China and the Chinese.

AS our rapidly increasing commercial marine
III the Pacific gradually draws ms nearer 70
China. any information pertaining to the inhab-
itants of that country, its resources and pro-
ducts, becomes Interesting. An intelligent cor
respondent Of the Washington National Intelli-
geneer, who is evidently we'll acquainted with
the Chinese, their manners and habits, and with
the country, as far as foreigners are permitted
TO explore, gives some interesting facts relative
to this hitherto almost unknown people The
day is notfar distant when the relations of the
United States with China will be of such an in.
innate nature that a full knowledge of the fun
damental organization Of society in that distant
land will be invaluable, and all information
which may be CLEANED from the experience of
those who have made this subject study, should
become public property, We make the follow
ing extract from the letter of which we speak !:
The Chinese empire as it now stands, is more remark
able for the numberles that it has held together
vast swarms Of human beings that are living and sus
tanned within Its limits than for any active influence it
exers upon the destinies of other countries The silks
snd teas now the principal articles of expectation ad
minister to the comforts and lxuries of the wealthy and
nonahorfng classes of other countries and to the very
few who employed to prepare them use but the
large numbers OF producers and labOring people in the
United States and Europe very little if at all bene-
hted by the present state of trade with China There are
scarcely foreign manufactures and products cop.

The opium trade, which the Government has
been compelled, at the mouth of the cannon, to
tolerate, costs the nation $50 900 900 per annun
but as yet, none of the products or smanufac-
lures Of the United States, of any consequence
have been made necessary to the wants of the
Ielestials, We pay vast sums Of money each
year for teas, silks, and other articles most OF
which finds its way into the hands of the drug
Spectators of India, while but for this extensive
monopoly We might, in China, soon have good
customer for cheap cotton fabrics, and even
bread stuffs. The enormous profits which are
now confined to the few, would then be legit-
maeely distributed throughout the world, and
the United States would come in for large
Share The rapid encroaellments which our
clippersshave already made within the last few
years i'll the carrying trade from, China, is but
an Indication of what American enterprise is
destlned to accomplish in that quarter of the
globe With our steamships covering the most
distant seas, an easy and rapid communication
between the Atlantic and Pacific, itreopires M
great stretch Of the Imagination to see, early in
the future, an American influence in the eastern
world, which will unlock its hidden treasures
and turn to our shores almost the entire current
of wealth which has SO long been emptied into
the Golfers of our Anglo-Saxon neighbors.
We have the advantage of the world in estab.
fishing lucrative trade with China, and it is
in the nature of the progress we are constantly
making as nation, that these advantages should
soon be improved to the utmost

ScREw STEAMERs-The London Morning Chronicle
reviewing the recent rapid voyages of the pope
ers between England and the United States calls upon
the great ship and public companies to place such
vessels in the INDIAN Australian and American trades
and remarks that the comparative cheap in which
screwshps worked and their great capacity the
conveyance of both and passengers enable them
compete successfully with the expensive steamships
for passengers and with sailing vessels for goods 1t
refers in detail to the which to attend
almost every vessel fitted with the propeller whether
on long or short voyages and states that of their u
mate success the testimony of many eminent and prac
cal men in their favor leave but little doubt the
more when is considered that the change only in
wolves the application of steam auxiliary power
sailing vessels built upon the most approved models
yond this they will be enabled from their capacity for
stowage and the small amount of occupied by ma
chinery and fuel to carry cargoe far exceeding anything
that could be slowed by steamships of the ordinary con-
struction.

to he better class and have of the piratcal pro-
pensities for which their brethren in Canton river
somewhat celebrated. By encouraging Chinese inlmi
grants to California and treating them kindly much may
be done to remove the preudices that exist in China
against u.s. & ~
! The Christian Missionaries in this benighted
country have as yet been unable to make any
great progress, as they have not only the Ian
guage, but the preiudices of thousands of years
to contend against. The missionary hospital at
Canton has, however, done signal service to the
cause Of humanity, and the many operations
and cures performed by the Rev P. Parker, NJ
d., have done much to soften and enlighten the
hearts of the barbarians.
The writer speaks with great pride of the ap-
pearance Of the American shipping at Whampoa.
In regard to our naval force, he thinks it bad
policyssto employ large ships on that station.
Two steamers Of 800 or 1000 tons burthen, can
be kept afoat there at an expense not exceeding
that Of one. large vessel, and be made much
more efficient in protecting our commercial in
terests.
The contemplated line of steamers between
San Francisco and Shanghai is an enterprise
which would confer immense benefits on the
commerce of the United States, and no efforts
should be spared to carry it into effect.
