the centre of the building render communication easy between the remotest parts of the hotel; while a broad staircase in the front, specially arranged so as to get the full benefit of the large windows facing Pedder's Street, gives access from floor to floor Berides which there are several smaller staircases about the back parts, so that it practically impossible for anybody to be cut off from the street in case of fire or other accident. Further, the latest and most effective pattern of fire hose on patent reels, which can be run out and got to work in a moment, will be on every flons.
is
The rooms in the different storeys are all out- alde rooms and arranged on the same general plan. In the centre of the building is a large, well shaped space, open to the sky, giving a brilliant light in all directions. On each side of this snaf is a broad corridor, sunring the whole length of the hotel, from the Praya to Queen's Road, on each side of the corridor being spacious and well-lit bedrooms. Airy verandatis, with tiled floors and bandsomely decorated arches and
parapets, extend round three sides of the building, over the Prays, Pedder's Street, and the old part of the hotel in Queen's Road, the servants'
queriers being on the fourth side, towards the City Hall. Each bedroom will have its verandah partitioned off to itself, while on the highest floor it is in tended to fir a telescope of power so great that every wrinkle on the face of a man fishing beyond Stonecutter's Island will be clearly visible. The Hotel Co's woll-known flag will wave in the breeze from a fing.staff 45 feet in length.
in the bedrooms the fittings and furniture will be uniform. Every room, with one single excep
has a fireplace, with an antique wood. panelled and tiled mantel-piece. In every celling And every floor a grating running. all round the edge, supplies free and universal ventilation, both in the rooms and under all the floor, so that dry rot and white ants will not bave a chance. None of the furniture has arrived as yet, so that a proper description cannot, now be given, but from what can be gathered it will be in no way inferior and probably even a good deal superior to that now in use in the old portion of the hotel, which has never been found fault with by visitors, The bath rooms, izvatoties, etc.. are arranged in the centre of each floor, and are most elegantly and efficiently fitted, hot and cold water at all times and every convenience and modern Improvement that ingenuity could devise having been provided on a lavish scale.
The dining room, on the first floor, over the Prays, is a magnificent saloon-the largest of Its kind la Asin, though the number of "pillars | and arches necessary to support the colossal structure above, tends to diminish the
e appearance
of size. It is divided into two sections, the smaller being set apart for ladies, and will pro- vide ample room at the tables for ago persons, so that the next Cricket Club dinner and iimilar public functions will not have to be held in the ansuitable City Hall. Besides this there are a number of smaller dining-rooms for private parties, a spacious saloon for meetings of public companies, etc., drawing-rooms, and a specialty will be a handsomely fitted up leading room, a want at present badly felt by residents in and viitors to the Hotel.
The bar and billiard rooms will be also an the north or Praya alde, under the dining room; st present these regions are entirely in the band of the contractors who are enjoying themselves in the midit of the wildest chaos that even Chinese mind could conceive. At least, that is Low it looks to an outsider. By and by no doubt "Let there be light,"
the word will be get there be drinks. A and also presumably word as to the proposed bar arrangements will greatly Interest the few in this colony who are add'cted to drink. It is intended to have two bart, one on the same system as at present, and the other twenty-cent business,
lo order to suit all requirements. There will be Elx billiard tables in the new saloon, which has been to arranged as to give ample space to the players at all the tables, and a handsome lava- fory, etc., will render this by far the most com- fortable billiard room this colony has yet known.

AN APOLOGY.
THE PROSECUTION OF THE
OPIUM FARMER. ||
BEG to express through your colomas my deep regret that I should in a hasty moment, in consequence of my not being able to read or understand Chinese accounts, have commenced a prosecution against Mr. KOH CHENG SEAN, the chief manager of the late Oplom Farm, with reference to the funds of the CHEANG TEK KONG SEE. A complete investigation into the matter, and a careful examination of the books and accounts have thoroughly convinced me that my suspicions. were wholly groundless, and that there has been nothing whatever in МГ. КОН СНENG SEAN'S management of the business of the OPIUM FARM that is in any way repre- hensible; and further, that he has mil along been doing ble best, honestly and faithfully, for tas benefit of the CHEANG TEK-KONG SEE.
I should be obliged if you would insert thfi letter la your correspondence column once, and afterwards as an advertisement for the period of one month, as I am anxious to undo as far as possible any injury I may have, through my hasty and unjustifiable action, inflicted upon Mr. KOK CHENG, SEAN,
