(Continued from yesterday.) Ata meeting on 9th August the following rosolution was passed: "That this Charaber desires to record its appreciation of the Gibson in bringing about a settlement in November last of the wrongs inflicted upon British subjects by the Chinese officials at Taiwan and its neighbourhood and of at length placing our relations with that part of the Empire upon a satisfactory footing."

The Honourable Mr. Taylor in his specoli. proposing this resolution fully set forth the services rendered by Mr. Gibson, which included the landing of an armed naval party at Amping The Foreign Office severely reprimanded Mr. Gibson, and this, dowing on the top of ill-health caused by the exertions and worries endured, altimately caused his death. Mr. Gibson died at Amoy on the 28th July, 1869.

The British Community thoroughly appreciat sd the great services rendered by Mr. Gibson in protecting the lives and property of British Subjects in Formons, and as no other. means were then unhappily open to them to mark their appreciation the aboto resolution was placed on record in the Minute Book" with a view to doing some justice to his memory."

In September a resolution was passed with a riow to extending tho membership of the Chamber to all mercantile firms and persons on gaged or interested in the trade of China. The Annual Subscription was then Bred at $50 for Arme and $15 for individuals.

A recent discussion in Parliament on Chine affairs was referred to at this meeting when reference was made to the "retrogressive policy towards China adopted by the British Govern ment." The discussion was charactorized as being most disappointing and unsatisfactory.

In quarters where correct information might reasonably be isoked for the gross est ignor Innes" was displayed, and the advantages to be" derived from an extension of our commerce were "wholly ignored. After 40 years these state merte unfortunately still hold good to an alarming extent.

The question of trade on the Upper Yougtze and the merits of the West River were discussed, and it was decided to draw up a letter explaining the subject of our commercial relations with China, this to be circulated to the principal Chambers of Commerce in order to make the qucation fally understood and to obtain the speedy redress for existing complaints.

Arrangements were subsequently made with Mr. J. C. Whyte, Barrister-at-Law, to draw up the latter:

Farly in the year 1870 this letter was com- pleted and despatched to the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs (The Earl of Clarendon). who in the opinion of the Hongkong Community was entirely indifferent to the prosperity of Hongkong and its residente, and this appears to have influenced Sir R. Alcock in drafting the new treaty. A letter was addressed to the British Ministér, asking for an interview, which was granted. This meeting was arranged for, and simultaneously a lore and influential meet ing was held in St. Andrew's Hall, at the City Hall, on 3rd January, 1870, at which nearly 70 people were present, when some very strong remarks were passed-adverly criticising the proposed treaty and the attitude of the British Officials with rozard to the Colngy. A résolu tien remonstrating against the ratifioution of the proposed treaty was passed and a Committee was appointed to drow up a me morial to HM. Government setting forth the reasons for this remonstrance. The memorial was duly passed at the half-yearly meeting held on the 14th January.

About this time Mr. Michael Moss proposed to make an expedition into Southern Chins, mora particularly along the course of the West Biver and report to the Chamber with a view to finding new channels for trade.

4.

At the same meeting a grant of $500 was made towards the expanse of printing Bar n Von Richthofen's work on China, and ro ference was made to the defectire and entirely inadequate Fire Brigade. A protest was also made during the year against the with drawal of the dollar note which had been first issued by the Hongkong and Bhanghai Bank in 1872, under agreement with the Government.

Daring 1874 the Government asked the opin ion of the Chamber as to the desirability of od mitting the American trade dollar and the Japanese yen to oireulate as legal tender in the ars. There was a good deal of difference of opinion among the members on this question, and ultimately it was decided to request, the Governor to communicate with the Home Au- thorities of the mint and ondeavour to arrange for the coinage of a suitable dollar for the Colony, The question of the blockade of Hongkong by the Hoppo's vessels was again very fally dis cussed at a meeting in August of this year, as, emboldened by previous successes, the Canton Officials were now stopping all janke entering and leaving the harbour, colketing duer not only on opium but on all other argo. This not only on jonks bound to and fro butween the Colony and Canton, but also on vessois coming or going between Hongkong and distant ports far removed from the Hoppo's jurisdiction. Elven fishing and vegetable bents were over- landed and compolled to pay dues, while the Hoppe's vessels not infrequently collected those taxes actually in the waters of the Colony

The complaints became so numerous that the Governor appointed a special: Commission to enquire into the matter, a member of the Con mittes of the Chamber being invited to a seat on the Commission.

Contrary to expectation, however, the Governor declined to furnish the Chamber with a copy of the Commissioner's report. The Committee therefor decided to draw up Secretary of State pointing out that the trade memorial to the of the Colony was being killed by the bookade, that the Imporial guarantee given to the Colony as to freedom of trade was not falfilled, the Government at Home to this most serious and complaining of the atter insttention of situation.

COST OF BEPAIRS ESTIMATEN AT TEN THOUSAND STERLING

The E. and A. liner Eastern, which was ground on Sulamander Hank, Moreton Bay, for ten daya, was fented into dock.yesterday, says the Brisbine Courier of February 10. The principal damage is on the port side of the keel, involving the whole of the bottom plating, which is more or less corrugated, from about the fourth hutch to abaft the engine-room. side of the vessel is damaged, having evidently. The whole longth of the rolling chock on each soted as a buffer and prevented further damage. Experts considor that the strength of the ship was her salvation, and those who examined her were agreeably surprised to find that the damage was comparatively speaking, so little. It is reported that only one rivet was leaking badly, and that was in a task. Captain Taylor stated that it was impossible at present to fully estimate the cost of repairing the ship, but he was of the opinion that expenditure of about £10,000. The ship would have to remain in deck about six or seven weeks, unless overtime was worked. It is stated that there is now nothing to prevent the Eastern from proceeding to her repairing port, which, in this case, in Sydney:

After long discussion it was agreed to forward the memorial to the Secretary of State.

Judging from a statement mide later by the Governor (Sir A. Kennedy) in the Legislative Council, it was hoped some little good had resulted from the agitation, but the Chamber did not ondore all the suggestions made by the Governor, and a fetter to this effect was sent to the Secretary of State,

The year 1876 was another uneventful one. fow questions of any importance coming up for consideration, while no progress was made in dealing with the Blockade, in spite of the efforts. of the Chamber to put a stop to the illegal levies on goods arriving at and leaving the Colony.

The question of a propor coinage for Hong kong again arose during 1677, sa monch incon ventence was oxperienced in carrying on the trace of the Colony owing to the large propor tion of "Chopped dollars," which necessitated the waighing of all coin rassing hands, p

In the earlier days of foreign trade with South China the Carolus," or "Pillar" Dollar as it was called, was the principal medium of exchange. This was shortly followed by the Mexican dollar and later by the New Merican, and the United States trade dollar

The question was now raised by the Chinese members of the Community, who presented a petition to the Chamber of Commerce praying that steps be taken to legalize the circulation of all classes of dollar (old or now) which had hitherto been in circulation chopped or otherwise. Note For the information of new arrivels in the Far East, it may be bere mentioned that the chopping of silver dollars, which is known to many of us, consisted ineach Chinese firm through whose hands the coin passed, punching their mark on the coin.

It was suggested at one time that Mr. Moss wight be attached to Baros Von Eichthofen's Expedition, but this was declined by the latter on the ground that the two expeditions were undertaken for entirely different purposes, the one comercial, the other scientific. After much discussion it was agreed to vote a sum of still not infrequently met with The trouble, how $2,000.00 towards Mr. Mose expenses, and it was suggested that that gentleman should appeal to the public for subscriptions; by this means a further sum of about $3,000.00 was secured.

La October, 1870, Mr. M. Moss' report on his journey up the West River was received and ordered to be printed, his proposed expedition to Pakhoí having been abandoned.

At the half-yearly meeting held on 23rd November, 1870, very savere comments were made upon the action-or rather inaction-of the Local Chinese Authoritish, which permitted the atrocious, murder of Europeans-chiefly Sistors of Charity-at Tientsin.

The year 1871 seems to have bean a very unerential one no far as the Chamber

of Commerce was concerned. Renewed protests. were made against licensed gambling in the Colony and complaint was also made as to the entire stoppage of trade with Pakhoi owing to the expedition sont against the town organized by the Imperial Maritime Customs with vessels commanded by British subjects.

Further reference is here mado to the "block ade" of Hongkong, which still continued in spite of the promise of the Imperial Government to withdraw the obnoxious gunboats.

A farther resolution was carried suggesting that the Government make the United States. trade dollar legal tender (if unshopped) owing to the seroity of Mexican dollars, and the fact that the British dollar might not be available for some considerable time.

All the annual meeting on 7th March, 1878, the Chairman again brought up the question of ro-establishing a mint in Hongkong for the coinage of dollars and subsidiary coin which was daty carried. The Government, however, whately did not adopt the propceal and what, as we zow know, would have proved, a very profitable undertaking and a great boon to trade was thus lost to the Colony.

At this meeting it was stated the mint was closed by Sir Richard Macdonnell in disre trial opposition to the wishes of the Banks and and Merchants of Hongkong," and that it was closed" by an error of judgment."
