HER MAJESTY'S JUBILEE

The following accounts of the Shanghai Jubilee have been handed to us for George Jamisson, and we think that the publication by the honorary treasurer, Mr.

subscribers and the public will allow that the sub-committee deserve their thanks for the economy practised throughout, while there was no stinginess displayed; though there are grumblers who say that every cent ought to have been spent, and that it as wrong to have a surplus. as it would have been to have a deficit. It will be seen that there is still a sum of Tls. 522 to be disposed of, after paying the grants of Tls. 50 each to the four hospitals named below, and we understand that a meeting of the general committee is to be held on Friday next to decide on the disposition of that surplus.
