THE HONA CONCESSION.
A despatch has been received from the Emperor in which he orders the Viceroy to deal himself with the queation of the Honam venoossion and gives him full discretionary power. A certain foreign cousa recently applied for a concession for his nationals and the Viceroy referred the question to the throne -with this result. It is not publicly known who was the consul who made the application, but the gossip of the streets ascribes it to the United States representative.

Bru, emot fond of seeing privata grievances aired in the public Press, but I think that one's experiences in connection with the present unequal distribution of the curtailed water supply, typical, I understand, of those of many other house-holders here, may be con- sidered of sufficient public interest to excuse faw lines on the subject. It will be recollected that notion was given by the Water Authority that the curtailed service would come into force on the 11th inst., and I fool sure that all will readily agree that, in view of the seriously short enpply of water in storage, this was a very necessary and proper messa to take.
