THE REGISTRAR GENERAL AND THE CHINESE.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE "HONGKONG Telegraril" SIR, The following notification dated the Li ACHU and Li Asze, stone cutters, charged 16th inst, and algned by the Acting Colonial with unlawfully taking away from her home, the Secretary, appears in the last issue of the daughter of a bricklayer, and further with Government. Gaselle "It is hereby notified camally abusing her, were. committed for trial by direction of the Right Honourable the Secre at the Criminal Sessions by Captain-Thomeott-tary of State for the Colonics, that in all ordinary Both prisoners reserved their defence, and re-cases, petitions from Chinese to the Goverment quested that a man named Li Alung, a resident should be addressed in the first instance to the of the High Street, be subpened as a witness.
Is London the evening newspapers outnumber the morning issues by a majority of one. In England, outside of London, the number of each is the same, viz, forty-seven. In Scotland the numbers are also exactly even, there being eleven of each. In Ireland, however, the inorn- ing issues outnumber those of the evening by a majority of eight-the number of the former being thirteen, and of the latter only five.
Registrar General as the Official organ of com- munication between the Government and the Chinese community, although they are still at: liberty, if they prefer to do so, to address their communications direct to the Colonial Secretary, whose duty it will be to refer such documents to the Registrar General, who will make his report
on them to the Governor,"
In plain words, the Chinese community in future when they wish to make representations to the Government, must first make them to the Registrar General, and if any one of them should

The cry was not so correct as the sale, for "The Bombardment of Alexander was the one, while the other was 780,000 copies of "Hextra' 'ditions ! No such sales since the Crimean War.
practically the Registrar General will be the Governor of the Chinese community in this Colony. The only excuse for permitting the Registrar Genel to receive petitions from the Chinese can be that he understands the Chinese
language, and can translate their petitions. But the necessity for this ceases in the case of those Chinese who present English petitions and who can make their wishes known in English; and to refer all Chinese affairs to the Registrar General is, in my opinion, tantamount to constituting THE reported death of the deposed Gaekwar of him the de facto ruler of the Chinese community A STORY is told to the effect that when ex-Consul- the Principality of Baroda, in Western India, of Hongkong.

The roads of the Colony have never been so well kept as during the present summer; and in all other respects, the department can show a capital record. In our opinion Mr. J. M. PRICE is far too clever for an ordinary Surveyor General. An officer of such vast abilities, and great experience would doubtless be far more at home in a distinctly political capacity, than as the superintendent of roads, bridges, break- waters, waterworks, &c., &c., in an out of the way place like Hongkong. We really think we should be able in the course of time to recover from the loss, if Mr. PRICE were relegated by Her Majesty's Govern- ment to some other more congenial sphere. where his peculiar accomplishments would be more appreciated than they have heen here. It is possible in official life for a man to be above his position; and we think that Mr. Jous MACNEILE PRICE is far tou aspiring and clever an individual to be a mere' Surveyor General in a third rate Colony.
