MERCER, Colonial Secretary.
Sir Macdonald Stephenson, Care of R. S. Walker, Esq.
23 {From S. G. Bird, Esq.) Hong Kono; 8/A March, 1864.
Dear Sir, With reference to your communication upon the introduction of railways into this country, and the lines proposed, it seems to me a question how far it would be advisable to commence with those which would act in direct opposition to the large steamer traffic of the Yangtsie and Canton River. ' That the remuneration in such cases would be slight, and l...ong in coming.
Looking to the neighbourhood of these rivers, and seeing their numerous broad branches and affluents covered with large trading junks, consideration must be given to the obstructions that would be offered by bridges in low lands.
Until the rail can be made a substitute for the junk, would it not be advisable to rather avoid the neighbourhood of the large rivers, and to look upon the Hankow and Canton, Hankow and Pckin lines, as offering a more open field ?
Judging from the amount of trade done in Canton a few years back, with the almost dearth of it at present, there must be a large body of native merchants ready to take an interest in a line between that place and Hankow, and whose influence might be brought to bear on the Chinese Government.
