"The return by Mr. Francis Q.C., of Hong- kong, of the gift of what he called a ' paltry Ink stand," though Governor Robinson would fala term it a handsome sliver Inkatand," has excited some severe strictuses outside of that colony. Of all the animadversion cast upon the bead of the sturdy Q.C. for arrant vilcocas and laane stopidity, a local hyb:ld sheet undoubtedly takas. the palm, [This relers to the Siam Oburver.] Ned the feared leader of the Hongkong Bar be told by » pour flitle scribbler of Bangkok that by the publication of his letter dec'isfag the paltry gfit he has put it absolutely out of the power of Her Majesty, ever to grant bim the bancunf 1 C,M.G -ship? By randeilog him elf so supremely disagreable to the Hong- kong Government, does it follow that Mr. Francis Is hankering after the coveted bonour We have never yet herrl that the out-spoken and festires ornament of the Hongkong Bir hat ever bern scared of being mercenary, and his wṣrst enemies would perhaps be chary of charglo'g Mr. Francis with the commission of that sin. But such a charge coming from a notoriously mer- cenary quarter, as it does, to too ludicrous to marit serious notice. But it may satd that Mr. Francie was, for once, particularly happy in the chulse of the weapon be has wielded in his attack on the government. Mr. Francia la, however, too gifted a dip'orallat to think that the line of conduct he has chosen to follow could bave any other effect than that of #burning the bridge behind him to any return tothe governmental fold. If Mr. Francis has ever had any real desire to be created a · Colaniel Mada Gentleman, he would have proceeded In qalte another way, and we make bold to say that he would have obtined the dial-erton in spite of the Governor of Hongkong. The lofluence of the Cathoiles in that Colony, which has already been exercised several time to the great indignu tion of the Governor of Hongkong, notably in the case of these seven innocent Chinese whom Governor of Hongkong carelessly ordered to be banded over to cruel and lingering death, at the bands of the Chinese authorities-would not fall in the case of a man who has laboured so much for the church as Mr. Franefs haa always done. The presentation of inkstanda, pality or valuable as the case may be, is all very well at mission reunions, "sud schon! feasts, but it is a Male infra dignitatem for a gryenment to dole out such a charity school
