CIRCULAR.
LE Provisional Commilites for promoting the erection of a Qity all in Hongkong, desire to report the progress that lius been made, up to the close of the present year, in furthering the objcet for which they are associated.
The principal difficulty connected with this on- dertaking has been to procure a site that should be nt ouce suitable for the purpose, and in the gift of Government; it boing obvious at the present high value of Land within the limits of the City inade it impossible, that any sum of mo¬ hey, which the Committee could expect to com. mand, would prore adequate if ground had purchased.
be
An application for a site at the Western Car- ner of the Parade Grand, immediately under Messy A Heard & Co.'s Office, was promptly and liberally epneeded, but, before any formal grant of the Land had been made, it was forty- nately discovered that ditoaltics, previously thought superable, to the occupation of the. piece of ground now partially occupied by the'i Barbear Master's Office, were susceptible of ro- storal; and the Committee have the satisfaction of sluding that a recomendatim for a grant of that site (undoubtedly the mest eligible for the purposes of a City Hall in the whole Colony) bas," with
the approval of the Military Authorition, been forwarded by the lical Copertinent to the Secretary of State for the Colonies, and that the position of the Drinking Fountain (prateplad the City by Mr. Jubi Daut, and now in equtes of Arbetion has been determined with special re- ference to the dimensione ad sitontion of the proposed Buliding
The space which, is it confidently hoped, will be thus placed at the disposal of the Committee will enable them to embrace in their scheme the following accomodation
LA Pablic Hall, to be called the St. Andrew' Hall, in acknowledginent of a sum of five Thou- sand Dollars, which has been voted to the under- taking from the surplus Funds of the late St. An drow's Schoul. This room will be Tailable for Pablle Meetings, Publio Dinners, Balls, Gofiebris, and other publie purpbure.
II. A Supper Boon adjoining the Hall, and- which, together with the Hall, can be used, when. not epecially regaired for other purposes, as no Exchange.
IL A Boom for the Chamber of Commerce. where files of Newspapers, Prives Current, Books of Commercial reference and Telegiams will be opened to the use of Subscribers to that Insti tution.
IV. A Pablie Library for the objects slated hy the Trusteca of the Morrison Education Society in
their printed Circalar of the 1st May last.
Y. & permanent Theatre, which will encour ago visits to Hongkong by musical and bisttiorie artists from other parla of the East, and will ob- anilvasatisfactory out- vinte the lay which the frequent areulion of a temporary
Theatro bas hitherto entailed
The remainder of the space will be ntworbed by the larbour Master's Office, which will ha remGT- ed frois its present peritian to one appropriated for it in the North Eastern nagle of the intended. building, in accordance with the proposal anb mitted by the Committee to Government for per- mission to use the site which that oßes at present partially occupion.
Finished plane have not yet been prepared, and in is proposed that, at the proper time, they should be thrown open to competition, but the Oojnmit tap hare eatisfied theinselve that the space they have applied for will sample for carrying out the various objects dantzerated above on a soulé which will render the intended edifee an ornament to the City, a convenience to the public, and in every way worthy of a Colony whose rapid growth and priigress are the surest proofs of its wealth. enterprise and girospority.
The urgency of the want that exists for a Pub- lie Building of this nature need sesively be dilated
Without divating the Club Wote from it legitimate usgs, at a great sacrifice of the paven- lenor of its divibere, there is wet in the length. and breadth of the City a suitablgoma which char be commanded for any objekt of
