MORE ABOUT THE COoLIE TRADE.-You will be in
terested to hear that species Of slave trade on
small scale is carried under the noses of the
ernment officials at Hong Kong, and that they are
apparently powerless to put a stop to it. Chinese
Coolies are kidnapped by Chinese crimps in the
most approved fashion, they are invited to gamble
(an invitation that Chinaman can resist) hocas-
sed with shamshoo, and put quietly on board junks
in the harbor at night. In the morning they awake
to find themselves gliding out of the bay, bound
for the Portuguese settlement of Macao. On arri-
val there they are transferred to barracoons-
prisons under another name-where they are fed,
clothed and carefully watched, till sent on board
ships and consigned to Cuba, where they are sold
for $3.50 or $500 as slaves. | am told that some
farce is gone through at Macao, Of their appear
ance before an official previous to their being
shipped, and making declaration that they are
quite willing to go, and are in fact, quite happy
and contented with the brilliant future that lies
before them. But am also told that their iailers
have methods of inducement, into which the bam-
Doo enters largely, TOR persuading them to make
this declaration, and that its value as true expo
sition of their real feelings is extremely doubtful
They are said to cost on an average, from date of
kidnapping to period of shipment for Cuba, S45 to
$50 EACH Their food on board during the passage
cannot be very costly, at it is not likely thew are
treated to any very expensive luxuries. | have
above stated the price they fetch in Cuba so that
it would appear to be altogether very profitable
speculation to those engaged in it. That such a
trade is carried appears to be well known to the
officials here; but it also appears that there are
insurmountable obstacles to its abolition. What
these may be 1 am not sufficiently informed to be
able to state, and am not sufficiently imaginative
to be able to divine. Everybody seems to know
that the trade exists, and nobody seems to know
why it is not abolished.-Cor. Of London Ne'os.
