THE commercial clauses Of the treaty are un-
satisfactory. is a conclusion arrived at by The
DAILY Telegraph, Palmcrstou's most sbject syco
phant: but if cbuckles at the brightest point 10
the programme" viz: that the British Minister
" may establish himself at Pekin, while Mandarin
% will install himself in London, and possibly invite
" the Queen 10 ball st Albert Gate" However
John Bull may indulge this fun, there can be no
doubt that whatever political influence may be ex-
ercised at Pekin will fall To the part Of Russia,
which by dint of the last treaty holds new
territory being large France, and, in great
part, o0 ts frontier, 200 miles only distant from
fekin. Ii s by means comfortable reflection
for John Bull that be- himself, by his first opium
war, procured Russia treaty yielding her the
navigation Of the Amoor and free trade on the land
frontier, while by his second Opium-wsr he has
helped her to the invaluable tract lying between the
Gulf of lartary and Lake Baikal, a region so much
coveted by Russia that from Gar Alexey Michaelo-
witch down to Nicoaus she has always attempted
TO get it. So deeply did The London T,n1s feel
that sting that, in Ia publication o the st. Peters

"craIly remote or insular" Besides, at this time
Of the day, the deusive notion Of the growth Of
trade being proportonate to the number Of ports
opened, should have been exploded. Consider the
harbors on the coasts of Great Britain, OF France,
or the United States how few of them have devel-
oPed Themselves into real emporiums Of commerce
Before the first Chinese war, the English traded
exclusively to Canton. The concession of FIVE new
ports, instead of creating FIVE new emporiums of
commerce, has gradually transferred trade from
Canton to Shsnghae, as may be from the fol
lowing figures extracted from the Parliamentary
BlueBook on the trade of various places for l-5S-
o1 At the sarae time, it should be NEGLECTED that
the Canton imports include the imports to Annoy
and Pochow, which are transhipped al Canton.
