HINTS ON COLONIZATION.
TRANSLATED, FROM THE FRENCH To-dev one dreams of nothing but colonise. tlon and France is always being found fault with for not imbating bitadly the Anglo-Saxon race,
Without firmtex-THAT-FIRÁZE“Kis nothing to study, nothing to madily as to her cotopts tion system, it is but just to consider why Anglo-Saxons are coloniseis.
Well, then, the firs great English colony, Nerib Americ, owes its foundation to the telle ons persecution of the Anglican Church, which bunted down Cibalics and dissenting Protestanta with the same fury. This colony, thanks to the orjasiifiable proceeding of the matters of George III, and thanks to the alt of France, became heautiful and great republic inde perdest of England.
lu England and in the British isles primoge niture, the laws against the partition and acqol allon of the national soll, constrains many of the fine sons of the wealthy classes to expa- triate themselves, The climate has also some thing to do with fi
In the British Isles and especially in England the working classes marry very young, and have enormes milles; the clergy marry too, and often have families very poor. For all such there is no place, with the present territorial laws in force.
In Ireland, poverty, bat harvests, and the in. hamen proceedings of the big proprietors, mostly Protestants, and, formerly the religious persecution against the Catholies, provoked a sement abroad advantageous to the English, for, in the United States it is the fish who are the most bitter #galat England In the Australian Confes, the Irishman often fills the highest official positions, a sufficiently grave condem- Dallon to the English,
In Scotland the movement is favoured also by the laws of pilmograhure, territorial laws, the appropriation of lands for deer forsals, and foally the spirit of adventure in the Scotchman, who is more cosmopolitan than the pare Englishman, and is easily adapted to foreign countries. The Scotchman also is very high placed in the colonter. Now, the Australian Colonies do no! want any more workmen without capiat: America also is shuttlg its dear to colonist without means; and as the king classes are always improvident and continue to marry young, the incial question has established itself and securs every year with an arqueting per. sistence; for great number of workmen will not emigrate, and pire o make good their rights ta the soft. Henc this feverish actielly to Airica In order to ward off the social question, raised by a number of advanced jmszii, Hot, woold France ccept cal system like that of the British Isles? thisk not. The tradient of 1789 da not allow us to suppose It, and we zvɔw, complete parigans of colonisa. tion though we be, we think that the system ol equally and democracy in France is more homane, more just, more equitable than that of the Firitish Isles.
What is to be done then? Assist energeti- cally the foundation in French Colonies of "Agricoltural and commerckel Amodations, sed give them every facility to develop the resources of the country, and when a Frenchman or Frenchmen wish to emigrate, direct thla current to the French colonies according to the aplicite of the colonist. Audit voyages of Foueg men to the colonies; give grants of land, like the Australian Colotes, with easy payments and with the condition to build upon

voyages with commercial-objects on the part of fxrax in the great Fredch. Centres; give to French youths
taste for travel, by Geographico-touristes studies, by alluring publications scattered In the libraries attached to the Schools and Celleges and public libraries throughout the whole of France.
France actually has same very lovely colo ntes. Passassions would have been a more correct word to use in this connection.-Ed. Hongkong Telegraph] By these means they will become colades for peoplog, (cofontes de Displement) and a commercial resource for enterprising Frenchmen, of whom fortunately there are never wan log. But it is especially to the youth that on: must address oneself, and Governors who are not over fly (1) should be sent to tropical Colonias, so that they can get acclimatisest, remain there, and became well acquainted with affairs in general.

The Secretary read a letter from the Colonia Secretary forwarding the amended by-laws for the consideration of the Boud.

Mr. Ed-By-laws has piset eat of our hands and we have nothing to say about it. has not her passed but referred to somebody else.

The Captain Superintendent of Polic-We gave very earnest coasteration to this by-law, and it is one which was considered by the experts on this Based-by expats late President, Mr. Cooper, and the Medical Officer el Health, who are supposed to know more about the subjici than anybody clan-sud the Board, on their come daten and bey their advice, passed the by-law. Therefore, i think that, the Coune! having dealt with the by-laws and they having been relied to us by His Excellency the Governor, we have nothlag further to say about by-law No 5. I think that In sending back the by-laws.we should express our regret that by-law N. t has not been passed and say we hope that no delay will occur to giving the force of the w
The Medles Officer of Health-And w might also paint out the urgent importance of it with respect to the sanitary conditon of the colony and hope there wit be no delay in the consideration of the by-law The point is to get something like bat pasted without delay.
Mr. Ede sald be did not know what the official objection to by-law No. 5 was, but it was only ight that the Board should have the power prevent the ebilraction of the ventilation of buildings by prof:cilons extending out a consider able width, as otherwise son blads would be put up so as to meet in the middle of the street And then thers would be no light at all.
The Board then proceeded to consider a small amendment made in by-law 10 of the amended by-laws.
The amendment was approved.
Ingaid to this by-law the Government wished the Board to state what was, in its opinion, "reasonable police to be given to occupiers or owners of domestic balldings before such bolldings could be covered and faspected by the Inspecies of Nuliances.
The President said this sal ject was discussed
once before and three haary was considered a reason ble notice.
Mr. Ede understand that the Medical Officer of Health was going to arrange to an Inspector of Naisances tige lo a man's premier and tell hira be going to make in inspection. It the men did not object the inspection weusi be made at once, but if there was an off:clou the Inspector would have to give reasonable notice... The Medical Officer of Health all the reola tion he would propose was follows: "That the Colonial S-cretary he informed that the Sinary Board is of opinion therio any case dri which the occupiers or owners of any building or cartilage offered any eb clan whatever to the entry for the parpase of ascertaining the sanitary condition theci, a notice of not less then two hours should te given to the sald occapless or owners." Already under the Medical Officer of Health Ornance, 9 of 1995, sectida 2, the Medical Offic of Health had power to enter an inspection, and, provided the occupants off-red premises between 6am. and 6 pm, and make any ressonable objelloa berelo, the Medical
Officer of Health had to gira two hours' colice to the Decopters.
The Captalo Superintendent of Folice thought Two hours' potica was quite enough.
Mr. Ede vald be agreed, bat he should like the amended by law so worded that an officer of the: Board could go in at once it the occupants gave bim permtests.
i he is universally respected and led by the Chinese commuly. If you are going to
mfaate a man simply because he is a ubordinate officer of the Board 1 do not see how you are going to get satisfactory men to do the
work.
Mr. Ede-All we should have to do wou'd be appetal that man and get the approval of be Gavinor, 1 think we had better pass the Amitment.
The Cipals Superintendent of Police-I have no abjec fan to the mendments it s'ands, bui I think we had better select some officers now, * the place may occur now, or to-morrow, or any day, and we can send their names to the Governor, that we can have everything cut and died.
Mr. Ed-Li have the by-law passed and then we can select the officers.
