DIAMOND ISLAND EXPEDITION.
THE CHAIRMAN AND DR, JAMESON, "Jameson pledged his word that if a reason. able indamalty was paid, the expedition would be allowed to prospect on its objective island.”
This version of the proceedings of the Collis Diamond Syndicate's interview with the Cape Premier was repeated this evening by the chairman, Sir Alexander Muir-Mackenzie, at the meeting of shareholders at the Charing Cross Hotel, says the P. M. G. of Btb ult. The meeting was private, but I have authority for "stating that the following is an outline of the
chairman's speech:
Sir Alexander recapitulated in the fullest terms this history of the syndicate's movements since the Tema left Gravesend" on August 4 inst, mentioning the various instructions that were given, and reminding the meeting that Mr. William Griffith, who went ahead of the expedition, was duly picked up on the voyage, and that the Yema was proceeding to its objec- live.island when it was intercepted by a British man-of-war. After this unexpected incident the Xema proceeded to Cape Town and communicated with the headquarters of the syndicate.
رم
An account was given by the chairman of the interviews between deputations of the directors and the Agent-General for Cape Colony and Dr. Jameson, the Premier (Dr, Tameson's) promise being definitely 'sisted in the terms above recorded. As to the subsa. quent offers of the Caps Government, the chairman remarked that they were tantamount to a direct refusal and were absolutely useless, for the purposes of the syndicate.--
Mr. H. G. Campion, the solicitor, also ad. dressed the meeting on the legal position of the syndicate, and the meeting was considering the course of action to be pursued at the time wa went to press.
The chairman was supported by the full board of directors, by the general manager of the syndicate (Mr. E. Kenyon Collis), the se- retary (Mr. G. F. Bond), and the solicitor to The company (Mr. H. G. Campion}..

J
he Chartered Hank building which is in rourse of construction in Clive Street is one of The most important and one that is likely to form a landmark in this historic city. It is being erected by the well known firm, of Builders Architects, Messrs. Martin and Co., and was designed by Mr. Edward Thornton, FR, LA, of that firm. This magnificent edifice will cover no less than 40,000 square feet. The ground belongs to the Burdwan Raj Sale and has been teased to the Chartered Bank for 99 years. The Bank is erecting the building at a cost of nearly twelve lakhs of rapees. At the expiry of the lease the building will, it appears, become the property of the Burdwan Raj, but the bank will continue to necupy it, if they so decide on terms to be arranged. The building itself will be one of The most artistic and impressive in the whole city. The architecture will be an admixture of classic and oriental. It will be four storeys high. The ground floor will be occupied by the bank, the second and third storeys will be mainly let out as offices and the fourth storey will be residential, and will probably be occupied by the manarer of the bank. One of its striking-features will be the lowers.
There will be two main towers of artistic architecture, one on the North frontage and anether on the West frontage each of which will be Izoft high. There will also be five other minor lowers, three of which will be 108ft bigh and the others 86ft., each. One of the main towers will be a clock tower. The building will also have two imposing frontages 320ft, long and the other soft, and last though by no means the least point of interest will be the immense hall on the ground floor which will be 212ft. long and 135ft wide. The build. ing will take two years to complete, but when ready it will, we think, stand out as one of the handsomest and most ir posing buildings in the mercantile quarter. In fact when the present Bengal Chamber of Commerce and Royal Exchange Building is deu olished (which will, we understand, be done some five years hence) and its place taken up by the elegant structure which is in contemplation there will be such an array of magnificent buildings in Clive Street and the neighbourhood as will befit the the second city in the Empire and one of the principal centres of the gigantic trade in India.
The Old United Services Club was pulled down about a year ago and in its place is being erected a building of some importance. It is to be four storeys high; the ground floor for the purpose of a show-room, and the first, second and third storeys will be utilised as residential quarters, it is owned by Mr. J.E. D. Ezra and is being being built by Messrs. Mac- kintosh Burn and Co. This in itself ought to be a guarantee of what the structure is likely to be when finished. The principal feature of this great building will be the show glasses on the ground-floor facing Chowringhee. Each glass will be some eight to ten feet square, supports ed by masonry pillars in between. At the back of this floor will be erected godowns of large dimensions for the storage of goods, the floors and walls of which will be damp proof so that the goods stored in tɩ exo godowas will be fraught with pa danger of being damaged whatever. This building in addition to being no ornament to the locality will be a great cou venience to the public and there is no, doubt: whatever that it will be occupied by one of our large trade houses as 2001 as finished. When the plan went before the Building Sub-Com milles of the Calcutta Corporation, one of our HONGKONG TELEGRAPH CO., L.D. | supposed able Commissioners, who shall be:ne present nameless, strongly objected to it and in doing so said he did not see why his brother.
