We candidly confess to intense astonishment, as much indeed as the writer of the article in the London and China Express of the 26th No- vember, entitled the “New Chinese University’,’ could in his most sanguine moments have ex- pected any of his readers entertain to. That a Chi- nese University exists—that some native students are learning English and French, we believe to be true ; but that there is anything like a Uni- versity in the sense in which it is intended English readers of the London and China Ex- press should understand the term, we do not believe. “ The Imperial University stands...”

“...S4 SUPREME COURT & CONSULAR GAZETTE. January 25th 186& to time granted to individuals to go out and make prizes ; but too frequently under the cover of these letters of marque, the very men to whom they have been granted find means to become the most dangerous of pirates themselves. Nor is this all. Too often the local authorities are actually in league with these desperate de- fiers of all law and government. Directly or indirectly they are enabled, by means of paying up a portion of their plunder to a local official or his underlings, to escape with impunity, jand to carry on their depredations without fear of consequences. It is well known that in some cases they have “ taken over ” desperate pirates, and given them appointments rather than allow the continuance of disorders, which they are utterly unable to put down. Hitherto the danger to foreign vessels likely to result from this cause has been confined to the neighbourhood of Hongkong; but from the account which has recently been...”

Claim for Tls'. 50, accountant’s charge guaranteed by defendant. William Cheshire.—I am partner in the firm of Cheshire, Laurence and Hunt (accountants). About twelve months ago, we received instructions from the Supreme Court to go into some account books of Sewell & Jarvis with reference to a case that was being in- stituted between the partners of that firm. We were at the same time, ordered to get security from each of the partners for his share of the charges that would be incurred in making up the books, which were accord- ingly examined, and our charge for the same was Tls. 100. (Tls. 50 to be paid by each). Sewell has paid his Tls. 50, but Jarvis has refused his, and we sue the se- curity. Not cross examined.

“...36 SUPREME COURT & CONSULAR GAZETTE. January 25th 1868. James Gladstone, sworn : I am the master of the Ladye Love. On the morning of 30th October I came on deck, as I felt something was wrong with the ship, I saw a man leaning over the wheel with his head forward as if he were asleep, the mate was going aft and was slightly in advance of me, he made a motion as if he were felipping the lad’s face, the boy screamed out and said his face was all over blood. I examined it with the help of the lamp, and there was none whatever, I said myself that if he didn’t behave (because he was threatening the mate with justice) I should< rope’s-end him, and I took up a rope to do so. To Complainant.—I never said to the mate “Don’t be excited. ” His Worship fined prisoner $10, and ordered him to pay him the costs of the case. Complainant applied to be discharged from the ship, and an order was made accordingly. January l&th, 1868. C. Loubeck, of the Shakespere, was charged by Li- Chiug-Tiaou, a Chinese...”

In the present case, there was no doubt but that Aitchinson did conduct himself in a most disrespectful manner to the officer of the Court and that he well deserved the punishment that had been awarded him. At the same time the Court had no desire to do more than shew that it was determined to check such conduct in the future and the punish- ment already inflicted might serve this purpose and be a warning to those who felt inclined to treat its au- thority with disrespect or set it at defiance. The apo- logy to the Court as well as to the officers having been made in fitting terms, Captain Aitchinson hnight be released. It was always more agreeable to pardon than to condemn ; but this case would furnish no pre- cedent, except in so far as it shewed that the Court would not tolerate thejeast word ^of disrespect to its orders or to its officers.

A table given in the Appendix to the Memorial shows the duties levied upon Foreign cottons and woollens with in the Settlement of Shanghai, and every one of which exactions the Chamber argues are contrary to Treaty, and would cease to exist if H. B. M. Minister energetically protested against them. The suggestions which the Chamber has made with reference to these subjects are : First,—that liberty to reside in the interior under license ’from the Consul at the Treaty Port be clearly defined. Second,—that the establishment of better means of communication be permitted. Third,—that no local taxes in excess of the Tariff be levied without the express sanction of the Foreign Ministers. Fourth,—that transit dues should be collected by the local officials in the country, in lieu...”

The Chaplain was also informed that the bond guar- anteeing his stipend would expire on 3rd November of this year, and that of the five guarantors only one re- mained resident here ; under these circumstances the the Committee suggested the desirability of his apply- ing for some other appointment, and this it is under- stood he has done.

SUPREME COURT & CONSULAR GAZETTE. 41 The New York got underweigh, not, however, before two of the pirates’ ,craft were one on each side of the larger Shanghai junks, while the third took up her position alongside the smaller one. The schooner was without delay brought close under the stern of the large Shanghai junk, but, to the horror of all, they discovered that the latter had already fallen into the hands of the pirates. A shower of pikes, many of which came down on the schooner’s deck, was hurled at them, amidst yells of defiance, and they were told that the pirates were murdering all on board. Being completely unprepared for an at tack, and without a single arm, it was beyond their power to render any as- sistance to the unfortunate victims ; and they were reluctantly compelled for their own safety to bear out to sea. The proceedings in Bankruptcy in re C. Treasure Jones were continued on the 22nd inst., H. M. Govern- ment claiming for the amounts short in t he Consular...”
