The Herald representative at Shanghai
sends the following intelligence which
was received on the 18th: hear, on the
best authority, that the Pekin authorities
have condemned Chung How, the late
ambassador to Russia, to death. He was
originally suspended on the pretext that
he had returned without imperial per-
mission. The six boards and the nine
courts and other judicial bodies at Pekin
were instructed to inquire into his con-
duct while conducting the mission, and
particularly into the question whether

The steamer Montana, Capt. Gadd,
which sailed from New York, March
2nd, for Liverpool, went aground in
Church Bay, on the coast of Wales, on
the 18th, during dense fog. She arriv-
ed at Queenstown all right, and was on
her way to Liverpool when the accident
occurred. The passengers and mail were
at once got ashore. It was thought
nearly all the cargo could be saved, but
the vessel was so hard aground that lit
tie hope of saving her was entertained.
The steamer Montana is the largest ship
of the Williams & Guion Line, except
the Arizona; is of iron, has three masts,
and 800 tons measurement. She was in
charge Of pilot at the time of the dis
astel, and carried full cargo, chiefly of

The marriage Of Archduke Rudolph,
Prince Imperial of Austria, and Princess
Stephanie of Belgium will b. an i'm
portant European event, as it will tend to
bring the last-named country into the
ring of states Bismarck is quietly forming
around France, says London dispatch
of the 18th. The Austro German policy,
through this marriage, will be para
mount at Brussels, as it at Madrid, and
the court of England will be drawn
thereby more strongly to the side toward
which it leans. The Princess Stephanie
often runs into Paris incognito with
King Leopold. She made a flying visit
to the British embassy the last timeQueen
Victoria was there. She was then tall,
growing girl, long-nosed, blonde, and
not pretty, but a appy-looking maiden.
The Archduke Rudolph's fiancee is an
astonishing good linguist, musician, and
equestrian, and said to be poetic. She
has artistic sensibilities and sound judg-
ment. The Archduke Rudolph often
met her in Germany. Not fancying
Saxon princess, the Austrian crown
prince thought he might as well be d.
rected by political considerations and
espouse Stephanie, who is just the prin-
cess to share the throne of constitu-
tional Catholic, and highly-educated EN-.
peror. Rudolph is tall, clever, passion
ately fond of wild sports, and somewhat
eccentric and impetuous.
