SUPREME COURT & CONSULAR GAZETTE. 143 It is quested that only such communications as relate to Editorial matters be addressed to the Editor, and that they sent not later than Friday. oq Advertisements will be received till 10 a.m. on Saturday. No communications can be noticed unless accompanied by the name of the writer. jjwjretite ®o«vt anir Consular feetie Shanghai, October 12th, 1867. We deeply regret to record the death of Mrs. Win- chester, which took place on the morning of the 10th instant. Independently of the position which, as the wife of our respected and justly popular Consul, she held amongst us, her own excellent qualities of mind and heart will cause her loss to be severely felt ; and we feel certain that, mingled with every kindly remem- brance of her, our whole community will sympathise deeply with Mr. Winchester in the irreparable loss that he has so suddenly sustained. The facilities which have been placed in the way of Chinese students through the...”

“...144 SUPREME COURT & CONSULAR GAZETTE. October 12th 1867. native middlemen. Time has proved the latter view to be fallacious. Gradually one barrier after another has given way -first the Com- pradores, next the Chinese Brokers; and may we not conclude, that finally the Chinese Commission Houses will also yield as the natives become more generally aware that by employing for- eigners they will avoid the uncertainty and trouble which too I-often has resulted from the speculativeness or unscrupulousness of their now middlemen. In the long run artificial barriers must of ne- cessity give way before the force of actual facts and material advantage. The Chinese are shrewd enough to know that the fewer inter- mediates they employ, the cheaper they will buy their goods; and if they discover foreigners able to converse with them, competent to give them the best advice as to the mode of conducting their business, and dealing fairly with them—not charging them a cent more than their actual com- mi...”

“...October 12th 186a. SUPREME COURT & CONSULAR GAZETTE. 145 that beyond Mr. Crawford’s examination and Mr. Gordon’s statement nothing will be done Believe me, Yours very truly, PHILLIP A. MYBURGH. J. Gibson Esq. H. B. M. Consul. The Judge’s keply. Sept. l\th, 1867. Last night I received a note from Mr. Myburgh. (note read by Mr. Myburgh himself.) From what he says in that note, and from what he said in his speech to the Court yesterday, it is vain to conceal from my- self that rumour has poured into Mr. Myburgh’s ears expressions entirely untrue and falsehoods utterly base. From what persons those untrue expressions, those utterly base falsehoods, came, I shall not stop to en- quire; I not only sit here—on this seat—as a member of a profession which Mr. Myburgh has selected as his own, but I sit as a Consular Judge to defend British Law, Equity, honor, honesty and fair transaction, through buffeted by falsehoods and even by senior brother’s suspicions and prejudgements. I sit in this seatf...”

“...146 SUPREME COVET & CONSULAR GAZETTE. October \2th 1867 of inducing more activity in such matters by the authorities. The river Min, at and above the anchorage is lilting up in a manner to form a most serious inconvenience to the navigation, and urgently calls for scientific measures being promptly taken. We would suggest that if the talent of foreign engineers were available to advise the native authorities, a certain weight and influence would necessarily be accorded to their opinions and some pressure could be put upon the authorities, to carry out their suggestions. Article 9. Travel into the interior with passports. Ar- ticle 10. The Yangtsze River to be open to British Trade, Article, 47. British Vessels to trade only at open ports. Hitherto the 9th article has been interpreted with great stringency. Indeed so much so, that, practica- lly, the allowance to travel, for purposes of business, has been a dead letter. At the time of conclusion of the last treaty, when the empire was so...”

“...148 SUPREME COURT & CONSULAR GAZETTE. October 12th 1867 Should foreigners in travelling in the Hills in the night time lose their way, the people will point out the highway to them. The people are not to deceive them or to cause them to suffer privation. When foreigners at the Hills wish to buy anything, the people must deal fairly and must not charge more than the market price. When foreigners are at the house, and country people come to the temple to worship the god, they are to burn incense only in the Hall; they are not to enter the foreigners’ house and brawl or babble, and trouble or disturbance will thus be avoided. If any of the Chinese attendants of foreigners enter any of the people’s houses and annoy the people, or make a disturbance, or insult women, the people will point out the offenders and petition the local authorities to write to the Consul to deliver them up for punishment, and foreigners will not protect them. Foreigners are not to enter the houses of the people without...”

“...October 12 th 1867. SUPREME COURT & CONSULAR GAZETTE, 14ff gradually abated here, but only by reason of the wind having hauled more Southerly, and thus brought Hongkong in its lee. The typhoon, when lirst felt here, was evidently, from the direction of the wind, E. by N. and E.N.E ; bearing about N.N.E. of Hongkong, and travelling in a north-westerly [ ? south-westerly,] direction. During some of the heaviest gusts it was quite impossible to stand with the body erect; and without leaning to windward and a good deal of physical exertion it was difficult to keep one’s feet. Mter experiencing one of these blasts broadside to, as a man of war’s man would put it, it is not difficult to comprehend how such destruction to property could be brought about. The destruction to property alone has been enormous ; it is impossible even now to give anything more than a rough and hasty sketch of the loss that has ensued, to mention nothing of the loss of life, which must have been considerable, and which...”

“...150 SUPREME COURT & CONSULAR GAZETTE. October 12th 1867. There has not been much harm done to the Eastward, that portion of the harbour being partially sheltered from the force of the gale. The native craft in Cause- way Bay appear to have weathered it out all right, but the police chop at the head of the bay was parti- ally unroofed The Kowloon side still presents a sad scene of desolation, chiefly caused, however, by the typhoon of September 8th, so that it is hard to say where the old damage left off and the new commenced, but it is reported that a great number of native craft were lost in the bay on Tuesday, and a large quantity of wreck drifted past the Kill Kiang while she lay on that side. Several vessels have put back, as will be seen from the shipping columns, but the H. B. Palmer was not one of these, she not having yet left the harbor, but has been lying snugly near the middle of the harbor to the westward since leaving her old berth. The Battler is still on the rocks at Stone...”
