The New Telegraph

CONVENTION, 8th Sept. We understand that Mr. Byron Brenan, British Consul at Tientsin, has protested to the Viceroy there against the ratification of the new Telegraph Convention, and itis much to be regretted that, as far as we are informed, the Chamber. of Commerce here has taken no action, It is of groat importance at least to gain time for the new Convention to be considered by the European governments and Chambers of Commerce.. As we have.already mentioned, the Viceroy Li is not particularly anxious himself to see the Convention ratified, and anything that would confirm him in his opposition to it, or induce him to postpone the fatal step, would be well done.

other foreign Ministers at Peking should be asked by their. merchants lore to protest: against the ratification as we understand that SirJohn Walsham has at last done, and. the London Chamber of Commerce and the China Association should be appealed: to for their assistance. It is not yet too late,; but.the Treaty will be ratified, it is to be feared, if all the energy is left to those whose interest it is to have it ratified, and those who will. be condemned by. it for ten years to a $2 rate full or too empty brush add to the effect in the eyes of the connoisseur.
