members of Council ought to be the first to whom the despatch ie do know, but they would have been well content if it had been cirenlated to them half-an-hour before being sent to the newspapers. As to the torm of the despatch, if report speaks truly, they are not likely to be agreeable to the community. The appointment of the General to the Council is in itself a wise and propor ater, especially now that the Officer comminuiding the Garrison is always to act as locum tenens, for the Governor when the lattar is absent, but that is a question entirely apart from the 'one on' which, the Secretary of State's decision is so auxionsly awaited, namely, whether we are to have an upolicial majority of the Legis Iative Council. According to the report in circulation, in order to keep the relative voting strength of the official and unoff cial, sides at its procent standard an additional Chinese member is to appointed as a counterpoise to the appoint- ment of the General on the cffcinil side, and that is the whole sum and subtance of the tter. If no further concession than that is made it will be a great dimppointment to the community, but until the actual terms of the deapnich are known further conument would be useless.
