HONGKONG, MONDAY, March 19, 1883.
That the members of the Chamber of Commerce took but a lukewarm interest in the committee's action "out of the record of the ordinary business of the Chamber was plainly evidenced by the thin attendance at the meeting. With only five members present, outside the officials, to confirm the unprecedented policy of the committee in interfering in matters beyond the scope of the Chamber's ration d'irs, as set down in a most elaborate and carefully compiled report, we think the executive have little reason to congratulate themselves either on the results of, or the amount of general ap-.j preciation displayed in, their arduous lap- ors. It must have been especially galling to the Hon, F. BULKKEET JOHNSON to find that the important public acts of what he claims to be the only representative body in this Colony, endorsed by only five persons out of a numerous constituency. Mr. Jouxson's notorious letter to Mr. MAONTAC, M.P., Chairman of the London Chamber of Commerce, Impugning the veracity of Governor Haxy's statements on smuggling in his celebrated Nottingham address, and otherwise vilifying and abusing His Excellency is publicly sup ported in Hongkong by only five gentle. men, three of whom are foreigners, one an avowed enemy of Sir JoRN POPE HEN NESSY and the other a retainer of "the princely house," A greater satire on the honourable gentleman's so-called repre sentative body than these simple facts could not possibly be produced.
