when Hongkong is in the throes of a currency crisis which seriously threatens to ruin half of the best firms in the colony, VICTORIA DISPENSARY. palpable "Jobs" such as in happier times might be passed over with a shrug of the shoulders must in view of the Colony's dangerous position be nipped in the bud.

In the year 1862 the tonnage of vessels of the Unked States sold to foreigners was 117.756. | In the year 1863 the amount of tonnage so sold was 222,199 ; in 1864 it was 300,865 ; in 1865 it had fallen to 133.832 tons. In 1867 the amount sold was 9,088 tons. The amount sold Increased slowly each year after that until_1874, when it reached 77,054 tons. The yearly amount sold siaen 1874 has fluctuated, but on a decreasing scale, and in 1892 it amounted to 15,323 tons. The old type of vessels has been pretty well cleared away, and it is not probable that forel-ners will buy American bullt vessels again, until our shipbuilders are prepared to furnish ships of the new kind new demanded by the fierce competition in the carrying trade.

As a matter of fact, no Southern Scaator or member of Congress shares the views of the Port on the subject of monoctaillam, not even Secretary Carlisle, who has somewhat changed his ground of late years. The South is almost as kalid for silver as the States of Colorado and Nevada, and the Post knows 'it, but tries to conceal the fact.
