THE FRIEND OF CHINA, AND HONG-KONG GAZETTE.

VICTORIA, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY, 6TH 1844.

We have been desired, by high Authority, to direct the attention of the Commissioners to the present state of our Roads, and the inefficient drai- nage of onr City. We are glad to observe a nu. merous arrival of Ladies in our Colony, and unlike the Ladies in India,it gives us pleasure to see, that they are anxious to maintain their health by the delightful recreation of walking exercise, but many have mentioned to us the impossibility of so doing from the dreadful state of our Roads, often Ancle deep in Mud,

We would beg as directed, to draw the attention of our Authorities to the drainage of the City. It cannot be expected in the heat of Summer that we can possibly be healthy-with such ineficient drainage. Every one is aware of the Mortality which took place last Summer and which we atribute entirely to the above source.

There are localities, where pure Water runs by the sides of the Roads and carries off alf impurities, in which, no cases of what has been deigna ted The Hongkong fever have taken place the situation being from the house lately taken by The. Honorable General D'Aguilar &c., &c. &c, før- merly Lanes Hotel-to the house at present occu- pied by Captain Burd, (both inclusive.)

We do hope that the Commissioners recently appointed will give their most serious attention, to the duties which devolve upon them and which if neglected, we have the best Medieal Authorities in our Island for asserting, will again be the cause of great mortality.

We would recommend most particularly, the covering over of all open Sewers-and mere par- ticularly the gullys passing through our city, preg nant with every impurity that can be mentioned.

With respect to the Land Sales, we have again had several Letters, and there appear so many strong-arguments on both sides that we have determined to leave for the present, the meat to be settled by the putants. It impor with our limited space that we can enter into evol dispute, with the press of important Commercia and other matter we have present on hanet

We are glad to see Ladies, already settling in Canton, so long shut out from that Community.

CEMETRY A Gentleman having purchased a lot of Land, unsuitable for building purposes is anxious to form a Joint Stock Company for the formation of a Cemetry. It must be evident to the weakest mind that the contemplated project will prove a safe investment, as the Grave Stones are already in a plenti- and should it not succeed, there is every reason to ful supply upon the Lot, and only require engraving, suppose, that only 15 per cent will have to be paid on its abandonment. For particulara enquire at the office, where a Map of the hi may be seen and the largest of Messrs. Quirk, Gammon, and Snap, Saffron Hill,

stones (suitable of course only for Mandarins) are given upon the plan, The Cauailę Stones, will be put up at an upset price which at present we cannot exactly denominate, Having enumerated the advantages, we have only one drawback to mention that no Gentleman can be buried here until he makes a Road up to it, and brings his own Earth to cover him.
