If wiy of your mimerous readers will take the trouble to walk along the foreshore during the evening, it will be seen that almost if not quite' every seat is occupied by four or five Chinamen, and that there is no chance of a foreigner getting one there at al}, for the Chinese, in increasing numbers every day, are ready to pounce down on the first unoccupied bench.

Yours, ete., Shanghai, 29th July.
