Whereas it has appeared perferable to Her Majesty's Government that in case of need the Governor should, at his discretion, proclaim Martial Law, in the exercise of the Royal Prerogative, the commands of Her Most Gracious Majesty The QUEEN have been received, disallowing Ordinance No. 20 of 1844, entitled "An Ordinance to empower the Governor of Hongkong wito the advice of the Executive Council thereof, in cases of exigency to place any districts or public or Military Stations of the said Island under Martial Law," and notice is hereby given that said Ordinance

We believe the last instance was in Demerara in 1819 or 1820, when the Negroes in proportion to the Whites were as ten to one, with but a few troops in garrison, and no ships of war in the river. During the attempted revolution in lower Canada in 1838 certain districts were put under martial law-this was an extreme A dissatisfier and brave body of men, casa. speaking another language, and instigated by fo- reign demagogues, raised a revolt in a scat tered territory guarded by a small body of troops, and the Executive were compelled to assume for a time such powers as enabled them to act with promptitude and decision. In the upper districts of Canads, at the same time large bodies of armed men were crossing from the United States with the intention of raising the flag of a republic there. The gallant Governor of the province did not think it necessary to put upper Canada under that fearful bane of civil life-martial law. He despatched the few troops under his control to the aid of the Governor of the lower provinces-rallied around him the loyal sub- jects of the crown and crushed the noxious weed which had been scattered far and wide, ere it could shoot up into hardy existence.

We have heard of a hurricane in a tea pot, with that anomaly, for the future may be class- ed the "seditious riot" in Hongkong. If with 1,500 troops, and from three to eight men of war, the Executive cannot control the inhabi- tants of an island eight miles long by from four to six broad, without holding the serrows of martial law over their head, they had better retire to their native land and make vacancies for those who can.
Yesterday a post Office circular intimated that the mail for England by the "Lady Mary Wood" would close at the post office on Sa- turday the 30th Inst., that vessel not sailing before Monday the 1st proximo.

·Ordinance No. 20 of 1844, has not received the sanction of her Majesty's Government. That the British government would put their veto upon this high handed, and tyrannical- perhaps we might say cowardly-measure could never for a moment be doubted by any one who has marked the extreme jealousy with which an enlightenedMinistry look upon the acts of Colonial Governors having for their object an arbitrary stretch of the powers with which they are intrusted for the well being of those over whom they are the guardians as well as the rulers. This ordinance of the Legislative Council of Hongkong, impowered the Gover nor to put the island, or any part of the island, under martial law. Such a step is never taken except in cases of the utmost extremity as an insurrection among a slave population, or an attempted revolution among those who are free.
