(FROM A CORRISPONDENT.) Nothing is more characteristic of China than her customs. Her method of collecting internal revenue is certainly unique. It can hardly be called service, for it smacks too strongly of the style of the Individual, who says: "Your moter or your life. Each station, little and big, and every individual in these stations uses every means fair and otherwise to get hold of pubile trade. As an old woman put it la speak log of a certain article: "Tax #, Customs tax it Of course they did, why the Customs queers the very life out of ons." Stations are impor ant and unimportant and put on style accordingly. The Cartons that the wilter has in mind may most aptly be likened unto a carbuncle, red and all puffed up, inalde teeming with parasitic life, contact with which causes to ooze forth from every aperture a stream of living corruption, alike repulsive and painful to all.
The justice of Internal revenus collectors may be seen from fastances cited, one of which is the following. A few years ago a boatload of col was seat from Shangbai north of the river on the Grand Canal The boatman carried a pass from the Shanghal Total and met with no detention illl be reached the Hualkuan, the first big station on the Grami Canal after passing Yangchew.

Consequently all boatmen approach this place with a trembling heart. On this occasion the pas did not fulfil its mission and the boat was not allowed to move until the boatmen paid squeeze, just like any loaded boat without

There was general disappointment when was found that the Named had arrived without say European zasils, and, useless though it is known to be, the periodical bliter complaining about the irregularity of the delivery of our mails from year's end to year's end broke out. The mails of 3rd and roth March have been in Hongkong a week and there is no chance of our getting them for several days yet.
We have to report the failure of another plece goods man with abilites closeon $30,000. This is the second failure in this trade this year, attributable partly to the higher dollar price of the goods following the fall in exchange, which has checked consumption, and partly to the preference given of lale to Japanese goods. Both the material and the price of these latter labrics seem to sult the public taste.
The high price of cotton yarn has put a check en the manufacture of the new-make of native cloth. From the late price of $84 it has advanced to fod per bale, and many of the manufacturice have thought it prudent to close their dears at once, while others are continulug to work at a loss in the hope of either yarn decling before long, or buyers becoming content to pay the advance in pics for the manufactured article.
