Dead Freight.

--‘The clipper ship Storm King has sailed from this port for Hong Kong with a cargo of lumber and grain. She also takes several pacing ponies. About two hundred Chinese go as passengers, including two merchants of that country. Deep in the hold are nine baskets full of dead Chinamen. It may not be known that emigration companies at Hong Kong agree to take back the people who come here, dead or alive. The ashes of nine of their number that were buried in California have been gathered, and are now about to be reinterred in their native land. Frequently one or two hundred dead Chinamen, boxed up, are conveyed back to the Flowery Kingdom.--’ San Francisco Bulletin.
