SIB, The sensible leader in your issue of this morning will be appreciated by many of your readers. It would be interesting to know on what grounds it was considered necessary to roto a sum of $50,000 to the Queen Victoria Memorial Fund to supplement the amount of nearly $78,000 raised by private subscription. His Excellency the Governor, according to your roport of the proceedings at the Council Meet ing on Thursday, gave no explanation. The Legislative Council, more especially as it is not a representative body, was surely not well alvised in taking upon itself to vote any por- tion of the revenue of the Colony for such a purpose. The sum of $50,000 is, it is true, a mere nothing to the Colony, but there are at at least three distinct grecode why such a vote -should-not-bave been made izm
(1) The Legislative Council, although it legally the power, had no right to make it.

(2) The idea of erecting one kurge memorial in London and asking British subjects all ever the world to subscribe to it is absurd, and a musli fitter way of erecting a memorial worthy of Her late Majesty could, in so far as this Colony is concerned, have been found in Hongkong.

Mr. JOSEPH-My object in asking these questions was simply to elicit more clearly certain matters connected with the sum available for dividend, and because there are people out side who are talking too much about the commission the General Managers are charging. I asked those questions to elicit the facts, so that people will not talk so much against the Company. (Apple)

To illustrate the vast scope of the work the following facts are submitted for consideration:-- Chalmers Vocabulary contains about 16,000 Chinese characters, and Medhurst's English and Chinese Dictionary about 100,000 whilst this work contains more than 50,000 English words and upwards of 600,000, Chinese characters. Again, despite all the grammars and other elementary works as yet published, the student. of this difficult language absolutely requires ex- amples to display the various applications and equivalents of different words which have one general meaning. Of these examples this work: contains more than five times as many as any other Dictionary hitherto publishe.
For practical purposes the arrangement of the work is so complete that a reference to its pages enable a person who understands English to communicate effectively with natives who under stand nothing but Chinese. In this respect the work will be found indispensable to all Europeans residing in China, and to the natives themselves tow it explains subjects fully with which very indeed of them are perfectly acquainted. To parties resident in England and interested in China it cannot but be invaluable ouasionally
It comprises upwards of two thousand large quarto pages.
