Constructed on finer lines than the merchant junks, the war juaks can also show a greater spread of sail and are in every way, faster and more easily handled it is.ex- tremely pretty to see them manœuvring on a broad expacia of water, such as the lakes bayoad Soochow, tacking and turning with marvellous celerity, and sailing closer into the wind than almost any other type of craft we' know.

These junks are organised and controlled by the provincial authorities and are in no way subject to the orders of the Central Government.. Every Viceroy and Governor maintains a large fleet of them, and smaller squadrons are kept by the Provincial Treasurers, Salt Commission, ers, and the Taotsis and District Mngiitrates. Their function is to prevent smuggling and piracy, chiefly in the inland waters, for their duties at sea have within the past two or three decades-been-assumed. pretty completely by craisers of the Imperial Maritime Customs, In addition to the sailors there is usually a de-
·tachment of "braves" on boards, more or less nume.ous according to thẻ size of the vessel, and indifferently armed for the greater part with old-fashioned firearme, swords and spears. The ordnance which the war-junks carry is, from many points of view, the most interest. ing feature of their equipment. It consista altogether of small, muzzle-loading pieces of ancient make, a large proportion having come originally from old foreign frigates and corvet les-the " Blande,” perhapi, or the "Imogen," or the "Andromache" or any, of the other "famous ships that fought atTM Antoy," or "CanlanTM or Taku in the stirring times of the Opium War. Da southero junks pieces of extreme antiquity, dating from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, and bearing inscriptions which tell that they originally belonged to the caravels and galleons in which the Portuguese conquistadores, Camoens himself, perhaps, among them took Macao and waged war on the Kwangtung pirates, and opened up a rich trade between China and the Indios generations

found on board these vessels are newer, for they do not seem to last so long as the Euro- pean or Americia article. Though their manu- facture has now pretty completely ceased, we believe, they were made up to fifteen or twenty years ago in the smaller provincial arsenals, and it is, after all, guns of about this age ned types nath-bore muzzle-loaders, firing solid shof-that are chiefly mounted on mandarin war junks.-
As we have said, these vessels belong almost inviably to the Provincial officials and the Central Government makes no claim to author ity over them Not that. Peking has never sought to gain control of them, for it has, repeatedly, but always unsuccessfully, Bat difficulties relating to naval administration be tween Peking and Provincial authoriiles, are an old story in Cliina, and they have not always bezu cynnected with such humble craft as war junks either. Our readers, or some of them, may remember the fate of the Lay-O barne flori la, out of which the advancement of Sir Robert Hart to the I. C-ship, in the 1, M. Customis may be said to have arisen. But that. is another story, and we only wish to refer to
it here as instancing the friction that has been so frequent in the past between the Peking and the provincial authorities with regard to naval. administration. Mr. Haratio Lay, and I. G. of the period, was in England on leave in 1861, his locum tenens" in China being Mr. (now Sir Robert) Harl. Conferences with the Chi nese Min sters on the naval weakness of the Empire resulted in Sir Robert being au- thorised to send to Mr. Lay orders for cer tain armed vessels to be officered 'and man- ned by Britishers, Mr. Lay executed the order "according to his lights," as Alerander Michio tells us, engaging Captain Sherard Osborne tocanimand the fleet, which was equip- ped on a war-foutlog. The ships came out and. all stemed to be going, well with the schemo when the whole business was ruled in conse. quence of a conflict of authority between the Peking and the provincial officials, with regard | to the question which was entitled to give Cap- Rain Sherard Osboros ordess, Peking or the Provinces. The ships were ultimately taken From the University of Pennsylvania, U.S.A. | back to Europe and sold at a heavy pecuniary.
