The tightness was, however, much relieved by the arrival in the latter pay of the week of a direci steamer from Hongkong, which brought a considerable supply of the coin to one of th local Banks. *
Washermen suffering from theistism, and some on account of old age, having no means of support, were, it is said, the cause of the late strike amongst that class, in their attempt to crew out of their employers to per cent, on the gross earnings of the business, for the support of the present and future invalids of their pro- fession. We fear that if the present be allowed to pass, unchecked, in future every such want will as usual be indirectly extracted out of foreign pockets.
The Annual General Meeting of those interested in the Hospital was held at the Club on Wednes. day night the zoth inst. We regret to say that very few people indeed thought it worth their while to hear what had to be said on the working of this charitable institution, the Report evidently having contained all the necessary information. The following gentlemen were present-Messrs. Geo. Phillips (chairman) Odell, Janes fathgate, Dr. Rennie, Dr. Adam, Tiberii, Millards and Siemssen (hon, trea, and sec.) The Hon. Sec. said that the old Hospital site had been old in the cantine for the sum of twelve hundred dollars. The meeting then passed the Report and Accounts as put on the table and a vote of thanks to the Chairman concluded the proceedings.

In 1885 4900 was spent out of the Imperial Treasury on public buildings in England, £280,000 in Ireland, and £10,000 in Scotland, half of which miserable dole had to be repaid out of local taxation, and grants for other pur- poses run in even smaller proportions. Scotland is taked to support the London metropolitan police and to maintain the London parks, both of these items, and many more of a purely local character, being mainly, evaded by the richest city on earth and charged the general revenue; she is taxed to provide pensions for English and Irish police, while her own.police are refused any such benefits; she is taxed to pay for Irish education, and has to defray her own educational expenses out of local rates; and at the same time Scotch business utterly and systematically neglected in the British House of Commoss and the northern kingdom gets practically nothing in return for her vast expenditure. It is a part of the general" blasted- ness" of the high-bred Englishman to jeer at everything Scotch. Scotch business is hooted

It were tedious to enumerate the fabulous losses, the rain, the tragedies which have been Produced by the gambling houses of Nephelo- Enccygis. The native fatalist, when he has lost the last cent of his property and has no immediate prospect of recouping his loss, takes one of the two alternatives open to him he either turns thief and pirale, or puts an end to his existence by an overdose of opium, or by the cheaper process of hanging. It is a very common thing in that haly city to see now and then a Chinaman dangling from the branch of a tree somewhere in the outskirts of the town; Fantan has brought bindo that exkreme. The thieves and pirates "who infest the town are notorious gamblers i the servants pawn their master's clothing and jewelry to gamble; shop-keepers throw into the voracious gut of the Infernal monster all their day's carnings until grim bankruptcy stares them, in the face and closes thef doors; Clinton Mahdarins bring all their suvez-money to chrich Nephelococcygian Fan-tan liduses; prostitutes, paramours, the amphibious women of the sampan class,. mix freely with what is considered to be the respectable Chinese in those dens of degradation and vite, while night aer night the impassive croupiers ply their trade of cheating people out of their dollars." But it is especially among.the Nephelococcygian population that the game counts itsadepts and its victims. The public functionaries of that model settlement, with npccasional sprinkling of the clergy, head the list of the frequenters of Fan-tan houses. Officers of the nemy and navy, and employés of various departments of the public service, are peculiarly addicted to the game, to which they do not scruple to stake the greater, portion of their scanty salaries, with the invariable result. that they contract debts which they are unable to pay, and thus bring irretrievable ruin to their famili
