HONGKONG, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 1883.

We are glad to observe that the Telephone Exchange in connection with the Oriental Telephone Company, Limited, and under the auspices of the Great Northern Tele- graph Company, has at last become un fait accompli in Hongkong, having been opened to the public from the 1st instant. It is now such a considerable time since subscribers to establish a Telephone Ex- change in this Colony were solicited by the Great Northern Telegraph Company, that we were under the impression the movement had been abandoned, owing to lack of support. However, it appears that the delay in commencing active operations was caused by the local Gov. crnment having shown considerable hest- tation in granting the Company the permission to erect the necessary poles on which to run the wires for this extensive undertaking a hesitation which is cer- tainly not easily understood when the sub- stantial benefits which the commercial community, must derive from the tele. phone system, are taken into considera- tion. There has been no delay whatever, so far as the Company is concerned, in commencing active operations, as trained operators and workmen, together with all necessary materials and Instruments, have been in readiness for some considerable time past.

the proceedings were anything but free from biar in favour of the plaintiff; indeed, in the view of any one at all conversant with art, Sir Frederick Leighton's evidence alone was conclusive so far as regards the purely technical question involved. But the judge has laid it down that the evidence of experts is not worth as much as that of ama teurs, and the jury, after the manner of its kind, has adopted the opinion. The result will cause great dissatisfaction to all but friends of Mr. Belt, for it is difficult to feel that justice has been done.

It is, perhaps, not very uncharitable to assume that such action as the Canal Com- pany has taken has been prompted by a natural desire to forestall the schemes which have been mooted for making our road to India independent of M. de Lesseps.
