Oliver says :—“ With regard to my owning shares in the Waiinea Plains railway, as soon as the fact—mentioned by myself in the House—appeared to afford ground for Opposition attack, I authorised the sale at any price of the 25 shares which I had subscribed for, and before the close of the session I learnt that they were sold. The precise date of transfer I do not recollect, but it was at the beginning of this year, during the few weeks which 1 spent at Dunedin. It shows pretty conclusively the spirit in which malevolent people judge one’s actions, that the paltry sum of £37 10s should be supposed to afford sufficient motive for a particular treatment of that line by mo.” A Chinese settlement is springing up in Northern Australia, between Caims and Port Douglas. The main industry is sugar manufacture, in which there arc already 100 Celestials employed, and a large addition to their number is expected next year. Dwellings are being erected in some instances, and there arc at least ten Chinese women expected out to join their husbands shortly.
