At that time she bad soma money which she refused to give to the prisoner, who had been endeavouring to borrow money, but without success. Shortly after three o'clock, he was found with the very sum of money it was known his wife possessed. He appeared then very wild, and was drinking all the afternoon. Shortly after three, no one could find the deceased, and there was no reply to all demands for admission into the house.

CHINESE EMIGRANTS.— Copies of communic..tions to or from the Foreign Office, and other departments of her Majesty's government on the sabject of mortality on be rd the ship Duke of Portland, carrying emigrants from China, have just been published by order of parliament. The Duke of Portland sailed from Hongkong wilt 330 (rot 500) Chinese emigrants, bound for Havennah, and 130 died on the voyage from fever and suicide, the remainder (200) having been safely landed: A rigid enquiry into the circumstances was instituted by the g v rnment. Another vessel, the John Calvin, lost 122 out of 297 colonists. No blame attaches to the masters of either vessel ; bolt ships had exoeriencecl surgeons and ample acclmmodation A fatal disease manifested itself on bowl the Duke of Portland, end soon became, epi lemic. The causes of the sickness are traced to the quality of the w :ter, and partly to the smoking of opium in excess. The local marine board (Cornhill) are unanimously of opinion that no blame attaches to the owners or captains, or to any one connected with the ships. It appears to the board that the mortality on board the Pertiand was much aggravated by the great heat and unusual length of the voyage (150 days), caused by the sailing of the ship in an improper season—one month, at least, later than she ought to have done—to enable her to get down the China seas. The Chinese emigrants gave much trouble on board; they made frequent attempts to take the ship, and the captain never lay down in bed without a cutlass at his belt. Mr. D. Ludgat, the surgeon of the ship, states that a low typhoid fever was generally prevalent among the low class of Chinese, and was brought on board by them at Hon?, bong. The sickness was attributed to improper food used by themselves, such as onions and pickles. The habits of the Chinese were very filthy. The coolies died from debility and affection of the liver and lungs, and exhaustion arising from the seeds of the disease. The disposition to commit suicide was most remarkable. An explanation has been demanded from Sir Jehn Bowring by the Colonial Office relative to the number which the above vessels were legally qualified to carry.
