Maltese Emigration.
The Auckland Herald states that M. de Cesare, who has been sent out from Malta with a view to inspecting the Australasian Colonies as a suitable field m whi^h the surplus population of the little Mediterranean islands might find a home, has declared that the Auckland province is, so far as regards climate, the most fitted that he has yet s«en for this purpose. Malta which is literally nothing but a bare sandstone rock, every atom of soil thereupon having boen imported, manages to support a population of 1400 souls to the square mile and it -is now found that there is just a little difficulty ia providing food for this dense mass of people. The Maltese is ingenious end thirty, he is a splendid sailor, and also has a varied experience of the many agricultural methods used m -Mediterranean-countries, whose climate is not unlike our own. He should make a good colonist.
