Rise silenced. If we assume, for the sake of argument, that Sir John Pope Hennessy, as President of the Council, had some technical right on his sidu for the course lo pursued yesterday, on the. occasion when the Hon. F. B. Jolinson desired to make a motion and put some questions to the Governor, even shou thore was no necessity for the churlish - lemeanour and the evidences of actual rudeness shown throughout the sitting. But when it is borno in mind that the Transfer Books of The China Fire Insur.questions and the motion of which no ance Op., Ltd., closed from his date tice had been given by Mr Johnson were perfectly regular and in order, it is. to the 22nd Instant, inclusive.
difficult to undoæstund upon what ground His Excellency declined to placo his motion in the order book. Still Less could there be any sound renson 03- signed for the Governor's threat to con sidor and, if need be, rejont the hon." member's protest against the refusal to enter his motion in the ordir book. This was a stretch which brought the Senior Member (Hon, P. Ryrie) to his Beat, with a mib romeder that even in- the autocratic days of old nothing so ill advised was ever heard of as a refusal to entertain the protest of an hon. mem- ber. To any one who has watched the decay of constitutional privileges in this Colony, this latter circumstance will bo pregnant with meaning, and it will be ovident that here "the last straw kas broken the camel's back."

provided he give notice of his intention inmedicoly after such decision, and that such written protest, be delivered to the clerk within seven days after such decision. It shall be competent to the Council to va- pinge any passage doemed offensive in such protest.
XVI-The members of Council shall have freedom of spcock, and shall not at any time be questioned by Governorat for anything they have said therein.
Now, whatever power or authority the President of the Council, had for declining to put the motion to the meet. ing, it appears to us that he was exceed ing his powers in declining to permit Mr Johnson (1) to place hía motion upon the paper, and (2) to give his reasons for making such a motion. There can be no doubt whatever that the Governor. has been most impolitic in his action; but even descending to technicalities, as this reported advocate of freedom of speech has done, it is greatly to be feared that Governor Hennessy has exceeded the powers vested in bins by Her Majesty Under the Governor's Instructions, dated Uth April 1848, it is luid down that no question can be de bated unless first proposed by the Go-
law, fit to be enacted, or any question vernor; but if any member deem any proper to be debated, he may transmit a written afotoment of it to the Governor, and enter upon the minutes a copy of such statement, with the reasons upon which his opinion may be founded. If ady precedent exists contrary to this rule, it seems that the freedom of debate. has been retrograding instead of advan» cing with the times; and if in 1850 any good precedent can be found, under the older Standing Orders of 19th July 1858, to justify the stifling of discussion under the Rules of 1873, then we are certainly going erabwards even faster than had been hitherto supposed. But the dramatic efforts of H. E the Go vernor yesterday, during which he en deavoured throughout to extinguish and ailance, or, if possible, incense the inde pendent momber, are in striking contrast PASSENGERS arriving in Hongkong, or any with his former appearances in the cause other persons who may desire to con of Parliamentary freedom. On the 20th of August last, Governor Hennessy, in sult the files of local, China, Japan, response to a speech regarding improve American, English, India or Austra ment of procedure, agreed that a month- han newspapers, are invited to call at ly meeting of Council would great- thu ''Cuasa MAIL" Office, where overly bonefit the public service, and that sixty newspapers, dailies and weeklies, the arenda-paper should be circulated to members of Council and the preas from these countries, are now filed for tire days before such meeting.
