He could not allow the opportunity to pass of saying how deeply he felt the very warm reception, the unprecedentedly warm reception, he received from the community spon his arrival here recently. So deeply did he feel it that it was difficult to express his gratifica ilon in language which would convey all he de sired to say.

has thus far not been realized. But he was no the right tack, nevertheless, when he suggested that a bit of English civilisation should be planted here, which might provide lessons for the Chinese to be learned in due time. There are parts of that civilization, not actually physical, and yet leading to physical benefit, which it would have been well if we had in- troduced from the commencement, and which

He felt sure that he had the authority of all present to forward a reply to Shanghai recipro- cating those good wishes in sultable terms, as follows:

His Excellency then read the message he had drafted for transmission to Her Majesty the Queen,Empress, thus :—

Details remain matter of negotiation. The plenipotentiary seizes the carlicat occasion to declare that Her Majesty's Government has sought for ne privilege in China exclusively for the advantage of British ships and merchants, and he is only performing bia duty in offering the protection of the British flag to the subjects, citizens, and ships of foreign "Powers that may resort to Her Majesty's possession. Pending Her Majesty's further pleasure, there will be no port or other charges to the British Goverment. The plenipotentiary now perraits himself to make a few general observations. The oblivion of past and redressed injuries will follow naturally from the right feeling of the Queen's subjects. etc., etc.

The actual taking possesalon of the island is thus described by Commander Belchers of H.M.S. Sulphur ***

"We landed on the 25th January, 1841, st fifteen minutes past 8 a.m., and being the first bona fide possessors Her Majesty's health was drunk on Possession Mount. The next day, 26th, the squadron arrived, the marines were landed, the Union Jack holated on the post we had stuck up the day before, and formal posses sion of the island taken by Commodore Sir J. Gordon Bremer, accompanied by the afficers of the squadron, under a feuds fois from the marines and a Royal salute from the ships of War,"

The holsting of the flag was followed three days later, by the issue of another proclamation by Captain Elliot, which has already appeared in these columns, together with other authentic his torical facts connected with the early history ofthis Colony. We refrain from wearying our readers with the reproduction of those records which our esteemed morning contemporary, the Wyndham Street oracle, has crammed its columns to-day, contenting ourselves with q soting the declara tlon, by Captain Elliot, of the freedom of the port on the 7th of June, 1841, which is

as follows -g

"It is hereby declared to the merchants and traders of Canton and all parts of the Empire, that they and their ships have free permission to resort to trade at the port of Hongkong, where they will receive fall protection from the high officers of the British nation; sad, Hongkong being of the Chinese empire, neither will there be any charges on imports and exports payable to the British Government.

SUNDAY REST.

on the

There can be no doubt of the benefit of one day of rest. We have only to look at the Chinese to see the evil of the utter lack of it. Strong and pallent in labour as the Chinese are, they have neither, the healthy, mental, or physical tone of our own people. Other causes are of course at work, but this of unresting toll, so far as the labouring classes are concerned, has set its mark on their faces and their minds. Should wo in this Christian colony, where the Chinese as a rule are in far happier circumstances than in their own country, allow the same arresting toll to continue. Is there no possible way out of the difficulty? I cannot believe it. China is not a country much given to imitation, but there is no telling what effect would have been produced if from the first the Sunday rest had been estallshed here for mil ashore and afloat. It would at all events have been a striking proof to the Chieese, from Canton to Peking, that there was a care for something else beside buying and selling, and it would probably have had more effect nation than all the public works put to gether. The Chinese here who are released from work on the Sunday evidently enjoy the rest, and there must be many among them who do lose some cents over it. Amid all the wisdom and charity of this community some means Your Majesty's subjects, jain unanimously in of English civilization could at last he established The people of the Colony, for the most part might be devised by which this essential feature grateful recognition of the wise policy of Your here, for the good of many of our owa people as Majesty's Government which has granted the well as for that of the Chinese labourers, Union same rights and equal justice to all the numerous of all will do it, and by doing it we shall be set races of which they are composed; and they reting an example of English civiliz ion that will cognize as largely owing to the wisdom of Your tell for good on far more than those immediately which, within a half century entirely comprised Majesty's constitutionalrule, the conditions under affected.

The Bank team then played up and same very good work was put in by Dow, who all through the match workel very hard. The Club backs were not to be denied, however, and again the ball was sent up amongst their forwards, when Vignoles attacked but just missed scoring by striking the upright... After the kick out Dow managed, with the some close play near the Bank goal, to get clear, and made a good run down the ground to within a few feet of the Club goal, where bis ahot went wide by about two feet. Shortly after this; time was called and terminated a fast and even game. The play of Vignoles, Atkinson, and Lewis for the Club is deserving of mention as also is that of Dow, Wallace, and Sharps, for the Bank. There is no doubt that, with a little more practice and combination play on the part of the latter's forwards, on a future reseting of there teams a reversal of the result of Monday's Match may be looked for.

MyCOUMANY, the Russian Minister to China, arrived at St. Petersbarg from Peking lest month. The St. Petersburger Zeitung states that he is the bearer of a communication from the Chinese Government, assenting to the open- ing of the province of Shenai to Russian trade, and the establishment of Russian Consulates ai | Lancbow-fu and Si-aa-fa." The Journal, in com- menting upon these concessions, regards them as of great importance for Russian commerce.

According to the statement of the chairman at the last meeting, the estimates of the precious metal in the river on the company's property "had gone as high as from £15,000,000 to £20,000,000 sterling."
