It appeared, from the correspondence we recently published, re the right to erect and use telephones in this Colony, that Mr. Alford had scored one, but the latest item on that subject is that ho is now completely shut out from using or erecting for his own benefit any telephone in this Colony; and farther, that he has been ordered by

the Government to take down his ex. perimental line. The reason, we hear, for this course being taken by the Government is that Mr. Alford erected the line without first obtaining the sanction of the authorities. We also hear that the Great Northern Tolegraph Company, having made application in the proper quarter, has been granted permission to erect telephone lines throughout the Colony.

A typographical error crept into our paragraph in Saturday's issue referring to the retiring pension allowed by Her Majesty's Government to Sir John Smale. Instead of £1,145 6s. 8d. the ex-Chief Justice's annual pension has been fixed at £1,458 68. 8d. The li- berality of the Government in the mat ter will receive general approval.

This match, which was played on Saturday, on a wicket pitched North and South on the Club Ground, was got through smartly, the match being over early in the afternoon. The Gar- rison had the best of it by 22 runs, but the Fusiliers had two wickets to go down when the stumps were drawn. Details appended:

The Willard's Wanderers Company gave their third performance in Hong- kong at the City Hall on Saturday night to a fairly good audience. The entertainment was similar in many re- spects to the two preceding ones, Mr. Willard and Miss Boresford again creating a most favorable impression in their pupular character sketches.

MACAO, 12th November. The flags at Government House, and the various government departments were flown at half-mast yesterday in memory of the late D. Pedro V., who died some 22 years ago,

We had a rather serious encounter between a party of smugglers and a boat's crew of the Chinese Revenue Service on the 9th inst., which resulted. in one man being shot dead and two others wounded. It would appear that the smugglers were attempting to run the neighbouring Chinese territory, a boat load of opium from Macao to when the Customs boat, which had been on the watch, attacked them, and in the affray one of the smugglers was shot through the head, and to others wounded. The smugglers, however, fought so desperately that they ulti-. mately succeeded in getting clear away, without losing any of their contraband cargo.

It is proposed to hold an exhibition in Macao some time next month; of the products of the province of Timor. Through the kindness of Mr. J. A. Corte Real, I had the privilege of inspecting some of the specimens yes.
