THE CALENDAR FOR 1882.

Adjustment of the Calendar.

    Julius Cæsar was the first to attempt to adjust the length of the year with any degree of accuracy, and fixed it at 365 days 6 hours; introducing a day every fourth year (called leap year), which accordingly consists of 366 days, while the three others have only 365 days each.

From him it was called the Julian Year, and it continued in general use till the year 1582, when Pope Gregory XIII. undertook to rectify the error which then existed between the Julian year of 365 days and the solar year of 365-2422013 days. At that time the difference amounted to ten days; he accordingly commanded the ten days between the 4th and 15th October in that year to be struck out, so that the 5th day was called the 15th. This alteration has been introduced throughout Europe, except in Russia and by the Greek Church, and the year was afterwards called the Gregorian Year, or New Style.

    In England the method of reckoning after the New Style was not admitted into the Calendar till the year 1722, when the error amounted to nearly eleven days, which were taken from the month of September, by calling the 3rd of that month the 14th, and it was settled by Act of Parliament (24 Geo. II., 1751), that the years 1800, 1900, 2100, 2200, 2300, and every hundredth year of our Lord which shall happen in time to come, shall be computed as each consisting of 365 days only, excepting every fourth hundredth year, whereof the year 2009 should be the first.

By the same Act of Parliament the legal beginning of the year was changed from the 25th of March to the 1st of January, so that the succeeding mouths of January, February, and March up the 24th day, which by the Old Style would have been reckoned part of the year 1762, were accounted as the three first months of 1763,

which is the reason we sometimes meet with such a date as :-

March 10th, 1774-75.

That is, according to the Old Style it is 1774, according to the New 1775.

    The Solar Cycle, or Cycle of the Sun, is a period of 28 years, after which all the Dominical Letters return in the same order as they did during the 28 years before. The first year of the Christian Era is the tenth of this Cycle.

    The Lunar Cycle, or Cycle of the Moon, commonly called the Golden number, and sometimes the Metonic Cycle (from Meton, an Athenian philosopher, who invented it about 432 years before the birth of Christ), is a revolution of 19 years, in which time the conjunctions, oppositions, and other aspects of the Moon are within an hour and a half of being the same as they were on the same days of the months 19 years before. The Prime, or Golden number, is the number of years elapsed in this Cycle. Before the birth of Christ two years of this Cycle had elapsed.

The Roman indiction is a period of 15 years, and used by the Romans for the time of taxing their provinces. Three years of one of these Cycles had elapsed before the birth of Christ.

The Julian period contains 7980 years, and arises from multiplying together 28 19, and 15, being the Cycles of the Sun, Moon, and Indiction. This was contrived by Joseph Juste Scaliger, in 1583, for Chronological purposes, and is assumed as a fixed Era in calculations by all Astronomers and Chronologers throughout the Christian world. Its beginning is placed 710 years before the usual date of the creation of the world, or 4714 before the commencement of the Christian Era.

JEWISH.

      The festivals of the Jews are held weekly, monthly, and yearly. Each seventh and fiftieth year, moreover, is kept with peculiar solemnities.

- The weekly festival is the Sabbath, a day consecrated to rest and cheerfal devo- tion. It was instituted when God rested, on the seventh day, from the work of crea- tion, and the precept was renewed to the Hebrews in the wilderness of Sin (Ex. XVI.), ere yet the Decalogue had been given from Sinai. It is kept from sunset on Friday to sunset on Saturday.

The monthly festival is held on the day of the new moon, or the first day of every month, which is proclaimed by sound of trumpet; the law, however, did not oblige the people to rest on these days, though it appointed particular sacrifices.

      The Feast of the Passover, of Pentecost, and of Tabernacles, were the three principal festivals observed under the law, and they were times of real joy and festi- vity. As all the male inhabitants throughout the country were required on these

occasions to go up to Jerusalen, and the females also permitted to accompany them if they chose, the concourse was generally very great. These religious assemblies, besides commemorating important events in their history, also subserved other im portant purposes. They kept them steadfast to their religion, by the view of the core- monies and the majesty of the divine service; they afforded the means of religious instruction, for the law of God was then read and explained; and they served, more- over, to renew the acquaintance and friendship of tribes and families, who from all parts of the country thus met three times in the year in the holy city.

The PASSOVER is instituted to commemorate the departure out of Egypt, because on the night preceding that departure the destroying angel who slew the first-born of the Egyptians passed over the bouses of the Hebrews, they being marked with the blood of the lamb, which for this reason was called the Paschal Lamb. It was cele- brated on the fourteenth day of the first month of the ecclesiastical year. It com- mences on the evening of the 3rd of April and lasts seven days. A lamb, or a kid, without blemish, was killed, roasted, and eaten with unleavened bread and bitter herbs. The first Passover was eaten with their loins girded, their shoes on their feet, and their staves in their hands, that they might be in readiness for their journey, circumstances which were not observed in its celebration after the Exodus.

The Feast of PENTECOST, or WEEKS, is celebrated on the fiftieth day after the Passover, and is a feast of thanksgiving to the Lord, wherein they acknowledge his dominion over their country and their labours, by offering to him two loaves as the first fruits of all their harvest. It also commemorates the giving of the law from Mount Sinai, two years and fifty days after their departure from Egypt. The Hebrews counted seven weeks from the Passover, beginning on the second day of that solemnity, and hence called it the Feast of Weeks; but by the Christians it is called Pentecost, a name which signifies the Fiftieth Day. It was on the day of Pentecost that the Holy Spirit was poured out from the ascended Saviour upon his Apostles, endowing them with miraculous gifts for establishing the New Testament kingdom.

The Feast of TABERNACLES was instituted as a memorial of their fathers having dwelt in the tents for forty years, during the passage through the wilderness. It is kept in the first month of the civil year, falls on the evening of the 27th September, and finishes on the evening of the 6th October, and lasts eight days, the first and eighth being the most solemn. In former times during its continuance they lived in booths, tents, or arbours, constructed of the branches and leaves of trees.

These were the three Great Festivals at which all the males were required to go up to Jerusalem to worship. "Three times in a year shall all thy males appear be- fore the Lord thy God, in the place which he shall choose, in the Feast of Unleavened Bread, and in the Feast of Weeks, and in the Feast of Tabernacles."-Deut. xvI., 16, Ex. XXXIV., 23.

The Feast of TRUMPETS is celebrated on the first day of their civil year [14th Sept.], its commencement being proclaimed by sound of trumpet, and the day is kept solemn, all business being forbidden and certain sacrifices appointed to be offered.

   There are also two other feasts, though not appointed by law, which require notice, as they are often mentioned in Jewish history. The feast of DEDICATION WAS appointed to celebrate the re-establishment of Divine worship in Jerusalem, after Antiochus Epiphanes had been vanquished and the temple purified. It is observed for eight days, from the 25th of the third month [commences on the evening of the 5th December], and is also called the Feast of Lights, from the illuminations which the Jews make during these days in their houses.

   Poorim falls on the 14th and 15th of the sixth month [commences on the even- ing of the 4th March], and commemorates the defeat of Haman. On these days they give aims to the poor and presents to their friends on account of the lives of all the Jews having been saved by Esther, (it is therefore called "Feast of Esther") which happened on the 13th of the 6th month (civil year)-March.

The 10th of the first month of the civil year is the day of ATONEMENT, on which they observe a fast from 6 P.M. of the 9th to 7 P.M. of the 10th, and ask forgiveness for their sins. Other fasts were also instituted in later times, connected with the

siege of Jerusalem (10th of tenth month), the capture of the city (17th of the fourth month), the burning of the temple (9th of the fifth month), and the death of Gueda- liah (3rd of the first month) of the civil year.

     Every seventh year is to the Jews a Sabbatical year; and we find that Alexander the Great granted them an exemption from tribute on that year.

After seven weeks or Sabbath of years, that is, after seven times seven years, the great Festival of the JUBILEE was celebrated; and during the whole year they neither sowed nor reaped. On this fiftieth year every one resumed possession of his inheritance, whether it were sold, mortgaged, or alienated in any way, and Hebrew slaves of every description were set free, with their wives and children. Houses and edifices in walled towns were the only kind of property that did not return to the original owner in the year of the Jubilee.

MAHOMEDAN.

RAMAZAN. The Mahomedan fast commences each day throughout the month of this name, when the first streak of light borders the eastern horizon, and continues until the stars are clearly discerned in the beavens. During the whole of these hours not the slightest particle of food, not one single drop of water nor any other liquid, or smoke ever passes the lips. Each day during the fast is passed in occa- sional prayer, besides the usual nımaz, and in reading the Koran or lives of the pro- phets. The fast is broken by dates, in remembrance of the Prophet's family, whose great luxury was supposed to be the date of Arabia, and some cooling draught is added if required. The conclusion of the month Ramazan is celebrated as an Eed festival and is hailed with great rejoicing and merriment. In every house the same dainties are provided, every amusement that can be thought of is indulged in. In some houses the nautch girls are in the apartments of the gentlemen and the "domni" in those of the women.

EED KORBAN. In commemoration of Abraham offering up Ishmael; and this is the day on which they annually perform the Haj at Mecca. The followers of Mahomed claim to be descendants of Abraham through his son Ishmael, who, they aver, was chosen as the offering to the Almighty, and not Isaac, thus differing from the Jews and Christians, grounding their assertions on traditions which they deem conclusive evidence on the subject, in opposition to the authority of the Bible. The offering thus made is annually commemorated by the sacrifice of animals, such as camels, sheep, goats or lambs, according to each person's means, which answer the purpose of honouring the memory of Abraham and Ishmael. The followers of Ma- homed believe that the entrance to Paradise is guarded by a bridge as narrow as a scythe, or some such equally sharp instrument, affording a precarious and unstable footing. To enable them, therefore, to pass without danger, they believe that the animals they have sacrificed at the feast of Eed will be present to lend their aid to help them over in safety.

     MOHARRAM.-A celebrated mourning festival held annually in remembrance of the first martyrs of Mussulinans-Hussain and Hossein, the two sons of Fatima and Ali-from whom the whole race of Syads have descended. Hassain was poisoned by an emissary of the usurping Kalipha, and Hossein, the last victim of the descen- dants of the prophet's family, to King Yazid's (son of Maviah) fury, suffering a cruel death after the most severe trials on the plain of Kurbala, on the tenth day of the Arabian month of Moharram, the anniversary of which catastrophe is solemnised with the most devoted zeal. Hassain and Hossein were, as above stated, the two sons of Ali, by bis cousin Fatima, the daughter of Mahomed, and after the murder of their father by the contrivances of the then ruling Kalipba, they with their families removed from Shawn, the capital, to Medina. After residing there for several years, the people of Shawn, being tired of King Yazid's tyrannical rule, invited Hossein to return to the capital, and assume his lawful right as Iman (leader of the faithful). Before accepting this invitation, Hossein sent Moslem, bis cousin, as a messenger to report the true state of affairs to him; but on his arrival with his two sons at Shawn,

he was seized by order of King Yazid, and cast from a precipice, and his two sons were barbarously murdered, for the sake of the reward offered for their heads. This forins the subject of the ten days' bewailing during the Moharram. The Mahomedans are divided into distinct sects, called the Sunis and the Shias. The former regard Ali and his descendants as the lawful leaders after Mahomed, and the latter Ali and his descendants as fourth Kaliph or after the Kaliphah of Abubakr, Oomer, and Oosman, who died in the lifetime of Ali, and as the Shias are cursing Abubakr, Oomer, and Oosman, the Kaliphas, as Ábubakr, Omar, &c., hence quarrels, animosities, and dislikes are hoarded up to be avenged when opportunity offers. The festival begins on the first day of the moon (Moharramı), Tazias (a_term signifying grief, and applied to a representation of the mausoleum erected over the remains of Iman Hossein at Kurbalu), made of ivory, ebony, sandalwood, cedar, and some wrought in silver filigree, and indeed of every variety of material, from pure silver to bamboo and paper, according to the rank and wealth of the party, are exhibited in every direction, and conveyed in procession through the streets. Mourning assemblies are held morning and evening in the Imanbares by Shias, during the Moharram, and the bead priest or preacher recites a subject for each day's service from the various books composed on the subject descriptive of the lives and sufferings of Hassain and Hossein. The Marsiah, a poetical composition of great merit, and embracing the whole of the subject they commemorate, is charted with great effect; the names of their lawful leaders are recounted with blessings, and those of the Kaliphas with curses. Then comes the procession of Dhal Dhal-Hossein's horse killed at Kurbala, beautifully caparisoned; and finally the Tazias are deposited with funeral rites in the public burial grounds, when the Moharram ceases. The Tabut is a slight framework of bamboo and tinsel. These structures vary considerably in size and appearance, according to the taste and ability of those who build them. Before these Tabuts incense is burned and various other rites are performed. The Tabuts, it is said, are peculiar to India. They are not mentioned in the Koran, nor are they built by the inhabitants of Persia and Arabia, Many Mahomedans regard them with strong disapprobation, both Shias and Sunis. In Bombay a portion of the Mahomedans and Hindoos unite in building the Tabuts. These are taken out, and, accompanied with music, carried in procession through the Bhendy Bazaar, from midnight of the ninth until three o'clock of the morning of the tenth day, and from twelve to six o'clock on the afternoon of the same day, on their way to the beach in Back Bay, where the greater part of the Tabuts, after being stripped of whatever is of value, are cast into the sea. The practice of building Tabuts seems to be losing ground in Bombay, a portion of those who formerly united in this having adopted the views of those opposed to such things. Mahomedans, especially Sunis of India, who do not unite in building the Tabuts, are accustomed to go on this occasion to the mosques for ten successive nights to listen to the account of the death of Hossein. Their demonstrations of grief, however, are not equal to those of the Moguls and Persians (because Mabomedans are forbidden to weep aloud), who while listening to the recital, weep aloud, and smite violently upon their breast. In Bombay there is, strictly speaking, no representation of the battle which was fought previous to the death of Hossein. Some two or three horsemen bearing flags enter the large yard adjoining the Imanbares with loud wailing, and are followed by two horses caparisoned to represent those which were kept for the use of the fallen Hossein. One person on horseback, with a long sword apparently run through the head and covered with blood, joins in the wailing. A female infant, in deep mourning, sitting at the door of a small mausoleum, which is carried on the shoulders of men, constantly cast ashes or cut-straw upon her head, in token of grief. These pass round in a circle, accompanied or followed by a company on foot who beat upon their breast, crying, "Hai Hossein! Hai Hossein!" Sometimes, a person represented in a dying state, his body covered with wounds and blood, and darts and daggers run into it, is carried about in procession. It would seem that this festival is now celebrated with less effort and effect than formerly. It is entirely disapproved by the Sunis.

PARSEE FESTIVALS AND OBSERVANCES.

PARSEE.

37

     The Parsees of India are divided into two sects-the "Shanshahis " or "Rasmis," and the "Kudmis" or "Churigars," the former of whom constitute the larger portion of the race.

This division originated only about a hundred and fifty years ago, when a learned Persian priest, named Jamasp, arrived in India, and found that his co-religionists differed from their brethren of Iran in their calculation of time by a full month, and in other minor points relating to their "Liturgy." Serious disputes arose in consequence, which ended in the formation of the two sects, the Shanshahis adhering to their own views, and the Kudmis adopting the opinions imported by Jamasp, thus agreeing with their Persian brethren. Notwithstanding this division, no estrangement exists between them in their social intercourse. The difference lies only in their computation of time, and in some slight variations in their form of prayer. Intermarriage is allowed as well as admission to each other's places of worship.

The festivals of the Parsees are celebrated with little or no outward pomp. Their holidays are mostly occupied in prayers in the morning, and festivities and rejoicing during the rest of the day. Some of their religious institutions are traced to a very ancient period. The festival of the Nowroz dates from upwards of three thousand years before Christ, and is kept to this day by most of the nations of Western Asia, notwithstanding the difference of creed. The Emperor Akbar adopted the "Nowroz" and fourteen other festivals of the Parsees for the observance of those who were attached to his favourite doctrines of the "Ilahi faith," or the "Religion of God," which he fruitlessly endeavoured to introduce among the people.

"

PAPETI, OR NEW YEAR'S DAY.-Among the festivals observed by the Parsees, the first and most universally kept is the Papeti, or new year's day. On this day the Parsees rise early, and dress themselves in new suits of clothes, and those piously disposed say their prayers in their private residences or visit their friends and rela- tives, when the "Hama-jor or joining of hands is performed; this ceremony is a sort of greeting corresponding to the European fashion of wishing each other a happy new year. Their friends and relations are invited to breakfast. The morning thus occu- pied, they spend the rest of the day in their country houses or clubs, where feasting and rejoicings are kept up till a late hour. Alms are also given to the poor in the course of the day, and new suits of clothes are presented to servants and dependents. The ancient Persians reckoned a new era from the accession of each successive monarch, and as Yezdezerd, of the Sassanian dynasty, was their last King, when dethroned by Caliph Omar about A.D 640, the date of his accession to the throne has been brought down to the present time, thus making their current year 1254-55.

     In their calculation of the year only 365 days are allowed; leap year is unknown to them, though there are records which prove that in every 120 years one month was added to make it correspond with the solar year.

"

     The year is divided into twelve months, of 30 days each, and five days, or "Gathas as these are named, added at the end to make up the deficiency. These five Gatha days are held as the most sacred in the year, and those piously disposed spend them solely in prayers.

KHURDAD-SAL.-The second of the Parsee festivals is the "Khurdad-Sal" day, or the anniversary of the birth of their prophet Zoroaster, who, they say, was born in the city of Reh, in the North of Persia, in the reign of Darius Hystapis, about 520 years before Christ. Heeren places the birth of this celebrated personage about 1,200 years anterior to this. Parsees themselves differ as to the exact time of the birth of their prophet; a part of them fix the period at B.C. 389, others at B.C. 538. Religious ceremonies are performed in the morning by the women of the family and the priests; the men, as usual on such occasions, limiting themselves to private prayers.

     AMURDAD SAL.-This holiday, which falls on the day immediately after the preceding festival, appears to have no origin in the books of the Parsees. It is merely kept up as the continuation of the "Khurdad Sal; no religious ceremonies are required, and the day is always spent in the enjoyment of pleasures.

attend on the hills at Chaopatty (Bombay), where their " dockmas," or silence are situated, and there perform prayers for the dead, in honour of their memory. The Parsees are enjoined by their religion to preserve the memory of their dead by annual religious ceremonies performed in the house; but such of their friends as die on long voyages or in unknown places, and the date of whose death cannot be positively ascertained, are, according to the terms of their religion, honoured by sacred rites on this day. The ceremony consists in a man or woman preparing small round pieces of baked bread, called darans, which are put on a tray or other copper vessel, along with the fruits and flowers, over which the priest per- forms the prayers of the Baj, or "Vaj," as it is called by M. Anquetil du Perron in his "Zend Avesta." According to the translation published by this learned French- mau, the Baj is an invocation of the names of the departed, and of such of the angels as have a direct control over the souls of the dead after their departure from this world. Prayers of this sort are still performed among the Hindus and the Mahomedans, and are not unknown in the Roman Catbolic countries of Europe.

   ARDIBEREST JASAN.-This festival, as its name implies, is maintained in honour of Ardibehest Amshaspoud, the angel controlling the sacred fire, that element being one of the wonders of divine creation. The fire-temples are crowded on this day, sandalwood is offered to the sacred flame, and prayers offered to the Supreme Deity.

THE NOWROZ.-The fifth on the list is the celebrated Nowroz, called by some the Nowroz-í-Jamshid or the Nowroz-i-Sultan, the King's day. This celebrated festival fails generally about the 21st day of March, and corresponds with our Vernal Equinox. This day is observed by the modern Persians, the Arabs, the Turks, and several other Asiatic nations for the computation of the solar year, and for State purposes, such as the collection of revenue, and the arrangements for the agricultural operations of the year. Eastern writers date the origin of this festival from the time of Jamshid, the third King of the Peshdadian dynasty of Persia. Jamshid is sup- posed by Bailly to have flourished 3,209 years before Christ; the Shah Namah cele- brates him as the first King of bis race, who introduced civilisation among mankind and established the computation of time. If we are to believe the Persian writers, the exquisite bas-reliefs among the ruins of Persepolis-still visible in beauty after a lapse of two thousand years-are representations of the Court of Jamshid, more es- pecially on the festival of the Nowroz. The sculptures at this place contain repre- sentations of the Courts of ancient Persia, with the long train of attendants bringing fferings to the feet of monarcbs; and as the Nowroz is a sort of "revenue settle- ment" day, when the chiefs of different provinces lay their annual contributions before the throne, and are allowed audience with the mouarch, the idea of a part of the Persepolitan bas-reliefs being a picture of some ancient King of Persia holding his Court on the day of the Nowroz does not appear to be without foundation. In Persia this festival is kept for several days with unusual pomp by all the inhabit- ants, whether Mahomedans or Parseos. In India it is simply a day of rejoicing.

AVA ARDUI SUr Jasan.-Ava, in the Zend text, is the name of the angel who presides over the sea, and this " Jasan, or festival, is held in his honour. The Parsees are required on this day to approach the sea shore, or any stream of water, and chant the Zend prayers, but owing to their long residence in India they bave Forrowed many Hiudu rites in the observance of this holiday, and offerings of sugar, cocoanuts, flowers, &c., to the sea, are not uncommon. The better-informed portion of the community, however, do not join with their brethren in these superstitious

  In Bombay a fair is held on the Esplanade in honour of this festival. ADAR JASAN.-Adar, another synonym for fire, is the name by which the ninth opth of the Parsee vear is called. This is the most sacred of the twelve months, and the mint lay of that month is held in great respect and sanctity. On this day the fire temples are very much crowded, and offerings of sandalwood are made to the sacred flame, and noney distributed among the priests.

WEIGHTS AND MEASURES, MONEY.

CHINESE.

WEIGHTS.

Chinese weights are mostly decimal. Although English weights and measures are used to a considerable extent in trade with foreigners, being legalised in Hongkong for that purpose, the following are also recognised by Ordinance 22 of 1844:-

or cash or candareen

10 lit 10 fan

1 li = 1 fan

10 tsin 4

1 tsin = 1 leung

or mace

or tael

16 leung

=

or catty

100 kan

= 1 tàm, or picul

1 kan,

120 kan = 1 shek, or stone

= '0013 oz. avoir.

·0133 oz. avoir. ⚫1333 oz. avoir.

1 oz. avoir.* 1 lb. avoir. 133 lb. avoir. 160 lb. avoir.

The words candareen, mace, tael, catty, picul, are not Chinese.

Almost all commodities, even liquids, are sold by the above weights amongst Chinese.

MEASURES.

English measures are legal, but so are also the following Chinese :

10 fan'

10 tsün}

1 tsün, 1 chek,

or inch or foot

10 chek = 1 ch'eung or fathom

The Treaty of Tientsin fixes the ch'eung

1 li, or mile

= about 1.41 English inch. about 14.1 English inch. 4 yards (nearly). at 141 English inches. mile English.

10 li = 1 pò, or league 2 miles English (about).

:-

Land is measured by the mau or acre, equal to about of an English acre.

MONEY.

    This is almost entirely represented by weights of silver, a counts being kept in leung, tsin, fan, and li (taels, mace, and candareens) as given above. Their values may be taken to be the following

1 li

or cash+

.06d. or d.

1 fan or candareen = .6d. or id.

I tsin or muce 1 leung or tael

6d.

58.

Not one of these weights is represented by any coin, unless we may take the cash to represent the value of a li of silver.

Silver is used uncoiued, in ingots or shoes, sometimes called sycee; small sums are paid in what is called broken silver. At the Ports this generally consists of the fraginents of Mexican or Spanish dollars, bammered to pieces by the Shroffs in their process of chopping. This broken silver is weighed by means of small steel-yards called li-tang.

    Cash may be said to be the only coin of China. The Chinese call them tsin. They are bronze coins, not unlike thin farthings with a square hole in the centre for stringing together. The Hongkong Government cash or mils are smaller, and the hole is round. The value of cash fluctuates greatly, and is very much a matter of bargain. About 1,200 to a Mexican dollar is an average quotation.

HONGKONG MONEY.

A legal tender in Hongkong consists of Bank notes of one of the chartered banks; Hongkong or Mexican dollars; 20, 10, or 5 cent silver pieces to an amount not exceeding two dollars; or bronze cents or mils to an amount not exceeding one dollar. Spanish and South American dollars are also in circulation, as well as Spanish quarter dollars, American half and quarter dollars, shillings, sixpences, francs, the Japanese silver coinage (at present at a discount of about ten per cent. that of Hongkong), and the 10 and 20 cent pieces of the Straits Settlements, which are accepted indifferently with those of Hongkong.

on

1 candareen,

The value of the dollar during 1881 was from 38. 8d. to 3s. 9d. sterling. Mexican dollars weighed at 7.1.7. mean coins which contain 7 mace, and 7 li of silver (see weights given above). Clean coins of this weight command a premium, lighter ones are taken at a discount.

• The Tael actually in use is 1.351 os.

† The li when representing weight is never spoken of as a caab, but probably the original value of a cash was 1 di of pure silver.

WEIGHTS ANd measureS, MONEY.

The Hongkong bronze coinage is always more or less at a discount, which has sometimes been as high as 30 per cent. in the case of cents, and 50 per cent. in the case of cash. Servants avail themselves of this discount to make a profit whenever they are entrusted with silver for purchasing anything that can be paid for in copper.

The standard of weight being the coin of the country, weights are designated by the same terms. A Tical weighs 236 grains Troy.

    The Siamese standard of weight is just double that of the Chinese, and goods are bought and sold in Bangkok more by the Chinese than the Siamese standard.

HONGKONG.

     This, the most eastern of British possessions, is situate off the coast of the Kwantung province, at the mouth of the Canton river. It's distant about 40 miles from Macao and 90 from Canton, and lies between 22 deg. 9 min. and 22 deg. 1 min. N. lat., and 114 deg. 5 min. an 114 deg. 18 min. E. long. The name of the island (Hong Kong) signifies Good Harbour. Hongkong is a Crown Colony and was ceded to Great Britain by the Chinese Government in 1841. The Government is admi- nistered by a Governor, aided by an Ex cutive Council of five officials. The Legis- lative Council is presided over by the Governor, ant is composed of the Chief Justice, the Colonial Secretary, the Attorney-General, the Treasurer, and four unofficial members nominated by the Crown on the recommendation of the Governor.

The island is about 11 miles long and from 2 to 5 broad; its circumference is about 27 miles. It consists of a broken ridge of loity hills, with few valleys of any extent and scarcely any ground available for cultivation. It is well watered by numerous streams, many of which are perennial, and from the waterworks at Pok- folum water of excellent quality but in limited quantity is supplied to all parts of the city of Victoria.

     The harlour of Hongkong is one of the finest and most beautiful in the world, having an area of ten square miles, and with its diversified scenery and variel ship ping, presents an animated and imposing spectacle. It consists of the sheet of water between the island and the mainland, and is enclosed on all sides by lofty hills, unfortunately bare of foliage, except where trees have be n planted near the city, but pleasingly green during the south-west monsoon. An extensive scheme of afforesta tion has, however, lately been commenced. The City of Victoria is magnificently situated, the houses, many of them large and handsome, rising, tier upon tier, from the water's edge to a height of several hundred feet on the face of the Peak, while several bungalows are visible on the very summit of the hills. Seen from the water at night, when lamps twinkle among the trees and bouses, the city, spreading along the shor for upwards of four miles, affords a sight not to be forgotten.

     Nor on landing are the favourable impressions of the stranger dissipated. The city is well built, the roals and stree:s are for the most part admirably male and kept, the Public Є ardens almost unrivalled for their beauty, and many of the thoroughfares delightfully shaded with well grown trees. The chief public building is the City Hall, erected in 1866-9 by subscription; it contains an elegant theatre, numerous large rooms used for balls and public meetings, an excellent and valuable Library, and & Museum yearly increasing in importance. The Government Offices, Supreme Court House, and Club are plain but sub tartial structures. Government Hou e occupics a commanding situation, in picturesque grounds pleasingly laid out, in tl e centre of the city. The Gaol is a large and massive structure, but the accommodation afforded by it is not in excess of the large demands made on it, owing to the inroads of the criminal population of Kwangtung being so constant and persevering. The Civil Hospital is a large but plain building in Taipingshan. The Government Central School, a most important institution, having some six hundred pupils, is very badly housed at present. The Tung Wa Hospital, a Chinese institution, occupies a large and roomy building. The barracks for the garrison are lage, and constructed with great regard to the health and comfort of the troops, and the buildings belonging to the Navel Establishment are substantial and spacious. The Central Market is a dirty and inconvenient place, which is entirely given up to the natives owing to its repulsive condition. The Praya wall, which was reconstructed in 1879-80, is a work of much solidity and strength, reflecting the greatest credit on the Survey Depart- ment. It is faced with large blocks of hewn granite and backed with concrete, and

presents a good effect from the water. The Clock Tower, near Peddar's Wharf, was crected by public subscription in 1862, and the illuminated clock was presented to the Colony by the firm of Messrs. Douglas Lapraik & Co.

     The chief religious buildings are: S. John's Cathedral (Anglican), which occupies a commanding site above the Parade Grund, and is a G-this churel of considerable size but with few pretensions to architecture. It has a square tower, with pinnacles, over the western porch, and possesses a peal of bells. A bandsome stained window in the east end, over the altar, is the chief adornment of the interior. S. Peter's (Seamen's) Church, at West Point, close to the Sailors' Home, is a neat Gothic erection with a spire. It also has a stained glass window, presented in 1878. S. Stephen's (native) Church, in Taipingsha, is a plain building with a bell turret. Union Church is a pleasing edifice in the Italian style of architecture, with a spire, and contains accommodation for about 500 persons. The Roman Catholic Cathedral, in Wellington Street, is a remarkably plain but commodious structure with small twin domes. A site has been secured and plans made for a new Gothic building of much more imposing appearance and dimensions. S. Joseph's Church, in Guden Road, is a neat edifice erected in 1876 on the site of one destroyed by the great typhoon of 1874; and there are several smaller Catholic mission churches, There is also a Jewish Synagogue in Hollywood Road, and a Mahomedan Mosque in Mosque Street. The Roman Catholics possess a Reformatory for Chinese boys and several charitable and educational i stitutions, which are very efficiently managed. Other denomination s likewise support establishments of the same char setor, conspicuous among which are the Diocesan Home and Orphanage, the Gemau Foundling House, Baxter Verna- cular School, &c.

    The Protestant, Rowan Catholic, Parsee, an! Mahomedan Cemeteries occ, py sites in Wong-nai Chung Vall y, and are kept in good order. The Protestant Ceme- tery is almost a rival to the Public Gardens, being admirably laid out and charming- ly situated.

    There are several Clubs in the Colony. The principal are the Hongkong Club, the Club Germania, and the Lusitano Club. There is a Recreation Club, which possesses Bath and Boat houses on the Prava near the Cricket Ground, a Cricket Club, and a Yacht Club, all kept up with considerable spirit.

    The annual races are held at the latter end of February on the Race Course in Wong-nai Chung Valley, at the east end of the town, a beautiful sp t enclosed by fir-clad bills. On this occasion the whole colony makes holiday, and the stands and course are crowded with one of the most motley collections of humanity to be seen in auy part of the world. Most of the races are run with North China ponies, and there is generally good sport. A regatta is held in December in the barbour, but it does not evoke the same enthusiasm as the races. Atletic Sports are also got up every year by te garrison, and occasional swimming matches and boat races take place. There is an Amateur Dramatic Club, the m mbers of which give several performances in the City Hall Theatre during the season; and the Choral Society also provides a series of entertainments. In addition to the attempts made by the colonists to provide amusements, itinerant companies frequently visit Hongkong, and give performances.

    There is excellent Dock accommodation for the largest vessels. The Hongkong and Whampoa Dock Company, Limited, have three ext nsive establishunts, two at Kowloon, the other at Aberdeen. The Docks of this company are fitted with all appliances for engineering and carpenter's work, and are seidom empty. At the Aberde n docks the argest ironclads and mail s eamers can be and are frequently docked. There are other establishment at which ship-building is carried on, aud some gool-sized steamers have been launched in the Colony. Her Majesty's Naval Yard likewise contains machine sheds and fitting shops on a large scale, and repairs can be effected to the machinery of the British meu-of war with great expedition.

    There are few good hotels in the Colony. The chief establishm nts are the Hongkong Hotel, close to the Clock Tower, and the Stag, in Queen's Road, both of which are centrally situat d and provide good accommodation for travellers.

There are three daily papers published in English, the Hongkong Daily Press, which appears in the morning, the China Mail, issued in the evening, and the Hongkong Telegraph, a small paper published in the afternoon. There are also two fortnightly papers, which are published on the morning of the departure of the English mail, namely, the China Överland Trade Report (the commercial journal of the Far East), and the Overland China Mail. The Hongkong Catholic Register is a religious paper published weekly. The Chronicle and Directory for China, Japan, &c., app ars annually, an is issued from the Daily Press office. The China Review, which is devoted to reviews and papers on Chinese topics, is published once every two months. The native Press is represented by three daily pa ers-the Chung Ngoi San Po, which is the oldest, published at the Daily Press Office; the Wa Tsz Yat Po, or Chines Mail; and the Taun Wan Yat Po, or Universal Circulating Herald. There is also a bi-weekly called Kam Sz 1ing Luk. The Government Gazette is published once a week.

     Manufactures are represented by two large sugar refineries, the China and the Wanchai, a Distillery, and some native factories. Among the industries pursued by the Chinese are glass blowing, vermillion manufacture, tanning, dyeing; bean curd, tooth-powder, match, eigar and tobacco making, &c.

There are several villages on the island, the larg st of which is Shau-ki Wan, situate in a bay in the Li-ü Mun Pass. Aberdeen, on the south of the island possesses a well sheltered little harbour, much frequented by fishing craft. Two large docks of the Hongkong and Whampoa Dock Company are situated there, and add to the importance of the place. Pokfolum, on the road to Aberdeen, about four miles from Victoria, is a place of resort for European residents in the hot w ather, and some elegant bungalows have been erected in pleasant and picturesque situations, commanding fine sea views and cool breezes. The sanitarium of the French Missions is located at Pokfolum, and is a fine building with an elegant chapel attached. Stanley, situated in a small bay on the south-east of the island, was once the site of a military station, but the barracks were pulled down a few years back, and the village is stagnant. There are good carriage roads from Victo: ia both to Aderdeen and Shau-ki Wan, and a bridle road to Stanley. A good bridle road leads up to the summit of Victoria Peak, with other paths branching off from it along the adjoining.bills. Within the past three years the number of bungalows on and about the Peak has increased so much that they now form quite an alpine village.

    Across the harbour is the dependency of British Kowloon. This peninsula was ceded to Great Britain in 1861. It has an area of four square miles, and, though formerly a most arid and desolate strip of land, has latterly made considerable pro- gress. Yau-ma Ti, the principal village, has latterly increased in population, and bids fair to b come an important town. A number of European houses and a club have been erected and numerous gardens laid out at Tsim-sha Tsui, which place is much resorted to by the British and foreign residents. Steam ferries ply regularly between this place, Yau-ma Ti, and Victoria.

    The total population of the Colony of Hongkong, according to the census of 1881, was 160,402, showing an increase of 21,258 since 1876, when the preceding census was taken. The European community was larger by 273, but this increase was in women and children among the British, German, and Portuguese residents. The male adult population had decreased. The total population of the city of Vic- toria was returned at 141,494; that of Kowloon at 9,021; of Shau-ki Wan 3,274; of Aberdeen 1,305; and Stanley 829. The rest of the population is distributed among the smaller villages and the boat population other than in Victoria harbour. The total British and foreign population numbered 7,990, but the residents proper are returned at 3,040, the former figures including the naval and military estabi shments, polic, shipping in harbour, and temporary residents. The Indians and others of nixed blood numbered 1,722.

    Hongkong formerly enjoyed a most unenviable no'oriety for unhealthiness, and in years past the troops garrisoned here undoubtedly suffered severely. A great deal of the sickness in the early days of the Colony was caused by excavating and other-

wise disturbing the disintegrated granite of which the soil of the island mainly con- sists, and which appears to throw off malarious exhalations when upturned. At the present time, however, the Colony is one of the heal biest spots in the world in the same latitude, and when the ignorance of newcomers respecting the climate, the rashness and excesses of seamen,; and the squalor and the crowded condition of the Chine

ese quarter of the town are consider d, the mortality is by no means excessive. The annual death rate per 1,000 for the whole population in 1880 was 28.71, for the British and foreign population, 16.71, or deducting non-residents, 15.95. The arnual average rain all is 71.54 inches, while the average annual range of the thermometer is from 43 deg. to 89 deg.

    The finances of the Colony have for several years gone on improving, and the estimated revenue for 1882 is $1,121,860, while the expenditure is estimated at $1,051,614.

    Hongkong is a free port, and it is therefor impossible to give any return of its imports and exports. During the year 1880 the ollowing tonnage entered and cleared with cargoes:-

There also entered in ballast 7,380 vessels, with 461,252 tous, and cleared 6,239 vessels with 549,013 t ns. The total shows an increase as compare with the pre- vious year of 63,177 tons. There is a steady yearly increase in the steamer tonnage, and a corresponding falling-off in that of sailing ships.

    The trade chiefly cousists in opium, sugar, salt, flour, oil, cotton gods, earthen- ware, amber, ivory, sandalwood, betel, vegetables, grani'e, &c., &c. The bulk of the European trade of China and Japan pass s through this port.

Hongkong poss sses unrivalled steam communication. The Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company and the Messageries Maritimes convey the European mail weekly, the Pacific Mail Company and the Occidental and Oriental Steamship Company maintain a mail service with San Francisco, and the Eastern and Australian Steamship Cou pany and some outside steamers keep up a pretty frequ ni but irregular service with the Australian Colenies. In addition to all tɛese, sɔveral great lines of merchaut steamers maintain regular communication between Lorden, Liverpool, and Hongkong, of which the Ocean Steamship Company and the Glen and Castle lines are the most conspicuous. The Austro-Hungarian Loyd's steamers also run from Trieste to Hongkong. The Netherlands Indian Steain Navigation Company now maintain direct monthly communication between Java and Hongkong. Between the ports on the east coast of China and Hongkong the steamers of Messrs. Douglas Lapraik & Co. ply regularly twice a week, and there is constant steau com- munication with Hoihow, Manila, Saigon, Haiphong, Bangkok, &c. With Sungai and the ports of Japan there is frequent communication in addition to the mail steamers, which leave weekly, while the steamers of the Mitsu Bishi Mail Steamship Company run fortnightly between Kobe and Hongkong. Between Hongkong, Macao, and Canton there is a daily steam service. The telegraphic communication of the Colony extends to nearly every part of the world.

MACAO.

       Macao is situated in 22 deg. 11 min. 30 sec. N. latitude, an1 113 deg. 32 mila. 30 sec. E. longitude, on a rocky peninsula, renowned, long before the Portuguvse settled on it, for its safe harbour for junks and small vessels. The Portuguese, who had already settled on the island of Limpacao, and frequented for trading purposes Chin-chew, Lianpo, Tamo, and Sin-choan (St. John's island, where St. Francis Xavier died) first took up their residence at Macao in 1557. Soon after their arrival pirates and adventurers from the neighbouring islands continually molested them. The Chinese authorities were powerless to cope with these mirauders, who went so far as to blockade the port of Ċinton. The Portuguese manned and armed a few vessels and succeeded in raising the blockade of Cinton and clearing the seas. The town of Macao soon afterwards began to rise, and during the eighteenth century trade flourished wonderfully, the difficulty of residence at Canton greatly contributing towards it. The East India Company and the Dutch Company had establishments there.

Historians are divided in opinion as to whether the possession of Macao by the Portuguese is due to Imperial bounty or to right of conquest. There can be no doubt, however, that it was held at a rental of 500 taels a year until Governor Ferreira do Amaral in 1843 refused to pay it any longer and forcibly drove out the Hoppo or Chinese Customs-house, and with it every vestige of Chinese authority. This bold stroke cost him his life in August, 1849, for he was waylaid and barbarousiy mar- dered near the Burrier of Porta do Cerco and his head was taken to Cɩntoù, Ọn the Chinese troops at the Barrier showing fight and massing in great numbers, the Portuguese troops gallantly advanced, took the fort of Passaleä, and drove the Chinese from their positions.

The settlement is separated from the large island of Heang-shan by a wall drawn across the nock of land from shore to shore. Two principal ranges of hills, one running from south to north, the other from east to west, mɩy be considered as forming an angle, the base of which leans upon the river or anchoring place. The public and private buildings, a cathedral, and several churches, are raised on the declivities, skirts, and heights of hillocks. On the lofty mount eastward, colled Charil, is a fort, enclosing the hermitage of Na. Sra. de Guia, and westward is Nillau, on the top of which stands the hermitage of N. Sra. de Ponha; entering a wide semi-circular bay, which faces the east, on the right hand stands the fort Sin Francisco; and on the left, that of Na. Sra. de Bɔm Parto. Seen from the roads or from any of the forts crowning the several hillocks, Macao is extremely picturesque. The public and private buildings are gaily painted and the streets kept very clean.

        Since the cossion of the island of Hongkong to the British, the trade of Macao has decreased considerably, and the coolie trade gave it an unenviable notoriety. This traffic, pregnant with abuses, was happily abolished in 1874. Tea continues to be an article of export, showing the value of fro: $700,000 to $800.000 a year. Essential oils are also exported to some extent. There is likewise some trade in opium.

The terrific typhoon of the 23rd September, 1874, which swept across Hongkong and the Southern C›ast of China with such force, laid a considerable part of Moao in ruins. During the full violence of the wind, and fearful rise of the tide, a fire took ɔlace which consund the best houses in the parish of Sinto Antonio. With its rade gone and consequent departure of many of its residents, the activity of the place is a thing of the past. Owing to its pleasant climate and the quietude always prevailing, Macao has become the refuge of invalids and hard toiling people from Hongkong and other neighbouring ports.

MACAO.

In the town there are several places of interest apart from the Fan-tan or gam- bling saloons. The gardens and Grotto of Camoens, once the resort of the celebrated Portuguese Poet Camoens, are worth seeing, as also the noble facade of the ancient Jesuit church of San Paulo, burnt in 1835. Pleasant excursions can be made to the Hot Springs of Yô-mak, about sixteen miles from Macao, easily reached in about three and a-half hours by steam launch. In winter snipe are plentiful in the neighbouring paddy fields and afford good sport. The "Macao Hotel," situated on the Praia, is comfortable and the prices are moderate.

   The Hongkong, Canton, and Macao Steamboat Company runs a daily steamer (Sundays excepted) between Macao and Hongkong, leaving the former port at 8 o'clock a.m. and Hongkong at 2 p.m. To Canton thero is a steamer on every altermate day, Sundays excepted. The distance from Macao to Hongkong is 40 miles, and to Canton 88 miles. The population of Macao, according to returns made in 1879, was-Chinese, 63,532; Portuguese, 4,476; other nationalities, 78; or a total of 68,086.

REIGNING SOVEREIGN AND FAMILY.

Kuang Su, Emperor of China, is the son of Prince Ch'un, the seventh son of the Emperor Tao Kuang; hencris cousin to the late Emperor Tung Chi, who died without issue on the 12th day January, 1875, from small-pox.

    The proclamation ann ng the accession of the present sovereign was as follows:-"Whereas His Majesty the Emperor has ascended upon the Dragon to be a guest on high, without offspring börn to his inheritance, no course has been open but that of causing Tsai-Tien, son of the Prince of Ch'un, to become adopted as the son of the Emperor Wêng Trung Hien (Hien Fung) and to enter upon the inheritance of the great dynastic line as Emperor by succession. Therefore, let Tsai-Tien, son of Yih Huan, the Prince of Ch'un, become adopted as the son of the Emperor Wên Tsung Hien, and enter upon the inheritance of the great dymastic line as Emperor by succes sion." The present sovereign is the ninth Emperor of China of the Tartar dynasty of Ta-tsing, (Sublime Parity) which succeeded the native dynasty of Ming in the year 1644. There exists no law of hereditary succession to the throne, but it is left to each sovereign to appoint his successor from among the members of his family. The late Emperor, dying suddenly, in the eighteenth year of his age, did not designate a successor, and it was in consequence of a palace intrigue, directed by the late Empres Dowager, widow of the Emperor Hien Fung, predecessor of Tung Chi, in concert with Prince Ch'un, that the infant son of the latter was declared Emperor and another long Regency, prolonging the rule of the two Empresses Dowager, inaugurated.

GOVERNMENt and Revenue.

    The fundamental laws of the empire are laid down in the Ta-taing Huei-tien, or Collected Regulations of the Great Pure Dynasty, which prescribe the government of the State as based upon the government of the family. The Emperor is spiritual as well as temporal sovereign, and, as high priest of the Empire, can alone, with bis immediate representatives and ministers, perform the great religious cere- monies. No ecclesiastical hierarchy is maintained at the public expense, nor any priesthood attached to the Confucian or State religion.

"

    The administration of the empire is under the supreme direction of the Interior Council Chamber, comprising four members, two of Tartar and two of Chinese origin, besides two assistants from the Han lin, or Great College, who have to see that nothing is done contrary to the civil and religious laws of the empire, contained in the Ta-tsing Huei-tien, and in the sacred books of Confucius. These members are denominated Ta Hsio-sz, or Ministers of State. Under their orders are the Li Pu or six boards of government, each of which is presided over by a Tartar and Chinese. They are:-(1) The board of civil appointment, which takes cognisance of the conduct and administration of all civil officers; (2) The board of revenues, regulating all financial affairs; (3) The board of rites and ceremonies, which enforces the laws and customs to be observed by the people; (4) The military board, superintending the administration of the army; (5) The board of public works; and (6).The bigh tribunal of criminal jurisdiction. To these must be added the Tsung-li Yamên, or board of foreign affirs. Independent of the Government and theoretically above the central administration, is the Tu-cha Yuan, or board of public censors. It consists of from 40 to 50 members, under two presidents, the one of Tartar and the other of Chinese birth. By the ancient custom of the empire, all the members of this board are privileged to present any remonstrance to the sovereign. One censor must be pre- sent at the meetings of each of the six government boards.

    The estimates of the public revenue of China vary greatly, and, while they are stated by some to exceed 100 millions sterling, are held by others not to come up to half that amount. Official returns of the Chinese Government, published in 1844, stated the annual revenue at that time at Tls. 191,803,139, or £63,934,713. Accord- ing to the memorials from officials published in the Peking Gazette, it would appear that there are almost constant deficits, which the governors and high officials of pro-

vinces must cover by extraordinary taxation. Occasionally the Treasury is replenished by a liberal sale to their relatives of posthumous honours to the departed and of decora- tions to the living. The public revenue is mainly derived from three sources, namely, customs duties, licences, and a tax upon land, but the receipts from the foreign customs are alone made known. According to the returns published by the Govern- ment, the total receipts from foreign customs were as follow in each of the fourteen years from 1867 to 1880:-

China had no foreign debt till the end of 1874. It was announced on December 30th, 1874, that the Government had contracted a loan of £627,675, bearing 8 per cent. interest. The loan was issued at 95 per cent. through the Hongkong and Shanghai Bank, under Imperial authority and secured by the customs' revenue. Three other loans, one in 1877, one in 1878, and the third in 1881, have since been issued by the same Bank under authority of the Chinese Government.

AREA AND POPULATION.

    China proper, extending over 73,093 geographical, or 1,534,953 English square miles, is divided into eighteen provinces, the area and population of which are given as follow in the most recent estimates, partly based on official returns:

The above population, giving 263 souls per square mile throughout China proper, appears to be excessive, considering that some of the outlying portions of the immense territory are by no means densely inhabited. Nevertheless, other returns than those of the above tables, said to be official, give still highor figures. It is stated that in a census taken in 1842 the population of China was ascertained to number 414,686,994, or 320 per English square mile, and that in 1852 it had risen to 450,000,000, or 347 inhabitants per square mile. But there is, probably, less accuracy in the given results of the latter enumerations than in the preceding estimate, which is doubtless considerably over the mark. Rebellions and famines have, in some provinces, greatly

295

   thinned the population, and there is reason to believe that the estimates above given considerably exaggerate the number of the Chinese race.

According to a return of the Imperial customs authorities, the total number of foreigners in China was 3,817 at the end of 1877. Among them were 1,851 natives of Gritain Britain and Ireland, 383 of the United States, 353 of Germany, and 176 of France, all other nationalities being represented by very few members. More than one-half of the total number of foreigners resided at Shanghai, the remainder being scattered over the other ports open to foreign commerce.

In addition to China proper there are its dependencies. These chiefly consist of Mongolia, with an area of 1,288,035 square milee, with some 2,000,000 people; and Manchuria, with an area of 362,313 square miles, and a population of 3,000,000. The latter is being steadily and rapidly colonised by Chinese, who will soon outnumber the Manchus in their own land. Thibet, which is also practically a dependency of China, bas an area of 643,734 square miles and a population of 6,000,000 souls. It is ruled by the Dalai Lama, but subject to the Government of Peking.

    Of all the numerous kingdoms that formerly acknowledged the suzerainty of the Dragon Throne and paid tribute to the Emperor, Corea is the only one that still yields willing allegiance. The Chinese Government has, however, no control over the internal affairs of Corea, and does not attempt to direct hor foreign policy. Of this a practical proof was given when the Japanese Government compelled the King of that country to conclude a treaty with them by which three ports of Corea were opened to Japanese trade. The area of Corea is 90,300 square miles, and the population is variously estimated from 8,000,000 to 10,000,000.

ARMY AND NAVY.

     The standing military force of China consists of two great divisions, the first formed by the more immediate subjects of the ruling dynasty. the Turtars, and the second by the Chinese and other subject races. The first, the::ain force upon which the Imperial Government can rely, form the so-called troops of the Eight Binners, and garrison all the great cities, but so as to be separated by walls and forts from the population. According to the latest reports, the Imperial army comprises a total of 850,000 men, including 678 companies of Tartar troops, 211 companies of Mongols and native Chinese infantry, a kind of militia, numbering 120,00) men. The native soldiers do not live in barracks, but in their own houses, mostly pursuing some civil occupation.

The Chinese navy is in process of formation. It consists mainly of small gun- boats built at the Namoi Arsenal, Foochow, and at Shanghai, on the foreign model, and the entire navy is manned by about 6,000 sailors and carries 28) guns. Included in these are the revenue cruisers, several of which were built in England. The principal vessel in point of size is the Yung Wo, a composite corvette, 11 guns, but this is said to be an unwieldy and unserviceable craft. The most formidable vessels now possessed by China unquestionably are the two gun-vessels, the Chao Yung and Yung Wei, built on the Tyne, and sent out to China in the autumn of 1881. These vessels have a displacement of 1,350 tons, are built of steel, and are propelled by twin screws driven by compound engines of, together, 2,600 indicated horse-power. They each carry two 26-ton breech-loading guns, one mounted forward and the other aft, four 40-pounder breech-loading guns, two 9-pounder breech-loaders, two Norden- felts, and four Gatlings. They are both armed with a formidable steel knife-edged ram, and carry steam-cutters fitted with spar torpedoes. After these come the eleven gunboats named after the letters of the Greek alphabet from Alpha to Lambda. The first four are 118 feet 6 inches long, with a draught of 7 feet 6 inches, and a displace- ment of 400 tons. They each carry a 273-ton gun. The next four, which arrived in China in October, 1879, are built of steel, and are double-ended, the stern lines being exactly after the model of the bow rudders. By this improvement they can be used either as stern racers or bow chasers, and the extreme fineness of the run enables them to steam backward almost as rapidly as forward. They measure 127 feet in extreme length and 125 feet at the water line, with 29 feet beam, a depth of 12 feet 3 inches, mean draught of 9 feet 6 inches, and a displacement of 440 tons. The

  main feature of these boats, however, is the 11-inch 35-ton muzzle-loading gun carried by each, which has a penetrative power 15 per cent over the most formidable guns at present in the British navy. They are further armed with two 12-pounder breach-loading Armstrong guns and four Gatlings. The last three, which arrived in China in July, 1881, are almost identical in style with their immediate predecessors, and each carry one 35-ton gun, but are also provided with two 13-pounders, two Gatling, and four Nordenfeldt guns. These boats are specially intended for coast and river defence, for which they are eminently suitable. They were all built on the Tyne by the Elswick Company. Other vessels are being built a Stettin and elsewhere for the Chinese Government. Lu Shun Kou, re-named Port Li, in honour of the Viceroy of Chibli, on the south coast of Shingking, has just been selected as a naval depôt, and is to be strongly fortified.

TRADE AND INDUSTRY.

Great Britain has, in virtue of various treaties with the Chinese Government- the first and most important signed August 29th, 1842-the right of access to twenty- five ports and cities of the Empire. The ports known as Treaty ports are Canton, Hoihow (in Hainan), Pakhoi, Swalow, Amov, Foochow, Takao, Tamsui, and Keelung, Wenchow, Ningpo, Shanghai, Chinkiang, Wubu, Kiukiang, Hankow, Ichang, Chefoo, Tientsin, and Newchwang. Under the provisions of the Chefoo Convention, permission is also accorded to British merchants to trade at Chung-king and Yuunan-fu, at which places British Consular Residents reside. The import trade from Great Britain, exclusive of the Colony of Hongkong, centres at Shanghai, Hankow, and Tientsin, while the bulk of the exports to Great Britain pass through the ports of Shanghai, Foochow, Hankow, and Canton. The annual value of the foreign trade of China was as follows in each of the fifteen years from 1866 to 1880 :-

   Of the total value of the imports and exports to foreign countries for 1880- Tls. 157,177,039-Tls. 126,561,647 must be credited to Great Britain and her colonies, including India. The remainder is thus divided among other countries: - United States, Tis. 10,311,442; Continent of Europe, Tis. 15,188,5-14; Russia, via Odessa, Tls. 28,818; Siberia and Russia, viá Kiachta, Tls. 4,055,310; Russian Manchuria, Tls. 413,098; Japan, Tls. 5,704,444; Philippine Islands, Tls. 239,051; Cochin China, Tls. 156,602 ; Siam, Tls. 273,941; Java, Tls. 427,260; Suez, Tls. 149,862; and Hawaii, Tls. 13,071. Among the exports, tea and silk take the first places. In 1880 the export of tea amounted to 2,097,118 piculs, of which 1,456,747 piculs went to Great Britain and British possessions. Manufactured Cotton and Woollen Goods and Opium constitute the bulk of the imports of foreign produce into China. The value of Cotton Goods imported in 1880 was Tls. 23,382,957; that of Woollen Goods, Tls. 5,810,688; and

of Miscellaneous Piece Goods, Tls. 169,384. Most of these goods came from British looms. The value of the Opium, imported in 1880 was Tls. 32,344,628.

     Although China is traversed in all directions by roads, they are usually mere tracks, or at best footpaths, along which the transport of goods is a tedious and difficult undertaking. It was owing to the imperfect means of communication that such a fearful mortality attended the recent famines in Shansi, Honan, and Shantung. A vast internal trade is, however, carried on over the roads, and by means of numerous canals and navigable rivers. The most populous part of China is singularly well adapted for the construction of a network of railways, and a first attempt to introduce them into the country was made in 1876, when a line from Shanghai to Woosung, ten miles in length, was constructed by an English Company. The little railway was subsequently purchased by the Chinese Government and closed by them on the 21st October, 1877, when the rails were taken up and the line with rolling stock shipped to Formosa, where it has ever since been lying idle and rapidly spoiling. Latterly the introduction of railways has been advocated by some of the high officials. A telegraph line has been erected between Tientsin and Shanghai, which was opened in December last.

PAKHOI.

     Pakhoi is one of the ports opened to foreign trade by the Chefoo Convention of 1876. It is situated on the Gulf of Tonquin in long. 190 deg. 13 min. E. and lat. 21 deg. 30 min. N. The British Consul hoisted his flag on the 1st May, 1877, and the foreigners were well received by the natives. Pakhoi is the port for the important city of Lien-chau, from whence considerable quantities of foreign piece goods are distributed over the country lying between the West River and the sea-board. It is believed that it will also become the great outlet for the trade of the province of Kwang- si. The trade was formerly almost exclusively in the hands of Chinese, who transhipped goods from Hongkong and Macao (chiefly the latter) in native bottoms, and in 1877 the value of the trade passing through the Foreign Customs amounted to no more than Tls. 11,714, while in 1878 it was nil. Trade has, however, greatly improved and in 1880 its value was Tls. 1,748,160 as compared with Tls. 328,532 in 1879. The exports are sugar, oil, rice, tea, &c. It is anticipated that the trade of Pakboi will ultimately be very important.

The town is situated on a small peninsula and faces nearly due North. It stands at the foot of a bluff nearly forty feet high, which deprives it of the South-west breeze in summer, while in winter it is exposed to the full force of the North-east monsoon. From the bluff an extensive uncultivated plain stretches, over which there is good sport, geese, duck, snipe, plover, quail, and pigeons being found in abundance. The climate is considered to be very salubrious. The estimated population of the port is 25,000.

No port in China is more easily approached and entered than that of Pakboi. The landmarks are conspicuous and unmistakeable. The channel is wide and deep and has no hidden danger to be avoided. The anchorage is a mile and a balf from the town. There is good landing at high water, but at ebb tide only for small bonts.

HOIHOW (IN HINAN).

Hoihow is the seaport of the city of K'iung-chow (the seat of the local govern- ment, and distant from its port about three and a half miles) which was opened to foreign trade on the 1st April, 1876. A Vice-consul, who also acts for Germany, represents British interests, and there is a branch of the Imperial Maritime Customs controlling the duties, &c., paid on foreign trade. The position of the port, though geographically favourable, is topographically unsuitable for the development of any extensive commercial transactions, vessels being compelled to anchor some two miles from the entrance of the creek, or branch of the main river upon which Hoihow is situated. The tides are extremely irregular, and the anchorage is liable to the visitation of very severe typhoons, being moreover entirely unprotected from the North. The width of the Hainan Straits, between Hoihow and the mainland-the Lien-chau peninsula-is about twelve miles. As regards health, Hoihow compares favourably with the other parts of Hainan, though fever and agus are said to prevail to some extent. The port is badly supplied with water.

The

   The approaches to the shore are extremely shallow, so that loading and unloading can only be carried on at certain states of the tide. Despite this disadvantage, however, the advent of foreign steamers bas given a considerable impulse to trade, and Hoihow now almost vies with the Formosan ports in importance. town itself contains about 12,000 souls, and is governed by a Tsan-fu, or Lieutenant-Colonel. The mercantile population, though respectable, is by no means rich. It numbers about 160 business houses, dealing chiefly in silk and cotton piece goods, medicines, opium, tobacco, sugar, oil cake, &c. The inhabitants are friendly to foreigners, and no disturbances have as yet interfered with amicable intercourse, but the natives at a distance from the town have shown themselves hostile to shipwrecked mariners who have been cast on the coast. The import of opium in 1880 amounted to 1,303 piculs, and the value of the whole trade was Tls. 1,677,025 as compared with Tls. 1,373,419 in 1879.

   No foreign settlement has as yet been formed, nor does it appear that any steps will be taken to that end for a considerable time. The foreign residents at present number less than a dozen. Full reports upon the capabilities of the port have been made by H.B.M. Consul at Cinton and the Secretary of the Hongkong Chamber of Commerce.

WHAMPOA.

     This village was formerly the seat of a large portion of the foreign trade with Canton, as foreign sailing vessels are not allowed to go further up the River. The trade in sailing vessels has, however, fallen off very much, and Whampoa in now almost deserted. A British Vice-Consulate is stationed here, and a branch of the Maritime Customs, but there are no other foreigners. The large docks formerly belonging to the Hongkong and Whampoa Dock Company here have been sold to the Chinese Government, and even of the grog shops only one remains.

     The village, known as Bamboo Town, is a dirty and unattractive place, without any feature of interest, but the scenery round is picturesque and pleasing. Two loft pagodas on neighbouring eminences are conspicuous objects from the river. The first of these, called the Whampoa Pagoda, is built on an island rising abruptly from the river to the height of 100 feet. It was erected about the year 1598, and is very much out of repair. A good sized tree grows from the brickwork at the summit. The other pagoda, called the First Bar Pagoda, is nearer to Canton, and occupies a hill which is considered the guardian hill of the province. It was built between the years 1621 and 1628 as a palladium to the water way of the provincial capital.

WHAMPOA-CANTON.

The importance of Whampoa is now a thing of the past, and there are seldom more than one or two small foreign merchant vessels in port. The place will always, however, possess some interest for foreigners, since the earliest recollections of foreign commercial intercourse with China are associated with it, all foreign ships being in old times compelled to anchor at Whampoa.

CANTON.

Canton is situated on the Chu-kiang, or Pearl River, in latitude 23 deg. 7 min. 10 sec. N., and longitude 113 dèg. 14 min. 30 sec. E., and is the capital of the province of Kwangtung. It is sometimes called the City of Rams and the City of Genii, both of which names are derived from ancient legends. It is one of the first cities in the Chinese Empire. It is the seat of government for the province, and is the residence of the Viceroy of "The Two Kwang" (Kwangtung and Kwangsı). The Governor of Kwangtung and the Tartar General are also resident bere, besides a number of other government officials of more or less distinction. Mun Tim, who performed the duties of Haikwan, or Superintendent of Customs, up to July, 1876, made himself particularly obnoxious to foreign merchants in these parts by what has been aptly termed the "Blockade of Hongkong," which has also been kept up under his successors.

    Canton, owing to its favoured situation, became at an early date the port to which the traffic of European countries was attracted. The Portuguese found their way thither in 1516, but it is recorded that their conduct in those days was not calculated to impress the Chinese favourably. The Arab navigators had, however, been making regular voyages between Canton and the ports of Western Asia as early as the tenth century. The Dutch appeared on the scene about a hundred years later than the Portuguese, and these in their turn were supplanted by the Englisb. The latter, towards the close of the seventeenth century, founded the very profitable trade which was conducted for nearly one hundred and fifty years by the Agents of the East India Company, who established a Factory there in 1684, which was after- wards celebrated throughout the world. From 1684 the export of tea to England in- creased rapidly. The Company's monopoly terminated in 1834. In 1839, Great Britain was led to a declaration of war with China in consequence of the oppression to which foreigners were subjected by the native authorities, and Canton was menaced with

capture in 1841. A pecuniary ransom was, however, received in lieu of the occupation of the city, and hostilities were for the time being suspended. The lesson, unfortunately, was without effect, and the arrogance of the Chinese continued unabated. The British campaigu in Central China ensued, and the result was the signature of the Treaty of Nanking (Angust 29th, 1842), by which what was called the Co-Hong monopoly at Canton was abolished and four additional ports thrown open to foreign trade. Never- theless, the provisons of the Treaty continued to be ignored in the City of Rams, and foreigners were still denied admittance within its walls. The result of protracted annoyances and insults was that in October, 1856, Sir Michael Seymour, with the fleet, again opened hostilities, and some two months later a mob in retaliation pillaged and burned all the foreign residences. In December, 1857, Sir Charles Straubenzee, in command of an expedition which had been specially despatched from Engiand, at- tacked the city, and it was taken on the 29th of that montb. The city was occupied by the English until October, 1861, a period of nearly four years.

    Canton proper extends to a breadth of about two miles, is about six miles in circumference, and is enclosed by walls about twenty feet thick and from twenty-five to forty feet high. The suburbs spread along the river for nearly five miles. The entire circuit, including the suburbs, is stated by Williams to be nearly ten miles, the walls enclosing about six miles. What is called the New City now was formerly known as the Southern Suburb. The Western Suburb stretches for miles along the river. The gates by which entrance is gained into the city are sixteen in number, and two water gates. Canton contains great attractions for foreign visitors in its numerous temples, pagodas, &c., and in the many curio shops to be found there. The French Mission have erected a large and bandsome Gothic cathedral, with two lofty towers, in the city. The structure is entirely built of dressed granite, and bas been completed externally.

When the foreign merchants went back to Canton to establish trade after the capture of the city by the English at the close of 1857, they found the Factory and the buildings along the river in ruins. Recourse for accommodation was consequently had to warehouses on the Honam side of the river. Considerable discussion subse- quently took place as to the selection of a site for a permanent British settlement, and it was eventually determined that an extensive mudflat known as Shameen should be filled in and appropriated. In 1859 an artificial island was created there, a canal constructed between the northern side of the site and the city, and solid and extensive embankments of masonry built. It took about two years to complete this undertaking, and cost no less than $325,000. Of this sum four-fifths were defrayed by the British, and one fifth by the French Government, to whom a portion of the reclaimed land was given, but they have never built on it.

In consequence, however, of the subsequent decline in the importance of Canton as a place of trade, caused principally by the opening of some of the northern ports, the Shameen site has been availed of but by few, and many of the merchants by whom lots were purchased there in 1861, at enormous prices, have withdrawn from Canton altogether. The trade now transacted there by foreigners is limited. Tea and Silk are the staple exports. The total export of Tea for the year ending 31st December, 1880, was 15;096,298 lbs. compared with 15,492,132 lbs. in 1879; and the quantity of Raw Silk exported in 1880 was 19,588 piculs. The import of Opium in 1880 was 642 piculs as compared with 1,194 piculs in 1879. The total annual re- venue of the port for 1880 was Tis. 936,782 as compared with Tls. in 1,093,144 in 1879. The purely native trade of Canton still enjoys a high degree of prosperity. The population is estimated at 1,600,000.

Ample means of intercommunication exist between Canton and Hongkong, a distance of about ninety-five miles, by foreign steamers plying daily, and a large number of uative craft. There is daily steam communication with Macao. Steamers also run regularly between Shanghai, Hongkong, and Canton. There is a safo and commodious anchorage within 150 yards of the river wall of Shameen. Only steamers go to Canton; sailing vessels never ascend beyond Whampoa, owing to the difficulties of navigating a crowded river.

SWATOW.

    Swatow, which was first thrown open to foreigners by Lord Elgin's Treaty, is situated at the mouth of the river Han, near the eastern border of the Kwangtung province, in lat. 23 deg. 20 min. 43 sec. N., and long. 116 deg. 39 min. 3 sec. E. It is the shipping port for the city of Cha'o-chow-fu, the seat of the local government, 85 miles inland, and Sun-Ho-Pa, forty miles farther up the river.

Swatow is built on the northern bank of the Han, which forms part of an alluvial plain through which the branches of the river flow. The shore on the opposite side is bold and striking, the hills stretching away to the coast and forming what is known to sea-going people as the "Cape of Good Hope;" Pagoda Hill rises at the opposite side; and in a direct line from this lies the large island of Namoa.

    The first foreign trading depôt in this locality was inaugurated at Namoa, where the opium vessels used to anchor, but it was subsequently removed to Double Island, which is situated just inside the river and is four miles from Swatow. Foreigners here made themselves notorious in the early years of the settlement by the kidnapping of coolies, and so strong was the feeling shown against them by the natives that no foreigners were safe far from Double Island, while they were strictly forbidden to enter Swatow, and it was not until 1861 that they could do so. In the country round Swatow the antipathy to foreigners was of much longer duration. The British Consul was held technically to reside at Cha'o-chow-fu, and subsequent to 1861 several in- effectual attempts were made to pass through its gates. In 1866 a visit was made under more favourable circumstances, but it is only within the last few years that the population has refrained from annoyance and insult to foreigners within its walls. In 1862 the lease of a piece of land was applied for and grinted to the British Government on the north bank of the river about a mile from Swatow, but so strong were the demonstrations of the populace against it that the matter fell through. Foreign residences, however, commenced to spring up here and there, and many of them are consequently somewhat scattered, though the majority are in or near the town of Swatow. The yearly increasing traffic of the port has led to much over- crowding on the narrow strip of land on which it is built, and since February, 1877, no less than 21 acres have been reclaimed from the sea, the greater part of which is now covered with shops and houses.

    The climate af Swatow is said to be very salubrious. The town occupies, how- ever, an unenviable position as regards typhoons, on account of being opposite the lower mouth of the Formosa Channel, and it has on many occasions been subjected to all the violence of these terrible storms, which almost every year sweep across the lower coast of China. The population of Swatow is estimated at 30,000.

The foreign trade of Swatow has never been large, but of late years it has shown a slight increase. Its proximity to Hongkong, which can be reached in from 15 to 20 hours, no doubt tells against it, as it enables the Chinese to conduct their own import business. The quantity of Opium imported has increased very much of late years; the total in 1868 was only 4,272 piculs as compared with 8,760 piculs in 1880; but this showed a falling off on the previous year of about 1,300 picnls. The quantity of Tea exported is very small, and reached only 5,660 piculs in 1880. A considerable trade is done in Sugar, there being 1,251,760 piculs exported in 1880, which shows a steady increase on previous years. The value of the trade of the port for 1380 was Tis. 21,176,684, as compared with Tls. 20,378,581 in 1879. For several months last rear trade was largely interfered with by a dispute between the Customs and the Guild, and the returns for 1881 will probably show a considerable decrease.

ΑΜΟΥ.

Amoy was one of the five ports open to foreign trade before the ratification of the Treaty of Tientsin. It is situated upon the island of Haimun, at the mouth of the Dragon River, in lat. 24 deg. 40 min. N. and long. 118 deg. E. It was the scene of trade with Western nations at a very early date. The Portuguese went there in 1544, but in consequence of their cruelty towards the natives, the Chinese authorities forcibly expelled them and burned thirteen of their vessels. The English bad commercial dealings there up to 1730, when the Chinese Government issued an edict prohibiting trade with foreigners at all ports except Canton. They made an exception as regards Spanish ships, which were allowed to trade at Amoy. The vessels of other nationa- lities, however, continued to visit the place, and did so till the city was captured in 1841. The Treaty of Nanking was signed soon afterwards, and foreigners have since been allowed to live there in peace and security.

In describing Amoy, Dr. Williams says:-"The island (upon which Amoy is built) is about forty miles in circumference, and contains scores of large villages besides the city. The scenery within the bay is picturesque, caused partly by the numerous islands which define it, surmounted by pagodas or temples, and partly by the high barren hills behind the city. There is an outer and an inner city, as one approaches it seaward, divided by a high ridge of rocky hills having a fortified wall running along the top. A paved road connects the two. The entire circuit of the city and suburbs is about eight miles, containing a population of, 300,000, while that of the islands is estimated at 100,000 more. The harbour is one of the best on the coast; there is good holding ground in the outer harbour, and vessels can anchor in the inner, within a short distance of the beach, and be perfectly secure; the tide rises and falls from fourteen to sixteen feet. The western side of the harbour, here from six hundred and seventy-five to eight hundred and forty yards wide, is formed by the island of Ku- langsu. It is a picturesque little spot and maintains a rural population of 3,500 people. Easward of Amoy is the island of Quemoy or Kinmun (Golden Harbour), presenting a striking contrast in the low foreground on its south shore to the high land on Amov."

      There is little to be said about the city. It ranks as a third class city in China, but it bears no comparison to Canton in wealth or general appearance.

It is con- sidered, even for China, to be very dirty, and its inhabitants are unusually squalid in their babits. There are several places of interest to foreigners in the vicinity, and excursions are made to Chang-chow-fu, the chief city of the department of that name, and situated about 35 miles from Amoy. The island of Kulangsu is about a third of a mile from Amoy, and the residences of nearly all the foreigners are to be found there, although most of the foreign business is transacted on the Amoy side. A tiny shipping sheet called the Amoy Gazette is published daily. The population of Amoy is estimated at 88,000. The foreign residents number about 280.

There has always been a comparatively good trade done at Amoy. In 1864 the rebels captured Chang-chow-fu, and the commerce of the port was greatly interfered with. There are a number of steamers from Hongkong which touch here regularly, and communication with that port is thus very frequent. Direct communication with Manila and the Straits Settlements is also maintained. The total export of Tea for 1880 was 136,927 piculs, and of Sugar for the same period 243,689 piculs. The net importation of Opium for 1880 was 5,757 piculs as compared with 4,630 piculs in 1879. The total value of the foreign trale of the port for 1880 was Tls. 10,033,584, against Tls. 9,029,149 in 1879.

TAKAO AND TAIWAN-FU.

     Takao is a port in South Formosa, and is situated in lat. 22 deg. 38 min. 3 sec. N. and long. 130 deg. 16 min. 30 sec. E. It was thrown open to foreign trade in 1864. It is only a small place, occupied chiefly by Chinese fishermen, and excepting the beautiful scenery surrounding it, possesses no features of interest. A new Bund has recently been formed in front of the foreign hongs. The appearance of the place and its vicinity from the sea is very pleasant. Ape's Hill is seen rising on the left and the Saracen's Head on the right. Between the two is the channel which leads up to the inner barbour, which is about seven miles long and three miles across in its widest part. The soil of the country around Takao is extremely fertile; banyans and bamboos grow luxuriantly, and sugar plantations are numerous. Sugar is the prin- cipal article of export from Takao, and in 1880 it amounted to 997,625 piculs as against 701,684 piculs in 1879. The import of Opium in 1880 amounted to 3,647 piculs, as against 3,387 piculs in 1879. The value of the trade of the port in 1880 was Tls. 4,527,544, and in 1879 Tls. 3,750,925. The population of Takao is estimated at 10,000.

     The city of Taiwan-fu lies about twenty miles from Takao in lat. 23 deg. 6 min. N. and long. 129 deg. 5 min E. It is a place of considerable size and importance. It is situated about three miles from the coast, with which connection is kept up by means of canals. The walls of the city are some five miles in circumference aud enclose many buildings and places of interest. Among these is an Examination Hall for the Chinese literati, capable of accommodating several thousand students. There are a great many trees and open spaces in the city, which give it rather a pleasant appearance. In the locality are the ruins of Zealandia, a fort which was built in 1630, and which was the chief stronghold of the Dutch in Formosa until they were driven out by the Chinese pirate chief Koxinga, soon after whose death the western half of the island fell under the rule of the Chinese Government. The Customs give no returns of trade here, as they are included with those of Takao. The port is an open shallow roadstead, and vessels have to anchor at some distance from the shore. The population of Taiwan-fu is estimated at 225,000.

TAMSU.

The port of Tamsui lies in lat. 25 deg. 10 min. N. and long, 101 deg. 26 min. E., on the northern side of the fertile island of Formosa. It is an uninteresting place. The harbour, like all others in Formosa, has a troublesome bar, which greatly retards the growth of the port. Dredging would do much to render it more accessible. The trade at Tamsui is not extensive. Tea grows on the hills in the locality, but the quality is inferior. Camphor is manufactured here and elsewhere in Formosa, the tree from which it is made being very common on the island. The principal exports in 1880 were as follow:-Tea, 90,475 piculs; Camphor, 12,335 piculs; Coal, 24,654 tons. The import of Opium in 1880 was 2,149 piculs, and in 1879, 2,165 piculs, The value of the trade of the port in 1880 was Tls. 3,907,436, and in 1879, Tls. 3,632,410. The population is estimated at 90,000.

KEELUNG.

    The port of Keelung lies to the north-east of Tamsui, in latitude 25 deg. 9 min. N. and longitude 121 deg. 47 min. E. It is situated on the shores of a bay between the capes of Foki and Peton, some twenty miles apart, amidst bold and striking scenery, backed by a range of mountains. It was once a Spanish Settlement, but was subsequently captured and held by the Dutch until they in turn gave place to the Chinese under Koxinga. Though only a mere village it has long carried on a con- siderable native trade with Amoy, Chin-chew, and Foochow. Its staple product is coal, the mines of which are very productive and some of them are now being worked with modern English machinery under the direction of English miners. Sulphur also abounds in a valley in the neighbourhood, but the Authorities will not allow it to be worked. Keelung was opened to foreign trade at the same time as the other Formosan ports. The foreign trade at this port is confined to the shipment of coal. Its exports are included in the returns for Tamsui.

FOOCHOW.

    Foochow (or Fuh-chau-fu) is the capital of the Fokien province. It is situated in lat. 26 deg. 02 min. 24 sec. N., and long. 119. deg. 20 min. E. The city is built on a plain on the northern side of the river Min, and is distant about thirty-four miles from the sea, and nine miles from Pagoda Island, where foreign vessels anchor.

    The attention of foreigners was early attracted to Foochow as a likely place where commercial intercourse could be profitably carried on in the shipment of Bobea Tea, which is grown largely in the locality. Before the port was opened, this article used to be carried overland to Canton for shipment, a journey which was both long and difficult. The East India Company, as early as 1830, made representations in favour of the opening of the port, but nothing definite was done till the conclusion of the Treaty of Nanking in 1842. The early years of intercourse with the natives was anything but what was anticipated. The navigation of the river was difficult, there was no market for imports, and several attacks by the populace rendered the port an undesirable place of residence for some time. It was not until some ten years after the port had been opened that there was much done in the export of Tea from the interior, but since then the quantity shipped has increased so largely that Foochow is now one of the principal tea ports in China.

     The city is built around three hills, and the circuit of the walled portion is between six and seven miles in length. The walls are about thirty feet high and twelve feet wide at the top. The streets are narrow and filthy, but the number of trees about the official quarter of the city, and the wooded bills enclosed by the walls, give a picturesque appearance to the general view. Near the east gate of the city are several bot springs, which, like those in Japan, are used by the natives for the cure of skin diseases and are believed to be very efficacious. The Foochow people excel in the manufacture of miniature monuments, pagodas, dishes, &c., from what is called "soap stone," and in the construction of artificial flowers, curious figures of birds, &c. A few miles above the city the river divides into two branches, which after pursuing separate courses for fifteen miles, unite a little above Pagoda Anchorage. The foreign settlement stands on the northern side of the island thus formed and which is called Nantai. Communication with the city is kept up by means of a bridge.

     The climate of Foochow is moist and enervating; it is rather warmer in summer and cooler in winter than that of Hongkong. Frost and ice are occasionally-but very seldom-met with here; and it is recorded that in the month of February, 1864, some two inches of snow fell upon the surrounding hills. Such an occurrence bad not been remembered for forty years before, and it certainly has not happened since.

The scenery surrounding Foochow is very beautiful. In sailing up the river from the sea vessels have to leave the wide stream and enter what is called the Kimpai Pass, which is barely balf mile across, and enclosed as it is by bold, rocky walls, it presents a very striking appearance. The Pass of Min-ngan is narrower, and with its towering cliffs, surmounted with fortifications and cultivated terraces, is extremely picturesque, and has been compared to some of the scenes on the Rbine.

    Foreign vessels, with the exception of those of very light draught, are compelled to anchor at Pagoda Island, owing to the shallowness of the river, which has been increasing of late years, and the difficulties of navigation.

     The trade of Foochow is mainly in Tea, the quantity exported in 1880 amounting to 738,247 piruls against 644,117 piculs in 1879. Of Opium, 4,201 piculs were imported in 1880 as against 4,273 piculs in 1879. The value of the trade of the port for 1880 was Tls. 15,758,656; for 1879, it was Tls. 15,987,106. A small weekly paper called the Foochow Herald is published here. The population of Foochow is estimated at 630,00).

WENCHOW.

   Wên-chow-fu, one of the four new ports opened to foreign trade by the Chefoo Convention, is the chief town in the department of the same name occupying the south-east corner of Che-kiang province. The city is situated on the south bank of the river Ou-kiang, about twenty miles from its mouth, in lat. 27 deg. 18 min. 4 sec. N., long. 120 deg. 38 min. 28 sec. E. The site is a well cultivated plain, bounded on all sides, but at a distance of some ten miles, by lofty hills. The walls are said to have been first erected during the fourth century, and enlarged and re-built by the Emperor Hung-Wu in 1385. They are formed of stone, diagonally laid, and measure about six miles in circumference. The streets are wider, straighter, and cleaner than those of most Chinese cities. They are well paved with brick and kept in careful and constant repair by the householders. They slope down on either side to water ways, which in their turu communicate with canals permeating the whole city. The streets therefore are not only easily kept clean, but this is specially accomplished by bands of scavengers, who go round every morning at daylight, sweeping and scrupulously removing every atom of dirt or refuse. Wenchow, in this particular, is unique among Chinese cities, which are chiefly remarkable for their filthiness. There are numerous large temples iu Wenchow. The Custom-house, outside the east gate, the Taotai's Yamên, in the south-west corner of the city, and the Foundling Hospital, uear the centre, are the other chief public buildings. The latter institu- tion, built in 1748, contains one hundred apartments. It is supported by the interest of invested subscriptions and the rental of alluvial lands presented to it by the Government. The number of foundlings on the establishment's books at one time varies from two to three bundred. When of suitable age the boys are either articled to tradesmen, or adopted; the girls are betrothed as wives, or employed as house servants. There is also a Beggars' Asylum outside the south-west gate. It was built during the 14th century, and is supported by the state. The monthly allowance for each recipient is one tael and a half, but it is reported that few avail themselves of the charity. Among the objects of greatest interest and curiosity to the stranger are two pagodas situated on an island abreast of the city. They are both of great antiquity and are reputed to have been for some time the retreat of Ti Ping, the last Emperor of the Sung dynasty, when seeking to escape from the Mongols under Kublai Khan. The estimated population of the city is 83,000.

   Wên-chow was formerly a great seat of the tea trade, and previous to 1861 was the only port in the department at which tea was allowed to be exported. The city was then in a flourishing condition. But in order to prevent the teas from falling into the hands of the Tâi-p'ing rebels, who over-ran the whole district during that year, this regulation was exchanged for one which authorized the export of tea at any of the Customs stations along the coast; consequently the trade soon gravitated to Foochow on the south and to Ningpo on the north. It was thought that on the conversion of Wên-chow into a treaty port it would speedily recover its old position as a tea exporting place, but this has not so far proved to be the case, nor has the trade in any way been of a character to meet the expectations formed, although it is estimated that tea could be put on the Wenchow market for $2 per picul less than at Foochow owing to the higher cost of transport to the latter port. At present there is no foreign settlement, and the foreign residents are a mere bandful. The obstructive action of the officials in trying to impose additional burdens on imports helped to check the expansion of commerce, and there has so far been little encouragement for foreigners to establish themselves at the port.

There is a con-

 siderable native sport tr.de in wood and bamboos, brought down the river in rafts from Ch'u-chow. The annual value of this trade is estimated to be not less than $2,000,000. The shops and yards engaged in it are situated in the west suburb,

where immense qu:: ntities of bamboo and poles are kept on band. Wenchow is also celebrated for its oranges. The net value of the foreign imports for the year 1880 was Tls. 249,487 as against Tls. 200,344 in 1879. The export of Congou Tea has been as follows:-1877, 278 piculs; 1878, 680 piculs; 1879, 728 piculs; and 1880, 1,284 piculs. In 1880, 54 piculs of Opium were imported, as compared with 61 piculs in 1879. The value of the trade of the port for 1830 was Tis. 429,970 compared with Tls. 315,390 in 1879.

NINGPO.

     Ningpo is situated on the river Yung, in the province of Chekiang, in lat. 29 deg. 55 min. 12 sec. N., and long. 121 deg. 22 min. E. It was one of the five ports thrown open to foreigners in 1842.

      Foreigners had, however, visited Ningpo at an early date. Portuguese traded there in 1522; a number of them se tled in the place in that and succeeding y ars, and there was every prospect of a rising and successful colony soon being established, But the lawless acts of the Portuguese at this as well as at other ports in China soon attracted the attention of the Government, and in 1542 the Governor of Chekiang ordered the settlement to le destroyed and the population to be exterminated. A large force of Chinese troops soon besieged the place, destroying it entirely, and out of a population of 1,200 Portuguese, 800 were massacred. No further attempt at trade with this port was made till towards the close of the 17th century, when the East India Company established a factory at the island of Cusan, some forty miles from Ningpo. The attempt to found a trade mart, there, how ver, proved unsatis- factory, and the factory was abandoned after a very few years' trial. The port was deserted by foreigners for many years after that. When hostilities broke out between Great Britain and China in 1839, the fleet moved north from Canton, and on the 13th October, 1841, occupied Ningpo, and an English garrison was stationed there for some time. In March, 1842, an attempt was made by the Chinese to retake the city, but the British artillery repulsed them with great slaughter. Ningpo was evacuated on May 7th, and, on the proclamation of peace in the following August, the port was thrown open to foreign trade.

NINGPO,

Ningpo is built on a plain, which stretches away to a cops-l rable distance on either side. It is a walled city, the walls enclosing a space of some five miles in cir- cumference. The walls are built of brick, and are about twenty-five feet high. They are fifteen feet wide at the summit, and twenty-two at the b Ise. Access is obtained to the town by six gates. A large moat commences at the north gate and runs along the foot of the wall for about three miles on the landward side, unti! it stops at what is called the Bridge Gate. The main street runs from east to west. One of the peculiarities of the place is a number of walls built across various portions of the city, for the purpose of preventing the spread of fires. Several of the streets are spanned by arches erected in memory of distinguished natives. Ningpo has been celebrated as possessing the fourth library of Chinese works, in point of numbers, wh ch existed in the empire. It was owned by a family who resided near the south gate. The site occupied by the foreign residences is on the north bank of the river. The population of Ningpo is estimated at 260,000.

The tra le at Ningpo has never been large. This is owing to a considerable extent, doubtless, to toe proximity of Shanghai. The net quantity of Opium im orted iu 1880 was 6,258 piculs, as against 7,667 piculs in 1879. Of Tea, there were 152,832 piculs exported in 1880, a d 131,486 in 1879; Cotton, 28,497 ¡iculs in 1880, and 12,407 piculs in 1879. The quantity of Raw Silk exported in 1880 amounted to 391 bal as compared with 344 bales for the previous twelve months. The total value of the trade of the port was Tls. 12,384,330 in 1880; and Tls. 12,936,369 in 1879.

SHANGHAI.

     The most northerly of the five ports opened to foreign trade by the British Treaty of Nanking, is situate at the extreme south-east corner of the province of Kaug-su, in latitude 31.41 north, and longitude 126.29 east of Greenwich, at the junction of the rivers Hwaι g-po and Woosung (the latter called by foreigners the Soochow Creek), about twelve miles above the village of Woosung, where their united waters debouch into the e tuary of the Yangtsze. The soil is alluvial and the country perfectly flat, the nearest eminence that can be called a bill being distant about nineteen miles. The river opposite the city and foreign settlements, once a narrow canal, was, some twelve years ago, 1,800 feet broad at low water, but has been rapidly narrowing till it is now only 1,200 feet. The Soochow Creek, which is shown by old records to have been at one time at least three miles across, has now a breadth of only a hundred yards. The average water on the bar at Woosung at high water springs is nineteen feet, the greatest depth of late years being twenty-three feet. The bar is the cause of heavy loss to shipowners and merc' ants through the detention of ocean steamers, and repeated efforts have been made to induce the Chinese authorities to deepen it. As there appears no chance of their doing so except under compulsion, which foreign governments seem disinclined to use, the foreign residents have agreed to tax their trade for the purpose, and the proposal is now under the consideration of the Ministers at Peking.

CC

Shanghai-the name means upper sa or Dear the sea "--became a hsien or third rate city in the fourteenth century, and the walis, which are three and a half miles in circuit, with seven gates, were erected at the time of the Japanese invasion, in the latter part of the sixteenth century. It had been an important seat of trade for many centuries before the incursion of foreigners.

The ground selected by Captain Balfour, the first British Consul, for a Settle ment for his nationals, lies about half a mile north of the city walls, between the Yang-king-pang and Soochow Creeks, and now extends backwards from the river to a- ditch connecting the two, called the Defence Creek, thus forming what may be called an island, a mile square. The port was formally declared open to trade on the 17th November, 1843. The French subsequently settled on the ground between the city walls and the British Concession, and in exchange for help rendered in driving out the rebels who had seize the city in 1853, got a grant of the land extending for about a mile to the south between the city walls aid the river. They have since by purchase extended the unds of the concession westward to the "Ningpo Joss House," a mile from the river. Later on the Americans rented land immediately north of Soochow Creek, in the district called Hongkew, so that the ground now occupied by foreigners extends for about four miles on the left bank of the river. The land in the British Settlement was assessed in 1880 at Tls. 6,116,862, that in Hongkew at Tls. 1,944,625, and that in the French Concession at Tls. 2,306,677. Most of the land along the outside roads an 1 at Pootung, on the opposite bank of the river, is now also rented by foreigners, but natives have recently been consider- able purchasers of landed property within the Settlements. All ground belongs nominally to the Emperor of China, but is rented in perpetuity, a tax of fifteen hundred copper cash, equal to about a dollar and a quarter, per mow, being paid to the Government annually. About six mow equal one English acre.

The approach by sea to Shanghai is now well lighted and buoyed and, although it has not yet become, as Mr. Inspector-General Hari stated in one of his despatches it would, "as safe as a walk down Regent Street when the gas is lit," the dangers of

the ever shifting banks and shoals are as well guarded as can be expected. Under the superintendence of the Engineering department of the Customs, light-houses have been erected on West Volcano, Soweishau, North Saddle, and Gutzlaff Is ands, and at Woosung. There are also two lightships in the Yangtsze below Woosung.

   As a port for foreign trade Shan, hai grew but gradually until it gained a great impetus by the opening in 1861 of the Yangtsze and Northern p. rts, secured by the Treaty of Tientsin, and a further increase by the opening up of Japan. The first event of importance since the advent of foreigners was the taking of the city by a band of rebels in 1853, who beld it for seventeen months. This caused a large number of refugees to seek shelter within the foreign settlements, and the price of laud rose very considerably. Owing to the occupation of the city the authorities were powerless to collect the duties, and it was in consequence agreed between the Taotai and the three Consuls (British, French, and United States') that they should be collected under foreign control. This was found to work so much to the advantage of the Chinese Government that the system was extended, subsequently to the Treaty of Tientsin, to all the open ports, and thus the Foreign Inspectorate of Customs was established, the bead-quarters of which were for some years, and according to the original regulations should still be, at Shanghai. In 1861 the Taipings approached Shanghai and threatened the city and settlements. The taking of Soochow on 25th May, 1860, had driven a large number of the inbabitants of that city and the surrounding districts to Shanghai for protection, so that the native population increased rapidly. It was variously estimated at from four hundred thousand to a million, but the smaller number is probably nearer the truth. So immensely did the price of land rise that it is stated ground which had originally cost foreigners fifty pounds per acre was sold for ten thousand pounds. At this time the old Cricket Ground was sold at such an enormous profit that after the shareholders had been repaid the original cost there was a balance of some forty-five thousand taels, which the owners generously devoted to the foundation of a fund for the use of the public, to be applied to the purposes of recreation only. Unfortunately thirty thousand taels of this amount was lent by the treasurer on his own responsibility to the Club, in which institution he was a share- holder. As the profits on the club were never sufficient to enable the shareholders to repay this loan, the building and furniture were taken over in 1869 by the trustees on behalf of the Recreation Fund, to which the building still belongs. This fund has proved very useful in rendering assistance to some other public institutions, besides having purchased for public recreation all the ground in the interior of the new Race Course. By 1861 provisions had increased in price to four times what they had been some years previously. Efforts were made to keep the rebels at a distance from Shangbai; a detachment of British Royal Marines and an Indian Regiment garrisoned the walls, while the gates on the side towards the French Settlement were guarded by French Marines. In August, 1861, the city was attacked, and the suburbs between the city walls and river were in consequence destroyed by the French, the rebels being ultimately driven back. In Deceraber, the rebels to the number of one hundred thousand again threatene 1 the Settlements. The approaches were barricaded and the Defence Creek constructed and fortified at an expense of forty-five thousand taels. A volunteer forc. was also formed amongst the foreign residents, under the command of Captain, now Sir Thomas Wade, which did really good service. Before the close of 1862 the rebels had been driven by the British Forces beyond a radius of thirty miles around Shanghai.

At the time the local native Authorities were severely pressed they availed themselves of the services of an American alventurer named Ward, who raised a band of deserters from foreign ships and rowdies of all nations who had congregated at Shanghai, with w oso help he drilled a regiment of natives. After passing under the command of another low caste American of the name of Burgevine, who sub- sequently deserted to the rebels, the Imperial Authorities found it impossible to control these raw and undisciplined levies, and at their earnest request Admiral Sir James Hope consented to the appointment of Major, now Colonel, Gordon, R.E., to the command. Having by him been made amenable to discipline, they now rendered

the greatest service in the suppression of the rebellion; indeed it is generally held doubtful if the Taipings would ever have been overcome but for the assistance of "The Ever Victorious Army," as this hastily raised band was named. Amongst other services they regained possession of the important city of Soochow. From 1860 to 1865 one British and two Indian Regiments and a battery of Artillery were stationed at Shanghai.

Since that time there have been few historical events worthy of record in a brief summary. On Christmas eve, 1870, the British Consulate was burned down and most of the records completely lost. In May, 1874, a riot occurred in the French Settlement, owing to the intention of the Municipal Council to make a road through an old graveyard belonging to the Ningpo Guild. One or two Europeans were severely injured, and three natives lost their lives. A considerable amount of foreign owned property was destroyed. An extensive fire in the French Concession in August, 1878, destroyed 991 bouses; the loss was estimated at Tls. 1,500,000.

      As at all the open ports, foreigners are in judicial matters subject to the immediate control of their Consuls, British subjects coming under the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court, which was opened in September, 1865. Subjects of Her Britannic Majesty have to pay a poll tax of five dollars for gentlemen and one dollar for "artizans and labourers," for which they have the privilege of being registered at the Consulate, and of being heard as plaintiff's before the Court. There is enforced registra- tion at several of the other Consulates, but it is free of charge. Chinese residents in the Foreign Settlements are amenable to their own laws, administered by a so called Mixed Court, which was established at the instigation of Sir Harry Parkes in 1864, and is presided over by an official of the rank of Tung-chi. The cases are watched by foreign assessors from the different Consulates, the first British assessor calling himself a "co-judge." The working of the Court, especially in regard to civil suits, is far from satisfactory, as the judge has not sufficient power to enforce his decisions. The matter bas lately been engaging the attention of the authorities at Peking. For the French Concession tere is a separate Mixed Court, which sits at the French Consulate.

""

      In local affairs toe residents govern themselves by means of Municipal Councils, under the authority of the "Land Regulations" These were originally drawn up by H.B.M. Consul in 1845, but have since undergone various amendments. In 1854 the first general Land Regulations-the city charter, as they may be called-wer arranged between the British Consul, Captain Balfour, and the local authorities, by which persons of all nationalities were allowed to rent land within the defined limits, and in 1863 the so called "American Settlement was amalgamated with the British into one Municipality. The "Committee of Rads and J this," originally consisting of "three upright British Merchants," appointed by the British Consul, afterwards became the "Municipal Council," elected by the renters of land, and when the revised Land Regulations came into force in 1870, the "Council for the Foreign Community of Shanghai North of the Yang-king-pang," elected in January of each year by all householders who pay rates on an assessed rental of five hundred taels and owners of land valued at five hundred taels and over. The Council now consists of nine members of various nationalities, who elect their own chairman and vice-chairman and who give their services free. A committee of residents was appointed in November, 1879, to revise the present regulations, and their work was considered and passed by the ratepayers in May last. Many important alterations have been made, but they have yet to receive the sanction of the various governments. A separate Council for the French Concession was appointed in 1862, and now works under the "Réglement d'Organisation Municipale de la Concession Française," passed in 1868, and consists of four French and four foreign members, elected for two years, half of whom retire annually. They are elected by all owners of land on the Concession, or occupants paying a rental of a thousand francs per anuum, or residents with an annual income of four thousand francs. This, it will be noticed, approaches much more nearly to "universal suffrage" than the franchise of the other Settlements, which, however, will be considerably reduced under the new Regulations. The qualification for councillors North of the Yang-

king-pang is the payment of rates to the amount of fifty taels annually, or being a householder paying rates on an assessed rental of twelve hundred taels. For the French Concession the requirement is a mo: etary one of about the same amount. Several efforts have been made to amal: amate the French with the other Settlements, but itherto without succ ss. Meetings of ratepayers are held in February of each year, at which the budgets are voted and the new Councils instructed as to the policy they are to pursue. No important measure is undertaken without being rerred to a special meeting of ratepayers. The Council divides itself into Defence, Finance, Watch, and Works Committee. This cosmopolitan system of Government has for many years worked so well and so cheaply, that Shanghai has fairly earned for its If the name of "The Model Settlement."

   The Revenue of the "Anglo-American" Settlement for 1880 amounted to Tls. 245,802.33 and was derived as follows:-

Land Tax, four-tenths of 1 per cent.

     The Foreign population has considerably decreased from what it was at one time. The census of 1865 gave the number of foreign residents in the three Settlements as 2,757, army and navy (British) 1,851, shipping 981, a total of 5,589. By the census of 1880 there were in the Settlements north of the Yang-king-paug a total of 2,197 foreigners, 1,168 in the English division and 1,029 in Hongkew and Po tung; of these 1,171 were males, 502 females, and 524 children. The proportion of different nationalities was 1,044 (or about one-half) British, 285 Portuguese, 230 American, 190 German, 76 Spanish, 41 French, 32 Danish, 57 of various other European nationalities, 168 Japanese, and 74 Manilam n and other Asiatics. While the adult European male population has decreased since the census of 1870 by 110, the number of women and children has increased by 641, that is they have nearly trebled in ten years. The French Concession contains 350 foreigners, the greater proportion being French and the remainder mostly from other European Continental countries. These figures do not include the population afloat, which may be estimated at 1,000 or over. Although the Chinese have no right of residence within the Foreign Settle- ment, and indeed were expressly prohibited by the original Land Regulations, some twenty thousand sought refuge within the boundaries from the rebels in 1854, and when the city was besieged by the Taipings in 1860 there were, it is said, at least four hundred thousand natives within the Settlements. As they found some amenities from squeezing" when under the protection of foreig ers, and foreigners themselves being able to obtain a much higher rental for their land, ad finding native house property a very profitable investment, no opp sition was made to their residence. In 1865 there were in the three Settlements 146,000. The numbers by the new census (June, 1880) were:-In the British Settlement 68,652, in Hongkew 25,323, in Foreign Hongs in both Settlements 5,218, in villages and buts 2,541, in shipping and boats 6,078, total 107,812. The native population of the French Concession is 34,000, and the boat population about 5,000, say a total for the three Settlements and afloat of 147,000. Nearly two-thirds are adult males. A large proportion are natives of Chekiang and Kwangtung, those in the direct employ of foreigners being almost exclusively from these provinces. The population of the native city is supposed to be about 125,000. The large congregation of natives in the Settlements is kept in admirable order by a Police force of 30 foreigners and 135 natiyes for the north of the Yang-king-pang, and 37 foreiners and 33 natives for the French Concession. Considering that the natives have to be tried by their own authorities, and that bribery doubtless works its effects in Shanghai as elsewhere in China, the organization and efficiency of this small force is highly creditable. In few places is life and property more secure.

The climate of Shanghai is generally allowed to be fairly healthy. The death rate amongst foreigners ashore and afloat had decreased from 34.3 per 1,000 in 1870 to 23 per 1,000 in 1876, a rate which compares favourably with that of large towns in Europe. It rose to 28.3 in 1877 and to 31.3 in 1878, but fell again to 26 per 1,000 in 1880. Of the deaths amongst foreigners during 1877, 16 were owing to a partial outbreak of cholera, and there was the same number from that cause in 1878, but only one case among residents. There were only two deaths from the disease in 1880. If we exclude non-residents the rate was 19 per 1,000 in 1876, 23 in 1877, 24 in 1878, 21.5 in 1879, and 21.6 in 1880; amongst adult residents 16.14 per 1,000 in 1879 and 24.57 in 1880. The H-alth Officer in his last report says,

"out of the seventy. five deaths registered, there were but nine which can in any sense be termed climatic." The thermometer ranges from 25 deg. to 100 deg. Fahrenheit, the mean of eight years having been 59.2 deg.; winter being 39.1, spring 50.9, summer 78.2, and autumn 62.6. Shanghai approaches nearest to Rome in mean temperature, while the winter temperature of London and Shanghai are almost identical. In the months of October and November there is generally dry, clear, and charming weather, equal to what can be found in any other part of the world; but when the winter has fairly set in the north-east wins are extremely cold and biting. The heat

in the summer is sometimes excessive, but generally lasts only a few days at a.time. The summer of 1879 was an exception, being the hottest that has been known for many years, the thermometer reaching 99 deg. for several successive days, and the average maximun for July and August being 92.7. Last summer was cooler, but there were one or two very severe gales. The annual average of rainy days in Shanghai during eight years was 124, the annual rainfall 42.464 inches; 55 wet days occurred in win'er, and 69 in summer; th heaviest shower wis on the 24th October, 1875, when 7 inches fell in 3 hours. Earthquakes occasionally occur, but have not been known to inflict any serious injury.

    The streets of the English and French Settlements all run north anl south and east and west, mostly for the whole length of both settlements, crossing each other at right angles. Notwithstanding the soft nature of the soil they are now kept in remarkably good order, at least those near the river, the district chiefly occupied by Europeans. Owing to the nature of the ground, expensive piling is necessary before any foreign buildings can be erected, and all stone has to be brought from a long distance. The Soochow Creek, between the English Settlement and Hongkew, is now crossed by six bridges, three of which are adapted for carriage traffic, and the French is connected with the other Settlement by eight bridges. There are several good driving roads extending into the country, two leading to Sicawei, a distance of five and a half miles, and one to Jessfield, by the banks of the Soochow Creek, for about seven miles.

Another broad road, more recently constructed, runs by the side of the river for six miles. It is intended ultimately to extend it to Woosung. Several other roads have been proposed, but although foreigners are prepared to pay high prices for the land the opposition of the officials has hitherto prevented their construc- tion. At the time the Taipings approache 1 Shanghai some roads for the passage of artillery were made by the British military authorities at the expense of the Chinese Government, one of them extending for seventeen miles into the country; but ex- cepting those close to the settlement they have now been turned into ploughed fields. An inland carriage road to Woosung, made at the expense of Messrs. Jardine, Matheson & Co. and others, has now also been reduced to a narrow footpath. The foreshore in front of the settlement has recently been raised, turfed and planted with shrubs. The trees planted some years ago having now attained a good height, and several more imposing buildings having been completed, the English and French Bunds form as magnificent a boulevard as auy in the East.

Many foreign houses, nearly all of them with several mow of garden ground, have been erected near the outside roads, especially on that leading to the Bubbling Well, which is the main outlet from the settlement, and from which most of the other roads branch off. This road and its extension to Sicawei is planted with trees on both sides, forming a fine avenue of over five miles in length. A small but well laid out and admirably kept Public Garden was formed about 1868 on land recovered from the river in front of the British Consulate.

    Immense sums have been wasted in various attempts to drain the settlements, principally from the want of skilled direction; but the great difficulties in this matter, arising from the low lying and level nature of the ground, have now been fairly overcome. The settlements are well provided with telegraphic fire alarms. The water supply is at present obtained by means of buckets from the river, and is unfit for cooking er drinking purposes unless both boiled and filtered. Toe desire of the Municipal Councils to keep the monopoly in their own hands retarded for many years the inauguration of water works, but sanction was given in August, 1880 to a public company to establish the much needed works, which are now in progress and it is expected will be in operation this year.

Shanghai can boast of several fine buildings of various and varied styles of architecture. Trinity Cathedral, erected from a design by Sr Gilbert Scott, is one of the finest specimens of modern ecclesiastical architecture to be found out of Europe, but, from want of funds, the tower and spire, which is an essential part of the design, has not yet been built. There is a Roman Catholic Church in the French

Concession and another in Hongkew; also a Chapel belonging tɔ the London Mission and one to the American Episcopalians, and a very pretty and prettily situated Seamen's Church at Pootung, besides several Mission Chapels for natives. The Jesuit Fathers have an extensive Mission extablishment at Sicawei, to which is attached a valuable scientific observatory. The Suanghai Club occapies a large and elaborate building at one end of the English Bund. It cost Tis. 120,000, and at that is said to have ruiued three contractors. It has passed through a varied and peculiar history. There is a really fine Masonic Hall at the other en 1 of the Bund. Amongst the other conspicuous buildings may be mentioned those occupied by the Oriental and Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporations. There is a very fair Theatre, but it is as yet devoid of internal decoration. The members of the German (Concordia) Club have also a handsome_little Theatre attached to their premises, A monument to the memory of Mr. A. R. Margary, of the British Consular service, who was murdered by Chinese in Yunnan, was unveiled in June, 1880. The principal buildings on the French Concession are the Municipal Hall and the Consulate.

     Among the institutions of the place may be mentioned the Volunteer Defence Force, consisting of Field Artillery, Light Horse, and Rifle Brigade, the latter com- prising two companies. Originally formed in 1861 it gradually went to decay, until the fear of attack after the Massacre at Tientsin in 1870 caused its revival with considerable vigour. It again dwindled in numbers, but a recent effort to reorganise it has proved successful, there being about two hundred effective members. The Fire Brigade which is entirely volunteer, consists of seven Engine and two Hook and Ladder Companies. It is pronounced to be the most efficient Brigade out of the United States. There is a Hospital for foreigners, the new and commodious building for which was completed in 1877, and several Hospitals for natives. The Temperance Society has a good hall and well furnished library, and having latterly been conducted on liberal principles is well supported by the community The other public institutions may be enumerated as, a Subscription Library containing about 10,000 volumes, a brauch of the Royal Asiatic Society, with the nucleus of a Museu n, a Sailors' Home, a Polytechnic Institution for Chinese, a Scamen's Library and Museum, a well sup. plied Gymnasium, a Wind Instrument Band, which gives concerts in the Public Gar dens three times a week during the summer mouths, a Race Club, possessing a course of a mile and a quarter, a Country Club on the Bubbling Well Roa 1, a Parsee, and a Portuguese Club, also Pony Paper Hunt, Cricket, Rifle, Yacht, Racket, and various other Clubs for recreation. The last named owns a building containing two splendid Courts, Bowling Green, Tennis Lawn, etc. There are ten or eleven Masonic bodies, with over 500 members. In 1876 a District Grand Lodge for North China was con stituted, with Sbanghai as its head-quarters.

     There are four Docks at Shanghai, the one at Tunkadoo, opposite the baving a length of 380 feet over all with a depth at spring tides of 21 feet; the Old Dock at Hongkow is 400 feet long and 18 feet deep at springs, and the New Dock at Pootung at the lower end of the barbour measures 450 feet on the blocks with a depth at high water springs of about 21 feet. All steamers and most sailing vessels now discharge and load at the various public and private wharves. The premises of the Associated Wharf Company has a frontage of about three-quarters of a mile. The Chinese have an Arsenal and shipbuilding establishment at Kaou Chung-mow, a short distance above the city. The Great Northern Telegraph Company's cable was laid to Shanghai in 1871, and there are now two lines of communication with Europe. The Eastern Extension Company bas an agency for the receipt of messages. A railway constructed by a foreign company was opened to Woosung in June, 1876, but after running for sixteen months it was purchased and taken up by the Chinese Authorities. During the short time it was running the passenger traffic alone covered the working expenses, leaving sufficient profit to pay a small dividend. In 1877 the property of the Shang- hai Steam Navigation Company, a foreign association owning the principal lines of steamers trading to the Yangtsze and Northern ports, was bought by the Chinese Government, acting through the China Merchants' Steam Navigation Company, for the sum of two million taels. The property then taken over consisted of about fifteen

The hotel accomin¿dation of Sha gbai was formerly, like that of Hongkong an. Yokohama, of the most miserable di scri¡ tion, but by the opening of the "Central" and the re-bu king of the "Astor House in 1876-77, it is now in this respect unexcelled by any port in the East. There are three daily newspapers, the North China Day Ners, morning, al dhe Shanghai Courier and Shanghai Mercury, evening, also two weeklis, the North China Herald and the Celestial Empire. There are two native daily papers; one of them, the Shun-pao, sold at the pri e of eight cash, egal to a farthing and a half, has a very large circulation; the other is the organ of the officials. In one matter, that of Postal accommodation, Shanghai is incon- veniently over-supplied, there being British, French, American, Japanese, Local, and Customs Post-offices. It is hoped that the Chinese Government may soon establish a general postal departogat in connection with the International Union, to be under the control of the Foreign Customs, or that failing this the other Authorities may sent to all correspondence passing through either the British or Local Offices. A foreign hongs and even private houses have to give themselves faucy Chinese mes, by which only are they known to the natives. The system is, however, found have its convenienc s.

The currency of Shanghai is the tael of silver, cast into "shoes" of fifty taels, nore or less. The foreign hauks issue notes of the value of five taels and upwards. Sualler transactions are conducted in clean Mexican dollars and copp. r cash. There are seven foreign and innumerable native banks in the Settlement.

Shanghai is the great emporium for the trad of the Yangtsze and Northern ports and to a considerable extent for Japan. The export of Tea from 1846 to 1850 averaged sixteen million pounds, and Silk during the same period seventeen thousand bales. The total import and export trade of 1868 was sixty-five million Taels. now double that amount. The total tra le in foreign bottoms, import and export for 1880, as given by the Customs Statistical Department, was Haikwan Tls. 134,916,231, equal to about $209,000,000 or a little under for'y millions s'erling.

CHINKIANG.

     The port of Chink ang (or Chên-kiang-fu), which was declared open to foreign trade by the Treaty of Tientsin, is situated on the Yangtsze, about 150 miles from its mouth, and at the point where the Grand Canal enters the river.

The history of Chirkiang possesses but few features of interest. The position of she town, as a translation of its name implies ("River Guard"), was at one time of considerable importance from a military point of view, when all the rice-tribute from the south of China was transported to Peking by the interior route. The British forces captured the place in Jly, 1842, and as the cutting off of supplies always produces a powerful effect, the commanding situation thus secured was not long in pro- ducing the desired result upon the Central Government, for the Treaty of Nanking was signed a month afterwards. The Taiping rebels entered the town in April, 1853, and continued to occupy it till 1857, when they had to evacuate it from the same cause which had mad‹the Government yield ten years before.

The city lies between one of the mouths of the Grand Canal and the right bank of the Yangtsze. Most of the houses are built on level ground, but the surround- ing hills lend a pleasant appearance to the locality, which is enhanced considerably by the bluff scenery of the island of Ts'io-shan. When the city was abandoned by the rebel forces, its destruction was very nearly complete, and it has not yet altogether recovered its former prosperous aspect. The foreign settlement occupies a tract of land extending from the mouth of the Canal along the bank of the river. The population of Chinkiang is estimated at 130,000.

Considerable commercial importance was attached to the port when it was first opened. The largest vessels can approach it, and hopes were bigh as to the position it would occupy in the development of inland trade with China. But, like the hopes entertained respecting several of the other Chinese ports, they have proved delusive, and the trade on the Yangtsze seems to have centred at Hankow, farther up the river. The net importation of Opium into Chinking in 1880 was 10,292 piculs, against 11,097 piculs in 1879. The net value of the foreign imports for 1880 was Tis. 8,903,265. The total value of the trade of the port for 1880 amounted to Tls. 14,297,319, and in 1879 it was Tls. 13,674,598.

WUHU

    This port was opened to foreign trade, by the Choo Convention, on the 1st April, 1877. It is situated on the river Yangtsze, in the vince of An-hwei, and is a half-way port between Chink ang and Kiukiang, though nearer to the former. It has the appearance of a thriving and busy town, ard is admirably located for trade. This is mainly owing to the excellence of its water communication with the interior. A large canal, with a depth of five to six fet of water in the winter and ten to twelve feet in the summer, connects the port with the important city of Ning-kuob-fu, in southern An-hwei, fifty miles distant. Another canal runs inland for over eight miles in a south-westerly dir etion to Taiping-hsien, an extensive tea district. This canal, which is only navigable in the summer, passes through Nan-ling and King- hsin, where the cultivation of silk is carried on and may some day be of importance. Boats carrying from 200 to 300 piculs of tea can come from Tai-ping-hsier to Wuhu in the summer and autumn, but in the winter the creek is partially dry, and navigation rendered in possible. The silk districts of Nan-1ng and King-bsein are situated within fifty miles of Wuhu. Besides the canals leading to Ning-kuoh fu and Tai-ping. hsier, there are two others communicating with Su-an and Tung-pó. The Su-an canal is navigalle for small boats in summer for nearly one hundred miles, and passes through some silk producing country; while that leading to Tung-pó can be traversed by native craft of considerable size, for about seventy miles. On the northern side of the Yangtsze a fine broad canal, navigable in summer for vessels drawing ten to twelve feet of water, c nnects Wubu with Lü-c! ow-fu, the chief mercantile depôt for central Au-hwei.

It will be seen, from the above enumeration of the facilities for water carriage from Wuhu, that it is calculated to prove an emporium for commerce.

A very fair import trade has sprung up, and both that and the export trade are steadily growing. The total net value of the foreign imports for the year 1880 was Tls. 2,374,575, com- pared with Tls 2,372,504 in 1879. 3,432 ¡iculs of Opium were imported in 1880, as compared with 3,141 picu's in 1879. Te total value of the trade of the port for 1880 was Tis. 3,934,144 as against Tls. 3,563,573 in 1879.

    The town is fairly well built, with rather broader streets than most Chinese cities possess, and is tolerably paved. Its population is estimated at 40,000 inha- bitants. The anchorage is good and resembles that of Chinkiang.

KIUKLANG.

     Kiukiang is situated on the river Yangtsze, near the outlet of the Poyang Lake, and is a prefectural city of the province of Kang-si. It is distant about 137 phical miles from Hankow and 445 miles from Shanghai.

geogra-

Kiukiang was at one time a busy and populous city; but it was occupied by the Taiping rebels in 1853, and before it was given up to the Imperial troops it was utterly destroyed, presenting one of those melancholy spectacles which these hordes of usurpers left so often behind them. A gentleman (Mr. Laurence Oliphant) who visited it in 1858 speaks of the desolation of the city in the following terms:-

                                                   "We found it to the 'ast degree deplorable. A single dilapidated street, composed only of a few mean shops, was all that existed of this once thriving and populous city; the remainder of the vast area comprised within its walls, five or six miles in circumference, contained nothing but ruins, weeds, and kitchen gardens." When the foreign settle- ment was established there, however, the population soon retur:.ed, and it has con- tinued to increase rapidly: it is now estimated at 48,000.

The city is built close to the river, the walls ru: ning along the banks of it for some 500 yards. Their circumference is about five miles, but a considerable portion of the space enclosed is not occupied. The city contains no features of interest. There are several large lakes to the north and west of it, and beyond the principal suburb lies the foreign settlement. On the opening of the port considerable trouble was experienced in securing the land on which to build the foreign residences, the Chinese demanding extortionate prices for it. Indeed, so bitter was the opposition manifested that before the ground could be cleared some of the native houses had to be forcibly demolished.

     The idea which led to the opening of Kiukiang was, no doubt, its situation as regards communication by water with the districts where the Green Tea is produced. But the hopes entertained respecting Kiukiang have never been realised. The total quantity of Tea exported in 1880 was 261,495 piculs, of which 57,015 piculs were Green, the export for 1879 being 249,531 piculs. Opium was imported to the extent of 2,290 piculs in 1880, and 2,153 piculs in 1879. The total annual value of the trade of the port for 1880 was Tls. 12,741,616, and for 1879, T's. 11,254,458.

HANKOW.

      Hankow is situated on the river Han at the point where it enters the Yangtsze, and is in lat. 30 deg. 32 min. 51 sec. N., and long. 114 deg. 19 min. 55 sec. E. The natives look upon Hankow as only a suburb of Hauyang, which it immediately adjoins, and which is a district city of the provirce of Hupeb. These two towns lie immediately facing the city of Wuchang-fu, the capital of the province, which is built upon the south bank of the Yangtsze. Hankow is distant from Shanghai about 600 miles.

      Lord Elgin visited Hankow in 1858, and must have been one of the first foreign- ers who ever entered this inland city. Attention was first drawn to it as a place of trade by Huc, a French missionary, whose writings on China are less popular cow than they used to be, but it is generally believed that this reverend father bad never been within many miles of the place, and had drawn largely on his fertile imagina- tion for his details. Sir James Hope and Sir Harry Parkes were in Hankow in 1861, when the port was opened.

Captain Blakiston, in his work "The Yangtsze," gives the following description of the place and its surroundings:-" Hankow is situated just where an irregular range of semi-detached low bills crosses a particularly level country on both sides of the main river in an east and west direction. Stationed on Pagoda Hill, a spectator looks down on almost as much water as land even when the rivers are low. At his feet sweeps the magnificent Yangtsze, nearly a mile in width; from the west and skirting the northern edge of the range of hills already mentioned, comes the river Han, narrow and canal like, to add its quota, and serving as one of the highways of the country; and to the north-west and north is an extensive treeless flat, so little elevated above the river that the scattered hamlets which dot its surface are without exception raised on mounds, probably artificial works of a now distant age. A stream or two traverse its farther part and flow into the main river. Carrying his eye to the right bank of the Yangtsze one sees enormous lakes and lagoons both to the north-west and south-east sides of the hills beyond the provincial city."

When the port was opened the natives, as at several other new ports, put many difficulties in the way of fixing a site for the British Settlement. They demanded excessive prices for the lots marked off for occupation, and it was not till the port had been open for some time, and many residents had temporarily taken up an abode on the Hanyang shore, that an arrangement was arrived at. The site chosen is very bad, both from a sanitary and commercial point of view. A French Settlement was also fixed upon, but it has never been occupied. The population of Hankow is es- timated at 600,000.

Great expectations as regards trade were entertained respecting the opening of Hankow. Foreign commerce would, it was thought, be brought into immediate contact with the large internal populations of China, and a port established in the locality of the great tea producing districts. These expectations, however, have been but partially realised. Tea is, of course, the staple export, and it is at Hankow that the first steamers for home take in their cargoes. The total export of Tea from Hankow (including re-exports from Kiukiang) amounted in 1880 to 617,229 piculs, as compared with 541,212 piculs shipped in 1879. In 1880 Opium was imported to the extent of 2,554 piculs as against 3,294 piculs in 1879. The total value of the trade of the port in 1880 amounted to Tls. 42,285,209, and in 1879 to Tls. 36,194,494.

This is one of the four ports opened to foreign trade on the 1st April, 1877, according to the provisions of Clause I. of Section III. of the Chefoo Convention. Ichang is a prefectural city, of considerable official importance, in the province of Hupeb. It is situated on the river Yangtsze, about 363 miles from Hankow. The navigation of the river up to this port is easy for vessels of light draught, but the minimum depth of water at Ichang in only seven or eight feet. There is good anchorage at and near the city. Few cities in China are more strikingly situated; none can surpass it for uncleanliness. The port is the centre of a fairly rich country. Be- sides the common productions of the great plain of Hupeh, the cultivation of the tungtsze tree, from which the tung oil is expressed, begins on the bills near Ichang and extends westward into Szechuen. Opium is grown in considerable quantities in the district and greatly interferes with the import of the foreign drug. Ichang is conveni- ently situated as a mart for the tea districts of Hob-fung-chow, the produce of which might, it is thought, be made suitable for foreign use. It was generally supposed that, as Ichang is situated at the head of steamer navigation on the Yangtsze and occupies a good position for trade, the port would speedily become an important commercial centre. For the first three years these anticipations appeared little like- ly to be realised: the port cut a miserable figure the first year of its existence as a treaty port. The returns for 1880 show, however, that Icbang is becoming a con- siderable distributing centre, and its inward transit trade is now only second to that of Haukow. The total value of the trade for 1880 amounted to Tla. 2,093,780, as compared with Tls. 612,508 in 1879, and Tls. 71,014 in 1878. Scarcely any for n Opium is imported at this port, the native drug being generally used. The estimated population of the port is 33,569.

CHUNGKING.

Chungking, one of the most important places in the large inland province of Szechuen, is situated in lat. 29 deg. 33 min. 30 sec. N., and long. 107 deg. 2 min. E., and occupies a rocky peninsula at the junction of the river Kia-ling-kiang with the Upper Yangtsze, some 1,250 miles from the month of that great river. It is enclosed by somewhat low but strong walls, about five miles in circumference, which enclose the entire peninsula, and have seventeen gates, only nine of which open. The walls were rebuilt in 1761 by the then Viceroy. The city is closely built, every available bit of ground being covered wit buildings. The population is estimated at 250,000, which includes that of Kiang-peh Ting, a suburb on the opposite side of the Kia-ling, wrongly described by Blakiston as Li-min.

    The city is the headquarters of a large and thriving trails, and from its situation must naturally be a very important mart, but its capabilities and trade have been over-estimated, as also have the resources of the province of Sz chuen, of which it is the c.mmercial capital, and it will probably be some time before foreigners will ask for it to be opened to trade. Under the provisions of the Cheloo Co .vention, a Br tish Con- sular Agent is allowed to reside in Chungking to watch the conditions of British trade in Sz chuen, but no attempt his yet been male to make the ascent of the Yangisze to that point in steamers. A considerable quantity of British and foreign manufactured goods, however, find their way to Chungking in native craft uited for the navigation of the rapids. The Yuugtsze is about 300 yards wide at Chungking, but it is na- vigable for boats of light draug it as far as Cheng-ta. From Chungking to this city the Yangtze is properly called the Min-kiang, The Kia-ling is a river of some importaues, aa la considerable traffic is done on it. Cogking, like most Chinese cities, though plasingly and picturesquely situated, is dirty and repulsive up ›n close inspection.

CHEFOO.

     Chefoo is situated on the northern side of the Shantung Promontory, in lat, 37 deg. 35 min. 56 sec. N, and long. 124 deg. 22 min. 33 sec. E. The desiguation by which it is generally known among foreigners is a misnomer, as the town of Yentai is really the port to which the namo has come to be applied. Chefoo is a barbour in the locality of Yeutai, but has no connection with it.

When the town was first o'cupied by the merchants of other nations, it was in the possession of a number of French troops, and no definito foreign settlement was then marked out. The consequence is that no plan has ever been adopted in the arrangement of the houses, and many of them have been in time surrounded by native buildings. The Chinese town is squalid and uninteresting. It is built on the shore, and possesses a fire sandy beach. The surrounding country is gently undulated for some little distance from the town, and beyond that the hills rise to a considerable height and lend to the landscape an interesting and varied aspect.

     Chefoo of late years has become the resort of many foreign residents in China in consequence of its very salubrious climat". It is said to be the healthiest port in China. In winter, when the Pei-ho is fiozen, merchandise and mails for Tientsin and some of the more northern cities are landed at this port and conveyed to their destina tions overlang. The barbour is commodious and possesses sufficient depth of water for vessels of considerable draught, but it is exposed to strong gales which prevail at certain seasons of the year. Chefoo will be benceforth noted as the place where Sir Thomas Wade and Grand Secretary Li Hung-chang concluded the "Chefoo Convention" in September, 1876, and thus brought to a termination the negotiations which had been pending so long respecting the reparation demanded by the British Government for the murder of Mr. A. R. Margary in Yunnau. The population of Chefoo is estimated at 35,000.

The trade of Chefoo, like that of N.webwang, is principally in Beancake and Beans, of which large quantities are annually exported to the southern ports cf China. In 1880, the net export of Beancake amounted to 967,717 piculs and of Beans to 189,873 piculs as against 1,184,534 piculs of the former and 193,601 piculs of the latter in 1879. The quantity of Opium imported in 1880 amounted to 2,402 piculs as compared with 3,536 piculs in 1879. This import steadily declined for several years, owing partly to the increased cultivation of the poppy in Shantang and partly to the dreadful famines which have desolated the province, but revived again in 1878 and 1879, probably on account of a decreased production of the ra ́ive drug; last year it showed a large decline, owing to the poppy being again extensively cultivated. The total value of the trade of the port for 180 was Tls. 9,905,815, and for 1879 to Tls. 10,963,498.

TAKU.

This village is situated at the mouth of the Pei-ho, on the southern side of the river, about sixty-seven miles from Tientsin. The land is so flat at Taku that it is difficult for a stranger to detect the entrance to the river. There are two anchorages, an outer and inner. The former extends from the Customs Junks to three miles outside the Bar, seaward; the latter from Liang-kia-yuan on the south to the Customs Jetty, Tz'chu-lin, ou the north. The village is a poor one, possessing few shops, no buildings of interest except the forts, and the only foreign residents are the Customs emplovés, some pilots, and the members of the Vice-Consular establish- ment. A British Vice-Consul is stationed at Taku and receives the papers of all British sailing vessels bound for Tientsin as well as Taku; steamers retain theirs until arrival at Tientsin. A line of telegraph was constructed in the early part of 1879 from Taku to Tientsin by the Provincial Authorities, and is now regularly worked by them.

TAKU-TIENTSIV.

,

Taku is mer rable on account of the engagements that have taken place between its forts a. the British and French naval forces. The first attack was made on the 20th M. 1858, by the British squadron under Sir Michael Seymour, when the forts were passed and Lord Elgin proceeded to Tientsin, where on the 26th June he signed the famous Treaty of Tientsin. The second attack, which was fatally unsuccessful, was made by the British forces in June, 1859. The third took place on the 21st August, 1860, when the forts were captured, the booms placed across the river destroyed, and the British ships sailed triumphantly up to Tientsin. From the- description of the place in "The Treaty Ports of China," we gather that the water on the bar ranges from about two to fourteen feet at the Spring tides. · The Cinese name of the bar is Lau-kiang-sha. At certain states of the tide, steamers are obliged. to anchor outside until there is sufficient water to cross, but they are seldom detained very long.

Towards the end of autumn it sometimes happens that the river is so low that vessels drawing over seven feet of water are unable to get up to Tientsin, but this is by no means a common occurrence. The river and the northern edge of the gulf are generally frozen in about the 9th December, and few vessels attempt an entry after the end of November. The ice breaks up, as a rule, about the second week in March.

TIENTSIN.

    Tientsin is situated at the junction of the Grand Canal with the Peiho river in lat. 39 deg. 3 min. 55 sec. N. and long. 117 deg. 3 min. 55 sec. E. I is distant from Peking by river about 80 miles. It was formerly only a military station, but towards the close of the 17th century it became a place of some importance. The walled portion is small compared with the burbs, the circumference of the walls being only a little over three miles. The ncipal trade is carried on in the suburbs. The purely native city has the reputation of being exceptionally dirty, and the stench from open drains in and about the city is said to be the cause of a high rate of mortality there. There are a number of soap-boiling works in the neighbourhood, and the smell that arises from them is most disagreeable.

A number of foreigners live in the suburbs of the native city, but the concession, which is situated about a mile and a half farther down on the south bank of the river, has been largely taken up during the last few years, and is now pretty well covered with buildings.

    Tientsin will always be famous for the Treaty signed by Lord Elgin in a temple since called the Treaty Temple, or Elgin's Jo ¡s-house, on the 26th June, 1858,

TIENTSIN.

and known as the Treaty of l'rentsin. The port is also infamously notorious for the massacre of the French Sisters of Charity and other foreigners on the 21st June, 1870, by a Chinese mob, under circumstances of shocking brutality. A small daily paper called the Northern Post was started on the 1st December last. Tientsin is now connected with Shangbai by telegraph, a line baving been constructed overland last year and opened to traffic on the 28th December. The population of Tientsin is estimated at 930,000.

There is a fair foreign trade done at Tientsin compared with the other open ports. When the port was first opened, it is said that money was picked up very quickly by the few merchants then on the scene. In course of time, however, the Chinese began to make headway, and they have the trade now pretty well in their own hands. A recent Customs' report speaks of one great advantage that natives here have over foreign competitors. The former "purchase their stocks in Shanghai when there is a favourable market, rarely if ever insure their goods, and by selling in small quan- tities, and constituting themselves their own salesmen, at once procure ready buyers, and save the standing commission to which the compradores of foreigners are entitled." The export trade of Tientsin is very small compared with the import. Cotton is cultivated in the locality, and some years ago great expectations were entertained concerning it. Coal, it is believed, will shortly be exported in large quantities when the coal mines are in full working order. The Tea exported goes principally to Russia and Siberia, via Kiachta. In 1889, 296,869 piculs were exported by this route, compared with 400,004 piculs in 1879. Opium to the extent of 3,219 piculs was imported in 1880, as compared with 5,181 piculs in 1879. The total value of the trade of the port in 1880 was Tls. 21,668,434 as compared with Tis. 24,365,442 in 1879.

PEKING.

The present capital of China was formerly the Northern capital only, as its name denotes, but it is now really the metropolis of the Central Kingdom. Peking is situated on a sandy plain 13 miles S.W. of the Pei-ho river, and about 110 miles from its mouth, in latitude 39 deg. 54 min. N. and longitude 116 deg. 27 min. E. or nearly on the parallel of Naples. A canal connects the city with the Pei-ho. Peking is ill adapted by situation to be the capital of a great Empire, nor is it in a position to become a great manufacturing or industrial centre. The products of all parts of China naturally find their way to the seat of Government, but it gives little save bullion in return.

From Dr. Dennys's description of Peking we quote the following brief historical sketch: "The city formerly existing on the site of the southern portion of Peking was the capital of the Kingdom of Yan. About 222 B.C., this kingdom was over- thrown by the Chin dynasty and the seat of Government was removed elsewhere. Taken from the Ching by the Khoitans about 936 A.D., it was some two years after- wards made the southern capital of that people. The Kin dynasty subduing the Khaitans, in their turn took possession of the capital calling it the Western Residence.' About A.D. 1151, the fourth sovereign of the Kins transferred the court thither, and named it the Central Residence. In 1215, it was captured by Genghis Khan. In 1264, Kublai Khan fixed his residence there, giving it the title of Chung- tu, or Central Residence, the people at large generally calling it Shun-l'ien-fu. In 1267 A.D., the city was transferred 3 li (oue mile) to the North of its then site, and it was then called Ta-tu- the Great Residence.' The old portion became what is now known as the 'Chinese city' and the terms Northern' and 'Southern' city, or more commonly nei-cheng (within the wall) and wai-cheng (without the wall) came into

use.

The native Emperors who succeeded the Mongol dynasty did not, however, continue to make 1 king the seat of Government. The court was shortly afterwards removed to Nanking, which was considered the chief city of the Empire until, in 1421, Yung Lo, the third Emperor of the Ming dynasty, again beld his court at Peking, since which date it has remained the capital of China."

The present city of Peking is divided into two portions, the Northern or Tartar city and the Southern or Chinese. The former is being gradually encroached upon by the Chinese, and the purely Manchu section of the capital will soon be very limited. The southern city is almost exclusively occupied by Chinese. The general shape of Peking may be roughly represented by a square placed upon an oblong, the former standing for the Tartar and the latter for the Chinese city. The whole of the capital is, of course, walled. The walls of the Tartar city are the strongest. They average 50 feet in hight and 40 in width, and are buttressed at intervals of about 60 yards. The parapets are loop-holed and crenelated. They are faced on both sides with brick, the space between being filled with earth and concrete. Each of the gateways is surmounted by a three-storied dagoda. The walls of the Chinese city are about 30 feet in hight, 25 feet thick at the base, and 15 feet wide on the terre plein. The total circumference of the walls round the two cities slightly exceeds twenty miles.

   The Tartar city consists (Dr. Williams tell us) of three enclosures, one within the other, each surrounded by its own wall. The innermost, called Kin-ching or Prohibited City, contains the Imperial Palace and its surrounding buildings; the second is occupied by the several offices appertaining to the Government and by private residences of officials; while the outer consists of dwelling-houses, with shops in the chief avenues. The Chinese city is the business portion of Peking, but it presents few features of interest to the sight-seer, while the enclosure known as the

   Prohibited City is, as its title denotes, forbidden to all foreign visitors. The numerous temples, the walls, the Imperial Observatory, the Foreign Legations, and the curio shops are the chief attractions to the tourist. The streets of the Chinese metropolis are kept in a most disgraceful condition. In the dry season the pedestrian sinks deep in noxious dust, and in wet weather he is liable to be drowned in the torrents that rush along the thoroughfares, where the constant traffic has worn away the soil. There is an air of decay about Peking, which extends even to the finest of the temples. The population of Peking is not accurately known, but according to a Chinese estimate, which is probably slightly in excess, it is 1,300,000, of whom 900,000 reside in the Tartar aud 400,000 in the Chinese city. There is no direct foreign trade with Peking, and the small foreign population is made up of the members of the various Legations, the Maritime Custoins establishment, the professors at the College of Peking, and the missionary body.

NEWCHWANG.

Newch wang is the most northerly port in China open

                                       foreign trade. It is situated in the province of Shing-king, in Meburia. It is called by the natives Ying-tz, and lies about thirteen miles from the mouth of the river Liao, which falls into the Gulf of Liao-tung, a continuation of the Gulf of Fechili.

NEWCHWANG,

    Before the port was opened, comparatively little was known of this part of the Central Kingdom. Situated in a wild region, the greater part of which was a few years since little else but a wilderness, it was never visited by outsiders.

                                              Manchuria is now, however, being rapidly colonised by the Chinese, who already outnumber the natives. The word Ying-tz means military station, and that was the only use formerly made of the place. Between the years 1858 and 1860, the British fleet assembled in Ta lienwan Bay, and early in 1861 the foreign settlement was established. The town of Newchwang itself is distant from Ying-tz about thirty miles, and is a sparsely populated and unimportant place.

    The country about the port of Newchwang is bare and desolate, and in sailing up the river one encounters anything but a pleasant prospect. Ying-tz is surrounded by dreary marshes, and the laud under cultivation produces principally Beans. The river is closed by ice for more thin three months every year, during which period the residents are entirely cut off from the outer world. The climate, however, is healthy and bracing. The population of the place is estimated at 60,000.

The net

The chief articles of trade of the port are Beans and Bean-cake, 2,120,819 piculs of the former and 1,350,918 piculs of the latter being exported in 1880 as against 1,858,444 piculs and 1,800,523 piculs respectively in 1879. The trade in Beans and Bean-cake bas shown a pretty steady increase during the last thirteen years. quantity of Opium imported in 1880 was 1,186 picùls as against 2,453 piculs in 1879. The quantity of Opium imported has fluctuated a good deal during the last few years, but generally speaking the decline has been constant, the puppy being largely and successfully cultivated in Manchuria. The total value of the trade of the port for 1880 amounted to Tls. 6,725,036 as against Tls. 8,214,614 in 1879.

CONSTITUTION AND GOVERNMENT.

    The system of government of the Japanese Empire is that of an absolute monarchy. It was adopted in the year 1368, when the now ruling sovereign overthrew, after a short War, the power

             of the Shogun, together with that of the Daimios, or feudal nobles, who on the 25th June, 1869, resigned their lands, revenues, and retainers to the Mikado, by whom they were permitted to retain one-tenth of their original in- comes, but ordered to reside in the capital in future. The sovereign bears the name of Supreme Lord, or Emperor; but the appellation by which he is generally known in foreign countries is the ancient title of Mikado.

Mutsu-hito, the reigning monarch, was born at Kioto, on September 22nd, 1852 ; succeeded his father, Komei Tenno, 1867; married December 28th, 1868, to Princess Haru-ko, born April 17th, 1850, danghter of Prince Itchijo. The reigning Emperor is the 123rd of an unbroken dynasty, which was founded 666 B.C. By the ancient and regular law of succession the crown devolves upon the eldest son, and, failing male issue, upon the eldest daughter of the sovereign. This law has often been disregarded in consequence of the partiality of the monarch or the ambition of powerful ministers, which was one of the principal causes that culminated in the dual system of Government in Japan. The old law of succession has, however, been restored during the present reign. The Throne has frequently been occupied by a female.

The power of the Mikado is really absolute, but its exercise is controlled to some extent by custom and public opinion. The Emperor himself, in 1875, when the Senate and Supreme Judicial Tribunal were founded, solemnly declared his earnest desire to have a constitutional system of government. Since that time any legislative measure, before becoming law, must go before the Senate for discussion and pass that assembly by a majority of votes. The Mikado bas long been regarded as the spiritual as well as the temporal head of the Empire, but although the present sovereign is favourable to the Shinto faith, he does not actively interfere in religious matters, and all religions are tolerated in Japan. The Ecclesiastical Department was in 1877 reduced to a simple bureau under the control of the Minister of the Interior. The Mikado acts through an Executive Ministry divided into ten departments, namely:-The Kunai Sho (Imperial Household), Gai Mu Sho (Foreign Affairs), Nai Mu Sho (Interior), O Kura Sho (Finance), Ko Bu Sho (Public Works), Kai Gun Sho (Navy), Riku Gun Sho (Army), Shi Ho Sho (Justice), Mom Bu Sho (Education) and Kai Taku Shi (Colonization Department), which latter administers the affairs of the Island of Yesso. The Government has been re-organized during the last few years. The Sain, or Left, was abolished in 1875, and the Shoin, or Centre, in 1877. In place of these the Gen Ro In (the Senate), and the Daishin Tu (the Supreme Judicial Tribunal) have been established, and, united with the Dai-jo-kwan (Imperial Council of State), form the Administrative Authority. The Dui Jo Kwan, the centre of the Executive power, consists of the Prime Minister, Vice-Minister, and the Singi or Councillors. The Council is presided over by the Mikado. The ministers decide ordinary questions, only measures of Imperial importance being submited for the decision of the Mikado. The Gen Ro In discusses and elaborates or modifies all laws prepared by the Dai Jo- Kwan for enactment. The Daishin In has the power of reviewing and annulling the decrees of inferior courts. In Sptember, 1881, in a proclamation the Mikado announced his intention of granting a constitution and representative Government to Japan in the year 1890,

The Empire is divided for administrative purposes into three Fu, or cities (Tokių, Kioto, and Osako), and thirty-seven Ken, or districts, including the Loochoo İslands, which have recently been converted into a ken. These fu and ken are governed by prefects. The prefects of the three cities are of higher rank and have more extensive powers than those of the kens. The latter are all on an equal footing, are under control of the Nai Mu Sho, and have limited powers, being required to submit every matter, unless there is a precedent for it, to the Minister of the Interior. Nor have they any concern in judicial proceedings since the establishment

of the twenty-three local Courts and the foor Supreme Courts at Tohio, Sendai, Nagasaki, and Osaka, over which the Daishin In presides at Tʊkio.

Previous to the last change of Government, which restore the ancient Imperial régime, the administrative authority rested with the Shogun (Mili ary Commander) whom foreigners were at first led to recognise as the temporal sovereign, and with whom they negotiated treaties of peace and commerce. The Shogunate was founded in 1184 by Yoritomo, a gezeral of great powers and ability, and was continued through several dynasties until 1869, when the Tokugawa family were dispossesed of the usurped authority. Under the Shogun two bundred and filty Daimios (feudal princes) shared the administrative power, being practically supreme in their res ective domains, conlitiona ly upon their loyalty to the Shogun; and the Mikao's power was thus reduced to a shadow. A list of Daimios, published at Yedo (now Tokio) in 1862, stated their incomes to vary from 10,000 koku of rice to 1,500,000, vhle that of the Shogun is said to have amounted to 8,000,000 koku. All these prings, after the overthrow of the Shogunate, surrendered at will their estats and every attribute of authority to the Mikado, and are now ranked as kuazoku (noblemen), quietly living in Tokio.

The armed force of Japan is divided into the Standing Army, the Reserve, and the Militia, and the troops into five classes. The Standing Army comprises 40 battalions of Infantry, and one of Cavalry, 18 companies Artillery, 10 companies Engineers, 6 companies of Transport Corps, and 9 companies Marine Artillery. When on a peace footing the Army numbers about 32,300 men, and on a war footing 50,000 men. They are stationed in various parts of the Empire, which is divided into six military districts, having headquarters at Tokio, Nagoya, Sendai, Osaka, Hiroshima, and Kumamoto. Camps are established in 37 places. Not included in the above are the Imperial Guard, composed of about 3,700 picked troops, which bring up the strength of the regular army, in time of peace, to some 36,000. The army has been organised on the French system by officers sp cially selected by the French Government.

The navy of Japau consists of one ironclad frigate, three ironclad corvettes, one ironclad gunboat, five wooden corvettes, ten gunboats, six despatch vessels, and five training ships, all steamers. The largest of these ships, the ironclad frigate Fu-so, was built by Messrs. Samuda, Brothers, at Poplar, London, and despatched to Jaj an in March, 1878. The Fu-so has a burthen of 3,700 tons displacement, with engines of 3,500 horse-power.

              The armour is from 7 inches to 9 inches in thickness, while the armament consists of four 15-ton and two 5-ton steel breechloaders by Krupp, so arranged as to command every point of the horizon. The second largest ship of the navy is an ironclad corvette, called the Kon-go, constructed at Earle's shipbuilding yard, Hull, after the design of Sir E. J. Reed, and which arrived in Japan in 1878. The Kon-go has a burthen of 2,800 tons displacement, with engines of 2,500 horse-power, and has a belt of armour 43 inches thick. The armament consists of 12 Krupp guns, capable of throwing steel shells of 142 pounds. The Hi-yei, a sister ship to the Kon-go, wis also built at Hull, and arrived in Japan in 1878. The navy is manned by 4,241 officers and men, and carries 146 guns.

POPULATION, Trade, and INDUSTRY.

The total area of Japan is estimated at 156,604 square miles, with a population of 35,768,584, namely, 18,140,857 males and 17,627,727 females, according to official reports of the year 1879. The empire is geographically divided into the four islands, Hondo, the central and most important territory; Kiushiu, "the nine provinces,"

the south-western island; Sikoku, "the four states," the southern island; and Yesso, the most northerly and least developed. The former three islands are sub-divided into eight large roads, containing sixty-six provinces, ard the latter (Yesso) is divided into eleven provinces. Administratively, as before mentione, the Empire is divided into fu and ken, each ken containing more than one province.

Education is very general in Japan, and is making greater progress than before the revolution which made Japan a monarchy. In 1871, the Mikado appointed a Board of Public Instruction, which is reported to be very active. The number of elementary schools in 1880 was 25,459, of which 24,281 were public schools and 1,178 private schools. Of Middle Schools there are 31 public and 358 private establishments. There are 98 Normal Schools; and Colleges for special studies, such as Law, Medicine, Mining, Agriculture, and Foreign Languages, have been established, and are carefully fostered by the Government. In order to facilitate the acquirement of foreign languages, the Government of the Mikado engaged many Eurovean pro- fessors, and also sent, at the public expense, a large number of students to America and Europe.

      The total value of the foreign trade of Japan was, according to consular reports, as follows in each of the nine years 1872 to 1880:-

The two staple articles of import into Japan, in the year 1880 were cotton and woollen fabrics, the for ner of the value of $13,433,808, and the latter of the value of $4,212,377; the value of mixed cotton and woollen goods was $1,881,770. The two staple articles of export in the year 1879 were raw silk, of the value of $9,962,879, and tea, of the value of $7,497,922. The commercial intercourse of Japan is carried on mainly with two countries, namely, Great Britain and the United States of America, the former absorbing more than two-thirds of the whole.

By treaties made with a number of foreign Governments-with the United States in March, 1854; with Great Britain in October, 1854 ; with Russia and the Netherlands in 1855; with France, in 1858; with Portugal, in 1860; with Prussia and the German Zollverein. in 1861; with Switzerland, in 1864; with Italy and Belgium, in 1866; with De k in 1867; with Sweden and Norway and Spain in 1868; with Austria in 1867 and with China in 1871-the Japanese ports of Kanagawa (Yokohama), Nagr Hiogo, Hakodate, Niigata, and the cities of Tokio (formerly called Yedo)

and Osaka were thrown open to foreign commerce. A revision of the treaties is Desir by the Japanese Government, and will probably be carried out during the current year.

The first line of railway, from Yokohama to Tokio, 18 miles long, was opened for traffe on the 12th of June, 1872; a line was also opened from Hiogo to Osaka, was extended in 1877 to the city of Kioto, and thence to Lake Biwa, and is now being continued to the north-west coast of Japan. Several extensive schemes for the connection of the principal cities of the Empire by rail have been projected, some of which will shortly be uud-riaken.

The ports of Yokohama, Hiogo, Osaka, Nagasaki, and Hakodate are connected with each other, and with Free, by lines of telegraph, and the telegraph system bas lately been extended to all the important towns of the Empire. Japan has joined the Universal Postal Unich, and for the past twelve mouths has conducted the international as well as domestic postal service.

NAGASAKI.

     Yagasaki is a city of great antiquity, and in the early days of European inter- course with the Far East was the most important seat of the foreign trade with Japan. It is admirably situated on the south-western coast of the island of Kiushiu. A melancholy interest attaches to the neighbourhood as the scene of the extinc- tion of Christianity in the kingdom and the extermination of the professors of that religion in 1637. Near the harbour lies the celebrated island of Pappenberg, where thousands of Christian martyrs were thrown over the hi 'h cliff rather than go through the form of trampling on the cross. Not far from Nagasaki is als, the village of Mogibay, where 37,000 Cristia s suffered death in defending themselves against the forces sent to subdue them. When the Christian religion was crushed and the foreigners expelled, to the Dutch alone was ext nded the privilege of trading with Japan, an1 th y were confined to a small patch of ground at Nagasaki called Desima, the monotony of their life being 1 rok n only by the yearly arrival and departure of the one or two ships in which the tra le between J..pan and the West was at that time carried

By the treaty of 1858, Nagasaki was one of the ports opened to British trade on the 1st July in the following year. On entering the harbour of Nagasaki no stranger can fail to e struck with the admirable situation of the town and the beautiful panorama of billy scenery op-ed to his view. The harbour is a landlocked inlet eeply indented with small bays, about three miles long with a width varying from Lala-mile to a mile. The native town is on the eastern side of the harbour, and is sout two miles long by about three-quarters of a mile in extreme width. The foreign bertlement adjoins the native town on the south side. The chief mercantile houses are situated on the bund facing the harbour, behind which are a few streets running parallel with it, and there are a number of private residences on the hill side. There are English and Roman Catholic churches and a commodious club. The climate of Nagasaki.is mild and salubrious, but in summer it is hot during the day by reason of its geographical position in a hollow surround d by hills.

Aiter the opening of the port the trade for several years steadily developed, but the Cousular reports for the last few years show a continuous decline. Mr. Consul Flowers in his report for 1876 sponks of good roads as being the great requirement to comment the port with the traffic of the neighbouring dis riets, but, he says, the want of roads, although it might account for a low development, or even for a stationary con/"ition of tra-lo, can scarcely be accepted as a reason for the continual and lament- all falling off whies has been shown of late y ar.... This decline be ascribes to the impoverishment caused by a too severe drain of tunds towards the central Govern- ment. The country people in this portion of Japan, though pretty well off, so far as actual necessaries are concerned, ale not rich, bav ug little proû able utlet for cheir surplus poductions; the r availble funds are, therefore, soon absorbel, and the heary land tax imposed upon the population is much felt, and more so, doubtless,

since its collection in money instead of in kind, a Formerly. Latterly there hae been some slight improvement in the export trade of the port.

The chief articles of import are cotton and woollen nauufactures.

                               The principat articles of exports are coal, tea, camphor, river, vegetable wax, tobacco, and dried fish. There are several productive coal mines on the islands near Nagasaki, of which the Takasim mine, which is under European management, is the most important. Mr. Consul Flowers says the probabilities are that one vast coal-field exists under the sea running from the peninsula of Nomo towards Matsushima and Hirado, and when this field is en'er d by safe means, through the overlaying islands, an enormous extent of coal will be available. The Mike coal mines come next to the Taka-ima in importance; the output from these in 1880 was 159,822 tous.

The value of the for ign import trade of Nagasaki during the year 1880 was $1,278.066 as compared with $1,674,652 in 1879, and that of the foreign export trade, $2,297,591 as against $1,982,027 in 1879. Coal is the staple article of export.

The population of Nagasaki in 1876 was 47,412. The number of foreign residents, as given in the Consular report for 1880, was 777, of whom 522 were Chinese, 103 British, 34 American, and the rest of various nationalities. foreign weekly paper entitled the Rising Sun is publis ed in the port.

KOBE (HIOGO).

Kobe is the foreign port of the adjacent city of Hiogo and was opened to foreign trade in 1968. It is finely situated at the gate of the far-famed Inland Sea. The harbour is good and affords safe anchorage for vessels of almost any size. The town, which is in the province of Settsu, is distant only sixteen miles from Osaka, with which city it is connected by rail. This line, which has been extended to Kioto (the ancient capital of Japan), a distance of 27 miles from Osaka, was formally opened to traffic along its whole length by the Mikado on the 5th February, 1877, and has since been worked with freedom and regularity. A further ex- tension from Kioto to Lake Biwa is now oper, and this is now being carried on to the north-west coast. The connection of Osaka with Hiogo by rail has naturally tended to centralise trade at the port of shipment. Among the exports, tea, tobacco, camphor, copper, vegetable wax, and fans take the lead. The value of the foreign import trade for 1880 was $7.847,566; that of the exports $5,323,697. In 1879, the value of the imports was $7,051,154, and that of the exports $5,466,990. The quantity of tea shipped from Hiogo in the season 1880-81 was 15,426,662 lbs., compared with 13,710,439 s. in 1879-80, and 9,723,186 lbs. in 1878-79. The whole of this went to the United States of America and Canada. The population of Hiego, as given by the last census, was 204,000. The foreign residents in Kobe in 1880 numbered 889, of whom 516 wero Chinese, 216 British, 50 German, and 49 American. A foreign daily newspaper, styled the Hiogo News, is published at this port.

OSAKA.

Osaka is the second city in Japan in point of size and commercial importance, and bas not inaptly been termed the Venice of the Far East, owing to the manuer in which it is intersected by canals. It is situated in the province of Settsu, and is built on the banks of the river Ajikawa, about five miles from the sea. The river is only navigable for small vessels, and on the opening of the railway to Hiogo the foreign trade of Osaka commenced to decline. Almost all the foreign firms in the latter city have removed to Hiogo, and there is now not a single British firm in Osaka. The most imposing and at the same time the most interesting object to be seen in Osaka is the Castle, erected in 1583 by one of the Shoguns, the famous Tai-ko-Sama. Though less extensive than that of Tokio, it is a much grander and more striking edifice, and is indeed, on the whole, the first among the many hundreds of castles in Japan. It is now occupied by the Osaka garrison, and forms the headquarters of one of the six great military districts. The city is the seat of the provincial government, which is called Fucho, in contradistinction to the other provincial governments, which are termed Kencho. Osaka is the seat of numerous industries, and the Imperial Mint is located there. In 1876 coins to the value of $6,613,405 were struck at this Mint, in 1877 to the value of $5,701.555, in 1878 to the value of $4,615,676, in 1880 to the value of $6,899,084, and a continuous supply of yen (dollars) is issued from the establishment, which are of similar weight and fineness to the Mexican dollar, but owing to Chinese combination they only obtain currency in China and Hongkong at a discount. The population of the city is given as 549,210; the number of foreign residents in 1880 was 177, of whom 133 were Chinese. The value of the imports for 1880 was 931,499, compared with 547,563 in 1879, and that of the exports $471,167 as against $351,172 in 1879.

YOKOHAMA.

Yokohama is the principal Treaty port of Japan, and was opened to foreign trade in July, 1859. It is situated on the Bay of Yokohama, a small bay on the Western side of the Gulf of Yedo, in lat. 35 deg. 26 min. 11 sec. N., and long. 139 deg. 39 min. 20 sec., in the island of Hondo, and is distant about eighteen miles from the capital, with which it is connected by a line of railway. The settlement stands on what was originally a swamp, and-the town having sprung up only since the site was select- ed for a treaty port instead of the little town of Kanagawa-possesses few attrac- tions for the visitor. The scenery around, however, is hilly and pleasing, and on a clear day the snow-crowned summit of Fusiyama, a volcanic mountain 13,000 feet bigh-celebrated in Japanese literature and depicted on so many native works of art is clearly visible. Yokohama is compactly built of low houses with tiled roofs. The town is divided into two nearly equal parts, the western half being occupied by the foreign settlement. Beyond the plain on which the town is built rises a sort of semicircle of low hills called "The Bluff," which is thickly dotted with handsome villas and dwelling-houses in various styles of architecture, all standing in preity gardens. From these dwellings charming prospects are obtainable. Along the water-front of the foreign settlement runs a fine broad street called the Bund, on which, facing the water, stand many of the principal houses and hotels. The streets in the foreign settlement are well paved, kerbed, and drained. There are Anglicar, French Catholic, Union Protestant, and native Mission Churches in the settlement. Yokohama has greatly increased in importance of late years, but the export trade does not make satisfactory progress. There are three English daily papers publish- ed in the port, namely, the Japan Gazette, the Japan Herald, and the Japan Daily Mail; the latter has also a weekly edition. In addition to these there are two French papers, L'Echo du Japon and the Courrier du Japon.

The entire population of Yokohama was, according to a census taken in 1879, 67,499. The number of foreign residents in 1880 was 3,871, of whom 2,505 were Chinese, 567 British, 250 American, 200 German, 102 French, 51 Dutch, 45 Portu- gue e, 42 Russian, and the remainder of various nationalities.

    The imports into Yokohama consist chiefly of cotton and woollen goods. In 1880, according to the British Consul's report, the value of the different classes of imports was as follows:-Cotton manufactures, $11,200,918; woollen manufac- tures, $2,307,784; mixed cotton and woollen, $1,326,517; metals, $1,191,327; arms and ammunition, $187, 399; miscellaneous foreign, $6,608,481; miscellaneous local, $3,5 20,682; total 26,348,108. The total value of the exports was $18,577,913. Silk is the most valuable of the exports, being set down at $9,962,872. The value of the tea exported was $4,725,361. The total export of raw silk during the season from 1st July, 1880, to same date 1881, only half of which period is covered by the Con- sular returns, was, according to the returns of the Chamber of Commerce, 21,812 bales, of which 4,481 were for England, 12,387 for France, 5,376 for America, and 95 for other countries. The export of tea during the season from 1st May, 1880, to same date 1881, was 24,410,118 lbs., all for America, with the exception of 191,108 lbs. for England.

TOKIO.

The capital of Japan (until the Restoration called Yodo] is situated at the north of the Bay of Yedo, has a circumference of 24 miles, and e vers a surface of nearly 36 square miles. The Sumida, or Great River, runs through city, dividing Tokio proper from the districts on the east side called Honjo and Fakagawa.

Tokio as viewed from the bay is a charming city, being well situated on un- dulating ground, and possessing abundant foliage. The city is divided into fifteen grand divisions, each of which is again subdivided into smaller sections. The houses, and even the public offices, are all numbered, which method is adopted in every town and village throughout Japan. The Castle of Tokio occupies a commanding position on a hill a little to the westward of the centre of the city. It is enclosed in double walls, and surrounded by a moat. Within the Castle formerly stood the Imperial Palace and several public offices, but the destructive fire of the 3rd of April, 1572, levelled these ancient and magnificent buildings, leaving only the surrounding lofty turrets and walls. Since this great disaster, by which more than 5,000 houses were destroyed, the Mikado has taken up his residence temporarily in one of the Daimios' palaces at Akasaka, while the public of es are now located in new brick or stone buildings in various places near the Castle. The Imperial Garden called Fukiage is situated within the enclosure of the Castle. It is tastefully laid out in the pure native style, and contains fine forest trees, rare and beautiful plants of all kinda, a large pond, cascades, &c., and is most carefully kept. This fiue garden well repays inspection, and admission can readily be obtained by visitors.

Between the Castle and the outer walls, a large area was until recently occupied by the numerous palaces of the Daimios, but nearly all those feudal erections have now given place to smart brick or stone buildings, used as Public Offices, Barracks, Government Schools, &c., so that at the present time bardly any of the Daimios' palaces remain to illustrate what old Yedo was like in the time of the Shogunate, They were, however, large plain long buildings of a single high storey, ordinarily whitewashed, and without any pretensions to architecture.

The remaining portion of the city catside the walls is very densely inhabited, and may be called the commercial district of Tokio. It has a circumference of 24 miles and covers an area of about 20 square miles. The most important part of the business quarter is on the east of the Castle, and is traversed by a main street running from the north to the south-west under different names. A considerable length of this thoroughfare, which is called Guinza, is lined with newly built brick buildings in the European style; the road is wide and well paved, and planted with trees on either side. As it is in close contiguity to the railway station, it is always very animated and thronged with vehicles and foot passengers.

The north end of the main street leads to the new public park or garden named Uyeno, which was formerly occupied by the magnificent Temple founded and main. tained by the Shoguns, and which was destroyed by fire during the revolution in July, 1868. In these grounds the Industrial Exhibition of 1877 was erected, when the gardens were at great expense converted iuto a public pleasure resort by the Government. The second exhibition was held on the same site, in March last, under the superintendence of a prince of the Imperial family. It is proposed to hold one of these exhibitions every four years. It was in the Uyeno Garden that the Mikado and General Grant were entertained by the citizens of Tokio in the summer of 1879 on a scale of magnificence unprecedented in the annals of the city.

Among the places much resorted to by visitors is the ancient temple of Quannon, at Asakusa, not far from Uyeno, one of the most beautiful, most venerated, and most frequented temple in Japan. The temple is elevated about 20 feet from the ground, A grand flight of steps gives access to the interior. There is a chief altar at the extreme end of the temple, with side chapels at its right and left, containing a great number of wooden images, which with the "glory" round their beads, resemble the images of Catholic saints. The interior of the temple is not very large, aud is not so conspicuous for cleanliness as most of the public buildings in Japan. At the right of the temple there is a fine old Pagoda, and near it two colossal stone statues, A new park was also opened close to the temple, about the same time as that of Uyeno, Thus, with Shiba in the South West, where are to be seen some of the splendid shrines of the Shoguns, there are three large public gardens within the city. The buildings which are called the Temple of Confucius were formerly the University of Tokio, but this has been superseded since the Restoration by the Tokio Dai-gaku-kō (Tokio University), and other schools in which Foreigu instructors are employed. There. were altogether 1,275 temples in Tokio in 1830, some of which are ûne edifices.

The districts of Honjo and Fukagawa form the quiet portion of the capital. This quarter is connected with Tokio proper by five great bridges, some of which are constructed of stone and some of wood. They are called, commencing on the north, Adsuma Bashi, Umaya Bashi, Riogoku Bashi, Ohashi, and Yeitai Bashi respectively. The quay on the banks of the Sumida forms a spacious and handsome street, and may be especially recommended to a traveller who has only a fow days to spend in Tokio. In passing along the quay, he will see across the stream several fine temples and great buildings, which stand on the western bank of the Great River, and he may get at the same time a very good idea of the animated river-life of the Sumida, whose waters aro always covered with junks and boats of all descriptions.

    A great part of the remaining area forming the district North of the Castle is covered by paddy fields, in the midst of which rise picturesquely situated bouses, There are also extensive pleasure gardens, such as Aska-yama, and neat little villages. The surface covered by paddy fields and pleasure gardens may be estimated at 43 square miles. The part West of the Castle contains fifty temples, and a number

TOKIO.

of nobles' palaces. The district on the South of the Castle, with an average surface of 17 square miles, contains about sixty temples. The most remarkable among them is the Tera of Meguro. In this part of Tokio is situated the Mausoleum of the Shoguns, surrounded by several teinples.

Several great fires have during the last few years swept Tokio, more especially that of April, 1872, which led to great improvements and the widening of the streets. Rows of fine houses in brick and stone, and new bridges, in many cases of iron or stone, have been built, and the city has in many portions been thoroughly modernised. The main streets and those adjacent to them are lighted with gas. Lines of telegraph, amounting in all to 200 miles, connect the various parts of the city with one another, and with the country lines. A terrific tire occurred on the 26th December, 1879, when upwards of 11,000 houses were destroyed. This was followed on the 4th February, 1880, by another fire, involving the destruc- tion of 2.500 buildings. Several great fires occurred early in 1881. The streets are generally broad and well kept, and improvements attend the work of reconstruction after each conflagration. But as the city is in a transition state, it necessarily presents many strange anomalies. Side by side with lofty stone buildings stand rows of rude wooden houses. As with the buildings so with the people; while the mass still wear the native dress, numbers appear in European costume, and the soldiers are dressed in uniform on the Western model. The environs of Tokio are very picturesque and offer a great variety of pleasant walks or rides. Foreigners cannot do better than spend their leisure hours in rambling over the country. The finest scenery is at the northern and western sides of the city, where the country is surrounded by beautiful bills, from which there is a distant view of the noble mountains of Hakone, while beyond rises in solitary grandeur the towering peak of Fusi-yama, covered with snow throughout the year. The population of Tokio was, according to the census of 1879. 1,101,496. The foreign residents numbered 565 in 1879, 449 of whom were in the public empley; they have since decreased.

The native Press is represented by about forty newspapers, several of which are dailies. Among them the Nichi Nichi Shimbun, the Hochi Shimb, the Choya Shimbun, and the Akébono Shimbun take the lead. Several others are class organs, and two journals, the Yomiuri Shimbun and Kanayomy Shimbun, are the advocates of woman's rights. There are also several comic journals, and one illustrated paper called the Yeiri Shimbun. There are 830 schools of different classes, including one university, having an aggregate attendance of both sexes of from sixty to seventy thousand.

NIIGATA.

    Niigata is situated on the west coast of Japan, and in the southern part of the province of Echigo, at the mouth of the river Shinano-gawa. Though well located for trade it has yielded the most disappointing results of all the Treaty ports of Japan. Foreign goods find their way to Niigata in considerable quantities, but since the opening of the port no direct foreign trade has been developed there. Even the small coast trade carried on for a time in foreign bottoms has ceased, and is now conducted in native steamers and other craft. Trade might, however, be attracted if the port could be rendered practicable for the admission of foreign

steamers.

    The town, which is one of the cleanest and best laid-out in Japan, has becu materially improved within the last few years by the widening of the canals and streets, the latter of which are now lighted with petroleum obtained in the district. New Law Courts, Post-office, and Schools have been built, and the town is connected by telegraph with Tokio and other cities of the Empire. A Government Hospital, attended by a European doctor, and a large English school under English and American masters, have been established here. A steam rice mill has been started and some fresh industries have been commenced. Niigata is still famed for the number and beauty of its women. The town covers an area of rather more than one square mile, and contains 9,816 houses. The population of the town is 36,000. The number of foreign residents in 1878 was 16, of whom 7 were British, and there has been no increase since that date.

    The value of the exports for 1878 was $524,167, compared with $24,000 iu 1877. No returns are given for 1879 or 1880 in the Consular reports. There were no imports in foreign bottoms. As stated above, the whole of the trade is carried ou in native craft.

HAKODATE.

This, the most northerly of the treaty ports of Japan, is situated in the south of Yesso on the Straits of Tsugar, which divide that island from Hondo. The port lies in latitude 41 deg. 47 min. 8 sec. N., and longitude 14) deg. 45 min. 34 sec. E., and the harbour is nearly land-locked. The surrounding country is hilly, volcanic, and striking, but the town itself formerly possessed few attractious, and consisted mainly of one long street of single-storied houses, the distinguishing feature of which was the roof, made of thin wood shingle kept on by quantities of flat stones. The greater part of the town was destroyed by a terrible fire in December, 1879. That disaster was, however, productive of great improvements, leading to the substitution of tiled for wooden roofs, and to the adoption of substantial walls of brick, stone, or other fire-proof materials in the buildings, while the streets have all been widened. The foreign concession has never been built upon, the few foreign residents in the port having taken up their quarters in Japanese buildings. A row of fine temples, with lofty picturesque roofs, occupying higher The climate ground than the rest of the town, are the most conspicuous buildings. of Hakodate is healthy and bracing. The hottest mouth is August, but the ther- mometer then rarely rises above 90 degrees Fahr.: in the winter it sometimes sinks to 18 degrees. The mean temperature throughout the year is about 48 degrees.

The The foreigu trade of the port is small and has never been important. foreign shipping is annually decreasing and the direct. imports have fallen off largely. The imports for 1877 and 1878 were nil, for 1879 they only amounted to $4,459, and for 1880 were nil, compared with $27,308 in 1876. The exports for 1880 amounted to $749,261 compared with $692,515 in 1879, $688,940 in 1878, and $441,65 in 1877. The agricultural resources of Yesso have been to some extent developed under the auspices of the Kaitakushi or Colonization Department. The In the valuable and rich pasture lands are well adapted for breeding cattle. extensive fisheries on the coasts, however, the chief exports of the future from Hakodate are to be looked for. Increasing quantities of dried fis. and seaweed are exported annually, mostly to China, The mineral resources of Yesso, said to be large, may also some day yield a valuable addition to the exports of this port. Hakodate is connected with the capital by telegraph. A railway from Otarunai to Sapporo, 22 miles long, was completed in the autumn of 1880, and was opened to public trade on the 28th November. The population of Hakodate is about 11,000. The number of foreign residents in 1878 was 63, of whom 40 were Chinese, 25 B itish, and the remainder German, Russian, American, French, and Danish.

WLADIWOSTOCK.

This port, on some charts still called Port May, lies in latitude 43 deg. 7 min. N. and longitude 131 deg. 54 min. E., at the southern end of a long peninsula reaching into Peter the Great Bay. Of all the Russian ports on the sea of Japan in the maritime province of East Siberia, it is by far the most important, both as a military and commercial centre. It is a free port except for the importation of alcohol, which is subject to duty. Wladiwostock is one of the most magnificent harbours in the East. From its peculiar long and narrow shape and the once supposed hidden treasures in the slightly anriferous soil of its surrounding hills, it has not inappro- priately been called the Golden Horn. The entrances to the harbour are hidden by the large Russian Island, still better known as Dundas Island, which divides the fairway into two narrow passages, an eastern and a western one. This fine sheet of water first runs for about half a mile in a northern direction and then suddenly bends to the cast for a distance of about one mile. On all sides it is surrounded by bills, low on the southern and higher on the northern shore, and which slope sharply down to the water's edge. These hills, once verdant with foliage, have been com、 pletely denuded of trees by reckless felling. The harbour, capable of accom- modating an almost unlimited number of vessels of deep draught and large capacity, affords a safe anchorage. It is usually closed by ice from about Christmas till the beginning of April, but even then ships may safely approach the entrance by making either for Diomed Bay or some of the numerous sheltered anchorages along the eastern shore of Dundas Island. The transit of cargo is then effected to Vladivostock over the ice.

This port, now the chief Naval station of Russia on the Pacific, is governed by an Admiral appointed from home, but whose jurisdiction does not extend beyond the peninsula. The Governor is independent of the Governor-General of the province or of the Government of Irkutsk, receiving his instructions direct from St. Petersburg. He is aided by a staff of naval and military officers, as well as by a Mayor and Town Council elected by and from among the Russian civil community. The town is built on the southern slope of the bills running along the northern shore of the harbour. The entire area, with the exception of many unoccupied lots intervening here and there, is covered by buildings. Most conspicuous among these are the Government Offices, the Barracks, and the Governor's residence, which is surrounded by a Public Garden, while the houses of the more affluent merchauts are well and substantially built. In the Public Garden the pleasing strains of a town- band may be heard twice a week during summer time. There is a Naval Club, to which civilians are admitted as non-voting members; two or three hotels; a Gym- nasium, or School for boys; an Institute for young ladies; and a General Hospital.

On the whole, the first impression of Wladiwostock, as seen from the harbour, is a pleasing one. It has all the appearance of a rising city, though of course it cannot compare with either Shanghai or Hongkong. Not more than eighteen years ago the Bite of Wladiwostock was little better than a wilderness, where wild beasts disputed the possession of the soil with man. There was then but one merchant and a detachment of about one hundred soldiers in the settlement; the city now contains some 10,000 souls, most of whom are of European extraction.

THE PHILIPPINES.

The Philippines are a rich group of islands, situate between lat. 5 and 22 N., and long. 123 and 133 E., and held by Spain under military occupation. The islands are over five hundred in number and contain an area of 52,647 English square miles, with a population, in 1876, of 6,173,632 souls. They are divided into twenty-seven provinces, thirteen of which are on the Isle of Luzon, four on the Isle of Negros, three on Panay, and three on the Isle of Mindanao.

Early in the sixteenth century the celebrated navigator Magellan unfolded to the King of Spain his brilliant project of reaching the Spice Islands by rounding the southern extremity of the American continent, and, having been furnished with men and ships, he set sail. Having passed through the straits which bear his name, he reached the islands, to which the name of the Philippines was afterwards given, in the spring of 1521, after a troublesome voyage of over eighteen months. The foundation of Spanish authority in the archipelago was then laid, but the illustrious navigator who first took possession in the name of his Royal Master lost his life in an attack upon one of the islands a month later, and the expedition, reduced to one ship, returned. Other expeditions were dispatched, some of which proved fruitless, but in 1565 the islands were formally annexed to the Crown of Spain, and in 1571 the city of Manila, which has been the capital ever since, was founded.

The early history of the Philippines is a record of continual trouble. Conflicts between the civil and ecclesiastical authorities led to internal contentions, while both Portugal and the Netherlands coveted these rich possessions and harassed the Spaniards. Attacks were also made at different points by powerful Chinese piratical fleets. In 1762 the capital was taken by the English, but was restored to Spain two years afterwards for a ransom of £1,000,000. The ransom, however, has never been exacted.

    After the discovery of the islands ecclesiastics flocked to them in large numbers, and, undisturbed by the attacks on Spanish authority, the work of converting the natives was carried on with great vigour. The clergy at the present time number 1,962, and most of the natives brought under subjection profess the Roman Catholic religion. In the Philippines there has been little of that cruelty to the aboriginal population which so often characterises the process of colonization, and the natives are in general contented and well conducted, the priests exercising the almost unbounded influence they possess with great effect in the preservation of order. In the inaccessible mountainous parts of the islands there are still tribes of unsubdued savages, but their number is comparatively small and the authority of the Govern ment is being rapidly extended over them. In the last census retus the number of natives not subject to the civil government and paying no tande is given as 602,853, while the number of natives paying tribute is returned as 5,1,356. There is a considerable number of mestizos or half-castes, some of whom are the children of Spanish fathers by native mothers and some the children of Chinese fathers. The following is the latest (1876) census return :-

THE PHILIPPINES.

     The chief articles of produce are sugar, hemp, and tobacco, the exports of which in 1880 were valued as follows:-Hemp, $5,481,087; sugar, $11,408,966; tobacco, $2,476,577. The value of piece goods imported was as follows:-Cotton, $7,843,104 woollen, $280,121; silk, $445,227; and other fabrics, $456,786. The total value of the imports was $25,493,319, and that of the exports $23,450,285, against imports $18,031,547 and exports $18,813,452 in 1879. The total amount of customs dues collected in 1850 was $2,019,833. There entered the different ports with cargoes 371 vessels of 301,288 tons (Spanish), and 171 vessels of 148,649 t ns in ballast; and left with cargoes 488 vessels of 421,092 tons, and 37 vessels of 38,320 tons ir ballast. The returns of the carrying trade show the curious fact of the carrying of mports being nearly monopolised by the flag of one nation, while that of the exports is tolerably equally distributed. This is accounted for by the nature of the arrange- ments made by the Government with certain subsidised steamship lines. The vessels which carry the xports arrive for the most part in ballast from Hongkong or other ports in the East where they have discharged a cargo. The following is a summary of the value of the trade, taken from the Customs Returns for 1880 :-

A Royal decree, dated the 26th June, 1881, abolished the Government monopoly in the growing of the tobacco laf and manufacture of cigars, and rom the 1st July, 1882, the cultivation of the tobacco pant and manufacture of cigars will be free throughout the Pili; pines. To cover the anticipated deficit in the revenae from this cause an export duty not exceeding 10 p r cenî, ¡er quintal of leaf tobacco and cigars will be imposed. Companies are being formed to engage extensively in the tobacco and cigar production and manufacture.

     The climate of the Philippines varies little from that of other places in the same latitude. The range of the thermometer during the year is from a little over sixty degrees to about ninety. The rainy season usually lasts six mouths, and during this time inundations of rivers are frequent and travelling in the interior almost impossible. Long continued droughts, however, sometimes occur, when the ground becomes parched and the crops are utterly destroyed. Hundry also suffers from the ravages of locusts, which will sometimes alm ntirely nude a whole province of herbage. The principal part of the group comes within the ange of the typhoons, and terrific storms are of frequent occurrenc The islands are also the centre of

great volcanic action. "The destructive ravages and changes produced by earth- quakes," says Sir John Bowring, writing in 1859, are nowhere more remark- able than in the Philippines. They have overturned mountains, they have filled up valleys, they have desolated extensive plains; they have opened passages from the sea into the interior, and from the lake into the sea. There are many tradi- tional stories of these territorial revolutions, but of late disasters the records are trustworthy. That of 1796 was sadly calamitous. In 1824 many churches in Manila were destroyed, together with the principal bridge, the barracks, great numbers of private houses; and a chasm opened of nearly four miles in length. The inhabitants all fled into the fields, and six vessels in the port were wrecked. The number of victims was never ascertained. In 1828, during another earthquake, the vibration of the lamps was found to describe an arch of four and a half feet; the huge corner stones of the principal gate of the city were displaced; the great bells were set ringing. It lasted between two and three minutes, rent the walls of several churches and other buildings, but was not accompanied by subterranean noises, as is usually the case." In 1863 also a very disastrous earthquake occurred, and another fraught with disaster made 1879 memorable in the annals of Manila.

Persons visiting the Philippines are required to obtain a passport from their own Government, and have it viséd at the Spanish Consulate at the port of embarkation

MANILA.

Manila, the capital of the Philippines, is situated in the island of Luzon, at the mouth of the river Pasig, which empties itself into the Bay of Manila. The city was founded in 1571. In 1645 it was almost entirely destroyed by an earthquake, in which upwards of three hundred lives were lost. In 1863 a great part of the city was again destroyed from the same cause, and in July, 1879 another terrible upheaval again made wreck of a great portion of it: the inhabitants are naturally in constant fear of these visitations. The dwelling-houses are built with especial reference to safety under such circumstances, and, although large, possess few pretensions to architectural beauty. The streets, also, are narrow and bit small attention has been devoted to securing shade by the growth of trees. There are several ancient churches which are worthy of notice. The cathedral, founded originally in 1578, has been several times destroyed by earthquakes and did not escape in 1863. It has been since rebuilt, but again sustained considerable damage in 1880, when the tower was so much shattered that it had to be pulled down. The city and its suburbs contain a population of nearly 300,000 and are the seat of a considerable and yearly increasing commerce. The principal articles of export are hemp, sugar, tobacco, cigars, coffee, and indigo, while of the imports cotton goods form the chief item. Only a small portion of the present city is enclosed within the walls. The anchorage is distant some three miles from the shores. The river presents a scene of great animation, being crowded with native craft interspersed with vessels of foreign build. The passport system is in force and no one can enter or leave without previously obtain- ing a pass. Before landing passengers are obliged to pull alongside a Custom-house guard boat stationed near the landing place to prevent smuggling. The garrison of Manila consists of one European and several native regiments. The police of the city is also under military discipline and is composed of natives. A very low average of crime is said to exist, but the native classes are much addicted to gambling, an offence punishable by law, although the Government reaps a large portion of its revenue from the sale of lottery tickets. A race meeting is held in the spring and usually good sport is afforded. The chief standing amusement is the opera, very good companies being induced to visit the islands by the liberal patronage they receive. The orchestra is usually composed of natives, who possess a remarkably good ear for music. The principal theatre was burnt down on the 13th October,

  1878, and has not yet been rebuilt. There are three daily papers, El Diario de Manila and La Oceania Española, published in the morning, and El Comercio, which appears in the evening. The hot season commences in March and continues until July, when the rains commence and continue to December, during which time the roads and streets get into a very bad condition. The maximum annual rainfall recorded is 114 inches and the minimum 84 inches. The maximum of the ther- mometer is about 92, with a range of teu degrees during the twenty-four hours, a cool sea breeze setting in at night and reducing the heat to an endurable tem- perature for sleeping. According to the census of 1873 there were residing in Manila 250 foreigners of Europe: n origin, 4,189 European Spaniards, 15,157 Chinese, 46,066 Chinese mestizos (or half-breeds), 3,849 Spanish mestizos, and 160,896 pure natives. In 1880 there entered the port of Manila with cargoes 300 vessels of 253,984 tons, and in ballast 96 vessels of 92,163 tons; and cleared with cargoes 356 vessels of 308,777 tons, and in ballast 29 vessels of 34,217 tons. The value of the imports was $24,0 16,767, and that of the exports $17,457,725.

ILOILO.

This port, which is the chief town of the populous province of the same name in the island of Panay, is situated in lat. 10 deg. 48 min. W., near the south-eastern extremity of the island, close to the sea, on the border of the narrow channel formed by the opposite island of Guimaras. The town is built principally on low marshy ground, partly fronting the sea, and partly along the left bank of a creek, or inlet, which runs towards Jaro, and after describing a semicircle again meets the sea near Iloilo. Although the principal seaport and seat of the government of the province, Iloilo is much smaller than many towns in its vicinity. The harbour is well protect- ed and the anchorage good, the island of Guimaras forining a sheltered passage. The depth of water on the bar at the entrance to the creek or river Iloilo is about five fathoms at low water, but at a short distance within it decreases to fifteen feet and then deepens again. At spring tides the whole town is covered with water, but notwithstanding this it is a very healthy place. The high ground of Guimaras forins a kind of funnel with the Panay shore, and the result is that a calm is of rare occurrence, there being almost always a breeze of some kind. The N E. breeze blows very strongly. It is much cooler in Iloilo than in Manila. Although ships are charged light dues, &c., there is not a single light or buoy near the port. A light- house was built at the entrance to the river some six years ago, but, as the cost of the oil has not yet been provided for in the estimates, it has never been lighted.

   The better class of houses in Iloilo are built on strong wooden posts, two or three feet in diameter, that reach to the roof, stone walls to the first floor, with wooden windows above and iron roof. The poorer class of dwellings are flimsy struc- tures of nipa, built on four stout posts. The roads and bridges are in a deplorable condition, and quite impassable in the rainy season.

The principal manufacture in Iloilo for local consumption and export to Manila is that of piña, a cloth very finely made from the fibre of the pineapple leaf. Another cloth called jusi is woven from silk, and is made in white and colours. The Govern- ment have recently very heavily taxed all kinds of industry, which tax is severely felt, as hitherto there had been comparative freedom from such imposts. Each native above the age of 14 pays tribute the men $4.03, and the won ea $1.03 per aunum.

   The country round Iloilo is very fertile and is extensively cultivated. Toe annual crop of sugar is estimated at about a million piculs. Tobacco is also largely culti- vated, but having hitherto been a Government monopely which must be sold at a fxed price, it has been greatly neglected and is of poor quality. Improvement in the cultivation may now be expected as the monopoly is to be abolished this

year. Rico is grown on a considerable scale, but locusts are very plentiful in the island and often do great damage to the cane and paddy.

Typhoons visit the port about once a year aud frequently work great havoc. Earthquakes, however, seldom occur. Iloilo is about 254 mile - stant from Manila.

ILOILO.

467

     Iloilo has greatly increased in importance of late years. The chief articles of export are sugar, tobacco, sapanwood, and hides. The principal traders are Chinese mestizos, who are very numerous in the port. There is a tradition that the town of Iloilo was once peopled by Chinese, and many of the inhabitants bear Chinese names. In 1880 there entered with cargoes 15 vessels of 6,999 tons, and in ballast 38 vessels of 37,415 tons, and there cleared with cargoes 55 vessels of 48,009 tons, and in ballast 7 vessels of 4,103 tous. The value of the imports was $549,419, and that of the exports $,468,679, sugar accounting for $4,051,411 of the total.

      The island of Negros is extremely fertile and contributes three-fourths of the sugar shipped from Iloilo, the quality of which is improving very much every year.

CEBU.

This is an important port and city of the Philippines. It is the capital of the island of Cebu, and ranks next to Iloilo among the ports of the Philippines. It was at one time the seat of the administration of revenue for the whole of the Bisayas, but this was removed to Manila in 1849. Cebu is a well built town and possesses fine roads, but the people are devoid of commercial enterprise. The trade of Cebu consists principally in hemp and sugar. On account of the low price ruling for hemp during the last few years Cebu made no progress, but matters have improved during the last twelve months, the exports showing an increase of more than one-third. The neighbouring islands of Leyte, Mindanao, and Camiguin possess extensive hemp plantations, a large proportion of the produce of which finds its way to Cebu for shipment. The following figures show the trade of Cebu:-In 1880 there entered the port with cargoes 10 vessels of 11,729 tons, and in ballast 24 vessels of 18,761 tons, and there cleared with cargoes 23 vessels of 23,992 tons. The value of the imports was $22,889, and that of the exports, $1,923,881. There are some very valuable and extensive coal deposits in the island of Cebu, but the mines have not as yet been worked with any enterprise.

COCHIN-CHINA.

SAIGON.

   Saigon, the capital of French Cochin China, is situated on the Saigon river, a branch of the Donnai, in latitude 10 deg. 50 min. N., and longitude 104 deg. 22 min. E. Saigon was conquered by the Franco-Spanish fleet on the 17th February, 1859, but Lower Cochin China, (comprising the provinces of Giadinh, Bienhoa, and Mytho, and the Islands of Pulo Condor), was not definitely occupied until 1862, when it was formally surrendered by treaty; in 1867, three more provinces were conquered by the French and added to their possessions, viz., Chandoc, Hatien, and Vinblong. The actual boundaries of French Cochin China now are: on the North the kingdoms of Annam and Cambodia, on the East and South, the China Sea, on the West the Gulf of Biam and the kingdom of Cambodia.

French Cochin China is divided into six large provinces comprising in all nineteen Inspections. Besides Saigon, which is the capital of Cochin China and at the same time of the province of Giadinh, the other chief towns bear the names of their respective provinces, Bienhoa, Mytho, Chandoc, Vinblong, and Hatien. The colony measures in breadth about 80 leagues and in length an average of 50 leagues; its population amounts to 1,500,000 inhabitants. The European population, exclusive of the official element, is very small. The country resembles a vast plain with small hills on the West and some mountains on the East and North; the three highest are Batlen 884 metres, Baria 493 metres, and the Moi mountains 550 and 600 metres in height. The principal rivers are the two Vaico, the Saigon River, and the Bienhoa or Donnai river. The lower parts of French Cochin China are wrinkled with small creeks or arroyos, giving easy and rapid communication to all parts of the country. Of late numerous canals have been opened. The magnit ent river Mei- kong, which descends from the Thibetan mountains, after running through different territories crosses Cambodia, euters the lower provinces of French Cochin China by two branches, and empties itself into the China Sea by five large outlets called respectively Cua Tieu, Của Balai, Cua Cochien, Cua Dinh-an, and Cua Batac.

   The principal product of French Cochin China is rice. It it planted in almost every province except some of the Northern districts. At the present time the country can produce from 7,000,000 to 9,000,000 piculs yearly, and a little over 5,000,000 piculs is annually exported. After this important grain the principal products

are:-sugai cane, mulberry tree, pepper, betel-nut, cotton, tobacco, and maize; china grass, sesamun, palma-christi, indigo, saffron, gum-lac, sapan (dye-wood), and cinchona also exist in pretty large quantities, with several other minor productions. The principal salt pits are in the province of Baria. The forests contain large quantities of fine timber and abound with game of nearly every description, amongst which may be named elephants, rhinoceros, tigers, deer, wild boars, and elands, while amongst the feathered game the peacock, partridge, snipe, woodcock, jungle fowl or wild- cock, pheasant, &c., may be mentioned. The rivers and creeks swarm with fish of every description, and alligators abound in some.

In the chief towns of each province there is a citadel sufficiently garrisoned, and numerous military posts in the interior maintain and watch over the security of the inhabitants. The Annamese are a race devoted principally to agriculture; they aro not so industrious as the Chinese and are indifferent traders. The Chinese hold the largest proportion of the trade in their hands. The budget of the colony for 1881 was put at 20,000,000 franes, and the reserve fund in the treasury is 6,500,000 francs. The two principal sources of revenue are opium and spirits.

Saigon is situated about 40 miles from Cape St. James and is accessible to the largest vessels. Since its occupation by the French the client has undergone a very favourable change, owing to different sanitary works in the town, such as drains, the filling up of pools, marshes, &c. The town presents a fine appearance, the roads and thoroughfares being broad and regular. Amongst the public buildings Government House is the most remarkable; several millions of franes have beên spent upon its construction and decoration. The other prominent public buildings are the new Direction de l'Interieur," the Treasury, the Post Office, the Land Office, Public Works Department, the Schools, and the Supreme Court. The Military Hospital is a fine and handsome iron building, as are also the Arsenal, Barracks, and Artillery pare. A stately new gothic Cathedral, of large proportions, was opened on the 11th April, 1881. Saigon has two public gardens, the "Jardin de la Ville," which is maintained at the expense of the municipality, and the Botanical Garden. There is one large rice-mill in Saigon belonging to a European firm and two more in the town of Cholen, one of which belongs to a Chinese company. There are also two steam brick-yards, one in each town. Cholen is the granary of the colony and its commercial activity is enormous. Sugar-cane planting has been commenced in several provinces and steam sugar mills are in course of erection, but the success of this undertaking is as yet problematical, There is an iron floating dock and a new one was completed at the Arsenal in August, 1881, but sunk on the 1st September while being lowered to take in the transport Mytho. The population of Saigon may be estimated at about 40,000 inhabitants, chiefly Annamese and Chinese. The town of Cholen, principally inhabited by Chinese traders, is three miles distant from Saigon, and its population may be set down at 70,000. It has recently Leen. connected with Saigon by a tramway.

     The M. M. steamers call twice a month at Saigon on their homeward and outward trips, and another line of steamers from Marseilles will be run this year to Saigon and the Far East. Easy communication is afforded with the principal towns of the interior by subsidized mail steamers. All the principal towns of French Cochin China possess telegraphic communication, and a sub-marine cable unites the colony with Singapore, Hongkong, &c. The postal organization of the colony is very complete and efficient. Correspondence can be sent daily to almost all parts of the country. The Journal Officiel, which is also the Government Gazette, is published twice a week, and there is a weekly paper called L'Ere Nouvelle. There is also an Annamese paper called Gia-Sinh-Bao, published weekly,

In 1880 the arrivals of foreign vessels numbered 273, aggregating 207,793 tons register, shewing a decrease in the number of vessels of 150 and in the tonnage of 172,771. The total export of rice amounted to 4,774,479 piculs, being a falling off of 1,285,909 piculs from the export in 1879. The export from 1st January to 24th December, 1881, was 4,450,908 piculs.

CAMBODIA.

      Cambodia, or the Ki gdom of the Khmer, as it called by the natives, extends. from 101 deg. 30 min. to 104 deg. 30 min. longitude, and from 10 deg. 30 min. to 14 deg. latitude. It was reduced to its present proportions in 1860 by the annexation of its two richest provinces, Angcor and Battambang, to Siam Its area is about 62,000 square miles. It is bounded on the south-west by the Gulf of Siam, on the south-east by French Cochin China, on the north by the Laos, and on the north- west and west by Battambang and Angcor. The noble river Meikong flows through the kingdom, and after passing through French Cochin China, empties itself, by a number of mouths, into the sea. The Meikong is the grand waterway of Cambodia, and, like the Nile in Egypt, lays the greater part of the country under water annually, greatly increasing its fertility. There are some other navigable rivers in the country, but none that compare with this "Great Father of Waters." The soil of Cambodia is rich and productive, and rice, pepper, indigo, cotton, tobacco, sugar, maize, aud cardamons are cultivated. Coffee and spices of all sorts could be grown, Among woods, ebony, rose, sapan, pine, iron, and other valuable sorts exist, no less than eighty different kinds of timber being found in the forests. Iron of good quality has been dis- covered and it is affirmed that there are gold, silver, and lead mines in the mountains.

      Animal life is abundant. Among others, the elephant, rhinoceros, tiger, buffalo, deer of many species, wild boar, and the monkey may be mentioned. Reptiles of every kind are to be found, from the alligator to the lizard. Winged game of all sorts, including snipe, woodcock, pheasants, peafowl, teal, partridges, and wild ducks swarm. Hares and rabbits are to be found everywhere. The fisheries of Cambodia are very productive, and salt fish forms one chief article of export.

      Cambodia was once an extensive and powerful state, and proofs that it possessed a much higher civilisation_than_ now prevails are to be found in the architectural remnants of former grandeur. The noble ruins of the ancient city of Angcor are monų- ments of a people much superior to the feeble race which now inhabits Cambodia. The Cambodians differ entirely from their neighbours the Annamese, both in features and customs. Polygamy is practised among them. The prevailing religion is Bud- dhism. The people are apathetic and indolent, and allow the trade to fall into the hands of Chinese, of whom there are about 100,000 in the country. The entire population of the kingdom is a little over 1,000,000.

      The Government of Cambodia is an absolute monarchy, under French protection. The present King, Somdach Pra Maha Norodom, is forty-five years of age and suc- ceeded his father King Ang Duong, who died in 1860. As in Siam, there is a Second King, Maha Oberak, brother to the King, but his title is pulv nominal and his power equally so. King Norodom I. is intelligent and amiable, but wanting in resolution. He has adopted European habits and mode of living, and is always ready to lend his countenance to improvements and enterprises calculated to promote the prosperity of the country.

Phnom-penh, the present capital of Cambodia and seat of the Government, is situated on the river Meikong, nearly in the heart of the kingdom. The King's palace is a large building, and the portion devoted to his use built and furnished in European style. It contains some fine apartments. Attached to the Palace, and inside the Palace walls, are the Hall of Justice, Audience Rooms, Treasury, Armoury, and some steam workshops and magazines. The King possesses three small steamers, and several steam launches. His workshops are superintended by European engineers and a European has charge of the public works. Phnom-penh is improving under the present rule. Good roads are being made, brick houses are gradually super-

seding less durable structures. There is a strong iron bridge, and a telegraph office. Barracks are in course of construction. The French F presentative resides in the city and occupies a handsome building. The European 1. ms have erected substantial and commodious pren ises. The population of the Phnompenh is estimated at 35,000. Trade at present is limited, and the country generally is entirely undeveloped. It is practically shut out from foreign commerce, and has no seaports properly speaking. The port of Kompot can only be frequented by small coasting native vessels from Siam and by Chinese junks. A railway from Saigon to Phnom-penh is projected. It is probable that Cambodia will eventually become a province of French Cochin-China.

HAIPHONG.

This is the shipping port for Hanoi, Hai Duong, and Nɩmdinh, the commer- cial centres of Tonquin. It is situated in lat. 20 deg. 51 min. N., and long. 106 d∙g. 42 min. E., on the river Cua Cam, a brauch of that great river connecting Yunnan with the Tonquin Guif, called the Song-koi, about sixteen and a-half miles from the light- house. The light-house at the entrance of the river, on the island of Hon-Dar, is visible at a distance of about six miles. The entrance to the port is obstructe by two bars; the outer one sand, the inuer one mud. Haiphong is accessible, however, by vessels drawing from 19 to 20 feet. There is plenty of water in the river. Vess 18 anchor about a quarter of a mile from the shore in from 40 to 60 feet of water abreast of a creek communicating with the Song-koi. The banks of the river are low and consist of alluvial mud, from which the French Settlement and the town have with great labour and expense been reclaimed.

The streets are narrow,

Haiphong proper is situated on both sides of the creek. repulsive, and dirty, and show no improvement under the French supervision. The native buildings are wretchedly constructed of mud, bamboo, and matting. The only decent buildings are those occupied by foreigners and Chinese. There are one hundred French troops stationed here, beside two river gunboats, and there is generally a man-of-warin port. The bulk of the foreign residents are French. There is a French representative stationed_here. The Custom House is under Freuch supervision, similar to that in the Treaty ports of China. The population of Hai- phong is difficult to estimate, but certainly does not exceed 6,000. There are about 1,000 foreigners and Chinese.

Haiphong is distant from Hanoi, the former capital of Tonquin, about sixty miles as the crow flies, but by the main river (the Song-koi) the route is about 150- miles, and by the Cua Cam about 90 miles. There are six river steamers plying regularly between Hanoi and Haiphong.

The port of Haiphong was opened in 1875, and for the first three years trado largely increased, by latterly has been less progressive. The nominal value of the imports in 1880 was 5,467,315 fr. and of the exports 7,507,528 fr. making a total of 12,974,838 fr., but this amount is far from rep esenting the real volume of business. The duty of five per cent, ad valorem is calculated on a scale of prices_considerably below the real one, and 25 per cent, may added on this amount. If to the sum thus obtained 2,000,000 fr. be added for specie mported, and 1,500,000 fr. for opium, which is not taken cognisance of by the Mixed Customs, 20,000,000 fr. may be taken as representing the real movement of the port for 1880. This result is a sensible improvement on that of 1879, but this is solely owing to the export of grain, which was strictly prohibited in 1879 on account of scarcity. Of the imports Eu ;- lish cotton goods and yarn account for 34 per cent, of the total value.

                                               Of the ex- ports, rice accounts for 39 per cent., and raw silk and silk piece goods for 21 per cent. The value of the German trade, import and export, was about 4,000,000 fr.

     During the year 1880 there entered and cleared 253 European vessels withʼn totaḥ tonnage of 114,197 tons, and 205 Chinese junks of 9,616 tons, the grand total being 123,813 tons, an inc ease of 4,500 tons on the preceding year. Nearly all the European vessels wer· stramers, with an average tonnage of 450. The trade was divided between the different flags as follows:-British, 35 per cent. of the total ; American, 20 per cent; Chinese (vessels of foreign build, excluding junks), 23 per cent.; German, il per cent.; Dutch, 53 per cent.; French, 5 per cent. The carry- ing trade is almost entirely with Hongkong.

The following vessels entered in 1881 bere up to date of the 1st December- last:-Steamers-British, 46; German, 25; American, 23; Chinese, 20: French, 13, Sailing vessels, nil.

ΠΑΝΟΙ.

I noi, capital of Tonquin, once an independent kingdom, but since 1802 a province of Aun, is situated on the Song-koi, or Red River, 110 miles from its mouth. The en is built close on the river, here about a mile in width, and, being embowered a trees, presents a pleasing appearance on being approached by wator. The citadel occupies the highest site, and is surrounded by a brick wall twelve feet high and a moat. Five gutes give access to it, and in front of each is a redan strongly defended and mannel by troops. The Government buildings and barracks are all inside the citadel. The city is situated between the citadel and the river, and extends beyond the former in a westerly direction. The principal streets occupied by Chinese are wide and the houses well built of brick, but in the other quarters of the city the shops and houses are mat erections. The streets, with the exception of the Chinese quarter, are unpaved, and in wet weather are simply impassable on account of the mul. There is plenty of life and business in Hanoi, and the shops and markets are well supplied with native goods and produce. The Chinese number more than 3,000. The French Settlement is separate from the city pry, and is formed on reclaimed land. Tae buildings in the French Concession are of a very neat appearance and well constructed. There are 200 French ́soldiers ato in the city. Hanoi would be an important centre of commerce under an enlightened Government. Tae population of the city may be estimated at from 60,6 10 to 80,000, but anything like accuracy in numbers is difficult to arrive at.

Tuə Song-koi is navigable for ships of very light draught as far as Ming-hao, a considerable trading city in Yunnan, some 300 miles above Hanoi, but the disturbed condition of the frontier has hitherto prevented any systematic attempt to open communication by this route with Western China. The French Government have given no encouragement to merchants to try and establish trade in this direction .thus far, but it is believed that the prospects would be very favourable and measures are about to be taken to open up the route, by force if necessary. The Tonquinese are indolent and apathetic, averse to any exertion, and totally devoid of enterprise owing to the oppression they have so long suffered under mandarin rule.

HUE.

   Hué, the capital of the kingdom of Aunam, is situated on a small scarcely navigable river called by the French the Huć river, which debouches on the coast in about lat. 16 deg. 29 min. N., and long. 107 deg. 38 min. E. Hué is a walled city and possesses an arsenal. It has no imposing buildings such as distinguish most Orientals capitals, and the streets are mean and dirty. There are no European residents in this place, except the Roman Catholic missionaries and tle French Minister and attachés.

TURON.

   Turon, situated about 40 miles south-east of Hué, is the sea port for the capital Turon has a fine harbour capable of giving shelter to any amount of shipping. The trade of the port is entirely in the hands of the Chinese. As no French Custom House exists, statistics are difficult to gather. The exports cousist mostly of sugar, silk, betelnuts, and oil; the imports of rice, piece goods, &c. The trade is chiefly with Hongkong. Rice is imported from Haiphong, Hai Duong, and Namdinh. Turon is not, strictly speaking, an open port, but practically it is and has been so regarded for some time. Coal mines have been opened here, but the quality proved rather disap- pointing, though it is believed that deeper workings would yield better mineral.

QUINHON.

     Quinhon was opened to foreign trade upon the conclusion of the treaty between France and Annam, signed in March, 1874. It is situated on the coast of Annam in about lat. 13 deg. 54 min. N., loug. 109 deg. 02 min. E. The entrance to the port is obstructed by a bar, whic! may be crossed, however, by any vessel with a draught not exceeding 16 to 10 feet. The chief article of export is salt. The population and country being very poor, the commercial prospects of the port are not very brilliant. What little trade exists is chiefly with Hongkong and is at present all in the hands of the Chinese. There are no European merchants established in Quinhon. A French Consul and a body of troops are stationed there. The imports for the first three-quarters of the year 1880 amounted to Tls. 82,093; the exports to Tls. 52,592.

    The kingdom of Siam, of which Bangkok i the capital, extends from the latitude of about 23 deg. north to the Gulf called a itself. It is bounded on the west by Burmah and the Bay of Bengal, and on the east by the Lai Mountains. The kingdom pro per iies in the vales of the Menam, the country of the true Siamese. The boundaries of Sam on the Bay of Bengal reach from he possessions of Great Britain in Burman in a southerly line to the boundary betwe ǹ Perak and Quedah - in the Malayan P. ninsula in the latitue of 5 deg. soutn. The Island of Junck Salong, containing enormous depouts of tin ore, is included in the territories of Siam. The boundary li ns neary east from Perak across the Peninsula in about the same latitude between the provi: c 8 of Trigano and Pa' ang to the China Sea, thence north to the read of he Guff Siam. The kingdom also comprises the greater part of the ancient domain of Lao and the rich and valuable possession of Battambang, once a part oʻhe k ugdom of Cambodia. The various dependencies and outskirts are peopled by a variety of races, so ne sui generis, o hers illustrating every form and shade of the transition between the original race and th Annamese on the east, and the Malay and Burmese on the south and east. The former capital of Siam was Ayuthia, si uated on the Menam river (literally the "Mother of Wa'ers"), about 90 miles from its mouth. In 1767 a series bloody and desperate cou bats between the Siames an the Bu mese culminated in the capture and destruction of that city by the victorius Burman Gen ral and the consequent exodus of tue conqu red. They moved down the river about 6 miles and there founded the present pulous and flourishing city of Bangkok. The Chief of te Siamese Army rallied the scattered troops an, building a walled city at l'outaboree, declared himself King under the tit of P'ya Tak. In 172 te reins of empire were seized by one of his mest distinguished generals named Yar: Fa, who founded the present dynasty, of which His Majesty the pr sent in [the 40th reigning monarch in Sam f whom we havo any record] is the fifth in regular descent. The revenue of Siam is very large, ani if prop rl collected would be enormous, but the inertness of the nolity and tue frauds practised with the utmost boldness and impunity, have very seriously impaired it. Of the Custom revenue probably not one-eighth of the legiti.nate amount is ever coll cted The general revenue is farmed out to Ch.nes, and a trieunal tax is also imposed upon all for igners unrepresented by a Consul, such as Chinese, Annamese, &. The Cons of Justice are hot eds of corruption, ai the whole system of jurisprudence is rot en to the core. In the hands of a civilized nation, Siam would ultimately develp into one of the richest and most flourishing countries in the East.

    The native population of Siam, with Laos, Tavoyans, Peguans, and Burmese, excluding those under Consular protection, is variously estimated a from six to ten millions. No census was ver b

                  n taken until last year. This is in course of op."~- tion, and will probab y soon bẻ cò np' red. The number of Chinese in the kingda is believed to be not less than on · in...tion :hree hundred thousand.

     The city of Bangkok is situated on both sides of the Menam, about thirty miles from where tais maguldcent stram empties i self into the Gulf. On the east bank of the river ar: ti lices of the two Kiags, the foreign hongs, the Cons lat 8, the principal rice mills, and most of the Public Offices. The lot is principally ocenied by ta - Cinese a id. Mahomedan residents, though the Foreign Office and the Yamens of the Prime Minister and his father, the ex-Regent, are situated on canals adig from it. Ta bulk of the business is, however, transacted on the east. Here a very fair road, the Chaw n Krung, extends from the palace wall to Paklat, at the mouth of the riv r, and a telègrapa line connects the mouth of the river with the business portion of the city. This line is now in progress of extension by cable to the outer bar beyond the Light House. The principal trade of Bangkok, and the foundation on which not only its prosperity but its actual existence mainly rests, is rice. Tuis article is drawn in immense quantities, not only from the

innumerable fields which line the fertile valley of the Menam, but from the adjacent rivers which flow into the Gulf from the enormous watershed of the mountain crescent which fringes the northern extremity of the kingdom. The ontturn of this grain in favourable years is scarcely to be calculated. It not only furnishes support to the native population of Siam and the Peninsula, but supplies China, Manila, the Straits, and even Java and Sumatra. There is also a large and flourishing trade in teak wood and ivory, with very many other minor articles of native produce which are exported to China and the Straits. There is a regular line of steamers, five in number, to Hongkong, under the English flag, besides special boats only r tuning during the rice season; while nine connect the kingdom with the Straits Setilents, one of which is Siamese, one German, the others British. These steamers ru · stated intervals all the year round, and are only removed from the line for reva a or in case of any sudden emergency. The sailing craft of every flag, rig, and de- nomination were innumerable, but are now much reduced. Of public institutions for foreign use, Bangkok can only boast an Episcopal Chapel and a Protest- ant Cemetery. There is also a Ladies' Library, in a flourishing condition. An American Bowling Alley and two Hotels are now the only buildings devoted to amusement and refreshment. The native palaces, temples, and public buildings are magnificent and on a large scale. The architecture is of a kind peculiar to the country, and there is more of novelty and interest to be witnessed by passing travel- lers in Bangkok in a few hours than can be found in China in many weeks. There are three newspapers published in the city, two in the English language and one in the native tongue. The first is a daily sheet containing merely the arrivals and de- partures of vessels and advertisements, the second is a weekly, and both are con- ducted by a missionary. The native journal is also a weekly, published by authority of the Government and fulfilling the function of a Gazette.

The imports during the year 1880, as reported by the Custom House, amoun- ted to $6,341,519 as compared with $6,489,817 in 1879; the exports to $9,704,318 as compared with $10,807,445 in 1879; but the actual amount of both was probably

much in excess of this value.

STRAITS SETTLEMENTS.

SINGAPORE.

The town of Siugapore, situated on the southern shore of an island of the same name in lat. 1 deg. 16 min. N. and long. 103 deg. 35 min. E., is the seat of govern- ment of the colony known as the Straits Settlements, consisting of Singapore, Malacca, Penang, Province Wellesley, the Dindings, and a small strip of land opposite Pulo Dinding.

    The Island of Singapore is about 27 miles long by 14 wide, and is separated by a narrow strait about one to two miles wide from the territory of Johore, which occupies the southern extremity of the Malay Peninsula. Originally taken possession of in 1819 by Sir Stamford Raffles, it was, until 1823, subcrdinate to our then settle- ment in Sumatra. In that year it became an appanage of the Indian Government, in which condition it remained until 1867, when it was placed under the Colonial Office in conjunction with the other Settlements above mentioned.

The town proper extends for about four miles along the south-eastern shore of the Island, spreading inland for a distance varying from half to three-quarters of a mile, though the majority of the residences of the upper class Europeans lie, as a rule, much further back, within a circle with a radius of three-and-a half miles from the Cathedral. This portion of the settlement is almost entirely level, the highest hill in the island, indeed, about six miles from the south coast only rising to a height of 500 feet. The countr; roads are well kept, and, thanks to the luxuriance of tropical vegetation, abouna in sbade. The town streets, on the other hand, though wide and well metalled, are, as regards architectural matters, drains, and gutters, no great credit to the Municipality which bas then. in charge. Filth and obstructions of all sorts dis- tinguish the nat ve portion of the town, while as compared with nearly every other Eastern city in European hands, the buildings of the business quarters are singularly shabby and mediocre. The Government Offices and City Hall, however, are fine uildings, while the settlement possesses a new and handsome Club, which compares favourably with any in the East.

    The population of S ngapore by the census taken in April, 1881 is 139,208, of whom 86,766 were Chinese and 22,114 Malays. The Klings, with a very few Parsees, Arabs, &c., forming perhaps a sixtieth part of the whole population--are 8s rule peaceful an I unambitious, and give but little trouble. The European com- munity consists in the main of English and Germans, and numbers, with 783 military, a total of 2,768. A large half-caste or Eurasian population, numbering 2,094, occupies the place elsewhere taken by the Asio-Portuguese.

    The principal business quarter of Singapore is the Raffles Square with its adja- cent quays and streets. The foreign stores are few in number, but are fairly well supplied with necessaries, few of the luxuries, however, which are so prominent in Hongkong or Shanghai establishments finding place. A general want of enterprise, owing probably to the climate, is indeed a distinctive feature of Singapore life.

    Singapore possesses a handsome though small Protestant Cathedral (its name having been recently added to the title of the see of Labuan), a neat Presbyterian Ch pel, and several Catholic churches of roomy proportious. The principal schools are those of the Raffles Institute and the Christian Brothers, a Convent also provid ing for theducation of girls of the Roman Catholic persuasion. There is a country Club with a well built bungalow situated some three miles out of town, at which

MALACCA.

    The settlement of Malacca excites more interest from a historical point of view than either of its sister towns, but has so completely fallen to the rear since the establishment of Penang and Singapore as to merit but brief notice in this compila- tion. Seldom v si'ed by foreigners except for relaxation, its white population, including the troops stationed there, seldom reaches fifty individuals, the actual residents numbering only six or seven. Originally settled by the Portuguese in 1511, it retained its importance as the one foreign entrepot in the East until the founding of Penang, when its fortunes rapidly declined. At the present moment it is the least European of all our Settlements in the East, though the facts that it has given its name to the Peninsula and that it was the cradle of Anglo-Chinese study attest its former importance. Its area is embraced by boundaries some 42 miles in length, with a breadth of from 8 to 25 miles. It is governed by a Resident Councillor in subordina- tion to Singapore.

Its one point of interest is its location as a natural history centre, the majority of its casual visitors being attracted thither for sport or science. Beyond this it possesses no points of interest except to those who like to visit scenes famous in the annals of discovery for the bloody fights they have witnessed between the natives and the European nations who contended for their possession. Its population in 1881 amounted to 93,579 individuals, of whom 52,059 were males and 41,250 females, an increase since 1871 of 15,823.

PENANG.

Penang, or Prince of Wales' Island (the latter name having only been officially abandoned within the last few years) is an island situated on the west coast of the Malay Peninsula in 5 deg. North latitude and with a strip of land on the opposite coast known as Province Wellesley, from which it is separated by a strait varying from 2 to 10 miles in width, constitutes the second in importance of the three governments known as the "Straits Settlements." The island contains an area of about 107 square miles, being 15 miles long and 9 broad at its widest portions, while Province Wellesley extends for a distance of 45 miles along the coast, and has an average width of 8 miles. The chief town of Penang is George Town, but the name of the island (which signifies "Betel nut island") has become so identified with the town that the specific designation has almost dropped out of use.

Penang was ceded to the now famous Captain Light for the East India Company in the year 1785 for an annual payment of $10,000 to the Rajah of Quetta, a step which was followed 13 years later by the cession of Province Wellesley. In the year 1806, Penang was elevated to the rank of a presidency, its rising fortunes even then bidding fair to eclipse those of Malacca, while Singapore was as yet un- known as a settlement. In 1825 Singapore and Malacca were incorporated with Penang, and the three were designated by the title they still retain. But as the fortunes of Singapore brightened, those of Penang declined, until the former quite overshadowed her older sister, and in 1832 the principal seat of Government was transferred to Singapore.

PENANG.

The settlement of Penang is nominally governed by a Lieut-Governor (future occupants of the post are to be termed Resident Councillors), but is in effect an appanage of Singapore, a resident merchant representing it in the Singapore Council. An important department of its trade lies in the business transacted with the Dutch settlements in Sumatra, and much excitement was caused during the Acheen war, by what its merchants deemed the undue restrictions placed on their trade by the Dutch authorities. Penang will always remain of certain importance, although it is not likely to again assume the position in the commercial world it formerly held. It is much looked to as an emigration centre for the labour required by the Dutch planters at Acheen and elsewhere. It is a convenient coaling and man-of-war station, and is of yet greater necessity as the virtual seat of government as regards Province Wellesley, which when the Peninsula is placed under British protection, as it must, sooner or later, be, will be an important centre of British influence. George Town is built on a plain, at the back of which rises the hill which, as Penangites declare, renders life on the island endurable. The shops, chiefly kept by Babas, or native-born Chinese, are fairly well supplied with necessaries. The census of 1881 gave 190,597 as the population, in which return, however, were included the population of Province Wellesley and the Dindings.

RULES OF SUPREME COURT

35. All persons having a joint cause of suit against any defendant ought ordinarily to be parties to the suit.

36. Where the plaintiff has a joint and several demand against several persons, either as principals or as sureties, it is not necessary for him to bring before the Court as parties to a suit concerning such demand all the persons Lable thereto, but he may proceed against one or more of the persons severally liable.

37. If it appears before or at the hearing that any person not joined as plaintiff or as defendant ought to be so joined, or that any person joining as plaintiff or as defendant ought not to be so joined, the Court may order the petition to be amended, with liberty to amend the other pleadings (if any), and on such terms as to time for answering, postponement or adjournment of bearing, and costs, as justice requires.

But no person shall be so joined as plaintiff without satisfactory evidence to the Court of bis consent thereto.

Nor shall the name of any plaintiff be struck out unless it appears to the satisfaction of the Court either that he was originally joined as plaintiff without his consent, or that be consents to his name being struck out.

38. Where a plaintiff sues any person as agent for some other person, not seeking to fix such agent with any personal liability, the Court, on the fact com ng to its knowledge, shall, if the person really sought to be fixed with liability is within the particular jurisdiction, forthwith order his name to be substituted, and stay proceedings until the order is complied with. But if he is not within the particular jurisdiction, shall refuse to proceed further in the matter, unless and until the person sued as agent undertakes, by writing under his hand, to defend the suit, and personally to satisfy any decree or order for debt or damages and costs ther in.

In the latter case the person sued as agent shall iurther, within such time as the Court orders and before the bearing of the suit, procure and file with the proceedings a sufficient authority in writing from the party on whose behalf such agent is affecting to act, to substitute the name of the principal as delend nt for his own, and to defend the suit, or otherwise act in it on behalf of such principal.

Such agent shall not, however, be deemed discharged by such authority and substitution from his personal undertaking and liability to satisfy any decrce or order in the suit, such authority and substitution being in all cases strictly required as a protection against collusive decrees which might affect absent persons.

39. In case a petition states two or more distinct causes of suit, by and against the same parties, and in the same rights, the Court may, either before or at the hearing, if it appears inexpedieat to try the different causes of suit together, or that different records be made up, make such order as to adjournment and costs as justice requires.

In case a petition states two or more distinct causes of suit, but not by and against the same parties, or by and against the same parties but not in the same rights, te petition may, on the application of any defendant, be dismissed.

In case such application is made within the time for answer, the petition may be dismissed, with substantial costs to be paid by the plaintiff to the defendant making the application; but in case the application is not made within the time for answer, the petition, when the defect is brought to the notice of the Court, may be

RULES OF SUPREME COURT

The application when male, unless consented to, must be supported by affidavit or by oral evidence on oath, showing that there is reasonable ground for the application, and that it is not made for the purpose of delay.

45. Where a defendant does not put in any answer he shall not be taken as admitting the allegations of the petition, or the plaintiff's right to the relief sought; and at the hearing (even though such defendant does not appear) the plaintiff must open his case, and adduce evidence in support of it, and take such judgment as to the Court appears just.

46. A defendant neglecting to put in an answer within the time or further time allowed, shall not be at liberty to put in any answer without leave of the Court.

The Court may grant such leave by order on the ex parte application of the defen ant at any time before the plaintiff has set down the cause, or applied to bave it set down for hearing.

Where the cause bas been set down or the plaintiff has applied to have it set down for hearing, the Court shall not grant such leave exce; t on return of a summons to the plaintiff, giving notice of the defendant's application, and on such terms as to costs and other matters as seem just.

47. The answer (Form 6) shall show the na'ure of the defend- ant's defence to the claim set up by the petition, but may not set forth the evidence by which such defence is intended to be sup- port d.

It should be clear and precise, and not introduce matter irrel vaut to the suit, and the rules before laid down respecting the setting out of documents and the contents of a petition generally shali be observed in answer, mutatis mutandis.

It must deny all such material allegations in the petition as the defen lant intends to deny at the hearing.

Where the answer denies an allegation of fact, it must deny it directly, and not by way of negative pr guant: as (for example) where it is alleged that the defendant has received a sum of money, the auswer must deny that he has received that sum or any part thereof, or else set forth what part he has received. And so, where a matter of fact is alleged in the petition with certain circumstances, the answer must not deuy it literally as it is alleged, but must answer the point of substance positively and certainly.

The answer must specifically admit such material allegation in the petition as te defendant knows to be true or desires to be taken as admitted. Such admission, if plain and specific, will prevent the plaintiff from obtaining the cost of proving at the hearing any matters of fact so admitted.

All material all gations of fact almitted by a defendant shall be taken as established against him, without proof thereof by the plaintiff at the hearing. But the plaintiff shall be bound to prove as against each defendant all allegations of act not admitted by him, or not stated by him to be true to his belief.

she answer must allege any matter of fact not sta'ed in the petition on which the defendent relies in defence, as establishing, for instance, fraud on the part of the plaintiff, or showing that the pla utilf's right to recover, or to any relief capable of being granted on the petition, has not yet accrued, or is released or barred or otherwise gone.

Specific Answer.

49.

       The defendant shall, within the time limited by such order, put Nature of answ: * in his answer accordingly, and shall therein answer the several material llegations in the petition, either admitting or denying the truth of such allegations seriatim, as the t uth or tals hooi of each is within his knowledge, or (as the case may be) stat.ng as to any one or more of the ailegations that he does not know whether such allegation or allegations is or are true or otherwise.

        The defen laut so answering may also set up by such auswer any defence to the suit, an i may explain away the effect of any admission therein made by any other allegation of facts.

Interrogatories.

Where a defendant in his answer raises a defence by way of set off, which, in the opinion of the Court, is not admissible as set-off, the Court may either before or at the hearing, on his application, give him liberty to withdraw such e ence, and to file a cross petition, and may make such order for the hearing of the suit and cross suit together or otherwise, on such terms as to costs and other matters as scem just.

Payment into Court.

54. Payment into Court by the defendant must be accompanied by an answer. The answer must state distinctly that te money paid in is pad in satisfaction of the plaintiff's claim generally, or (as the case may be) in satisfaction of some specific part of the plaintiff's claim, where the claim is stated in the petition for distinct sums or in respect of distinct matters.

Payment into Court, whether made in satisfaction of the plaintiff's claim generally or in satisfaction of some specific part thereof, operates as an admission of liability to the extent of the amount paid in, and no more, and for no other purpose.

Where tle defendant pays money into Court, the plaintiff shall be at liberty to accept the same in full satisfaction and discharge of the cause of suit in respect of which it is paid in; and in that case the plaint ff may forthwith apply by not on or payment of the money out of Court to him; an? on the hearing of the m t on the Court sball make such order as to stay of further proceedings in the suit, in whole or in part, and as to costs and other matters, as se ms just. If the plaintiff does not so apply, he shall be considered as insisting that he has sustained damages to a greater amount, (as the case may be) that the defendant was and is indebt d to him in a greater amount than the sum paid in; and in that case the Court, in determining the suit and disposing of costs at the hearing, shall have regard to the fact of the payment into Court having been made and not accepted.

Counter-claim.

55. Where a defendant in his answer raises any specific defence, and it appears to the Court that on such de ence being established he may be entitled to rel ef against the plaintiff in respect of the subj et-matter of the su t, the Court may, on the application of the d fendant ether before or at the hearing, if under the circum-tances of any case it thinks fit, give lab rty to him to file a counter claiu by a cross-peti ion in the same sut, asking for relief against the plaintiff, and way make such order for the haring o`th suit and counter-claim to_et.e; or otherwise, and in sach" ̈m muer and on suca forms as to costs and other matt is as seem just, and may, it in any case it seems lit, require the plaintiff to give security to the satesiaction of the Court (bx deposit or otherwise) to abide by and perform the dec sion of t e Comt on the counter-clain.

Where the plaintiff considers the contents of the answer to Amendment of petition be such as to render an amendment of the petition necessary or desirable, he may obtain ex parte an order to amend the petition, on satisfying the Court that the amendment is not intended for the purpose of d lay or vexation, but because it is considered to be material for the plaintiff's case.

        Notice of the am nlment shall be given to the defen lant within such time and in such manner as the Court in each case directs.

Settlement of Issues.

       58. At any time before or at the hearing the Court may, if it Before or at hearing. thinks fit, on the application of any party or of its own motion, proceed to ascertain and determine what are the material questions in controversy between the parties, although the same are not distinctly or properly raised by the pleings, and may reduce such questions in writing and settle them in the form of issues; which issues when settled may state questions of law on admitted facts, or questions of disputed fact, or questions partly of the one kind and partly of the order.

The bond shall be in a penalty of double the amount un ler which the personal estate of the deceased is sworn, unless the proper officer in any case thinks it expedient to reduce the amount, for reasons to be forthwith certified by him to the Judge of the Suprem · Court.

The proper officer may also in any case direct that more bonds than one shall be given, so as to limit the liability of any surety to such amount as the officer thinks reasonable.

216. The Judge of the Supreme Court may, on application, in a summary way, and on being satisfied that the condition of any administration bond has been broken, assign the same to some person, who shall thereupon be entitled to sue on the bond in his own name, as if the same had been originally given to him instead of to the Judge of the Supreme Court, and shall be entitled to recover the con, as trustee for all persons interested, the full amount recoverable in respect of any breach of the condition of the bond.

You are desired to pay attention to the following directions:- If the Plaintiff fails to attend in person or by counsel or attorney on the day appointed, the case if called on may be struck out, and the Plaintiff will be liable to pay to the Defendant such costs as may be fixed by the Court. Also, the case must be set down in the General Hearing List afresh, by which the Plaintiff will incur de'ay and expense.

If the Defendant fails to attend in person or by counsel or attorney on the day appointed, the case if called on may, if the Court so directs, be heard and determined in Lis absence on the evidence adduced on behalf of the Plaintiff, and the Court will issue execution of the judgment so obtained.

If either party has any application to make to the Court to postpon the hearing, it should be made as soon as possible, on application for a summons for that purpose, and if the appli ation is based on any matter of fact, as the absence of a mate ial witness or the like, the facts reled on must be set out and verified in one or more affidavit or affidavits filed in the Court be ore such application.

     The partis are warned that at the hearing they are required to adduce all the testimony, wri ten and oral, which each of them desires to rely on, in support of his own case and in contradiction of that of his oppon nt. The proof wil be required at the hearing and not on a su! sequent day, and parties ailing to bring their testim ny forward a the proper time may find themselves ab olutely precluded from adducing i' at all, or at best on y allowed to do so on payment of subs antial costs to the other side, and on such other terms as the Court thinks fit to impose.

RULES OF SUPREME COURT

Parties desirous to enforce the attendance of witn sses should apply at once to the Court to issue to or to procure from the national authority of the witness requi ed a summons for att ndance.

I is indispensable that the application should be made so as to allow time for a reasonable notice to the witness required.

If the witness is required to bring books or papers, they must be particularized in the summons sufficiently to enable him clearly to understand what is meant.

Any party summoning a witness through the Court, thereby becomes liable to pay such witness a reasonable sum of money to be summarily fixed by the Cour: for his expenses and loss of time.

The Court wil not enforce the attendance of a witness unless such sum has been deposited in the Court.

If either party desir s to use in evidence at the hearing any book, paper, or document in the possession or power of the other party, he must give the other party reasonable notice in writing to produce it at the hearing, failing which he will not be allowed to give any secondary evidence of its contents.

No person is excluded from giving evidence by reason of inter- est or relationship. The parties themselves, their wives, relations, partners, and servants respectively are competent witnesses.

RULES OF PROCEDURE TO BE OBSERVED IN HER MAJESTY'S

SUPREME COURT FOR CHINA AND JAPAN,

IN ADMIRALTY.

     Whereas it is of urgent necessity that Rules of Procedure in Admiralty causes should be framed for the guidance of suitors, and whereas, by virtue of provisions contained in 26 and 27 Vict., c. 24 (" An Act to facilitate the appointment of Vice- Admiral and Officers in Vice-Admiralty Courts in Her Majesty's possessions abroad," &c., &c.), which provisions are, by the 54th section of the China and Japan Order in Council 1865, extended to the Supreme Court in China and Japan, the said Supreme Court, as a Vice-Admiralty Court, has jurisdiction in (amongst other things) the matters following:-

(1) Claims for Seamen's wages.

(2) Claims for Master's wages, and for his disbursements on account of the ship; (3) Claims in respect of pilotage;

(4) Claims in respect of salvage of any ship, or of life or goods therefrom; (5) Claims in respect of towage ;

(6) Claims for damage done by any ship;

(7) Claims in respect of bottomry or respondentia bonds;

(8) Claims in respect of any mortgage where the ship has been sold by a decree

of the Vice-Admiralty Court, and the proceeds are under its control; (9) Clains between the owners of any ship registered in the possession in which the Court is established, touching the ownership, possession, employment, or earnings of such ship;

(10) Claims for necessaries supplied, in the possession in which the Court is established, to any ship of which no owner of part owner is domiciled within the possession at the time of the necessaries being supplied; and (11) Claims in respect of the building, equipping, or repairing within any British possession of any ship of which no owner or part owner is domiciled within the possession at the time of the work being done:

     It is ordered that, for the regulation of the practice and procedure to be observed in the Supreme Court as a Vice-Admiralty Court, the following Rules shall be established:-

1. All proceedings in Admiralty must be so headed.

be conducted in the som One Court in matters o

NOTE-Proceedings "in Admiralty" are either in remor in personam. Actions in personam så. way as all other actions of a similar nature, according to the Rules of Procedure prevailing in the Su Law and Equity. The following outline of procedure will, therefore, be understood to refer only w actions in rem, that is against the Res, in other words, the subject-matter of the action.

2.-The name and nationality of the ship against which the proceedings are taken must appear, as also that of the master; and when the owners are known, their names and residences should likewise be given.

        NOTE.-To give the Court jurisdiction in claims Nos. 10 and 11 (see above), the fact of the owners not being domicile d within the jurisdiction of the Court should be stated.

3. Any number of persons having a common interest may join in one action according to the practice of Admiralty Courts in England; and there may, in accordance with the same practice, be one action against several Res.

       NOTE.-Such consolidation of separate claims may likewise be ordered on the application of the defendant, or by the Court of its own motion,

4.-Proceedings in rem must be commenced by an application for the arrest of the Res. This application must state the nature of the debt or claim and the amount

sought to be recovered (which should include the estimated costs of the suit). It must be supported by an affidavit of all the circumstances which justify its being made, and a fee is to be paid on its being granted.

-one copy for service on the vessel, another for the Court, and the third

NOTE. The application must be filled in triplicate,--

for service on any party who may appear to the action.

(2) It shall be in the discretion of the Court to require and take security from the applicant for the prosecution of the suit, as well as to cover any damages which may be awarded against him, in consequence of the impropriety, frivolity, or maliciousness of the application.

(3) All payments into Court shall be made in such currency and at such exchange as the Court shall direct.

    5.--On the application being made in due form, a warrant will issue to the officer of the Court, to arrest the Res and cite all persons, having an interest in the subject-matter of the arrest, to appear within a time mentioned in the warrant and answer to the plaintiff in his cause.

    6. The arrest shall be executed by the arresting officer affixing a certified copy of the warrant to the principal mast or to some other conspicuous part of the ship, after having previously read the original warrant to the officer or other person in charge of the vessel.

NOTE. The warrant extends to the apparel, appurtenances, &c. of the ship, although all or part may have been detached from her and sent on shore. If the entire cargo be still on board the vessel, the service on the mast arrests the former as well as the latter, and should the action be against the freight, this latter is considered to be arrested simultaneously with the cargo. But should the cargo have been landed, and deposited in a public or private warehouse, a separate and distinct arrest of it must be made-provided the warehouse be within the jurisdiction of a British Court. In this case, the officer of the Court will affix a certified copy of the warrant on such separate cargo, and do the like if the cargo has been transhipped to a British ship, But if the warehouseman, or person in charge of the cargo, will not permit access to it, the officer will serve him instead of the Res with the warrant, by showing to him the original and leaving with him a copy of it.

(2) The fact of arrest is to be certified by endorsement under the hand of the officer making it.

7.-A person nominated by the Court shall be left in charge of the Res.

NOTE.-A fee will be charged on each of the three last named steps (5-7), that is to say, for the warrant, the service and arrest, and the expenses connected with and arising out of the custody of the ship, &c.

8.-The fact of the arrest and the citation to appear shall be advertised in the usual way.

    9. At any time before the trial of the case, the owner or Captain or any one interested in the vessel or in the cargo or freight attached, may come in and give an undertaking to appear or to appear and give bail to the action. Such an undertaking shall operate as a stay of all proceedings for twenty-four hours, after which time, or such extended time as the Court may see fit to grant, if no appearance is entered or no bail given, the proceedings shall continue as if no such undertaking had been given.

NOTE.- If bail-which also implies appearance-be given, the Res arrested shall be released, and the action proceed. (2) If only an appearance is entered, the Res shall be detained under arrest.

(3. On boil being tendered and an appearance entered, it shall be competent for the Court to require security for costs. (1) On tender of bail, it shall be competent for the Court to accept the same, or to call on the petitioner to accept the same, or to make an order for justification of the bail,

CHAPTER II-ARREST OF ABSCONDING DEFENDANT-INTERIM ATTACHMENT- INJUNCTIONS-DETENTION OF SHIPS.

XVI.-If in any suit, not being a suit for laud or other immoveable property, the defendant is about to leave the juris liction of the Court, or has disposed of or removed from the jurisdiction of the Court is property, or any part thereof, the plaintiff may, either at the institution of the suit, or at any time thereafter until final judgment, make an application to the Court that security be taken for the appearance of the defendant to answer any judgment that may be passed against him in the suit. 2. Is the Court, after making such investigation as it may consider necessary, shall be of opinion that there is probable cause for believing that the defendant is about to leave its jurisdiction, or that he has disposed of or removed from the jurisdiction of the Court his property, or any part thereof, and that in either case, by reason thereof, the execution of any decree which may be made against him is likely to be obstructed or delayed, it s all be lawful for the Court to issue a warrant to the sheriff eujoining him to bring the defendant before the Court that he may show canse why ne should not give good and sufficient bail for his appearance.

3.-If the defon lant fail to show such cans, the Court shall order him to give bail for his appearance at any time when called upon while the surt is pending, and until execution of satisfaction of any decree that may be passed against him in the suit; and the surety or sureties shalt undertake, in default of such appearance, to pay any sum of money that may be adjudged against the defendant in the suit, with costs. 4. Should a defendant offer, in lieu of bail for his appearance, to deposit a sum of money, or other valuable property, sufficient to answer the claim against him, with the costs of the suit, the Court may accept sich deposit.

      5. In the event of the defendant neither furnishing security nor offering a sufficient deposit, he may be committ 3 to custody until the decision of the suit, or if judgment be given against the defendant, until the execution of the decree, if tue Court shall so order.

      6.-If it shall appear to the Court that the arrest of the defendant was applied for on insufficient gounds, or if the suit of the plaintiff is dismissed, or judgment is given against him by default or otherwise, and it shall appear to the Court that there was no pr bable ground for instituting the suit, the Court may (on the application of the defendant) award against the plaintiff such amount, not exceeding the sum of one thousand dollars, as it may d ́em a reasonable compensation to the def ndant for any injury or loss which he may have sustained by reason of such arrest: Provided that the Court shall not award a larger amount of compenstion under this Section than it is competent to such Court to decree in an action for damages. An award of compensation under this section shall bar any suit for da uages in respect of such

arrest.

Interim Attachment of his Property.

      XVII.-If the defendant, with the intent to obstruct or delay the execution of any decree that may be passed against him, is about to d spos of his property, or any part thereof, or to remove any such property from the jurisdiction of the Court, the plaintiff may apply to the Court, either at the time of the institution of the suit or any time thereafter until final judg ut, to call upon the defendant to furnish sufficient security to fulfil any decree that may be a ale against him in the suit, and

CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE-HONGKONG.

 on his failing to give such security, to direct that any property, moveable or immoveable, belonging to the defendant, shall be attached until the further order of the Court.

   2. The application shall contain a specificationf the property required to be attached, and the estimated value there f, so far as the plaintiff can reasonably ascertain te same; and the plaintiff' shall, at the time of making the application, declare that to the best of his information and belief, the defendant is about to dispose of or remove his property with such intent as aforesaid.

   3.-If the Court, after making such investigation as it may consi er necessary, shall be satisfied that the defendant is about to dispose of or remove his property, with intent to obstruct or de'ay ti e execution of the decree, it shall be lawful for the Court to issue a warrant to the sheriff, commanding him to call upon the defendant, within a time to be fixed by the Court, either to furnish security in such sum as may be specified in the order, to produce and place at the disposal of the Court when required the said property, or the value of the same, or such portion thereof as may be sufficient to fulfil the decree, or to appear, and show cause why he should not furnish security. The Court may also in the warrant direct the attachment until further order of the whole or any portion of the property specified in the application.

Of Claims to Attached Property.

LXXVII.-In the event of any claim being preferred to, or objection offered against, the sale of lands or any other immoveable or moveable property which may have been attached in execution of a decree or under any order for attachment made before judgment, as not liable to be sold in execution of a decree against the defendant, the Court shall, subject to the proviso contained in the next succeeding section, proceed to investigate the same with the like powers as if the claimant had been originally made a defendant to the suit, and if it shall appear to the satisfaction of the Court that the land or other immoveable property was not in the possession of the party against whom execution is sought, or of some person iu trust for him, or in the occupancy of persons paying rent to him at the time when the property was attached, or that being in the possession of the party himself at such time, it was so in his possession not on his own account, or as his own property, but on account of, or in trust for, some other person, the Court shall make an order for releasing the said property from attachment. But if it shall appear to the satisfaction of the Court that the land or other immoveable or moveable property was in possession of the party against whom execution is sought, as his own property, and not on account of any other person, or was in the possession of some person in trust for him, or in the occupancy of persons paying rent to him at the time when the property was attached, the Court shall disallow the claim. The party against whom the order may be given shall be at liberty to bring a suit to establish his right at any time within one year from the date of the order.

2. The claim or objection shall be made at the earliest opportunity to the Court; and if the property to which the claim or objection applies shall have been advertised for sale, the sale may (if it appears necessary) be postponed for the purpose of making the investigation mentioned in the last preceding paragraph: Provided that no such investigation shall be made if it appear that the making of the claim or objection was designedly and unnecessarily delayed, with a view to obstruct

CONVENTION AND TREATY OF PEACE BETWEEN GREAT BRITAIN AND CHINA, 1858-1860.

PROCLAMATION.

The Earl of Elgin and Kincardine, K.T., G.C.B. Her Britannic Majesty's Special Ambassador in China, &c., &c., has much satisfaction in informing Her Majesty's subjects in China that a Convention for re-establishment of Peace between Great Britain and China was concluded, and the Ratification of the Treaty of Tientsin of the Year 1858, duly exchang d at Peking, on the 24th of October, 1860.

The Earl of Elgin now publishes for general information the text of the said Convention and Treaty, together with the text of the tariff and rules which form part of the Treaty, and were agreed to by him and the Plenipotentiaries of the Emperor of China at Shanghai, on the 8th of November, 1858.

The Earl of Elgin trusts that by a considerate treatment of the natives with whom they may come into contact, and a faithful observance of their obligations towards the Chinese Government, Her Majesty's subjects in China will do what in them lies to reconcile the people and authorities of China to the changes in their relations with foreigners which are about to be introduced under the international compacts herewith promulgated-changes which, if they be carried into effect in such manner as to afford greater scope to the commercial activity of the Chinese people, without doing unnecessary violence to their habits and traditions, will, it may be hoped, prove beneficial to them, and to all who have dealings with them.

 Due notice will be given whenever the arrangements for carrying into execution the provisions of this Convention and Treaty, at the Ports thereby opened to British Trade, shall be completed.

   But it shall be at the option of any British subject desiring to convey produce purchased inland to a port, or to convey imports from a port to an inland market, to clear his goods of all transit duties, by payment of a single charge. The amount of this charge shall be leviable on exports at the first barrier they may have to pass, or, on imports, at the port at which they are landed; and on payment thereof a certificate shall be issued, which shall exempt the goods from all further inland charges whatsoever.

   It is further agreed that the amount of this charge shall be calculated, as nearly as possible, at the rate of two and a half per cent. ad valorem, and that it shall be fixed for each article at the conference to be held at Shanghai for the revision of the tariff.

It is distinctly unders'ood that the payment of transit dues, by commutation or otherwise, shall in no way affect the tariff duties on imports, or exports, which will continue to be levied separately and in full.

Art. XXIX.-British merchant vessels, of more than one hundred and fiity tons burden, shall be charged tonnage-dues at the rate of four mace per ton; if of one hundred and fifty tons and under, they shall be charged at the rate of one mace per ton.

Any vessel clearing from any of the open ports of China for any other of the open ports, or for Hongkong, shall be entitled, on application of the master, to a special certificate from the Customs, on exhibition of which she shall be exempted from all further payment of tonnage-dues in any open port of China, for a period of four months, to be reckoned from the date of her port-clearance.

   Art. XXX.-The master of any British merchant-vessel may, within forty-eight hours after the arrival of his vesel, but not later, decide to depart without breaking bulk, in which case he will not be subject to pay tonnage-dues. But tonnage dues shall be held due after the expiration of the sai: forty-eight hours. No other fees or charge upon entry or departure shall be levied.

Art. XXXI.-No tonna e-dues shall be payable on b a's emlored by British subjects in the conveyance of passengers, baggage, letters, articles of provision, or other articles not subject to duty, between an of the open ports. Al cargo-boats, however, conveying merchandise subject to duty shall pay tunage-dues once in four months, at the rate of one mace per register ton.

Art. XXXII.-The Consul and Superintendent of Customs shall consult toge her regarding the erection of beacons or lighthouses, and the distribution of buoys and lightships, as occasion may demand.

Art. XXXIII.-Duties shall be paid to the bankers, authorized by the Chinese Government to receive the same in its behalf, either in sycee or in foreign money, according to the assay made at Canton on the thirteenth of July, one thousand eight hundred and forty-three.

Art. XXXIV. Sets of standard weights and measures, prepared according to the standard issued to the Canton Custom-house by the Board of Revenue, stall be delivered by the Superintendent of Customs to the Consul at each port, to secure uniformity and prevent confusion.

If there shou'd le any other points in dispute which cannot be settled, the British merchant may appeal to his Consul, who will communicate the particn'ars of the case to the Superintendent of Customs, that it may be equitably arranged.

The above pay no import or export duty, but, if transported into the interior will, with the exception of personal baggage, gold and silver bullion, and foreign coins, pay a transit duty at the rate of 25 per cent. ad valorem.

     A freight, or part freight of duty-free commodities (personal baggage, gold and silver bulion, and foreign coins, excepted) will render the vessel carrying them, though no other cargo b. › on board, liable to tonnage dues.

RULE 3.-Contraband Goods.-Import and export trade is alike prohibited in the following articles: Gunpowder, shot, cannon, fowling-pieces, rifles, muskets, pistols, aid all other munitions and implements of war, and salt.

RULE 4.-Weights and Measures,-In the calculation of the Tariff, the weight of a picul of one hundred catties is held to be equal to one hundred and thirty-three and one-t vird pounds avoir lupois; and the length of a chang of ten Chinese fest to be equal to one hundred and forty-one English inches.

One Chinese chib is held to be equal to fourteen and one-tenth inches English ; and four yards Euglish, less three inches, to equal one chang.

    RULE 5.-Regarding certain Commodities heretofore Contraband.-The restrictions affecting trade in opium, cash, grain, pulse, sulphur, brimstone, saltpetre, and spelter are relaxed, under the following conditious:

:=

I. Opium will henceforth pay thirty taels per picul import duty. The importer will sell it only at the port.. It will be carried into the interior by Chinese only, and only as Chinese property; the foreign trader will not be allowed to accompany it. Tue provisions of Article IX. of the Treaty of Tientsin, by which British subjects are authorized to proceed into the interior with passports to trade, will not extend to it, nor will those of Article XXVIII. of the same treaty, by which the transit-dues are regulated. The transit-dues on it will be arranged as the Chinese Government see fit: nor in future revisions of the Tariff is the same rule of revision to be applied to opium as to other goods.

II. Copper Cash.-The export of cash to any foreign port is prohibited; but it shall be lawful for Briish subjects to ship it at one of the open ports of China to another, on compliance with the following Regulation: The shipper shall give notice of the amount of cash he desires to ship, and the port of its destination, and shall bind himself, either by a bond, with two sufficient sureties, or by depositing such other

security as may be deemed by the Customs satisfactory, to return, within six months from the date of clearance to the collector at the port of shipment, the certificate issued by him, with an acknowledgment thereon of the receipt of the cash at the port of destination by the collector at that port, who shall thereto affix his seal; or failing the production of the certificate, to forfeit a sum equal in value to the cash shipped. Cash will pay no duty inwards or outwards; but a freight or part freight of cash, though no other cargo be on board, will render the vessel carrying it liable to pay tonnage du s.

III. The export of rice and all other grain whatsoever, native or foreign, no matter where grown or whence imported, to any foreign port, is prohibited; but these commodities may be carried by British merchants from one of the open ports of China to another, under the same conditions in respect of security as cash, on payment at the port of shipment of the duty specified in the Tariff.

They must be sold at the ports only, and, except at the ports, they will be regarded as Chinese property.

    Iufractions of the conditions, as above set forth, under which trade in opium, cash, grain, pulse, saltpetre, brimstone, sulphur, and spelter may be henceforward carried on, will b punishable by confiscation of all the goods concerned.

RULE 6.-Liability of Vessels entering Port.-To the prevention of misunderstand- ing, it is agreed that the term of twenty-four hours, within which British vessels must be reported to the Consul uuder Article XXXVII. of the Treaty of Tientsin, shall be understood to commence from the time a British vessel comes within the limits of the port; as also the term of forty-eight hours allowed her by Article XXX. of the same Treaty to remain in port without payment of tonnage dues.

Merchandise shall be cleared of its transit dues under the following conditions:

In the case of Imports.- Notice being given at the port of entry, from which the Imports are to be forwarded inland, of the nature and quantity of the goods, the ship from which they have been landed, and the place inland to which they are bound,

RULES FOR JOINT INVESTIGATION IN CASES OF CONFISCATION AND FINE BY THE CUSTOM HOUSE AUTHORITIES.*

Agreed to and Promulgated by the British Minister at Peking, 31st May, 1868.

RULE I.-It shall be the Rule for all business connected with the Custom House Department to be in the first instance transacted between the Commissioner of Customs and the Consul, personally or by letter; and procedure in deciding cases shall be taken in accordance with the following Regulations.

     RULE II. Whenever a ship or goods belonging to a foreign merchant is seized in a port in China by the Custom House officers, the seizure shall be reported without delay to the Kicn-tuh, or Chinese Superintendent of Customs. If he considers the seizure justifiable, he will depute the Shwui-wu-sze, or foreign Commissioner of Customs, to give notice to the party to whom the ship or goods are declared to belong that they have been seized because such or such an irregularity has been committed, and that they will be confiscated, unless, before noon on a certain day, being the sixth day from the delivery of the notice, the Custom House authorities receive from the Consul an official application to have the case fully investigated.

The merchant to whom the ship or goods belong, it prepared to maintain that the alleged irregularity has not been committed, is fr e to appeal, within the limited time, directly to the Commissioner, who is to in orm the Superintendent. If satisfied with his explanations, the Superintendent will direct the release of the ship or goods; otherwise, if the merc aut el ct not to appeal to the Customs, or if, after receiving his explanations, the Superintendent still decline to release the ship or goods, he may appeal to bis Consul, who will inform the Superintendent of the particulars of this appeal, and request him to name a day for them both to investigate and try the case publicly.

RULE III.-The Superintendent, on receipt of the Consul's communication, will name a day for meeting at the Custom House; and the Cousul will direct the merchant to appear with his witnesses there on the day named, and will himself on that day proceed to the Custom House. The Superintendent will invite the Consul to takə his seat with him on the bench; the Commissioner of Customs will also be seatel to assist the Superintendent.

    Proceedings will be opened by the Superintendent, who will call on the Customs employés who seized the ship or gools to state the circumstances which occasioned the seizure, and will question them as to their evidence. Whatever the merchant may have to advance in contradiction of their evidence he will state to the Consul, who will cross-examine them for him. Such will be the proceedings in the int rest of truth and equity. The Consul and Superintendent may, if they see fit, appoint deputies to meet at the Custom House in their stead, in which case the order of proceeding will be the sam as if they were present in person.

RULE IV. Notes will be taken of the statements of all parties examined, a copy of which will be signed and sealed by the Consul and Suprinten lent. The room will then be cleared, and tae Superintendent will inform the Consul of the course he proposes to pursue. If he proposes to confiscate the vessel or gools, and the Consul dissents, the merchant may appeal and the Cousul, having given notice of the appeal to the Superintendent, they will forwar 1 certified copies of the above notes to Peking. -the former to his Minister, and the latter to the Foreign Ofic, for their decision.

    If the Consul agrees with the Superint n·lent that the ship or goods ought to be confiscated, the merchant will not have the right of appeal; and in no case will the release of ship or goods entitle him to clain indemnity for their seizure, whether they be released after the investigation at the Custom House, or after the appeal to the bigh authorities of both nations at Peking.

RULE V.-The case having been referred to superior authority, the merchant interested shall be at liberty to give a bond, bin ling himself to pay the full value of

Majesty's Plempotentiary.

RULES FOR JOINT INVESTIGATION.

the ship or goods attached should the ultimate decision be against him; which bond being sealed with the Consular seal, and deposited at the Custom House, the Super- intendent will restore to the merchant the ship or goods attached; and when the superior authorities shall have decided whether so much money is to be paid, or the whole of the property seized be confiscated, the merchant will be called on to pay accordingly. If he decline to give the necessary security, the ship or merchandise attached will be detained. But whether the decision of the superior authorities be favourable or not, the appellant will not be allowed to claim indemnity.

   RULE VI.--When the act of which a merchant at any port is accused is not one involving the confiscation of ship or cargo, but is one which, by Treaty or Regulation, is punishable by fine, the Commissioner will report the case to the Superintendent, and at the same time cause a plaint to be entered in the Consular Court. The Consul will fix the day of the trial, and inform the Commissioner that he may then appear with the evidence and the witnesses in the case. And the Commissioner, either personally or by deputy, shall take bis seat on the bench, and conduct the case on behalf of the prosecution.

When the Treaty or Regulations affix a specific fine for the offence, the Consul shall on conviction give judgment for that amount, the power of mitigating the sentence resting with the Superintendent and Commission r. If the defendant is acquitted, and the Commissioner does not demur to the decision, the ship or goods, if any be under seizure, shall at once be released, and the circumstances of the case be communicated to the Superintendent. The merchant shall not be put to any expense by delay, but he shall have no claim for compensation on account of hindrance in his business, for loss of interest, or for demurrage. If a difference of opinion exists between the Commissioner and Consul, notice to that effect shall be given to the Superintendent, and copies of the whole proceedings forwarded to Peking for the consideration of their respective high authorities. Pending their decision, the owner of the property must file a bond in the Consular Court to the full value of the pro- posed fine, which will be sent to the Custom House authorities by the Consul, and the goods or ship will be released.

RULE VII.-If the Custom House authorities and Consul cannot agree as to whether certain duties are leviable or not, action must be taken as Rule V. directs, and the merchant must sign a bond for the value of the duties in question. The Consul will affix his seal to this document, and send it to the Custom House autho- rities, when the Superintendent will release the goods without receiving the duty ; and these two functionaries will respectively send statements of the case to Peking,- one to his Minister, the other to the Foreign Office.

If it shall be decided there that no duty shall be levied, the Custom House authorities will return the merchant's bond to the Consul to be cancelled; but if it be decided that a certain amount of duty is leviable, the Consul hall require the merchant to pay it in at the Custom House.

   RULE VIII.-If the Consul and the Cu-tom House authorities cannot agree as to whether confiscation of a ship, or a cargo, or both of them together, being the property of a foreign merchant, shall take place, the case must be referred to Peking for the decision of the Foreign Office, and the Minister of his nation. Pending their decision, the merchant must, in accordance with Rule V., sign a bond for the amount, to which the Consul will affix his seal, and send it for deposit at the Custom House.

   As difference of opinion as to the value [of ships or goods] may arise, the valua- tion of the merchant will be decisive; and the Custom House authorities may, if they see fit, take over either at the price afor said.

   If after such purchase it be decided that the property seized ought to be confiscated, the merchant must redeem his bond by paying in at the Custom House the original amount of the purchase-money. If the decision be against confiscation, the bond will be returned to the Consul for transmission to the merchaut, and the case then be closel. The sum paid to the Custom House authorities for ship or goods being regarded as their proper price, it will not be in the merchant's power, by a tender of the purchase-money, to recover them.

THE CHEFOO CONVENTION.

SIGNED, IN THE ENGLISH AND Chinese Languages, at CheFOO, 13TH SEPTEMBER, 1876.

Ratified by the Emperor of China 17th September, 1876.

Agreement negotiated between Sir Thomas Wade, K.C.B., Her Britannic Majesty's Envoy Ex raordinary and Mini-ter Plenipotentiary at the Court of China, and Li, Minister Plenipotentiary of His Majesty the Emperor of China, Senior Grand Secretary, G vernor-General of the Province of Chih-li, of the First Class of the Third Order of Nob lity.

    The negotiation be ween the Ministers above ramed bas its origin in a despatch received by Sir Thomas Wade, in the Spring of the present y ar, from the Earl of Derby, Principal Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, dated 1st January, 1876. This contained instructions regarding the dispo-al of three questions, firs', a satis- factory settlement of the Yunnan affair; secondly, a faithful fulfilment of engagements of last year respecting intercourse between the ligh officers of the two Governments; thirdly, the adoption of a uniform system in satisfaction of the understanding arrived at in the month of September, 1875 (8th moon of the 1st year of the reign Kwang Su), on the subject of recification o conditions of trade. I is to this despatch that Sir Thomas Wade has referred himsel in discussions on these questions with the Tsung-li Yamên, farther reference to which is here omitted as superfluous. The conditions now agreed to between Sir Thomas Wade and the Grand Secretary are as follow:-

SECTION I.-Settlement of the Yunnan Case.

1.-A Memorial is to be presented to the Throne, whether by the Tsung-li Yamên or by the Grand Secretary Li is immaterial, in the sense of the memorandum prepared by Sir Thomas Wade. B-fore presentation the Chinese text of the Memorial is to be shown to Sir Thomas Wade.

    2.-The Memorial having been presented to the Throne, and the Imperial Decree in reply received, the Tsung-li Yamê will communicate copies of tie Memorial and Imperial Decree to Sir Thomas Wade, together with copy of a letter from the Tsung-li Yamên to the Provincial Governments, instructing them to issue a proclama- tion that shall embody at length the above Memorial and Decree. Sir Thomas Wade will thereon reply to the effect that for two years to come officers will be sent by the British Minister to different places in the provinces to see that he proclama ion is posted. Or application from the British Minister or the Consul of any port instructed by him to make application, the high officers of the provinces will depute competent officers to accompany those so sent to the places which they go to observe,

    3.-In order to the framing of such regulat ons as will be needed for the conduct of the frontier trade between Burmah and Yunnan, the Memorial submitting the prop.sed etilement of the Yunnan affair vil contain a request that an Imperial Decree be issued directing the Gov r or-G neral and Governor, wherever the Bitish Government shall send officers to Yünna", to el c: a competent officer of rink to coufer with them and to conclude a satisfactory arrangment.

    4.-The British Government will be free for five years, from the 1st of January next, being the 17th day of the 11tb moon of the 2nd year of the reign Kwang Su,

THE CHEFOO CONVENTION.

 to station officers at Ta-li Fu, or at some other suitable place in Yünnan, to observe the conditions of trade; to the end that they may have information upon which to base the regulations of trade when these have to be discussed. For the consideration and adjustment of any matter affecting British officers or subjects, these officers will be free to address themselves to the authorities of the province. The opening of the trade may be proposed by the British Government as it may find best at any time within the term of five years, or upon expiry of the term of five years.

Passports having been obtained last year for a Mission from India into Yünnan, it is open to the Viceroy of India to s nd such Mission at any time he may see fit.

   5.-The amount of indemnity to be paid on account of the families of the officers and others killed in Yünnan, on account of the expenses which the Yunnan case has occasioned, and on account of claims of British merchants arising out of the action of officers of the Chinese Government up to the commencement of the present year, Sir Thomas Wade takes upon himself to fix at two hundred thousand taels, payable on demand.

-

6. When the case is closed an Imperial letter will be written expressing regret for what has occurred in Yünnan. The Mission bearing the Imperial Letter will proceed to England immediately. Sir Thomas Wade is to be informed of the constitution of this Mission for the information of his Government. The text of the Imperial Letter is also to be communicated to Sir Thomas Wade by the Tsung-li Yamên.

SECTION II.-Official Intercourse.

Under this heading are included the conditions of intercourse between high officers in the capital and the provinces, and between Consular officers and Chinese officials at the ports; also the conduct of judicial proceedings in mixed cases.

1.-In the Tsung-li Yamên's Memorial of the 28th September, 1875, the Prince of Kung and the Ministers stated that their object in presenting it had not been simply the transaction of business in which Chinese and Foreigners might be concerned; missions abroad and the question of diplomatic intercourse lay equilly within their prayer.

To the prevention of farther misunderstanding upon the subject of intercourse and correspondence, the present conditions of both having caused complaint in the capital and in the provinces, it is agreed that the Tsung-li Yamên shall address a circular to the Legation, inviting Foreign Representatives to consider with them a code of etiquette, to the end that foreign officials in China, whether at the ports or elsewhere, may be treated with the same regard as is shown them when serving abroad in other countries and as would be shown to Chinese agents so serving abroad. The fact that China is about to establish Missions and Consulates abroad renders an understanding on these points essential.

2. The British Treaty of 1858, Article XVI., lays down that "Chinese subjects who may be guilty of any criminal act towards British subjects shall be arrested and punished by Chinese authorities according to the laws of China."

   "British subjects who may commit any crime in China shall be tried and punished by the Consul, or any other public functionary authorised thereto, according to the laws of Great Britain.

"Justice shall be equitably and impartially administered on both sides."

The words "functionary authorised thereto" are translated in the Chinese text "British Government.'

""

   In order to the fulfilment of its Treaty obligations, the British Government has established a Supreme Court at Shanghai, with a special code of rules, which it is now about to revise. The Chinese Government has established at Shanghai a Mixed Court; but the officer presiding over it, either from lack of power or dread of unpopularity, constantly fails to cuforce his judgments.

   It is now understood that the Tsung-li Yamên will write a circular to the Lega- tions, inviting Foreign R presentatives at once to consider with the Tsung-li Yamên the measures needed for the more effective administration of juctice at the Ports

    3.-It is agreed that, whenever a crime is committed affecting the person or property of a British subject, whether in the interior or at the open ports, the British Minister shall be free to send officers to the spot to be present at the investigation.

    To the prevention of misunderstanding on this point, Sir Thomas Wade will write a Note to the above effect, to which the Tsung-li Yamên will reply, affirming that this is the course of proceeding to be adhered to for the time to come.

    It is farther understood that so long as the laws of the two countries differ from each other, there can be but one principle to guide judicial proceedings in mixed cases in China, namely, that the case is tried by the official of the defendant's nationality; the official of the plaintiff's nationality merely attending to watch the proceedings in the interests of justice. If the officer so attending be dissatisfied with the proceedings, it will be in his power to protest against them in detail. The law administered will be the law of the nationality of the officer trying the case. This is the meaning of the words hui t'ung, indicating combined action in judicial proceedings, in Article XVI. of the Treaty of Tientsin; and this is the course to be respectively followed by the officers of either nationality

SECTION III.-Trade.

I. With reference to the area within which, according to the treaties in force, lekin ought not to be collected on foreign goods at the open ports, Sir Thomas Wade agres to move his Government to allow the ground rented by foreigners (the so-called Concessions) at the different ports, to be regarded as the area of exemption from lekin; and the Government of China will thereupon allow I-ch'ang in the province of Hu-pei; Wu-bu, in An Hui; Wen-Chow, in Che-Kiang; and Pei-hai (Pak-hoi), in Kwang-Tung to be ad led to the number of ports open to trade and to become Consular stations. The British Government will farther be free to send officers to reside at Ch'ung K'ing, to wa'ch the conditions of British trade in Sau Ch'uen. British merchants will not be allowed to reside at Ch'ung K'ing, or to open establish- ments or warehouses there so long as no st amers have access to the port. When steamers have succeeded in ascending the river sɔ far, farther arrangements can be taken into consideration.

    It is farther proposed as a measure of compromise that at certain points on the shore of the Great River, namely, Ta-t'ung and Ng in-Ching, in the province of An- Hui; Hu-Kou, in Kiang-Si; Wu-sueh, Lu-chi kou, and Sha shih in Hu-Kwang; these being all places of trade in the interior, at which, as they are not open poris, foreign merchants are not legally authorised to land or ship goods, steamers shall be allowed to touch for the purpose of landing or shipping passengers or goods; but in all instances by means of native boats only and subject to the regulations in force affecting native trade.

Produce accompanied by a half-duty certificate may be shipped at such points by the steamers, but may not be landed by them for sale. And at all such points, except in the case of imports accompanied by a transit duty certificate or exports similarly certificated, which will be severally passed free of lekin on exhibition of such certificates, lekin will be duly collected on all goods whatever by the native authorities. Foreign merchants will not be authorised to reside or open houses of business or warehouses at the places enumerated as ports of call.

2.--At all ports open to trade, whether by earlier or later agreement, at which no settlement area has been previously defined, it will be the duty of the British Consul, acting in concert with his colleagues, the Consuls of other Powers, to come to an understanding with the local authorities regarding the definition of the foreign settlement area.

3.-On opium, Sir Tuomas Wade will move his Government to sanction an arrangement different from that affecting other imports. British merchants, when opium is brought into port, will be obliged to have it taken cognisance of by the Customs, and deposited in bond, either in a werehouse or a receiving bulk, until such time as there is a sale for it. The importer will then pay the tariff duty upon it and the purchaser the lekin; in order to the prevention of evasion of the duty. The

amount of lekin to be collectel will be decided by the different Provincial Govern. ments according to the circumstances of each.

4-The Chinese Government agrees that Transit Duty Certificates shall be framed under one rule at all ports, no difference being male in the conditions set forth ther in; and, that so far as imports are concerned, the nationality of the person possessing an·l carrying there is immaterial. Native produce carried from an Iuland Centr to a Port of Shipment, if bona fide intended for shipinent to a foreign port, may be, by treaty, certificated by the British subject interested, and ex mpted by payment of the half duty from all charges d manded upon it en route. If produce be not the property of a British subject, or is being carrie to a port not for exportation, it is not entilel to the exemption that would be secured it by the exhibition of a Transit Duty Certificate. The British Minister is prepar d to agree with the Tsung-li Yamên upon rules that will secure the Chinese Governineut against abuse of the privil ge as affecting produce.

    The words nei-ti, inlaud, in the clause of Article VII. of the Rules appended to the Tariff, regarding carriage of imports inland, and of native produce purchased inland, apply as much to places on the sea coasts and river shores, as to places in the interior not open to foreign trade; the Chinese Government having the right to make arrangements for the prevention of abuses therat.

    5.-Article XLV. of the Treaty of 1858 prescribes no limit to the term within which a drawback may be claimed upon duty paid Imports. The British Minister agrees to a term of three years, after expiry of which no drawback shall be claim 'd.

t

6. The foregoing stipulations, that certain ports are to be opened to foreign trade, and that landing and shipping of goods at six places on the Great River is to be sanctioned, shall be given effect to within six mon hs after receipt of the Imperial Decree approving the memorial of the Grand Secre ary Li. The date for giving ffect to the stipulati ns aff cting exemption of mports from lekin taxation within the foreign settlemer.ts, and the coilection of lekin upor o ium by the Customs Inspec torate at the same time as the Tariff Duty upon it, will be fixed as soon as the British Government has arrived at an understanding on the subjec! with other foreign Governments.

7.-The Government of Hongkong having long complained of the interference of the Canton Customs Revenue Cruisers with the junk trade of the Colony, the Chinese Government agrees to the appointment of a Commission to consist of a British Consul, an officer of the Hongkong Government, and a Chinese official of equal rank, in order to tue establishment of some system that shall enable the Chinese Government to protect its revenue without prejudice to the interests of the Colony.

SIGNED, IN THE French and CHINESE LANGUAges, at Tientsin, 27TH JUNE, 1858.

Ratifications Exchanged at Peking, 25th October, 1860.

His Majesty the Emperor of the French and His Majesty the Emperor of Chius being desirous to put an enl to the existing misunderstanding between the two Empir 8, and wishing to re-establish and improve the relation of friendship, com- merce, and navigation between the two powers, have resolved to conclude a new treaty based on the common interest of the two countries, and for that purpose have named their plenipotentiaries, that is to say:--

    His Majesty the Emperor of the French, Baron Gros, Grand Officer of the Legion of Honour, Grand Cross of the Order of the Sa iour of Greece, Commander of the Order of the Conception of Portugal, &c., &c., &c.;

And His Majesty the Emperor of China, Kweiliang, Imperial High Com- missioner of the Ta Tsing Dynasty, Grand Minister of the East Palace, Dir ctor- Ge eral of the Council of Justice, &c., &c., &c.; and Hwashana, Imperial High Commissioner of the Ta-Tsing Dynasty, President of the Board of Finance, General of the Bordered Blue Banner of the Chinese Binner Force, &c., &c., &c.;

Who, having exchanged their full powers, which they have found in good and due form, have agreed upon the following Arti-les:---

    Art. I.-There shall be perpetual peace and friends ip between His Majesty the Emperor of the French and His Majesty the Emperor of China, and between the subjects of the two Empires, who shall enjoy equally in the respective states of the bigu contracting parties full and entire protection for their persons and property.

Art. II.-In order to maintain te peace so happily re-established between the two empires it has been agreed b tween the high contracting parties that, following in this respect the practice amongst Western nations the duly acer dited diplomatic agents of His Majesty the Emperor of the French to His Majesty the Emperor of China shall have the right of resorting to the capital of the empire when important affairs call them there. It is agreed between the high contracting parties that if any one of the powers having a treaty with China obtains for its diplomatic agents the right of permanently residing at Peking, Frince shall immediately enjoy the same right.

The diplomatic agents shall reciprocally enjoy, in the place of their r.sidence, the privileges and immunities accorded to them by international law, that is to say, that their persons, their families, their houses, and their correspondence, shall be inviolable, that they may take into their service such employés, couriers, interpretera, servants, etc., etc., as shall be necessary to them.

The expense of every kind occasioned by the diplomatic missions of France in China shall be supported by the French Government. The diplomatic agents which

it shall please the Emperor of China to accredit to His Majesty the Emperor of the French, shall be received in France with all the boro irs and prerogatives which the diplomatic agents of other nations accredited to the court of His Majesty the Emperor of the French enjoy.

Art. III.-The official communications of the French diplomatic and consular agents with the Chinese authorities shall be written in French, but shall be accom- panied, to facilitate the service, by a Chinese translation, as exact as possible, until such time as the Imperial Government of Peking, having interpreters speaking and writing French correctly, diplomatic correspondence shall be conducted in this language by the French agents and in Chinese by the officers of the empire. It is agreed that until then, and in case of difference in the interpretation, in re- ference to the French text and Chinese text of the clauses heretofore agreed upon in the conventions made by common accord, it shall always be the original text and not the translation which shall be held correct. This provision applies to the present treaty, and in the communications between the authorities of the two countries it shall always be the original text and not the trauslation which shall be held correct.

     Art. IV. Henceforth the official correspondence between the authorities and the officers of the two countries shall be regulated according to their respec'ive ranks and conditions and uron the basis of the most absolute reciprocity. This correspondence shall take place between the high French officers and the high Chinese officers, in the capital or elsewhere, by dispatch or communication; between the French sub- ordinate officers and the high authorities in the provinces, on the part of the former by statement, and on the part of the latter by declaration.

Between the officers of lower orders of the two nations, as above provided, on the footing of a perfect equality.

Merchants and generally all persons not having an official character shall on both sides use the form of representation in all documents addressed to or intended for the notice of the respective authorities.

Whenever a French subject shall have recourse to the Chinese authority, his representation shall first be submitted to the Consul, who, if it appears to him reasonable and properly addressed, shall forward it; if it be otherwise, the Consul shall cause the tenour to be modified or refuse to transmit it. The Chinese, on their part, when they have to address a consulate, shall follow a similar course towards the Chinese authority, who shall act in the same manner.

Art. V. His Maj sty the Emperor of the French may appoint Consuls or Con- sular Agents in the coast and river ports of the Chinese empire named in Article VI. of the present treaty to conduct the business btween the Chinese authorities and French merchants and subjects and to see to the strict observance of the stipulated rules. These officers shall be treated with the consideration and regard which are due to them. Their relations with the authorities of the place of their residence shall be established on the footing of the most perfect equality. If they shall have to complain of the proceedings of the sail authorities, they may address the superior authority of the province direct, and shall immediately advise the Minister Plenipo- tentiary of the Emperor thereof.

     In case of the absence of the French Consul, captains and merchants shall be at liberty to have recourse to the intervention of the Consul of a friendly power, or, if this be impossible, they shall have recourse to the chief of the Customs, who shall advise as to the means of assuring to the said captains and merchants the benefits of the present treaty.

Art. VI.-Experience having demonstrated that the opening of new ports to foreign commerce is one of the necessities of the age, it has been agreed that the ports of Kiung-chow and Chao-chow in the province of Kwangtung, Taiwan and Tamsui in the island of Formosa (province of Fohkien); Tang-chow in the pro- vince of Shantung, and Nanking in the province of Kiangsu, shall enjoy the same privileges as Canton, Shar ghai, Ningpo, Amoy, and Foochow.

     Art. VII.-French subjects and their families may establish themselves and trade or pursue their avocation in all security, and without bindrance of any kind, in the ports and cities enumerated in the preceding article.

     They may travel freely between them if they are provided with passports, but it is expressly forbidden to them to trade elsewhere on the coast in search of clandestine markets, under pain of confiscation of both the ships and goods used in such operations, and this confiscation shall be for the benefit of the Chinese Govern- ment, who, however, before the seizure and confiscation can be legally pronounced, must advise the French Consul at the nearest port.

     Art. VIII. -French subjects who wish to go to interior towns, or ports not open to foreign vessels, may do so in all security, on the express condition that they are provided with passports written in French and Chinese, legally delivered by the diplomatic agents or consuls of France in China and vised by the Chinese authorities.

In case of the loss of his passport, the French subject who cannot present it when it is legally required of him, shall, if the Chinese authorities of the place refuse him permission to remain a sufficient time to obtain another passport from the consul, be conducted to tie nearest consulate and shall not be maltreated or insulted in any way.

     As is stipulated in the former treaties, French subjects resident or sojourning in the ports open to foreign trade may travel without passports in their immediate neighbourhood and there pursue their occupations as freely as the natives, but they shall not pass certain limits which shall be agreed upon between the consul and the local authority. The French agents in China shall deliver passports to their nationals only for the places where the rebels are not established at the time the passport shall be demanded.

     These passport shall be delivered by the French authorities cnly to persons who offer every desirable guarantee.

Art. IX.-All changes marle by common consent with one of the signatory powers of the treaties with China on the subject of amelioration of the tariff now in force, or which may hereafter be in force, as also all rights of customs, tonnage, importation, transit, and exportation, shall be immediately applicable to French trade and mer- chants by the mere fact of their being placed in execution.

     Art. X.-Any French subject who, conformably to the stipulations of Article VI. of the present treaty, shall arrive at oue of the ports open to foreign tra le, may, whatever may be the length of his sojourn, rent houses and warehous s for the disposal of bis merchandise, or lease land and himself build houses and warehouses. French subjects may, in the samo manner, establish churches, hospitals, religious houses, schools, and cemeteries. To this end the local authority, after having agreed with the Consul, shall desiguate the quarters most suitable for the residence of the French and the sites on which the above-mentioned structures may bave place.

The terms of rents ard lases shall be freely discussed between the interested parties an regulated, as far as possible, according to the average local rates.

     The Chinese authorities shall prevent their nationals from exacting or requiring exorbitant prices, and the Consul on his side shall see that French subjects use no violence or constraint to force the consent of the proprietors. It is further under- stood that the number of houses and the extent of the ground to be assigned to French subjects in the ports open to foreign trade shall not be limited, and that they shall be determined according to the needs and convenience of the parties. If Chinese subjects injure or destroy French churches or cemeteries the guilty parties shall be punished with all the rigour of the laws of the country.

     Art. XI.-French subjects in the ports open to foreign trade may freely engage, on the terms agreed upon between the pa ties, or by the sole intervention of the Consul, compradores, interpreters, clerks, workmen, watermen, and servants. They shall also have the right of engaging teachers in order to learn to speak and write

the Chines language and any other language or dialect used in the empire, as also to secure their aid in scientific or iterary works. Equally they may teach to Chinese subjects their own or foreign languages and sell without obs'acl French books or themselves purchase Chinese books of all descriptions.

    Art. XII.-Property of any kind appertaining to French subjects in the Chinese empire shall be consi lered by the Chinese inviolable and shall always be respected by them. The Chinese authorities shall not, under any circumstances whatever, place French vessels und r embargo nor put them under requisition for any service, be it public or private.

    Art. XIII.-The Christian religion having for its essential object the leading of men to virtu, the members of all Christian communities shall enjoy entire security for their persons and property and the free exercise of their religion, and efficient protection shall be given to missionaries who travel peaceably in the interior furnished with passports as provided for in Article VIII.

No hindrance shall be offered by the authorities of the Chinese Empire to the recognised right of every individual in China to embrace, if he so pleases, Chris- tianity and to follow its practices without being liable to any punishment therefor.

All that has previously been written, proclaimed, or published in China by order of the Government against the Christian religion is completely abrogated and remains null and void in all provinces of the empire.

    Art. XIV.-No privileged commercial society shall henceforward be established in China, and the same shall apply to any organised coalition having for its end the exercise of a monopoly on tra·le. In case of the contravention of the present article the Chinese Authorities, on the representation of the Consul or Consular Agent, shall advise as to the means of dissolving such associations, of which they are also bound to pr vent the existence by the preceding prohibitions, so as to remove all that may stand in the way of free competition.

    Art. XV.- When a French vessel arrives in the waters of one of the ports open to foreign trade she shall be at liberty to engage any pilot to take her immediately into the port, and, in the same manner, when, having discharged all legal charges, she shall be ready to put to sea, she shall not be refused pilots to enable her to leave the port without hindrance or delay.

    Any individual who wishes to exercise the profession of pilot for French vessels may, on the presentation of three certificates from captains of ships, be commissioned by the French Consul in the same manner as shall be in use with other nations.

    Toe remuneration payable to pilots shall be equitably regulated for each parti- cular port by the Consul or Consular Agent, who shall fix it having regard to the distance and circumstances of the navigation.

    Art. XVI.-After the pilot has brought a French trading ship into the port, the Superintendent of Customs shall depute one or two officers to guard the ship and prevent fraud. These officers may, according to their convenience, remain in their own bʊat or stay on board the ship.

    Their pay, food, and expenses shall be a charge on the Chinese Customs, and they shall not demand any fee or remuneration whatever from the captain or consignee. Every contraven ion of this provision shall ertal a punishment proportionate to the amount exacted, the which a so shall be returned in full.

Art. XVII.-Within the twen y-four hours following the arrival of a French merchant vessel in one of the ports open to foreign trade, the captain, il he be not unavoidably prevent d, and in bis default the supercargo or consignee, shall report at the French Cousulate and place in the bands of the Consul the ship's papers, the bills of lading, and the manifest. Within the twenty-four hours next following the Consul shall send to the Superintendent of Customs a detaile note indicating the name of the vessel, the articles, the tonnage, aud the nature of the cargo; if, in consequence of the negligence of the captain this cannot be accomplis ed within the forty-eight hours following the arival of the vess 1, the captain shall be liable to a penalty of 50 dollars for each day's delay to the profit of the Chinese Government; but the said penalty shall in no case exceed the sum of 200 dollars.

Immediately after the reception of the consular note the Superintendent of Customs shall give a permit to open hatches. If the captain, before having received the said permit, shall have opened hatches and commenced to discharge, he may be fined 500 dollars, and the goods discharged may be seized, the whole to the profit of the Chinese G vernment.

     Art. XVIII.-French captains and merchants may hire whatever boats and lighters they please for the transport of goods and passengers, and the sum to be paid for such boats shall be settled between the parties themselves, without the intervention of the Chinese authority and, consequently, without its guarantee in case of accident, fraud, or disappearance of the said boats. The number of these boata shall not be limited, nor shall a monopoly in respect either of the boats or of the carriage of merchan lise by porters be granted to any one.

      Art. XIX.-Whenever a French merchant shall have merchandise to load or discharge he shail first remit a detailed note of it to the Consul or Consular Agent who will immediately charge a recognised interpreter of the Consula'e to communicate it to the Superintendent of Customs. The latter shall at once deliver a permit for shipping or landing the goods. He will then proceed to the verification of the goods in such manner that there shall be no chance of loss to any party.

     The French merchant must cause himself to be represented (if be does not prefer to attend himself) at the place of the verification by a person possessing the requisite knowledge to protect his interests at the time when the verification for the liquida- tion of the dues is male; otherwise any after claim will be null and of no e

effect.

     With respect to goods subject to an ad valorem duty, if the merchaɛt cannot agree with the Chinese officers as to their value, then each party shall call in two or three merchants to examine the goods, and the highest price which shall be offered by any of them shall be as-umed as the value of the said goods.

Duties shall be charged on the net weight, the tare will therefore be deducted. If the French merchant cannot agree with the Chinese officer on the amount of tare, each party shall choose a certain number of chests and bales from among the goods respecting which there is a dispute; these shall be first weighed gross, then tared, and the average tare of these shall be taken as the tare for all the others.

     If during the course of verification any difficulty arises which cannot be settled the French merchant any claim the intervention of the Cousul, who will im diately bring the subjec. of d spute to the notice of the Superintendent of Customs, and both will endeavour to arrive at an amicable arrangem nt, but the claim must be made within twenty four hours; otherwise it will not receive attention. So long as the result of the dispute remains pending, the Superinten leat of Customs shall not enter the matter in his books, thus leaving every latitude for the examination and solution of the difficulty.

     On goo's imported which have sustained damage a reduction of duties propor tionate to their depreciation shall be ma ie. This shall be equitably determined, and, if necessary, in the manuer above stipulated for the fixing of ad valorem duties.

Art. XX.-Any vessel having entered one of the ports of China and which has not yet used the permit to open batches mentioned in Article XIX., may, within two days of arrival, quit this port and proceed to another without having to pay either tonuage dues or customs duties, but will discharge t`em ultimately in the pot where sale of the go ls is effected.

Art. XXI.-It is established by common consent, that import duties shall be discharged by the captains or French merchants after the landing and verification of the goods. Export duties shall in the same manner be paid on the shipment of the goods. When all tonnage dues and Customs duties shall have been paid in full by a French vessel the Superintendent of Custom s'all give a general quit:ance, on the exhibition of which the Consul shall return the ship's papers to the captain, nd permit him to depart on his voyage. The Superintendent of Custons s'all name one or several banks, who shall b› authorised to receive the sum due by Frenca merchants on account of the Government, and the receipt of these banks for all payments which have been made to them s'ali be considered as recipts of the

  Chinese Government. These payments may be made in ingots or in foreign money the relative value of which to sycee shall be determined by agreement between the Consul or Consular agent and the Superintendout of the Customs in the different ports, according to time, place, and circumstances.

    Art. XXII.-*After the exp'ration of the two days vamed in Art. XX., and tefore proceeding to discharge her cargo, every vessels all pay tonnage-dues accord- ing to the following scale:-Vessels of cne hundred and fifty tons and upwards at the rate of four mace per ton; vessels of less than one hundred and fifty tous mea- surement at the rate of one mace per ton.

    Any vessel clearing from any of the open ports of China for any other of the open ports, or trading between Chiva and such ports in Cocbir-China as belong to France, or any port in Japan, sl all be entitled, on application of the master, to a special certificate from the Superintendent of Customs, on exhibition of which the said vessel shall be exempted from all further payment of tornage-dues in any open port of China for a period of four months, to be reckoned from the date of her port-clearance; but after the expiration of four u.onths she shall be required to pay tonnage-dues again.

Small French vessels and boats of every class, whether with or without sails, shall be reckoned as coming within the category of vessels of one hundred and fifty tons and under, and shall pay tonnage dues at the rate of one mace per ton once in every four months.

    Nat ve craft chartered by French merchants shall in like manner pay tonuage- dues once in every four months.

    Art. XXIII-All Freuch goods, after having discharged the Customs duties according to the tariff in one of the ports of China, may be transported into the interior without being subjected to any further charge except the transit dues according to the amended scale now in force, which dues shall not be augmented in the future.

    If the Chinese Customs Agents, contrary to the tenour of the present Treaty, make illegal exactions or levy higher dues, they shall be punished according to the laws of the empire.

    Art. XXIV.-Any French vessel entered at one of the ports open to foreign trade and wishing to discharge only a part of its goods there, shall pay Customs dues only for the part discharged; it may transport the remainder of its cargo to another port and sell it there. The duty shall then be paid.

    French subjects, having pad in one port the duties on their goods, wishing to re-export them and send them for sale to another port, shall noti y the Consul or Consular Agent. The latter shall inform the Superintendent of Customs, who, after baving verified the identity of the goods and the perf et integrity of the packages, shall send to the claimouts a declaration attesting that the duties on the said goods have been paid. Provided with this declaration the French merchants on their arrival at the other port shall only have to present it through the medium of the Consul or Superintendent of Customs, who will deliver for this part of the cargo, without deduction or charge, a permit for discharge free of duty; but if the authorities discover fraud or anything co traband amongst the goods so re-exported, these shall be, after verification, confi-cated to the profit of the Chinese Government.

    Art. XXV. Trat shipment of goods shall take place only by special permission and in case of urgency; if it be indispensable to effect this operation the Consul shall be referred to, who will deliver a certificate, on view of which the transhipment shall be authorised by the Superintendent of Customs. The latter may always delegate an employé of his administration to be present.

    Every unauthorised transhipment, except in case of peril by delay, will entail the coufiscation, to the profit of the Chinese Government, of the whole of the goods illicitly transhipped.

    Art, XXVI.-In each of the ports open to foreign trade the Superintendent of Customs shall receive for himself, and shill deposit at the French Consulate, legal

scales for. goods and silver, the weights and measures agreeing exactly with the weights and measures in use at the Canton Custom-house, and bearing a stamp and seal certifying this authority. These scales shall be the base of all liquidations of duties and of all payments to be made to the Chinese Government. They shall be referred to in case of dispute as to the weights and measures of goods, and the decree shall be according to the results they show.

      Art. XXVII.-Import and export duties levied in China on French commerce shall be regulated according to the tariff annexed to the present treaty under the seal and signature of the respective plenipotentiaries. This tariff may be revised every seven years in order to le in harmony with the changes brought about by time in the value of the products of the soil or industry of the two empires.

By the payment of these duties, the amount of which it is expressly provided shall not be increased nor auguented by any kind of charge or surtax whatever, French subjects shall be free to import into Cuina, from French or foreign ports, and equally to export from China to any destination, all goods which shall not be, at the date of the signing of the present treaty and according to the classification of the annexed tariff, the object of a special prohibition or of a special monopoly. The Chinese Government renouncing therefore the right of augmenting the number of articles reputed contraband or subjects of a monopoly, auy modification of the tariff shall be made only after an understanding has been come to with the French Government and with its full and entire consent.

With regard to the tariff, as well as every stipulation introduced or to be in- troduced in the existing treaties, or those which may bereafter be concluded, it remains well and duly established that merchants and in general all French citizens - in China shall always have the same rights and be treated in the same way as the

most favoured nation.

      Art. XXVIII.-The publication of the regular tariff doing away henceforth with all pretext for smuggling, it is not to be presumed that any act of this nature may be committed by French vessels in the ports of China.

SET OF SPECIAL STIPULATION OF THE SUPPLEMENTARY CONVENTION. In the interest of greater distinctness and completeness it has appeared desirable to complete the Supplementary Convention by a number of special stipulations. The following stipulations must be adhered to by the subjects of the two contracting parties in the same manner as the stipulations of the treaty itself. In witness whereof the Plenipotentiaries of both States have affixed their seals and signatures thereto.

   1. In consequence of the newly granted privileges for the port of Woosung in the Kiangsu province, it is there permitted to German ships to receive and to dis- charge merchandise, which is either intended for Shanghai or come from Shanghai. The Customs Taotai in Shanghai and the other competent officials shall, for this purpose, have the right to prepare regulations for the prevention of duty defrauda- tion and improprieties (irregularities) of all kinds, which shall be binding on the trading communities of both countries. German merchants are not allowed to build landing-places, mercantile houses, or warehouses at the said place.

   2. An attempt to see if entrepôts (bonded warehouses) can be established in the open ports of China shall shortly be made in Shanghai. For this purpose the Com- missioner of Customs at the said place and the Inspector-General of Customs shall forthwith prepare regulations appropriate to the local circumstances, and the establish. ment of this bonded warehouse shall then be taken in hand by the said Commissioner of Customs and his colleagues.

   3.-If any wares on board a German vessel, for whose discharge a written permit of the Custom House is requisite, are not entered on the manifest, the offence (mis- take) of a false mauifest shall thereby be held to be constituted, no matter if a certificate signed by the captain of the receipt on board of these wares is existent or

not.

   4.-If a German ship has become in want of repairs in consequence of damage sustained in one of the open ports in China, or out of the same, the time required for the repairs shall be taken into account for the term at the expiry of which tonnage dues have to be paid; should it appear, however, that only a pretence has been made and that the intention is to evade legal payments to the Customs, the vessel in question shall be subjected to a money fine corresponding to double the amount of the tonnage dues which it was attempted to evade payment.

   5.-Vessels of all kinds belonging to Chinese subjects may not make use of the German flag. If, however, decided grounds for suspicion present themselves that this bas taken place, the Chinese official co. cerned shall address an official communica- tion to the German Consul on the subject, and should it be proved, in the course of

the enquiry instituted by him, that the vessel is, in fact, not justified in flying the German flag, the vessel, as well as the wares on board, so far as they belong to Chinese merchants, shall at once be delivere‹ to t e Chinese officials for their further disposal. Should it be shown that German subjects have knowledge of the circum- stances, all the wares found in the vessel belonging to these concerned in the irregularity, will become liable to confiscation, and they themselves to the legal penalty. If a German vessel flies the Chinese flag in an unauthorised manner, in the event of its being proved on an enquiry conducted by the Chin se officials that the vessel is, in fact, not justified in flying the Chinese flag, the vessel, as well as the wares on board, so far as they belong to German merchants, shall forthwith be surrendered to the German Consul for further disposal anl punishment of the offenders. Should it be shown that German owners of wares have knowledge of the circumstance and bave taken part in this irregularity, the wares belonging to them found on board the vessel will become liable to confiscation by the Chinese officials. Wares belonging to Chinese can at once be confiscated by the Chinese officials.

     6.-If in one of the open ports in China, at the sale of the broken-up materials of a vessel which has become unseaworthy, an attempt is made to include (smuggle in) wares belonging to its cargo, these wares shall be liable to confiscation; and, further, a fine shall be levied corresponding to double the amount of the import duty which would otherwise have been levied.

     7.-If German subjects with foreign wares go into the interior or undertake travels in the interior of the country, the passes or certificates issued to them shall be valid only for thirteen Chinese months reckoned from the date of issue, and may not be used any more after the expiry of this period. The expired passes and certi- ficates must be returned for cancellation to the Customs official within whose official district they were issued.

Note. If a pleasure journey be undertaken in such distant regions that a period of one year does not appear sufficient for its completion, this must be noted on the pass at the time it is issued, by agreement between the Consul and the Chinese official.

Should the return not be made, no pass will again be issued to the concerned until this is done. Should the pass be lost, no matter if it happens within the period, or after expiry of same, the concerned must forthwith place on record a truthful statement about it with the nearest Chinese official. The Cuinese official concerned will then take further steps concerning the invalidation of the pass. Should the statement put on record be shown to be untrue, if the transport of wares is concerned, the wares shall be confiscated, but it a journey is concerned, the traveller shall be taken to the nearest Consul and be handed over to him for punishment.

    8.-Materials for German docks enjoy the privilege of duty free importation into open ports only in so far as they are actually to be applied to the repair of vessels. The Customs official has the right to convince himself of the manner in which these materials are made use of, by the evidence of officials sent to the dock for that pur- pose. In the case of the building of a new vessel, duty will be calculated on the materials used in it, in so far as these are included by name in the import or export tariff, at the tariff rate; on those articles not included in the tariff, at five per cent. ad valorem, and the merchant concerned will be held bound to pay this duty sub- sequently to the Custom House. Any one desiring to build a dock must obtain a cost free concessionary certificate, and sign a written obligation whose contents and wording are to be settled in appropriate form by the Customs office concerned.

     9.-Article 29 of the Treaty of 2nd September, 1861, shall have applica ion to the monetary fines settled by the present Supplementary Convention.

Done in Peking, the 31st day of March in the year of our Lord 1880, corres- ponding with the 21st day of the 2nd moon o: the 6th year of Kuang Sü.

Art. II.- Following the range of hills along the Amoor's course, the long established Chinese frontier posts, and the marks put down in the 6th year of Yung-ching's reign (1728) at Ŝba-peen T-pa-ba, (in the vicinity of Tarbagatai), it is agreed that, where these marks terminate, the West rn boundaries, not yet laid down, shall commence; they shall extend westward to the Lake Tse-sang-cho-urb, from which, after running in a south-westerly dir ction along the Tih mih-urh Too-choo-rh of the Tec-shan range, they shall go southwards to Khokand.

For the placing of the marks along the eastern frontiers the officers appointed shall meet at the mouth of the Usuri in May, 1861; and for similar duty on the western frontiers, officers shall meet at Tarbagatai, but the time of meeting it is unnecessary to fix. The officers appointed for the above work shall act with all fairness and justice; and, as in accordance with the boundaries indicated in the First and Second articles of this convention, they shall make four charts, two of which shall be Russian and two either Manchurian or Chinese, and the said charts having been duly s'gued and sealed by the officers in question, shall be deposited, two (one in Russian and one in Munchurian or Chinese) in Russia, and two (one in Russian and one in Manchurian or Chinese) in China. On the inter- change of these charts, they shall be appended hereto as forming part of this article.

     Art. IV.--At all places along the froutier agreed upon in the Fist article of this convention, Russian and Chinese subjects may hold intercourse at pleasure. There shall not in any case, be duties levied; and all frontier officers shall afford protection to merchants quietly carrying on trade.

     In order to greate precision, the substance of the second article of Gae-hwan (Ay Kom) is hereby again enunciated.

Art. V.-Russian merchants, in addition to trading at Kiachta, may, when passing in the old established manner from Kiachta to Peking, dispose of sundries at Koo-lun and Chang-kia-how. A [Russian] Consul with a limited retinue may be stationed at Koo-lun, he shall himself supervise the buil·ling of a consulate, but the site, the number of buildings, and the land for pasturage of cattle, shall all be determined by the high officers stationed at Koo-lun.

Chinese merchan's, desirous of so doing, are at liberty to repair to Russia, and there carry on tra le.

Russian merchants visiting the Chinese marts shall be under no restrictions, whether as to the time at which they may visit such places or the duration of their stay; but the number of merchants at any one place shall not exceed twɔ hundred. The Russian officers stationed on the frontiers shall supply each party of merchantɛ with a passport, in which shall be specified the name of the chief merchant, the number of people that accompany him, and the place about to be visited by them for trade. The merchants shall themselves provide funds for the expenditure attendant on their business and for the purchase of food an 1 cattle.

Ari. VI. In the establishment of trade, the same regulations shall be applied at Kashgar as at Ili and Tarbagatai. At Kashgar, China agrees to make a grant of land whereon to build residences, warehouses, and churches, in order to suit the convenience of such Russian merchants as may live there; ground shall likewise be granted for burial purposes, and, as at Ili and Tarbagatai, a tract of pasture land for cattle. The bigh officer stationed at Kashgar shall be officially directed to determine the amount of ground to be granted for the purpose, and to make the other requisite arrangements. Should persons from the outside enter the Russian concession at Kashgar, and plunder the property of Russian merchants trading there, China will not take any

action in the matter.

Art. VII.-The merchants of both countries may trade as they please at the various marts, and shall not be subjected to any obstruc ions on the part of the officials; they

may at pleasure frequent the shops and markets for trade and barter, and they may there make ready money payments, or if they trust each other, open credit accounts; and as to the time that the merchants of the one may sojourn in the other country, the only limit shall be the merchants' own pleasure and convenience.

   Art. VIII-Russian merchants in China, and Chinese merchants in Russia, shall receive due protection from the government of the country,

   In order to the due control of merchants, and to provide against inisunderstaud- ings and disputes, Russian Consuls, &c., may be stationed at the various trading marts; and, in addition to those at Ili and Tarbagatai, Consuls shall be appointed for Kashgar and Koo-lun. China is at liberty to station Consuls at St. Petersburg, or at such other places in Russia as she may see fit. Such Consuls, whether Russian or Chinese, shall reside in houses to be built by their government; but they may likewise, without obstruction, rent houses belonging to the people of the places at which they may chance to be stationed.

The Consuls and the local officials shall correspond and hold intercourse on terms of equality, provided for by the second article of the Tientsin Treaty. In matters in which the merchants of both countries are concerned, the officers of the two governments shall take conjoint action; criminals shall be punished in accordance with the laws of their country, as directed by the seventh article of the Tientsin Treaty.

In all cases of disputes originating in the non-payment of money due in mercautile transactions, the parties concerced shall themselves call in arbitrators, the Russian Coi suls and the Chinese local officials shall merely take such action as may tend to bring about an amicable settlement, and shall not in any way be called upon or held responsible for the payment of bad debts.

At the trading marts the merchants may register, at the offices of the Consuls and local authorities, agreements in reference to property and houses. In such cases, should either of the principals refuse to carry out the terms of the registered agreement, the Consuls and officials shall enforce their fulfilment.

In cases other than those arising from mercantile transactions, as quarrels and such like small matters, the Consuls and local officers shall act conjointly in the examina- tion, and shall punish the guilty parties respectively, as under their several jurisdictions. Russians secreting themselves in Chinese houses, or absconding to the interior of China, shall, on the requisition of the Consul, be sought for and sent back by the Chinese authorities; and Russian officials shall act reciprocally in the event of Chinese biding in Russian houses, or escaping to Russian territory.

In such serious cases as murder, robbery, wounding, conspiracy to kill, incen- diarism, &c., &c., the guilty party, if Russian, shall be delivered for punishment to the Russian authorities; if Chinese, he may be punished, as the laws direct, by the Chinese authorities, either at the place where the crime was committed, or at such other place as the Chinese officials may deem proper. In all cases, great or little, the Consuls and local officials shall each deal with their own countrymen; they shall not in an irregular manner arrest, detain, or punish [people not subject to their jurisdiction].

Art. IX. As compared with former years trade is now much increased, and, moreover, new boundaries have been laid down. Thus the condition of affairs differs much from what it was at the times of making the Treaties of Nipchu* and Kiachta, and the supplementary stipulations of succeeding years; and circumstances that gave rise to disputes between the various frontier officers no longer remain the same. Such changes in existing regulations as are necessitated [by the altered state of affairs] are hereby included in newly drawn up stipulations.

   Heretofore official communications treating of frontier business have only passed between the High Official at Koo lun and the Koo-pih-urb-na-to-urh (? the Governor) of Kiachta, and between the Governor-General of Western Siberia and the Tartar General stationed at Ili. For the future, in addition to the officers just named, frontier business may be transacted by the Koo-pih-urh-na-to-urh of the Amoor and Tung-hae-peen (Eastern Sea-shore) provinces in communication with the Tartar General, stationed in Hib-lung-keang and Kee-lin.

      Should cattle stray or be decoyed across the frontier boundaries, the officer of the locality, on being informed of the fact by official communication, shall, without delay, dispatch people to search for them; they shall likewise give full information to the soldiery at the frontier posts, who shall be bound to recover and send back such cattle, whether straying or stolen, in accordance with the numbers reported in the original communication; and who, should they fail to restore the property that is missing, shall be punished, as the laws direct, in a manner proportionate to the value of what is lost. No claim for compensation shall be entertained.

In the event of runaways crossing the frontier, measures shall be taken for their discovery and arrest immediately upon the receipt of an official requisition to that effect; and on the arrest having been effected, the prisoners, with whatever property may be found in their possession, shall be handed over to the nearest frontier officer, whose duty it shall be to ascertain the place from which such persons may have absconded.

The runaways, while on the return journey under arrest, shall be supplied with food, and, if naked, with clothes; and they shall neither be maltreated nor insulted by the soldiers. Runaways arrested prior to the receipt of any such official requisi- tion, shall.also be dealt with in like manner.

      Art. XI.-Answers shall be returned to communications transmitted through intermediate officers by the High Officials on the frontiers. The despatches of the Governor-General of Eastern Siberia and of the Koo-pih-urh-na-to-urh (? Governor) of Kiachta shall be handed to the Ko-me-sa-urh (? Commissioner or Commissary. General) of Kiachta for transmission to the officer of the board. The despatches of the High Officer stationed at Koo-lun shall be banded to the officers of the board for transmission to the Ko-me-sa-urh of Kiachta. The despatches of the Koo-pih、 urh-na-to-url of the Amoor province shall be forwarded to the Tartar General at Hib-lung-keang through the Adjutant General, who shall likewise transmit the despatches of the Kee-lin General. Despatches passing between the Koo-pih-urb-na- to-urh of the Tung-hae-peen province and the General stationed at Kee-lin, shall be transmitted through the officers at the frontier posts of Hongchun in the Usuri territory. Communications between the Governor-General of Western Siberia and the General stationed at Ili, shall be transmitted through the Russian Consul at Ili. Whenever the business in question is of great importance, official messengers shall be employed. The Governor-General of Eastern and Western Siberia and the various Koo-pih-urh-na-to-urb (?Governors of Provincial Districts) together with the High Officer at Koo-lun, and the Tartar General stationed at Hih-lun-keang, Kee-lin, and Ili, in the transmission of official communications, may entrust them to trust- worthy Russian officers.

      Art. XII.-As was stipulated for in the eleventh article of the Tientsin Treaty, the time allowed for the conveyance of official documents and parcels from Kiachta to Peking is herein defined.

   Couriers in charge of letters or parcels between Kiachta and Peking shall call at the Koo-lun Consulate, and deliver to the Consul all letters or parcels to his address, and they shall likewise take charge of whatever despatches or parcels the Consul may hand to them.

   Whenever parcels are despatched from Kiachta or Koo-lun, the High Officer at Koo-lun must be supplied with a list of the same; in like manner, when despatching parcels from Peking, the Foreign Office shall be supplied with a list. Such lists shall specify the number and weights of the packages, as also the date of their being despatched; and on the outside of each package shall be written, in Russian and Manchurian or Chinese characters, its weight, &c.

Merchants forwarding letters and parcels for purposes of trade, if willing to hire porters themselves and to make other arrangements, shall be at liberty to do so; having obtained permission, after the report of the circumstances, from the local authorities, to obviate the [undue] incurring of expense by the Government.

Art. XIII.- Official communications pissing between the Russian Minister for Foreign Affairs and the Chinese Privy Council, or between the Governor-General of Eastern Siberia and the Privy Council or Foreign Office, shall be forwarded by the regular post, and shall be under no restrictions in respect of time; and should any delay or detention be apprehended, in cases of importance, trustworthy Russian Officers may be charged with the speedy conveyance of such despatches.

   As regards the movements of such despatch-bearers, if travelling from Kiachta to Peking, the Ko-me-sa-urb shall notify the officer of the Board on the day preceding their departure. In like manner, if starting from Peking, a day's notice shall be given to the Board of War.

   Art. XIV.

AMENDED TREATY BETWEEN RUSSIA AND CHINA.

SIGNED, IN THE RUSSIAN, CHinese, and French LANGUAGES, AT ST. PETERSBURG, 1881.

Ratified same year.

TRANSLATED FROM THE CHINESE TEXT.

241

His Majesty the Emperor of China and His Majesty the Emperor of Russia, being desirous to bring to a satisfactory conclusion the questions of the frontier and of trade in the interest of the two countries, and in order to preserve friendly rela- tions, for that purpose bave named as their Plenipotentiaries, that is to say:-

His Majesty the Emperor of China, Tseng, Minister Plenipotentiary to Russia, of the First Class of the Second Order of Nobility, Sub-Director of the Grand Court of Revision;

And His Majesty the Emp. ror of Russia, M. Giers, Member of the Council, Minister for Foreign Affairs, and President of the Senate; and M. Butzow, Minister Plenipotentiary to China;

Who, after having communicated to each other their respective full powers, and found them to be in good and due form, have agreed upon and concluded the follow- ing articles:-

     Art. E-His Majesty the Emperor of Russia hereby argees to restore to China the territory of Ili which has been held on behalf of China by Russian troops since the year 1871, whereupon that part in the West of Ili, the boundaries of which are defined in Art. VII. of this Treaty, will become Russian territory.

Art. II. His Majesty the Emperor of China agrees to issue a Decree to the effect that the inhabitants of Ili, whether during the rebellion or after its pacification, will, without distinction of race or creed, be neither tried nor punished for anything they may have done, nor will their property be interfered with; and the Chinese officials will, previous to taking over Ili, issue a proclamation to the inhabitants of Ili in accordance with the terms of the gracious decree of His Majesty the Emperor of China.

Art. III.-The inhabitants of Ili are free either to remain where they are and become Chinese subjects or they may go over to Russian territory; but previous to the rendition of Ili they must be asked distinctly whether they wish to go over to Russia, and a space of one year from the date of the rendition of Ili will be given within which they may go over and take their property with them, and the Chinese offic als will not prevent them.

Art. IV. Russians who have purchased land within the territory of Ili will, after the restoration of Ili, retain their property as before; but those inhabitants of Ili who, at the time of the restoration of that territory, go over to Russia, cannot adduce this article as a law affecting them. Land owned by Russians, with the exception of the allotments granted for trading purposes by Art. XIII. of the Treaty of Commerce signed at Kuldja in the year 1851, will pay the same taxes as land owned by Chinese.

Art. V.-High officers will be deputed by both countries, the one side to hand over, and the other to take over Ili. They will conduct their negotiations in all matters affecting the transfer in accordance with the stipulations of the Treaty in the town of Ili; and the Governor-General of the provinces of Shensi and Kansub, and the Governor-General of Turkestan will decide the manner and order of the negotia- tions to be conducted by the High officers. The Governor-General of Shensi and Kansub will, on receipt of His Majesty the Emperor of China's commands assenting to the Treaty, depute a proper official to carry this information to the Governor- General of Turkestan; and within three months at most after the arrival of this official at Tasbikan the transfer of Ili will be completed.

AMENDED TREATY BETWEEN RUSSIA AND CHINA.

   Art. VI. His Majesty the Emperor of China agrees to pay to Russia the sum of 9,000,000 roubles as an indemnity for the military expenses incurred by Russia in bolding and protecting Ili on behalf of China since the year 1871, and in satisfaction of all claims by Rissian merchants for losses by pillage within Chinese territory, and by Russians whose families have been maltreated; and this sum will be paid in two years from the date of the ratification in the manner laid down in the separate Article attached to this Treaty.

Art. VII.-A tract of country in the West of Ili is ceded to Russia, where those who go over to Russia and are thereby dispossessed of their land in Ili may stile. The boundary line of Chinese Ili and Russian territory will stretch from the Pieh- chên-tao mountains along the course of the Ho êrb-kwo-ssu River to its junction with the Ili River, thence across the Ili River and South to the East of the village of Kwo-li-cha-tê on the Wu-tsung-tao mountains, and from this point South along the old boundary line fixed by the agreement of Ta Chêng in the year 1864.

   Art. VIII.-The boundary line to the last of the Chi-sang Lake fixed in the year 1864 by the agreement of Ta Chêng baving proved unsatisfactory, High officers will be specially deputed by both countries jointly to examine and alter it so that a satisfactory result may be attained. That there may be no doubt what part of the Khassak country belongs to China and what to Russia, the boundary will consist in a straight line drawn from the Kwei Tung mountains across the River Hei-i-êrh-tê- shib to the Sa-wu-êrh range, and the High officers deputed to settle the boundary will fix the new boundary along such straight line which is within the old boundary.

As

   Art. IX. Hitherto no boundary stones have been erected, but with regard to the boundary lines now fixed by Articles VII. and VIII., it will be the duty of the two countries specially to depute officials to erect boundary stones, and the said officials will meet at the place and time agreed upon by the two Governments. to the boundary on the west between the province of Fei-êsh-kan, which is subject to Russia, and Chinese Kashgar, officials will be deputed by both countries to examine it, and they will fix the boundary line between the territories at present actually under the jurisdiction of either country, and they will erect boundary tones thereon.

+

   Art. X.-By previous Treaties, Russia appointed Consuls at Ili, Tarbagatai, Kashgar, and Urga, and it is row agreed that Russian Consuls be appointed at Suchow, otherwise called Kia-yü-kwan, and at Turfan. When trade springs up at Kobdo, Uliasutai, Hami, Urumt'si, and Ku-ch'êng, negotiations will be entered into for the additional appointment of Russian Consuls at these places. It will be the duty of the Russian Consuls at Suchow, otherwise called K'a yü-kwan, and at Turfan, to deal with all matters affecting Russian subjects in the vicinity of these two places. Kia-yü-kwan and Turfan will come under Articles V. and VI. of the Treaty concluded at Peking in the year 1860, whereby permission is granted to erect residences and other buildings, and until Consulates are erected the local authorities will assist the Consuls in leasing temporary residences. Russian Consuls in Monoglia aud in the South and North of the Tien-shan mountains may come and go and forward their correspondence; and by Art. XI., of the Treaty of Tientsin, and Art. XII. of the Treaty of Peking, they may use the Government post stations. The Chinese officials will, on request being made to them by Russian Cousuls, give the necessary dir. ctions. The appointment of a Consul at Turfan, which is not a trading place, will not be considered as a precedent, and will not affect the various places open to trade nor places in the interior of the eighteen provinces and in Manchuria.

   Art. XI.-Russian Consuls resident in China, when they have important official business to transact which calls for immediate s ttlement, will correspond officially with the local and other high authorities, and the officials of the two countries will in their p rsonal interviews treat each other with that courtesy which becomes the officials o friendly powers. Should trouble arise between traders of the two countries in China, the Consul and the local authority will jointly deal with the matter. In disputes connected with trade both sides may produce witnesses and appoint arbitrators; but should such arbitration prove unsucces-ful, the officials of the two countries will jointly deal with the case. In settling for goods and the

import of goods, and in lea-ing shops and houses where the subjects of the two countries are concerned, contracts will be drawn up and laid before the Consul and the local authority, who will sign and seal the same in proof of such contract; and should the subjects of the two countries fail to draw up contracts the Consul and the local authority will take steps to compel them so to do.

Art. XII.-Russians may trade in Mongolia and with the Mongolian tribes (whether or not there are Chinese officials stationed there) without paying duty, as formerly; and they may trade at Ili, Tarbagatai, Kashgar, and Urumt'si, and at the various towns to the North and South of the Tien-shan, without paying duty for the time being; but when trade springs up a fixed tariff will be drawn up and agreed upon by the two countries and the du'y-free rate will be abolished. At the various places in China mentioned above, where Russians may trade in foreign and other merchandise, the system of ready money or barter may be employed; and Russians may also pay their debts with various kinds of goods.

Art. XIII. At the places at which Russian Consuls are to be appointed and at Kalgan Russians may build shop, houses, and godowns, whether they themselves purchase the land or it is granted to them by the local authorities for building purposes in accordance with Art III. of the Rules drawn up in the year 1851 for the regula tion of trade at Ili and Tarbagatai. But this concession, allowing Russians to build shops, houses, and godowns at Kalgan, where there is no Consul, shall not be adduced as a precedent with regard to other places in the interior.

     Art. XIV. Russian merchants conveying gods overland into the interior of China for purposes of trade may, as formerly, pass through Kalgan and Tungchow to Tientsin, whence the goods may be exported to other ports. They may also dispose of their goods at the above-mentioned places in the interior. Russian merchants may convey overland to Russia by the same route goods purchased at the above-mentioned towns and trading places, and in the interior. Russian merchants may also proceed to Suchow (Kia-yü-kwan) for purposes of trade, but their caravans will stop there. The same facilities will be granted as at Tientsin.

     Art. XV.-Ru: sians in the interior of China and beyond the Wall engaged in the overland trade will abide by the Regulations attached to this Treaty. The Articles relating to trade contained in this Treaty and the Overland Trade Regulations attached thereto may be revised after a lapse of ten years from the da'e of the ratification; but if notice is not given within a period of six months before the expiration of the ten years of the modifications desired, they will remain in force for a further period of ten years. Russian merchants trading on the seaboard of China will abide by the regulations affecting other countries; and should it afterwards be found necessary to revise and modify such regulations, negotiations will be entered into for that purpose between the two countries.

     Art. XVI.-When the Russian overland trade becomes prosperous, the two contracting Powers will agree upon and fix a tariff of duties on goods exported from and imported into China, which will prove even still more satisfactory than the present tariff. Generally speaking, the duty on imports and exports will be fixed at the rate of five per cent. ad valorem. Until the tariff of duties is fixed, the export duty on the various second class teas, which at present pay the same duty as teas of the first class, will be reduced; and within one year after the ratification of this Treaty the Tsung-li Yamên and the Russian Minister at Peking will jointly discuss and agree upon the duties to be paid on teas of all kinds.

     Art. XVII.-As disputes have arisen with reference to the construction to be put upon Art. X. of the Treaty concluded at Peking in the year 1880, the meaning thereof is distinctly stated in this Article. The meaning of the words, "the cattle shall be sought for and returned," is that when cattle have been stolen and carried off, the cattle will, as soon as the robber is arrested, be sought for and returned; and should the cattle stolen not be found, the robber will have to pay their value as compensation. Should, however, the robber not have the means of making good the loss, the local authorities will not make it good on his behalf. The frontier authorities will, in accordance with the laws of their respective countries, punish severely robbers

of cattle. They will also take measures for the pursuit and return of fugitives and stolen cattle; and descriptions thereof shall be communicated by them to the soldiers on the frontier and to the beadmen of the country round about.

   Art. XVIII.-By the Treaty concluded at Aighoun on the 16th day of May, 1858, permission is given to Chinese and Russian subjects on the Amoor, the Sungari, and the Usuri to trade with the people living on the banks of these rivers. As a clearer statement should be made as to how this may be carried out, the two Powers shall take the matter into consideration and decide thereupon.

   Art. XIX.-The Article of Treaties previously concluded between the two con- tracting Powers not affected by the present Treaty shall still remain in force.

   Art. XX. When assent has been given to this Treaty by the respective Powers, it shall be published for general information and obedience, and the ratifications thereof shall be exchanged at St. Petersburg in six months from the date of signature.

This treaty is executed in dupl cate in the Russian, Chinese, and French lan- guages, and is signed and sealed by the Plenipoten.iarics of the respective Powers. The three versions have been compared and found to have the same m-auing; and in case of dispute the French version shall rule.

SEPARATE ARTICLE.

   By Art. VI. of the Treaty now concluded by the Plenipotentiaries of the two Powers, China will complete in two years the payment to Russia of a sum of 9,000,000 roubles as an indemnity for the military expenditure incurred in holding and pro- tecting Ili by Russian troops on behalf of China, and in satisfaction of the claims of Russian subjects, and the Plenipotentiaries have agreed that this sum shall be paid in the following manner :-

The said sum of 9,000,000 roubles, equivalent to £1,431,664 2. sterling shall be cleared off by six instalments. At each payment (and the expense of remitting need not be borne by China) China shall haud over to the Bank of Messrs. Baring Brothers (?) in the city of London the sum of £238,610 13s. 8d. sterling, one payment to be made every four months and two years respectively from the ratification of the Treaty.

   This separate Article differs in no respect from the terms of the Treaty now concluded, in witness whereof the respective Plenipotentiaries have bereunto set their hands and seals.

In such cases the local authoriti s will observe towards Chinese subjects the same rules as towards other foreigue:s and will communicate to the Consul of China the decision they have taken.

The Articles agreed upon are as follow:-

     Art. I.t-Relations of amity shall henceforth be maintained in redoubled force between China and Japan, in masure as boundless as the heaven and the earth. In all that regards the teritorial possessions of either country the two Governments shall treat each the other with proper courtes,, without the slightest infringement or encroachment on either side, to the end that there may be for everinore peace between them undisturbed.

Art. II.-Friendly intercourse thus existing between the two Governments, it is the duty of each to sympathize with the other, an 1 in the event of any other nation acting unjustly or treating either of the two Powers with contempt, on notice being given [by the one to the other], mutual as istance shall be rendered, or media:ion offered for the arrangement of the difficulty, in fulfilment of the duty imposed by relations of friendship.

permanently or from time to time. Their travelling expenses, as they pass through the country, will be defrayed by themselves. In the matter of their hiring ground or buildings to serve as legations, of the passage of their baggage to and fro, of the conveyance of their correspondence by special couriers, and the like, due assistance shall be rendered on either side.

    Art. V. Although the functionaries of the two Governments have fixed grades, the nature of the offices conferred are different on either side. Officers of equivalent rak will meet and correspond with each other on a footing of equality. When an officer visits a superior, the intercourse between them will be such as is prescrived by the rites of hospitality. For the transaction of public business, the officials of the two countries will address communications to officers of their own rank, who will report in turn to their superiors. They will not address the superior officer duectly. In visits, cards with the official title of the visitor shall be sent on either side. All officials sent on the part of either Government to the other shall present for inspection a letter bearing an official stamp, in order to guard against fals personation.

Art. VI. In official correspondence, China will use the Chinese language, and Japan will either use the Japanese language accompanied by a Chiuese version, or a Chinese version alone, as may be found ou her side preferable.

    Art. VII.-Friendly intercourse having been established between the two Governments, it will bebove them both to appoint certain ports on the seaboard which their merchants will be authorized to frequent for purposes of trade, and to lay down separately regulations of trade, that their respective mercantile communities may abide by in perpetuity.

    Art. VIII.-At the ports appointed in the territory of either Government, it will be competent for the other to station Consuls for the control of its own merchant community. All suits in which they (the Consul's nationals) are the only parties, the matter in dispute being money or property, it will fall to the Consul to adjudicate according to the law of his own state. In mixed suits, the plaint having been laid before the Consul, he will endeavour, in the first instance, to prevent litigation by friendly counsel. It this be not possible, he will write officially to the local authority, and in concert with Lim will fairly try the case and decide it. Where acts of theft or robbery are committed, and where debtors abscond, the local authorities can do no more than make search for and apprehend the guilty parties. Tuey shall not be held liable to make compensation.

Art. IX.-At any of the ports appointed, at which no Consul shall have been stationed, the control and care of the traders resorting thither shall devolve on the local authorities. I. case of the commission of any act of crime, the guilty party shall be apprebended, and the particulars of his offence communicated to the Consul at the nearest port, by whom be shall be tried and punished according to law.

Art X.-At the ports nam d in either country, the officials and people of the other shall be at liberty to engage natives for service, or as artisans, or to alteud to commercial business. The persons so engaged shall be kept in order by the person so engaging them, who shall not allow them to perpetrate acts of fraud under any pretext. Still less shall he give rise to cause of complaint by giving ear to s'atements advanced from illicit motives. In the case of any offence being committed by any person employed in the manner above mentioned, the local authority shall be at liberty to apprehend and punish the delinquent. The employer shall not favour or protect him.

*

Art. XI. Whereas it is the duty of the subjects of either Power residing at the ports declared open in either country to live on friendly terms with the native inha- bitants, it is provided that they shall not be allowed to wear arms. Infraction of this rule will be punishable by a fine, accompanied by the confiscation of the arms. Residents as aforesaid shall attend peaceably to their own avocations, and whether residing permanently or for the time being at a port, they shall submit to the autho- rity of their Consul. They shall not be allowed to adopt the costume of the country

In the event of the occurrence taking place in the interior, so far from the port that the Consul cannot arrive in time for the inquest, the local authority shall communicate a report of the facts of the case to the Consul.

When arrested and brought up for trial, the offender, if at a port, shall be tried by the local authority and the Consul together. In the interior he shall he tried and dealt with by the local authority, who will officially communicate the facts of the case to the Consul.

If subjects of either Power shall assemble to the number of ten or more to foment disorder and commit excesses in the dominions of the other, or shall induce subjects of the other therein to conspire with them for the doing of injury to the other Power, the authorities of the latter shall be free at once to arrest them.

Art. XIV.-Vessels of war of either Power shall be at liberty to frequent the ports of the other for the protection o. the subjects of their own country, but they shall in no case enter ports not declared open by treaty, nor rivers, lakes, and streams in the interior.

Art. XVI.-No Consul of either Power shall be allowed to trade, or to act as Consul for a Power not in Treaty relations with the other. In the case of any Consul so acting as to render himselt generally unacceptable, on substantial proof to this effect being produed, it shall be competent for the Government interested to communicate officially with the Minister Plenipotentiary, who, when he shall have ascertained the truth, shall remove the Corsul, in order that the friendly relations of the two Governments may not suffer detriment through the misconduct of a single individual.

If any owner or importer discovers that his goods have been damaged on the voyage or importation before such goods have been delivered to him, he may notify the Custom-house authorities of such damage, and he may have the damaged goods appraised by two or more competent and disinterest d persons, who, after due examination, shall make a certification, setting forth the amount per cent. of damage on each separate package, describing it by its mark and number, which certificate shall be signed by the appraisers, in presence of the Custom-house authorities, and the importer may attach the certificate to his entry, and make a corresponding deduction from it. But this shall not prevent the Custom-house authorities from appraising the goods in the manner provided in Article XV. of the Treaty, to which these Regulations are appended.

   After the duties have been paid, the owner shall receive a permit, authorizing the delivery t› him of the goods, whether the same are at the Custom-house or on ship-board.

All goods intended to be exported shall be entered at the Japanese Custom- house before they are placed on ship-board. The entry shall be in writing, and shall state the name of the ship by which the goods are to be exported, with the mark and number of the packages, and the quantity, description, and value of their contents. The exporter shall certify, in writing, that the entry is a true account of all goods contained therein, and shall sign his name thereto.

All goods that are put on board of a ship for exportation before they have been entered at the Custom-house, and all packages which contain prohibited articles, shall be forfeited to the Japanese Government.

No entry at the Custom-house shall be required for supplies for the use of the ships, their crews, and passengers, nor for the clothing, &c., of passengers.

REGULATION IV. Ships wishing to clear shall give twenty-four hours' notice at the Custom-house, and at the end of that time they shall be entitled to their clearance, but if it be refused, the Custom-house authorities shall immediately inform the captain or consignee of the s ip of the reason why the clearance is refused; and they shall also give the same notice to the British Consul.

British ships of war shall not be required to enter or clear at the Custom-house, nor shall they be visited by Japanese Custom-house or police officers.

Steamers conveying the mails from Great Britain may enter and clear on the same day, and they shall not be required to make a manifest, except for such passengers and goods as are to be landed in Japan. But such steamers shall, in all cases, enter and clear at the Custom-house.

CONVENTION BETWEEN GREAT BRITAIN, FRANCE, THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AND HOLLAND, WITH JAPAN.

SIGNED, IN THE ENGLISH, French, Dutch, AND JAPANESE Languages, at Tokio, 25TH JUNE, 1866.

   The Representatives of Great Britain, France, the United States of America, and Holland, having received from their respective Governments identical instuctions for the modification of the Tariff of Import and Export duties contained in the Trade Regulations annexed to the Treaties concluded by the aforesaid Powers with the Japanese Govenment in 1868, which modification is provided for by the Seventh of those Regulations :---

And the Japanese Government having given the said Representatives, during their visit to Osaka, in November, 1865, a written engagement to procred immediately to the Revision of the Tariff in question, on the general basis of a duty of five per cent. on the value of all articles Imported or Exported :-

   And the Government of Japan being desirous of affording a fresh proof of their wish to promote trade, and to cement the fri ndly relations which exist between their country and foreign nations:-

His Excellency Midzuno Idzumi no Kami, a member of the Gorojin and a Minister of Foreign Affaits, has been furnished by the Government of Japan with the necessary powers to conclude with the Representatives of the above-named four Powers, that is to say:

Of Great Britain,

Sir Harry S. Parkes, Knight Commander of the Most Honourable Order of the Bath, Her Britannic Majesty's Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary in Japan;

Of France,

Monsieur Leon Roches, Commander of the Imperial Order of the Legion of Hon- our, Minister Plenipotentiary of His Majesty the Emperor of the French in Japan;

Of the United States of America,

A. L. C. Portman, Esquire, Cbargé d'Affaires ad interim ;

And of Holland.

   Monsieur Dirk de Graeff van Polsbroek, Knight of the Order of the Netherlands Lion, Political Agent and Consul-General of His Majesty the King of the Netherlands;

The following Convention, comprising Twelve Articles.

Art. 1.-The contracting parties declare in the names of their respective Governments that they accept, and they hereby do formally accept, as binding upon the subjects of their respective Sovereigns, and the citizens of their respective countries, the Tariff hereby established annexed to the present convention.

   This Tariff is substituted not only for the original Tariff attached to the Treaties concluded with the above-named four Powers, but also for the special Conventions and arrangements relative to the same Tariff, which have been entered into at different dates up to this time between the Governments of Great Britain, France, and the United States on the one side, and the Japanese Government on the other.

The New Tariff shall come into effect in the Port of Kanagawa (Yokohama), on the first day of July next, and in the ports of Nagasaki and Hakodate on the first day of the following month.

Art. II. The Tariff attached to this conv ution being incorporated from the date of its signature in the Treaties concluded between Japan and the above-named four Powers, is subjects to revision on the first day of July, 1872.

   Two years, however, after the siguing of the present convention, any of the contracting parties, on giving six months' notice to the others, may claim a re-adjust- ment of the duties on Tea and Silk, on the basis of five per cent. on the average value of these articles, during the three years last preceding. On the demand also of any of the contacting parties, the duty on timber may be changed from an ad valorem to a specific rate six months after the signature of this convention.

CONVENTION BETWEEN THE TREATY POWERS AND JAPAN.

277

      Art. III.-The permit fee hitherto levied under the Seventh Regulation attached to the above-named Treaties is hereby abolished. Permits for the landing or ship- ment of cargo will be required as formerly, but will hereafter be issued free of charge.

Art. IV. On and from the first day of July next, at the Port of Kanagawa (Yokohama), and on and from the first day of October next, at the Ports of Nagasaki and Hakodate, the Japanese Government will be prepared to warehouse imported goods on the application of the importer or owner, without payment of duty. The Japanese Government will be responsible for the safe custody of the goods so long as they remain in their charge, and will adopt all the precautions necessary to render them insurable against fire. When the importer or the owner wishes to remove the goods from the warehouses, he must pay the duties fixed by the Tariff, but if he should wish to re-export them, he may do so without payment of duty. Storage charges will in either case be paid on delivery of the goods. The amount of these charges, together with the regulations necessary for the management of the said warehouses, will be established by the common consent of the contracting parties.

Art. V. All articles of Japanese production may be conveyed from any place in Japan to any of the Ports open to foreign trade, free of any tax or transit duty other than the usual tolls levied equally ou all traffic for the maintenance of roads or navigation.

       Art. VI.-Ia conformity with those articles of the Treaties concluded between Japan and Foreign Powers which stipulate for the circulation of foreign coin at its corresponding weight in native coin of the same description, dollars have hitherto been received at the Japanese Custom-house in payment of duties at their weight in Boos (commonly called Ichiboos), that is to say, a rate of three hundred and eleven Boos per hundred dollars. The Japanese Government being, however, desirous to alter this practice, and to abstain from all interference in the exchange of native for foreign coin, and being also anxious to meet the wants both of native and foreign · commerce by securing an adequate issue of native coin, have already determined to enlarge the Japanese Mint, so as to admit of the Japanese Government exchanging into native coin of the same intrinsic value, less only the cost of coinage, at places named for this purpose, all foreign coin or bullion, in gold or silver, that may at any time be tendered to them by foreigners or Japanese. It being essential, however, to the execution of this measure, that the various Powers with whom Japan has concluded Treaties should first consent to modify the stipulations in those Treaties which relate to the currency, the Japanese Government will at once propose to those Powers the adoption of the necessary modification in the said stipulations, and on rece ving their concurrence will be prepared from the first of January, 1868, to carry the above measure into effect.

The rate to be charged as the cost of coinage -hall be determined hereafter by the common consent of the contracting parties.

      Art. VII. In order to put a stop to certain abuses and inconveniences complained of at the open Ports, relative to the transaction of business at the Custom-house, the landing and shipping of cargoes and the hiring of boats, colies, servants, &c., the contracting parties have agreed that the Governor at each open port shall at once enter into negotiations with the foreign Consuls with a view to the establishment, by mutual consent, of such regulations as shall effectually put an end to those abuses and inconveniences, and afford all possible facility and security both to the operations of trade and to the transactious of individuals.

It is hereby stipulated that in order to protect merchandise from exposure to weather, these regulations shall include the covering in at each port of one or more of the landing places used by foreigners for landing or shipping cargo.

Art. VIII.-Any Japanese subject shall be free to purchase, either in the open Ports of Japan or abroad, every description of sailing or steam vessel intended to carry either passengers or cargo; but ships-of-war may only be obtained under the authorization of the Japanese Government.

All foreign vessels purchased by Japanese subjects shall be registered as Japanese vessels on payment of a fixed duty of three Boos per ton for steamers, and one Boo

per ton for sailing vessels. The to: nage of each vessel shall be proved by the foreign register of the ship, which shall be exhibited through the Consul of the party interested, on the demand of the Japanese authorities, and shall be certified by the Consul as authentic.

Art. IX. In conformity with the Treaties conclu led between Japan and the aforesaid Powers, and with the special arran, ements made by the Envoys of the Japanese Government in their note to the British Government of the sixth of June, 1862, and in their note to the French Government of the sixth of Octob、r of the same year, all the restrictions ou trade and intercourse between foreigners and Japanese, alluded to in the said notes, have been entirely removed, and proclamations to this effect have already been published by the Government of Japan.

The latter, however, do not hesitate to dec'are that Japanese merchants and traders of all classes are at liberty to trade directly, and without the interference of Government officers, with foreign merchants, not only at the open ports of Japan, but also in all Foreign countries on being authorized to leave their country in the manner provided for in Article X. of the present convention, without being subject to higher taxation by the Japanese Government than that levied on the native trading classes of Japan in their ordinary transactions with each other.

And they further declare that all Daimios, or persons in the employ of Daimios, are free to visit, on the same conditions, any foreign country, as well as all the open ports of Japan, and to trade there with foreigners as they please, without the in- terference of any Japanese officer, provided always they subunit to the existing Police regulations and to the payment of the established duties.

Art. X.-All Japanese subjects may ship goods to or from any open Port in Japan, or to and from the Ports of any Foreign Power, either in vessels owned by Japanese, or in the vessels of any nation having a Treaty with Japan. Furthermore, on being provided with passports through the proper Department of the Government in the manner specified in the Proclamation of the Japanese Government, dated the twenty-third day of May, 1866, all Japanese subjects may travel to any foreign country for purposes of study or trade. They may also accept employment in any capacity on board the vessels of any nation having a Treaty with Japan.

Japanese in the employ of foreigners may obtain Government passports to go abroad on application to the Governor of any open Port.

Art. XI.-The Government of Japan will provide all the Ports open to Foreign trade with such lights, buoys, or beacons as may be necessary to render secure the navigation of the approaches to the said Ports.

Art. XII.-The undersigned being of opinion that it is unnecessary that this Convention should be submitted to their respective Governments for ratification, before it comes into operation, it will take effect on and from the first day of July, one thousand eight hundred and sixty-six.

Each of the Contracting Parties having obtained the approval of his Government to this Convention, shall make known the same to the others, and the communication in writing of this approval shall take the place of a formal exchange of ratifications. In witness whereof the above-named Plenipotentiaries have signed the present Convention, and have affixed thereto their seals.

Done at Tokio, in the English, French, Dutch, and Japanese languages, this twenty-fifth day of June, one thousand eight hundred and sixty-six.

But with the exception of this limitation, British residents in Siam n ay at any time buy or rent houses, lands, or plantations, situated anywhere within a distance of twenty-four hours' journey from the city of Bangkok, to be computed by the rate at which boats of the coun' ry can travel. In order to obtain possession of such land or houses, it will be necessary that the British subject shall, in the first place, make application through the Consul to the prop r Siamese officers; and the Consul having satisfied him-elf of the honest intentions of the applicant, will assist him in settling, upon equitable terms, the amount of the purchase money, will mark out and fix the boundaries of the property, and will convey the same to the British purchasers under sealed deeds. Whereupon he and his property shall be placed und· r the protection of the Governor of the district and that of the particular local authorities; be shall conform, in ordinary matters, to any just directions given him by them, and will be subject to the same taxation that is levied on Siamese subjects. But if through negligence, and want of capital or other cause, a British subject should fail to commence the cultivation or improvement of the lands so acquired within a term of three years from the date of receiving possession thereof, the Siamese Government shall have the power of resuming the property, upon returning to the British subject the purchase-money paid by him for the same.

They shall not go out to sea, nor proceed beyond the limits assigned by this treaty for the residence of British subjects, without a passport from the Siamese authorities, to be applied for by the British Consul; nor shall they leave Siam, if the Siamese authorities show to the British Consul that legitimate objections exist to their quitting the country. But within the limits appointed under the preceding article, British subjects are at liberty to travel to and fro under protection of a pass, to be furnished them by the British Consul and counter-sealed by the proper Siamese officer, stati g, in the Siamese character, their names, calling, and description. The Siamese officers at the Government stations in the interior may, at any time, call for the production of this pass, and immediat ly on its being exhibited, they must allow the parties to proceed: but it will be their duty to detain those persons who, by travelling with us a pass from the Consul, render themselves liable to the suspicion of their being deserters; and such detention shall be immediately reported to the Consul.

Art. VI.-All British subjects visiting or residing in Siam, shall be allowed the free exercise of the Christian religion and liberty to build churches in such localities as shall be consented to by the Siamese authorities. The Siamese Government will place no restrictions upon the employment by the English of Sam se subjects as servants, or in any other capacity. But when ver a Siamese subject belongs to or owes service to some particular master, the servant, who engages himself to a British subject without the consent of his master, may be reclaimed by him; and the Siamese Government will not enforce an agreement between a British subject and any Siamese in his employ, unless made with the knowledge and consent of the master, who has a right to dispose of the services of the person engaged.

And when she shall have arrived up the river, within the precincts of the town, ber master shall first report himself to the Harbour-master, who will direct him to a berth for his vessel, which direction he must follow. She shall be moored by two anchors, one for the flood, and the other for the ebb tide, and rig her jib-boom in.

    Masters of vessels are prohibited from quitting the place of anchorage which has been assigned to them, without having first obtained the sanction of the Harbour- master. Every infraction will be punished by a fine.

The Line of Mooring.

     III.-The Harbour-master shall direct the masters of vessels not to moor their vessels very near the shore. The vessels sha¦l Le so moored as that they will not be liable to swing round and strike any floating hou-e. They shall not be moored at the mouth of any canal, but shall be arranged in a line up and down the river. Masters of vessels are hereby forbilden to fasten their cable to the shore, so as to form obstructions to the passage of boats near the shore.

Collision and Sinking of Vessels.

IV. If vessels come into collision with one another, and are injured, and persons lose their lives by the accident, and property be lost, or damaged to whatever amount, report must be made of it to the Harbour master, who will then examine the matter, and report to the proper authority, who will adjudicate the case.

If a vessel coming in or going cut shall spring a leak, and sink in the channel of the river, the master of the same sball employ men to remove that obstruction. But should be not do this, the Harbour-master shall cause it to be done, and whatever be the cost of that work it shall be paid by the master of the said vessel.

Liabilities of Vessels not properly Moored.

V.-If the master of any vessel do not abide by the 2nd and 3rd articles as above stated, and a large vessel dropping down or coming up the river shall run against such a vessel and injure her, damages may not be claimed from the vessel thus causing the injury.

    If a small vessel shall run against a vessel not properly moored, and the small vessel be sunk thereby, and property damaged or lost, to whatever amount, the master of the large vessel shall pay the value of all property lost or damaged and pay a fine of one hundred and sixty ticals, because he did not take care to follow the directions given in articles 2nd and 3rd.

All cases of this class that exist at the present time, or that may arise in the future, and the person required thereby to pay damages shall bave any doubt as to the true worth of the property damaged or lost, the owner of the said property shall under oath, administer d according to the cu-to'n of his own religion, afford satisfac- tory evidence that the property lost was of the value claimed.

In all cases where a fine is imposed on masters of vessels for carelessness of the kind above stated, the money thus obtained shall become the property of the Government.

Cable and Ropes connecting with the Shore.

      Art. VI.-If a master of a vessel shall remove from his berth and moor close in shore for the purpose of receiving merchandise, or for any ot er advantage, and shall in the day time fasten ropes to the land to bring her in to shore, it shall not be unlawful. But the ropes must not be thus engaged in the night time.

     If a vessel shall remove from her berth to receive merchandise, and be fastened close to a wharf, one or two abreast of each other, but not so that the way for the passing of boats outside shall be obstructed-or small put into shore to cast out ballast, or do anything else, and the vessel be in close contact with the shore or wharf, and there be left no passage for boats betweer. her and the shore, ropes may in such cases be extended from her to the sh re, for the purpose of retaining her place.

The Royal Barges, sea's of either the first or second king, are allowed to be moored in front of the royal palaces; and although their cables and ropes be made fast to the shore, it shall not be unlawful, because they are near the seats of the kings on the bank of the river, it not being suitable that any persons besides those engaged. in royal service should come near to them.

LAWS CONCERNING SIAMESE AND FOREIGN VESSELS.

    If any one attempt to pass between the said Barges and the Royal seats on the river's bank, and run against their cables, or ropes, and the boat be capsized, all damages thus resulting shall be suffered by the owner of the boat, because the act had een forbidden. There are only two snch places, viz.: one in front of the First King's Palace, and one iu ronꞌ of the Second King's Palace. Again, masters of boats in the canals, laden with goods coming out to moor in the river with the view to sell their merchandise, if they wish to anchor near the shore may do so, provided they leave an open passage between their boats and the shore sufficient for small boats to pass.

According to Article IV., if a small boat get entangle in the ropes or chains of vessels, by which they are held in their proper places according to those laws, or run against a vessel thus orderly moored, and be capsized, and property be lost by the accident in whatever way, the owner of the boat capsized shall not claim any damages. Respect to be paid to the Kings when passing.

    VII.-If either of their Majesties the Kings of Siam desire to pass on the river, and a vessel riding at anchor shall in any wise interrupt the way, and the Harbour- master or other officer in charge shall order said vessel to move out of the way, then the master of the vessel shall be bound to obey that order within the space of three hours.

And concerning all vessels of commerce lying at anchor in the river, whenever the Royal Barges bearing either of their Majesties the Kings of Sam shall appro.ch near them, it is requested that their colours be drawn up to bestow a Royal salute according to custom. And the people who may be on board these vessels at the time can at their pleasure either retire out of sight of the King as he passes, or come out and salute him, according to the custom of the country and the language to which they belong. But let them not walk back and forth, or get up and sit down on the bulwarks with their feet dangling down the sides of the vessels, or go up the mast, or perform work thereon at the time, because this would be regarded by the Siamese as an insult offered to the King.

     If such offence be committed, or the v. ssel fail to be removed out of the King's way, and she be one belonging to the kingdom of Siam, the Siamese officer in charge shall inflict the punishment due. But if the vessel be a merchant vessel belonging to a foreign port, cming under the jurisdiction of either of the Consuls, complaint of the same shall be made to the Consul.

Collision of Vessels.

VIII. In case a large vessel, coming up or going down the river, runs into another vessel, or into a floating house, or any building that is orderly moored, and damage property, the master of said vessel shall cause to be made a due estimate of the damage done, and pay it, be the same little or much. But if the vessel which did the damage be herself injured to whatever amount, she shall not claim any damages of the vessel, or floating house, or other float by which she was thus damaged, because she herself alone ran into the other.

Again, steamboats in Siam, which are to be matty in the future, when they come or go with or against the tide, shall not pass near the shore, but between the lines of large vessels a: anchor. The reason of this law is, that steamboats have great power and speed, so that small craft will be likely not to have time to get out of their way.

If the merchant cannot agree with the Annamese employé as to the amount of tare, each party shall select a certain number of the bales or cases, and the one on which there is the least tare shall be taken as fixing the amount of tare on the others.

When the tonnage and customs dues payable by a vessel shall have been entirely paid, the Chief of Customs shall give a general clearance, on the exhibition of which the Consul shall return the ship's papers to the captain and allow him to leave.

It shall, however, if the captain consent, be lawful for the Customs administra- tion (in order to facilitate the opera1ions of trade) to calculate the dues according to the bills of lading without its being necessary to discharge the goods in order to ascertain their value and quantity.

Art. XX. After the expiration of the two days mentioned in Art. XVIII., and before proceeding to discharge, each merchant vessel shall pay entirely the light and anchorage dues fixed by Article III. No other due, fee, or surcharge shall be required under any pretext.

    Art. XXII.-No transhipment of goods can take place except under special permit and in case of urgency. If the operation be indispensable it must be referred to the Consul, who will deliver a certificate, on view of which the transhipment will be authorised by the Chief of Customs. The latter may always delegate an employé of his administration to assist in it.

Every unauthorised transhipment, except in cases where there may be peril in delay, shall entail the confiscation to the profit of the Custom-house of the whole of the goods illicitly transhipped.

XXIII.-In each of the ports open to foreign trade the Chief of the Customs shall receive for himself and shall deposit at the French Consulate legal balances for goods and for money, in order that the weights and m ́asures may exactly conform to the weights and measures in use in Annam, and they shall bear a stamp and seal attesting this conformity. These standards shall be the base of all liquidations of dues and payments to be made. They shall be referred to in case of dispute as to the weights or measure of goods, and the dispute shall be sttled according to the results which they show.

Art. XXIV. All merchandise imported or exported in a contraband manner by foreign ships or merchants, whatso ver may be their value and nature, as also every prohibited commodity fraudulently discharged, shall be seized by the local authority and confiscate 1. The Annamese Government may also, if it thinks proper, interdict the vessel taken in contravention of this from entering its ports ad compel it to leave immediately after settlement of its accounts. If any foreign vessel shall fraudulently sail under a flag to which it is not entitled the French authorities shall take the necessary measures for the repression of this abuse.

The total proceeds of the sale of confiscated articles shall go to the Custom- house. The results of fines for contravention of the Customs regulations in the open ports shall also go to the Cus'om-house.

Art. XXV.-His Excelency the President of the French Republic may station a sbip of war in the open ports of the Empire where its presence may be judged necessary to maintain good order and discipline among the crews of merchant vessels and to facilitate the exercise of the Consular authority.

Art. XXVI.-Every French ship of war cruising for the protecti n of trade shall be received and treatel as a friend in all the ports of Annam where it may present itself. These ships my procure there the divers objects of refitin ›nt and revictualling which they may need, and if they have met with da nago may repair, and to this end purchase the necessary materials, the whole without the last opposi- tion.

The same shall apply to trading vessels, French or foreign, which, in consequence of serious damages or for other cause, are compelled to se k refuge in a y port of Annam. But these vessels shall remain only te nporarily, and as soon as the cause of their distress shall have ceased, they shall set sail and shall not ballowed to pro- long their stay nor to tra le.

He shall then acquaint the nearest Consul or Consular Agent with the disaster, in order that the latter, in concert with the competent authorities, may arrange means for assisting the crew and saving the remains of the cargo.

The port of Thuan-an, or account of its situation on a river leading to the capital and its proximity to the capital, shall be an exception, and no foreign ship-of-war or trading vessel may enter it

The flood tide, when regular (which is seldom), runs round Cabreta Point towards the town of Macao; but a little outside of the Point it sets along the land to the north, across the bay, until it meets the tide from Capsing-moon (or Capshui-moon, "the swift water passage"), above Lintin, when it flows in a direct channel towards the Bogue. The velocity of the flood tide in Mano Roads is about 2 miles in the north- east monsoon and moderate weather; but when it blows strong from the northward there is no apparent flood. The ebb then runs at the rate of 3 to 31, and 4 miles when the water is falling by the land. The ebb tide sets out from the town of Macao much in the same way as the flood comes in, with the difference of running a little more to the westward along the shore, before it takes the southerly direction; the latter part of this tide is therefore the best time for boats to start for Liutin or Canton, with a contrary wind, as they then get out far enough to have all the flood to work to the northward with.

    The tides at Lintin run north aud south, or nearly so. The velocity of the cbb in the north-east monsoon when blowing strong is much the same as in Macao Roads; but there is always a perceptible flood of 1 or 11⁄2 miles. During the beight of the south-west monsoon, the ebb runs at times at the rate of 6 and 61⁄2 miles, after heavy rains; at that season the floods are very weak.

• The flood censes rising at this hour, but the stream in the middle of the river runs up a considerable time longer.

HONGKONG POSTAL GUIDE.

Whilst always willing to supply information in other ways, the Department declines responsibility for errors in replies to verbal applications (especially if addressed to Chinese) or notes to sub- ordinate officers. The Chinese Shroff's at the windows are placed there to sell stamps, not to decide what is correct postage, which they often do not know.

Hongkong Office.

       1.-The Head Office for British Postal business in China is at Hongkong; there is a Post Office also at Shanghai, and Agencies at the following places :-

      Canton, Hoihow (honorary), Macao (honorary), Swatow, Amoy, Foochow, Ningpo, and Hankow.

       2.-All complaints, or representations of matters which cannot be adjusted locally, should be addressed to the Postmaster General, Hongkong, and, if marked On Postal Business, will be forwarded free by any Postmaster or Agent (see also paragraphs 141, 142). The cover of any correspondence about which complaint is made should if possible be forwarded with such com- plaint. Neglect of this generally renders enquiry impossible. When correspondence has been missent or delayed (both of which are liable to happen occasionally) all that the complainant need do is to write on the cover, Sent to........., or Delivered at........., or Not received till the ...th instant, or as the case may be, and forward it, without any note or letter whatever, to the Post- master General. Attention to this would save much writing and needless trouble.

Dimensions, Weights, and Contents of Correspondence.

3.-No articles of correspondence, unless to or from a Government Office, must exceed the following measurement :-2 feet long, 1 foot wide, 1 foot deep. There is no limit to the weight of letters, but the weights of other articles (except official correspondence) are limited as follows:- To British Offices. To other Offices.

.4th. .8oz.

Books or Papers....... Patterns

5lb. 51b

     Pattern Packets for non-British offices must not exceed these dimensions, 8 inches by 4 inches by 2 inches.

       4. No letter or packet, whether to be registered or unregistered, can be received for Postage (except by local parcel post) if it contains gold or silver money, jewels, precious articles, or anything that, as a general rule, is liable to Customs duties. This Regulation prohibits the sending of Patterns of dutiable articks, unless the quantity sent be so small as to make the sample of no value.

5.-The following articles cannot be sent by post at all: glass. liquids, gunpowder, matches, indigo, dye-stuffs, or whatever is dangerous to the mails, or offensive or injurious to persons dealing with them. Sugar,† soap, and candles may be sent in flat tins, as to which see paragraph 86. There is no objection to the transmission of empty match boxes, or of imitation matches, the beads of which are made of sealing wax or other harmless matter. They should be distinctly marked, Echantillon, Allumettes non inflammables, or Pattern, Imitation matches only, otherwise the packet will not be forwarded.

How to Address Correspondence.

6.-The address and the Postage stamps should always be on the same side of the corres- pondence-the side opposite to the scal or fastening. Legible handwriting is of course of great importance.

* Open a cover about which you intend to complain by cutting along the top, to tear it in all directions much complicafis matters.

The question of prohibiting the transmission of Sugar ahogether is at present under consideration

(January 1st, 1882).

HONGKONG POSTAL GUIDE.

    7.-A Newspaper should be addressed on the paper itself, as well as on any loose cover or wrapper in which it may be enclosed. Should the wrapper be lost, the paper can then still be

sent on.

8.-Every letter, book, or pattern packet, should bear the sender's name outside as well as inside. In case of non-delivery it can then be returned without being opened.

    9.-Those who provide printed envelopes for their local corrispondence would do well to add the addresses in Chinese.

     10.-The word London alone is not a sufficient address for a letter, however well known may be the person or firm to whom it is directed. Number and street should be added, together with the proper distinguishing letters, E.C.; W.; &c., as the case may be. Letters addressed other- wise are NOT DELIVERED in London, but are returned. Similarly, residents in China should have their correspondence directed fully. A letter directed W. Jones, Esq., Hongkong, would not improbably be put aside by the marine officer for enquiry in the Hongkong office, and thus be delayed. But if it were directed W. Jones, Esq., Messrs. B. C. & Co., Hongkong, no difficulty could arise.

    11.-There is no objection to Telegraphic Code addresses if they are registered at the Post Office expected to deliver the Telegrams.

12.-Letters addressed London, To be called for, are not received at any offices but St. Martin's- le-Grand and Charing Cross, nor are they received there if directed to initials or fictitious names, or to any person except a stranger or traveller. No one is allowed habitually to receive letters through the Poste Restante in London.

Rates of Postage.

13.-There are uniform Rates of Postage to all countries of the Postal Union by whatever route, but with certain exceptions given below. No extra charges can be made on delivery. Re-directed Union Correspondence* may be re-posted without further payment.

     14.-A list of the countries of the Postal Union is printed on the Table of Rates of Postage, (see page 412) to be bad at the various Post Offices and Agencies free. They may be said to include all the civilised world except the Australasian and South African groups of colonies, and a few countries in Central and South America.

15. The general Rates of Postage† are as follow :-

Weighing Correspondence.

    19.-In weighing letters it is better to leave a little margin, or add postage for the next half-ounce, as scales are apt not to be quite exact, and if the true weight be exceeded to the smallest extent the letter is treated as short-paid.

20.-Letter scales are very apt to get out of order, and the derangement almost always leads to their allowing too much weight in letters rather than too little. It is, however, easy both to test and to adjust them. Equal weights being placed in either scale, say hall an ounce in each, the balance should be exactly even (each scale hanging free) and should turn with a bit of paper about the size of two postage stamps, otherwise it is wanting in sensibility. If not true, some of the metal should be scraped or filed from the pan on the heavier side until the balance

     Union Correspondence means that exchanged between any two countries of the Postal Union. The above rule does not apply to Local Correspondence the original payment on which was not sufficient for the second transit. Thus a letter from Atuny to Hongkong, paid 5 cents only, and redirected to Paris, would be liable to a further charge.

† It does not follow that the Rates of Postage from any Union Country are necessarily the same as the above,

is perfectly accurate. If this has to be done often, however, the scales should be replaced with

new ones.

21.-No Postal Officer is bound to weigh correspondence, but he ought not to refuse to do so unless pressed for time.

Routes and Opportunities.

22.-All ordinary correspondence is sent on by the first opportunity of which the prepayment admits, unless especially directed, or apparently prepaid for some other route.

23.-First opportunity is taken to mean the steamer which may reasonably be expected to arrive first, but does not signify a sailing ship, as no correspondence is forwarded by that means unless specially so directed, or to a place to which few steamers run.

24. Correspondence specially directed for any particular steamer is sent by her (failing any request to the contrary) however many times her departure may be postponed, unless it is post- poned sine die, in which case the correspondence is sent on by the next opportunity.

25.-Correspondence from the Coast marked vii Brindisi or via Naples is kept for the route indicated even though that may involve a fortnight's detention. Unless this is intended, therefore, the safest direction is By first mail. No late fee is ever charged on Coast corres- pondence, at whatever hour it may reach the Hongkong Office. Firms at Coast Ports who wish to be sure that their Correspondence has caught the mail, should enclose with the letters a local Post Card addressed to themselves. On receiving this back again they may conclude that the letters were in time, unless the Card be muked TOO LATE.

26.-Correspondence for the French Packet should be marked By French Packet only. This ensures its being sent by the most advantageous route.

27.-It seems to be commonly believed that there is some essential difference between the English and French mails for the United King lom. Some persons even direct their letters in French. In fact, however, the mails carried to London by French packet are sealed in Hongkong, and not opened till they reach their destination. There is no difference whatever between the two mails, except as to the packets that carry them.

28.-It is sometimes possible to overtake the French packet at Singapore by means of a direct private steamer. When this can be done coast correspondence which arrived too late is so sent on.

29.-Mails may also be forwarded to London and Ports of call by the Tea steamers leaving Foochow and Haukow, either direct, or to catch the next contract mail at Singapore. Except by special request, only letters are sent in these mails. No unpaid or short paid matter is for- warded by them under any circumstances.

30.-Unless specially notified, mails are not made up at Hongkong for London or the Con- tinent viâ San Francisco, as no advantage arises from forwarding correspondence by that route.

Australia.

31.-There are two routes to Austraha, viz., viâ Torres Straits, and viâ Galle.

32. The Torres Straits route is the best for Eastern Australia as far as Melbourne, for New Zealand, Tasmania, and Fiji. All correspondence for these places is thus sent unless otherwise directed. Correspondence for Adelaide and Perth may be sent by this route.

33. The route viå Galle is best for Western and Southern Australia. Each homeward French Packet connects at Galle with the P. & O. steamer which leaves that port for King George's Sound, Adelaide, and Melbourne. There is obviously no advantage in-forwarding correspondence to Galle by intermediate steamers.

Batavia.

34-The Netherlands India Packets leave Singapore fortnightly, and are fitted to the arrival of the outward P. & O. Mail from Europe. The French Packets for Batavia wait at Sin- gapore for the Packets from China and run fortnightly.

Cape, Natal, Mauritius, &c.

      35.-Each alternate homeward British Packet forms the best opportunity of forwarding correspondence to Aden for the Mauritins packet, and for Zanzibar. As the packets for these places leave Aden only once in every four weeks, there is little advantage in forwarding the correspondence by intermediate steamers. Correspondence for Natal, the Cape, St. Helena, and Ascension is forwarded viâ London by each homeward mail.

In lia.

      36.-Correspondence for India is despatched by each British and each French Packet, as also by the direct steamers for Calcutta which leave about the 16th of each month. The route is chosen in each case so as to ensure the quickest possible delivery. Paid correspondence for Bagdad, Bassora, Bunder Abas, Bushire, Cabul, Gwadur, Kashmir, Ladak, Linga, Mandalay, Museat, and Persia may be forwarded viâ India at Union Rates.

Malta, Gibraltar, Cyprus.

      37.-Correspondence for the above stations is forwarded weekly, by either British or French Packet that for Malta and Gibraltar is sent viâ Brindisi or Naples as the case may be.

The San Francisco Route, Canada, &c.

38.-The route by San Francisco can be freely used for ordinary or registered correspondence for Union or Non-union countries. No mails for London or the Continent of Europe are closed by this route in Hongkong, as no practical advantages result from its use. The making up of mails viâ San Francisco at Shanghai is left to the United States and Japanese Post Offices.

HONGKONG POSTAL GUIDE.

     39.-When it is desired to forward letters to the United States by a sailing ship not notified as carrying a mail, all that is necessary is to post the letters in the ordinary way, marked with the name of the ship, and prepaid 10 cents per half ounce as usual. The Post Office then under- takes the duty of obtaining notice of departure and despatching the correspondence. Such letters should be posted if possible at least one day before sailing.

West Indies.

10-Practically, all the West India Islands are included in the Postal Union.

Posting.

     41.-Correspondence should be posted as early as possible, and if there is much of it, any portion which can be got ready sooner than the rest should be sent off first, so as to post at the last moment only what it is absolutely indispensable to keep open as long as possible.

     42.--This is necessary, not only for the convenience of the Postal service, but for that of the public, as, if all correspondence were kept back till the last moment, posting would have to cease considerably earlier than is the case at present.

     43.-Early posting should not, however, be carried so far as to throw upon the Post Office masses of correspondeice for the Coast, the United States, &c., just when the heavy mails for Europe are being made up. It is not uncommon to see boxes of circulars for the Const, &c., posted at these times, although no steamer may be leaving. It would require very little trouble and consideration to keep these back till the contract mail should have left.

1

     44.-The same thing applies to the omewhat unreasonable partiality for the English mail exbibited by the public. The French mail being the quicker opportunity, it is difficult to imagine why at least two-thirds of the correspondence forwarded should be kept back for the other, thus throwing a disproportionate amount of work on the Post Office on the very day when there is least time to do it. (Se also paragraph 27).

     45.- Boxholders are allowed to post their correspondence in sealed boxes, which should be closed with some recognisable seal. The safest plan is to seal on the box itself, without tape or string, the old wax being removed before more is applied. Locked boxes cannot be allowed.

46.-A receipt book should be sent with each box, but as the receiving officer cannot under- take to count the correspondence sent, he only gives a receipt for One Box. Loose receipts give much extra trouble, and are not recommended. The back leaves of the Receipt Book should be fastened down, as coolies not irfrequently waste some minutes in endeavours to find the place. 47.-It is strongly recommended that chit books used for sending to the Post Office should be set apart for that specii duty, and kept distinct from others used for general interchange of notes, &c. This greatly facilitates enquiry in case of correspondence being taissed, delayed, &c. Such chit books should be ruled with wide lines.

     48.-The Post Office will not give a receipt for the amount of Stamps put on any correspond- ence (except for purposes of account), ror undertake to see that servants affix the correct amount, ncr receive unstamped correspondence in covers with the money enclosed, nor charge outward postage to any person's account, except as provided by the Local Postal Regulations, paragraph 159c. There is no objectiou to receipting a chit-book for the correspondence of a non-boxholder if brought to the proper window, but it is particularly requested that chit-books in cases or bags be not sent.

     49. It is particularly requested that circulars, prices current, or newspapers be not mixed up with letters. They should be sent to the Post in bundles, the addresses all one way.

     50.-Large quantities of newspapers should not be dropped through the letter slits, but passed into the office (in a box or bag) through a window or door.

51.-The Post Office undertakes no responsibility with regard to correspondence posted in moveable boxes on board Packets. These boxes are established for public convenience, but the correspondence must be regarded as at the sender's risk until it actually reaches a Post Office. 52.-As to posting correspondence for the United States by sailing ship see paragraph 39. 53.-Any article of correspondence once posted becomes the property of the addressee, and cannot be returned to the sender, nor can it be detained, without the written authority of the Governor of Hongkong or of Her Majesty's Consul at the Port, on an application stating fully the reasons of the request.

Registration.

54.-Every description of paid correspondence may be registered, except such as is addressed to initials or fictitious names, or is not properly fastened and secured. The fee is 10 cents. No nnpaid or short-paid correspondence can be registered except official letters. The sender of any Registered artiels may have a receipt sent with it for signature by the addressee and return, on paying an extra fee of 5 cents.

     55.-Letters to be registered should not be dropped into the box, but should be handed to the receiving officer at the proper window, and a receipt obtained. The hour of registry will be marked on the receipt if specially requested. Merchants or bankers who have several letters to register at once are requested to send a list of the addresses in duplicate, one copy of which is at once signed by the registry clerk as a receipt. Whoever presents an article for Registry must ask for a receipt. Nothing written on the letter or elsewhere can replace this indispensable precaution.

56.-Registration cannot be carried on up to the very moment of closing the mail. The time fixed for its cessation varies from five minutes up to an hour before that time. Letters for registration should be presented in good time, and, except when it is necessary, persons should avoid presenting correspondence for registry by next mail whilst the officers of the Post Office are busy in closing that one actually going (see also paragraphs 152, 155).

57.-All letters addressed to the United Kingdom or to any port in China, and marked Registered, but dropped into the box, are liable to compulsory registration. That is to say, they are registered and à double fee is charged on delivery.

58.-The Post Office is not legally responsible for the safe delivery of Registered Correspond- ence, but henceforth it will be prepared to make good the contents of such correspondence lost while passing through the Post, to the extent of $10, în certain cases, provided :-

(a) That the sender duly observed all the conditions of Registration required.

(b) That the correspondence was securely enclosed in a reasonably strong envelope. (c) That application was made to the Postmaster General of Hongkong immediately the loss was discovered, the envelope being invariably forwarded with such applica- tion unless it also is lost.

(d) Tuat the Postmaster General is satisfied the loss occurred whilst the correspondence was in the custody of the Brish Postal administration in China; that it was not caused by any fault on the part of the sender; by destruction by fire, or shipwreck; nor by the dishonesty or negligence of any person not in the employment of the Hongkong Post Office.

59.-No compensation can be paid for mere damage to fragile articles such as portraits, watches, handsomely bound books, &c., which reach their destination, although in a broken or deteriorated condition.

      60.-A moment's reflection will show that, if an ordinary letter or packet be once lost, there is almost no chance of its being traced. A registered article, however, is practically beyond risk of loss (except from casualty) and may be looked on as absolutely safe. To register all valuablə articles is not only a wise but is also a cheap precaution. The Post Office declines all responsi- bility for unregistered Letters containing Bank notes, &c., and, where Registration has been neglected, will not make any enquiries into alleged losses of such letters.

61. It is particularly recommended that packets of photographs, collections of postage stamps, &c., be registered. These objects often have not only a high intrinsic value, but also it may be impossible to replace them. They offer temptations to theft, and pho o raphs frequently attract attention from the way in which they are packed. It is not judicious to risk some guineas' worth of works of art for the sake of a 5d. registration fee.

62.-A redirected Registered crticle should not be dropped into the box or sent to the Post Office without remark, but the attention of the receiving officer should be called to the fact that it is registered, and the receipt originally signed for it should be obtained and destroyed.

Letters. Unpaid and Loose.

63.-As a general rule, unpaid correspondence bears the mark T. Nothing can be sent on wholly unpaid except letters. The addressee is charged double the deficient postage, unless the despatching office have omitted to indicate it, when he is charged a double union rate. Local postage, however, is not doubled. Persons receiving unpaid letters which they suppose to be wrongly charged, should pay the postage, and keep the cover for the purpose of obtaining a refund (see paragraph 2). To keep or open the letter, whilst refusing to pay the postage, is a course open to many objections. No letter can be treated as Refused if it has been opened.

64.-Letters arriving loose on board ship (i.e. not in the Mails) are treated as unpaid, no credit being given for any foreign Postage Stamps they may bear (see paragraph 162). As a general rule, a loose letter may be distinguished by its bearing only one Postmark, viz., that of the office of delivery, and this on the address side, not on the seal side. Consignees' letters, being privileged by law, need not be sent to the l'ost Office at all, but if they are sent they are liable to ordi ary rates of postage, except that those arriving from other ports, duly marked Consignee's letter, are charged only local rates on delivery.

65.-Figures marked on any correspondence in Red merely denote what has been paid, and therefore nothing more should ever be paid on account of such figures.

     66.-But figures in black, or blue, denote postage to pay. Thus a red 5 indicates five cents paid, and the addressee has nothing to pay, but a blue or black 5 means that there is five cents yet to pay.

     67.-A short-paid letter, directed for a route by which prepayment is compulsory, is returned to the writer (being opened, if necessary, for that purpose) unless there is some other route by which it can be sent. It is not undertaken that such letter will be returned in time to be reposted for the mail. If the writer cannot be found, the letter is advertised as detained for postage and a notice sent to the addressee.

Soldiers' and Sailors' Letters.

68.-Privates in H.M. Army or Navy, Non-commissioned Officers,* Army Schoolmasters (not Superintending or first class), or Schoolmistresses may send half-ounce letters to the United

* But not warrant officers, viz,, gunner, boatswain, or carpenter.

    Kingdom by private ship for one penny, or by Mail Packet for two-pence. Hongkong stamps will prepay this class of correspondence exactly the same as Imperial Stamps.

      69.-Soldiers' and Sailors' Letters are, however, charged as Ordinary` Letters if they do not conform to the following regulations:-

1.-Not to exceed half an ounce. No double letters are allowed.

2.-If from a soldier or sailor, his class or description must be stated in full on the letter, and the commanding officer must sign his name, with name of regiment, or ship, &c., in full.

3.-If to a soldier or sailor, his class or description must be stated in full, with name of

regiment, or ship, &c., in full.

Post Cards.

70.-Two values of Post Cards are issued by the Hongkong Office, as follows:

For local circulation, i.e., anywhere within the limits of China, Japan, Siam

direct, Cochin-China, Tonquin, or the Philippines* To Union Countries generally.

}

1 cent.

3 cents.

71.-Nothing must be written or printed on the stamped side of the card but the address. Any communication whatever, whether of the nature of a letter or not, may be written or printed, or partly written and partly printed on the other side. But no card will be forwarded on which anything libellous, insulting, or indecent has been written, printed, or drawn.

      72-Nothing must be attached to a Post Card, nor may it be folded, cut, or otherwise altered. If so, it will be charged as a letter. Thin paper, smaller than the card, may, however, be gummed smoothly on it.

      73.-No other kind of card can be forwarded through the Post except at letter rates, or at Book rate if the card bears no communication of the nature of a letter.

      74.-In regard to hours for posting, late fees, &c., Post Cards are submitted to the same rules as letters.

      75.-A card of insufficient value may be fully of proper amount.

prepaid by the addition of an adhesive stamp

      76.-The officers of the Post Office have strict instructions not to repeat or talk about anything they may see on Post Cards.

Books and Patterns.

77.-Books and patterns are charged at so much per two ounces. The Union rate is 2 cents. 78.-The term books includes all kinds of printedt literary matter, with whatever is necessary for its illustration or safe transmission, as maps, rollers, binding, &c., but a book must contain no communication whatever of the nature of a letter. Stamps of any kind, whether obliterated or not, or any papers representing monetary value, such as coupons, drafts, lottery tickets, &c., must be sent at letter rates.

      79.-A book may contain an inscription presenting it, notes or marks referring to the text, or such writing as With the author's compliments, &c.

      80.-Proofs, or corrected proofs, with or without manuscript attached, may also be forwarded at Book rates, but press copies (made with the copying press) come under the heading of Commercial Papers.

81.-A Postmaster may open any book packet, and it is his duty to open a certain number by every mail. What becomes of books into which presents, &c., have been inserted may be earnt from paragraph 95. The packet must be open at the ends, and the contents visible, or easily to be rendered visible.

      82.-It is absolutely necessary that the wrappers of books sent through the post be stout and well fastened, otherwise the books will probably never reach the addressees. No band. somely bound book should be sent through the post, (unless its being spoiled is of no consequence) except, protected by stout wooden boards, larger than the book itself, and firmly tied with strong string. Books to the value of $1 and upwards, when addressed to the United States, are gene- rally liable to Customs duties.

      83.-There is no such thing as Parcel Post to Furope, &c. Trouble and disappointment are caused by attempts to send small valuable trifles through the post otherwise than in Letters. Letters containing presents should always be registered. Presents weighing over 7 or 8 ounces are best sent through a parcel agency ‡. No refund can be made on sucli parcels of the value of stamps obliterated before the nature of the contents was discovered (see also paragraph 4). As to Local Parcel Post see paragraph 101 to 103.

      84-Some difficulty is experienced in obtaining a general understanding of what is a pattern. It is a bona fide sample of goods which the sender has for sale, or of goods which he wishes to order. It is to consist of the smallest possible quantity compatible with shewing what the goods are, and must have no intrinsic value.

85.-Pattern packets must be open at the ends. As to opening them see paragraph 81. Tea, seeds, drugs, &c., may be sent in boxes, or in transparent bags. There must be no writing or printing on or in the packet except addresses, trade marks, numbers, and prices. For a list of forbidden articles see paragraphs 4 and 5; for weight, dimensions, &c., paragraph 3.

 As to using these cards for the purpose of obtaining acknowledgments of posting, see par. 25. topying from a gelatine pad is taken to be printing, but press copying is writing.

A parcel agency is conducted by Messrs. Lane, Crawford & Co, Hongkong and Shanghai.

405.

     86.-Muster tins, when sent in any numl er, should be flat, not round, and without sharp corners. It is impossible to pack a large number of round tins securely in the mail bags. ▲ very good size for Tea musters is 4 by 3 by 1 inches. The sample tins made in the United States are, however, far better than anything else for such purposes.

Commercial Papers.

87.-The distinction between Books and Commercial Papers (papiers d'affaires) is, that whilst Book Packets are to consist of printed matter, Commercial Papers are wholly or partly written by hand. They must not be of the nature of an actual or personal correspondence.

88.-Commercial Papers are such papers as the following:-printers' copy, authors' manu- script; diaries intended for publication or circulation, but not letters in diary form; press copies of any documents not letters; law papers; deeds; bills of lading; invoices; insurance papers; copied music; &c. The rate is the same as for Books, but no packet of commercial papers, whatever its weight, will be charged less than five cents. Stamps of any kind, whether obliterated or not, or any papers representing monetary value, such as coupons, drafts, lottery tickets, &c., must be sent at letter rates.

89.-Any one Commercial Paper in a Book Packet exposes the whole packet to the above rule as to minimum charge. With this exception all kinds of Printed matter and Patterns may be enclosed in ce packet and forwarded at Book rates.

90.-Commercial Papers are subjected to all the conditions of Book Post as to the ends of the Packe being open, liability to examination, &c. But with regard to hours of closing, late fees, &c., Commercial Papers are assimilated to letters.

Newspapers.

91.-A newspaper must not exceed four ounces in weight, or it is liable to an additional rate of postage. It may be prepaid as a book at the option of the sender. The union rate of postage is 2 cents each. The postage of a newspaper from the United Kingdom is 14d., and if only 1d. be paid (or the weight of 4 oz, he exceeded) the paper is sent out by Private Steamer, not by the Mail.

92.-A bundle of newspapers may be prepaid at so much each (and each one must count, however small) or the whole may be paid at book rate.

    93.-Two newspapers must not be folded together as one, nor must anything whatever be inserted except bond fide supplements of the same paper, and same date. Printed matter may, however, be enclosed if the whole be paid at book rate.

    94.-A supplement must consist of matter generally similar to that of the newspaper, be published with it, and have the title and date of the paper at the top of each page.

    95.-Scarves, gloves, presents, &c., are sometimes enclosed in newspapers. The public should understand that this is dishonest. When such articles are discovered in a newspaper or book, it is charged as an unpaid letter, the double postage charged on delivery often amounting to a very considerable sum.

    96.-A newspaper must be open at the ends. If it contain any written communication whatever it will be charged as a letter. It should be folded with the title outwards, and the cover should be arranged so as to slip off easily. The common practice of securing it with the stamp is open to objection. The direction should be written on the paper itself, as well as on the cover, in case of the loss of the latter.

97.-Much delay and trouble are caused when newspapers or circulars are posted all stuck together, on account of the careless gumming of the covers. Not only are time and care required to separate th n, but it generally happens that the stamps adhere to the wet gum on the back of ear. over, rather than to their proper places, thus getting lost, and occasioning confusion.

Prices Current and Circulars.

98.-A price current or circular may be paid as a newspaper or as a book. A bundle of prices current or circulars may be paid as so many newspapers (each one counting) or the whole may be paid at book rate, The Union rate of postage is 2 cents each. For Natal and the Cape,

5 cents.

99.-The plan of sending circulars, &c., in envelopes with the flaps folded inwards is open to objection and gives trouble, as such envelopes are hardly distinguishable from letters. The same applies to envelopes with small portions of the ends or corners cut open.

These are generally cut wholly open by the examining officers, and the contents arc, in consequence, in some danger of falling out. (See also paragraph 97).

100.-During the last few hours of closing the mails for Europe, large masses of circulars should not be posted for other steamers. Circulars and Prices Current should not be sent to the Post Office mixed up with letters or newspapers, but in bundles, with the addresses all one way

Local Parcel Post.

101.-Small Parcels may be sent by Post, at Book rates, between Hongkong, China, or Japan, as well as to Macao, Pakhoi, Siam, the Straits Settlements and India. They must not exceed the following dimensions: 2 feet long, 1 foot broad, 1 foct deep, nor weigh more than 5lbs. Packets smaller than 3 inches, by 2 inches, by 2 inches will not be accepted, The parcels may be wholly closed if they bear this special endorsement, Parcel, containing no letter, but any

parcel may be opened by direction of the Postmaster General. Registration of parcels for India is compulsory.

e102.-The follo cannot be transmitted: Parcels insufficiently packed or protected, or liabl to be crushed (... - ir. adhores, &c.), Opium, Glass, Liquids, Explosive substances, Matches, Indigo, Dyestuffs, Ice, Meat, Fish, Game, Fruit, Vegetables, or whatever is dangerous to the Mails, or likely to become offensive or injurious in transit. There is no objection to parcels containing jewellery. Declarations of contents (made out on a printed form which is supplied gratis) will be required with Parcels for India.

    103.-Parcels will as a general rule be forwarded by Private Ship, not by Contract Mail Packet. To India they are forwarded by the P. & O., and Indian Mail packets only. The Post Office reserves the right of selecting the opportunity for transmission, and of delaying delivery in case the number of parcels is such as to retard other correspondence. No responsi bility (beyond $10 if Registered) is accepted with regard to any parcel. but the system of Registration will secure the senders against any but a very remote probability of loss.

Requests for Redirection.

101.-Requests for the redirection of correspondence, or to have it stopped in Hongkong, should be in writing. The precise address of the correspondence must be given. It is useless to give such vague addresses as " letters addressed to me at Hongkong or elsewhere." Requests should also state whether private letters or those for the writer's firm are required, and to how 'many mails the request applies. No notice is taken of requests sent in after any Mail is sig-

nalled with reference to that particular Mail.

+

     105. The business of the Post Office is to deliver correspondence as directed. All detentions and diversions of it, therefore, must be looked upon as matters of favour, to be granted when the business of the department allows of it, and when there has been time to communicate with the marine officer, &c. Telegrams must be paid for by applicants. Requests of a com- plicated nature cannot be entertained. Correspondence directed to care of boxholders in Hong- kong must, without exception, be delivered as addressed (see paragraph 147). Every request is understood to refer to letters only; papers will not be intercepted unless special reasons for such a request be shewn to the satisfaction of the Postmaster General. There is no charge for re- direction of paid Union correspondence* to Union Countries. The marine officers are not allowed to deliver correspondence at Singapore. Letters for a firm will not be intercepted without the written authority of that firm. Intercepted correspondence can never be delivered until at least two hours after the local delivery. As a general rule, whatever can be done by a friend outside will not be done in the Post Office. Correspondence from the Continent for Northern Ports by French packet cannot be intercepted, nor can that for Yokohama by any Mail.

106.-No request is acted on for more than three months, at the end of which time the correspondence resumes its usual course.

107.-Persons visiting Hongkong, Shanghai, &c., for a few weeks, and intercepting their correspondence there, should, before leaving, cancel their request, or it will continue in force, thus subjecting the correspondence to delay,

    111.-Postage must be prepaid in Stamps, not in money. The Stamps must be whole, clean, and placed on the address side of the letter. No refund will be made of any extra charge resulting from stamps placed on the seal side being overlooked. Stamps should be carefully affixed so as not to fall off, as they sometimes do.

112.-Postmasters and Agents are allowed (but not required) to purchase Hongkong Postage Stamps from foreign residents.

113. The Stamps tendered for sale must not exceed $50 in value, must be perfectly clean, and in good condition. They must be presented personally or accompanied by a note.

114.-The Postmaster or Agent may postpone purchasing if his public funds in hand are not sufficient, and he will refuse to purchase in any case which appears doubtful or suspicious. He is allowed to charge a commission of one per cent. on all stamps purcha-ed.

115.-Letters containing Stamps should be Registerod, and the stamps should be secured from observation.

116.-Boxholders (but boxholders only) are at liberty to mark their Postage Stamps on the back or face, or by perforation, so as to prevent their being stolen. If the mark be on the face, it must be such as not to interfere with the clean appearance of the stamp.

• Union correspondence means that exchanged between any two countries of the Postal Union. The above rule does not apply to Local correspondence the original payment on which was not sufficient for the second transit. Thus a letter from Amoy to Hongkong, paid 5 cents only, and redirected to Paris, would be liable to a further charge.

      117.-Postage Stamps are sold for cash only. Correspondene · will not be stamped at the Post Office and charged to a boxholder's account, except as provided by the Trl Postage regula- tions (see paragraph 159c).

requested to do so,

     119.-Specimen Stamps cannot be supplied to the public excest on receipt of their full value, A complete set of the stanips in use (see par. 108) costs $1.99, or with the $2 and $3 stamps, $6.99. No obsolete stamps can be supplied except in sheets of 240. - Several obsolete values cannot be hal

at all.

120.-The officers of the Post Office cannot undertake to collect obliterated Postage Stamps. 121-All persons are recommended to keep Postage Stamps under Chubb Jock and key, and in posting large quantities of correspondence to send it in a box carefully sealed (see paragraphs 45 and 46). The best way to deal with Postage Stamps that have got stuck together is to steam them for a few minutes, separate them gently, and dry them on blotting paper in the sun. Then add a little fresh gum.

Money Orders.

122.-Money Orders are exchanged with the following Countries:-

India.

Japan (except at Shanghai).

New South Wales.

Port Darwin.

Queensland,

Hongkong also issues orders on Shanghai and vice

South Australia.

Straits Settlements. Tasmaria.

United Kingdom.

Western Australia.

versa,

     123.-Small sums may be remitted between the other ports by means of Postage Stamps subject to a charge of one per cent, for cashing them. (See paragra¡ h3 112-115).

An

      124.-Many mor y orders are supplied to residents at the smaller ports in this way. application for an order is filled up, and is enclosed with a stamped, directed, and unrealed envelope to the Postmaster at the nearest issuing oflice. The application must be accompanied with the full amount (including commission) in cheque, postage stamps, or other equivalent of cash, and a little margin should be left for variations of exchange. By far the best way is to send a round sum to cover everything. That is to say, Postage and Commission having been deducted, the Order is to be drawn for the Balance, whether more or less. The Postmaster issues the order, sends it on in the envelope, and returns the change, if any, by first opportunity, with a receipt for the letter if it were to be registered, as it always should be. Care should be taken to send these applications in time, as the money order offices close some hours before the departure of the mail. If sufficient money be not sent, the deficiency will be deducted from the amount of the order, as no order can be issued either wholly or partly on credit for anybody, however well known or trustworthy.

125.-No order must exceed £10 or $50, (unless drawn on India, when the limit is 150 Rupees) or include any fractional money. Two £10 or $50 orders is the limit of any one remit- tance. Orders will be drawn at the current rate of the day †, and paid at the rate of the day when the advice arrives. Orders from the Austrálian Colonies are cashed at a somewhat higher rate, depending on that obtainable on the sale of a Sterling Bill on London. The commission is as follows :-

Up to £10 or $50 or 100 Rupees .....80 conts Up to

150 Rupees......$1.00.

Up to £2 or $10 or 20 Rupees......20 cents. Up to £5 or $25 or 50 Rupees......40 cents. Up to £7 or $35 or 70 Rupees........60 cents.

     126.-Lists of money order offices in the United Kingdom may be consued at Hongkong and Shanghai.

      127.-Names must be given in full (except when there is more than one Cistian name), but the name of the payee need not be given if the order be crossed like a cheque. It can then be paid only through a bank, and may afterwards be specially cross‹d to any bank.

      128.-No order can be paid till the payee has signed it in the proper place. An order can be transferred to another office on payment of an additional commission. In case of loss of an order, necessity for stopping payment, or the like, application should be made to the nearest money order office for instructions.

      129. If the order be not presented within six months an additional commission will be charged, if not within twelve months, the money will be forfeited. When the order is once paid no further claim can be entertained.

130.-No order can be paid until the advice relative to it has been received.

Miscellaneous Suggestions and Regulations.

      131.-It is most desirable that every letter, book, or pattern packet should bear the sender's name and address, as well outside as inside. If every letter were marked outside with the name and address of the sender, no letter need ever be opened under any circumstances. To sign letters merely James, or Harriet, or the like, is a practice which leads to the letter being destroyed if it cannot be delivered.

• Made out on a printed form which is supplied gratis.

✦ In the case of local orders on Shanghai this is generally taken to be 2 per cent. premium. A dollar rate for drawing on the United Kingdom is in force at Shanghai,"

HONGKONG POSTAL GUIDE.

132.-Letters addressed to clubs, hotels, mercantile houses, &c., to be called for, should be returned to the Post Office as soon as it becomes evident they will not be called for. No refund of postage will be made after three months.

    133.-Unclaimed letters are advertised for three months (or four if for sailing ships) after which, if still unclaimed, they are returned to the country where they originated. Dead Letters (i.e. those returned from other countries to Hongkong) are returned at once to the writers, if their addresses be discoverable on the outsides. If not, they are advertised for 20 days, then opened if still unclaimed, and returned to the writers if they can be found. If not they are destroyed.

    134.-The Post Office is not responsible for loss of, or injury to correspondence, even if regis- tered. (See, however, paragraph 58).

   135.-No Postmaster or Agent is allowed to give any information as to correspondence passing through his hands.

136.-Sealing wax ought never to be used on the outside of correspondence unless covered with tissue paper: as a means of securing the safety of the correspondence it is worthless. There is probably only one way of closing up correspondence so that it cannot be opened with out detection, that is to use thin but tough envelopes (the thicker the envelope the easier it is to open) closed with gum, over which a stamp is applied in aniline or other soluble colour, which will fly (ie., spread about) if moisture or steam be applied to it. Sealing wax in this climate simply becomes a flat cake, the impression entirely disappearing.

    137.-As a general rule, only clean Mexican dollars, or other current tender, can be taken at the Post Offices and Agencies, nor can change be supplied. At the Hongkong office, sovereigns are taken on request and change is generally to be had, but copper cash are not taken, nor are servants allowed to pay sums of ten cents or more in copper without a note from their employers. No postal officer is bound to give change, or to weigh correspondence, but he ought not to refuse to do the latter unless pressed for time.

    138.-Every shipmaster who delivers correspondence at a British Post Office in Hongkong or China is entitled to receive two cents for every letter, and one cent for every other article of correspondence delivered by him, whether loose or in the mail. As a general rule, these suns are paid in Hongkong. No more than two years' arrears can be paid.

139.-The co-operation of the public is requested on the following particulars :-

(a.) Distribute your correspondence as evenly as possible between the two mails (English and French). The practice of posting by the English mail only perpetuates in- conveniences to the public which might otherwise be got rid of.

(b.) Post all correspondence as early as possible; and if there is much of it, do not keep all for the last moment, but send off as much as can be got ready, and keep back only what must be kept back.

(c.) Do not attempt, when one contract mail is closing, to post or register correspondence

for the next (see paragraphs 43 and 56).

(d.) Send circulars, newspapers, or prices current, to the post with the addresses all one way, right way up, and as far as possible divided into lots for the different routes, i.e., all those for the United Kingdom together, for the Continent, for Asiatic ports, &c. Do not mix up letters and printed matter in one confused mass. (e.) Do not post masses of circulars, for different steamers, all mixed up together. (f.) Do not put off the purchase of stamps till mail day. As a general rule, they might

just as well be purchased some days before.

(9.) Do not send coolies with money at the last moment, expecting the Post Office to see that they stamp correspondence properly, and to return a memo. of the change. 140.-It must be remembered that continual attention is paid in the Post Office to extending the facilities accorded to all. But if individuals decline to exercise the small amount of con- sideration required to comply with the above suggestions, not only is the extension of existing facilities rendered impossible, but even the question is raised whether it is practicable to continue them as they are.

    141.-When correspondence is missing, time may be saved by at once sending information to the Postmaster-General, Hongkong, in the following form, or as near it as possible. If full information be not given, enquiries cannot be made.

which are liable to happen occasionally) all that the complainant need do is to write on the cover, Sent to- or Delivered at

or Not received till the ―th instant, or as the case may be, and forward it, without any note or letter whatever, to the Postmaster General. Attention to this would save much writing and needless trouble. The public would do well to bear in mind that Overland Envelopes become quite rotten after about two years in this climate, and not infre- quently fall to pieces in transit, thus leading to complaints that the letters have been opened.

Private Boxes.

143.-Private Boxes may be rented in the offices at Hongkong and Shanghai. The fee is $10 a year payable in advance. This is a Government fee, and does not, as commonly supposed, go to the Postmasters.

144.-Each boxholder is supplied with an account book free, but must himself provide at least two stout bags (Shanghai firms require four) marked with his name in English and Chinese on both sides. Chinese Nankin makes the best bags for this purpose. They should be without strings, but have a couple of iron rings at the mouth for suspending. Boxholders should insist on their coolies returning these bags to the Post Office as soon as emptied, or at any rate not later than next morning. The only safe way to empty a bag is to turn it inside out.

145.-Each boxholder's coolie must be provided with a stout ticket or badge of wood, metal, or pasteboard, bearing his employer's name in English and Chinese. This will enable him to obtain letters whenever a mail arrives.

146.-The advantages of renting a box are many. It secures a quicker and more accurate delivery of correspondence. Unpaid letters are delivered to boxholders without the delay of demanding payment, change, &c., as they are charged to his account. The boxholders of Hong- kong and Shanghai send bags down in the mail steamer to be filled by the marine officer. Box- holders are allowed to post their letters in sealed covers or boxes, and to mark their Postage Stamps (see paragraph 116). They receive free copies of all notices issued by the Post Office, tables of rates, &c. Many inconveniences are saved to them by the facility for charging their accounts with small deficiencies of postage, when there is no time to return a short-paid letter. This, however, is only done as an exception, when the letter cannot go on unpaid, no boxholder being allowed to make a practice of sending short-paid correspondence, or letters to be stamped (see paragraph 117). Boxholders are also allowed certain privileges as to posting local corres- pondence unstamped (see paragraph 159c).

     147.-As a general rule, requests to keep the letters of one individual out of the box of the firm to which he belongs or belonged cannot be complied with so long as his letters are directed to that firm. Otherwise the whole correspondence of that firm would be subject to delay. The same rule applies to complimentary boxes, which are set apart to facilitate the delivery of letters to a whole set of addressees, whose correspondence should not be delayed for the convenience of one person.

148.-Boxholders' books are sent out for settlement on the first day of each month, and should be returned promptly. In case of any book not being returned within seven days, the boxholder is liable to be supplied and charged with a new one, the old one being destroyed on its return. As a general rule no information can be given as to the correspondence charged in these accounts, where it came from, &c. There is only one way to obtain such information, and that is to file the covers of all unpaid correspondence received.

149.-A box cannot be jointly rented by two or more persons or firms.

Hongkong Office.

     150. The Hongkong Office is open from 7 A.M. till 5 P.M. on week days. Mails arriving are distributed up to 9 P.M. (Sundays, 6 P.M.), or in the case of the Contract Mails outwards, gene- rally at any hour of the day or night, but if there be no steamers leaving early, the delivery of a Contract Mail may be postponed till daylight. The hour at which delivery of a Contract Mail was begun is notified in the pu' lic papers as a check upon servants. Those who are at the windows when they are opened re always served within ten minutes at most. The Money Order Office i open from 10 to 4, · 10 to 5 on mail days. It closes at 1 on Saturdays unless the Mail for Euro be leaving on Molay.

     151.-The ''fice is closed on Sundays and Public Holidays, unless there are steamers leaving, when mails are ade up from 8 to 9 A. u. Should any one of the outward Contract Mails arrive on Sunday, or i the night, the office is kept open only long enough to get the necessary work done (from one to two hours) and is the.. closed, all the correspondence being sent out either at once, or the first thing next morning as the case may be.

     153.-Supplementary mails are also closed on board the American packets (for Union countries only). The Late Fee is 10 cents. There are moveable boxes on board the British and French Packets for Shanghai and Yokohama* which may be used without late fee. The Post Office undertakes no responsibility as to correspondence so posted.

154.-All other mails are closed half an hour before the time of sailing, except the Contract Mails for Shanghai, which close an bour before, half an hour being allowed for the reception of correspondence with late fee of 19 cents. A daily list of Mails is circulated.

      155.-Correspondence can be registered for the American, Indian, Torres Straits, Shanghai, or Yokohama Contract Mails up to a quarter of an hour before the time of closing; for all private ship mails up to five minutes before.

     156. Whilst making up the Contract Mails for the British, French, American and Torres Straits Packets, it is necessary to keep the office wholly closed for at least ten minutes. Whilst sorting the outward Contract Mails the Post Office is closed to the Public except for the sale of Stamps. Enquiries, &c. cannot be attended to, nor can correspondence be registered.

157.-As to matters in which the public can render the department most valuable co-opera- tion, see paragraph 139.

     158.-On mail days two windows are set apart for the sale of Stamps. Large quantities of newspapers, &c., should be brought to the boxholders' window, not dropped through the Letter Slits. Registry is effected in the Money Order office.

     159. The charge for delivery of a letter, newspaper, book, or pattern within Victoria is 2 cents. No delivery is guaranteed to ships lying in the harbour. Local delivery is governed by the following general rules:-

(a.)-All correspondence posted before 5 P.M. on any week day for addresses in Victoria will be delivered the same day, and generally within two hours, unless the delivery should be retarded by the contract mails. Information can always be obtained as to when a delivery will take place.

(b.)-Where an establishment is wholly closed on Sunday or at night, a letter box for the

  delivery of correspondence should be provided, and should be regularly cleared. (c.)-Invitations, &c., can generally be delivered within Victoria at the private houses of the addressees rather than at places of business, if a wish to that effect be expressed by the sender, otherwise all correspondence is invariably delivered at the nearest place of business.† No local delivery is attempted outside Victoria, nor within Victoria at houses where ferocious dogs are kept loose. (d.)-Boxholders who desire to send Circulars, Dividend Warrants, Invitations, Cards, &c., all of the same weight, to addresses in Hongkong, Bangkok, or the Ports of China, may deliver them to the Post Office unstamped, the postage being then charged to the sender's account. Each batch must consist of at least ten. Such local letters

may exceed 1 oz. in weight, and are charged 2 cents per ounce. Special accounts can be opened (even with non-boxholders) for the delivery of considerable numbers of unstamped Jocal letters (such as Invitations, &c.) all of the same weight. (e.)-Boxholders may also send Patterns to the same places in the same way. Envelopes containing Patterns may be wholly closed if the nature of the contents be first ex- hibited or stated to the Postmaster General, as he may consider necessary, and approved by him. Printed Circulars may be inserted in such Pattern Packets. 160.-As to excepting the correspondence of individuals from the general delivery, see para- graph 147. Letters for persons whose addresses are known will not be kept Poste Restante except by special permission of the Postmaster General and for satisfactory reasons.

161-Registered letters cannot be delivered with the same promptitude as ordinary corres. pondence, though in the case of the British mail the delay is made as short as possible by means

     * There is generally a Post Office Agent on board the French packet for Yokohama, who makes up a "upplementary Mail. It should be remembered that he does not go on board till uenrly the last moment, and if he is not found there, sonders of correspondence should await his arrival.

of completing the registration at sea house whilst a receipt is signed. Wh best way is to call for it.

Still, the postman who delivers them has to wait at each registered correspondence is required in great haste, the

162.-By the Post Office Ordinance (No. 10 of 1876) all transmission of correspondence from or delivery of correspondence in Hongkong, except through the Post Office, is illegal and subject to heavy penalties. Loose correspondence duly stamped may, however, be put on board vessels after the mails are closed at the Post Office.* The Stamps should be cancelled by the sender. If the Port of destination be one where there is no Hongkong Agency, further Postage will, of course, be charged (see paragraph 64). The Stamps affixed here should nevertheless be cancelled, if left clean, they may endanger the safety of the letter. This does not apply to letters posted in recognised moveable boxes. Posting on board should never be resorted to where the route is long and complicated, e.g. to Chili, Peru, or a West Indian Colony. Correspondence for such places should always be sent to the Post Office. A supplementary mail may be closed on board at the discretion of the Postmaster General. The penalty for not giving proper facilities to make it up and to quit the vessel is $500.

88,

    163.-Shipmasters must deliver any mails or correspondence which may be on board to the Post Office without delay, and make a declaration that they have done so, under penalty of $500. There is always some person at the Post Office to receive mails, which need not, however, be landed later than 9 P.M., or earlier than 5.30 A.M., excepting, of course, the Contract Mails.

     164.-Shipmasters are entitled to certain gratuities (see paragraph 138) on correspondence brought, and the same may be paid on correspondence taken.

165.-Any person or firm about to despatch a vessel to any place out of the Colony must send the first notice to the Post Office. It is illegal to advertise, Despatches will close at- -A.M., or the like. In regard to sailing ships, the rule practically is that, if notice be not specially asked for, it is not required.

166.-A shipmaster is bound to take mails and sign a receipt for them, under a penalty of $500, which sum may also be recovered for their non-delivery at destination.

167. The master of a ship is beyond doubt the person responsible for the due delivery of mails. Every ship should be fitted with a locker or chest for mails, and nothing else should be put in it.

        As soon as a mail comes on board, whoever receives it should place it in the mail locker, and before arrival at any port this locker should be examined.

* Correspondence brought to Post Office just too late for any mail is returned that this may be done. The

sender is of course at liberty to post it again should he wish to do so.

FREEMAN'S CHLORODYNE.

THE ORIGINAL AND ONLY TRUE.

It is allowed to be the greatest discovery of the present century, and is largely employed by the most eminent Medical Men in hospital and private practice, in all parts of the globe.

the best remedy known for CovaнS, COLDS, CONSumption, BronchITIS, AND ASTHMA, It effectually checks those too often fatal disenses-FRVXR, AGUE, Crovˇ, WHOOPING COUGH.

It acts like a charm in DIARRHEA and is the only specific in CHOLERA AND_DYSENTERY.

It effectually cuts short all attacks of EPILEPsy, Histenta, PALPITATION, CONVULSIONS AND SPASMS.

It is the only palliative in NEURALGIA, RHEUMATIS, GOUT, TIC DOLOREUX, CANCER, TOOTHACHE, and all NERVE PAIN.

    It rapidly relieves pain from whatever cause; allays the irritation of fever; soothes and strengthens the system under exhausting diseases; and produces quiet and refreshing sleep.

IMPORTANT CAUTION!

   Four Chancery Suits terminated in favour of FREEMAN'S ORIGINAL CHLORODYNE, and against J. Collis Browne and J. T. Davenport. Lord Chancellor Selborne, Lord Justice James and Lord Justies Mellish condemned their proceedings, and ordered them to pay all costs of the suits.-Reported in the Times and other Newspapers, April 29th and July 24th, 1873.

Head Quarters Staff, Cabul, May 31st, 1880.

Mr. R. Freeman.

   Dear Sir,-It is wh much pleasure that I am able to state that your CHLORODYNE has been of special service to me in alling the wearisome spasins of Asthing which is here existent in au aggravated form many of my patients now come and beg me to give them that medicine which always relieves them, and which I need hardly say is your Chlorodyne.

CHARLES W. OWEN, L.R.C.P., Lon, M.R C.S., Eng. The Divisional Head Quarter Staff and Civil Surgeon, Cabul. "The Times," August 13, 1877.

Yours faithfully,

From our own Correspondent with the Russian Army,-Okoum, July 15th 1877.

    The want of sanitary arrangements in the Russian Camp was dreadful, and had we remained there a few weeks longer, dysentery and typhoid fever would have played more havoc in our ranks than the bombs of the Turks. I myself acquired an unenviable reputation as a doctor, owing to my being provided with a small bottle of CHLORODYNE, with which I effected miraculous cures.

None genuine without the words, "Freeman's Original Chlorodyne," engraved on the Government Stamp. Testimonials from most eminent medical men accompany each bottle.

IMPERIAL QUARTO.

ENGLISH AND CHINESE DICTIONARY,

WITH THE

PUNTI AND MANDARIN PRONUNCIATION.

AN ANGLO-CHINESE DICTIONARY, PUBLISHED AT THE "DAILY PRESS"

OFFICE, HONGKONG.

FOR

scope and practical service this Work stands unrivalled. All the new words which the Chinese have of late years been com- pelled to coin to express the numerous objects in machinery, photography, tgraphy, and in science generally, which the rapid advance of foreign relations has imposed upon them, are here given in extenso. Each and every word is fully illustrated and explained, forming exercises for students of a most instructive nature. Both the Court and Punti pronunciations re given, the accents being carefully marked on the best principle hitherto ttained. The typography displays the success of an attempt to make he Chinese and English type correspond in the size of body, thereby effecting a vast economy of space, achieving a clearness not previously attained, and dispensing with those vast margins and vacant spaces which have heretofore characterized Chinese publications.

r

The s

           work is so great, and its utilitarian purposes so complete, that a reference to its pages enables a person who understands English to communicate effectively with natives who understand nothing but Chinese. In this respect the work will be found indispensable to all Europeans residing in China, and to the natives themselves it explains subjects fully with which very few indeed of them are perfectly acquainted. To parties resident in England and interested in China it cannot but be invaluable occasionally.

It comprises upwards of two thousand large quarto pages.

GOVERNMENT OF PERAK

Special Regulations for the Leasing of Waste Lands in Perak, Passed by the Perak State Council, on the 4th May, 1879,

and Amended on the 20th September, 1880.

His Highness the Regent in Council has been pleased to direct that waste lands in the State of Pêrak may, until further orders, be disposed of on the undermentioned conditions:-

I.-As soon as possible after the receipt of the application, His Highness in Council will grant an Agreement for a Lease for 999 years to any person, whose proposal after examination shall be approved of.

     II.-The Agreement and Lease will be subject to the conditions and covenants herein- after mentioned.

(a.) A premium of one dollar per sore to be paid, and the lands to bear an annual quit. ront of ten cents per acre, or the lands may be granted free of quit-rent upon the payment of two dollars per acre premium at the choice of the applicant.

(b.) One-third of the premium must be paid on the completion by the Regent of the Agreement for the Lease, and the remainder within twelve months from the date of first application for the land, or on completion of the Lease, if that shoul 1 sooner take place.

   (c.) The land must be selected within twelve months from the date of application. (d.) A bonâ fide commencement must be made within eighteen months from the date of the selection of the land, and the Lessee will be entitled to retain two sores of waste land for every acre which shall have been brought under cultivation within a term of 12 years from the date of his agreement for a Lease, Should there still remain a balance of uncul- tivated land to make up the total acreage named in the original agreement, after the deduct- ion of the cultivated and waste land to which the Lessee is entitled at the end of the 12 years, that balance of uncultivated land will revert to Government.

(e.) All minerals under or within the said lands are reserved by Government, together with the right to enter upon and resume such portions of land as may be necessary for examining or working the mines, upon payment of just compensation to the Lessee.

(ƒ) A belt of land, 50 yards deep, will be reserved along the banks of all navigable streams, rivers, and creeks; and along the sea-shore, ample provision, free of rent, being made for landing places and other purposes for the convenience of the neighbouring estates. Government will also reserve such portions as may seem advisable along the ridges of hills.

(g.) The Government reserves the right to resume such plots of land as may be necess- ary for public purposes, as Police, Revenue, or Telegraph Stations, and for roads, railways, tramways, canals, &o., upon payment of compensation for damages actually sustained by the Lessee.

(h.) The Government reserves the right to take, without payment, stone, clay, sand, and all other road-making materials for the construction and repair of neighbouring roads, bridges, &c., paying compensation for injury to private roads, growing crops, &o.

(i.) The right to take, or to authorise others to take timber, oharcoal, gums, and all other natural produce from unfelled forests and uncleared lands is reserved by Government. (j.) All expenses of survey, demarcation of boundaries, transfer and registration fees · and expenses of conveyance to be borne by the Lessee.

III.--All former Regulations for the sale of wastə lands in Pêrak are hereby with.
