THE CHINESE ADDRESS.

Restoration of Frendly Relations with Canton.

The farewell address presented to His Excellency the Governor by representatives of the Chinese community of Hongkong, was read by the Hon. Sir Shou-son Chow as follows:

"He who is éminent in learning should apply himself to the service of the State." Thus has said a Ange of old, Another has de- clared: "It is only from a ruler who cannot bear the sufferings of the people that benevolent govern- ment can flow."

For by the learned alone can the people be instructed; and only by the ruler who cannot bear to see sufferings, can the people be carod for. These are the qualities which go to make a virtuous official, and constitute the foundation of order. ed government.

But Your Excellency was heard to say that the Chinese people, being of a race rich in a culture and civilisa- tion no whit Inferior to those of the West, could become a strong nation, with the ease of a turn of the palm, if they would but act their heart to the task. It was prophesied by those who heard these sympathetic worda: "Given the opportunity, this man wil easily bring about cordial re- lationship with China.","
