Sir, The attention In Commitee of the Read letter from Mr. Ho Amel handing in the occasion Calls for a general mecilag, the Chamber has been drawn to the Judgment, resignation of the Ou Tal Insurance Company, views of the members can be more readily recently given by the Total of Shanghel in the Zimited.

Case of the Bank of China Japan, and the Straits, pany was being voluntarily wound up.

The Chairman sald he understand the Com-attained by fius of a circular asking sack mem-

ber to record his individual opinion, and, if in Limited (la liquidation) verans costain. Chinese favour of investigation by the Chamber, whether shareholders. The effect of this sdgment (a willing to serve. In the event of the members copy of which, I understand, has been forward proving favourable to such a course, the Com-to your Excellency) If upheld, cannot fall to miline will then request the Government to be provsust disastions to foreign interests in good enough to renew their offer.

to the populd liability on shares subscribed for by them to British Linslied Joint Stock Compa. ples, and, as a consequence, seriously Impares the security of seek Companies' reserve liability. Moreover, should the Taolal's be allowed, foreign shareholders in joint stock undertakings would be placed at a most unfais'divadvantage vis-à-vis "ustiva shareholders. The logical outçame of such injustics would sine recoil on the Chinese in excláding them from the roster of all foreign companies where any liability is affeched, but that perhaps is not an argument to which the Chiners Government will pay much attention.

To this a reply was returned on the 18th Idem, stating that the Committee adhered to their decision, and did not see the necenity for calling a general meeting of members, but they world issue a circular asking.each member to record ble individasi oplaten, and if it should prova that the majority were in favour of an in- Festigallon by the Chamber they would then ask the Government to kindly renew their offer.

The Committee are of opinion that the cost of this Relage skould be paid for out of the geberat revenue of iba Colony. The work would be primally for the benent of Chloete boat. people, and should come out of the taxes to which the Chinese population largely contri. bule.

With regard to the influence the formation of Ibis Refuge might have on the property of the adjacent Marine Lotholders, the Committee have not made any special inquiries, but they ea no reason to aniicipate objection on the part of the lotholders, whose property would not, they think, be adversely affected by its erection.
