NEWCHWANG.

Newehwang is the most northerly port in China open to foreign trade. It is situated in the province of Shing-king, in Manchuria. It is called by the natives Ying-tz, and lies about thirteen miles from the mouth of the river Liao, which falls into the Gulf of Liao-tung, a continuation of the Gulf of Pechili.

in now,

Before the port was opened, comparatively little was known of this part of the Central Kingdom. Situated in a wild region, the greater part of which was a few years since little else but a wilderness, it was never visited by outsiders. Manchuria however, being rapidly colonised by the Chinese, who already outnumber the natives. The word Ying-tz means military station, and that was the only use formerly made of the place. Between the years 1858 and 1860, the British fleet assembled in Ta-lienwan Bay, and early in 1861 the foreign settlement was established. The town of Newchwang itself is distant from Ying-tz about thirty miles, and is a sparsely populated and unimportant place.

The country about the port of Newchwang is bare and desolate, and in sailing up the river the voyager encounters a cheerless prospect. Ying-tz is surrounded by dreary marshes, and the land under cultivation produces principally Beans. The river is closed by ice for more than three months every year, during which period the residents are entirely cut off from the outer world. The climate, however, is healthy and bracing. The population of the place is estimated at 60,000.

The chief articles of trade at the port are Beans and Bean-cake, 2,069,152 piculs of the former and 1,613,464 piculs of the latter being exported in 1882 as against 2,261,067 piculs and 1,443,318 piculs respectively in 1881. The trade in Beans and Bean-cake has shown a pretty steady increase during the last fourteen years. The net quantity of Opium imported in 1882 was 469 piculs, compared with 446 piculs in 1884, 1.186 piculs in 1880, and 2,453 piculs in 1879. The import of Opium has fluctuated a good deal during the last few years, but generally speaking the decline has been marked and constant, the poppy being largely and successfully cultivated in Manchuria. The total value of the trade of the port for 1882 amounted to Tls. 6,625,182 as against Tls. 6,030,432 in 1881.
