But let us sea what our contemporary has to say further on. He has apparently been attempting to perform impossibili ties, with the usual result. The British linister, or the Governor of Hongkong, must not act in defiance of their instruc tions. So says this authority, and no one is likely to contradict so safe statement. But what we suggested was that the authorities on the spos, seeing as they ought to do the full effects of passing events, should, if they possess independence and vigour equal to the occasion, so influence instructions as to guard the interests confided to their thugo. Any respectable sub ordinato could blindly obey instructions; and if an unflinching adherence to in tructions from Home, unsocompanied by any healthy modifications to meet
