There would perhaps not be much out of the way in their asking for some addition to the import duty onopina, and they might have obtained it, had they made the demand in a straightforward manner, but instead, the attempt is made to arrive at this result by subterfuge, through which everybody (but I supplas Bir Thos.

On the general bear- ing of the Convention, they hold that the protection afforded by the 28th clause of
Tientsin treaty is quite sufficient to protect foreign trade, if the traneit-duva clause be carried out its spirit; and I think there can be very little doubt that
they are correot in this view.
The part which is being played in this matter, by Mr Thos, Hanbury, late of Shanghai and a member of the Society of Friends, is somewhat noticeable. What Interest he has in backing up the Chinese views is not very apparent, unless it be that he has a penchant for being an advocate of the Mandarins. It may be recollected that he made himself prominent in getting Chung How out of bis little dittioëlty in connection with the Tientsin Massacre," and

It is of course very tagnanimous to tell some une else to give up a revenue of £9,000,000; but the Indian Government will sosteely be inclined to accede to the wishes of the anti-opium people without seeing better reason than has yet been shown for doing so.
