HONGKONG, FRIDAY, JULY 2, 1869.

THE EUROPEAN-CHINESE COL- LEGE AT PEKING. "THE Peking College, we hear, is a failure," says the News Latter in a racont igue. The information is scarcely new, but is to a certain extent valuable, from the fact of Itsappearing in a journal which has been decidedly favourable to the Hart Burlingame schemes, and therefore unlikely to exaggerate any incident which, directly or indirectly, shows their influence to be upon the wane. In his efforts to induce the Chinese to establisk the Peking College, we give Mr Hart full credit for goal and good intention.

We do not lose sight of the fact that the school long since established at Peking was designed to furnish the first batch of native Interpreters. But it is equally undeniable that the intention of the College was to supersede the school and in fact attract natives of sufficiently good social standing to give them infu- ence with their own countrymen and & certain claim to our consideration. But with proverbial Chinese official inso- lence, the lads first selected to become the recipients of foreign linguistic educa tion, were not merely of a class, by com parison, socially below that of the foreigns student interpreters, but absolutely and literally from the dregs of the people; sơ tious regarded them with undisguised that the Chinese "teachers" of the Lega-
