Tea Us. Opium, 1t is no, perhaps generally |
known that the trade in opium has been forbidden
by the Chinese government rs destructive TO its
subjects and the most vi giani preventive measures
have been resnrtcd to, for its entire suppression
Formerly this trade extended only TO four or fse
thousand chests, but the profit sProving SD great

coursg cement il is snid of the Government which
derives the lions share, has been pushed 10 forty
thousand chests. Finding the measures Of the
Chinese TOO active to be evaded, it is in contempa.
ton carry the con,raband article into the ports
in armed vessels, many Of which are now fitting
gu, in the ports of British India. 1t was long
thought that the Chinese government connived at
this trade, but it lie now evident they are resolved
on its suppression. Should these armed vessels,
known 10 be too strong for the Chinese preventive
service, determine on carrying the opium into port
under protection of their own guns re,alatory
measures are inevitable. Tho Chinese are not
likely to draw The delicate line Of distinction which
marks the responsibilities Of what they deem the
barbarian cabinets. The act of British vessel
under British colours will be considered by these
unsophis,icaled logicians an ac, of the British
government, and the inevitable consequences will
be the soppage Of the tea trade. Now though
opium smuggling may be very profitable to the
ocai Indian Government the Tea trade is far e
important to the Exchequer Of the mother country
and ii is therefore eviden. that superior orders from
home will stop the obnoxious traffic. Ii forms
curious picture to contemplate, thus to see the
morals o. vast empire like China saved from de-
