formed that foreign seamen are being largely replaced by the less efficient but steadier natives of China in the manning of European vessels; and the European sailor has his emphatic grow upon the subject. The result is not an una&tural consequence of the unreliable character of a great proportion of the foreign sailors that and their way to this part
of
the world. Itis, we believe, not per mitted to a ship-master in this Colony to discharge a Europeas crew and re- place it with an heistic ship's company; but so soon as a captain, who desires to get rid of his Europeans arrives at one of the Treaty Ports, he appears to have no great trouble in effecting the desired object. Foreign sailors in con- siderable numbers therefore find their way to this Colony from the Treaty Porta at which they are discharged; and although we do not say that the seamen do not receive fair treatment enough, the result so far as Hongkong is concerned is much the same as if they did not. Although it may be fairly alleged that no one has a right to pre- vent a seaman from agreeing to take his discharge, if he chooses to do so, it seems desirable that some, check should be placed upon the indiscriminate prac

There is, so far as we can learn, a judicious, discretionary system in existence at the Harbour Office here, whereby shipmasters are prevented, in certain conditions, from discharging {mon. It seems to us that some ex- tension of a similar check to the Treaty Ports would prove a boon to Jack himself (if not to ship- owners), and would certainly deliver this Colony from much of its present dithculties as regards seamen unem ployed." It is a pity that some steps could not be taken to apprise respectable seamen of the consequences of taking their discharge in a place so for away from Home at times when employment is scarce, as much loss and discomfort might frequently be in this way avoided. There is of course a per-centage of ne'er-do-weel" loafers that will always be present in the consideration of a question like the present; but it is the steadier class of men to whom we now more particularly for men who have wives and families at Home and who- may cone, out and agree to take their discharge here on the supposition that they can do better for themselves in this Passamokra arriving in Hongkong, or any part of the world.
