There is apparently no means of discovering where all these goods originally cause from, and so Hongkong gets credit to which she is not justly entitled. But even so, we may take it that a large proportion of the goods, which helped to swell the aggre gate value of the imports came in the first instance from the United Kingdom or the Colonies. Great Britain is the largest ex porter of goods to China, the value recorded for last year being considerably over 86 million taels as compared with 57 mil lions in 1994. But the Boited States is a close serend with over 76 million tacks' worth of goods sold to China, as con trasted with a paltry 29 millions in the pre- vious year.

A REFUTATION. Your contemporary, the S. C.

Further comment is unnecessary. A few other maccuracies in the Posé's account of the 17th instant are to be deplored. In the first place Mr. Eadie did not lose 75 lbs. in weight in consequence of the attack on him at Teng-an, That he did lose weigh there is no gainsaying, but nothing like what the Post mentions Any of Mr. Endie's friends will vouch that, he never sided 75 lbs. in addition to his present weight even in the best of health.
