The ex-Viceroy of Cunton, who has been a distinguished vinitor to Hongkong, must be baft on heroic lines.

Replies to the Governor's letters have been received from His Excellency the Governor of Macao (7th April, 1909) promising every assis. tanse in his power, and from His Excellency the Governor of the Straits Settlements (24th February, 1909) warmly approving the scheme and offering any assistance. In consequence of trade depression it was now, he said, a bad time for an appeal, but later on the Chinese in the Straits hope to give effectual assistance. His Excellency the Viceroy of India regretted the inability of the Indian Government to con- tribute. The Chairman, Shanghai - Municipal Council, warmly approved the scheme and said he would reply later regarding contributions (9th February, 1909)

Louis returned once more to London, and again became a prominent figure in the world of fashion. He spent money most lavishly, and, after a time, he found himself compelled to resort to moneylenders. In April, 1843, during the Chartist disturbances, we find him serving as a special countable. Apparently it was at this period that he met Miss Howard. Her beauty had brought her many friends. She had money, and full of hope for the future of Lonis, she gave him what help she could. The two, accordingly, became the most intimate of friends. After this things went well for the future President of the French Republic. Then on Emperor. In December, 1848, he was elected December 2, 1851, he executed the coup d'etat by which he made an end of Constitutional Government. The following year the Empire was inaugurated. Daring all these stirring events Mine Howard was in close attendance upon him. She appeared with him at public functions, and received the courtesies due to the friend of a ruler. But at length they parted. On great January 30, 1853, Louis married Eugenie de Montijo, Courtess of Teba. As for Mise Howard, she was given a handsome farewell gift of £250,000 and the title of Countess de Beauregard.
