THE CHINESE. IMPERIAL NAVAL

in xomething more to be apprehended than the vindication of British interests, for many a shell would destroy property owned in Berlin as well as London, and all the world knows that Prince Premarck-weuld not be silent-pul-insative-over such an occurrence as that. It is only by the exercise of a wise discretion and self-restraint that France and Germany even now are pre- vented from flying at each other.
The attack on Hud and its immediate effects are now attributed by some French politicians to an excess of zeal on the part of patriots and was riors intent upon carrying out those ideas of colonisation with which the minds of their public men are inflamed, and who had not duly con- sidered the consequences. The treaty extorted from the new King gave the sole protectorale over Annam to the French, and If it had been allowed to stand it would have been a valuable acquisition to the invaders; but the Chinese caine to the frant once, determined upon the main- tenance of their own suzerainty, and backing that determination by ordering 15,000 of their regular
soldiers to the Tonquin border. M. Challemel Lacour was quickly undeceived about the pos- sibility of an easy conquest.

Lord Granville, on kindly thoughts intent, ap- pears to have succeeded in effecting a personal reconciliation between the French Minister and the Chinese Ambassador, and re-opening nege tiations for peace. The first consequence is a' series of propositions suitable for the purpose, but very different froth the concessions demanded in the Treaty of Hud. Their acceptance would be humiliating to the vanity which contemplated This Band, which arrived here some days entire submission and a vast surrender, but what age from Tientsin for the purpose of giving else can be done? Our English Minister for concerts in nid of the Yellow River sufferers, Foreign Affairs could not be otherwise than gave their first musical entertainment at the moved by the uneasiness which had appeared Public Garden this afternoon, the 25th fast among the British mercantile interests, and the The Band is the first and only one in existence fall that has taken place in the funds. The which, entirely composed of Chiness, is under markets for silk and tea, chief articles of China the tutorship of a foreigner. The bandamen produce, and for cotton goods and lead amongst number twenty-two; their musical instructor the productions of this country, of which large is Mr. Bigel, a native of Alsace, and they demands are made from the Celestial Em- are under the special patronage of Li Hung-pire, already indicate coming disturbance in the chang. This band was organized three years event of hostilities, into which Great Britain ngo and the progress which the pupils have would certainly be drawn. We do not think made since, reflects great credit on their that at the worst-the-ten-trade-would-suffer-to- tutor. It must have been a very difficult and the same extent as in 1859, on the occurrence of tedious task to teach these men the first rudi-the China-War, when the price of tear advanced ments of music. Although the art of music in China is of very ancient date, (it being so far traceable to the year 2240 B.C. during the reign of Emperor Yu, who issued a decree,

will seemingly watch with great interest the performance of a European band, but then, whilst doing so, their curiosity is only roused by the strange form of our musical instruments and the fingering which puzzles them to a still greater extent. European music passes by their ears and has no effect on their nature, although the abominable scratching on a Chinese fiddle brings all their vital spints in motion. One of the greatest difficulties which had to be over come by teaching these men was Guido's gamut. The Chinese have two scales of notes in use one of the so called "Southern" which is cha- racterised, like the early Scotch and Irish, by the absence of the fourth and seventh the other scale is the so called "Northern" in which the intervals are supplied after the tone fashion..
Now a word or two about the execution of the The instruments used by the programme. bandsmen are all brass instruments, arranged after the French system, it having been found that reed-instruments were too difficult for their use. The programme included operatic, dance, sacred and even Chinese music, and therefore gave listeners ample opportunity to judge as to the band's effectiveness. All pieces were executed in a very creditable style and Mr. Bigel must have had more than ordinary perseverance to accomplish such a task. No. 3 of the pro- gramme, Lucrezia Borgia, by Donizetti, was the most difficult piece, as it contains so many different movements of time, and time was the greatest difficulties that had to be overcome by teaching -these-men-——it was rendered in very good style
and was loudly applauded.
Nos. 5 and 7 of the programme were two Chi nese air. In No. 5 the bandmaster played a solo on an instrument, which Chinese mostly use in their wedding or funeral ceremonies, and which resembles greatly a Scotch bagpipe. Yet, we believe, in both pieces the true Chinese melody was lost through the added confusion of harmonized accompaniment, and Chinese musician would have recognised the melodies with great difficulty. They must have cost their bandmaster great trouble in transposing them from the original,

The English demand, bas developed tea production in India very considerably within the last quarter of a century, and a steady increase in public estimation of the Assam, Darjeeling, and other qualities of British Indian teas renders it likely that any serious interruption of the China trade by the proceedings of France would increase the relative importance of India as a source of supply, We should have to pay more for our tea, and be satisfied with a less quantity; but we should not, in any event, be altogether without it, and it is scarcely probable that the ports would remain closed until it should be the pleasure of the ene- my of China to open them.
The Franch Government went wrong from the time it first assumed an aggressive attitude and a policy of annexation to make colonies as certain sources of national wealth. The people are be coming sensible of the mistake, for instead of reaping new glories at an infinitesimal expense they suddenly find themselves brought face to face with the ugly question to be determined of Peace or War?. France was told that five thous- and inen only were required to settle the Ten- quin affair, establish a Protectorate (which meant. annexation), and warn the Chinese off the covered territory; but now, as M. Bernard Lavergne has ob- served in the Paris paper, the Filigraphe, "at least 10,000, perhaps. 50,000, men may be needed, with an expenditure of from sixty million' francs to a hundred and fifty million," Wonhy French citizens think this too dear for an exploit-in the way of glory, which has not answered expecta tions after all. The French nation does not desire war with China. "There must be no more of those rash threats," observes the writer we have quoted, "hurled at a nation of 400,000,000 souls. Let no one tell us that nothing now remains but to decide whether we shall declare war, as war virtually exists. We
