It is Portuguese in Hongkong were as well looked after in the days when Macao was represented by an honorary consul-who received no salary-as they are with the present incumbent. This is no reflection on Mr. LOUREIRO's abilities; it only ques- tions the necessity for the special office which that gentleman holds. Why should the comparatively large sum paid to a Consul, whose position is said to be something, very like a sinecure, not be applied by the Lisbon Government in the cause of education? We leave our Macao contemporaries to answer the question.
We are glad to observe that the subject, mooted by us months ago, has at last been taken up by the Macao-press. Our worthy friend Dr. COLTE-REAL, probably one of the most practical, well meaning and unselfish officialsever sent from Lisbon to the "Gem of the Orient Earth," has written a very sensible letter to the Macaense, dealing with the education of the natives of Macao in the national AERATED WATERS. language. Our contemporary has taken the matter in hand, and in an article, a translation of which we publish in another column; offers several sugges THE SHANGHAI PHARMACY, tions for the amelioration of this national

This paucity of words, leaving but little for the intellectual development of ideas, has
the result that there are but very few of our compatriots who can write with facility and correctness either in the Portuguese or English language.
In Macaowe have no Central School programme to combat with this grave defect, by teaching the. elementary classes the words and phrases of the language; and we think that the difficulty can be most conveniently grappled with in Hongkong. We are of opinion that a good female teacher in the Italian Convent and a thoroughly efficient professor of Fortu- guese in St. Joseph's College would be alf sufficient for the proper elementary instruction of the rising generation in their mother tongue.

We learn that a telegram was received in Shanghai on Saturday fast, from the North; giving instructions to the Imperial Commissioner, to the effect that China must be treated with Li Hung Chang, concerning the French difficulty, honour as regards Annain, and if otherwise, Li is to make war upon France.
Since the Herald's last issue, in which we alluded to the almost unprecedented sudden rise in the price of rice, the latter went up still higher. A large quantity, however, arrived by the steam ship fide Shin, and more is expected from Ningpo; and other ports, by junks which should have arrived ere this, but have evidently been weather-bound.

On Sunday evening last, a lekin officer met with a horrible death within a short distance of the Settlement.

Among the rich Portuguese community of Hongkong, the necessary resources could be found. A powerful and patriotic society could raise without difficulty a sufficient fund for this end. And this is the sole medium which ap pears to us as possible. It will be usekas to expect a subsidy from the Portuguese Govern ment. Even in Macao the Portuguese Govern- ment treats with indifference, and even tries to depreciate this important question-of-public instruction, notwithstanding the continued cla moor about the matter, as is well-known.
To the constant demands of the people of Macao, the Government of Lisbon issued two. pompous decrees re-organiting our College of St. Joseph, but without sending teachers or means for the maintenance of them.
If such be the treatment of the Macao Portu- guese by the Portuguese Government, how can it be expected that the Portuguese community of Hongkong will receive the attention of this
