Mr. Gearing Joms's testimony is to the
MAN - afflict lie illustrates in detail by a
number of striking proofs the inefficiency
of the Government, and the bad feeling
of the Imperialists towards ourselves. " Why,"
he naturally asks, " should we feel the
" slightest sympathy with, or render the smallest
" aid to, the Imperialists I We have nothing to
" hope, but everything to fear, from them. They
" are not friendly to us ; and, from what now ap-

"pears, never will be. They would drive usinto
" the sea to-morrow had they the ability. Their
" conduct towards the foreign residents at the
" ports of Hankow and Kiu-kiang prove this."
Not only is there no motivefor assisting the Im-
perialists, but the attempt must, however succem-
ftil for the moment, at a particular spot, in the
end prove an utter failure. Speaking of the re-
newed attempts of the Imperialists against
Nankin, he says :

That the Imperialists, single•banded, will be able to
take Nankin, is out of the question. That the chief may
think it fit to leave from tear of a visit from the English
and French is possible enough. It is quite credible that
this noble city may, within three months, cease to be the
capital of the Celestial dynasty. What then! Will the
rebels scatter, and Taepingdom come to nought? This
is not likely. Their safety and prosperity depend upon
their adopting a measure that shall put them at a safe dis-
tanee from our shot and shell, and where they will be able
to prosecute their aggressive policy without fear of foreign
interference. The probable remit of such a retirement
would be the extension of their operations into the pro.
village of Kiangsi, Fuhkien, and Caton.

These are the views of men who have long re-
sided in China, and are practically acquainted with
the conflicting social and political forces that dis-
tract the empire. The character and position of
such witnesses is a sufficient guarantee not only
of full knowledge, but of their thorough impar-
tiality and disinterestedness. Both agree that a
policy of strict neutrality and non-intervention is
the true course for this country to pursue. In
this the great majority of their countrymen at
home would be disposed also to coincide.
