The latest report on the revenue and ex penditure of Hongkong, which covers the linancial period from the 1st January to the 31st July, shows that the Island's advance towards greater prosperity is being steadily maintained. The revenue collect- ed, exclusive of land sales, amounted to $3,550,442.41, as against $2,754,760.83 for the same period of the preceding year, or an increase of no less than $804,681.59. Added to this the profit derived from the sale of Cruwa lands, viz. $242,347.15; * rapid and satisfactory increase is still further indicated. The estimated revenue for the whole of the current year is $6,208,308, which, reckoned on the average basis of the seven months' collections, falls short by an amount, in round figures, off $13.000. Licenses and internal revenue are responsible for an increase in the cul lections of $874,172,42; court or ollice fees, payments for specific purposes, and reimbursements in aid, exceeded the total for the same period last year by $28,283.80; runt on government pru- perty, land and houses, and rent increased THE new Java-China-japan tine, subsidised by $43-453-49 and $5.213-10, respectively, by the Dutch Government, and which consu
