Lieut-Colonel Hughes suggested that they shopifine thewhole street. He thought the best suggestion made was that of Att. Fung. Wa Chun, Plague was an exceptional thing, consequently it required exceptional treatment: Mord help was wanted.
The President, in seconding Mr. May's motion, endorsed all he had said, but thought that some exemption should be observed in the case of the dead bodies of childjen, which could be carried a considerable distance. He also agreed with Dr Bell regarding the un- likelihood of the dead body of an adul: having been carried any considerable distance. He saw no reason why the Government should not employ more people.

Dr. Bell dist not think cremation would haved any effect.
Mr. Osharne said why confd not the Chinese band together; and station watchmen in the strect, if they did not want to be fined?
Mr. Fong Wa Chun explained that in Canton, where these customs obtained, the people had. ro taxes to pay. He thought it was the Go- vernment's duty to engage more people. They could very well afford as they had netted tree laklis of dollars more for the opium farms this year than for last yend

An enterprising Japanese company is erect ing a new landing a little below the Canton Steamer Wharf, evidently with a view to putting Canton run. Now that the work is nearing several Japanese, steamers on the Hongkong completion, however, the company's hopes of possessing a wharf of their own may be frustrated, for the Chinese are just beginning to see that this innovation will prevent small cargo boats using the creek, which runs through the suburbs to the Western Gate of the walled city.
This creek, which serves with the tides, is of course very useful, and saves the passage of such heavy freight as bricks, lime and grain through the narrow streets: but whether or not the new wharf blocks the entrance to this filthy inlet, the Nam Hoi Magistrate was sent by the Viceroy yesterday to ascertain, with instructions to report his finding in the matter

He obtained permission from Li Huog build go-downs &c. but to no purpose, as the people have shown active opposition, and petitioned against the owner, urging that the new work would render the Western Suburbs of Canton liable io periodic floods. Numerous personal inspections have been made by the officials, and the consequence is uninterrupted delay.
Surely this government with its rotten ad- ninistration and vacillating policy has already. outlived it destiny. The doubt cannot be respecting the dixity of its doom: but as to why it should have lasted so long.
PLAGUE.
Plague is reported to be on the increase. There have been as many as four cases in twe or three streets in the Western suburbs. The germs, doubtless, by flushing the drains day recent heavy rains washed away some of the after day, and probably prevented a more serious outbreak.
