which we have the immense internal commerce of
the Empire, radiating from these points, through

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 eommu-
nieatons of the Government, of business and Of
social life especially in China She has postal
system, and her emily means now of communicating
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 bat
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 FoNr hun-
drsG and Fourteen H2tA2OHS, and this is more
likely to be under than the actual aggregate.
Nearly all OF these, who are over ten years old,
not only can but do read and write. Her eiyili-
cation is peculiar but her literature is exten-
sive as that of Eurepe. China IS q land OF teach
ers and traders; and the latter are exceedingly
quick to avail themselves of every profered facili-
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 feet

used by them exclusively for the transmission of
early intelligence. If the telegraph propose
connecting all their great seaports, were now in
existence, it is believed that its business would
pay the within the first two years of its sue
cessfulaperation, and would steadily increase
thereafter

commercially, politically and evangelically.
