the adoption of the suggestion of Mr the Ney Elias,-yiz, to tap that trade by means of the Bea routs. The great rivers of China, notably the Yangtse, which leads into the rich and prosperons province of Szechuan-supply a permanent highway, beyond the influence of the suspicious priests of Thibet, The deve lopment rendered possible by opening up and cultivating this waterway of 1600 miles is inculcalable. Specially constructed steamers could pass up and down the rapids, if 120-ton junks (as is alleged) have done so, as far as Swifoo. The article concludes," Moreover, the question of extending our commerce up the great rivers is one that concerns the English community of China, very To succeed would infallibly mean an improvement in the prospects nearly. of that China trade, over which mer ohants have during the last few years been lamenting so greatly; and the benefits the Chinese would derive from it are so apparent that they would be certain to commend themselves to their understanding. If Western China is to be speedily opened up to us it is rather from the east than the west that that object can be accomplished. It lies with the English community in China to take the matter in hand'; but the opportunity consists in availing themselves of the interval that must ensue before land communications have been established On the 7th October, Mre J, R.
