war, by what its merchants deemed the undue restrictions placed on their trade by the Dutch authorities, Penang will always remain of certain importance, although it is not likely to again assume the position in the commercial world it formerly held. It is much looked to as an emigration centre for the labour required by the Dutch planters at Acheen and elsewhere. It is a convenient coaling and man-of-war station, and is of yet greater necessity as the virtual seat of government as regards Province Wellesley, which when the Peninsula is placed under British protection, as it must, sooner or later, be, will be an important centre of British influence, George Town is built on a plain, at the back of which rises the hill which, as Penangites declare, renders life on the island endurable. The shops, chiefly kept by Babas, or native-born Chinese, are fairly well supplied with necessaries. The census -of 1881 gave 190,597 as the population, in which return, however, were included the population of Province Wellesley and the Dinlings. The population is thus divided:-Europeans, 674; Armenians, 32; Jews, 32; Eurasians, 1,597; Chinese, 67,502; Arabs, 574; Tamils, 25,094; Malays, 84,724; and the rest of various races.
