We think it desirable to make a few remarks upon a subject, which has hitherto scarcely re- ceived so much consideration as from its import- ance it deserves, namely the necessity for the exercise of the greatest circumspection, and the enforcement of the strictest regularity, in the registration of vessels. The rule with respect to British merchant vessels as contained in the Act is as follows: If any unqualified Person, except in the Case of such transmitted Interests as are herein-before mentioned, acquires as Owner any Interest, either legal or bene- ficial, in a Ship using a British Flag...”

“...114 SUPREME COURT & CONSULAR GAZETTE. March 21^ 1868 —not based upon a single good reason—that the Home market was unduly depressed and that a recovery would shortly take place—for- getting—or ignoring—that the inflated price was an impossible one in a trade expanded to vast dimensions, and savoured much more of one in its infancy, with its attendant facts, than of manhood with its equally patent character- istics of lowness of price, never absent from a large trade. We advised people to place the burden of holding the stock on the back of the native as much as possible, as by so doing he would be compelled to bestow more care on the firing and manipulation of his produce, than he now feels called upon to do, besides restricting the extent of his transactions and placing some limit on the supplies which he so readily and so abundantly brings forward. Had we now to write the history of the Tea markets from the date of our last article up to the present time, we could hardly say anything...”

“...March 21s/: 1868. SUPREME COURT & CONSULAR GAZETTE. 115 At this particular season of the year these matters are worth thinking over. Hard ex- perience ought to teach people pretty clearly the wise and sensible course to pursue. The experience of a year or two, however, had little effect upon the judgment, errors were repeated and re-repeated, and as the Trade at Home is even now changing rapidly, we are mistrustful of those who erred again and again with dan- gerous sanguineness, and do not feel confident that they can grapple with the gigantic occasion. Of one thing we are quite certain, viz. that there never was a time requiring more grasp of mind than the present. The value of Tea throughout Great Britain has so steadied down in all departments of the Trade, from the small provincial shop to the large London buyer, the scale of it further forced by licensed victuallers, the masses of England are now so used to buying sound servicable Tea at prices either Id. per oz. (at which a good...”

“...118 SUPREME COURT & CONSULAR GAZETTE. March 21st 1868 had prevented several fires from spreading to a disastrous extent. The nature of Shanghai risks had in fact been entirely changed since the Bri- gade became established, and they were such that they could be classed as the highest which the Company could obtain. For this change the sincere thanks of the Shareholders were due to the Volunteer Fire Brigade arid their able chief, Mr. Hayes, The Chairman was very sorry to have to report a heavy loss in consequence of the recent disastrous fire in Foochow. The loss to the Com- pany from this cause amounted to no less than Tls. 60,000 ; but he was glad to say that when the premia for this year were collected, the reserve fund of the Company would still amount to over Tls. 100,000, which was highly satisfactory. He regretted that in consequence of the fire in Foo- chow, an idea had got abroad that the China Fire Company conducted its business on too nar- row a basis for it to be paying; but...”

Gobazye has sent a friendly message to Sir obert Napier. The intelligence which has been received from the ortli since our last has been, as usual with Chinese formation, of a conflicting nature.
