Mr. Woodin moved the second resolution, which Mr. Judd seconded, and which was passed. Mr. Hirst moved the third, which Mr. Wegener seconded. That having been adopted,
The Chairman announced that a confirmatory raceting would be held on the 6th September, and the proceedings then terminated.
THE 'SELAMÀ TIN MINING CO., LIMITED.
The following is the report for presentation to the shareholders at the first ordinary meeting to be held at the office of the Company, Queen's Road, on Saturday, the 30th August, 1890, at 12 o'clock, noon !---
The Directors have the pleasure to submit a feport on the working of the Company together with a statement of accounts from its formation to the 30th June last, showing the sum of $34,888.87 at debit of Working Account la connection with the property at Selama, and $5.727.22 on the outlying land for which permits have been obtained. ·
Advices of July 29th report the shalt as being at a depth of 157 feet, and that it was intended to commence driving the west level the next day, to be followed by a level to the eastward..
The prospecting permit over 300 seres of ground at Ulu Kambatan (Songei Basong), referred to in the report of 7th November last, has been allowed to lapse, but that at Blandin Mabok has been continued, and similar permits over a like area of 300 acres at Klian Bahru and Kints have been taken out, the evidence of minerals (silver lend at Blanda Mabox and Klian Bahru, and tin at Kinta) being encouraging,
The 37-acre black, which, it will be remem. bered, your Directors had in, contemplation to acquire, has been selected and taken in a strip of ground 600 yards in length by 300 yards in breadth along the course of the lode to the south west, and adjoining the original concession; two outcrops of similar formation to that at the shaft Baving been opened up close to the junction of the concession and extension,

This style of building is dangerous when the house gets old, but it is cheaper by several strings of cash, and is thus adopted. The con- sequence, in the late storm, was the ruin of thousands of buildings, many of which fell in the night. Many cases are reported in which persons were killed by the heavy roof, but this seems to be a not uncommon incident of slanting summer storms, and excites no surprise. The houses destroyed will be built again on the same plan, in the hope that it may be fifty years before they fall the next time!

I counted my chicks before they were hatched. for at 2.30 am, that dread of passengers on the high seas, the fire-bell, rang out its ominous chimes! The ship was on fire At once roused up Sydney Coxon (of Hongkong) who sprang out of his bunk like a year-old and with a lurch of the ship was sent crashing into the cabins on the opposite side of the saloon, while I held on to the table like grim death and shouted "all hands on deck! Fire Fire!" The result was startling in the extreme, Piercing shrieks, swearing, struggling, and shouts of "steward, whisky," at once fell on my cars, and fearing that I bad acted prema- turely I at once dashed for the remaining pieces of Coxon, who had been severely shaken by his somersault over the table, and then cleared out Je deck in my pyjamas.

the smell of smoke topside entered my nostrils, and when I got as far as the bridge I could see the smoke coming out of the forecastle. The Captain who, as well as his officers, was as cool as a cucumber taken out of refrigerator (the one, where the stowaways cooled off at Brisbane), said that the fire was in the fore-peak, where sails, ropes and all kinds of ship's stores were stowed away, and that it was a water-tight compartment, being, in fact, separated from the heid by a huge collision bulk-head. The various lengths of fire hose were at once brought to bear upon this compartment, and soon we had a continuous stream of water pouring down the "peak." This was about two hours before we reached Sydney Heads. The ladies, poor things, bad, of course, got up and dressed, and were, when I went aft to tell them that there was no immediate danger, sitting with their children in the cabin with arby while faces and at the highest plich of excitement. Coxon and I"made a break" for our cabins "chop-chop," and got out some whisky which we gave them to drink (and some for ourselves to, you het), as it was a bitterly cold morning-being here mid-winter, and frosty weather. After we got a drop, of whisky into our freezing fellow passengers, -— 140,041.13 there was no difficulty in persuading them 10 come up to the emo ing room, whence Agents..............$ 2,0103

As we entered the Heads at 4 45, volumes of smoke were still issuing from the fore-peak, but this didn't frighten us then as we knew that the Captain could quickly land in on the shores ef New South Wales should any necessity arise for his so doing When our anchor was dropped the bose was still playing upon that troublesome fore-peak, which had nearly made our hearts jump out of our mouth. As soon as the anchor was down the geniat skipper came aft and had a chat with us over most enjoyable hot coffee, and he cracked jokes ad lib: until the ladies were well-nigh in

I cannot close this brief report of a very bad time without paying a tribute to the Captain and officer's of the steamer who behaved, under very trying circumstances, in a manner which made us all feel proud that we were true-born Britons, The most perfect discipline was maintained throughoutBritons were expected, at that time, fearlessly to do their dutysed they did $355,000.00 it grand.y too. The only one that made on as 39.20 of himself was your correspondent who scared the passengers with his yell of "fire! All bands $355.039.90 on deck!" "But you needn't give me away, for
I certainly meant well."
From the foregoing it will be seen that the Taiyuan has experienced more than her fair sbare of trials and difficulties during her latest to Australia, and that her Captain and 5,567.87mcers acted in a most praiseworthy manner from first to last. Of course the origin of the fire is enshrouded in the usual mystery,
COLLISION ON THE FANGTSZA
The Chinese are seldom at a loss for an explanation of anything unusual, and the eccentricities of the weather are plausibly accounted for on the ground that, owing to the intercalary secon i moon, the fifth month is really
the sixth, and the sixth month, is of course the
time when heavy rains are to be expected. It often seems strange to westerners that the uncertainties of a lunar year are not more felt by the Chinese as a serious inconvenience. The evils attending such a calendar are indeed recognised, especially in years bringing in
calary months, when the year, instead of omprising the theoretical number (never actually realised) of 360 days, actually covers 384 days. It is a proverb that the poor man (who works by the day) is always encountering a year with an intercalary moon, when he gets only the same pay us in an ordinary year of about 354 days. The inconveniences of the system are largely remedied by the twenty-four

The convenience to the Chinese of having a calendar by which to regulate the faire and markets, which are set for certain fixed days of the moon, is so great that there is little prob ability of alteration for a thousand years to come.
