Here the land Journey from Ichang, by river and road, may be accomplished in about ten weeks including stoppages. The bulk of foreign goods raw sald in Yunnan, pass by this route, as the duties, though heavy, are still lighter than on all the other routes, and there is less danger of being robbed or rqueezed by mnarauders.
The third roule, is the Yungning Hrunan Wei route. Thatend of going up as far as Shui Fu we turn up a small river called the Yangning Ho. The first city we reach in Yunnan province is the subprefectural seat Hsuan Weichou,

As expected, he offers no apology, but takes advan- tage of the legal quibble, as to the Arrow's right to fly our cluas; but he luckily misses the strong point that her registry was not senewed on the 27th of September last, as it Eave been.

The fourth or Klang Hung Seũ Moo route, was proposed by Captain Sprye many years ago, as being sullable for the building of a railroad from Bataia to Yuntion, and it is no doubt the likeliest to prove prostable as a railroad speculation. The British Indian Government may now encourage the building of a railway through any part of Berma up to the Chinese frontler, and that line is said to be by far the easiest yet found, England cannot, of course, bulld railroads in Chias, but she can do s in Burma, and the
maunfactures as near as possible to the distribut. ing markets at reasonable prices.
The filth or Bhamo Teng-yweb route has often been spoken of as the most promising route for the development, of British trade with Yunnan, and it no doubt possesses certain advantages which raust not be lost sight of, Fine river steamers ascend the Irrawaddi River as far up as Thamo, and it would not be a very difficule matter to build a railway from Bhamo across the Kachren Hills to Manyia on the Chinese frontier side of those hills, but the will Kachyens are troublesome people. They must be tamed, and given, or found, a suitable mans of livelihood, otherwise they will always prove a nuisance and terror, as they have been for ages, to all traders pasting through their This road lying as it does across three large rivers and six ranges of high mountains, la far from moving an en y one to railway makers across the province of Yunnan.
The sixth route is the Paise-Kuangnan roule, Travellers on this route leaving Canten in a junk may come tip the West River to Wuchou Fu. Kuanesi Province, in about eight days, at all seasons of the year, and, thence passing Nanning Fu reach Paisė Ting Lat. 24 deg. N., Long, 1-6 deg 20′ E., in one month or six weeks, according to the state of the, river current, which it sometimes very swift.
Paise Ting is the centre of a considerable amount of trade in foreign and other goods, from Canton with Kucichow and Yunnan, favourably situated, as it is, at the bead of navigation for Junks on the West River. There are two trade roues leading thence to Yunnan Fu. It is the first of these that I call the sixth route, or the Pal Kuangnan route.
The seventh route is the Paire Hsing-yi route., This other route from Paisé Ting to Yunnan Fe, passes through the prefectural city of Haingyi Fu. Lat 25 deg. 15 N. Long. 106 deg. E., in Kueichow Province. It is the route usually followed by officials going from Kuangtung and Keangst to Yunnan, and has the advantage of being somewhat easier than the other. It will not pay however to send merchandise by this route, as duty must be paid on such, whilst passing through Kuzichow.
The eighth, or Pakhoi Kathus roate, is a long and tedious rooie entirely overland along the frontiers of Tongking, and around by the pre- fectural city of Kaihua Fu, Lat. 23 deg, to N. Lang. 104 deg. 50! E., Yunnan province, and on to the provincial capital. It is a journey or fifty-two days.
The ninth or Lackal Manhao route is now the shortest of all land routes to the capital of Yunnan, from the surrounding countries. Strange to say, the Chinese Government abandoned this important trade route to the tender mercles of the Black Flag Gillbusters for years, without attempting to improve it or even to protect Its own enterprising merchants, whe, from time to time of late years, have attempted to trade thereon with the neighbouring states in that region. All other routes; from the highest point of navigation, to Yannab Fú, are langer by half. and no better off in point of convenience and merchandise. China has lost a favourable op portunity to benefit her people in Yunnan, and It is now too late to repair the fault, by which The tenth route, the Assam Weihai route, i one by which Yunnan may be reached from the British possessions in Assam, and which might be opened up to trade for the mutual benefit of all parties concerned.

The coat for transport or conveyance of goods and travellers is about the same on all the mutes: that is, pack animals are usually paid three mace of silver for each stage, and coolies two mace for the same stages. Each animal carries about 160lbs. English, divided into two parcels of equal weight. The coolies carry half that weight, also made up into two parcels, Heavier parcels may, however, be carried by two or more coolies in litters like sedan chairs, but the walght carried by each coolie, in such cases, is about twenty per cent. irs than in the former case.
The cost of carriage is thus very high indeed, so that it behoves all governments and people Interested to the expansion of trade with Yunnan, to do all they possibly can to lay down their merchandise as near as possible to the various centres of consumption, at the lowest possible prices consistent with profitable undertaking.
The Chinese Government will not do anything for the Improvement of the wretched condition of Yunnan, That distant province has in fact been, constant drain on the resources of the Empire for ages, and is likely to continue so

Further, if there is one fact more glaring than another in this respect, it is that Canton from the beginning of the contest was completely at the mercy of the by no means large French squadron. Likewise the stoppage of the grain trade north of the Yangtze was feasible from the commencement and would speedily have brought the "great military nation" according to our "only general," to the performance of the "kow tow," at which they are such proficients, before the gallant Courbet on the quarter deck of the Bayard. Even's more effective blockade of Formosa would have made that island succumb had such a course by Military or naval tactics been considered advisable.
