When a Colonial Governor has once made up his mind to do nothing whatever which is calculated to produce the least fric- tion in Downing Street, the course to be adopted is clear enough. It is, indeed, just possibic slut, at this late perind of Sir George Bowen's rear, such a course is the best under the circum- stantes. But, at the same time, it inust be faced on record that such is not the kind of Government which has
which is culonlated to maintain the trade of Great Britain in the prond position which it is wont to occupy. The Boine Government may have bean only too glad to recognise the gingerly manner in which all questions have been bandled, or left untouched, by the Queen's Re presentative in this Colony, for to make up its mind upon a given subject, and to act with promption thereon, appenr to be the last things with which the Glad- stone Cabinet could be charged. This is the situation, however, after all the talk of introducing the healthy influence of unofficial membership into the Councils of the Colony; and it is with the object of impressing this fact apon the community that we draw at- tention to these considerations The community is told oues more, that these trailal questions are matters for repre- sentation to Peking, where resides the Chief Superintendent, the great Jarkins, to whom complaints ought to be ad- dressed. And further, having been dragged out by means of a question, the mercantile community are now in- formed that, not only were the instruc-.

Knowing this, s they do, it is to be hoped that the mercantile community will bear it in remembranes.
