powers analogous to those of a Consul, upon whose icts may in many cases depend the maintenance of peace, or the declaration of war. We do not reiterate the arguments already adduced and with . which the Anglo Chinese public are already tolerably familiar but contine our present remarks to drawing atter- tion to a fresh blow at the Waigo": Mr Jas. K. Leonant issues a notification under date of 5th ult, "for the Com- missioner of Customs" in which he sets forth that in consequence of represents. tions made by Merchants interested in the importation of Munitions of War ander License, to the effect that they are exposed to loss by the frequent "rejee- tion of part of their inportations by the Ars Agouts of the Native Autho rities, It is hereby untied, that if Importers will furnish the Commissioner of Customs with detailed lists of the description and quantity of rejected Munitions of War-being in their Go- downs, and will also give Bond for their non-removal without permission, every possible facility will be given to their realisation or re-exportation." blr Leo- nard further expresses a hope that these lists may be handed in to him before the let of September. This is very kind of Mr Leonard; and it is kinder still of Mr Hart to have directed, the issue of such a noti fication. Piece Goods and hardware will, of course, soon follow, and all the old obstructiveness will be swept away if the Commissioner be consulted, in place of the Consul, when dificulties arise, What does My Medhurst think of this, BONORONG, 2nd September, 1868.
