The widow of the unfortunate man has left the island, and fo the honour of the Chinese be it said, that the workmen employed by her late husband generously gave her their wages for a week. The deceased had a partner in the contracts who is also ruined. He managed to get four hundred rupees from the Executive Engineer after the suicide was known. Of this amount he sent one hundred to the widow, and absconded, abandoning contracts which had proved so disastrous,

A circular intimates that a meeting will be held at Mr Carter's house on Monday to make arrangements for the proposed improvements of the Wian-la-chung valley. More than a year ago several public spirited Gentlemen pur- posed having the valley drained and otherwise reclaimed, so that it would form a good race course or cricket ground. Negotiations with the government as to the terms upon which the waste whould be granted or leased to the public has deferred the prosecution of this desirable public improvement. We are now given to nn. derstand that some definite agreement has been made with government, and that the meeting has reference to improvements immediately to be commenced. We do not doubt but that the
necessary fonds will be subscribed by the com- munity, and next winter Hongkong will have and racing and other national a race course, and manly recreations will be introduced into the youngest British colonial possession.
