SMITH ARCHER & O Hongkong, January 1, 1869..

It is intended to auticipate the termina tion of the Old Company, by diesolving it from and after the 31st December next; and measures are being taken for that purpose, In anticipating a successful career for the Now Company, it is only necessary to pre sent to the publie the results of the Old Company since its establishment in May 1860, as exhibited by the following figures:-

The total premiums collected

from the 11th May 1366 to

the present time, a period

of only two years and five

monthe, amount to...$304,737.72

The losses which have been

paid within the same period

have amounted to...$230,081.22

and include the large sum

of $85,270 lost by the Firs

at Hongkong in Nov. 1867.

The amount now at the Credit

of the Working Account,. after paying all Expenses and Re-insurances to date, exceeds.....

.-$100,000.00 These figures fully warrant the most sanguine expectations of success, and it is but reasonable to expect that, strengthened with larger Capital, the present undertaking cannot fail to prove at least as successful

the former one. The Old Company, when it entered the field, had to create a Esiness for itself, but the New one, in taking over the outstanding risks and con neutions of the Old Company, will at once receive a very large amount of premium, and enter on a profitable and organised business. Moreover, there is no doubt

the bisk Hongkong has greatly diminished by the Building Regula our tions now in force, and by the establishment

of a Fire Brigada.

We acknowledge with thanks the receipt of the numbers for the current year of "Notes and Queries," a mont deserving Anglo-Chinese monthly, edited by Mr N, B.

Its in- barcat is not confined to China, and it will be of valuable assistance to all scholars, who have directed their attention towards the subject of Buddhism and its literature, and generally to all who are interested in ori. ental antiquities. It deserves to be better known in India.
