QUEEN'S COLLEGE,
In consequence of the death of Her late Majesty, our most gracious Queen-empress, and of the inability of His Excellency, Sir Henry Bake, G.C.M.G., to attend any public function, there was no official ceremony of prize-giving at Queen's College this year. The prizes were given away privately by the Acting Head Master, Mr. Alfred J. May, in the College Half to-day.

Before distributing the prizes at Queen's College today the Acting Head Master, Mr. Alfred J. May, thus addressed the boys:
"This is a British School, on British soil, and under. British Government, where, among other things British ideas, and to a certain extent, British customs are instilled into the minds of the pupils. We British have a custom, that when he speak of one highly respected and deeply loved, but who is no more, we stand with our heads uncovered, as a mark of respect. Now, as i wish to say a few words to you about one who was universally respected, and pre- foundly 'Inved you will stand and take off your cap. (This was done.)
You are all aware that I refer to Her late
Majesty, our universally respected, very much beloved, and now universally deeply mourned, Queen-Empress, Victoria.

At Port Said the Skipper excused himself for a late arrival by explaining that the ship had touched in the Canal, and, as their ONE HUNDRED FOOT python had died and was not available to wain her off, considerable delay had resulted. When the pilot boarded us off Portland the owner of the Snake told him that it was pleasant to see the Old Country again, but when a man had re- cently lost TWO HUNDRED FEET of pet snake that could do all but teach in a Sunday school he didn't even feel particularly joyful at the prospect of English beer.

We want a little waking up, functions, and so he is not here to-day.
I fear, in the matter of gymnastics altogether. Hongkong is not what it once was in this respect.
Many of you here have learned History though I fear that the marks obtained for this subject in the late examination scarcely bear out that fact-but I know you are aware that some of our English monarchs have been good, and others might have been better. Some, I am sorry. to say, thought of little but their own aggran disment and stopped at nothing to obtain it. Others appressed their people to, satisfy their own personal lusts and desires; while on the other hand some did consider their people and their country and did their best for the welfare of both.
The Tame Naturalist, the Lunatic A Disap Contributor and I went to the pointment. Circus last night, Mr. Editor, on
purpose to see the tiger dine on the well-known Chinese gentleman, and we have not yet recovered from our disappointment. It seems that the gentleman's courage failed him at the last minute and he went to Canton-in- stead. Now anyone can see a Chinese gentle- it pleased God to spare our late beloved man go to Canton any day, but it isn't often one gets the chance of seeing one eaten by a tiger, Sovereign, Queen Victoria, for so many years and royal one at that. Then of course the that many of us know from experience what Naturalist must needs point out that the head sort of monarch she was; and you boys will, in boy of the New Victoria was not fat and juicy time to come, learn from Ilistory, and from enough to temps the appetite of stripes and so other sources, that though wars have been un- fortunately unavoidable, yet our deady beloved

He is too stout: wanted two or thres of the tiger's, whiskers to country, and to make all her peoples happy, to to enter the cage himself and wanted the lunatic all of whom she was as a mother.

Queen-mother always was herself, and whiat she, wished all her children to be."
After distributing the prizes, instead of the usual cheering, the boys, led by the Acting Head Master, shouted "God save the King" Appended is the list of successful students:

CANTON NOTES.
ARRIVAL OF THE NEW VICEROY. (From sur un Correspondent.)
CANTON, February 8th. In the case of the New Viceroy the unexpect ed has come to pass. It was generally believed that some excuse would be found which would enable the Viceroy to decline the office, and there is good reason to believe that Viceroy To was very unwilling to come to Canton. However, yesterday afternoon the Viceroy and his escort reached the official landing and were greeted by the Canton officials who had as- sembled in force to welcoine them. After the exchange of greetings the party was escorted to the Viceroy's yamnén. To-day the seal of office will be taken over by Mr. To and to- morrow the New Year's holidays begin. Only matters of great importance will be dealt with during the next month. Tha, native "papers comment upon the new Viceroy very favourably.. but no proof is adduced in support of this opin- He is said to belong to the progressive party ion. In fact too little is known about the new with any certainty. Viceroy to enable any one to forecast his policy
ARREST AND PUNISHMENT OF PIRATES. A messenger arrived last night from Kum Chuk and reported that four men had been ex- ecuted for the part they took in the attack upon the foreign houseboat. The messenger states that two of these men are believed by the peo ple to have had no part in the attack, but as their whereabouts on the night in question, they they could not give a very clear account of were judged guilty and executed. An unfort unate accident occurred while the pirates were being arrested. It was deemed necessary to fire some shots to intimidate the people, and while this was being done a man and his daughter who were at work in a field near by, were shot and killed.

His body has not yet been found if he succeded in escaping it must have been almost miraculous. Quantities of straw were found stored in several cookhouses, but it is not certain whether straw was stored in the house where the fire originated. There is no doubt if this dangerous practice could by some forcible: measure be suppressed, there would be fawer, fires than there are now. This fire proved" most destructive, fourteen houses being totally destroyed, all fairly large ones, marking it as the largest fire which has occurred for some time. The police-kept very good order among the large crowd of native spectors, but in spite of this the loafers who make a practice of stealing from fires managed to get away with booty. Several were arrested yesterday and it is hoped will be severely dealt with by the Mixed Court.
