Supreme (ftonrl anil Consular ^ajette Shanghai, February 23rd, 1867. In our last number we noticed some of the more general considerations with reference to the com- petition which characterises trade as at present conducted; and we purpose on this occasion, to cast a rapid glance over the system of Banking now in force, and to note how far competition has influenced its nature and bearing. It is needless to point out the important relation in which Banking stands to almost all jcommercial operations. Scarcely any transaction, from the purchase of the everyday necessaries of life to the management of the national debt, is unaffect- ed either directly...”

If this competition is to be upheld as an ad- vantageous system, surely some one must have been benefited while so many have been ruined ; and if we confine our view to the China trade— and we doubt not the working of the principle is similar in other places—can there be a question to whom the money which, £10 by £10, has been invested by the industrial classes at home, has gone; or that it is the Chinese’ trader, wily and cautious, though he “ has not yet learnt the benefits of free and open competition,” who has pocketed the money, which we have lost accord- ing to the most enlightened commercial prin- ciples ? We are, as previously stated, aware of the answer, that what the public at home Lave lost in this way they have gained in cheap teas and silks, and in higher prices paid for their own manufactures. But it is a poor consolation to a ruined...”

I think it was after this that he shewed me a sample of fuses which he had in hia office, and asked me if I did not think I could have some made. I took the fuses and found that the lowest price at which I could get them made was Tls. 5 each. We both concluded that it was too much and w’aited till the next steamer from Japan came in. On Dec. 23rd Mr. Fajard came round to my house and asked what he was to do about the draft as it was due that day and he had no money to pay it. I told him that I was sorry, but that if the battery had arrived complete it would have been paid for long ago, as the Chinese of- ficials would have taken delivery of it. He at last in- formed me that if I did not assist him with a little money he would have to’lfail. I then told him that if a fewjjthousand taels would help him I would let him have them, that he was keeping me out of the profit I expected to make. He returned in the afternoon...”

“...February VSrd 1867. SUPREME COURT & CONSULAR GAZETTE. 87 The Committee, differing somewhat from views you have expressed, consider moreover, that the Native Hongs are readily able to discriminate between the various capacities in which the Compradores of Foreign Houses conduct their dealings, and believe that they confuse them, for the most part, only when it suits the occasion to do so. It is almost needless to remark that while the foreigner is seldom in a position to dis- scover or to treat with the real owners of produce, or purchasers of Imports, the native principal in a Com- mercial transaction has it always in his power to come forward and avow his interest. In the opinion of the Committee the remedy for the evils to which the Toautai draws your attention is to be formed in the adoption of a more liberal policy by the principal traders among his own countrymen, who have hither- to kept themselves studiously in the back-ground under the influence of the instincts and principles of...”

Under these circumstances, I think it will be apparent to you that nothing further can be done at present to advance the object in view, by H. M.’s Minister here. The real difficulties in the way of any prompt action by the Chinese Government, are such that only time and gradual enlightenment leading to progress can be counted upon for any change It is not only that Chinese Ministers, during the mino- rity of the Emperor, feel that they are exposed to great danger by every innovation they sanction, but in this particular question, they conceive there is addi- tional peril from the possibility of new complications arising by the interference of Foreign Powers, in the event of lines in the interior being undertaken by For- eign Capitalists and Engineers.

The total cost of repairs being Tls. 12,000, and unavoidable expenses of the Steamer some 18,00b more, so that by these casualties alone the Company, had to face a loss of some- thing like Tls. 60,000, exclusive of the services of the Steamers. The loss of the Huquong had also been highly detrimental although she had been fortunately replaced on the river line by the Shanse, but the services of the Shanse wete thereby lost on the Tientsin line where it was intended she should be placed. Notwithstanding these drawbacks the business of the Company shewed a profit for the year of Tls. 148,000 which was available for division and appropriation Jo reserve. The principal business which he had to bring before the notice of the meeting was the purchase of the Steamers from Messrs. Dent & Co. and Messrs.

“...February T&rd 1867. SUPREME COURT & CONSULAR GAZETTE. 91 During her voyage from Ningpo on the night of the 20th inst., the Szechuen came into violent collision with the steamer Express, within a few miles of the Ruggeds. The latter was cut down to the water’s edge, and her fore compartment immediately filled. A cry was raised that she was sinking, and the Szechuen was requested to stay by her and prepare to receive her 300 Chinese passengers. Boats were lowered to effect this, but owing to the high sea it was considered that the transhipping would be attended with serious risk, as each passenger shewed so great disinclin ation to be parted from his baggage that it would have been necessary to use force to have got them into the boats without their boxes. The two Captains accordingly decided to run for Pirates’ Bay, where the Express could be beached. This was safely accomplished ; and at daylight yesterday morning the transhipment of the passengers and baggage to the Szechuen was commenced...”
