CANTON, 3IRI March, 1858. On the 8th Instant it afforded me infine pleasure to be in a posilloɑ tɔ report, under the head-line "Good Newa for Merchants," that I obtained 'a copy el coma and very much uselad Rules under which business in imports could at once be cariled on in the faterior of China.

He Htrusted the publication of the Rules would lead to expansion of trade, an increase ofthe Custom revenge and much benefit to the provincial officials by minimising the risks of heavy claims being lodged with them en scenast of the deten. ton of foreigners' goods covered by Transl Paries while in transitu for an foland market. He was of opinion that the new Rules were
framed in a manner that insured full protection of the Revenue and must result in benefit to merchants generally."
I then proceeded to give the new rules, as fol. town:-
I-Certlicated imported goods going from a Treaty Port to any inland place duly specified shall be free after payment of a ball duty for Transit Pase from further taxation of any klad. Three entries, but only Hredman and Ketlicated are sold while a routs to a stated des. III-If the entire quantity of goods duly cer- started the latter having a walk over.

AN EXTRAORDINARY SCENE IN PARIS.
The Pall Mall Gassità't Paris Correspondent writes, on February 17th --

The Importance and value to merchants of the new Rules can hardly be exaggerated. They remove once and for eves a great hindrance to the development of trade lu iba vast and populous southern provinces, and the Costoms revenus, the native consumer, and the foreign and nitive merchants will'undoubtedly be greatly benefited thereby, provided the foreign Contuls, backed up by their respective Mialstars in Peking, ree to ft that the Rules are strictly observed by the provincial authorites. Any breach of the Rules by the mandarinate, should be met by swift and sov:vo punishment. If the Chinese provincial oficiais see in their new Rules a dimination of their own ill-gotten gains they must fall back on- the Central Government for compensation, if any bedue to them. They must no longer be permit. ted to laterfere with foreigners' trade as carried an under Transit Paver
