Supreme Cflxmrt anb Consular feette Shanghai, August 24th, 1867. The columns of our Hongkong Contemporaries have recently contained some ably written ar- ticles upon the subject of the relative position of the Minister at Pekin and the Consular Autho- rities at the various ports; and have given a resume of the chief arguments which have from time to time been advanced upon this subject. The question is one of no little importance, ultimately resolving itself into that of whether our relations with this country shall be exclu- sively governed from Pekin; or mutato nomine, the familiar subject of the policy of centraliza- tion, as enunciated by Sir Frederick...”

“...SUPREME COURT & CONSUL AR GAZETTE. separation of diplomatic and judicial functions than by a constant resort to force of arms as suggested by those who are advocates for a decentralized policy. One great error which is made by the Chinese is their want of a due appreciation of the difference between diplomatic and judicial questions; and in an early and crude state of our relations with China, this error was in a measure followed by ourselves ; the diplo luatic and judicial powers of our Consuls having been by no means so carefully distinguished as should have been the case. The Ch inese are disposed to look, upon every dispute as a matter for negotiation and compromise, rather than for adjust nent upon settled and defined principles of law and right. If, however, we can induce them to understand the difference between law and diplomacy, we shall advance a step in the right direction. We are disposed, therefore, to believe that in the extension of the system of Mixed Tribunals a remedy...”

The idea that because the Chines'* have their own notions on the subject of beggers, the foreign residents in this settlement are to be annoyed by such disgusting and revolting exhi- bitions as many native mendicants are in the habit of making in order to appeal to the sym pathies of the public, appears to us to b * stretching the point of jurisdiction on the part of the Chinese to an absurd and untenabl degree ; and when it is remembered that the native officials are glad enough to allow the Municipality to take upon themselves the trou ble and responsibility of punishing Chinese criminals by means of the chain gang, it cer tainly appears to be straining at the gnat after swallowing the camel. Thus then with regard to the native mendicants we think we mav fairly leave to the Chinese the responsibility of relieving them ; and content...”

Judgment was accordingly given for the market value of the goods mentioned in the first list, and costs decreed against defendant as he fairly drove Plaintiff into Court by his refusal t<5 come to any settlement o account with him.

Mr. Farnham, who has contracted to build the new Church, has declared his intention of carrying out his contract notwithstanding a difficulty with respect to funds, concerning which there has been a great deal of correspondence in the local papers.
