The course of recent events in China, the rapid spread of Rebellion in all directions, the panic which arose in Pekin, the acknowledged di伍cul- ty with which the insurgents were driven away from the neighbourhood of the sacred capital, where, secluded from the vulgar gaze of men, the Son of Heaven rules supreme over this vast, but unhappily disorganised, Empire, have called attention to some ugly considerations which, the well wishers of the present dynasty would fain eee kept in the back ground. It would, how- ever, be worse than idle to ignore the instability which menaces the throne and tlie difficult...”

The conviction lias been forced upon the minds of all thinking men that into sucli another state has China fallen. The enormous sums derived from foreign trade have hitherto only sufficed to keep up the balance of parties. In the centre and southern provinces, the Tai- ping Rebellion became a war of extermination, and whole provinces, as stated before in these columns, have almost returned to a state of na- ture. In the north a similar result seems not far distant...”

It may perhaps be that in the former objection there is some weight, but we believe before long the fallacy of the latter idea will be com- pletely exposed. If we look at the extreme development of the principle of competition as shewn in some American enterprises, which are carried on often only with the avowed object of knocking an antagonist out of the field, with the ulterior view of making the public pay both for the loss thus sustained and the cost of the ac- commodation afforded so soon as a monopoly is obtained, we can see very clearly that the public is by no means so great a gainer directly as is commonly supposed, while the indirect evils which are worked by the fluctuation thus occa- sioned are extremely pernicious to the public interests. In enterprises of a very large and .entended nature the public gain most advantage by the working of another principle, to which perhaps too little attention...”

His Lordship.—It lias now come out that Mr. Cowie was a shareholder. He could .not sue as a partner, and the question was whether he was. still responsible. The facts could only be ascertained from Mr. Cowie. Mr. Harwood referred to Sir J. Perryn, Skaw and Barber v. Hone, L.'Jl. 5, p. 33, in which the plaintiffs, who had bought shares and tried to get rid of them, con- tended that they were not partners, as they had not signed the partnership deed, but they were held liable as partners. He held that notice of the transfer should have been given to all tlie partners, and quoted Lindlay on Partnership, 226, and the case of Waters v. Taylor, Tudor’s Cases，333. He considered that there was clearly no claim for Tls. 3,909, which it was ad- mitted had been contracted while the plaintiff was partner. Mr. Myburgh in reply...”

Mr. Mitchell, in tlie absence of Mr. Harwood, for the Bankrupts. This was an adjourned first meeting of creditors. None appeared. The official assignee reported that be had been informed that the Banks in Hongkong had abandoned their intention of appealing against the decision of the Supreme Court of that colony, adjudi- cating the firm Bankrupt. He also stated that he un- derstood a Deed of Transfer and Release had been executed by several of the creditors, but that the Banks were delaying or had refused to give their as- sent to such Deed. The only course he could suggest, under tlie circumstances and in the interests of the Bankrupts and of the creditors at Shanghai, was to continue the proceedings in Bankruptcy and to appoint a day for the last examination. The Chief Judge observed that the proceedings of the Banks in Hongkong...”

The prisoner and another man were quarrelling in the forecastle. I was there. I got the other man out. Tlie prisoner was lying in liis bunk. The other man we called Peter. I took the other man out because they were going to fight. The prisoner was not drunk and not sober. The pri- soner was well enough to know what he was doing. I spoke to the prisoner when I came back. He was calling me names when I came hack, and I asked him to stop； I said nothing else to liim. He ought to have known who I was. I was standing about four or five feet from the bunk, and he got out and rushed at me. He had a row with the other man, which I suppose was the cause of his calling me names. I was laid up seven weeks with the wound in my leg. The other wound was not dangerous. I came from America in thez Kadosh with this man. He was a quiet man on board. I had never had any quarrel...”

The services of the Directors had hitherto been paid only at Tls. 5 for each Board meeting, and the present was a very appropriate opportunity for in- creasing this fee, as such a step, in addition to be- ing just in itself, would tend to allay any doubt on the part of home policy holders as to the entire confidence of the Shareholders in their present Directors. No doubt a great deal was due to the Secretary, but even liis ability and energy would not have produced the satisfactoryjresults now ex- isting without the able supervision and manage- ment of the Board of Directors.

It was first announced that the resolution was lost by one vote, and Mr. Brand suggested that perhaps it might be done in a quieter manner if Mr. Carter was agreeable. Mr. Carter.—I am not agreeble (laughter). It was here suggested that votes should be taken by standing or sitting. Mr. Oweraveg.—Would it not be well that the Directors voted too ? Mr. Maitland preferred Mr. Brand’s sugges- tion. Some notice must be taken of the matter, but it should be done in the mildest form.

Hornby enquired whether the Directors had been authorised to close the business at tlie other ports. The Chairman explained Uiat this had been done in virtue of a resolution at the previous meeting. Mr. Brand then proposed the following amend- ment, which was seconded by Mr. Iveson. That the business of the Company be continued as at present, accepting no risks extending beyond 31st December, 1868, and that a Committee be appointed to dispose of the business to a new Company or any office prepared to take it over. Mr. Overweg said that after what had trans- pired as to the views of the Company, he hardly thought it was possible they could obtain risks. There was no question that from tlie discussions which had taken place, the Company stood bad- ly with the public. The Chairman said no doubt from what had...”
