country should be easbled to manage its own affairs without reference to the Central Government. This feeling would seem to be taking skapu, in various ways at Home and elsewhere in increased demands for an extension of the powers now entrusted to municipal bodies; and it is not unlikely that this desire may sooner or later take definite form in this Colony. The establishment of a Municipal Council here has been nooted occasionally for many years past. Something of the kind whe pro- posed by Mr Granville Sharp at the famous public meeting on the Cricket Ground in 1878, and somewhat un- ceremoniously disposed of by the ill- suppressed impatience of those present.

The first is, the decided disiacliantion on the part of leading merchants to undertake municipal or semi-official duties; and the second is, the extroine difficulty that must arise, in a small Colony like Hongkong, in draw- cipal duties.
