close that establishment. We are un- aware of the asttal prime cost of the machinery, but the sum obtained would seem to be a tolerably fair valuation, while the Japanese will doubtless con- gratulate themselves on having obtained it in a somewhat cheaper market than many of their purchases during the last three years. But the silence maintained on the subject by the Colonial Government has sonicwhat astonished the public, to whom the various steps in the negocia tions have been perfectly well known from the beginning, and afford another illustration of the absurdity of attempting to preserve a mystery on public subjects. In India and the Straits despatches on a matter of so much general interest would have been placed at the disposal of the lonal journals, but the rule in Hongkong seems to be “Above all, mystery." Wo do not deplore this babit of concealment from interested motives, as we should be parfectly contented, did the Government · Gazelle occasionally enliven its not very exciting pages, by the publication of those documents of which the tenor forms the staple of many an after-dinner d'scussion while their existence is oth- daily ignored.
