CANTON, May 17. Yesterday, near the Yau Lan gate, the rear portion of a building entirely collapsed. Fourteen persons, were injured but for tunately no life was lost.

AN INDUSTRIUS MOKK

A monk in the Luk Yung Momstery has established factory for the manufacture of glass ware. He is ranking a special point o of lamp-sandes. This work is said to rival

that of Western countries. A large piece of, ground in the vicinity of the Monastery has been bought for the extrusion of a profitable undertaking.

STREST LMHTING.

The thoroughhures of Canton and Ho.. nam are lighted by streat kamps but most of the by-streets and hues are in dark. ness at night. This is not only very in- convenient for foot passengers but it also affords an opportunity for robbers to carry out their, nefarious designs. The Com mandant of Police has intely issued a notice enlling on the persons of the various neighbourhoods to remedy this evil by "lighting up the small strests and Innes! with lampe at every hundred pads. Ha suggests that the expense be defrayed by public subscription.
