COAL FIELD III new ZEALAND.

Railway extensions and coal work
ing enterprises are advancing hand
in-hard i'm New Zealan1, and, while
the surveys undertaken for railway
purposes in the Colony are lea'iing
10 the discovery of new coal fields.
| the existence of valuable coal deEos-
its is tending TO the rapid pushing
forward of new railways. The eX-
hihi,s of coal at the Local Industrial
Exhibition held three months ago at
lAshburton. New Zealand, showed IN
remarkable manner the wealth Of
this mineral possessed by our Colony
at the Aniipodcs. They included
specimens from the newly discovered
coal bed at Mount HUT, anthracite
from the hills over the gorge of th"
Rakaia. nine or ten diff,ren! kinds
of coal found by the engineer survey
inc the route of the new railway TO
he bniIt from Canterbury to West
Coast. and from halfa-doz"n other
places in Canterbury and the West
Coast itself. The wlnle range of
hills skirting the Canterbury plains
are said To be fall ofcoal ofa service
able rharactcr-a fact which cugnrs
will for the industrial prospects of
that part Of the Cnl"nv These d.
posits are only awaiting the complt-
ton Of the Mount Somers railway
to he brought in:o general use.
Thus the railways and the coal mines
which are naturally dependent on
each other, are b,ing simultaneously
developed. There is on point, how
ever, i'm which their interests. though
identical, are brought into opposition.
Owing To the high rates charged by
the existing line Of railways for the
carriage of coal, the mining industry
is discouraged. This is perhaps The
chief objection to the control of the
rail ways by the state, as the absence
of competition tends to keepnp rates.
The time is coming, however, when
sea carriage of coal from the West
Coast will become "a important as
the trade in sea-borne coal in this
country, and its railways will then be
forced to rednce their rates, even if
their own interest as coal consumers
does not compel them to do so
before.-The c Colonics and India.

DEcADENcE OF AMEaIcsN sHlPPlNe G

Following in the wake of some Of
his confreres in other parts of the
globe, Mr.. .Scruggs. United States
CONSUL at Canton, gives a doleinl
account Of the decline of American
shipping, so far as Eastern waters
are concerned. Reporting to- his
Government, he states that tor three
months previous to April not one
American vessel had entered Canton.
There were but two rlur'ng the pre-
vious quarter, and of these only one
was really American az contemplated
by the navigation laws of that conn-
try. The other was not American
built, had no American register, aud,
though owned by American citizens,
had. no right 20 carry the American
flag into an American port. Before
undertaking voyage o San Fran
cisco she hail to change owners, reg
lister under fercign flag, and thus
abandon all shadow of claim to her
nationality. What il of Canton
in this respects MIR. Scruggs remarks,
is true pari passu OF other Chinese
ports; indeed it is true of all them.
Even Shanghai can hardly be held an
exception. for the decrease has been
proportionately as great there as
elsewhere in the far East. And in
this regard what Is true of Asia
waters is equally true of the north
and south Atlantic, of the waters Of
Western Europe, of the Bahamas,
and of the Caribbean, the only dis
tinctive American seas on the face OF
the z lobe. Even of American foreign
commerce it was well known that
only one -'ourlh Of il was transported
in American bottoms. But there
was time, as Mr. Scrilggs SAYS. wh' II
such was not the case. Twenty
y
years ago the bulk. OF American
trade was done bv means of Amer
lean ships. Their proportion of this
carrying trade was then as top;
now it is as 3to 8, and the tendency
was still downward. IF the rate of
decreasc which has prevailed during
the last Is years he continued the
entire disappearance of the American
flag from the high seas seems To be a
question OF few years only, an Mr..
Scruggs thinks the saddest feature of
all is that Americans seem perfectly
content that this should be the case.
