At present there are two; one, belonging to the Roman Catholics, enclosed with a wall, other a general one on the opposite: side of the river, cheek by jowl withthe Chinese in fact the few foreigners' graves there are in the middle, and form a part, of " wilderness of mounds; without any partition or screen whatever from their Chinese neigh-hours.
