But, Californian diggers and Cantoness rowdies aside, there is yet another way" in which the discovery of gold at Chefo may touch foreign society in Chinx more nearly. It is within the bounds of possi bility that we may see repeated in China the same state of affairs which provaited at Sydney and Melbourne during the great gold fever a few years ago. Not only did the unemployed rush off to make or nar their fortunes, but men holding good situations threw up all för the chance of sudden luck. Happily wo are not dependent upon European labou in the manual departments of employ pient, but mercantile clerks and subordi nate Government employés may yet be again at a prémiun ds in the good old days" when a five years' residence in China secured a competency, if unt a for- tune, for life. A temporary return to such a state of suciety is possible and, it may be, probable. But at least there are sufficient evidences that we are on the verge of some great changes to unke us, and all interested in China, watch with no small anxiety the course events in the North. Even the British Minister will possibly awake to the fact that something way happen and it theje, be no other resalt than this we shall have cause to feel deeply interested iu news from the Chiefoo gobl fields,
THE OPIUM SQUEEZE. Ws yesterday referred to some remarks which had appeared respecting the Chi- nese intention of establishing additional Custom houses on the mainland, and, as we still think justly, ridiculed the iden of our being able to interfere in the matter.
Au articla in our morning contemporary, however, gives the details of certain facts of so extraordinary a nature that (if it's statements be correct) we most heartily join in exposing and reprobating the illegal and impertinenti intention (to uso no stronger term) by which the Chinese Government must have been actuated
According to our contempomry thera is established in Hongkong au ngenvy <f the Canton Customs, which is empower- ed to grant for the sum of sixteen taals, a Customs permit for each chest of opiuri shipped for a treaty port from Hong- kong. This fast taken in itself merità no particular notice. If people like to pay half, the Custonus duties in Hong kong and the Customs like to collect it that is no business of any one's. Bui ads our contemporary, "any opium found on bourd any vessel will be confic- cated unless such permit (le, a permit from their agent in Hongkong) for it can be produced. The insolent import- nence which could attempt such a ragu- lation as a matter of law, and not of option, could be found nowhere but in China; and we do not wunder that the Chinese bure are becoming “afraid that the regulation will be extended to other We have bat oue word of goods. advice to give to any traders in opium or other goods-Defy the regulation aut try whether the Chinese Custumis will dare to carry out sa flagrant a violation of treaty rights. The instant extinction of Mr. Ho Alloy's office by His Exerl- lenoy the Governor, and a public meeting protesting in the most energetic and forcible terms against the supinenes which has tolerated its establishmout will, of course, follow the forcible expre sum by our contemporary. But in the meantime interested bystanders have heon afforded an amusing illustration of the depth of degradation into which th arrogant self assumption of the pig-tailes li idiots who hold the reins of power in China would attempt to plunge tha trading, interests of this Colony. The serery of the arrangement moreover challenges our adminition, while it ex- eftes our strongest indignation. That they should have successfully concealeJ the project from Fler Majesty's Consul at Canton, Mr Robertson, as well as from i| His Excellency the Governor, (for we vannot possibly presume them to ba aware of it) shews the astuteness of the Chinese. But it may serve to put
ou our guard against future schemes of a like nature. Either our contemporary has been egregiously misled or has ex- pused the most inwarrantable piece, ef Chinese insolence which has occurred since the termination of the war.
