There is no room in this case for the presumption contended for by Mr Kingsmill that the obeque was paid out of the money of Aug. Heard Co, as it seem to me.

HARBOUR MASTER'S REPORT.

HARBOUR DEPARTMENT, Hongkong, 18th February, 1878, Bra,I have the honour to forward the

neeted with the Trade, &c, of the Colony for the year ending the 81st December, 1875.

10. Excluding the Junk trade it will be found that 1,951,855 tons of registered chipping arrived in vessels other than Chinese built, 79.84 per cent of which was brought by Steam vessels and the remain. ing 20.16 per cent by Sailing vessels of all

28. In newly discovered gold fields, a greater amount of success, attends the dig ger's labour, but even there the Chinaman is not allowed to come near when the Euro pean thinks he will got gold. The Uki naman's secret of success is patience and perseverance combined with the strictest sobriety.

Cooktown, which has sprang into existence ainee the discovery of gold in its neighbourhood, is still town of wood and canvas. Here the Ohinanan is seen to great perfection. He owns some of the principal shops in the place and by his attention to business, and care of his money when he has made it, he is amongst the mort wealthy in the plans. Chinese in North Queensland have many greater advantages than Europeans. The allmate is better adapted to the former than to the latter, and they can work throughout the year, while Europeans are unable to do so, 24. Female emigration to Penang and Singapore bas increased by 110.69 per cent, and out of 15,168 Chinese despatched bangs to the Straits Settlements nearly 1 per cant were females.

25. Out of 19,168 emigrants to California, scarcely 2 per cent are females. There are varied opinions as to whether the partial prohibition placed on the importation of Chinese females into the United Statos is s pulitis one. Doubtless the influx of large number of unmarried women into a country is likely to be attended by highly immoss. results, but with people having an intimate knowledge of the Chinese character, it les question whether it is not better not, to disturb female emigration than to prohibit it, the result of the latter being much more horrible and dlagusting than one likes to dwell on,'
