Kang Hi, and lately purchased for the British Museum, has been ransacked for information bearing on droughts and sun spots. These labours, therefore, bring this scientific theory, as it were, to our own doors. As has been shown in the case of India, so it is in China | a natural law seems to hare measured off with- never-failing regularity the droughts and famines which for ages have visited and desolated those regiona. We have neither space nor leisure, to enter into the elaborate details given by Mr Hosie in his valuable papers; but it should be mentioned that the natural Donclusion deduced from his figures is that China has bat entered upon a phase of calamitous famines which, unless provided against by every means which human skill and forethon. ht can devise, may during the next two or three decades, tax the strength of the Empire to the very utmost. -
