Hutukhtu of Yenyinchtchenhua.

The Pekin Gazette of June 7 last contains a memorial from the Chinese general in command at Kuldja, asking the emperor to sanction an avatar. A certain ruler—named Kung-mu-pa-t'u-kun-the emperor in the ’oos, when the Mohammedan rebels had overrun all the country round. He lias died; and the mu-pa-ju-p'u-cliun held Tarbagatal for Mongol tribes among whom he dwelt are anxious to have him once more among them. At their request, accordingly, the memorialist “begs that a special edict may be issued granting permission to the heroic soul liutukhtu to become an avatar—in other words, that his spirit be permitted by special grace of the throne to become re-em-bodled, to serve again the sacred dynasty for the preservation of which he fought so valiantly.” The emperor assents, and appoints him, beforehand, liutukhtu of the Monastery of Yenyincliicheuhua.—London Saturday Review.
