His Excellency-I have nothing to do with what the courts have held. I simply put this xecnoń in, and although I cannot say that thin Ordinance is intended to cover Manila lotters tickets, I think it would. I am not saying this to prejudice the Courts in any way. They would not, of course, be prejudiced by whatever I might sav. They take the Section as, it stands and put their own. construction on it. As I have already said, the object of this Ordinance was not to deal with Manila lottery tickets. I only mentioned when brought this Bilt in that if members con- sented to this I should be obliged to introduce a measure dealing with Manila lottery tickets. 1 never contemplated Manila lottery tickets in this Ordinance, but I certainly think that anyone who keeps an office for the sale of them would come within this Ordinance.
Mr. P. Rysie-There has been a prosecution of that kind recently in Singapore.

(3) The embankment will serve as a long dyke to protect the villages and fields from the periodical inundat ons of the Yün Ro and Fung Ho. The surplus water will still, however, find a means of egress by the arches of the bridges and by the drains which will be built.
(4) During the rainy season just before autumn, carts and, horses find great diffi- rulty in getting along; while the water- road is impeded sometimes by fods, some- times on the other hand, by shallowing of the water. All the students going to Peking for x amination, and all the merchants who travel that way, will look on the new railway as a boon and a blessing." The stations en route will each promote traffic and trade in its own neighbourhood, and give employment to nume- rous carts and boata, as has been found already on the Tientsin-Taku line.
(5)
His Excellency-As I said on introducing this Bill it is only a measure preparatory to bringing in a larger one. That will be brought in shortlystantly I requires a large amount of consideration. I find it one of the most difficult subjects I ever hid to deal with, but the present Ordinance was brought in for a specific purpose already mea tioned,
Mr. Ryrie think it was said in the case at Singapore that we had not power to interfere with official documents issued by a friendly power.
His Excellehry - It's absolutely impossible to believe that could have been said. You must surely be in the wrong, or at any rate it could never have been stated in that bald way. You cannot prevent a friendly power corrupting your citizens! Why, the idea is ridiculous.
Mr. P. Ryrie-Mala lottery tickets me sure to be sold and dealt with here whatever laws are passed.

His Excellency-We shall see, perhaps, Mr. Ryrie.
The Bill was then read a third time and passed, and the Council adjourned,

The following is a summary of the petition, or stport :—

To this Report the Viceroy has replied expressing his satisfaction with the result of his and Yenchwang-Tangshan lines. which will be tour of inspection on the Yenchwang-Tientsin of great value for the sale and speedy trans port of troops and munitions of war, "still better than g'eamers," as he expresses it. His Excellency declares that he believes the new railway will afford the five advantages detailed by the un-official members (the Chinese are nothing if not numerical). From Tientsin to Tungchow lies the great road from South to North, and a railway between these two points is bound to pay well and to benefit both the Government and the public in general. The Viceroy therefore has great pleasure in com- municating to the Haiku Yen the petition of the Company to be allowed to extend the line to Tungchow.

The correspondent of the Shanghai Mercury writes from Keelung under daie the 30th ulto.:- The weather has been boisterous here for some time now and it is difficult for vessels to get their cargoes on boud; some difficulty is also experienced in rough weather in the transport froin Coal Harbour, from whence the coal is brought here in junks That will all be chang d when the railway is ready, the harbour dredged, and wharves buit for vessels to go alongside and lond. All these works are intended to be carried out, and plans are made, but what has been commsericed already, the railway far owing to the want of skilled labour, and also instance, is progressing slowly just now, partly largely to the troublesome times.
An. English railway engmeer arrived here from Tientsin by the steamship Johann
The telegraph steamer Fercheu lef this place on the 29th Oltnber with six hundred soldiers for the Pescadores, and the transport Fuhpn called here on the same date for six hundred more for the same destination. Abou the several revolts 1 have been unable to collect reliable information, matters being kept dark an much as possible; but to judge by the brisk move- ments of troops in such considerable numbers as has been the case of late, I conclude I am on the safe side in assuming that maiters must look exceedingly fishy yet inthe disturbed districts,
1 Hear the steamer Smith, which was intended to be used as a troop ship on our costs, to disengage the telegraph steamer Fercheu, is ordered back to Shanghai, and the Frechen is to continue running troops. The Smith, is only to coal here, without taking cargo; so they must be in great haste to get her, back to Shanghai..

Tientsin, October 26th, On the 25th instant, His Ex. We-in-ch'eng commenced his work of closing the gap of the Yellow River, which is do feet wide. Should the water rise, he will postrone the work till December next. Taels 2.000 000 have been remitted by the Board of Revenue to Wu, who thinks he can close the gap without the aid of foreigners.

Further, in respect of the Fire Cracker branch, which hitherto has been carried on under the "Title of " MAEN SHING," under which we have acted, as sole dealers in Canton for many years and during this period our chop, by reason of the superior quality of the Ingredients we employ as well as the first class character of our manu facture, has maintained its pre-eminent position in the markets of the United States of America“
but lately numerous fraudulens imitations of
our goods have been attempted, which hat necessitated, in the interests of the public, our establishing a new Fire Cracker brand that will – hereafter be known as the "CONSTITUTION Cracker. It will be recognised: by our old established mork underneath, win, No, 1 Golden Dragon chop and) our new prefixed title: " CHAN MAKH SHING? at the bottom of the label of our
