The question of the obstraction of trade under transit passes by the Chinese authorities in Southern Chine, which box so often been before the Chamber, was this year invested with a fresh interest through the direct and andis- guised action of the mandarins in interforing with the legitimato sale of geeds, the property of Mr. John Andrew, a British subject, and which were forwarded from Canton to Wuchow ouder transit passes, regularly obtained and in complete accordance with trinty rights. The elrondistanco attending this obstruction to tride are fully desuribed in the annexed correspondence, and the action of the Incal subhorities at Wnchor seams to afford posi tisia proof of their ulter. disregard of transib Lusses which has been heretofore always sh citi cult to substantiate.
