(From Our Cwn Correspondent,) Opium Sales.

CALCUTTA, 4th August, 1903. The usual auction sale of op'um took place to-day, when Patna realized Bs. 1.306 and Benures Rs. 1,400 per chest, showing a rise of Rs. 65 and Rs. 110, respectively, upon the last sale. The usual quan tity of 2,000 chests of each quality was sold.

The Royal Visit to Ireland.

LONDON, 2nd August.

Their Majesties the King and Queen met with a most enthusiastic reception at Cork, the Lord Mayor and Corporation participat- ing. The King presented colours to two Irish regiments, and addressed them in full- citous terms, the ceremony heing witnessed by a tremendous chcering crowd. Replying

to an address wherein referencts were made to the Irish Land Bill, His Majesty said that he hoped for an equitable settlement of this long standing controversy, and that it would contribute -powerfully to the contentment and prosperity of his Irish people. But good laws alone would not suffice; there must be a better industrial training of the young, and a spirit of co-operation among all classes. Their Majesties afterwards embarked on the royal yacht and sailed for Cowes.

It is admitted everywhere in Ireland that the King's sympathy and interest has. pro- duced a change of feeling which no legisla- tion could possibly have offerted.

THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, TUESDAY,

His Excellency was quo ing the Paxims For Jan i brought me out of the maze by starting ' himself he remarked: "It will alwà s realhind scussion on the defences. (For my views see

maryel to me how from a scorching rock has been evolved the Elysian graces of Hángkong." | Hongkong resembles Scotland, in that it stands where it did; but it differs in this wise, Once upon a time Hongkong was a rock...--18 is o rock still, albeit a leautiful 1ock, a rock made beautiful by Taipan design together with the head of Provident and Chuisse labour. It was a ventable Alana, a refuge for all the rogues and ruffians of the mainland.

For those rogues and ruffians I feel. The man who is accused of a crime 18 as often as not the man who he beca offended against; not the offender. Wherefore it is quite within the limits of possibilty,that the Chinamen who carried their slatey blues and pig-tails to Hong kong were the must pure-minded, the most virtuous, energetic, suber, righteous, and godly of all Cainamea, the must vigorous both in body and mind, and Hongkong has benefited thereby,

Hongkong, as doubtless you are unaware, is called the "Island of Frageant Streams" for the simple reason that it has no streams except such as low from your umbrella or the house tops when it rains, and because they are never by any chance fragrant. No more lucid reason was ever offered for the choice of a town-lane. Just in the same way I suppose are the Sanitary Inspectors of the Rumtifoo ale niciuality called Inspectors, because they never inspect anything but their "para"

when they get their "Pugga, and why they always choose either perruquiers of pastry-cooks to fill vacancies. Consequently they never get across with their employers in- dividually or collectively over trifling matters, in which less highly trained misions might take an unwholesome delight.

"The hurtses, large and handsome, rise tier upon tier, from the Praya au the water's edge on the various scarps that have him cut on the face of the ruck only terminating with the Peak itself. (That's good.) Seen from the anchor age by day it has a striking (striking a.ain) effect, but at night (when the rake Hesperus has don red his breaches) the numerous lights from the straight lines of streets and rods on "O Cuckoo ! shall I call thee Bird, or but a

Brings back memories of summer, as a light wind fans your cheek and you watch the junks alabourin', elephints apilin' teak; dancing, dancing, ever dancing, lip and lope the little waves, in this zone you too make nerry, Britons never shall he slaves: Gone is bow the lang 'rous stilla.ss claminy, enervating heat; bills give earnest of a coolness, life is liveable and sweet; you are moved to envy people blatterating in the street. Green-clad mountains, islands, foun tains, white surf breaking on the shore-

Smithson, interjacu'ating: "Chuck it, stop it; bast; no more!"

If you happen to be revisiting Hongkong after a prolonged absence, you stare, though to stare is vulgar, as the vessel's skirts sweep the long steep slopes that leap upward to the Peak, to see how the place has grown, and you will mourn the loss of the greensward where you played the matutinal game of marbles with Yung Lu. In your absence someone has planted houses there, and cries of Knuckle down" are heard no more. It is customary in China to build houses upside down, beginning with the roof first and filling in the foundations when the roof-tree has taken root. But this onward march of civilisa ion in Hongkong has taught them that if they plant a hut it will soon become a cottage; from a cottage a house will spring, which becomes a bungalow by the summer and a palace in a year. It is the same when you traverse the nanow has beur between Green Island and Victoria, the hand of the builder is visible placing bricks above high water-mark; his feet are down below.

>ccus to ine the passage should have been quoted rather in proof of the assertion that the acredital stranger find no reason to complain of Taipan hospitality than as a piece of pretty landscape painting.

These little runs ashore; these little runs ashore? They break the monotony of long days at sea-or would do if we had been long days. But they have awful effects on some people.

"What have you got there?"-I asked Smithson suddenly.

*Whishky shoda" was the decidedly in coherent reply; to which he added: "Been to the club with its prompt and spontaneous hospitality," Saw "Wotshiname" who used to be Secretary-Honery Shecletary," he cor- rects me, of the Tin Club in Bombay. The other Flars went with him to have tea on the Peak and talk about house-rents.

Poor Smithson struck some Naval men with whom he used to lose golf-balls and break clubs in the wilds of Pali where they have all eged Govflinks.

**Look here," said Smithson as plainly as he was able, "why do you always say struck,' when you mean something else?'

Do 12

**Yes, you know you do. Just now you said we bad struck Hongkong on a phenomenally cool day. We didn't. If we had, there would be a Marine Court of Inquiry, no matter what sort of a day it was. You said, last letter, the most impressive sight we struck was a man-o war. We didn't. If we had, we should have been rus down. And now you say I struck hose Naval fellows. I emphatically deny that 1 struck anybody or anything. You are always striking, and are either guilty of some singul. ally unprovoked assaults, which are punishable under the provisions of the Indian Penal Code, or you are disposed in the use of slang which i abominate. It is pardonable enough in an as imut after fame, such for instance, as Kipt- ing, but utterly past hope of forgiveness in a Pruse-l'ost of your pretensions."-a remark i need not say I treated with the contempt so gratuitous a piece of impertinence called for.

Maik ye. addition to her garrison and her ships on the China station she has soldier citizens some of whom received their military training in m bay. Moreover, they have a band which is superior to none. Not a band in the service can beat it at coori songs, and it can play a cake- walk as few others can. That done, it can play the same again as an encore, and if thạt doesn't constitute a sufficiently strong military defence for any maritime station you may tell me what does!

Then we talked of revenue and settlement. I cannot describe their system at all, as I was listening to the latest political story at the time' somebody was endeavouring to describe the difference between a zemiedarand a zamindar. But it seems to me the shortest way out of the difficulty --

The good old rule the simple plan: That he shall take, who has the power, And he shall keep--who can.”

The following great successes will be presented

You may smile in Hongkong or tear in Bombay. A man may smile, and smile and be a villain. The place is swarming with Chinamen.

What's to become of our daughters: What's to be done with Kowloon ? You strain at a cat and swallow enamel; you who believe in the equity of all men. Friends, Romans, Chinamen, lend me your cars.

P.S.-Must apologise for writing this letter. "That's what you're paid for," says Smithson; all unconscious of a recent finding.

Must, apologise for the date. The Other Fellows wrote from Singapore on May goth and managed somehow or other to turn back the wheels of Time so as to reach Hongkong by May 5th. That comes of wandering due north.

Everybody in Hongkong has a launch of his own; some people have as cord for Sunday use. Such an one is a friend of ours who put off to meet us and swiftly carried us ashore.

Sounds like merriment; but it can't be, for here talk in the twilight on the verandah in evitably drifts to politics!
