An Englishman, had - ho beon so treated, would iinye half killed hi? assailants and taken his chance of aftor'pumshment. The Chinaman, howoyer,bore everything meekly, and his look of resignation seemed : to imply that the stylo /of behaviour .that bo was then treated to was what only could be expected from an uncivilised raco such as he had the misfortune to live among. This is a solitary example of an oft recurring injury done to those mon, one as •unwarrantable as it is cowardly.
