as usual perpetuated; this morning (7th inst.) a very tired-looking invalid might have been seen leaning back against: the wall of the reception-room at Government House, listening to a fulsome address hurled at him by two Europeans and three Chinese; who retired only to give place to about a score of officials with another treacly production, in which they talked freely about Her Most Gracious Majesty, and yawned their gratitude to their departing protector in the matter of salaries. Sir G. W. Das Vaux did

not really take the trouble to reply-he took a leaf from the address-presenters book, and said he would write it. Even on board the Oceanic the pursuit was kept up with spirit, the grand bore being in full cry almost until the propeller began to turn. Yes, ex-Governor Des Vœux deserves our sympathy. And we give it to him most heartily..

On his arrival in 1887-he came via America, as he is returning-he said he was a man of few words, preferring actions to deeds. He has not allogether sustained the reputation for taciturnity with which he desired to be credited, but he has seldom spoken in uncertain phrase; if his periods have not been quite so ornate as those of his sometime predecessor, the uxorious Bowen, they have been far away ahead of them in commonsense. When he arrived we wrote:-"The career of Sir WILLIAM DES. Vœux in this colony will depend mainly upon himself. There are many obstacles in the way, and for some time at least his office will be no sinecure; but to a resolute and Independent man, determined to work for the general weal without fear of favor, there is nothing that cannot easily be surmounted." It would be unfair to an absent man to say that his general policy. has not been all that could be wished one need but re-peruse the speeches made in the City Hall in February last year to see what he had done even up to then, and to appreciate his methods.
