Tux prolonged stay of the Pall Mall Gosette's Special Commissioner in Hongkong is owing to his having found the colony of far greater importance, both from an Imperial standpoint and as a great commercial centre and trading emporium, than he bad been led to anticipate. Mr. NORMAN, quickly recognising the leading part this island iscertain to play in the political future of China, Japan and other Far Eastern countries, very wisely determined, although doubtless at considerable personal incon venience, to give the readers of the Pall Mall Gazelle and the other journals with which he is connected, something more than the ordinary "globe-trotter's" or flying correspondent's superficial and generally unreliable notions of the place. "With this object in view he has visited, or Intends to visit, the Dock Company's ship building and engineering establishments at Hungham, Sam-shui-po and Aberdeen, the Kowloon Wharf and Godown Co.'s extensive premises, the Ice Manufactory, the China Sugar Refinery, the Rope Works, The Taitam Water Works, Victoria Gaol, etc., etc. Mr. NORMAN has also carefully studied the Praya Reclamation scheme, the defences of the colony, and several other questions of public Importance now on the tapis. Although it would be too much to reason- ably expect anything strikingly original regarding matters which have already been discussed times out of number from almost every point of view, a keen observer and facile writer like the repre- sentative of the Pall Mall Goale can scarcely fall to compile a most interesting record of the colony's forty-six years existence under the British flag, describing the principal local Industries, the marvel lous wealth and surprising commercial

The Lao-kay arrived at Bac-hab at 8 a.m. the next day; on the 18th she anchored in the harbour of Yen-bai, and afterward proceeded up the Red River as far as the Tac-kay rapids. As the river was low, it was deemed advisable not to pass the rapids, and the Zao-kai returned to the confluence of the Red with the Black River, up which latter she proceeded, arriving at Cho-be on the morning of the 21st. In proceed- ing down the river the Lao-kay took on board Messi. de Saint-Mathurin and Bandeuf at Vietri, and arrived at Tuyen-quan on the 23rd.

Some of the Tukongs were hidden next door to the hong in question, whilst the rest lay perdu in the Harbour Ofice, a few yards away They could see three men moving about suspiciously, but a lot of coolies were carrying goods about, and they seemed to be afraid to commence to assume the offensive, and sent some of his men to seize them.
