As regards the excise officer and alleged sanitary inspector, His Worship said he would report the case to the Governor, recommeding the man's dismissal, and deportation.

THE BANK OF COREA.

The Government is preparing to erect a large building in foreign style in the centre of the city, for use as the Central Bank of Corea. It will be a three-story building and the stones for the foundations are alreaily on the ground. It is intended to establish branches of this bank in all the thirteen provinces. It is not proposed to issue a paper currency, but the Bank will facilitate the transfer of money to and from the provinces by a system of drafts. It will be a bad blow to the highwayman of the conatry The beneilt to bo dorived from the bank will be principally the saving in the transport of money which has always been a Bevore tax on the Govanmont.
