We feel bound to say plainly that the failure of the Sanitary Board to answer the purposes for which it was originally instituted has been solely owing to the obstructive policy of the official members. These gentlemen, although the paid servants of the public, have never been able to identify themselves with public interests; they have been Government officials first and members of the Sanitary Board afterwards. It is needless to go far back for proofs in support of this contention; the meeting of Wednesday last furnishes conclusive evidence of the utter Incapacity

The beater of the Imperial edict arrived this afternoon and on reaching the Vice-regal Yames received a sature of from the one immediately facing the front wall of nine guns in honour of the Emperor. All the gates the court-yard to those inside, numbering four, to the very arcasa of the Yamen, were thrown open at the sound of the first volley, and the Imperial Courier, a military officer, alighting from his horse, was met the Viceroy in full court dress-not the mbes one sees an official wear on ordinary occasions, but with hat, coat and beats entirely different.

The Viceroy's robes were richly Ingly, like a Chinese lady's petticoats, The boots, instead of having the usual pointed shape, were square-toed, and reminded, one of those used in Chinese theatricals.

Having greeted the Imperial Courier, the Viceroy escorted the representative of China's Majesty into the Tatang,, or Great Hall of Justice, where a table was set with incense and candles facing northwards. The Courier then walked up to the front of the table and took out, from within the folds of his dress, the Imperial edict, gorgeous in yellow satin, and with averted face, unfurled the roll in front of the Viceroy, Suddenly every one present, from the Viceroy himself down to the meanest of his suite, fell down in adoration.

This of which, while still their knees, the Courier read out the Imperial commands ended, the Viceroy arose and, taking the Imperial edict with both bands, took the place of the Courier and raised it alalt. The Courier went through the same ceremony as the Viceroy and, having done so, retired, not a word having been by a side door (according to his rank), as all the spoken. He retired, not by the big gates, but respect shown was not to the bearer but to the despaich he bore.
