The Prince, it is believed, will take the op portunity of travelling by the Siberian Raitway, and he will be the first Siamese traveller to make this journey. His Royal Highness is expected in Bangkok early in July. He will return to St. Petersburg after his holiday.

more correct reference to the measure might have been the Public Health "Ordi. nance," since the "Bill" as such was taken through all its successive stages in the Leg's lative Council, read a third time and passed on the 16th February last and assented to by the Governor, "in the name and on behalf of the King" on the 22nd February, 1993- It is clear from the telegraphie intelligence supplied by Reuter that the Secretary of State is taking time to consider the provi- sions, in detail, of the law which has been characterized in certain quarters as a valuable addition to our statute books. It should not be surprising if, before submitting the measure to be confirmed by the King, the A. S. WATSON & Co., Law Officers of the Crown and the Consulting Engineer for the Colonies and Professor Simpson have bad the Ordinance placed before them for closer scrutiny of its present stage of our information it is a matter entirely for conjecture, what the ultimate fate of the Ordinance will be it is not difficult to foretell.
