The Viceroy and Governor commence their proclamation by observing that most of the native opium consumed in Hupeb, comes from Yunnan, Kweichow, Szechuan, And Shenai, especially Szechuan.

Upon receipt of the document the Viceroy Chang Chi-tung at once proceeded to carry out the measures contained therein, and after con- decided upon the employment of the following method, and issued, in conjunction with Governor Tang, a proclamation as following "Native oplum is principally from Yunnan, Szechuan, Kweichow, and Shensi, of which provinces Szechuen produces the greatest quantity.. In former years the duty was fixed at Tls. 3o per picul, but recently this has been considered a high rate, and various officers entrusted with the collection have been in the habit of deman- ding only a few taels per picul, but there is always more or less evading going on of even this small duty. Since the receipt, however, of the Imperial mandate that the duty should be ralied, and of Sir Robert Hart's proposal that it should be the same as on foreign opium, namely, Tls 110 per picul, we have decided that Tla. 30 per picut shall be collected along with Tis. 4.70 extra for losses and short weight of sycee, which rate we have settled after mature consideration and careful observation."

The head office will be at Ichang, where all the packagesofastiveoplum will receive the official stamp, after payment of the proper duty. These packages can then be carried to every | part of the province for purpose of trade, and will be subject to no further interference or taxation whatever on the part of the oplum searchers or soldiers detailed to prevent smoggling, Any smugglers detected will be severely dealt with, and the opium confiscated, half the value of it going to the people to whom the seizure is due, and half to the Government. Any opiam going about the country in packages without the Ichang stamp will be considered contraband. Chang Chi-tung enjoins upon the officials of Hupch and the neighbouring provinces that it is their duty to support him in his efforts to carry out the Imperial commands in this matter, and to prevent extortion of other improper practices. He says that, as he knows the people are not very rich, he only Imposes the rate of Tis. 30 per picul instead of the rate suggested by Sir Robert Hart, and any one attempting to evade payment of this duty will be severely punished,

Shanghai has suffered considerably more this year from cholera epidemic than for the past fauror five years. Deaths are reported continually at all times and places from this fell discast the mortality in some places being to heavy that the undertakers eannot keep up with the demand for coffins. The dectors have their hands fall, not a few having themselves fallen victims, and the druggists have been cleared out of their drugu. And yet, notwithstanding the the daily evidence of the fury of the disease, the people do not seem to be a whit more careful of themselves as regards their living and dieting: Had the authorities at the first Instituted careful enquiry, the virulence of the disease might in some degree bave been mitigated. The most obvious cause le the indiscriminate feeding of the people. In the most careless manner they eat unripe and even decayed fruit that has been food. The chief feature of the disease is the rapid fall of bodily temperature and coldness of the extremallies.

Filial piety is one of the elements which has Cantos perpetuated our race for many centuries, while other nations of some antiquity have gone and new ones have sprung up in their stead. It has been the mainstay of the Chinese people, and is exhibited in various modes. The noblest act is that of the son who dies or suffers for his parent, when falsely accused by officials, In ancient times it was very common for the children to slice a piece of the flesh from either the thigh, or arm to be balled with the Bostram to be administered to their sick parents, but now such an act is so rare that it has come to be accounted one of the nobles virtues. It has come to our knowledge that a few days ago the daughter-in-Foocher law of a man known as the "Hoary headed," of about three score and ten years, having been a sexton to one of the missionary chapels in the Victoris Peak city, after having served him in his protracted Maca illness, and seeing the non-effectiveness of Hobo ***** the medicinal decoctions prescribed by various Haiphong.... physicians, and their means being strattened, follan had no resource to appease her father-in-law's suffering except by excising a piece of flesh from her arm. This she boiled in the dregs which were left from the previous days' decoction, and administered to him as medicine. The old man, after taking it, began to feel brighter, and was well two days after. The daughter-in-law did not make known to him this efficacious medicine until his full recovery. Such an act is worthy to be brought to'public notice as an example for others. We cannot guarantee the cure of mala dies by such excessive cruelly to one's self, but the daughter's intention and love for the parenta Hongkong Observatory, 15th October, 1800, is laudable and commendable.
