· THE CHINESỬU QQOLIE TRAFFIC. (Asiatic)
The condition of the emigrants from Chiba,
and the manner in which what is called the coo
fie traffy is conducted, is auquestiouably a sub- jost of national importance. There are few among na win will not appland the motive of Mr. R. N. Fowler fa bringing the question
before the House of Commons. Ho, and tho
mambara who supported bisa, bat eshoed the pinions of the couramity at large when they denounced theatrocities perpstrated in conese-, tion with this rolig traße, and enrried general ayopathy with then when they domanded, at the hands of her Majesty's Government, souie form of interferenes, to exercise at least of an awakened vigilance to the iniquitous practices
which, we know, have for years been common in the trade afgoolie anigration from Muono to South America. Bal, from another peint of view, it is of the atmost importance to us that the tide of emigration from Chian should not be ebacked, but rather increased, for it is al- most the only hope we have in many of our colonies, those in the tropics more especially of solving that great.d flaulty whoh continual ly besala European enterprise-labour. Nor) is this a merelyšelful view of the Chinese coo- lio traffic, as far as England is opaeced; it wont bh, we hold, immensely beneficial to the Chinese, both as individuals uað MA 71 natior, to maintain a atendy eye- tem of amigation. Of course this won hot Mr. Fowler's business to discuss on Friday- night. He stood up as the oblumpion of the paon cooliea, and profpated against their boing inhumanly treated. The bare notion that the horrors of the slve trade, which our forefathers badone so much to extinguish, wers literally being revived, was quite enough to excite the yopathy of the House of Counavus, though it ho feully moit materialist in to composition than was the House which, in his day, Wilber forde was accustomed to hurrangue.
