was captured by the Portuguese police and sent to Hongkong, where he was hanged, The only interesting feature in the case of the alleged refusal to surrender cited by you, viz—that of Collag —is that it is not true. Collage bad not tied to Macao, but concealed himself bere, autil he was ship ect of to Manila in the stamer Butuan, now in our harbour. Dr. Magalhaes and other Portuguese at Hongkong and Manila could give you further particulars if need-

ed.

Now turning to the other side of the ploture. It is true that the Hongkong Goverment delivered to our Authorities the negro Diogo, who murdered Mrs Orbock and her son in 1847, but in the same year the whole of the Hongkong press (Hongkong Register, Feiend of China, and China Mail) stigmatised the conduct of Sir John Davis for having given up Marg land others at the request of Governor Ferriera da Amaral, Sir John was nick-named Amaral's bailiff and Mr Hilller of respected memory, lost his position as Magistrate and Sheriff on account of the part ho had taken in the transaction. In 1867 the Hongkong Authorities were, deaf to the repeated requests of Senhor Coelho do Amaral and Consul Remedios to deliver up the four Portuguese, captured in the East Coast by the British Gun-boat. The four unfor tubate men were tried here, without the assistance of a counsel, for crimes com- mitted out of Hongkong jurisdiction, and hanged. After all, what is sauce for the goose is not sauce for the gander.

You will now as that you havė, un- willingly, I am sure, cast a slur on the accusation of their screening criminals from Portuguese Government, and that your the justice of a civilized power is quite unfounded.

The Portuguese having so freqrently been the butt of sarcasm of the Hongkong Press, and our feelings to repeatedly wounded to the quick, that I felt somewhat

reluctant to address you.

about the time that the tail-clipping excite mont subsided at Shanghai, it arose in the largo villagos adjacent. When it appeared here, it had disappeared from other parts of the province; indeed, we hardly know of its simultaneous occurrence at places far separated. At the present moment, the adjacent province of Chekiang seems to be subject to the epidemic. The sprites then are not abiquitous, or in other words, the agents of the Secret Society who have undertaken to get up the excitement are not numerous enough to operate extensively, else the results of their labours would be calamitous to the state.
