works as a public and semi-religious celebration on the 5th November haa been prohibited in most parts of England we really do not see why the Chinese should not be induced to make an effort to get through their noisy performances of New Year's Day in the space of a couple of hours say from 11 pm. to 1 L Foreigners are scarcely permitted to live in Chinese towns, much lean to banish sleep from them for a couple of nights with outrageous uproar. "We offer mo objection to our "Celestial" friends eitting up all night on such occasions į gorging pork and sweatmeats, and dun- ning unfortunate debtors until they pay or collapse, but it seems to us that when these gentle "pagans " are permit ted to deprive respectable inhabitants of this Colony of two nights sleep with their heathenish practices it time for another public meeting to be held to pass a few more remarks on the mizerable way in which the peace and order of this Colony are maintained." It is doubtless highly satisfactory to have all the evil spirits frightened away from the place, but on the whole we believe foreign residents would prefer to have a few ghouls and fallen angela floating round than the infliction of this feu d'enfer for forty-eight hours.
