For instance, there is now nothing to prevent entire ship loads of 'Hin- dus entering British C.olunabia, and judging' from the persistence with which they have for three yea,rs been pressing the question of their entry these shiploads may not be slow in taking adv-antage of the chance to ceime. • THE DOMINION'S JUBILEE.
