COLONEL Charles Gordon, R.E., now command- ing the Royal Engineers in the Mauritius, has, says Fruth, received orders to go to Basutoland.

Intimations.

Colonel Gordon's administrative capacity, especi- THE CITY OF MANILA CIGAR STORE, -ully in the case~ of half civilised-communities,is- well-known, and it is to be hoped he will restore order in that distracted district,

We read that a project is on, foct for starting a floating exhibition of British manufactures round the world. For this purpose the steamship Viceroy (3,000 tons) has been chartered, and as soon as the exhibits are carefully bestowed on board and the other arrangements have been made, it is proposed to start her on a cruise to India, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and other places, in order, as the prospectus declares, that manufacturers, patenters, and others shall be able to bring samples of their specialities under notice at the chief foreign and colonial markets in an attractive and satisfactory manner." The voyage is to begin in June and to last about a year. The agents are Messrs. F. Green and Co., 13, Fenchurch-avenue London.

CORRESPONDENCE.

(We do not necessarily endorse the opininis expressed by Correspondents in this cùlungs. ),

TO THE EDITOR ar the "Hosgaona, Teluggaril” S43,-1 observe in the the Daily Press under the heading "Hongkong St. Andrew's Society" the following advertisement :-"In compliance with provisions of Rule 2, a special general meeting of the members is hereby convened, to he huden in the City Hall, on Friday evening, 26th instant, at six o'clock." This notice is signed by A. MacClymont, Hon. Sec. Pro. Tem."

may

As a Scotchman, resident for over fifteen years in this Colony, who has moreover always taken a prominent part in the annual celebrations held in honor of our Patron Saint, I perhaps be permitted, without laying myself open to any charge of being unduly inquisitive to ask what is this Hongkong St. Andrew's Society, when and by whom was it established, and for what objects? Can you, Sir, give me any information on these points?

The necessity for a St. Andrew's Society, or other public institution by which the Scotchmen of Hongkong can hold their annual celebrations with credit to the "land of brown heath, and shaggy wood," and also form a fund for the aid of our distressed and deserving countrymen, has long been apparent; but such an institution, to prove a success, must be of a thoroughly national character, and should be publicly constituted. If, as appears to be the case in the Society about which I am now enquiring, a few private individuals have taken it upon them selves to form what ought to be a national society, these persons have been guilty of gross impertinence, which deserves the censure of all

loyal Scots. With many other Scotchmen in the colony, who would be proud to support a St. Andrew's Society, I shall feel greatly favored if you can give me the information required.

Hongkong, 19th May, 1892. [We will make inquiries, and endeavour in our next issue to give our correspondent the in- formation he desires. As the notice conven- ing the meeting referred to, has not been sent to this juurnal-which would have been the case had this so-called St. Andrew's Society been ither a national or public institution-we infer mis merely a private institution, with whic hic general public can have no concern. Show we find,, however, that it is a similar case to that, related by Canning, of the Three Tailors of Tooley Street, Southwark, who headed a petition to the House of Commons We, fe people of England," we will take it upon ourselves, as a representative of Scottish interests, to express our opinions in no uncertain language on what would be, as our corres pondent puts it, "gross impertinence."-Ed.
