We have been aware, for several months past, that some strange proceedings on the part of certain members of the Board of Respective Officers in Hongkong have been a topic of conversation in the Military circles of the country; but we have hitherto been induced to abstain from entering upon The subject, by consideration for an old officer who was at one time conspicuous for a laudable spirit of enterprise, and whom we hoped the firm and tem- perale remonstrances of General D'Aguilar would ukimately retrieve from error.

We now learn, from the General Order published in our last raselte, extracted from the Hongkong Government Gazells, that the ill-diagnised resistan- ce to the General's authority, of which we have heard so auch during the last eighteen months, had at length assamed a character that could no longer be tolerated
