A SANDSTORM, We had a "sandstorm" on the 30th ultimo. It is not often they Wenchow, though at rare intervals we have Known floors and furniture all covered with a layer of idess. On this occasion it was of, 1 moment, but the sky was a dull colour for 24 hours, and the hills scarcely visible. Query—Is Wenchow the southern extreme of the "sandstorm" area? An= other query—Was it a true sandstorm? Your issues to the 3rd say nothing of its reaching Shanghai.
7th October.
