REUTER'S MESSAGES.
We publish in another column a list of the various projects now before the Jubilee Committee and the public for the celebration of the sixtieth anniversary of Her Majesty's accession to the throne, and we propose in this article to classify and examine them. The first broad divi-TELEGRAMS. sion is into (1) proposals dealing with the local rejoicings, ephemeral in their nature, and (2) proposals suggesting the form In which the Colony may best and most use- fully commemorate to future generations this ever memorable event in the history of the Empire. Mr. Ho Axar's proposals as to an address, Illuminations, Areworks, Chinese processions, and entertainments, with the various proposals about sending RASPBERRYADE, &c. representative individuals or sections of our local forces to London to take part in the rejoicings there, fall into the first of these two classes and for the present we leave them aside.

Now, with reference to these four classes, we think that the only proposal in class A, the completion and decoration of Her Majesty's statue, should be unanimously adopted and made a distinct feature in any scheme to be approved of. The statue as it stands is a mistake. If there had been funds in hand, the former` Jubilee Committee would not have left it as it is. For our own credit it must be finished. The figure should be gilt. It would be much more effective and much
more artistic so, and it would give rise to fewer cavils and stir up more respectful-ideas in the Chinese mind. The corners ought to be occupied in some 'such way as Mr. LEIGH suggests. The total expense would be comparatively small and need not interfere with any larger projects.
As to class B, the purely utilitarian projects, we suggest that they should be passed over altogether. In presenting ourselves with a Public Library and Museum, whether economic or scientific or both combined, or with baths, pavillons, Jubilee roads, schools, colleges, we are doing nothing at all appropriate to the occasion. We are not giving or presenting anything. In private life, on such occasions, we make presents to the person whom we desire to
