It will be remembered that a great grievance with the deputation of Chinese was a report, which Sir Jos POPE HENNESSY was not in a position to contradict, that Inspector QUINCEY, who had been specially promoted to that rank by His Excellency, had been reduced to his former grade of Sergeant by the Administrator. Writing on this matter our morning contemporary of this date is responsible for the following:-

Wherever he has ruled, he has always taken the sideof the down-trodden masses against the astrow little planter and offcial clique, to the very great advantage of the Colony. The bitterness with which he is usually spoken of by the average Colonial on leave is the strongest testimony in his favour. My experience of Colonial officials
