$300,000 had been invested in properties which had gradually been increasing in value and for which, very properly," no allowance had been made in the accounts, we are disposed to regard a net return at the rate of seven per cent, per annum, as most encouraging for the future, especially considering the very severe commercial depression the colony has passed through during the past, four or five months.

It does not perhaps say much for the other statesmen of China, whether Manchu or men of Han, that during a regency of 28 years none should have been found capable even, of sharing the burden, and that one man should stand out solitary eminence as the buitreas of the empire; but it says a great deal for the one man himself, that through good report and evil, through, storm and calm and 1,715.83 every vicissitude of fortune, and in spite also of 393-29 frequent mistakes of his own, he should have 180 co
