THE CHINA MAIL.
HONGKONG, TUESDAY, Aug. 31, 1869; THE Shanghai Recorder, which possesses a felicity of style that is fast winning its way amongst the lower classes of foreign- ers at Shanghai, has had its feathers ruffled by some remarks of ours upon the recent events in Formosa and else where. Somewhat behind hand in its knowledge of local journalism, it speake of the Ching Mail under a title which then loses its cath" in astonishment for two years has had no existence, and
that the Chino Mail should boast of having "consistently from the first sup- ported Mr Gibson and Commander Qur don in Formosa, Commodore Jones. Et Swatow, and the officials involved in the recent operations at Yangchow." The Recorder assumes this to suggest that we meant "alons supported Mr Gibson, &e." and asserts that we are, in the choice language. it uses, cheeky." It further more states that the China Mail cam second fiddle of them all (the China journals) and coolly appropriates what it very well knows is due to others, Such an act is simply dishonest."
These be atrong words." But instead of returning them let us simply stats facts, leaving is to the public to say who best merits the accusations abora

between the language we had held upon British policy, in contradistinction to that of the home journals. Oar home readers might possibly have been inter ested in learning that the Recorder held viewe similar to our own, but as, how. ever admirable as a local paper, we hars not yet beurd of its having achieved a home reputation, it did not strike us that it was necessary to mention that fact for the benefit of the British public,

editorial
In a recent issue we adverted to a traffic in Chinese girls for California which, as our northern contemporaries informed ne, had sprung up in Shanghai, and, in so doing, expressed our surprise that while noting the fact as an item of news, none of the Shanghai journals had seen fit to protest against it. The Express now points out that on the 20th instant the day of the departure of the Co Rice, it did protest against the shipment, and Balds that it does not, like its bot- blooded Southern friend, rush violently at a grievance like a bull at a gate, but prefers the surer, though no less credit- able plan, of being certain of our quarry, before we make our swoop."
