HONGKONG JOTTINGS.
The chief topic of the week must surely have been the Weather. The Great Cold," accord- ing to the Chinese Calendar, should have ur, ivod) last month, but it missed its way to Hangkong and did not reach us till the beginning of February. On January 23rd the temperature reached as high as 79.3 P; for the past woek the mercury has not risen much above 4 dsgross, and the prevailing modes are sables and fare and lanket coats. The druggists should advertiso cures for colds and chilblains. I nction that the Director of the Westher has boor playing strange pranks in Europe also. In the early days of the year it was colder in the Sun of France than in Scotland.
