YUENSAN.

This port, situated in Broughton's Bay, on the north-eastern coast of Corea, is it the southern corner of the province of Ham-kiung, and was opened to Japanese tade on 1st May, 1860. It is called Gensan by the Japanese aud Wonsan by the Coreats, and under that name is thus described by Mr. Aston:-"The town extends for a mile along the southern shore of the bay, and consists of about two thousand houses with a population of perhaps 10,000 inhabitants. One main street of some ten to twelve feet in width winds through from end to end, and into this open numerous narrow and crooked alleys." Near each end of the town is an open space where a market, chiefly for agricultural produce, is held about six times a month. The bouses are mean and dirty, and the town presents a poverty-stricken appearance. The barbour is a good one, being spacious, easy of access, well sheltered, with excellent holding ground, and convenient depth of water. The Japanese have a nice clean looking Settlement, consisting of about fifty houses built in semi-Euro- Jean style and a really fine Consulate, of foreign design, containing at least forty rooms and offices. The country around Yuensan is under cultivation, the soil is very rich, and it is certain that under more skilful management it might be made to produce a much more valuable crop than it does at present. Within a short dis- tance of the port are mines producing copper and other minerals, and gold is found amongst the neighbouring mountains. The cattle at this port, as nearly all over the country, are very fine and plentiful, and can be bought at very low rates; they are used as beasts of burden and for agricultural purposes.

The exports, which are estimated at about $250,000 per annum, consist of hides, gall-nuts, beans, copper, iron, gold-dust, shark's fins, silk cocoons, dried fish, sardines, raw silk, millet, rice, tiger, leopard, and dog skins, furs, seaweed, eggs and pears. The imports are valued at about $300,000, and consist chiefly of cotton and woollen manufactured goods, dyes, metals, matches, and miscellaneous articles for the use of Japanese. The Custom House is under the management of a Euro- pean commissioner and assistant. The duties are collected according to an ad talorem tariff arranged with the Japanese Minister by convention signed at Seoul in July last.
