MR. WHITEsaid, he would beg to ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he is in possession of any further information relative to proceedings in China which would encourage the hope of such a satisfactory result as is referred to by Lord Elgin in his address to the merchants of Shanghai?
THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUERsaid, that the latest accounts received front China were of a satisfactory character; and, if they did not tend to encourage a hope of the immediate conclusion of difficulties, justified him in believing that increased activity in that quarter would lead to the result which the hon. Gentleman desired.
