MALACCA.

The settlement of Malacca excites more interest from a historical point of view than either of its sister towns, but has so completely fallen to the rear since the establishment of Pe ang nd Singapore as to merit but brief notice in this compila- tion. Seldom visited by foreigners except for relaxation, its white population, including the troops stationed there, scarcely reaches fifty individuals, the permanent residents numbering only six or seve... Originally settled by the Portuguese in 1511, it retained its importance as the one for entrepôt in the East until the founding of Penang, when its fortunes rapidly declined. At the present moment it is the least European of all British Settlements in the East, though the facts that it has given its name to the Peninsula and that it was the cradle of Anglo-Chinese study attest its former importance. Its area is embraced by boundaries some 42 miles in length, with a breadth of from 8.0 25 miles. It is governed by a Resident Councillor in suborðina- tion to Singapore.

Its one point of interest is its location as a natural history centre, the majority of its casual visitors being attracted thither for sport or science. Beyond this it possesses no attractions except to those who like to visit scenes famous in the annals of discovery for the bloody fights they have witnessed between the natives and the European nations who contended for their possession. Its population in 1881 amounted to 93,579 individuals, of whom 52,059 were males and 41,250 females, an increase since 1871 of 15,823. Of these 40 were Europeans, 2,213 Eurasiaus, 19,741 Chinese, 67,488 Malays, and the remainder various Eastern races.
