THAT immaculate association known as the Hongkong Chamber of Commerce is once more letting us know of its existence, for although nothing is said in the advertisement in another column as to the authority which has assumed the responsibility of calling the public meeting for Wednesday next (15th inst.), it is under- stood to have been done at the instance of this body. Once a year we are made aware of its existence by the Chairman imitating the President of the British Association at
an matters commercial, social, and political. He favoured us this year, in an address of considerable ability, with his views generally upon there subjects, and the community no doubt were proportionately edified. Now, we conclude, we are to have this gentleman's views upon an essentially political matter, namely the burning question of a Chinese Consul to be or not to be. Considering that the Appointment has been made by the Foreign Office, and the Tsung-l Yamen duly notified; considering also how unlikely it is that the appointment would have been made unless its advantages or disadvantages had been weighed by Lord SALISBURY, it does seem as if the energetic little Chairman of the Chamber will' exhibit himself, in this matter, in an attitude no more dignified than that of Ajax defying the lightning. We have seldom read a more feeble case than has been made out by our contemporaries opposing the measure. The Daily Press reproduces Sir RICHARD MACDONNELL'S THE public meeting which has been sum despatches on this subject, written nearly moned for to-morrow (15th inst.) to consi- a quarter of a century ago, when the der the question of the establishment of question was first proposed, and endeavours a Chinese Consulate at Hongkong, offers to show that the arguments then adduced another illustration of the dictatorial have the same weight and effect as now. manner in which that would-be autocratic Is this so? Governor MACDONNELL, in the Institution the Hongkong Chamber of first instance, takes exception to the fact that Commerce seeks to conduct its business. the appointment of a Consul had not only for it is now pretty generally known that not been initiated by the Chinese authorities, that body of self-constituted guardians of but was actually an impromptu suggestion the public welfare are responsible for the of the British Minister, and, by Inference, | issue of the summons, A brief con- he tries to make it his'strong point that It sideration of the question shows us will be time to consider the appointment the inconsistency exhibited by this institu- when officially applied for through the tion in the treatment of the question, and proper channels.

We have fearlessly supported the Hongkong Chamber of Commerce, when we conceived them to be in the right, and we shall equally fearlessly oppose them in every question which they advocate, what in our opinion is prejudicial to the general interests of this community The present question is one principally affecting Chinese interests, in which the Chamber apparently want to "hold the umbrella" and pose as the guardians and protectors of Chinese. If they so far forgot themselves as to give their real motives, we should find that they regard the question as a peg upon which they can hang an argument to cover up from sight their own particular game, as they did the Sunday labour question.
