baa been got through during the scs- sion. During the last four months tliore has been more legislativa activ y displayed in the Colony thon during HONGKONG DISPENSARY,ny other equal period of its history.
This is chiefly
the owing to fact that the meetings of the Council have been held weekly, instead of at irregular intervals as before. The in- stitution of committees by the Governor mas niso Inve largely facilitated the business, and no doubt at the same time Jessened the opportunities for speech- sunking at the meetings of the Council. There has been no friction between the Governor and members of the Council as in Sir Jehu Pope Hennessy's time- friction which was not only productive of much unpleasantnes but was a great hindrance to the progress of legislation. Mr Byrin's remarks on the cecasion were appropriate and deserved. His Excel- Jency las brought the Lepislative Coun
cil into better working o fer than evor it was in before; it bas during the session performed an exceptionally large a mouet of useful work; and there ap peure to be a disposition from the Gov- 706 ernor downward to have as much dore in the way of public works and improre: ments as the finances of the Colony can possibly warraut. Even more work of this kind would probably be placed in band if the finances of the Colony would permit of it. We must not, however, go beyond oat means.
