EXTRACT FROM "CHINA MAIL," Saturday, 25th September, 1869.

The Honble. HUGH BOLD GIBB here rose and said I would wish, Your Excellency, before proceeding further to business, to refer to some articles that have lately appeared in a portion of the public press and to express, on behalf of my brother non-official members as well as myself, our great regret that attacks of so personal a nature should have been made upon Your Excellency. While wishing to see free and full discussion upon the Estimates or other public matters, we cannot too strongly deprecate the abusive personal attacks which have lately characterized many of the writings of the Press, and would beg to assure Your Excellency that we do not in any way share in the opinions set forth in the articles alluded to.
