(Extract.)

MY DEAR SIR,

Enclosure 5 in No. 7.

Singapore, 9th October 1851. "I HAVE made inquiries from my Chinese contractors, and they tell me that con- tractors will be found to proceed to the West Indies, I have no doubt they would go, and that at least a dozen men might be obtained to do so. The remittances of money for their families in China might be done through England overland to this by the steamer, and their money remittances and letters may go as usual by the return of the junks to China. With proper management, all these small but essential things to the Chinese people might be ensily arranged, and they satisfied live in these points."

Yours very truly,

(Signed)

MEMORANDUM of cost of cultivation, manufacture, and returns of two crops of sugar, in Province Wellesley.

In estimating the cost of cultivation and manufacture, it must be understood that the former will be carried on entirely by contract work, paid at certain fixed rates, and the latter by daily labour at stated prices. It must also be borne in mind, that the manu- facture of the first crop will begin in the 15th month, and that of the second 12 months after, or in the 26th month; and that a period of 8 months, or 240 days, will be allowed to

work off the former, and 7 months, or 210 days, the latter.

In cultivating, therefore, as it is proposed, 300 orlongs of land, already cleared, or simply covered with brushwood, the cost of the first crop will be:→
