Q: what difference is there in the fine foflicted by the wise bench" on a Civilian who threatened to kick a policeman illegally intruding into his house and a "mili- taire" threatening to break a civilian's head.

These three ordinances alike exhibit a bit of, at an early date. As to Ningpo and Foo-chow- coaceit, which if it does not render them foo, as they are seldom visited by ships, and nagatory, certainly shows a wonderful degree there is only one commercial Agent resident of irregularity in the Legislative Council of at the latter, and none at the former, there Hongkong. We presume that the proceedings are but few complaints. The wonder is how of this body are duly recorded by their Clerk, the Consular Gentlemen manage to kill time. and placed in the Colonial archives. On the 19th of August 1845 when these ordinances pas- sed Council, His Excellency, the Governor, was simply John Francis Davis, Esq.-infor- mation of the honor conferred upon him not having been received in the colony until the 14th of September-yet they are headed," By: His Excellency Sir John Francis Davis, Baro. net.” There may be no difficulty in proving that the John Francis Davis, Esq., and the Sir John Francis Davis, Baronet, are one and the same person, but we apprehend that the desire to blazon forth His Excellency's blush- ing honors, is no apology for what appears to be a mutilation of three most important public Į documents.
That these ordinances either passed Council on the 19th of August, or they did not pass on that day is a self evident proposition. If in the affirmative, they were passed on the 19th of August, then they were not passed by Sir John Francis Davis, Baronet; if in the negative, they were not passed until a subsequent date, then they bear an incorrect date. In either case the blunder is a ludicrious, if not a serious 030. We hope it is merely ludicrious, but we leave it for better Jurists to decide.

Negotiations have for some time been pending between H. B. M. Consular Canton and the Chi- nese authorities on the subject of the restrictions which continue to be put on foreigners resident at that port. After all the blood and money spent in the late war, the victories, the treaties, and supplementary treaties, which obtained for the British Envoy so many testimonials of approbation from the people of Great Britain, it may be in vain that they are told the true condition of their countrymen in Canton. In the city which was at the mercy of a British army but a few years ago, and the capture of which would have led to its annihilation,-if not by the conquerors, certainly by its own ruffian inha- bitans, British Merchants and British officials, in common with all other foreigners, are little better than prisoners. Their habitation, is confined to one limited locality, beyond which they cannot extend their peregrinations, if we except the liberty to make purchases in two or June. New alvertisements, will be received, until 4 three filthy streets, immediately behind the fac- Clock, on the evenings previous to publitories. The only place afforded for exercise cation, viz: Tuesdays and Fridays.

We hear that Mr. Macgregor has proposed that, foreigners be permitted to leave the boun- daries of their present prison, as far as they can travel and return in one day. This appears to be a very moderate request, considering who it is made by, but there are doubts whether it will be acceded to. Unfortunately Mr. Macgregor acts under the Superintendent of trada at Hongkong, and is therefore looked upon as an interior person by the Chinese, Reference has to be made to Hongkong; instructions received from Hongkong; and Hongkong legislative

The result of any measure which has to pass through such an ordeal, is but too certain-it will share the fate of the ordinances die of the incapacity of those who have it in charge.
John Bull has a large revenue and a large expenditure. Part of his money he spends like a wise man, and part very foolishly, but none of his follies equal his Chinese folly. The possession he has obtained, and the privilege of trading at four new ports have made hun prodigal Ho has sent servants to govern his little island as ifit was an eastern principality; and at ports where there is no commerce, nor one resident British merchant, he has Consular establishments, for which he pays some £4,000 a year each; and these are under a Superinten dent of Trade, whese sole knowledge of trade is, confined to that carried on by a Company of Monopolists long since abolished. John Bull is certainly "paying for his whistle," but he will come his senses by-and-bye, and there will be a curtailing of expences in this quarter, and a re-modelling of his establishmens. Hong- kong, with its Lieut. Governor and a legislative council containing some of those who have an actual interest in its prosperity, will cot, as now, be a blot upon the Colonial office, worse, if pos sible, than New Zealand.

Charles Gordon Holdforth, Esq. has been appointed Coroner of the colony,* pending the receipt of Her Majesty's pleasure
It is to be hoped that this appointment is a permanent one, with a remunerative allowance commensurate to the importance of the office, and the unpleasant duties attached to it.
Since the shabby treatment of Mr Faracomb, which lead to his resignation, after having acted as Coroner for nearly two years gratuitously, that appointment has been held by at least three individuals, and on a recent most important in- quest, there was no one in the Colony legally authorised either to sammen a Jury or hold an inquest. The Acting Chief Magistrate very properly as we think-assumed the duty himself; but such irregular proceedings, when a fitting person can be had, willing to ac cept the apointment, cannot be approved of, and it is to be hoped will be avoided if the Executive have my respect for the power with which they are for a time intrusted.
