from various sourcesand of various standards. The Government of Hongkong, in conjune-Pressure, with Extra SURFACE CONDENSER tion with the High Officers of Canton, have and TUBULAR BOILER, issued notices ordering Chiness to receive the American and the Mexican dollars in pay- ment for goods irrespective of weight; they are accordingly used here without any dith culty, but the Chinese Merchants of other Torts come here, and they will only pay for their goude in dollars at current rate, or by weight. We sometimes offer dollars, in payment of business transacted, to foreign Jirms, but although good, they are declined. Traders from other parts are kept away from doing business in the Colony on this account; hence the great dulness of trade at present. With a proper system we feel confident the trade, which is daily dwindling down, will speedily revive. We ask you, Gentlemen, to consider the matter and call a meeting to deviso some settlement of this question, whereby both Foreiga and Chinese Merchants will be on the same footing. Dollars of all descriptions, unless spurious, can be used here, it by weight; it does not matter if they are old or new to us; "weight" seems the fairest and simplest plan. We tion. beg, Gentlemen, to ask your advice on the matter, and ask you to settle this question at unce and for good, and offer you every assistance we van give you "en our part in discussing the matter as publicly possible.
