The projectors, basing their estimates upon the most reliable information from the various Ports in Chine and Japaui, — from Australia, California, Singapore, Penang, Salgon, and other places frequented the Chinese,consider themselves Tudied luuaranteeing an ultimate, po Boat of 600 sirculation of between 3,000 and 1,000 copies. The advantages offered to adver- tisor are therefore unusually great, and the foreign community generally will find it to their interent to avail themselves of them.
