Lo foretell our downfall. He is conve
ulently situated for the purpose, classic Cornhill being the locality whence his enunciations find their way, per P. &'0. Steamer, to this Colony. Had steamers
been invented in the time of Jonah the Ninevhites would doubtless have regard- ed that grumbling and whaleswallowed propliet much in the same way as we regard tae prophet of Cornhill-who makes him- Balf known through the organ conveR. sionally known as the London and China Herald in the select circle it illuminates.
The writer is evidently a man-we beg pardon, prophet-of sanguine disposition and varies the usual lachrymone style of those who forstell very disagreeable events by stating that he waits "with calm anxiety (sic) for the realization" of his viewatho said views having (apparently) something very particular
of this Colony. How the " downfall" is to do with the approaching downfall"
to come about is not very clearly set forth, "a second collapse "being the nearest approach to a definition. This would be comprehensible if we knew where to look for the first collapse. The Indlures of large houses in 1866-7-8 can scarcely be the "collapse" in question, as they took place from enses quite apart Trom Colonial adioinistration. Dent and Co. did not stop because the Harbor Master paited numbers on the junke, or because the Stamp Act was introduced. Nor can the faintest connection be traced between the gambling licenses and the stoppage of many other eminent firms Yet as the entire article is devoted to a hearty abuse of Governor MacDonnel's policy in general, and his expenditure in a ticular, the evil results of which are to be cured by a "second collapse," there must evidently be some obfuscation in the writer's mind as to the connection between cause and effect. The fact is that he bae fallen into a very common blunder one into which those who have spent some time in the East and retura to spend the evening of their days st home often do fall. The Anglo-Indian will tell you what a place India wada-- "And now, Sir, what with these com founded new civiliau regulations and the new government and the Queen's army, et, etc., the place is spoilt." They for get the rapid march of events in the far Enat, and fauoy, that the tamporary home of their manhood could and should. remain unchanged in their old age... The writer of-the artiole under review bas made some very alarming discoveries about the bastuees of Hongkong and seems quite proad of the fest. He does not seem to know that we are quite aware of all that he states, that it bas been discussed over and over again by those on the spot beat qualified to know all about it, and that they are the least fortunes to misgovernment." vociferous in attriunting their altered Kong kong has shared the general loss, but har never even in her worst days seen such 23.80
