Roughly, it may be stated that for very on passengers a British ship may carry, a German is allowed to carry 130, and this from our own parts.

Cargo vessels are controlled in a manner still more detrimental to the British shipowner. He can only load his vessel until the is submerged as far as the limsoll mark. This is fixed on every British vessel's side, and the Board of

Shanghai, and formerly in Japan, the work possesses many features of more than average interest, but it cannot be said to have cast any great light upon the intricacies of the subjects it is ostensibly supposed to treat. The his torical portions, and the chapters dealing, with the general customs of the Chinese, are of such an ancient and well known character as to disarm anything in the nature of criticism, though the old, old truisms are re-told with fidelity and in some cases with commendable conciseness. The real object of the book is manifest, viz, to point out ways and mtate of expanding American commerce. in the great Celestial Empire. Mr. Jernigan does not hesitate in some of his more unwarranted firades in favour of American commerce and pashfulness, to mark the superiority of Manila and other Philippine Ports, to say nothing of the somewhat out landish Honolulu, over our own modest port of Hongkong as more convenient centres of dis tribution in the control of the Pacific Trade, That this is ever likely to come to pass, remains alas, fae gaudy foetus of his own imagination.
