We have never been greatly infatuated with the management of this Company, as our readers are well aware, but we certainly consider that the Directors had omple justification for running the Riungchow on the Macao night service, instead of allowing her to lie idle at Canton. The junk opposition between Maeno And this port is undoubtedly a powerful one, and the Khungchow, if properly managed, will certainly prove a troublesome opponent. She may not show very profitable returns to begin with, but there is a wide field in work on, and in time it ought to pay well.
