HONG KoNo, March 2s, 1862
The discussion to the advlsaoility opening more
ports in China still waXetn warm. The Hong Kong
Journals take the ground that 1t is not advisable and
pitch into Sir Rutherford Allcock and Mr.. Bur-
ungame numerically. And TO tell the truth, the
simple privilege Of trading at other ports than those
now open would be OF but little advantage unless
guarantees were also given that no restric-
tions should be placed on the native mer
chant or producer in the way OF trading
with foreigners, and that the transit dues be
abolished. This latter is the greatest evil that the
foreign China merchant suffers from, for the China
Blk or undergoes about a dozen squeeZes before
reaches his hand. But these dues were
abolished and then other ports opened it would
greatly facilitate trade, and OF course lessen the
Importance Of Hong Kong; hence the principal
cause OF the opposition OF the coonlsts. The ad-
dress OF the Hong Kong Chamber Of Commerce, in
reply TO Sir utherford Acock's letter, asking for
their views upon the question, contains the follow
Ing and is very similar TO the reply OF the shanghai

composed chiefly OF wealthy men, while the
neig ighboring clans who are combined against them
consist OF poorer and less influential people. The
immediate cause OF the outbreak was that these lat
