It is rumoured that the steamer Hankow, belonging to the China Nav, Co.'s fleet, shortly expected from the north, will be put on the Hongkong and Canton line to run in conjuretion with the steamer Ichung. If this can be taken as a criterion of the briskness of river traffic, we hail with pleasure the appearance of noble Hankow, and may all
