Our Dynasty, conciliating foreigners, has shown kind. | ness exceedingly deep, but the English, instead of heing grateful for this, have indulged in ferocious violence, so that they are in the wrong, whilst we are in the right. as all the world must koow. As they have placed themselves outside the pale of our favour, they are not entitled to pity. Let therefore the English trade be at once stopped.

The reason for locking up a jury while considering their verdlet is obvious. They have quite a different fonction to discharge from that of the judge, and they have also to discharge It under totally different circumstances, Jaries on crimloal cases are drawn promiscuously from the people, and if allowed after the close of evidence to scatter amongst the commanity they would be open to influences which might render the return of a true verdict impossible. The more ignorant be inflcanced by bogus evidence privately whispered in their eat, the more susceptible by private entreaties, or the more unscrupulous by still baser means. A judge is in an altogether first place he is unapproachable by the common herd, in the recond place after he has charged the jury he ha dong with the trial, and do nothing to influence the result one way or the other. In other countries juries are placed under much stricter surveillance than here, and allowed no commmunication with the outer world from the time they are empanelled until their work is finished. Of course it all Involves some inconvenience, but auch small sacrifices of personal liberty, are the price at which the advantages of chilled lile have gecessarily to be purchased. And about the last man whom ond would expect to find rising to object to that sacrifice, if the desired object is to be gained, singularly enough turns cat in these colonies to be the first Sydney Telegraph.

FOR SWATOW, AMOY, AND TAMSỤI,
It is an ungracious task to have to remind people of their losses, even though these may largely consist of depreciation on paper only. It is therefore, an unpleasant duty to call attention to the very considerable fall which has occurred in Hongkong of late, in nearly all securities that are locally dealt in, and to a very Considerable extent locally owned.
