and several Chinese merchants interested in the shipping traffic between Hongkong and the City of Rams, assembled on board the new river steamer Tal-en, Capt. C. Gobloukir, which started on her official trial trip at two o'clock.
Leaving her anchor ge at Wanchai the Tai- en steamed through, the man-of-war bay Into the merchant shipping nachorage, and ran full speed on a course set forthe Cap-aul-munPass andChitle.

best "white seal."
The Tepe has not been entirely built in Hongkong. She was built up originally in Glasgow, to the order of Mr. H. Wicking on Chinese account, by Messrs. Alley & Maclellan of plates supplied. by the Steel Company of Scotland, was then taken to pieces, sent out to this colony and put together by Messrs. Kwong Hip Loong of Wanchai, who also made the engines. She is 180 feet long, 36 feet broad, with a depth of hold of feet. Her main deck is composed of atral rintes carried by steel beams and stanchions, the upper deck being of teak supported by steel beams,, while the awning deck is constructed of Oregon pine laid on steel beams. Unlike most ships, the Tal-on has a longitudinal bulkhead running the whole length of the ship, fore and aft, divided by six water-tight bulkheads -including two staunch collision bulkheads- which render her, for her trade, practically nzinkable, by collision or otherwire. She draws 6 feet of water when "flying light and no more than 8 feet fally laden with tons of cargo and 1,187 passengers, for which number license has been granted. The accommodation for both passengers and officers on board this exceedingly suitable river boat is incomparable with anything of the kind yet met with on the Canton river, in as much as it is at once luxurious and adequate in every way, shape and form. The Chinese unicon, which is fitted with lounges à la Chinoise, will accommodate fully to persons, while the Chinese de ke passengers are provided with comfortable saloons, wickerwork chairs and dining tables. Europeans, too, have a very neatly furnished"saloon set apart for them, and a cook who knows just how to dish up "follin man chow chow "is at their service.

The Thion's engines are of the compound sur. face condensing type, which, working up to fo horse-power nominal, drive twin screws which propel her through the water at the rate of fully nine knots per hour. But it is hardly likely that the Tal-on will be driven at top speed for the reason that she is to be what is locally known an a"night best," and as such there would be no advantage in getting up to Cantea before 6 am The Talon is commanded by Captain C. Cobloskle, while the engines are in charge of Mr. Alexander Parker, late chief engineer of the Pasig. In charge of such old experienced " hands " and with powerful Chinese influence at her back, there can be but 'Itle doubt that the Tafon has a brillant career of usefulness before her Courts of Survey and such like minor affairs notwithstanding. It may be mentioned that Mr. John Macdonald acperintended the construction of the Tal-on in the Interest of the owners, and that she can, if her owners desire it, be classed as high as any river steamers on Lloyd's Register.
Incidentally it may be mentioned that the Tation (which, by the way, means peace" in fiteral and "good fortune" G

With the river service augmented, as it now is, with the China Merchants' commodious steamer Klang wan and the new company's steamer Tai-en, and all doubts of the Parig's seagoing qualities baving been effectually set aside, the commercial communities of Canton and Hongkong should have but little cause for complaints which, at one time, were conspicuous by reason of their constant recurrence
