winked at its production, collected duty on it on the sly and passed it, saying nothing about it in the accounts forwarded to the Board of Revenue, or only accounting for a very small proportion of the amount collected. No mention being made of the duty thus collected on the surplus, opium, the officials must put this duty quietly into their pockets. It is 2 well-known fact that opium, being far more profitable than any other kind of produce. immense quantities must be raised, and if a proper system could be devised to check this squeezing, enormous sums would find their way into the Imperial Treasury that could be utilized for the public beneft, and might assist the Government in large degree. His Majesty is therefore resolved that this vile abuse shall be stopped forthwith. It is learned that in the provinces of Kirin, Hch-lung-kiang, Szechuan. Yunnan, and Klanguan, opium is grown in large quantities, and sent away for consump tion to various places, having paid all kis and duty at the stations. His Majesty there fore commands all Viceroys and Governors to bear in mind that, as the first step in putting an end to the irregularities that now exist in the collection of kin, they are to find out where the

This document has probably no parallel in the history of our Colonial Empire for the augty and threatening tone which it assumes toward the Government, except, perhaps, the dispatch, In which the North American colonists in 1773 announced that they would not longer pay taxes to Great Britain and so prepared the way for the War of Independence.

The address says ---- passages We have learned with the deepest surprise and alarm that a modus vivandi has been entered into between your Majesty and the French Government, not only tolerating for this season the lobster factories operated by French during the last year, against which we humbly petitioned to your Majesty, but also giving the sanction of your Majesty to the erection of an indefinite number of other fictories by the French during the present season.
"We beg to call to the consideration of your Majesty that there is no warrant of law, either imperial or colonial, by which the erection of lobster factories by the, French on any part of the coast of this island is recognized, nor is there any statute by which British subjects can be

The officers who have hitherio had the collecting of the duty are to be dismissed on account of their bad conduct in cheating the Government... Three months are given to the officials in which to devise a proper method to collect the duty on the Native-grown opium. His Majesty then comments upon the fact that the Inspector General of Customs has been able to learn much more about the subject than the Native officials; and a copy of a report from Sir Robert Hart, stating the provinces whete opium in grown, is ordered to be sent to the Governors and Viceroys, who are bidden to be guided by Sir Robert's great experience in such matters. They are finally exhorted to search diligently ihto ibis subject, so that Chinese money may be kept in the country instead of sending it out to buy opium in other countries, and benefiting other people.-Shanghai Mercury.

"From this it follows that solely by force exercised without sanction of law can 'French lobster factories be maintained, or English. lobster factories be prohibited. Can it be wondered at if the naval and military authorities of either country act without any sanction of law in dealing with this question on this island, or that certain of its inhabitants who are impoverished and brought to the verge of star- vation by the action of the French Government -British subjects who see their fisheries confis cated to foreigners, their miaes, minerals and timber lands locked up from their use, and their sons and daughters driven from their homes and native landare driven by their feelings of despair to acts of retaliation ?
"The suffering and poverty caused by the action of the French to the 200,000 inhabitants of this colony can scarcely be real zed by any one outside of its borders, and probably exceeds that endured by all the white subjects of your | Majesty in all your colonies combined. Repre senting as we do these 200,000 people, we cannot refrain from expressing our indignation at the several attempts made by your Majesty's ministers during the present year by this modur vivendi and their action with regard to our proposed legislation, as more fully set forth hereinafter, to surpass all their predecessors in enforcing the unjust claims of the French to our ruin"
A short description of the fort, which Lieut. Hecht has built to the south-east of the harbour here, may be of interest to some of your readers. About zoo fect from the beach a hill rises neatly perpendicularly some 230 feet and on the top of this the fart is built. A track on the inner side of the hill, with 338 cemented steps, leads

Both batteries are armed with breech-loading Armstrong guns o the last new pattern and with all modern impro- vements, supplied by Messia, Jardine, Matheson & Co. They look extremely well-finished. I have no technical knowledge of this sort of work, but it seems to me that all the arrangements which I saw, when I was courteously invited to look over it, are highly creditable both to the constructor, and to the Government which ordered it to be done.
"We cannot ask that the French should be deprived of the privileges granted them by treaty, though we claim that by their bounties on fish caught on the shares of our island and on the produce of fisheries prosecuted from St. Pierre and Miquelon, they are violating these terms of the treaties which stipulate that the mode of conducting the fisheries shall be the same as heretofore and no other, At the time of signing those treaties no such bounty was in existence, and we think that during the time such a breach of the spirit of the treaties exists it may well be considered as canceling all claims of the French on Newfoundland, St. Pierre and Miquelon.
Although it takes an experienced eye to find oat from seawaid that there are guns at all, the place will look well when the trees, that are planted all round, grow up and from the land side the new barrack buildings, surrounded by the crenelated stone wall, with vaultedgate-way, have By French aggressors on the one hand and quite a picturesque appearance.

The Govern-aggressive and persistent France.
ment mines at Pak Tow seem to be nearly
worked out, but it is said that they can yield coal enough for a couple of years until the new mine can be put in working order.
It is about time that something is done; ever since Mr. Matheson, about 18 months, ago, gave up the management, hardly any Govern- ment coal has been exported, except to the arsenals in Foochow and Shanghai, and nearly all that was sent to Shanghai has been shock ingly had stuff The consequence is disastrous; the natives had it all their own way, last year and supplied bad coal for good money, as there was no competition, and went on in such a manner that Kelung coal got a name so bad, that although there now is pleaty of good coal at very reasonable prices, it will take time to regain the confidence of our customers.
The Chinese official who is in charge of the working of the railway, found out some days ago that a ticket-collector was short a few hundred cash, something much less than a dollar; they condemned the poor fellow to 600 strokes with the bamboo. The ticket-collector, who was of good family, then went out and drowned himself. As fortunately bis father is a mandarin of some standing in Taipeh-fu, the whole pitiful matter has been brought before our just and energetic Governor.
"In our opinion the time has arrived when submission to such glaring injustice is no longer possible and when the colony must take all and any means in its power to frustrate the designs of its despollers, and by this appeal to your most gracious Majesty and to the people of Great Britain we desire to show that we have right and justice on our side; that such steps as we may have taken have been enforced on us by foreign aggression and by the supine acquiescence therein of your Majesty's imperial ministers.

"We therefore bumbly pray that your Majesty will be graciously pleased to cause the removal of all the French lobster factories from the shores of this colony, and further will withhold all fishing privileges on the coast of Newfound- land, St. Pierre and Miquelon granted French, until by the abolition of bounties on the produce of fisheries prosecuted from these islands the condition of matters shall be such as was contemplated at the time of concluding the treaties by which these privileges are granted."
