HONGKONG, MONDAY, MAY 13, 1889.
COMPLAINTS have frequently reached us regarding the time occupied by the river steamers running between Hongkong and Macao. These vessels leave Hongkong at a p.m. and, the full distance from wharf to wharf being only about 36, miles, generally arrive at Macao after 6 o'clock -averaging 9 knots an hour. On many occasions this time is considerably extended "and although the shallow water in Macao harbour is no doubt to some extent respon- sible for these tedious passages, yet it must be admitted that the class of vessels hitherto employed on the line is susceptible of very great improvement. We believe that the new steamer ordered by the Hongkong, Canton, and Macao Steam- boat Company, Limited, which is now under construction by Messrs. Raxox and FERGUSON, of Leith, will be especially adapted for the Macao trade and will travel at a much higher rate of speed than the vessels (excepting the Honam) that have up to the present time been employed on this route; but, unless we are misinformed, even the new clipper will still fall far short of actual requirements. From time to time there have been reports of Macao syndicates, to be formed for the purpose of obtaining a steamer to travel between
