The eighteen hundred odd dollars disbursed during the year is, we should think, but a given by the non-Asiatic community for charitable purposes; but it is evident from the report of the Society that the allotting of this modest sun entailed a good dent of work on the ladies who nadertook the humane task. To do this wisely and conscientiously, says the report, has been their first effort, and their cars has been, whilst seeking to relieve those who possessed the strongest claims, to avoid, as far as pos sible, the great and real danger to which this Society is exposed, namely, that of multiplying applications for relief' In anaking this their firat care, the ladies have certainly showu wisdom; for there cunuot be the slightest doubt that a great deal of what is given in the name of obarity, given generously but care- lessly, is, practically, thrown away. Among the class of pauper wanderers who get stranded on the shores of this colony, those who may be called pro- fessional beachcombers, men who have a constitutional antipathy to labour of any kind and who have lost the last vestige of self-respect, would soon absorb the entire frnds of the Society-literal- ly absorb them, in the convenient form of beer-and no good would result, unless,
