To those only who have definite engage- ments in mercantile houses or in Government employ, can it offer an inducement; and others, who look towards this country with an idea, of pushing their fortunes in it, will do well to pause before they take a step which will in all probability lead only to grievous disappointment. At the present timejhere are many men who can obtain no employment in the place ; and the records of the Summary Cases in the Supreme Court form an index of the difficulties under which many of them labour. In the course of time the numbers here at present will, it is to be hoped, thin down to that for which there is a fair demand; but there is at least at the present time, but little or no chance for fresh arrivals; and people at home, who think of emigrating, will do well to turn their attention to other places than China...”

The ac- count was dated as far back as June 1865, and was originally for $123.15 ; on account of which $63 15 had been paid, and the $60 balance was sued for.

July \Mi 1867. Before the Honble. Chief Justice Smale. In the Matter o/* Lyall, Still & Co., Thia was a motion to recover goods on the part of B. Liebert and Emil Levita, from the Official Assignee of the above Bankruptcy—goods to the amount of 100 bales Grey Shirtings—from the ship Pakwan, which arrived here from England on the 18th May last. Mr. Whvte appeared for Mr. Liebert, instructed by Mr. Sharp; and Mr Pollard, Q.C., appeared on behalf of the official assignee. The case being precisely similar to that formerly argued touching goods similary claimed arrived per Min, admissions were made on both sides as to the facts of the case ; and, with one or two except- ions, the evidence taken in the matter of the Min was by consent held applicable to this case. Mr. Pollard said that he had little...”

“...July 2frh 1867- SUPREME COURT & CONSULAR GAZETTE. 37 plaintiff may recover notwithstanding negligence on KiS*parfc remotely connected with the event. What shall be deemed ordinary case within the meaning of this rule varies according to the circum- stances of each case and cannot be strictly defined, though it may perhaps be described as being such care &3 a prudent man would take in any critical situation to prevent an accident. It is clear therefore that as the critical nature of the situation increases the Law demands an increasing exercise of care, and thus or- dinary care in the legal .sense mw mean in some cases the utmost care, and what under one set of circum- stances might be deemed ordinary case might under another be deemed gross carelessness. Now, in a running-down case, such as the present, where the plaintiffs vessel is at anchor and the de- fendants in motion, the act of the defendant is prim£ facie unjustifiable, and he is therefore bound to prove that he took ever5r precaution...”

With the Governor to back them up j they stood a much better chance of having more con- sideration shown to t.toem when cases of thia kind oc- curred. He would- therefore propose that such repre- sentation on the subject of the reViaai of the Treaty as may at the present arid Subsequent meetings )>e decid- ed upon, be addressed ;to His Excellency Sir Richard Graves MacDonnell, Governor of this Colony, and from what was already known of his energy and capacity for work, Her Majesty’s Government would not get much rest until they have taken some action in it. A brilliant instance of His Excellency zeal for the in- terests of this colony was seen in the manner in which he advocated the case of the seizure of the Prince Al- bert being successful in at last convincing Sir Ruther- ford Alcock that the seizure was an illegal one. Mr. Leman then proposed the following resolution...”

“...July VIth 1867 SUPREME COURT & CONSULAR GAZETTE. :9. Mr. Geo. Heard proposed that a Committee should be aj p Anted at this meeting to draw up a statement to be presented at a general meeting. Merchants could then send their suggestions to the Committee, and they could he embodied in the statement. The Chairman thought it well to have an adjourned meeting ; the subject was hardly yet fairly ventilated, and few even at this meeting were prepared to offer any suggestions. Mr. Parry thought it would be well to have the Com- mittee appointed, and have them at work, and have the adjourned meeting as well. Sir MacDonald Stephen- son had, when he was here, called upon every firm, and requested them to write him letters embodying their views and opinions, and this had met with a moat hearty response ; why could not the Committee act in the same manner ? The Chairman said that Sir MacDonald Stephenson w as a striking man, and received a great deal of atten- tion, but he hardly thought merchants would...”

Warden and Young; par Cadiz, from Nagasaki, July 22nd, Mr. Bayne; per Sunda, from Hongkong, Julj7 22nd, Messrs, Bertolli, Mamulldorff, Boyd, and Andre. The Interior.—As usual the reports regarding the rebellion are very conflicting. The North China Daily News appears disposed to place great confidence in Le’s strategic movements, deeming that lie has “holed” the Nienfei within forty li of the seaboard of Shang- fcung. The Recorder ridicules the idea of Li having surrounded the Rebel forces, pointing out the ab- surdity of regarding such a step as an evidence of probable success, unless the forces were in overwhelm- ing numbers, as otherwise the enemy are at liberty to break the cordon at whatever point it happens to be weakest. It also notices one important feature which has recently come to notice in reference to the Rebellion, namely, that the Rebels are not composed alone of the Nienfei, but consist in part, of...”

“...27?A 1867. SUPREME COURT & CONSULAR. GAZKTTE. 43 regarding an accident which occurred to the steamer ■ Volunteer when leaving that port, e?z route, to Foochow. i At the time decided upon for the vessel’s departure ' there was an unusually strong flood. On rounding the , flag-staff of Messrs. Dent & Co. the current caught her j bows and forced her across channel. The result was that she grounded on the rocks at the South side of the , entrance to the harbor, and rolled heavily for a few j minutes. Fortunately the tide which was mainly in- j strumental in causing the accident proved at this junc- ’ ture the means of saving the vessel from sinking. She was carried by the flood off the rock and farther inside, and was beached without further misfortune. We understand that the damage mainly consisted in serious breakage of the plates on one part of the hull. The occurrence is said to have been entirely due to the tigheadeduess of the Chinese official on board, who insisted upon leaving port...”
