It is indeed hopeless, we fear, for foreign merchants ever to expect the least honesty from the Celestial, and we believe we are correct in saying an, because the fabulous profits they made in the sale of theft teas this season were, we presume, undoubtedly sufficient to gratify their natural habit of shiving. Such dishonest acis, we have been informed are always done, on the Foochow packed tear, and none such tear have ever been free of such mixture. We hope that the Russian Consul will take vigorous steps to have the parties concerned punished, according to Chinese law, as such dishonest dealings are now-a-days too frequent.

nese, sud that limit in some of the colonie has been more than reached. Prominence has been given to the fact that there is free entry to Port Darwin, nad probably vague idea exists that once planted in Australia facilities would be found or created for passing territorial boundaries, and so escape paying the poll-tax. From information received by me I conclude that throughout the emigrating provinces of China the conviction is deepening that the avenues to Australia are being Barrowed, and will eventually be strictly closed, The immediate effect is an unprecedented rush of Chinese, especially to the Northern Territory: During the year the Asiatic, population has been increased by 2124; of these perhaps 3000 are Cingates and Indians. At present steamer after steamer arrives with unusually large num bers of Chinese, and intelligence is to band that

As it is near the middle of the wet steamers in the East, are rapidly filling up with stason, when the number of men employed upon the railway has been greatly reduced, there must be some canse at work which does not appear on the surface. This is said upon good authority to be the formation of a powerful syndicate of Hongkong and Canton merchants with the dis. tinct polley of pouring into Port Darwin as many coolies as they can while it is a port without a poll-tax. The fact of the railway construc tion to Pine Creek being now in hand, the probability of the through Transcontinental railway being undertaken, the existence of gald and precious stones in the centre of Australia, remour of sales of mineral properties with the expectation of large demands for Chinese laber when English companies commence the work of development on a large scale and the large margin of profit which the id, per lb. of impart duty on rice gives for the cabivation of that use ful, and universal article of diet, are all operating causes with Chinese capitalista to obtain the 145,020 lbs. free access of as many coolies as possible before a

The paragraph in our daily issue, of last Thursday certainly deserves the very grave attention of our tea merchants,-"No more leas will be received by the native tea hongs, after the 22nd of August!!11 Fancy Chinamen cutting their own throats for the benefit of the world, while their nature cares, only for their own. We wish they would inform the public what they propose to do with those large orders for the second and third crop greater part of which are now completed and will not be able to come down to the market. till the beginning of September. Throw them away?

poll-tax exists here as well as everywhere else in Australia. It is of importance that all who have to | settle the policy of Australia as a whole should remember-First, that most accurate infor mation is communicated to and possessed by the Chinese autho ties as to the condition of the labor market, and, of the gold and other mineral fields. Second, that the Chinese who are sent to Australia, are almost universally sent by "Hongs," who find passage money and who, through their agents her obtain a large and long-continued squeeze Rom the wages these coolies carn, or the gold. they find. Third, that these Chinese nearly ali belong to secret and dangerous sociclics, against which very stringent legislation exists in the Crown colonies of Hong. kong and the Straits Sett'ements. Membership in these societica is punishable by a fine ΠΟΥ exceeding 5 dollars, or imprison- ment for any period not exceeding six months. Fourth, that with Chinese immigration and the introduction of small-pox, leprosy, and cholera, Australia is in imminent liability, and elaborate provisions must be made for dealing with each of these diseases as they arrive. In all cases the cost should be placed upon the Chinese. Fifth, that the Chinese will always be and always remain foreigners, as were the Moors in Spain and the Turks in south-eastern Europe; and as they were and are distinct and separate races, so the Chinese will always be an alien people. The ages of isolation. and of fixed usage in domestic, social, and national life, have produced an uniformity of social idiosyncrasy which residence for a few years in a British colony does not affect in any appreciable degree; the wearing of slop clothes and felt hats is but a superficial recogni tion of European surroundings. In Sydney and Melbourne, as well as in Port Darwin, the Chinese is a Chineac, and he holds fast to his national habits and customs. Sixth, the great If there is a meaner and more contemptible majority of Chinese who come to Australia will coyote on the face of this footstool than "Major" always be a nomadic and temporary element in Jackson Doty, the old skin-fint grocer on the the population.
