NOTICE
In the event of bad weather being apprehended by this Department, a black drum will be hoisted at the Office Flagstaff. A similar signal will be hoisted and a gun will be fired from the Police Hulk. The usual signs of approaching bad weather are, a falling Barometer with high Thermometer, sultriness of the atmosphere, wildness and discoloration of the clouds, and birds flying about in unusual numbers. Should these symptoms exist and the wind be anywhere between North-Westerly and North-Easterly, a typhoon of a severe type may be looked for.
The same indications of bad weather with the wind between South-Easterly and South-Westerly, a typhoon ray be known to be in the neighbourhood, but not likely to be severely felt at Hongkong.
This signal is not to be considered as relieving Masters of ships from their proper responsibilities. The signal is intended only as calling the attention of the Mercantile Marine to any change of weather which the undersigned is expecting.

E above work, which has been chiefly com- piled for the purpose of aiding students in the study of Chinese literature, comprises many characters not met with in any of the Pistimaries hitherto published.
The selection of between 8,000 max 1.400 cha- racters will make it comparatively sy to ind a character without counting the gooses of the compound figures, (minus the radise), and the addition of the Synonyms will prove a great help to such as are anxious to acquaint themselves more iniuutely with the character of the lan- guage.
The work contains 584 Imperial Octavo Pages and is neatly bound in cloth.
REDUCED PRICE-$4 per Copy.
