The Chinese junk-man at present quite acknowleges and unilerstands the necessity of lights; but with the characteristic fatuous carelessness of his class, having provided the light it seems no manner of concern to him how it is used and where it is placed, and the many and various devices employed in the matter are the cause of much perplexity, unnoyance, and danger to those charged with the navigation of steamers on the waters adjacent to the Colony.

SUPREME COURT,

An excellent shrab for growing in pots and flowering at this time of the year is Fiburnum tomentum, a native of China sad Japan. The most showy part of the inflorescence is the scries of large, white, sterile Sowers which These surtound the smali, yellow, færtile ones. sterile flowers probably serve the purpose of attracting insects to the plant to aid in ite fertilisation.

There are

several of those Viburnums to be seen around the fountain in the old garden.
