H. P. WINSLOW, Manager.

At the meeting of the Legislative Council to-morrow (Thursday) afternoon the Budget for 1997 will come up for eriticism or commenda- tion by the Unofficial members.

The estimates amounting to $17,741,543 were introduced by the Colonial Secretary at the meeting of the Council on October, 15th.

The Daily Press has received the following contribution on the subject. from an old resident who is now on holiday and has, apparently, been thinking over matters very seriously during his leisure. He writes: It is said you cannot see the wood for the trees, and so it is with affairs in Hongkong: when one is resident & cor reet perspective cannot be gained, but when one has left and reflects on the subject everything stands out in its proper proportion.
