THE CHINESE QUESTION.
Sydney, August 10. Mr Quong lart, a leading Chinese merchant, has received a letter from Hong Kong to the effect that the refusal of the Australian colonies to allow Chinese to land has excited a feeling of great indignation in China, and that several meetings have been held at which resolutions were passed protesting against the treatment which the Chinese had received. The meetings further resolved that the matter should not be allowed to rest without an endeavor being made to obtain fair play for the Chinese. London, August 9. In the House of Commons to-day, Sir John Gorst, replying to Sir George Campbell, said that the New South Wales Chinese Restriction Act provided for the legal redress of grievances, and indemnified Ministers for the action taken by Government in the matter of refusing to allow the Chinese to land in that colony. The Act was still subject to thd Queen's approval, and would be most carefully considered by Her Majesty's advisers.
