Commerce respecting the recent doen. ment which emanated from His Excel- lency the Governor in regard to the gambling farm. There are times when insult is best net by silence, and it may that the Chamber deer themselves placed in so strong a position by the mere publication of His Excellency Bre ply, that they consider any further cor-

pondence as availing as is certainly. is unnecessary. They are placed in a somewhat awkward position as, if they at- tempt to point out the peculiarities of that singular composition, respect, to say nothing of the law, prohibits them from "slanging back." To express a hope that His Excellency's public despatches. and private correspondence. "are not al- ways cunducted on a system which has no better foundation" than the glaring aisquotations, the undignified "chui". and the total absence of reasoning power which distinguish the docu- ment," might verge on the impertinent, and we should be the first to condemn language which, however justifiable, was disrespectful to the local representative of Government. In common fairness, however, to a body of gentlemen whose opinions weigh tauch regarding colonial matters, it behevos ns as journalists to point out to home realers the cogent reasons which, we venture to surmise have hitherto induced the Chamber to main in silence under imputations which are devoid of foundation.

read without the proverbially large allowance of salt which his previous documents on the same subject have required and received. We, therefore, address ourselves in the very limited space at our disposal to a mine particular examination of this composition than it has hitherto received at our heads, remembering that dr is long and time is fleeting." We are able, however, to deal but briefly with the more pro- minent heads of the despatch.

Before taking the paragraphs seriatim we would observe that no refutation whatever has boen advanced by His Excellency of any assertion made by, or in, the Chamber; and the senteres which leads up to the quite uncalled for announcement that their opinions exil for a public refutation"(uncalled-for because unfulfilled) implies an insult to that body which has been duly appre diated and resented. The title of the Chaniber is respectable," quoth His Excellency It feels grateful for the implied deduction, which, however insult ing might have been pardonable, had any presumption in its favor b.e advanced. As it now stands, it is simply an unwise and undignified way of being clumsily arcastic. In the matter of misquotations we have an abundant crup, but the most obvious to the least careful realer is His

72 pieces and 10 packages Wood Ware. Excellency's statement that "One geti

tleman bilcod asserted that Trade to his knowledge had fallen off 23 per cent.' do. But a reference to the published report of the Chamber, and upon which H. E.'s despatch is founded, shews that Air Hitchcock, the gentleman in ques tion, said no such thing. He said that w native merchant had said that trade had in any cases fallon off by 25 per cent"-quite in different statement. It la very bad to tell "fibs" in despatclies not peant for the public eye. But it is very foolish to tell them when all the world Is an opportunity of disproving them a few hours after they appear.
