These ports have foreign commerce Of 5000,
900 900, and an enormous domestic trade, besides
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 speedy and
trustworthy means Of communication, which must
command there, as everyWhars else, the eommu-
nieations Of the Government, Of business, and Of
social life especially in China. She has no postal
Eysten, and her enly means now Of ofeommuuicating
information is by eouriers on land, and BY steam
ers water.
The Western World knows that China is a very
large country, in the main densely peopled but
few yet realize that she contains 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 and Fourteen Htftfto1s, and tins Is more
likely to be under than over the actual aggregate.
Nearly all of these, who are over ten years old,
not only can but do read and write Her eivii-
zation is peculiar, but her literature Is as exten-
sive that of Europe. China is 3 land OF teach
ers and traders; and the latter are exceedingly
quick to avail themselves of every proered faoIli-
ty 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 heet
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
paw the cost within the first two years Of It's sue
cessfuI operation, and would steadily increase
thereafter.
No enterprise commends itself as in a greater
degree renumerativs to capitalists and to our
whole people 1t is Of vast national Importance
eommsrcialIy politically and evangelically.
