To be good is to be happy, and the learned Judge teaches the lowly constable how to be good. It would be well if every social problem could be as easily solved. In dealing with his subject Sir HENRY HAWKINS has adopted a style and manner which re- calls that of the world-famous Essays of Sir FRANCIS BACON, less the unnecessary ornament of classical quotation. The policeman is taught that by following out certain clearly defined precepts "every man may assuredly raise himself to a high position in the force."

HONOKONG, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1882.
FROM reliable information lately received from England, we are inclined to think that Governor Hessessy's almost immediate return to China, as announced by the Pull Mall Geetie a few days ago, must be for the special purpose indicated by our Lon- don contemporary, namely, the settlement of the vexed opium difficulties with the Chinese Government. We are induced to
the Far East-presuming that the Pall Mall Gazette had good grounds for the announce. ment, which we see no reason to doubt must bear the character of a special mis- sion, as we happen to know that a few weeks ago Governor HENNESSY had no notion of a permanent stay in China. As matters of fact, Sir Jons Porz HENNESSY had been requested by the Colonial Office to assume the governorship of Queensland at the ex- piration of his term of office in Hongkong, and had actually arranged to leave for
a strict adherence to the rules laid down for their guidance by the learned Judge, First-and this is a matter which more nearly concerns themselves and their superiors than the ordinary public-the necessity for absolute and unquestioning obedience on their part is insisted on.
