Mr. Reric objected to the third reading being taken then, as some, of the clauses had bec amended at that sitting.
His. Excellency-Practically, all the amend ments were made at the last meeting, but as the hon member thinks sonic advantage may be gained by postponing the third reading we can do so. It is obviously in ncconlance with the Jetter rather than the spirit of the rules, as the Amendments were practically made last time, However, the third reading will be postponed till the next meeting.
The Council then adjourned until Tuesday, the 25th instant,
i
There was a meeting of the Finance Com mittee after the Council." The Colonial Secretary presided.
The Chairman said there was only one guer tion before the Committee. Most members would recollect that in 1887 there was a very serious fire in Queen's Road, on which occasion a wall fell and a young constable, a very efficient fireman named Stephen Fox, was killed. Some time afterwards an application was made on behalf of the parents, who were in poor circum. stances. This was referred to the Secretary of State, who caused enquiries to be made by the vicar of the parish in which Fox's father lived, and the result of these enquiries was that the father was found to be in very ill health and the mother an invalid, and Fox had been in the habit of remitting some money to them. The Governor, following a precedent of 1882, recom. mended that a sum of £100, or $480, be voted to them.
The vote was passed and the Committee adjourned.
THE NEW VOLUNTEER MOVE- MENT
The Committe appointed at the public meeting held in the Council Chamber, under the presidency of His Excellency the Governor, on the 23rd May last, haverecommended that a Volunteer Machine Gun Corps anda Mounted Rifle Corpa be formed in Hongkong, in addition to the present Artillery Volunteer Corps and without in any way inter. fering with it and His Excellency the Governor has been pleased to approve of the general idea and has authorised the Committee to ascertain the numbers who are able and willing to join.
This general idea is as follows -
THE MOUNTED RIFLES,
This corps to consist of Europeans, not less in the first instance than 20 in number, to be mounted on ponies, armed with Martini-Henry Carbines and Revolvers, and to be employed on patrols, outpost duty, signalling, and conveying intelligence by night or in thick weather, Members to provide their own ponies. Govern, ment to provide uniform, arms, accoutrements, ammunition. saddlery and fittings, stabling and a Manège or Riding School for purposes of instruction and training, and to keep in store) all needful camp equipment. Drills to be of the most simple description consistent with efficiency for the duties to be performed, and not to exceed fifteer in the year. Officers and non-Commis sioned Officers to be elected by the troop, and new members to he admitted by ballot only. A fine of not less than $ o to be inflicted on every member not rendering himself efficient and appearing on paradë në general inspection.

Nanking, roth, June, 1889 The foreigners in this old capital lead a very quiet life, and there is little of general interest to within the past two years, amounting now to record. Our number has increased considerably thirty-five, including children. A week ago yesterday the new Presbyterian Church was dedicated; it is a very pretty building with a quare bell-tower and windows of Gothic point, and will seat some four hundred persons, in cluding the gallery, which is prepared ecially for the girls of the school near by. All the Pr testant missionaries representing the four societies were present at the dedication and several took part in the exercises. was preached by the Rev. Chas. Leaman 'and was followed by the communion, of which all partook.

It continues to be very dry in this vicinity. We had many rainy days in the spring, but the rainfall was very light. The wheat harvest is nearly over and the yield seems quite abundant, but the rice can't be set out for lack of water. For two years the ponds have been growing more and more shallow and at present a large number are wholly dry. Outside the walls there is, of course, abundance of water in the river and smaller streams which are still well filled, but the authorities have brought a dragon of the proper sort into the city and are paying to him very earnestly to give them rain Our officials are not by any means incligious, judged from the heathen stand-point. Governor-General has established his ado ted son as Abbot of a large Buddhist monastery in the heart of the city, and has built for him a splendid temple: One hall contains nearly a hundred (dols, each of more than twice the size of an ordinary man. This temple is being greatly enlarged this year. Another prominent official

by step, by dint of patience and much practical skill, the breach was narrowed gradually, in fact, inch by inch until when the waters were at about their lowest, the remaining gap was stopped. Certainly the work is of an astounding character, and Li Hung-tsao and Wu Ta-cheng have both rendered very eminent services to the empire.
The condition of the river Polho, which for some years has needed the careful consideration
of the high Chinese authorities, is now acanda

Capt. d'Amade; Military. Attach to the Legation of France, a most accomplished officer and gentleman, has just left us to return home on leave. During the past winter he travelled from Shanghai to Hankow, and from thence made the tedious and half dangerous journey to Chengtu and Chungking in Szechuan. From Chungking he went across Kueichow to the Liang Kuang. It seems that everywhere he had a fairly amicable reception. The observa- tions of a trained officer upon matters lapos graphical, strategic, and ethnic, will, be exceed ingly valuable, and as Capt. d'Amade is known to possess distinct literary talent, we trust that an account of his long and adventurous journey will be given to the world.
Her Majesty the Empress Dowager has been collecting the photographs of the principal foreigners of her acquaintance who have been connected either with the Chines; service or with the foreign relations of the empire, Her Majesty is particularly anxious to have a good portrait of General Gordon, and she could hardly do better than order a replica of the full length painting which hangs in the mess-ronim of the Royal - Engineers at Chatham.

In regard to Kai Pin, Governor of Hu Pei, Weng Tung-ho, of the Board of Revenue, and Kuei Jun, of the Board of Ceremonies, their apposition to railways have now been overcome. The N. C. Daily News of the 29th ult, made a mistake by saying that Chang Chih-wan and the elder brother of Viceroy Chang Chih-tung' are opposed to railways. They are of one family, and of one place, and according to Chinese are brother-cousins. Chang Chih-wan supported Chang Chibi-tung when he was Governor-General of Shanse in 1884, in his memorial for railways from Peking into Shanse, and so also, in that
