NEWSTEAD PRIORY.—Near the site of this once-
famous place ther have been discovered the portions of a
statue of a warrior of the time of Henry 111., in chain mail
of the period ; an ancient freestone floor, probably of an
ambulatory ; a great quantity of window tracery of the
14th, and some jamb-shafts of the 13th, centuries.
A correspondent writing from Canes (Camila)
expresses himself as follows :—" The Governor has
returned from his tour of inspection throughout the
island. Tranquillity appears to be well maintained
everywhere. The Spakiotes, hitherto the most
unruly, have now become the most order
able to with-
ly of the
population, and the pasha has been
draw all the troops sent against them. Our com-
merce is suffering much from want of adequate steam

communication."

SHALL WE CONQUER CHINA ?

(Fro,.. an article by Mr•. Meredith Townsend in the Victoria
Magazine )
The conquest of China may be easy, but to make it of
practical value the country must also be held, and held
perhaps for centuries, a task which would strain English
resources to the uttermost. We are accustomed to believe
that the Anglo-Saxon possesses in some peculiar degree the
old Roman governing power, but the boast has little foun-
dation, "Spawning force," as Emerson called it, we eo in-
deed possess, but England lost the finest colonies any coun-
try ever secured through sheer mismanagement. She has
only kept her remaining Anglo-Saxon colonies by giving
them anamount of liberty which insures them independence
whenever they choose to ask it; her French subjects in Ca-
nada have tried one great rebellion ; India, after a century
of her rule, sprang with hearty pleasure at her throat, and
still demands a huge foreign garrison ; and Ireland is quit-
ting the empire rather than remain under the cold shadow
of the dominant race. Rome had no revolts to quell save in
Judea, and the probability is that the British are rather a
settling than a ruling race. However that may be, the fact
is certain that it cannot rule the Chinese. The experiment
has been tried, and the Chinaman calmly and successfully
placed himself outside British law. In the little Chinese
colony of Calcutta, which is completely under British do-
minions, pays all taxes, and is externally undistinguished
from other classes, the only real authority is Chinese. A
secret society governs the body, and though for half a cen-
tury it has notoriously inflicted death for breach of its
rules, it has never once been brought within the grasp of
the criminal law. In Singapore, inhabited by 60,000 pro-
sperous Chinamen, the Hoeys or Associations are by offi-
cial admission quite beyond the law, defy the police, and
govern their countrymen by a system of combined intrigue
and terrorism with which no law applied by Englishmen
has strength or promptitude to cope. In Australia it has
been found necessary to resort to the brutal device of ex-
cluding the most industrious of colonists just as we were
demanding by arms entrance into those colonists' native
land, and Hong Kong is the asylum of all the worst vil-
lains of the Chinese seaboard. The people of India asks as
a principle to be let alone, the Chinese asks that their in-
ternal social arrangements shall be enforced from above,
and Englishmen failing to enforce them, they would in
twelve months honeycomb China with irresistible political
• secret societies. _ _

METROPOLITAN WATERS IN DECEMBER 1863.

The organic impurity of the London waters, ac-
cording to the analyses of Dr. Robert Thomson,
F.R.S., is still high, although somewhat less than it
was in the preceding month. The greatest mount
was found in the Southwark water, which was
somewhat turbid, and yielded a deposit or standing
—a proof of its imperfect filtration. The Kent water
contained no surface impurity, and no organic matter
in an unoxidised state. The Dulwich well was most
impure, and mixed with so much sewage products
as to be most unwholesome.

The table is read thus—Loch Katrine water contains in the
gallon 2'3 . degrees or grains of foreign matter in solution,
of which •605 degrees or grains are of vegetable or animal
origin.

At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean
height of the barometer in the week was 29 946 in.
The barometrical reading was 29.55 in. on Thurs-
day, and increased to 30.42 in. by the end of the
week. The mean temperature of the air in the
week was 33.1 deg., which is 0.3 deg. above the
average of the same week in 43 years (as determined
by Mr. Glaisher). The highest day temperature
was 62.0 deg. o❑ Tuesday. The lowest night tem-
perature was 23 2 deg. on Saturday. The entire
range of temperature in the week was therefore 26 8
deg. The mean temperature of the water of the
Thames was 42.7 deg. The difference between the
mean dew-point temperature and air temperature
was 6.6 deg. The mean degree of humidity of the
air was 77, complete saturation being represented
by 100. The direction of the wind was variable.

occasion more than one or two week's delay in the opening
of the line. Next summer their hotel would be completed,
and he believed that the passenger traffic would be com-
mensurate with the accommodation provided on the rail-
way. It was his opinion that when that traffic was fairly
developed it might be enlarged to any extent. The best
assurance which he could give that the directors were not
alarmed at any additional cost which might have to be in-
curred was that they had doubled the amount of their shares.
Their prospects of remuneration had increased in a propor-
tion far exceeding that of any little extra outlay.
Mr I. FLETCHER, deputy chairman, seconded the motion,
which was unanimously carried.
After the re-election of three directors and an auditor,
the proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to the
chairman and directors.

BRISTOL AND SOUTH WALES UNION.
The half yearly meeting was held on Wednesday at
Bristol—Mr C. J. Thomas in the chair.
Mr L. BRITON, the secretary, read the report, which
stated that on the Bth of this month the line would be out
of the hands of the contractor, and that the Great Western
Company would maintain the permanent way until Dec.
31 next at cost price, and thereafter at their own expense,
as provided by a special agreement.
The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report,
said that the number of passengers had increased from an
average of 4,100 per week in 1863 to 5,800 per week during
the past half year. The goods traffic had not increased so
much as they had expected, but they looked for increased
receipts in future. The debt due to the bankers had been
reduced by £3,200, and the hotel company would in the
course of a month pay them £2,300. This, with other
items, would enable the directors further to reduce the debt.
Mr T. W. RANKIN seconded the resolution.
A discussion ensued, in which several proprietors depre-
cated the agreement with the Great Western Company.
The CHAIR3IAN stated that no other company would
have given ttem such advantages as they had from the
Great Western.

The report was adopted.
The meeting was then made special, and the forfeiture of
certain shares for non-payment of calls was confirmed.

MERTHYR, TREDEGAR, AND ABERGAVENNY.
The halt-yearly meeting was held at the offices, Aber-
gavenny, on WeJnesday,—Mr. C. Bailey, M,P., in the
chair.

The report stated that the requirements of Capt. Tyler
had been carried out as regarded the second section of the
line, and the railway was completed and opened to Tredegar.
The London and North-Western Company had paid the
half-yearly rent, and they continued to work the line in a
satisfactory manner. In order to pay off certain liabilities
it was proposed to make a call on the shares not paid up.
The capital account showed that£241,620 had been received
and £257,296 expended, leaving a balance against the com-
pany of £15,676.
The report was unanimously adopted, and a dividend at
the rate of 5 per cent per annum, less income-tax, was de-
clared for the halt-year.
The proceedings concluded with a vote of thanks to the
chairman.

GREENOCK.—A BOAT RUN DOWN AND MAN
DROWNED.—Oa Tuesday evening, about half-past
8 o'clock, as the Belfast mail steamer Lynx was proceeding
down the river, when off the Battery Point, Greenock, she
ran down a small rowing boat, one of the occupants of wh;ch,
Daniel M‘Donald, joiner awl blockmakor, Greenock, was
drowned. The deceased had been out fishing at the bank,
along with his son, a young lad 11 years of age, and Mr
Fleming, of Lawrie and Fleming, carvers and gilders,
Greenock, and they were pulling home. As they were
crossing the channel they observed the mail steamer coming
down with her lights up, but thinking she was further off
than she in reality was, it being then dark and wet, it was
thought they could easily pass her. The steamer, however,
struck the small boat amidships and cut her in two. Mr
Fleming and the boy were picked up by a boat lowered
from the steamer, but 14I'Donald sank almost immediately
after the collision, His body was found at G•aurock on

CRICKE T,

ONE ARM V. ONE LEG.—The weather proved very fine
yesterday, and this burlesque match upon genuine cricket
attracted a very large number of spectators, upwards of
three thousand persons, including a number of the fair sex,
being present, a complete ring on the large ground at lien-
nington•oval being formed. Soon after 12 o'clock the One-
Leg side entered on their second innings, being in a mino-
rity of 17 of their opponents. The innings finished for 136,
leaving the One-Arm 120 to get to win. Time, however,
did not permit the game to b 3 played out, and the match
was left drawn, the One-Arm scoring 112, with one wicket
to fall. The amusement excited during the play was con.
siderable. Imagine a one-leg man attempting to Catch or
run after a ball; he breaks his leg (a wooden one), and the
whole of the spectators are convulsed with laughtix, which
is increased when one of his opponents picks htm up and
carries him on his back to the retiring room. The veteran s
themselves seemed to enjoy the fun as well as the spectators,
for when attempting to make a run they would throw
themselves down, and endeavour with the bat to reach
over the popping crease, which convulsed the assemblage
with laughter. In the course of the afternoon the children
of the Licensed Victuallers' School again attended with
their band, Governor Ilarris, of the Incorporated Society,
looking after thew as a guardian. Too much praise cannot
be awarded to Mr F. Hill, host of the Surrey Tavern, who
provided tea, cake, bread and butter, and fruit for the chil-
dren (numbering 140) on both days.

MID-WALES.

This line has been opened, for both passenger and goods
traffic, throughout its entire length from Talyllyn to Llanid-
loes, a distance of about 52 miles. It has running powers
over the Brecon and Merthyr to Brecon, and the line forms
a junction with the Hereford, Hay, and Brecon at the
Three Cocks. The cost of construction has been a little
over £SOO,OOO. The contractors are Messrs Watson and
Overend, and the engineers Messrs. B. and P. Piercy. The
gradients are easy, and the line will form part of a direct
communication between North and South Wales.

men, that the spirit of the age was the very thing
that a great man changed. Mr, ROEBUCK se ems to
take a lofty view of the position of a member of
the House of Commons, and we are indebted to
those gifted with his powers of oratory -for using
their facility of expression, and employing their
foresight, experience, and description to p•at forward
plain truths in a striking fashion, and to reveal the
high purposes of every-day existence and the
great ends which should be worked out
amid the heat and the turmoil of public
life and political careers. It is refreshing
now•a•days to find public speakers discoursing on
such things, for it is too much the fashion amid the
hurry-scurry of existence to look around and not
before, rot to raLct upon the consequences of
things, but merely to study the expediency doctrine
of putting off the evil day, and only providing for
the exigencies of the moment. Such a course of
proceedings has done more than anything to de•
teriorate the character, injure the influence, and
stultify the efforts of the Legislature, than any
think else of late years. The Parliament of England
has not always had much time to encounter, " It
has been cradled in adventure and nursed in good
men's dread." It has to defy the engroachments of
the Crown and to resist the tyranny of the nobles.
It was hard to contend occasionally with the infatu.
ated desires of the people it represented, but still it
had triumphed over all; it has shared in adversity,
but prosperity is sometimes the most dangerous of
the two. It behoves the real leaders of the house,
the men of thought, genius, and energy, to warn
the indifferent and rouse the indolent, so that it
may not lose the lustre of its fame and be shorn of
its hard earned reputation that have come down
from sires of renown, and should not be thrown
away by degenerate sons.
