The public outside the Legislative Council have expresssed their continued confidence in him, and we look to him to prove that public spirit is not dead and that there are still public citizens, loyal to the State, who are prepared to devote a large portion of their scant leisure from the worries and labours of business life for the advancement of ime reform in the public interest.

For the past ten years he has represented the Chamber of Com merce in the "Legislative Council and has represented that body, which may be said to "be the very essence of Hongkong, in inanner of which his constituents may well be proud and Mr. Whitehead has no need to ba asliamed. We have no hesitation in saying that though out the whole of his career in the Council Mr. "Whitehead has been 'fair, even-minded" and above all clean-handed.、 Ho has never curried favoured at the hands of the Government and has from first to last approached every question with an open mind and a determination to get to the bottom of things, which is seldom found munity such as this.

This we can assure our contemporary is not the case, and in proof thereof we quote their own leading article of four years ago, whichy runs as follows- LEADING ARTICLE PROM THE "CHINA MAIL" APRIL 8TIF, 1896. Several months ago, the Lord Rector of Edinburgh University, the Right Hon. J. P. B. Robertson, Lord Justice-General of the Court of Session, and for many years one of the ablest speakers in the Conservative Party, delivered his Rectorial address to the students. The greater portion of his address was devoted propose to take them as read. The report, 1. to "The public value and public, duties of dis think, touches, upon all the points of our ciplined intellect.

We do not quite agree with the Lord Justice General in his conclusions. To those who have atudied the municipal administrations in Eng- land and Scotland (Ireland we leave out of the question) it must be abundantly evident that there is a marked degeneracy in their personnel, and the County Councils are gradually going the. same way.

ACCORDING to the "Kobe Chronicle, the fees liable to be paid in British Consulates, on and after April 1st, will be raised, some being doubled. Thus for the discharge of a sailor from a ship the present fee of 50 sen will be increased to Y. 1. A bill of health, for which a fet of Y. 3 is now charged, will be raised to Y..5. Other Consulates, by the way, charge Y. 10, and even after the increase the fees at the British Consulare will be below those ruling in other Consular establishment. THE Empress of China, which arrived on Saturday evening, says the. M. C. D. News, brought Sir Henry Blake, Governor of Hong kong, with Lady Blake, Miss Blake, and Viscount Sindale, A.D.C.

THE dissolution of the Kyoritsu Steamship Company having been decided upon by the shareholders, the Osaka Shosen Kaisha has been in negotiation for the purchase of the “Ogon-maru and twelve other coasting steamers. owned by the former firm.

I am also pleased to tell you that attention is again being given to our Jalis Mine, or as Mr. Hughes puts it, to the South Jalis.hill, where, leaders have been found, the "ore; of which on crushing gave a result of fifteen. pennyweights of gold to the tan. This is the more gratifying because it was from the jalis Mine that our best results in the past were obtained. It will be remembered that it was from the Jalis Mine that monthly crushings of about 1,000 tons of Ore yielded 400 to 500. ounces of gold; and if the fifteen ponnyweights already mentioned be looked upon as a fair indication of future working, we may hope for a like result in, the not distant future. One thing more remains to be touched upon, and that is, the bursting of the embankment l'of the reservoir, We have had a report on the subject by a Firm of Engineers in Singapore, and they advise that a new dam be constructed, and submitted a tender for the work. But your Directors deemed it advisable to have the work carried out under the super- intendence of our own Engineer, and with that end in view engaged the services of a Mr. Terry who had superintended similar, work for the Raub Company, but most unfortunately we lost the services of this gentleman through a very sad and deplorable event: which is doubtless well known to all of you, therefore need not refer to it further. In the mean- time measures have been taken to divert a. portion of the water from the dam into the Blume, so that we may be able to get enough
for the battery. The necessary, steps "however. for the construction of a new dam àre' in hand- and operations will be commenced as soon as
In Hongkong, there is the same repugnance to public life.

But numerous opportunities have arisen for supporting the representatives of the community, and we are sorry to have to say that too many of these opportunities have been lost. It is, therefore, with enhanced gratification that we publish in another colume the public address presented to the Hon. TH. Whitehead thanking him for the time and trouble devoted to the interests of possible. As it may be some little time before the Colony while on holiday in England.
