Our Shanghai morning contemporary reports that Mr. Lay, Commissioner of Customs at Hankow, who met with a very serious accident recently, is gradually recovering from the effects of his recent accident. A good sign has been that fever has not supervened.

It is nothing of the kind in Hongkong where the term of "lady' still denotes gentility, At-the same time "woman"is "grand, supreme, and all-embracing," but expensive at the price.

It be of any consolation to those hysterical creatures who are so concerned about the reprieve of Tsang Li to learn that there is no such thing capital punishment at all in Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Holland, Portugal, Roumants, and most of the Swiss cantons?

The Chairman sald-Gentlemen, owing to the short notice I had of this meeting, I must claim your indulgence for the few remarks I have to offer you The address can hardly be called an Shaugural one as its scope it rather limited. My time being so much taken up with other matters, I was unable to give the attention to the pre- paration of an address that I should have liked to. Jodging from the large number of members which I see before me I think we may Justly congratulate ourselves on having launched the In stitution of Engineers and Shipbuilders of Hong- kong under favourable auspices. I believe that a short time ago an effort was made to form ▲ similar institution, but from want of adequais support. It existed but a very short time, therefore all the more credit is due to your committee who have again laboured so well and a zealously in the promotion of this in- anitation, whose objects I fear shall be to in prove the scientific knowledge of the mambers to provide a library, reading and recreation rooms, and other desirable or necessary pre- mises for furthering engineering science, encour aging social intercourse, obtaining mental relaxation and other similar objects. I trust that under the fostering care and good manage- mant of your committee that all the advantages and bent fils just enumcrated will be liberally provided, and that the members will show their appreciation of the benefits to be derived from this Ins'ilution by giving it, their cordial and warmest support. While the wooden walls of England were still our country's pride, and trusted is for defence, the shipbuilders and engi neers held but a secondary position in the field of science, but as the introduction of iron gradu- ally superseded the ribs of oak, the engineers and shipbuilders have not only held their own, but shot steadily ahead of all rival competitors, till at the present there is more capital invested and larger number of men employed in the ship. building and engineering industry than in any other branch of trade in either Europe or America, and now that the age of iron is giving place to steel, it may not be presumptuous to assume that the persistency and scientific skill which have placed the engineers and shipbuilders in the front rank in the past, are destined to achieve still better results in the fature as
