Tin question of Chinose Emigration to the Australian Colonios seems destined to follow the fate of that to Honolulu; but if the predilections of the Governor wore only definitely notified one way or other, much dissatisfaction would thereby be avoided. For some eight or ten months back, difi eultius of a more or less irregular and spasmodic nature have been thrown in the way of obtaining a license for shipping Chinese emigrants to Australian ports; and it would scem now that a fresh departure is likely to take place. The victims (if we may say so) in the present case are the agents of the steamer Glamis Castle (Mesara Gibb, Livingston & Co.), which vessel was ready yesterday morning to take her de- parture with some 800 Chinese passengers, We believe that another telogram was re- seived by the Government here, represent- ing that an nousually large number of Cole- stints were coming to Sydney, and asking what sort of people they were; and His Excellency the Governor seems to have thereupon hit upon the large shipment per 11 am.-Anction of Res at godowns of Glamis Cuple upon which to prosecute on
