THE Straits Times of the 21st ulto, says: In the matter of our article of yesterday un gold dust from Pabang, we are told that the trade became diverted from Singapore by reason of the communication opened up with China and the demand for gold there. We are informed that the gold now sent from Pahang to China amounts to a large annual value; but of course there are no statistics.
SAYS the Chinese Times in one of its Peking 'notes':-The amicable cession of Pei-tang, the occupation under favouring circumstances of the new site, and the quashing of the Protectorate will certainly have a good effect upon the Catholic missions. Now that they are severed from aggressive political influences, greater facilities, confidence, and toleration will be accorded by the Chinese officials, literati, and people, and we are confident various missions will soon recognize a wide and beneficial change in their relations with the Chinese Empire. STEAM pipes of copper are now made by electro depositing from sulphate of copper solution.
The pipe is formed on an iron core in the deposition bath, and the deposited copper is pressed by a moving tool as it is deposited, so as to give a fibrous strength to the crystalized copper. After the pipe is thus formed it is subjected to hot steam, which expands the copper shell or pipe clear off the iron core, thus separating the two. These pipes have no joint, and are said to be very strong, tests showing that they break with strains of from twenty-seven to forty-one tons per square inch.

Dr. Noble moved that the goodwill, assets, &c. of the Green Island Company should be handed over to the Green Island Cement Company in consideration of $500,000 worth of shares, fully paid up.
Mr. Danby seconded, and it was agreed to. Dr. Noble thought afterwards that it would be better to make the new capital $50,000, and borrow whatever else was needed, but---

That concluded the business.

From noon till tiffin time to-day the Hon. I. H.

Many prominent Chinese merchants ing their official buttoms and a good many more attended in imposing attire, the two leaders hav- things on,whilst their coolies carried in a number af ornamental "umbrellas"-silken screens on high poles, with complimentary characters on them relating to the unbribable," "economical," "most spokesman, and Mr. Quong Tart, of Sydney fare, admirable," &c, 'recipient.
