SHANGHAL April 19, 1866, The wainly interesting topic of conversation wmong Americans in this part of the world is the proposed new line of steamers from 8an Francisco to China. The size, capacity und interual arrangements of the vessels, the number of trips they will make in the year, and ubove all the port which shall be sclected as the terminus of the line, arc questious atked by every one, and answered differently in nearly every case, Capt, Phelps, late of the United States Navy, s now in Rhanghai on o wission from the Pacitic Mail Steamsbip Company, and it is generally supposed that on bis report it will greatly do- t:-ml whether the line shall be run to this port or to Hong {ong. At first sight, Hong Kong unquestionably offers the greatest inducements; the jwmense passcoger traflie thence to San Francisco is alone almost sufficient to sup- port the live: while retuin carzoes of produce, &c., would doubtless be obtained at the home port, But there are many who think that these advantiges would but poorly compensate for the neccasity of running the line to a British port, and thug plaeing it more or less under British control. Whatever the commereial benefits the new line mighi confer would be exclusively to the aggrandizement of Britist interests; and if there be w place on this earth where Awerican trade has need to be fostered and en- couruged, it is agsuredly in this Empire of China.
