CHINA AND SPAIN.
It is just one year since the Spanish Govern. ment refused China's request for permission to establish consulates in Manila, and at other prints in the Spanish colonies in the Pacific, and a correspondent has now written us naking "whather the late cruise of the Chinese Peiyang squadron, with Admirals Long and Tior, had anything to do with the aforesaid strange refusal of the Spanish Government?" We cannot speak positively upon this subject, but consider that our correspondent's supposition has been evolved from something more note- worthy, than mere speculation. Nevertheless we are reluctant to believe that the advisers of the Chinese Government can have been so silly A to imagine that a Celestial naval demonstra tion in the waters of Spailah possessions in the Pacific will overawe either the home or colonia! authorities of the Spanish Empire; or that such demonstration would tend towards a speedy solution of knotty questions which may unhap
The Acting Registrar-General is the present head, under the Governor, of the Department of Licensed Infamy. A few days since he irformed my missionary friend, Mr. W. E. Robbins, of Bombay, in my presence, that, as the universal cficial panderer to lust, he registers. Japanese, European, and American women and girls, eg ially with Chinese Japan has learnt from Britain, as one of the charac teristics of our civilisation, the science of licen ing sin; and increasing numbers of Japanese women, *ome having borne the Government licence there, transfer themselves, or are shipped by others, to Hongko g and Singapore. Recently a consign- ment arrived at Ceylon; bit, happily for that island, the authorities at once shipped them bark again. The Acting Registrar-General at Hing Kon says that the Government possesses the power to banish any person; but it is not exercized against women who come from other lands to aid in corrupting the colony under a permit from his department. The European women are principally Hungarian, who, it is well known to the Acting Registrar General, and the police, are largely brought to Hong Kong under falac preter ces.
Such is the universal corruption of this fficially bel uded place that no Englishman, no European, small Christian churches, is expected to lead or American, who is not a member of one of the other than a life of gross vice. It is chastity and not sin that is boycotted in Hongkong society. la the vast majority of cases it were infinitely belter for parents in G eat Britain to bury these sons than to send them to commercial or official life in Hongkong, unless they are well-established Christians, and to bury their daughters than to allow them to become le, ally (what they cannot become morally) the wives of men who are engaged there in such prsuits.
