In the course of his exhaustive report on the trade of China during 1876, Mr Hip- pinley, the acting Statistical Secretary to the Chinese Customs, devotes a consider able space to remarks on the production and consumption of native opium in China. Perhaps no person in China is in a better position to deal with this subject generally than Mr Hippisley, and therefore his observations under the head of "Native Opium" are of special value. Mr Hippisloy, after making a few remarks on the history of the drug points out one very important fact, naine ly, that in face of the edicts, issued from time to time from the throne, threaten ing with severe penalties both the grow era of opium and the officials who con- nive at its cultivation, the export of the drug is actually carried on under official has informed the Grand Vizir that Russia regulations.

THE only telographic advices worth repro- duding from the Straits Times Extra brought by the French Mail to-day are the following:--
London, Dec, 21.-The proposal made by the Forte to the guaranteeing Powers for mediation has failed, the basis being con sidered inadequate. The German Ambassa- dor at Constantinople recommends that Turkey should negotiate directly with Rus- sia, Adviocs from the seat of war state that snowy weather and thick fog prevent any operations of belligerents in the Bal- kans.
