Mr. M. McIlrath, brother of the missing Mr. Hugh McIlrath, of Sydney, has re-turned to Hongkong (says The South China Morning Post), after a fruitless search in Shanghai, and is about to pro-ceed to Sydney, taking with him hit??? missing brother's effects, which are all he has been able to trace of him. These were left partly at the Hongkong Hotel and jwrlly with a friend, but they contained.* nothing even in the form of a faint cl???iK to indicate the slightest suggestion as to the midding man's intentions or move-ments, further than that he was going to Canton. The City of Rama has been searched high and low, but neither this effort nor the handsome reward of $5,000 has had the desired effect. The hue and cry has now been raised in Singapore and Saigon. Circulars have been issued, and the oftVr of a rewanl advertised, ami conHdcrahle interest ap|iccir* to have hren uroiwcd. The most fen-siMo idea is thai, Ix-inc a slmngcr. die mu-vins man was done to death on a fampau at nighttime in Ihc middle of the liarlxmr, hir body robbed and dumped outride I!..- limit* ot the colony.
