last fixes that 20 days, at the voyage to Amoy is longer it is scarcely credible on perusal that any court would allow it to be less than 7 days on the ground that it was not included in the Proclamation. But on this point we entirely differ and doubt on the matter hereafter, it would be desirable that Sir J. Bowring should issue a Proclamation, under the 3rd section of the Chinese Passenger Act, defining the length of voyages from Ports on the Continent of China as well as Hong Kong. And we would suggest the question whether in certain cases the proclaimed duration of the voyages should not be made to vary according to the season compelling a shipping Agent to pick on board during the favorable monsoon a quantity of provisions which could only be required during the unfavorable monsoon would be unnecessary in itself.
