CHINA.

Oar advice, from Hong Kong
.are to Jan. 14;
Shanghai, Jan. 7. 'the following is from the sum-
mery of the China Nail:
No farther intelligence has arrived from Japan aunt uncing
any change in the state of matters there • but it is confi-
dently hoped that the firm attitude assumed by Mr. Causal-
General Aloock will have the effect both of reseurieg the
Japanese government, and of checking the improprieties of
the British residentewho tare behaved la such a manner aa
to cause the partial stoppage of trade. It is due to the com-
mercial community of China to mention that it has
very generally condemned their conduct. It is die-
cult to obtain informetion as to what Is going on
in the Japanese porta, but there appear. to be
very good grounds for the warnings held out by Mr.
Oliphant and others easiest the 'elocution of any great end
sudden "hessian of British trade from the opening of these
ports. When first opened there were a number of curious
articles presented in the market whkh gave something to do;
and the parolees of gold colts afforded a most profitable
800 ; but the real commerci.l question in regard to Japan.
viz , how far It is willing fu take our rustmlicthlee and can
give us raw produce, yet remains to be solved.
The question es to how far Japan may be able to supply
us with coal is about to be investigated by Lieut. lisholm,
ILE., who has left Shanghai for Nagasaki for that purpose.
The Minister of the United States at Yedo has officially
communicated that he has obtained a pledge from the Japa-
nese government that the treaty of Yedo will be canted out
' in all its integrity, and that, more particularly, Japanese
produce may be freely purchased, and all Japanese articles
may be exported without limit, except rice, wheat, copper
coin, and accented Japanese gall and silver. The "marten
to be occupied by foreigners will also be settled immediately.
From Shanghai the only news of importance is that the
Chinese government has given the coup de grace to the
gratuitous suppeition that it means to ignore the
American treaty which was ra:ified at reh-tang.
Not content with allowing that treaty to come m force,
and opening the new ports of Swatow and Taiwan, it has
extended the provisions of the American treaty; to the
English and other treaty powers. Ile, the Imperial Com-
missioner, has been eathori•ed by the Emperor to du ect that
the tonnage dues at the various open porta be levied at the
reduced rate of 4 mace per ton, as secured by the new American
