A. S. WATSON & CO., But it is unnecessary to insist on facta that are patent. No one can honestly deny that Hongkong has of late years grown completely out of its former clothes, if we may so express it. This is to a certain extent aatisfactory as a sign of prosperity, but to what does the prosperity tend if we are not to the Colony improved and modernised with all convenient rapidity?

There is no improvidence in spending money on public improvements, when we have so smple a surplus. Wo may quote once more the saying, which a correspondent recalled to our memory last. months of a former well-known unofficial member of our Legislative Council "A surplus," he said, "is a mistake, Hongong should always have a deficit." If this be not interpreted too literally, there is much sound sense in the repark is certainly ridiculous that we should contine year after year with absolutely inadequate and unworthy buildings, or worse still without any of a very necessary kind, while we have so much money in hand that we can afford to develop the New Territory, with no hope of return for a very long time to come, and yet ses our surplus revenue mounting. A little more ostentation of our wealth would only be deegnt.
