That is so." I was in London when this reply reached Downing-street, and having been questioned as to the date when this hospital had been thrown open to the public, the disagreeable, nay, I may sag the painful, duty devolved upon me to

Mr. Jolinson-May I be permitted to make a few observations as to the use of my name in the despatch which has been read by my hon. friend? The only occasion on which, so far as I recollect, I made any observations in this Council or elsewhere, on the water supply which could be quoted by Governor Hennessy, was when the estimates were laid

I did indeed say it appeared hospital, and as hon. members are well aware, to ine the estimates of Mr. Price were extrava- not one brick hand been laid upon another towards gant, and that it was possible some scheme less the work of re-construction of the Civil Hospital costly might be devised, but I said I hoped that when the despatch was penned. What there in the course of the next two or three month fore could have been the object ofthat statement some scheme, whether costly or otherwise, on the part of the Governor, I cannot say, Tum- ing from a hospital for physical ailments to an institution for the treatment of a still more dis tressing class of disease, I am happy to say I am under your Excellency's instructions to make an early beginning with the new Junatic asylum for European patients.

THE VOLUNTEER' ORDINANCE. On the motion of Mr. O'Malley, the Volunteer Ordinance, 1882, was read a second time, after which the Council went into Committee on the bill.
Mr. Ryrie-I would ask whether it is intended that the powers given by the bill to the Governor should be exercised by the Governor in Council, Mr. O'Malley-All military matters are usually left to the Governor alone, and it is not intended
by Governor in Council.
that the powers given by this bill should be In reference to the clause providing for the oath of allegiance, Mr. Ryrie enquired whether aliens could take such an oath.)

and be adopted, as the matter was very pressing, and I urged over and over again on the Governor, the interests of the population, that this scheme of an increased water supply should be taken in hand. As to the costliness of Mr. Price's scheme, I. should explain that at the time I remarked upon it I had no idea the funds at the disposal of the colony amounted to over a million dollars. And I was not alone in this, for it appears the Secretary of State had arrived at the conclusion, from the Accounts, that we had not a sufficient

Mr. Ryrie observed that there were a good many Portuguese in the corps.
A few verbal alterations were made in the bill, which then passed through Committee, and was read a third time, the Administrator intimating bis assent. to it.
BANKERS' BOOKS EVIDENCE ORDINANCE. This bill having been read a second time was"} committed.
The Administrator-1 think you will under stand the work on the Tytam scheme has been commenced.
Mr. Price-Yes.
The Administrator-And with respect to the hospital?
Mr. Erice-Work was commented on it this
The Administrator-With reference to the Observatory, I have received the instructions of the Secretary of State to carry out the work, but I have no money for it, and shall have to ask the Council to vote the needful. There was a ard Kimberley enclosing some despatch from remarks by the Kew Observatory and Royal Society which led me to believe it would not be commenced for some time, and consequently 1 made nó provision for it in the estimates. Re- garding the mortuary, that is a new thing, and the Council will be asked this afternoon to vote the necessary funds. My hon. friend forgot to mention the water police station at Tsi18-s2-1st, which will be finished next year.
Mfr. Price-1 referred only to works now being commenced. That is one that was approved and
commenced before I arrived.
The Administrator-In addition to this, I have been called upon to subinit estimates for a new Central School, and I believe it has been decided also that there must be a new Gaol, but that will probably be dealt with by Sir George Bowen when he arrives.
LIGHT QUES,
Mr. Russell said the so-called native banks were not banks in the proper sense of the term, but merely silver shops.
Mr. O'Malley said he was not unprepared for the criticism, and proposed to amend the clause by inserting words limiting the operation of the Ordinance to banks established by charter, Act of Parliament, or Ordinance.
Sir George Phillippo said those words might be held 'not to include the French Blank,
Mr. Johnson observed that such an institution as the Comptoir d'Escompte certainly ought to be incluited
Mr. Russell said the subject was an important one, and suggested the farther consideration of the bill being left over, so that the point might be properly dealt with.
Mr. O'Malley moved that the further con- sideration of the bill be postponed, which was carried.
THE MERCHANT SHIPPING CONSOLIDATION ORDINANCE AMENDMENT ORDINANGS. Having been read a second time, this bill was committed, and passed.
VACATIOS OF 'OFFICES, &G, ON CONVICTION 419 CRIME. The bill providing for the vacation of offices the determination of pensions and allowances by persons convicted of crime, was read a second time and committed. An amendment was made limiting the operation of the Ordinance to persuns convicted within the jurisdiction of any of Her Majesty's Courts; and another substituting six months for two months in the following clause "Unless such person shall receive a free pardon from Her Majesty, within two months after such conviction," after which the bill was passed.

AMENDMENT ORDINANCE. Some technical alterations having been made in this bill, it was passed.
THE TRAMWAYS DILE
At this point a proposal for adjournment was made, when Mr. Johnson mentioned that the Tramways Bill was being printed, and would be ready in a day or two, sued as to whether it was necessary, the bill Sonic conversation en should be published in the Gazette. The stand og order requiring the publication of a bill affect ing vested rights for one month before its intro duction was suspended, it will be remembered, at the last meeting of Council, when the bill was read a first time, but another order requires that all bills after being read a first time shall be published in the Gazette.
ing they are removed with the occurrence of every threat of a typhoon, because there seems to be a doubt as to the stability of the structure, which is a very old one. This state of things has gone on now some four or five years, and I scarcely think it reflects much credit upon the humanity of the Government. Honi members will there- fore appreciate the urgent necessity of a grant of money for defraying the cost of a new lunatic asylum, and when we go into Finance Commit tee, I will propose a vote of $12,000 for this pur-marning, pose. When I was in England, į submitted plans to the Secretary of State for a small lunatic asylum. These were referred to the competent medical authorities who advise H.M. Govern "ment in these matters, and having been approved, with some slight alterations, by Dr. Buchanan, they have now been sent out to the colony with instructions to commence the work inmediately. The accommodation is for eight patients, four female patients on the upper floor, and four male patients on the lower floor, with proper quarters for the matron, and officers, and a cheerful, garden is also contemplated with a view to inak ing the place as pleasant ng such an institution can be. The site selected is on the hillside above Bonham road. It is alry and healthy, and as the exterior will be to all appearance the same as that of a gentleman's residence, I do not anticipate any objections from the residents in that neighbourhood. Another great public requirement is a public mortuary for the city. The subject is a somewhat nauseous one, but one's official duties are not always pleasant, I will, however, endeavour to be as brief as pos- **sible on the subject. It has been the practice
for the police to deposit in the past mortem Mr. Johnson-In moving the resolution, of room at the hospital all the bodies found float-which I have given notice, asking your Ex- ing in the harbour, or discovered in the city, or cellency to lay on the table a copy of the on the hillsides.

FOOCHOW RACES.
The Autumn Meeting of the Folklen Race Club commences today. A correspondent of the Foochow Herald writing on the subject a week ago, is responsible for the following vatis- inal remarks:-

..
Still another week and the powers and quality noble trainers as well as riders will be put to our racers, the ability and judgutent of the the test. It will then be proved how far the public have been right in making certain animals favorites and neglecting others for which fond owners still cherish great expectations.
A number of fairly good animals, which are apparently well matched, have congregated this season, and I venture to predict closely con- "cracks and Strathpeffer should carry every- tested and exciting races, unless indeed the Ewo
thing before them. Undoubtedly Jolly Friar and Strathpeffer are the best pair on the course. The former has a great past career; condition, is everything with him, and as he is in first tale order he ought to win wherever he goes. Strathpeffer also is a great winner over any dis- tance, a thorough race-horse in excellent fettle, and; ifjudiciously started, will not be beaten.
The whole "Ewo Stable" is indeed strong, containing as it does, a clever selection of ponies for all distances. Melry Monk is almost a cer- tainty for all to mile races. Marksman a accond string for these or the Manchu Stakes— jolly Friar for 1 mile up to 12 mile." Diving Cloud, of old repute, first rate for 1 to 2 miles. Huntsman, winner of the Hongkong Derby of not much use, but good enough for the Con- solation." Mr. Yorke's stable is also very pow erful, and as the ponies have the benefit of highly scientific training and the best rider in Foochow, they must be dangerous, I dare say: Strathpeffer will be sent for the long races, while Redstart, who goes in excellent form, will make things hot in the short races. Reverse and Revenge both, especially the last, in good order, must prove dangerous in this gentleman's hands too. Mr. Bill's ponies have been "gassed up" to the skies, but I fail to see anything wonderful in them. Pizzicato is a fine aujinal and goes splendidly when once in motion, but he has a nasty sulky temper and I should be sorry to place much confidence in him. I should not be a bit surprised to see him left kicking and plunging at the post. Gang Forward is a hand- some and speedy animal but a confirmed "car," and he is rather fat too, but he will look in some where. Allegro is decidedly screwy, and won't win a race. I think Mr. Bill has made a sal blunder to sell Presto This pony looks in the pink of camlition, has been put into 'Arry's hands, and I am told he thinks he is going all know what "Old Hickory" can do when win the Champions with him. Well we he has set his heart of a thing, and I say look out for Presto. He is undoubtedly the best in this able trainer's hanils. Wild Echo has seen his best days; Forest King I don't like at all. Wild Eari is better than people believe and if he does not win before, which I'hardly think likely; is a certainty for the Manchu Stakes. Wild Ibex is a fraud and will be qualified and good for the Consolation. Thermometer goes beautifully; he is never beaten in any gallop and deserves | careful watching. Flying Fox why this beauti
ful pony is so much neglected I do not under- stand. He is sure to win races and realize the great expectations of his popular owner to a certainty. 1
