The only point upon which much can that case, bessid, is the deference which should be paid to the opinions of non- official members of the Council Their very weakness as effectual opponents of obuoxious measures should ensure for them an extra amount of attention. Courtesy should disguise as fat sa po sible the determination to act contrary to their wishes. Of bourse that would leave the Council where it is a simple nonentity. But matters would go more pleasantly, and the Governor's opponents would have the satisfaction of knowing that their representatives bad had a full hearing and their speeches would be duly reported for perusal at home. Put it how we will, our Government here must be either after this fashion or representative. It will never become the latter intil Hongkong is able to manifest a public interest in official matters,

NEWS has arrived from Shanghai that H. RH the Duke of Edinburgh is expected at the Model Settlement on the 22nd instant, and that he has expressed his intention of remaining there a couple of days.
