Tis. 1,000,000. In his opinion the valus. tion of the import and export trade of Pakhoi may, without exaggeration, be stated to be actually not less than. The 2,000,000 a year.
As to the population of Pakhoi, one of the staff of the Commissioner counted in all 1,639 houses, which probably aheltered a population of about 12,000.. The Commissioner speaks very highly of the water approaches to the port. There is, he believes, no port on the coast of China more easily approached and entered than that of Pakhoi. The land- marks are conspicuous, and unmistakable. The channel is wide and deep, and has no hidden danger to be avoided Ingress being easy and safo, it may be assumed and egress to and from the anchorage that steamers large and small will have no difficulty about going to Pakhoi as soon as it pleases commerce to demand them.
