The commencement of this undertaking, no doubt, promises to be clumsy, and more fruitful in boasts than in results; but its promoters have the common-sense to perceive that, for three years, at any rate, they must work under English tutelage. But they threaten an- other innovation. They will cease, as soon as possible, they declare, from purchasing the raw material abroad, and rely upou indigenous growthe rather than upon importe from Bombay. All this exhibits a tendency to bring the whole product, from the seed- pod to the perfected fabrio, within the command of their own hands, and, once set in motion, it can hardly be doubted the spirit of this enterprise will spread. Of course the economical and fiscal notions of the Chinese in connection with their latest industrial ambition are of the crudest; but a new Bab bullad they are a people who, if they have been sometimes slow to learn from others, have usually been beyond measure quick in profiting by their own experience.
