There are a few other clauses in the old form of bill of lading so inanifestly prejudicial to the abipper, that the wonder is not so match that shippere should bare submitted to them so long but that the ship-owner aknald have had the courage Lugİnseft, vr-the business praltion or monopoly of trade to anfcres theid.

'THE NEW STEAMERS ON THE YANGTEZD
The conditions of the orrying trade on the Yaustes are likely, to be altered during the ananing few souths. For uia yenie, now, sicos the Shanghai Storm Navigation Company bought up the serious private steamers woich wer ronning on the river, that Company bas bad only to encanater the rivalry of the Union team_Navigation Company, with which it has worked on an miouble understanding. The little steamer Hanyang bus been plying during the past twelve months; but her small toomge renders her petition inappreciable to täs giunt monopoly,
The large earnings of the Shangbai Steam Navigation Company, however, have attracted the attention of the managers of the Ocon Starship Company, which is running the
Homerio line of vessel in fortnightly ri valry with the mail steacra, between China and England; and Mr. Holt baa gut up, a new · Company, called the "Chinese Navigation Campany," to contest with the S. 8. N, th monopoly of the River. The new Company bie began by buying the atomers and i Mercat of the Union Steam Navigation Com. pany, whiob ceuses from the 1st of April to vue on the Yangtze; and it is nuderstood that tưở other steamers, bailt especially for las trade, are on their way out from England. It hud Teen originally intended to wied up the U. 9. N. Company altogether on that date; bat the determination was abandoned at a meeting bold on Monday last, when a resolation was come to, to buy thres new steamers fitted for the éost trade, which would ran in conjunction with the new Chinese Navigation Company, and so establish through sommnnication be Tcen Hankow and the coat porta to Centou: Bendes all this, the success of the Hanyang has encouraged the owners of another small steamer, the Tungfing, to alter and adapt her for the tiver trade, and she has commenced running at the same rates of freight ma the Hanyony
