This picturesque spots to be found round Shanghai, the clumps of trees here willows bordering the first, and only, water-jump of formidable width, breaking the usually dull level of the plain very pleasingly. Nearly all the mounds were occupied by foreigners and Chinese, hundreds of the latter being present both from the Settlement and adjacent country. From the start, the paper, which was laid by Messrs.
