find that the mrst sincere reformers, and those
to whom the well being of the people was an
object of the deepest concern, should be found,
not amongst the young and ardent who were
just entering upon the duties of official life, but
we have reason to believe mainly in the higher
ranks and amongst those who have grown grey
in the service. Since the influence of Tseng-
Kwo-fan was exerted to upset that most Quixo-
tic of modern enterprises, the Lay-Osborne fleet,
we have been accustomed to look upon him as
the bugbear of progress and the most inveterate
of the old Chines*e conservatists in his hatred of
foreigners and foreign ways. The conduct of
government in his own provinces proves him to
be an able administrator ; while his attitude to-
wards the Government at Peking一at one time
bo foolish as to openly display its fear of the
captor of Nanking and final destroyer of the
Tai-ping rebellion—has throughout been one of
loyalty, if...”

rocks making it highly probable that,, from western
Sz'chuen to the Pacific, this foundation lies far below
the level of the sea. But if we cross the mountains
from the delta-plain to the highlands of Mongolia, we
find that the surface of the granitic substructure lies
everywhere above the sea, and probably nowhere at a
less height than 1000 feet. Were the limestone and
younger rocks-removed, the country would present the
appearance of a table-land ribbed with high N. E S.
W. ridges, and very similar to southern Mongolia if
we suppose that divested of it& lava beds.
Along the edge of the plain, the limestone floor of
the Coal measures rises abruptly from under the delta-
deposit, and forms, so to speak, the eastern facing of
these mountains. At the entrance to the Naukau
pass, the strata trend N. 60° E. and dij3 about 40° to
o. E. Five or six miles farther west, it is followed by
granite, and between these points, strike and dip...”

cupying synclinal fol(Js or valleys in the olde r
rocks. Of these basins Mr. Puinpelly describes
those of Wang-ping-Hien and Tang-shan-Hien,
West of Peking, and of Ping-tung-chow in
Sbajisi. Near the first of these, that of Wang-
ping, is the coal district of Chai-tang, on which
IVlr. Pampelly reported so far back as 18G4.
This district has lately been the subject of var-
ious communications, and frora its comparatively
ready means of access to the coast lias at
present a peculiar interest. Of one of the mines
in this district, the Futau mine, Mr. Pumpelly
reports the produce as being equal jf not super-
ior to the best Welsh variety. The seam, lie
states, varies from six to twehe feet in thick-
ness, averaging probably not less than seven
feet. Tke coal has a brilliant lustre * is made
up of well defined layers, and has a tendency to
a vertical fracture. It ignites quickly, burning
with a long flame and little smoke, aijd leaves...”

again from the notification. Besides, there was no
consideration for the guarantee.
Rev. Mr. Yates said that if five-hundred China-
men^ opinions were asked on the point, they would
be found to agree in the view he had propounded. He
thought that the right interpretation of tbe notifica-
tion quoted by Mr. Cowie was that the Consuls had
8〇 frequently allowed themselves to be out-soldier-
ed that they concluded they could do nothing in re-
gard to security cases; not that they considered the
bonds were invalid. He went on to say that Wy-jmng-
ciiang had secured the tenant; that the latter had not
paid ; and that lie (Mr. Yates) therefore looked to
W y-yung-chang.
Mr. Cowie here observed that it was scarcely fair
©nly to hear one side.
Dr. Jeneins said that Wy-yung-ch<5ng had been dis-
tinctly infomied that these proceedings were •eomiiig
on, and fckafc he must be present.

The Chairman read the Directors’ Report for the
half-year, and proposed its adoption ; which was second-
ed by Mr. Landstein and (as no testy shareholder ap-
peared to take exception or make any remarks) was
unanimously adopted by the meeting.
Mr. G. Heard proposed, and Mr. Lemann seconded,
that the appointment of Mr. Rowett to the Directorate
be confirmed by tlie shareholders, and confirmed it was
accordingly.
Mr. R. S. Walker next rose to propose a resolution
which he was sure would conduce to forward the in-
terests of the Bank, viz., that Mr. Belilios should...”

Mr. Hohing mentioned in our last : 44 Tlie Revd. A. 0.
Hohing, a member of the Protestant Episcopal Mis-
sion, was attacked by a mob in the city of Wuchang.
It appears that on the afternoon of the 10th of August
at 6 p.m. he and a Chinese minister, on their return
home, passed the parade ground, when they were sud-
denly approached by hundreds of military students,
assembled in that city on archery examination, and
whose boarding places are in its immediate neiglibour-
hood. These gentlemen began to hoot and throw
stones at Mr. Bolung, and tried to surround him ; all...”
