It is not, however, our desire to analyse too critically Mr Grote's explanation, and pre suming that it was his rail intention to ropudlate our remarks, we gladly accept the correction at his hands, and even if it be any satisfaction to him personally, express our regrot for dragging his name into the light in connection with transactions which were ourrently reported with vironmstantial details here, but which we a10% know, on the anthority of the Board of Direcators of the Bank, never actually took place."
For indead, as must have been obvious to any unbiassed ronder, the case or supposed case, was only used to point a moral, anil for Mr. Grote himself we expressed epmpathy no lens siure and probably more discriminating than that of the Ton.

Resorting to the common Aeries of men, and more especially women, who are beggars for an argement, he attributes our obarvations to "aatipathy to kas bank.

We say appeare," because it is not easy to say for certain what Mr. Ryrie repudiates and what he justifica. The genoral offest, however, is a ealogiam on the way of the Hongkong share market, and we entirely agree with Mr. Byris that Bch a market is vonducire to the prosperity of the colony in affording inducement to investors in joint-stosk enterprises. But if the Hon. Mr. Byrio intended to stretch his gis over another lasy of operations-the only ones as it happens which were in question-he was paying the co- lany a left-handed compliment; for it the pro- sperity of Hongkong doponds in say degree on the partionlar form of share gambling which bag been so notorious on the China coast, it can only mean that Hongkong is able to lay tho China ports urder tribute; for no amount of ex- change brokers' memos in Queen's Road will ever produs a single dollar. There is a perfectly clear distinction, which the Hon. Mr. Ryrie knows better than we, hatwean trading and gam hting.

The essence of the whole discussion, how!
volatile as perhaps to escape the notice of many reades, is the implicit con- demnation of the practicas which we have commented on which is enntained in the speeches of the Chaireau and the auditor. The imputations-leclared by the highest authority of the Bank as enthedra to be entirely unfound- ad, and therefore we bave the greatest plaastre in retracting them-were of a very milk-and- water character compared with what might have been said about some former transactions, yet even that mild and bassless charge hurts Mr. Grate o much that he esla it" scandalous," while Mr. Byrio obaracterises it as "moestrces" and "- warrantable"
We have now therefore at last got an authentic i standard by which to judge the aberrations of baut voters. We know what is thought of where gambling in the inner circle, and now that the conspiracy of silence has been broken we may perhaps fallcitate the shareholders on the probable non-reencrence of violent, arbitrary, and improper perturbations in the value of their property for which their own directors have in former-yests been so largely responsible.
