THE CANTON MINT.

Mossra Ralph Heston and Sous, of Birming- ham, write to the Times as follows:

Our attention has been called to a paragrap in your paper of the 22nd just under the above kearing giving an extract from the raport of **the British Longal at Canton" with reference to the mint proposed to be erected in that city. As we have been honoured with the order for: this mint, sod the greater part of it has already "been sent forward sad je zotasily being orosted at Canton, we desire to give some information- that may be useful to your waders who are fa- terested in Chinese business.

This report says, "It is hoped that there will Ibe a coturn to the good copper coinage of the serly Emperors of the present dynasty,” and | further, -"a silver esinage is also part of the scheme, but the Consul thinks if this be adoptad- the mint will be a failure.
