Since we last met, gentlemen, the services of one who had been a member of this Council for some years past have not only been lost to us but to this colony generally. There is no one who took a deeper interest in his work as a member of the Legislature who without speak- ing for display or for any factious object was nevertheless prepared to take such action and to ask for such information as he considered the public interest demanded-than Mr. MacEwen, His absence from this Board will necessarily be felt, but I am sure that the one who has been

In conclusion, gentlemen, let me ask of you to join your efforts in working for the future wel. fare of a colony which, by reason of increased
working capital sufficient to keep the present cultivation going on, and would undertake extensions of the present work as seemed desir able, paying off all the mortgages and debts of the old Companies, and in exchange for the estater giving fully paid-up deferred tcrip in the new Company in proportion to the sum agreed on. The directors bad only heard front Mr. Stokes by telegrams, which were naturally brief, but they had learnt that the capital of the proposed Company was to be £100 000, hall of which would be working capital, and the other hall for Of the latter the purchase of the estates. amount only so much would be paid as was
required to liquidate the old concerns and float the new one, which was estimated at the high figure of £25,000. The remainder would be paid in fully paid-up deferred £5 shares, the proportion for the three Companies bere being fixed on this side. They would have their present liabilities discharged out of the £75,000. The directors, he might say, favored the scheme, and desired that two shareholders might be appointed to ach them in arranging terms with the other Companies, after the latter had held their special meetings.
Mr. Francis asked what the indebtedness of the other Companies was ?

· LATE TELEGRAMS.
LISBON, September 15th. An unseemly disturbance took place at the opening of the Portuguese Cortes on the reading of the Anglo-Portuguese Treaty. The members' of the Opposition booted the Foreign Minister and assaulted Major Serpa Pinto: The sitting was then suspended, and afterwards resumed, when order was restored. The Foreign Minister then submitted certain amendments in order to appease the popular hostility to the treaty. These amendments are the result of a conference held at Dieppe on the subject between Lord Salisbury and the Portuguese Foreign Minister.
"Of course he immediately administered the necessary dose of flattery.
Oh, Mr. Forsyth,' said the charmer, you shouldn't-you really shoultat?!
"And then they went to basiness."

The opening match of the season, First Eleven . All Comers, was commenced on the Cricket Ground on Friday afternoon and terminated late on Saturday in a victory for the eleven by wickets and 17 runs. Considering the time of year the weather was surprisingly fine, and the ground has rarely been in better order. Recent dry weather enabled a first-class pitch to be prepared, and although at the finish it was some. what worn and bumpy, there was certainly very little room for fault finding. A considerable amount of general interest was manifested in this match, as the number of debutants was far in excess of any previous year, and rumour had been busy with the merits of several strangers who had won fame in the tented field in other lands. Any sanguine anticipations, however, as to this test match providing additional strength to a representative Hongkong team, were scarcely realised by results; in fact, with the exception of Captain Carden, R.A, who batted in excellent style ; Frank Lammert, who will play good cricket afteren few weeks' practices W. Newton, a free bat and active field; and G. Woodcock, who was unlucky enough to lose his wicket each innings before getting fairly settled down, the newcomers signally failed to disilaguish themselves.
