What we do most earnest. ly desire is this: that our Government should be clean handed in this matter, and should use its great influence and authority to check, rather than to encourage the use of this in jurious drug. With this and in view we would conclude with two definite petitions to your Excellency:
(1) That' your Excellency will cause careful tnquiry to be made, by Commission or other wise, as to what may be the best method by which the Government may check and, if possible, in time entirely abolish the use of opium, except for medicinal purposes, in this Colony,
(2) That Your Excellency will give instruc tions that the pupils in the public schools of this Colony shall be taught the evil and debas Ling results of the opium habit; and that the primers of hygiene, used as lext-books in the said schools, shall include the necessary in formation on this matter.

THA YUET-HAN RAILWAY,
AN ORDERLY MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS. [From Our Own Correspondent,]
Cantón, 16th August.
A number of shareholders of the Yuet-Han Railway Company held a meeting on the 13th 1st at the Szoyup Club, for the purpose of discussing the best means of electing the com. wittee of the Company, The meeting was quite orderly and regular.
Because they were minus a cook, and bad to do double work on board, on account of the hminge of men, forty Malay seamen-twenty deck bands and a like number of firemen-the crew of the steamer Virginia-declared that until they got what they wanted from the cap- tain not a stroke of work would be done by them. It was not solely because of the absence

Captain John M. Crocker did all he possibly could to effect a reconciliation with the men, but he failed, and then he turned them over to Inspector Langley, of the Water Police.

The Government, of Japan absolutely prohibits its use by its own people, and has passed stringent laws, to erificate its from amongst the Chinese resident within its dominions. The Government of the Philip pines, after an exhausive inquiry into the sub- ject conducted by a Coinmission specially appointed for the purpose, hus decided to adopt measures with regard to the use of Opium in the Philippines almost identical with those of Jayan.
To pass on to our own Calonies ir Austrália the Commonwealth Greesontent, acting on the initiative taken by the Conese Community, Bas issued a proclamation, prohibiting the importa- tion of op am into Austr dia, except for medical use, from the 1st of January, 19.6. The Trans- "val has passed a yel mura "stringent" measure: of prohibition. To shan, on sides there is evidence of a sincere desire to prohibit or to limit, so far as possible, the traffic in, and use of opium.
Your petitioners are earnestly desirous that the relationship of the Hongkong Government to the traffic should be amended, For, in our opinion, the present system of Farming, which is in operation in this Colony, tende direcity in encourage PC use of opium and for this encouragenient the Governinent is respon sible. The Governules is interested in getting as much revenue' as possible, and by calling for tenders simulates competition on the part of those who bid for the right of farming to increase their bids for that right as much as possible.

A highly sensational murder is alleged to have been commilled by a mutinous crew of a fishing junk, in the waters of the Colony, on the night of the and inst., when the master of the junk, his wife and their son were done to

It was then said that the men had already interviewed the, Shipping Master, and that he had held there was no grievance and sent them back to the ship.
The captain said that he would undertake to get men to fil the places of the deserters.
Mr. Grist I quite understand the difficulty" the captain has in engaging 'new men, but if he found that he was shorthanded the proper thing for him to do would have been to dis- charge the Malay crew and engage a fresh crow of other nationalities. The, men were, justified in not working.
(To the captain); Have you got men to take the deserters' places?
Captain: I have made arrangement with the Shipping Master about that.
His Worship: When can you get the other ment-li the defendants, return to duty I will get them at once.
Mr Grist added that without a cook, and the men deing double work, there was no doubl that they were not anxious for the job, besides there was no security to show that they were not going to continue doing the same for two
years.

Judgincat has been entered against the defendants as mortgagors, and judgment had also been given agamat the defendants anignces of the equity redemption, and the question was what was the proper order to make with regard to casts. His Honour then briefly reviewed the facts of the case, and said that the assige informed the plaintiffs that they claimed wo interest in the propety and were willing to do what was necessary to perfect the pal's title, but owing to some of the assignees being in different parts of China neither an assign- ment not a cognovit could be signed by all the parties.
