In addition to this they have personal in- torests in maintaining matters in their old form, ne under it they are enabled to make fat profits and to exercise great power! It is against this opposition on the part of the official classes which we have to contor, wore than against any very strong prejudices on the part of the Chinese people. No doubt the large masses, who, through the prosant policy of exclusiveness, are kept in complete ignoranco with regard to foreigners and foreign mattors, havo very wrong ideas with respect to them, but there is suficient in our interesume with the nativos of China up to tle prezcat time, to show that, if fair apports uities are given them of intercourse with foreigners und of obtaining a knowledge of fareiga appliances, they are perfectly willing beth to establish commercial relations and to adopt foreign improvements..
