STREET NOISES.

How Beaconsfield Arcade, opposite the Theatre Royal, got its name?

in October, 1878, the Hon. Mr. E. R. Belilios, a member of the Legislative Council, placed in the hands of the Government, a sum of £3,000 for the erection of a statue to Lord Beaconsfield. The lat- er, however, deprecated the honour, and the money was eventually used for the estab Jishment of the Medical So- ciety. Fund, which was sub- sequently changed into the Belilios Scholarship Fund..

Mr. Belilios, however, was determined that Lord Beacons- field's name should be com- memorated in Hongkong, and he therefore named the row of houses, opposite the City Hall (which were his pro- perly) Beaconsfield Arcade,
