The lessons taught by experience of the past have been dearly bought for the Culony, and though late it is better than never for a step to be taken in the right direction lest the errors that have been made in Victoria be per petrated in our dependencies across the harbour. The pity is that the scheme, which has evidently been planned for Kowloon, cannot, in some measure, be modified so as to apply to some of the more outlying dis- tricts of Hongkong, as the dewand for housing accommodation must necessarily centre on the Island where most largest industrial establishments are: sent situated. With the completion of the Electric tramways, which have been well taken in hand, we trust it may be possible for the Government to put forward some the term may also include portions of workable scheme for housing the Chinese Shansi and Chihli.

The odd tunge entering and clearing during the year 1992 amutinted to 21,518,780 tons, being an inc case, compared with 1901, of 2,203,395 tons, and the same number in excess of any previous year. There were $1,52 arcivals of 10,783,502 tons, and 54,†47 departures of 10,7,4,278 tons. Of British occan-going tonnage, 3.010,441 tons entered, and 3,05,148 tons cleared. Of British river steamers, 1,775,950 tons entered, and 1,780,238 tons cleared. Of foreign ocean-go ng tonnage, 3.273.817 tons entered, and 3.2387.9 tons cleared. Of foreign river steamers, 95,765 tons entered, and 95,509 tons cleared.

In view of the fact that the fees for surveys of steam-skips for passenger certificates having been doubled since 1st November, 1992, it may safely be estimated that the revenue of this sub-departmánt. for 1903 will be well over $30,000.
LIGHT-HOUSES,

A LUCKY FIND OF OPIUM.
A big seizure of opium was made on the night of 10th inst at Bangkok on board the s.s. Phra Chom Klaa. It seems that the opium (137 tins in all) was shipped in Swatow two trips ago and the officers, getting wind of it, took special precautions to prevent its landing. Anchors and cables were fixed with the object of lowering it overboard, but the officers quie ly awaited events and, when the time came, made a raid. The result was that the third engineer discovered the drug cunningly concealed beneath the boilers. The chief engineer and
second officer also engaged in the hunt and
