we cannot help remarking in paring, how profitable the trade must have been up to four years ago, for after this loss, which averages over 1000 dollars per hous, many of them are reported to be still possessed of con siderable wealth. It goes to prove how large the profits must have been in previous years, and how much cheaper tea can be produced iban is generally thought To continue, how ever, the reported account of what took place at the meeting, the mafolly expressed thele opinion that the trade was no longer worth following. The risk was too great; the demand had fallen off and prices bad declined to an gaprecedentedly low figure. What was more they appeared to one of the speakers to be still on the decline, and it was apparent that there is no safe basis on which to base their oper- allons. There was- general expression of want of confidence in the future of the trade, and In the end only 6o out of the 180 houten | decided to continue to risk their capital in it.
We have no means of checking the accuracy of the report of the meeting, but we have rufficient confidence in the source whence It is derived to believe that it is sub tantially correct. and therefore we have no besitation in publishing it for the information of our mader. It is matter of surprise that such meeting should have taken place. The continuous fall in prices this season, following a corresponding course of the market last season, was enough to create alarm in the hearts of the most phlegmatic of the teamen, and at last it seems to have aroused them to the necessity of king combined 'action for the protection of their interests. According to the report of the meeting as it reaches us, two thirds of the houses trading in this locality, Foke-Onn, ste sething from the bustnere altogether. The first effect of this will be reduced competition smongst the up-cuntry buyers, and, as there is as reason to suppose the yield will be less than last year, these buyers by combining will have if all there own way, and they will be able to buy, cheaper than they have ever done before. The question then mixer, how far foreign merchants will benefit by this? If patience is only exercised. of course they will ap the full av intege of it and it is to be hoped, for the future well-doing of the part, that they will stand out, and not be tempted to pay higher prices than is shaolutely necessary, even for fancy "chops." In this way the furtunes of the trade may yet change.-Echo

During another examination of the alleged Kolan member Chên Chi-honi, the other day on account-o-his-obstinacy-in-not confessing, the prisoner was again tortured by being stretched on a bare pole. The strain was so great that Cléa fainted under the ordeal. He was restored to his senses by sprinklings of cold water, but be still made no incriminating statement. While he was being taken to prison, the court told him to write to his wife requesting her to come and take he me his son, who was captured and who has since remained with the prisoner.

From a native who professes to be well informed on the subject, we learn that there are no fewer than 1860 oplum dens in the province, and that, the number of them is gradually but surely increasing. Duting ke prosperous times, the sons of the well-to-do indulged in the vice, and now that they have houses of their own, one of the apartments is fitted up as an opiuni smoking room, and they invite their friends to come and smoke a'pipe with them, In this the habit has extended amongst this particular class. But the greatest increase, our lafermant sister, is among "the artisans and others in regular employment, who live on a minimum of food and spend what should provide them with a proper amount of nourishment, at the opium dens. This is con- Srmed from other sources of information, with the addition that theic who do not go from bad to worse are quite the exception.

January 30th. This manth has been remarkable on account of the bright, clear and dry weather, which has continued from the first day to the next to the last with hardly an exception. Indeed there is great need of a good rain or snow, and the people are specially anxious to have a fall of snow befare spring, as winter snow is considered pro- pitious and pring snow unprepitious. There has been a good deal of sickness in the form of influenza, colds, etc., and it is believed that a good snow would tend greatly to relieve us of these maladies.

About three years ago robbers entered a store to the village of Yingislangkang, near Woosung, and stole sundry. bales of cloth, dollars, aycee and clothing.

the matter to the Viceroy. In the mean- time the Consuls have reported the matter' to Peking. What action the Viceroy will take is not yet down, but from what he has already done that we know of, le is pretty certain that there need be ne dass expected from him. The rods above mentioned were destined for Say Ling Hsies in the Prefecture of Tung Choas, which lies to the north-east of Cheatov, and is reached, from Chungking by boat up the small river, There is not, not never was, any lekits coliccted there on goods that paid the lila tax en roufs and there are only two barriers between Chungking and that place, as above stated.—one near Chungking and ske ulur at Ho Chou. The amunts collected and one thousand card at the "first, and one thousand Bix be idred at the ascond, per bale, being somewhat in excess of the half- duty, so that it would be a little cheaper to use, the transit pass, and also more convenient, as money would not have to be sent along with the goods to pay the lekin. What has the Viceroy done in the maller? That is à question easily answered. He has taken prompt steps, in prevent people from availing themselves of that regulation in future and has entirely done away -with-it, and-allows--no-i-alf-measures-about-lt, He Immediately despatched an officialto Suy Lin and opened a new office for the sole purpose of | collecting what they chose to term Žoti lekin on goods that arrived under transit pass, which hid already paid a transit duty of two and a hall per cent The yount fixed by the Viceroy is three per cent. Lott lekin is more than the toil amount the goods would have to pay if they took out no transit pase. Now, if a merchant wants to use the transit pass in will cost him a tle more than double what it would to pay the Irbin. From theregoing it is ciest. enough that the Viceroy does not intend to allow the transit pass system to work in this province. it is well though, ki own to everyone, who bas given the matter any consideration that the transit half-duty was invented to cwer all duzs and taxes. leviable on foreign imports, but the Ministers in the simplicity all-wed the Chinese offical to set up chim to aller what they term Lote say or lekin, ap. 1-6 0,eptional with thim how they to caer under that designation; as in this case the Lole is actually more than the total amout of lekin collected on the go 's if no pas. were taken out, and that tun in pice wher ine e was no ietin call- et previous to the np ning of Chungking.
