The Chinese revenue cruiser Zing Feng has been employed Intely cruising outside and searching the junks from your port and the Straits Senilements for opiuta and other contra. band grinds. She succeeded in seizing about 300 halls of opium on ané julk, but I hear that, the so-calleri search is a farce." The Ling Feng ranges up alongside a jurk and looks at her papers, perhaps the hoarding officer puts his A
head down the hatches to see if the cargo is all right, and that is all it is impossible to make a proper search while at sea.
The night before last there was one of the loudest claps of thunder that has ever been heard in this port, accompanied by two of thứ most vivid flashes of lightning; fortunately no material damage was done. The house occupied by Mr. Coulthurst was struck, but the lightning only knocked off the top of a chimney and then went through the roof of the kitchen.
I hear that the native opium crap, this year is the best that they have ever had,
The charming island of Kulangsai is rapidly becoming a Chinese city; native houses are springing up in every direction, and Mr. Cheang Hong Lim, a wealthy Singanate merchant, is trying to buy up all or nearly all the foreign- built houses on the island. Nearly half of them are already owned by Chinese.
Mr. W. Holland has arrived from Newchwang, where he has been acting as consul for nearly two years, to take up his post as British vice- consul here.
Dr. C. Mery goes home by the next German mail.
I don't think the Douglas Steamship Com- pany will pay such a handsome dividend this year as they did last, as they have lost nearly all the transhipment of te to Hongkong for the United States. Both the Occidental and Oriental and Pacific Mail Co.'s Beamers are calling bere regularly, and take the tea direct,
