ALLEGED ARSON.
Ho Hing, alins Ho Cheung, his wife, and a foki, who wero dotained by Sergeant Grant of the West Point Police Station, ou Saturday, the 18th instant, in connection with an outbreak of fire which occurred at No. 205 Queen's Road West, on that day, were brought up for trial before Mr F. A. Hazeland, this morning.
In'a nominated Council, which is the creature of the Governor, there is little room for that growth of local patriotism, which is the very salt and savour of life in one of the scattered constituents of the King's dominions across the scu.
For ten years Hongkong people have been calling for elective self-government. For ten years the car of the Government has been deaf to their cry. Moro or less they are cutlanders in the place which they have made profitable.to British rule.
They view apprehensively the weakening of British influence, but are denied the one effective means of using their public opinion as a lever with which to move the inert mass of unenlightened indifference which is entrenched in Downing-street.
Look at New Zealand. Now Zealand is a magnificent colony. Her splendid isola tion gives her a blessed immunity from international anxiety. She is a new, unencumbered England of the Southern Cross. She can go to sleep o' nights sub. limely careless of the dread complications which disturb the slumbers of European statesmen.
THROUGH BIG DICK,
Now, the will of New Zealand is typified and expressed in Mr Seddon. If anything troubles New Zealand in her interior economy, or if she is dissatisfied with the conduct of the Imperial mother, the voics of Big Dick' reverberates through the world, and New Zealand has got to be
reckoned with.
London would not dream of denying to New Zealand anything which New Zealand ssionately longed for. Indeed, there was a time when it was being said that Now Zealand was running the empire and the South African War into the bargain.
But what are the concerns of New Zea- land compared with the tremendous issuos which have to be handled by representatives of our race in China? Our countrymen there are not many, but upon them depends

with Japan.'
The Universal Gazette has the following, which we translate :–“We learn that the Contral Government demanded from the Russian Representative the other day the reason of the non-ovacuation of Newchwang by the Russian forces, and received the re- ply that the delay was due to the large number of foreign men-of-war that had as- sembled at the time at Newchwang in con- sequence of which that port could not bo returned as at first agreed upon."
