Relieved of all connection with the party bickerings and unpleasantnesses which have so largely filled up the time. of the present Hend of the Administra tion, Dr Eitel might have effected quite a reformation in the system of official interpretation; while his services in | purting the local laws into Chinese for

Now that, by the peremptory instructions of the Colonial Office, the Chinese Secretary lins become extinct, the new Supervisor of Interpretation and Translator for the Supreme Court has been appointed, and the Translation work of the Colonial Secretary's Office has again devolved upon the Registrar General's Depart- ment, it will be instructive to examine the position.

Eeen gentlemen now carrying on the daties of the Registrar General's depart- mit make no pretensions to be Chinese scholars, and one of them, the second in command, is indoe: largely occupied as Private Secretary to His Excellency. So far as present appearances go, there-. fore, it would seem that the important duty of translation for the Government Offices must now he left to be conducted by native linguists, without even the supervision of a European scholar. Such a result, after all the persistent efforte of past Governments to improve the rolations existing between the governing disappointing. And yet it appears to and the governed classes, is sufficiently
be nothing more than the natural out- come of the irregular und perverse action of those now in authority, It may be said that the European translator on slep to do the like service for the of the Supreme Court miglit be called Colonial Secretary's Office until arrange ments are perfected in the Registrar.

This is a course which may possibly be open to the Government; but were Governor Ben- nessy to depart from these shores within. the next few weeks, the position of affairs in this connection could not be said to have been latt better than ho found it, Governor Hennessy occupied much time and spared no trouble in ismembering the Registrar General's The Manufactors is under direct and Department.
