THE NEW HEBRIDES.

SYDNEY, March 9,

The Herald says:—"lf the New Hebrides agreement can be carried out with advantage to British interests, we are bound to do our part, and the question is whether the Commonwealth cannot just add the something necessary to give Britain more solid ground for future negotiations. The trouble with the British settlement has been that Britishers have no markets unless they become French subjects. cannot we throw open our ports to them? This would add"a new element to the situation not at all inimical to France, and would show the world we are prepared to do for our own countrymen what France is doing for hers." ; .
