NOTES AND COMMENTS.
A correspondent writes protesting against the fuss that has been made over the fact that Sir W, ROBINSON left Hongkong by a German steamer. Many people dislike the transhipments of the P. and O. service, and have other reasons for preferring French or German mail steamers. If one line satisfies the require. ments of individual passengers better than another, what has nationality to do with it? There is far too much of this outcry for business matters to be guided by senti- ment. If British business has to plead its nationality against better value for the money, it is a pity!
