So, we took a private conveyance, and giving the necessary In- strictions to the dragoman, started off by ourselves. None of us knew where the boat was, to say nothing of the canal, and we drove on, supposing we were going in the right direction, until we reached the outskirts of thr city, and then farther on until we found ourselves surrounded by wastes of sand where there were no signs of canal, or boats, or anything else contrived by human hands. Then the driver turned to us with an enquiring look as if to ask a barrack-like building, and the rooms resembled us what it was we were anxious to see.

The wheat crop is stated to have been greatly damaged on account of the constant heavy rain that have fallen for the last forty days.
Though on every side we bear of nothing but bad prospects for the coming tea season, the tea box makers seem to be already actively prepar ing different sizes of boxes for the fragrant plant,
Very few tea manufactories in the country are making any preparation for the coming season- in fact, P.kling is the only district where repairing and preparation is general in the tea hongs. It is stated that more than balf of last year's teamen will be "laid up" for want of means and credit.
It is to be hoped the Clerk of the Weather will soon change the rains he has do unmercifully allowed to continue for so long a period,-about five weeks, and give us at least one week of bright sunshine, as an eternal deluge is not only far from healthy, but is depriving the community ofall out-door exercise and many native workmen of their custom and earnings.
The real cause of trouble amongst the Ten Guild member, rep red in our last issue, was, we understand, the present agreement re "credit" which it is the wish of a large majority of the members to do away with. This is the chief subject to be discussed upon the arrival of all the members, and they also want; if possible, to cancel all other agreements entered into between the guild and foreign bongs,
