Parkes, to go to Peking as the representative of his country is singularly, expressive of the great improvement that has taken place in the rela tions between England and China since he was made priser twenty-two years ago in defiance of all the laws of humanity at Tung-chow. The Chinese might, indeed, feel with regard to Sir -Harry Farkes some of the twinges of remorse; but they have reason to see in his return to Peking only the proof of his personal magnanim ily as well as of the sincerity of our friendship: Sinensis" writes as follows on the subject of Sir Thomas Wade's communication

Sir Harry Parkes was in 1856 then Acting hands from the first. All the demands on the Consul at Canton, and the whole case was in his Chinese authorities were made in his name; and although he was supported by the Minister, Sir. Bowring, it is important to recollect that Sir Harry Parkes was alone in direct communica- tion with the Chinese authorities that all the information sent down Hongkong, where the Minister resided, caine through his hands; and that when the case was finally handed over to Admiral Seymour to exact redress it was the Consul and not the Minister who issued the proclamation notifying the course taken to the inhabitants of Canton Sir Thomas Wade contends that the responsibility rests with Sir John Bowring, who directed and approved the steps taken. No doubt that is the view the Foreign Office would take of the matter; but this does not touch your contention that the Chinese, from ignorance, no doubt, of foreign official regulations, have always attributed their troubles to the agent on the spot.

He, however, accompanied the army to Peking he was taken prisoner by the Chinese, and it was in consequence of the treatnient he and his fellow prisoners received that the famous Summer Palace, which contained all that was most valuable of the treasures of the Im perial Court, was sacked and burned. Further, it would not be difficult to show from the Blue Books that Sir Harry Parkes was believed by the Chinese to occupy a very high position, and to possess very great influence at the British camp, and at least to have it in his power to stop the onward movement of the British army. /Sir Thomas Wade says with truth that he is very generally credited with friendly feelings towards China, and it is in keeping with his well-known chivalrous character that he has come forward to support the claims of an old colleague. But it is for the Government to consider whether it is Wise to persist in the appointment of a Minister whose name would be associated by the Empress Regent with the destruction of her palace and her own enforced flight from her capital, and whose coming, as you have remarked, cannot be otherwise than distasteful to the Chinese Gov-

The retirement of Sir Thomas Wade, after having represented this country in China during nearly twenty marked advantage to the cause with great distinction to of international harmony, naturally raised feelings of anxterys to who could worthily takes his place, and carry on the policy of friendship which has, fortunately, endured between the two countries since the last war with China. The appointment of Sir Hany Parkes allays that anxiety, and removes-the-doubts as to whether the right "policy would be conducted with that intimate. knowledge of Chinese etiquette, and that unfail ing tact and temper, which have characterised the diplomatic career of Sir Thomas Wade. The policy cannot be dissociated from the man; and it is impossible to say how far our satisfactory, relations with the Celestials have been due to Sir Thomas Wade, rather than to the instructions issued by the Foreign Office.Certainly, en more than oneccension, nothing but Sir Thomas Wade's urbanity and....timely firmness-have-averted a- guarrel which, with less skilful treatment, would have resulted in war. The appointment of an inexperienced or self-confident man to this most difficult and exceptional post in our Diplomatic Service would, at such an important Conjuncture as the present, have been nothing leas than a national calamity, for it is impossible to say how important may be the issues involved in pursuing the best possible policy with regard to China during a foreign complication.

The transfer of Sir Harry Parkes from Tokio to Peking has some special features of in. terest that do not belong to the usual changes in our Diplomatic Service. If we regard the matter from its highest point of view, it will be seen that Sir Harry Parke's magnanimous for getfulness of the past, and his admirable deyo tion so the call of duty, are singularly expressive. of the inestimable improvemens that has taken place in our relations with China since he was made prisoner at Tungchow.
