been fine enough to admit of it, calls attention to the absence of anything in the shape of suitable racing boats in the harbour. Surely the energy witneised, points to the fact that Sandakan can muster a sufficient number of men to start a Boating Club and, as a commencement, get two boats down from Hongkong which would be more adapted to racing than those now in use, and which, if the time and distance of some of the late pulls in those tubs are correct-would enable North Boraco to establish a record for this quarter of the world.
Those who have followed the Hongkong reports of the Punjani Company for the Inst three years, said Mr. Becher, will know that the Jas mine in the company's concession is the chief scene of operations and expectations. Great difficulty has heen experienced in getting down to any depth in this mine, and more or less dis appointment has been caused at the small results obtained from the crushings made from the quartz abielued here, jo tens of quarts extracted from the slopes which have been opened up, to ta dets, to the ton. This is twice as much as resulted in a yield of 18 ozs. of gold, equivalent was obtained from the average in shallower workings, and exceeds, Mr. Becher says, the estimate of so dwts, which he gave the shareholders as the probable average return of the lode stuff. The formation pardy resem. bies that of the Raub mine, but the quartz is in huge masses intermingled with the auriferous black siste. If i were considered desirable to on with the extension, it might be hoped that they would meanwhile get a sufficient yield to be kept in funds from London, steps will be takin caver expenses.

Oporto this evening is a city of rejoicing. The storekeepers have thrown down the barricades from the windows and doors, and everybody is congratulating everybody else that the Insurgent outbreak was not so serious as was expected.
Insurgents to the number of 400 assembled at o'clock this morning, and with much cheering paraded the principal streets. They made an attempt to seize the Prefecture of Police and the central telegraph office, Thels plans, however, were frustrated by the municipal guard. The general in command summoned the local troops, when the few civilians supporting the rebels dispersed.

THE CHINESE INSURANCE COMPANY
LIMITED,
(In Liquidation.),
REPORT
For presentation to the Shareholders
at a General Meeting. to be held at the
HEAD OFFICES OF THE COMPANY, AT HONGKONG,
од
THURSDAY, 13th March, 1891, at 4 p.m.
The Liquidators have now to submit to the abareholders a statement of Accounts, showing the resuult of the winding-up of the Company up. to the 31st December, 1890, so far as ascertained, vit. Balance at Debit of Working Account of $150,732.36, being an Increase of $13,327.07 for the year 1800.
The accounts clearly show how this amount has arisen, and it will be noticed that the expecta tion of the Liquidators, that no considerable addition to the Debit of Working Account would take place, has, so far as concerns Losses, been realized, and that the greater part is due to the
cost of
of Liquidation, which remains unavoidably heavy. avah after the carrying out of the economien effected by the Liquidators, of which the shareholders were fully made acquainted at the last meeting, as will be seen by a com parison of accounts. The details of these, so far As Head Office is concerned, were set forth la the Chairman's speech at the last General Meeting, so we need only add, that of the Com. mittee at London, Mr. Von André and Mr. Kostigen resigned, leaving Mr. Cobb and Mr. Guttmann as sole Liquidators there.
The Liquidation of the London Branch is st far from being completed, and it is almost Impossible to foresee when such will be the care, owing to the continued cropping up of frank claims, the difficulties connected cartain Re Insurance Policies, and the great delay caused by a number of Law-sults now pending.
These are matters beyond the control of the Liquidators, who have, however, relaxed no | effort to expedite the settlement as much as
possible.
The festibility of shortening the duration of the Liquidation has been comitantly kefere the Liquidators, who have for some time beca occupied in making enquires on his point, and they are now negotiating with a view to out. standings being taken over by third parties, on terms which, in their opinion, are likely to prors in the long run more advantageous to the share- holders than the continuation of the present mode of winding up.
The Head Office accounts have been audited by Mr.Thos, Arzold and Mr. H. U. Jeffries and the London accoukts by Messa J. O. Chadwick and Son, as before.
