China Mail being indigestible, the repre- sentatives of H. F. Majesty are bent on trying a more easily "chawed-up" article, and are therefore gallantly pitch- ing into the little Independents. How true it is that every cock crows the most boldly on its own dangbill.
We receive from the North: a confirme tion of the news that next year several new Posts will be opened, Nganking en the Yangtze, Wenchow, north of Amoy, and Lienchow on the next coast of the Cauton provines are reported on indis- putable authority to, be certainly opened to Foreign trade, in the fall of 1869 or the spring of 1870. The favourite project of the Canton anthorities, the fostering of trade with Hainan by vessels entering, clearing, and reporting at the Canten Customs, is now definitely injected. Ha k'ou will be thrown open and the port upon the peninsula will doubtless give an impetus to the sale of opium and piece goods which cannot fail to be beneficial to the colony of Hongkong. All visitors to Hainan have been struck by the mu bere of the Hongkong registered junks which are always found in harbour there, and the profitable trade which has hither to been monopolized by Canton firms. would, if the port were opened, be shared by the merchants of Hongkong.
