these two articles are principally con- sumed by Chincio immigrants, who swarm all over the country and form one half of the population of Bangkok.
Singapors, our great rival in the trade, as was to be expected from borgeo- graphical position, owes her overwhelan- ing supremacy to the two items of opium and Manchester goods, whicle in round numbors together amount to millions of dollars out of a total of $4,067,000. Fungkong imports into | Dangkuk amount to $1,001,480, in which there is not an ounce of opium, and but a couple of thousand pieces of miscellaneous piece goals, Our main articles of export consist of necessaries, luxuries, and articles of devotion, in use both by Siamese and Chinesa, such as curthenware ($162,387) gold-leaf (6460,000), joss-paper and joss-sticks (975,008,) and so on.
In exports from Bangkok, Singapore likewise bears the palm in staples: her rine transactions amanting $3,421,811 as against 81,886,465 on the part of Hongkong.In the other articles of export Hongkong all bat holda her uwa, Singapor's being $1,500,000 to Hongkong's $,483,572,

give an aggregate of 51 millions as the value of the trade both ways.
Our latest monthly returns viz, to the 90th of June hist, give the exports to Hongkong as $300,349 and $306,516 to Singapore, inclusive of rice.
