as to the objects and reasons for passing such a lawEORGIA,

His Excellency minds a fewutsurvations on the substance of the Chinese Petition, wiich were meant apparently to bo cn«. ther severe. He insisted that the eignatories of the petition had probably not paid much attention to the shallow nur defective views of political economy therein set forth, and that the responsi bility of those blemishos fail (according whoever to His Excellenor) upon, drafted that petition. The fucts in the Petition the Governor ulmitter ware nadoubtedly strong. Although we have

seen the oficial translation of the

document, referred to, we are in a posi- tion to state that the drafter of the document drafted and settled the strong facta, and rothing more. But the Chinese marchants, were desirous of having some of their protective notions inserted about the disadvantage of baving too many imports, and the advantage of encouraging exports and the heterodox views of political economy were thereupon added by the very men whom His Excellancy thiuks probably did not pay much sttention to the theories in the peti. tion. As the Governor said, this is a small matter-only it is as well to bave such a small watter properly re- presented. The theories were not those of the drafter, but supplemental views ndded by the Chinese merchants themselves; and if we but look around? upon the protective proclivities shown in nearly every country but our own,

The discussion on the Buropean- Reservation Bill was peculiar, inasmuch as no interest whatever, appeared to be taken in the demarcation of the lino by the unofficial members. Even Mr. Ryrie would not apparently have said a word had not representations been made to bim. In the face of the statement made tlist privato rights were thresten ed by the fine of demureution suggest, od, His Excellonay ventured to say that no private interests so far as we are aware are really affected. It is well known that the Surveyor General serves the Government so faithfully that he has hardly ever been snown to admit that any private interest can really be JUST RECEIVED affected by what the Government (1.c. the Surveyor General) may do. Pro- bably, however, a little discussion may throw more light on this subject.
