Governor Davis in, we must repeat, a delusion. He has neither dignity nor temper-neither sound views por correct information-neither the firmness that is indispensable to auccess in negociation, nor the suavity equally necessary to grace firmness. Originall th servant of the East filia Company Games in the beyday of its monopoly, he cannet 10, China, get rid of his old John Company's notions; be seeins do regard all independent merchants as in- terlopers, and almost smugglers; and so crude is his economical knowledge that he is overloading commerce with taxes in a settlement where trade is our only object. Yot no man ever had a fairer chance of success than Governor Davis: he left England with the full confidence of the country us well as of the Government. be arrived in Chiou in ample time to remedy the mistakes committed by his preteccssor, and he has been supported, to an unusual extent, in all his measures by the Colonial he has not the elements of success in him; and the Office. He has, however, failed; simply because sooner he is recalled the better for our interests in Obina.

CANTON, The tee market opened on the 31st of July at 30 taels, short, for fine Congous; and cone dering the prices that rule in England, the rate. is pot more than a safe limit, particularly if the leaf is inferior to that of last year, which we

hear is the case.

We extremely regret to be informed thats sec- tion of the community have shown a disposition to take advantage of the late riots by currying favor with the Authorities-deprecating the be haviour of the English as lawless &c. &c.!! The silly attempt to prove that Canton is not Can ton, so far as the word port is concerned, and therefore that the English have no right to have a vessel there for their protection; as also the dental that according to treaty the gates were to be opened to foreigners, will, it is feared, be all traced to one source, and may be ascribed to motives neither very charitable nor very honour- able. The Emperor of China, under his royal sign manual; has settled the question of right as to the city; and we apprehend that the other quirks of little cavillers will be treated, in

We have been a little started by para graphs referring to the trade, and the tra ders of China, which lately appeared in some foreign papers. This is a subject, however upon which we cannot enter to-day, but we may consider it our duty to return to it before the departure of the August Mail.

summary way.

His Excellency the Governor returned in the Vulture on Sunday; having visited Foo-chow- foo, Chasan, Ningpo, Shanglii, and we believe Amoy. We are not sorry that Sir John Davis is again at the head of his government, as from the state of affaire existing in Canton, it is ad visable that the accredited Representative of Great Britain to China, should not be far from the provincial city, and we believe that his diplomatic powers cannot be deputed to the Lieutenant-Governor of Hongkong, even sup. posing that they would be in able hands, which is at least questionable.

The re- giment is in a high state of discipline, and under the command of that distinguished Soldier, Brigadier Campbell, it will maintain the supre macy of British arus, whenever an appeal to such an alternatives unavoidable,

The contributions of our pen are limited for this issue, but we supply the niche they usually fill with a racy article from the "John Bull" of 11th April.

The opening of the new ports by treaty is another delusion for three of them at least are shut in fact -shut because of the heavy charges imposed in them on commerce True, these imports are a vic hatian of the treaty; bat of what use is a treaty if we have nos in China men to enforce its fulfilmeng? What is wanted, then, are heads-sound think. ing, resolute, determined heads-not sheepskins with lumps of wax duugling at their tails

Canton is still shut to us; French and American intrigues and misrepresentations have neutralised our influence at Pekio, and in Chusan we are now trespassers Our military and civil expenses ex- reed half a million annually. And where, without a complete revision of our policy in China, the ex- pense is to end, no one in Hongkong kadwa-not

From Canton we learn that the Pirates who re-

cently took and plundered the Privateer had quarrel lod about the division of the phander, and one of them had gone to the Mandarins and given information that the rest had sailed round to the West Coast vo junks have in consequence been despatched in pursuit of them, having the informer on board, and some Europeans; the latter being we presume part of the brew of the Prinaleer, who may be useful in identifying the property carried off--Hongkong Re gister, August 4.

A friend has sent us the following copy of a Cir- cular issued by the Consul at Amoy, requesting us the same time to call the attention of our Con temporaries in the Straits to the subject, as many of those who are naturalized British subjects in that quarter are probably not aware of the necessity of earolling themselves in the Consul's Books. Such parties are in most danger of being interfered with by the Chinese there, and may be misled by trust- ing exclusively to the Governor of Singapore's pro clamation some time ago, that on coming here they will receive British protection, and so neglect the additional means of spourity-
