Mr. Law, in responding, said that he was sure. the owners considered themselves very fonun are in having had their vessel launched and christened by, so lucky a lady as Mra, May. They had also to congratulate themselves on being in the bands of builders like the Hong- kong and Whampoa Dack Co. Their name was a guarantee for the highest workmanship. It was a comparatively easy task for their Surveyors to superintend the building of a vessel contracted for with the Hongkong Dock Co.; and they were generous-builders as well, always willing, nay anxiour, to adopt any suggestions and improvements, although not embodied in their contract, without extra charge. He could not therefore do better than, recommend any of the ladies.or gent! men who might be contemplating building a steamer to entrust their orders to his friend Mr. Dixon.

So it was that such a movement, as our present action in Thibet, came as a complete surprise, not only to the world in general but also to a nation who has actively intrigued, for years past, to make her in- fluence predominant at hassa.
