nonymous letter which appeared in the China Mall, over the signa- ture of "A Resident."

We are surprised, however, hów any boarding master should have the temerity to state in print as "A Resident has done. "that every honest, sallor who is willing to work can procure, maintenance at a boarding house until he can obtain a ship." Apart from what Mr. Jones has stated in nat con- tradiction to this, (which of itself is sufficient to settle the point) we know that numbers of sailors now here are begging for bread, and are willing to work for their food without wages. Some have shipped to England for one shi ling a month, and there are many remaining wno envy their luck into getting it.

We think it should have at least four acres of ground about it, properly laid out, affording Jack room for his strength and space for his 11- berty. We do not think it should be very near the town. One mile from the Harbour Master's would be quite near enough. Every pos- sible indulgence should be allowed and the salfor's money should be his own. If any attempts be made treat him as a child, the scheme must fall.
