THE HONGKONG CIVIL SERVANTS,
At noon to day the members of the Hong kong Executive and Legislative Councils as sembled at the City Hall for the purpose of pre- senting the Han. J. H. Stewart Lockhart with an address.

You are leaving us now to assume the Commissionership of Wei-hai-wei, the far eastern advanca post of Great Britain, and we look forward with con fideuce to your future, in the hope and belief that there lies before you a distinguished career in positions of still greater importance than those you have been already called upon to occupy, With regard to the various questions which had to be dealt with, from time to time, în the Legislative Council, you not only displayed both ability and tact, but you showed an un.. failing courtesy to those whose opinions differed from you own.. Your knowledge of the Chinese language, and the pains you have taken to make yourself intimately acquainted with the feelings and customs of the Chinese people, have greatly facilitated the harmonious official intercourse which has existed between the Government and that numerous and important Section of the Community. In bidding you farewell, we have desired to limit the signatories to this memenio to those whose lives have been cast in the same Civil Service as your own and to the Unofficial Members of Council who have had special opportunities of appre- clating your arduous work.

He need bardly say that his regret at leaving Hongkong was very keen indeed, but the bitterness was to a great extent nullified by the recollection that though he was leaving the Colony he was leaving behind him real, trusted friends, who during many years had shown innumerable kindacases which he would never forget. The present occasion. was another illustration of those acts of. kindness which he fully appreciated. The members of Council and his fellow Civil Servants had all one object in view, and that object was the prosperity of the Calony (Applause). Differences of opinion might
