THE TREATY BETWEEN CHINA AND

The President sent to the Senate, on the 14th
-July, a treaty between the United States and his
Majesty the Emperor of China, signed on the Ist
July by the Plenipotentiaries of the parties. As it
is similar to what the Ambassadors propose to offer
to the European Powers, and as they are expected
in England almost immediately, we give it in full :
ALDITIONAL ARTICLES TO THE TREATY BETWEEN THE
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. AND THE TA-TSING

EMPIRE OF THE 18TH OF JUNE, 1858.
Whereas since the conclusion of the treaty between the
United States of America and the Ta-Tsing empire (China)
of the 18th June, 1858, circumstances have arisen showing
the necessity of additional articles thereto, the President of
the United States and the august sovereign of the Ta-Tsing
Empire having named for their Plenipotentiaries, to wit,
the President of the United States of America, William H.
Seward, Secretary of State, and his Majesty the Emperor
of China, Anson Burlingame, accredited as his Envoy Ex-
traordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary, and Chih-Kang
and Sun Chia-Ku, of the second Chinese rank, associated
High Envoys and Ministers of his said Majesty, and the
said Plenipotentiaries, after having exchanged their full
powers found to be in duo and proper form, have agreed
upon the following articles :
Art. 1. His Majesty the Emperor of China, being of the
opinion that in making concessions to the citizens or sub-
jectsof foreign Powers of the privilege of residing on certain
tracts of land, or resorting to certain waters of that empire
for purposes of trade, he has by no means relinquished his
right of eminent domain or dominion over the said land
and waters, hereby agrees that no such concession or grant
shall be construed to give to any Power or party which
may be at war with, or hostile to, the United States the
right to attack the citizens of the United States or their
property within the said lands or waters ; and the
United States, for themselves, hereby agree to abstain
from offensively attacking the citizens or subjects of any
Power or party or their property with which they may be
at war on any such tract of land or waters of the said
empire; but nothing in this article shall be construed to
prevent the United States from resisting an attack by any
hostile Power or party upon their citizens or their pro-
perty. It is further agreed that if any right or interest in
any tract of land in China has been, or shall hereafter be,
granted by the Government of China to the United States
or their citizens for purposes of trade or commerce, that
grant shall in no event be construed to divest the Chinese
authorities of their right of jurisdiction over persons and
property within said tract of land, except so far as that
right may have been expressly relinquished by treaty.
Art. 2. The United States of America and his Majesty
the Emperor of China, believing that the safety and pro-
sperity of commerce will thereby best be promoted, agree
that any privilege or immunity in respectto trade or navi-
gation within the Chinese-dominions which may not have
been stipulate] for by treaty, shall bo subject to the dis-
eretieirof the Chinese Government and may be regulated
by it accordingly?, but not in a manner or spirit incou:pa
tible with the treaty stipulations of the parties.
Art. 3. The Emperor of China shall have the right to
appaint consuls at parts of the United States, who shall
enjoy the same privileges and immunities as those which
aro enjoyed by public law and treaty in the United States
by the Consuls of Great Britain and Russia, or either of
them.

Art. 4. The tweLty-ninth article of the Treaty of the
18th of June, 1858, having stipulated for the exemption of
Christian citizens of the United States and Chinese con-
verts from persecution in China on account of their faith,
it is further agreed that citizens of the United States in
China of every religious persuasion and Chinese subjects
in the United States shall enjoy entire liberty of con-
science, and shall bo exempt from all disability or persecu-
tion on account of their religious faith or worship in either
country. Cemeteries for sepulture of the dead of whatever
nativity or nationality shall be held in respect and free
from disturbance or profanation.

Art. 5. The United States of America and the Emperor
of China cordially recognize the inherent and inalienable
right of man to change his home and allegiance, and also
the mutual advantage of the free migration and emigra-
tion of their citizens and subjects respectively from the
one country to the other, for purposes of curiosity, trade,
or as permanent residents. The high contracting parties,
therefore, join in reprobating any other than an entirely
voluntary emigration for these purposes. They conse-
quently agree to pass laws making it a penal offence for a
citizen of the Unitod States to take Chinese subjects either
to the United States, or to any other foreign country, or
fora Chinese subject to take citizens of the United States
to China or to any other foreign country without their
free and voluntary consent respectively.
Art. 6. Citizens of the United States visiting or residing
in China shall enjoy the same privileges, immunities, or
exemptions in respect to travel or residence as may there
be enjoyed by the citizens or subjects of the most favoured
nation, and, reciprocally, Chinese subjects visiting or re-
siding in the United States shall enjoy the same privileges,
immunities, and exemptions in respect to travel or resi-
dence as may there bo enjoyed by the citizens or subjects
of the most favoured nation.

Art. 7. The United States and the Emperor of China,
recognizing in the present progress of nations a favourable
tendency towards unity of civilization, and regarding a
unity of money and a unity of weights and of measures as
favourable to that great object, do hereby agree that they
will use their influence and efforts to obtain the establish-
ment, by the general agreement of nations, of representa-
tive coins having a common value, and also a common
standard of weights and measures for all countries.
Art. 8. Tho United States freely agree that Chinese sub-
jects shall without hindrance on account of their nationality
or religion be admitted to all schools, colleges, and other
public educational institutions, without being subject to
any religious or political test; and, on the other hand, his
Majesty the Emperor of China agrees that citizens of the
United States may freely establish and maintain schools
in that empire at those places where foreigners are per-
mitted by treaty to reside.
Art. 9. The United States, always disclaiming and dis-
couraging all practices of unnecessary :dictation and inter-
vention by ono nation in the affairs or domestic adminis-
tration of another, do hereby freely disclaim any intention
or right to intervene in the domestic administration of
China in regard to the construction of railroads, telegraphs,
or other material internal improvements. On the other
hand, his Majesty the Emperor of China reserves to him-
self the right to decide the time, and manner, and cir-
cumstances of introducing such improvements within
his dominions. With this mutual understanding it
is agreed by the contracting parties that if at
any time hereafter his Imperial Majesty shall deter-
mine to construct, or cause to be constructed,
works of the character mentioned within the empire, and
shall make application to the United States or any other
Western Power for facilities to carry out that policy, the
United States will, in that case, designate and authorize
suitable engineers to be employed by the Chinese Go-
vernment, and will recommend to other nations an equal
compliance with such application, the Chinese Govern-
ment in that case protecting such engineers in their per-
sons and property, and paying them a reasonable compen-
sation for their service.

In faith whereof the respective Plenipotentiaries have
signed this Treaty, and hereto affixed the seals of their
arms.

11AS THE 1107' WEAIHER DONE
FOR US?

(From the Anglo-American Times.)
Made us very cross ! but happily so stripped us
of energy that we have not proceeded from " slang-
wanging" to fisticuffs. The leader of the Govern-
ment and the leader of the Opposition feel more
inclined to pull than to rub noses on parting, and so
do many of their followers. The man who is not
on the rampage is John Bright, who perhaps may
be startled to hear the Standard singing his praises.
We thought "he was stirring up in Ireland the
almost extinct spirit of disaffection ;" but instead of
this be is preaching moderation at Birmingham, and
declaring he would be sorry to see the British Con-
stitution Americanized.'" Major Anson is indig-
nant at an after-dinner speech of Sir Bartle Frere,
wherein he awarded to the hero of Magdala more
than his fair share of praise in the taking of the
Takoo Forts. Lord Napier, bothered with the
champagne, which had been fizzing under his nose,
and puzzling his brains with the speech he had to
address to his brethren of the Indian army, took no
heed of the showers of praise falling over him from
the gushing Sir Bartle. In the confusion and the
excitement of bumpers and cheers not only did it
pass uncontradicted, but his lordship commenced
with a singular inaccuracy. He stated that he was
mainly induced to accept the peerage, over which
he had hesitated, as it was intended as au honour
to the Indian service, his being the first case of such
distinction. Did Lord Napier of Magdala ever
hear of Lord Clive? General Jacob patches into
Major Anson for omitting some names from the
scroll of fame of the Bombay army ; but the mili-
tary bickering is a mild and genteel affair to the
heat of the contest over the lately published poem
alleged to be Milton's. The Times in such weather
must really feel indebted to Lord 'Vinchelsea, Mr.
Morley, and their respective followers, for supply-
ing them with columns of " copy" the public are
content to read, which, though not nasty, is
cheap. But the hot weather is most clearly dis-
cernible in Tuesday's letter signed—lVinchel-
sea. Poor Hepworth Dixon, in the innocence
of his heart, wrote what he evidently consi-
dered a mild critique, when in stepped his lord-
ship, exclaiming, " Good God ! what authority
have you, sir, for such a libel ?" Mr. Dixon, startled,
might have imagined himself again at Denver with
the tree close by, on whose boughs swung the vic-
tims of the Vigilance Committee. Quickly must
his hand have sought his revolver, and perhaps the
act brought him back to his seat in the editorial
chair of the Athenicum. " A barefaced blunder,"
says his lordship, " is an argument for the authen-
ticity of the poem, if Mr. Dixon were fit to be a
critic at all ;" " but Mr. Dixon is no critic," yet he
is editor of the Athenxum. His lordship attributes
to his critics a trifle of fine frenzy, and not all " the
imbecility of ignorance ;" further on he alludes to
the wretched mistakes to which these gentlemen
have attached their names. His lordship is so fond
of a free fight that he cannot resist taking a header
into the battle, for his previous letter closed with
the distinct assertion that it would be the last tilt
he would run. Perhaps, on the whole, it would
have been as well for his lordship to have held to
his determination instead of selecting so doughty
a champion as Hepworth Dixon. If he had he
would not have received this thrust :—" I need
not bandy words on a grave subject with such a
reasoner as Lord %Vinchelsea. 'lruth is not to be
served by broad grins, profane language, and the
humour of a country fair. Some friend should tell
the noble lord that the most vicious circle
in which a man can argue is a horse collar."
It must gratify the Times to see that while its
writers are doubled up like a scroll with the heat
th mt there are those among the public who rush
furiously into print to give vent to the passion set
a-boiling. No sooner has one lord run his course
than another enters the lists with vizer do ivn, and
lance in rest--and away he goes against anything
and anybody who comes in his way ; while the
languid public feel that pleasing sensation which
labourers lying on the grass experience while in-
dolently watching others at work. The trumpet
sounds, and the herald exclaims—" Lord Redesdale
versus Mr. Watkin, M.P." His lordship is digni-
fied, ponderous, and with right on his side, so he
can afford to keep his temper. He is, too, a ve-
teran attacker of abuses, and we regret that he had
not the strength long ago to break up these rail-
way rings of fraud and corruption. Mr. Watkin
chivalrously throws himself forward as the cham-
pion of a bad cause, and one with which we believe
he has nothing to do further than being Chair-
man of a Railway Board. His vicious retorts
and threats ill become him when they are directed
against a man who he knows has no other
object than faithfully to discharge a duty he owed
the public. To hear Mr. Watkin one would ima-
gine that the most immaculate set of men in Eng-
land are the directors of railway companies, instead
of being the concoctors of false accounts, the de-
frauders of the public, of the jobbery which Lord
Rcdesdale pronounces to be the object of the mea-
sure whereon he commented, and which brought on
him the hostility of Mr. Watkin. It would better
become Mr. Watkin to aid Lord Redesdale in sup-
pressing abuses than to fly at him as he has done.
Does the hon. member surpose that the indignant
denial dodge can now have any weight with the
swindled public? That has been tried too often
before; and merely heaping abuse on the head of
Lord Redesdale will bring the public very quickly
to that nobleman's side. However, after daring
Lord Redesdale to publish the correspondence, Mr.
Watkin replies quite tamely and disappoints the
expectation raised by the fury of his first attack.

our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty eight.

The most delicious and sustaining beverage that
can be drunk this weather is good strong tea cooled down
with lumps of ice. It should bo only slightly sweetened,
without milk, and flavoured with a few slices of lemon,
which aro infused at the time the tea is first made. A
jug of this ready at hand would suit the complaint of
many of our readers to a T whilst the thermometer re-
mains where it is and has been of late.—Medicai Times and
Gazette.

What the heat has done for New York has been
to slay 300 people within the metropolitan districts
in three days according to medical statistics. A cor-
respondent, writing to us from Astor House, heads
his letter " The Heated Term," and justly declares
it to be the most disastrous known for a generation.
His letter is dated July 16, and he declares that on
the 14th no less than 80 cases were reported to the
coroners ; on the 15th more than 50 deaths oc-
curred from sun-stroke, and during the three days
there were 250 cases in which death resulted
directly from the heat. Our correspondent graphi-
cally describes the effect on men " at their last gasp
while not a breath of air was stirring, yet they
bad to gasp twice, and those who failed died
in the attempt." Broadway was strewed like a
battlefield with the bodies of men and horses. One
enjoyment alone remained for exhausted nature,
and of such a heavenly character as to be almost
worth toiling through that purgatory to attain.
New York is the city of drinks, from the " Catawba
Cobbler" to the " Corpse Reviver," and men spent
their last dollar in thus moistening their clay, and
then went out into Broadway to die. Have we
drifted nearer to the sun 4—for when we heard that
New York was within an ace of bursting into spon-
taneous combustion, the horrible thought presented
itself to our mind that we had been jerked out of
our groove and would presently light up the hea-
vens as we hurried along in a blaze, with every
telescope the planets could muster fixed upon us,
while their astronomers calmly discussed the un-
usual phenomenon.

The Spirit tells a story of an immense striped
bass hooked by Mr. Cotte, of New York, member of the
Pasquo Island Club. The fish was thought to bo six feet
long, and to weigh at least 100 lb. But though the veteran
fisherman played him for two hours, the bass won in the
end, catching tho lino round the point of a rock
snapped it, and went on its way (says the Spirit) rejoicing,
which wo very much doubt. Mr. E. Phalon, also of the
Pasqua Island Club, captured a bass weighing 541 b. If
the Cuttyhunkers do not look out they will this season be
beaten by the Islanders.

The business of the Conference was resumed on Mon-day
morning ; the president in the chair. A deep glooin was
cast over the Conference by the announcement that the
Rev. Alexander James, who left Liverpool for Rudders.,
field on Saturday morning, for the purpose of preaching
Sunday-school sermons, had been found dead in
bed on Sunday morning. The designations of
the Conference last year were read and confirmed,
as :follows : —That the: Rev. W. Arthur, !M.A., be ap-
pointed principal of the Wesleyan College at Belfast for
three years, but that his name be retained as honorary
secretary in connection with the Mission House. n was
resolved that Dr. Osborne be appointed theological tutor,
