Tus Bangkok Correspondent of the Daily Press writes, 3rd September-Mr Henry Foss, the manager of the Borneo Company, Limited, at this place, and who has been away a year or more on leave, has been promoted to the Hongkong management, and goes to your port direct from London. I congratulate your colonists sincerely on this sequisition to their society. Mr Fous was a general favourite bore with all classes of our community. During his reign the Company's premises were the favourite resort of all, and the cheerful, open-handed, pleasant manner in which the hospitalities of the company were dispensed won him golden opinions. Under his able wanage- ment the company's interests advanced in a most successful manner, while his personal popularity bought back to it long-estranged Business and the better part of the new sprloging up in Bangkok, "Take him for all in all, we ne'er shall look upon his like again."

THE "KESTREL" AMONG THE
PIRATES OF BORNEO. We extract the following account of the doings of H. B. M. gunboat Kestrel from the Singapore Times just to hand :—
The Kwang-tung authorities report to the Emperor in the year 1836 that "to shut out the importation of opium by foreigners, there is no better plan than to sanetion the cultivation and preparation of it in the Empire,"

Manila.
(Translated from Exchanges.) The Comercio, commenting on the qua- rantine imposed on the Diamante on her last trip from Hongkong to Manila, after paying due regard to the good intent of the policy adopted by the Government, on this particular and on many other similar occasions, for the safety and welfare of the inhabitants generally, says that the Dis mante's case should have been an exception to the rule, considering that the passengers, Mr Deplace and the Japanese, from Yoko bama, had been in Hongkong for some twelve days previous to their going on board the Diamante, and the natural fumi- gation of their effects during that period, and the fact that they enjoyed good health since they left Yokohama ap to the time of their arrival at Manila, are sufficient to guarantee the state of their health as well as of their effects; in view of these considerations the authorities would do well to withdraw the observation imposed, or He never at least to somewhat reduce it,
