The judgment in the case of Cowie & Co. versus D. Sassoon, Sons & Co” which appeared in our lasfc number, is of importance both in its direct bearing, and incidentally also in the statement of law which it contains. The attention of those who may be concerned in the management of joint stock companies or co-partnerships whicli would ordinarily be of tliis nature, is prominen- tly called to the necessity of their being upon their guard against making advances to the concern, if they are at tlie time shareholders in it. To the elaborate statement of the Law as laid down by the Chief Judge, little can be added...”

If such a reform can ultimately be worked, there will be an end of rebellion in China, as, except when exasperated by oppression, the Chinese are not naturally inclined to war ; but on the other hand, it is- certain that so long as corruption and venalityjcontinue, so long will rebellion exist with all its attendant evils and misery.

“...Ma，y 2nd 1868. SUPREME COURT & CONSULAR GAZETTE. 1S7 Court Hankow, and were duly adjudicated Bankrupt a ou the 1st July. fPlie course of business between the Defendants and the Bankrupts appears to have been something of this kind. When the Bankrupts purchased produce at Hankow they drew against it oil tlieir correspondents at Shanghai and elsewhere, and handed to the Bank, who bought their Drafts, the shipping documents for them to hold until acceptance and payment by their constituents of the bills so sold. The produce of these bills was placed to the credit of the account of the Bankrupts in the Books of the Bank. It appears also that the Bankrupts’ constituents at Shanghai and else- where, were in the habit of consigning goods to the Bankrupts at Hankow ; drawing and sending through the Bank bills in respect of them for their acceptance ； the Bank holding letters of hypothecation, the goods thus standing as regards the parties sending them as security for acceptance ancl payment of...”

Lt appeared tliat Manilla hemp is divided into several kinds or qualities, and that the hemp in question, if it had been in good condition, would have been of fair current quality, [t was not so far damaged as to lose the character of hemp, and, being sold by auction, it fetched 75 per cent, of the contract price which similar hemp, not damaged, would have’realized ; and, as the market price had risen, this was not very much lower than the contract price. On tlie other hand, the buy- er, the plaintiff, of course, lost to the extent of the dif- ference between the market price at the time of ar- rival and the price realized by the re-sale, and he ac- cordingly brought this action on au implied warranty that the liemp should be ...”

In justice to ourselves, we are desirous of making the following statement of facts : The merchandise which is described in Sir Ruther- ford Alcock’s despatch as a chop of Tea, and. in Prince Kung’s communication as 591 loads of Tea, was uofc ours, but the property of a Chinese constituent. It formed a portion of 1232 baskets, weighing pels. 887, shipped per J/irado at Hankow on 2nd May 1866. It was not ‘‘dust ’’ in the literal sense of the word, nor yet was it Tea 茶蕉 (Cha’ 6p) as enumerated in the Tariff. It was, however described, to the Customs authorities at Hankow by its true denomination in Chinese (the character for which we have not at our command at present.) Its value in .July 1866 was Tls. 4 per picul (or considerably less than the value of Tea dust), and the market to which our Chinese con- stituent was desirous of shipping it was Tientsin.

The utmost that should be done in this matter is to make the examination only such as can be passed by an or- dinary man devoting a reasonable portion of liis leisure time to the study of Chinese, subsequently^ to the in- timation in the despatch, from Mr. Hart being received; if indeed it might not be held that, except iu extreme cases, the regulations should not be made retrogressive at all.” In the Hongkong papers we notice a very similar expression of opinion. Tlie China Mail says : “ It is impossible for Foreigners to watch without anxiety the gradual change which is creeping over the constitution of the Imperial Maritime Customs in China. Much has been said and written about the policy pursued by Mr. Hart, whether considered as regards the personnel of the 4 4 service/5 of which he is the ostensible head, or as regards the ultimate objects he may have in view as regards the Chinese...”

There was a rumor current in to wn yesterday, that the rebels were return- ing into this province and of course business in imports was at once affected by it. To-day being a wet day, nothing is doing by the traders. It is quite impossible to move about the streets. I trust it will not prove true that the rebels are returning from Honan, but both from the yainuns and the trading people the re- ports have come to us in the settlement of their re- turning.
