CHRONOLOGICAL CHARACTERS,

Of these, the Chinese haye several classes: the following are the most awelent and most generally used. They consist of two sets of characters, the pne of which, called Shik kin, the 'ten stems, or Shik kán, the 'ten stems,' or

These characters are applied to years, months, days, and hours, as well as to the points of the compass. For chronological purpose's they have been combined so as to form a cycle of sixty, as represented in page 3. Kjau the first of the ten, is joined to tz', the first of the twelve, and read kiáh-tsz', which denotes the first year, mouth, &c. of the cycle. 'In the same manner gis and chau, the second of the two sets are united, and so on through the 'ten stems.' Then kiáh, the first of the ten, is joined to sigh, the 11th of the twelve, and in this knammer the conjunctioș în continued up to sixty, when the tenth of Abu 'stems,' and the twoth of the 'branches, come together, and the cycle recommences. The 30th year of Taukwang, which commences on the 12th of February 1859, is the 47th of the cycle of yours and is called Kang-sinh; the first moon of That year is the 15th of thẹ cycle of moons, and is called Wi-yin; and the lat day of the 1st moon is the 31st of the cycle of days, and is called Kiák-wh.

For hours (and also for the points of the compres) the 'twelve branches' are used singly. The civil day of twenty-four hours is divided into twelve periods of two hours Erch "called xhỉ shìn, which are designated by the characters of the twelve branches, in the following manner :

These characters are applied to, years, months, days, and hours, as well as to the points of the compass.

'In the same manner gik and chau, thờ/second off the two sets are united, and so on through the 'ten steins.'

The wind blows get nerally from the north, occasionally, inclining to the NE, or NW.

　　　　The thick fogs which begin to disappear towards the end of March are in April seldom if ever seen.. The atmosphere, however, continues damp, and rainy days are not unfrequent. At the same time, the thermomerer gradually rises, and the nearer approach of the sun renders that heat more perceptible. In this and the summer months, southerly winds generally prevail; frequently however, they veer to the eastward.

JUNE, 30 Days.

Chinese XXXth Year, IVth and Vth Moons.

The month of June is also a very wet month, although, on an average, the number of rainy days is less than in the other summer months. The ther- nometer in June rises several degrees higher than in the month of May, and falls but little at night-it is this latter circumstance, chiefly, which causes the exhaustion often felt in this country from the heat of summer-no op- |portunity being afforded for regaining strength.

PARSEE CHRONOLOGY.

　　　The era adopted by the Parsees is called the Era of 'Yezdejērd, and commences a. p. 632, the year of the accession of! Yezdejerd III. to the throne of Persist, and the game in which that kingdom was attached by the Arabs: Whe Sassonian dynasty terminated by the successive defeats of this monarch in 686, and afterwards in 641, and his expulsion from the country. There are two modes of tal- culating this æra adopted by the Parsees, which differ only in ope month; the Ķudmées reckon time as given in the the first column ju this Calendar, the Rasmees or Shenshai date it one mouth later as given in the second-column, commencing their year September 27th. The intercalation of five days at the end of the 12 months of 80 days to`colmplete the year of 365 days is a very ancient mode, intro- 'duced by and adopted from the Chaldeans, by the Persians, Medes, Egyptians, Grecians, Roms; and Mexicans,, among all of whom they were observed with mirth and feasting. They are collectively called Grothuws by the Parsees, at each one has its own haine,

BRIEF GEOGRAPHICAL DESCRIPTION

OF THE

PROVINCES AND DEPENDENCIES

OF THE CHINESE EMPIRE.

Province of Chihlí.

# or as it is algo called Peh Chibli

CHIALI

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　✰ has had its northern boundaries grently extended ; the name Cikikli do, notes that it is the superintending province. This region was aus ciently called Yù and Yen, and is now the capital province of the empire. The seacoast forms the boundary from Shantung province to the Great Wall, which for a short distance divides Chiblí. Thence a palisade is the separating line to the river Hwang hot. This river marks the northern boundary of the province from the palisade to its source among the peaks of the Inner Hing-agu

Then the boundary runs nearly due eam and west in lat. 42° 30′‍′N. The western boundary running mearly north and south extends over more than seven and a half degrees of latitude, and divides Chihlí from Shánsí and Hon1n. The western parts of the province are flat and slope towards the sea, but the country towards Shánsí rises and is billy There are two lakes in the east and south divisions of the province. The Grand Canal passes through the east part, and falls into the Pei ho in lat. 39° 11′ N. and long. §° 48′ E of Peking. The Pei ho takes its rise a little beyond the Great Wall, and disembogues into the gulf of Pehchihlt. It has no tides but flows very rapidly. The entrance to the Pei ho is rather shallow, in consequence of a bar which stretches for a considerable distance into the sea.

　　　　　The provinces in China are divided into districts and departments called fú, ting, chau and hien. A fú is a large portion or depart- ment of a province under the general control of one civil officer immediately subordinate to the figury, or lieutenant-governor. A ting is a division of a province smaller than a ƒ, and either like it guverned by an officer immediately subject to the heads of the

provincial government, or else forming a subordinate part of a fi. In the former case it is called chih-li . i. e. under the direct

rule of the provincial government; in the latter case it is simply called ting. A chau is a division similar to a ting, and like it either independent of any other division, or forming part of a fú. The difference between the two consists in the government of a ting resembling that of a fú more nearly than that of a chau does; that of a chau is less expensive. The ting and chau of the class to which the term chih-lí is attached, may be denominated in common with the fú, departments or prefectures; and the term chihli may be rendered by the word independent. The subordinate ting and chau may both be called districts. A hien, which is also a district, is a small division or subordinate part of a department, whether of a fú, or of an independent chau or ting. Each fú, ting, chau and hien, possesses at least one walled town, the seat of its government, which bears the same name as the department or district to which it per- tains. The province of Chihlí contains eleven fú, six chau depart- ments, three ting districts, seventeen chau districts, and one hundred and twenty-four hien districts; it is compared in size with England and Wales united, or with the states of Michigan, Illinois or Arkansas in the United States.

Peking, the capital of the empire, is si'uated in this province in a sandy plain about twelve miles west of the Pei ho, and about a hundred miles west-north-west of its mouth, in latitude 39° 54′ 13′′ N. and longitude 116° 27′ E., or nearly on the parallet of Samar- kand, Erzroom, Naples and Philadelphia. The entire circuit of the walls and suburbs is reckoned to be about twenty-five miles, and the area at twenty-seven square miles. The average estimate of the population makes it about two millions. The place is otherwise called Shuntien fú. The seat of government was not permanently established here until A. D. 1411. The name given it on Chinese maps is King-sz', Capital of the Court. The city is divided into two portions including the northern portion or Tartar city, and the southern portion or Chinese city. In the former is the Kin ch'ing, or Prohibited city, which contains the Imperial Palace, and is about one mile square.

Besides the metropolis, Chihlí contains several other large cities, among which Pauting fo, the residence of the governor of the province, and Tientsin fő, the entrepôt of trade which comes through the Grand Canal and the Pei ho coast-wise, are the most important.

The former lies about eighty miles south-west of the capital on the great road leading to Sháusí.

Tientsin fi is the largest port on the coast above Shang- hái, and the only one of importance not open to foreign trade. The difficulties of entrance, however, almost preclude the access of foreign yessels, and it would thus be of little avail for trade if it were thrown open. It is especially important as being the terminus of the Grand Canal, where all the produce and taxes for the use of the capital are brought. The trade is quite extensive. More than five hundred junks arrive annually from the southern ports of China, and from Cochinchina and Siam. Near the mouth of the Pei ho is the town of Takú, noticeable as the spot where the first interview be- tween the Chinese and English plenipotentiaries was held on the breaking out of the war in 1840. At the mouth of the river, 18 miles from Tungkń, is the city of Tungchau, where all boats unload their passengers aud cargoes, proceeding by a broad avenue twelve miles long to the capital.

There are several lakes in this province; the Tungting the Taluh-tseh 大陸澤, and the Ning-tsin peh 寧省油

in the south-western part connects with the last and the Pei ho through the river Hu-to

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　The Pei ho or White River, is the largest stream between the Yellow River and the Great Wall, and with a branch called the Sángkien ho

drains all that part of the plain east of Shansí, and south of the edge of the table land. There are besides those, the Chang and the Chin

rivers.

Tsz'yá, the Jeh, Lwán

Province of Shantung.

Shantung i. e. East of the Hills, anciently called Tsí and Lú, is a mountainous country,Ithe coast being bold and well indented. The whole surface of the province is intersected by rivers at no great distance from each other. It is bounded north and east by the sea, -west by Chiklí, and south by Kiángsí. The Tátring ho is the largest river in the province. The Grand Canal commences at Lintsing chau ; from this point north to Tientsin, the communication is along the -channel of a branch of the Pei Ho. The native maps point out numerous harbors and bays, which ́are almost unknown to foreigners. Shántung is about six times the size of Wales in Great Britain, or the same as that of Georgia.in the United States.

The capital of this province is Tsfrín fú in lat. 36° 44′ 24′′ N. and long. 117° 07′ 30′′ E. The city of Kiuhfau hien, distinguished as being the birthplace of Confucius is situated in this province ; here the Chinese have erected various monuments to the mémory of the sage. One of the most important towns is Lintsing chau on the Yü ho at its junction with the Grand canal in lat. 36° 57′ 15′′ N., and long. 115° 55 E. This place is the dépôt for much of the pro" duce brought on the Canal, and is consequently a rendezvous för fleets of boats and barges. The city of Tangchau fú, lying on thẻ northern shore of the promontory, has some trade with Liáutung and Corea, but the commerce of Shántung is less than that of thè other maritime provinces.

　　The rivers of this province are the Tatsing ho, Siáutsing ha, Kü-lái ho, Muh ho, ho, Weiho in the east,

　　　Eid and Weiho in the western part of the province, and several other small rivers. In the southern part is a lake called the Tuð shan Lake. One of the highest mountains in China, called Ti shan, is situated dear the provincial capital. It is a rendezvous for devotees, and every sect has there its temples and idols, scattered about its sides, in which priests chant their prayers, and practice thousand superstitions to attract pilgrims to their shrines.

Shansi

Province of Shánsí.

　　　　　　　　　ie. West of the Hills, anciently known by the names of Tsin and Chau, is bounded on the east by Chilli and Ho- nán; on the south by Honán; on the west by Shénsí, and on the north by Chahar in Mongolia, from which the Great Wall divides it. The whole western and half of the southern boundary are formed by the Yellow River. The province is nearly in the form of a

　　· parallelogram, of which the river is one of the longest sides. Shándí Dis mountainous, has no lakes, but numerous rivers. The Yellow

river runs for 180 miles through the province.

> > The capital of Shánsí, Tüyuen fú, lies on the eastern bank of the Fan ho in lat. 37° 53′ 30′′ N and long. 142° -30′ 30′′ E. The city is populous, and contains manufactures of felt carpets.

Another city about equal to the capital in size and importance is Pingyang fúé in lut. 36° 06′ N. and long. 111° 33′ E. ... ·| Besides these there are but few cities worthy of note in this province, which holds a middling position with the other provincos of China.

　　　　Besides the Yellow river, which forms a part of its boundary, the province is intersected by several smaller rivers, among which are the Hü-to River, which flows easterly into the Pei ho in Chihli, thẻ Tsin K and the Fan ho whicħ pass from north to south near the centre of the province, and empty into the Yellow river. The Sángkien ho drains the northern part of Shansi near the Wall, in that region are some lakes.

Shánsí is remarkable as being the original seat of the Chinese people; and many of the places mentioned, aud scenes recorded in their ancient annals, are found within its borders.

Province of Honán.

Hanani. e. South of the River, anciently called Yen and Yü, the central region of China, borders to the north on Chiblí, Shansi and Shantung, south upon Húpeh, east upon Kiángnán (Kiángsi and Ngánhwui), and west upon Sheusi, Its greatest limite to the north, are lat. 37°; to the south 31° 30′; to the west 6° 20 west of Peking; and to the east 25′ east of Peking. The northern part stretches into the provinces of Chihli and Shantung. The Yellow river runs through its whole breadth, The rivers in the north are the Cháng Ho, and Wei Ho; in the south there

is the Hwái tho the Ko ho, the Shaho with several othere which flow eastward into Ngánhwui. The Lobho is thẹ largest tributary of the Yellow R. on the south. The capital Kái, fung fú lies near the Yellow river, and has been submerged two ar three times by its overflowing.

Káifung fu, the capital of Honán, is situated in lat. 34° 52′ 05′′ N, and long. 114° 33′ E., 'about a league from the southern bank of thẹ Yellow river, whose bed is here elevated above, the adjacent coun- try, and consequently in danger from the freshes and bursting away of the river's banks. This city is noted as the principal seat of the Jews in China, of whose preseut coudition and numbers little, is known; aud also as the capital of Fuhhí the founder of the Chinese monarchy.

The city of Honán having the same name as the province, is in fat. 34° 43′ 15 N. and long. 112' 27′ 40′′ E, . The Chinese formerly believed it to be in the middle of their empire. Tangfung hien in ́this departmeut is famous for the tower built there by the celebrated #stronomer Chukung. This person lived more than a thousand years ›before Christ, and the Chinese ascribe the mariner's compass to him.

　　　The province of Honán on account of its fine climate and fertile soil, has been called by the Chinese Chung Hưá, the Central Flower, It has been also denominated the Garden of China,

Provinces of Kiáng sú and Ngánhwui., The provinces of Kiángsú and 'Ngánhwui were formerly united under the name af Kiángnán; the territory thus formed is bounded north by Shintung and Honán; south by Kingsí and Chehkiảng; on the east by the Yellow Sea; on the west by Húpeh and Húuán. The country extends from lat. 29° to 35° 8′ N. and from 5° 10′ east of Peking to 1° 30′ west. The rivers are mostly tributary to the Yángtsz' Kiáng, or to the river Hwái. Those that flow into the last come from Honîn, and run to the southeast. Mountains are seen in the southern part of the province; and the ranges form the highlands on each side of the Great River, where many of the streams have their sources. The coast is low and flat. The country for ten miles intand is alluvial soil. The only island along the seacoast of any height is Táishín, to the north of the Yellow River, in lat. 34° 40′; and this is intersected by a double ridge of hills. The province is about half as large as Spain.

　　　The city of Nanking, or Kiángning fú the former capital of the empire, lies in låt. 32° 04′ 40′′ N. and long.' 118° 47 E., at the dis- tance of 2445 li from Peking. It contains t he celebrated porcelain tower, called by the Chinese the Requiring Favor Monastery, built A. D. 1430; and is the most remarkable edifice of the kind in China. It is also noted as the place of signing the Treaty between the Chinese and English at the termination of the late war in 1842. Like Peking it is divided into two portions, one inhabited by the Chinese, and the other by Manchus. Its population has been estimated at 400,000. Though it has lost much of its ancient grandeur, it is ́stifl' one of the most important cities of the empire, and is distin- guished for the extent and variety of its manufactures, for its scholars and learning.

In the same province is the city of Sáchau in lat. 31° 23′ 25′′: N., 'and long. 120′ 251 E., 2720 li from Peking, and a famous city in China for luxury and the arts. The population is reckoned to be not far 'from two millions. The city is situated on islands lying in Great Lake, 'and is surrounded by a wall about ten miles in length. The Chinese regard it as one of their richest and most beautiful cities, and con- cerning this city and Hangehau fu in Chehking have a saying that

　　　"above is Paradise, and below are Sú and Háng." It is distin- guished for the variety and number of its manufactures, the splendor of its buildings, the elegance of its tombs, the picturesque scenery of its waters and gardens, the politeness and intelligence of its ių babitants, and the beauty of its women.

The largest seaport in Kiángsú is Shánghái, which is already place of considerable foreign trade, aud promises erelong to becomę one of the leading emporia in Asia. It lies on the north shore of the Wúsung River, about fourteen miles from its month in lat, 31° 10′ N. and long. 121° 30′ E., at the junction of the Hwangpú with it, and by means of both streams communicates with Sáchau, Sung- king, and other large cities on the Grand Canal; while by the Yáng-tsz' kiáng it receives produce from Yunnáu and Sz'chuen. Shánghái is a walled town three miles in circuit, and having exten- sive suburbs. The city stands in a wide plain of extraordinary fertility, and intersected by numerous streamlets affording the meaus of navigation and communication.

The province of Ngánhwui, was so named by combining the first words in its two largest cities, Ngánking fú and Hwuichau fú, and forms the southwestern half of Kiángnán. It is rather larger than Kiángsú, and less of its surface is covered with water. Its produc tions and manufactures, the surface and high cultivation of the coun try, and character of the people, are very similar to those of Kiángsú, but the cities are less celebrated.

The provincial capital Ngánking fú, lies on the northern shore of the Yángtsz' kiáng in lat. 30° 37′ 10′′, N. and long. 117° 04′ 13′′ E. The streets are described as being, very narrow, and their shops un. attractive, the best being for the sale of horn lanterns and porcelain.

Hwuichau fú in the south-eastern part of the province, in lat. 29° 59′ 20′′ N. long. 118° 28′ 20′′ E., is celebrated for its excellent manufactures of ink and lackered-ware, which are sent to all parts of the empire.

　　　　Fungyángfú (the Rising Phenix), a town lying northwest of Nán- king on the river H vái, in lat. 32° 55′ 30′′ N. and long. 117° 29′ 56* E. was intended by Hungwú. the founder of the Ming dynasty, to have been the capital of the empire instead of Nanking, and was thus named in anticipation of its future splend ›r.

　　　　The principal rivers which flow through this territory are the Yang- tsz' kiáng and Yellow River. Beside these are the Hwai E, Ko Salt, Sinváng and various smaller rivers. In Kiángsú are the lung. sin, Kauyu, and Tai lakes, and the Tsan lake in Nganhwui.

i. e. West of the River, extends from lat. 244? to 30° 10′ N., and from long 2o E. to 3o W. of Pekingį; bounded north by Húpeh and Ngánhwui; east by Chehkiing and Fuhkien; soutli by Kwangtung; and west by Hunin. Its shape is irregular, lying north-east and south-west, with ranges of mountains dividing it froin Kwangtung and Fuhkien. On the northeastern border, the Yangtex kiáng leaves the province, after a course of about eighty miles along its northern froutier. The country is hilly and fertile. The whole of this province is formed by the basin of the R. Kán; its capital Nán, chẳng fü lies in the northern part of the province, near the Poyang lake. Its area is about the size of Virginia in the United States, of twice the size of Portugal. Its situation renders it an important province, for whoever has possession of the capital and towns along the shores of the lake, can command the commerce from north to south and along the Yángtsz' kiáng; it might be called the Key Province.

Nanchang fu, the capital of Kiángså, fies near the southern shore of the Poyang fake in lat. 28° 37′ 12" N. long. 115° 48′ 17′′ E. The city walls are six miles in circuit, and accessible by water from all sides. The trade of this city is chiefly in porcelain.

Jíuchaú fú is situated on the northern shore of the river Po which at little distance from this place empties into the Poyáng lake. The town of Kingteh chin, where are collected the most skillful workmen in porcelain, is very densely populated, and reckoned to contain ́about five hundred furnaces for the manufac- ture of the ware. This mart still supplies all the fine porcelain used in the country, and the small amount of fancy-ware now ex- ported to Europe and America.

Nrking fá is situated on the west side of the Poying lake. Near the place is the vale of the White Deer in the Lü hills, celebrated as being the place where Chú Hi, the great commentator upon Confu- cius lived and tanght, in the twelfth century. It is a place of pilgrims age for the Chinese literati of the present day, who esteem the works of this philosopher next to their ancient classics.

The principal rivers in this province are the Kan king, made by the junction of the Chang

and Kung rivers; the

Province of Fuhkien.

　　　　　Fukkien, anciently called Min, borders towards the north upon Chehkiáng, south upon Kwangtung, east upon the Ocean and the Formosa Channel ; and towards the northwest on Kiángsí. It extends from lat. 25° 35′ to 25° 47′ N. from long. 0° 22′ W. to long. 4° E. of Peking (Forinosa not included). The province is very mountainous. Its seacoast abounds with harbors, many of them spacious and safe ; the whole coast is mòre indented than any other maritime province. Not far from the main are several islands, the principal ones are Namoa, Yungshan, Hiámun (Amoy), Kinmun(Quemoy), and Háitán. The Min is the chief river; its branches extend over half the pro- vince, and unite in one channel below the city of Fuhchau. Nearly every branch of the Min has its fountain head within the boundaries of the province. Its area is about the same as that of the state of North Carolina.

　　　　　The capital of this province is Fubchau fú, or Hokchiú hú, as it is called by the inhabitants; it is situated in lat, 26° 5' N. and long. 119* 20′ E. on the north side of the Min, thirty-four miles from its mouth, and nine from Pagoda Island where the ships anchor. The city lies in a plain, through which the river runs, about three miles from the bauks. Suburbs extend from the walls to the river, and stretch along on its sides. They are connected with each other and a small islet in the river, by a stone bridge four hundred and twenty paces long, repising on forty solid stone piers on the northern side, and on nine similar ones on the south. The bridge is lined with sheps. The city has some inland coinmerce, and is distinguished for the number of its literati. The population of the city and suburbs has been reckoned at 600,000. The island in the river is densely settled by a trading population of 20,000.

Amoy, or Hiámun, is the most important and best known port in the province, and 140 years ago was the seat of a large foreign com- merce. It is a mart in the district of Tung-ngán, belonging to the department of Tsivenchau, situated in lat. 24° 40′ N. and long. 119° 20′ E., upon the south-western corner of the island of Amoy at the mouth of the Lung kiáng, or Dragon river, lea ling up to Cháng- chau fú. The island itself is about forty miles iu circumference, and contains about 120 villages, besides the city.

　　　　　The entire circuit of the city and suburbs is about eight miles, containing a population of 180,000, while that of the island is estimat.

　　ed at 100,000 more. Few cities are more favorably situated for access than Amoy, but its water communication with the interior is not so commodious. The harbor is one of the best on the coast.

　　　Taiuenchau fú, or Chinchew, ranks next to Fuhchau fú in wealth, and political importance.

　　　Beside the Min and its tributaries, there are but few rivers, worthy of note; two of the largest are the Tung ki and the Tá-shi✯✯, each of them having many smaller branches; the Lung ki 龍溪 near Chángchaur, and the Peb-shwui R. *

in the northeast, are the only other rivers of note. There are no lakes.

Province of Chehkiáng.

　　　Chehkiáng is of a circular form, extending from lat. 29° 30′ to 31° 20′ N. and from long 1° 48′ to 6° 30′ E. of Peking, and includes under its jurisdiction all the islands of the Chusan Archipelago. On the north it is bounded by Kiángsú; east by the sea; south by Fuh- kien; and west by Kiángst and Ngánhwui. The country is in general hilly. The rivers of the province are numerous, and most of them have an easterly course. The chief river is the Tsientang kiáng, a navigable river, near the mouth of which· Hángchau, the capital is situated. Further to the south, the Ngau kiáng and Nán kiáng flow into the sea. Its coasts are studded with islands, which extend as far as the Yangtsz' kiáng. The most important is the Chusan group, consisting of seventeen or eighteen islands, the largest of which, Chau shán, or Boat island, gives its name to the whole. It is the smallest of the eighteen provinces, and its area corresponds to that of Ohio, or a little larger than that of Ireland or Portugal.

Hángchau fú, the capital of this province, lies in the northern part, about two miles from the Tsientáng, on a plain, and forty or fifty miles from the mouth of the river. It is 3200 lá from Peking in lat. 32° 20′ 20′′ N. and long. 120° 07′ 34′′ E. Ouly a moiety of the inhabitants reside within the walls of the city, the suburbs and the waters around them supporting a large population. A portion of the space within the walls is divided off for the accommodation of the Mánchú garrison, which consists of 7000 troops. The governor- general of Chehkiáng and Fuhkien resides here, and also the go. vernor of the province, which, with their courts and troops, in addi- tion to the great trade passing through it, render it one of the most important and richest cities in the empire. In its population, luxury,

wealth, and influence, Hángchau rivala Súchau, and for excellence of manufactures and beauty of position probably exceeds it. This city was the metropolis of the country during the latter princes of the Sung dynasty. It maintained its splendor during the sway of the Mongols, but began to decline when Hungwú made Nánking his capital. The manufactures of silk are those for which it is most celebrated abroad.

　　　　The city contains among other public buildings a mosque, bearing an inscription in Arabic, stating that it is a temple for Museulmen when traveling, who wish to consult the Koran. There are also several others in the city, it being the stronghold of Islamism in China. This city is the same as the famous Kinsai mentioned by Macao Polo. Its population is estimated at more than a million.

　　　　Ningpo fú is the next important eity to Hnágchau in consequence of its foreign relations. It is well situated for trade and influence at the junction of three streams in lat. 29° 55′ N. and long. 121° 22′ E.' The river thus formed called Tátsieh (erroneously written Tahiáb), flows on to the ocean eleven and a half miles distant. Its population has been estimated at from one fourth to one third of a million, or even more including all the suburban and floating inhabitants. It is moreover an ancient city, and its anpals afford very full informa- tion upon subjects which interest the Chinese antiquarian.

　　　　The circumference of the walls is about five miles. The govern- ment of the city is in the hands of a prefect, who also oversees the whole department. An intendant of circuit, superior to the prefect, has an office in Ningpo; but the immediate superintendance of the city is in the hands of the district magistrate of Kin, assisted by a police and military force. The most striking building in the city is the Tien-fung ták, or Celestial-Offering Pagoda, or Tower of Ningpo; a hexagonal seven-storied building, upwards of 160 feet high, which, according to the annals of the city, was first erected 1100 years ago, though during this period it has been destroyed and rebuilt several times. Its preservation is considered necessary to protect the fortunes of the city. The most elegantly furnished edifice in the city is a temple dedicated to the popular goddess Má Tsúpú, the Amphitrite of Chinese mythology; it was founded by Fuhkien men in the 12th century, but the present structure was erected in 1690, and largely endowed through the liberality of its patrons.

The Chusan archipelago belongs to the department of Ningpo, and forms a single district, of which Tinghái is the capital. The district town of Tinghái lies in lat. 30° N. and long. 122° 54′ E. in the valley, of Yungtung, half a mile from the beach. It is connected with the shipping by a causey running from the gate to the suburb of Tá Tautau, where is the custom-house and principal landing-place, and by two canals deep enough for boats. The plain of Tinghái is about 24 miles from east to west, and the ridges of hills which define it are from 400 to 650 feet high. The suburb of Táutau ́runs along the beach, forming a long street off which the shipping lies. The harbor of Tinghái is one of the best on the coast, and accessible by three: or four passages. The tides rise and fall at times 12 feet, but; ordinarily 6 or 7 feet. The island of Chusan contains eighteen of the twenty-four chưáng or townships in the district, each of which is under the direction of constables, police-men, village elders, and assessors of taxes, who are responsible to the district magistrate.

The island of Puto and a few smaller ones are independent of the jurisdiction of the magistrate of Tinghai, being ruled by the abbot of the head monastery. This establishment, and that on Golden Is. land in the Yangtsz' kiáng, are among the richest and most exten- sively patronized of all the monasteries belonging to the Budhists in China. The island of Puto is narrow, 3§ miles in length, and lies 11⁄2 miles from the eastern point of Chusan. It is covered with sixty monasteries, pavilions, temples, and other buildings, appropriated to religious uses, in which at least 2,000 priests chant the praises of their gods.

　　　The district towns of Funghwa and Tsz'kí, lying west of Ningpo, were the scenes of skirmishes between the English and Chinese in December 1841, when large bodies of imperialists were routed and driven back upon Hángchau fú.

　　　A town of considerable importance and trade in this province is Chapú in the department of Kiahing. It lies about fifty miles up the coast north-west from Chinhái, across Hángchau bay, and is connected with that city through a luxuriant plain by a well paved causeway about thirty miles long. Chapu is the port of Hángchau, and the only one in China whence trade is carried on with Japan. In

size it is next to those of Shanghái and Tientsin. It was attacked, and much injured by the British forces in May, 1842, but abandoned immediately after the engagement.

South-west from Chapú lies the old town of Canfú, called Kanpu by the Chinese, which was was once the port of Høngchau, but is now- deserted. This place is mentioned in the voyages of two Arabian travelers in the ninth century, as the chief port of China where all shipping centred. Mention is also made of it in the travels of Marco Polo, Canfu was destroyed by insurrectionists, which catastrophe drove away the foreign trade from it to Canton, where it afterwards remain- ed; and what trade bas since arisen has gone to Chapú.

The rivers in Chehkiáng like those in Kiángsí, have their rise in the province; and as might be inferred from the position of the hills, their course is generally short and the currents rapid. Fourteen principal streams are enumerated, of which the Tsientang is the most important.

Provinces of Húpeh and Húnán.

　　　　Húkwáng, now divided into Húpch and Húnán, is bounded north by the province of Honán; south by Kwangtung and Kwangsi; east by Ngánhwui and Kiángsí; and west by Shensi, Sz'chuen, and Kweichau; it extends from lat. 24° 45′ to 33° 20′ N. and from long. 0° 20' to 8° W. of Peking. It is divided by the Yangtz' kiáng into two provinces, the northern and largest of which is called Húpeh, the southern Hunan. The Yangtsz' kiáng in its serpentine course receives the Hán kiáng. There are several rivers which flow into the great depression near the city of Hányáng, and the lakes in this part are very numerous, and have given the name to the province. The area of the united province is about that of Ger- man Austria and Prussia, or that of S. Carolina, Georgia and Ala- bama united.

　　　　The capital of Húpeh, Wúcháng fú, lies on the Yángtsz' kiáng, where the river Hán joins it, and opposite to Hányáng fú. It is situated in lat. 30° 34′ 50′′ N. and long 114° 13′ E. These two cities together with the suburb of Hankan, below the latter, probably present in connection with the shipping before them, one of the largest assemblages of houses and vessels, inhabitants and sailors, to be found anywhere in the world; London and Yedo alone can compete with it. The number of vessels of the largest size exceeds ten thousand, while the multitude of small craft and ferry-boats

　　　Among the other cities in this province is Kingchau in lat. 30° 26′‍40′′ N. long. 112° 04′ 50′′ E., and one of the most important from its position on the Yangtsz' kiáng where it enters the Lake country, a farge garrison is maintained here. Siáng-yáng fú on the river Hán in fat. 32° 05′ N., and long. 113′ 05′ 16′′ E. is celebrated in ancient Chinese history.

The capital of Húnán, Chángshá fú lies in the north-east part, on the river Siáng in lat. 28° 12′ N. long, 112° 49′ 57′′ E. Every pre- fecture of the province is accessible by water from it through the lake. Yohchau fú, on the eastern side of the lake at the junction with this river, is the thoroughfare for all goods passing up and down the King. The surface of this and other lakes is enlivened by fishing-boats of various forms, some of them carrying cormorants ;. by large rafts carrying houses upon them, in which numerous families find a home; and by oddly shaped vessels transporting passengers and merchandise in different directions. Pirates infest both the lakes and streams, who do not confine themselves to depredations upon the water, but land and levy black mail upon the villages, The city of Chángshá is said to have been the place where the festi- val of Dragon Boats originated. In the south-western parts of the province, aboriginal hill tribes exist, who not seldom prove a source of trouble to the imperial government. An insurrection broke out in that region and in Kwangtung in 1832, which caused the governors of the two provinces much trouble to quell it, and cost the governor- general of Kwangtong his office.

The Yangtsz' kiáng passes through the southern part of Hópeh; the Hán kiáng, and its numerous tributaries, flow into it on the north, and the Tsingkiáng on the south; these with some small streams flowing into the Great river, are the rivers of Húpeh. The Siang, Yueu and Tsz kiáng, with many branches, are in Hunan. The Tungting the largest lake in China, lies in the northeast part of Hunan. In the southern part of Lupeh are the Jakes

Provinces of Shensi and Kánsuh.

Shemsi (west of the Paw) aud Kánsuk, previous to the reign of Kienlung, formed but one province. The territory thus formed ex- sends from lat. 32° to 40′ N., and long 5o 5′ to 17° W. of Peking. It borders to the north upon Inner Mongolia, to the south upon Húpah and Sz'chuen; to the east upon Shání, and to the west upon Mongolia and Soungaria. The Great Wall runs along its northeru frontiers. Several mountain ridges pass through Sbensí. The

Yellow river flows along the Great Wall, crossing it twice before entering Mongolia. The Wei Hog one of the largest rivers in China, flows into the Yellow River in lat 34° 40′. The Loh ho are two large tributaries of the

same falling into it further north.

'The capital of Shensi, Sí.ngán fú, situated in lat. 34° 16′ 45′′ N. long. 108° 57′ 45′′ E. is renowned as the metropolis of the empire in the Tang dynasty, and is still much the largest city in this part of the country, containing some remains of its former grandeur. This eity is celebrated abroad as the place where an ancient monu. ment of the Nestorian missionaries in China was discovered. The governor-general of this and Kansub province resides here, having under his control a large body of troops. Of the remaining towns, Hánchung fú in the west, on the Hán river is the largest. Its latitude is 32° 56′ 10′′ N. long. 107° 12′ 25′′ E. The city of Yülin fú in lat. 38° 18′ 08′′ N, and long, 109° 22′ 30′′ E. is the station of a force to overrule the Mongols beyond the Great Wall, and receive the peltry brought in from that region.

　　　　The capital of Kánsuh is Lánchau fú in lat. 36° 08^ 24" N. and long 103° 55′ E. on the south side of the Yellow River. At Síning fú, in lat. 36° 39′ 20′′ N. long. 100° 48′ E. the governor of Koko-nor has his residence. Ninghia fû in the north-east part of the provonce in lat. 38° 32′ 40′′ N. and long, 106° 07′ 30′′ E. is the largest town on the borders of the desert. The pass called Kiayü kwán is gradually rising in importance from its being the first settlement when coming in from the desert. Duties are levied here, and a garrison maintain. ed. West of this pass lie the towns of Barkoul, Hami, Turfan, and Oroumtsi, with other settlements, ruled partly by Chinese officers, and partly by the chieftains of the various tribes. Oroumtsi is more than two thousand miles from Peking, and the communication be. tween them is constant,

Sz'chuen is the westernmost and largest of the Chinese provincës ; it extends from lat. 25° 57′ to 33° N. and froin long. 6° 50′ to 15° 43 W. of Peking. It borders to the north upon Shensí; to the south upon Yuunán and Kweichau; to the west upon the territory of the Koko-nor Tartars, and to the east upou Hókwáng. The Yaugisz' kiáng and its large tributaries traverse this province; the largest is on the west; the Min h, the To and the Pei, with their branches, water the eastern parts. Its area is nearly equal to that of all the Eastern and Middle states in the United States, or about that of Spain.

　　　Chingtú fú, the capital of Sz'chuen, lies on the Min river in lat. 30° 40′ 41′′ N. and long. 103' 101′ E. near the centre of the province in a well watered plain. It was once a city of note, but suffered so much by the Manchu conquest that it has not regained its former splendor. The environs of this city are well watered, and brought under a high state of cultivation. The city of Páuning fú is situated on the north bank of the Kiáling, in lat. 31° 32′ 24′′ N. long. 105° 58′ 30′′ E.

in the east of the province.

Canton, or Kwángchau fú, the provincial capital lies on the north bank of the Pearl River in lat. 23° 8′ 10′′ N. and long. 113° 14′ 30′′ E., nearly parallel with Havana, Miskat and Calcutta; its climate is however colder than that of either of those cities. The word Canton is a corruption of Kwangtung, derived in English from Kamtom, the Portuguese mode of writing it. The citizens them- selves usually call it Kwangtung Sang-ch'ing, i. e. the Kwángtung Provincial Metropolis, or simply Sung-ching. Another name is the City of Rams, and a third the City of Genii, both derived from an- cient legends. It lies at the foot of the White Cloud Hills along the low banks of the river, about seventy miles north of Macao in a direct liue, and ninety north-west of Hongkong. The population is estimated at somewhat less than a million.

Fatshán is a large town without walls on a branch of the Pearl River, twelve or fourteen miles above Canton. Its manufactures and trade are extensive, and it is said to contain more people and houses than Canton itself. It is about ten miles in circumference, and is reckoned to contain a million of inhabitants. This city and Canton are often designated together by their citizens as the Two Boroughs.

The island of Hongkong belonged originally to the province of Kwangtung. The peninsula of Macao is still within its jurisdiction. The island of Shangchuen or Sancian where Xavier died, belongs to this province. Lilies south-west of Macao about thirty miles, and is sometimes visited by devout persons from that place.

The city of Shauchau fú iu the northern part of the province, in lat, 24° 55′ N. long, 113° 08′ 30′′ E., and Shauking fú on the Pearl River west of Canton, in lat. 23° 04′ 48′′ N, long 112° 04′ E. are among the most important cities of the province.

The West river takes its rise in Yunnan, and drains the northern part of Kwangsí, while through the North river all the superfluous waters in the north and western parts of the province flow off, and through the East river those in the northeastern districts. Canton is thus easily accessible from all parts of the province. Many small streams dis- charge their waters into the ocean along the whole southern coast.

DEPENDENCIES OF THE CHINESE EMPIRE.

The portions of the Chinese empire beyond the limits of the Eighteen Provinces, though of far greater extent, are comparatively of minor importance. Their vast regions are peopled by races whose languages are mutually unintelligible, and whose tribes are held together under the Chinese sway rather by interest and recip- rocal hostilities or dislike, than by force. European geographers have termed all that space lying north of Tibet to Siberia, and east of the Tsungling to the Pacific, Chinese Tartary; while the coun-

by which the inhabitants themselves call them. From their ignorance of scientific geography, the Chinese have no general designations for extensive countries, long chains of mountains, or devidus rcivers, but apply many names, where if they knew more they would be content with one. The united area of these countries amounts tồ 3,951,130 square miles, or a little more than all Europe; the areas of each can not be exactly given. Manchuria contains about 700,000 square miles; Mongolia between 1,300,000 and 1,500,000; I'lí about 1,070,000; and Tibet from 500,000 to 700,000 square miles. These countries, it may be added, have divisions and capitals in the same manner as the provinces, though these can not be regarded as definite- ly settled.

Manchuria.

　　　Manchuria comprises all the most eastern portion of the high table land of Central Asia, and lies between latitudes 42° and 58° N, and longitudes 120° and 142° E. It is bounded on the north by the Yablonoi-khrebet or Outer Hingngan

Mis., which sepa-

rate it from the Russian province of Yakoutsk; east by the Channel of Tartary and sea of Japan; south by Corea and the gulf of Peh- chihli; south-west by the Great Wall; west by Mongolia and the luner Hing-ngán or Sialkoi mountains; and north-west by the Ker- lon river and Daourian mountains. The limits between it and Mongolia are marked by a palisade running northeast for more than two degrees to Songari river, and down that stream to latitude 46°, and thence by its branch the Khailar, north-westerly to the Sialkoi, and north to the Daourian ranges. Only a small portion of this vast region has ever been traversed by Europeans, and most of it is a wilderness. It is estimated that the population may be more than 2,000,000 in all, though it has not been accurately determined by a regular census. It is ruled by boards and generals at the garrisons. Manchuria is comprised mostly within the valleys of the Songari and Sagalien rivers in the north, and the Liáu river in the south. There are three principal mountain chains, the Sih-hih-tih in the south- eastern part, the Yablonoi-khrebet in the north, and the Inner Hing. ngan range in the west. The southern extremity of the Sih-hih-tih range bears the name of Cháng Peh shin, or Long White mountains, The whole country north of the Long White mountains is drained by the Sagalien (which has also the names Amur, Kwantung

and Hehlung

kiáng) and its tributaries. The source of this

river is in lat. 30° N. long, 110' E. It is here called the Ornon. Ių its course it is joined by the Ingoda, Argun A†, Songari fa✯E, Noune, and Hourha, and after the junction with the latter, takes the name of Kwantung, which receiving many small and one large stream, the Usuri, empties into the Gulf of Sagalien in lat. 53° N. and long. 143 E. Its entire length is nearly 2,200 miles, and the area of the country drained by it is about 900,000 square miles.

There are three considerable lakes in Manchuria, the Huron F

and Pirou the west of the Sialkoi, and the Hinkai

nor in the valley of the Usuri. Southeast of the Desert and

north of the Great Wall is the Síra-muren or Liáu river. This is

joined by the Hwang Ho in Shingking, and after a course of 400 miles empties into the gulf of Liautung. The Yáhluh runs along the northern frontiers of Corea.

Manchuria is divided into three provinces, Shing king,

kiáng

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　or Heh lung kiáng. The capital of Manchuria is Moukden; its Chinese name is Fung- tien ff. It is also known by the name of Shingking. It lies in lat. 41° 404.N. and long 123° 37′ E. on a branch of the Liáu, about 500 miles northeast from Peking. The town is surrounded by a wall about ten miles in length, inclosing another wall which separates the emperor's residence from the town. This part of the city is three miles in circumference. The palace and the buildings connected with it, the government offices and courts, and the grounds within it, are all arranged on a plan similar to those at Peking. It was called Moukden, which signifies flourishing, by the Manchu monarchs in 1631, when they made it the seat of their government, and the empe- rors have since done everything in their power to enlarge and beautify it, but with only partial success.

　　　　　The town of Hingking, sixty miles east of Moukden, is one of the favored places in Shingking, from its being the family residence of the Manchu monarchs and the burial-gound of their ancestors. It is pleasantly situated in a mountain valley, and the tombs are upon a mountain three miles north of it called Tsz'yun shán. The circuit of the wall is about three miles.

　　　　　Kinchau is the port of Moukden, fifteen leagues from it, and carries on a considerable trade in cattle, pulse and drugs. The harbor is described as shallow and exposed to southern gales. - Kaicháu, an- other port lying on the east side of the Gulf, possesses a better harbor, but is not so much froqueuted. Most of the other towns in Shing-

king have no claim to any higher appellation than that of garrisons or hamlets. Funghwang ting" is 'the frontier town on the east lying near the Yähluh kiáng, and commjanding all the trade with Corea which must pass through' it.

The Province of Kirinor Grin, comprises all the country hortheast of Shingking, bordering on the sea 'df Japan and gulf of Tartary. This extensive region is thinly settled by Manchus, and by tribes having affinity with them. They have been called the Kiching Tartars, and Yripi Tartars, and other names by Du Halde. 'Twe› Ghailiks and other tribes on the coast are hardly known to the Chinese geographers, aut are completely independent, 22 at pealt van

　　　Kirin is divided into three ruling ting departments, or command- eries, viz., Kirin ula, or the gaṛrison of Kirin, Petuné or Pedné, and Changchun ting. Of these. Kirin is the largest, it is situated ou the Songari in lat. 43° 45′ N, and long. [26° 25′ E

Ninguta lying east of Kirim, upon the river Hourha in lat. 44° 59′ N, and long 125° 10′ E, is the largest town in the province.

　　　The island of Tarakai or Sagalien lies off the mouth of the Kwan- tung,, extending about 600 miles from lat. 46° to 54° and varying from twenty-five to one hundred miles in width. It area is about 30,000 square miles. ! །*

　　　The chief town in the commandery of Petuné lies on the Songari near its junction with the Sagalien ip lat. 45° 10′ N., and long. 124° 40 E. It is inhabited by troops and persons banished from China for crime. It is a place of considerable trade.

　　　The commandery of Cháng-chun is small. It lies west of Kirin and south of Petuné. Altchoucu and Larin are two garrisoned towns in Ki- rin, which have attracted some of the trade on the Songari and Amur,

The province of Tsi-tsi-har, or Hehlung kiáng, comprises the north- west part of Manchuria, extending 400 miles from east to west, and about 1200 from north to south. Its area is about 200,000 square miles. It is divided into six commanderies, viz., Tsi-tsi-har, Hulan, Puteh, Merguen, Sagalien ula and Hurun-pir, whose officers have control over the tribes within their limits. Sagalien ula, or Hehlung kiáng ch'ing, on the river of that name, is the chief town in the northeast districts, and is used by the government of Peking as a penal settlement,

　　　Tai-tsi-har, the capital of the province, lies on the river Nonni in lat. 47° N., and long, 1231⁄2 E., and is a place of some trade, resorted to by tribes near the river. It was built in 1692 by Ķinghi to overawe the neighboring tribes.

Mongolia.

Mongolia is the first in order of the colonies, by which are meant those parts of the empire under the control of the Li-fan yeun, or Foreign Office. It comprises the regions lying between lats. 35° and 52° W. aud longs. 82° and 123 E. Its length is about 1700 miles, and 1000 miles its greatest breadth, inclosing an area of 1,400,000 square miles. The population is estimated at two millions. "The chief mountains of this region are, 1.' The Altai, or Kin shẩu

and long. 107° E., and curve N. N. E. and northward as far as the Sagalien in lat. 53° N., where they join the Altai.

The rivers of Mongolia are numerous chiefly in the north,

　　　　which unite and flow into lake Baikal. The Kerlon and Onon flow, northeast through Mongolia. In the south are the Sira-mureu and its branches which unite in the Liáu river, besides several rivers in the region of Koko Nor. The chief lakes south of the desert are the Koko Noror Azure Sea, and the Oling and Dzaring near the sources of the Yellow River. Cobdo, in the north-west, abounds in lakes, the principal being the Upsa Nor and Altai Nor on the east, Alak Nor on the south, and ĺki-aral, near which lies the town of Cobdo.

The country about Koko Nor, between Kausuh, Sz'chuen aud Tibet. and 4. The de- pendencies of Uliasutai, lying northwest of the Kalkas khanates. The whole have been included under the name of Tartary. The three tribes the Kalkas, the Tsakhars and Sounites, now constitute the great body of Mongols under Chinese rule.

The divisions of Inner Mongolia are not marked with any distincts ness, the nomads which inhabit it wandering about with their flocks for pasturage within the limits prescribed by the Chinese. The whole

region is divided amongst six corps and twenty-four tribes, which are again placed under forty-nine standards, commanded by hereditary princes. Outer Mongolia, a yast region of deserts, mountains, plains and valleys, is partitioned among four khans, under whom are many officers, The Tsetsen khanate lies the most easterly, next jp Tai-tsi- har; the Tuchétu khanate, the largest of the four, extends across from Russia towards Peking; southwest of it is the the region of the Sain-noin Kalkas,; and northwest of it lies, the Dzassaktu khanate, the least important of the whole,

191

West of these two last, between longs, 84° and 96° E, and reaching north as far as Russia, lie the divisions of Uliasútai and its dependen- cies, Cobdo, and the Tangnu Mis., where twenty-five tribes of Hie Uliánghai, or Uriyangkit, Kalkas live. This region is fittle known to Europeans, and sparsely inhabited. The superintending officer lites at Uliasutai on the R. Selenga.

27/

The largest town in Mongolia is Kurun, situated in the Tuchétu khanate in lat. 48° 20′ N., long. 1071° E., on the Tola river, a branch of, the Selenga.

The trade with Russia is carried on at Kiakáta, a hamlet on a creek of the same name, lat. 50° 21 N., and long. 100° 23′ E., close to the border, the boundary line marked by granite columns running between it and Mai-mai Chin on the Chinese side.

　　　The province of Tsinghai, or Koko Nor, is not included in "Mon- golia by European geographers, nor in the Chinese statistical works is it comprised within its limits. The inhabitants are however most- ly Mongols, and the government is conducted on the same plan as that over the Kalkas tribes further north. This region is known in the histories of Central Asia under the names of Tangont, Sifan, Turfan, &c. On Chinese maps it is called Tsinghai, but in their books is named St Vũ or Si Yih, i. e. Western Limits. Within its limits there are several large lakes, of which the ́Azure Sea is the largest. This country is occupied by the Eleuths, Tourbeths, Tour- gouths, Hoshoits, Kalkas and other tribes, and governed by a Manchu general residing at Síning fú in Kánsuh. The capital Sining fú is situated in lat. 36° 39′ N. and long. 100° 48' E. Barkoul or Chitisi fú in lat. 43° 40′ N., long. 94o E., is the most important place in the department. A thousand Manchus and three thousand Chinese guard the post.

Ili.

IL is nearly equal in extent to Mongolia. It extends from lat. 36* to 49° Ñ., and from long. 71° to 96* E. It is divided by the Tien Shan or Celestial Md., into two parts called Lú or Circuits, viz., the Tien-shin Peh Lu and the Tien-shan Nán Ló.

TIEN-SHAN PEH-LU is divided by the Chinese into three com- manderies.flí on the west, Tarbagatai on the north, and Kúr-kara usu on the east between Ili and Oroumtsi in Kansuh. The govern- ment is under the control of military officers residing at ĺlí. This city, called by the Chinese Hwiyuên ching, and Gouldja or Kuldsha and Kura by the natives, lies on the north bank of the Ílí river, in lat. 43° 46′ N. and long. 821° E. The number of inhabitants is about 50,000. The two remaining districts, Tarbagatai and Kúr-kara usu are sinall compared with fli. The chief town of the former is called Toguchuk by the Kirghis, and Suitsing ch'ing by the Chinese. At this post there are about 2500 Manchu and Chinese troops. Kur- kara usu lies on the river Kúr, north-east from Kuldsha. It is called Kingsui ch'ing by the 'Chinese. The total population of this country. is estimated at less than two millions.

　　　　TIEN-SHAN NAN-LU was named Sin Kiang by Kienlung, and has been called Little Bokhara, and Chinese or Eastern Turkestan by fo- reigners. This is the country of the Eight Mohammedan cities," which are named as follows: Harashar, Ushi, (incluing Sairim and Bai), Oksu, Khoten, Yarkand, Kashgar and Yingkeshar.

　　　　Harashar lies on the Kaidu river, in lat. 42° 15' N. long. 87° E.. Kurli lies south-west of Harashar on the Kaidu, and Bukur is two hundred miles west of Kurli.

　　　　Kuché, one hundred miles west of Bukur, is lat 41° 37′ W. long. 8255′ E., is a larger and more important city than Harashar.

Ushi lies in the valley of the Okṣu in lat., 41° 35′ N. long. 77° 50 E. It is said to contain 10,000 inhabitants. In Chinese it is called Yungning ching.

　　　　Kashgar is situated on the Kashgar river in lat. 39° 25' N. long. 75° E. This place is the emporium of the commerce of Central Asia. It's population is estimated at '80,000.

Yarkand or Yerkiang, which may be termed the capital of the Southern Circuit, lies on the river of that name in lat. 38° 19' N. and long. 76° 10′ E.

Khoten, called fichi on Chinese maps, is situated on the sou theru side of the Desert in an extensive plain on the Khoten river in

lat. 37° N. and long. 80° E. The town of Karakash Jies a few miles northwest, and is said by traders to be the capital rather than fichi. The principal rivers of the country of Ili are the Tarim, Kara-kash, Khoten, Yarkand, Kashgar, fli, Yamanyar, Kaidu and Charituz. Besides them there are numerous smaller streams. The important lakes are the Dzaisang,, Kizilbash, Kaltar, Alak-tukul, Temurtu, Bostang, Baba or Mapa-hissa, Yechil-kul or Green lake, and lake, Sairim.

Tibet.

　　　TIBET the third great division of the Chinese colonies is less known than ĺlí, but its area is hardly less extensive. The Chinese call the country Si Tsáng, and divide it into Tsien Tsáng

and Hau Tsáng, i. e. Hither and Farther Tibet.

　　　Hlassa the capital of Tibet, is situated on the Dsangtsu, about twelve leagues from its junction with the Yaru-tsangbu in lat. 29° 30' N., and long. 91° 40′ E. and is the largest town in this part of Asia. This city is the head-quarters of Budhism, and the hierarchy of lamas, who by means of the dalai-lama, and his subordinate the kú- taktu, exercise priestly control over nearly all Mongolia as well as Tibet. There are numerous convents in and near it.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　The popula- tion of H'lassa is conjectured to be 24,000. That of the province is reckoned by Csoma at about 650,000

　　　The capital of Tsáng or Farther Tibet is Zhikatsé-jung or Teshu-h'lumbu, twenty-six miles west of H'lassa, the monastic resi- dence of the teshu-lama or banchin-erdeni.

But the country

LADAK is the name of a third division of Tibet. is not subject to China. Leh, its capital, is situated in lat. 44° 10′, N. long. 77° 45 E.

　　　The largest river in Tibet is the Dzangbu, Erechumba or Yaru- tsangbu. Its tributaries on the north are numerous, and among them the Wauk-tsangbu and Dzangtsu are the largest. Naka, Djadak, Dogh, Wei-tsu, Lautsan kiạng are the names of some of the other more important rivers. The Yih or Iki, Paha, Chapu, Sangbu, Tarok, Dsisak, Rab, Siranlosa, Tenkiri, Bouka, Kura, Sangri, Ravanḥrad, Yamo-rouk, Pangkung and Wular, are the names of the principal lakes.

The government of Hither Tibet is in the hands of the dalai- lama and his hierarchy, overseen by Chinese residents. Further Ti- bet is ruled by the teshu-lama, assisted by a resident from Peking.

The period of new year is almost the only time of universal holiday, in China, Other times and seasons are regarded,only, by a few, or by particular. classes, but the new year is accompanied with a general cessation from bus- iness. The officer, the merchant and the laborer, all equally desist from work, and zealously engage in visiting and feasting,occasionally making offerings at the temples of those deities whose peculiar aid they wish to implore. Gdverns ment offices are nominally closed for about ten days before, and twenty days after new year; during which period none but very important business is transacted. On the last evening of the old year, all tradesmen's bills and small debts are paid.' This is perhaps the reason why it is called chú seik, "the evening of dismissal."

WEIGHTS IN USE AMONG THE CHINESE.

In China, most unmanufactured articles are sold by weight, not ex- cepting liquids, wood, silk, cloth, grain, and live stook. Grain is however retailed by measure. The minor decimal weights are used in weighing bullion, pearls, precious stones, valuable drugs, &c. There are three instruments for weighing, viz., the balances, steel- yards, and money scales. Balances are used for weighing large suins of money; standard weights are furnished by the Board of Re- venue at Peking, from 100 taels down to one cash, made of brass. The steelyard is made of wood, marked off into catties, mace, &o.; the largest of them will weigh two or three peculs; it is called dotchis by foreigners, a word corrupted from tok-ching, to weigh. The counterpoise is usually a piece of stone, and so common is its use, that no one goes to market without carrying a dutchin. The money soales are merely a small ivory yard like the dutchin, used to weigh money, pearls and small things.

　　　　　The chih (cubit, cevid, or Chinese foot) fixed by the Mathema- tical Board at Peking is 13.125 English iuclies; that used by trades- men at Canton varies from 14.625 to 14.8! inches; that employed by the engineers of public works is 12.7 inches, and that by which distance is usually measured is 12.1 nearly. At Canton, an English, yard or må is reckoned at 2 chik 4 tsun, which makes the English- foot equal to 8 tsun. 'l'he chip is reckoned in the new tariff at 14.1 English inches, which is about the average length of this measure in Canton; this rate makes the chẳng to be 141 inches, or 344 yds.;. the usual length of a chúng in Canton, is a very little over 4 yds., though some of them are but a little over 11 feet. The foor-rule of" tailors is called pải tsien chih, and the shorter one of masons chau- tung chih. The chứng varies according to the chih.

The weights known among the Chinese are as follows:

　　　　　The money weights are liang, tien, fan, li, or taels, macè, cânda- reens, and cash, decreasing in a decimal proportion; the proper coin called cash is named tșien, because it originally weighed a mace.

POST-OFFICE NOTIFICATION.

Relating to Postage between China and the United States.

A Postal Convention has been concinded between Her Majesty's Govern- nient and the United States of America, under which it in agreed that the 8ra POSTAGE ON LETTERS transmitted between the two Countries shall, in future, be fixed at eightpence the Half Onuce, whether conveyed by British or United States Packets, and that such postage shall belong to the country by which the packet conveying the letters is furnished.

By this convention it is further agreed, that letters from British colonies and possessions addressed to the United States, passing in transit through the United Kingdom, shall be delivered to the United States post-office free of all British Postage, whether packet or inland; and that in like manner, letters posted in the United States, addressed to British Colonies and possessions, and intended to pass in transit through the United Kingdom, shall be delivered to the British post-office free of all United States postage, whether packet or inland. All letters posted at this office intended to be forwarded through the United Kingdoin to any part of the United States by British Packet, will be subjected to a postage of one shilling and eightpence the half ounce, instead of two shillings as beretsfore; and upon such letters as may be intended to be con- veyed between the United Kingdom and the United States by packets belong- ing to the United States, the rate will be one shilling only, the half ounce (being the present charge from Hongkong to Great Britain), as the packet postage from England to the United States, as well as the United States inland rate, will be collected in the United States.

NEWSPAPERS addressed to, and received from, the United States, passing in transit through the United Kingdom, whether conveyed by British or by United States packets, are to be charged with a British rate of one penny each. For the present, all letters and newspapers addressed to the United States, will be forwarded from England by British packets unless specially addressed "to be forwarded by United States packets."

　　　　　　　It is to be understood, that the abovementioned rates apply only to letters and newspapers for the United States intended to bo forwarded from Hong- kong viá Southampton; and that any correspondence rià Marseilles, will be liable to the rates of postage chargeable by that route from Hongkong to Great Britain in addition to the sea rate from the United Kingdom to the United States.

By order of his Lordship, the Post-master General, THOMAS HYLAND.

steamers without additional payment, provided they give notice of their intention at the time of engaging their passage.

The above rates include stewards' fees and table, wines, &c., &c., for cabin pasen- gers, with 3 cwt. of personal baggage. For servants, a d 2d class passengers, provisions without wines, and l¡ cwt. of baggage. Bedding, linen, and all requisite furniture, are provided at the Company's expense, together with the attendance of experienced male and female servants.

　　　　　　No package of baggage should exceed 80lb. in weight. The dimensions most con- venient for transporting across the desert on the camels, and therefore strongly recommended, are, length 2 feet 3 in., breadth 1 foot 2 in., depth 1 foot 2 inches.

All heavy or bulky baggage must be shipped on the day previous to sailing. Passengers taking articles of merchandise in their baggage will incur the risk of seizure by the customs authorities in Egypt; and as the allowance of baggage is on a liberal scale, and the freight on parcels moderate, it is hoped that none will convey parcels or packages belonging to other persons, to the prejudice of the Company's interests.

The Company do not hold themselves liable for damage or loss of baggage, nor for delays arising from accident, from extraordinary or unavoidable circumstances, or from the employment of the vessels in H. M. mail service.

Charge for dogs $18,00 ; 25 cents a day for fool, and expenses in Egypt.

List of Foreign Residents in China.

Errors will doubtless be found in the following list of names, but it is hoped they are not very numerous; it has been difficult to ascertain the names of those who reside afloat af the various anchorages, and many of them are pro- bably omitted. The difficulty of making the list complete increases from year to year.

Abbreviations--Ca stands for Canton; wh for Whampoa ; ma for Macao ; ho for Hongkong; am for Amoy ; fu for Fuhchau; ni for Ningpo; sh for Shăng- hii; p. c. and p. s. attached to a few names denote that they are police consta- bles and police sergeants at Hongkong.
