With regard to the former, nothing could be more beneficial to as Chines themselves, as well as the West Indies, than this enigration: tot yafortunately the conven- tion of Sir Butleifurd Aloook, though very well intended, inposed conditions so onerous upon the system as to prove ulmaat. A complete of stacle to the ounce of that emigration. Those conditions related to the hiring, the frost ment, and the restoration of those coolies to their country as the termination of a certain period of service. The practical proof of the anecoms of this emigration was the fact that the Chinese who were biohght to the West Indies evea fter expiration of their services, re- mained generally in the West Indies, and many of them entered into fresh indentures after their apprenticeship expired, while others con- tinued to work there na freo labourers, and some, after going back to Chinu to inveat! their savings, retune to prvice in the West Indies. It was only, therefore, to be desired that Sir R. Alcose convention might be as far altered as LO prevent ita being an obstruction to this emigration.

tão coole traffic from the Portuguese settlement of Macro to Cuba and Peru was no dubt fully borne out-reviving many of the barrare of the old African slave trade. But the regula tions of the Portuguese government on tha azuject were rory much the same those which the British government had made in respect to the emigration of coolies from Hong kou. The evil was the want of power on the port of the Fertagneto government to enforce them. The gaming egatom in Hongsong was no doubt to be deplored; but he did not think that the connection said to exist between that system and the emigration of coolies and been extiaracterfly made out He, however, concurred in the desirability of pulsing down those gambling-houses in Hongkong. in the case of the Fiji kidnapping they had one fact before them, namely, the arrival of the kidnap- pek alaves in Queensland, a quiony where the British sularition could enforce the penalties enacted agust such an offence. But when they were dealing with mattera owing under the supervision of the Portuguese government, be did not me what power the British antho. rities had except to make their remonstrances to that friendly power, which appeared as anzi
