THE FRIEND OF CHINA AND HONG-KONG GAZETTE,
VICTORIA, TUESDAY, JANUARY, 30TH 1844,
We are glad to learn that Government has is sued instructions to A. F. Gordon Esqr. Land Of ficer, to take immediate steps to make such final ar- rangements as may enable the holders of ground in Canton to commence building. He proceeds to Canton shortly to settle the plan and superintend the removal of the ruins, preparitory to building. We are glad to find Government attending so promptly to the requirments of the Canton community, for they have suffered great inconvenience for want of houses since the fire. We have heard old residents complain that the plan is unsuited for this climate, but we are sure, a proper representation need only he made to His Excellency to have the plan altered and adapted to the climate and wants the residents. The best mode, perhaps, would be to call a general public meeting of the Land Holders, and agree to a plan and then, submit it to His Ex- cellency for approval. It will be a very serious and an fortunate circumstance, for the health of resident merchants, if a Plan not having reference to proper ventilation should he adopted.
We publish a long letter from Publicola "for we aro desirous that our columns should be open to public grievances, but we must disclaim against the violent tone taken by this writer, We would assure
