sderably later than previous advices. For the
Marine intelligence we refer to that department
of our paper. We learn from the Canton Press
that the Imperial Commissioner, Keing, was to
have met the English Commissioner at Hong
Kong on the 10th of June for the exchanging Of
the ratification of the Treaty, but that he failed
to meet at the time appointed; and it was rn
mored that Keing was about to insist upon meet
ing Her Majesty's Plenipotentiary some where
midway between Hong Kong and Canton. He
was at Canton on the 4th. In Hong Kong every
thing was prepared for the reception of the I'm
perial Commissioner. a spacious hall had been
erected for the exchange Of the important docu-
ments and preparations for a splendid entertain
ment were in progress.
On the llth of June the Roman Catholic
Church Of Hong Kong was opened for public
worship, and the ceremony of consecratlng the
Church was performed by the Project Apostolic
Of the Roman Catholic Mission; and donations
were received to the amount of S6,0l2 from
English, Portuguese and Spanish gentlemen.
The export of Tea from China to England
in the month of May, l843, was OF Green,
1891, ,l3l lbs. and of Black, 4,96l,956 lbs
