HONGKONG, SATURDAY, MAY 9, 1868. TASKE are two articles in anotlier column that are worth reading, inasmuch as they ere copied from Mr Marrow's London pa per, and were written by him. Que relates to the gunbling licenses, and the other to the Hongkong Association in London. Fancy the Hongkong petition, for the compilation of which some of us have paid $5 each, being pronounced "scurci- lous" by our home advocates! That is unjust. It is not "scurrilous;" it is only injiliciously conceived, and weakly expressed. There is nothing in the no-
of scurrility in it. The Herald has better grounds for its "marvel" that the Presu (Mr Marrow's old paper has lent itself to the support of gambling".
