PENANG.

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, aa 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 Dindings. The population is thus divided:-Europeans, 674; Armenians, 32; Jews, 32; Eurasians, 1,597; Chinese, 67,502; Arabs, 374; Tamils, 25,094; Malays, 84,724; and the rest of various races.

The trade of Penang has latterly increased considerably. The returns for 1883 show the value of the imports to have been $82,235,163 as compared with $29,100,213 in 1882; that of the exports in 1883, $34,182,239 as against $26,328,173 in 1882.
