No communications can be noticed unless accompanied by the name of the writer. j^ugreme anb Consular feetie Shanghai, October 26th, 1867. To all who take a deep interest in the affairs of China, and watch the progress of its commercial development with careful attention, the Annual Reports on Trade at the Open Ports which have been lately published will be singularly wel- come. After all we are here solely for purposes of trade, and we may as a community Safely put our hand on our heart and declare conscien- tiously that we are not guilty of entertaining any sinister motives. Before leaving for China, or when on our way to this illusion-dissipating realm, we may in excited moments have seen visions and dreamed dreams,—shadows of...”

“...156 SUPREME COURT & CONSULAR GAZETTE October 2Qth 1867. The Coast Trade shows an increase of about Tls. 30,000,000 ; and this is a sign that foreign bottoms are appropriating more and more of the trade which can be conveniently done by them, and displacing the ante-diluvian junks In the Tls. 184,990,002 which is the estimated value of the Coast and River Trade, it must be remem- bered that the same goods are counted twice,— that is as Exports at the port of shipment and Imports at the port of landing ; and in case of Re-exports of native produce, they are counted four times, twice as Exports and twice as Im- ports. Coming to the revenue which the Chi- nese Government derives from Customs’ Duties and Tonnage Dues, we find the total amount for 1866 is Haikwan Tls. 8,685,629, against Hai- kwan Tls. 8,297,275 in 1865, a sufficiently res- pectable increase, which is almost entirely from opium, “ a branch of trade” in the language x>f Mr. Dick, the Commissioner at Tientsin, “ while it makes an...”

She had a strong list aport —between two and three streaks. Her port bulwarks were gone and also her rudder. A jury jibboom had been rigged. She had two temporary jib sails. I concluded to try and save her. There was a nasty sea on at the time and my boat was stove—a cutter about 28 feet long. I do not know her Value exactly Should think £46 or £50. She had Clifford lowering apparatus. She is totally lost. That night we anchor- ed Amherst Rocks. We got underweigh at daylight, and we brought her into the Yangtsze River and an- chored inside the Lightship. The Dartmouth incurred some damage in towing her. We got into shoal water and in consequence of having the Siam in tow would not answer our helm and came right up in the wind. We came at right angles to the Siam, and the Siam struck and caused the damage. We were drawing about 19 feet. We had a Pilot...”

October 2tith 1867 less than half had been awarded to the salvors, and where the services has been valuable, and he com- mented on the case of the Thetis, 3 Hogg Ad. 14, fche Martin Luther, 1 Swaby p. 287, and Clifton, 3 Hogg Ad, 117. The rule of giving a specific proportion of the property saved had been abandoned even in case of derelict. The Court would have to decide whether the salvors were entitled to be paid the expenses in- curred in consequence of the collision between these two vessels, which appeared to him to have been caused by the negligence of the Dartmouth. Two, or at the outside three, thousand dollars wuold be adequate remuneration. Mr. Robinson on behalf of the ship said he would endeavour as much as possible to avoid going over the same ground as his learned friend (Mr. Myburgh). He wished to draw the attention of the Court to some authorities, much more recent than those referred to by the counsel for the salvors, shewing that the...”

“...October 26tk 1867. SUPREME COURT & CONSULAR GAZETTE. 159 Some feeling has been imported into the case by the conduct of both parties. The Bank clerk by a sum- mary erasure of the entry in the Pass Book unjustifi- able refusal to assist the agent of the Bank by such information as it was in his power to give, injures his own cause and raises doubts in the minds of the Bank authorities of his bona tides. Divesting the case of this feeling, I see no reason at all to imagine that either party is wilfully guilty of an intention to deceive. Some time has elapsed—more than two months—since the alleged deposit was made, and on no subject are men more tenacious or more obstinate than on questions affecting their memory. Mr. Walsh is certain he paid in $900 on the 12th July. Mr. Ansell is certain he only paid in $450, The Plaintiff contends that the Bank is stopped from denying receipt of the money by the entry of the Cashier in the Pass Book. The Bank, on the other hand, insists that such entry...”

Their bodies are removed by an under- ground way, as it is thought the sacredness of the main doors will be outraged by their being carried through them. ” Similar accounts are given by the Hankow Times con- cerning the examinations at Wuchang, where it is assert- ed about twenty persons died during their progress. The same paper states that news of a doubtful charac- ter has come to Hankow, describing a revolt, en masse, of the people of |the prefecture of Paw Ting, notfar from’Peking, upon which they are said to have marched. The discharge of Mackellar & Co. Bankrupts has been officially announced. We understand, however, that it was appealed against, but that the appellants neglected to appear till some few minutes after noon on the 18th (noon being the final hour appointed) and that consequently they were held to be too late.
