Mr. Meade

The Hongkong Telegraph has not been sent with the other Colonial Papers since 30th Oct last; apparently they cannot trust us to see the slanders against the Government, lest perchance we should believe some of them. They agree with Mr. Price that it is wrong to give "pecuniary support" to such a paper.

It is a great pity that Mr. Price brought this matter forward, probably due to a report of the Correspondent. We shall doubtless hear more of it as soon as it is read.

Of course Lord Derby only intended that serious charges made by a Newspaper, whatever its character, should be inquired into.
