The

Department and the Law Courts. Colony has out-grown what was thought, and probably was, sufficient, years ago. The loss of time and prejudicial effect on public business owing to the offices of the Attorney General and Crown Solicitor, the Land Office and the Treasury, being removed so far from the Chief Secretary and the Surveyor General, are very serious. I propose to provide accommodation for these offices, and for the Law Courts, in bulldings to be erected in the vicinity of the present offices. It is hoped that the military authorities will give up the disused Murray Battery for the purpose. This site is sufficiently central for all purposes, and commanding as it does the Queen's Road and the Harbour, is, in my opinion, unrivalled as regards its capability for architectural effect. The new buildings erected on such a site should be worthy of the Colony. In the hope that something may be decided, I have inserted the sum of $150,000 in the Estimates, but this must be regarded only as a very rough approximation.

The sum of $12,000 has been inserted to provide for the improvement of Queen's Road, West, now under the consideration of the Government.

If these works, now proposed, are carried out and allowance be made for others for which the necessity will probably arise from time to time, it would appear that it will be necessary, within the next few years, to expend on public, works a sum little short of two millions of dollars. If to this be added the expenditure.' proposed by Mr. Chadwick on sewerage and water-supply ($750,000) we arrive at a total of $2,750,000. If this be divided over five years the average annual expenditure would amount to $550,000, or allowing for contingencies, say $600,000. It is, of course, probable that Government may not carry out in their entirety the whole of the works now proposed. The question arises how is this Large expenditure to be met, I observe in the Estimates of past years it is stated that the outlay on Extraordinary Public Works" is to be defrayed from balances, and premiums on land sales. It is, I think, my duty to call special attention to this matter. When the question of meeting the cont of the proposed works is under consideration It is safer to over-estimate, rather than under-estimate, the probable expenditure. I venture to recommend to the consideration of His Excellency the Officer Administering the Gor- ernment what I can but regard as the inex- pediency of depending, to a large extent at least, on the sale of Crown lands in order to meet the heavy outlay to which Government is more or less committed. If land be forced upon the market, or sold during a season of financial depression, it is certain it will not realize any. thing like its real value. The Colony would probably gain greatly the long run, by raising money on loan to cover any surplus required for extraordinary expenditure that cannot be paid from balances in hand, or ordinary revenue, This would enable the Government to choose

THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1890.

I have never seen any drunken brawls or fighting thera (so common in places where there is a pubile bar for the sale of intoxicants) take place during my periodical residence in the Grand. I havd always found the employés most obliging and, without stretching it, down- right honest.

1. have also noticed that the bar is exempt from those questionable characters known to the seafaring community as "chuckers-out," and have seen a very good sprinkling of ships' officers there. Those facts, I think, speak, in themselves, sufficiently for the character of the house as a rendezvous for' the seafaring com- munity.

I know the Justices are usually careful in their selection and am therefore astonished at their decision. With that fact fresh in my memory, and your paragraph regarding the refusal of the license in front of me, I feel it would be an over- eight were I to remain silent at the present moment when after holding the licence for 5 years it is now suddenly taken from the land lords, and no cause assigned for it..

LECLOCO'S "MANOLA,"

The Russian troopship St. Petersburgh, which arrived here on Friday last from. Wladivostock, had on board the second officer and five men belonging to the crew of the American, barque C. W. Morgan, of San Francisco, who, while whaling in the Sea of Okhotik, lost their ship, and, after many hours of hardship, reached the Island of Saghailes, from which place they were ultimately taken by the transport St. Petersburgh to Wladivostock, whence they came to Hong. kong, The second mate, Mr. H. A. Martli, gave the following account of their experiences to our representative-On September 1st, about Ip.m., when the barque was about 75 or Bo miles off the Island of Saghallen, in the Okhotsk Sen, a very large whale was sighted Two boats were lowered, and about 3 o'clock Martin's boat. harpooned him, but owing to their gun not working properly, they were unable to kill him. The whale at once set off at a terrific speed, taking them to windward of the ship and of the other boat, of which they soon lost sight. They held fast to the whale until it became dark, "when they let go, and found that their boat had been badly damaged by being forced along at such a rapid pace against a very high sea, and It became almost impossible to keep her from filling. All night they called about, Looking for the ship, but, were unable to find her. The next day a thick fog set in, and as their stock of provisions was confined to ten pounds of bread, soaked with seawater, and about two gallons of fresh water, they lost no more time looking for their ship but made for the land, which they reached on the 4th of September hungry and · exhausted, the last of their bread having been eaten When an affluent citizen trends on the dignity the previous day, and but two "tota" of of the Law-which he frequently does-and is water Being left for each man.
