eith April, Recent soundings in the roaches between the Settlement and the Nine Farta (Petang Io show that matters are getting werze rathor than better, and it is meob feared that stramers, will not be able to come to the band bafore the autumn.
The U. B, S: Monocacy has rosaived orders to feave this port immediately. We are not heard if the U.S. Admiral on this station has order a dredger, but we are inclined to think it will be required if the orders are to be carried out
We learn that as soon as the necessary arrangements can be effected the Customs Anchorage will be temperarily changed from Tangku to Peitangkas (Nine Forts), thereby greatly facilitating the discharging and loading of steamers. The shorter distance which the lighters will have to travel wil help matters vory much.-Peking and Tientsix Times.
