) PEIHO, or TiEN-TSJN-HO, a river, China, which, rising in a mountainous district in the N. W. Of prov. Chili, not far from the Great Wall, flows S. E. , and enters the Gulf of Pe-chili. Pekin, the capital of China, is situated on its banks, and to this, much more than to its magnitude, it is indebted for its great commercial and political importance. It pursues a tortuous course through a flat country, scouring out for itself a narrow channel by the velocity of its stream rather than its volum...e of water; and, decreasing instead of increasing in depth as it approaches the sea. Discharges itself over an area several miles in extent. The bar thus formed has only a depth of 2 ft. At low-water springs, but at high water attains a depth which allows vessels of 11 ft. Draught to cross it. Junks, carrying from 300 to 500 tons burden, are thus enabled to ascend as far as Tien-tsin, a direct distance of 30 m. , and an indirect of 50 m. Here the river is only 200 ft. Wide, and con- tracts and shallows so rapidly, that the Kestrel, drawing only 6J ft.
