  Next morning, though the storm continued unabated, we set out in the longboat with five men without an officer, to ascend the river to Shanghae. Scarce a boat was moving upon the river, and none from the many junks appeared to observe us, so that we had a clear river and none to oppose our passage. The Woosung is a noble stream, maintaining a very uniform breadth of half a mile or more, and a depth from eight to three fathoms. […] The native shipping of Canton in the height of the season never amounts to half of that which was now lying at Shanghae.

  From the great Ladrone island, at the entrance of the inner seas, to Kumsing Moon, there are all along various naval stations ; and to bring in foreign vessels there are pilots appointed ; so that it cannot be a difficult thing to keep a constant watch upon the ships. And even though from Fuhkeën and Chěkeäng, from the ports of Shanghae and Teëntsin , vessels should repair directly to the receiving ships to trade with them ; yet, situated as their anchorage is, in the inner seas, what is there to prevent such vessels from being observed and seized?

  Before leaving Nankin, the Imperial Commissioners gave a grand entertainment to a great many officers of the Navy and Army, during which professions of the most friendly feelings on both sides were not wanting ; and we learn that whenever English officers went on shore the people behaved very peaceably. Shanghae has been visited by several of them, and all speak in the highest terms of the beauty of its situation, and of the advantages it is likely to offer as a place of trade. The Chinese themselves seem to anticipate the future intercourse with foreigners, and the profits they are likely to derive therefrom, with considerable satisfaction ; and behave, mandarins as well as common people, with great politeness towards their visitors.

  The difficulty, then, was to obtain for our country, whilst remaining at peace, the same commercial advantages which England and France might acquire by war. This task our Minister performed with tact, ability, and success, by the conclusion of the treaty of Tientsin of the 18th June, 1858, and the two supplemental conventions of Shanghae of the 8th November following.* These have placed our commercial relations with China on the same satisfactory footing with those of England and France, and have resulted in the actual payment of the full amount of all the just claims of our citizens, leaving a surplus to the credit of the Treasury. This object has been accomplished, whilst our friendly relations with the Chinese Government were never for a moment interrupted, but on the contrary have been greatly strengthened.

  So lately as 1858, when direct communication between Shanghae and Hankow had been more or less interrupted by the presence of the Taeping insurgents in the valley of the Great River for upwards of five years, Lord Elgin found British imports selling in Hankow at rates that by no means bore out the statements of the Chinese at Shanghai regarding the onerousness of the transit duties. […] Whatever the truth, however, all trade suffered severely ; and in 1858, the inland charges upon tea coming from Hankow to Shanghae amounted, according to the native brokers, to nearly cent per cent upon its value: in some ten years they had about trebled themselves.

  The real stock first reached this country in 1847, Mr. Moody, in Hampshire, and Mr. Alfred Sturgeon, of Gray's, Essex, both receiving stock in that year. Mr. Moody's, so far as we can learn, were inferior in character and leg-feather to Mr. Sturgeon's, but were very large and of the same broad type ; and all alike came from the port of Shanghae or its neighbourhood. The birds were undoubtedly Shanghaes, and had never been near Cochin China ; and for years attempts were made to put this matter straight.
