- Our contemporary of the London and China Express is a little adrift in hi remarks upon the land ownership of this Colony. The fact that a large share of the land and property here is coming into the hands of Chinese is probably owing, as is alleged, to the prices which Chinese are prepared to give for the security and comparatively honest go verament furnished under the Britsh rule. But our contemporary seems overlook the fact that English property holders are also large owners of Chines houses, while Foreign capitalists hay also engaged to a very great extent in converting foreign-built buildings int Chinese shops and dwelling-housSE Indeed, the expansion of Hongkong must in a measure depend upon thi Inevitable tendency. No one ever ough to overlook this fact and, so far as ara informed, no sensible member of thi foreign community over did. Wher the mistake hus boen, is the foolia prominence that has been given by th present Governor to the so-called right of the Chinese who come here under th British rule. Governor Hennessy hi assumed a position which is really abou Golfa-century before the time, and ha led the Chinese to suppose that Hongkong was occupied (as he appon to think) solely for the benefit of the
