We would remind our readers that, it is also the population, and that circular can paw of the population, and that circular are Dow sent round to the various house-holders in order that they may be filled up. There can be nothing objectionably in this; at some future day tho consia of Hongkong in 1845 will be a raluable statistical document, and one from which evidence of the increase and prosperity of the colony may be deduced.

We hear many complaints of the insolence of the Chinese Mechanics employed on the va- rious buildings, public and private, now in the course of erection, It is to be feared, that the irresolution of government in yielding to their grand demonstration" in the registration melo drama, has imparted to the ignorant natives algas of their own powers, and of the weakness of the law, which will lead to difficulties, and they will only be convinced of the fallacy of such opinions, by coercion.

In some instances, contractors are obliged to throw up contracts the labourere refusing to work for certain individuals who have incurred their displeasure by informing upon my of their number who inay have committed crime. The sinne-masons form one combination, the brick-layers another and the carpenters third, Each act appear to act independently, but either of them can impede the eraction of a building by leaving off work,

It was but a few days ago that, a carpenter was caught pilfering in the market. The man he was rubling, gave him in charge of the police, but when his fellow workman beard of the allair, they struck to the number of soine hun dreds, and intimated to the Gentleman under whom they were employed that, unless he brid- ed the prosecutor to come forward and deny bis charge they would cease to labour. Many other instances are mentioned of unprincipled combination, by which the government, and the Eumpean part of the population, are equally defrauded by the natives. From the domestic servant, to the largo contractor, the system is the armu. We bear--but we do not state it on authority--that the colonial government, in ad- dition to the stipulated amount of contract, was lately compelled to pay their contracture and labourers sums in the shape of gifts, before they could prevail upon them to finish works which they were under obligation to do.

Combinations anong the labouring or manu- facturing classes of England are not of rare go currence. They are however generally caused by the low rate of wages, and the high price of bread, and in no instance, have we over heard f such combinations, or unions, attempting by threats to discontinue labour,lo induce their ein ployer to commit such a heinous crime as 158 bribing witness to criminate himself, by denial of the truth. Neither have we heard of the unions at bome, insisting upon bribes being paid to themselves on employers, before they would finish a work contracted fur. Yet we bear of these things in Hongkong almost daily. The difficulty is how to punish auch inen. The laws of England may not be satisfied with the evidence brought fugward; or the subjegl of complaint may not be incompatible with the Liberty of the subject which they recognise.

SEPTEMBER NEWS.

(From the London Mail) The success of the French arms in Africa have completely eclipsed the glories of Tahiu: Tangier was bombarded on the 6th August, but neither the manner of allack nor the effect of the fift, calculated to impress us very highly with the effici ency of the French matine. The whole proceeding was witoral from the deck of,he Warpus ; and Due of the officers of that ship fyrnished a critique to the Timer, which has been severely saimadvert ed upon; and, perhaps, justly, in as far as it reflects upon the personal courage of the milants, which is of course not to be questioned, in other par lículare ha is probably correct, for the fire does | not seem to have made the impression apon the works that might have been expected. One so count stairs at the Moors fought gallantly, and that the town itself was rarely injured—¡il seeme to have been spared,)-and that the writer adda, that, when after six hours firing, which damaged the works about the water, but did not breach them any where, the French feet bauled off, the forta continued to ie upon them, and nols Bng was struck. The garrigs had to defend the town not only against the French, but the Kabyles, who were at the same time sitempting to pillage and barn it. The Prince de Joinville u charged with baving precipitated this attack in order to achieve ictory ore British influence could secure prace, nad certain it is that Mr Drummond Hey arrived in the mid of the fire, good man; somewhat us. tonished having left Morocco on the 29th July, after an interview with the Emperor, which im- promed him with the belief that his mission had suc. ceeded. The Prince justiɓes himself in despaich, in which he mys. "On the 2nd August, the day fixed for the reply to the whimatum, nothing resched us. I waited then for news of Mr. Hay, before commencing hostilition. On the 4th a letter of Bidi Boussolou, Fachs of Larache, was sent ut, more measured, morn conciliating, than preceding one; it reneweil, nevertheless, the insolent demand of the punishment of the marshal. The letter of Bidi Bousselas said not a word of the removal of the corps of troops collected near Ouchds As to Abd el-Kader Sidi Bousselain nameled that he was no longer on the Marocco territory, and that orders had been given to prevent his returning to it. Nevertheless, the Marshal learned at the same tima that Abdel Kader had gone into the interior of Morocco, and that he was two days' march in the rent of the Moorish camp Those accounts had but one object, to triffe with us. Unessy at learning nothing of Mr Hay, I sent the Foloer stromer in juquire and bring news of him. The Veloce came back on the 6th to Tangier, bringing und word that Mr. Hay, was in mfely at Mogador.

English news to the 19th September,

via the Sandwich Island.

We have this morning bean favored with a Sandwich Island paper of the 14th Ultimo, brought by the Schooner Denia, after a quick passage of 27 days. Intelligence from England, via the West Indies and Mexico, had been received at the Islands, of 13 days luter dates than we are now in possession of. The Tahiti question has been settled amicably; the French Government pay- ing Mr. Pritchard 25,000 francs as com. pensation; removing M. D'Aubigny from the Islands, and apologizing for his conduct.

The French war with the Sultan of Morroco is also at an end; and we ap prehend that, for a time, the peace of Europe is not likely to be di turbed by any grand national war between France and Eugland.

The United Statre Brig Perry, had arrived at Hon-lulu previous to the 14th Ultimo. She landed Mr. Cushing at San Blas, on the West Coast of Mexico. It was anticipated that he would arrive in the United States in December, hav- ing sailed from China in the latter end of August.

We copy a few paragarplis from "the Polynesian."

The Tahiti question has been settled. little to the taste of the Bre-enters on both sides of the channel. The par- ticular in regard to Tahiti, we unve not learned; but satisfactius has been made to Alt. Pritchard by a præent of 25,000 francs. M. D'Aubigny has been removed from Tahiti, and his conduel ninde the subject of apology. He had previously been censured by his superior officer, Gov, Bruil The latter has become Capitaine de Vaisseau, of the first clo.-The Times admits that Mr. Pritchard bad certainly outstepped propriety in the part be took towards the French after their occu pation of the island, and hail aclod niore or less an the partisan and fomenter of hostility to them, seema but too probable. And although such a dis position on his part, if it abstained fmm positivo overt acu of hostility, did not render hitn liable to soisure and deprive him of the privilege of inviola bility which surrounds the person of British Consul, still it was a provocative to violence, and therefore must be considered a palliation of "

In ruumilling to you the accompanying Ordi. nance, by which the nature of the jurisdiction con- ferred

upon you in malere of a Criminal nature is further deful and the manner in which such jurisdiction is to be exercised by you pointed out, 1 have to call your particular attention to the follow ing obarvations.

The right of British Consular Officers to exercise duy jurisdiction in China, in matters which in other countrica come exclusively under the control of the local Magistrates, depends originally on the extent to which that right has been conceded by the Em. perer of China to the British Crown, and therefore the right is strictly limited to the terms in which the concession is made,

You will forthwith report upon the menus at foar disposal for executing maisaces of imprison. ment, and on the practice which you have hitherto observed in this respect; and in the meanwhile you are enjoined, whenever recourse is had to the prisons of the country, to arange with the local Authorities that any British prisoner who may be confined therein shall be visited daily by any person appointed by you, and if necessary by Medical

Majesty's Government that those powers shoult not be needlessly or lighly employef; but that, on the country, whenever differences can be adjusted in a cogciliatory manner, such a termination should be promoted and recommended, and that whenever crimes are to be punished, certain and speedy, rather than sevete, punishment is to be preferred.

You will oluerre that three courses of proceed Ing are prescribed. viz. A summary decision; a decision with the amistance of Aressure chosen from the British Community; and a course to The Criminal tribunal of Hongkong.

The object for which the jurisdiction is to bằ exercised renders il unnecessary to deal with crimes occording to the strict definition of English Law, even if the means at the disposal of the Consula, and the extent of legal knowledge which they can be expected to possess, admitted of such a course.

"The utmost that it appears necesary to attempt In this respect is, that a rule should be laid down that an action which would be criminal in the Bri. tish dominions, should be equally considered an criminal in Ching. But, in dealing with such criminal actions, regard must be had to local cir. cumstance and necessities to the British Domi- njona, many crimes unimportant in thehaselves must be dealt with, in consequence of the denomination by which they are distinguished, in the anne formal manner as crimes of more solous description. An insignilicant theft, boing a "felony," must in most cases be submitted to the decision of a jury, equally with the most extensive robbery. But this rule need not be adhered to in the Copular Courts in China. There all crimes of a trifling kind, ander whatever legal denomination they many be else, may safely be disposed of summarily by the Consol, and sufficiently stoned for by punish- inent within the limits prescribed by the Ordinance for the sole jurisdiction of the Consul ; while crimes of a more serious kind must be reserved for adju- dication by the Consul in a tribunal more formally constituted by the prosence of Assessors.

But in onder to provide the means of dealing with crimes which may be too serion for even this more formal tribunal io decide upon and which in England would be reserved for a Judge of Ausize, the Tahod of Hongkong has been appointed as the place of trial fur offences committed by British Subjects in the Chinese Dominina.

It is intended that in all places where more than oor Conmalar Officer is residing, the Squier t'on- pular Officer shall hold the Constar Compta esta- blished by the present Ordinance, unless be shonki for some reasonable exuse be temporarily incapa. citated from so doing; and that little time as circunstances will admit abduk! in all cases in- Terreno between the apprehension of a party, and the hearing and decision of the charge brought agajost him.

Much dissatisfaction continues among the slone masoud and other employed in buiki ing. Ono gentlemen, who has been greatly annnyed by contractor throwing up th contract after the building had commencer, made arrangements with seened party to finish the work: one of the people employed by the first contractor appeared on the ground and endeavoured to intimidate the new hands, when he was handed over to the police, and the offence being proven, the Chief Magistrato very properly fined him forty dul- lars with a short imprimament

Upon hearing of this, the stone masons held was resolved that, the meeting, at which

party who obtained the conviction mould also obtain the entprit's beration; that the new contractor should pay all arrears of wages duo by the old contractor, who has abscondeil; and that the four men who appeared as wit- nesses should be fined by this self constituted court in the sum of 20. Failing the carrying out of this their fiat, labour was to he spend ed. We hear that the contractor has submitted to pay inen wages whom he did not employ, also that the witnesses have paid their fue, but the man is of course still in prison.

SANDWICH ISLANDS,

We copy from the "Friend of India" a good cleal of information, regarding this interesting group of islands now about being changed

from barbariam to civilization.

On looking over a list of the fines and pe- nalties enforced by the laws of the semi-barbe. rous government, our Europoon ideas are rather startled at the ratio by which erines are put nished. We read 1000 for any captait, land ing a passenger without permission-adultery 30; breach of the quarnitine laws $1,000, lewd seductive and tasrivins conduct 810; korwingly and maliciously violating the quaran nne laws, whereby a contagios desea is to

ment.

The third course pointed out is for crimes of the greatest enormity; such as at home are usually reserved for a Judge of Assizes. It is intended, at least for the present, that poople charged with murder shall be sent for trial to Hongkong; but previnas to this being done the depositions, of witnesses require to be for warded to His Excellency, who will consult with the legal authorities as to the probability of obtaining conviction, before the expence of transporting the accused with the witnesses is incurrent.

We think a perusal of the circular and or dinance, will show with tolerable clearness the ties and pover of the Consuls, and enable the British residents to understand their precise position. Among Christian nations it is not stal in grant to foreigners the privilege of trial by their own lawr,and by their own country.

When Mr. Thom was engaged with tho Chinese commissioners in settling the now tariff, ho was at much trouble in drawing up tables of the imports and exports of Chins, with the duties paid thereon. It is to be presumed that the scale of moderato duties arranged with the commissionors was satisfactory to them, as promising to yield tho Imperial government as great, if not a greater revenue, than they usually drow from thir source. The actual amount paid in 1841 exceeds the calculations made at that time,in the sano proportion as the trade han ovor stopped its old boundaries.

M. 18th Regt, who were relieved by part of the 99th The Sap phire will sail for Koolungsoo in a few days to embark the troops on that island, it being the intention of His Excellency that they should ¦ evacuate the garrison immediately. After per forming this service, it is understood that the Sapphie will carry that portion of the 18th now in this colony to Chusan, returning with the part of the 18th in garrison there.

At Chusan there live been soino salos of long cloths (gray) at § 8. 40 to 3. 45—bleach ed goods were not in demand, holders however, askeil 3. 75.-drug was dull.

The exports from Canton in 1844 wero £3,883,828; for the first six months they were £1,888,281 making the increase on the latter half of the year £197,908; In looking over the return we select the principal items of this large amount, and briefly compare them with those shipped in previous years.

SILK

The silk trade of China has always been a fluctuating one. En 1832 it was in round numbers 8,451 picule; five yours later it ups pears to have arrived at its maximum of 15,000 Balos (12.300 picul); in 1843 it had fallen off to 2.439 Balos and 128 Boxes; Thús decrease was in a great degree in consequence of the late war, the growth of the mubberry silk having been for a time and the culture neglected. Mr. Thom gave an average of 8,800 piculs, which in former years was not far from the mark; but the trade in silk is about undergoing a wonderful change, and the best informed of our merchants anticipate that, provided the houne market continues good the ibipments will annually increase. This is how. ever a matter of opinion; our owu impression is that if silk can be placed to pay at reasona ble prices, and so long as that happy prosperity

The Churles Jonce has arrived at Shanghai with an assorted cargo, chiefly of Cotton manu. factured goods. This vessol, as our readers are award, is followed by five or six others, from, which it is to bo presumed the northern mar with which Great Britain is blessed continues, kets will be stocked, and shipments from this quarter ceas for time.

The new port of Shanghai already rivals Canton in this staple oxport, and we deem it best, although not strictly in accordance with

■ review of the exporta from Canton, to refer to the Silk shipped from the northern port. There has been shipped from Shanghai (chiefly to Hongkong for transhipment to England) during the present year 3,885 Bales of Tralice and 1,429 Balon of Taysaam Silk, or 3,047 piculs. We have thus the entire export for the year, Frum Canton,

terly the trade has declined in consequence of dan favorable price at which the produce of Manila, Siam and Java can be laid down in Bombay. For the past year the grues amount of sugar shipped to India and Great Britain is in value.

Our contcmporary of the Mail-wls by the way was a day beyond his time last issue-ap- pears to make and havoc with goography as well as with established facts. He gravely! Jells us that, his paper containa inoro mattor than any other paper east of India. Burely our contemporary.cannot be in ignorance of the existence of Australia-perhaps more familiarly known to him an Botany Bay-neither can be so far have forgotten his boyish days, as not to know that on all school, as well as other inape, Aus- tralia is laid down some forty or fifty degrees to the eastward of Bengal. We do not notice this little slip from any desire we have unnecomarily to point out unimportant errors, but really considering the uuinber of young people who are growing up around us, it is proper that they should not be misguided by such sta- lemonts. Our contemporary appears to have got more arcustomed to his superiority over his Brethern of the pross, who are humble in "inan- or 13,039 Balon of 82 Catties each; giving Der, in matter, and in intelligence," he now only an catinated value boasts if his size; We are worry to deprive him oven of this lobby, but remembering the five or six papers which appeare of them daily -in Australasis, we submit to him in the kindest manner, whether he is not in little vain glorious when be boasts that he “ contains moro matter than any other paper cast of India.”

His Excellency the Governor of Hongkong has giren publicly to the return furnished by the Con- sul of Shanghai of the value of goods imported and exported at that port in the second quarter of the promat year. The imports amounted to 3,82,000 Jullam, or £300 000 a year; but the trade is in its very infancy; it has nothing of the bone and gristle even of youth. The Friend of China of the 23rd of Suveinber states, that while the imports of the culton manufactures of Great Britain during this quarter are stated at 54,838 pieces, tha imports during the next quarter, and to the middle of Uoto. for, were not far short of 130,000 pieces. Among the expor a,-which amounted in the quretor ending June to 121,100 dollars,—80:23 culties of raw silk

the throe and a half months subsequent to June, equal to about 1000 bales are mentioned; during thero worn shippod not less than 3000 bales of raw milk; quality nearly equal to the entire export this almost inercdable encrouse in so surt a spacu of silk from Chana during the previous year.

thore can be no doubt whatever. Foreign vessels are privileged to carry opium, or any other morchandise from nuy British port in lodia, or elsewhere, to any other port, so long

they do not take it to a British port. Thus American skipe may carry British goods from England to Macao, Whampoa or any of the other ports of China, but legally they cannot ! land a' bale in Hongkong, and tho samo with opium. No fureign ship can ongage in the coasting trade-that is, they cannot carry freight from one British port to another British port; neither can an English vessel carry frought from one port in the United Staton to auther port in the Republic.

We observe that the Englishman has publis heda saries of articles on the state of affairs in Tungkong. We have only had leisiro to dip into one of them, that for establubing a Su preme Court, andwo certainly differ from him in opinion as to nature of thiại court, and the act of Council by which it was constituted. The Englishman is most unfortunata in his observations on this subject, but in our next issue we will enter upon it at greater length,

wo consider the Supreme Court of Hon gkong, as constituted an institution almost unex- capsionalite.

THE FRIEND OF CHINA, AND HONGKONG GAZETTE.

VICTORIA, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 1915 Wo have recently had laid before. u o evidence that cannot be questioned, sintoments of the British trade with China, which show that though in ita infancy, it is one of the principal of those gigantic commercial opera. tions, which have placed our country in her present pro-ominent position among the civilized nations of the world. From the days of Tyre," whose merchants werg princes and the honourable of earth," until those of Venice-whose trading citizens were nɔbles, whose naval forces slood balwarka against the encroachments of the followers of aho mel, and whose mas among the chivalry of Europe had no superiors,cuininerce has been the fount from whenes sprung the goldun streams which nourished the vitality of the state. Since the discovery of the new work, and tho no les valuable one of the passage round the Cape, the nations of Europe have each more or less participated in the advan tages which wider folda opened to the cul. tivation of trade. Holland, Portugal, France, and England struggled for this east-Spain, with an avaricious spirit claimed the greater portion of the new territories of the west, from which she for a time totally excludat her rivals. It is little more than Útrez centuries inco the first of those conflicts for maritimis and commercial supremacy begun, which tors minated so gloriously for Great Britain, anıl Jest har in possession of the most valuable colonies and territories which evor grantest - allegiance to any government. In the exst, in west, and in the still but little known solitules of the southern pacific, her enterprising son havo raised the flag of their country, and not an artisan of the over peopled island, but may thank the spirit of commercial enterprise, which i peculiarly, the charactor of the nation, for much of the comfort be now enjoys.

We give in a condensed form the particulars, it being quite unnecessary to fill our columns with the small items of enef; we also re-publish Mr. MacGregor's general summary of the trade of the port, and his ro., marks, which are those of a practical and intel- ligent commercial writer.

Opium too, hus not escaped the privilege of retailing the drug for commumptio in tem qties than a chust has been sold, lensed, or farmel for 720 per month, yielding the government, alway a slippos ing the rent to be paid, ✪ 9,640 per annum. The injury inflicted by this is much greater then may be apparent at a finu ginoco, and in the present position of the colony, a mom injudicious measure could not have been devis ed. "The government have not even the Jana- tical apology of a desire to limit the use of the drug among the native inhabitants the side in- decernent was the probability of drawing a pal-

try revenuo, and for this every other considers- tion has been set at nough. We need not in- from our focal readers, that through blunders in the translation of official documents, and through various regulations connected with the harbour and the native shipping some of them good in themselves—as well as charges, which in the natives appear acts of extortion, they look upon the colony and its rulers with us picion. They becouse alarmed by each now edict. and those or part of thern-who were early settlers are leaving the island; the occasional vise- or profer going to Macan to supply themselves with goods, and our trade, which ought under proper management to increase is dwindling away. The opium farming is the most severe low it has folt since the supplementary treaty. It is not that the tax will materially influenco the focal consumption, but it will most material. ty influence the local sales. A very largo por tion of the drug is purclined by dealers in small quantities not for use, but on purpose to refine and well to the boots wheil visit the harbour, for export to the mainland. This will be put an end to—at least the attempt will be mado—and these boats will seek a ina ket olnowhere. We have been furnished with a statement, from which we gather that, the sales of opium nomi- nally for local consumption are nearly 1,000 chesto a year, valued at $700,000. Őf this it is estimated that #210,000 worth is consumed on the island; the residuo iu value $490,000 is exported. For the purpose of drawing a wnull rovenuo this trade is sacrificed; and not alono the 1,000 chests, of opium, but trade of every description, the natives being alarmed by our imports, and afraid to trust Themselves in our harbour,

Jnd His Excellency waited until the trade of the port was established, and then put on mu lernie taxes, he might have done so without injury, and with the certainly of raising revenue, but this prematuro attempt will drive away our customers, and will not be the incans of draw. ing more than a more pittanco into the oxchequer.

Wo predict that the Opium regulations will prove a failure. After a` careful perusal of them we cannot see that a Magistrate could convict or punish any man for selling low than a chest. It is stated that that can be sold; the great balk of the dealers for consumption a chest is the smallest quantity

There has been no further intelligence receiv- ed from Amoy. The Vixen returned to this har- hour on Wodnesday; on Tuesday when within ninely miles of Amoy she broke some important part of her machinery, which compelled her to Lear up for this place for repairs, and it is questionable whether she will not require to proceed to India for that purpose. The arrival of . M. 8. Samarang, Captain Sir Edward Belcher, has added to the strength of the avail able Beet in the China seas, which at present consists of H. N. Ships Castor, Iria and Sawarung with the Hon. Company's Steamer Medwan. Of the other ships of the squadron, the Wolf has gone to Calcutta with freight, the Agincourt to Singapore with freight, and the Vestal to Madras for repairs (now lower rigging.)

The duties so paid are an advance to the govern mant, by the Importers, of the duties intended to be levied upon the goods when consumed. It is money laken directly from the capital employed in commerce. I therefore, a surplus accumulates beyond the immediate wants of cummeron, it is clearly on set of justice that surplus should be placed in a position to be re-loaned to those that paidat in. To do this in a just manner, the money hould be deposited, pro rato, sinong all those banks of the city, the enatomers of which pay the duties.

In the 18th Charles I., an act which prohibited the the importation of gunpowder was repealed. The preamble of the repealing stelute was in these words: "Whereas the importation of gunpowder from foreign parts, hath of late times been against law prohibited, and the making of it within tila realni ingeoned, whereby the price of gunpowder hath been excessively rained, many powder-work decayed, this kingdom very much weakened and endangered, the merchants thereof much dina Red." &c., &c. It this language truly auts forth the effects of protection, they were very different from those chimne1 for it at the present itay The price of the protected article was incressed, rather than diminished; the persone engaged is the per- sust, were impoverished, not enriched; and the country weakened and endangered, rather chas mile strong, secute or prosperou ↑ This len

fered from the more recent statules which hare been passed for the aid of in-lustry. But the air. gular sosuha which the preambla declares to have followed the prohibitory statute, con only be ac emsted for upon the supposition, that the art of making gunpowder was so little known. That veen in cuntrul of the market failed to perfect the busi. news; otherwise, the powder works would not have alreayed, not the country born weikened and ens dangered, though the cannumere might have been exorbitantly taxed for the article.

tions of those sticka on l' workmen which woukl produce or encourago competition. But the com cessions of power and revenue which were wrong from the crown, the accountability which the peo ple required though parliament, so crippled the resources of the throne, that the present system of levying duties on imports was introduced. Various Bumbay Bales, anls were passed for this parpose. Among them. Bengal do were that of lat James 11, and a William and

Mary. The former was confined to wina labacco. ale, beer &e; the latter included Imports and ex- poils generally.

In the effort to control and encourage trade and production, by statutes, the wages of the laborer did not escape notice. The hours which artificers and laborerein should work, and the time for meals and sloop, were determined by a statuto 8th Henry VIIL By an act let James 1. it was provided. that “the jullees of the peace in the several coun. tics, on the 12th of July, in each year, shall deler. mine nod dealers throughout the couply, the price which every, artificer and isbarer should receive for his work, the price being determined by the price of other articles.

It will be seen that the early laws of England opon trades mers destitute of any common feature. In one reign, one course of policy was pursued, and in another reign, the policy was completely changed. But few of the mesuren were success ful, and those were injurious to all those who were not directly benefked.

The town was quite electrified on Tursday morn ing by the announcement of the arrival of the Hon. Mr. Cushing, our Minister to China, in the barque Eugenin, from Vera Cruz, after a short and silen sant passage of eighteen days. A report had that morning oldmined currency that this gentleman and preceded northward to Oregon, for the par- pose of making one personal examinations into the condition of that territory, but his appearance of cours set all such speculations at rest.

We are happy in state that Mr. Cushing is in excellent health; never looked better, and has burna all the changes of climate, and the fatigue of his journis. without physical inconvenience or injury to his health.

The narrative of his personal adventures, from first to last, la one of the most interesting to which we have ever listened, and will, we hope, bo one day picanted to his countrymen by his own able hand. Some of the most pleasing contributions to science, history and narrativo, are the descriptions of the English Mistions to China, of Lord Macart Dey and Lord Amherst. We do not doubt, how ever, that Mr. Cushing could supply us withs something still more valuable. The communica. tinne already sent bone by him to the Instituto at Washington, are conclusivo evidenco of his profund observation, his scientific attainment, vixd bis untiring induary.

(From the London Mail, Feby. 7.) GENERAL REMARKS, Her Majesty opened Parliment on the 4th Feby, with pooch from the Throns, in which some subjects of general interest were briefly noticed; but like every previous docu ment of the same kind, it was just sufficiently explicit to indicate the general policy by which Ministers will be guided, without pledging the Government upon any question likely to be discussed during the present session. It com- menred with a congratulatory allusion to the improved condition of the country, the incress ed activity which pervades almost every branch of manufacture, and the extension of trade and commerce especially cominending the spirit of cheerful obedience to the laws exhibited by all classes of the people. Her Majesty next diabolical attempt was never made to destroy and merchands can procure money at 1 per cent., louched upon the state of our foreign refations, commercial credit: but it is a curious fact, that earn are obliged to pay 4 per cent, and more, how the visits to this country of the Emperor of the business like and systematic manner in a it possible fur them to sustain the competition!

your communications would not be treated con- dentially. Yours very slnerrely.

I have throughout the whole of this odious affair abstained as much as possible from recri- mination in speaking of the conversation at Mr Franklyn's, knowing that without witnesses to prove what was said, there would be no end of assertions and denials | but while it is true thai neither upon this occasion, nor at any other time, have I made any assertion" that I would not have uttered in Major Caine's own presence," everyone knows that words caught up by the ear of malevolence, and repeated by the lipe of sycophancy, may be made to convey sa impression is erroneous as the greatest falsity that ever was hatched. At the same time, with- out pretending to such a faculty in mnemonics as to be able to condescend on the words of a conversation which took pince a month ago, I cannot easily forget the impression made upon my mind by Mr Franklyn's declamations galust Major Caine, setting out with a long tirada upon the list of market prices which Major Caine certißes, and I publish in the CHIA MAIL, afterwards diverging to the women in Tai-ping-shan, in which I was charged with keeping back the facts in order to protect the government, and concluding with the gratuit. our Information regarding the Opium Farm, which I abstain from saying more about, under- standing that it will shortly form the subject of a judicial investigation.

The great length to which this refutation has extended precludes farther remark; but I cannot conclude without assuring you and the public, that the supersions to which I have been subjected do not affect me so much as the feeling of degradation less it should be sup posed I could have any except business inter- course with such persona. A calumny way be refuted, or a man's character may be proof agalnat it, but when Noscitur ex sociis can be

said of any one, there is nothing for it but to submit. Few things in life have I deplored so much as baving my nama dragged before the public as holding confidential communings with the originators of the slanders I have bere bastily, but I trust effectually, refuted.

The proposed alterations in the sugar duty will, it is feared, effectually check all shipments of white, or clayed, sugar from China. Our increasing commerce in this part of the world requires that the import of manufactured goods should be net by a corresponding expart of produce. The great staples of tea and silk are already shipped to quite as great an extent as the home consumption retulers prudent, and failing a reduction in the duty on ten, it was hoped that, any changes in that on Sugar would be favorable to the tra le of China, by enabling Merchants to purchase largo quanulies of clayed Sugar for the English market. If Sir Robert Peel carries his proposed measure, it will place white Sugar from China on a worse footing than formely, a mater which is extre mely to be regretted, as slight modification would have secured a large export, alike to the benefit of the manufacturer, the consumer, and the revenue.

In the Senate Mr. Portar presented a petition from Detroit, praying the annexation of Canads to the United States as a sola condition on which Texas shall be unnaxed. Mr. Foster and Mr. Hagby promptly denounced this attempt on the part of the abolitionist to bring the important question of an- nexing Texas in contempt by ridicule, and waroad them against pursuing this course, the tendency which was to disrupt the friendly relations ex- isting between England and the United States.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE Axaca The proceedings in Congress in connection with the Oregon Decupation hill pos Jess much interest.

The discussion, on the part of the friends of the measure, was of a most bo!- ligerent character. Mr. A. L.

Mr. A.

We have suppressed some editorial matter from a desire to publish as many extracts from the English papers as our columns will admit. We are aware that many of our subscribers are not in receipt of papers from home; and there. fore on the arrival of the overland mails we endeavour to give all the intelligence which

will interest them.

We regret to hear complaints of irregu Janty in the delivery of this paper. On all occanons of delay, or negloci to leave the papers at an early hour in the morning, we will be obliged by parties intimating the same, as there is no excuse for such irregularity.

Of late the harbour has been visited by a good many Junks from Chin-Chew and other places on the coast. A Gentleman, who buard. ed one of them a few days ago, informs us that she is loaded with Camphor, and that there are about half duzen tuore now at an- chor in the harbour with similar cargoes. Compared with the trade of Chios, the arrival of a low vasole with Camphor is a very trifling affair; but we look upon it as the commance- iment of an extensive traffic. The prudent policy of the present government, in avoiding every thing which may tend to alarm the native traders who visit us, will gradually give them confidence, and we may reasonably anticipate that ore long we will have an abundance of them in this harbour, bartering their cargons of campbor, rhubarb &c. for cotton guols and straits produce. At present the sales are so trifling, that it is not customary even to store straite produce here, but an evident demand for these articles, and the prospect of a futurs trade in them, will soon influence a supply.

SITTING OF THE Strams Count 20 Junk, 1845.

A Special Jary was empanneled for the trial of an action raised at the instance of the Crown against the Editor of the Friend of China for the publication of the following Article in his iue of the 18th July last which was alleged to contain a libel against Bir Thomas Cochrane:-

"It will be in the recollection of many of our readers, that Her Majesty's ship Wolf. got on a bank somewhere below Woosung, and But for the timely aid 'the Schooner Vizen, Capt. Carr, she would have been obliged to sacrifice her gape and shot before she could have got of The Wolf took the bank at high water, and could not possibly have been floated again without greatly reducing the dead weight on board. When first descried by the Vixen, abe, the Wolf, had a signal of distrom dying, and there can be no doubt that, had it come on to blow whilst she was lying in this critical position, she would have gone to pieces The Vixan ran alongside, nod look oul all her armament. 16 gun and 400,32 lb. shot,and it was not until relieved of this weight that she again Bloated: without this amistance she had no other alternative than to throw her guns overboard, or go to places on the bank. This is a clear case of salvage, and before any Admiralty court the sum awarded the Vizen for ber and would be considerabla. At the time the air occurred, Rear Admiral Sir Thomas Cochrane was at Chamn, when it was agreed between him and the Captain of the Vizan, that the question of compensation should be left open until Sir Thomas Cochrane returned to this colony. After Bir Thomas's return, the owners generously waived all claims for salvage, merely requesting the Roar Admiral to recompense the Captain and crew for their trouble, never doubting that, actuat

by a spirit of liberally similar to their own, Bir Thomas Cochrane would handsomely re- ward the tron of Her Majesty's ship In doing this they committed a copilul error; he, to whose justice and magoanimity they had entrusted the liquidation of the claims of the Captain and crew of the Vixen, could not ap- precinte such generous feelings, and taking advantage of the confidence thus misplaced, he offered to award in all $100, in the propor- tion of 45 for the Captain; 90 Chief Of Acer: $10 Gunner: Elench for the Crew. We need scarcely state that Captain Carr would not take advantage of the Reur Ad- miral meanness, and that in this instance Her – Majesty's ship has got off "scot free." Had the Vires been the party that was in jeopar

We are also pleased to bear, that, a good many of the Parace Merchants will very short- ly take up their abode on the islandt, adding to ila prosperity and we think affording themed better facilities for correspondence, and con- ducting that part of their business which is done out of Canton, than they now have at Macao. Altogether the prospects of the colony are en- couraging, provided our respected rulere will for a lime only refrain from ordinance making and taxation-which though they afford amuse ment to them, are death to us.

We copy from the columns of our contem porary the Hongkong Register, a report of the proceeding in the Supreme Court on Monday. The proprietor of this paper, was sried on a criminal information, obtained from the court at the instance of Rear Admiral Bir Thomas Cochrane, for publishing an alleged, label on the Rear Admiral, which appeared in the Friend of China lust July.

We do not discuss the merits of this case;

it is one so purely personal that, fortifed by

the verdict of an impartial jury, we prefer lay.

ing it before the public without comment. how ever, the wner of this paragraph may be permit ted for a moment to throw usidethe in which transmografies the individual into the se what mysterious editorial We, and speak in Lis own person, he would wish to state, that had an apology, in this instance been a all consistent with his own feelings it would have been proffered in an early stage of the proceedings. Every man is presumed to be the best guardian of his own honour, and after a careful enquiry as to the facts and merits of the case, the person who writes this believed most conscientiously that, he could not offer Bir Thomas Cochrane an apology, without com- promising the reputation of his paper, and outraging his own feelings; he preferred the alternative of an expensive prosecution, (with which the learned Allomey General has co- quetted for the last seven months), knowing

bat in the event of a conviction the con quences would be disastrous.

The matter unw settled, and he does not hesitate to BTOW that, he did not mean to charge Sir Thoma Cochrane with corrupt or dishonourable con. believes the Roar duct; on the contrary. Admiral incapable of doing anything which would merit such opprubrique epithet. Ad- matting this, he still retains his opinion, that in in selling the salvage case between the Schooner Viren and fler Majesty Ship Wolf, Sir Thomas Cochrane acted shabbily and showed a great want of judgment.

dy, and the Wolf rendered her næistance, we would have had the maller settled in a very different manner. Bir Thorne's mental op-

tics—which at times appear sealed up—would

have been fully opened to the importance of

the service, and if such a question were left to his award, we have not the slightest doubt that the $100 which was sufficient for the Tizen, would have swelled juto thousands for the Wolf. We regret exceedingly to notice such small action na I one now mentioned. They injure the dignity of the service not a hule; and although no thinking man, would judge unfavorably of those whose merits have been so often tested, in consequence of the lit- tle minded actions of their present Chill, we are bound to acknowledge that, to the thought- lem and ignorant, such trißes convey an un- favorable, though false impression of the naval character.

Bir Thomas Cochrane, if we recollect aright, has been a candidate for parliamentary hon. ours; once, at least, he stood for a sea port town, the most influential Inhabitants of which are shipowners should the gallant Admiral ever again seek to distinguish himself in the legislators of his country, we treat the affair wa narrate will be not proclaimed on the hus- tings, as we are afraid it would damn him in the eyes of any constituency Interested in the mercantile shipping of Great Britain."

The following were the Jurymen on the cass Thos Jones, Bay, Dancan Fletcher, Zaq, Angus Fletcher, Esq., F. T. Bush, Esq, J. Lol. fler, E, and George Findlay, Esq.

The Attorney-General in opening the case stated that this was an information on the part of the Queen to defend the character of Bir Thomas Cochrane, who had awarded a tum of 100 dollars for services rendered by

the Vixen to the Wolf as the full salvage

claimed that Mr. Carr well knowing thứ

occasion to vilify the Com- premises took mander-in-chief us having acted arbitrarily haughtily and unjustly, and to state that when services were rendered to FL M's. Ship Do adequate reward would be paid-To this charge Mr. Carr at first pleaded not guilty," but to-day he has added ass farther pics, that all be bad stated was true, and published for the benefit of the public. He was aware that whenever there was an attempt to check such objectionable publications there was raised an out-cry that it was for the purpose of curbing the liberty of the press. The Government here had no wish to do po an oficer discharging the high duty of Admiral, and in this case acting a judge of the Admiralty is complained of; partial statement of the facts is brought forward, for if the whole ficts had been stated, Sir Thomas Cochrane would have suffered no damage. A person in such circumstances ought not to be so negligent as to publish partial statements The Admiral is charged with grow partiality and corruption a Judge. You (the jury) will not fail to per rrive the motive on the face of the article. Will you ever believe that Sir Thomas was influenced by much motives, and that this was published for the benefit of the public and not to gratify some private feeling against him. It may produce the most prejudicial circulated among effect, for if this article

the mercantile navy here, should another of Her Majesty's Ships get into similar cir cumstances, it would deter them from render. ing their services.

have nothing to say against the service rendered by the Vixen, taking out guns, shot, &c. This adout, it was clear case of salvage. Sir Thomas had no wish to deny this. He aid to his Secretary Mr. Waller, "I know nothing of this cnas; you will call on Mr. Matheson, and learn what he claims," Mr. Walter did call and Mr. Matheson very liberally refused to receive anything. Mr. Waller asked what compensation would ha enough for the crew of the Vixen, Mr. Matheson said about 105 dollars, to which Mr. Waller answered, my in round numbers 100 dollars.

Mr. Carr puts an imaginary cue to injure Sir Thomas He mys had the Vixen hera the party that was in jeopardy, dr." The last paragraph could only be proud by some person who had a personal spleen against the Admiral.

If any of you had been called on to act na arbiter, and in consequence of your award been accused of corruption. you would feel what damages ought to be given in the pre- sent case.

The affidavit of Mr. Waller which will be read to you states that he wrote to Mr. Matheson by the direction of Sir Thomas a letter stating the Admiral's desire to pay any remuneration for the services of the vessel which Mr. Matheson might think it and ren- sonable. Mr. Matheson refused any remune- ration, but expressed his willingness to accept any remuneration on the part of the crew he might think proper. When desired to name sum, he said the Admiral may think very different from us," and being desired to name a sum be named 105 dollars. The let ter to Mr. Matheson stated that the schooner had been detained 19 hours in consequence of the service rendered to the Wolf.

Mr. Goddard in addressing the jury for Mr. Carr, mid be felt considerable difficulty in appearing before then in such circumstances. Mr. Carr had been accused of publishing a libel" feloniously, wickedly and maliciously." Mr. Carr he believed kuew very little of Sir Thomas, except as a person holding a high command in them seas. Bir Thomas how- ever in this case did not act as judge. The only Julge of Admiralty here is the Lord Chief Justice. Neither does he accuse him of any thing criminal, or of an offence either in his public or his privata charseter that implied guilt. He never accused him of cor- ruption. He only accusa hirm that he was not so liberal na he ought to be.

A criminal libel has been filed against Mr. Carr. In consequence of the way the ac- cution has been brought, he was put to great expenses, as the Crown pays no coels; and if he succeeda na 1 am sure, or at least 1 for) confident he will, he will still have to pay all his own expenses Besides the case has been deferred from time to time, wherens it might bave been brought on long ago. Sir Thomas might have put himself into the witness bax, and so might Mr. Waller and then we should have had an opportunity of seeing what was right and what was wrong, or it least we should have had an opportunity to cross ex- amine them and of proving that Mr. Mathe- son was not informed of the facia

Mr. Bradshaw, the first officer of the Vixen was on board when the Wolf hoisted signals of distress; his evidence was taken in this court before Commissioner. Mr. Carr did not ferret out the circumstances; they were brought to him by Captain Carr, who com plained of the want of liberality. I need not press on you the necessity of rewarding sea. inen liberally for such services, the live of many often depending upon them. H. Mi. Ships are generally valued at £1000 per gun, the Wolf has 18 gam and may therefore be valued at £18,000, and for mving her 100 Dollars are awarded-If Sir Thomas chose to taken himself the office of fixing the reward, he ought to have taken the strictest care to make himself acquainted with the facts.

Mr. Carr, being that Sir Thomas was about to commencvan accusation agaist him, made every enquiry weder that if he had done wrong he might redress it by making an ample apology; but the more he did anquire. the stronger he found the facts To consti tulo u libel it must be shown that the party in charged with something that is criminal.

Mr. Bradshaw's evidence is to this effect -The Wolf was in great distress, firing guns and having her ensign with the Union down. The Vixen stood in and sent her boat to the Wolf to offer assistance. The Vixen had a large quantity of specie on board. She re- ceived 16 guns and 500 shot, and he consider ed the Wolf would have been in extreme danger had a gale come on.

The Judge here asked "had not this public- alion a tendency to prevent others from giv. ing such assistance-Mr. Goddard said he thought expressly the reverse as it showed much persons their case would be taken up of the press

Mr. Bradshaw's evidence was then read. The Vixen was ordered by the Wolf to come. to an an anchor near her. She had 144,000 Taels of silver on board. Thinks it was in consequence of the relief afforded by her that the Wolf got off. Two vemeia have since been wrecked there. The crew were all dis satisfied with the award-He thinks the ro muneration illiberal, and injurious to other vesela requiring assistance-The crew help- ed to take the guna dec. on board--Witness did so and was unwell in consequence-The account in the Friend of China was not exog- gerated-The Vixon was detniued 24 hours.

A. Matheson, Esq., being called as a witness and sworn, deposed that the Vizen belongs to the firm of Jardine Matheson and Co-He wwarded nothing to the Crew. The Secretary of Sir Thomas Cochrane called and wished him to do so-the Vixen had not then return. ed to Hongkong-Mr. Waller mid the service rendered by her was very slight and the crew were not employed at all-Captain Carr was not satisfied with the award, but did not nuk witness's advice as to the course Le ought to purase-heid the assistance he gave was very important Mr. Waller did not make his statement na upon his own knowledge, bot an whist be understood-Witness thinks that secording to Captain Carr's statement of thin services rendered, 100 Dollars was not suf5- cirnt.

Cross examined by the Attorney-General -saw nothing on the part of Sir Thoms, or Mr. Wallor to lend ním is believe they wished to princat from their offer to give a proper remuneration. When asked to paine sum witnes mid high Government officers were often stingy and he bell-ved Sir Thomas was particularly so of thin public money.

The Attorney General said that Sir Thoma was of necessity diseluarging an office of high Alinisterial duty, as at that time there was no court of Admiralty here.

The judge in mining up the case suid the lib i was divided into two parts—first kateter ment of facta, and secondly a comentary on these facts. The first was paned over. It was for the jury to judge if there was a nocemity first to publish darse factor; secondly was it riecemary to publish this commentary. Had Mr. Carr rested with a statement of the facts, it is probable you would not have been troubled with this prosecution. Sir Thomas was not likely to have brought an action, and he was sure his friend the Attorney-General would not have taken up such a case. Bui this was not the sting of the libel. It is for you to any whether Sir Thomus is charged with corruptias, and if so it is a libel. "lo order that words may constitute a libel, they must charge a man with something criminal; buti

writing whatever tends to bring a uULA into contemplius libel,

The jury after a short consultation return- ed a verdict of "Not guilty.”

Compared with the trade of China, the arrival of a few remola with Camphor is a very trifling affair; but we look upon it as the commence- inent of an extensive traffic.

SITTING OF THE SERE COURT

-

Junk,1845.

A Special Jury was empanneled for the Irial of an action raised at the instance of the Crowo against the Editor of the Friend of China for the publication of the following Article in hise of the 18th July last which was alleged to contain a libel against Sir Thomas Cochrane:--

It will be in the recollection of many of our readers, that Her Majesty's ship Wolf got on a bank somewhere below Woosung, and But for the timely aid of the Schooner Vizen, Capt. Carr, she would have been obliged to crifice her guns and shot before she could have got off The Wolf took the bank at high water, and could not possibly have been floated again without greatly reducing the dead weight on board. When first descried by the Vizes, she, the Wolf, had a signal of diatrem dying, and there can be no doubt that. had it come on to blow whilst she was lying in this critical position, she would have gone to pieces. The Virsa ren alongside, nod look out all her armament, 18 gum and 400,32 lb. shot,and i was not until rellevad of this weight that she again Boated; without this amistance she had no other alternative than to throw her gune overboard, or go to pieces on the bank. This is a clear case of salvage, and before any Admiralty court the sum awarded the Vixen

for her aid would be considerable. At the time the air occurred, Rear Admiral Sir Thomas Cochrane was at Champ, when it was agreed between him and the Captain of the Vizen, that the question of compensation should be left open until Bir Thomas Cochrane returned to this colony. After Sir Thomas's raturn, the owners "generously waived all claims for salvage, merely requesting the Roar Admiral to recompense the Caplain and crew for their trouble, never doubting that, actuat by a spirit of liberally similar to their own, Sir Thomas Cochrane would handsomely re-

war

We are also pleased to hear, thai, a good many of the Parsee Merchants will very short- ly take up their abode on the inland, adding to i prosperity and we think affording themed better facilities for correspondence, and con ducting that part of their business which is done out of Canton, than they now have at Macao. Altogether the prospects of the colony are on couraging, provided our respected rulers will for a lime only refrain from ordinance making and taxation which though they afford amuse ment to them, are death to us.

We copy from the columns of our contem. porary the Hongkong Register, a report of ibe proceeding in the Supreme Court on Monday. The proprietor of this paper, was tried on a criminal information, ubinined from the court at the instance of Rear Admiral Sir Thomas Cochrane, for publishing an alleged, libel on the Rear Admiral, which appeared in the Friend of China last July,

We do not discuss the merits of this case; it is one no purely personal that, fortified by the verdict of an impartial jury, we prefer lay. ing it before the public without comment. Ishow. ever, the writer of this paragraph may be permit ted for a moinent to throw aside the mask which transmografies the undividual into the some what mysterious editorial We, and speak in his own person, he would wish to state, that had an apology in this instance, beon at all consistent with his own fealuge it would have been proffered in an early stage of the proceedings. Every man is presumed to be the best guardian of his own honour, and after a careful enquiry as to the facts and merits of the case, the person who writes this believed most conscientiously that, he could not offer Sit Thomas Cochrane an apology, without com promising the reputation of his paper, and outraging his own feelings; he preferred the alterative of an expensive prosecution, (with which the learned Attorney General bar co- quetted for the last seven months), knowing that in the event of a conviction the conse quences would be disastrous. The matter i how weitled, and he does not hesitate to avoW that, he did not mean to charge Sir Thomas Cochrane with corrupt or disonourable con duct on the contrary, he believes the Rear Admiral incapable of doing anything which would merit such opprobrous epithets. Ad- mitting this, he still retains hus opinion, that in an settling the salvage case between the Schooner Vicen and Her Majesty Ship Wolf, Sir Thomu Cochrane acted aliabbily and showed a great want of judginent.

From the Honghong Register, 3rd June We have given a pretty full account of the pro ceedings in the Supreme Court yemerday Norwith.

the mivor of Her Majesty's ship. In doing this they committed a capital error; he, to whose justice and magnanimity they had entrusted the liquidation of the cinine of the Caplain and crew of the Vixen, could not ap preciate such generous feelings, and taking advantage of the confidence thus misplaced, he offered to award in all $100, in the prapor- tion of 848 for the Captain ; 990 Chief Of- for: 810 Gunner; $1 each for the Craw We need scarcely date that Captain Carr would not take advantage of the Rear Ad- 'miral meanness, and that in this instance Her Majesty's ship has got off scot free." Had the Viren been the party that was in jeopar- dy, and the Wolf rendered her amialance, we would have had the matter settled in a very different manner. Sir Thom's mental op: tics-which at times appear sled up--would have been fully opened to the importance of the service, and if such a question were left In his award, we have not the slightest doubt that the $100 which was sufficient for the Vizes, would have swelled into thousands for the Wolf. We regret exceedingly to police much small actions as the one now mentioned. They injure the dignity of the service not n little; and although no thinking man, would judge unfavorably of those whoso merits have been so often tested, in consequence of the lit- tle minded actions of their present Chief, we are bound to acknowledge that, to the thought. les and ignoruit, such trißes convey an un- favorable, though falee Improsion of the naval

character.

Sir Thomas Cochrane, if we recollect aright, has been a candidate for parliamentary hon. ours; once, at least, he stood for a sea port town, the most influential inhabitants of which are shipowners; should the gallant Admiral ever again seek to distinguish himself in the legislature of his country, wo trust the affair we narrate will be not proclaimed on the hus tings, as we are afraid it would damn him in the oyes of any constituency interested in the mercantile shipping of Great Britain."

The following were the Jurymen on the case Thon. Jones, Esq., Duncan Fletcher, Zaq Angus Fletcher, Esq., F. T. Bush, Eaq. J. Lef Ber. Esq, and George Findlay, Esq.

The Attorney-General in opening the case stated that this was an information on the part of the Qosen to defend the character of Bir Thomas Cochrane, who bad awarded a sum of 100 dollars for services rendered by

claimed that Mr. Carr well knowing the premises took the occasion to vilify the Com mander-in-chief as having seted arbitrarily. haughtily and unjustly, and to state thas when services were rendered to FL M' Bhip no adequate reward would be paid-To this

but lo-day he has added as a farther plen, that charge Mr. Carr at first pleaded "not guilty," all be had stated was true, and published for the benefit of the public. He was aware that whenever there was an allempt to check such objectionable publications there was raised as out-cry that it was for the purpose of curbing the liberty of the prem. The Government here had no wish to do so -

officer discharging the high duty of Admiral, and in this case acting as n judge of the Admiralty is complained of; a partial statement of the facts is brought forward, for if the whole facts had been stated, Sir Thomas Cochrane would have suffered no damage. A person in such circumstances ought not to be so negligent as to publish partial statements.

The Admiral is charged

with gros partiality and corruption as a Judge. You (the jury) will not fail to per crive the motive on the face of the article. Will you ever believe that Bir Thomas was influenced by such motives, and that this was published for the benefit of the public and not to gratify some private foeling against him. It may produce the most prejudicial efect, for if the article is circulated among the mercantile navy here, should another of Her Majesty's Bhips get into similar cir camilances, it would deter them from render- ing their services.

I have nothing to say against the service rendered by the Vixen, taking out guos, shot, &c. This I admit, it was a clear case of salvage. Sir Thomas had no wish to deny this. He said to his Secretary Mr. Waller, "I know nothing of this can; you will call on Mr. Matheson, and learn what he claims," Mr. Waller did call and Mr. Matheson very liberally refused to receive anything. Mr. Waller asked what compensation would be enough for the crew of the Vixen. Mr. Matheson said about 105 dolines, to which Mr. Waller answered, my in round numbers 100 dollars.

The

Mr. Carr puts un imaginary can to injure Sir Thomas He mys had the Vixen been the party that was în jeopardy, dr." last paragraph could only be puned by some person who had a personal spleen sgn the Admiral.

If any of you had been called on to act as arbiter, and in consequence of your award been accused of corruption. you would feel what damages ought to be given in the pre- sent case.

The affidavit of Mr. Waller which will be rend to you states that he wrote to Mr. Matheson by the direction of Sir Thomas letter stating the Admiral's desire to pay any remuneration for the services of the veuel which Mr. Matheson might think it and ren- sonable. Mr. Matheson refused any remune. ration, but expressed his willingness to accept any remuneration on the part of the crew ho might think proper. When desired to name sum, he said the Admiral may think very different from us," and being desired to name a sum

named 105 dollars The let-

ter to Mr. Matheson stated that the schooner had been detained 19 hour in conerquesca of the service rendered to the Wolf

Mr. Goddard in addressing the jury for Mr. Carr, said he felt considerable difficulty in appearing before them in such circumstances. Mr. Carr had been accused of publishing a libel" feloniously, wickedly und maliciously.” Mr. Carr he believed knew very little of Sir Thomas, except as a person holding a high command in these sex Bir Thomas how- ever in this case did not net as a judge. The only judge of Admiralty here in the Lord. Chief Justice. Neither does he accuse him of any thing criminal, or of an offenen either in his public or his private character that implied guilt. He never accused him of cor- ruption. He only accuses him that he was not so liberal na lie ought to be.

A criminal libel has been filed against Mr. Carr. In consequence of the way the ac- cusation has been brought, he was put to great cxpenses, as the Crown pays no conia; wod if be succeedan 1 am sure, or at lenal I feel confident be will, he will still have to pay all his own expehers Besides the case has been deferred from time to time, whereas it might bave been brought on long ago Sir Thoma might have put himself into the witnem box, and so might Mr. Waller and then we should have had an opportunity of seeing what was right and what was wrong, or at least we should have had an opportunity to crom ex- Amine them and of proving that Mr. Muibe- aon was not informed of the facts.

Mr. Bendahaw, the first officer of the Vixen was on board when the Wolf hoisted signals of distrem; his evidence was taken in this court before Commisioner. Mr. Carr did not ferret out the circumstances; they were brought to him by Captain Carr, who com plained of the want of liberality. I need not press on you the necemity of rewarding sea- men liberally for such services, the lives of many often depending upon them. H. M's. Bhips are generally valued at £1000 per gun, the Wolf has 18 gums and may therefore be valued at £18,000, and for ring ber 100 Dollars are awarded--lf Bir Thomas chose to take on himself the office of fixing the reward, he ought to have taken the strictest care to

the Vixen to the Wolf as the full salvage make himself acquainted with the facts.

Mr. Carr, leging that Bir Thomas was #hout to commenc.an accusation ageist him, made every enquiry order that if he had done wrong he might redress it by making an ample apology; but the more he did enquire. the stronger be found the facta To consli tute libel it must be shown that the party in charged with something that is criminal.

Mr. Bradshaw's evidence is to this effect -The Wolf was in great diatrem, firing guns and having her ensign with the Union down. The Vixen stood in and sent her boat to the Wolf to offer assistance. The Vixen had a large quantity of specie on board. She re- ceived 16 guns and 500 shot, and he consider. ed the Wulf would have been in extreme danger had a gale come on.

The Judge liere asked "had not this public- ation a tendency prevent others from giv

ing such assistance-Mr. Goddard mid he thought expressly the reverse as it showed such persons their case would be taken up by the prea

Mr. Bradshaw's evidence was then read. The Vixen was ordered by the Wolf to come to an an anchor near her. She had 144,000 Taals of silver on board. Thinks it was in consequence of the relief afforded by her that the Walf gut off. Two vencls have since been wrecked there. The crew were all dis- satisfied with the award-He thinks the r muneration illiberal, and injurious to other vessels requiring assistance-The crew help- ed to take the guns &c. on board-Witness did so and was unweil in consequence-The account in the Friend of China was not exag gerated-The Vizon was detained 24 hours,

A. Matheson, Esq., being called as a witnem and sworn, deposed that the Vixen belongs to the firm of Jardine Matheson and Ca--He wwarded nothing to the Crew. The Secretary of Sir Thomas Tochrane called and wished him to do so the Vizen had not then return. ed to Hongkong-Mr. Waller said the service rendered by her was very slight and the crew were not employed at nil—Capinin Care was not satisfied with the award, but witness's advice ns to the course he ought to pursue-he said the assistance he gave was very important Mr. Waller did not unke hivstatement na npon his own knowledge, but as what he understood-Winners thinks that according to Captain Care's statement of the Bervices rendered, 100 Dollars was not suff- cient.

Cross examined by the Attorney-General -saw nothing on the part of Sir Thoman, or Mr. Waller to kad ním in believe they wished to retreat from their offer to give à proper remuneration. When asked to namu in sum witower said high Government officers were often stingy and he bell-ved Sir Thomas was particularly so of the public money.

The Attorney General said that Sir Thomas w.n of necessity diselurging an office of high Ministerial duty, na at that time there was no court of Admiralty here.

The judge in summing up the case said the lik i was divided into two parts-fest sainte- ment of fuels, and secondly a commentary on these facts. The first was paned over. It was for the jury to judge if there was a nocemity first to publish these facta; secondly was it decomary to publish this commentary. Had Mr. Care tested with a sintement of the facts, it is probable you would not have been troubled with this prosecution. Bir Thomas was not likely to have brought an action, no he was sure his friend the Attorney-General Bui would not finve taken up such a case. this was not the sting of the libel. It is for you to say whether Sir Thomas is charged with corruption, and if so it is a libel. In order that words may constituren libel, they munt charge a man with something criminal; but in writing whatever tends to bring a tuan into contempt is a libel.

The jury after a short consultation return. ed a verdict of "Not guilty."

With respect to the market for Callon Piece Goods, we may obeerre that the finer qualities of Grey Shirting (40 in. 60 reed and upwards) continuo ia request for expor tation to the Malabar Coast and Persian Gulph, and that the prices of these fabrics hare a slightly upward tendency. Wo hear of a sale on the tat instant of 80 pieces 39 in. 66 reed at Re. 6:10:0 per piere. Other kinds of Grey Longcloths are till noglected. There has been some lule enquiry for the better worts of grey Madapollems. The low and mid leling kinds of grey Jaccones are unsaleable, but fine sorts are still enquired for. Bleached Longcloths are in moderate demand, and prices unchanged: bleached Jacconets excessively dull of sale Small sales of Domestics coniuno tu be made, chiefly of the finer qualities, which are gather better request then before. Other sorts however are still without enquiry.

It was stated that the increase in imports amounted to Rs. 2,337,916, and that in exports to Rs. 2,23,69.412—or in the aggregate upwards of fuur and a half crores of repas. On more careful inapection of the Report we find that owing to the change in the period over which the official grar exunds, the comparison between 1843 44 and 1142-43 is not a very exact one, since al- though both terms comprise an equal space of time, the mouths Included in the one differ from thon embraced by Leo other—the first named year coun ting from the La August 1843 to the 31st July 1844, while the latter began in May 1942, and terminated on the 30th April 1848. 'I'ha change, therefore, has caused a litle confusion, and in some slight degree detracts from the value of the recently published raturna for purposes of comparings. To show to that exent it has operated, we subjoin a note of the value of the total imports and exports from 1st May 1813 to 30th April 1844, contrast-

ed with those for the new official year —

The result of the Calcutta opium sales will be found under the head of " commercial intel- ligence." We notice the large quantity pur chased by Bazaar speculators, and think that

in justice to the bona fale purchaser for ship-

ment, some alteration should be made in the terms of sale. The merchants here send on Inopay with which they bid for drug and clear it at once; the Indian speculators, how- ever, attend and raise the price for the mere purchasers of large parcela, apon which purpose of gambling. They are the nominat they pay a deposit, hoping before the day of clearance arrives to have raised the price so as to realizo a profit; should it fall considerably they forfeit the deposit, and it is again thrown upon the Company. This we look upon as UD- just, and injurious to trade, leading to all sorts of deceptions and desperate gambling; and the sooner the sales are made for prompt cash, the better for the seller and the fair dealer, who comes forward with money and pays for his goods. Some years ago, the Company were "stuck"with many chests, which had been bought would not clear, in consequence of bad new by these gambling, gentleman, but which they from China; another such occurrence will perhaps open their eyes to the objectionable terms of their present sales.

But where is the tropical climate where this not invariably the case, when troops are badly lodged, exposed to the rains and daws, and in addition to this are landed from shipboard in a sickly state? The deaths among civilians last summer were not numerous; and of those who did die, few, or nope, were old stagers.

It is only by allowing the inhabitants to sr- sess themselves, and giving them, through Com missioners, the entire control of that assessment, as well as other taxes, that, with any degree of justice, they can be asked to support the police. If it is left to government, we will probably see❘ the creation of a new office, for one of their idle pets.

While on this subject, we notice another Government Notification of the sale by auction, Yeon, of the exclusive privilege of dealing Betal and Betel Nut. It is really painful to see the ignorance and perversity which is display. ou in this short Notification. They declare this to be a from port: they endeavour to on- courage the native trade (and in this they are certainly sincere) but they do not perceive that Betel, and other articles of straits produce, will be among the chief items of a Junk trade, supposing we succeed in getting one.

We notice the large quantity pur- chased by Bazaar speculators, and think that in justice to the bona fide purchaser for ship- ment, some alteration should be made in the terms of sale. The merchants here send on money with which they bid for the drug sad clear it at once; the Indian speculators, how- exer, attend and raise the price for the mere purpose of gambling. They are the nocuint purchase of large parcels, upon which they pay a deposit, hoping before the day of clearance arrives to have raised the price so as to realize a profit; should it fall considerably they forfeit the deposit, and it is again throw "pon the Company. This we look upon as un- jual, and injurious to trade, leading to all sorts of deceptions and desperate gambling; and the sooner the sales are made for prompt cash, the better for the seller and the fair dealer, who comes forward with money and pays for ha goods. Some years ago, the Company were stuck" with many chests, which had been bought by these gambling gentlemen, but which they would not clear, in consequence of bad new from China: another such occurrence will perhaps open their eyes to the objectionable terms of their present sales.

We do not mean to impane in any degree the rectitude of His Excellency's intentions, but for the reasons wo have now given, as well as from his past mees ures, we don't think that he is the man to levy as sessment, choosing his own servants to value the property asemed, upon which valuation be laya such a per centage as appears to him proper. The scheme in this respect is unsatisfactory. Con- sidering the present position of the colony with little or no trade, also party in China being strongly inimical to it, and the desirability by liberality on the part of the govern- ment, and the protection and encouragement they afford commerce, to draw as many of the foreign merchants, and as many of the Chinese

We cannot es that a larger, or greatly more expensive establishment is required in Hongkong, and we are satisfied that even without the land rent, (to which, however, we are strictly entitled) there would be no great difficulty in raising the necessary funds without any very oppressive assessment We roughly rate the annual rental of Victoria at 400,0000; 31 per cent upon this amouut gives $10,000; the fines in the police court are probably not lem than 83,000; add to these publican and suction licences, suction duty, the tax for re- tailing opium, weighing saltpetre &c. &c. and an ample revenue is available.

The General Hewett bringing the conclusion of the October sales, and the state of the market up to the end of the month, has caused a declension in price on all low descriptions to the extent of 7 per cent, while the batter sora romain at from In Bd. to le, 4d, but do not find a very ready market. Shipping being scarne, his been the means of pre venting purchasers from being over anxious to ac-

cumulate a stock.

There has been an immenso quantity of wet wool received during the week, and it is necessary that the bales should be well examined before shipping. which can only be done by opening thom, as the carriera invariably dry them outside before they reach Sydney. The accidents that have occurred should be sufficient warning to the captains and wners to be careful in cases where sent direct from the interior.

The market having fallen in London, and more goods arriving heue, his effected the exchange, and 6 per cent, discount is readily given for advuares against wools, being an improvement af 24 per cent during the lat six weeks.

The principle cou waded for was so permit schools to be erected in the populous districts, and, if necessary, close to thoes of the Establishment. Af the mme tiine, he wâr thankful for what had been conceded.

We hear nothing of the movements of the squadron now at Penang; there are in all eight penants, Vixt. Agincourt, Cruizer, Dedalus, Yestal and Wolf.

The Rear Admiral, however appears to be hic a Hon with chickens-she is never happy unless they are under her wing,

We regret to hear that there has been a great deal of sicknes on board the Vestal since she left China. At Trincomalee, several of her crew died of a fever, which in ita symptoms re- sembled the yellow fover of the West Indies— among the victims were Mr. Gregory the pur. ser, and the second master.

The Iris arrived from the coast yester. day. It rumoured that the Driver goes north. The Castor, we believe, continues in this port: Captain Graham, in the absence of the Rear Admiral,being in command on the station. The Plover and Young Hebe, will shortly return to the important surveys which are being made | by Captain Collinson c. s.

The respectablo Parsee firin, whose exten. sive premises near Messrs. Dent & Co. are now nearly finished, have determined not to remove to longkang; others, who conter- plated settling here, have changed their minds and remain in Macao, Two English firms within three months have abandoned the island confining their operations to Canton; and of the several new firms established within the past six months, none of them have even an office in Hongkong. In the face of these undeniable facts, we find our penny wise rulers busy in- venting now taxes and importa. Butel and pawn are to be taxed, or made a strict muso- poly, and yet we are told that Hongkong is a Tres port!

BITTING OF THE SUPREME COURT,

13th June, 1845.

An action was brought by Memra. D. und M. Rustomjee and Co. against Mesars. Macvicar and Co. to recover the amount of Insurance upon goods damaged on board the Cormir.

A Jury having been chosen the Allorney-Ge- neral opened the case for the Plaintiffs. He said an Insurance had been eflected on the 10th Oct. 1844, but to commence from the 4th. It was for the rule of 13,600 dollars, and there wara several Policies; In insuring 10,000 the de fanders acted an Agents for parties in Bombay, and 3,600 was for parties in Calcutta. He falt certain that if the Defendants were merely act ing for themselves they would as once pay the sum, but acting for others thay probably thought it necessary to be less liberal. They entered two plena; fiert, the General isous, and second, that the vessel was not worthy, and that the goods were not landed her being damaged.

Previous to the departure of the Corsair from Maceo, she was surveyed by Mr. Rickett, who in Surreyor for the Canton Insurance Office. Hia written opinion states, that she is a staunch now teak veniet. She sailed on the Ist of Oct. for Hongkong, and in coming across the ex- perienced very bad weather. Going out the Lemma pasaga ahn had very course weather, so us to surry away sume of her spara and sails, and the sea muda frequent breaches over ber. Ou her arrival at Woosung, the Opium belong- ing to the Plaintiffs was found inore or less damaged. Notice was given the Defendants that the vessel had been damaged. After this legal police no fault was fund with the vessel. A

correspondence Inllowed about the vessel, and it was doubtful whether it would be better to repair her here, or to send her to India. It was after- wards said the ressel had suffered very soon after leaving the port, within 24 hours. The law on this point as laid down by the celebrated Lord Mansfield is that every ship ensured must be light and strong; She may be injured within 24 hours, and you the Policy remain good. It was aftari warda decided in an appeal case before the House of Lords that if a ship be seaworthy when she sails, though she be injured in the course of one hour the Policy will remain good. The simple question is, was the remel sound when she left the port! If so, I sin entitled to call on you for a verdict, a bin Lordship will tell you. The Captain acted as any intelligant man would do, and he is not liable for any error in judgement. The Policy of Insurance was produced and admitted by the Defendants.

Captain Fraser was called as a witness and worn: declared he is not interested in the re- sult of this ection—he wu maatar of the Corsair in October. She sailed from the Typa on the 99th September, and proceeded to Hongkong for the purpose of getting Chronometers-know the Corsair was in good condition when she left, staunch tight and strong-was seaworthy and insurable. She had been caulked throughout previous to ber depasture. The canikars wora employed' on her for a week. Witness is ac quainted with Mr. Rickett and knows his hand- writing-think the report of Survey shown him is his writing. In sailing to Hongkong they had violent westher. Arrived on the 3d Ŏctober at noon-len at noon of the dib with fine weather - 7 in the evening the breeze began to in- craat 1wo o'clock in the morning of the 5th it blow very strong-at 4 had a fresh gale with a very beary head sen-ihe vessel pitched tilently and strained-made a great deal of water at daylight found they could not reduce the water, and bore up for shelter-anchored in a small bay close to the westward of Tytam

Mr. Lamont deposed that he is a ship builder

who applied to him on the 10th Jang. to look for his brig—she was then lying in this harbor -made a minute examination of ber to see what repairs sho required-she was in a very shaky state about her topsides, an account of stress of weather as witness believas—all the oakum was hanging out of her seams; some of her stanchions and covering boards were split-all the water she made on her voyage must have come from ber upper works-there was no rotten wood in ber, and no more decayed iron than is common for vassels of her ago-knows Mr. McKenzie at East Point he le at present ill and unable to attend the Court-knows his writing-being shown repari, recognises his writing Bud sigúnture.

Cross examined.-Some vessels are fastened with iron and some with copper Teak ships iron-fastened are equal to English oak ships cap- per-fastened her fastenings were in a proper slate whon witness examined her-the heads of the bolu were covered with chunam; this is common in India-this preventa inspection; but proper surreyor could tell by looking at the bolta inside whether they were in a proper state -the repairs cost more than 5,000 bai did not amount to 10,000,-thinks it was-between Ave and seven thousand-the value of the ship would be between 12 and 14,000-very extensiva ra- pairs were required--she was not then in 6t stain to carry perishable cargo-Witness took off all her topside-put enine Iran knees into her- these were recommended by the surveyor—it wu against witness's opinion the surreyor was Captain Lungley-knows him to be a man of ax- perience in naval mettern-hier bottom required no repairs, and wha is now as good as when she left the stocke--her upper works were originally strong-the plank was 9 inches think-roa fastenings are one-fourth stronger than copper- teak vessels ara ganarally fastened with iron- Witness think it was stress of weather that rea. dered the repairs necessary.

Mr. McKenzie's report of the repaire w read, and corroborated Mr. Latant's evidence.

Mr. Houry Foreman deposed that he is com mander of Bohooner-remembers the lat De- cember last at the time was called on by Capt. Fraser to survey his cargo-recognises the re- port he then made, which was road to the Court it recommended 29 chess to be sent to Macro and sold by Auction for the benefit of the con- cerned-Captain Langley's report of this Opium was read-13 chests were rendered wholly use- lean, and 15 much damaged.

Crom examined-when the Corsair urrived at Woosung she had been in heavy weather and must have had two or three feet water in ber hold- veel will make from 6 to 8 inches day.

Mr. Charles Jamieson being sworn declared he is a ship master-went as super-cargo in the Corsair-saw her before she lef Macao, but did mot particularly examine her-thought her a good

resso?—The weather in the Lemma pasangu wan enough to injure a sea worthy ship the sea was beavier than the wind-she shipped a great many sea-thinks the water cuma in forward- believes the vessel suffered no more than any other would be liable to ran into a bay and repaired the Carpenter stopped a leak-Capt. Fraser and wilmes consulted and thought it bet ter to proceed on the voyage-did so on the grounds that she was making no water of any importance.

Crom examined-witness had a salary per month-knew she had water in bar well, but did not know how much.

Mr. Goddard for the Defenders said, the claim that was made upon them to-day, was for the wet. ting of opium on board a vessel that was ensured by his client-They wished to take na technical objections, but to have fair and honorable trial. They did not refuse payment until they Law from the log book how much water the temel was making during the voyage, which led them to believe that she was bot seaworthy. The original application for Insurance was not made till the 10th October, but was made to upply from the 4th the day of her leaving Hooghong.

Alex: Matheson, esq., being sworn deposed that it is customary in time Policies to mate the date on which the risks commences and the

date on which it expires, and that it does not commance from the time of loading. The print ad part of the Policy of Insurance is looked on so a more malter of form, and the written part binding upon the parties-Had he known the vessel and made twenty inches of water, a should have required fresh survey, before he would have granted Policies upon her. To such cases they are always guided by the surveyors In time Policies the premium is paid for the exact period for which the Insurance is affect ed-Witness never before heard of such a claim as that it should reach back to the loading of the goods.

Captain Vaux recollects the Corsair in Oct. last. Ho sailed on the 3d October from Macao and bad a whole sail breeze all the way to Na- moa and nothing like a gala-did not then sen the Corasir-was fira days going toNemos-if his ship had made twenty inches of water in any wind ha thun had, he would bare said she was not f to taka perishable cargo, but these gule are partial-Witness would think there was no gale at that time-between Hongkong and Macao there saldom in any bad weather except lo Typhoon-if vessel made twenty inches bo- tween Maceo and Hongkong should think she required repair-Bhips of that clase that are soa worthy may maka half an inch an hour-There was a very houry gale on the 24th October- after being two daya at Namoa, witam went to Wooring-some speciu was shipped in the Cor air frum Woosung. There was some besitation about doing so-Wliness advised against it, be- Grose bo did not think a ship safe that required a survey, and he thought the Tasurers would not pay if she were lost. A vessel having twenty inches of water in her would not damage a cargo of Opium to any great extant,—if she land three feet she would damage it.

Croes examined. Bhould not have turned back if his vessel had thres feet of water-Opium would suffer serious damage by being long in Water. Bombay opinm in more liable to be damaged than Calcutta.

Captain Mann being sworn declares de is som- mander of a vessel—was at Chusta la October last-has been on the coast for the last six yours -never experianoed a violent gale between Ma-

sao and Hongkong—except in typhoon be not

heard of a violent gule there—has not sosa á gale which should make a vessel take in twenty laches of water-if abe did so, would consider she want. ed some repairs,most likely wanted caulking→→ having a perishable cargo on board would try to discover where a leak was-twenty inches should not damage a cargo—it is usual to have two feet of dunnage-three feet of water would cause damage-baring three feet of water, witness would have put into port to ascertain where the leak wan-it is not an unusual thing for a sharp wassal to make 18 inches a day.

The whole, or very nearly the whole, of the supplies necessary to maintain these seamen i Teloner, are productions of British soil and labor and thia, masational point of view, shows the superiority of nuts a trade toɔ inesely inanufjeturing dommerer.

We are not sufficiently acquainted with the service, to say what are the duties of Commanders of ships of war with reference to the carrying of Maila; but if they are under no obligations to take them, perhaps so far as the interests of this community are involved, they would act kindly in refusing to receive them on board.

BIR HENRY POTTINGZA. Upwards of forty years have passed since young Henry Pottinger, bay of thirteen years of age, left his native country, to seek his fortune in the East. The younger son, only, of an old and honourable family in the north of Iraland, he started in life without those aids of wealth and reak which help ed the early career of some of his most distingula- ad contemporaries. But he bore with him, eren at that immature age, an energy of character which attracted the notice of those who surrounded him, and led to his being early preferred fur dificult duties.

During forty yourn Asia has been the scene of bis services, and of triumphs more or less brilliant and important. Yet although his career, almost from the earliest period of his service, has secured for him the admiration and esteem of his comrades and contemporaries in the East, and the good opint on of Governments at home, it is only his pro coedinge in China have brought his reputation to a climax that his countrymen generally have learnt the real value of his past life. When he was nomi- nated to be our Plenipotentiary there, the publia ge- nerally had only heard of him as one among the eminent men who had contributed to raise the mili- tary character of the Indian army, and to exemplify the importance of our relisticne In the Bast, as af fording school for the formation of negotiators and solicitatatesten.

On Tuesday the 11th, at prep of dawn, the three chief entered the settlement precisely in the way described by the magistrate. It is impossible that either the civil ar aval apthorities could have been so well prepared for this triple attack (as by Captain Robertson's early movement they appear to have been,) if. after the departure of the ngis- trate, Mr Beckham and Lieut. Philpota had not abandoned their profeared contempt for the magia. trates warning. They appear to bave thought it of sufficient importance to communicate it to Capt.

These two lomers canard our party to fall back. firing as they retreated. But perceiving that Kowitti did not follow them, they took their road to the stockade, and entered it leisurely. The party had consisted of 45 soemen and marines.

Hoki pproached the settlement undiscovered, until the reached the chief block-house on for bus the north, where the British flag, so obnoxious to that chief, had been erected. Finding only four okliers there be desired them to surrader, which mee they mustered by firing on his party. Haki fired in return, and the four soldiers wore killed. Hoki, having accomplished his abject, sat down, and he and his party looked the remainder of the morning on the firing below between Pamuku and the British.

The conduct of Heki and Kowitti in both gro- unding their arms, and reating themselves after beaten their first antagonists, and rendering they arms, and resting themselves after they had Pumuku no assistance, most remarkull, as tagands the intentions and military idons of these Chiefs. One consequence of their conduct in this respect was, that the British (soldiers, sailor marines, and armed inhabitants altogether,) became somewhat equal in numbers to Pumuku's party, notwithstanding their loss, have all numbered nearly 200

No wonder the stockare was hually blowo up, when loose powder was thus lying about, and cartridges suficient for such a paltry engagement had not been previously made, or at all avante could not be gol el.

The engagement continued unul about half-past sed, when the nativen hoisted a flag of truce, and ceased firing. Pumuku was killed.

At this time the town was still in our possotrion. The enemy were evidently weary of the contest. Now, therefore, was the time to make terms with the two surviving chiefs, one of whom, fem having ken no part in the engagement, save taking pos session of the chief blockhouse and dagall, being evidently disposed wau amicable arrangement.

After the flag of trace was hoisted, Mr. Hector went down to the stockade to consult with Mr. Beckham and Lieutenant Philpots, They tokl him he must hold the battery and block-house, all night, at every extremity. Mr. Hector promised to do so. and proceeded back to his guns. Half-way he met Ensign Campbell, the soldiers, and all his own people.

It was evacuated accordingly, and the party, with Mr. Hector, once more proceeded

The town was then abandoned, akhough never ken. It was given up ; surrendered at discretion,

without a summons from the enemy to do so.

Annoyed at the termination of the affair, Mr. Hector proceeded on board H. M. S. Hasard, and made a distinct offer to Lieutenant Philpots, then on board, to retake the place with 40 med. No heed was given to the proposal.

Charoola-Manila No. 3 none and greatly want. They are no scarce that many parties baro had recoures to Java Tabuoco. No. 4. are not so well liked, though they have been selling lately, owing to general scarcity.

To complete the absurdities of the day, H H. 8. Hasard, then in command of Lieutenant Philpots, fired on the natives when the latter entered into the town after our people had abandoned it. If it were intended to renew the engagement, why not, after

■ll the woman and children were safely embarkod, go on shore like men and charge the Nativa Once more? If this could not be done, why exasperatel. and increase their vengeanne by firing a fow paltry shout No wonder the Natives, as conquerors, massacred any lenggling Europeans after this geni tuitous insult. The foolish prank was reported the next day! And it took place when many of the inbabitanta were actually ashore, shaking hands and making friends with the natives, to induce them to give up their property. Of course these Europeans were glad to run for their lives when the firing re-commenced, and finally to abandɔn vil hopes of recovering their little property.

On Thursday, the 13th, the beach was lined with canoes, and also with the boats taken from the in- habitants, all of which were loaded with plunder, The Hasard's guns could have cut these boats to pieces. The launch with its big gun could have dose the same. Now are was a sound reason for a renewal of hostilities namely, to get back our own, But it was not done.

COMMERCIAL INTELLES HOL

(From the Bombay Times, May 17.) We beg to recommend to the notion of our reader the report which appears in our present issue, of the proceedings at the recent Meeting of Proprie. tore of the Bank of Wowern India. The resolutions passed were of very considerable importance, will be seen from the statement to which we allud- ed. There is to be a London Board of Directors, which will enable the Institution to avail itself of the benefit of the new Act relative to Joint Stock Companies-the Capital employed is to be double-- and the name of the Bank itself is to be changed, the new appelation being "The Oriental Bank" Generally speaking, we think it a bad plan to alter the names of public Institutions; but in the present case, the change appears necessary if only on the score of mocnrala description, since the Bank, doing busine in Calcutta, Ceylon, and China, as well as in Bombay should hardly continue to be correctly Miled the Bank of Western India. The London Board is to consist of our late Governor, Mr. An. derson, Dr. Kennedy, Colonel Spiller, and other guatlemen well known in Bombay. We may men- tion, that since the Meeting a very considerable rise has taken place in the value of the Stock of the Bank, the shares having been up to 50 per cent. psterday.

"A General Meeting of Proprietors was held in the Bank of Westera India on Thursday the 16th instant-Thomas Robson, Eng in the chair.

The Chairman addressed the Meeting at some length, and referring to the Resolution passed by

Miscellaneous.-Arrack dull at $ per 80 gal- loss. Stook of Coir Cordage in light of good qua lity. Of Gunny Bays there is a moderate stock. They will be very scarce, if shipments of Pepper and Bagar go forward to say extent. Catch is bot Gow imported from Maulmain it would sell here to a small extent, though it would appear to be very high in Maulmain, being quoted at 13 rupees per 100 viss. Sticklac has long been scarce, we no, tice a mall Import during the week. In Cotton nothing doing.

FREIGHTS.-Tonnage

still wanted for Chian.

Tho Teaser will return from Singapore en route to Madras, "The Queen" has arrived from the Clyde and loads Sugars, Pepper and the 6ner Spices for London. The Ans from London and the Mary Elisa, Welcome and Counts of Durham from the Clyde are shortly expected. The Amazon is load. ing for Calcutta, and the Annunchunder may likely be taken up for China. The Hector goes to the Coax for Batein.

There is much difference of opinion, as to whether the man deserved death. Those who believe, that he tied his victim with the full in.

Others again, think with us-though it is only fair to say they are the minority-that Ingwood tied the hands of his victim with the sole intention of taking kum back to the Lorcha, and that the throwing him overboard, was a inere act of impulse, and they are of opinion, that the prerogative of entrusted, merey, with which His Excellency

The last number of the Organ contains a Jesuitically written article on the state of local affairs, intended to be apologetic of the su pinences of the government, and in some degroo commendatory of their exertions in behalf of the colony. We have no wish to refer to old grievances, but it is proper that the truth should be known, and if our rulers are so lost to all wense of modesty, a to permit their Organ to palm off such trash as truth, we flad it our duty to point out the falsity of his statements. The Organ says, that without better proof than mere simption, or newspaper assertion of opinion, he cannot see that they (the government) can be justly charged with being inimical to the intercourse of native traders with Hongkong, We are well aware that the inere ipse dirit of the press is not always to be taken for truth -wo think some recent occurrences in Hong- kong have satisfied the public of this fact-but the unanimous opinion of community and the equally unanimous voice of the press, with the exception of a hirting Organ-who plays the tune set before him by his Mastery is certainly entitled to some weight, and fortunately it has some weight, as is proved by its over having aroused the sluggish apathy of our rulers.

The Organ has twice referred exultingly to arrangements made, or making, for the disposal of building sites to the merchants of Chin-Chow,

Tuxen, once did, the twelve Junks with their crews, John Horton, Cunningham, bere, and if our rulers continued to act as they John Barry, Hari, would have been banded over to the tender Joe Corine, Dring, meroy of the worthy Mandarin of Cowloon, Our, Phillipa, Laurick, White, rulers now decline ising Junks not having Julie, Brusewitz, (Swede) passes, and we give them credit for it. Of the Lady Bute, McKinlay, twelve Junks, mine are from Canton bound to Ningpo, another from the same place to the Gulf of Peche-lo, one from Singapore, and one from Amoy bound to Formom. Open your eyes to the truth Mr. Mail, view the supplementary all its deformity. If you are still in- treaty credulous apply to the Consul at Cantoo for a copy of the circular latoly issued to the Mer- chants of that port on this point. He is no ignorant quack; but a clear headed officer of the Crown, intimately acquainted with com mercial affairs; read what he says and believe. When it can be done conscientiously, no one the messures of the Incal government than the will more cheerfully give his approbation to bumble writor of this paper; but he must first see those good measures developed--ho must see full operation. If our rulers are satis- them Bed that they commenced governing on a bad Younge Quens, M1Nally, system, they deserve credit for changing that system, but any fulsome praise for the past is contemptible, and insulting to the community, Box, deeply regretted by many friends. who have been sufferers from the mistaken policy of those who are here to protect them.

In permitting Junks to enter the harbour without restraint, we have noe proof of ■ batter policy and we do not doubt that when this becomes generally known, many other Junks will visit us, though they may be obliged by the restrictive clauses of the supplementary treaty, to do so without the stipulated licence from the authorities of the five ports. They may clear out from Canton to Ningpo, or from Amoy to Formoss, and make Hongkong an in- termodiste port, though by doing this they violate the laws of China. If the govorament adopt ju- dicious measures, a local traffic will soon spring up, and with a large influx of respectable native merchant, the prosperity of the colony will be pormanently fixed. An abrogation ul the restrictive clauses ought however to be insist ed upon, the Chinese have taken advantage of them in a manner that was not forssen noi in- tended, and we trust that British influence is yel sufficiently powerful to obtain their repeal.

We really were in hopes, that the opiam farm would have been placed in abeyance for at least a couple of years, or until the colony had been established. It is evident that refined opium, in smaller quantities than one chest, would have been one of the articles suited to the Junk trade, and the obtaining it on reasonable terms would hava bes. an in- ducement to come here. But by making it monopoly, and by placing that donopoly in the bands of an unprincipled Chinaman, the ro venue may be helped in a triffling degree, but the colony will suffer ten fold.

but with us, and when the Booloos, half a century ago, treacherously drove us from Belambangan, it was this people who afforded us an saylum and who proferred una millement on the river of Borneo and the laland of Kabran, which we accepted for on. The present period it may here be no ticed, in for thousand good reasons which will occur to a stalosman and merobant, a more favo rable one than any former for the success of such an establishment. Were, for example, a post in all respects similar to Singapore formed on the leland of Labona already mentioned, and which possesses a fine barbour, now sources of trade and wealth would be opened to us, which under existing el cumstances we cannot reach or command. Such port would immediately attract the Chinese trade of Borneo and Sooloo, amounting even under the native government, to fifteen junks a year, and in salus, to judge from a similar tradic, to not lose in exports than 801 900,000 dollars. Through traffic, we should have an intercourse with those wealthy provinces of China with which so European na tim has at pressal a direct communication. Such

part would secure to us an easy intercourse with Tonquis, Cochin China and Kamboja all the year through, and the usual periodical trade with Siam, an intercourse with which (Singapore being to the wat and new possession to the east) would be secure to us in every season. From port so situated the easiest and cheapest means would be afforded of supplying the whole northern portion of Borneo, the Souloo, and Philippine Island, with our manufactures, and ducts of these countries

In religious feelings the savages of Borneo are eminently deficient. They have no decent system of religious belief; no God-pc idols-no prieau -no temples or other places of worship. They bave, notwithstanding, very many superstitions: paying great attention to good and bad omens and especially to the ery of the birds; in all rude and early stages of society, a frequent unes of con- sulting futurity.

None of the native tribes of Borneo have any knowledge of an alphabes, nor any other mcaba by visible signs of permanently recording their ideas. This must be considered as a singular fact, since

all the other great islands have each one or more alphabet, and it points at once to some ustural in- feriority in the country itself; thus operating so remarkably in retarding civilization. This inferiori ty will probably be found chiefly to consist in the comparative sterility of a primaire coually abound ing in minerals, and in that discouragement of foreign and internal civilization which are the Becessary consequence even of the physical con. figuration of a country which like the equally bar barous continent of Africa, is of compact and un.

It may here be resparked that the number of Chinese junks in the habit of yearly visiting the Sooloos was seldom less than six and often exceeded eight, coming from the same poris bone which frequented Borneo. Within the last three years this much of trade also has been interrupted on account of a quarrel between the Spaniards and the people of Boulon

The intercourse between Borneo and Menila was at one period very brisk, but in lato years has Bomen boats chiefly conducted it, and under fa also, in great measure been interrupted, The vourable circumstances, the voyage from the ons placa to the other did not exceed seven daya.

Sir Henry Pottinger continues to receive testimonials of the public favor, for his services in China. He has been presented with the Faize Rabanit, Ireedom of the cities of Edinburgh and of Glas- Victoria, gow. The latter city gave him a dinner, which General Wood, for do was attended by three hundred people, a very Glasg

for do. small party, considering that in the same city Ed (Am. 8tm.) for do. nearly three thousand sat down to a similar banquet in honour of Sir Robert Peel. Sir T Henry was also requested to stand as a can- didate for the representation in parliament the town of Greenock, an bonour which he declined. Greenock is one of the may places for which the gallant Rear Admiral on this sta tion was an unsuccessful candidate; he will probably regret that absence and professional services have prevented his again soliciting the suffrages of the electors.

THE FIND GJ CHINA AND HONGKONG GAZETIF,

Excellency wishes for local fame by supposing that the Colonists will think upon bim when they smoke their tobacco, he will be disappointed, as the ordinance will not affect the great bulk of them. It refers to selling Segars in smaller quantities than 1,000; most Gentlemen do pur- chave their Segars by the thousand, so that the las will fall upon the poorer class of Europeans, Builurs on liberty, who will undoubetly bestow their benedictions freely upon those who proposed it.

Dance for licensing public houses and for re. gulung the retail of formented and spintuous Tiquors in che colony of Hongkong." amendment is simply an increase of the licence form $50 to $100.

VICTORIA, WEDNESDAY, JULY 2320, 1813.

THE FRIEND OF CHINA AND HONGKONG GAZETTE,

the Hon. Mr. Bruce will be Captain Mundy's guest during the cruise, trying by a change of air to regain his health. There are few if any, in the colony who will not be glad to e him return and resume his official duties.

The Lenes from Boston brings dates to the 5th of April. By this, nor by the previous arrival from Now York, bave we received our usual files of American papers. Our con temporary of the Reginer bar, however, boon more fortunate, and from him we lean that some of the vessels from China to America had made very fue passages; the Natchez 79. Howqua 90, Montaak 93, Ann Mooki 94. Grafton 06, Oneida and Zenobia 100 and George Hallet 101 days. The state of the les market was good, several saics of large parools having been made by suction at full prices.

The Lenar has brought a cargo of Ics, which will be landed in a few days, and stored in the house prepared for it. We understand that the leo has arrived in fine order, and do not doubt that the inhabitants will readily avail themselves of so great a comfort in this sultry climate.

The Ship Hyderabad from Sydney to Cal cutta with cargo of 150 horses was totally wrecked in Torres Straits. The vessel bad, asis usual, hove to at night, being according to her reckoning close on the grand barrier reef. In the morning, she had drifted to lee-ward of the entrance the intended to take, and with a light wind and a strong current she could pot beat back. In attempting another of the numerous passages through the barrier she struck. There was no chance of saving any thing. The Cupanin in the long boat with twenty five men succeeded in reaching port Eington, The Chief officer (since arrived here) with passengers, including several ladies, in the other boats reached "Booby Island in six and a half days; there they were found by H. M. B. Fly and carried to Singapore.

We have not yet received any of our own overland papers of the 7th of May. Our exira, however, of Saturday, contains the chief items of information, political and mercantile.

In the precis of miscellaneous events wo read of a sad accident at Yarmouth on the 2nd of May, by which it appears that upwards of 100 lives were lost. Nelson, the clown at Cook's circus, had undertaken to swim in a tub, drawn by four geese from the draw bridge on the quay to the suspension bridge across the North river. A dense crowd hid collected on

both banks of the river to witness the feat. The river is crossed by a muspension bridge, on ap- Prosching which in his tub,the crowd rushed on the bridge in large numbers to view the strange navigation. A low of the suspension rods were on to give way, and the alarm was given: but on fate. The chains broke and one side of the bridge fall, plunging from 800 to 600 people into the river. By the latest account 118, bodies had been found,but it was feared the num. ber drowned would aol' full much short of 140. Captain Fitzroy has been recalled from another to the long list of Colonial Governors, New Zealand. The gallant Captain muds who acting 100 much upon advios from the Colonial office, or too anxious to curry favor with the home government, have sacrificed local interest. "Past history-if Governom would only study it shows that whatever may

It is said that after visiting Burned, the squadron will render ous in this harbour, and the small vessels be seal to the various ports of China, sarvion for which they were intended. The safety of the foreign residents, and the interests of com:nerce ulike require that a man-of-war should be kept at each of these ports. This is also a duty we have engaged to perform by our treaty with China, and the neglect, to do so, is not alone sacrifice of the interest of our country, but it is alsu an infraction of a solomo national compact. Among our extracts will be found the parti. culars of the hurried departure of the fleet from Pinang.

we apprehend, that most Gentlemen in his and internal ware, which have long distracted a couple of days notice, quite compatible Mexico, and wasted her resources, she is now with the dignity of the service and an observat little able to carry her arms into another country. Indeed, har delaying the attempt to anco of those courtesies which render life

rescue her territory of Texas, from the land pleasant,

pirates, who hoist a anticual flag, sufficiently shows that she is aware of her own weakon. In the meantime, the government of Washing- ton has despatched an Agent to Mexico, to at tempt a renewal of diploinatic negotiations.

It is still uncertain whether a majority of the people of Texas are favorable to annexation. The American papers published in the Bonth, amort that the Texians are favorable to this measure; though considering that the Southern states will mainly benefit by it, statements pur forth by them will be received with caution.

We have advices from several of the trading ports of Chins, but they all represent the mar. kets as being extremely dull for imports, and long prices asked for articles of export.

At Canton on the 12th lastani, there wAD no demand for imported goods of any descrip- tion. Grey shirting lately sold at 89. 10 couts duty paid, are now valued at $1. 96. if pushed forward. There is still great competition for the new Congous, though the market was somewhat quieter at the date of car letter. Bome chopa "had been escured at as muchí ina 45 imel This is a couple of taels higher than the extremo rates of last season.

Oo the 80th of June, at Shanghai, the Junk people were buyers of piece goods froen second hands for less than they could gat similar goods from linporters. The monied native speculators, however, held out for price, and did not appear inclined to press their stocks on the market. Musters of the new Congous had been received, and soine sold at from 883 to 40 taels long. Of the ten itself not many chops had come for- ward. The new crop of raw silk was also in the market, though no transactions are report.

We have received the prospectus of a "Coasting Steam Navigation Company," which

buyers will give, for Taalton, $400 or even more. At Seochow, there was little demand for goods and prices low; good grey shirtings were quoted at #2. 90.

For instance, at present. opum pays a duty of 350 guldeos per chist, whatever may be the value, toust be booded, and cnonot be sold unless to the prepared opium farm, which is for the whole Residenen, Might not the trade in opium, unless in smaller quantities, be upened, and separate farins established wherever the Eumpean power in puraimount? It is true that the farms might fall; but the duty on opium would be increased, and a small transit duty on the introduction if it in the interior would be equira- ! lent to the paltry gain now derived from the prepared opium, which is sent to those places which are not actually under the control of Qu: vernment. Formerly similar measures would have been considered injurious to the revenue, but at the present day, experience shewn that such Views are erroneous; and that a decrease of duly on any particular branch of trade, increases [14] the avenue derived from it, and preventa [15] smuggling, upon which beary duties net Premium The writer is confident that such an approximation to free ade ne he has suggested would promote commerce and increase the revenue Under this arrangement the increase of Lade would give a new impetus to the industry of the Daya and when the more Bourishing mate of the revenue permits the use of her means that com merce for their civilization, some portion might be devoted to the purchase of foreign articles in requist among them, to be given in consideration of their opening roads through the Residency of nmploying their calea tine ou works of publie undity. By this, the taste, for these articles would. be increased, their industry excited, and the me ourers of the country better developed.

It is generally believed to be impossible to keep anything quiet in Ping, but the Admiral succeeded wonderfully In concealing his movements; a rumour was current the evening he miled that be would not leave until the following Thunday, a Captain and many of the Officers of the feet were on shore at the time the vessels were getting under weigh, a party had been invited to dine on board the Vizen, but at the mo ment diner was announced the Admiral's signal was observed. The confusion then became general Visters on board, ladies as well as gendomen, bur- tied down the side of the vessel somewhat irritated and not the low oxcited from having left with y keen appetito-officers enjoying on evering side along the northern road changed their course with all speed townwands—many of the youngsters of the Gun-room were unceremoniouly disturbed visiting some youthful, warm hearted and sweet tempered fir friend of whom they were compelled to take a hasty leave-not, however forgetting to recipio: rate ipses mingled with tears and expressions of everlasung friendship, and mount horse and gal dop helter-skelter to the Jeny.

Like the French of lower Canada, the descendants of the Dutch inhabitants of the Cape at time it was captured, appear never to have got reconciled to their English rulers.

Even in the United States of Anse pica the descendants of old Datch families rotain a respect for fatherland, though they have so long ceased to have any connection with it, or oxon (with a few exception) to speak the language.

CHINA.

The colony of Hongkong has recently been the theatre of considerable excitement. The Goter- nor (Mr. Davis), who returned on the 15th of Oc. tober, from his "tour of inspection to the northera pots appears, soon after his arrival, to have er dered the pallication of an ordinance providing foe the registration of the inhabitants, which had been passed so far back as the 21st of August previous, and which was proposed to come into operation on the lat of November. The appearance of this document was greated with universal disapproba tion, and threw all langkong into a ferment. The regulations contained in it were chiefly for the registration, every year, of all persons Fosiding in the colony, European and Chioso alike, and for the deportation of bad charactors, if any such ware fund. But as a somewhat heavy tax was imposed an the people to meet the expense of carrying out this plan, and as most extraordinary inquisitoria! power-calculated to prove personally distastefal in the highest degree-was lodged in 'be hands of the registrar, who was empowered to institute in- quiries in the family concerns and private previu if every resident, it was not surprising that age- a:ral feeling of disgust should be created by im

If wo had not a single colony we should still require to bave such military and maritione stations spread over the world. As it is, some of our colonies (n for example the Cape of Good Hope and Nura Scolin were originally occupied a military and naval station The expense of the military and naval establishments in the colonics is to be carried to the account of our whole fureign commerce, as we shall immediately show. A good part of it the whole expenaliture for New South Wales and Van Diemen's Land, or stated in the latest return →ought to be entered in the national accounts, not under the head colonies." but under the bead "secondary publishments," or "prmal establishment." The comparative amount and value of different branches of our foreign commerce may best be timated approximatively from a comparison of the tonnage of the shipping employed in each. Our commerce may be classified a trade with the Medi- terranean, the Atlantic, the Baltic, the Pacific, the lodian Croan, and the China Seas. We have colonies and dependencies in the Mediterranean, the Atlantic, the Indian Ocean, the l'acile, and the China Seos. Let us see what proportion the raw of our puseratione in each of these districts beat with the amount of the trade, to the protes tion of which it contributes Nos nne of our pos. pemtions in the Mediterranean aro colonice: the trade which they are instrumental in protecting is that with the colonies entirely within the basin of the Mediterranean and Black Seas, and half the and for the development of the empire's territoriaĺ

By sundaring the colonial news, America has incurred the expense of its own wory, army (small though it be), and diplomatic staff, in addi- on to ours; and Great Britain has incurred the ad ditional expense of ita diplomatic staff in the United States, and that part of its army and navy which has been renderal necessary by the United States having become an independent, and at times har tile, slate. Great Britain and Ameries may have gained in some respuels by their separation-wo have our doula whether either of them have gained thereby on the whole-but the expenditure for na- tional defeucu and the defence of their commerce has been immensely increased.

This act was illegal, neud a direct as one we to ourselves, to oppose this imposition violation of the constitution. It was repudiated in the most determined numer by some of those people who framed it--an- nihilated by the power that called it into being but the spirit is still alivo, and may be traced it in every step taken by this government since that memorable affair.

The prospectus of the "Chinese Coating Bicam Navigation Company," which we now publish, has already been laid before the great bulk of our readers, many of whom are better able to decide as to the correctners of the es We do not therefore enter into the details, further than to say, that wo do not see how it is possible for astean vessel of 330 tons, to carry fuel for a coasting voyage to Banghai and the intermediate ports with 180 tons of goods at the same time.

That this Company would confer great benefits upon the foreign commerce of Chion generally, and upon Hongkong especially, we are well satisfied, and would therefore rejoice In seo it in activo operation. As a specula Lion, we question whether it would be remune- rative, at least for some years. Were it possi- jule to obtain the support of the linuses chiefly engaged in the opium trade; touching at the ifferent stations with supplies the passage up, and again for specie on the passage down, it would certainly be profitable. This, how pver, could not be done. The clippers built for the trade, though sailed at a great expence, are pot fit for any other, and their owners, the inore especially that it checks competition, will keep them running, though the Steaua venels would take their opium on freight at lower Fatea than their own vessels can carry it. The lea of carrying 180 tons of bale, or gruff goods we hold to be quite falacious, even if they of fered; but they would not offer every nine joys.

Among our extracts, will be found a very sensible article from the Colonial Gasette of the 5th April, on the colonisation of the istaode of the Indian Archipelago by the various maritime powers of Europe. In addition to the Spanish colony on the island of Lucopia, the Dutch colonics of Banda and Amboina, their settle ments at Macamar on the Celebes, and on the south east coast of Borneo, the French govern. muut are about to colonise the island of Basilan, one of the Booloo group; and we trust, Great Britain at ne distant day will huist her flag on |

THE PROPERTY TAX.

+

As was anticipated, the tax raters are putting a value upon house rent which cannot fail to gratify their employers. The nominal rental

put upon house property is from 25 to 75 per cent per annum past the cost. We hear a great many complaints of course; and truly it is not unreasonable that parties should complain, aut only of buing taxed illegally, but at being taxed after this reckless fa-hion. One house which is rented at 1,200 por supuin, is rated at $2,500; others (small tenements) which cod $400 in building are to be taxed at the mode- rate rental of $300 per annum. Somebody

For this reason alone it would be desirable that Europeau cuionics should be multiplied on the Amatic Archipelago. We shall rejoice to see new British colonics added to Pinang, Malacca, Singa jore, and Hongkong, and shall look without wlousy on a corresponding extension of Dutch, Byanish, and Portuguese colupiantion. But there is another and equally important advantage to be derived from the increase of European soitlements, in these regions.

The English and French commission have made arrangements the suppression of slavery, though the par olars have not been made public, until they receive the sanction of both governments.

Spain and Portugal are quiet. The Spanish Cortes were to be prorogued on the 23th when the Queen would proceed in Barcelona. The conteinplated marriage between Queen Labella and Count Trapani is said to be unpopular, and not much desired by the Prince himself. In consequence of this, the negotiation has tormi nated.

The goverdinents of the new world offer an unpleasant contrast to their elder brethren of Europe. The United States, Mexico, and Texas, are all in a state of turmoil. In the state, Oregon, and the annexation of Texas, are the grand subjects of discussion, and it is very dif ficult to tell how these matters will terminale. That the bulk of the people are favorable to the forcible occupation of Oregon, and the annexu tion of Texas, is very evident, and if both these questionable steps can be taken at less risk than a war with England, Texas and Oregon will both be joined to the Union in less than twelve months. It is not probable that America will proceed to actual warlare with Grant Britain on the Oregna_question, so long as the latter country has no European wars on hand, we therefore think, that though Amor as has ance refused to leave the question to arbitra tion, she will yet propose that fair and Chris- tian-like mode of settlement, 'This is the more probable, that it will meet the approbation of the most respectable part of the community. Again, it is difficult to tell how far Mr. Palk may consider himself bound to stand by the de- claration made in his inaugural address and demand nothing less that the complete abau- dontent of the claims of Great Britain to the Sovereignty of Oregon. Fortified by a maju rity of the people, who shout for war and no concession; fortified also by a majority in Con- gress, he may culomit his county to such an extent that war will become a point of honour. Nothing, however, can be done before the meeting of Congress in December we believe and in the meantime, the government, as well the people, will have time to think coolly over a question, which in our humble opinion, to America is one of the very greatest impor

tance.

Mexico has declared all treaties with the United States at an end; She has closed her parts against American vesels and forbidden the use of their goods, Mr. Shunnon the c- creditated representative of the United States -bas retired to a small town about a league from the city, preparatory to leaving the re- public. Nothing is yet known, as to the moa. sures the Mexicans will adopt. The Gover. ment have called upon the people to co-operate, and support the President in defence of the right and honour of the nation. Various ru. Inoar's are in circulation. One report is, that a mera recognition of the independence of Texas, would not lead to war with America; but that annexation would. Another report says that England has signed a treaty with, Texas containing stipulations to protect that country from invasion.

It is notorious to us all, that the colony is in a less prosperus cudition than it was a year ago; nor until there is a complete change in the present system of ruling, is there the sightest chance of improvement.

We cannot help thinking that her Majesty's gore, inentin bestowing such unlimited powers upon Mr. Davis, has acted unkindly towards that Gemile- man. Had he been aided and controlled by Legislative Council,including a fair proportion of the most intelligent members of the community, those unfortunate ordinances, which have been > fatal to the colony, and so fatal to his own reputation as a Governor, would never have passed the Council. We would not have the Registration act in its original deformity re- corded among our statutes; neither would we have had the sanguinary branding and moti lating act" nor the illegal property tax. la anticipation of a change in the form of govern- mont, wo most earnestly trust, that a check will be put on the Executive, by the infusion of the spirit of representation into the Legislativo Co- uncil, in the shape of Members independent of government.

If our rulers are under the impression that, we are not laxed to as great an extent as the inhabitants of other British colonies-setting the property tax aside altogether-we beg to inform them that they are in error. Indivi dually the European inhabitants of Honghong are more heavily taxed than the people of Eng- land; and this governmeal in proportion to the number of the governed, is the most expensive, as well as the mos inefficient of all the British colonies. We instance a few of the American colonies with repre entative institutions. Prince Edwards Laland has a population of forty even thousand people; it is well governed at an expones of £19.500 a year.

While on this subject we would correct an error in our last issue. We then stated that a houso actually rooted/at $1,200 was assessed at $2,500. The house in question is rented at pro$1,140 and is assessed at $3,100. Other houses-among them this office—is assessed on an annual rental of 20 per cent more than the building cost.

It is vain to talk of encouraging Chinese mor- chants to settle on the island, so long as the present squeezing system is in aperation. Our government bears too strong a resemblance to their own, to offer any inducement to bring them here. But give us in reality that which we have in name, an English constitutional go. vorninest-and we will soon have an abun- dance of native merchants settled on the Island.

The Harbour Mastur has obliged us with the following letter from Captain Payne of the "Spy" to the Editor of tho Singapore Free Press, which reters to the wrecks in Torros

Zland. On the 24th of March, 1844, Unvernor Fitzroy said, at a meeting of native chiefs: The child reason why Goverment interfered with your sell ng land, was to prevent Europeans from baylig great quantities at once from you be foro you knew the value of it." Lord Stanley, in his reply to the despitel which conveyed a report of this speech, saya 1-1 entertain no doubt that the origius intention of that provision in the to old sit bed on onay turns from the native tribes. treaty was tionable the Crown, as ante purclarar, And Lock Stanley, after thus unequivocally intimat ing that bo and the invernor meant the Invaly to operate in a manner directly dia reverse of what they tell the natives they believe it will operate gues un tu say :—“] must confess, although ruly approve of the spirit in winch your internarss with the natives has been ounceived and carried on, it appears to me that, in your conferuare of the 20th of March, you enforced more than was requir- ed, the exution as to disposing lighly of their proparty.” In vulgar English :--"aly dear fellow, you have humbugged these natives gloriously; but on that one occasion you laid it on a little wo thick." Will Cord Stanley's success in this dicat attempt to wash kis dirty linen encourage him to repeat the experiment He has ennagh of soiled and aud led pieces on hand that are much in need of clean. ing. For example:-The South Australian say that he has swindled them out of the porches money of their lande by refusing the immigration, which was part of their bargain. Should not Lord Stanley send flown Mr. Elupeta the House of Con- mona to rove that he lo no swindles? Or, sino cleanliness is the order of the day, ought not other minbers of the Colonial-office tu at bout washing their dirty lion too? Mr. Stephen underlion pretty direct charge of mendacity from the Direct- one of the New Zealand Company: he ought to Bet about his ablutions next. Indeed all the dra wess and presses of the Coloni-office are so fall of dirty hen, the sooner it he what the the hy busewives of Scotland call “book-wasblog" (Query, bulk-washing?] the better.

Since our last sie, we hear of aushing that will alford material for a paragraph; and we warcely require to make au apology for ap. pearing with less than our usual'supply of ori ginal matter.

A contemporary notices the arrival of a Junk from Foo-chow-foo with an cargo of tean; we also hear of soveral Junks, from Chin-Chow, being now in the harbour in quest of rice, and another Junk, we observe from the shipping list, has arrived from Singapore.

We hope le day is not far distant when the arrival of Lireo or four Junks will not be a matter of im portance, and congratulation among those who feel an interest in the welfare of the colony. Among the many foolish actions of this goveni. ment, they deserve credit for a degree of com. mon else, in so far, as they put no restrictione upon native vessole visiting the port. This may be the only laurel they will bear with Ethein from Chins, and they should chorish the exotic, as it will be a thing upon which the eye can rest with pleasure in reviewing the dreary Sils of stupid and ridiculious ordinances which have emonated from their collective wisdom.

FATAL DUEL-The evidenca given by Alra. Flawkey of the inquest of the body of the late Alr. J. A. Beton, who died of a wound received in a duel with Linut: Hawkey, throws some additional light on the ciscumstances which led to ikit melancholy affair. Men Lowkey, having recounted numerous visits paid her by the decrasail in the absence of her bushand, anid—I saw Mr. Beton on the Monday, at the foirés (at the King's Alooms), where he pre- sented mo with a bouquet of beautiful flowers, for which wy hoabond thanked him. On the following Monday Mr. 11awkey was at drill, when Mr Bolon called, nod said, “It's no uae humbugging with you Any longer--do you mean to give me me an oppori tunity or nut 7" He said he knew Mı. Elawkey to be a quarrelsome fellow, and said he know he should hot go out on the Common for nothing. Eto mid, if he gained his point, he would not mind it. I can mot tell the dato. A knock at the door occurred m the time Mr. Seton was talking to me, when he ex- claimed, “Good Glod, here's lawkeye ran to the table for lie bat, and said, “Can't you let me out " It was not Mr. Hawkey who came in at that time, but Mr. Pym. On that afternoon my husband asked me if Mr. Beton had annoyed mo. sering me depressed. On the next occasion of my seeing Mr. Beton he offered me something in his hand which I could not see, and said, if I did not 'accept what he offered me, he should not have say úe upon me. He said. "Perhaps you do not think it sudiciently valuable." I told him not to insult me any more by such offers. He mentoned the name of Lord Cardigan, and said, "Place yourself in the position of (some one whom I do not know) and the Colonel of our rigimem;" and added, that he had given that person 1,8001, worth of jewellery, and further said "Would that be any inducement to you said, "No." Then he said, "If those are your ideas, a man kne no chance." I remous. trated with him about his being a married man, when he said, "I don't care about her, nor she about me; we both please ourselves" I forgel whether I did not mention this to my husband when ho came in. I told Mr. Pym. I told Mr. Seton if he persisted in that conduct, I should go home (meaning to my mother's, at Rochester). He (Mt. Seton) said, "1 wish you would; it's all on my road to Madalona." I know my husband was very "tenciaus,, and therefore I did not tell him. I afterwards saw Mr. Seton at my house, when Mrs Suton was gone to London. There was a wire on that evening to which I went. Mr. Seton was thoro, aad said to me he was very unhappy, and if noth ing else would make me like him, sympathy ought, I did not know my husband was acquainted with Mr. Beton's attentions to me until the Bunday pro ceding the day on which the dool was fought" when he said he had something to my to me. I went to Anglesey with my husband in the afternoon (Bun. day), when he told me he was very angry at my not telling him what I told Mr. Pym, and said it 1 would tell him alt, he would not take any notice of it. I consequently told him several things about Mr. Seton's conduct towards me. Elo did not say mech to me, and did not seem at all pleased, and weal to Me- Pym. On the day following (Munday, the 10th of May) I met Mr Beton, when I was walking with any busband; 1 bowed to him, and he offered to speak to me, but my husband would not tot him. I afterwards saw Mr. Seton at the sorel on the evening of the day. A week before that a had promised to dance with Me. Boson, and on tho abore evening Mr. Seton wished me to full my promise. Ioid II could not. Ho said, "Then it must be Hawkey's fault," and he should seek an explanation. I replied, he (moy basband) would Ive him one. I went aber de her he said and asked him what I should do; when he t night danos a quadrills. I did accordingly, dance one quadrille. Mr. Botan said, “Whetever your hanbad does to me, 1 shall not go out with kunil'a quite impossibls a light cavalry man can ever mix himself up with an infantry man.”. Aber dancing that quadrille with Mr. Seton, I sat dowa, when my husband came and wished to sit down by me; but Mr. Beton would ant more, when my husband said to him, "should like to have a few private worde with you" when Mr. Beton said. "An explanation I have long wished." They went into a private room; and on his coming out, Mr. Beton asked me to take his arm, and said, "For God's sake settle this matter, or there will be such an exposure." I then went home with Mr. Pym, a friend of my hus band. On the occasion of mentioning about the 1,000 worth of jewels, Mr. Setos never took hold of me. He mid he should like to drive me in a cab in London, and asked me if there was any chances of such a thing. My object in not telling my bus- band was because I was afraid of the consequences, When say husband gave me permission to dance with Mr. Seton itwas distinctly understood i was not to dance a palke, only a gondrille.

We fear that this memorial will not produce the desired effect. In the firm place, it is a fatal error, memorialising Lord Stanley. If any one member of the Government, has advised or actioned the taxation system, and the other rumous steps taken by the local Executive, he is the man.

The most serious part of the charge brought forward by the Hongkong correspondent-fer it is charge however loosely worded-is the neglect on the part of the Commander in Chief to provide suitable lospital.

THE RIGHT HONORABLE

LORD STANLEY

J. M. PRINCIPAL ABCRETARY OF STATE FOR THE DULOXINS, &o. &c. &c. MY LORD,

TILE period has at length arrived, when, as Owners of land and property at lookon, we can no longer refrain from addressing ourselves direct to . M.'s Government, in the confident hope, that a plain statement of facts will i..duce H. M. Advisers, to sanction a material nouOR- tion of the System, which has hitherto bien in operation, occasioning results alike injurious to the interests of the mercantile Community, and the real and onential interests of the settlement. I will scarcely be necessary for us, in the first place, to submit, that shortly after the Es land was first ceded, or laken possession of by part of 1841, a public sale of land was held, at 1. M. Plenipotentiary in China, in the early

which it was stipulated, that the “coram und tenure of all property would hereafter be defin ed by H. M. Government."

But in a letter of H. M. Plenipotentiary, dated 17th June, 1841, copy of which is here.

unto annexed, an expectation was held out, that or two years purchase at the rates paid at the the lands would be granted in the simple, for one public sale; or that they should be charged only with a nommal quit rent, if that “form of tenure continued to obtain.

• This suggestion on the part of H. M. Plen potentiary, originated in the well known fact that the very limited quantity of ground, avaii- P. TOWNSEND..able for Building purposes on the proposed ...

M. ernment did not ace fit to recognise sales Grante of land, that had been made by ..or any Authority whatsoever, up to the ad of the exchange of the ratification of Treaty of Nankin.

a. M. Government must have been well aware, that the Colonists had acted with perft reliance on the good faith and justice of for Government, this order was so far qualif. et. *nal on 23rd August 1815 it was notified:

That an Enquiry should be instituted into Equitable claims of all hollers of land to → confirmation either permanent or temporary of their Tiles, so far as they could be con. tened consistently with a just regard to the -interests of Society at large."

In the early part of 1844 we were, for the first time, made seguainted with the terms ...ch the Crown Lands were to be held, and Henry Pottinger, then Governor of the land, published the forms of the Leases repped to be executed.

conditions of these Leases were univers any considered so unusual, and so certain in their operation to be ultimately injurious, not only the bulders of Land, but to the future we of the Colony, that wo were compell

tutest most solemnly against them in a ndence with the Governor, dated in Ms 1844, from which correspondence we begay subjoin the following extract:

may be allowed to point out to Y. E that an adherence on the part of Government to the proposed terms of Lease would be even "ually the means of placing those, who first eminenced improving their property in tingkong, and who from the mons already ex- aded cannot withdraw from the occupation of the Buildings without ruinous less, on most unfavorable terms, compared with others, who *have the option of resorting to places where land can be bought, or rented, on much more polerate conditions; and we submit, that it in never be the wish or intention of H. M. - Government to place the early occupants of

Land in such a position."

No redress has however been granted; and diregarding the future prosperity of the Settle ment, in the desire to raise a comparatively large temporary revenue, the Local Govern sort has persisted in forcing unusually hard conlitions on the Land holders, who had been ledalo a large expenditure of money, owing to their faith in the promises, under which the Land was originally sold; (promises, which were at any rate tacitly acknowledged by the Gorom ment, and not repudiated until alter the lapse of 3 years); while at the same time it is no exaggeration to state, that had the existing re gulations boen promulgated before, instead of after the outlay of their funds, aut one British Merchant would have been found willing to become a resident in the Colony.

We have deemed it neeemary and due to our alves, to enter thus at length into some account sithe formation of the Colony and its progress haberto, with the view of showing: First, the nature of tho inducements under which we were lel to abandon our Residences at Macao and Canton, where both Houso rent and Taxation are very light; which we may illustrate by the cl, that the Ground rent alone of most of the eligible sites in Hongkong is (without including rent or interest of money) a heavier charge, than all payments, rent inclusive, required" of the Tenants of Houses in Macao;

And Secondly To prove that the very onerous terms, on which we have boer compelled to occupy our property in Hongkong, have been forced on us, not only against our urgent re monstrances, no a question of justice and equity, but in opposition to what we have always con. sidered and represented to be the true interest of the Colony.

Since the enforcement of those Leases, the measures of the existing Government of the Je land have still farther aggravated the evils under which we have been suffering, by making in a placo, nominally declared to be a free Pori, every description of commerce and Trade a Subject of Taration, or source of revenue, or

of Monopoly sold to the highest Bidders, thus diving away, instead of encouraging Trade in an infant Settlement: and lastly we have now complain of the promulgation of an ordinance, hich wo submit be unconstitutional and "gal, empowering Government Assessore arbi ily to valuo all Housebold Property, with List view of raising a new tax, ostensibly for pay. meal of a Police force, there being no Munici. pal Body of any kind in the Colony to determine whether such tax be necessary, or equitably lovicd and approprinted.

We trust therefore, we shall not be deemed presumptuous in submitting to I. M. Govern- ment our urgent entreaty, that they will be pleued to direct the abolition of the Opium Farm, Auction Dution, and other harrassing Taxation recently imposed, which have already had the effect of deterring many Chinese from settling in the place, and driven away several, who were already established, and been in feet utterly destructive of our incipient Trade. this be not conceded, many of the European Residents will also be compelled to quit a place totally without Commerce, but more heavily taxed,

Ground rents alone, than any other. part of China, and remove to those Ports where the Trade is actually carried on, abandoning proportice on which many have expended their whole fortunes.

We further venture to suggest that the system adopted in other colonies inay reasonably bo extended to this dutant settlement; and that it is hoped Goremment will be pleased to au- thorise the formation of a Municipal Body, vested with the usual power of dockling on the appropriation of the inonies raised for Local purposes,

We cannot in conclusion refrain from urging, that such a settlement as Hongkong was never actually required by the British Merchants; and that it has become even lem en since the opening of the Bro Chinese Ports, where the Fo reign Residents are free from all taxation, and where the rent of Land and Houses is generally very modorale.

We submit therefore, that it will be found as inexpedient in principle, as under existing cir- cumstances we consider it would be unjust in practice, to call on the Civil part of the Com munity for any large proportion of the expences of a Colony which is held rather as a Military and Naval Station, giving Grem Britain the Command of these Beas, and as the Residence of a few Merchants, occupied an extending Bri- tish Commerce along the Coast of China, and keeping up en active correspondence with tho rast of the World, than a place which under any circumstancos can be expected possess an extensive Trade, or afford any considerable revenue towards the payment of its own ex- pences.

The Overland payer che- Deing upon this day, the indisposition of printers, and the difficulty of getting out a first issue, have all conspired to occupy greater degree of our attention than usual. The matter for the Overland Friend of China" has also grown upon us, until we have had to add a supple ment. A disappointment in the receipt of fresh type from Macan, has also compelled the Com- positore to have resort to some type of an un- ural size.

It is impossible, even in the worst, that hostili. ties with England should grow out of the Oregun dispuma, withio less that a year. The existing treaty requires a notice from either party, oftwelve monika to the other, before it can be terminated. Before that convention is thus ended, we trust our position will be stronger and mare imposing than it is at present. An addition to our force would, of isoli, decidedly increase the probability that ponce will be preserved ; and in the even of its in- fraction, would be a matter of inevitable necessity. 1841, Washington's advice, in Peace to prepare for war 1 1835, is one of the most prudent of the many wies maximo, which the Father of his country bequeathed to his incres proterity.

But while wạ this argue in favor of an immedi-te preparation for war, should war be forced upon us, or should our calers madly and unnecessarily torce the country into a war, we desire to be understood

There can be no sales of shirtings or Domestics of any importance we think for some time yel, t- less at prices considerably below the cuá đề the articles.

MINUTEN

Of the Seventh Annual Meeting of the MORRISON EDU JATION SOCIETY.

Ta General Annual Meeting of the Harrison Education Society was held this-day. Wed-esday, September 24th, 1848, at 5 O'clock P. M., in the Society's House, Victoria, Hongkong:-

Prestal,Mesra, P. Druozon, R. Strachan, GRO. Petr. R. Razs, C. B. HiLLIER, M. CROFTON MORRISON, W. NICOL, Joux Caine, AndAEW SHORTREDE. T. Hruaxo, A. L. Exation. J. BrookeRank and S. W. Bʊxxur; Colonel Gazus, Commissary-General Meccan: Captains Brox TOD; Dr. Kamis; Revd. Mesure. STANTON, Baown, Hunsox and Gasaus; and the Revd. Drs. Loos aud Bridoman.

The President, Revd. Dr. Brinsman, on taking the Chair, remarked that it would be unnecessary for a ta occipy any time in specifying the ob jest and detailing the operations of the Society, a these would be saticiently exhibited by the He- port of the Trustees, which had been prepared and was now to be submitted to the Moeting. He then after a few brief explanations in behalf of some who had been unable to be present on the occasion--called for the Heport-which was read. The Treasurer's account was noxt exhibited, showing a small balance in favor of the Society. -The account will appear in its proper place, subjoined to the Report.

The following resolutions were now brought forward and adopted by the Society. On motion of the Rerd. VINCENT Joan Stanton, seconded

by Jowe CAIRNo, Esq.

Resolved-That the Report of the Trustees now read, including that of the Rard. Mr. Brown, be approved and accepted, and that the same be published under the direction of the Trustees.

On motion of PATRICK DUDGEON, Esq., second. ed by Rossur Strachan, Esq.

Resolved-That the course of Discipline and Education formed in this School by the itev. Wir. Baows, is highly satisfactory to the members of the Society and Gentlemen present, and that the thanks of the same be prescuted to him.

they return to their other lessons with additional alacrity.

We are sorry we can only give so meagre an abstract of this most interesting repart, which was listened to with the utmost attention by all pre-

dent.

With reference to the last motion, the President explained that while the assistance of another Instructor gare security against the course of edu cation being at any time broken off, in consequence of bad health on the part of the Teacher, it also enabled them to make a division of labour, and afforded greatly encreased facility for adding to the number of Pupila; a class of twelve or filsen requiring very little more labour than one of six or eight. An additional sleeping apartment is re quired for this purpose, the present being inanf. cient for those now inʼattendance. Were this in readinesano doubts are entertained that Scholars would be found to fill it. All the water also requir ed for the establishment must be carried up a step hill, and in case of fire it would be impossible to save the buildings. The formation of tanks would therefore be very desirable. Whilst new rooms for a Library, Dining room for the boys &c., would form a most valuable addition to the comfort of the establishment. In these circumstances it is hoped the public will show the same liberality they have ever done towards this Institution.

The examination of the Pupils was next pro- ceeded with. Having previously witnessed their proficiency, wo were not satonlahed at the attain ments they have made, though the readiness with arithmetical operations performed (including diffi which questions in geography were answered, and

The bigher classes showed a corresponding pro-H. M. dir. Plato, Commander Airy, ficiency in composition, and the only subject of regret we felt throughout the evening was, that the previous proceedings left so little time for showing what they could do. For this reason too several ways written by the elder Pupils could not be read, but were morely handed round afford- ing an opportunity of judging of little more than the writing, which was generally admired. Several specimens of their musical powers were also af forded, which gave much satisfaction. Altogether we feel justified in saying the whole exhibition was most gratifying to every one present.

On motion of the lev. VincaxT J. STANTON, seconded by Charles B. Hızlıon, Esq.

Resolved-That in the estimation of the Bo- ciety the term of Eight years, is not too much time to be allowed for a full course of studies in this School, and the method of the Rard.

Ma. Beown after apologising for the awkward- ness of being called on to report on his own proceedings and suggesting the propriety of an examining Committee, which was afterwards adopt- ed by the meeting, mentioned the advantages the pupils had derived from having as adfitional teacher. A most gratifying projet me was the increasing confidence the Chinese bad in the fasti tution. Every previous your some of the children had been withdrawn by their Parents, before their education had proceeded so far as to be of much advantage to them. This has gradually diminish. ed and during last year mone has been withdrawn. On the contrary Mr. B. related two anecdotes showing the alteration in their sentiments. A Father, whose three sons had successively at- tended the institution, stated that they could not at Brat understand why foreigners should support and educate their children, without any prospect of remuneration. This was so mysterious that they could scarcely believe but there must be some Now however said he concealed sinister motive. we can understand it. My children have learned from you nothing bad. The religion in which you have instructed them has made them better. T believe its truth, though the customs of our country do not admit of my embracing it. Another whose wun had died, after attending his funeral, warmly thanked Mr. Brown for the attention that had baan paid him, though deeply distressed at the loss of his only son. he expressed sympathy with Mr. 6. that all the labour he had bestowed had been lost, and asked in case he should adopt an other, if he too would be received and educated in the institution.

One of the young men who went to Shanghai with Captain Barour has returned with a letter, expressing satisfaction with his behaviour and thanks for his services. Another has been sent to supply his place of whose conduct favorable ac- counts have been received.

Mr. Bow then shortly described the course of instruction pursed in the different classes in English, Arithmetic, Geography, composition &c.,

to which has now been added mic. This latter

is keenly entered into by the pupils, and after i

A very general complaint bas for some time prevailed that notwithstanding soune intimation was given a year or moro ag? that Bankruptcy laws would be brought into operation at Singapore, no notice hat since been taken of the matter; the application of the how for the relief of insolvent debtors is apparently as far distant se it well could be. Now tough we are no advocates for the trolaction of any regulation directly or indirectly calculated to encourage either the bad system of show or the wore praction of nou pryment, wo think the Imperial legislature has aiwly taken into copaletation Que misfortunes of the wúprosperous teipate in the benefit the insolvent low affords, and provided a remedy who would be inere justly dealt with were they committed to gal as fluns, and that to this class | of ondoreloals the intolerut laws do but form a way of escape from the payment of debis contracted Eithout the means and perhaps without even the intention of over discharging.” The it solvent lang, although extending their benefits to such an un- worthy clim as we hare just notoil, were never intended to to apply the shelter they afford to the dishonest detor is the insequence of their tuo

(From the Friend of India July 21tk.) Modification of the Post Offier Reles.

We publish above a communication from the Officiating Postmaster, which announces that it, compliance will the wishes expressed by the Chausber of commerce, he has resolved to dify the rule for ; rompt payment on the del. very of every letter. No invidious distinction is to be made between great firms and small firms, and between big and batle individuals, All are to share and share alike in tho indulgenca of paying weekly for the letters which they my recrive. The pons are to call for than delivered to them, together with a statement of the postage, te ta ba mark xl down in ɑ an parate book belonging to each individual audi firm. The accounts of the week are to bɔ juated on the following Mon lay morning. This plan will, wo think, be find equally convenient to the firms and › the Post Of fico; and if the amount of postage be put down in words and not in figures, in this edumas ruled for Rupees, annas, and pie, a inisinko or n dispute can scarcely occur," Wo have long enjoyed the privilege of making a single payout at the end of each month of all our postage for letters sent and received, and have never had occasion to complain of a sin glu error in the transmission and receipt througin the Post Office of Six thousand letters, and Three thousand nowspapers during the year. We have two bunks, one for letters sent, the other for lutters received. In the former, the Dawk Moonsheo simply enters the number of letters be sends us during the two or three deli. veries of each day, with the amout of postage: to prevent the possibility of alteration, his figures are corroborated by our initials. The other is the usual dawk book similar to that used by others, in which the name and the residence of every correspondent to whom a letter is sent as well as its weight, is entered; the Dawk Moo whee affixes the postage to cach name, casis Lip the sun every day, and impresses a Post Office stamp near . At the end of the month, the Bill ia mado up in a quarter of an hour, and the account adjusted. The presont plan of the Of ficiating Postmaster, no far as regards letters delivered from the Office, corresponds exactly with that which has long been in vogun hero, and will entail no inconvenience, unless the number fapplicants for a separate pigeon kolo should be so great as to oblige Government to ront an additional house.

Ining for the regulation of Jarics and Jurors: Amoy by the Captains of vessels who visit the the second (No. 8) to regulate criminal pro- port, or the consignees of goods- but to this port we will more particularly draw attention ccedings.

These three ordinances alike exhibit a bit of at an early date. As to Ningpo and Foo-chow. conceit, which if it does not render then foo, as they are seklom visited by ships, and nugatory, certainly shows a wonderful degree there is only one commercial Agent resident of irregularity in the Legislativo Council of at the latter, and nono at the koiraier, there Hongkong. We presume that the proceedings are but few complaints. The wonder is how of this body are duly recorded by their Clerk, the Consular Genilomen manage to kill time.

On the and placed in the Colonial archivos. 19th of August 1845 when these ordinances pas sed Council, His Excellency, the Governor, was simply Jobn Francis Davis, Esq.-infor- mation of the honor conferred upon him not having been received in the colony until the 14th of September-yet they are headed, “ By His Excellary Bir John Francis Davis, Baro ael" There may be no difficulty in proving that the Juho Francis Davis, Esq., and the Bir John Francis Davis, Baronet, are one and the RADIO poreon, but we apprehend that the desire to blazon forth is Excellency's blush- ing honors, is no apology for what appears to bo a mutilation of ihres most important public documents.

That these ordinances either passed Council on the 19th of August, or they did not pass on that day is a self evident proposition. If in the affirmative, they were passed on the 19th of August, then they were not passed by Sir John Francia Davis, Baronet; if in the negativo, they were not passed until a subsequent date, then they bear an incorrect date. In either caso the blunder is a ludierious, if not a purious ono. Wo hope it is merely ludicrious, but we Icevo it for better Jurists to decido.

We hear that Mr. Macgregor has proposod that, foreigners be permitted to leave the boun- daries of their present prison, as far as they can travel and return in one day.

Extract of a Despatch from Mr. Conavi Alenck

to the address of kin Exestlency Her Ma jesty's Plenipotentiary, de.. "&c., dated Foocherfoo, 13th September, 1815.

I have the bansour to inclose for Your Excel. Jency's information a copy of a letter 3 addressed to the Governor-General of this Province, when 1 forwarded a copy of the letter of their Excel lences Keying and Hwang. I thought it desir able to avail myself of the opportunity furnished by the Imperial Commissioner's remarks, ta point nut that sets of insuli and outrage, such as had been the object of complaint, could not be enn- sidered as slight differences," and that the "good faith of our twe nasune," to which their Excellencies made reference, was no lesa con- reined ki the dite fulfilment of the lat and 2nd articles of the Treaty, than in the observance of the 11th Article of the Supplementary Treaty, which stipulates for the final restoration of L bu-

9211.

It will be seen that 1 was not less ready to bear testimony to the marked improvement in the behaviour of the prople since I delivered to the Governor-General your Excellency's remons- trance; and I rejoice much to be able to report, both in reference to the conduct of the populace, and the prospects of 'T'rade, that shero is subject for congratulation.

* In reference to the altered disposition, I hate purposely taken occasion to test it. I did not fail also to ascertain by sura means, that the whole of the three proclamations bad effectively been issued in great numbers, and generally throughout the City and Suburbs in every direc tion.

A similar gratifying, and not less sudden change has taken place in reference to commer cial transactions. The Bintang, after waiting Jur repairs more than a month, with a large cargo, could not sell a piece of goods. The Ware in six weeks could not rell four fundred, and had actually dropped down the offer on her way to Ay, when coming in contact with a jack, she Jast er einast, and was compe:led to put buck. Subsequently, when laying ten miles below the bridge, in the spaen of a few days, she sold a larger quantity of goods than during the previous six weeks.

The arrival of three vessels, two American and one English, with consignments for Mr. Glen, for whom Uhave procured, with the sasist- auce of the authorities, a large and well situated Hong, enables him also to come into the fall, with greater adsaulages than any Captain of a vessel wishing to dispose of his cargo. I venture ta bope, therefore, that the grestest obstacks to the establishment of a Dritiasi Trade at this. Port have been autonoted, and that good fuit may be safely anticipated at no very distant period. (Signed) RUTHERFORD ALCOCK. (This Extract,) An W. Euxenie.

There are many rumours as to the object of Keying's intended visit to Hongkong. We can- not flatter ourselves that it is a mero visit of caroony to Sir John Davis, or that is froin a desire to witness the improvement of Hong kong since he last saw it as the guest of his friend Bi. Henry Pottinger. The most proba ble conjecture is that Keying comes to nego tiate, thore being many important matters yet to settle between Great Britain and China,

It is evident that on the part of the Chinese the treatica formed with Sir Henry Pottinger have not been kept, nor do we believe there is soy intention to abide by them except on com- pulsion. The British govoroment (and in fact all foreign powers trading China) have three specific grievances to complain of, each of which will justify strong measures, and we have reason to believe that acting under posi- tivo instructions from home, Sir John Davis has addressed himself to the government of China in terms which demande inmediato attention, and hence most probably the visit of Keying who comes to treat with the “barbarians” in their own colony.

Letters from the Kestrel brigantine, Commodore the Earl of Yarborough, have been received at Portsmouth from Gibraltar; the Kastref beat all the members of the experimental squadron upon every point of miling a long as she was with them. She reports the Canopur, 34, to have bosten the other ships of the squadron The Hatred parted with the squads in on the 24th ultimo, owing to having die covered a serious loak of four feet, under water, for. ward, which placed her in an alarming situation, as it was momentarily increasing. All the pumpe were set to work, but could not reduce the look, and serious thoughts wore anteained of then being compelled to abandon ber. Ultimately, however, the leak was stopped.

Bubsequent accounts from the squadron to the 10th August state the Queen to have proved herself the best of the three deckers, and the Canopus the best of the two deckars, in all the trials which bad taken place up to that dute. It is also stated that the Trafalgar, Vongue d and Superk, were the stern. i most ships of the squadron, the latter universally so, and her performinos altogether had been through ost the revers of her name.

The present ordinanca is one of a purely local na- ture, and not intended to encroach upon the general rulo, that allegiance is only claimed from those born in the Brisk minion, or if out of it, born of English parents, and that no foreigner can obtain the privileges of a British subject except by special set of parliament. It is one of those local act which, though opposed to the constitution of Eng land, in still deserving of the sanction of Her Ma jesty's government, as it is intended to benefit the colony-doce not extend beyond its limits—nor does it encroach upon the right or interests of thos who are born British subjects, There is a distinc tion between this ordinance and may of its predvera- sors, a distinction which we wish our readers to mark, and which we sincerely hope has not escaped the stration of the Legislature.

Again it is admitted, that the kangard in queɛ. tion adjoins a shed in the next yard, to jehich there is a free access at all times from the strect, and that the fire broke out in the angle formed by the two

One beautiful and every expensive tombatras of marble, we are told, was entirely destroyed in the wooden case in which a few days previously, it bad strived at Quebec. The reflection of the fire was seen at a great distance from the city. The passengers on the steamer from Quebec to Mon- trend saw it distinctly from Lake St. Pater, and, we are informed, that some persone observed it from Sorel-forty-five miles below Montreal,

The loss sustained by Quebec in the two fires would stand an follows:-

The state of the weather on the occasion of both fires was singularly fimilar. A long track of dry weather accompanied by bigh winds had rendered the shingled roofs and wooden buildings of which the greatest part of the Suburbs of Quebec were composed, peculiarly fitted for catching and spread ing fire. As at the first fire also, a strong gale from the North East was blowing at the time, And as the fire began at the North East augle of the Suburis, between St. Johns Gale and Cote Corow, the whole body of houses standing beyond the walls Westunud, lay open to the fall sweep of the wind and fite,

It was some time before the fire bolle announced to the inhabitants within the walls the dunger that had come upon those without. But as a view of the whole Sukurka is commanded from the West- ern wall of the City, the sentries on duty on the ramparts gave on early alarm to the garrison, and offerta, nd ines were promptly on the spot. Sir James Hope was again on the ground in person, as at the former frs, to direct and encourage the efforts of those under his command.

FOO-CHOW.FOO.

We are informed by a recent visitor that there is a decided improvement in the aspect❘ of affairs at this port. The populace are more respectful in theif demeanor towards fo reigners, though there are still grounds of com- plaint on this score. From the extract of Mr. Alcock's despatch to the Superintendent of Trade which we publish, it appears that the Interpreter to the Consulate had being insulted in the Tartar division of the city. It is satis factory to hear that the remonstrance of Mr. Alcock bad sufficient influence with the Go- vernor General, to induce him to inflict on the insolent Tartare a degrading Chinese punish- ment, frons which they have hitherto been

excmpl.

Mr. Alcock's pnergetic measures deserve all praise, and will gain him the res. pect of the Chinese, as well as the good will of his countrymen in China, whose comfort and safety, whilst resident at the consular porte depend in a great inoasure on the character and sentiments of the Consul.

In commercial matters, there has not been much done, but there is some little trade. which in all probability will increase gradually. An English commercial Agent bas, through the instrumentality of Mr. Alcock, obtained suitable promises for stores and a dwelling house, and formed the nucleus of the future foreign commerce of Foo-chow-foo, Oue or two cargoes of goods from this port have been partly stored, and partly sold at fair prices. Ja the outer waters there is a chosiderable traffic in drug.

They affected their escape by braking their way through the roof of the jail

Thus, it appears, that the question of acquiring ary, to exchange for it the island of Hongkong is to be brought immediately under the consideration of the Ministry. It is possible that after the sums which have been expended at Hongkong they may be stawilling to relinquish it; but, even as a matter of economy, it would in the long run be found Judi cious to sacrifice the money which has been sunk upon it, if there be no other mons of obtaining pos session of the other island which is in every respect so much more eligible. It would even be cheap to indemnify the merchants for the sun which they bare laid out in warehouses, in order to secure the removal of our commercial establishments to a spot where they will enjoy such pro eminent advantagest. But if we could obtain the island of Chusen without the cession of Hongkong, it would be more advie able to keep both, and to inake the former our head- We hope the arguments which Mr. quarters. Montgomery Martin may urge in favor of the mea- so will and favor with Lord Stanley, and that Sir John Davis will be instructed to use very effort in

his power to obtain it,

The result was inevitable. On being brought be- for the Court, Mr Rom refeed to plead, or to ac

knowledge any military jurisdiction, independent of the Master-General of the Ordinance, and that too in the face of 221 Clause of the Mutiny Act, and the 14La Article of War. He did more-ho stated, it is to be seen on the minutes, that the Civil Members of the Ordanoce Departme entertained the same viewa; and that the Court right, if it thought pro- per, ressive evidence of the fact from themselves,

The Court very properly declined entering upon such evidence; but the Major-Glocosal asanat see suok a tender openly made, (and that too without the commdiction of which it was susceptible on the apoi,) without putting the Civil Officers and all other members of the Ordinance Department on their guard, how they renture to carry suck a prin cipla into practice.

ba egregiously disappointed; for while the Major- General desires to exercise his commend with the atmost consideration to all around him, he will serer for an instant compromise the sluime of clinct- ipline, or remit one lots of the powers entrusted to | kim by the Queen's authority.

The Major-Genoral has observed, that one of the excuses made by Mr Row for disobedience of ot ders, is, that in being diricted to proceed to Stanley, he was ordered to an unhealthy station, and expusăl to the occupation of a quarter that had proved pro- verbially fatal. Now, without admiting for M ment the right of any person sinployed under Miti- of his duties, the Major-General owes it to himself tary nuthority to select the spot for the performance to say this was not the case. In the first place, at

exprese arrangements had been made for giving M to be any thing but unhealthy; and in the second, Rees a very good quarter, being one at that moment occupied by a married Captain of a regiment in this

command.

The Major-General has gone into these particu

fars, because it is with deep regret he puts his ap- proval to a sentence (however justly and impera cively awarded) the diamines any person in Mr Roes from situation further employment in the Queen's service, and because he is antious that the exercise

The now favored class for a selection of men qualified in gorero, and hold appointments in Her Majesty's colonies, areold military and naval officers,; younger branches of the aristocracy reduced Gentlemen; and a malufarious class, specimens of a houn may be seen in all British co- Jonies. It is chiefly to be remarked, with reference to the last of these elusses, that they are men with a good amount of talents, an immenso tal of assurance, and who are most probably re warded for past services as pamphleterists about some of the public offices, by an appointment in the Colonies. This is not treating the colo nies fairly, for whatever claims the military and naval classes may have for rewards in their own service, for which they have been remu. nerated according to a well known scale before they catered the service, is it not to them unkind, after they are unfit for active pursuita, to send them to distant colonies to lead a life of discom. fort in the discharge of those civil engagements of which they are in great ignorance l'it is pe culiarly unjust as refers to the Colunist, who has to pay for people who are positively injuring his property. As refers to the second and third clam, they offer the true material for the public service, if regularly introduced and advanced they, by experience, aequire that knowledge which is indesponsable.

But, while we are clarouring to avoin the mischief of separating the group into various males or nations, we ought also to beware lest we so divide any one of these larger divisions is to split into a number of small and hostile communities, We wish not to make an England, an,Ireland, and Scothal; we ought to be careful us to make in any our part a ura Bleptarchy.

Many of the preesution against these evils are common precautions: that is, the thing that in needed to be done, to prevent the creation of the larger divisions, la necemary also to prevent the smaller. I will therefore, consider the precautions under one general houil.

The practical question has been fairly launchol-how can the ad inimistention of the enlcuier be improvel, on the ou hand, by improved local institutions in the co- ; sul on the other by renrginisation of the Colonial office at home!

It is with sincere pleasure that we present to our readers a more full and accurate report of Mr Roebuck's speech than has appeared clewhore. The bold and trane haut, yet judicious, manoce in which he brushes away all carile about land-rights and the right of sovereignty is also admiralde |

For certain purposes I would have an executive council, chosen by the Crown, to advise with the governor; the goverwor, however, acting without their consent.

It was to show the Government that, if they would not go the entire length with the committee, the right bunourable gentleman perhaps might use his influence to induce Lord Stanley to retrace his course (Hear, boar.)

Mr Mangles hollered, if the colonies of New at prosent for Bengal and Madras Color O Zealand were allowed to govern themselves, there, but to a limited extant, would be a revenue more than sufficient to meet all the expenses of the colony, without calling for any aid from this country.

Sir Robert Peel, apologised for Lord Sealey As to the constitution of the supreme authority, it was a difficuh question, and be hoßed that it would be settled at the earliest possible period, for the interest of the colony for that was the great and paramount question with them all. In some way or other the Legislative Council ought to representi the public opinion of the colony. He must coo clade by saying that he did not think it would be for the advantage of the colony that this discussion should be continued.

Mr Roebuck explained.

The Hon'ble the Recorder then directed the atten- non of the Grand Jury to the state of destitution which existed amongst the towers class of Chinese, Their poverty was moet distressing A circular had In on sent round by the stipendiary agistrato Capt.

He underload the Now Zealand Cumpay relied upon the sincerity of the right hon. baronet at the head of the Government Bince the last discussion certain proposals had beas | made on behalf of the New Zealand Company to her Majesty's Clovernment for a saloment of dif- ferences. Upon the receipt of those proposals, the Under Secretary for the Colonies expressed a wish to re-open negotiations, and a deputation from the company waited upon ban. A proposition was then medo which now stood over for the considona

"Lord Stanley, who was unfor❘ tion and approval sunately absent. The trusted that, for the good of all, the proposals which had been made would meet with the #cceptance of the noble lord. But he wanted to know whether, in the event of those hopes not being realised, the right hon. baromet would gire another opportunity for discussing the stato of the colony in the present session, if they omitted to make thus reharka they might think it their duty; to do upon that vote?

the colony of New Zealand

Sit in Peel had a very strong wish to avoid a discussion under present circumstances, as be con- sidered it of great importance to the well-being of the colony that it should be avoided if possible. No man regretted more than he did the differences which had sprung up between the New Zealand Company and her Majesty's Government. Com munications were now passing between the Coke Dial-office and the company. The probability was that there would be an amicable conclusion pf those difference; but, if aufortunately it should happen that a different result were arrived at, he had no hesitation in giving an assurance that another op portunity for discussing the whole queation would be afforded during the present semion.

Me Hope begged to set the hon. gentleman op posite right on one point. It was not because of the absence of Lord Stanley that the proposal had not been decided upon. The reason was, that a gentleman had been called in, who was totally un- connected with the past history of the dispute, who was now engaged in arranging the difference, and the propues! was before him.

hir Roebuck bad always been anxious that the question should not be discussed as a dispute be- tween the New Zealand Company and the Glorern- mes. He was convinced that, with a littlo care, they might strike out a self-amining system of colonisation, Let there be a Governor and Execu five Council appointed by the Crown, and a Legis Iative Assembly elected by the colonists. Let these be the Legislature; and the administration be in the Governor, with the advice, not by the content, of the Council. Let the colonins, in local matters, govern themselves. A general law should be pre pared, so that each county, as it received ita popu lation, should receive the law from the law and from nothing else, Ile entreated the Government not to allow an bour to pass before they formed a uniform system for the whole of the colony.

Mr Hume mid, people might plan what they liked for the good government of the colonies else where; but so long as the Colonial-odice remain- ed defective, nothing in the way of perconwent good could be effected.

Mr Sheil entered at considerable length into the past history and present state of New Zealand, and concluded to the following effect:-What was the

Mr G. W. Hope, leaving the general question as having been already sufficiently discussed, would confine himself to the amount of the present eti mate.

HEALTH OF HONGKONG. You have doubtless board much of the elekness of Hongkong. It is true that disease and doeth bare committed great havoc here, yet I can see no evidence of its being insalubrious. The topography of the island preclude that idea. The great tot tality was owing to causes in no way connected with the climate. Intemperance, exposure to the un, damp dwellings and filthy sitouts have seca. sioned the sickness, hat the most common cause has been the free use of vinous and formented and distilled liquors.

A most deliberate murder was erromitted on Saturday about two o'clock close by the police station at the Now Market. On Monday an inquest was held on the body, from which it appeared that the murdered man was a per- son of good character, having served two years as a policeman, which service he recent ly quited voluntarily. He had been on visit to his native village and returned to Hong- kong a fow days before his death. Alora (the deceased) was indebted to two of his countrymos, (who come from a town near Whampoa) one dollar, which was an old gam bling debt. On Saturday, these two men called upon a third porann, also a native of their town, and requested him to walk out with them. This much was proved, but whether they went out to meet Aleea with the preme. ditated intention of murdering him remains to be seen upon trial. They met Aleen at the gambling shop, were he had lost the money. and demanded payment-be declared his inabi lity to pay them, but promised to do so o some future lay.

It is not probable that foreigners wit often avail themselves of the privilege of visiting the suburbs of Canton, notoriously the abode of cut throats and thieves; neither would many care to enter the city, were it thrown open.

On Bunday evening, Mr Clay, who it was un- derstood was too ill to sit up in his bed, and, in fact, an ill that even his ultimate recovery was cun videred doubtful, had a large number of loaded muskets and other deadly weapons, with which he had intended to defend his offier, removed from that building. On Sunday night, the sleem through out Lexington was very considerable on account of the fact that the knowledge of what was trans. piring was said to have reached a portion of the population that should have been kept in ignorance of it. Many fancied that they saw symptoms of insubordination; and patrols were kept up through- out the city during the night.

AMERICAN BLAVE-TRADE IN BRAZIL

** It is said that thore is not a mercham or dooler of any sort on this whole coast, from Pata to Rio Gmode, engaged in the trade between Brazil and Africa, who dos mut, directly or indirectly, par sicipate in the profit or loss of the foreign slave. trade. And there is very little low in that trade. Nothing is lost if two out of fire trips succeed. And that trade has of late rather increased then diminished.

Though of a rather old dale, we dransfer to our columns a paragraph from the Bombay Courier, making some comparisons between H. M. Brig Pilot and the clipper "Lanrick." The new arrangements by which the maile from Europe arrive by steam, has in some degree drawn attention from the unrivalled sailing vessels between China and lodia, to whose matchlem speed the foreign public of this part of the Globe, and the Government of Hongkong, were so long indebted for an early receipt of letters and despatches. That they no longer put us in possession of intelligence from Europe, and seldom even from India, is only another proof of the power of steam, and the enmmunity thankful for past favors, will always feel an interest in their old favorites who have so ofton, by a speedy communication, shortened the distance between them and their friends, We are not entirely relieved from the abligations which we are all more or less - der to the clippers of Chine.

(From the Chinese Repository, for November.} Toleration of Roman Catholicism, by a special letter from their excellencies. Kiyiag governor-general of Kwingtung and twingei, and Wùng Ngan- lung governor of Kwingtung.

During this month wo have received two com. municatione from Shanghai, one from the Rt. Alter. Bishop Bouae, and the other from the Rev. Dr. Medhurst, both baring reference to publio docu. ments touching the subject of toleran. The for. mer is dated on the first instant: the bishop sa yo, "A few days since a paper came into my hande which defines the religion of the Lord of heaven, to be the religion of there whe wowship (ind, and who renerate and make offerings to the cross, pictures - and imagre; and these are the persone, and these only, Kiying now mye, are the ones tulorated by the former decreo Consequently Protestants are excluded" Un good authority we have heard it' declared, as coming directly from bis excellency the French enmmissioner, M. de Lagrend, that the decree for toleration was designed to be la iversal, at least so far as to includo Protestable an well as Roman Catholica. The authenticity of the deeroo having been doniod, the editor of the Chi- area Repository addressed a mule to 11. E. Al. de Lagrene, on the eve of his departure for the month, requesting that, it might be male public by the proper authorities To that bote no snewer hoe na yet been received. The request was made on the supposition that the toleration was universal, in- cluding both Catholics and Protestants. Al, whose instance "the public letter from Kiying" was ob wined, we knɔw not, not have we soen the original, the Chiamo text, of the intendant's proclamation. Elad we it, we would gladly publish the words wo have marked by itylis We did believe, and so will still suppose,—until we know to the contrary, -that the Preach commissioners intended the act of toleration should be universal, so as to include Christians of every name.

Dr. Medhurst's letter, under data of Nov. 12th, 1846, and addressed to the editor of the Chinese Repository, hard follows.

Dear Sir,-'be subjoined proclamation has been, posted up on the walls of Shaughal; I bave thought proper, therefore, to translate it for your pages. The former proclamation of the imperial com. missioner Kiying has not, it appears, been thought

When we learn from the Bishop of Salisbury that the Ecclesiastical Commimionery cannot fulől their engagements because their affairs are da em- barrassed as they can be, we are reminded of that beautiful insance of their disorest management, so well preparing us for all consequences, brought to light by Lord Radnor some few months ago.

A clergymen applied for assistance in building a globe house. A thousand pounds was about the som requialte, one half of which, according to rule, should have been furnished by the clergyman, the other by the Commission. The Commissioners altered the conditions of the sum twice or thrics, raising it each time, and finally fixing it at about 800 for the moiety instead of 500. The poor clergymen could neither sfford the outlay, nor to keep up, with his slowder income, the style of heure which the Commissioners stipulated for, with li- brary, drawing room, dining-room, den, suited to a man of about 1,000 your, and which they would have forced on one of 1504.

But as the old proverb says, “Wilful waste makes woful want;" and the consequence of all the magnificence of the Commission may be found in this case, exemplo of a class, narrated by the Times- The church of St. Nicholas is situated in the village of East Grafton, in the parish of Great Bedwin Wiltshire. It is as pretty à village church as may be seen in England, built in the Norman style, and affording accommodation to five hundred persone; its indefatigable minister is deservedly beloved, the attendance of the villagers MOM re guler, and their pious und woll-ordered demeanour on the Sabbath sufficiently touching_to_melt any heart les obdurate than that of an Ecclesiamical Commissioner. This church was built upon the understanding that certain sums should be advanc ed towards im endowment bath by the Commis. slowers and by the patron of the parish in which the church stands." As a condition of the advanos on the part of the Commissioners, the patron was called upon to relinquish bie right of patronage to St. Nicholas, and to suffer it to pass into the hands of the vicar of Great Bodwin. The right was ro linguished upon such an understanding. Upon the faith of the Commissioners the presunt minister undertook the care of the village, and from tho moment that he commence bis duties until the pre- went time-a period of nearly two years not one far thing has he been able to procure from the Com- missioners as a return for his services, and us a fulfilment of their own cred engagemem is applications for payment have been humorous and respectful. The minister at length, unable to cou tinue in the per sauce of his duties unless soum steps are taken to secure to him the very small stipend upon which he has consented to falur, applies to the Eishop of the diocese, bie matural prowetor, and a Commissioner. What is the Bis hop's answer? We are accused of unfairly repre- seating the Commisalonors. Air Blackburn sells us that they are prosperous and thriving; ho defies any minister to stand forward and say, 'that sught has failed him of all that has been pledged to him.'

In our last paper wo published a letter from a native of Manila, who is a resident of this co- lony, not Master of a Spanish vessel as wo then supposed. This man was charged with having shipped a crew of Manila scainën, not having a THE FRIEND OF CHINA, Now with all deference to the acting Magistrate, Lieut. Amstrong, we are convinced that neither he, nor any other person onnected with the Government can point out any act which justifies a Magistrate in fining a man twenty duliars, or one dollar, for shipping Manila sea men without a license. There is an ordinance (No. 13 of 1845) which establishes the Indian evetem of employing crimps, (in the oast called Ghaut Berangs) for the shipment of Lascar se men. In India exertions lieve long been made to abolish one of the most inferous systems that ever polluted a country, though unfortunately yet without success. In Hongkong "crimp ing has been made a source of revenue, the U. M.

It is this system which the Government oocou rages, though we cannot believe that they are acquainted with its enormities. The ordinance refurred to does not einbrace the natives of Manila. It is entitled. "An ordinance to cete- blish a licensed Ghaut Sorang in the colony, of Hongkong, and for the bettor regulation of Lascars resorting thereto." The following are the clauses of the ordinance.

The Irisarrived at Singapore all well, after a tedious passage of twenty sine daya, Bhe had been delayed with calms and light baffling winds. The Dandalus made the passage to Chusan in twenty one days, which against the N. E. monsoon is considered good work for a vessel of her burden. The Vestal proceeds to" Whampos about the end of this month, or the beginning of next, for tho last installment of the indemnity money.

Lloyd's Agents in China have favored un with the copy of a circular, which intimates" that the port of Adelaide, South Australia, han boca declared free to ships of all nations; ton-" nago and harbour dues, lights, piktage and fees

(From the Calendal Times and Tasmanian.) IMPORTANT DECISION.

A case was bourd and dorczmined by the Elouse of Lorde on the 17th and 18th of February last, of very great importance to the maxlente in British Colantes, the decision determining "that personal property, situated in Britain belonging to British subjects dying domiciled abroad, is not liable to The decision was giron legacy or residun duty" on appeal from the judgmont of the Exchequer Court in Scotland, in the case of Thomson v. Her Majesty'e Advocate, the facts of which were briefly as follows:-The Inte John Great, Eng., a native of Soodland, died domiciled in Demerara, leaving funds in the Royal Bank of Scotland By his testament, be nominated executors resident in Demerara, and In certain legacies to parties in Scotland, and the residue of bis estate to others residing in the Colony: The executors appointed Mr Thomson, their at torney in Scotland, to administer the Butch state, who secordingly took out probate in the weal form. A clein was made on the part of the Crown for legacy and residue duty out of this estate, in re spect of its having been the property of a British- born subject, situated in Boutlawd, and there ad- ministered and distributed. This claim was resist. ed by the attorney, on the grounds that as the law of the testator's domiclo, at the timo of his death ruled the acession, the liability of personal esÉALO to legacy duty was governed by that law ; and that no legacy or residue duty was due by the law of Demenza The Court below had decided in favor of the Crown, but the case was carried by appeal to the blouse of Lords, and ordered by the Lond Chancellor to be heard before the whole of the Judges because of its importance and difficulty. Afler bearing the arguments of counsel, the Lord Chancellor put the following questivo to the Ju- dgos:A. B., British subject, born in England, rosidad in a British Colony, nade his will and died domiciled there. At the time of his douth debu were owing to him in England-bis executor in England collected those debis, and our of the money he collected paid legacies to certain legatoes in En- Land-are auch legacios Umbla to the payment of the legacy duly 1 He had framed the question In this general form, because the statuto equally af fected England and Bootland. The Judges, through Lord Chief Justice Tindal, answered to the affect that though the words of the statute could not ap ply everywhere, the principle which ran through all the decided cases was, that the domicile of the decemned party gave the law which regulated the distribution of his personal property ; this rule was Det affected by the "situs" of the personal property Victoria, Queen's Road & Aberdeen Street, 18th itself, or by the place in which the administrator

Ma Dry, in a very neat address, contended that even if the Bill was a boon to the people, sad they did not wish for it, the Counell ought not to force it upon them. He (Mr Dry) should therefore op pose it.

PUBLIC MEETING TO RESIST TAXATION.

On Saturday, a highly respectable and intelligent meeting was held at Mr. Mezgar's Hotal, to iske into consideration the best plan of opposing the wholesale taxation with which the Colony threatened, but confined, in the project instance, to the Road Act

On the motion of Mr. Haller, seconded by Mt. Thomas Macdowell, Bir. Pitcaira was called to the chair, and baring explained the preliminary sature of the proceedings, the business of the meeting commenced.

Bir J. P. Rowe, in a brief but emphatic spotch, which he prefaced by saying he had but a abert time to sparo, and that he did not mean to propowe any resolution, observed, that he gathered from the Chairman, that they were met together to oppose a certain act, namely, the Road Act; why not to oppés every aot which imposed laxation Why not the Paving and Lighting Act, and all other t Donitutional acts? This was not the time, neither was it the place, to show that this Colony was already taxed more heavily than any other Britian possession than Canada, New South Wales, New Zeeland, &c. &c. The object of the present meeting was to oppose an unjust and extensive taxation, but not to oppose the Government: their opposition was to certain unconstitutional matures, and they had smetablod together in a constitutional manner, avalling themselves of their prerogative, to prevent, if possible, the evile with which they were threatened Clearly, the first step was to Pri tion; but the locidally objected to patition the Lan onl Governm, at; it was perfocily absurd to peri- tion an unrecognised body—such as our Lagi-la- tive Council, which was, indeed, but a completa mockery. If they petitioned at all, let them per- tion the Qten and both Hauses of Parliament, and let them point out and remonstrate against the monstrous illegality of this intended taxation= thear)-un futation which would not only be mis chievous in effect, but was most unconstitutional in principle. No man had a right to past with him property, without his own consent; and, according to British law and British ja-tice, there could be no Taxation withrut Representation. The Clavera. ment being composed of Crown nominoes, Iberu was, at once, on usurpation of power :—the Go. vernment was all on one vide—but was that the side of the peoplo 1 (Hear) And a to the Le gislative body, that was based upon a mockery al- ingether, by which the people were completely ex.

The Council then went into committee on the Bill, and with tho consideration of the clades ; but an the Attorney-Gener proposed to introduce cor- lain new matter into the Bill, chiefly with respect to slaughter-hours, and the supplying of the town with water, the discussion on the motion of Mr Gregson was adjourned, not only on this account, as the Attorney Geneal was bound to give notice, at lewat one day, of arty new matter, but in conse- quence also of the absence of Mr O'Connor, who had not yet laken his seat in the Council.

Mr Gregson then rose to move an adjournment of the debate, inasmuch as the question was most important, and that the Attorney-Cleneral was ob liged to give, at least, one day's notice of any new matter to be introduced into the Bill: this notice had not been given, and an adjournment was ineri- table.

Mr Kermode explained; he did not see any reason why the Bill should be forced upon the poo- ple to support the revenue. The Governor had said, he did not want to raise a revente by the Act; the letter plan would be, to move that the Bill be withdraw for a year, on the ground that the colony was pretty well taxed already, and that the colony complained of this and not without reason; let the colony first get rid of the burthen of the Police expenditure, before the Council could up prove of any system of taxation.

Kerchichiz. Ching Choong. Achong. Atti,

At the land sale yesterday, as compared with former sales, the bidding was not spirited, though of 56 lots offered 44 were sold, chiefly to Chibere, at a trifling advance upon the upset price. The sale will add about £650 to the revenue, provided the leases are all taken up and the ground built upon, which we think doubtful so far as building is coorem. ed, as we apprehend that many of the water frontage lois were purchased by speculators.

la consequence of the rainy weather the Regatta has been postponed to the 15th, 16th, and 17th, instaut.

By a late arrival from New South Wales, we received files of most of the paper pu blished in Australesis ; a perval of which gives some innght into the working of the legislatures which have been bestowed on the several co Innies.

To New Zealand we need not refor further, than to state, that line Hongkong, it has through an eroneous system of governing, coupled with great ignorance on the part of the Executive, been brought to the very brink of destruction, from which it can only be preserved by wiser and more liberal ruler,

By proper and prudent economy in the reduction of the salaries of the public ser vants-dismissing a large portion of the paid Magistrates and protecting the colonial Far mer from the competition of the Growers of wheat in Chili, from whence with less ex- pensive labour, a better soil, and a regularity in crops which cannot be depended on in New South Wales, wheat could in former times, be delivered at the mills at a lower price than it could be raised by the colonial farmer. In conseq ence of this the cultivation of grain was in a great mensura abandoned, and hundred ad #xly thousand pounds anual ly sent out of the oulouy to pay for foreiga grown broil studs. A small duty has enabled the Colonial farmurs to supply their own markets, and the large sun which formarly went to the foreiga farmer is now saved to the co- lony and mado available for knal improvų, ments.

It is to the wisdom and energy displayed by the Legislature, in encouraging colonial manufactures, and in drawing forth the resources of the enlony, that in a great degree, may be ascribed this extraordinary change in the short term of four years. But full justice has yet to be rendered to this promising Country, and unfortunately it is not in the power of the local Legislature to remove the obstruc- tions which have been placed on its pros parity.

"A living Jackass may kick a dead Lion."— Bo says an old proverb of which we were forcibly reminded on reading the Hongkong Register" of] this morning. A correspondent in that Journal makes a savage attack upon our late Treasurer, Mr. Montgomery Martin, on what he terms the " internal evidence ” that certain sistemenza regard- ing this colony which appeared first in a Bombay paper and akerwarde in the "Register" were written by Mr. Martin. Had An Amateur Geologist" restricted himself to the legitimate exorcise of his privilege of edifying the world (of Hongkong) with | his knowledge of chemistry and geology, and en- deavoured to refute the matements put forth in the findian paper by proving them to be grounded upon error, we would have allowed his communication to pas unnoticed, akhough we do not assent to the correctness of his opinions. "An Amateur Geologia appests to have made his letter en introduction to postcript in which Mr. Martin is accused of base ness, and it is also hinted that he neglected the dutiesof his office whilst in this colony.

December 18th, 1845. Dear Sir,—Excuse the liberty 1am telting with you, in directing, you attention to the Government Notification in the "Mail" of this day.

It is neither my place as an acquaintance of Cap taim McIntyre's, nor yours as a Journalist to enter upon the explanations indirectly demanded in the concluding paragraph of the Notification. What I wish to direct your attention to is the insilious attack upon the unfortunato Officers of the "Castle Hunt- ly" that appears on the very face of the paragraph. Without comment, or remark in justification for adopting the opinion. H. E has thought it, to seize the opportunity, when giving publicity in an official form to the grateful acknowledgement of a ship wrecked crew for the kind třestineut they had re- ceived during a joumey of 600 miles sinong a peoyoars of age. Acquitted.

I am not aware whether the wreck occurred with that 40 British Bubjects have been abandoned by those whose duty it was to protect them" whether within the houndaries of his Government or not, would it not be more in keeping with the Reptesen tative of Her Majesty, and the principles of Chip- tian who has the power If he has the will, to take some incasures for their relief, inmond of seizing the opportunity that his position alone affords, him, of publicly casting roflections, without enquiry, as to their justice upon individuals who have hitherto borno unimpeachable characters.

This, is the second occasion that under the cloak of an Official doctament H. E. has published une formule statements-the attempt to asperso the cha Tacters of the merchants upon the vague report of a Junior Officer will not soon be forgotten tho' it has been looked upon with the silent comtempt that it deserves. The Officers of the "Castle Huntly" se poor wrecked mariners, having lost their all, rely ing upon good conscience and a just public, may also deem it more prudent to view the mis-statements of an individual, even tho' he be the depured head of the Colony, in the same light, and avoid'expensive law proceedings, but let His Excellency beware, the com- mission be holds from His Boveralgn, no more war: moted his king away the character than it does the life of an individual within his jurisdiction without dus enquire, end proof of his guik, and even to un invidious attack in a Government Notification ja not the punishment awarded by any of the Laws of England-be is, as amenable to the Law as a

The article in question, which purports to be a critique upon the "Statistical pipparison," has two thirds of it occupied with General D'Aguilar and his military buildings, which has no more en- 3ction with Me Montgomery Martin's opinions of Hongkong, than the mid beiklings bare with the new houses of parliament.

None of the sentences may appear severe, but in the present state of the colony severity is called for, and indeed (if not paradoxical) it becomes humanity. In the instance of the man who is to be executed, the proof was ml ficiently clear for a ouaviction, in addition to which, there was the dying declaration of the murdered man, which, sa the Chief Jus- tios observed to the Jury, though not upon oath, was, considering the peculiarly awful position in which he was placed, equivalent to an cath. There was not the slightest evidence against the prisoner Long Akoo:

The Major General has received mach credit for taking upon himself the responsibility of putting in the course of erection Barracks suitable to the cli mate, without waiting for the sanction of the home govenment. We subscribe to the option, that men in command, at times require su take the responsibili- ty of certain urgent measures upon themselves, and we consider that the immediate erection of good houses for the troops, Indian as well as European, was an urgent measure. We have therefore always been ready to acknowledge that the Major General in determining to build Barracks without the sang tion of the home government, gave a proof of his desire to protect the Soldiers from disease, at the

The Amateur throws down the gage, and challenges us to a controversy upon Chemistry and Geology! He must really excuse us, if we decline discussing subjects of which we know little, with a person who perhaps knows low. It may be, however, that in this onlight aned age. the schoolmaster has the shores of China. Some embryo Buckland or Ure, may be wasting his swedindas on the desert air. Though making no pretention to a great knowledge of Science, we are willing to encourage, in our small way, its ge- neral diffusion, and should an Amateur favor the public with a further communication, wo will leave him to the quiet immortality of the "Hongkong Register," provided he refrains from slandering the abecat, or the defencelem

The Government Notification which charges Captain MacIntyre with a dereliction of duty in loving part of his crew npoo the wreck of the Castle Huntly" has been received here, and is that a person in Iohn Davis' position should add Cantoo, with Čelings of regret and indignation to the distress of his countryman, by imputing to him orimo which cannot be substantiated, and minded person even to insinuata. Her Majesty' which could scuro-ly have occurred to any generous Superintendent of Trade in Chine, appears to have forgotten that principle ofjumice which declares, that all men are innocent until they are proved guilty,, or possibly he thinks it better to reverse the well known mazim, and in his official capacity, look

The Superintendent of trade has not:hmitated pa- blicly to censure the Captain, without any justifiable protext for doing so, but we would ask him to review the matter. It must bave been known to him at tho latest on the 14th Instant, that the " Castle Eluntly" was wrecked within four hundred mides of this co- lony, and that port of her crew were voluntarily left on the wreek, preferring the chance of aid being sent them, to the risk of a passage to the mainland in open boats during a hoary gale. It might have been expected that one of Her Majesty's ships woukl have been immediately despatched to rescue the crew, but no, this was not done. The only notice taken of their critical position, was an attack upon their unfortunate commander in an official Nmifica. tion. It is true, that after public attention was drawn to the matter, and disgust was expressed publicly and privately at the apathy displayed by the Cimile man who is the paid guardian of the interests of his fellow subjects in this quarter, the H. C. Steam vessel "Ploto" received orders to take in coels and pro- cood to the wreck, but she did not sil until the 22nd, week at losst being lost.
