THE EXTENSION OF THE AUSTRIAN LLOYD SERVICE TO SINGAPORE,

(From a Correspondent.) The new treaty concluded by the Austrian Government with the Lloyd Company, with the view of extending the intercourse of our commercial metropolis to Caloutta, Singa pore, and eventually Hong Kong, owes its importance to several particular reasons, among which the novelty of the enterprise in Austria ranks first. Some introductory remarks as the precedents and the probable effects of the Treaty will, I think, be necessary for foreign readers.

VESSELS TO ARRIVE, AT HƠNGHONG

A silver coinage has become of the first importance for the people of China, and we hear the Marquis Li has been discussing the subject, and has even approved of a design for a coin presented to him for Inspection. Still this is only a remour, and we do not know whether it has been sanationed or whether the matter has only roached the stage of discussion. We call attention to this subject, At present new copper cannot be got, as the cost of carriage and the want of labour and capital are not adequate to work the mines of Yunnan. Since the closing of the provincial mints no new cash are issued, the old cash de- crease daily, and small mixed cash are then used. This is prohibited, but the fall in the value of cash and the depreciation of silver cause great losses to the people, so that sanded and thin worn-down cash compose half of overy string. This causes great loss to buyers and sollers in the markets, whilat coiners amass great profita. Both these results are to be deprecated, and since cash are being disused, better far would it be to bring into usa vacions silver The Chaman then said-This is the coins, and save the people from being first meeting, gentlemen, of the Company wholly dependent on cash.
