THE HONGKONG DIRECTORY AND A E RATED
HONG LIST FOR THE FAR FAST.
A NEW DIRECTORY FOR CHINA, JAPAN, AND THE PHILIPPINES, FOR THE YEAR 1882. PRICE TWO DOLLARS.
The above work will shortly be published at the office of this Paper, and will contain a Direc. tory for the Ports in the large portion of Asia comprised between Penang, in the Straits Settle- ments, and the Northern Ports, including For mosa; the Treaty Ports of China and Japan; the Philippine Islands; the British Colony of Hongkong; and the Portuguese Colony of Macao. The work will also contain the Principal Treaties between European countries and the United States and the countries East of the Straits, together with conditions of Trade; and the Port, Customs, Consular, and Harbour Regulations for the Ports of China and Japan; and a description of the Ports, with the latest Trade Statistics taken from the Reports of the Imperial Maritime Custon's and other reliable sources.
The various Governments and Municipal Cor porations have been applied to for information, and all Public Bodies and Companies, Bankers, Merchants, Consuls, and Professional and other Residents, have supplied the necessary matter ́ to ensure correctness upon forms sent for that purpose. The Naval and Military portions have been taken from the latest published official lists and revised at Head-quarters; in fact no pains have been spared to make "THE HONGKONG DIRECTORY AND HUNG LIST FOR THE FAR EAST" a perfectly reliable vude stecum.
"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 ordered at this Office for
TWO DOLLARS.
There is not space in the compass of an ordi- nary advertisement to detail all the information introduced 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.

It Imparts powers of enduring fatigue, checks waste of tissue, and counteracts eflects arising from a deficiency of food. Dr. MOORE has discussed the medical aspects of the "Opium question" in an elaborate contribution to the Indian Medical Gazette, He and other authorities agree that excess in the use of the drug is infrequent. De QUINCY and COLERIDGE have done more, perhaps, towards disseminating the litera- ture of opium-misery" than all else written by others on the same topic since. The drug apparently has had more laid to its charge than it can be made to account for; and on this head Dr. Avaes (quoted | by Dr. MOORE) says:-"No China resident believes in the terrible frequency of the dull, sodden witted, debilitated opium smoker met with in prints." According to Mr. HARTOnly two-thirds of one per cent.of [7] the total population of China are addicted to the vice. This figure comprises consu- mers of both the imported and local drug; but the higher cost of the former, selling at double the price of the latter, will always preclude its more extensive use and restrict it to a certain well-to-do section of the po- pulation. So that China has more to ap- prehend from herself in this matter, than from abroad as local production can, alone, place the drug within the means of "all" that is the poorer classes. The cause of morality would not, therefore, profit by the abolition of the foreign Opium Trade. To quote Mr. HART once again on other points: They (the Chinese) admit that oplum provides a large revenue, that the expenditure for opium and liability to the incidence of opium taxation touch an in- a phase which can admit of no other alter-finitesmally small per centage of the popu- native but the final disposal of the "Ques-lation, and that neither the finances of the tion" either for or against the "Trade."

Fifteen ponics is a very, respect- able entry, although four less than last year's list, but it so happens that nine out of the total number are in two stables, Mr. Gordon having five standing to his credit, and Mr. Paul four. The Ashley Cup which last year had the large entry of 22, has on this occasion secured only 16, a decided falling off, which can only be accounted for by the reasons stated above. Messrs. Gordon and Paul are again the largest contributors having cleven out of the 16 in their interest. The Hongkong Derby has 15 entries against last year's 19, seven out of the original 22 nominators having paid for it. Messrs. Gordon, St. Andrew, and Paul are responsible for three, and Messrs. Granumont and Kerfoot-for two cach. As most of the griffins entered for the Derby have big reputations a good race for the Blue Riband may be confidently anticipated. The Inniskilling Cup, substituted for the time- honored Garrison Cup, is a trophy worth winning, and owners have shown their appreciation of the spirited liberality of the Fusiliers by a large

On that occasion the whole of the ponies were griffins, but the present entry in- cludes the well known maidens Gang Forward (late First Trumpet) strathisla, Detonator, Grim Death, and Jet, (late Storm Wind).
