CHINESE PAPERS.
ENGLISH RULE-AMERIcAN TRADE.

ENGLISH RULE-AMERICAN TRADE.
A file of Chinese Papers-,he Hong-Kong
Register-have been received out West here,
dated as late as the 9th September last.-
The Cincinnati Chronicle says-"A friend
has transmitted us a file of the Hong-Kong
Register. This is the English Government,
paper published at Hong-Kong, the English
port in the island of Chuzan. II is very va
liable to US, as furnishing a good ~ilIustra-
ton of the completeness with which the
English impress their own mind and modes
on all their colonies. The advertisements
in this paper, show that the goods sold, and
the mode of transacting business, are just a
bout the same as in England. In fact, the
English Lion has put his foot peremploril,
and permanently on nearly the whole Asiatic
territory. 1t will result in transferring al

The following important item is found in
the Register of The Oath inst.
"American Trade Nth China. We learn
from private letters lately received by "a Gen
lleman here that the Merchants in the Uni.
ted States accustomed to send goods to Chi
goods adapted for that market that can be
manufactured from the lst of June 10 the
end of October"
1t seems that the China trade in American
manufactured cottons is extending; and il
we once get a firm foo.-hold in thai trade, il
is likely 10 be one of great magnitude; and
we of Cincinnati are not altogether disinter-
esied in that matter. For if, as we suppose,
the cotto II manufacture may be carried on
very a~dvantageously in Cincinnati and the
Miami country, it is not unreasonable TO sup
pose that we may also share in the foreign
export.
1t is understood, that by the new Treaty
American lead will be admitted on liberal
terms. The demand for lead III China is
great, and it is probable an opening will be
thus afforded for an increased expectation OF
this article from the mines of the West.
On the whole, a new era is evidently aris-
ing in the commerce between the Great As
iatic nations and the European races.

or The following notice of our Canal,
we copy from the Toledo Blade. This work
is creating unusual interest throughout the
West, such interest as insures its completion
whether Congress comes TO our aid or not.
We are still induced to think, however, the
Government will not let the present oppor-
tunity slip Of securing an interest in it and
making it whatit shouldbe a National Work.
A few days now will settle hat point.
WABASH AND ERIE CANAL.-This
work in lis effect on the growth and business
of our city has not answered our expectations.
A variety of cases, too well k nown here to
need 10 be enumerated, have operated TO
postpone the realization of our hopes.
But we have this CO nsolation-that though
slow-great results are sure. So long a line
of canal, through a country so fertile, cannot
fail TO occasion an immense amount of bust
ness at the point of its connexion with the
lake waters. Next season its length will be
increased down the rich Wabash valley fifty
miles, but not in time for the spring trade.
1t will also have added TO it next season one
hundred and eighty miles by the junction Of
the Miami canal. In 1916, the line west
ward will reach Terre-H aute, ninety mile:
beyond Lafayette, its present terminus, in
that direction. A bill has just passed the
Senate of the u. States, granting land to aic
in extending the canal from Terre-Haute to
Evansville on tho Ohio river, four hundred
and sixty miles by canal from Toledo. The
bill which gives between Terre-Haute ant
Evansville, the same amount--(the alternate
sections within five miles on each side ofths
canal line,) that was given this side of Ter
re-Haute we hope will also pass the House
Of Representatives.-ToIedo Blade.
