The principal difficulties will now nrise most probably on the score of the goods certificated being of foreign origin or not; and ample proof of the fact that they are of foreign origin, in all Cuses whore any doubt could be raised, ought to accompany all guoda which are intended to be convoyed in or out of the country under the new system.

The greater reason now exists, therefore, for that united action on the part of all the Consular officials representing the varions Western Powers of which we have already spoken. What the native officials are continually striving to accomplish is this, that the various Consuls (or, at Peking the several Plenipotentiarios) shall be constrained to take different views of whatever subject may be under discus- sion.

WHILE commenting some time since upon the Transit Pass system, which has been so mysteriously neglected in the South of China, we conceded the point that such objection would doubt- less be made to the introduction of the system by those provincial officials most likely to be affected by the change. There is not a stone which will be left unturned, or a corner for evnsion that will romain unoccupied, by those patient. and persistent plodders, to accomplish their own ends. But the defeat of all such tortuous and natural opposition is as certain in the South as it has proved to be beneficial in the North, if the Con-
suls at the various ports will but work together and keep the same common and in view. There are more than one difficulty at present in process of con- MAILS BY THE BRITISH PACKET. —
