BRITISH NORTH BORNEO.
Mr. J. S. Kennedy has returned to the Sungei Koyah Estate after a trip to Hongkong, Singa- pore, and Sumatra, and we are glad to see his health has much benefitted by his travels. He resumed charge of Sungei Koyah on March 13th, and will, we feel certain, give us good reports as to the tobacco season of 1890, if the elements give him anything like fair-play.
Mr. A. R. Dunlop, Magistrate, Sugat and Labuk districts, arrived in Sandakan on March. 1st. Owing to the recent heavy rains and floods in the districts, he had experienced some very hard times in the discharge of his duties, and, owing to the difficulty he had in procuring provisions, had been suffering from dysentery. That a magistrate's work up the inland rivers of North Borneo is not exactly a picnic excursion, may be understood from the fact that Mr. Dunlop and his men had to subsist for eight days on dry rice-a fate one can hardly consider succulent.
The following passage, in a letter from a gentleman in Labuan to a friend here, will be comforting to those in Borneo who are interested in the Labuan coal mine :-"I am also sending by this steamer two samples of coal for you from HANKOW CLUB CUF, value $-, presented by the 12 feet scam.

He tells me, that with their bunkers filled up with this coal, they can make the round trip- Singapore, Labuan, Kudat, Sandakan, Silam, and back to Singapore but with the other coals, besides having their buskers filled, they have to carry a considerable amount as cargo to enable them to make the round trip.
