THE PRISONERS.
The four prisoners laken in the new territory are still lodged in the lockup at the Central Police Station and have not so far been brought ap for trial. A representative of the Hongkong Telegraph took'a took at them this morning and they did not appear to be very much concerned at their situation. They sat on the door of their cell wrapped up in the grey blan kes which had been provided for them and hat by no means the appearance of the very desperate characters which one would imagine them to be. One is an old man of some seventy years of age and it is said, with how much truth we are unable to say, that he is the father of two of our Chinese Submarine Miners. None of the prisoners were in uni- fort, so far as could be seen, and it is a great pity that they were not, as the vexed question to the nature of the aniform might then have heen seuled.

THE KOWLOON EXTENSION.
A SHANGHAI OPINION, By sonic. misfortune had to begin his career as Governor of Hong. kong with a somewhat important matter that he has treated so mistakenly, that, as our Hongkong, correspondent advises us, the public of the Colony are disgusted with the mismanagement of the whole affair. It lus. been very well-known in the Colony for soric time that there would be opposition to the tak ing over of the Kowloon. Extensión. It was indeed only to be expected; in every cac of the kind Chinese have to save their. face," by slow of opposition which is withdrawn if the proper incasures arė taken to repressit, but which grows mpidly if it is met with weakness. The initial mistake, and a very grave one, was made when the Governor, la consequence of the obstruction offered by the Kowloon officials," posted off to Canton to ask the Viceroy to afford military. protection to the delimiting party. In the first place, if the Governor had any communication to make to the Viceroy, custoin demands that he should make it through the Consul at Canton; it is entirely infra alg, as well na being contrary to weil-founded practice; for the Governor, who is the Queen's Viceroy, lo go up in a torpedo boat to interview the Chinese Viceroy and it must lead to complications when the matter comes to the notice of the British. Minister. Then, considering the ample force: of which the Governor has the disposal at Hongkong, it was an unpardonable display of weakness for him to ask for Chinese military protection. We can quite understand that Sir fenry Blake as as yet no knowledge of Chinese character and believed every promise.
