| The report Of the commerce OF Bombay for the
year 1884, exhibits very considerable increase in
the, trade Of that year over those which have pre-
ceded IT, namely: rs. q SS7 GIG in imports, and rs
2,SD,4l2 IN exports; or, IN the aggregate, upwards
Of four and half crores of rupees. The customs
had also augmented to the amount OF rs. so, Si2
The total import OF cotton into Bombay, during the
iyear 1884, amounted to III S72 $50 lbs. and the
total export to III 1868 $50 lbs. The discrepancy be-
tween the imports and exports is attributed by the
Bombay Tines, to fraudulent importations. which, it
alleges, are carried on to considerable extent.
The news from China extends to the 10th of
February but business was in state Of stagnation
in consequence of the Chinese holidays:
CHINA OPENED TO CHRISTIANITY.-We have re-
celved letters from Macao, containing intelligence
which, if it be confirmed, will produce sensation
in China. It is nothing less than the abolition Of the
rigorous edict which forbid the Chinese to embrace
and practise Christianity. We know that these
edics, after having been revoked under the reign Of
about century ago, the advice of the Tribunals
OF Rites and, until these latter times at least, have
been put into execution by the Chinese magistrates
with the utmost rigor. Thus Christianity has found
double obstacle to its introduction into the middle
OF the empire; for on one hand were the laws which
nterdlcted foreigners from penetrating into the nte
rlor OF the empire, and on the other hand the Chi
nese, who, if left to themselves would be inclined
to embrace the religion of the Gospel are restrained
by the pains and penalties denounced by the edicts 1t
IS these edlcts which it Is now in contemplation to
abolish. To obtain this abolition the French mission
as may be believed, could not make any direct propo
sltlon to the Chinese commissioners. twas only by
influential means that it ought could act Thus the
first ovcrtures came from the Chinese,negocators
themselves, from HI Ying, the representative Of the
Emperor and from the treasurer, Hu Ad. XII Wing
has hberalarnd philosophical mind Far from hav-
ing any prejudice or antipathy against Christianity
ne repeats, both in personal conference and in his
written correspondence, that religion which for
bids evil and commands good cannot be false one.
He adds that as this religion is professed by the
great Emperor Of the French and by the noble ma
ton of which he is sovereign, the abolition of the
laws which forbid its exercise in China would be
the best means OF confirming friendly alliance be-
tween the two countries. In word, he offered his
mediation with the Emperor and the Tribunal of
Rites to obtain revocation of the anti-Christian
edicts. To us alone will belong the honor of having
represented Christianity and civilization in China
by causing edcts Of intolerance and persecution to
be abolished? Though others may have converted
China TO commerce; we shall have opened her to
Christianity and tolerance!-JoWnal DIES Debats.
