MIDDLEWOOD' 8 GENUINE BOTANIC OIL.
JM. respectfully recommends the use of a small box, to
o prove the superior efficacy of the Botanic Oil, where
dot known ;it has never failed to renovate-and produce a
luxuriant growth of hair, when every other application has
failed ; it is free from the corrosive and drying properties of
compound oils, and, when dissolved, is as pure as spring
water • it renders the scalp agreeably cool, soft, and healthy ;
it eradicates dandriff, and produces the richest fragrance and
lustre, even when the hair is on the decline and turning grey.
J. M. is well aware of the great utility of the Botanic Oil,
and the inconvenience occasioned to his Agents by not being
regularly supplied, and assures them that arrangements are
now making that will enable him to meet the increasing
demand.
J. M. has, in addition to his extensive Stock of Fruits,
just received from Five to Six Hundred Dozens of the finest
Shaddoeks and Forbidden Fruit ; also, ten large Cases of
New Talilat or Preserved Dates ; which, with his Preserved
Tamarinds, Ginger, Limes, Shaddock and Orange Marma-
lades, he will sell in small jars and packages, for the conve-
nience of families in town and country, at wholesale prices.
An allowance will also be made to purchasers of the Botanic
Oil, or Vegetable Oil Soap, by the dozen or half-dozen.

LOOSE TEETH FASTENED.
And filling Decayed Teeth with Minera farmoraturn.
MON s. LE DRAY and CO., Surged elitists, respect-
fully inform the Nobility, Gentry, and I iabitants of Liver-
pool and its vicinity, that they have opened an Establishment
permanently at No. 38, SEEL-STREET, eight doors from
Berry-street. They continue to till up the cavities of De-
cayed Teeth with their Mineral Marmoratum, without the
least pain, heat, or pressure ; it is placed into the cavity in
an almost liquid state, and in a few seconds gets hard, pre-
venting and curing the Tooth-ache, arresting all further pro-
gress of decay, and rendering the operation of extraction
unnecessary. The Mineral not only converts a mere shell
into a sound and useful tooth, but, by completely stopping
up the cavity, prevents effectually that unpleasant taint of
he breath which invariably accompanies a decayed tooth.
Among the various disorders of the Teeth and Gums there
are none more destructive in their effects, or more generally
prevalent, than Scurvy ; and it is well known that the loss
of Teeth arises more from this cause than any other. It
affects individuals of all ages and of all constitutions, and is
the primary cause of Tooth-ache and decay. To those so
affected, Mons. LE DRAY and Co. have to inform them,
that they can effectually remove this destructive complaint
by a single application, without the slightest pain.
Artificial and Natural Teeth, of surpassing beauty, fixed
from one to a complete set, without extracting the roots or
giving any pain, without aptings, wires, or ligatures, an-
swering all the purposes of Mastication and Articulation,

MILK PUNCH
THIS unique and nectarious Liqueur has, for nearly a
century, been duly appreciated at
CHICHESTER AND THE METROPOLIS.
It Was at the former place where the or• al projector of this
delectable beverage had his abode ; no oubt the corporation
of that ancient borough evinced their od taste, and marked
their approbation of this
GREAT DISCOVERY,
by presenting to him the freedom of the town; but with that
the present generation have nothing to do ; suffice it to say,
that this ELIXIR
is now, for the very first time, introduced to the notice of the
bon vivants of the northern parts of this great Kingdom for
their judgment.

It would be quite in vain to enter into any detail of its
excellencies, yet, thus far may be vouched, that it is composed
of the best materials, without any adulteration, and, in
flavour, possesses the combined sweetness Qf .the Grape, the
fragrance of the Lime, with the exhiliration of Champagne ;
and while

THE LORDS OF THE CREATION
will find it an excellent addenda to the Dinner Table,
THE GENTLER SEX •
may not disdain to sip, the inure so as
ROYALTY
has acknowledged its transcendant merit.
It has been intimated that it will prevent
SEA SICKNESS,
but of that we will not vouch, never having crossed the
" briny deep" with it in our possession; but should not Pro-
prietors of

PACKET-SHIPS AND STEAMERS
take the hint ? And although it may not produce that " con-
summation devoutly to be wished," yet, sure we are, its
grateful properties are such as will be found to be an excellent
restorative to the palates and stomachs of those who suffer
from the effects of a sea voyage. It will keep in any climate,
and possesses that sure criterion of genuine excellence,
improves by aye.

representations were sent home, but they awakened no
attention from Government. (Hear.) Meanwhile the opium
trade was swelling to a dangerous height. When Captain
Elliot urged this danger, with reference to the case of the
smuggling vessel Jardine, Lord Palmerston only told him to
be cautious how he interfered- beyond his authority. In-
stead of a naval force stationed, according to the Duke of
Wellington's counsel, the whole protection which British
property obtained in the recent hour of need was from a
merchantman, whose commander had the' public spirit to
arm her with gunssat his own expense: Captain Elliot, un-
til latterly, had acted with prudence as well as energy ; but
his later conduct had undoubtedly been censurable, particu-
larly his attempt at a blockade, and his engagement with the
Chinese vessels on the 3d of November. We were now en-
gaged in a war of which the circumstances were as formi-
dable as the stake was important. Had it been preceded by
due precaution, and brought on by the just necessity of self-
defence, he believed that the martial spirit of England would
have girded her cheerfully for the contest: but when mi-
nisters had pertinaciously neglected precaution, slighting all
the warnings of such a statesman as the Duke of Welling.
ton, and all the experience of the merchants most conver-
sant with the trade, and when the superintendent was left
without
.instructions or powers to meet an emergency fore-
seen•and foretold, he did not believe that the people would
patiently submit to burdens for the continuance of a struggle
in which success would be unattended with glory, while de-
feat would be followed by ruin.
Mr. Macauhax congratulated himself and his colleagues
that the share had been no stronger. It was wholly retro-
spective; and it alleged no blame but that of omission.
There was hardly any transaction upon which an ingenious
man might not argue that if something else had been done
things might hal. e been better. The despatches might in-
deed have been thought too general if they had been written
for a minister at Paris; but in this case the scene was fifteen
thousand miles off, and the circumstances might have changed
repeatedly before specific instructions could • hai',e reached
the officer. Sir James Graham should have shown ,what
particular acts ought to have been done. As to the two ins
structions which had been complained of as errors unre-
yoked, they had donesno harm, for they bad not been among
the subjects of dispute with China ; nor had the instructions
about the use of the word " pin," for on this Captain Elliot
had taken upon himself to forbear acting. As to the ships
of war, the Dukes meaning had ben, that they should be
retained only till time renewal of trade, as inteerupted.rtnder
Sir G: Robinson. That intetruption- had 'ceased ; and it
might have produced excitement to make a needless exhibi-
tion of armed force. It was true, that no powers had -been
sent out for suppressing the opium trade; but that was be-
cause, until 1838, it was expected that the Chinese govern-
ment were about to legalise it. But if an order had been
seat to put it down, that order. would have been a dead letter.
It was impossible, even in this country, to put down smug-
gling. The cou.i.4oq-exclusion of .the-opiton frostesearttem
would rave driven it on shore in other places, where colli-
sions would have occurred with the Meal authorities, and a
'general system of bucaneering would have arisen thtoughont
the water surrountling China. Be feared that too flimsy
were disposed, to vote on this question as if the armament
had been undertaken to sustain a trade in. opium. It was •
not for that purpose that a force had been sent out. but for
the redress of insults and injuries no longer endurable. The
mover 'himself had not objected to a war on such grounds,
and it was consolatory to know, that if the result of the di-
vision should compel a change of men, it would, on this
point, cause no change'of measures.
Sir W. Foieserr took the same view with Sir James
Graham, of the unjuslitiable neglect exhibited by government
on the subject of the powers necessary for the superintend-
ent, under the novel circumstances of the opening of the
China trade. If the officer in China was too distant to be
regulated from home, the reason was the stronger for giving
him the power to make his own regulations on the spot. Sir
W. Follett quoted various passages from the despatches of
Captain Elliott, describing the damages and pressing most
urgently for instructions and powers, none of which requests
had awakened any attention. In the time of the East India
Company its supercargoes had effectual powers, and if their
orders were disobeyed the lisense of the ship was forfeited.
An order in council had been passed to give similar powers to AssJY.
the king's superintendent, but there being no longer any
system of licensing, there was nothing to forfeit, and the •
order in council was ineffectual. The defect was pointed out
to government, but they never amended it. They had refused
to let their people be tried by the Chinese jurisdictions, and
yet they had neglected to establish any of their own, as under
the China trade act they might and ought to have done. He
doubted the justice of these hostilities; and, unless that
justice were clear, he was averse to let loose the calamities of
war against this numerous people. Mr. Macauley had said
the war would be popular. That was very questionable. A
great change had taken place in public.opinion on such sub-
jects; and it was impoSsible to say what a war like this might
involve, or where it would end:
Sir G. STAUNTON thought the war both just and necessary.
He disapproved of the opium trade on moral grounds, but
the morality of that trade was not the question here. Our
empire in the east rested on opinion, which would be much
endangered if we were to submit Passively to insult. He did
not see that the despatches of Lord Palmerston had anycott-
nexion with the main question.
'Mr. SIDNEY HERBERT said it was precisely because those
despatches bore so little on the main question that the present
motion entitled itself to support. The duke's memorandum
had greatly increased Lord Pahnerston's responsibility. Mr.
Macaulay had said the Duke did not contemplate the per-
manent employment of the naval force ; but Lord Palmer-
ston's despatches expressed a different opinion. The justice
of the war had been insisted on—he doubted it much; but
his present complaint 'against ministers was not for sending
the armament, but for having made the armament necessary.
The debate was adjourned.

HOUSE • OF. LORDS.—MoNDAV.
Many petitions were presented on the subject of the Corn-
laws, and against the Municipal Corporations (Ireland) Bill.
The latter petitions led to some interesting conversation, in
which the Marquis of Londonderry took part, enumerating,
among other matters, the number of defeats in the Lords and
Commons to which the Ministers had been exposed.
The Marquis of Nottm Away entered into explanations re-
garding the temperance pro'cessioilS in Ireland, and said that,
though he could not object' to the motives and"sentilnents of
the parties, he did consider " as unwise" the assembling of
such large numbers cf people.
The LORD CHANCELLOR moved the second reading of the
Printed Papers' Bill. The measure, he'said; left the ques-
tion of privilege entirely untouched, and merely applied a re-
medy to inconveniences which had been found to result from
the law as laid down by the Court of Queen's Bench. The
question, he said, was not whether they did or did not pos-
sess the right, hat whether it was or was not expedient that
some mode should be prescribed by which this object could
be attained, that the right should be put in operation.
Therefore, any one who contended for privilege in the highest
sense would not find the bill at all interfere with what he was
anxious to establish. Those who contended that the privi-
lege did not exist, would find that the bill only proposed a
legal mode of enforcing that which it was declared ought not
to be enforced by ordinary means.
Lord DENMAN observed that it was most desirable that
the present state of things on the subject should be put an
end to; and it was• quite impossible 'for anything to have
been brought forward in a more conciliatory tone than bad
been exhibited by his noble and learned friend. The noble
and learned lord pr weeded to remove, as he said, the mis-
conceptions whiehliad'generally prevailed in consequence of
the 'discussions of the last four months,-and rescue ncrsons
who had only done their duty from undeserved censure.
Lord MxLcoonNE expressed satisfaction at learning that
no opposition was to be given to the bill; and endeavoured
by a variety of reasons to show the necessity of it.
The Duke of WELLINGTON observed, that the principal
merit of the bill was that it threw no censure on the Court
of Queen's Bench. His grace allowed the necessity of the.
measure ; and attributed to the sale of the reports of the
commons what had taken' place. _
After some observations from Lord Wynford, Viscount
Gage, the Marquis of Bute, and the Lord Chancellor in
reply, the bill was read a second time, and the committee
was fixed for Friday.

HOUSE OF COMMONS:----M-oxDAr.
There were presented many petitions .on various subjects,
one of which was by Mr. T. Duxcomnr•., regarding theatri-
cal performances in Passion-week. It was ordered to be
printed with the votes, Mr. Duncombe giving notice that he
should submit a motion on the subject on Thursday.
Mr. Hun' stated that after the Easter recess he should
move for leave to bring in a bill to enable parties to grind
foreign corn in bond.
Mr. SLANEY gave notice that on Thursday he should
move for leave to bring in a bill to amend the laws relating
to loan societies. -

• Sir J. GRASS sat, seeing Sir W. Molesworth in his place,
wished to ask him a question. That hon. member had a mo-
tion on the paper which stood first for to-day. He by no
means undervalued the importance of that motion, but con-•
sidering the length of tithe the papers relative to China had
been laid on the table, and as it might be the wish of the
house to express an opinion upon them before the adjourn-
ment, perhaps the hon. Member would allow the motion re-
garding China to take precedence.
Sir W. Mor.EswoßTs.answered that be was rather reluc-
tant to yield precedence, as the motion relative to the.aboli-
tion of transportation to the Australian provinces was one of
very great consequence; but as many hon. members, he be-
lieved, were anxious to express their opinions upon the mo-
tion of the hon. barmiet, he would not oppose himself to the
wish of the house. He trusted that the house would in re-
turn, reward him with a patient bearing as soon after Easter
as possible.

LORD J. RUSSELL gave notice that on Wednesday week
he should move the adjournment of the house to that day
fortnight.

General JOHNSTON asked the Secretary for the Colonial
department whether there was any likelihood of the papers
moved for relative to the new poor law, being laid on the ta-
ble before the noble lord brought in his new poor law bill?
Those returns were very material, and he thought informa-
tion ought to be in the hands of the house at the time the
bill was presented. He should move that those returns be
nude forthwith, unless the noble lord gave him a satisfactory
answer.

Lord J. RUSSELL answered that he did not know the ex-
act nature of the returns, but he had no doubt they were in
the course of preparation. There were many clerks em-
ployed at that moment in preparing the various returns that
had been ordered ; but if those returns were to be ordered,
great additional expense would be incurred.
Mr. Hymn said that only extracts 'were wanted, which
would not occupy a single clerk but for a short time. Seeing
Lord Palmerston in his place, he asked when the papers re-
lating to the commercial treaty with Turkey would be ready ?
Lord PALM•ERSTON answered that he would make in-
quiry.

Mr. EMERSON TSNNENT gave notice that after. Easter he
should call attention to the delay which had taken place in
the settlement of the British claims on the Government of
•.the Brasils arising.out of the revolution at Para.
Lord J. Russ ELI.
,informed„.the.louser that .sluca.lua Lart
been asked the question by an hon. member, he had received
a despatch from the Governor-General of Canada respecting
the monastery of San Sulpice at Alontreal. It was a subject
on which a good deal of discussion had taken place ever
since 1826. The question was not settled when Lord
Gosford was in Canada, and at that time the commis-
sioners came to an opinion that, whatever the law might do
in equity, the crown ought not to dispute the general
claim of the ecclesiastical corporation. Lord Seaton pro-
posed an ordinance on the subject when in Canada, in accord-
ance with the views of all persons in Canada holding land
under the ecclesiastical corporation ; that ordinance became
inoperative, and Mr. Poulett Thomson was now going to pro-
pose a similar ordinance, coupling it with.certain propositions
contained in the report made by the hon. member for Lis-
keard when in Canada. If the ordinance were to be objected
to, he knew not upon what grounds, except it was, Ist, on
the ground that the Roman Catholics ought not to be placed
in the same situation as other parties ; or, 2dly, that they
had been treated with partiality. The noble lord concluded
by laying on the table a copy of the despatch.
Lord J. RUSSELL afterwards moved the second reading of
the ecclesiastical duties and revenues bill.
Sir R. INGLIS opposed its principle, and said he should
take the sense of the house on it.
After extended discussion, in which many opposition mem-
bers expressed themselves favourable to the plan of going
into committee to see whether they could not make the bill
more perfect, the house divided, and the numbers were—For
the second reading 87; against it, 11—majority 76.
The other orders of the day, Lord Seaton's annuity bill,
Sc., were afterwards proceeded with.

HOUSE OF LORDS.—TUESDAY.
Many petitions were presented against revision of the
corn-laws.

The Marquis of LONDONDERRY presented a petition from
Londonderry against the municipal corporations (Ireland)
bill, and observed that noble lords opposite had been deceived
by their radical friends, when told the corporation of London-
derry was in favour of this bill.

HOUSE OF LORDS.—WEDNESDAY.
The House of Lords did not sit to-day.

Tile Bishop of EXETER, after entering into ample and in-
structive details on the subject of the clergy reserves, Canada,
moved that those questions be put to the judges.
Lord MEt.uouuNg resisted the motion as unnecessary.
A debate of some length ensued, in the course of which the
Duke of Wellington spoke in support of the motion. Lord
Bllenborough added, that he also had a question to put to
the judges.

'Their lordships eventually divided—for the motion, 57 ;
against it, 40 ; majority, 17.
Their lordships then adjourned.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.—WEDNESDAY.
The business began by passing the South-Eastern De-
viation Bill.
The report of the Juvenile Offenders Bill was brought up
and ordered to he printed.
Numerous petitions were then presented, and a discussion
arose on the printing of petitions, which was closed by a just
remark of Mr. T. DUNCOMBE, " That in conformity with
the resolution of the house in March, 1839, all that it was ne-
cessary for a member to do in order to have a petition
printed was to intimate that it was his intention to bring its
subjeoi- utuler, the consideratiou of the-iv:rse.- --It was- not
required that he should state the specific nature of the in-
tended motion."

HOUSE OF COMMONS—TUESDAY.
Mr. BAILLIE, the new member fur Inverness-shire, took
.he oaths and his seat.

The motion that this petition which had given rise to this
conversation be printed with the votes was then agreed to.
Among the petitions was one from the guardians of a poor-
law union in East Sussex, stating that for five yearsfthe ser-
vices of the Assistant Poor-law Commissioner had been very
useful, but, such services being now no longer required, they
prayed that the number of those commissioners might be re-
duced.

Mr. CLIVE brought up the report of the select committee
on the Totness election. The return had been a double one.
The report of the committee declared the election void both
with regard to Mr. Baldwin and Mr. Blount, and a writ was
afterwards ordered for the election of a new member.
On account of the illness of Mr. Sotheron, the appoint-
ment of the Cambridge Election Committee was further
postponed.
Mr. IlumE gave notice, that he would on an early day
after Easter move for leave to bring in a bill to repeal the
Official Pensions Bill.

On the motion of Lord J. RUSSELL an address to Her
Majesty was agreed to, praying that she would be graciously
pleased that there be laid on the table of the House a copy
of the correspondence with the Secretary of State relative to
New Zealand.

After a short conversation with Lord JOHN RussEss,
the Committee on Mr. Sergeant TOLFOURD'S Copyright Bill
was fixed for Wednesday, the 29th init.
The adjourned debate on Sir JAMES GRAHAM'S motion
respecting China was then begun by Mr. 11,swEs. lie
thought the mover ought to have stated the policy which the
Opposition, in the, event of their succeeding to office, were
prepared to adopt on the subject of the opium trade. To
suppress it would be beyond their power or that of the
Chinese Government itself. He approved the strong mea-
sures taken to uphold the national dignity, and vindicated the
absence of instructions on the ground that so distant a settle-
ment as that of Canton could not have been governed by
orders from home. He attributed the motion to mere party
feeling, and should join in opposing it.
Mr. THESIGER, in answer to the objection that the terms
the motion expressed no opinion on the merits of the war,
observed, that there had been so many contradictions, even
among the ministerial partizans themselves, on the question
whether we are actually at war or not, that it was impossible
for the mover to have stated any positive opinion whether
the war was a just one. Mr. Thesiger then censured the
two original mistakes of directing Lord Napier to insist on a
direct communication with the' Chinese authorities, and of
instructing him to fix his residence at Canton. Lord Napier
had sunk under the difficulties of his position, and been suc-
ceeded by Mr. Davis, who made way for Sir G. Robinson.
The two latter abstained from aggravating the mischief occa-
sioned by Lord Napier's too implicit obedience to his orders,
and both pressed earnestly for further instructions. The
first of their requests arrived at the Foreign-office in Ja-
nuary, 1835, and 17 months elapsed before the present
government took any notice of it. Mr. Thesiger proceeded
to quote passages from the published papers, being connuni-
cations by the superintendents of the difficulties with which
they were pressed, and entreaties for directions from the
home government, all of which representations had been
disregarded. The -despatch sent out, after the interval
of 17 months, was one of no practical application ; but
the effort of writing it so exhausted the noble Secretary for
Foreign Affairs, that he immediately relapsed into his usual
lethargy. He, however, removed Sir G. Robinson, and
without any apparent reason ; but this removal, like all the
former steps, was unattended with any practical instructions.
The only point on which he seemed at all to have roused him-
self was that of the "yin." It was true that in governing
a distant country much should be left to the local authorities,
but here was no local authority invested with any power.
Sir G. Robinson, in one of his despatches, said, that lie could
put down smuggling of opium, in British ships, if proper
power were sent him from home. The Chinese had, indeed.
enforced their edicts against that traffic with considerable
severity ; but this was an exercise of right on their part,
which strangers were not entitled to complain of. At length
extremities had been reached, and we were committed to war,
the cause of which he believed to be, the insisting on points
to which the prejudices of China were opposed, and the neg-
lect to furnish the superintendent with the necessary powers.
Mr. C. Busa,Fat
.said, that if there was blame in the neglect
to answer the despatches relating to the transactions in Lord
Napier's tune, that blame must be shared by the Duke cf
Wellington, who was in office at the commencement of 1835,
and sent out only one despatch, wherein lie referred the su-
perintendent to the instructions of Lord Palmerston. The
charge here was a charge of omission ; surely, then, it was
incumbent on the accusers to say what that was that ought
to have been done. He felt the seriousness and importance
of the pending war, but he must condemn the party motives
of those who, instead of debating the great questions of poli-
cy raised by it, reduced the whole discussion to a repetition
of the no-confidence vote. Nothing was more easy than the
retrospective foresight now exhibited by the opposition.
They enlarged upon the good effects which might have arisen
from proper poWers and instructions ; but what those powers
and instructions should have been they wholly omitted to
suggest. The noble secretary's course had at least this me-
rit—that it made things no worse. The Chinese were not
wholly to blame. It was but too natural for them to enter-
tain suspicion of the British designs, when they remembered
that the overthrow of the greatest dynasty in Asia had origi-
nated in the humble solicitation of two or three British mer-
chants at the court of Aurungzebe for leave to establish a
factory, the modern owners of which factory now maintained
the last descendant of that prince as their dependent pension-
er. Even in the days of the Last India company there were
frequent interruptions of the trade; but the emptily had
this advantage, that the whole of that commerce being under
their own control, they could bring the Chinese to reason by
the total stoppage of it. He believed that some such collision
as the present was inevitable in the natural course of events ;
but he munch re-rotted that its immediate cause was the trade
in opium, and that we were likely to be regarded by the world
as taking arms for the• maintenance of that injurious traffic.
The accusers of ministers contended that by due exertion the
British Government might have effected the suppression of
the trade ; but the published papers, from which he cited
several passages, appeared to him to disprove that hypothesis.
It was idle to suppose that the British Government or the
Chinese, or both together, could stop the smuggling of an
article which was in great popular demand.
Mr. GLADSTONE said that the Duke of Wellington, during
the short period of his administration in 1835, had sent a
despatch in February, and in March had digested the con-
siderations appertaining to the subject, and left them to his

Several private bills were forwarded a stage, among them
the Farmers and General Fire and Life Assurance Company
Bill was read the second time.

Mr. Oitn presented the panels for election committees on
the Totness and Cambridge petitions. The members select-
ed for the former committee were duly sworn ; but the in-
disposition of one of the members (Mr. Estcourt Sotheron),
named on the latter committee, being pleaded and supported
by medical evidence, it was moved that he should be excused
from attendance. A discussion followed, and the decision of
the house was eventually deferred till Wednesday.
Mr. Fox MAur,E gave notice, that on Tuesday next he
would move for leave to bring in a bill for the better regula-
tion of the trade of chimney sweeping.

THE CHINA QUESTION.
Sir JAMES GRAHAM then proceededto open the debate on
his motion regarding the affairs of China. In moving a rest),
lution that the rupture with China has been mainly owing to
theimprudence of ministers, and to their neglect to furnish
the superintendent at Canton with powers and instructions
calculated to provide against -the evils of the opium trade,
and adapted to his new and difficult situation, the right hon.
baronet began by adverting to the magnitude of the interests
now affected. One sixth of our whole commercial revenue,
he said, depended on the maintenance opur relations with
China, It would be unwise to deceive ourselves by adopting
the vulgar notion of her weakness. She had 35,000,000 of
people, directed by one man, with one language, one code of
laws, one religion, one national feeling, a fertile,and well-
watered soil, and an annual revenue of .-CG0,000,000, unen-
cumbered by debt. Was it prudent to quarrel with such a
jealousy
people as this ? (Hear, hear.) They had an universal
of strangers, especially of the English, whose establishment
and advance in Hindostan they had viewed with some alarm.
The East India Company, while it possessed the trade, had
been careful in its injunctions of forbearance to its supercar-
goes. Resolutions to the like effect had been moved in the
House of Commons by Sir John Staunton, when the trade
was thrown open. At that time two errors had beell
com-
mitted; experience had since shown them to be injuriousones; but they were unrecalled. One was the instruction in
the king's superintendent to take up IT residence at Canton ;
the other, for him to treat directly with the viceroy, instead
of communicating as theretoforethreugh the Hong merchants.
The Duke of Wellington had left in the foreign office a me-
morandum, which should have been the guide of his succes-
sor. The duke had intended it only for his own colleagues,
but had not shrunk from the responsibility of leaving it as
his recorded opinion. On both the before-mentioned errors
this memorandum was explicit ; but to both hail Lord Pal-
merston adhered. The memorandum recommended the con-
stitution of a court having criminal and admiralty jursdic-
tion, which the superintendent should exercise over the
king's subjects; and it advised the employment of a stout
frigate ;nnt a smaller vessel of war to be retained witlm the
reach of the officer. All these recommendations had been
neglected. Lord Strathallan had strongly counselled that
an autograph letter should be sent from the King of England
to the Emperor of China as a basis of friendly relations.
Each successive superintendent had repeated the same ad-
vice ; but nothing of the kind had been done;- and during
five years of correspondence,- the only- sentence bordering
upon the subject, was a passing observation upon a proposal
for a special commission to make arrangements with the
Chinese government about the opium trade, as a suggestion
upon which " government do not see their way with suffici-
ent clearness to justify them in adopting it at the present
moment." Captain Elliott soon felt the deficiency of his
powers. He had repeatedly applied for an increase of them,
and explained the circumstances of the crisis which pressed
him. The . Chinese, when urging him to take any step
with respect to the English, remarked, that having orders
from his king, to repress what was evil, he of course
had powers by which those orders could be fulfilled. 'These
