TIE CHINA CLAIMs.-The claims OF
our citizens upon China are, according
to the correspondent Of the Philadelphia
Bulletin, paid, not by. the Government,
but by private merchants in the follow
ipg manner:
AT thes close of the opium war, Eng
land demanded s25, 100000 as return
for the outlay which it had entailed upon
her. The Chinese Government eonsen-
ted: and the money was paid, but not
bv the Government. Five or six rich
merchants of Canton met the obligation,
and then commenced, slowly but surely,
to refund themselves by a slight addition
to the cost of every pound OF tea
that subsequently left the I'm,
pire. And the present claims VIII
be met in the same way, for the great
merchant "How-qua" has already vol
untaered (report says) large amount
toward that end. In the United States
we are accustomed to look upon the chi
nese as semi civilized people, neverthe-
less some of their first merchants are men
of vast wealth. "Hew-qua," for instance
is unquestionably worth his millions
where John Jacob Astor was worth
his hundreds of thousands.

Effect. Of war on Tmde.

There is a strong impression among mer'

Good, DISASTROUS war occur, and depres'
sion in trade is experienced every where,
here IA well as in Europe.
In the case Of the present war, we get a
larger sun for what wa export to Europe,
but We pay greater price for our imports
Wa sell our grain for more, but we also give
more fur our manufactured goods In Europe
hundreds Of thousands Of men, who were
in time Of peace busily engaged In tilling

hundreds Of thousands Of dollars worth Of
provisions and bread stuFs will be destroyed
by the ordinary casualties Of war, 10y the
conAagration Of store houses, the destruction
Of grain and crops, aud by waste and ex,

scene of bloodshcd, the soil was not culliya,

by the opposing armies. So that take the
world over, while the demand IL much great

beneficial to the inrmer and in somo measure
