visited it in 1858 speaks of the desolation of the city in the following terms:- found it to the last degree deplorable. A single dilapidated street, composed only of a few mean shops, was all that existed of this once thriving and populous city; the remainder of the vast area comprised within its walls, five or six miles in circumference, contained nothing but ruins, weeds, and kitchen gardens." When the foreign settle. ment was established there, however, the population soon returned, and it has con- tinued to increase rapidly; it is now estimated at 53,000.
The city is built close to the river, the walls running along the banks of it for some 500 yards. Their circumference is about five miles, but a considerable portion of the space enclosed is not occupied. The city contains no features of interest. There are several large lakes to the north and west of it, and beyond the principal suburb lies the foreign settlement. On the opening of the port considerable trouble
was experienced in securing the land on which to build the foreign residences, the Chinese demanding extortionate prices for it. Indeed, so bitter was the opposition manifested that before the ground could be cleared some of the native houses had to be forcibly demolished.
The idea which led to the opening of Kiukiang was, no doubt, its situation as regards communication by water with the districts where the Green Tea is produced. But the hopes entertained respecting Kiukiang have never been realised. The total quantity of Tea exported in 1882 was 326,021 piculs, of which 33,001 piculs were Green, the export for 1831 being 274,084 piculs. Opium was imported to the extent of 1,662 pieuls in 1892, and 2,075 piculs in 1881. Kiukiang is the port from whence the ware made at the far-famed porcelain factories at Kin-tê-chen is shipped In 1882 only 18,600 piculs of this ware was exported. The total value of the trade of the port for 1882 was Tls. 12,375,008, and for 1881, Tls. 12,130,907.

KIUKIANG.
Kiukiang is situated on the river Tangtsze, near the outlet of the Poyang Lake, and is a prefectural city of the province of Kiang-si. It is distant about 137 geographical miles from Hankow and 445 miles from Shanghai. Kiukiang was at one time a busy and populous city; but it was occupied by the Taiping rebels in 1853, and before it was given up to the Imperial troops it was utterly destroyed, presenting one of those melancholy spectacles which these hordes o usurpers so often left behind them.
