tion over India to the British Crown; but its exclusive right to trade with China was withdrawn so early as 1899. The troubles at Canton prior to the war are treated briefly but vigorously. Mr. Turner doos not disguise his conviction that the trade in opium was a smuggling trade, and be strongly protoses against the notion, or rather inaction of the British Govorument in not restraining its subjects who were engaged in this trade. There is another aide to this question, and to no one is it moro evident than to the able author of the essay before us. It will be dificult to convince the average Englishman that his Government is called upon to act police man for another Government, and it will be still more diffoult to induce in the minds of ordinary traders any respect for ediots issued by one set of officials only to be disregarded by another set. And on this point our author well says that the haughty, Arrogance of the Chinese character is a fatal defest neither local nor temporary, but has been displayed throughout all their intercour.e with foreigners,
The anti-opium policy of the Chinese Government is represented very clearly. Edicta from the Central Government which as often as they were issued were nullified by the inferior officials; occasional appeals to the moral sense of the traders concern ed; fulminations of wrath, at intervals, against the Chicose buyers; and finally the bold onslaught the stores of opiom in Canton,all this and more is given by Mr Turner with his usual, clearness and vigour.
Evidence was then taken. -
The first prisoner was found guilty, but the second not guilty, the indictment having been withdrawn against him. Son tence reserved.

We have five days later news from Sze-
chuen, to the 28th April, when the persecu- tions were still continning; several more into the river. The Tuotai, who has hither Christians having been massacred and thrown to done nothing to re-establish order, gave out on the 27th that he had ordered a sub. ordinate to put everything straight; but nothing has yet been done, nor has any pro- clamation appeared. Neither can much be hoped from the acting Governor; his want of sympathy with foreigners is too well known. So far, then, there is no sign of the authorities intervening to stop the persecu- tion; and the people are persuaded-proba- by with reason that the Mandarins favour the rioters.N. C. D. Necs,
