coy, real hard is wrought by this im- munity -- and dat point we shall leave to some of our correspondents who may be more fully cognisant of the actual mote. The system, however, isthorough- ly unsound fem top to bottom--in ita origin and object of supplying the public exchequer, and in the influence which it exercises upon the people. Where such a plan for raising public. funds is adopted, honest industry is bound to suffer, and the harm na cer- ainly reacts upon the State. Of course, the part played by Hongkong in such 16 policy is comparatively trifing; but at the same time it may be well oc- castonally to look closely at the effects of actions which may seem to be al- most entirely barmless. To suggest, at all evcate that this Government should tax the tickets in this State Lottory, instead of forbidding the sale, indicate the Docsity that exists for inquiring into the ex- pediency if not the morality, of yen an indirect excuaragement of. & system wbich bas been shown by his lory to be so use and and baraful.
