do not think it would be just to the consumer to

cannot rely IVon the probable introduction of new
companies in competition with the powerful organisa-
tion whose existene,e.has been confirmed by the Act
of 1860 ; and that if the consent of the companies
to a froper amendment of that act cannot be ob-
tained, the_ proper remedy will be for Parliament
to concede to the city of London, the Metropolitan
Board of Works, or othCi local authorities of the
respective districts, the power of supplying those
districts in the manner in which the Corporation of
Manchester supplies that city and the surrounding
neighbourhood.
" Your committee consider that the main cause
of the failure of legislation, which has thus taken
place in the present year, has been the absence of
any bills authorising.thef4Atablishment of an inde-
pendent supply of gas in the hands of the local
authorities. They recommend that unless teams
satisfactory for the consumer can be arranged with
the companies, the Board of Trade should abstain
from the introduction of any other measure like the
Metropolis Gas Bill, 1867. Unless the companies
are prepared during the recess to consent to.such an
arrangement, your committee think that every
facility should be afforded to the local authorities
of the metropolis in the session of 1868 for the in-
roduction of an independent supply."

The Madras Atholleant says that the Madras
Irrigation and Canal Company have resumed
operations in Kurnool. From the Bellary district,
where considerable distress" prevailed, the official
repohs were favourable ; and on the recommenda-
tion of the collector the famine works had been dis-
continued. Cultivation had recommenced with the
south-west monsoon, the ploughing of some of the
lands having occurred even in anticipation of that
event. Prices were falling, and had reached the

.. _
Level of prosperous years ; the only exception was

rice.
,‘ The new rice of the late (Vysack) crop (adds
the Madras Athenoeum) had not, however, yet
come into the market. The consumption of this
grain is limited to the higher classes, who can afford
to consume it, or who, as in the case of the
native army, have special compensation given during

its dearness. The bulk of the population consume
cholum and raggy, which were selling at 16 and 18
measures respectively per rupee. The cultivation
had exceeded that of the year 1865-66 up to April
last by acres 6,662. A manifest improvement is
also reported from the Ganjain district. On Lord
Napier's visit there in June, 1866, he proposed the
opening of the Chilka lake, both as a present means
of iclief to the distressed, as well as of completing
a work of great public utility projected many years
ago by Sir Arthur Cotton. The heavy rains pre-
vented the commencement of the excavations until
February last, the collection of materials having
been rapidly carried on in the meantime. In March
4,000 coolies were daily employed on the works,
and they were pushed on with the utmost vigour,
6,000 coolies having afterwards been engaged.
Notwithstanding the very difficult nature of the
excavation, mostly through water, and the preva-
lence of heavy storms of wind and rain throughout
the working season, the project laid out with great
exactness has been completed, and the canal is now
open for general traffic on ordinary tides, Mr. Car-
michael, the collector, having opened it in person on
the Ist inst. Boats being in readiness at Ganjam
for the occasion, about 9 o'clock a.m., Mr. Car-
michael arrived in company with the engineer and
other gentlemen, and proceeded in boats through
the canal to Bimper, ten miles from Ganjam, where
a small bank remained separating the water of
the Roosookoolen from the lake. After Mr.
Carmichael arrived this bank was cleared' away as
if by magic, and the waters of the Roosookoolen
were connected with the Chilka lake. The canal
being thus formally opened, the boats passed on
through the lake to Ramba, a further distance of
four miles, where they arrived by 12 o'clock, three
hours only being occupied in making the journey.
The canal was in many places spanned by triumphal
arches, and flags and banners floated proudly over
the embankments, while continual cheers greds

Reports on Ceylon, published during IS64:—' Galle
is considered in the " Almtract of Reports" to be the
healthiest of all tropical stations. Paragraph 193
states : " If the station were improved and proper
barracks provided the question of the sanitary state
of the troops in Ceylon might be settled in the most
satisfactory way, by removing the headquarters and
all the troops not required for detachment duty to
Galle." Dr. Dane differed somewhat from this
opinion in favour of Kandy, but this does not alter
the position that hitherto Galle has been pre-emi-
nently healthy as regards troops.'"

CHINA AND JAPAN.
On the 15th of June, the new dock at Aberdeen
(on the southern side of the Island of Hong Kong),
belonging to the Hong Kong, Canton, and Whampoa
Dock Company, was opened in the presence of the
Governor and a large party of invited guests. 12
dock is over 400 feet long, 90 feet broad, and 21i-
deep. It has been cut out of the solid granite of
which the island is formed, and is a very magnifi-
, cent work. It is lined with hewn granite, and pre-
sents a very imposing appearance. The Overland
China Mail looks upon the opening of this dock as
an event of considerable importance. It says :
The Hope Dock is undoubtedly the finest dock
in the East, and whatever credit is due to the
company and to all concerned with the origina-
tion and construction of such a masterpiece of
marine architecture is freely accorded to the pro-
moters
of the scheme so successfully inaugurated on
Saturday last. To convey a better idea of the
advantages consequent upon the completion
such au undertaking, we may give some of the
dimensions and peculiar features of the new
dock. It is 410 feet in length over all, and 385
feet on the blocks ; it has a breadth from coping
stone to,coping stone of 100 feet, and 50 feet at
the bottom ; its width at the entrance is 81 feet;
and its depth of water is 24 feet 6 inches at
spring, and 22 feet at neap tides. It will, thus
be seen that it will be able to take in the largest
merchant vessel or mail steamer which enters
Hong Kong harbour, even at low water. The
dock is, of course, constructed with the intention of
accommodating either the ironclad Warrior or
black Prince (for draught of water), or for the
Pacific Mail Company's steamer the Great Re-
public (for breadth of beam) ; and we understand
that there is only one of the new ironclads—viz.,
the Aginourt, which draws some 2G feet—which is
too large to enter the Hope Dock without being
lightened previous to doing so. Under these cir-
cumstances it would not be surprising if her
Majesty's huge ironclads be sent out to the China
station, for the existence of this magnificent dock
now opened in Aberdeen . Bay, Hong Kong,
removes what would otherwise be an insuperable
objection to their presence-- namely, the impossi-
bility of dock repair in the event of accident.
Some political differences have arisen between the
Daimios and the new Shogoon, with respect to the
opening of Osaka, one of the new ports.
Thirteen clipper ships left Foochow for London,
with tea, on various dates between May 31 and
June 18. The Taewan, which sailed from Foochow
on the 20th June, got ashore on the North Bank,
in the river Alin, and is reported by Lloyd's agents
as a total wreck. She had 789,5001bz. of tea on

board.
The second crop of silk is reported at Canton to
be coming in very slowly from the country ; holders
in the interior are holding for very full prices. Rates
in a few settlements are nominally higher all round.
The silk market at Shanghai was opened early in
the month ; the chief purchases are said to have
been made by young and inexperienced houses, the
other firms having abstained from entering the

market.
The tea season has commenced at prices fully
equal to those of last year. Export from Foochow
alone about 14,000,0001b5.
Sir Rutherford Alcock is visiting the ports in
succession, to judge for himself by observation and
in communication with the merchants on the spot,
what had been the working of the treaty of Tien-
tsin, and wherein it was imperfect or defective,
or might with advantage be modified. He was last
at Swatow.
Strong representations have been made to Sir
R. Alcock by residents at the Yangtze ports in
favour of inland navigation by small steamers.
The Minister's reply was undecided, but somewhat
favourable.
The United States ships Hartford and Wyoming
visited the scene of the wreck of the Rover, south
coast of Formosa. A landing was resisted by the
natives, by whose fire Lieut.-Commander Mac-
kenzie was killed. Some concerted action between
the foreign powers is necessary for the protection
of commerce. The Chinese authority there is
purely mythical, and the Government will not
interfere unless backed by foreign aid.
L Several lights are to be erected forthwith at the
mouth of the Yongtze.

The Melbourne Argus declares that experience 01
the new tariff has not made the traders of Mel
bourne more enamoured of it than they were at the
beginning. " Both imports and exports," it says
" have been affected ; we have sent away more gold
without receiving a corresponding, increase of
goods ; our intercolonial trade has been seriousto
ly
injured, because buyers have been driven away
other and cheaper ports; the merchants and traders
of the city barely maintain their ground ; no new
manufactories or means of employment for labour
have been developed under the protectionist policy
of the present Government ; the b.ectetesrofel

we shall endeavour to ascertain the truthy, anthosd pelaceiu
it plainly before our readers, especiall

~ Strange to say, the partial dulness which exists
is the result of great prosperity. The import trade
is dull, because home production is abundant. There
are fewer ships in Ilobson's Bay, because our wants
do not require to be supplied from beyond seas.
Last year the import grain trade alone gave em-
ployment to 150,000 tons of shipping. In the pre-
sent year there is no such trade in existence. The
change is a highly beneficial one, but as changes
of every character operate unequally, it has not
been unattended with inconvenience. Through-
out the length and breadth of the land there
is more contentment, arising from the abundance
of the necessaries of life and steadiness of the
demand for labour, than at any time during
the last seven or eight years. The change that
is now going on is exactly that which was
aimed at by the political party now in office. The
temporary depression in commercial circles is a
proof that the policy has been a success. The colony
