There was a general meeting of the Hukuang Missionary Association yesterday which ended the business of those "Regulations" which have been brought to the notice of your readers by some of your correspondents.
The total number of votes "For" the resolutions had amounted to 95—thero were still only 6 against. and 4 others who would only vote "For" on condition that they were amended. The particular amendment desired was proposed and was accopted by 9 votes to 5. That will however reduce the numbers "For," as a small minority will not add their names as subscribing to the Regulations now that they fare amended, Still, the 4 conditional votes fare captured and also 2 at. least of the negative votes.
The Governor as Acting Viceroy has recently issued the China Missionary Association Regulations in proclamation form. The Hukuang Association has particularly requested that this shall not be done with its documents. The matter, it is fait, is hotter dealt. with quietly, as a proclamation on such subjects is easily misunderstood.
