The CHAIRMAN moved That the so- count for the year 1884, apponded to tho. report, bo scoopted and passed"
Mr. MICHAELIEF seconded, the motion, and it was carried.
The UBATEMAN-The only other business of the eating is the election of a Committee. There are just the number required for the Committee who have consented to serro; there- foto it simply requires a formal alotion of them. as they stand.

The CHAIRMAN sald-Gentlemen, there is quoram present; but before wo go on with the regalar business of the meating, I should like to allude to a subject which I have no doubt To have all thought a great deal about. I mean the suddon and unexported-death of Sir Harry Parkea. What ho has done is known to the world; it is a matter of history.
The satimation in which he was held by his Government was shown by the promotion from cus-parition to another-and-that-be- wns- always tcceptablo to the communities among whom he was placoil is shown by the regrat of those whom he left. I hare known him for thirty years; and I have never heard but one opinion of him both in his official capacity and in his pri- vale life; he was a freak, cordial, generons and- hearty friend. And as Eir Harry Parkos always bad the occamernial informate of China at heart, it is our duty to take some publio notise of the loss which has been sustained by his dasth. I beg to me
That this Chamber, composed of emombors of vacions nationalities, and representing the man cantile commanity of Shanghai, haf heard with foolings of the deepeateegret the end tidings of the death of Sir Harry Parkes, K.C.B., G.C.M.G. H.B.M.'s Envey Extraordinary and Miniator Plenipotentiary in Peking, belloving as they do that the loss is one which will be felt in all re lations between foreigners and Chinase, and particularly so at the present time. Further be It resolved that the expression of the sincere sympathy of the Chamber be conveyed to his family."
Mr. HEAEN seconded the rosolution. The Secretary then road the notice calling the meeting.
The CHAIRMAN--Gentloreen, I did not expect to have the honour of addressing this meeting, because I expooted to be on my way home; but I am unfortunately, so far as I'm concerned, in the position of having to address you at a short notice. There is nothing to call for special ro- mark that I am aware of. The report has bee in your hands for some days, and there is no thing that I osa think of beyond what is in the report; bat if there are any questions to ask I shall be very happy to anavar them.
No questions were asked.

2011 March. Things continuo quite quiet in this city: For a few days after the uws of the first attack on Chinbai reached us, there was considerable er- citament among the people. The wat so long contemplatad from a distance seamed to be draw ing unpleasantly near their own homes. Bat after waiting a few days and wearing of ao for ther damage, they began to grow quiet, and to comfort themselves with the thought that the French, though very dangerous on the water, dare not come on shore. ""Witoess," they say, “their action-at Foochow and at Formosa, and now at Chinhat. They cannot come ashore, and we hare, at least, are safe" Notwithstanding this general faeling of security, however, it is reported that gun have been mounted on the towers over the gatas on the side of the city next to the river.
There is much earplaint among the people of falling-off in trade, especially in silk, on account of the “rebellion," as they designate the war, and many have been thrown out of work in con magdonce of it. They are inclined to lay the blame of this on foreigners Indiscriminately. Bat the missionaries living here have had no cance to complain of rudo treatment by the people, unil thory has been as interruption to mission work so far. Sometimes rade people try to annoy me in the street chapels, by asking why it is that we do not have the people who are in rebellion" sent away from them. But it fre qnently occurs that some are in the audience will speak in our defence, and say, "That are Lere to preach, and have nothing to do with the war," or "They belong to one of the good na tions, England, Germany, or the U.S.A."
