By GEORGE AGAR HANSARD, Esq., Gwent Bowman, Author of " Trout and Salmon Fishing in THE CHINESE QUESTION violate the laws of the country to which they traded, their Government could not interfere to protect them from any loss which they might bring upon themselves. For what, then, is the Government responsible? Will it be said that they are responsible for not giving Captain Elliot arbitrary powers to enforce against British mer chants trading to China the Chinese fiscal laws, which the Chinese authorities themselves had neither the will nor the power to enforce? • If this country could have borne that its merchants should be subjected to ar bitrary control by a British officer, and such con trol had been exercised, we have seen by the results of Lin's measures what would have been the cense qu-nce—not the suppression of the traffic, but its dispersion into the channe'‘e where it is least under control. The coasts of China to an unlimited extent are accessible to it, anti there it flourishes, far from any British authority, and equally safe from Commissioner Lin. The moral of this is one which has lone been known in England; namely, that the only available means of checking the consumption of pernicious stimulants is not by prohibiting them, but by admitting them to consumption at the highest duties which arc consistent with the suppression of contra band traffic. The remaining party who has been charged with abetting the trade in opium is Captain Elliot. We have seen that Captain Elliot, in his despatch of the 16th November, 1839, foresaw the possibility of such a charge being brought by half-informed persons, but he could hardly have supposed that it would be brought by persons who had read, or had an opportunity of reading, the long series of his despatches from 1836 to 1839—those, for instance, from which it ap pears that from the early part of 1836 he remonstrated with the Chamber of Commerce at Canton (ante, p. 70), and that he constantly spoke of it to his Government as " a source of painful reflection," (p. 53); as a subject which he never adverts to without reluctance," a " dis tressing degradation" (p. 73) ; as .4 rapidly staining the British character with deep disgrace" (p. 77) ; as iavolv ing danger and shame, and leading to some catastrophe by which " His Majesty's Government would be drawn into the necessity of very urgent, expensive, and hazardous measures upon the most painful grounds" (p. 71). For holding these opinions, he stated at the time that " a tor rent of censure had been poured upon him through the medium of the Canton newspapers" (p. 72). Let us now see with what sort of censure he was visited at home, by persons who had before them in the Parliamentary volume all the despatches above cited, though not at the moment the additional despatch of the 16th November, 1839. On the 24th ultimo (we are writing in April, 1840) a short debate took place in the House of Commons; and on that occasion Sir George Staunton alleged that Captain Elliot had countenanced the opium trade, and adduced in proef a passage in one of Captain Elliot's despatches, in which he speaks of the obstruction to it as producing an " unfortunate effect on the general trade." Undoubtedly the embarrassment of the general trade was an unfortunate effect ; and if Sir G. Staunton will look at Captain Elliot's despatch of the 21st of February, 1837 (at p. 53 ante), he will find I hat Captain Elliot, whilst altogether objecting to the opium-trade on other grounds, argued against it even on the mere ground of policy, because, being itself ex ceedingly fluctuating and liable to accidents, it was, never theless, the wheel which turned the whole machine of commerce in those parts, and obstructions to it became thus a great commercial evil. This is an evil which Captain Elliot never thought of disguising or extenuating ; but instead of finding in it any reason for countenancing the trade, it is what he insisted upon as a ground for getting rid of it in the only way in which such evils can be got rid of,—that is, gradually, by the introduction of an innocent substitute. It is further affirmed by Sir G. Staunton, that the Go vernment is responsible for the opium-trade down to the period when Lin's measures were taken, because Captain Elliot only ordered the receiving-ships to quit the coast on the I] th September, 1839, whereas, if he had given this order three years, or even seven months, before, all would have been safe. Lord Palmerston answered, that Captain Elliot had no power to do so; to which Sir G. Staunton rejoined that he did it at last, and therefore he might have done it at first. Now, let Captain Elliot's position be regarded, and then let es see what is the worth of such an argument as this. When the trade was a monopoly in the hands of the East India Company, the ships could not trade without licences, and the licences contained an obligation to obey the orders of the supercargoes at Canton. When the trade was freed, the superintendents succeeded to the duties of the super. cargoes, but not to their powers • because, as no licences were required, no obligations could be enforced. When Captain Elliot had appeared to contemplate the exercise of the supercargoes' power, and to prevent a steam-verse from going up the river, Lord Palmerston explained the state of the law to him, and cautioned him against the as sumption of an authority which he did not possess, and ad vised him not to issue orders which might be set at nought' and thereby impair the respect due to his office. How comes it, then, says Sir George Staunton, that he had the authority, and could give effect to it, on the 11th of September, 1839? The answer is, that he had no more legal or official authority then than before ; but that from first to List his authority was an authority of moral Ulu. ence ; an authority of circumstance ; an authority of guid ance, persuasion, and management. In 1836, there WAS a trade worth millions, sanctioned by a Committee of the House of Commons, contributing largely to the revenues of British India, connived at by Chinese viceroys, and dear as their very life's blood to this Keun-Min-Foo and that Kwangheep. There were a set of British merchants, eager and independent, some of them certainly (Mr. lures for example) perverse and turbulent, and all, according to Sir George Robinson, divided into factions and animated by a violent party spirit ?—and these persons were to be governed by management without power. At that period Captain Elliot, standing alone in his opinions, may well be conceived to have taken the measure of his authority and found it wanting; and it then behoved him, in obedience to his instructions, not to issue orders which, bring set at nought, would only have brought his vice into contempt. These were the circumstances of 1836. But in September, 1839 there was a different set of cir cumstances ; every sort of violence on the part of the Chinese, jeopardy and extremity on the part of the mer chants—the trade embarrassed--two millions of property confiscated—a fleet in danger—and peace or war upon the issue. If it be asked whence came Captain Elliot's authority over the merchants in such circumstances as these, the answer is, that it was the authority of a man eho had placed himself at their bead when a leader was wanted ; who had forced his way to them in the moment of danger ; who had been ready in every emergency ; had shrunk from no responsibility ; whose jusgment had been tried, and whose foresight had been proved ; who had shared their prison and accomplished their deliverance; and, finally, it was the authority of a commanding mind on a critical occasion. If Sir George Staunton had been upon the spot at that particular period, and had himself fallen under the operation of one of Lin's edicts, bidding him to " tremble intensely," he would possibly have felt more disposed than he might have been under other circum stances to obey an older for leaving China, however little warranted by law. In the private accounts of these transactions some descriptions have been given of the breathless anxiety with which the merchants confined in tnc factory watched the approach of Captain Elliot, as, sailing and pulling in his four-oared gig, he eluded the chase of the Chinese guard-boats ; and a picture has been drawn, too, of the enthusiasm with which he was received when he landed on the quay. If Sir George Staunton had been one of those merchants, perhaps he would be betterjable to understand the nature of the authority which Captain Elliot exercised over them from that time forward, and how it came to be greater in extent than that which be had been enabled to exercise in 1636. But the despatches which were received in this country a few days ago (March 27, 1840) arc now to be added to all the previous evidence of Captain Elliot's opinions and con duet on this head; and that evidence may be well wound up with the following passage from his despatch of the 16th November, 1839:—" if my private feelings were of the least consequence upon questions of a public and important nature, surely I might justly say that no man entertains a deeper detestation of the disgrace and sin of this forced traffic on the coast of China than the humble individual who signs this despatch. I see little to choose between it and piracy ; and in my place as a public officer I have steadily discountenanced it by all the lawful means in my power, and at the total sacrifice of my private comfort in the society in which I have lived for some years past." We have now passed in review the main accusations which have been preferred, and have stated the conclusions to which we have come in discharge of the several British parties who have been alleged to be responsible for the opium trade. But the great and governing principle to be looked to in this matter is, that moral evils are to be met by moral cures ; that vice is to be encountered, not by ex cluding the material product which subserves to it, but by imparting to the heart of the sinner an impulse which shall give him the victory over his sin. If this remedy be within reach, trade may take its course, and will carry nothing to the shores of China but what is useful and salutary in articles of commerce, together with civilizing knowledge, and in God's good time (let us hope) the doctrines of the Christian faith. Without this remedy, all legislative prohibitions and penalties will be ineffec tual ; the opium of Malwa will press in when the opium of Bengal is kept out; what cannot enter by the river will find a way by the inlet or the creek ; and even if all the Indian opium were excluded, there would remain the supply to be derived from growing the poppy in China, which war one one of the schemes recommended to the Emperor by tbnse very Ministers who advocated the pro hibition of foreign opium. The questions of responsibility on account of the con tinuance of the Opium Trade in 1839 being disposed of, those which remain to be considered relate to the proceed ingsLios taken on behalf of the British merchants on For' arrival at Canton, and to the s ubsequent events. . couldthe not measures ha‘, takene been foreseen, e t s h e e e spot, o t t h:e under Government b s l e at forca Cant t h o e n selection u o : o of f the responsible ofii e e r who conducted than t iis t e ‘ s responsible it was t w h h e o d m uty th o ey f the eGovernmentfelypermTt to act a a c o e t at up 00.

They were unable to retain the PUBLICATION S. PRICE sd. scry ces of Mr. Davis (an able and judicious man who had had experience in office under the East India Company ;) for he wished to return to his native country. They seem not to have been desirous to retain those of Sir G. Robin son.(also experienced), who had removed the scat of the Commission to the head quarters of the smugglers. Cap tain Elliot came next in succession ; he had not been more than a year or two at Canton ; and if they were not ready to adopt at once some suggestions of his, rther novel in character and on important points, they were surely ju,ti ti 'd in withholding this extent of confidence at. that time. His experience of China was short; their experience of him was still shorter. They knew him to be a man of character and ability ; any man on the spot was better than a total stranger to the business; and he was,, therefore, the beet man they could employ when it became 'leas s:,ry to withdraw Sir G. Robinson. But it certainly be hoved them to eye a little into his manner of conducting atr..iirs before they gave him an unlimited confidence, Ac c it appears that he was rather checked in adopt ing novel courses at first; and that ne was very little interfered with afterwards. When the crisis came, interference was out of the ques ti•m ; he had to act for himself; on his own judgment he assumed enormous responsibilities; and it is on him that those responsibilities must rest, except in so far as his Go vetnment may see fit to assume them, by subsequent ap proval of what has been done. As to the fault which has been found with him for placing himself in the power of the Chinese by joining the impri soned merchants at Carlton, we have already adverted to it, and we need say little more. It seems to have been assumed that he might have negotiated better had he kept himself at liberty. But in reality he had no means of ne gotiation, whether confined or free. The frigate did not arrive till afterwards, and he had no advantage to offer nor any force to employ. But had it been otherwise, with what confidence or spirit could any British officer carry on negotiations affecting the lives of two hundred British merchants, whilst he was holding himself aloof from the Winger which threatened him? It was only by sharing the danger that any generous man could etiab'.o himself to take an assured tone, and act with becoming determina tion. As the case turned out, determination could be of ne avail, except to prevent the confusion and mischief which might have resulted from leaving the matter to be settled by two hundred separate negotiators—many of them probably having separate interests, some being in more danger, and some in less, some having much pro perty at stake, some little, and others none at all. Having therefore forced his way to the factory and taken the management of affairs, he made all conflicting opi nions heed to one clear and decisive course. It was plain to him that either life or property must be sacrificed. It night be many lives, or it might be few ; Mr, Dent might have been tortured or put to death; and that of self might have brought the rest of the merchants to one mind. Or it might have been the pleasure of the Commissioner, according to Chinese policy, to begin with one or two miserable Ilong merchants; or the whole of the prisoners might have been operated upon simulta neously by gradual starvation. In one way or another Captain Elliot perceived that the property must be sur rendered at last; and be locked about for the comae by which the least present mischief might be occasioned, by which the British name and character might suffer the least degradation, and by which the game which was lost fur the moment might best be retrieved hereafter. The course which he chose was that which should place all the responsibility upon himself, and vest in his Go vernment the most perfect right to demand from the Go vernment of China reparation for every wrong, and indem nity for every loss. The property in question was not justly forfeited, even had the mode of enforcing the forfeiture been other than the barbarous mode adopted. When it left Bengel, the shippers conld not know what would be the final result of the vacillation and division of opinion in the Cabinet at Peking .as to the legalization of the trade. Even when it arrived in the seas of hina, t.e consignees might reasonably doubt wheth the uecision to prohibit would be carried into e ect— and it was not in the port of Canton. It was waiting the turn of events in the anchorage at Lintin, or it might be, for anything Lin knew to the contrary, waiting the mon soon to return to India, or go elsewhere. But even if it had been justly forfeited, the way to seize contraband goods is to go and take them, not to seize the consignees, and force a surrender by keeping them without food and water, and threatening them with death. If the goods were ever so justly seizable, this mode of effecting the seizule could not be submitted to by any country which thought fit to protect its trade from violence or its flag from insult. Even if the representative of our country and some British subjects utterly unconcerned in the opium trade, had not been included in the outrage, it would have been impossible for any Government which had the charge of British honour and interests, to do anything else than demand reparation and restitution in such a case as this. What, then, was the course taken by Captain Elliot ? Seeing that the property must be surrendered, and also that his government must be involved in measures (hosti lities, i f necessary) for obtaining redress, lie put the matter into the best shape he could, not only for saving ttic parties immediately in danger, but for giving his Government the clearest and most ,authentic ground for a demand of redress or a declaration of war. To use his own words (ante, p. 128), the requisition which he made on British subjects fit the surrender to him of 13ritish•owned opium, " was funded tan the principle that these •iolent compulsory measures being utterly unjust per .se, and of general appli cation for the forced surrender of any other property or of human life, or for the constraint of any unsuitable terms or concessions, it became highly necessary to vest and leave the right of exacting effectual security, and full in demnity fcr every loss, directly in the Queen." There is one other point concerning the management of this affair and of all Captain Elliot's negotiations, which we cannot consider as of secondary importance : aid that is the scrupulous truthfulness and good faith which went through all, whether be was at large or in durance; the effect being in the end that his word was taken by this sitTicious people as a sufficient attestation of every matter of fact, unless when it served their purposes to pretend to disbelieve it. British honour was never better vindicated than by this conquest over Chinese suspiciousness. We have now nearly performed our task ; for if Captain Elliot was right in the decision which he adopted on the niain emergency (taken with readiness and clearness, and probably in a moment when infinite confusion prevailed around him), our readers will hot suppose that there will lie much difficulty in vindicatTug his subsequent proceed ings: indeed we have heard little that i' worth notice alleged against them. As to the affair at Kowloon, when be came into collision with the three war-junks, in an attempt to obtain supplies fur the fleet, lie insists that lie was wrong, and it may be that the sea-captain got the better of the politician in that instance. But, at all events, the sea-ceptain's part was gallantly performed; and if the affair was an error, it was a fortunate one, since the fleet was well supplied from that ' moment, and the waters were not poisoned any more. The blockade has been objected to by some persons, who seem to think that Captain Elliot made too much of an effort for the rescue of sixteen British sailors. We have touched upon this point as it occurred in the narrative, (p. 154, ante), and we need scarcely recur to it. In his notice of blockade, he put forward the ancillary grounds as well as the principal, and when the principal ground no longer existed (the sixteen lost men having cast up), he had to withdraw the blockade, though the ancillary motives fur it were still in force. And thus as the principal ground as only one, and the ancillary were several, and people generally reckon Ly number and not by weight, he came to be accused of having adopted hastily a measure which he could not abide by. Lastly, Captain Elliot, when the despatches first arrived, was reproached with a weak and impolitic humanity in stopping at the destruction of four or five war-junks, when he might have destroyed the whole Chinese fleet. It ap peared afterwards that it was not he, but Captain Smith, who was responsible for this act of humanity ; and that the orders which Captain Smith bad brought with him, were to act purely on the defensive. He had done enough to defend himself, and he forebore accordingly. But orders apart, we bevy no doubt that Captain Smith and Captain Elliot too, would have taken the course which was taken, not only from the dictates of their feelings, but also with the thorough approval of their judgment. When they were in danger of being surrounded, they were to take care of themselves end the shipping; when they were too closely menaced, they were to strike a blow by way of warning off their as sailants. But it was not for them to go to war with China. That was, as Captain Elliot has observed in ena of his despatr.thes, " the high attribute of her Majesty. What they had to do was to temporize and manage matters as they could, till instructions and an armament should arrive. That armament, commanded by an officer of high repu tation in the service, will shortly be with them, and h we know not that the country car, desire more, than t at the proceedings taken after its arrival should be marked, a s we proc y will Iss with the same sagacity, in trepidity,ie 1 bancidiepvreudt-cewihich'' have hitherto characterized the conduct of affairs Tho Marquis of Granby and Lord John Manners left the Burlingt on Hotel yesterday morning for Belvoir Castl e w here the Duke of Rutland will dispense his . hespitality to ; select circle duri n g the Croxton-park .

No one will deny that the consumption of opium by the Chinese, as an article of vicious luxury, is an evil greatly to he deplored. It is a species of self-indulgence which, though not perhaps, like drunkenness, leading to acts of violence, is yet more dangerous to the moral nature, be cause more than any other it enervates the will and paraly ses the active affections. In its excess it brings on, more over, the most wretched of all physical sufferin g s from ner vous derangement. It is therefore a vice of the deepest dig, for which a fearful responsibility rests somewhere. The question is. upon whom can this responsibility be rightfully visited? Amongst the first in order of time of the parties who have been concerned are the Indian Government, who -lerived a revenue from the trade in opium, and the Com mittee of the House of Commons, who have advised that that the system through which that revenue was obtained should not be interfered with. Arc these parties, then, responsible? To say that they are, implies, Ist. That they had the right and the power to prevent the production of . the drug w ithin the British territory and its exportation to China ; and 2d, That the exercise of this power and right would have checked the Chinese consumption. On the first point .—we know not what estimate is to be formed of the rights appertaining to our Indian despotism, or what limits are to be placed to its powers ; but the measure of constraining the needy inhabitants of Bengal to abandon a particular cultivation, because the produce of it was absolutely con sumed in one of the countries to which it was exported, would certainly have seemed to our subjects in those parts a strange and unaccountable act of oppression; nor could it. have been justified in the sight of a more enlightened people, unless it could be shown that there were the means of measuring the extent of production required fo' salutary purposes, and allowing that extent, whilst we disallowed an extent beyond that. But even if any such measured limi tation could have been effected, it would have remained t o show, 2dly, That the production of opium in Malwa and other foreign territories (which already supply more than half the Chinese imports) would not have increased I exactly in proportion to the decrease of British production, and whether, therefore, the evil of Chinese consumption I would have been in any degree mitigated by our measures. We are disposed to think that those who impugn the Indian Government and the Parliamentary Committee will find it difficult to dispose of these questions. And as to the establishment of a monopoly of the drug, and the levy of a revenue from it, this is a strange ground on which to bring a charge of encouraging the production, since the only effect would necessarily be to check. both the pro duction and consumption by raising the price. There would be no impropriety, but, on the contrary, a direct expediency, in placing upon this species of produce the heaviest imposts which could be levied without of too much encouragement to foreign or to contraband pro duction. We do not know enough of the subject to state peremptorily that the Indian Government had no means of checking, more than they did, and with some salutary effect, the production of opium in the Chinese market, and we would not say one word to acquit the Indian or any other Government or party of any responsibility with which they could be justly visitca on such a subject as this. All that we mean is, that the case is yet to be made out against the Indian Government and the Parliamentary Committee, and that we have not seen any statement which has touched teem hitherto. Passing from these parties, then, shall we fix the re sponsibility upon the trader who took the article to Cuina? The case of the trader has one aspect previously to 1837, and another subsequently. It is admitted (as we have seen) on all sides, even in reports addressed to the Empe. ror by his Ministers, that down to 1837 the edicts against the importation of opium were not carried into effect, and it is stated by Captain Elliot, and was notorious and indis putable, that fees upon its importation, strictly regulated as to amount, and as to mode and period of payment, were levied by the Viceroy and other local functionaries at Canton. A. 8., an honest British merchant trading at that port in 1836, finds that under these circumstances opium has come to he the principal commodity in which tea is paid for. He finds that the only prohibition of this commo dity is contained in certain defunct edicts issued by a Go vernmcnt which scorns to have any international relations with his country, and which, refusing all intercourse with him, or any agent of his country accredited on his behalf, devolves on a co-partnership of native merchants the whole responsibility for anything he may do. Who shall blame A. B. if, thus situated, he says that, so far as his duty to the Chinese Government is concerned, he feels himself absolved from an obedience which is required from no one else, and from a responsibility which is by the very Government itself specifically shifted from him and pl iced upon the merchants who are made to give security fur him. With them he can communicate, and with their conditions he must comply ; but beyond this he can have incurred no obligations to a Government which obstinately refuses to take any cognizance of him. The policy and practice of the Government is, if he violates the law, to punish not him, but the Hong merchant who gave security for him ; thus making the excess of despotic power over the native supply every defect of power over the foreigner, and of amicable intercourse with his nation. He must so Act, therefore, thrt the Hong merchant shall not be afraid to be his surety : and there his obligations cud—so far as the Chinese authorities are concerned, But there are higher obligations, it will be said, than any which are due to thrones and dominations ; awl how does he justify to himself his traffic in this fatal drug, knowing, as he does, that it is eating into the souls of rni;lions of his fellow creatures? The answer is, that he justifies it to himself by an imperfect justification — by the rules of average morality by which mar.kind at large are governed, and not by the highest stan dard of Christianity. He considers that, as the eon surrers are resolved to buy the article, and men will al nays be found to sell it to them, the effect of a scrupu lous man not selling it will only be that the unscrupulous will sell more. He considers, moreover, that in the com plications of trade there are a hundred transactions which promote one branch of it through another ; that, when one article constitutes the main body of trading returns, the merchant who rsfuscs to deal in it directly will never theless be the cause of others dealing in it ; that, if he in sists upon giving dollars for tea when opum is the:article in f1:1 - nand, his dollars will go to buy from his neighbours the opium which he would not bring himself, and with hardly any addition of cost or inconvenience the same mercantile exchange v, ill be effected. Ile persuades himself, there fore, that it is in vain for him individually to contend against the course of trade. In 1837-8-9, however, A. B. is not quite in the same situation as in 1836. The plan of legalizing the opium trade having been at last definitively rejected by the Court of Peking, a succession of efforts is made by that Court to suppress it. If these efforts are likely to be attended with success, and to eradicate a most pernicious vice from a teeming population, it is nothing to A. B. whether the Emperor's object is to prevent opium coming into his do. minions, or to prevent the Sycec silver leaving them ; and indeed he is bound to give credit to human nature, even at the Court of a Chinese Emperor, for having some view to moral ends, in adopting a policy which, if successful, must necessarily promote them. So soon, therefore, and so far, as these efforts of the Chinese Court are really operative, he is bound as a virtuous man to go along with them, and give them their fair chance of success. He may probably foresee, in a speculative way, that in all probability the Emperor's measures will fail ; he may be pretty well satis fied that, in a country where all the officers of Govern. ment, high and low, are venal, and no moral forces can be brought to bear, a vice cannot be put down by a law, nor the means of satisfying an appetite excluded by an ;nter diet ; he may perceive that opium, if banished from Can ton, can and will be run in a thousand bays and creeks along the coasts : but still the Government is doing its endeavour in a good cause, and it is his duty to co.operate with it. He may henceforth have the means of carrying on his lawful trade unpolluted. At all events, having new the assistance of the Chinese officers, he must make the trial.—Such are the views which we should imagine that a casuist might fairly take in the case supposed. Now the facts are, that a very considerable portion of the British merchants at Canton had been implicated in the ODIUM trade before 1836, and that the mercantile com munity at large were then in the way of being driven into it by the force of circumstances. They were not faultless in this; but, in the circumstances in which they were placed, it would have required a higher standard of virtue and clearer moral perceptions than can be expected from moat men to keep them so. Captain Elliott at that period remonstrated in vain. :But at the end of 1837, when the circumstances were changed, a large majority of the o mer chants, seeing the opportu nit y of extr ica ti on , gave Y Cap tain Elliot their support , honourabl and faithfully, an Can he uld tell was enabled to clear out the traffilfero.munthe ton. It sterns at that period to hay f _ o n r n g o a o l n o e of f o ot._ some time, as if in expectat ion of events : ll ld be carri e d through, whether the Chinese measures w dur s in t g o hw ti a r h e voes i eb nt e e e r ne v ov a cne l ho , riiet t ifl h ely e g or abandoned, or reversed; little that was done in the trade sbeemmself, and, in the hands of the_ him no the highest monopoly profits. others gave un no d prof i ts. B ut t h e traffic . was, generally speaking, stagnant, p ? y that the Then came Commissioner Lin ? and,. finding opium was all stored up in receiving ships and hanging off up all in the outer anch ora g es, he cleared doubts as to the purpose of executing the opressivepoiteno. at the same a time effected the confiscation of the stores. The issue was then made manife st ; Ca p tain Elliot' s prophec i es were fulfilled ; and, instead of repression through_ legislati on and moderate contr ol, the trade fellinto the hands of the lawless, the daring, the irrepressible and uncontrollable men who had neither character nor lawful trading int erests to lose; and in their hand s it throve abundantly along the coasts and triumphed over every obstacle that Lin could create. But the British merchants of Canton (for mer l y o f Canton, now of Macao, Hong Kong, Tong Koo, or where ever else they could take refuge) had no part in the trade as thus carried on, and the ir res p onsibility ceased, there fore, with the period of 1836-7. What that resp ons ibili ty amounted to we have endeavoured to estimate. Ilse fourth party whose responsibility is in question is the English Government. If the Committee of the House of Commons is to be acquitted on the principle which we have stated in reference to them, a fortiori is the Govern ment to be absolved; for, oven if the Committee were assumed to be in error, the Government could hardly ex pect to carry a measure of interference with a great trading interest in defiance of an opinion reported by the Com mittee of the House of Commons.. But the Gov ernment did not go a step beyond the principle of non-interfer ence; it refused encouragement, and L ord Palmerst on instructed Captain Elliot to warn the merch ants that, if they should Wales."

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, IN THE MATTER OF THOMAS DE GRENIER DE FONBLANQUE. On Monday the insolvent, described as having been ga zetted as her Majesty's Consul for Philadelphia, was op posed on the part of Mr. John Hovill, a merchant, and Mr. T. D. Taylor, an attorney. Ho was supported by Mr. Woodroffe. The complaint, on the part of the two opposing creditors, was that their debts had been incurred without a reasonable or probable expectation of payment. Mr. Fonblanque was discharged, under the Act, in April, 1837. when his debts, in the aggregate, were somewhere about 10,000/., and he gave up his claim on the Government 0 f 14,0001., under a Parliamentary grant. He bad a pension which he was now in the receipt ot, 2301. a-year, as a retired Consul in Prussia. The debts for which he bad obtained considera tion, set forth in the present schedule, were about 2,1001., including law expenses. It appeared in the course of the examination that the salary and pension of the insolvent would amount to 8001. a-year. Taylor, the attorney, and opposing creditor, stated that he had discounted the insolvent's acceptances (at the rate of 150 per cent.) amounting nominally to 130/ , relying on the assertion that Mr. Fonblanque was not in debt, and that he had claims on the Government. Taylor was asked whether he thought a man could be out of debt who borrowed at 1501 per cent. At the conclusion of the case, Mr. Commissioner Bowan said there was no fraudulent representation in this case, ana, indeed, a complaint of that nature could not be made without the creditor. Mr. Hovill had not appeared, and the insolvent had positively stated that he was not aware of the new regulation until after be had burrowed the money. On that ground he would be discharged, and the Court would recommend that 4001. a-year out of the pension be set aside for the creditors. The insolvent was discharged. • WATERMEN AND LIGHTERMEN OF THE RIVER THAMES.—Mr. Brown, of the firm of Brown and Young, granary keepers, has effected a policy of assurance on his life for the sum of 1,00/., which he has presented to the Watermen's Company on behalf of the endowment fund of this valuable institution. A few months since he gave two acres of freehold ground, land tax redeemed, as a site for the alms houses, and a donation of two hundred guineas towards the building fund. It is intended, in the first instance, to build thirty alms houses on the land presented by Mr. Brown, at an expense of 10,0001. ; of this sum 7,350/. has been already sub scribed by the merchants, bankers, shipowners, wharfingers, and others connected with the trade and port of London, in cluding a donation of 5001. from the Master, Wardens, and Commonality of Watermen and Lightermen, and a similar do nation of 500/. ft om the Corporation of London on behalf of the endowment fund, which is to be paid when the building is finished. (From the Morning Pay.) • It may be proper to notice a most discreditable vein of chicanery which runs through the whole of the documents presented to Pilliament, that are of the manufacture of British functionaries, whether in Asia or Europe. We allude to the studa:us separation of British subjects end British interests in China into two classes, the class of opium smugglers, and the class I.f British subjects engaged in the lawful and permitted commerce with that country ; and we mention it because the habitual and conventiona4 falsehood which excited, and was calculated to excite, in China, no other feeling than contempt, may pro duce up on some portions of society in Great Br tain an impression utterly incompatible with soy just estimate of the transactions in which the public function aries of our country have been, and arc about still more deeply to be, embarked. It is evident that this assumed distinction had no foundation in fact, and that from the moment when the Chimeie Government showed itself to be really in earnest in the enforcement of its law sgsirst the importation of opium, all reference in argument to feel' ru irivrg;iirtry diAinetion became merely ridiculous, and all measures of resistance to the Chinese regulations, which assurecd its r ea l ex i stence as a necessary part o f t h e i r justification, became merely wa n t on an d un j us t. (From the liforning Advertuer.) Captivated by the melodious applause which bar ReCCM ' parried the late achievement of Lord Stanley, Sir James Graham has dunned his armour, and sounded the trumpet of defiance in the cars of the Mmistry. It is natural that these brothers in apostasy should become brothers in arms, rind that they should unit , : together in assailing the enure front which they simultaneously deserted. That men of kindle feeling and generous dispositions will view such union with aversion and disgust, is a matter of little C0112e••• qutete, si • ' lon , as it meets the approbation of those who s,ck the power of rewarding it wish office, and gffords an opportunity of indulging party animosity and personal spite. (From the Morning Chronicle.) We are told that the embarrassments which have ar:sssit in our intercourse with the Chinese have been occasioned entirely by the " wrongheaded conduct of the Whigs" in sending out " men-of-war," such as Lord Napier and Captain Eltiat, and in giving haughty and irritating in structions to those " bellicose Commissioners." Sir James Graham, who, as a Member of the " wrongheaded Whig I Administration," wiiich sent out the " bellicose Commis- t sinners," is responsible for that measure, and for the in structions denounced as " haugbty aid irritating." will find himself in a position of some embarrasamest if any his Tory allies follow the example of their leading organ, } and interpret the Right Honourable Baronet's MO" as a " vote of censure on himself for his acts in the day's when he was a Whig." (From the Morning Herald.) The war into Which this country hes been pliii)ged by a reckless Government, on behalf of the opium smugglers of India, is a war so unjust in its principle--so immoral it. its motive—so detestably br.se and sordid in itscrigin, east, and character, that let its military results he what they may, it can bring nothing but disgrace and ignominy to England. Ilud this war of the foulest aggression ever comititted by a nation calling itself civilized upon another supposed- to be far inferior to it in all the resources of martial eon,- filet, been the work of a Tory Administration, the Whigs would, before this time, have stirred up the whole people of England to oppose and denounce it—they would have organized public meetirgs everywhere—they would have expressed their reprobation of its injustice in strains of indignant eloquence—they Would have stigmatized it as one of the grossest and most barbarous violations of the law of nations arid the principles of public morality that had disgraced Europe since the " dark ages," and the Whigs would have heen right. • (From the Times.) The affair of Ohina is terrible enough. It is the case of a lawless and accursed traffic, to be bolstered up by a flagitious and murderous war. Nor is there the shadow of rat argument, or even of a pretext, in defence of the Government, which has involved us in these calamities. Ignorance, arrogance, and ruinous want of principle have swayed all their proceedings since the hour when they de posed the East India Company from its eminence, and took upon themselves the administration of those duties and powers which they had compelled it to abandon. The remoteness of the great centre of our Chinese e.;tnrflerce from the seat of empire here would have made it in the estimation of a wise or conscientious Minister an object of tenfold solicitude and attention. In the e!es of Lord Palmerston the distance of the scene was held to be a sufficient apology for dismissing it altogether from his thoughts. THEATRES. PETITION OF JAMES HOWELL, LECTURER f ON ASTRONOMY. The Petition of James Howell, of 145, Fleet-street, in the City of London, Humbly showeth, That your petitioner has for several years past enjoyed the privilege of lecturing upon the science of Astronomy, at various theatres in London, during the season of Leta and Passion Week, Good Friday oncepted. That your petitioner, some months since, entered into I an agreement with the proprietors of her Alajesty'o Theatre to deliver, as usual, Astronomical Lectures therein I during the season abore- mentioned. That your petitioner has learned with deep regret that the Lord Coamberlain has issued a mandate, that ell theatres shall be closed during the week termed Passion Week, including under the same Glass scientific as well at dramatic entertainments.. That your petitioner cannot perceive any conneiicess between the two species of entertainments alluded to; arAl moreover would observe, that it has been an invariable custom to prevent the performance of the Drama, w hile science hes been allowed to take its stand, as your pas titioner unquestionably deems it ought, without any inter ruption, molestation, or hinderance. Tnat your petitioner deeply deplores the Lord Cham berlain's restricti9n, as the juvenile population particularly will he deprived of the best opportunity that could be pre sented, to implant in their minds tile general principles of • the useful, the important science of Astronomy,—a cessa. tion from their scholastic duties then permitting it; and your petitioner also feeling persuaded that more can be learned from a well-planned Lecture in a siegle hour, than from a close application to other sources of information. That your petitioner also deeply deplores this change, as it will prove to him a serious loss, Passion Week being the week alone by which the Lecturer can receive even a small remuneration for the risk and the anxiety which nr cesQarily attend all public exhibitions. Your petition therefote humbly and respectfully prays, That your Honourable House will be pleased to. address the Crown to afford him a continuation of the privilege laic!) he now so earnestly solicits. l Ant; your petitioner, as in duty bound, will ever pray, JAMES HOWELL.

MlRAcuLous ESCAPE.—An overman at Hart ley colliery, Northumberland, having lately ascended a ladder to oil the wheels, immediately over the pit's mouth, unfortunately lost his hold and fell into the shaft beneath. Several persons who witnessed the accident uttered a shriek of horror when they saw him fall, ani a sheet was sent for to a neighbouring house to be used in bringing up his scattered remains. Ere it arrived, however, a voice was heard from below, crying 4 , set away" (in other words, draw up), a n d in a few seconds the precipitated overman was again "at bank." In his rapid de= scent he, by great presence of mind and strength of arm, or, we should rather say, Divine interposition, caught hold of the rope at a depth of some fathoms, and when he reached terra firma it was sound that the only injuries he had amountet), to a loss of skin from his hands and knees, in sliding down the rope, before he was able to effectually secure himself upon it._Drirham Advertiser.
