Act - Amendment Act (Queensland) of last session, which required from Chinese on the goldfields of the colony £8 for a miner's right and £10 for a business license, has not worked satisfactorily, and will not improbably be amended or repealed. The European only pays top shillage per annum for the miner's right, and £3 for the business lioents, and the Chinese were required to pay the higher fees as above stated on the alleged ground that they did not, under the ordinary rates, contribute a fair share to the public revenue. But under the raised fees the revenue from this source has not only not increased, but has dwindled down to an almost nominal amount. For revenue purposes, therefore, the Goldfields Amend ment set is an aoknowledged failure. It is
