The Telephones used by the Com- pany ara the Combination Bell-Edison, These Instruments which are far su-
perior to all other Telephones on ac count of their great distinctness of sound combined with easy manage- thement, have mot with unrivalled success throughout the world, and are now also adopted by the British Govern- ment Departments in England and India.
phone Exchange in Hongkong, above Company hereby beg to invite Subscriptions from the Public.
Throughout Europe and America Telephone Exchanges have gained such a reputation by facilitating daily inter- course and by ensuring the safety of private and public property, that they my now be considered indispensable in all large Cities and Business Centres. Hongkong with its vast commercial transactions and valuable property, is essentially a place, where a well con- dacted Telephone Exchange will bo of the greatest use, and in laying this Prospectus before the Public, the Com. pany hopes that it may mount upon the general support not only of the mer. chants and professional members of the Community, but also of the different Government Departments in order to render the service as efficient as pos- sible.
The Exchange will be worked in the following way, viz.: a head Office will be established in the central part of the town provided with the best Tele- phone appliances according to the new. est and most approved European and American inventions. Each subscri-
ber will be supplied with a complete set of Instraments and will be put in direct communication with the central office by separate wires.
When wishing to use the Telephone, a Subscriber will only have to call the Central Station and give the name of the party, he wishes to speak with, the wires are theu immediately switched together, and the two Subscribers will be in direct communication with each other. When they have finished, the Central Office is notified to that effect by a Bell Signal, the wires are thea disconnected, and any other connection can be made if desired and so on. The dialogue between the subscribers is of course quite private and can only be hoard by the two parties concerned. It should distinctly be understood, that the message are not spoken to the Cen. tral Office, and thence transmitted to the person to be communicated with, but the two wires are simply switched together, thus forming one continuous line, over which conversation can be carried with perfect ease and privacy.

The subscription fee will to some ex-. tent depend upon the number of sub scribers, but the price will not exceed $150 per annum for town' subscribers. The following boundaries will be taken as terminating the town, viz.: West.- The Gas Works. East.--Police Station No. 2. South. Caino Road and Kennedy Road, etc. Subscribers out. side these limits would have to pay a proportionally higher charge according to the length of wire required and the difficulties to be overcome in construct- ing and maintaining the line. The subscription will be binding for one year, payable quarterly in advance.
All maintenance expenses of Instru- inents and wires are included in the above price, and the subscribers will have nothing to pay beyond the fixed. annual charge.
The Central Office will be under competent supervision, and an efficient staff of clerks will be in attendance during office hours.
The Company will also undertake, to make private arrangements for persone wishing to be in direct communication with their offices, godowns, etc., and to take over the maintenance of such liges at reasonable charge.
In order to expedite the work, sub- scribers are requested to send in their names to the undersigned agent at an early date.
Should sufficient support not be ro. ceived, the Company is not bound to establish the Exchange.

"THE HONGKONG DIRECTORY AND HONG LIST FOR THE FAR EAST" will, in order that it may circulate extensively outside this Colony, be published at a POPULAR PRICE, and can be or- dered at this Office or obtained from the Agente (list to be hereafter pub-Prudencia lished) for
TWO DOLLARS. There is not space in the compass of an ordinary advertisement to detail all the mass of information it is in tended to introduce into the work, but it may be fairly asserted that no such Directory has ever been published, either in Hongkong, or any part of the East, at the price.
