In some instances but a slight detention has been experienced, in others I need not gay release has been obtained only by Consular intervention, while there have existed those in which the
detention has been so protracted as to become practically confiscation.
Morepver, Chinese have been seized and im. prisoned solely for being in charge of foreign owned merchandise, boatmen being warned that by transporting such merchandize they will become involved in trouble with the likin or other offices.

The bride's a This action, which appears to be entirely out- oly heart-rending, and deep were the lamenta- side of all treaty regulations, is such as to render ions over the injuries done to valuable shrubs it quite impossible for the foreign merchants to ind irces in the private gardens. It was also depend on the completion of contracts within pitiable to see the number of grand firs which any specified time, if at all, and not being sub-rnamented the hills lying prostrate, eprooted ject to recognized rules is liable, if not resisted, as they had been by the force of the wind. to indefinite expansion, to the increasing incon venience of merchants, and even to the ruin of the foreign trade of this port;
•
Nor is it only interference with trade at the moment of export or import of which foreign merchants have to complain; obstacles to transit pass privileges created by likin officials are such as to render any trade of moment under the
· transit pass syslėm practically impossible.
The stamping of passes presented at stations en route is delayed or refused; owing to the intimidation of boatmen it is difficult to find the
means of transporting cargo; and it is threatened that where the impediments are overcome merchandise will be followed to its destination and likin there levied in addition to the transit dues already paid,
As far as regards the landing and shipping of merchandise at the present moment the obstruc tinn to which I refer is less pronounced than has been noticed in the past, and it appears that at ahy momcat diffulties may again arise and with even more serious consequences than those hitherto experienced.
To make a detailed statement of cases now would be to trouble you to little purpose..
My object is to bring to your notice the fact that the foreign trade of the port is subject to systematic obstruction, and I have the honour to ask that you will be so good as take such action as you may consider desirable in the circum- stances.
There, is one other subject to which I would draw your attention before concluding.
Foreign merchants and the likin and other officials do not appear to be agreed as to what should be regarded as the "limits of the port of Canton," 1 would submit that such limits may reasonably be taken to include that part of the river from the Whampoa anchorage upwards to Canton, the city and suburbs on both sides of the river, and the adjacent anchorages.
If this view be correct, I venture to suggest that much friction would be avoided by an an nouncement on the subject to officials concerned
in the collection of taxes..
Trusting you will deem the foregoing worthy of your carly consideration,
I have the honour to be, Gentlemen,

We have had worse typhoons--that in 1860 was certainly worse-but never before in the memory of the oldest resident has the damage to property generally been so great and wide. spread. In spite of the precautions taken during the day the havoc amongst the boats on the river was very serious, the heaviest sufferers here being Messrs. Fiedgo & Co., a number of whose cargn boats got severely damaged. Those if the residents who went to their offices yester day morning could only compare their progress to their experiences in obstacle races; fallen trees had to be negociated, the barricades of debris from fallen houses in the streets had to be climbed over, and streets in a flooded condition. had be waded through.
Accounts continue to seach us as we pote press of tenible loss of life both on shore, and on The river, and many disasters in addition in those enumerated above come pouring in. An Express informs the public this morning that the typhoon has seriously injured the Sharp Peak land line, and notifies that until it is repaired a sampan will leave Foochow daily at noon to carry message? to that station; also that a sarupan will be dis patched daily from Sharp Peak. So the commar- nity will have to exercise patience unless they suggest, as we think it likely, that a sten launch should be employed on this business instead of a sampan. Rain continued to fall ali yesterday and the glass did not show with certainty that we were quite free from typhony influences, but this morning breaks with a risen barometer and there is every appearance of settled weather again. We trust it may be long cfore we have to record such a chapter of misfortunes as befell us on Thursday night.
