The Mainichi Shimbun mentions that the new Chinese Minister, Mr. Li, being very anxious for the development of the navy of his own courtry, frequently makes inquiries of Admiral Kawamura, Minister of the Navy, respecting the Japanese maritime force. He is also said to be very fond of the martial music composed in Japan, and has lately sent two or three music books to military officials in China.
According to the Jainichi, there are within. the jurisdiction of the Osaka Fu, one hundigd al thirty-seven inines, of which forty-four have been opened during the past two years. The estal value of their out-turn to 1881 was 2,734,000 yea, and the tax paid by them 1.750 yen. The most remunerative are said to be those which Mr. Golai Tomatsu rents fren the Government.

During the math of February 1 vessels, gregating 39,334 tons, were put into the water by dhe various firms on the lyde. Only one sailing vessel is included in the returns, and the largest launch was the Glenagle of 4,000 tons. The new work comprises t screw-steamers (one built of steel), one sailing ship, one barge, one iron barge, one steam yacht, and one hopper barge. Last month r vessels, measuring 21,880 tons, were launched, being, in point of numbers as well as tonnage, considerably tnder the total for the current month. The figures are also in excess of the corresponding month in previous years. In February, 1881, the returns aftounted 18 24,754 tons; in February, 1880, te 15,874 tons; is February, 1879, to 18,200 tons.

The number of acres under poppy cultivation in Bengal was in 1876 556,013, and is in 1881-82 562,263. The price paid to the cultivator for raw opun was in 1877 reduced from 5 rupees to 43 rapces per seer.

Sir C.

Until those negotia tions are conclurted it would not be convenient to

Her dimensions are 350 ft. in lengtli, 44 f, beam, and 31 ft. hoki, with a large canying capacity and a gross tenuage of 3,010 tons. She was built by Messes, K. Napier and sons, Glasgow. A special form of engine has been designed by them se as to utilise advantageonsly steam of a high pres- sure. There are three cylinders--a high, a me- dium, and a low pressure; and by this ar ragement a very notable saving of fuck has been obtained. The vessel was loaded with 2,000 tons of dead weight and tried on two different days for the purpose of ascertaining the con- sumption of coal and the speed of the ship. Durders free access Ing a four hours trial the coal was weighed, giving a consumption of 128 lb. of coal per in dicated horse-power-equivalent to 1 ton 1 cwt. par hour. The speed obtained with this con- sumption was found to be 126 knots on the measured mile. The other trial showed con.
sunivalent of 1.58 1b. per indicated horse-power- of 1374 knots per hour. Immediately on the completion of the trials the vessel sailed for London. The consumption of fuel and speed at tained on the passage round confirmed the results obtained at the previous trials.
