VOLUNTEER CAMP.
Though not favoured with the ideal weather which prevailed on former occasions the Volun tem Camp, concluding to-day, has been very. successful. The programple of drills was abandoned during last week by reason of the inclement weather, but the time was not wasted, and other exercises are substituted for those set down in the regular courses. The wock dad was decidedly int peating The cadets, who are not so unmorous és last year, went over to catsp on Friday and mado considerable progress in signalling under their army instructor, Un Saturday the artillery companies had big gun practice from one of the heights on the island and acquitted themselves very well.

enormously the import, the drug being delivered by the Viceroy's own craft at the various ports, and the amount which in the previous half century had seldom exceeded 200 chests, last month rapidly rose to more than ten times that amount. To the British merchants on the spot especially after the opening of the trade, the improved demand came as a stimulant to the export trade, as it supplied the necessary funds on the spot to enable them to pay for their teas and silke. To the Chiness the enormous deve. lopment of the trade seemed dangerous, as it actually turned the "balance of trade" against Chins, and tales of the impoverishment of China through the export of Byces were current from all quarters.
It is noteworthy as indicating the artificial nature of the ontory, at the moral objection të the trade in all these complaints occapies but an infinitely small space, the issue dwelt on in all the memorials being that Chins was being empoverished by the export of silver. Thers ware two well defined parties of sonomists on the subject; the one headstrong and impulsive was for driving out the foreigner altogether and his trade. The more cautions, in view largely of the impossibility of preventing a smuggling trade springing up if the Government proceeded te extreme measure e, was for legalising the trafo under a regalar tariff. The Emperor sought the advice of his chief provincial officers. As often happens in such cases, the most extreme and virulent of these replies was accepted; and i anther, lin Tsest, viceroy of the Hakwang, who from his position in the heart of the empire was the least qualified from experienes to judge was ordered up to Peking, and thence sent as Imperial Commissioner with full powers to inaugurate the now departure.
