We respect the religious scruples of Mr. FRANCIS FLEMING, C.M.G.; and we should do so if he were a Mahomedan or a dis- ciple of CONFUCIUS instead of a believer in Pope Leo XII and PETER the Fisherman; but Mr. FLEMING as a private individual is one person and as the representative of British interests in this colony he is quite another. If he is to neglect his duty, and what are clearly, the best interests of Hongkong, on the paltry ground that his religious beliefs interfere with the proper 0.75 carrying out of certain functions for which he is unmistakably responsible, then it is quite, clear that he falls far short of the responsible position he now occuples.

The details will come out sometime, we suppose.

"PRAYER is the soul's sincere desire," offered up by deputy for fixed rates sometimes. That well-known broker Mr. H. Cohen gets through his devotions in that way. We happen to know the Summary Court this this because at morning Mr. Hastings appeared on behalf of one Mushim Moses, described as a "trader and asked for a day to be fixed for the case in which Mr. Cohen hearing of a was the defendant. The amount was $7, sued for as wages for praying, and reading the Old Testament in the defendant's house for six days, according to the custom, from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m.-Mr. Hastings stated that the defendant's wife died in Calcuits, and that on receipt of a telegram to that eff ct-.

this subject any further just now; we are so glad to see Mr. Lister once again on, the war-path that we must devote a special article to his latest tale of self-sacrifice in the days of auld lang sync. Poor Cairns, we believe, has been in a mad-house for years. Alfred evidently has a deal to answer for.

MR, MA KIR TCHONG, the popular managing director of the China Merchants 5. N. Company, has been in Canton for several days past making arrangements in connection with the new line between that port and Hongkong. We under stand that Mr. Ma's mission has been attended with great success. He will probably return to Shanghai' about the end of the present week. We read that twenty supernumerary draughts men, most of them qualified surveyors, have luck work in Melbourne for 200 a year (the Government only offers them 140). Times change. A few years ago, during the land-rushca, there was hardly a certificated surveyor in Australia who, if he chose to work, could not make anything between one and three thousand

a year.

LADY Aylesford lately sued a British railway company for so damages for the loss of a Chinese "chow chow "slut given her by Lord Wolverton and intended for a mate to a dog of the same breed. In the witness-box she stated that she already had an order for five puppies at ten guineas each, but she was nonsuited, as no negligence was proved. What's to become of poor Bill Sykes when Countesses go into dog langying?

THERE were rators in the air again last night. when Hudson's talented crowd faced the music at the City Hall. It was evident from the com- mencement that the audience had brought their Sunday smiles along, aftid as the performance progressed the fun was fast and furious. The genial "Thomas" was, it is needless to say. as brilliant as a man could well be under such a coating of burnt cork, and he was most success. fully supported by the rest of the company, Mise May Habgood's brilliant performances on the piano came in for special recognition. Lack of space prevents us from criticising the "show" more fully, but we think the young enthusiast who did the circus" business in the stalls deserving of at least, a passing notice. We do not object to anyone being lavish either in smiles or applause, but we think it is too bad, when we

For months past rumours have been prevalent that a new Customs shed was to be built in place of the ramshackle structure that has done duty for so long. I believe there is some truth in the report, but the final decision on the matter rests. with the Inspector General at Peking, to whom it is said to have been referred.
