New York, May 29sh.-Lung Poy, alias
| Kong Hing the Paterson Chinaman who
was assaulted by his fellow. countyymen last
Sunday, is in bad way. His cue has suf-

Of his left hand are crushed, his left eye is no
longer almond-shaped, but hopelessly dis
| figured, ard the uniformity Of his mahogany
complexion is interrupted by innumerable
| gashes, scratches and wooden heel marks. A
stranger to Mr.. Lung Poy's recent trials and
| tribulations would naturally conclude that
he had been trying to put head on j. Long
fellow sullivan and had got left. The Chi
nese are generally exercised over the arrests
ard large sums Of n oney are being collected
to psy the expenses of the seven heather
gentlemen now lodging in the Paterson jail.
