Only persons licensed by Her Majesty’s Consul can be members of the Company, and it is made compulsory on British vessels to employ these only, in like manner as piloting by duly licensed pilots is made compulsory at various ports in England. The aggregate pilotages paid by British vessels at Newchwang in each of the years 1865 and 1866 is estimated at eleven thousand taels, and it is believed the amount will increase in this and following years. The present number of pilots is seven ; it is not proposed to add more than two; and as all earnings are to be equally divided, it is probable that in the open season of 1867 each pilot will receive, from British shipping only, from twelve to thirteen hundred taels (less his share of pilot boat expenses). When the British piloting leaves spare time, the pilots are...”

Public attention has of late been called on several occasions to the vast extent of the re- sources of this country, and we have been more than usually indebted for useful facts upon this Subject to the information laid before the North China Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society. That Society has during the present season been sin- gularly happy in the papers which have been read at its meetings. They have been for the most part of a statistical rather than of a speculative nature ; and though perhaps in some respects less attractive than those in which general con- siderations are embodied, they...”

“...132 SUPREME COURT & CONSULAR GAZETTE. March 23rd IS67, Over and over again we hear of the great mineral resources of the North, and circumstances are constantly occurring which bring to our notice the urgent need in which China stands of their development. But still she allows thousands of her subjects to re- main without labor, and with scarcely means of livelihood, while wealth which would support them all, lies buried and untouched in the earth. But not only this. Unable or unwilling herself to use foreign arts and sciences for the purpose of developing her resources, she has hitherto steadily adopted the “ dog in the manger ” policy of forbidding other nations to do so. But it is certain that the spirit of progress, which causes civilization to force itself into the remotest corners of the earth, will at last open up the wealth of this great country, now lying useless to herself and to the world. Whether the wise and timely adoption of arts and sciences, familiar to us, but new to her...”

The entry is that I sold silk to Ewho. Chuquai being a broker and Ewho a large firm, I looked to the large firm and not to Chu- quai for payment. It is the custom in the silk trade sometimes for the firm to pay, and sometimes the bro- ker. I will swear that there is no custom in the Silk Guild to look to the agent. I have never received money for silk direct from a foreign Hong. I have frequently sold to foreign Hongs, and have never gone to them for payment myself. At times my partner or servant goes with the broker. I cannot give a parti- cular instance. I have had several transactions with foreign Hongs through agents, among others with Bower, Hanbury & Co., Skeggs & Co., Buissonet & Co., Chapman, King & Co. George Barnet & Co. ChuqUai was agent in the sale to Buissonnct & Co. It was about July last. I have been...”

“...136 SUPREME COURT & CONSULAR GAZETTE. March 23rd 1867. I can instance Geo. Barnet & Co. I shipped several lots of silk to Europe in November, but it all belonged to Chinamen. Mr. Campbell owes me Tls. 14,000. Tls. 10,000 is for some old accounts. The balance is for. some silk. I did not ship 200 bales through him in November. I shipped some through Reiss & Co. They paid a portion of the value on account for the purcha- ser. 1 do not know how many bales. I shipped 35 bales through Skeggs & Co. The accounts have not been rendered. These shipments were not on my own aecount. 1 made a shipment through Buissonnet & Co. This was on silkmen’s accounts. I do not owe upwards of Tls. 350,000 to the silkmen ; only about Tls. 100,000. They have not possession of my assets. Some Tea was seized at Ningpo by the Taoutai. Both the Silk Guild and Jardine, Matheson & Co. claimed it, and it was taken in charge by him. , Mr. Myburgh objected that this line of ques- tioning was not relevant. The objection was...”

I do not know Mr. Camp- bell. The silkmen look to E-who. Mr. Paungefote requested that the books of the E-who bank should be taken.possession of by the Court.

The meeting was therefore of opinion that there was no ground for complaint against the Harbour Master or members of the Board, and that charges of this in- definite nature, unsupported by particular instances or evidence of any description, could not be considered of any weight or force. It was the unanimous view of the meeting that it was competent generally to the Harbour Master and Board of Examiners to give effect to the Pilotage Rules by framing such bye-laws for the conduct of the ex- aminations themselves as shall not be inconsistent with the said Rules and may be approved by the Consuls and Taotai. The live Rules attached to this minute were then agreed to, and it was arranged that they should be {translated and forwarded...”

“...140 SUPREME COURT & CONSULAR GAZETTE. March 23rd 18G7. fully recognises that it is unfair to expect the Volun- teer Force to pay the amount, but he imagined the community would have met it. The matter attracted some attention formerly in Shanghai; but while there was a general feeling that it was unfortunate Mr. Webb should be a loser of the money, on the other hand it was felt that the accounts not having been rendered for so long after the amount had been ex- pended, it could hardly be epected that the then members of the Volunteer Force should be called upon to pay it, and the community also regarded the matter in a similar light. As usual at this season of the year sporting matters have attracted no little public attention. The Shang- hai Race Meeting has been fixed for the 8th, 9th, and 10th May, a date which is, however, looked upon as too late in the year, the sun being already powerful at that period. The programme, which has been issued, promises good sport, the races being well...”

The only hop e, therefore, for the market is a cessation of shipments to China, and we are glad to see by latest advices from home that this fact is being realized. During the week a fair quantity of Grey Shirtings has changed hands at Tls. 2.4.8 @ Tls. 2.5.5 for 81 lbs; good 66 reed have been sold at Tls. 2.8.0 and 7 lbs. T-Cloths at Tls. 2.2.0 @ Tls. 2.3.0. Drills are neglected. Fancy Cottons are less enquired for. The articles chiefly in demand are Handkerchiefs, Black Velvets, dimities and Black Camlets. The Re- ports of Nienfei on the Yangtsze caused a little anxiety and some of the timid native traders hesitate to forward goods.
