To reshtents in the Far East who have not the opportunity of attending the annual din per of the China Association in London it

net always be a pleasure to read the reports of that interesting gathering and to scan the list of these present.. The Association's record of work is ombodied in the annual repert and appendices, the speeches at the dinner being of a complimentary and con vivial character rather than expositions of high policy. At the gathering bele on the 1st of last month there were, however, one or two declarations made which will strike home to residents in Chiun or Hongkong. The one that touches us most immediately in this colony is the statement made by such a high authority as General CAMERON that our garrison is insufficient. General Ca NERON has filled the Hongkong command and knows whereof ho speaks. If it struck him that the garriano was insufficient at the time he was here how much more wust cut be the case now, oing that the for eign flects on the station have been Strengthened, that 'Rassia now has a large {army messed within cay striking dis Sauce, and that the French have out only consolidated and strengthened their position in Tonkis, but by their occupation of Kwangehowwan have become our very close acighbours and, by attempting to claim the territory on our very borders ns within their
