Sir,-Please remove my name from the list of subscribers to your paper.
Your's faithfully,
J. ROSS ANTON. The Proprietor of the Telegraph promptly replied that he would remove Mr. J. Ross Anton's name from the list with the greatest of pleasure. And he did so.
But who is J. Ross Anton, and what does it all mean? Anton is a sort of Scotcu broker who used to run in double harness with Toby " Middleton, of Hongkong Punch days; be it partner or something with Gershom Stewart, one of the Impartial and most honorable special jurors in the Russell-Minblanett alleged thel swindle; be used to live some years ago in College Gardens with our estimabis friend, Mr. J. M Price, late Surveyor General of this colony, and, if we mistake not, also with Judge Russell; but anyhow, Anton was Russell's broker, and it was said that the straight tips, obtained from the Immaculate "T. J. and other high-luded philanthropists, formed the founda tion on which was raised the fortune of four lakhs of dollars which the "good Sir Jamest took away from Hongkang.

Sin-Permit me to offer you my sincere felicitations on your most successful exit from an official career which, it is greatly to be regretted for various cogent reasons, did not terminate years ago.
