Of course a part of tho address is devoted to the Protected Native States. Governor Smith speaks of their increasing pro- sperity. In no other part of the world, be says, has such rapid development of a solid and permanent kind takon place in so fow years. This is a great testimony of the benefit derived from the scourity of life and property which the protection of England brings to nativo states. The latest addition tothe number of Protected States is Pahang, which has hitherto bean a most ill-governed state. The Governor of the Straits Settle- wents is confident that the ebange will bo the beginning of a new era in the history of Pahang-the most favoured by Nature in its mineral cod agricultural resources of all the States in the Malay Peniraulo-and 'will prova one of undeniable benefit, to the natives of the country, and largely tond to increase the proapority and commercial importance of this Colony.' The Governor of the Straits concluden his address by alluding to the increasing responsibility which the extension of the Protected Native States has thrown on him. Formerly his Government exercised control over 14,000 aquare miles, now they have the supervisionThe of 24,000 square miles, that is of a country
