The China Mail says, although Hongkong appears to have so far escaped from any serious typhoon on September 23, being the anniversary of the terrific cyclone of 1874—a fair share of rough weather seems to have visited the China Seas in the vicinity of the Island on almost every side. The last mention of such an occurrence is by telegram—a gale having passed somewhere between Amoy and Foochow on or about September 21. The coasting steamer Taiwan appears to have suffered somewhat severely by its force, having lost her foremast and all her boats during her down trip. The Daily Press adds that the German bark Marie, Captain Burmeister, from Dunedin, N.Z, met with some bad weather at the commencement of her voyage, by which she lost boats, passengers' galley, and received other damage; and in the China Sea on September 20, she was overtaken by a typhoon. The gale commenced at 6.10 am. and lasted until 11 o'clock but she: appears to have come through it without injury—the American three-masted schooner Rosina has Been sold for $5,150. The purchasers are Chinese, and they intend to take her to Macao and put her under the Chinese flag.
