THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, WEDNESDAY,

(sic.) censor of the Portuguese community of Hongkong by continually, and regard- less of truth, filling Its columns with vile and contemptuous articles concerning the Portuguese. The last slander cast on them by that paper, as far as I know, is the article reproduced by the Garit on 11th instant referring to a case of forgery committed lately in Manila by a man named JoRox, a Spanish subject and of Spanish descendants. As a coincidence, however, a fault (sic.) of embezzlement was committed in Hongkong by a Portuguese youth bearing also the name of Joxox. This fact seemed to the editor of the Telegraph a propitious opportunity for blackguarding the Portuguese, so with utter disregard for truth and other principles, he ridiculously asserted the nationality of the Manila culprit to be Portuguese! In obedience to every dictate of justice, the Telegraph should have first investigated the matter before inserting articles that only Nos. 22 & 24, QUEEN'S ROAD CENTRAL.

IT is quite on the cards that Hongkong may be visited during the Autumn by Miss Gracie Plaisted and a combination of operatic and dramatic talent known as the "My Sweetheart" Company. As there are fire full-fledged ladies in the company, their success in Hongkong, especially after such a salts-and-senna experience assured. Miss Plaisted, with the sole exception as the Stanley crowd, may, safely be taken Be of Emilie Melville, is probably the best opera bouffe artiste that has ever visited either the Australasian colonies or the Far East, and as her husband, Mr. Charles Harding, is a robust tenor of high class, the Hongkong public, so wofully disappointed by the "leg" exhibitions which have been the leading features of late professional visitors, may with confidence look forward to a musical treat. Miss Plaisted's company, by latest advices, were playing in Penang, and they contemplate, after a season in Singapore, coming on to Hongkong, Shanghai and Japan.
