OUR LONDON LETTER.
(From our own Correspondent.)
LONDON, March 5th. Surely the most important news wa"hayu received from Hengkong for many a long year has been the opening of the West River. As far as we can gather on this side of the globe the opening is an accomplished fret. Old China hands, however, are somewhat arcastic and unbelievings to the practical results and canilder that the agreement is only on paper.

The valve of the Fanign trade of China for the year under review rose from nearly Hk. Tlx, 315,000,000 la 1895 to Hk. Tls. 311,600,000, which is the largest tots! recorded in the Customs Returns. In both Imports and Export trade has been active, and the remarkable galu sader Imporis, while affording evidence of the mauvery from the disorganisation caused by the wir with Japan, contributed to the exchequer a millon and a half taels over the Import Duties colleced in the year preceding. The inland parts Scochow in Klangan, Hanchow in Cheb- klang and the Yangtze mart of Shasi la Hapch were pened to Foreign trade under the Treaty of Sulmonoseki and Custom Houses established at es port for the collection of Duties from the 1st October, but trade was insignificant, and the Reverte table shows that the first quarter's receipt from the new ports yielded the incon siderale som of Hk Tix. 6,180
