for a moment believe that the Secretary of State for the Colonies will accept Governor Hennessy's views on this matter, and we hope before long to see not only a New Lunatic Asylum but also a building for the New Civil Hon- pital and New Small-pax Hospital in Corrse of construction. It would be well if the authorities would consider the advisability of grouping these enta- blishments together. If this were done, mucl saving would be effected in the eduction of the Staff One Staff could then work the whole of these establjak- ments, whereas at present each building require a separate and complete Staff. If grouped together, one set of ward- unsters, cooks, watchmen, etc., would suffice, and a proper Medical Staff, under the direction and superintendence of the Colonial Surgeon, could work the Me dical Department of the Colony, in a mure satisfactory and efficient manner than is possible at present, as everything would then be under his immediate and constant supervision, and thus the best PASSENGERS arriving in Hongkong, or any interests of the Service and the Colony We commend other persons who may desire to con- would be promoted. sult the files of local, China, Japan, some such scheme to the attention of
