The "organ" announces the intention of Go. vernment to reduce the assessed nominal rental as rated by Messrs Tarrant and Pope. Forty per cent is to be deducted from their valua tion. It matters very little whether they add or subtract the forty per cent. The important question is, what is the rate at which the illegal Is it one dollar per tax has been fixed? hundred, or one dollar in ten? If, as we hear, the monstrous sum of nine thousand pounds is required for the police of this little island- a place in dimension not greater than a Gentle- man's park-we will be fleeced to some extent; Besides these there are however several others trading to the possibly to the tune of five per cent ou the rental. port

Shanghae is a port of large and tecreasing trade, and in a very short time we may expect it to be the largest Emporium for foreign commerce in China. It was noticed in 1756 as a port very desirable for us to trade at, disturbances frequently occurring at Canton, other ports were named as those to which an advantageous change might be made, and amongst these, thought with some degree of doubt as to the result, was Shanghee. Canton in the province of Kwantong is in 40 way well situated for foreign trade, though it has long and Cotton and Woollen manu- almost exclusively enjoyed it factures the principal imports into Chins from England are mostly used in the provinces if Chekiang, Kiangnan and Hookwang, to these places they are transported by land ax canal carnage, at considerable expense, thereby adding materially to their first cost. Cotton Wool and Yarn, from India and England are used in Kwantong and Fukein provinces Straits produce, Pepper, Rattans. Tin &c, are used in different parts of the Empire bas seldom sent inland in quantity owing to the heavy expense of carriage in propor tion to their value.
The organ" also informs that the Junk trade has taken upwards of 100,000 pieces of shirtings in July. We do not mean to ques tion the correctness of the statement; but we beg to say that so far as Mr, Gutzlaff's official report conveys a conviction that the goods were sold here, so far it is false. The goods were sold in Canton deliverable in Hongkong as is well know to our local friends. We do not believe that 100,000 pieces of cotton goods have been actually sold in this colony in twelve months. The goods are sold and settled for in Canton; Hongkong is merely the ware house were they have been stored.
Parliament has voted the sum of £ 80,000 to defray the charge of Hongkong and the Consular establishments at the five ports for the year ending with March 1846. This includes the POLICE and every other branch of the pub- Jic service; even an item of Contingent ex- pences £16,099, but still our local rulers the inen paid to protect the colonists are attempt ing to raise a property tax to the extent of for- ty or fifty thousand dollars. We must defer much that it may be necessary to say on this subject to our next issue.
We are authorised to state that Government have instructed the Assessors to make a deduction of Forty per cent from their valuation of property in Hongkong subject to Policó Rate.- China Mail, August 14.
Rear Admiral Sir Thomas Cochrane passed Singapore on Friday morning last, en toate, it is said, to Borneo. The following vessels accom- pained the Admiral. Agincourt 74 flag ship, Dedalus and Vestal, War brig Wolverine, Cruizer and Osprey. Also Her Majesty's Steamer Vixen and the Hon Company's Steamers Pluto and Ne-
meses.
Her Majesty's Brig of war Osprey returned, and shortly after took her departure for New Zealand.

A mercantile friend has favoured us with the following valuable paper on Shanghai, which we publish to the exclusion of our editorial re- marks on local affairs.
NOTES ON SHANGHAE. SHANGHAE, in the province of Kiangaan is one of the five ports of China opened to British trade in the year 1843. Da the 14th November 1848 Her Britannic Majesty's Consul officially announced the establishment of the Consulate. The Treaty of peace between Great Britain and China bears date 20th August, 1842, the Supplementary treaty signed at the Bogue 8th October, 1813.

The Exports from Canton are Teas and Raw Silk, with other articles of small value. The Black Teas are mostly from Fokein province on the south side of the mountains dividing it from Kiangnan and Kiangay in north Latitude 27 a 2bu, soins few are from Kwantong province. Green Teas are from the provinces of Chekiang, Kiangay and Kiangaan, a few made in Kwantong Raw Silk is mostly from Cheki. ang, the principal city Hang.chow foo is in 33 20" N. Lat. and 118- 50'E Long, also from Kiangnao, and Kiangey Teas and Silk exported from, as also Cotton and Woollen manufactares imported into Canton, bave to be transported- over an immense track of country which adds to their cost and prevents their more extended use. Shanghae being nearer the places of production and consumption, mire easy of access and at lees expense than Canton, is far to be Preferred as a port of trade, and it is somewhat surprising it did not attract greater station in former years.
