British Possessions.

The Blue Book in which the Colonial office
lays before Parliament statistical accounts Of
the British Colonial and other possessions, con-
talns this year no less than six hundred and
thirty -four folio pages. The volume has be-
come so large that small annual statistical
Abstract" has been found acceptable. Our In
dian possessions are described as having an
area OF 696,79O square miles, and population
of 244 948 1856; the native States OF India (a5
distinguished from British India) having an
area of 500, 100 square miles, and population
OF AZ, 909, ,l99, besides which there are IN India
1854 square miles of native States, under the
French or the Portuguese Government, with a
population OF 5l7, 14S. The area of our North
American Colonies is 632, 36l square miles, with
a population of 800, ,46l; aud this does not
include I'll vast territory administered by the
Hudson Bay Company. Australasia contains
an area of 2,582,070 square miles, and popula-
tion of 1,599, $685. the British West Indies an area
of 8S,6S3 square miles, and population OF
1887, ,627; the Cape of Good Hope and Natal
49, 32S square miles, and 425,6 people; Cey Ion
"a, 700 square miles, and q population of
2,O47, ,728. Our other colonies being added, the
general total is OF ,427, 232 square miles,
and population of 154, $40, 787 souls; and this
retdrns not receIved-the aborigines of British
Columbia, and some 10000 persons on the 5000
square miles OF the Gold Coast settlement. The
parent State, the United Kingdom, has an area
of no more than 100000 square miles, aud a
population not much exceeding $4,000, 600.
The public revenue of these vast possessions
abroad was nearly f63, 900, 900 10 the year 1865,
the year for which these returns are made;
it approaches that of the mother country. Not
so the public debt; it is not quite 914O 600, 900.
The tonnage entered and cleared in 1866,
exclusive of the coasting trade, was
about 26, 000,0 600. The imports into these British
possessions in 1865 including bullion and specie,
amouted in value to fl28, 1916, ,053; more than
| f56,000, 600 worth we're from the United King
| dom. The exports amounted to 9l4l 1868 1O2;
979, 1868 OF these exports went to the United
| Kingdom. These great possessions sent forth,
for the supply of the world in that year, wool OF
the value of fl2, ,234 $50; raw sugar. Ell l5S I63;
coffee, 93, 30S 1858; WOOL 93 876 $50; fish, f1 66S.
26O. India alone, in the year ending April 1866,
sent out raw cotton of the value of 937, ,573 637.
Such is the British colonial empire. Queen
Victoria is monarch of all here surveyed. The
supply of cotton was of exceptional amount
during the great American conflict; but most of
even these great figures have already become
an understatement, for population, production,
and consumption alike have increased and are
increasing.

John w. Stevenson, Acting Governor OF
Kentucky.

The Constitution of kentucky provides that
in the event oil the death of the Governor occur
ling during the first two years of his term, the
Chief Justice of the State shall issue an order
for the election of Governor, TO be held on the
first Monday of the August following. In the
meantime the duties appertaining to the office
devolve upon the Lieutenant t. Governor, and
make him the virtual Governor until new
election is held. Such being the case the Hon.
John w. Stevenson will be the acting Executive
OF Kentucky for twelve months to come. He is
native OF Richmond, Virginia, and 4 graduate
OF the University OF VirRlnia. He studied law,
and after being admitted TO the bar removed to
COvington, Kentucky, in 1912, where he pcac-
tised his profession with much success. From
lS45 to l847 he was a member of the State Legis-
lature and in l849 was one of the most promi-
nent delegates in the Kentucky Constitutional
Convention. He filled various other State offices
until 1856, when he was elected TO the Thirty
fifth Congress, and served as member of the
Committee on Elections. In 1859 he was re-
elected, serving on the same committee. Daring
the Rebellion Mr.. Stevenson is said TO have
syupathiZed with the South, although he took
no personal part in the war. Like the late Gov
ernoI Helm, he is a Democrat of pronounced
sentiments, firm believer IN the doctrine of
State rights, and bitter opponent OF radical
Ism. He is, nevertheless, a man OF decided
abilities and OF great drmness of character, and
POSSESSES considerable influence in Kentucky.
