Those wliose memory of Chinese affairs extends back to a period of half a generation, must have some remembrance of a time when, in the pro- clamations that were issued against them by irate Vice Roys and belligerent Imperial Com- missioners, the burden of official gravamen was for a time “ the leaking of silver'from the Inner Landit was the economical argument against the opium traffic, and had more weight appa- rently than the moral objections that were urged against the introduction of the “ barba- rian dirt.” To what extent that drainage of silver from China...”

“...88 SUPREME COURT & CONSULAR GAZETTE. February 29 th 1868 lieve tliat this result is certain to attend tlie study of Chinese alone, and judging from the peculiar eccentricities which are too frequently noticeable, among those who have dived into the mysteries of rhythm, tones and dialects, there would ap- pear to be at least some little foundation for the idea. But in all seriousness there is no doubt that a residence in China does tend very materially to lower the force and ton of a European’s in- tellect. Beyond the physical weakness which an enervating climate naturally induces, there is a certain mental lassitude, a laissez allez easy going style produced by the peculiarities of re- sidence in this part of the world, that cannot escape the notice of the least observant. How much of this is attributable to physical and how much to moral causes, forms a very in- teresting speculation, and a few words upon the subject may not, in the absence of more absorb- ing topics be unacceptable to...”

February 29 th 18G8 ficially inaugurated on the 18th January last, when the keel of a steamer was put on the blocks and the foundation stone of the workshops was laid, the Im- perial Commissioner deputed by the Pekin Govern- ment to take the general direction of the Arsenal, pre- siding at the ceremony, and the native authorities do- ing their best to make the proceedings imposing. Troops and gunboats were posted around with the usual firing off of muskets and guns accompanied by gongs and crackers. The Commissioner, so far conformed to European Customs as to himself lay a piece of the keel, and he gave the ship the name of the ‘ ‘ Wan-nien- Tsing,” (the Ten Thousand years’ Tsing dynasty.) He then visited the machines which have lately arrived and were set in motion for his inspection. Afterwards he laid the foundation stone.

“...February 29 th 1S6S. SUPREME COURT & CONSULAR GAZETTE. 93 senseless opposition, obstructiveness, and competition of members of their own order. There have been men who have traded in every trea- ty-port of China, who have been the worst traitors to the common wealth, and might have been economically deported to Europe, with handsome pensions for the- rest of their unnatural lives, to be spent in the free and fortunate country of their birth. These we take to be the worst cases of the result of living in the bad atmosphere of crowded China. The narrowness of mind, the selfishness of spirit of these, wdiose motto is “neither live nor let live,” seem to show that some dead- ly Upas tree must distil its invisible poison out of that blue sky, which is the best thing to look at in this bright Celestial country. We see all these evil traits de- veloped in the natives around us, but there is more of agreement and average success to be met with amongst them than might be expected to come out of...”
