Bis Excellency placed the enquirer in a somewhat awkward position by declaring that they would take precedence as at a formal dinner." Now it is very pos sible that at one "formal dinner-say
His Excellency's, the member from Messis Jardine Matheson & Co. would take precedeuce as the representative of the richest frun in the colony; thus at an- other-the General's for instance-Mr Byrie would be similarly favoured as Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce; while at a third-my the Admiral's-the Honorable member, from Messis Gibb, Livingston & Co. would be fairly selected as the beau ident of the hospitable, social, and kindly China merchant, and thus (possessing other qualifications) entitled to the precedence at the social board. It was really very unthinking of His Ex- cellency to say "e" formal dinner instead of my formal dinners,
THE DISARMAMENT OF JUxкs next engaged the attention of the Council, and Mr Keswick gallantly protested against handing over the duty of legislation from
Gauze, Merino ant Silk UNDERVESTS. the Legislative to the Excentive Council. His ejections were admirable in princi ple, but lack any sound basis from the fact that the Legislative Council is, so für as real legislation is concerned, a simpfu face. It would be difficuls to deprive it of functions it never possessut. "White introducing the Ordinance His Excel leuoy stated that Alacao had followed the example of Hongkong and Canton in disarming fishing boats-a course einge- larly favourable to the views of the ill- conditioned craft which prowl in that neighbourhood for the laudable end of encouraging emigration" on the part of Babarmen. However, His Excellency thought it "gratifying" that Macao var going to be a useful ally, so we record the opinion without discussing its va- lidity.
