the O. & O. S. S. Co. maintain a mail service with San Francisco, and the E. & A. S. S. Co., the Gibb Line, and the C. N. Co. keep up a frequent but irregular service with the Australian Colonies. In addition to all these, several great lines of merchant steamers maintain regular communication between London, Liverpool, and Hongkong, of which the Ocean S. S. Co. and the Glen and Castle lines are the most conspicuous. The Austro-Hungarian Lloyd's steamers also run from Trieste to Hongkong, and the Florio Rubattino Company's steamers run monthly from Genoa. The N. I. S. N. Co. maintain direct monthly communication between Java and Hongkong. Between the ports on the east coast of China and Hongkong the steamers of the Douglas S. S. Co. ply regularly twice a week, and there is constant steam communica tion with Hoihow, Manila, Saigon, Haiphong, Bangkok, &c. With Shanghai and the ports of Japan there is frequent communication in addition to the English and French mail steamers, which leave weekly. Between Hongkong, Macao, and Canton there is a daily steam service. The telegraphic communication of the Colony extends to nearly every part of the world.
