Our attention has been drawn lately to tho old grievances of strost cries and obstrup- ions, which are said to be more rampant than ever throughout the Colony. As the Chinese houses and shops, continue to ad- vance upon the portions of the town hitherto regarded as the Foreign quarter, these nuisances will probably become more and more apparent. So far as street-criem are concerned, it would seem that the best mode of dosling with these is for householders in the prohibited auctions to order them off, and then, when this hint fails, to give them in charge. Obstructionists are commonly most numerous ju the Chinese quarter;"
