A correspondent from Newchwang writes:—The ice commenced to break up on March 3, but it is reported that, at Tienchuental, fifteen miles higher up the river, native carts are still crossing. Although at times there is no ice near the settlement, it will not be safe for shipping much before the 20th. Last year, the Miaca arrived on the 10th, and' had to go high on shore to save her from tne floating masses of ice. Except a few bold fishermen, natives do_ not launch their boats tu after the 15th. Malwa is rising, natives offer to buy at Tls. 540, but holders want Tls. 10 more, on account of news from the South of a rise. Dealers are slowly coming in from the country, and at present are lukewarm in their demands for goods. I hardly think the market for 6'e c. will open at more than Tis, 220 or Tis, 2.25, a poor price for holders of last year's stock, The Customs are looking out for a spot for a lighthouse on the coast.
