THE CLEANSING OF HONG KONG.

A ORINESE LADIES' PROTEST. On the 18th inst. about twenty Chinese Ladies in sedan chairs procesded to the Registrar Gen- eral's Office, taking with them a polition to HE. the Governor, which was rand to the Hon. A. W. Brewin, protesting against the proposed fumigation scheme. The protest, translated, sais forth that --

Chinese ladies, in general, and especially this respectabile class, uro timid-and-weak, api, se a rule, look upon modesty as the principal virtue. They conline themselves in their own apart ments, being afraid of meeting strangers. But when the process of fumigation is going on in their house they will be compelled to expose themselves in the street to be teased and jered ut by the vulgar coolie class..

Grown-up girls before being betrothed lave, according to Chinese castore, to prerra their character of chastity by always secluding them solves in their hopes. But when they are sei standing in the street they cannot ovnde adverse criticism which will tend to enhance the difficulty of getting betrothed, and consequently prejudice

their wollen for life.

The profost also alludes to the danger and impropriety of exposing to the street air Chius ladies after child-birth, or suckling infants, the probable ill-effects on the children and the hardship for the sick and, for tho that earn their living indoors.

The PRINCIPAL MEDICAL OFFICES, speaking at the last menting of the Sanitary Board, said:

In considering what measures should be taken to check the year ly rean rrence of plagas, it appeared to the Board, seeing that plague always dis appears in the winter months, that it would be advisable to attempt some general cleansing of the whole City dur

this time. Un- ing doubtedly the bacillus must be pre- sent in our midst, and the object of this clean- ris alog and disinfection to attack it in its lair and zemore everything as far as possible which will conduce to its growth."

A full house marked the opening night of this company in the Theatre Royal fast ovening, and the heartiness of the applause showed that a Hongkong audience is as capable of appreciating talent as any andioncs elsewhere, The performance did not start till half-past nine, and in this the management appear to have mede a mistake, for the house was full by nine o'clock, or shortly after. Thus people were kept waiting and an impatient sadioncs is apt some- times to be critical.
