calculation. hold a prominent position in most Anglo-
Saxon kearts. Projects, designs, and undertakings of all
kinds with us, are usually pondered over and internally
discussed, before their final adoption, Outbursts of pas-
sion are rarely suffered to devastate tne cool, calculating
hearts of the tome children of Britain. They possess an
innate proneness to investigate thoroughly the principles
on which all things they have to deal with are based—
thus their actions almost universsally spring from the
employment of rational faculty, call it as you please, reason

rence to the correspondence which has passed between
you and this office respecting the securities taken by her
Majesty's. Consuls at Shanghae for duties, which, in con-
sequence of the state of affairs at that port, the Chinese
authorities were themselves unable to collect; I am directed
by the Earl of Clarendon to acquaint you that, after com-
municating with Sir George Bonham, and upon a full
consideration of the question in all its bearings, H.M.'s
Government have decided that those securities shall be
cancelled and returned-to-the-parties by whom they were
given; and instructiOns.to that effect will be sent by the
next mail to her Majesty's plenipotentiary and chief
superintendent of British trade in China.—l am, sir, your
nost obedient humble servant, E. HAMMOND. T. Barley,

ery valuable pecuniary advantage to the owners of all
easels that have cleared out from Shanghae, and in
