INCREASED EXPENDITURES. The Chainman called the attention of the ace ing to the fact that the Expenditure this year was nearly $3,000 mere than last, and that unless subscriptions in the future came in differently from the way they are at present,, some other means for raising money would have to be adopted. A comparison, of the subscriptions for the past three years showed a gradual and steady decline.
His Lordship than invited discussion on any subject not, as yet, before the meeting.
Mr. A. Cunningham then moved "that under Regulation No. 18, Clause 3, all voting at this meeting be by bot," and this having received the support of three Seatholders or Subscribers, it was duly declared carried.

Cunningham next moved "that the minutes of the meetings of the Church Body The steward when under the influence held subsequent to the receipt by the Bishop of of liquor is of a very excitable temper, Victoria of the telegrain from the Senior Chap- and not responsible for his actions.

The Chairman said that personally he had no objection to the minutes being red, but he was afraid it involved a serious precedent.
The Hon. W. Meigh Goodman, K.C., being appealed in for his opinion, said he did not think there was any right on the part of a general meeting to require the minutes of the Church Body to be read. As a matter of courtesy, however, he was quile agreeable to their being read, so long as it was not taken as a precedent.

THE STEAMER HAMBURG brought 400 tons of general cargo for Hongkong.
MR. GEORGE MACARTNEY, Special As. sistant for Chinese fans at Kashgar, gives a rather gloomy account of the trade between India and Chinese Turkestan. One of the causes of the depression is an enhanced duty on charas, and some difficulty is caused by the exchange question in converting tengas into rupecs and vice verså. With a view to improv ing the trade Mr. Macartney suggests a system of bounties on Indian exports, the development of the tea trade and the mule traffic and the importation of Kashmir opium. With regard to the tea trade, a tea similar in taste and shape to the brick tea from China is required, but care will have to be shown in avoiding collision with the Chinese from Tunan.
