It is very un- hecoming; it is unworthy of a public print to do so: it is taking an advantage of the CHEMISTS, DRUGGISTs semi-public position you occupy to work out your own private ends, and nothing is worse than that. You must be silent in your own newspapers. If you must write about each other, send your letters to other newspapers, and then others will [431 exercise their judgment as to whether these things are of sufficient importance to the public to merit their insertion. That is a thing you cannot judge of yourselves; you cannot be judge of your own case, or of its importance to the world. There is no greater mistake than for you to be your own judges. I am led to make these remarks, because I feel that if the first letter had not been written, and it would not have. been published except for the facilities that the writer had for publishing it, there would have been no rejoinder, and the case would not have ended here in the Police Court.

SIR-1 would crave the liberty of, writing a few lines respecting a portion of the finding of the Marine Court yesterday in regard to the re- cent wreck of the steamer Hongkong. In the finding occurs the following two paragrapha:-

"We find that the chart by which the.Hong kong was navigated (Admiralty 1985 corrected to January 1879) had not this rock marked on it."
