CITY Op LONDON REGISTRATION. Yesterday morning Mr. R. Christie, the revising bar rister, proceeded with his revision of the list of voters for the City, in the Court of Common Pleas, Guildhall. After a few unimportant cases had been disposed of, the arguments in the case of Sir James Duke, Bart., 111. P., were resumed, and his Honour gave the following judgment :—The question is for an important principle, and should be generally known. A man must be for mally translated before he could become possessed of the rights and privileges of a second company, and it was not because a clerk had on any former occasions inserted his name—which had been passed over unnoticed—tbat it was correct. His present decision was that Sir James Duke's name had b:ien properly omitted. Mr. Smith said that an act of Parliament bad been passed during the past year abolishing the stamp duty for the admission of freemen, and any person who was on the register as a voter for the City could now, by the payment of 95., be admitted a freeman, and thereby en abled to vote in the municipal elections. The Court then proceeded with the householders' list, but nothing worth reporting took place. Tnc 13LtOAD GAUGE TO SALIM:W.—A meeting of the directors of the projected line of railway from Salisbury to Southampton was held on Monday last, at which an int;mation was received from the directors of the South-Western that they would like to receive a de putation from the former body, to talk over matters bearing upon the various interests involved in the pro posed undertaking. On Thursday the representatives of both lines met, in London, to the number of about a dozen, attended by their solicitors, and we understand the result of their deliberations will be laid before a meeting of the broad • .rigs directors, to be held on Monday next.—Hanyi -3 Independent. Accounts from Chris,: - - a give satisfactory particulars of the progress of the Norwegian Railway, the shares of which are chiefly held in England. The gross receipts of the past 12 months have been $144,061, against $120,000 in the preceding year, and the passengers con veyed were 160,874, showing an increase of 32,827. In the goods traffic the increase ha- been $18,563, while at the same time, there has been a considerable reduction in expenditure. These improved results are stated to have arisen chiefly from the expansion of the internal resources of the districts around the Miosen Lake which have been brought into connexion with Chrhtiania by the railway. Two new steamers have lately been placed on the lake to meet the increasing requirements of the traffic, and the town of Hammer on its shores, which had been for years gradually declining, is now becoming an extensive depot for the produce of the surrounding country. _ _ _ IrFATIT, ACCIDENT.—On Sunday night a man named Richard Scott, an ornamental painter, aged 76, and for the last 50 years an inhabitant of Exeter-street, Strand, left the Savoy Palace Tavern about half-past 10 to re turn home, but in crossing the road towards the Lyceum Theatre he was knocked down by a cab pa•;sLrig at a rapid :ate, the driver of which drove on. A'persou engaged in some ale stores raw the accident, ani with the a , sistance of Police-constable 45 F the deceased was raised, but the impression of the constable was that he was only drunk, although he was bleeding from a wound in the head. He was accordingly taken to the Bow street station, when the officer on duty sent for Mr. Sn;tch, surgeon, of Brydges-street, who advis e d hi s being taken to ing's College Hospital. lie was taken there but not admitted, and he Rs taken hack and placed in a cell in the station. In the morning the offi cers f mnd him in the same state, and Mr. Snitch was again sent for, who ordered his removal to the hospital at nine o'clock ; he was then received, put to bed, and died on Monday afternoon. ARTICLE Ir. The interests of all British subjects coming to Siam shall be placed under the regulation and control of a Consul, who will be appointed to reside at Bangkok : he will himself conform to, and will enforce the observ ance by British subjects, of all the provisions of this treaty, and such of the former treaty negotiate i by Captain Burney in 1826, as shall still remain in opera tion. He shall also give effect to all rues or regulations that are now or may hereafter be enacted for the government of British subjects in Siam, the conduct of their trade, and for the prevention of violations of the laws of Siam. Any disputes arising between British and Siamese subjects shall be heard and determined by the Consul, in conjunction with the proper Siamese officers ; and criminal offences will be punished, in the case of English offenders by the Consul according to English laws, and in the case of Siamese offenders, by their own laws, through the Siamese authorities. But the Consul shall not interfere in any matters referring solely to Siamese, neither will the Siamese authorities interfere in questions which only concern the subjects of her Britannic Majesty. It is understood, however, that thearrival of the British Consul at Bangkok shall not take place before the ratifi cation of this treaty, nor until ten vessels owned by British subjects, sailing under British colours and with British papers, shall have entered the port of Bangkok for purposes of trade, subsequent to the signing of this treaty. ARTICLE 111. If Siamese in the employ of British subjects offend against the laws of their country, or if any Siamese having so offended or desiring to desert, take refuge with a British subject in Siam, they shall be searched for, and, upon proof of their guilt or desertion, shall be delivered up by the Consul to the Siamese authorities. In like manner, any British offenders resident or trading in Siam, who may desert, escape to, or hide themselves in, Siamese territory, shall be apprehended and delivered over to the British Consul on his requisition. Chinese, not able to prove themselves to be British subjects, shall not be considered as such by the British Consul, nor be entitled to his protection. ___ ARTICLE IV. British subjects are permitted to trade freely in all the seaports of Siam, but may reside permanently only at Bangkok, or within the limits assigned by this treaty. British subjects coming to reside at Bangkok may rent land, and buy or build 4p118e9, but cannot purchase lands within a circuit of 200 sea (not more than four miles English) from the city walls, until they shall have lived in Siam for ten years, or shall obtain especial au thority from the Siamese Government to enable them to do so. But with the exception of this limitation, Bri tish residents in Siam may at any time buy or rcnt houses, land'', or plantations, situated anywhere within a distance of 24 hours' journey from the city of Bangkok, to be computed by the rate at which boats of the country can travel. In order to obtain possession of such lands or houses, it will be necessary that the British subject shall, in the first place, make application through the Consul to the proper Siamese officer ; and the Siamese officer and the Consul having satisfied them• , selves of the honest intentions of the applicant, will assist him in settling, upon equitable terms, the amount of the purchase-money, will mark out and fix the boundaries of the property, and will convey the same to the British purchaser under sealed deeds. Whereupon he and his property shall be placed under the protectio❑ of the Go vernor of ;the district and that of the particular local authorities ; he shall conform in ordinary matters to any just directions given him by them, and will be subject to the same taxation that is levied on Siamese subjec's. But if, through negligence, the want of capital, or other cause, a British subject should fail to commence the cut- tivation or improvement of the lands 83 acquired within a term of three years from the date of receiving possession thereof, the Siamese Government shall have the power of resuming the property, upon returning to the British subject the purchase-money paid by him for the same. ARTICLE V. All British subjects intending to reside in Siam shall be registered at the British Consulate. They shall not go out t) sea, nor proceed beyond the limits assigned by this treaty for the residence of Bri tish subjects, without a passport from the Siamese autho rities, to be applied for by the British Consul ; nor shall they leave Siam, if the Siamese authorities show to the British Consul that legitimate objections exist as to their quitting the country. But within the limits appointed under the preceding article, British subjects are at liberty to travel to and fro under the protection of a pass, to be furnished them by the British Consul, and coun ter-sealed by the proper Siamese officer, stating, in the Siamese character, their names, calling, and descrip tion. The Siamese officers at the Government stations in the interior may, at any time, call for the pr.4duction of this pass. and immediately on its being exhibited, they must allow the parties to proceed ; but it will be their duty to detain those parties who, by travelling without a pass from the Consul, render themselves lia ble to the suspicion of their being deserters ; and such detention shall be immediately reported to the Consul. ARTICLE VI. All British subjects visiting or residing in Siam shall be allowed the free exercise of the Christian religion, and liberty to build churches in such localities as shall be consented to by the Siamese authorities. The Sia mese Government will place no restrictions upon the employment by the English of Siamc e subjects as ser vants, or in any other capacity. But wherever a Sia mese subject belongs or owci service to some particular master, the servant who engages himself to a British subject without the consent of his mastar, may be re claimed by him ; and the Siamese Government will not enforce an agreement between a British subject and any Siamese in his employ, unless made with the know leige and consent of the master, who has a right to dis pose of the services of the person engaged. ARTICLE VII. British ships of war may enter the river, and anchor at Paknam, but they shall not proceed above Paknam, unless with the consent of the Siamese authorities, which shall be given where it is necessary that a ship shall go into dock for repaire. Any British ship of war conveying to Siam a public functionary accredited by her Majesty's Government to the Court of Bangkok, shall he allowed to come up to Bangkok, but shall not pass the forts called Pong Phrachamit and Pit-patch nuck, unless expressly permitted to do so by the Siamese Government ; but in the absence of a British ship of war, the Siamese authorities engage to furnish the Con sul with a force sufficient to enable him to give effect to his authority ever British subjects, and to enforce disci pline among British shipping. ARTICLE VIII. The measurement duty hitherto paid by British ves sels trading to Bangkok under tba Treaty of 1825, shall be abolished from the date of this Treaty corning into operation, and Britiih shipping and trade will thence forth ba only subject to tie payment of import and ex port duties on the goo Is landed or shipped. OR all articles of import the duties shall be 3 per cent., payable at the option of the importer, either in kind or money, calculated upon the marktt value of the g ;eds. Draw back of the full amount of duty shall be allowed upon goods found unsaleable and r 7dorte.l. Should the Brit'sh merchant and the Custe f 'iouse officers disagree as to the value to be et upon impotte I article., such disputes shall be refereed to the Consul and proper Siamese officer, who shall each have the power to call in an equal number of merchants as assessors, not ex ceeding two on either side, to assist them in coming to an equitable decision. Opium may be imported free of duty, but can only be sold to the opium farmer or his agents. In the event of no arrangement being effected with them for the sale of the opium, it shall be levied theron. Any infringement of this regulation shall subject the opium to seizure and confiscation. Articles of export from the time of production to the date of shipment, shall pay one impost only, whether this be levied under the name of in'and tax, transit duty, or duty on exportation. The tax or duty to be paid on each article of Siamese produce previous t o or upon ex pertation, is specified in the tariff attached to this treaty ; and it is distinctly agreed that goods or pro duce which pay any description of tax in the interior, shall be exempted from any further payment of duty on exportation. English merchants are to be allowed to purchase di rattly from the producer the articles in which they trade, and in like manner to sell their goods directly to ARTICLE IX. The cede of regulations appended to this treaty shall be enforced by the consul, with the co-operation of the Siamese authorities ; and they, the said authorities and consul, shall bo enabled to introduce any further regula tions which may be found necessary, in order to give effect to the objects of this treaty. An fines and penalties inflicted for infraction of the provisions and regulations of this treaty shall be paid to the Siamese Government. Until the British Consul shall arrive at Bangkok, and enter upon his functions, the consignees of British ves sels shall be at liberty to settle with the Siamese authori ties all questions relating to their trade. ARTICLE X. The British Government and its subjects will be al lowed free and equal participation in any privileges that may have been, or may hereafter be granted by the Sia mese Government to the g nernment or subjects of any other nation. ARTICLE XL After the lapse of ten years from the date of the ratifi cation of this treaty, upon the desire of either the Bri tish or Siamese Governments, and on 12 months' notice given by either party, the present and such portions of the treaty of 1826 as remain unrevoked by this treaty, together with the tariff and regulations hereuntoannexed or those that may hereafter be introduced, shall be sub ject to revision by commissioner:; appointed on both ,ides for this purpose, who will be empowered to decide on and insert therein such amendments as experience shall prove to be desirable. ARTICLE This treaty executed in English and Siamese, both versions having the same meaning and intention, and the ratifications thereof having been previously ex changed, shall take effect from the sixth day of April in the year one thousand eight hundred and fifty-six of the Cinistain era, corresponding to the first day of the fifth month of the one thousand two hundred and eighteenth year of the Siamese civil era. In witness whereof the above-named Plenipot,ntiaries have signed and sealed the present treaty in quadrupli cate at Bangkok, on the present eighteenth day of April, in the year one thousand eight hundred and fifty-five of the Christian era, corresponding to the second day of the sixth month of the one thousand two hundred and seventeenth year of the Siamese civil era. JOHN BOWRING. (L. S.) (Signatures an] seals of the five Siamese Pienipo. tentiaries.) GENER&L REGULATIONS UNDER WHICH BRITISH TRADE IS TO BE CONTINUED IN SIAM. REGULATION I.

Mr. Parkes having stated, on his arrival at Bangkok, as bearer of her Britannic Majesty's ratification of the treaty of friendship and commerce, concluded on the 18th day of April, 1855, between her Majesty the Queen of the Un:t al Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, and their Majesties Pura Bard Sorndetch Phra, Para rnendr Maha Mongkut Phra Chom Klau Chau Yu Hun, the First King of Siam, and Phra Bard Somdetch Phra Pawarendr Ramesr Mahiswaresr Phra Pin Klan Chau Yu Hua, the Second King of Siam, that be was instructed by the Earl of Clarendon, her Britannic Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, to request the Siamese Government to consent to an enumeration of those articles of the former treaty, concluded in 1826, between the Hon. East India Com. pany and their late Majesties the First and Second Kings of Slain, which are aarogated by the treaty first named, and also to agree to certain explanations which appear necessary to mark the precise force and application of certain portions of the new treaty ; their aforesaid Ma jesties, the First and Second Kings of Siam, have ap pointed and empowered certain Royal Commissioners, namely, his Royal Highness Krom Hluang Won g-sa Dhiraj Snidb, and their Excellencies the four Gena puthies or Principal Ministe - s of Siam, to confer and arrange with Mr. Parkes the matters above named ; and the said Royal C nnmissianers having accordingly met Mr. Parkes for this purpose on repeated occasions, and maturely considered all the subjects brought by him to their notice, have resolved : That it is proper, in order to prevent future contro. versy, that those clauses of the old treaty which are abrogated by the new treaty should be distinctly speci fied, and that any cause of the new treaty which is not sufficiently clear should be fully explained. To this end they have agreed to and concluded the following twelve articles : ARTICLE I. Oa the Old Treaty concluded in 1826. The articles of the old treaty not abrogated by the new treaty are 1., 11., 111., VIII., XL, XII., XIII., and XIV., and the under-mentioned clauses of articles VI. and X. In article VI. the Siamese desire to retain the follow ing clause : " If a Siamese or English merchant buy or sell, with out inquiring and ascertaining whether the seller or buyer be of a good or bad character ; and if he meet with a bad man, who takes the property and absconds, the rulers and officers on either side must make search and endeavour to produce the property of the absconder, and investigate the matter with sincerity. If the party possess money or property he can be made to pay ; but if he does not possess any, or if he cannot be appre berried, it will be the merchant's own fault, and the authorities cannot be held responsible." Of Article X. Mr. Parkes desires to retain that clause relating to the overland trade, which states : "Asiatic merchants of the English countries, not being Burmese, Pegouans, or descendants.sf Europeans desiring to enter into and to trade with the Siamese do minions, from the countries of Mergui, Tavoy, Tenas• sertm, and Ye, which are now subject to the English, will be allowed to do so freely overland and by water, upon the English furnishing them with proper certifi• cates." Mr. Parkes however desires that all British subjects, without exception, shall be allowed to partici pate in this overland trade. The said Royal Commis sioners therefore agree, on the part of the Siamese, that all traders, under British rule, may cross from the British territories of Mergui, Tavoy, Ye, Tenasserim, Pegu, or other places, by land or by water, to the Siamese territories, and may trade there with facility, on the condition that they shall be provided by the British authorities with proper certificates, which must be renewed for each journey. The commercial agreement annexed to the old treaty is abrogated by the new treaty, with the exception of the under-mentioned clauses of Articles I. and IV. Of Article I. the Siamese desire to retain the follow ing clause _ _ British merchants importing fire arm., shot, or gun powder, are prohibited from selling them to any party but the Government ; should the Government not re quire such fire arms, shot, or gunpowder, the merchants must re-export the whole of them." Article IV. stipulates that no charge or duty shall be levied on boats carrying cargo to British ships at the bar. The Siamese desirC r t..?..f.B e nc.4 tiaja.alaase, for-th 44 reason that the old rtf;i;3iii-e — ment duty of 1,700 ticats per . fathom included the fees of the various officers, but as this measurement duty has now been aholi-hed, the Siamese wish to levy on each native boat taking cargo out to sea, a fee of 8 ticals, 2 salungs, this being the charge paid by Siamese traders ; and Mr. Parkes under takes to submit this point to the consideration of Her Majesty's Minister Plenipotentiary to the Court of Siam. ARTICLE 11. On the exclusive jurisdiction of the Consul over British subjects. The llnd article of the treaty stipulates that—" Any di.putes arising between British and Siamese subject., shall be heard and determined by the Consul in conjunc tion with the proper Siamese officers ; and criminal of fenders will be punished, in the case of English offenders by the Consul according to English laws, and in the case of Siamese offenders, by their_ own laws, through the Siamese authorities ; but the Consul shall not interfere in anv matters referring solely to Siamese, neither will the Siamese authorities interfere in questions which only concern the subjec s of Her Britannic Majesty." . . On the non-interference of the Cutisul with the Siamese, or of the Siamese with British subjects, the said royal commis4ioners desire, in the first place, to state that while, for natural reasons, they fully approve of the Consul holding no jurisdiction over Siamese in their own country, the Siamese authorities, on the other hand, will feel themselves hound to call on the Consul ti apprehend and punish British subjects who shall com mit, whilst in Siamese territory, any grave infractions of the laws, such as cutting, wounding►, or inflicting other serious kedily harm. But in disputes, or in offences of a slighter nature, committed by British sub jects among themselves, the Siamese authorities will refrain from all interference. With reference to the punishment of offences, or the settlement of disputes, it is agreed : That all criminal cases in which both parties are B 7 i tisk subj cts,or in which the defendant is a British sub ject, shall be tiled and determined by the British Consul Wone. All criminal cases in which both parties are Siamese, or in which the defendant is a Siamese, shall be tried and determined by the Siamese authorities alone. That all civil oases in which both parties are British subject ,, , or in which the defendant is a British subject, shall be beard and determined by the British Consul alone. All civil cases in which both parties are Siamese, or in which the defendant is a Siameso, -shall be heard and determined by the Siamese authorities alone. That whenever a British subject has to complain against a Siamese , he must make his complaint through the British Consul, who will lay it before the proper Siamese authorities. That m all cases in which Siamese or British subjects are interested, the Siamese authorities in the one case, and the British Consul in the other, shall be at liberty to attend at, and listen to, the investigation of the case ; and copies of the proceedings will be furnished from time to time, or whenever desired, to the Consul or the Siamese authorities, until the case is concluded. That although the Siamese may intern re so far with British subjects, as to call up!) the Consul,in th e manner stated in this article, to punish grave offences when coin mi.ted by British subjects, it is agreed that — B itish subjects, their persons, houses, premise', lands, ships, or property of any kind, shall not be seized, injured, or in any way interfered with by the Siamese. In case of any violation bi this stipulation, the Siamese authorities will take cognizance of the case, and punish the offenders. On the other band, Siamese subjects, their persons, houses, premises, or property of any kind shall not be seized, injured, or in any way interfered by the Bi,glisb, and the British Consul shall investigate and punish any breach of this stipulation. ARTICLE 111. On the right of British Sabjectsto dispose of their property at will. By the fourth article of the treaty British subjects are allowed to purchase in Siam " houses, gardens, fields, or plantations." It is agreed, in reference to this stipula tion, that British subjects, who have accordingly pur chased houses, gardens, fields, or plantations, are at liberty to sell the same to whomsoever they please. In the event of a British subject dying in Siam, and leaving houses, lands, or other property, his relations, or those persons who are heirs according to English law, shall receive possession of the said property ; and the British Consul, or some one appointed by the British Consul, may prcceed at once to take charge of the said pro perty on their account. If the deceased should have debts due t him by the Siamese, or other persons, the Consul can collect them, and if the deceaed should owe money, the Consul shall liquidate his debts as far as the esta'c of the deceased shall suffice. ARTICLE IV. On the Taxes, Duties, or other Charges leviable on B'ritish Subjects. Tt:e IVth article of the treaty provides for the pay ment on the lands held or purchased by British subjects, of " the same taxation that is levied on Siamese sub jects." The taxes here alluded to are those set forth in the annexed schedule. Again, it is stated in the VIIIth Article, that "British subjects are to pay import and export duties according to the tariff annexed to the tr. aty." Fcr the sake of greater distinctness, it is ne cessary to add to these two clauses the following exp!a na ion, namely, that beside the land tax:and th 3 import and export duties, mentioned in the aforesaid at ticles, no additional charge or tax of any kind may be imposed upon a British subject, unless A obtain the sanction both of the euprane Siamese antl orLies and the Bi , • Consul. ARTICLE Y. On Passes and Port Clearances. - tz3 - The Vth Article of the treat • y provides that passports Kt s shall be granted to travellers, and the Vth Article of the c"" Regulations that port clearances shall be furnished to ships; in reference thereto, the said rrya' commissioners, at the request of Mr. Parkes, agree that the passports to be given to Brithl subjects travelling beyond the limits assigned by the treaty for the residence of British subjects, together with the passes for cargo-boats and the port clearances of British ships shall be issued within 24 hours after formal application for the same shall have been made to the proper Siamese authorities; but if reasi n tble cause should at any time exist for dela , ing or withholding the issue of any of these papers, the Siamese authorities must at once communicate it to the Consul. Passports for British subj, etc travelling in tbeinterior, and 1123 port clearances of Eritish ships, will be granted by the Siamese authorities free of charge. ARTICLE VI. On the prohibition of the exportation cf rice, salt, and fish, and on the duty on paddy. The VIIIth article of the treaty stipulates, that, " whenever a scarcity may be apprehended of salt, rice, and fib, the Siamese Government reserve to themselves the right of prehibitin by public proclamation the ex portation of these articles." Mr. Parkes, in elucidation of this clause, desires an agreement to this effect, namely, that a month's notice shall be given by the Siamese authorities to the Consul, prior to the enforcement of the prohibition, and that British subjects who may previously obtain special per mission from the Siamese authorities to export a certain quantity of rice which they have already purchased, may do so even after the pe.hibition comes in force. Mr. Parkes also requests that the expott duty on paddy should be half of that on rice, namely, 2 ticals per koyan. The said Royal Commis , ioners having in view the fact that rice forms the principal sustenance of the nation, stipulate, that on the breaking out of war or rebellion, the Siamese may prohibit the trade in rice, and may enforce the prohibition so long as the hostilities thus occasioned shall continue. If a dearth should be appre hended on account of the want or excess of rain, the Consul will be informed one month previous to the en- I,- - cement of the prohibition. British merchants who obtain the royal permission upon the issue of the pro clamation to export a certain quantity of rice which they have already purchased, may do so, irrespective of tbiii prohibition to the contrary ; but th3se merchants who do not obtain the royal permission will not be allowed, when the prohibition takes effect, to export the rice they may already have purchased. The prohibition shall be removed as soon as the cause of its being imposed shall have ceased to exist. Paddy may be exported on payment of a duty of 2 ti cals per koyar, or half the amount levied on rice. ARTICLE VII. On p^rmission to import Gold Leaf as Bullion. Under the eighth article of the treaty, bullion may be imported or exported free of charge. With reference to this clause, the said royal oommissior.erA, at the request of 111 r. Parkes, agree that foreign c sins of every denomi nation, gold and silver in bars or ingots, and gold-leaf, may be imported free ; but manufactured articles in gold and silver, plated ware, and diamonds or other precious stones, must pay an import duty of three per cent. ARTICLE VIII. On the establishment of a Custom House. The said royal commissioners at the request of Mr. Parkes, and in conformity with the intent of the eighth article of the new treaty, agree ta the immediate estab lishment of a custom ileitis., under the superintendence of a high go'vernment functionary, for the examination of all goods landed or shipped, and the receipt of the im port and export duties due thereon. They further agree that the business of the custom house shall be con ducted under the regulations annexed to this agreement. ARTICLE IX. On the subsequent Taxation of Articles now free from Duty. Mr. Parkes agrees with the said royal commissioners that whenever the Siamese Government deem it to be beneficial for the country to impose a single tax or duty on any article not now subject to a public charge of any kind, they are at liberty to do so, provided that the said tax be just and reasonable. ARTICLE X. On the Boundaries of the Four Mile Circuit. Tt is stipulated in the IVth Article of the treaty that "British subjects coming to reside at Bangkok may rent lanil and buy or build houses, but cannot purchase lands within a circuit of 200 sen (not more than four English miles) from the city walls, until they shall have lived in Siam for ten years, or shall obtain special authority from the Siamese Government to enable them to do so." The points to which this circuit extends, due north, south, east, and west of the city, and the spot where it cranes the river below Bangkok, have accordingly been measured by officers on the part of the Siamese and Eoglish ; and their measurements, having been examined and agreed to by the said Royal Commissioners and Mr. Parkes, are marked by stone pillars placed at the under. mentioned localities, viz. : On the North. One sem north of Vat Kemabhirataram. On the East. Six sem and seven fathoms south-west of Wat Bang kapi. On the South. a south ef4k*p Oa the West. About two sen south-west of the village of Bangphrom. The pillars marking the spot where the circuit line cra-st s the river below Bangkok are placed on the left bank three BC7I below the village of Bangmacau, and on the right bank about one sen below the village of Bang lampuluen. ARTICLE XI. On the Boundaries of the Twenty-four hours' Journey. It is stipulated in the 4th article of the treaty, that " excepting within the circuit of f miles British merchants in Siam may at any time buy or rent lion zes, lantiv, or plantations, situated anywhere within a distance of 24 hours' jaurney from the city of Bangkok, to ba computed by the rate at which boats of the country can travel." The said Royal Commissioner 3 and Mr. Parkes have consulted together on thia subject, and have agreed that the boundaries of the said 24 hours' journey shall be as follows : 1. On the North. The Bangputea Canal from its mouth .on the Chow Phya river, to the old city walls of Lobpury, and straight line from Lopbury to the landing place of Tha Phra-nwlro, near to the town of Saraburi, on the Rivcr Pasak. 2.
