Can any oÙB_EX¬ cepting the Head of the Executive fail to see how ridiculous a figure is cut by the Queen's Representative here, by the concluding paragraph of this pretions Minute. Spite of all this good con-
tance scale, and so on, Lee Lum Kwai, now that he is unconditionally released, is declared to be a person dangerous to the peces and good order of the co- Jony. That is to say, that the Govern- or of the Colony, having been left to his unaided faculties, committed most torrible blunder (if not worse), and the officials rushed to the rescue to make the best of a bad business. It is donbt- fal whether keeping Lee Lum out. of the Colony will do much good: tho

We have already remarked upon the EELVICES OF THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND POE sublime disregard of all considerations
of good government displayed by the release of the dangerous convict Lee Lan Kwai; and, in the comments which we deemed it necessary to make upon this reckless and almost insane action, we ventured to express the opinion that the Governor had never once referred
