INTIMATION

Let us repeat theu, as a sober, deliberate opinion, that in possessing a Governor who | acis ne well as talke, this Colony is at the | present time oxtremely, and, we might almost ald, unusually fortunate. Just how much we are inslebted to His Excellency's por

In the meantime, the official announcement that a party of surveyors engaged to locate the line within British territory is actually ov its way to Hongkong (having left on the 12th May) is sufficiently promising and defiuitu to-demand applause.

The part about which we feel some uneasiness is that which provides for the "discouraging the landing of men in the Colony likely to become destitute within a short time of their arrivui there." It all depends how and by whom this probability is to be decided. Is every arrival who possessed less than a fixed minimum amount of money likely to A. S. WATSON & CO. become destitute?"

A DANGEROUS CARGO.

A native was charged before Mr. G. N. Orme at the Police Court yesterday with sending or attempting to send dangerous goods to wit,

gunpowder, to apert in China without distinctly marking the nature of the gouds on the outside of the packages containing same; with not giving written instractions of the nature of such goods, or the address of the senders, to the owner or master of the Rs. Chutong at the time of taking same on board, and with sending or carrying on board goods to which a faley trade description has been applied.

The powder was concealed in samahu jars, also | in ten-pols and biscuit tius, and is believed to have been destined for West River pirates. The strange cargo was discovered secreted in woman's cabin, when the 1d of one of the fagots was opened.

His Worship fined the def ndout $1·10-on tle first charge and $259 on the second.

The fact that among these latter is a middy named Arthur Roberts is worth noting, for with such a name he might well be respon sible for the practical joking, bilarity, and "ragging" which ended in the retirement on balfpay of Captain Gamble. That there have been too many gambols on the Kent seeps evident; but that the removal of the Owner" was thereby necessary is much more doubtful point.
