This question of a "decided loss," as far as Hongkong is concerned, can be narrowed to a very small point. Do the Chinese Traders when buying goods make allowance for the premium on chopped dollars, in the same way an other traders all over the world make allowances, or do they not make this allowance?

We must content ourselves now by extracting the following calm, fair, and, we believe, unanswerable summing up of the case as regards the character of the traffic, and our national responsibility for it reserving for a future issue some notice of Mr Fowler's view of the question on its

The charges for advertisements are now assimilated to those of the China Mail. "THE CHINA REVIEW," The unusual success which has attended the Chinese Mail makes it an admirable medium for advertisers.
The Conductors guarantee an eventual circulation of one thousand coplex. It is already the most infiuential native journal published, and enjoys considerable prestige at the Ports of China and Japan, and at Singapore, Penang, Calcutta, San Frands oo and Australia.
