-WeE have more than once rémarked that public action in Hongkong is peculiarly spasmadic. Tt is like that of a man who is passing a few honrs beneath the dila- pidated voot of an indifferent inn away
from the. usual ‘track of visitors. The -
storm may howl and the wind and rain
enter through every eveck and cranny, :
but so long-as he. gan: keep bis bed. from, being actually flooded, he’ does'nt think it worth while to get up and aftempt to stop thé holes.” “T shull be gone, in a few hours” is his mental exclamation, aud
he turns tu'sleep as he best may. It is.
none of his business -to. fepait damages for the benetit of those who, are to come after him, and he judges patience to be . were protitable thau labour. . And ifthe

gence of any published information we ‘can come to no-6ther conclusion than that nothing has been done. = There is one point to which we would ‘however direct the’ special attention of the competent, authorities when they sce fit to commence action; and itis not. merely necessary, that; they sould frame regulations, but that “those regulations should be. promulgated as widely as pos- ‘able; particularly amongst ‘the’ native ulation. We'refer to the organization of the police for the protéction and sal- vage of property in houses in the imme- diate vicinity of a'fire, There is seldom Jack. of willing hands to man an engine, of troops to form a competent “cordon around any given area, or of courageous ‘men to point. hoses and take, if need be, those dangerous ‘posts which lie in the vicinity of tottering walls’. oi - blazing yerandalig, . In both the vecent fires the ratest want—next to that of water and drants —has. heen. somé organization, some pian, to sappress. the disorderly "hurtying tovand fro of ‘honest natives whose goods, were in danger, and. of soundrelly rascals, who, under preterice of helping, were present -only to’ stenl, Weel suggest (and our suggestions int rather to the general idea enter- “tained of: what. is- wanted than to the details of how it. should’ he ‘carried out) that the native population bi extensively warned in the Gazette, and by means of _ prflamations posted in conspicuous places, that immediately -ot -the out- break. of a 4 the’ owner, ‘master or- occtipant of every shop - distant, ‘py six, or any given number, of ‘houses from the building actually. on fire, are reuired to station ‘themsélves at the pub- ‘lic doors -of their: tenements, there to . await the arrival of the police, which is seldoprso Jong delayed that the fire has got mich beyond the spot of its original outbreak, The Deputy Seperintendentsor other. officials, accompanied by strong parties of police, might, immediately on arrival at the seat of the fire, pass along the thoroughfares leading to the house in flamesand’ station“ons man in front of every two or three houses, who would.in a ~ genset take charge” of them after iden- tifying: the ‘owner or tenant, and any - ‘eooliva: carrying. away goods: would pass “by his. permission after he - had -sa- tisied: himself that they were. actually cemployed by the owner, Much confu- “sion would ‘be avoided. by these ineans, especially if he. disarmed the foolish idiots who rush about’ with swords admirably - adapted for putting people's eyes out but almost useless: for defensive purposes. “We do not say that such an arrangement would obviate all the confusion’ necessa- | vily exhibited" at times of fire, “But it | would do much to that ‘desivablé end, There would at: least’ be: one Ewropeau in the vicinity of each house, for some little distance around the- scene of con- flagration, who would be able-to prevent the arrest of innoceit nen by misdivect- “ed zeal and to* suppress any. atterapts at thieving, especially as he would have the cordial Seat of by-standing Euro- -peans in any réquest he might.maky.

We have’now before us a collection of Hongkoug views’ to: which we-purpose, (as on. ‘x former occasion), drawiug. public attention, For ébvivus reasons we refrain from drawing comparisons . between the works of two Artista, each of whom have ‘earned. no sniall loval reputation in the exercise of their: profession.

A brief account of the ‘discovery bf a murder perpetrated’ near Omega Landing on the Mississippi River, has already been published,: The following details are from the Vicksburgh Times of the 22nd Aprit’:—
Four negroes are supposed to-be impli- cated in the matter, Two, who are yet at liberty, planned the murder, and two were burned at the stake who executed the act. The two. arrested wore taken’ singly ; ‘the first one acknowledging his guilt at once, and informing on bis accomplice, :

The negroes wore waiting-until he disposed | of aud received. the money for a lotof wood he had piled out on the river bank and ready for sale, On the- 1th instant a passing boat Janded and took the, wood.

At thé door of the house they met Keenan’s wife, and in'an insolent and threatening maunor dematided something to'eat.

Dhere was nothing for it but to consent to his.‘proposition without any demur, -and content themselves with the prospect. of ‘being eaten-up man by.man. my -- Byery morning the: drum beat, and the inhabitants of the village assombled to draw, lots which should take to the dragon the one egg-and himself. .-Everything was to be done in a just-and orderly manner, no one, chowever high in station, was to be free from | this dreadful tax, — “ - But one day the whole of the. town was “| plunged into grief when it’ was aunouuced the lot had been drawn by the king’s only . daughter, a beautiful young girl. The king “| and the queen wrung their bands, arid all the people wept ‘for ‘her: sad fate ; but still thera was not one. who offered to meet death ‘in her placo; that would have been an “affront to the gods. *-~ a : Nevertheless, it was written in the Book of Fate that the princess was not to become _ idragoii food ; for when she, with her parents | ‘und friends, all the authorities and the great '” people of the place, were proceeding along the road to the -dragon’s cave, they met a handsome, gallant-looking young: knight; wvith.s bold and fearlesscountenance. This “waa Sir George, :When he saw their dis- tress, he asked ‘what. was. the matter, and “being told the cauao of their sorrow, he bade them be of good cheer, spurred his horse forward, and plinged his lance through the “dragon’s body, : This daring deed and hap- ayent: naturally caused great rejoicing, ie knight was received with great honor at Biles :'ho dariced, with. the princes at the vevela held in the evening, and married her after, gotting half the kingdom asher dowry, _ “Whien at length he died, he was promoted to a.place among the saints, = “Phis story is exceedingly. old,.so old that ~ there is even somé doubt of its truth. How- “ver, itisa recognized tradition everywhere, and there are many place’ besides Libya which gre-daid t» have baen the scene of the valiant St, George's encounter with. the ‘dragon, Several of our good burghers in- sist that the feat actually. took place near their respective: towna: so that- by. their accounts, there must have been a great “many, ‘dragons, killed’ by ‘a. great many
knights Acct eaet hres _ The fact probably is. that St, George was --@ popular saint in the middle ages, and here
jn Denmark bis name. ia kept in general yemembrauce. by the use made of it. In ‘reference, ‘no doubt, to the dragon’s poi- sonous breath,-almost all: the hopitals and; and infirmaries in the country -have been dedicated to this conqueror. : This is scarce- ly 9 country town which las not its. St. George's hospital, or hall, or street, wherein the remembrance of the saintly knight is preserved. Tt is also handed dawn to us “In. churches, in many: of which therejare statues, mostly curved in wood, and repre-
. prexeiiting his ight with the dragon. + ». Such a group, doubtless one of the best » and most distinguished of its. age, both. as regards the conception and the exeetition, is ‘fn. the Museum of Northern Antiquities in Copenhagen 5 -it came. from Husum, aud is very spirited indeed. .. {n the same museum ja ‘another statue. of St. George and the “Dragon, ‘but itis mtich inferior to the one -. first. mentioned, whoga , workmanship. is ‘ascribed to the celebrated sculptor in wood, “flans -Bruggermann, who waa born at Hu- sum, and lived at the commencement of the sixteenth century; it was the. same artist'who carved the much-adwired altar in- the cathedral: of Schleswick, a work of art Which ‘has :not been equalled by the “goulptors of any age, This altar, upon which Bruggemann worked for seven years, ‘was executed by him for the church of the :-+ Monastery of Bordeshelm ; from thence it was removed after a time to Schleswick, and the story goes that the. selfish and cruel “monks there, a8 soon’as they obtained it, deprived the. artist of: aight, in order that no other church should be able to boast.of possessing any equally valuable work of his, St. George is now, therefore, fast fading from remembrance ;-it is trae that he lives ‘ap the ‘tutelary saint of England, but bis popularity is, ‘nevertheless, on. the wane, and. no. iron-manufacturer - now-a-days . thinks, of: adorning -his stoves with: the saint’s-inage.

Then the dragon begins to come nearer, the ‘hero rides’ forward to meet him, and «plunges his lance deep inte his throat. Now the ‘most. effectual scene takes plice, for in the “dragon’s mouth: there’ is concealed a bladder which is. filled with blood, and it. is not alwayy easy to hit upon it; dragon’s
blood must flow, wid yvoe betide the knight’
if.be misses the bladder ! he is greeted with the’ most fearful ridicule and scorn.
“But most: frequently the-blood streams from the mouth, the knight draws bis sword avd strikes it manfully_ on_the-monster’s head.’ ‘At Jength ho fires a pistol, and with this finishes the ceremony.

THE SONGS. OF THE STREET, (From Lchoes.from the Clubs,)
Perhaps a slight apology is needed for in--
troducing so vulgar a subject to the readers of Echoes. Uf 80, it is tobe found in the title of Victor Hugo’s last-publisbed vo- lume of poems. Since the author. of the Roi s'amuse” and the “ Burgraves” hea deigned to write the -‘ Chansons des Rues “et des Bois,” it is surely no derogation to apeak of them here, . Besides, famous men in all ages. have written for the stréot-and the people. Indeed, it is hard to commence an article on the effusions: of the humbler Burnees and Berangors of the present day without a: reference to tho oft-quoted’ re- mark ‘of Fletcher of Saltoun ; one: of those happy quotable sayings that do-more to- wards. securiug poptlar fame for a man than a dozen written yolumtes would do: Had
Fietcher’s aspirations been gratified to the:
extent which he, desired, our ears would probably |have been greeted by strains more elevated tin -sentiment: than these which now. salute them at. every street. corper. is remark shows him to have been a gen tleman of laudable ambition ‘and correct
taste, some. portion of which ‘latter feeling,
might have been transmitted, like the ‘man- tle of the prophet Elijah, to-his suecessors.
These-songs generally enanatée from the various Music Halls, and their leading fea- ture is their autobiographical and narra- tive character. : Whether they refer to some fair being of the gentler: sex, or contain an account of the,pupposed social’ position of the singer, the songs which become popular aro mostly:iu the first person . The singer may “be either a Bowling Swell, a Jolly Dog; Costermonger Joe, Champagne Charley the self-denying Joseph,. or the. Chickaloary Cove, and as much confine himself to a ge- neral sketch of his’ mode of living, or he may,. as the Mousetrap Man or the Broken- hearted Shepherd geplore the faithlessness of the object of. hia: affections... The cruel conduct-of. the aforesaid object is continual- ly dinned into the eara.
