THE SINGAPORE HARBOUR IMPROVEMENT SCHEME.
In view, of the great and vital importance hat the matter of increased boat accommode tion bears to the interests of Singapore, it iš perhaps a matter of some regret that a divergence "of opinion has arisen on the question. Looked at from a distance of some few thousands of miles the matter possibly presents itself jo a different aspect to that in which it is viewed A Farce in 3 Acis, by H. NICHOLLS and locally.

This can only be something such as the Colonial Government has asked Mr. Mat- I108 thews to prepare, and on which he, has sent in his report. If trade increases in the future as it has done in the past the river is an im- possibility.
