We learn that it is in contemplation by Her Britannic Majesty's Government to do away with the Consulship at Cliinkiang, and to re- place it by an Assistant, acting under orders from Shanghai. Without entering into the motives which have induced this change we must say we cannot but feel regret that the step has been thought necessary, and hope that further consideration will enable it to be delayed, at least till the trade of the port has had a fair chance of recovering from the mishajps of the last fifteen years. In a recent number, we drew attention to the extraordinary depopula- tion of the...”

All these advantages are possessed by Chinkiang; a con- catenation of misfortunes has hitherto pressed heavily against the return of its prosperity ; but we believe an energetic Consul with the opportunities possessed by him of ready access to the higher authorities, could, by sage advice and counsel, advance considerably both local and general interests. In the paper which Mons. Simon contributed to the Asiatic Society, and which was read before the last meeting of that body, a subject of the greatest interest, as illustrating the peculiarities of Chinese life, was brought to notice, namely the prevalence of co-operative Societies in this country. We must confess to having expe- rienced some slight feeling of disappointment with regard to the paper, as we had imagined that some light would ha^ e been thrown upon those powerful organizations, the trading guilds, and also upon the other numerous combi-...”

“...May 23rd 18G8. SUPREME COU RT & CONSULAR GAZETTE. 225 Mr. Bonneville in reply said he could not add anything to the answer which on a previous oc- casion lie had given Mr. Bernard respecting this point, and read out from the minutes of the pre- vious meeting the note taken in the Council's book | upon which Mr. Bernard said there was an error m the statement contained in them to the effect that he had specifically objected to the sal- ary of the book-keeper ; he having only raised an objection to the employment of both book-keeper and Secretary. Mr. Bonneville, however, said that the minutes being signed by all the members of the Council in token of their accuracy must be held to be correct. There being 110 further questions suggested by electors, The Chairman said that he desired to take their sense upon the question whether a firm had the right to vote when all its partners were in- cluded on the voting list.

SUPREME COURT & CONSULAR GAZETTE. 227 On the Ningpo plain, ten mow of land will support, comfortably, a family of four persons—half an acre to a soul. China lias about 650,000,000 acres un- der cultivation (exclusive of the colonial possession.) Thus, due allowance being made for the less produc- tive regions, the Chinese Empire is capable of sup- porting a population of 250,000,000 more than it does now, and this at the rate of one acre to each person. But in the lecturer's opinion the enormous population of China is chiefly owing to the intense desire of the peo- ple for posterity, arising partly from the wish to pro- vide for old age, partly to the clannish feelings of the people, {their domestic habits, their social character, and, above all, to their views of the relations and obligations of the living to the dead—i e,, to ancestral worship. The simplicity of the mode of life of the masses of the people ; the paucity of domestic annimals...”
