able nature of which way, perhaps, account for the rapidity with which the flames spread and gutted the house before any assistance had arrived. Two Chinese manual engines were on the scene, that of the Nam Pak Hong and another belonging to a hong in Jervois Street, but there was in reality no need for their services. No. 6 Government manual also came up, but was not worked, No. 7 manual, which was dragged up to the hill above the house and worked admirably, being quite sufficient for all purposes. Mr. McEwen, the Superintendent of the Government Fire Brigade was present, also Mr. Horspool, the Acting Captain Superintendent of Police, as well

as several members of the Goverament and Volunteer Fire Brigades. Crowds of Chinese lined the hill above to the west, and when all was nearly over, a herd of gnats descended the hill on to Kennedy Road near its termination, and, from that coign of vantage, appeared to survey the crowd in the valley below with much interest.

OUR CONTEMPORARIES.

There is nothing particularly stu ling in last night's China Mail, if we except the specula- tions which the worthy leader writer indulges' in as to what new line Governor Hennessy has taken in his attempt to hoodwink the Home Authorities" in the matter of the conversion of

the old Luck Hospital into a General Hospital. As the speculations alluded to and the polite reference to the Governor are not likely either to injure or interest any body in Hongkong or elsewhere, we nerd not dwell on them here.

Our contcmporiy hears that the threatened spoliation of the Botanic Garden ground is so regarded by E., Adninistrator Tonnothy that he declines to take the responsibility of taking such a step-the proximity of the land to the "garden on the hill" notwithstanding.
