NEW RECRUITS”2OE TUE POLICE FORCE,

His EXCELLENOY, in reply to Mr RyZIE, aid that his despatch requesting the Crown Agents to recruit 15 mon for the police force should have reached London in time to enable the men to arrive in this Colony by the end of the prosent year, if the Agents acted promptly on his instructions, hat he could not say if they bad done so or not. If they had, the men should be here before the end of the year.

FIRE BRIGADE.

Me Lowcock said that a great deal was ssid at one time about a floating engine.

What had boon dono in the matter?

Mr MAY said the question bad been gone into very fully at different times. So far as his opinion was concerned he was opposed to the establishment of a floating enging. They would have to maintain a namber of boatmen constantly on board, and there would be considerable danger of the destruction of such an engine in dirty A scheme was on foot for mounting one or more engines on barges, which would answer the purpose of floating engines and escape the danger of a heavy The suction hone had also been lengthened, and other steps such as the digging of wella were in contemplation to increase the efficiency of the fire depart- ment.

His EXCELLENCY Bald the suggestion of carrying fire engines on barges was a good one, because they had now a couple of steant-launches constantly on duty, ready to tow the barges to any desired spot.

Mr Keswick dwelt on the importance of having thoroughly effective and sufficient fire extinguishing arrangements and appa- ratus in the Colony, especially such as could be used along the Fraya where so much-valuable property was stored.

CHARITABLE ALLOWANCES.

On arriving at the estimate for these allowances, Mr Ryrte proposed that the estimate be to increased in to permit of an allewanee of $25 per month to be made to St. Joseph's Bophal. It was a most deserving institution and it had offered lately very much from the recoot heavy rain.

Mr HAYLLAR said in reply to Mr Keswick that the institution was a Magdalene eatab ishment for fallen women. He supported the proposal.

Mr Lowouck sald the matter had been discussed in the Finance. Com altteo, but there was an objection to granting a sum as compensation for dam ager from the rains, as that might open the way to other claims. Otherwise he was

When this special envoy of the Governor's arrived in Hok-shu-ha the missionaries, Mears Quesmann and Schalble, resorted to the Ya-mun which was temporarily erected on the spot, to witness the pro deedings. They were by no means im pressed with the Wut-yeu's judgmont us being impartial, and really meant to eluci date the truth, and were grieved to soe that torture was applied to the accused in order to make him confess to having killed a man.

Where will this ond?

It shows that those people are ontirely ignorant of any existing trostles, and of the right missionaries have by thom, to teach the Christian religion in China, as well se of the protection which is promised to all Uhinese wishing to adopt the same, Whore fault is this? Certainly if goverors and mandarins oucourage their subjects in auch enmity against foreigners and their religion, instead of informing them of the true stato of things and warning them not to foolishly commit acts which cannot be tolerated, the conseteners may be very serious Timely warning would be a risl benefit to the Chinese.
