HONGKONG, MONDAY, DECEMBER 18, 1882.

The meeting of the Legislative Council on Wednesday last was unique in many re- spects. The honourable and irrepressible F.BULKELEY JOHNSON was, of course, as pro- minent a figure as usual and indulged in another of those long-winded, 'meaningless orations, of which he appears to have quite a large number in stock.
