THE CHINESE ILLUMINATIONS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE "HONGXong Telegraph."

SIR,-Knowing that you are ever disposed to give all classes fair play, may I ask a little of your. Faluable space on behalf of myself and many other Chinese stopkeepers? We are al doing our best to honour Her Majesty Queen Victoria's glorious reign and have arranged for the best Humipations In our power to grace the celebration. We do so, however, with sore misgivings, in the ht of the treatment we received during the last and previous Chinese New Year' celebrations. We then made some display, only too soon to find that eurianterns had been smashed by canes to the hands of coarsel bullies, especially soldiers and sailors, and also alew dranken civilians, I, with many of my countrymen, have gone to some expense in order to do fitting honour to the Jubilee and, you must admit, it will be very discouraging !! we are to receive the same bad treatment this time. For myself I would sooner pry them to leave us alone than thus wickedly to damage our efforts to bonour one whom all Chinese regard with the deepest respect. In any case I trust the worthy Caplate Superintendent of Police Il sa dispose his forces as to save us from the bitter experience of which we have had too much in the past. Hoplag you will find space for this,

I am, &c..
