THE undersigned has in his possession a sum of about $5,300 accruing priucipally from the amount recovered from the Chinese Government for the value of the Fire Engines, &c., which be- longed to the Foreign Community in Canton and were destroyed at the burning of the Factories in 1856.

The undersigned has no information which would enable him to make a proper distribution of this money amongst the original Subscribers, and he therefore begs to suggest its appropriation to this Fund now being raised for the erection of a City Hall and Theatre in Hongkong. In the absence of any objection to this course the amount will be so transferred on the 1st May next.
