buyers at the Treaty ports would make any attempt at imposition so hopeless, that no teaman wou'd think it worth his while, even if, his conscience would consent to it, to make such an attempt. As for tea-sifting, they have their own buyer, the brick-tea merchants; and tea-stalks find a profitable market in the interior.
The real cause of the decline in the tea trade is therefore to be sought not in any imaginary adulteration of ten in China, but in the excessive inland and export daties levied there, and in defects in growing and preparing; and the following six suggestions are put forward by the Guild as the remedy for that dectiser-
1.--Increased care in growing. In China the tea generally grows on the slopes of hills.. This ground is hard and cold, and the plant has to make a greater effort to grow on such a soil than in the warm and lecse-soiled plains in which it is cultivated in other countries. But in these countries, although its leaf is softer, the juice contained in it is far thinner and less flavoury than what is distilled from the Chinese tea plant. Let the up-country growers, who are, sad to relate, in many instances abandoning their tea-garitens on the bills owing to the, smaliness of the prices which are offered to them for the product, take heart, and they will still produce nn article that can hold its own against any in the world. Let them take advantage of the winter season to well loosen the soil, and fertilise it with ash manure, and they will have a fine crap by next season, which will richly repay them for all their teuble.
2.-There shou'd be no delay in picking the various crops at their seasons. In China these are three, called respectively first, second, and third spring crops.. So little attention has been paid of late years to this important point that the market has been flooded with large coarse old leaves, while the tender fresh young ones, the. best of the tea harvest, have been conspicuous by their absence. Mr. Huang, the late Prefect of Ning Chow, in Kiangsi, was so well aware of the advantages to be get by timely picking that he ordered all the growers in his jurisdiction to pick the young new season's leaves at least ten days before the spring rains, and enjoiped the greatest care in the preparation of the tea for the market. In fact, this Prefect went so far as to invite the buyers of tea to inform him of any violation of these injunctions, so that he might inflict punishment on the offenders. Not one tea-grower dared to disobey and the consequence was a splendid crop of Ningchows last year, which fetched excellent prices.

SHANTUNG..
(FROM A CORESPONDENT)
Chefoo, z2nd November, 1859,
A terrible accident occurred at Hanting, about 30 if to the cast of Welhien (Shantung) on Wednesday the 13th inst. A terrace wall gave way during a theatrical performance, and about 200 persons, mostly women and children, were killed. Some put the estimate as high as 250.
The temple where the performance was being held, stands on a high terrace in the middle of the town. There seems to bave some former period, been a hill there at but it is all cut away except the portion on which the temple stands. A wall, almest perpendicular, and about go feet high, was built up from the street, to support this terrace. This wall ended in a low parapet around the temple enclosure, furnishing scating room for so immense number of people. It is not known whether the wall was defective, or whether it was from the great pres.. sure above, but it gave way, and the whole mass, men, women and children, with immense blocks of stone and concrete, were hurled to the street below, resulting in a most frightful sacrifice of life. J is well this did not occur near any foreign resi dence, otherwise the Chinese would have said the fung shut was very badly spoiled.
One Chinaman.very philosophically remarked, "it was evident that they were appointed to die, otherwise they would not have been there. The idea of late or destiny seems to have taken a firm hold on the native mind.-N. C. Daily
SPECULATION IN GOLD SHARES.
3-In firing the tea, charcoal should always form the fact, to prevent any possibility of a smoky taste being imparted. The foreign chaasseNews. is now grown very fastidious, and tea fired by wood fires meels with either rejection or a cut. The officials should impress on the up-country growers, by every possible means, the folly of attempting to economise to such a manner as using wood instead of charcoal for this purpose. 4-Machinery should be used in preparing tea. At present in China human labour only is employed, which is a most expensive and cum brous arrangement,
5-Likin and other inland charges should, be reduced. Besides taxes levied on the growers at the place of production, under a variety of names, varying in different provinces, likin is collected at every barrier, and the tea, which now is only two-fifths of its former value, is taxed as heavily as in the prosperous old days; which is very discouraging to those who deal in
it in the interior.
6-Export duty should be diminished. Indian and Ceylon teas pay neither likin nor exported iduty, and in Japan the export duty is only $1. per too cattles. In China the old Canton tariff was Tis. aj per too calties. The trade was then a flourishing one, too catties was worth The 50 or more, and could well bear a tax of five per cent. The case is very different now, when most teas only fetch 8 or 9 teels per soo cattics, áprice of Tia. 30 being rarely obtainable. The present export duty comes to about 25 per cent, all round, which is certainly excessive, The unfortunate teaman has besides to pay on every 100 cattles from 4 to 7 tacls for boxes, firing-charcoal, coolie-hire, transport and other concomitant expenses. A graduated scale of export duties should be introduced, in- steal of the present system of indiscriminately taxing all tças two taels and a half per 100 catrics.
The Tea Committee of the Guild are of opinion that in the adoption of the reforms they have proposed is to be found the remedy for the pre- zent depression; and they confidently maintain that if these changes are introduced, not only will the merchants themselves be benefited, but the Government will be rewarded for its efforts on their behalf, by the largely increased receipts accruing from the enlarged volume of
the trade.

-Secondly, a man who dabbles in gold-mining shares must have a knowledge of the market, the vagaries of which have sometimes little reference to the intrinsic merits of the shares dealt in. There may be, for instance, strong holders of intrinsically bad shares, and these holders will punish the Bears to such an extent that the market will appear firm and strong when intrinsic values are relatively poor At times like the present, personal lead is everything in the market. In such matters as gold mines, the value of which rests upon hope or business instinct, personal lead is as powerful as it is in Amenta, where, if leading financiers are seen to be interested in this or that market, there is nearly always a crowd of speculators at their tail. In the case of gold shares a speculative publie argue, when seeing a man to be interested, "If Mr-treads the way, surely we may rush in.' The public do not stop to observe that, in taking a part in this or that new mining company, the leading men usually show a very marked pre- ference for what are called founders' shares, which have a prospect of sharing largely in profits, if made, but at the same time carry a minimum risk

These founders' shares are denounced in same quarters on that very ground; but the public would do well instead of expending their energy in denouncing financiers for this display of care, to try and act with similar care themselves. There is too much

The third branch of neces ary knowledge is that the speculator should know not only his own mind, but his own temperament. Atimorous man shou'd not touch any but the steadiest invest- menta; it is so easy to sell at the wrong time and at the dictates of his own fears. A man who em- birks on so tempestuous a flood as the market for gold mining shares must know that the time may come when all his dexterity and presence of mind will be needed to enable him to surmount disaster. Fair winds do not last for ever. Men of experience, who are used to the dangers of speculation, bave various methods of their own for ensuring against excessive loss. They "bedge" by taking or giving option money; they fall in the wake of certain experienced leaders, in whom they trust, and have means of observing the state of affairs which experience only can give. An ex- perienced man, or waman either for that matter, has first of all to take care not to risk too much and, la so seeking protection against possible loss, must not forget to note in what way precaution is to be taken against the risk of
A speculator has to acquire knowledge of three things: First, the merits of the investment which he may deal in; secondly, the market; and thirdly, himself, Knowledge of one's own temperament, indeed, is perhaps the most im portant of these three heads. These principles are laid down with reference more particularly to the present feverish state of men's minds, and of speculation on the Stock Exchange. The great discoveries in South Africa appear to be producing more wild speculation on the Stock Exchange of London than on the spot. The opportunities available to the most unscrupulous adventurers for misrepresenting the character of mines,.or estates in the neighbourhood of the Transvani are great; for the district, as a whole, is looked upon with some such feelings as those which were formerly stirred at the repons of the fabulous El Dorado, Financial adventurers, once they know the bent of fashion-if they foresee a rush on the part of speculators-soon accommodate the supply to the demand. The demand of late has run not so much on gold mines as upon patches of earth reputed to be capable of containing gold mines; while the very latest rush of all has been into exploring companies possessing neither land nor mining sights, bat only personal machinery for detecting and securing likely properties. Than mining, especially gold mining, nothing is more provocative of the speculative fever. At the outset almost everything is speculation. Somebody sees indications of gold in a given district, and somebody else comes upon what may be a posit, or a vein, or perhaps a great gold-bearing reef, and then a small area of sterile land rushes up to a fabulous value in the market. But nobody can foretell at any stage of the case how much gold there is in a mine. Therefore the inerits of in- devestments like gold mining shares can never be gauged very accurately, however expert and assiduous a man may be in supplying himself with information. It is not surprising that heads are turned by current accounts of the potential riches of South Africa, and by the actual for tunes suddenly made here and there by lucky in- vestors in this or that mine or estate. A small shopkeeper in a rural English district will have bought a few hundred original shares say, in the A lady named Lula Steiner appeared at the Robinson Gold Mine or in the Oceana Land British Summary Court, Shanghal, on the and Company, and his first outlay is now multiplied Inst, before Mr. Mowat, as the defendant in an from fifty to a hundred times.

This is the case began, the defendant promptly what has actually happened, and set in motion produced a counter-claim, in which she asked the wheels of the Stock Exchange with an extra. for $25. money which she considered the amah ordinary whirr.
