After several weeks of travel and adventure my friend completed his business and started back, leaving bis purelmacs--worth a large sam of money-piled together in a Chinese village, covered with a taipaults and guarded only by a Chiness watchman, whom he had hired for the purpose. I should mention that all this while he had carried about with him the necessary parc sa money in silver dollars. He was travelling alone, among the Chinese, with a Chinese servant, and he said it was only while he was on the railway, and under the special escort of a guard of Russian soldiers, that he had any fear for his money or his life. Once back in Siberia, be went to the manager of the railway to enquire about the transportation of his purchases; and the Russian manager of the Russian railway advise him "as a friend" not to have the goods sent by rail, because they would probably be stolen. So they came by Loat, by Chinese boat, and not so much as a dollar's worth was missing.

He thought they should do away with the subsidy altogether; and in any case he could not see that the P. and O. Company had any joculiar claim on the consideration of the Goverment. Would any opportunity be given to other companies to make an offer?
During the debate on the Post Office voto Mr. Coldwell refered to the Indin and China mail contracts and the slow speed of the British vissels, The P. and O, he stated, had the slowest mail steamers going either to India, China, or Australia. The rate was 124 kuole, a slow speed which was altogether inconsistent with wedern requirements. It was much less then the German boats; and the reason was to be found in the fact that tho P.and O. Company obtained such a large subsidy from the Fest Ofee that they were able practically to drive erary competitie out of the field. Nearly 4 daya were taken to reach Peking, as against 10 days by the Eiberian Railway. This important mail service ought to be as speedy as any ervice starting from Germany, Aussis, or any other part of the Continent of Europe, Germany was our main competitor with regard to trade in Chiuo, and if she could send her lettere in 1 dass and we required 10 days it was obvious that this country was placed at a disadvantage.

Now though China is exceedingly weak, she is strong in comparison with Portugal. It surprises us not a little that Fortugal has been 10 audacions and China has been so silly as to accede to her demands. In the13thyear of Kwang Hen, China consented to the parmanant occupation of Maono and of its dependencies by Portugal.
