The coming of these thousands of China
men necessarily gives rise to the question,
how are they to be disposed of? They come
as free immigrants for the most part, or inden-
tured to certain employers. In either case
there is little difficulty in cutting themselves
adrift from their employers We would mere
ly suggest, that every Asiatic immigrant
should be furnished with a card or ticket, the
possession of which should authorize him to
travel and seek means Of subsistence through
out the group, or be liable to arrest.
Cinnamon are being poured in here by tho
hundreds. thousands wo may say, but re-
sponsible 10 nobody.
1t seems to us competent to the Cabinet, and
the Privy Council to enact regulations restrict
ing the importation of these Chinese, and to
superintend their enlistment. :" Who are to
be sent, and by whom? ?" is the question which
deserves most earnest attention here, and
most accurate instruction to our Representa-
| tive in China

Tur fact that there have been fewer cases cf
smallpox reported this week than when the
epidemic first broke ont, is no reason for be-
lieving that it is disappearing for good. There
have been sixty -threo eases since tho 18th inst
and of these about fifty are directly traccablc
to the QHiatd. Ii this number OF cases is the
result of So small beginning, it is but rca-
sonablo to suppose that within few days
there will be many more found among those
who have been exposed to it through tho re-
cent victims. We sincerely hope that the epi-
demic has been checked, not temporarily but
for good, but in the meantime the closest vigi-
lance is necessary, and we are glad TO know
that the Health authorities are excr,ing them
selves to their utmost to prevent the spread of
the disease, aud are doing all that could be
done under the circumstances for those who
now have it.

WE repeat that we regret that the express
sion +" semi-African" seems to have given
oifense where none was intended. To the
courteous note Of Mr.. Perry, the Portuguese
Consul. we again reply that our meaning was
msinlerpreted, owing, it may be, to our own
awkwardness. b.. =. ~
Wha. we meant to say was simply this, that
there ore in this Kingdom certain number of
individuals, Portuguese as to nationality,
many OF whom have African blood in their
veins, and they as a rule prefer to become
shop-keepers, domestic helpers, dairymen,
hack or dray drivers, rather than TO hoe weeds
in company with Cinnamon, and that they, az
well as the other Europeans we referred to,
seem to take to those industries in preference
to being field hands"
As TO the correspondent OF the Gasen', we
only remark that we have not had the oppor-
tnnity Of studying the characteristics of the
I Chinese laborer when " usdsr The orerseer's
lash" and did not even know that there was
the possibility Of such study in this Kingdom.
We thank him for his geographical inforna-
ton, aud in order TO disseminate il as widely
as possible. point out to our readers that il
may be all found in the index Of any atlas.

Mr.. LEIGH SMITH, an adventurous yachts
man and explorer, has recently made some
important discoveries in the Arctic Ocean.
Sailing from Lerwick, in the Shetland Islands,
on June 2Oth, he first tried the east coast of
Greenland, aud then the north of Spitzbergen,
but was foiled by the ice in both directions
He then attempted Franz Josef land, and after
the failure of first attempt returned, and be-
tween tho l4th August and the end of that
month discovered new coast line extending
wes,wards bey ond the farthest point seen by
tho Austrian expedition, with islands, capes,
harbors, and glaciers, thus proving the navi-
gability of the water to this new coast line,
which will probably he the bass Of operations
for future Polar exploration. The Ezra, a
word meaning snow, reached the latitude so
20 n. in longitude 40 9 f., and towards tho
northwest land was seen forty miles distant
The newly discovered coast line extended $50
miles. Mr.. Smith also reached the spot where
the Austrian exploring ship Tgeahof was
abandoned fast locked in ice now he found
open water. The Ezra reached Peternead. in

the street, and each backed in close against
the door of the warehouses, Into which one
appeared TO be discharging, and from which
the other wss loading. Ia both instances the
sidewalk Was completely blocked, and the
pedestrian had the choice Of climbing over the
dray or going out into the ankle deep mud in
the middle Of the street, as very heavy rains
had fallen throughout the preceding night. A
little farther on we came To a lumber-laden
vehicle whose driver was adjusting his LASH
ings in tins middle OF the street, bis load being
slabs nf Northwest twenty live or thirty feet
long. There was barely room for an express
20 pass by. Next We saw two men trying to
drive an unbroken horse. The poor beast
jibbed and backed, when one man took IL by
the headgear and commenced hogging il across
the legs and underneath the body, In order,

weighs less than an ordinary newborn babe !;
his weight is nine pounds, but his stature is
