What guarantee have the general public that proper measures would be adopted to bring this matter with all necessary force before the officials in Canton, if the community is not to be made acquainted with the nature of these measures. Mr. WHITEHEAD was quite justified in tabling these motions, and in so doing has the approval of the entire community.

The supply of the light, both for public and private lighting, your Directors consider, has been satisfactorily carried out.

The demand for the light has been quite up to expectation so far, and the Board confidently look for further extensions both among foreign and native consumers, as the advantages of the light, especially during the hot season, make themselves more apparent,

ENGINEER'S REPORT,

Hongkong, 13th June. Gentlemen,At the date of my last report, 10th May, 1890, none of your machinery had been erected, and it was not until the month of June 18go, that the work of erecting the engines and bollers was commenced. The situations of the are lamps in the streets were finally settled in July, and the work of erecting the poles and wires was then proceeded with.

view that would probably be adopted by the 12,337.45 shareholders had they met here in larger 2.954-39 numbers; and it is owing to this that we have 41 46.75|| decided upon constructing the two vessels wo mentioned in our report. They will form an 1.077.57 Important addition to the fleet, and they will be specially engaged in the Northern trade, for which they are particularly adapted. We have also taken up as a running steamer the Chalvdra, and she will be for the time being employed in the Calcutta, trade, where there is demand for her services. The accounts that have been circulated with the report speak for themselves, slon on my part. It is owing to the satisfactory and do not, I think, require very much explana position of our underwriting account, which has not, had to sustain any total loss during the past year, and owing further to concessions made by the general agents, that we have been able to present as satisfactory a statement as we $6,870.79 || have done and to declare the dividend which we recommend for the adoption of the shareholders, and which, I may mention, it is proposed to pay on June 1. We have been parily helped, too, by the advance that has taken place in exchange but this is a precarious resource, which may probably operate in just the opposite direction next year. The outstanding balances which existed on the 31st December, 1890, and which were against the company at Hongkong, while la its favour at Shanghal and the northem poris, are certainly larger than usual; but all the amounts that were entered as das for freights and for balances of accounts current to be paid have since then, been collected, and nothing unusual is outstanding at the present time. Unless the second half of this year goes very badly indeed-certately very much worse than we have any reason to expect-the Item in our accounts "earnings of steamers " 'ought to show a very 'different total from what it is in the accounts submitted to you, and I hope that when they are next presented. to you, it will be in my power to con gratulate you on a returning tide of prosperity.
