A case of the greatest interest to tlie shipping and mercantile community has been decided in England. The facts were as follows :— The vessel, which was built m January, 1864, at a cost of 33,000/-., was insured in January, 1867, in se- veral policies—of which this was one—to the aggregate amount of 36.000/., the value being stated in the po- licy at that amount, though, in point of fact, it was only worth 20,000/. It was sent on a voyage to Odessa and on its return with a cargo of grain worth 34,000/. it met with a storm in which it was thought necessary that the crew should leave her (off the coast...”

June 13th 1868. see how the question of a commercial sense of the ship being worth repairing ought to enter into the consideration of what a prudent owner would or would not do. If by laying out XI0,000 he could bring up the vessel to the value of £20,000, a price which she would cer- tainly fetch if put up for sale, it was clearly his duty to expend this sum upon her, and equally the duty of his insurer to provide it him plus perhaps the estimated loss of interest and profit while the vessel was being repaired; but an owner is clearly not entitled to convert a partial loss into a constructive total loss simply be- cause with reference to commercial considera- tions of profit and loss, lie might be disinclined to repair, the only question between him and his insurer being whether the cost of the repairs would be greater than the value when repaired. The question, however, is one of considerable nicety, and we see by the report that it will in all p...”

The following passage will give some idea of the quaintness of Chinese notions on this subject. In establishing a ritual-etiquette, the noble and the ignoble receive their appropriate rank ; but in uniting all by means of music, concord between the higher and lower classes is produced. It is by the manifestation of liking for what is good, and aversion toward what is evil, that a distinction is put between the wise and those devoid of wisdom : it is by chastisement that a restraint is put upon the oppressor ; and it is by rais- ing the meritorious to dignities, that an equitable ad- ministration is indicated. It is by benevolence that the ruler produces reciprocal affection, and by justice that he corrects all impropriety. Thus it is that good order is to be carried out among the people of the na- tion.

The Keport shewed that the only point which required looking to was the in- ternal organization, with regard to which some questions had been raised, but in this the present Trustees were bound by the act of their predeces- sors, which placed the whole of the management with the Sisters of Charity, an arrangement which could only be terminated by twelve months' no- tice. These ladies had managed the Hospital very satisfactorily, and he thought there was very little reason to desire a change. In order to satisfy the members of the Consular Body, who had consider- able interest in the working of the Hospital with reference to the sick from ships which they sent there, a resolution would be put before the meet- ing, to the effect...”

“...258 SUPREME COURT & CONSULAR GAZETTE. June 13 th 1S6S. With respect to the Commission's suggestions, bearing upon the internal economy of the Hospital, (to which their remarks are mainly directed,) the Committee cannot refrain from observing that such points cannot be treated with fair or impartial criticism without re- ference to the financial position of the institution. So far, however, as these suggestions point to a possible retrenchment of expenditure by a reduction in the pre- sent staff, they are valuable, and will meet with the consideration they deserve. The Committee take this opportunity to tender their thanks to the three Medical Gentlemen, who have con- ducted this enquiry ; and of expressing the hope that a more cordial support, especially on the part of the foreign Treaty Consuls, will be extended to an institu- tion, upon which the Community of Shanghai have expended a large amount of Capital, and which the Committee believe to be one of usefulness in the settle- ment....”

A general meeting of members was called to discuss the subject, and at the meeting resolutions were passed embodying the opinion of this Chamber, that the system is one which is injurious to the trade of the Colony.

“...262 SUPREME COURT & CONSULAR GAZETTE. June 13 th 1S6S. COL. FYTCHE'S EXPEDITION. (Hongkong Daily Press.) We published yesterday a remarkable article from the Saturday Review, concerning the commercial geo- graphy of Western China. An interesting sketch was given of the attempts which have been made to open up a route into the Chinese empire from Birmah, be- sides an explanation of the circumstances which led to the expedition under Col. Fytche, the object of which is to ascertain the possibility of establishing communi- cations between Bhamo on the Irrawaddy, and Talifoo in the province of Yun-nan. The Saturday Review deeply deplores the abandonment of Capt. Sprye's project for the construction of a railway between Rangoon and Kiang-hung, (also in the Chinese pro- vince of Yunnan.) Whatever may have been the t chances of this undertaking, which appears to have been found quite possible as far as the route was sur- veyed, the object which the Saturday Review appears to think it would have...”

Had Macclesfield any memory it would remember that its.prestige as a manufacturing town had evaporated long before the French treaty was dreamt of. A Mr. Brocklehurst, who spoke the other day in the rooms of the Society of Arts, urged govern- ment to support the school of design at Macclesfield, as one means of reeuscitating the silk trade there. Being practically acquainted with the silk trade,- Mr, Broc- kkhurst ought to show that the school of design there had no influence or power to retain the trade, and ne- ver will have any power to restore it, unaccompanied by the higher training to which we have referred. And if that were established, then every manufactory would become a training academy, a techical universi- ty, over which as the best trained, best disciplined, and most intelligent, the head of the firm should pre- side as perpetual principal...”

Much in- terest has been shown in the clipper ships this season, and rarely has such a fine fleet been seen in these wa- ters. The "Titania " and "Leander" have received £5 Sterling per ton, other ships £4 10s. only. The ves- sels have been much commented on, and the decision of the public has naturally been in favor of the yacht- like "Titania," with the "Leander " as a good second.
