Hongkong, Nov. 13th, 1878. SIE,-With reference to the concert to be given on Monday next by some of the mem- bers of the Choral Society for the benefit of Miss Eloia May, I would suggest that Mr H. Vernon should come in for a share of publio tavor as he is most undoubtedly the life and soul of the company, and it is in great measure owing to his exertions that here of late. His talents are also worthy of some notice. I admire gallantry, and the roughly acquiesos in the intentions of the gentlemon of the Choral Society, but all will acknowledge that it is to the exertions of Mr Vernon that we mainly owe the many pleasant evenings we have lately spent in Hongkong,
