There was at thal time no regular steam communication be tween Shanghai and the northra porta of China; occasional steamers were dispatched, but their visits were like angola' visits, fow and far between. Shipping being thus restricted to a small number of vessels, it was a natural coa- sequence, that the charges for passages warg oxitaordinarily high. Yes most exorbitant, if pompared with those now prevailing, thongh they are still vorg high. Täna, for instance, a saloon pasange frám Éhanghal to London by P. & O. staЯmer cost, 8850. and the cabin was CO- oupled by two or more passengers : for z reserved cabin $1,100 ml to be paid.
