The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful co n- The resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses, which have produced more misery in Louth, degradation in Man ' hoed, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease knowfi to modern pathologists. Its perusal is , particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of • their physical condition, and who are conscious of having hazarded the health, happiness, and privileges to which every humafi being is entitled. It is absolutely necessary that all mem should know that there are rinciples of personal management which cannot be violated with . out incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret sue ceed theheyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how those penalties ' may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its consequences maybe avoided, and, above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.

Sometimes I ventured to talk about the opium matters, but there is very little to be got by beading him to talk upon affairs.of public policy. He is not only very nAurally determined to say nothing that may be remembered against him, but he-lies with an aplomb and only placidity -which make one's face burn, remembering that it is a man of high office and great:learning who . is emitting the ridiculous falsehood. We must ever recollect in dealing with the Chi nese that the shibboleth of- Western chivalry—the scorn of a lie; - as a cowardly and dishonouring thing—is to them unknown: - Yeh most usually expresSeS his disbelief by a grunt or a grin, but ho has no hesitation in giving you the lie direct. Once or twice he did this in a very coarse 'way after asking a question about some matter of fact occurring on deck. The Eng lishmen about him, with every feeling for his posi tion as a prisoner, were not inclined to endure this, and he was told that it was considered by our nation as the gravest discourtesy to use such language. He couldn't understand this. "I don't intend to offend you," he said, "but you say it is, and I say it is not ; that is all." It was evident that he himself cared no more for being discovered in a fall hood than for being beaten at a game of chess. Thus, When I told him that proclamations, had ; been issued levying duties upon opium, he said, I:.‘ , That is not so. ' I produced copies of the ; pro clamations. He simply remarked that this was out ofilia province :4, and he had never heard of it. He believed that the Emperor knew nothing aboot it. I t egre , ted to hear that high Chinese officials put forth proclamatiens and -received duties without the sanction of the' Emperor. He said that the was impos-i'le. I aske 1 whether these dudes over reached the Emperor's Treasury, or whether they w. re enibtzzled He said that embezzlement by a public officer was au impossibility in China. I produced half a-dozen Pekin Gazettes, wnich re counted such embezzlements and referred the crime to the proper. board. He said:. that these Instances- were -not within. his Viceroyalty. I asked how it happened that public offictrs re ceiving almost nominal salaries made large for tunes. He said. that no man in office ever did mike a large I , rtune. I read to him from Wil lianis's "'Middle Kingdom" the Emperor's rescript and the estimate 'of the wealth of Duke Ho (one hundred and five Tendon of dollars). He said this was before his time. He was never in the smallest degree disconcerted by being. directly contradicted by a-public-document, and I:ventured upon no sub ject upon which I was ,not Weil fortified by Pekin Gazettes. It is true he never disputed the authority of a public document. That would have been to damage the official infallibility. It was a curious spectacle to see this Chinese Mandarin, versed for 25 years iu all the iniquity of official corruption, enjoying at this moment its proceeds in the shape of au unlimited credit upon Howqua's house for any moneys he may think fit to spend, yet gravely asserting the incorruptibility of all Chinese magis trates, and even reasoning upon this most notaorions falsehood as an :axiom so thoroughly true that no fact inconsistent with it could be true, and every proposition contradictory to it must be absurd. To talk with Yeh upon such subjects was of no possible use for the pUrpose of information, althoughit was psychologically interesting. to see a great Chinese gentleman shafting- and shuffling, and tot at all -conscious that it was disgraceful to abandon as a d:scovered falsehood propositions which he had just before asserted as undoubted truths. We traversed the Bay of Bengal upon an un ruffled sea, and Yeliwas comfortable in his stomach, and during some portion' of day ready for con ver.satioe. One subject upon which it'wlts• never difficult to draw him out *as that of his own career. He tells us that he is 52 year old, that he is the son of a public'effider now SO years old, who was Secretary of the Board of War (of which Yeh is now President} . for 14'years, and wlio has now for some years retired. , He rec mott:4 the . different high offices he has held. The list is too numerous for insertion - but it includes every, kind of judicial and political duty. He declares that he owed his first appointment as Prefect entirely to his success iu the public exami nations. This gave mean opportunity of inquiring into the nature of these examinations, about which so much has been written and so little known. Yeh has taken four degrees. He has passed seven examinations. In three he was unsuccessful, in the other four he was successful. In his last his distinction was 80 great that he was named the second wrangler of the Empire—he was No. 2on the list of all the candidates who passed at that Im 'perial examinatiOn...- . delipaertsmay e s n t tl haateitthyo, and d t oeoxnasmisittsiatoifon is h d e a ld ,s in w t o h rk e uponessays on the true doctrine of thilefouryancient books.

The fourde examination is held at Pekin, and general y in the pala ce b e f ore th e Emperor himself, assisted by the members of the College ,of the Forest of Pencils (Elan-lin-Yuan). This exa,mina also continues for nine days. It embraces_ all the ancient books —meaning thereby only the Confu cian books, for the Bhuddist and Taouist books are excluded—and also correctwriting and official style. It was probably proficiency in official paper writing which gained Yell his high degree. He practised this talent with great effect upon Parkes and Bowring, but was not in a happy vein when he wrote his replies to Mr. Reed and Lord Elgin . and Baron Gros. I asked, " Your Excellency was judge of Yn nan far four years. Did.lou pass any exami nation u in the Ta Tsing- Loo Lee (the Chinese Code) before "If the Taoli of Bhndda is good and necessary, why is it not included in the public examina:ions?" —cc In ancient rimes it was not *so." • Tnis reply is with Ytth the ending of all contro versy. I once tried . to drive him out of it by say• ing that the custom he spoke of was only of the age of the Han dynasty, and that, even in our eye! , , was comparatively modern. He became very sulky and would not continue the converses len. Mr. Wade has found a great many divination schemes among 'the papers seized at the time of Yeh's capture. I asked him if he had cast any h rosci;pes with a view to foretell political events. He said, " No." I then told him it was under stood that papers of, this kind were among his docu ments. He emphatically denied that this was pos sible. I said it was unfortunate that some misiake had been made, for thas these papers had be. n translated led reported to the British authorities, and would be looked upon as big. He said,' — "I was always busy with official duties ; how could I have time for such things ? " Do people in China generally believe in them ? —Some people among the Chinese believe in such things, and some do not. " What is your Excellency's orinionl—l can't tell you. Sometimes I believe in them, sometimes Ido not. The English have uo cinch custom, so I cannot make you comprehend. " On the contrary, we have such customs. With us the learned sometimes have recourse to divina tion as an amusement ; but the ignorant and iliac rate only really believe that events can f e foretold by such schemes. Perhaps that may be the case also in China I—To some extent that is the case in China." As I was confident as to the fact of the horo scopes having been found, I returned to this point. He grew rather angry, and repeated " .My hours were occupied with official business; how on earth could I find time to cast horescopesl It is true that fortune tellers have been sent to me on various occasions ; such things have been, hut they never influenced public affairs. The finding of these horoscopes has led some persons to the opinion that they influenced you to neglect the defence of Canton ? ' The answer very emphatically given was " No." I ventured one other question, for I felt that I should never get him on the topic again. The an swer was, " Such things were never considered in public business." The Bishop of Victoria, after his visit to Yeb, sent off a Chinese Bible and some tracts wrapped in a newspaper, begging Capt. Biooker to present them. The captain did so. leh said be ban long a g o read the Bible ; it was a gOcid.bookall books of that kind were good—they tend to 'purify the heart, as do the Buddhist and -the Taouis, , books. He begged of Capt. Brooker to put the parcel by for hitu until some convenient season. This time never cane, but on the fifth day of our voyage Mr. Alabaster reproduced the package, and bsgged to have hisopiiiion upon some of thetracts, Yeh opened one of them with an evident effort of peliteness e but soon closed it with a slight grimace. He had apparently been chocked by some solecnin of style. Mr. Alabaster proposed to put the Bible and tracts among some Buddhist books which Yeh's father had ssnt on board for him ; but Yell, affecting to misunderstand this proeesition, replied, " Yes, I think it will be convenient that you replace thein in tire captain's drawer." Mr. 41,baster continuing to turn thtra over, Yeh get up from h s chair and said, " If you will not put them up in the packet as I received them, I will do so myself." There was no more to beclone. The hooks were returned to their envelope and con-igned to the oblivion of one of the lockers, and the Mandarin loofced pleased at being relieved from an unpleasant ,importunitys Tuis was the only time we attempted to force the attention of the old dignitary to this matter. Upon one- other occasion we -invited bird to - wards the subject by asking him Why,,since Buddhism was introduced into China in the Han dynasty, Chtisti anity should not be introduced in the reign of toe sixth E:uperor of the Abntchou Tartar dynasty. " L lei weiyu cheko yangtsu" ("Hitherto this has nut been so"). It is the same answer as you coll et oatly get from Chinanien of lime King in Can ton-English—" Betere time no catchee." Tuis is the answer with which he always termi nates a discus-iou, when he finds it taking the holm of an argument. We then always leave him undis turbed to his owls occupations. These are to smoke his pipe, to choose out rho tot en orauges from his large store, and distribute them among his domes tics, carefully replacing the sound fruit ; to give directions about his dinner, to expostulate with the captain that if lie and *his officers will not eat some portion of his Chinese cakss, they' will only he spoiled. He never reads, and he very eel tom in quires. He has condescended to inquire concerning the French, whether they ate not a nation who drink a good deal of coffse and make a great deal of wine, and he seems quite satisfied with this amount of information concerning the most polite people of the world. He is fond, also, of exhibit ing his stock of quack medicines to Mr. Cotton, the ship's surgeon. Report says, although we have been unable to get Yeh to tell us this, that the Viceroy's father was. an apothe cary, The son manifes,s great interest in European surgery. The most liberal admission I ever heard him make was Upon this subject. Mr. Cotton asked him whether, the Chinese surgeons study anatomy. He answered "No; it would be impolitic to do so in China," Mr. Cotton replica that, in former times it, was so with cur people. Their objection to dissection was se great that snr goons were obliged to study by stealth, bat now people were se alarmed at having to be attended by surgeons who had not studied the human body • that the practice, is rendered legal. Yeh answered, that he could only say the people would nut endure such dthiug in China. " But do you think it objectionable I My in-; dividual opinion is, that dissection for knowledge sake is not wrong." Ho has asked also from time to time questions about the distances from point to point, the situa don of Calcutta; and the distance to England. lie remarked also when he saw me writing with a gold pen, " What extravaeance !" He generally, how ever, declines all argument and believes no expla nation. When I explained that we use gold pens, not because that metal is more , valuable, but be cause it is more flexible, and therefore better adapted to the purpose than any other metal, this reply only elicited an unpleasant laugh, which in its different modifications sounds sometimes like an angry sneer, sometimes like an exclamation of " Fudge !" " Humbug t" When Mr. Alabaster to'd him that at Calcutta he would find among the State captives the last of the ancient Emperors of India, and a king of a great Indian kingdom Feb laughed his bitterest and most incredulous sneer. When, I told him that if we were geing to Etiglit nd instead of Calcutta his voyage woul d extend over 45,000 lei, and that at every spot where cast anchor he would find a Brit ish g ove the e s_lup soldiers, and the British flag ,- ri ably laughed " Fudge !" he mtake- WEI We asked him one day what hi s estimate_ was of the difference between the English and Chinese E c h ar acter ;he said T_ ‘heglish are Ning - k a u' anything.n The Chinese —ready and able must have teaching g d' inothge-y m ust have precedent.

He once manifested some degree to know some thing • o f the history of British India. W hether his curiosity was awakened by religious or poltiical rea sons he did not explain ; but Mr. Alabaster offered to make a compast with him to read together a short history of India if Yeh would agree to read with him the four sacred books of China. Here is a chance which all the sinologues of Europe and China may envy this young man.
