merce, die meeting deserves special astice, What will strike most of our renders is, firstly, the up-to-date knowledge of most subjects which the monthly-publication of
the minutes has given us; and, secondly, the able and exhanatire zagner in which all the leading subjects have been dealt with daring the year, and summarised for the amuual meeting. It is a credit to the commercial-community of Hongkong that
its Cisamber of Commerce is in a healthy a condition, and has been engaged so per- Kistently in calling attention to
tho
wants and aspirations of this commercial centre. Nut a little of this crudit appears 14 us to belong to the prasent Chairman of the Chamber (Mr R. M. Gray), whose shrewdness and good sense are conspicuous throughout." "Mr Gray's uddress at the 'inceting was full, elwir, outspoken, and ex- collendy well put; and altogether it is most gratifying to see that the appreciation of members was shown in tho re-election of Mr Gray as Chairman. Although the Chairman's address and the annual report speak of a watchful eye to prevent the lanposition of any dues upon shipping (which has made the Colony what itis), ouroldfriend Mr Granville Sharp could not resist the cuptatem.of forcibly parting forward his views against this policy, and in favour of 1.99 landed Property-winding up with pro- | posing the adoption of the well-written, 443
