It was expected that she would be ready to all for her destination either to-morrow or Monday. At about half past twelve this morning smoke was Juring hom the forward hatch, and who ware sleeploeg under the forecastle head, they were awakened by lames coming up from the chain locker. An alarm was at once salsed, and the entire crew, numbering twenty- fire men, fucluding the Captain, came on deck. It was already evident that the fire had got a good hold toward, and any effort to prevent it spreading could only be made on the after side of the forward hatch, but even that could not be done with the weak appliances on the vessel, and there was nothing left but to endeavour to SATC what personal

But the laple of several months has to some extent modified these pessimistic views. It is remembered that a commercial and shipping port the paritions of the naval cocks, coaling station la not made or developed in a day; that not even and other Government ses bave yet been de- termibed, nor, consequently, that of the future. commercial quarter; that as land has been yet acquired by pitrate individuals, no basfaces premlces or warehouses began; that up to the present there exisis no well-to do native trading commually on the spot ready to co-operate the creation or development of Kyaochua to= trading and shipping centre; and, in short, that the expectation of a sudden transter of the tende of Chilco on large scale to the shores of Kyaochao Bay in entirely premature.
There is, moreover, another consideration which should not be forgotten.
Supeilor as Kyaocbao Bay is to Chefso as port for the province in general, there is a region along the north-west shores of the Shactong Promontory as an outlet and entrepôt for which Cheloo is beller situated, given one condition, than the more southerly harbour. The region in that of which Lal chow-la is the principal city, and straw braid a leading production. The condition to the extension of right to trade regularly thither by means of small steaming craft, which has hitherto been reserved for single Chinese vessel. I have some hopes that such an extension of both export sed Import trade will prev fansible, and that Cheloo may receive a stimolas thereby that will comp nalo for such trade as may hereafter ha diverted from it to the fature port of Kyaochao.
