The Viceroy expressed his admiration of the military and the navy of Great Britain and complimented the country'on her fine soldiers.

The Viceroy seemed to be very much interested in all the affairs of the Colony and expressed a hope that he would be able to come down to Hongkong on a future occasion, when it would give him much pleasure to again be the guest of Her Most Gracious Majesty's representative in Hongkong.

The healths of the Queen and the Emperor of China were afterwards drunk, and then the Viceroy took his departure, the Government House party escorting him to his chair. A guard of honor, consisting of a company of Sikhs, was in attendance under, the portico of Gov.
