Mr Duddell then complained that too short a time was allowed for consideration; ko had not seen the drafta before he came to the mooling; and on a former occasion the residents had been naked in the same way to put their name to a Alomorial which he bad done with considerable reluctanos. This led to a good deal of conversation, ending in proposal to adjours the meeting till a future day. It was explained that there drafts were merely drawn up to be submitted to the meeting for their approval or amendment,

A LITTLE before noon to-day (Tuesday) a Na, tive Indian Servant on his way to the Gar. den at West Point for somn flowers for his em- ployer was attacked by three Chinese, near

the hands of a liberal Executive.

The 8th clause of the draf petition reads, *Your Brillioners canost too strongly express thest conviction of the bad moral affect produced on the mlede of the Chinese by the present system adopted in the Supreme Court, whereby the ends of justies are too often frustrated, and parties oorking redraw are obliged to call in the assistance, in Civil enito, of Attorneys, whose charge are excessive, but whose servicm aro ?rindared dreessary by forme which none but an Attornay under-

alanda ; wheresa these, in the opinion of Your Petitian. ere, should be so simple as to wimit of any one pleading

his own cause."

Parties on the spot will understand that this refore especially to the expenses of litigation in Hongkong, and to the heavy bills of costs which have been run up against Chinese suitors, who ignorant of our laws and acting upon bad ad- vice, have rushed into litigation when they had no chance of success. But to others the fan

Furius wrong in the court itself; such an opinion is tely Mr Cameron of the Royal Engineer Dupar-foreign to the gentlemen who drow up the tment was passing with a capital dog which fastened on one of the rascals; he was captured and lodged at the Central Police Station.

We might avail ourselves of the publication of the drails to descant at greater longth on the matters to which they refor; but this appears in a great degree uncebessary, as we feel en isfied that our readers will think over them calmly. There certainly is a general desire that these documents should embody the opinions antertained by a majority of the European inha- bitants of Hongkong.

We have much pleasure in publishing the subjoin ed Circalar from the Contul at Amoy. The Con- sut has apparently found that his former restrictions ware unnecessary, and much to his credit has not only withdrawn them, but arramped with the Hau- kwan to dispense with shipping off and landing chops akogether:—

expenses In 1843 the population of Antigua wan 36,400, the gross amount of revenuo raised wan ?32,900, or at the rate of 18 td per hand; the neighbouring Island of Barbadds with a population of 199,200 yielded a revenue of ?57,000, or De Sa 205 189

per head, but wore the British government to saddle 6,198 3

Auligue with the Barbada establishment, the rate would be raised to upwards of 32 per hood, an a- mount which the colony could not bear. This is precisely what has been done in Hongkong, with a population less than that of Antigua we have an ex- penditure greater than Barbados; to pay which the fired population (Chinese included) would require to be taxed at the rate of ?4 a band, a burden which is not borne by any British possession, nor could the rerourced of any colony support it.

Many of our readers have probably been ignorant of the existence of " the Journal of the Indian Archipelago," and our duty of directing observation to it has been too long neglected our present notice is purposely brief, in order to give an extract from the prospectus, where the design of the work is fully disclosed :-

Tus attention which, for some time past, has been attracted to the Indian Archipelage recent approximation to Europe by the ment of steam communication, encourage the hope that the time bas now arrived when a Journal de E-voted to this region may meet with readers. After the period when the writings of Me ManaDEN, Sir T. 8.

and at Macao than it does at Com sing-moon, but much is undoubtedly the fact, and because is readily explained. Foreign merchants in Canton only sell opium deliverable in the outer waters that is at Cum-sing-moon, Macao or Hongkong. the buyers pay the money in ad- vance and receive orders for the drug, which is delivered at the place named on presenta tinn of the orders. It is needless to say that these purchases are made with the full intention of snuggling the opium into China, and that Cum-sing-moon possamos peculiar advantages for this sort of traffic with the Canton river. Re- cently, however, a rigid blockade has been es- tablished by the Mandarins, and the smuggling boats are only allowed to pass on payment of a fee (or duty) of 650 a chest, and in conse- quence the market value of opium at the ropean settlements, where the trade is free and unletiered, is usually $10 a cheat above the Com-sing-moon rate.

We have repeatedly expressed an opinion that ultimately thin colnay will be the seat of a large trade in opiums, both no regards the ex- tensive purchases of the professional Chinese contrabandistas and the moderate dealings of the Junk traders. To's considerable extent this opinion luss been verified, and if no “un- toward affair" intimidates the Chinese, at no distant day the whole or nearly the whole of the Cum-sing-moon trade will be concentrated

In 1844 a pair of lawwy owls roured and ushered into the world thres hopeful young after having fod them assiduously upon the trees for many works after they bad loft the nest. The food must often have consisted in grant part of worka, snails, and sluge, for the old birds brought it every minste from the ground in the inmediata vicinity of the treas where the young were percbed. This, how- ever, might only be considered as a what to their appetites before dinner; for the parents made re- pasted and persevering attacks upon three or four magpis natis sometimes during half an hour at a time As the defence was spirited and gallat, they were often repulsed ; but, finally, I found die remains of young magpies under the favourite parch of the young uwli, sad one morning the bloody hand and feathers of the old magpie, con spicuods from its size and the want of any cerone skin about the book. This, then, I thought, must have been taken when mosting. In, 1845 the vid owls alone were seen, and they passed the summer in sodato retirement, and seemed to rest from the labourn of propagation: neither did they molest the magpise. But in 1848 they began to be vary, astive early in the spring, and by the beginning of May again had their young swiata out upon the branches. Walking out about nine clock ona evening, I heard a pertinacious attack going on against a pair of magples that had their nest in the top of a rety tall ayoumore. At last, Instead of the frantic chattering of the poor magpies, one of them began to shriek in agony like hare when caughtio Roose, and it was evident the owl was endeavouring to drag it out-the mother birde-by I rao the head from the entrance of the nest.
