Shanghai, October 19th, 1867.
The recent Bankruptcies in Her Britannic Ma-
jesty’s Consular Court at Yokohama, of “Black ”
and of “ McKechnie,” which were noticed in
the Gazette, disclosed a somewhat curious mis-
apprehension that exists as to the exact nature
of the position which a Consular Officer holds
towards the community amongst whom his
duties lie.
Many of Black’s creditors claimed to prove
under bills of sale and mortgages on the estate
of Hansard and Black, which Black had given
on the partnership property, and several questions
arose as to the terms of leases and the rights of
the different parties under them...”

on Chinese Literature;” but it forms an elaborate
and carefully compiled history of all the leading
'works which have been produced by the pens of
native authors. The design of the book, Mr.
Wylie tells us in his preface, is to assist students
in Chinese literature, who, at the. commencement
of their career, frequently find themselves
•arrested in their readings by the occurrence of
proper names ami quotations from books, to
which they can find no clue without the assis-
tance of a native scholar ; and indeed are often
unconscious of the fact that they are dealing
with names at all, while they are engaged in
fruitless search of the translation of the words.
The books which have hitherto appeared up-
on the Chinese Bibliography, have treated the
subject only within narrow limits, and have
moreover now become so rare as to be with dif-
ficulty obtainable. Mr. Wylie’s work will

posals, which he accepted, for printing and publishing
the paper, that he received the names of the subscri-
bers from Bncarna^&o, that he looked upon Encarna-

ment between the two parties. Encarna^&o’s state-
ment is that Rozario was to receive as remuneration
all the subscriptions, and should these amount to less
than $40 a $45 per month, the deficiency was to be
nmde good by Encarna^ao ; it is stated by one or two
witnesses that Encarn^ao, at the time the publication
commenced, had mentioned to them that his agreement
with Rozario was on there terms ; Rozario, on the con-
trary. states that he did not understand that Encarna-

he looked merely to the subscriptions for remuneration,
