quently the form and strength of tha batteries, is conclusive that there is much yet to be done, and a vast amount of time and money yet to be spent, ero the Defences of Hongkong can even approach completion. Loyalty to a bad syetem is not loyalty to the Empire. The neighbouring Colony of Singapore seems to have been more fortunato. Its Colonial Municipal Engineer was able to superin tend the erection of the fortifications there, its first vote for defences has not required supplementing by any addi- tional suma, and its defences are Bow believed to be almost ready for their promised guns. When shall we in this Colony be able to any the same ? And when shall we got the guns?
Tho recommendation made by the Council in favour of the Eculesiastical grant to this Colony will, na we pre- viously stated, receive the hearty an- proval of residents here; alibongh Me Jackson is not to be commouded for his irrelevant remarks in favour of his resolutions. The rosolations themselves are perfectly plain and comprehen sive enough without going beyond them. It would, or ought to make po difference here if the Disestablishment of the Church were sacomplished in as many words, it is not easy for hen Scotland as well si in Wales, so long ourable members to enter upon a dis- BR we considered it to be a desirable cussion upon a matter which they have and just thing to maintain the Colonial previously decided upon.

It is satisfactory to note the pra that the subsidy was to be £20,000, and not £15,000, per apeom. It aimity which proveiled in Council would, we fancy, be quite in order for against the Steam launch whistling the Council to strongly advocate the nuisance fost people have been on payment of the subsidy by the Imperial the Prays, if they do not occupy Government, and to drive home that offices there; and if they have board the argument by the remark that the Home whistling, that of itself furnishes ample anthontics can well afford to do so argument against its continuance. The since this Colony has already crippled petition of Mr Woolley and the other its fiances by voting a large sum signatories will assuredly receive dus which it had no just call to pay consideration.
