The drainage works on he French Concession have been commenced, and on beganing the excavations two interesting facts were disclosed, ase being the existence of a very substantial system of drainage. It seems a pity that before the present design of drainage was submited, a Budy was not made as to whether draini
were not already in existence which could be utilxed, more especify as there ere several ou'falls from the French band visible at low water, and but a few inches of mud choked the months of others. It is sho difficult to understand why the existing dring should he destroyed and ant made are of in some manner, more especially as the bottom of one of the old drains intersecting Parkes Avenue, to the eastward of the French Puce Station, appears to be exactly on the sime level as the new drain, which has been bisected
by the new drain and readered useless The other discovery uo-earthed was, that of a battery of old guns destroyed by the British in 1841. What makes this initer discovery more interesting still is, that two of the guns are of a size and calibre which at that period were doknows in warfare in Europe or Ameiles. They bearan inscription in Chinese showing their weight to be stons, and that they were east in Fat- abanin 1841 for the first war China had with a Euro- pean Power. A memorial of these guns is to be erected in the centre of the French Recreation Ground with the large one in the centre. The other large gun, as representing the largest ordnance in the world, manufactured in the year the colony of Hongkong was founded, should be secured by the City Hall Museum of Hongkong and preserved as an interesting. historical relic, showing that the Chinese, abead of us in the invention of gun-powder, were also ahead in that of beary ordnance, and although they have failed to keep as with the times to this direction they are still striving to attain a high proficiency in this respect.

We have had several heavy falls of snow during the past few days, three inches bave fallen here, but is much heavier around Panting-loo, the fall there being six inches. The Chinese re quite jubilant over this state of affairs, for the roll hitherto has been so parched that the winter wheat crop has been threatened with destruction,
Our Ice-house keepers' are beginning to lay in their supplies for the summer. The ice it mainly taken from the flooded plain behind the Settlement, pa which there were fully eight inches of ice when the frost was at its height No ice was taken from the river this year.
The two Krupp guns which burst on Ocober 28th fast,nt Port Arthur, are to be taken to Essen to be repired, It being imposible to do this in China, though it was thought at first they could be patched up at the Arsenal. On crimination, the muzzle of one was found to be completely shattered, while the damage to the tifling of the other was found to be so extensive that to attempt to repair it hera was decided to be hopeless.
This year there à vo not been so many cam- mercial failures to mark the opening months as heretofore, last year especially, a great number. having taken place before this date. Up to the present, however, this year a fów trifling collapsen only have been reported, and our Chinese friends | look forward to a most successful year com- mercially,
