which we have the immense internal commerce Of
the Empire, radiating from these points, through
its canals and nayigable rivers
The cable being laid, this company proposes
erecting land lines, and establishing a speedy and
trustworthy means of communication, which must
command there, as everywhere else, the commu-
nications Of the Government, OF business, and Of
social life especially in China. She has no postal
system, and her only means now of communicating
information is by couriers on land. and by steam
on water
The Western World knows that China is very
large country, in the main densely peopled but
few yet realize that she contains more than third
OF the human race. The latest returns made to
her central authorities for taxing purposes by the
local magistrate make her population Four hun
ared anu Fourteen millions, and this is more
nkely to be under than over the actual aggregate

not only can but do read and write Her civiH-
cation is peculiar, but her literature is eXten-
siye as that of Europe. China is land of teach
ers and traders; and the latter are exceedingly
quick to avail themselves of every profered facili-
y for procuring early information. 1t is observed
in California that the Chinese make great use Of
the telegraph, though it there transmits messages
in English alone. To-day great numbers Of feet
steamers are owned by Chinese merchants and
used by them exclusively for the transmission of
early intelligence If the telegraph we propose
connecting all their great seapOrts, were now IN
existence it is believed that its business would
pay the cost within the first two years Of its
cessful operation, and would steadily increase
thereafter
No enterprise commends itself as in a greater
degree renumerative to capitalists, and to our
