The utmost result which was expected by the most ardent supporter of the Bill (as an experiment la legislation) was that the returns obtained by its help would give a more accurate idea of the stocks in the post than has been ob tained hitherto, and that the volume of trade passing through and distributed from this port might be better or more easily arrived at than by watching the statistics of other porte concerned.

nust beneficial to our Colony. The idea is to get a large, powerful steamer built, cap able of making the trip to Hongrong in two hours. She will leave here at 7am. and arrive in Hongkong at:9 m., love Hongkong at 5 pm. and arrive at Macao at 7 pm. This will enable any und doing business in Hongkong to resido with his family in Macao, instead of keeping up two houses, one for himself at Hongkong and the other for his family at Macao. Season tickets will be supplied at a moderate rato, It will also give our Chinese friends time to discharge and take in cargo, and it is supe posed that it will do away with the junks altogether, as the Chineas will find it to their advantage.
