As to the assertion that "there is a consensus of opinion that it is as hard to shake off the morphine habit as it is to get rid of the opium habit "we have given our evidence to the contrary, and until "Pro Lono Pablico" or somebody else produces similarly authenticated proofs the bare assertions he makes are worth less. His further statement that “in Singapore a fine of $5 is Impared for the sale of a single piil cantalaing morphia" is not accurate unintentiqually, it may be since we bappen to know that morphla can be sold there just as oplum can, with an opium licence, though not without.

As it bappens, the morphia injections are ridiculously small part of the whole question of narcolle poisons among the Chinese, who seem as resolutely devoted to this habit as Western nations are to alcohol; probably the one is just as harmless as the other, is moderation; certainly each is equally irremov able, and all that the Government can do is to regulate the trade, protect the revenue by leaving no variety untouched, and do what it can with the extreme cases in which the habit becomes a mania and a public nuisance or even a danger. For with a certain class of people-Europeans as well as Chinese-it cannot be disputed that morphlomanis is a terrible disease, as "Pro Bono Publico" says, "universally condemned by the medial faculty," very much the same as any other mania-epiomania, dipsomania, kleptomania, at even our correspondent's own pat ve graphomania.-Editor, Hongkong Telegraph]|

THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 23, 1893.
Warren, H.B.M. Consul at Taiwan, who goes to Hankow as officiating British Representative, While, of course, it cannot be denied that a charge of such importance as Hankow is undoubtedly a step in the Service, wo are none the less sorry to lose Mr. Warren, and as proofet the estimation in which he was generally beld, the members of the community have been ryg with each other to do honour to their departing friend.
After some consultation and consideration as to the best way of substantially testifying the general feeling of geedwill to one who had lived so long amongst us, and done so much for the public went in South Formosa, it was unanimously resolved to entertsia Mr. Warren at a public banquet, and to take advanings of that opportunity to present him with an address, algard by the foreign residents at Taiwanfoo and Takow, together with testimonial in the form of a highly finished fowling piece, fitted with all the latest app:lances and improvements. At the dlaner Mr. A. W. Balo, as the oldest resident, and one of Mr. Warren's oldest friends, took the chair, while Dr. Myers acted as croupier, NE- sisted in the duties of the post by Messrs. D. Moncrieff Wight and R. J. Hatlogs.
Ample justice having been dare to the good things under which the tables groaned, at the call of the Chairman Dr. Myers, profacing his set with a few appropriate remasks, proceeded to read the community's address to the quest of the evening as follows:

amidst loud and long continued applause.
After a low mare, speeches and toasts, an adjournment was made to another room where, led by our accomplished and obliging planist the rest of the evening was spent le mirih and song.
Apart from the above there is very title of general laterest to report from this portion of the world. Things are generally very quiet, and the bum-drum monotony pi lila goes on with is usual exasperating regularity.
The Formosa came in unexpectedly on the 17th, bringing a cargo of kerosene off. The steamer Pacting left for Sharghal on the 13th taking away Mr Warren and a large cargo of
sugar for Ningpe and Shanghel. This is the last shipment of sugar that will take place this year. If an typhoons attack us, the crop for next season promises to be as unusually large one; the good prices of last year having induced growers to put a much larger area under cane cultivation.
