The Sugar Convention. In a debate on the Sugar Convention,
Mr. Gerald Balfour said there was every reason to believe that Austria and France would bring their systems into accord with the provisions of the Convention, and that the only countries on which it might be necessary to apply the penal clause, were Russia, the Argentine Republic, Chili and L'eru. He thought the Convention would result in a period of moderate and stable prices which would enable the West Indian planter to earn a living wage.

I enclose the report of a deputation that waited upon me island and Victoria, and enter the beautilu! on the subject by which you will see that I entirely agreed with the views of the deputation and undertook to commend the prayer of the petition to the favourable consideration of His Majesty's Government.
7. As will be observed from the terms of the petition, in the event of the decision of the
Lords of the Admiralty to meet the wishes of this Celnay a site can be offered on the island of tongkong equally defensible, with ample
room for expansion, and at which a Dock begun new woubiprobably be finished at smaller expense and in less time than it will take to complete the Admiralty. Dock now in process of construction, while the cost of the transfer will be borne by the Colony.
3 Apart from the arguments for the change put forward by the petitioners, 1 venture to submit that the whole question of a Naval Dock at Hongkong is worthy of careful rec us dera- tion by My Lords of the Admiralty. The Hongkong & Whampoa Dock Company have at present five dry-ducks besides three slips. In one of these docks H.M.S. Powerful has been dincke d The Company is prepared, if the Naval authorities desire it, to construct another dock 'capable of accommodating the largest ves. sel afloat, they are prepared to supply the Dock with the latest improvements in machinery and to lay down a plant capable of dealing with any repairs that could be required for H. M. Ships and to give to the Naval authorities per petual right of priority. Messrs. Butterfield & Sw're am also at ; resent constructing a dock of the largest size. I venture to say that with such docking facilities existing and prospective the repairs of His Majesty's Ships would be executed in an entirely satisfactory manner and at a very substantial saving to the limperial Government. The Dock Company have
thoroughly efficient staff with the best ap pliances and there is constant work, while a
Naval Dockyard inest have an expensive establishment always at full strength white it is improbable that the work required for the Fleet on the China Station will keep the Dock fully occupied all the year round. The annual expenditure involved is vary considerable and
of the Admiralty the advisability of sending I would urge upon the Lords Commissi ners

possibility of its extinction will probably en gross science for many a long year to come. Meanwhile one of the few certain dicta is tha there is much virtue in disinfection.
At a meeting of the Legislative Council this afternoon the Director of Public Works laid on table the following reports of proceedings of this Committee at meetings held on rith May, and 13th and 20th July:—
COMPUTITIVE DESIGN: FOR POST OFFICE TREASURY, &C.
The designs, 3 in number, were closely scrutinized and, after some discussion as to the best method of procedure, it was unanimously agreed that a comparative statement should first be drawn up, showing, in parallel columns, competition and the extent to which these were the requirements set forth in the conditions of
fulfilled by the several designs and that this statement should be forwarded to the heads of departments to be housed in the new building with a request that they would criticize the designs and state which they considered best in point of arrangement as regarded their various departments.

It is the same when you be it from me to attempt to describe an under taking I have not even seen; but they seem to have complications of their own that India knows nothing about. The minuteness of many of the holdings is one of the chief difficulties; in one area alone, two hundred and eighty thousand claims to microscopic patches of land are said to have been recorded. Then the Chinese have a cheerful habit of owning a piece of land in one place, and another len miles away, which adds to the muddle; and correspond to zemindars, with a difference, and there are certain heads of class who seein th

And as you turn towards the mainland, and mark the long rugged line of the heights behind Kow- loon, you remember that years ago the authori- ties used to discuss whether those high ridges night really be made a menace against the colony. Now they have been leased to Grea pissed into our possession. The cu iour thing Britain, and with them a great tract of land has
is that, unless one's recolle tion is gravely at fault, it was the military experts who used to clamour for an extension of the. Kowloon from tier, and to talk of forts upon hill-tops; but nothing seems to have been done to strengthen the defences of the colony in that direction Perhaps it is now considered unnecessary tn do so, yet the former chiefs of the garrison did not appear to think so.
The Massilin passes slowly along the liarbour towards the wharf at Kowloon, through dozens of sampans and junks and steam launches, The
smart launches of Hongkong ac famous all over the East. Even the hotels possess their own, a species of enterprise impossible in India owing to the customs regulations. Presently, when we are safely monred, and have watched for a space the junks passing to and fro, and the long lines of shipping that throng the waters of Hongkong, a friend comes off in a trim launch and swiftly conveys us ashore. The hospitable postals of the palatial Hongkong Club are always wide ajur for the pissing stranger, and in ten minutes we are made fee of its precincts. There is a certain spontaneity and promptitude about the hospitality of the Far East that never fa is to strike the stranger familiar with the formality and the comparative aloofness of India. The Hongkong Club is a splendid structure, and contains, among other attractions, a library with many thousands of volumes, and a read ing room with more newspapers and magazines than the present writer has ever before seen collected under one roof east of Suez.

The replies to the request of the Committee for criticism of the designs submitted, which liad been received from the various Heads of Departments concerned, were read. The designs were again closely examined, especially with regard to the Post Office arrangements,

Finally need it be said ?—we hear grumbles about the rise in rents, and vague forebodings of the days when the rich Chinese would oust the Europeans from the possession of the Peak. To anyone who knows certain cities of India, the forebodings are not vague at all; the hand- writing was writ large upon the wall five years azo. Then few people in Hongkong would listen to the wamings of a casual stranger within their gates; now, it is almost a relief to building which Members desired to have laid find that they are growing

They have crept up slowly from the borders of the harbour, until they have ac quired many of the houses in the fine terraces immediately above the business city. Soon few of these will remain to the Europeans, and then the Chinese will cast longing eyes at the fine villas on the cool heights of the Peak. They have plenty of money, and can outbid the Englishman, with his diminishing income, his costly trips to Europe, and too often his establishment in two countries at once. When the Chinese start to scale the Peak, they will go there with a rush; and thus it will come to pass that, serene in their lofty retreats, they sweltering of nights in the city that their fore- will look do upon the unforeseeing English
