Dr. Ho Kai's attempt to obtain the open recognition of conctbinage failed, as it cer- tainly deserred to do, and we are defo uished that the other unoficial members, belonging as they do to a civilised nation that holds such customs in abhorrance, should have given him the least support. They can only have done so because they did not see olearly the issues involved. And this, we think, is borne out by the attitude" taken by Mr MacEwen. He had undoubt edly the best of the argument with Mr Deate. The proclamation of Capt. Elliot

distinctly sets forth that the inhabitants are seared in the free exercise of their re- ligious rites, ceremonies atxt social customs.
