Tiie comparative merits of European and Chi- nese Civilization have formed a fruitful source of disquisition; and opinions tlie most varied have been expressed upon the subject, according to the stand-point which has been taken by those who have written upon this theme. While some have been scarcely willing to admit thafc the Chinese are civilized at all, others have be- come so enamoured of wliat they have discover- ed, or think they have discovered, in this lmd, that scarcely any eulogies have appeared to fcheca too extravagant. This diversity of opi- nion has resulted, we think, from...”

The chief ele- ments of civilization in a nation as such may be looked for in its internal administration ; in its financial and judicial system, and finally in its military and naval power. In all these branches we find China to be lamentably beneath the lowest standard of Western nations. The internal a< I ministration is so weak and defective tliat discontent and rebellion have become the normal State of things in tbe Em- ;the finances are so badly managed that whole system can be regarded as little more than organised fraud; tbe administratioa of justice is a burlesque of all that, civilized na- tions hold most sacred ; the military and naval forces insufficient to suppress the most trivial out - break of popular discontent. Examples innu- merable might be given to shew that this is not an exaggerated...”

The gentleman in a public office is almost sure to be discontented if he be not apathetic. If he Las anything of ambition and activity stirring within him, he is too apt to compare his slow progress with that of men, not, as he thinks, more clever than himself, who have chosen a more independent career. In truth, one of the drawbacks to the efficiency of all de- partments of the civil service, as well as the chief cause of complaint araoim its members, is that promotion is too slow and too much independent of merit. If by a better :classifieat,ion tlie Sta{e could pu七 more zeal and working energy into its servants, the economical re- forms which Mr. Ciiilders advocates might be more easily carried out But at all events these twelve mil- lions of annual expenditure call for a far more thorough investigation than they...”
