Sngrcittt fort sub Consular feette Shanghai, February 8th, 1868. We recently inserted a communication upon the decision of Dr. Lushington, in the matter of the Jonathan Goodbere, in which that learned Judge decided upon grounds, which, however, our cor- respondent called in question, that by the act of signing a bottomry bond against the ship in which he binds himself personally, a master forfeits his lien upon the vessel as against the Bondholders for the balance of wages due to him at the time of his granting such bond. Our correspondent pointed out that the view thus pro- pounded was likely to have a detrimental effect upon the interests of shipmasters...”

“...54 SUPREME COTTRT & CONSULAR GAZETTE. February StK 1858, possible to maintain all the relations that it is desirable should be maintained between one na- tion and another without ever resorting to force or without even hinting at it as a dernier resort. It is not necessary to say that in order to maintain their position, the Essay writers have found it desirable to take so high a stand and to cast their eyes over so vast a space that the true nature of almost every fact to which allu- sion is made is lost to view in the distance; and in no part of the book is this more palpable than in the chapter which is devoted to the con- sideration of British relations with this country. With the exception of some remarks respecting the Opium Traffic, which, though founded upon truth, are at the same time, eminently superfi- cial, the facts are placed in an entirely false light, and are, in some instances, wilfully misre- presented, All the disasters which have ever happened to China are of course...”

“...the Che-Hsien of Kaliding’s boat of some mandarin garments and a few dollars, and the perpetrator of the robbery was sentenced at the Supreme Court to three years’ penal servitude. The case of Azemar v. Casella and another, heard in the Court of Common Pleas (see ante. Vol. II p. 295), in which an important point in reference to an allowance clause in a contract for cotton was decided, was brought before the Court of Errors on the motion of the counsel for the plaintiff, and that Court, con- sisting of Martin B., Blackburn J., Channell and Pigott B. B., and Shoe J., confirmed the judgment of the Common Pleas, namely, that the cotton tendered was not that which defendants bargained for, and that they were not bound to accept it with an allowance, the allowance clause having reference only to inferiori- ty of quality not difference of kind.

I could not tell whether one wras directly in the wake of the other. One of them, the headmost, anchored. The first in- timation I had of this was her bringing her head in to the wind. I saw some chain which led me to know the anchor was let go. She was hauling her jib down as the chain ran out. I can see a chain three quarters of a mile off with glasses. Two or three minutes aft- erwards I saw the sternmost vessel changing her course. I do not think the Alcyone could have gone to windward of the Lady Love. There was a strong breeze. In my opinion the topsails should have been lowered, and the jib hauled down before the anchor was let go. Cross-examined .—I cannot exactly say what time elapsed from any seeing the jib hauled down to the anchor being let go. I watched the two vessels till they came into the collision wTith the Harbor Master’s...”

“...February 3th 1868. SUPREME COURT & CONSULAR GAZETTE. 57 The spanker, two topsails and jib were set. We backed the maintopsail to stop the ship’s headway and then let go the anchor. 1 checked the vessel with 12 fathoms of chain, and I checked her again at 15 fa- thoms, when the anchor held. When I let go my an- chor she was about 500 yards astern. The vessel was •• drudging ” up gradually and ooming round. She was drudging 3 or 4 minutes. I observed the Alcyone com- ing towards us. She was keeping her course right up the river. I expected she would run into us. I jumped up into the mizen rigging and shouted two or three times that I was at anchor, and I waved my hand several times. I was about 170 to 180 fathoms from the Harbour Master’s hulk, when I let go the anchor, we drifted on to the hulk. It was ten minutes after the collision that the steamer came alongside. The tug got the vessels clear of one another, and I then had the Lady Love beached. After the steamer was fast, we slipped...”

“...58 SUPREME COURT & CONSULAR GAZETTE. February 8th 1868. NEWS OF THE WEEK. The item of news of moat interest in Shanghai dur- ing the past week ia the arrival of Mr. J. McLeavy Brown, the Secretary to the new Chinese Embassy, together with the Chinese members of the suite, who have taken up their abode at the new Mixed Court building in the Maloo. We have not yet heard definite- ly when the Mission will start, but we presume that it will be shortly, as it was stated that Mr. Burlingame was only awaiting the arrival of Mr. Brown and the remainder of the Embassy before leaving. We are by degress re-commencing business, though as usual after the Chinese holidays, the return to the routine of work both public and private is slow. The members of the British Episcopal Church Society meet this day for the purpose of passing the accounts, &c. As mentioned previously, the difficulty with re- gard to the finances has now been overcome, though possibly not in the most satisfactory manner, as it is...”

Subsequently to our last, the prices of this article ruled at Tls. 530 a 532 for 1st sort drug, and some sales were|made at that figure, fcafter which it was quoted at Tls. 535 which was yesterday’s rate, but to-day the market is firm vat Tls. 538. The cause of rise is owing to the receipt of news of high rates at Hongkong per Suivonada. Should the supply by the expected mail be short, as we anticipate, there is a further chance of rise. Malwa is quoted at Tls; 540. Patna. Since our last, owing to the reduced Stock, the market has been firm. To-day it is quoted at Tla. 497.
