"At the meeting of the Opium Commission in Shanghai to-day, an American Bishop, Dr. Breat, was unanimously elected to the chair. He delivered an impressive address, in the courie of which he characterized the singe through which the anti-opium agitation had already passed as the Emotional Stage: 11

Lord Shaftesbury-Personally, I welcome it, though it must necessarily be a terrible jar to maoy el my old acymintonces,”

Lord Palmerston It is certainly very point- ed' but not whit more so than was needed. The unciuous self-righteousness which is an able, or unwilling, to appreciate plain fact needed a rebuke which could not have come more appropriately or with greater, force than from the lips of its own elect.

This evening we ard to look into another of "Emotional

the misrepresentations of the

Selge"-the financial. It will be remembered that one of the main grounds for the crusade against opium was the statement that by reason of opium China was being depleted of ber- silver.

H. E. Lip-We-declared that our stock of silver was decreasing to,the tune of some ira millions of taels per annum. It is quite true that we had no statistics whatever to prove it, but ten millions was a nice round number, -We named it-and-stuck to it,

Lord Shaftesbury-And we having' adopted It from you, and being-convinced of your per fect integrity, also, stuck to it. Was there any truth in it?

Sir John Bowring-Oh yes, undoubtedly there was. You see it was like this-India supplied oplam to China and took scarcely any goods in return. There were no bapks to,ad just matters, and so the trade was done on a cash basis. But when making their statement respecting the nebulous ten millions, our Chi pese friends raid nothing whatever about the very solid-millions.coming to.

H.E. Lin-Of couise not.

Sir John Bowring:-Yet averybody, excepi tha. Society whose information was "based Jargely upon sentiment and ideals! knew that that all the nations doing business with China were constantly sending silver to pay for the ten, silk, and other articles they bought, since 'China took little else in the way of exchange.

Mr. W. C. Hunter-The ship I came out in brought 50,000 Spanish dollars in kegs. That was in 1874, and the quantify steadily grew afterwards.

Sir John Bowring-It did. I got out some returns later on, showing that the P. & O. ships alone brought in over twenty-eight millions of dollars a year.

H E. Lis-Gentlemen, there is no doubt whatever that your remarks on this matter are ad true as they are poisted. To add my quota to the force, let me tell you, as a fict of which at least some of you were ignorant at the time, that we had a rule by which wo permitted 30% of our imported foreign, silver to be re-exported. "Qur nativa silver was never touched at all.

Ms. Gladstone-At an old Chancellor of the Bxchequer. I should like to ask whether any of you can quote us some up to date opinion on this vexed question,' '..
