restriction, and therefore restriction is imposed. Be it so; but all experience-ancient and modern-the judgment of nearly every man competent to think upon the subject, the convictions of the more eminent among practical men of business (including the late Mr. ROTHSCHILD), bear out the assertion that it is also for the good of the public that usury should be subject to restraint. The laws of nearly all civilized countries, and especially of all commercial countries, have enforced restraint; and we may rest assured that no country will ever be permanently in a sound and healthy state where men are left at liberty to devour one another by the instrumentality of usurious exaction.

On the 6th of May last, we reprinted from the China Mail some remarks on the introduction at Hong Kong, by order of the Post-Office authorities in England, of some singularly absurd and inconvenient regulations affecting the payment of postage and the delivery of letters, and we took occasion to give some observations of our own on the subject, in addition to those of our China cotemporary. On the 25th of May, we quoted from the same paper a paragraph announcing that a meeting had been held for the purpose of taking measures for getting rid of the obnoxious regulations, which had resulted in the appointment of a committee, by whom a memorial to the Postmaster-general on the subject had been prepared; which memorial had been extensively signed, and was transmitted home by the Braganza. In making this announcement, our goodhumoured and confiding brother observed, "The evils complained of are so manifest, that when, as in this memorial, they are clearly and temperately pointed out to the authorities in St. Martin's-le-Grand, we have great hope they will be immediately remedied." On this we took the liberty of making the following remark :"Alas! our cotemporary knows but little of the authorities of St. Martin's-le-Grand if he supposes that an abuse will be remedied because exposed. If such were the case, the PostOffice would be the most perfect establishment in the world."

The expression of our incredulity as to any beneficial effect to be derived from the memorial was prophetic. We do not imagine that the ruling powers in the Post-Office had any intention to establish for us a reputation for extraordinary powers of foresight, but they have literally done what we intimated they would do—that is, nothing at all. In the China Mail of August the 9th we find a letter, signed by Mr. CAMPBELL (Colonel MABERLY being, we suppose, otherwise engaged), in which, under the usual mass of official verbiage, is conveyed an intimation that the Postmastergeneral will not rescind the offensive regulations. Our China brother has commented so satisfactorily on this determination, that it is unnecessary for us to say much on the subject. To one part of his remarks we beg to call especial attention. "The case of the public," says the editor of the China Mail, 66 we now know, will not be much considered in St. Martin's-le-Grand; but should more time and more clerks be demanded, without any accession to the revenue, the present regulation may possibly be reconsidered." This, we tell our China friends, is the way in which an impression will be made upon the Post-Office authorities, if made at all. Pinch them in the revenue, and they

will wince. Colonel MABERLY has always stood up for revenue against every thing else. Mr. HILL predicted that his changes would not lead to any permanent loss of revenue, and as to realize this prediction is an object of some interest with him, though not of first-rate importance, now that he has gained a good fortune and a good place, he is, according to report, cutting down right and left, in the hope of effecting his object; his own salary, we need not say, being very reverently respected. Pinch the PostOffice Lords, then, in that very tender place, revenue, and they will yield. Even Colonel MABERLY is approachable there; Mr. HILL, we suspect (to use Mr. WAKLEY'S word), is rather more "squeezable," and any great increase of expense would give him a cold fit of ague. It is a fine thing to legislate for countries which we know nothing about. To play LYCURGUS blindfold is a noble exercise of power; but it is not convenient to find the amusement followed by consequences which cause grumbling at head-quarters. Insensible to every thing else, St. Martin's-le-Grand preserves a most devout regard for Downing-street. At this latter place, the Post-Office, like every existing thing, is regarded only as an instrument for raising money. As JAMES BRINDLEY held that natural streams existed for no other purpose but to feed navigable canals, so Lords of the Treasury, First class and Second, regard the sources of national property only as feeders for the Leviathan that revels in Downing-street. In all dutiful subservience, the Postal authorities take the same view; their senses are unaffected by the atmosphere of the Bourse, though so near it; they see with

Treasury eyes, hear with Treasury ears, and utter pom

pous nothings in the most approved Treasury forms. One of the Post-Office secretaries wherewith we are blest has all his life eaten Government bread, and we suppose scarcely knows the taste of any other. His partner long grazed wild upon the open field of speculation, till a haphazard, but lucky, leap lodged him snugly under Treasury cover, and gave him a right to the comforts of rack and manger therein. The change of food has, as might be expected, wrought an amazing change of character. The reformer of the Post-Office has become the apologist for all its abuses, and "things as they are" have not a more zealous advocate than Mr. ROWLAND HILL. This, however, we tell him, in all sincerity, will not do. He must not suppose that he can follow in the ordinary wake of noisy reformers, who, having gained their personal objects, sink down into the undistinguishable character of Government officials. This might be, if he were merely a successful place-hunter; but we shall remember, though he may find it convenient to forget, that place is not the only reward which he has received. With all humility-for Post-Office functionaries are not to be approached without humility-we beg to remind him that his name was kept long before the public eye as a candidate for such gratuities, small or large, as the liberal-minded might be disposed to contribute for his benefit, and that the movement was not made in vain. We are afraid to speak from memory as to the exact amount, therefore we shall simply say (which cannot be contradicted) that the subscription raised for him was a large one; and we will ask, is JOHN BULL to have nothing for his money? We will not consent to such a one-sided bargain, but shall continue, from time to time, to jog the memory of the recipient of the largess, in the hope of getting some service out of him. The public have bought Mr. HILL, and paid a good

In the above tables two circumstances seem worthy of remark; first, that while in America and Australia the quantity of green tea consumed in any year is, in some cases, treble, and in others quadruple the amount of black, the reverse is observable on the continent of Europe generally, and in Great Britain particularly, where the amount of black tea consumed exceeds the amount of green in almost the same proportion as in the first-named places the quantity of green is greater than the quantity of black. The second remarkable fact is, that while in the year ending the 30th of last June, the quantity of tea, of both sorts, consumed in Great Britain was (in round numbers) 53,000,000 lbs., the quantity consumed on the entire continent of Europe was only (in round numbers) 4,000,000 lbs., or less than 1-13th of the quantity used in England. The fluctuation in the quantities of the different sorts of teas imported are also singular. The quantity of hyson-skin annually imported has fallen off, since 1844, from 548,954 lbs. to 48,000 lbs.

The following is the amount of raw silk imported during the years named:

Rate of Postage for Letters in Hong Kong.-It is directed that all letters posted in any town in Hong Kong, and addressed to any person or place in such town or its suburbs, shall be charged one penny if not exceeding half an ounce in weight; if above that weight, a progressive scale of rates is appointed, as in England.

Alteration of former Warrant.-By Warrant, 11th Sept. 1845, it was directed that a rate of one shilling should be charged on every letter, not exceeding half an ounce, transmitted by packetboat between any of the countries or places mentioned below, provided such letters were not liable to the Red Sea or Persian Gulf rate of postage, in which case no additional rate should be charged. A progressive scale of additional rates was ordered for letters above half an ounce.

"Between the Cape of Good Hope, or any ports on the eastern coast of Africa, the Bay of Bengal, the Indian Ocean, any ports of Hindostan, Ceylon, or the East-India islands, and any port in China, the Chinese Sea, Australia, and New Zealand."

It is now ordered that the above shall not extend to letters from the United Kingdom conveyed by her Majesty's packetboats via Southampton, to any of the above-named places, although such letters may not be chargeable with the Red Sea or Persian Gulf postage.

Foreign Newspapers.-One penny is to be charged on every foreign printed newspaper carried by packet-boat between any British colony in the Mediterranean and any British colony in the East-India or China Seas, in addition to any rate of transit

postage for the conveyance of such newspaper through Egypt or any other foreign country.

A rate of twopence is imposed on all newspapers, British, foreign, or colonial, conveyed between any British colony in the Mediterranean and China, whether in private ship or packetboat, in addition to all other rates of postage chargeable on such newspapers.

Seamen and Soldiers' Letters.-Seamen and soldiers in the actual service of her Majesty or the East-India Company are empowered to send and receive letters, under half an ounce, on their own private concerns, by private ship, between any of her Majesty's colonies, at a postage of one penny, provided the gratuities to the master of the vessel, if such vessel be a private ship, are previously paid to the Post-Office.

Change of Station.-By a former warrant it was ordered that letters addressed to officers on foreign or colonial service who had, previous to the receipt of such letter, moved to another station, should be forwarded to such latter station without extra postage.

This is explained not to extend to letters addressed from the United Kingdom to any officer in the United Kingdom who, in the exercise of his duty, may have removed beyond the seas previously to the receipt of such letters.

Ships' Letters may be demanded.—An extension is made to Hong Kong of so much of the Act passed anno octo Victoriæ as enacts that ship-letters, if not otherwise exempted, may be demanded by, and shall be delivered to, any person appointed by the Postmaster-General to demand and receive such letters in the United Kingdom.

Penalties. All persons in ships who, after the ship's letters have been sent to the Post-Office, shall withhold letters from the Post-Office, not otherwise exempted, shall forfeit five pounds for every letter so withheld. A penalty of ten pounds is imposed on every ship-letter refused to the demand of the Postmaster-general's agents.

Packet Rate of Postage. All letters brought by packet-boat, whether in a mail bag or not, shall be chargeable with packetpostage.

MISCELLANEOUS.

THE LATE MR. THOM.-Mr. Robert Thom was born in St. Andrew Square, Glasgow, on the 10th of August, 1807. His father, Mr. John Thom, was a highly-respectable gentlemen, and had formerly been a merchant. Originally intended for mercantile pursuits, his son was placed in a merchant's house in Glasgow for a twelvemonth; after which he went to a similar situation in Liverpool for five years. In June, 1828, he went to the Caraccas for three years, and from thence to Mexico for a year and a half. Returning to England, he spent the winter and spring of 1833 in this country. In July of the same year he went to Bordeaux, in France, and from that place to China, where he landed February, 1834. In June, 1810, he entered the Government service. On the 3rd July in that year he nearly lost his life at Amoy, while carrying a flag-of-truce. Honourable mention of his conduct is made in the despatches of Admiral Elliott and Capt. Bourchier, which appeared in the London Gazette of 15th December, 1840. His exertions at Chusan in 1840-1 were indefatigable. His courage and activity on the Canton river, and at the siege of Canton, were highly spoken of in Capt. Scott's and Lord Gough's despatches, gazetted in 1841. Mr. Thom accompanied Lord Gough over the battle-fields of Amoy and Chiuhai; the former fought in August, the latter in October, 1841. At the latter action he was the means of saving the lives of 500 Chinese,-a circumstance which he said "gave me more pleasure than if I had been appointed Emperor of China." His civil administration of the city and district of Chiuhai, from October, 1841, to May, 1842, is one of the most interesting and brilliant passages in his eventful life. Not only did it obtain for him the approbation of those higher in office, but was commented on with applause by the Chinese themselves. Elipoo, when he was introduced to him, said, “La-pihtau (Robert Thom), I thank you for your civil mandarinship of Chiuhai,—it has gained for you a great name in China." On the 5th March, 1844, her Majesty was pleased to testify her sense and approbation of Mr. Thom's services by appointing him her consul at Ningpo, one of the five ports opened to foreign trade. Previously to this, disease had made fearful inroads on his constitution. Fevers in June, 1841, after the fatigues and exposure attendant on the siege of Canton; in September, 1842, in the Yang-tse- Kiang, after the conclusion of the Nankin treaty; and at Hongkong, in the summer of 1843, left behind them palpable effects, which terminated in his death on the 14th September, 1846, in the 39th year of his age. Mr. Thom early evinced an attachment to literary pursuits. During his sojourn in Liverpool, he was a constant contributor to the local press. While at the Caraccas be obtained a complete knowledge of the Spanish language, and in two years from his landing in China he could speak the language with fluency. In 1837 he was able to plead a cause in the mandarin or court dialect. His literary productions were,-1st. "A Chinese Tale" (noticed in a recent number of our journal). 2nd. "A Translation of sop's Fables into the Chinese Language" (somewhat, but not entirely, on the Hamiltonian system). This appeared early in 1840, and was mentioned in flattering terms by Cardinal Mezzofante, the great sinologue Professor Julien, of Paris, and Professor Basini. 3rd. "A Chinese and English Vocabulary." This is typographically a great curiosity, being printed by a native. The Chinese, our readers are probably aware, do not use moveable types in printing, but cut a fac-simile of the writing on a wooden block; so that it is, in fact, wood engraving. 4th. "A View of the Trade of China, past and prospective;" which was printed among the sessional papers of the House of Commons in 1844; and 5th. "The Chinese Speaker;" which was reviewed in our journal, Oct. 5. The two Pottinger trea ties with China were indebted to Mr. Thom; the "original" being partially, and the "supplementary" entirely, his production (under the supervision of Sir H. Pottinger).

*

to express my feelings on the occasion The feelings I experience are those of pride, gratitude, and surprise. Every Englishman fully knows the privilege of being the citizen of a free country, but to become a citizen of London,-a member of a corporation which is the first and most influential in the world, may well excite sentiments of very just and rational pride. These honours you have now conferred upon me; and in reverting to my ancestors, I am proud to renew links which have been so long broken. I am gratified in receiving your approbation and applause, for I am well aware that they proceed from a body capable of forming a fair and just opinion. I am surprised at the honour that has been done me, for I can truly say that I did not expect it. Allow me to say what I hope for the future. I trust that piracy will be so entirely crushed in those seas, that a small boat may be able to proceed in safety from one end of them to the other. I trust that the resources of the country will be developed--that the poorer classes of the natives will be allowed to reap the benefit of their honest industry. I hope that these and other adjacent countries will be opened to British enterprise and to the commerce of this our own city; and I trust that ultimately, after a long time, by gentle means and patient endeavour, the blessing of civilization and the light of the Gospel may shine on those benighted lands. (Cheers.)

LORD DALHOUSIE.-The magnificent steam-frigate Sidon is appointed to take out his lordship.

THE CHURCH IN INDIA.-The Globe states that the present dioceses of India-Calcutta, Madras, Bombay, and Colomboare to be divided into ten sees.

THE ARMY AT THE CAPE.-A correspondent of the Times complains of the want of tents, &c. by the Cape army. At the camp near Graham's Town there is no chaplain, and it is stated that converts are being made from Christianity to Mahudism!

DECCAN PRIZE MONEY.-Notice has been issued from the Royal Hospital Chelsea, to the effect, that payment of the final portion of prize money due to H. M. Troops, who served under the Marquess Hastings in the Pindaree War, during the years 1817 and 1818, will commence on the first of next month (December), and be continued at the secretary's office on each succeeding day, between the hours of 10 and 2.

INDIAN VIEW OF RAILWAY ADVANTAGES.-The terms which have now been offered will enable the railway company to raise funds to any extent in this country. As soon as the present five per cent. loan is closed, its notes will begin to bear a premium of two or three, perhaps of six or seven per cent. ; and there will therefore be the strongest inducement to subscribe for railway shares, which will soon obtain the same credit in the market as the government promissory notes. The whole sum of fifteen millions required for the Calcutta and Delhi rail, may be obtained in this country on these terms, with almost as much ease as in England. There is therefore no obstacle to the immediate commencement of the undertaking; and as it is left to the local authorities in India to regulate the direction which the rail will take, no time should be lost in directing Mr. Simms to report definitively on the most eligible line for the first stage from Calcutta. It is greatly to be desired that the ceremony of commencing this undertaking should if possible be included in the calendar of the present year. It will be a very pleasing circumstance, that the first sod of the first Indian railway should be turned up by the noble. man who has completed the conquest of India, and placed us, for the first time, in a position to devote the resources of the country to the pursuits of peace. It there be any truth in the report given in the Englishman-that Lord Dalhousie has the best chance of being appointed to succeed Lord Hardinge, we may expect that the cause of Indian rails will receive the greatest encouragement from the advent of a statesman, whose first introduction to public honours was in connection with the Railway department of the Board of Trade, in which he exhibited those talents for business which have contributed so speedily to raise him to the post of the highest responsibility in the British empire. In addition to all the commercial, social, political, and military advantages the rail will confer on the country, it will insure us cheap postage, and render a reduction of the charge on the transmission of newspapers, in whatever form it may be levied, a matter of certainty. The first section of the rail from Calcutta will extend into the coal district, and it is to be hoped proceed somewhat in advance of the tract of country of which the Bengal Coal Company has contrived to secure the exclusive possession. This will serve to break up the monopoly, and bring coal of a far superior description, and at a more economical rate, to Calcutta, and possibly reduce the price fully twenty-five per cent., thereby conferring an incalculable benefit on all our rising

enterprises; on our agricultural manufactures, as well as on our steam-packets. The heaviest item of charge on the river steamers is, we believe, that of coal; and until the cost of fuel can be reduced, it may be questioned whether the rates of freight could be safely reduced. But with cheap and good coal, -competition coal-there would no longer be any excuse for keeping up the standard of freight at a point which is equally injurious to the steamers and to the public.-Friend of India. THE SHIP Sir George Pollock has been engaged for the conveyance of stores to Calcutta.
