In the study of the Law also* would be found a salutary counteraction to the effects of an- other study as essential to the Consular Official. We allude to that of the Chinese lan- guage, with which it is clearly necessary that a gentleman engaged in the Consular service should be acquainted. It is matter of notoriety that this study, excepting in the case of men of very superior mental calibre, tends somewhat to produce fanciful and peculiar ideas, and to weaken the faculty of taking...”

With such a source of revenue, it is obvious a priesthood must be well to do. They lia\ e only to discover a credulous family of means that has lost a member by death, and they re- present the deceased as suffering from a cruel judge in one or other of the the halls of punishment, and that money will procure his release*; and the money is provided. This superstition also explains in part the readiness of Chinese when angry to commit suicide. It may not be in the power of the ' injured man to revenge himself as a man, but he has only to transform himself into a spirit and he becomes potent for mischief. Hence tlie^frequent threat of suicide, which usually has the effect of procuring for the threatener > some consideration. Ancestral Worship bears the same relation...”

The two main objections of the Committee of the Chamber of Commerce of Shanghai, referring to Articles 14 and 15, would equally apply to the Mari- time Law and Customs of Great Britain, as well as those of nearly every other European State. In all, the compulsory employment of Pilots has been enacted just and expedient, with a view to general security and the maintenance of an efficient body of Pilots. In our own Merchant Shipping Act, as I have already advised you, consignees are distinctly made liable to pay Pilo- tage Dues under Section 368. The qualification embodied in the same clause, limiting it to those who “ have paid, or made themselves Hable to pay, any “ other charge 011 account of such ship in the port of “ her arrival and discharge,” refers to a condition of such general bearing that I apprehend there can be few consignees or agents for ships who neither...”

Captain Roper was highly complimented for his conduct and pluck, it being the second occasion upon which he had rendered similar service. There are two or three noteworthy points res- pecting the treatment experienced by the crew of the Genkai, which call for more than passing comment. The Mandarin at Chelang Point behaved in the most praiseworthy manner. He not only fee, lodged, and protected his involuntary guests, but did his best to stop their being plundered. Some of the rowdy natives attempting to carry off some property, they were fired at and some of them killed by an officer of the Genkai.
