"THE COMMERCIAL MISSION TO GRIKA. On Saturday (August aand) the members of the mission to China, orgnaled by the Black- burn Chamber of Commerce in the interests of the Lancu bir taxılla irader, left Liverpool by the Etruria. The leader of the mission, Mr. Bourne, Her Majesty's Vice-Conzal at Canton, and the experis, Mr. Nevile sad Mr. Bell, received hourly wishes for a pleasant voyage, cu embarking, from the representatives of the Chamber of Commerce and other societies who Hava Risisted in the enterprise. On reaching Vanencver the party alll sail to Shanghai by the Embrass of Chins, in which vessel stain rooms have been engaged for Li Hung-chant. The expedition is well equipped for penetrating to the south-west interior, where it is believed considerable trade development is possible,
THE CHINA STATION.
The Aurora cruiser, now at Devonport, will, when ready for ses, be commissioned for service on the China Station as a selesad to the Forpolie, | cruiser, Commander F R. Pelly. This is the substitution of a first-class for third-class cruiser, and will therefore be an accession of
strength to the squadron.
FOREIGN COMPETITION IN THE COLONIES. It will be remembered that in the des patch forwarded by Mr. Chamberlain, lart November, to all the Colonial Governors, on the subject of tude between the United Kingdom and the Colobles, prominence was given to a request for patterns or specimens of goods of foreign origin which have displaced, or are displacing, similar Belifth goods. The daly of housing and distributing these was under taken by the London Chamber of Commerce, and that body in commencing, to receive the collections of samples. By arrangement with the Secretary of State for the Colonies, there samples are to be exhibited in the city as they arrive, but their ultimate circolation throughout the country is to be deferred until a majority of the replies to the despatch bas been received.
·LI AT "THE EMPIRE,”
The night before he left England. Li Hong chang went to the Empire Music Hall. This L the Pall Mall. Gazsite's hemorous account of the farewell between the Manager of the hill and his distinguished guest. Before he went away, His Excellency sent for Mr. Hitchens and said that in the whole course of his long life he had never enjoyed himteli so much, that he had been more than charmed and more than delighted, that 10 the end of his 'days he should. carry with him the memory of that gorgeous evening, which bad opened his eyes as asthing had ever opened them before to the advantages of Western civilization, so that he would go away a wiser and, he bored, a better man than he came. To this Mr. Hitchens, who le a famouE Orientalist, bowed according to the ceremonial fashion of the Court of Peking and astonished the Viceroy by replying in fluent and choice Chinese. Li went on to explain that he was an old man, and that he had to get up early in the morning to catch his train, so that much as he would have liked to stay to the end he felt it would be more prudent to go home early. And so, us soon as the ballet of "Faust" was over," his Excellency went away to Carlton House-terrace, But most of ble avlte stayed.
THE RULE OF THE HOAD AT KEA:
The Liverpool Shipowners Association and Chamber of Shipping of the United Kingdom have addressed a protest to the Board at Trade against the wow cogniations for preventing col listons at sea. The association, which claim to represent nine-tenths of the tonnage owned Great Britala, is nucnimously of the oplaton that the new sound fog-signals are unreliable and extremely dangerous, and, if adopted, will result in deplorable disaster. Finally, they insist that, if the Board of Trade are intent on bring. ing the new signals fato effect, no Order in Council should be adopted till all the Powers who are parties to the present international regulations bave agreed to their Introduction.
THE TARIFF QUESTION.
ANOTHER. PHASE OF THE PROPOSED INCREAKE.
Forchow, September 19th,
It is nine years since any move was made to get the export duty on les reduced. Taroleg to the correspondence on the subject which took place then, we find the letters of the Chalıman of car Chamber of Commerce addressed to all the Foreign Consuls and to the Commissioner of Curtems. We extract the following from his letter, dated 3rd November, 1887, to the Commis slonts of Castoms: The export duty amounts to Tas Halkwan sycen per picul, that is T. 275 currency, which, together with Ilkin and other small taxes (say T. 1.7.5), gives a total taxation 61 T. 4.50 per pleul," And this he states in another paragraph of the same letter shows the exorbitant ir of 31 per cent on the average cost of congon. The next extract we make is from the chairman's letter to the Foreign Consuls, The export duty was originally fixed by the Treaty of Tleatsin, August 29th, 1843 (Article to), and by the Treaty of Tenisin, 26th Jane, 1858, (Article 26) ai T. aj per picul, which was to represent the rate of 5 per cent ad valorem, Nothing, as we all know, came of the move. By the recommendation of the Tarpector-General of of Customs the Chinese Government declined to make any reduction.

And now let us enquire what the Calaese have done for themselves beyond pocketing dailes, so much in excess of Treaty rights, over this period of nine years. We refer to our wtatistics and find that for the season in which bar appeal was made (we confine ourselves to those of our own port) the total export was 99,087,467 lbs., whereas last season it was 81,690,747 lbs, and this season will be consider. ably less! But it is not alone their driving the trade out of the country and in the
end getting no duites 't, but the of a once flourishing Industry that brought riches into this provincs and gave employment to so many thousands of the population. We cannot help thinking how different the position of the case would have bem had the suggestion of our Chamber of Commerce nine years ago been acted on, namely, to reduce the duty to T. 1 per pical. The facts provide a splendid Winstration of killing the goose that laid the golden eggs.
