A meeting of the shareholders in the Canton Insurance Office was held yesterday afternoon in

Mr. Wotton represented that it was not a case in which it was necessary to go to such an extreme, and that there were only 65 actu. ally in exccas. Mr. Wodehouse then said he would impose the $5 fine only on 65, but int- special licence had been exceeded. Mr. Wotton mediately remarked he could not do that, as the said it was not a special licence, that every pas- senger ship is bound to have a licence. Mr. Wodehouse, who said he thought it was a special licence, thereupon fixed the excess upon which the fine was to be levied at 65, making the total fine $575, in default six months' imprisonment with hard labour. Mr. Wotton asked the Magistrate to allow the Captain to go and fetch the dollars. l'ermission being granted, Captain Goggin left the Court for the purpose.
The CHAIRMAN said-Gentlemen, as mentioned in the advertisement which has just been read, this meeting has been called together for the purpose of complying with the Companies Ordinance. It is not necessary to detain you with any lengthy statement. We have simply to say that Office, as it is now constituted, has been the reconstruction of the old Canton Insurance favourably received by the lasuring public, and the business is progressing quite satisfactorily. All the capital has been, allotted, with the excep- tion of a smail appropriation reserved for America, where we hope to obtain a few contributing share holders. I would desire to take this opportunity to express, on behalf of the Consulting Committee and General Agents, the regret which they felt at not being able to meet more fully the very when I tell you that, with practically only five numerous applications for shares in the new office,

We would specially direct attention to the per- formance to be given at the Theatre Royal, City Hall, this evening, by the Italian Opera Com- pany of Giovanni Pacini's famous opera "Saffo." This magnificent work, the chef d'auvre of one of the greatest of musical geniuses, has acver previously been represented in Hongkong. It contains some of the finest music ever written, to-night's representation proving a most brilliant and should from its inherent excellences ensure
success. The liberetto, written by salvadore Cammarano, is founded on the traditions of Sap pho, the chief representative of the Eolian school of lyric poetry. The incidents of the plot the Leucadian rock, on finding her love for lead up to her famous plunge into the sea from
