CHINKIANG.
The port of Chinkian; (or Chén kinng-fu), which was declared open to foreig■
trade by the Treaty of Tientsin, is situated on the Yangtsze, about 150 miles from ite mouth, and at the point where tie Grand Canal enters the river.
The history of Chinking possesses but few features of interest. The position of the town, as a translation of its name implies ("River Guard"), was at one time of considerable importance from a military point of view, when all the rice-tribute from The British the south of China was transported to Peking by the interior route. forces captured the place in July, 1842, and as the cutting off of supplies always operates with great effi.cl, the commanding situation thus secured was liut long in producing the desired result upon the Central Government, for the Treaty of Nanking was signed a month afterwards. The Taiping rebels entered the town in April, 1853, and continued to occupy it till 1857, when they bad to evacuate it from the same cause which had made the Government yield fifteen years before.
The city lies between one of the mouths of the Grand Canal and the right baok of the Yangtsze. Most of the houses are built on level ground, but the surrounding bils lend a pleasant appearance to the locality, which is considerably enhanced by the bluff scenery of the island of Ts'io-sban. When the city was abandoned by the rebel forces, its destruction was very nearly complete, and it has not yet altogether recovered its former prosperous aspect. The foreign settlement occupies a tract of land extending from the mouth of the Canal along the bank of the river. The population of Chinkiang is estimated at 135,000.
Considerable commercial importance was attached to the port when it was first opened. The largest ves els cau approach it, and hopes were bigh as to the position it would occupy in the development of inland trade with China. But, like the hopes entertained respecting several of the other Chinese ports, they have proved delusive, and the trade on the Yangtsze seems to have centred at Hankow, farther up the river. The net importation of Opium into Chiukiang in 1882 was 10,252 picus, against 10,367 piculs in 1881. The net value of the foreign imports for 1882 was Tls. 8,998,941. The total value of the trade of the port for 1882 amounted to Tls. 14,738,070, and in 1881 it was Tis. 15,823,389.
