For instance, a friend of mine had spent three and a half months over one trip and was arranging for another and a longer one. On shewing his plane to a resident, his friend erquired how long my correspondent thought the trip would take, if done properly? My friend did not know; the resident said he had done a good part of it, so could speak from experience, and the trip as planned would take three years; my friend is doing part of it now.

Mr. Bibby will, therefore, probably be in Singapore (if he catches a steamer early) about Tuesday of next week.
As this is the first instance of any substantial output of gold from Pahang it was thought advisable to circulate it simultaneously in England as well as in Australia and the Straits. Accordingly the news was placed at the disposal of Reuter's agency for transmission to England and it has probably been published this (Thurs. day) morning in the London newspapers, and in the chief provincia!

where Bibby and all hands were hard at work on the crushing. They expect to run for another week or more, and to put through about 250 tops of ore from the mine proper, together with 100 or 150 tons of quartz from an outside lode of lower grade. The result will be, Hibby tells me, from 800 to 1,000 ounces of gold.
It will therefore be seen that the average out put per ton (2 ounces) has probably been reduced by using too tons of lower grade ore laken, we gather, from the "new" or "westerly" lade which was recently discovered, and which runs through the Raub property and into that of the Malay Peninsula Prospecting Company, This lode is said to be of a substantial character and likely to yield stone in quantity. It may be noted that the average of 3 ounces of gold per ton is just the present average of the Mount Margan mine.
Gold as it comes from the smelting works of a mine contains usually some traces of other metal, the percentage of which is deducted on mint assay. If the 870 ounces be taken at 63 15 per ounce the gold from this crushing worth about £3,750.-Straits Times.

An official report has been received from Captain Barnett, dated Penungah 28th July, from which we learn that the murderers of Sergeant Burgin and the traders have been arrested and executed, and that the exploring party under the command of Mr. Dunlap left for the West Coast, with a view to discovering the best line for an overland telegraph. No parti- calars have yet been received of the cause of the attack on the Police and traders, but there is reason, to believe that the deceased Sergeant himself is not altogether blameless, and some serious charges that have been brought against him are being investigated by Captain Barnett. All the tribes near Penungah have made their submission and the district is perfectly quiet. In future a European Officer will be posted there permanently.

As far as we have been able to find out it appears that the Pemplos is chartered by a Java agency to run between Hongkong and Java. Just previous to leaving Hongkong on the present trip, a Chinaman went on board and banded into the care of the Chief Officer a case marked "Edling, Batavia," which the Chinaman said was to be kept in a cool place where it would not be damaged, as. It contained very valuable silk The box was duly entered on the manifest as 's box of silk consigned to Batavia, and the officer placed it in one of the spare cabins under lock and key.

Two days before the end of June last, of Inchi Mahomed, for many years Consular Agent at Brunei, Inchi Mahomed the Famptos arrived at Singapore, agents received a telegram from In Batavia asking that certain box, con- up of Sir Spenser St. John, and was well known signed to Batavia, on board the Pemplos to Sir Hugh Low and the late Sir James Brooke, should be landed at Singapore, as the consignee K.C.B. He was an extremely obliging man and had left to come here. The contents of this courteous in business matters. telegram were made known to the Captain on the ship's arrival, and it was then found that the box therein referred to was the identical box that was in the cabin, and consigned to "Edling. Batavia." The Captain's suspicions were aroused, and he communicated his suspicions to the steamer's agents (Messrs. Boustead & Co.) who in turn informed the Oplum Farmer. The box was opened, and found to contain prepared oplum or chandos, done up in elongated bladders, similar to German sausages, valued altogether at about $1,coo. The Farmer did not intend to make a charge against the captain, but, with the had been confiscated, the agents, we are informed, expressed a desire to have a charge made against the captain. Accordingly about o'clock yesterday afternoon, Captain Ulrich Johnnien was brought before Mr. Hare, and charged first, with Importing into the Settle ment a quantity of chandoo, under Sec. 7 of Ord. 4 of 1870j and secondly, with having the said chaudes in his custody, not having purchased the same from the Opium Farmer during the current year, under Bec, 13 of Ord. 4 of 1870. The captain made a statement, which was similar in effect to the account given above, and
A few of the companies formed in Hongkong now feel the result of the over confidence and speculation which were notorious when they started, but the promising crops now in the fields with the fine planters' weather prevailing, is bringing about a feeling of security which hitherto did not exist.

This, however, has how all changed; the Commodore is back, exchange is better than it has been for years and the prices of tails have gone down considerably so that delay in starting of this pioneer line would now be inexcusable.
