Sir Rutherford Alsock, in his evidenco before the Salest Committee on East India Finance, which has just been printed, given the follow. ing explanation of the eireumatarices under which Prines Kong addressed to him on lear ing China the often quoted observation, hope you will take away your opium and your misionaries." Being asked whether Prineo Kung really did thus express his wishes, Sir Rutherford replies:-
"Yes, but it did not quite sogar in that way, He came with the other Miniature to take leave of me ne a matter of courtory, and naturally he referred to all the diensions which we had had
in the revision of the treaty; and, as we had
