The prevalence of violent crimes, particularly assaults with the knife,is the great problem ofthe Criminal Administration of Ceylon and a blot on its "halcyon period." Vigorous measures and severity of punishment may bring about a lem- porary diasinution, but it must be confessed that there can be no radical improvement until a new generation, under the influence of educa tion and discipline, arises "in which the savage instincts of revenge and retaliation have not the complete mastery of reason and humanity." Considered as a whole Sir Ridgeway's op- timism is justified by the present position of Ceylon. There may be, he admits, a check in the remarkable good fortune of the last few years, and that one day the revenue will reach its culminating point. That day, however, is not yet in sight and the Governor observed, there is every sign that the prosperity of the Colony, the wealth of the native population in occasionally a cross current may interfere with particular, continues to increase and although

The crafts which their yard has turned out have been in every respect a credit to the builders and to the Colony, They are now building lighters for Messrs. Markwald & Co., of Bangkok, the first of which, the Brimen, was towed down by the Madeleine Rickmers and arrived at her desti- nation on the 20th alt, with 200 tons of coat aboard. Messrs. Fenwick & Co., an old established fine in Wanchai, are likewise doing a lot of useful and profitable work, though they have not been catering for the class of construction which their competitors specially lay themselves oui, to secure. It is with regard to the Chinese ship-building yards to which some notice might now be given, and one cannot but express surprise at the remarkable manner in which the natives adapt themselves to any class of mechanical trade with so little technical know- ledge, which, in Western countries, is indispen- sable in order to make a mechanic perfecily adept in the trade. Along the eastern end of the City quite a number of Chinese engineer- ing shops have grown up within recent years, and such is the state of congestion in that district of Hongkong that further expansion in that direction is practically impossible.
