TRE BOUNDARIES OF HONGKONG...... The third subject to which I would Invite your attention is one of very great local Importar ce. I refer to the question of the extention boundaries of ints Colony. This matter is, I belleve engaging the attention of the Imperial Go- lag been specially drawn to it by representations from the civil, military and naval authorities here. When the island was first acquired it was only sought as a place where British ships could Caran and reftand British trade be conducted free from Interference. When, later, its unpres lected condition was noted and fortifications week constructed, provision was only made for agus carrying a far shorter distance than at present, and the political situation was wholly different. It is now necessary, we are antred by experts, la order to provide for the adequate protection of the port, to secure a conalderable extension at the territory on the other side of the bathour, setting back the boundary, in fact, to Mirs and Castle Peak Bays, and to acquire seveni af. the islands to the south. Not only is this exten- sion of the Colony recessary for strategic sea oss, but it is eminently desirable for others of a social, commercial, and Industrial nature. The Chinese city of Kowloon, an the other side of our watere, mierda u regular Alsatia for criminals, - and is a constant resort of gamblers from thir side. The fantan shops have several times been closed after remonstrances from the Hongkong Government, but they invariably re-open and render nugatory the efforts of the Hongkong Police to put down gambling. The existence of facilities en the other shore for elading justice is also an incentive to robbery and nii kindral crime, Then, we need room for expansion, both in the matter of recreation and for industrial purposes, as well an land for raising vegetables and cattle, The Chinese population, too, and more especially the merchant clean, would like to obtain cheap The CHAIRMAM said :—Your Excellency, "1. sites on which they could erect homes desire to express the pleasure with which the | and bring thair families to resida Committee of the Chamber of Commerce now under the British flag Instead of being, make your personal acquaintance. We are more than likely in the future to have occasion to address you from time to time on commercial matters, and the present interview which you have so kindly accorded to us, and for which I thank you will, I trust, establish a mutual understanding.

SIR CLAUDE MACDONALD AND THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.

THREE IMPORTANT QUESTION.

There are three main questions of the greatest, not indeed vital, imparianos is the fatura pra sperity of this Colony to which I desire briefly to direct you special attention and to solicit the aid of your great influence towards their attain ment. These are the opening of the West River to foreign trade and steamer, navigation's the removal of official obstruction to the working of trade with the interior under it pass and the extension of the boundsles of the Colony
