HONGKONG, WEDNESDAY, OCT. 28, 1869.
We are informed on good authority that the number of open ports is shortly to he increased. Wanchow, and also one or more places on the Yangtze below Han- kow, are named as the porta to which the foreign trader will be admitted. It will be remarked that Hankow is to re
in the Ultima Thule it is now, for the present at any rate. Whether this con- cession, as we appose it must be called, will prove beneficial to foreign trade, is a question which time will decide. That is a matter upon which, we dare say, there will be a variety of opinions, Some people say there are too many "open ports" already
Others desire to see
every town in China that is accessible by water, either on the coast or on the in- land rivers of the country, thrown open to general commerce as fully and freely. as are the parts of the United Kingdom But whatever difference of opinion there may be as to the cotamercial value of new ports in China, it is satisfactory to find that the Yangchow outrage is not universally regarded by the Chinese au- thorities as a precedent for the treatment of foreigners. It may be that the new ports are to be granted as a sort of indi- rect atonement for thst afhir; but what- ever may be the motive of the Chinese, reparation for that offence should be an forged promptly, and exacted from the persons who were actually responsible for it. However, the new ports may be welcomed as a good political sign, afford-
