Some of the home papers--and among them noticeably the Standard-have been Induced to support the restrictive views of the Queenslanders with regard to Chinese Immigrants into that Colony. It is set forth that, the result must be that the place English and in fact the stock argumente which have been used on the subject in America have been repeated in our Co lonies. It is, however, quite sure that a Chiraman cannot compete with a European except under conditions in which the Chinaman is specially wanted--and if those conditions exist it is clearly to the advantage of all that the Chinaman should not be noedlessly thrust away. It would certainly be more advantageous that there should be good development ssy of Cotton planta- tions in North Australia by the aid of Chi- nese than that the Colony should go without the Chinaman but also without the Cotton. I imagine that very strong pressure must be brought upon Sir Arthur Kennedy by the local Legislature, otherwise his liberal Instinots would make him indisposed to support the retrogressive ideas of the cofonista.
The Anti-Oplum Society are still as active and useful as ever. They have come out in the Friend this month with the text of the Chefoo Convention with a black border round the clause relating to Oplum. Whether this lagabrious sign is to be taken As indicating the approaching death of the Convention, the Oplum trade or of the Anti-Oplum Society is not very clear; but It seems evident that something terrible is to happen, and Lord Derby is warned of the dreadful effects on oplum of ratifying the Convention and on the British name for good faith of refusing to do so. As yet nothing more has come out as to what the Government intend to do in this matter.

On the arrival of the steamer Dragon at Vladivostock, about a fortnight ago, the master reported that during the voyage from Nagasaki to that port, the chief engineer was missing; and it was supposed that he had jumped overbeard. An enquiry was held on the Dragon arriving at Hakodate, there being no English Consul at Vladivostock and from the statements of the master and the owner it was concluded that the man jumped overboard while in a condition of temporary insanity.

Mr Hayllar then addressed the Court. Mr Hayllar then addressed the Court on behalf of Messrs Hernsheim, who he said were trading among the Pacific Islands, and wanted a small steamer for the purpose of their business, one that would sail as well as steam, and with a light draft. 4 false keel was wanted to her so that if she struck by accident on a coral reef, the proper keel being copper-covered, would be protected. Mr Hernsheim invited tenders and one was sent in by Captain Sands. It was rejected. Specifications were then drawn up by Capt. Cairus, which were then handed to Mr Cook. A tander was also sent in by the Hongkong and Whampoa Doak Company, and was the same as Captain Bande' second tender, but the Dock Company required six months to do the work in, while Captain Bands under took to do the work in Äre months. A time was a great consideration with lir Hernsheim, who wanted the vessel to meet the season, he accepted Captain Bande tender, and a contract was entered into ssipfisting a penalty of 340 far every day's delay.
