MACAO, March 27th. „MISPLACED ZEAL}{
Much izomveniense sad nuoyance is caused by the operations of the harbour police who instituten search among the luggage and per sonal effects of Chinese passengers as they land from the steamers which strive from Hongkong. The passengers are stopped as they leave the gangway, their effects searched, and the thorough fare obstructed by the heavy bores and other belongings being examined. The police are understood to be searching for morphine, but as few of them would recognise it if they saw it the examination is reduced almost to a farce. At the same time the zeal of these officials is not appreciated by the victim of it and if this petty annoyance continues the Chinese are likely to be driven away from the Colony. If a search as to be made, o proper place shou'd be set aside for it. Certainly it should not be dons at the gangway,
