measure having for its sole object the entire repression of that crine which secret gambling houses are supposed to foster. But, although we have nude such an admission, carefully based upon the assumption that the government re mains firm in its determination to "license. without deriving an (appreciable) reve ane," as directed by the Duke of Buck" ingham, we were unprepared to learn that the gentlemen who moved the previous resolutions in the Chamber from motives widely differing from those which prompt our own opposition, had abandoned more than half of their posi

tion.

As regards the question of liceusel gambling being discountenanced by every respectable" government, no softening of words will after the fact. If the Bri- tish Government gives it countenance, it will in this matter be guilty of conduct which is not respectable. We need not trouble ourselves about other govern- ments which do so, as bot too many other matters in connection with them justify such a reprehensive expression, irrespec tive of their encouragement of gambling. Mr Bosman's sympathy for the Por tugues Government was touching, but failed to elicit that hearty support which he expected-doubtless from British je lousy of Macao. We trust that it will aub indict the entire Chamber for thus, by implication, having pronounced the Portognese Government as "not respect- able,"

Asour half-past two this afternoon, a signal denoting that a steamer was in sight (dis taut 8 miles) was exhibited at the Eastern yard-arm of the Poak flagstaff.
