· NOTES ANd commenTS.
We regret that, owing to circumstances. over which we have no control, we are obliged to inflict on the long-suffering public to-day a paper heavy enough to sink a ship. It is not our fault that an epidemic of jaw has struck the colony. Here we have (1) Legislative Council, (2) Odd Volumes, (3) China Fire Insurance annual meeting, (4) China Fire Insurance special meeting, (5) G. Fenwick & Co. annual, (6) Labuk Co, liquidation meeting (7) Criminal Sessions, (8) Police Court all full of talk, all necessary, but generally uninteresting. The newspapers on days like this ought to excite the wrath of the Anti-Opium League, as being calculated to put people to sleep and destroy their hopes of heaven.
Hongkong is rapidly reaching that stage in which verbatim reports must cease to be the rule. Fancy a London paper publishing a full report of every meeting
