A writer in the Porvir, a small Portu- guese periodical published in Hongkong, goes to the trouble of pulling to places the lecture lately delivered by Mr. J. J. FRANCIS, Q.Ci, on VASCO DA GAMA. That was only to be expected; the British like to recognise merit, where there is any, and If they try to give foreigners too much attention they are bound to be abused for our pains. It is all the thanks they get for giving a free advertisement to a nation that used to produce great men.
