The Lite confict between our Senators and disasters until owners are compelled to provide The Head of the Executive, as you have several proper life-saving appliances either in the form mathes pointed out, arose out of a queer fact ered with journalism. The whole thing Makatibelwas,that. Guvernor Costa wished to kerge the Circin Mossense tightly muzzled even in wallet diplomatic mission to Stam Pike onestly dylumst had nothing to fear from the meme in! Independente, or the semi- pjusrond, Voz de Create. The Carrein was his hguard and as he really had no business w to drain the Macão treasury in order By his tolling tastes, he thought it job to leave no stone unturned until be seur d the Correio's silence over the nutter.
This is low he managed it. Among the profesurs of the St. Joseph's College there is an aalivadial who writes for the Correio, under the inspuation of another entity who is a veritable Markavel at lige in our honourable city. To epivate the Correio, the Governor knew be had waly to earn the redoubtable professor's sympathy. He paid, a visit to St. Joseph's College, where a municipal school is Incated, indulged in a fewcomplimentary words regarding the teacher he had selected in his mind's eye, and og returning to Government House issued what is termed here a portaria, a decree or an irade, which formerly used to be affixed on the items of public edifices and thence derived its name, praising this Professor of the Correio, to tin cxclusion of all the other teachers of St. Joseph's Thereupon the Correio kept its own Comisel over the Siamese embassy, and Senhor da Costa, with wife and family, proceeded in Peace to Bangkok.
The un-belauded professors were ablaze with magisterial indignation. Two of them bad for longer records of service in the cause of education than the Carrito scribbler cald boast of, and they thought themselves injured by the Governor's policy of exclusiveness: Had they enquired of His Excellency the motives which led him to St. Joseph's, they would not. perhaps have resented the praises su liberally bestowed on their junior colleague. But as they could not untarel mysteries diplomatic, they forthwith made complaint to the Senators from whom they had received their appointments. The dames of indignation spread to the paires conscripti in solemn conclave assembled. A stormy session of the Senado was held, and the Governor's idiosyncracy, shown in his select manner of administering praise, was condemned, nemine dissentiente. The Secretary wast ld to insert this disapproval of the Camara of His Excellency's conduct towards the Professor in the minutes, and these were published when the Head of the Executive was on the high seas voyaging towards Bungkok.
Senhor Costa Duarte, the Acting Governor, would not swallow the freezing.mixture adminis tered to his chief, and he intimated to the body senatorial that they should re-consider their rash "be blowed." The attack op the Governor, or Senado Ricked against its moderator; the Registrar. General was ordered to demand that the session whereby the Governor was censured be cancelled but he preferred resignation to having to fulfil such a mission. The question was inally referred to the Provincial Council which decided against the Sanado; and the Senddo then appealed to Lisbon.

The Chairman sail-Gentlemen, there is very little to add to what appears in the report, for the information of the shareholders. The whole year has been occupied in negotiations with the London-syndicate, with the object of formninga- new company to work the property of the present. Company. These negotiations have been exceedingly protracted, but on 10th December a telegram was received from the syndicate accepting the terms off red for the purchase of the property. On the following day à telegam was despatched from here closing the atter with the syndicate. Written advices from the syndi- cate gave promise of the report upon the property being received in February, but unfortunately, so far, no information on the subject has come to, band. A strongly worded telegram has been despatched to the syndicate requiring definite information as to what has been done, and it will probably be necessary to despatch a second, if some satisfactory explanation is not received during the next few days. The position of the Company renders it necessary to ask the share holders to pass a resolution authorising the liquidation of the Company at the discretion of the Directors, but before putting the resolution to the vote, I shall be jlad to answer any
questions the shareholders may have to put.
Mr. Wainewright' asked if it were competent for the Directors to propese this resolution with out special notice.
Mr. Drummond said it was, and that the resolution was a mere amplification of the powers which the Directors, already possessed, as given them by the shareholders at the last annual meeting, to dispose of the whole property and assets of the Company.
The first resolution was proposed by Mr. Drummond, seconded by Mr. Hogg, and carried unanimously
That the Directors be, and they are hereby empowered to liquidate the Company at their discretion.

(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)
Tamsui, gth March, 1888. After nearly six weeks rain and strong casterly gales, which made it so cold and uncomfortable As to necessitate fires daily, the month of March has brought with it beautifully fine, spring weather; but it has come too early to lead us to rxpect a continuation of it, for we are almost certain to have more cold weather with rain before we can say that summer has commenced in reality,
On the roth instant the overland line between here and Tai-wan-foo was completed. A small submarine cable is laid across the river to connect the line with the telegraph station here.
On the ith the steamer Formosa arrived from Hongkong and 'Amoy. She brought us Mr. Bourne, who will act as H.B.M.'s Consul in place of air. Gile, who, with his family, is going
home on leave of absence.
Mr. J. G Liddell, of the Amoy Dock Company, has laen over here for some time. He has some transactions with the Governor of Formosa, for whom he is at present building the hull of a dredger for the deepening of Kelung harbour, the machinery for which was brought bare by the Formata, and ordered through Messrs. Russell & Co. The contract stipulates that the dredger shall be finished within two months, and it is to be delivered here.
The Telegraph steamer Fee Chen, with the Foo Pos and Was Ting, is at-present engaged bringing railway material from the two sailing vessels discharging at Kelung
