"That in the opinion of this meeting, in view | of the recent terrible outrages in Kucheng and the previous riots and destruction of property in Sechuan, the reported demands of the British Government upon that of Chies are loadequate

We shall be glad to hear from our nautical readers, or others laterested in shipping, thel apletons on the vexed questions briefly referred to to the following clipping from the Japan Herald, adilly paper published in Yokohama:
Sailors are notoriously growlers, but one might have thought that the higher ranks of the mercantile marine were fairly well off, and certainly we should have thought that the English Merchant Service could not complain of being unduly domineered over by Government officials, and yet we see that they have a džis nofr, and that lathe Board of Trade.
