NATIONAL MOURNING.

The Committee of St. Andrew's Society, is to be commended for its tactful decision to post- pone out of respect for the Chinese nation, now in mourning, the Caledonian Ball, which was to have been given next Monday (30th |Nov.), This annual function has become such a recognized feature of the social life of the community, that it partakes of the nature of an official "celebration, and as such would rightly not be held during the honour of the late Emperor and Empress- period prescribed for the national mourning is

We can but admire the complete Innanimity with which China's millions have donned the outward emblems of bereavement, and have transformed almost in a day the vivid colouring of their surroundings to the sombre hues that tradition requires. If in any polar the strict letter of the Edicis has been ignored, we may attribute the omission to the inevitable desire of a people grad. ually acquiring self-consciousness to become emancipated from old-world restrictions ill-suit ed to the strenuous conditions of modern life.

This new phase in Chiness life has played its part in the unfortunate controversy raging dur ing the last few days, round the native theatres in the Settlement. According to the proscribed regulations the national mourning should in- clude the cessation of all music for a period of a hundred days, and a proclamation to that effect has been posted throughout the town, The effect of such an injunction would, be to compel all theatres to close their doors, and. with a view to. having this. measure adopted- the Council was approached on the subject' by the Chinese authorities. At the same time,,,
