The Exchange will be worked in the following way, viz.: a head Office will be established in the central part of the town provided with the best Tele- phone appliances according to the new est and most approved European and American inventions. Each subscri- ber will be supplied with a complete sob of Instraments and will be put in direct communication with the central office by separate wires.
When wishing to use the Telephone, a Subscriber will only have to call the Central Station and give the name of the party, he wishes to speak with, the wires are then immediately switched together, and the two Subscribers will be in direct communication with each
other. When they have finished, the Central Office is notified to that effect by a Bell Sigual, the wires are then disconnected, and any other connection can be made if desired and so on. The dialogue between the 'subscribers is of course quite private and can only be hoard by the two parties concerned. It should distinctly be understood, that the message are not spoken to the Con- tral Office, and thence transmitted to the person to be conmanicated with, but the two wires are simply switched together, thus forming one continuous line, over which conversation can be carried with perfect ease and privacy.

It is intended to make this work a medium for Advertisers at a cheap rato, and the charge for Advertise- ments will be
$10 per page in Hongkong, and $12 at Outports. The size of the Page will be SEVEN INCHES AND A HALF, LONG by FOUR INCHES AND THREE-QUARTERS; this space will admit of a large quantity of matter and all Advertisements will be taste- fully and prominantly displayet. Blocks of any description will be in- serted, but these must not exceed the above dimensions.
"THE HONGKONG DIRECTORY AND HONG LIST FOR The Far East" will, in order that it may circulate extensively outside this Colony, be published at a POPULAR PRICE, and can be or- dorod at this Office or obtained from the Agents (list to be hereafter pub. lished) for
TWO DOLLARS. There is not space in the bompass of an ordinary advertisement to detail all the mass of information it is in tended to introduce into the work, but it may be fairly asserted that no such Directory has ever been published, either in Hongkong, or any other part of the East, at the price.
