Supreme ®curt anb (ffnnsukx (Svelte Shanghai, March 16th, 1867. In our columns of this week will be found the answer of the French Consul General to a circular recently addressed by the Taoutai to the Foreign Consuls, relative to what H» E. is pleased to call, in plain English, the fraudulent conduct of Foreign Merchants in their dealings with the Native traders. We have already re- ferred to this prod action of Ills Excellency, and it is with no small degree of satisfaction that we call the attention of our readers to the mode in which the Vicomte de Montmorand is inclined to deal with it. “I have communicated,” says the French Consul General “an...”

No doubt, as Mr. Winchester points out, cash transactions are safest, but the experience of every trading community is that “cash transations” are not always possible, and very frequently are impossible. Credit, it has been often before ob- served, is the life and soul of commerce, and with- out the assistance of credit, it is almost impossi- ble to carry on trade to any extent. The ne- cessaries of life may be bought and paid for by cash, but with large shipments of tea and silk, and such like articles, cash dealings are almost out of the question, neither is it frequently des- ired by either party that cash should be paid. To one of the parties, it may be difficult to get cash, in which case he cannot afford to give so high a price for the goods, and the other party may have no immediate want of the money, and may prefer getting...”

This is a long digression for our limits, but it is important to a conclusion we are seeking to establish, that there is/if not a progressist, at all events an anti-reactionary, party in this go- vernment. We have no desire to optimise on the subject. Exaggeration in such a cause would be, we concehe, as harmful, as wholesale den- ial that the Chinese are advancing, is unjust. But, admitting readily that they would have continued as indifferent to progress as Coreans...”

H. Ryder.—I command the tug Boat /Stownson. I know the defendant as Pilot. I have known him to act as Pilot subsequent to the date of issuing the Pilot Regulations. The ship in question was the “ Morning Star.” The occasion was about the middle of last month. My tug towed the “ Morning Star ” up the River, and the defendant was acting as Pilot on board. I received my orders from him. Cross Examined.—For the most part of the time the Captain was on deck. I received all my orders from the defendant.

“...March Wth 1867. SUPREME COURT & CONSULAR GAZETTE. 123 against the Prisoners was of having conspired and having destroyed a ship called the Erin, with intentjto defraud the Insurers. The evidence (said the Recorder) was all circum- stantial, that is, there was no witness who had seen the Captain or the Mate make the leak in the vessel, hut there were a number of facts, or circumstances, it was alleged on behalf of the prosecution, which at- tested to that fact ; and the question would be, whe- ther those circumstances did attest to it so strongly as to satisfy their minds of its truth. The Recorder pointed out that the counts imputed to the prisoners not simply the destruction of the vessel, but its des- truction with intent to defraud various persons. The law said that to destroy a ship with intent to injure its owner was a crime ; to destroy it with intent to injure the owners of the cargo was a crime; and to destroy it with intent to injure the underwriters of either ship or cargo was...”

In was plain that the mistake had not been disco- vered ten days later ; for the letter of August 23rd to Cumming, Beaver & Co., directed them to complete the policies on the copper, yellow metal, and card- ainums, and to insure the 420 piculs of cotton, the hemp, already insured, and 15 piculs more of card- ahiums. Even on the 12th September, the mistake was undiscovered ; for in a letter of that date to the same firm, he announced the loss of the Erin, sent amote of the Captain’s protest, requested an immediate ad- justment of the Albert and Elphinstone policies, beg- ged that they might, if possible, be discounted ; and yet the pencil memorandum of the Erin’s cargo dated twelve days before made no mention of the goods so insured. The discovery appeared to have been made on the 13th September, if the letter bearing that date was...”

I shall be quite willing to withdraw it (renewed laughter), but I think the Committee should use its power and influence to prevent such sales. Mr. Davis.—Any one breaking the rule would be in the hands of the Committee. The Chairman.—Well, whether right or wrong the amendment is now passed. The next proposi- tion is that no confederacy can be formed within three weeks previous to any Race Meeting. . Mr. C. E. Carter.—If this rule rule be not car- ried, a loop hole will be left for evading the pre- vious one. A man though prevented from selling a horse at the last moment, might join with some- one else and square the race as he liked. Mr. Davis.—If no one else will do so, I shall be happy to propose this. Mr. Gibb.—Who gave notice of it? The Chairman.—Mr. W. H. Carter. Mr. Gibb.—Well then he ought to propose it. (cheers.) Mr. Carter.-—I gave notice of this among...”
