Mr. Clifford the able Acting Resident has promised all the assistance he can give in furthering our work. It is unfor tunate that the state is in such pecuniary diffi.. culties, as nothing being done towards opening out the country as in the adjoining states, and so aiding any mining enterprises. Before con elading, I would agala like to express my extreme satisfaction at the manner in which"Mr." Blamey" has carried out his duties as our prospector and mlaing manager, and I only regret that we had not such a man at a very much earller date. Before moving the adoption of the report and accounts, I shall be glad to answer any questions to the best of my ability,

There being no questions the Chairman moved that the report and accounts be adopted. Mr. Holmes seconded the motion, which was carried unanimously.

The Chairman said that under the Articles of Association five directors were required, so that they were now one short. He proposed Mr. Fenwick n the new director. Mr. Gillies seconded the proposition which was carried.

On the motion of the Chairman seconded by Mr. Perry the retiring auditors, Messrs. Henderson and Lyall, were re-elected.

To the Editor of the "Homozona Talacraru.""> SIR, Your article in this evening's Issue commenting upon Colonel Storer's action in ordering the discontinuance of the Hongkong Telegraph by the Royal Engineers' non-com officer's mess is, I trifle caustic, nothing beyond what the circumstances of these and similar cases fally Justify.

My object in writing to you, however, is not so much to supplement your remarks on this particular case as to sincerely endeavour to Induce those in authority over us to treat a little more like the staid middle-aged men s great many of us are, than an ticket offcave men when we are not children, afid as Imbeciles when we are neither. I, Sir, onfidently assert my claim to be as capable of judging between what is right and what wrong morally, what is orthodox and what is heterodox in religions and what is prudent and what is preposterous in politics as any officer in this Garrisong and 1, Sir, a loyal a soldier as any of them, indignantly repudiate the intellectual ability of any cicer to say what literature I may, read and what shall be withheld from me. Have the authorities heaven help us Considering the manner of the "goings on in this Garrison lately the *ponentities" would be the more accurate expression-ever read history? Major-General Barker is a scholzt, a man who has taught men. Can he quote one single instance of the ultimate success of a persecution directed against principles, opinions, creeds or doctrines? He cannot. He knows that it is as true as a goome trical definition that persecution is as the very breath of life to intellectual freedom in the widest scose of the term. Surely the fatility of attempting to coerce a body of educated, fatal Ligent and responsible men in such a matter as this, must be as apparens, sa its pitiful fatuity 7 Can our officers not perceive that when they use the mere brute force their superfor gallitary rank endows them with to gratify their own lelasync racles and personal prejudices and enforce orders that are so manifestly beyond their province, so. evidently the outcome of a mere passing fit of childishly vindicare imitability, and that, in the opinion of every noncommis sloned officer in this Garrison, evince, Sir, disposition singularly at variance with that we are taught doth bedge, the honour of an officer, gentleman, anda Engkshman, they are aring the most effective means of rendering themselves obnoxious and their authority con temptible.-
