which ought to be addressed to Dr. Bowring on the subjects adverted to in this correspondence.

In the questions raised by his letter, Dr. Bowring states, first, the mode of dealing with non-British ships which put passengers on board beyond the limits of the factory, and thus escape the operation of the Passengers Act; and second, the course to be adopted in regard to emigration to the Philippine Islands and the Indian Archipelago.

On the first of these points, we are happy to perceive that the view which we submitted in our Report of 28th of June last is sanctioned by the Law Officers of the Crown. Upon this point, therefore, there can be no difficulty in deciding on the instructions to be issued to Dr. J. Bowring.

The second question is more complicated. This was urged by Messrs. Time, the owners of the "Fortune", which has been engaged in this trade, and by Messrs. Fair and Co., who had chartered the "Singapore" for Manila, supported to a great extent.
