Consul; R.B. FORBES, Esq., U.S. Consul; and the other Foreign Consuls, Canton.\n\nGENTLEMEN,—At a Public Meeting held yesterday for the purpose of devising the best means of procuring specimens of the Produce and Manufactures of China, to be sent to the Exhibition of all Nations, to be held in London in 1851, a Committee of the following Gentlemen, the Honble Mr Edger, Mr Bush, U.S. Consul, Mr Stuart, and Mr Campbell, were appointed to do all that to them appeared necessary to further the objects for which the Meeting was held.\n\nThe Rules laid down by the Committee in London, require that a Central Authority in each country should be constituted by the Government of that country. As regards China, therefore, the Government of Peking would require to be applied to. This, however, would not in all probability lead to any satisfactory result, as the object would not be understood, and an application might even tend in some measure to defeat the efforts that may have to be made to obtain the specimens required.\n\nIt seemed therefore advisable to the Meeting, that a Central Committee should be appointed in this place, in order to conform as near as possible to the rules laid down in England, that that Committee should advise with the Committees which will be necessary to form in Canton and Shanghai, should correspond if necessary with the proper parties in London, and receive and forward from this, the articles that may be collected.\n\nWith that view the present Committee has been constituted, to be a connecting link and central point, and to assist as far as they are able in promoting the general object.\n\nIt is one in which nearly all nations are interested, and which they are expected to promote; it is one therefore, it is to be hoped, that will engage the attention of all in China, in which all will unite to carry out with energy, and if with combined effort, it will no doubt be effected in a manner worthy of the Foreign Community.\n\nWe cannot expect that articles will be forwarded by Chinese; we must therefore do so for them.\n\nPurchasers must be made and Committees will require to be appointed to make proper and suitable collections.\n\nThe Committee intend inviting parties here to put down in Paper the amounts they will guarantee towards the funds that may be needed; and should, after the sale of the articles in London, any loss occur, which is not likely, it will be divided proportionally to each, according to the amounts put down.\n\nThe Committee would recommend the same course to be followed at Canton, and the Manager of the Oriental Bank has kindly and liberally offered to advance the amount that may be thus guaranteed.\n\nAs the time now remaining for carrying out the objects we have in view, is very limited, you will no doubt agree with this Committee, that the measures that may be necessary should be adopted without delay; and although the aid and interference of Governments are purposely dispensed with, we would still hope that you will not object among your respective Countrymen, to assist in organising a plan with which all will be willing and anxious to co-operate.\n\nTrusting that the importance of the object we have in view will be a sufficient apology for addressing you on this occasion,—We have the honour to remain, Gentlemen, your obedient servants,\n\nFor the Committee,\n\nA. CAMPBELL.\n\nBRITISH CONSULATE, CANTON, 27th June, 1850.\n\nGENTLEMEN,—I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your favour of the 25th instant, and am much gratified to find that the Exhibition of the Industry of all Nations has excited so much interest.\n\nI imagine the official communications which have been made to Hongkong are from the Colonial Department.\n\nOur instructions have been received from the Foreign Office, through Her Majesty's Plenipotentiary, who has already, in conformity with those instructions, communicated with the Imperial Commissioner, as I have done with the local authorities, and with such other influential Chinese as are likely to assist in advancing our common objects.\n\nIn conformity with the directions I received to take such measures as I deemed most advisable for interesting both the British and the Foreign community, I requested all the Foreign authorities and Consuls with the leading merchants present in Canton, to assemble at the British Consulate on the 25th instant. The call met a universal and most cordial response. A large and influential Committee was immediately formed—various Sub-Committees were charged with the management of the details. I have reason to believe that the appeal for pecuniary co-operation will be liberally and even munificently met; and among the Sub-Committees is a Committee of Correspondence charged with the duty of communicating with the Committees of Hongkong, Shanghai, and any other localities with which it may be desirable to hold intercourse. I have the honour to enclose a copy of the proceedings for your information; and as your own views may be somewhat modified by what has taken place here, I am quite sure that your aid and co-operation will be highly valued.\n\nMr Forbes, who has most cordially lent his very valuable assistance, is now at Macao. The French, Dutch, Prussian, Peruvian, and Chilian Consuls are on the Committee, as is Dr Parker, the United States' Chargé d'Affaires. We cannot as yet say what amount of assistance we may derive from the Chinese, but we do not despair of some success among them, and have taken the necessary steps for that object.\n\nIn countries so remote as this, the mode of action cannot be strictly limited to the rules applied by our Government where Diplomatic relations are free and unrestrained, and where the disposition to co-operate is strikingly and so encouragingly manifested.\n\nI venture to anticipate that we shall be able to forward no unworthy contribution to the Exhibition, and I am sure that every favourable interpretation and every reasonable facility will await our combined exertions.\n\nI do not delay a post (not as the Chairman of the Canton Committee, but in my Consular capacity) in replying to your letter; and I can assure you that I shall be delighted to do every thing in my power in furtherance of a purpose nobly and generously conceived, and which ought to be carried out in the same spirit. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, your most obedient humble servant,\n\nJOHN BOWRING.\n\nA. CAMPBELL, Esq.,\n\nand the Committee at Hongkong.\n\nH.B.M. Consul\n\nCANTON, 7th June, 1850.\n\nSIR,—Your letter, dated 25th instant, addressed to Dr Bowring and all the foreign Consuls here, on behalf of the Committee formed at Hongkong for assisting the views of H.B.M.'s Commission for the Exhibition of the Works of Industry of all Nations to be held in London in 1851, has been communicated to us, and the letter which Dr Bowring proposes to write to you in reply will inform you how warm has been the interest exhibited here on the same subject at a Meeting held at the British Consulate on the 25th inst., when a Committee of Canton residents was formed and plans organised for the better carrying into effect the views of the meeting.\n\nWe would beg to refer to Dr Bowring's reply in which we fully concur, and hope an active and friendly co-operation of the Hongkong and Canton Committees, along with other Committees formed in other parts of China, will tend to offer interesting and complete contributions towards the realization of the grand plan in view.—We are, Sir, your most obedient servants,\n\nROBERT S. STURGIS, for R.B. FORBES,\n\nU.S. Vice-Consul\n\nROBERT BROWNE,\n\nH.B.M. Consul.\n\nH.G.T. REYNVAAN,\n\nVice-Consul de France.\n\nW.W. PARKIN,\n\nPeruvian Consul.\n\nRICHARD CARLOWITZ,\n\nPrussian Consul.\n\nTO\n\nArch. Campbell, Esq.,\n\nHongkong.\n\nPage 43",

I apply to Britannia, queen of seas and colonies, the words in which her latest novelist portrays his heroine: \"ake la as mild as she is game, and as game as she is mild.\" The English delight in the un- taganden which comhlars in one person the extremes of courage and tenderness. Nelson, dying at Trafalgar, sends his love to Lord Collingwood, and, like an inco- eent schoolboy that goes to bed, says, \"Kiss me Hardy,\" und turns to sleep. Lord Collingwood, his comrade, was of a nature the most affectionate and domestic. Admiral Rudney's figure approached to delicacy med effeminary, and he declared himself very sensible to fen, which he surmounted only by considerations of honour and public duty. Clarradan says, the Duke of Buckingham was so modest and gentle, that some com tiers altempted to put effrouts on him, until they found that this modesty and effeminacy was only a wark for the most terrible determination. And Sir James Perry said, the other day, of Sir Joha Franklin, that, \"If he found Wellington Sound open, he explored it; for he was a man who never turned his back on a danger, yet of that tenderness, that he would not brush away a Mon- quito,\" Even for tusir highway men the same virtues is elclmued, and Robin Hued tomes described to us an altissimus prædimum, the gentlest thief.

        "content_text": "# THE CHINA MAIL, To april 1875.\n\nThe argument on the rule Nisi in the motion of the plaintiff of the case of Chun Chew v. Vogel, to restrain the defendant from continuing the imprisonment of the plaintiff at Canton, again came on for hearing before Chief Justice Sir John Smale, and Mr Justice Snowden on the 30th of April last. His Lordship asked if any arrangement had been come to on the basis proposed at the last adjournment. The Hon. Mr Bramston, the Attorney General, who appeared for the defendant, said his client was perfectly willing to give security provided the other side gave security in equal amount. Mr Hayllar, Q.C., on behalf of the plaintiff, said he understood the arrangement to be that the defendant was to give security in $2,000 in this suit, and $3,000 in the other, and undertook to have the imprisoned man down here on Thursday, and inasmuch as that was not done, his client was not going to fulfill his part of the engagement. Mr Brereton denied that he ever made any engagement, either orally or in writing, that the defendant would get the man brought down here on Thursday. As there was no chance of an arrangement being come to, the Attorney General proceeded to argue against the injunction; but in the course of it, his Lordship again suggested a compromise by both parties giving security. Mr Hayllar would not consent to any terms except on the basis of the original undertaking. He did not ask for security from a factious spirit, but the Chinese insisted on it and had a reason for it. Mr Bramston then proceeded with his argument and read a portion of Mr Vogel's affidavit in which he denied the truth of the Hon'ble C. C. Smith's statement in his affidavit, saying he had never been to the Colonial Secretary's office on business and had never been even spoken to by the Honourable gentleman on the subject of this action. He thought Mr Smith must have mistaken a clerk of his firm for him. He also denied that he was responsible for the plaintiff's arrest and detention, positively asserting that he had never known the man or heard of him prior to his arrest. Mr Bramston proposed to read the German Consul's explanation, but the Chief Justice would rather not hear anything that was not strictly evidence, as the matter if proceeded with would most probably have to go forward elsewhere. He suggested that the Consul's statement be reduced to the form of an affidavit. After further discussion, in which references were made to the Prussian treaty with China and the translation of the Peking Gazette published at the office of the N. C. Daily News, Mr Hayllar said he would cite cases to show, when the trial came on, that the further detention of the man for even an hour longer was against equity and the conscience of man. Finally, at the suggestion of the Court, it was arranged to submit a proposition to Mr Vogel that he was to give security in $4,000 in the suit of Chun Shun against him, and $2,000 in the present action, be undertaking to do his best to get the man released by the Canton authorities; whilst Chan Shun on his part was to give security in $4,000 against the claim made by Mr Vogel or any such action he might bring against him. The hearing of this rule was postponed till to-morrow at 10 a.m. to enable the German Consul at Canton Mr Lueder, to file his affidavit, his Lordship expressing a wish for Mr Vogel's attendance in Court.\n\n[We publish a letter, from H.I.G.M. Consul at Canton, on this subject, in another column.-E. C. M.]\n\nPage 177\n\n## THE DAILY PRESS\n### HONGKONG, May 1st, 1875,\n#### THE ACTION FOR ALLEGED FALSE IMPRISONMENT IN CHINA.\n\nTO THE EDITOR OF THE “DAILY PRESS.”\n\nSir, Allow me to state in your columns the facts to which the report, inscribed \"Action for false imprisonment in China-Important Case,\" and published in the Daily Press on the 28th April, refers.\n\nIn the month of December, 1873, a claim was lodged at the Imperial German Consulate at Canton by the firm of Vogel, Hagedorn & Co. against the partners of the Chinese firm of Tekwo, formerly at Hongkong, on account of cash advances to the said firm of Tekwo against certain consignments of matting. The firm of Vogel, Hagedorn & Co. declared, producing the accounts of sale, that the firm of Tekwo was indebted to them, on account of short proceeds on the sale of the said consignments of matting, in the sum of $2,720; that the firm of Tekwo had been dissolved; that the partners had retired into the province of Kwang-tung; and that one of them, Chun-shun, residing at the village of Kaokong, was supposed to have taken with him from Hongkong the sum of $10,000. This action was handed over in the usual way to the Chinese authorities for the investigation and decision of the case. As the latter, after a long and protracted correspondence, finally replied that the debtors, who belonged to different districts, could not be found, and as there were indications that Chun-shun was at the time living at the village of Kaokong and had bribed the runners and officials in search of him, the Imperial German Consulate referred the case to the I. G. Legation at Peking. In consequence of this step, the Tsung-li Yamen issued the strictest orders to the provincial authorities to have the case in issue investigated and decided. In the month of February, 1875, the District Magistrate of Nam-hoi (Canton) informed me that Chun-shun, against whom proceedings were principally directed, had absconded from Kaokong; from other sources, I have heard that he fled to Hongkong—but that his paternal uncle, Chun Chin, had been arrested and conducted to Canton. On being examined, Chun Chin had deposed that Chun-shun, his nephew, possessed a house in the village of Kaokong. I distinctly called the attention of the District Magistrate to the fact that the firm of Vogel, Hagedorn & Co. had no claim whatever against Chan Chin, the uncle; but the Magistrate designated Chun Chin responsible as paternal uncle, according to Chinese custom; an expression meaning, as far as I understand, that the uncle was responsible for the appearance of his nephew, Chan Shun, before the magistrate.\n\nI acknowledged the principle that the question of whether the Chinese authorities were authorized in imprisoning the Chinese subject Chun Chin or not had to be decided by themselves according to Chinese law and custom; but I informed him that the prisoner was not detained at my instance.\n\nMr. Dennys, in the name of Chun Shun, asked me, both orally and in writing, to request the release of the prisoner from the Chinese authorities. I refused to do so, the matter resting entirely in the hands of the Chinese authorities, who would have been justified in declaring that the failure of their endeavours was to be attributed to my interfering with their part in the case. I guaranteed him that the action would be withdrawn at Canton, and consequently the prisoner released by the Chinese magistrate, if either Chun Shun, through Mr. Dennys, would and could prove, before me, that the action against him was unfounded, or a private settlement of the parties could be arrived at, or the amount of the claim, fees of court and lawyer, were deposited by Chun Shun in the Court of Hongkong. I added that this security was necessary before going to law at Hongkong, as Chun Shun's property was said to be in the province of Kwang-tung and not at Hongkong, and therefore a favourable judgment at Hongkong did not guarantee the payment of the claim and expenses. Chan Shun adopted neither of these three proposals.\n\nPage 597",

The F.O. will no doubt be able to verify the case quoted in Esch-14 in which the British Govt refused to receive British lunatic from Prussia.
