The attempt which was made by the various Banks in China to establish a four months’ usance upon Bills drawn against produce ship- ped to Great Britain, has now been finally aban- doned. Trade has returned to its old track and is again being recognisedly conducted upon a six months’ principle. At the time when it was proposed to inaugurate the change, opinions upon its feasibility were diverse ; but among the mercantile, as opposed to the banking classes, the impression was strong that the new plan could not be adhered to. It was argued that the step was contrary to the principle upon which...”

If reading with a teacher they have to trust to his often unsatisfactory explanations, if without, they must trust to memory oy future research to enlighten them ; in the book itself there is generally little more explanation given than that “ Pan-koo says,” or the “ Spring and Au- tumn relates?’ Looking in a dictionary he will probably find that “Pan” is a surname, and though possibly he may learn that “Spring and Autumn ” is the title of a book written by Confucius, his knowledge will end here. To supply this want and to form a convenient but critical encyclopedia of the literature o-f China has been the aim of Mr. Wylie. How well he has accomplished his task the wrork itself will shew : though confined within the limits of 250 pages quarto the hook contains references to about 2,000 works, by...”

“...November Wth 1SG7. SUPREME COURT & lie is disposed to acknowledge the genuineness of the “ Classic of Hills and Seas,” which late scholars of great ability, as he tells us, refer to a date contemporary with, if not antecedent to, the Chow dynasty. A condensed review of the later literary his- tory of China is followed by the following pithy remarks on the probable effect on native litera- ture of recent intercourse with Western nations. “ Some lire ready to imagine that recent intercourse with foreign nations will speedily revolutionize Chi- nese methods of thought, and produce a new erain the literature of the people and history of the nation. The a tirring events of modern times will doubtless not pass away without leaving an impression on the future of this remarkable nation ; but they greatly mistake the character of the people, who, looking from our stand- point, expect to see a sudden abandonment of old no- tions, for the adoption of views and theories which have hut recently bean...”

The Prosecutor added that lie did not seek to be re- paid the damages done to the trap, but brought the charge on public grou ids as others had suffered from such conduct as Ihe prisoner’s. By the Court.—It was the prisoner who was driv- ing. He informed us that he was the keeper of the Bubbling Well Cottage. The Court enquired of the witness whether the cart were defendant’s own or not, when defendant volunteered a statement that it was. Mr. Youd, clerk to Messrs.

“...220 SUPREME COURT & CONSULAR GAZETTE November 30/7i 1867. The notice referred to, which was dated 19th day of 1st Moon (23rd of February 1867), was handed into Court and a copy thereof appeared in the tfiz/meme Court & Consular Gazette of 23rd March. Although similar instances of intimidation on the part of the trading Guilds had been frequently exper- ienced, no such clear proof of interference with ligi- timate trade by curtailing the liberty of individual dealers, had previously been made public, and the Committee deemed it necessary, in the interests of the Foreign Merchants, to address the Consular Repre- sentatives of Foreign powers at this port, urging their united action in support of the remonstrance which shortly after the hearing of the case the British Consul transmitted to the Chinese Authorities. A Meeting of the Consular body was accordingly called by M. le Vte. Brenier de Montmorand, as senior Consul, for the 23rd March, but in the meantime, on receipt of Mr. Winchester’s...”
