PENANG

Wellesley, 250 feet in length and 50 feet broad at entrance; also a slip for vessels 100 feet long. George Town is built on a plain, at the back of which rises the hill which, as Penangites declare, renders life on the island more enjoyable than in any other part of the Colony. The town possesses few attractions, and the public buildings are mediocre, with the exception of the Government Offices, a fine new block erected in 1889 near the jetty. St. George's Church is an unpretending edifice of 80 years' standing, centrally situated. There is also a Roman Catholic Church and several mission chapels. The census of 1891 gave the total population of Penang and Province Wellesley as 235,618 as compared with 190,597 in 1881. "The population of Penang island was 123,886, that of George Town 85,000, and of Province Wellesley 108,117. The value of the imports in 1892 was $41,421,576 as against $40,341,677 in 1891, and that of exports $43,674,818 as against 841,436,222 in 1891.
