previously made by Germanic Statos to obtain a settlement for the purposes of trado, was made during the domination of the Hapsburgs in 1725, when the Ostend Eastern Trading Company was founded by Royal Charter. This "Com- pany had the ill fortune to place its factories as rivals in the centres of trade alwady occupied by the British, French and Datch, instead of opening up fresh ports. The consequence of this ill- judged proceeding was the provocation of great hostility, and on the outbreak of European trouble the Austrian Court yielded to diplomatic pressure and suspended the royal charter previously granted to that Company. For the next sixty years the Company dragged out a weary, feoble existence until in 1797 it was finally extinguished by an Interna- tional arrangement between Britain, Holland, France and Austria. It is refreshing to see, although so late, Ger- many again awaking to a sense of the importance of colonies to any essentially

So well have we performed 'one task that our trans-oceanic empire now mea- sures eight millions of square miles, or more than three times the united area of all other colonies taken together with their mother countries and the United Kingdom. The population of the Bri- tish trans-oceanic Empire, according to the latest return, is conrider-

During the three years 1881 1882 and 1883 the total value of our colonial tradeamounted to £429,601,000, exceeding the total trade of France with all parts of this world during the same period "by` rather more than £4,000,000. Of this amount of trade- nearly oua ball was carried on with the mother country notwithstanding all the influences of distance, convenience, suitability of products and the sharp competition of commorsial rivale operat- ing to reduce it.
