Chinese Affairs.

WASHINGTON, April 81.
The instructions to Commissioner Reed have
been made public. The Secretary OF State in
forms him that the objects, which are under
stood as benefits, that the proposed French
and English allies seek to accomplish by trea-
ty stipulations, are recognized by the Presi-
dent as just and eXpedient, and so far as you
can do so by peaceful cooperation, he expects
YOU will aid in their accomplishment. In
conformity with this policy You will commu-
nicate frankly with the British and French
ministers upon all points of common inter st,
so that it may be distinctly understood that
the three nations are equally Influenced by a
determination TO obtain justice and by de-
sire to procure treaty arrangements for the
extension and more adequate protection OF
their commercial intercourse with China; bat
on your side these efforts must be confined to
firm representations appealing to the justice
and uOlicy of the Chinese authorities and
leaving your own government to determine
upon the course to be adopted. Should your
representations be fruitlosS. special reference
is made to your communication to the minis
tiers of Great Britain and France, not only
from our common interests with these nations
in the trad" with China, and in the means
suggested for its extension, but because they
alone, amOhg the great powers of the world,
have diplomatic representations at court. 1t
is understood, however. that Russia, which
has long been represented in China by mis-
sionaries of religion, has attempt,d recently
to secure the reception there Of an accredited
minister, and You may possibly find this pur-
pose accomplished when you reach your des-
tination. In that event. there is no good rea-
son why you should not be on the same
friendly relations with the Russian Envoy as
with the Representatives of Great Britain and
France. You are authorized. therefore. to
communicate with him as far as practicable,
upon all subjects of mutual concern. This
country, you will bear in mind, is not at war
with China, nor does it seek to enter that en-
pire for any other purposes than those of law
fal commerce and for the protection of the
lives and property of it, citizens.

IMMENSE AMOUNT OF MONEY on DEPOSIT IN
THIS COUNTRY.-In the banks of the four great
cities of this country New York, Boston,
Philadelphia and New Orleans-there was
last week on deposit no less than one hun
dred and twenty-eight and quarter millions
of dollars. an Increase on the previous week
of nearly two millions of dollars. This does
not show any great revival of business in the
country at large. In Boston, previous to the
late financial crisis, the amount on deposit in
the various banks of the city was not much
over fourteen millions of dollars; it is now
twenty aud half millions. The specie in
the banks of the four cities last week was
ffty-seven millions five hundred thousand
dollars; the previous week, ffty-fve millions
eight hundr d thousand dollars, an increase
of a million and half in one week. In
Boston, within the past six months. the
amount of specie in the banks has about
dOubled.-BosOH TfdUeller, Of AP1l II.

A RAILROAD Tunnel THROUGH A CTTY.-It
is stated that the leading railroad men con-
nected with the principal railroads running
into Philadelphia are now before the Legisla-
ture of Pennsylvania asking an act of incorpo-
ration for uniting all the railroads in the
center of that city. 1t is proposed to do this
by tunneling one of the streets, from the
Scbuylkill to the Delaware, and having a
central passenger depot. into which all the
lines of railroad eonyerging to that city shall
come under ground.
