THE net prot of the Grand Hotel, Yokohama, for the half-year ended June 30th, after pro- viding for general expenses, directors' and auditors' fees, loterent, and depreciation, and after writing off bad and doubtful debts, amounted to $25,000. Of this sum $15,000 were set aside to pay a dividend of six per cent. for the year, $5.00 for reduction of the Com- 100 pany's debt, and $5,000 to be carried forward to

THE steamer Teresa, which arrived in Penang from Singape the other day, brought in two Foklep Chinese who had been picked up on the trip. The two unfortunates were seen clinging to a boat which had "turned turtle," and it seems that they had been in that position for 71 hours. According to the story, they were fishermen belonging to a place called Tanah Patob, somewhere in Sumaira. They were cat fishing when they were caught in a squall and their boat Capilied. They hong on to the boat, and after having drified for three days and three nights and suffering the greatest prirations, they were sighted and picked up by
the Teresa. The men being Datch subjects were handed over to the Netherlands consul.

The sakcha swors that he would dig up the pall, and, at latest, the chief was sitting in front of his relative's sepulchre, wrapped in a blanket, and with a loaded shot-gan between his knees, while a wild-
eyed undertaker, with a spade up the back of bis coat, was waiting for his adversary to move off for a drink.

THE MACAO HARBOUR.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE "Hanakonɑ TelBORATII,"
SIR,I wish to call your attention to a mis- take in your yesterday's leader in re Macao and its harbour. In this, as in all paragraphs on the same subjects, you write of this steamer being "stuck" for hours together, &c., which is quite false and calculated to do me harm. Belog stopped or anchored well outside in deep water waiting for a rising tide does not mean being suck. As this slip's bottom is of steel and so would suffer by being in contact with the mud, I always avoid it as much as possible.
I quite agree with the rest of your article and feel glad to think you give it the attention it deserves.
Remaining, Si,
"Yours, etc.,
