The ordinary annual meeting of shareholders was held at the office of the Company No. 7 Queen's Road, Central, at noon to-day, Feb. 14th for the purpose of receiving a statement of accounts to 31st December last, and the report of the general managers, Messrs. Jardine, Matheson & Co. There were present:-Hon. F. B. Johnson (Chiarman), Messrs. V. C. Rocha, D. McCulloch, Douglas Jones, J. P. Madar, W. N. Bain, M. B. Polishwalla, J. Pestonice, A. Coxon, J. Bell-Irving, H. C. Maclean, G.. C, Cox,
Parfitt, A. G Stokes, and T. Jackson. nless the meeting
The Chairman said that unless had any special information to ask with regard to the report and accounts, the general managers had little or nothing to add. He was assured by the manager that the buildings and works were in first class onder, and would require no repairs for some tinic to come. He hoped the shareholders would confirm the policy advocated by the general managers of writing out of the profits the amount paid for the goodwill of the business, and maintaining a reserve. He would propose that the report and accounts be passed, and would be happy to answer any questions,
Mr. Coxon reconded.
Mr. Douglas Jones said that while they were to be congratulated on the success of the Company, and upon the wise provision made to create a reserve fund, one thing occurred. to him. The accounts showed there was a charge of 40 per cent. for salaries, wages, &c., on the gross carnings of $38,411, which he thought very considerable. He merely, men- tioned this, in case there might be some way of explaning it with a view to a reduction.
The Chairman asked Mr. Jones if he had any special motion to make, and being answered in the negative, said the salaries, wages, &c., in cluded all expenses for the process of ice making. Perhaps Mr. Bain could explain.
Mr. Bain said the salaries, &c., formed the
than before.
The Chairman said the matter should be looked into, and if any reduction could be made, It should be done.

3rd.We are of opinion that the master, Mor ris George Scott, committed a grave error in judgment in not making the signal of a fire on boast ship provided by the Harbour Regulations Had the proper signals been made, assistance would most probably have been supplied by the several ships of war in the port, and by the ships of the mercantile marine.

He had always held that education must always be suited to the wants of the masses and not of the few, and he believed that one of the greatest wants in Hong- kong was for them to fit their boys to take situations both in Government offices and in mercantile employment. He, believed that St. Joseph's College had done its work in this direction, for out of forty boys who had left them during the year, no less than twenty had obtained good situations in such offices two fa Government offices, three with solicitors, four with bankers, and eleven in mercantile firms.

All this good work done by the Christian Brothers towards the starting of this important class was due to the magical effect of a special prize which had been given by their liberal and generous friend, Mr. Be gratitude in that College (applause).

the vessel was not to be pressed, as he did not kad given orders that wish this rate of speed to be exceeded. The sca Was rather lumpy in the Lys-ce-moon Pass and outside Cape D'Aguilar, but inside the Lamma Channel the water was comparatively smooth. During a run of two hours at the above indicated speed the vessel behaved splendidly. The maximum 14 kt speed attained for a short period was The machinery and boilers were in charge of Mr. Williams, and with the exception of one of the crank head bearings which ran warm, and some slight trouble from the boilers priming, the vessel's performance was considered eminently satisfactory by all the officials concerned.
The Vigilant returned to hermoorings shortly before one o'clock. Outside Green Island she met H.M.S. Encounter under sail bound for Manila, and the Admiral slowed down and ran alongside. The trip, taken altogether, must be considered an eminently satisfactory one, and there can be no doubt that the machinery of the vessel has been greatly strengthened and im-
proved.
We believe it is the intention of the Admiralty to replace the Vigilant on this station by either the Lively or Salamis, of the same class, early next year. Admiral Willes, whose period of service as Commander-in-chief in China w expire about the same time, will probably return to England in the Vigilant.

The entry for the classic event of our annual racing carnival originally exceeded in point of quality as in numerical strength all previous entries; but unforeseen circum- stances have reduced the event to some- thing even lower than its asual level. Acci dents and the casualties of training have denuded the Derby of the great interest which it at one time possessed, by placing on the shelf the whole of the high class ponies in the original entry. Undoubtedly the best racers amongst the whole 26 were Filbert, Discount, Scottish Chief, somewhat singular circumstance that the whole Highland Fling, Pelham and Hornpipe, and it is
of these well-tried ponies should have met with various mishaps to destroy their prospects of success in the great race of the meeting

We are given to understand that Lodge X has extended its sphere of action, and has already. "run in" three English speaking Chinese, while others are on the probationary list. This new move is decidedly to be commended, as many of the Chinese employed on ships are very apt to acquire a love for "fire water" as they gain a knowledge of our language, which is not a desir able thing, for a "chinkie" in "rum" is a deplor- able looking object indeed. We are glad to name of the Revd. Mr. Lee, as it cannot be find amongst the list of office bearers the doubted that the, noble example shewn by this genilenian will exercise a strong influence on those under his spiritual care, and strengthen the idea that the order of Good Templars is a grand institution. We have much pleasure In wishing Lodge X every success in their labors in the cause of Temperance, and feel sure that while the present workers keep together they need have no fear of obtaining good results.
"EVERY MAN HIS OWN LAWYER.”
Sir Richard Temple Rennie, the new Chief Justice of H.B.M's Supreme Court in China and Japan, sat on the bench for the first time in Shanghai on Wednesday morning, the 14th inst The occasion was the annual revision of the Jury List when an opportunity is offered to anyone to come forward and show cause why his name should not be included in the list of loyal and registered British subjects who are prepared to devoted their time and attention to Coroner's inqucats or trials by jury,
The Court presented a desolated aspect. Sam- ples of "old lion camlets" still lay about the counsels' table-relics of the cause célèbre hoard in November last. Three reporters were present, eager to get something to do. The general publie were absent.
Mr. Henry Evans, of Manck Sherbourne, ap. peared with a law book under his arm, and took his seat behind the Counsels' table." -
When the Chief Justice had taken his seat on the bench,
Mr. M. Jones, Clerk of Court, asked · Mr. Evans if he had any objection to make to his name being placed in the Jury List for 1883.
Mr. Evans-Yes, I am over 69 year of age. His Lordship—I don't find that that is any reason for exempting you, Mr. Evans." The but it does not say anything about age. If your with mental or bodily infirmity, then we might ground for objection was that you were afflicted consider it.
