CHINA.
The dispute with the Chinese has been temporarily settled,
under an expectation that two Men would be delivered up in
the following season. On reference to our shipping intelli-
gence, it wilb be •observed that five ships have arrived fully
laden, as the trade was opened on.the 20th of October, 'and all
the other ships were to follow ; but not in the order of their ar-
rival out at China, as formerly ; they were to sail according to
the period the ships came Upon demurrage.
Letters have been received from China, and the following
are extracts :
H. C. S. in Scaleb Castle, Canton, Nov. 20, 1883.
r
You have, of course,' lad a variety of accounts of. the fire
here, It must have been a tremendous spectacle, but every
thing. is now as I ever recollect it. In rebuilding the place
'there are but few instances where each man has not erected his
house or shop on.the very site.of the one burnt down and built
too exactly after tile same fashion l • in one or two, I have seen
articles of furniture, as a clock, &c. in exactly the same situa-
tion and order as before; so little prone are the Chinese to
change. • In fact, they discourage improvement by every possi-
ble means. If a man were to project a house, or build a boat,
at all deviating from the fashion of his ancestors, (for-I am con-
vinced a Chinese junk is an exact epitome of the ark) he would
be most likely put to death ; at any rate a fine would be laid
on him to the amount of his whole substance.
Extract of a letter front Canton, by the Hon.- Company's ship
Bombay, dated Novemiter 20.
" We have again had a discussion with the Chinese on the
subject of the Lintin affair. On the arrival of the direct ships
in August last the Ulceroy demanded of us if " two men" had
been sent out from the King of England to bei,Tiven up for exe-
cution, to atone.for the two Chinese who had been killed in the
affray at Linton, .by the Topaze frigate ! This occasioned a
renewed discussion, and as the Canton . Government indicated
symptoms of going to some extremities, we made a resolute
.stand, and detained the ships without the river in. a very fine
and spacious bay in the vicinity of the islands of Lintin and
Lantato, but where our ships had never before laid. (This bay
has, in compliment to James B. Urmston, Esq. Chief of the
British Factory in China, been named by. the Commanders,'
6Uimston Bay,'• and will be so laid down, in all future charts
of that anchorage.) After a month's contest with the chinese
authorities, 'finding we were determined, they gave up the
point, and we came up from Macao followed by the ships, and
are now going on as usual. We have thus gained another vic-
tory over our old antagonists the Viceroy, and have the satisfac-
tion of knowing that the character and honour of the British
nation and the British flag have been again upheld by the
steadiness and firmness of the East I ndia.Company's represen-
tatives in China."
