tinguished circle at dinner last evening, at their residence,

THE GOVERNOLSHIP OF HONG KONG.—.-Sir J.
Bowring's functions as Superintendent of Trade having
been merged in those of the Minister lately appointed to
Pekin, his Excellency will cease to hold the unpaid office of
Governor of Hong Kong, hitherto held in conjunctien with
that of Plenipotentiary and Superintendent of Trade, in
China. The principal officer at Hong Kong will therefore
for the future discharge solely theduties of Governor of that
colony. The first Governor of Hong Kong under the new
astern will be Mr. Hercules Robinson, at present Lieutenant-
Governor of St. Christopher's, who distinguished himself
by his official exertions in Ireland both during and after
the famine, and whose services were rewarded by the bar-
ren appointment of a West Indian Governorship in 1854.
He is now transferred to a position where his administrative
talents will have a wider field of usefulness.
