THE OPIUM SMUGGLING ON THE
CANTON STEAMERS.
To The Editon of the "Hanokoda Telegrafi,” SIR, If I had been a stranger here, and unaware.of the fact that the Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce was also the moving spirit of the Canton and Macao Steamboat Com pany. I should have read the paragraph in the Annual report of the Chamber (published yester. with reference to the opium smuggling and searching on the Canion steamers, Kavery, different light. But the apparently honest indige nation of the entire mercantile community at the "menace to the integrity of Hongkong as a free pori," by the search system at present in vegu becomes very shadowy indeed when regarded by the light of actual fact, What the amending Ordinancs referred to in the paragraph as being under way is, I have not as yet ascertained, but I feel justified, in the temporary absence of the Opium Farmer, in setting forth the truth, The Hongkong, Cantor, and Macao Steamboat Company, through Mr. Ryrie, allege that abuses have arisen through the privileges as to search accorded to the excise officers. Now the Opium Farmer only pays the Government here a trifling $380,000 a year for his monopoly -pays it for the privileges, promised under the Ordinance, and he is surely entitled to exercise those privileges. That he does not do so in any vexatious and unnecessary spirit is simply shown by our books, which I shall be glad to shew to Mr. Ryrie or his representative. Within the last four years no less than 1,345 men have been arrested on the Canton steamers alone that is to say at least one a day-and opium to the value of one and three quarter million dollars seized There has been little distinction among the smugglers-all classes, from the captain's "boy" to the meanest fireman, have been incriminated in the act of cheating the Farmer. And, I may add, they were not the only people suspected. But what was discovered was probably less than a tithe of the amount of the actual smuggling- not a tithe. The injured Steamboat Company actually protects the smugglers-their Chinese circular practically offers sanctuary to our defrauders. If these steamers had been run, say, at Saigon, in the same way they are here, they would all have been confiscated long ago. It is only a few months since a steamer running from here was fined several thousand dollars at Saigon for having smuggled oplum on board, although it was undoubtedly unknown to the captain. Yet on the Canton boats, I have no hesitation in saying, the officers do`ali but connive at the secretion of the stuff-indeed 1 doubt very strongly whether they dare stop it. And it is in effect the Chairman of that Company who denounces the "arbitrary manner" in which the excise officers.exercise their right of search, as though they were trespassers in the law- evaders' paradise l

pleasing if somewhat weak tenor voice, which requires a little training; but the song look very weli and the singer was loudly applauded. Then Mr. Purvis, sang with effect Down by the river side," and although his voice was weake than usual, he won many golden opinions before giving place to the Irish comedian who, attired in the restic garments of his fatherland, gave. "Mr. John Malone" at the termination of which there was chorus of applause. Then Mr. Elder, amidst loud acclamations, made his appearance and sang "Annie Laurie" with such perfect expression that he carried the audience with him. dr. Crampton, in the garments of a Hongkong 'ricksha-man "ent for a 'bolday, made his obeisance in true (hirese style, and fully established his ri putation as a comic singer by giving "Going to be a ricksha-man" in fine style, and on being recalle he farther pleased the audience with an original addition to the song. After another interval of ten minutes the entertainment concluded with a laughable Negro farce in one act, entitled "The Black Shoe maker" which caused vast amusement, and sent the audience home delighted.
Yesterday the Russian Admiral gave an after. noon dance on board the Admiral Nakimoj, which was enjoyed very much by all present.

FROM THE CHINESE OF LI-PO, A.D. 720.
'Twas many a year ago, How I recall the day ! When you, my own true love, Came first with me to play.
A little child' was !,
My head a mass of curls":
I gathered daisies sweet
Along with other girls,
You rode a bamboo horse, And deemed yourselfa knight, With pu er helm and shield And ward sword bedight. Thus we together grew, And we together played-- Yourself a giddy boy, And I a thoughtless maid. At fou. teen was wed;
And if one called my name, As quick as lightning flash, The crimson, blushes came. 'Twas.not till we had passed A year of married life
My heart was knit to yours, In joy to be your wife.
Another year, alas'!
And you had ji ed your chief; While I was left at home, In solitary grief.
When victory crewas your arms, And I your triumph learn, What bliss for me to fly To welcome your return 1

A CUP OF TEA.
It is a significant fact that our sales this month areover $10,000 under those of the corresponding part of last year, and I have no hesitation in saying that much of the decrease is due to the Bourishing system of smuggling encouraged by the Steamboat Company. Why, in the Straits Settlements, to my knowledge, all vessels, vehicles, etc., in which smuggling is carried on, are confiscated, and the offenders are very heavily fined, and frequently deported. There the Govern Tea and China bave been so long associated ment recognise the rights they grant in return that resort to any other part of the world for a for the enormous revenue paid by the Farmer, supply of the leaf seems as remarkable as would and they have offered $10,000 to anyone who be an adequate orange supply from the Dakotas. will stop smuggling. Here, when we protect Yet England is now getting less than half of her ourselves, we are accused of "becoming a supply from China, and the amount is decreas- mienace" 1 I regret that the Opium Farmering very rapidly. The fact suggests cer- is absent, and unable to place a clearer state- ment of his position before the public, but since he is not here I feel called upon to correct, an obviously and intentionally misleading series of statements in such important manifesto as the Chamber of Commerce's report, Hoping that Mr. Ryrie will see his way to justily his extraordinary assertions, and give me an oppor. tunity of further refuting them

If we become the greatest customer for China tea, the way may be opened for the supremacy of our cotton goods in that market, ang En- glish sales to China may be reduced in the same percentage in which het tes purchase has decline India and Ceylon now dominate to- gether the English tea market... The revolition has been so great as to make one of the piquant points in modern commercial history. Not un- il 1883 did the ten plan:ations started by En- glishmen in Ceylon report in the London' market, and then by a shipment of only one and a half million pounds. The quality of the product attracted attention, being suited to the British taste, and the shippers were encouraged by prices in excess of those commanded by the Chinese and Indian brands. In 1885 London (FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT.)
took three and a quarter million pounds from Amby, 11th March, 1890, This usually dull port has been turned almost Ceylon, and since then the increase has been topsy-turvy during the past month with weddingsteady. These figures showing the source of the balls, picnics and parties, and a good many sore e car sumed in Great Britain will serve as a valuable pointer to American trade, The British supply was drawn in 1885 from

After leaving the church, the bridal pair, held an "at home," and at 4 p.m. they proceeded amid showers of rice and old shoes to the steam launch Egret, which conveyed them to Taitan, where they were to spend their Honey. moon away from the busy haunts of man.
