complete pauper were it not for the famous Wuchsa customs, which effectually three- tle all the trade with Hongkong and Canton, and which it should be our first
car to get abolished.' Hongkong would be all the better of the persistent advocacy
of writers of the standing of Mr Parker. Thore cannot be the slightest doubt that the opening of the West River, which implies, 2.88 ...2.73 practically, the whole of South-west China, would prove of incalculable henefit to this Colony, and that it would lead to immense development in the foreign trade of China. Rus when we have superadded to exchangs dificities, the hindrances to internal transit in China, the poverty of the people, dus in a measure to the rapacity of the oficials and partially to the isolation of their cities from wealthier districts, and the illegal uxnations levied by the man darins on all goods passing under their notics, it is hopeless to look for any great expansion of trade.
