MR. PASSMORE AND THE "CHINA MAIL.”

TO THE EDITOR OF the "Hoxazowa Telegramı” Six, I notice a long, scurrilous paragraph in last night's number of the China Afail, headed "The Status of Franch Mail steamers." The contents of that paragraph are on a par with the frivolous genius who sits, as a pedantic monument of editorial enres, and who fills the columns of what I notice is oftentimes described as the "Fishwrapper":

The circumstances of my desiring to leave the colony quietly are only foo true. My detention is most agonisingly depicted in the columns of the "Fishwrapper" and I only sirongly ques tion the propriety, even when there is dearth

of news, to devote a column to kicking a man when he is down.

God, said he in conversation with one of the Princes of his country, is the Universal Principle of Life, he is the fruitful source from which all things have flown. To give to Heaven testi. monials of gratitude is the first duty of man; to show one's self grateful towards ancestors the second. After having satisfied in some sort, their obligations towards God, to whom as to the universal principle of all that exists, they (mankind) werd indebted for their own existence, their hearts turned to those who had transmitted life to them. They fixed in their honor respectful Ceremonies to be as the compli ment of the sacrifice offered solemnly to God. in all which I have just recalled to your majesty, you will comprehend without doubt, that under whatever title one renders the worship, who soever may be the apparent object of it, and of, whatever nature be the external ceremonies it is always to God that one renders it, and it is God who is the object direct, and principle of the

His Excellency replied that it had not, but a. despatch had been sent asking that the decision might be deferred until it arrived. It was a very important question, and required important consideration, but the Surveyor-General had been observations. When he did they would be at once forwarded.

He is the ruler of the intellect, self-existent, pure, perfect, omnis cient and omni-present.

PLATO—420 YEARS B.C. God, as the old tradition declares, holding in his hand the beginning, middle, and end of all that is, moves according to his nature in a straight line towards the accomplishment of his end. Justice always follows him and is the punisher of those who fall short of the divine law. To that law he who would be happy holds fast, and follows it in all humility and order. God provides for all things, the least as well as the greatest; he is the original life and force of all things, in the ethereal regions, upon earth, and under the earth. He is the beginning, the, unity, the good; the same in the world of Intelli- gence, that the sun is in the visible world, God is truth, and Light is his abode.
