It appears that H. B. the Governor, upon arrival, was approached in order to check or stop the introduction of Chin- ese passengers from Canton tate the Colony: Although rather late in the day, it was deemed advisable to stop all Chinese coming from the City of Ramis, with their plague-stricken induences, to this Colony. An idea was given out that the Celestials were fleeing from Canton to Hongkong; and those who knew not the real tendency of such a policy of exclusion were keen on stop- ping our trade with Canton, For tunately, Sir Wiliam Robinson call- ed in the advice of the Unofficial Members of Council; and the inistake was prevented. It was shown that the influx of passengers, instead of having increased during this month as compared with last, had substantially decreased.
