The Representatives of the
CANTON FOREIGN COMMUNITY OF 1856.
Gentlemen,-The amount of Interest accruing upon the Indemnity paid by the Chinese Govern- ment for the destruction of the property belonging to the late Canton Fire Brigade is Nine hundred and Ninety-five Dollars and Ninety-eight cents. As those amongst your number who continue to reside at Canton are known to feel much dis- satisfaction that no portion of the principal sum was voted to the re-establishment of a Fire Brigade for the protection of the Settlement at Shameen, I beg to propose that the amount above mentioned be left in the hands of H. M. Consul for that purpose, to which I believe it to be fully adequate. Should no objections to this course be intimated
NAVIGATION COMPANY'S Steam-ship “BEHAR,” Captain DUNDAS, with Her Majesty's Mails, Passengers, Specie, and Cargo will leave this for the above places on Monday, the 1st February, 1864, at 2 P.M.
CARGO will be received on board until 5 P.M. on the 30th January, SPECIE until Noon on the 31st January; and PARCELS until 5 P.M. on the 30th.
