CORRESPONDENCE.

Mr MossonAnnoxatio.i,

(To tho Editor),

g IR) _I rea d your article on annexation yesterday with much interest. Few deny that the extension of French influence in these seas is undesirable, and all would re gard with abhorrence ;my extension of their convict depots. Hasty attempts to guard against these ills by annexation may, how over, bring upon us other ills even graver and more permanent in character. If Franco determine to annex any of the Islands w« cannot, single-handed, prevent her. "We must look to England. If Eng land do not see tit to act, we have the conso lation of knowing that in peace time barring convicts—French settlements will not bo° an unmiicd evil. In war time they could only weaken France so faraway and unsupported. If the war were with England, France would be tolerably sure to lose thorn by capture. If tho war wore with any other maritime power, she would probably bo glad to relieve herself of such distant burdens and sell them to Australia if Australia wished it, just as tho great Napoleon in the height of his power was glad to uell Louisiana to the United States. If Franco persist in sending eoiiTicts tp bo a nuisance and a danger to her neigh bours, no Treaty engagements with England can prevent the Australian Colonies from putting all French possessions under moral quarantine. A stringent non-intercourse act would bo our best and most cil'ective retaliation. It is not likely that France would persist in tho face of a protest from England backed by tho certainty that lior scattered colonies would be thus isolated. Nor would sho then bo long in discovering that islands, like tho New Hebrides, with a tropical climate in which Europeans cannot do outdoor labour, with abundanco of fever and dysentery, and with a super abundauoo of untamed cannibals, aro not likely to bo profitable as stations for Euro pean convicts, their families, and their guards. Commerce with the Islands is assured to us by our position and climate, without an nexation. Financially, annexation—if with confederation —must involvo the remodelling of our revenue system and the abandonment of many duties, especially those on sugar, tobacco, spirits, and probably coffeo and tea. The retention of those duties would involro a difficult and vexatious excise in the islands in which the articles were pro duced. If instead of confederating wo troat tho Islands as dependencies, we shall avoid tho revenue difficulty, but must bo pre pared to maintain a considerable armed force organised specially for serrico in tho tropics. We must also be prepared for a serious dorangement in our domestic polities. Ministers would re quire new powers and would liavo very much greater patronage. Wo should add to the Civil Service a powerful class of ablo men, united by a common interest and a common sentiment, ever ready to aid In destroyiiig the political equality which is the living foundation of our present demo cratic system, but of which men accustomed to the goTernment of subject races aro always peculiarly intolorant. In a Military sense theso scattered islands would bo to us a source of weakness. In no way can they bo necessary for our defonco or add to our safoty. Even to England the colonies have been a source of military difficulty and weakness, only atoned by tho outlet afforded for her teeming millions. Wo have noithcr England's strength nor the teeming millions to consider. Commercial, financial, and military con siderations are, however, but of passing moment when compared with the political effect of adding to our small population many hundred thousand people whom wo cannot admit to equal rights of suffrage and of representation. This is the dithculty which is now trying tho South African Colonies so severely. It is the real problem which our delegates to tho Conference will havo to solve. If they fail to solto it satisfactorily wo shall assuredly do bettor to remain as wo are, with a people able to goyern itself completely, and with a country which Nature ha» so fortified that the next generation ought to bo able to hold it against any aggressor, como whence he may. Peril this self-government in the least degree, and wo run a terrible risk— the risk of degi-ading large masses of our own people and of doing a great and endur ing wrong to those who come after us for many generations. No possiblo gain in commerce could atone for this. A deep sense of its imminence has placed mo, in this matter, in opposition to some in tho Assembly whose opinions I valuo greatly and with whom I havo al ways cordially actod ; but I am far from alono in regarding the political as pect as the most important in tho tonsideration of this quostion. I venture to think that it is tho aspect which the people of New Zealand, who have deliberately excluded Chinese and who want no native labourers from the Islands, should keep most carefully and constantly in view

Lord Derby's Reply to tho Agents-GeneraL

Tho Agents-General for the different Aus tralasian Colonies to-day received a reply from Lord Derby in answer to a letter written by Mr Smith, Agent-Geneial for Victoria, requesting a definite an nouncement of tho course which the Imperial authorities intend to pursno in regard to tho proposed annexation of Now Guinea and is ew Hebrides. Lord Derby's statement consists of several vague assu rances of the interest taken by Government in the welfare of tho colonies, but the gene ral tonor ia evasive and unsatisfactory. He states, however, that Government in tends to adhere to thei" previous doter mination as to tho annexation^ of Now Guinea, and^ also that they will decline to annex any^ other islands of the I'acifiCf In regard to the [report that the French Government intend to deport habitual criminals to the New Hebrides, Lord Derby promises to confer with Earl Granville with a view to determina tion on tho line of policy which tho English Government shall adopt. Ho points out that tho Tongan and Samoan islands aro protected by existing treaties, and'that tho independence of the New Hebrides is recognised by the French Government. Lord Derby a!so refers to represen tations which have been made to him concerning alleged outrages com mitted by Queensland planters engaged in the South Sea labour traffic, and states that he will communicate with Sir Arthur Gor don, High Commissioner for the Western Pacific, upon tho subject, with a view to having tho statements thoroughly under stood.

"Mullens-stroet, Balmain, Sydney, August 9, 1883.— To the Publishers "Sydney Morning Herald."-Dear Sirs,-I feel it incumbent on my part to inform you of tho great benefit I have received from the hso of bt. Jacobs Oil. Some three years ago I injured my left leg and knee to that extent I thought I had become a permanent cripple My kneo-cap was twico its natural size, and my leg was so contracted and shortenod that I could not walk without considerable pain and inconvenionco. During that time I hod tried romedics innumerable, but without receiving the slightest boncfituntil I gave St. Jacobs Oil a trial, and, much to my dolight and astonish ment, I began to got better, and boforo the con tents of the bottle were half used, both my leg and knee assumed their normal condition, and to-day I am entirely free from pain, and can walk as well as ever I did in my life. I heartily recommend St. Jacobs Oil to any ono suffering from pain, and feel satisfied it has no equal for tho cure of chronic and contracted limbs.—l remain, dear Sirs, yours faithfully, C. L.

Darlinghurst, August «7, 1883.-Messrs Publishers ' Sydney Mail. -Dear Sirs,—lt gives me great pleasure to say in the most unqualified manner that I have found bu Jacobs Oil the best preparation for Rheumat ism, Gout, and other pains, that I have used or known. A member of my family was suffering from a severe attack of rheumatic gout, both in tho hands and foot. The pain was most excru ciating. I suggested her using St. Jacobs Oil, and am pleased to say the result was o£ a most satisfactory character. After one or two applications the pain entirely left, and up tp the present have had no return of tho trouble. I look on St. Jacobs Oil as a universal panacea for all kinds of aches and pains. I have advised many of. my personal friends to give it a trial, and nave heard from them that nothing they had ever used did them so much good. It is, without doubt, the only Household Remedy o£ modern times, and I shall always kcop a bottle ■within reach.—l remain, dear Sirs, yours faith fully, J. R. Drewett."
