Wyllie." About two months before the events referred to by Mr. Wyllie, H.E. Sir George Bonham, Governor of Hong Kong, visited Nanking in H.M.S. Hermes, his principal object being to make known both to Imperialists and rebels the strict neutrality which was, and would be observed towards them on the part of the representatives of Her Britannic Majesty, Queen Victoria. A report of this visit appeared in the North China Herald, in a letter dated 9th May, 1853, which reads thus : — "H.M.S. Hermes r...eturned to this port" (Shanghae) "on the 5 th instant, Sir G. Bonham having been in communication with many of the insurgent chiefs, both in the vicinity of Nanking and Chin- kiang-foo. Mr. Meadows was within the walls of the former city, and reports it in a state of ruin, while the whole of the district is filled with anarchy and confusion. Nanking is held by the rebel forces, who are strongly defending it ; they are also in possession of Chin-kiang ; and the whole line of the river between the two cities is in a very complete state of defence, and they are said to be awaiting the arrival" of reinforcements from the south, when they will proceed on their way to Peking.
