SUPPLEMENTARY TREATY.
WHEREAS a Treaty of Perpetual Peace and Friendship between Her Majesty the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, and His Majesty the Emperor of China, was concluded at Nanking, and signed on board Her said Majesty's ship "Cornwallis" on the 29th day of August, A. D. 1842, corresponding with the Chinese date of the 24th day of the 7th month of the 22nd year of Taoukwang, of which said Treaty of Perpetual Peace and Friendship, the Ratifications, under the respective seals and signs manual of the Queen of Great Britain, &c., and the Emperor of China, were duly exchanged at Hong-Kong on the 26th day of June, A. D. 1843, corresponding with the Chi- nese date the 29th day of the Fifth month, in 23rd year of Taoukwang; and Whereas, in the said Treaty it was provided (amongst other things), that the five ports of Canton, Foo-chow-foo, Amoy, and Ningpo, and Shanghai, should be thrown open for the resort and residence of British merchants, and that a fair and regular Tariff of Export and Import duties, and other dues, should be esta- blished at such ports; and Whereas, various other matters of detail connected with, and bearing relation to the said Treaty of Perpetual Peace and Friendship, have been since under the mutual discussion and consideration of the Plenipoten- tiary and accredited Commissioners of the High Contracting Parties; and the said tariff and details having been now finally examined into, adjusted, and agreed upon, it has been determined to arrange and record them in the form of a Sup- plementary Treaty of Articles, which Articles shall be held to be as binding, and of the same efficacy as though they had been inserted in the original Treaty of Perpetual Peace and Friendship.

ARTICLE I.
The Tariff of Export and Import Duties, which is hereunto attached under the seals and signatures of the respective Plenipotentiary and Commissioners, shall henceforward be in force at the five ports of Canton, Foo-chow-foo, Amoy, Ning- po, and Shanghai.
ARTICLE II.
The General Regulations of Trade, which are hereunto attached under the seals and signatures of the respective Plenipotentiary and Commissioners, shall henceforward be in force at the five aforenamed ports.
ARTICLE III.
All penalties enforced or confiscations made under the third clause of the said General Regulations of Trade, shall belong and be appropriated to the public service of the Government of China.
ARTICLE IV.
After the five ports of Canton, Foo-chow, Amoy, Ningpo, and Shanghai, shall be thrown open, English merchants shall be allowed to trade only at those five ports. Neither shall they repair to any other ports or places, nor will the
92
E.
2
Chinese people at any ports or places be permitted to trade with them. If English merchant-vessels shall, in contravention of this agreement, and of a pro- clamation to the same purport, to be issued by the Plenipotentiary, repair to any other ports or places, the Chinese Government Officers shall be at liberty to seize and confiscate both vessels and cargoes; and should Chinese people be discovered clandestinely dealing with English merchants at any other ports or places, they shall be punished by the Chinese Government in such manner as the law may direct.
ARTICLE V.
The fourth clause of the General Regulations of Trade, on the subject of commercial dealings and debts between English and Chinese merchants, is to be clearly understood to be applicable to both parties.
ARTICLE VI.
It is agreed that English merchants and others residing at, or resorting to, the Five Ports to be opened, shall not go into the surrounding country beyond certain short distances to be named by the local authorities, in concert with the British Consul, and on no pretence for purposes of traffic. Seamen and persons belonging to the ships shall only be allowed to land under authority and rules which will be fixed by the Cousul, in communication with the local officers; and should any persons whatever infringe the stipulations of this Article, and wander away into the country, they shall be seized and handed over to the British Consul for suitable punishment.
3
tained or suspected by the officers of the Government of China, whither such criminals and offenders have fled, a communication shall be made to the proper English officer, in order that the said criminals and offenders may be rigidly searched for, seized, and, on proof or admission of their guilt, delivered up. In like manner, if any soldier or sailor, or any other person, whatever his caste or country, who is a subject of the Crown of England, shall, from any cause or on any pretence, desert, fly, or escape into the Chinese territory, such soldier or sailor, or other person, shall be apprehended and confined by the Chinese Autho- rities, and sent to the nearest British Consular or other Government officer. In neither case shall concealment or refuge be afforded.
ARTICLE X.
At each of the Five Ports to be opened to British merchants, one English cruizer will be stationed to enforce good order and discipline amongst the crews of merchant shipping, and to support the necessary authority of the Consul over British subjects. The crews of such ship of war will be carefully restrained by the officer commanding the vessel, and they will be subject to all the rules regarding going on shore and straying into the country, that are already laid down for the crews of merchant-vessels. Whenever it may be necessary to relieve such ships of war by another, intimation of that intention will be commu- nicated by the Consul, or by the British Superintendent of Trade, where circumstances will permit, to the local Chinese Authorities, lest the appearance of an additional ship should excite misgivings amongst the people; and the Chinese cruizers are to offer no hindrance to such relieving ship, nor is she to be con- sidered liable to any port-charges, or other rules laid down in the General Regulations of Trade, seeing that British ships of war never trade in any shape.
$
ARTICLE VII.
The Treaty of Perpetual Peace and Friendship provides for British subjects and their families residing at the cities and towns of Canton, Foo-chow, Amoy, Ningpo, and Shanghai, without molestation or restraint. It is accordingly determined that ground and houses, the rent or price of which is to be fairly and equitably arranged for, according to the rates prevailing amongst the people, without exaction on either side, sha" set apart by the local officers in commu- nication with the Consul, and the number of houses built, or rented, will be reported annually to the said local officers by the Consul, for the information of their respective viceroys and governors; but the number cannot be limited, seeing that it will be greater or less, according to the resort of merchants.
ARTICLE VIII.
The Emperor of China having been graciously pleased to grant to all foreign countries whose subjects or citizens have hitherto traded at Canton, the privilege of resorting for purposes of trade to the other four ports of Foo-chow, Amoy, Ningpo, and Shanghai, on the same terms as the English, it is further agreed, that should the Emperor hereafter, from any cause whatever, be pleased to grant additional privileges or immunities to any of the subjects or citizens of such foreign countries, the same privileges and immunities will be extended to, and enjoyed by, British subjects; but it is to be understood, that demands or requests are not on this plea to be unnecessarily brought forward.
ARTICLE IX.
If lawless natives of China, having committed crimes or offences against their own Government, shall flee to Hong-Kong, or to the English ships of war, or English merchant-ships, for refuge, they shall, if discovered by the English officers, be handed over at once to the Chinese officers for trial and punishment; or if, before such discovery be made by the English officers, it should be ascer-
ARTICLE XI.
The posts of Chusan and Koolungsoo will be withdrawn, as provided for in the Treaty of Perpetual Peace and Friendship, the moment all the monies stipu- lated for in that Treaty shall be paid; and the British Plenipotentiary distinctly and voluntarily agrees, that all dwelling-h store-houses, barracks, and other buildings that the British troops, or people, may have occupied, or intermediately built or repaired, shall be handed over, on the evacuation of the posts, exactly as they stand, to the Chinese Authorities, so as to prevent any pretence for delay, or the slightest occasion for discussion or dispute on those points.
ARTICLE XII.
A fair and regular Tariff of duties and other dues having now been established, it is to be hoped that the system of smuggling which has hereto- fore been carried on between English and Chinese merchants-in many cases with the open connivance and collusion of the Chinese Custom-house officers- will entirely cease; and the most peremptory proclamation to all English mer- chants has been already issued on this subject by the British Plenipotentiary, who will also instruct the different Consuls to strictly watch over, and carefully scrutinize, the conduct of all persons, being British subjects, trading under his superintendence. In any positive instance of smuggling transactions coming to the Consul's knowledge, he will instantly apprize the Chinese Authorities of the fact, and they will proceed to seize and confiscate all goods, whatever their value or nature, that may have been so smuggled, and will also be at liberty, if they see fit, to prohibit the ship from which the smuggled goods were landed, from trading further, and to send her away, as soon as her accounts are adjusted and paid. The Chinese Government officers will, at the same time, adopt what- ever measures they may think fit with regard to the Chinese merchants and Custom-house officers, who may be discovered to be concerned in smuggling.

ARTICLE XIII.
persons, whether natives of China or otherwise, who may wish to convey goods from any one of the Five Ports of Canton, Foo-chow-foo, Amoy, Ningpo, and Shanghai, to Hong-Kong, for sale, or consumption, shall be at full and perfect liberty to do so, on paying the duties on such goods, and obtaining a pass, or port clearance, from the Chinese Custom-house at one of the said ports. natives of China wish to repair to Hong-Kong to purchase goods, they shall Should have free and full permission to do so; and should they require a Chinese vessel to carry away their purchases, they must obtain a pass, or port-clearance, for her at the Custom-house of the port whence the vessel may sail for Hong-Kong. It is further settled, that in all cases these passes are to be returned to the officers of the Chinese Government, as soon as the trip for which they may be granted shall be completed.
ARTICLE XIV.
An English officer will be appointed at Hong-Kong, one part of whose duty will be to examine the registers and passes of all Chinese vessels that may repair to that port to buy or sell goods, and should such officer at any time, find that any Chinese merchant-vessel has not a pass, or register, from one of the Five Ports, she is to be considered as an unauthorized or smuggling vessel, and is not to be allowed to trade, whilst a report of the circumstance is to be made to the Chinese Authorities. By this arrangement, it is to be hoped that piracy and illegal traffic will be effectually prevented.
ARTICLE XV.
Should natives of China who may repair to Hong-Kong to trade, incur debts there, the recovery of such debts must be arranged for by the English Courts of Justice on the spot; but if the Chinese debtor shall abscond and be known to have property, real or personal, within the Chinese territory, the rule laid down in the fourth clause of the General Regulations for Trade shall be applied to the case; and it will be the duty of the Chinese Authorities, on appli- cation by, and in concert with, the British Consuls, to do their utmost to see justice done between the parties. On the same principle, should a British merchant incur debts at any of the Five Ports, and fly to Hong-Kong, the British Authorities will, on receiving an application from the Chinese Govern- ment officers, accompanied by statements and full proofs of the debts, institute an investigation into the claims, and, when established, oblige the defaulter or debtor to settle them to the utmost of his means.
ARTICLE XVI.
It is agreed, that the Custom-house officers at the Five Ports shall make a monthly return to Canton, of the passes granted to vessels proceeding to Hong- Kong, together with the nature of their cargoes, and a copy of these returns will be embodied in one return, and communicated once a-month, to the proper English officer at Hong-Kong. The said English officer will, on his part, make a similar return or communication to the Chinese Authorities at Canton, showing the names of Chinese vessels arrived at Hong-Kong, or departed from that port, with the nature of their cargoes, and the Canton Authorities will apprize the Custom-houses at the Five Ports, in order that, by these arrange- ments and precautions, all clandestine and illegal trade, under the cover of may be averted.
ARTICLE XVII.

It is now agreed, in relation to this class of vessels which ply between Hong-Kong and the city of Macao, that if they only carry passengers, letters, and baggage, they shall, as heretofore, pay no tonnage dues, but if these small craft carry any dutyable articles, no matter how small the quantity may be, they But this class of small craft ought, in principle, to pay their full tonnage dues. are not like the large ships which are engaged in foreign trade; they are con- stantly coming and going; they make several trips a-month, and are not like the large foreign ships, which, on entering the port, cast anchor at Whampoa. If we were to place them on the same footing as the large foreign ships, the charge would fall unequally; therefore after this, the smallest of these craft shall be rated at 75 tons, and the largest not to exceed 150 tons; whenever they enter the port (or leave the port with cargo) they shall pay tonnage dues at the rate of one mace per ton register. If not so large as 75 tons, they shall still be considered and charged as of 75 tons; and if they exceed 150 tons, they shall be considered as large foreign ships, and, like them, charged tonnage dues, at the rate of five mace per register ton. Foo-chow and the other ports having none of this kind of intercourse, and none of this kind of small craft, it would be unnecessary to make any arrangement as regards them.
The following are the rules by which they are to be regulated: 1st. Every British schooner, cutter, lorcha, &c., shall have a sailing letter or register in Chinese and English, under the seal and signature of the Chief Superintendent of Trade, describing her appearance, burthen, &c., &c.
2nd. Every schooner, lorcha, and such vessel, shall report herself, as large vessels are required to do, at the Bocca Tigris; and when she carries cargo, she shall also report herself at Whampoa, and shall, on reaching Canton, deliver up her sailing letter or register to the British Consul, who will obtain permission from the Hoppo for her to discharge her cargo, which she is not to do without such permission, under the forfeiture of the penalties laid down in the 3rd clause of the General Regulations of Trade.
3rd. When the inward cargo is discharged, and an outward one (if in- tended) taken on board, and the duties on both arranged and paid, the Consul will restore the register or sailing letter, and allow the vessel to depart.
This Supplementary Treaty, to be attached to the original Treaty of Peace, consisting of sixteen Articles, and one additional Article relating to small vessels, is now written out, forming, with its accompaniments, four pamphlets, and is formally signed aud sealed by their Excellencies the British Plenipo- tentiary, and the Chinese Imperial Commissioner, who, in the first instance, take two copies each, and exchange them, that their provisions may be immediately carried into effect. At the same time, each of these high functionaries, having taken his two copies, shall duly memorialize the Sovereign of his nation; but the two countries are differently situated as respects distance, so that the will of the one Sovereign can be known sooner than the will of the other. It is now, therefore, agreed, that on receiving the gracious assent of the Emperor in the Vermilion Pencil, the Imperial Commissioner will deliver the very document containing it into the hands of his Excellency Hwang, Judge of Canton, who will proceed to such place as the Plenipotentiary may appoint, and deliver it to the English Plenipotentiary, to have and to hold. Afterwards, the Sign Manual of the Sovereign of England, having been received at Hong-Kong, likewise gra- ciously assenting to and confirming the Treaty, the English Plenipotentiary will despatch a specially appointed officer to Canton, who will deliver the copy con- taining the Royal Sign Manual to his Excellency Hwang, who will forward it to the Imperial Commissioner, as a rule and a guide to both nations for ever, and as a solemn confirmation of our peace and friendship. A most important Supplementary Treaty.
Signed and sealed at Homun-Chai, on the 8th day of October, 1843, corres- ponding with the Chinese date of the 15th day of the 8th moon, of the 23rd year of Taoukwang.

From the Despatches of Sir Henry Pottinger submitted to My Lords in this
Leker it appears, that considerable

of mesting the difficulties that had san experienced in this respect, arising principally as it would sum from the
disuse of
Coins of defined weight and value as a berculating
berculating Medium in China, Sir H. Pottinger, in contest with the Commissory General of Hong Kong, had adopted the following Measenes.
First - He had made Applechon to

Thirdly - He had obtained in Echange for Bills on the Governa General of India, 100.000 Broken Dollars, " at the rate of 227 Rupee for 100 Dollars; it beny stated that alth's this rate was 2 Rupees prr 100 Dollars higher than the rate at which the whole Dollars are

The principal points to which this Correspondence abludes appear to be the question as to the liability to Postage of the official corespondence to and from Houghtong, and the regulations to be enforced unspecting

On the latter post I consulted the Schliciter
of this Department, and d'enclose a Copy of that Officin opinion which I have.
hors mitted to the Deputy Postmaster General. for his present quidance in the matter.
I
With regard to the Offical correspondence to & prom Hong Kong, presume your Lordships cannot for a
moment sanction the directions givenby Sir Henry Pottinger to gempt such correspondance : form the rates of Postage to which it is hable', as such, a course would of onu

Then sums to Me, however, no objeckin to bewanks being opened between the Deputy Postmaster General and the larger Public Departments in the Colony repon the same System as at present is pursued in this Country and Canada. In the laster Country the amount is paid to the Post office by the various departments, in the case of Hong Kong it will be for Your Lordships to determine in what
个
manner.

payment for this official postage
shall be made to the Post Office Revenue.
The postage on the official correspondence between Hong Kong and the Writed Brydom
is already brought to account both Outwards and Inwards in this country and the arrangement therefore I' propone coonld have reference almost entirely to the Official correspondence to & prom Hong Kong, and India,
cona China .
With this view and pending your Lordships decision in the matter, I hav directed the Deputy Postmaster General to open accounts of this mature with the following Public Departments and Officers in the

In the endoid papers you Lordships will perceive that allusion is made to the bass mession pom Hong Ring of Letters for the United Kingdom. vrà Calcutta and Madras, but as there is a heavy Inland postage.

for that postage at the Port of disembarkation,
and I have desired the deputy Postmaster General not to forward them by that toote unless specially so addressed by the Waiters. As, however, Sir Henry Pottinger expresses an anxiety that advantage should be taken Weguts proceeding proni Hong Kong to then ports to forward Mails for the Unitia Kingdom, I have thought it anowable to bring the suljeit under the consideration of the East India Company with a view to some arrangement being made in the
matter, for it appears to me that accounts might advantageously be opened betroeen Hong Kong and the Inchane Post Offic not only for the Letters addressed to the United Kingdom p

also to offord the benefit of optional payment of pestap on the local correspon= dence betioun that Colony and Incha

As regards the latter measure however,

complexity in the Accounts, that an uniform Indian rate should be tadion and accounted for by the Postincester at
Hong Kong, or that each office should ectain

I have mach a suggestion to this effect to the East Indice Company; and I will communicate with your Lordships further on this point whin I shall have received a reply from the Corest of Dreitin on the subject.
Iles to state that I have approved of the arrangements propond by Sir Henry Poftenjer for the receipt and

Consular Ports in China; and I have only further to add that His Excellency having been pleased to grant the continue = ance of the Establishment hitherto comploya in the Post Office at Hory Kory, I presume, as the precise &xtent of that Establishment

With reference to our two former communications of the 17th December last, on the past measures respecting the disposal of Land at Hong Hong, We have the honor to report for Lord Stanley's information that after Giving our best consideration to the dulyject, we do not see any better mode of proceding for the future than to follow out the same

We would recommend that whenever it is thought proper by the Governor to dispose of any lands, they
thould be exposed to Auction, and that
they should not be parted with in
perpetuity nor for a price to be at
cuce paid down, but that the
biddings should be

such term of years as the Governor
may fix, not exceeding 75 years.
We think that in the present uncertainity
of the permanent value of Land at Hong Kong, it should be left to the discretion of the Governor to

In the case of all Lands

Whether or not to have fixed periodical sales irrespective of the existence of any previous applicants, is 2 question to which it may be well to draw the Governor's attention,
but one upon which it does not

There appears however, to his Lordship no
difficulty
in your opening accounts with the larger Public Departments in the Seland, according to the

found be most convenient, and the various

BATH MECHANICAL SURGERY, KINGSTON HOUSE, ABBEY CHURCHYARD.
(ESTABLISHED 1799.)
MOODY AND BELL,
435
✅ SURGEON MECHANISTS TO THE BATH UNITED AND BATH GENERAL HOSPITALS,
THE CHELTENHAM INFIRMARY, &c.
Inform the Public that, after long serious attention, and very extensive experience, they have ultimately succeeded in forming the CELEBRATED BATH MECHANICAL SURGICAL ESTABLISHMENT, not excelled by any in the kingdom, for the Manufacture of Every species of Apparatus and Bandage, calculated for the relief of the Human Frame, and every kind of Mechanical Invention for the Restoration and Preservation of Health required for domestic use or Medical practice. CURVATURE OF THE SPINE.
They particularly recommend their greatly improved Apparatus, which is so adapted to the shape as to give every supporting assis- tance in Spinal Affections, and to rectify all Curvature of the Spine, with comfort and ease to the wearer; and so constructed as not to be seen by other persons.
INCLINED PLANES, INVALID BEDSTEADS, FOOTSTOOLS FOR CONTRACTIONS, &c.
A Large Assortment of Back-Boards and Collars, Dumb-Bells, Mudge's and other Inhalers, Medicine Spoons, Nipple Shields and Teats, Arm Slings, Eye Shades, Rolling Bandages, Artificial Calves, for small or wasted Legs, Patent Renovaters, or Electrical friction Gloves and Belts.
FRENCH, SPRING, AND OTHER CRUTCHES, ON IMPROVED PRINCIPLES.
INCURVATION OF THE LIMBS, AND CLUB FEET.
In every case of deviation from the proper line of structure, the Apparatus is simple in its construction, worn without the least inconvenience as to pressure, and capable of progressive adjustment, till the incurvation is entirely corrected. CORK AND WOODEN LEGS, ARTIFICIAL ARMS, HANDS, &c.
HERNIA, OR RUPTURE,
All kinds of Patent Self-Adjusting & Elastic Spring Trusses, to which important subject, they have directed great attention. In this department they believe their experience has not been exceeded by any house in the kingdom. In these cases they meet with the greatest success, many thousands of all ages, especially infants, having been cured and relieved. They particularly recommend their improved Truss, which can easily be regulated to give the greatest possible support, and is worn without the slightest inconvenience, enabling the wearer to indulge with ease, and safety in every requisite exercise.
•
PROLAPSUS ANI AND UTERI
In every instance they have removed the oppressive sensations resulting from this distressing malady, and have lately succeeded most completely' in a very important case of more than 20 years standing, in the instance of a gentleman of this city, who has kindly permitted a reference.-A third edition of this case (to which are added several letters received from other sufferers testifying the great benefit they also have experienced from adopting the same means of relief) is published, and may be obtained at their Establishment.
SUSPENSORIES, OR RIDING TRUSSES, LACED STOCKINGS, KNEE, ANKLE BANDAGES,
& MADE OF ELASTIC SPRINGS,
And also of the newly invented Patent India Rubber, which afford regular and necessary support either in weakness, or a varicose state of the veins, and admit of the natural action of the muscles. ELASTIC and PLAIN BANDAGES of every description; HUNTING BELTS, STRAIGHT WAISTCOATS, &c.
LADIES' ELASTIC SUPPORTING BANDAGES.
So highly necessary before and after Accouchement; for general Abdominal Weakness and UMBILICAL HERNIA, or NAVEL RUP- The distinguished preference this bandage receives from the most eminent members of the Medical Profession, and the numerous instances of its successful effects, are ample proof of its superior merit.
TURE.
Improved STOMACH PUMP, for Extracting Poison, and for administering Enemas, Breast Pump, &c.
PESSARIES, CATHETERS, BOUGIES, AND SYRINGES OF ALL DESCRIPTIONS.
SURGICAL INSTRUMENTS, CUPPING APPARATUS, SPLINTS, APOTHECARIES' SCALES, EAR CORNETS, &c. PATENT INJECTION, OR LAVEMENT APPARATUS,
OF THE LATEST IMPROVEMENTS, FROM THE PATENTEES.
The use of which is highly patronised by the Faculty for the removal of Costiveness, Bilious Head-aches, Indigestion, &c., by the use of a basin of warm water only. These instruments are so simple in their construction that Invalids and Females use them without assistance, and ought, as expressed by the late Dr. Baillie, "to be in the possession of every family."
THE APERITIVE FOUNTAIN
Is a small Apparatus which causes a little water to act on the bowels as efficiently as a dose of medicine (but in a much more speedy and agreeable manner), and consequently relieves those disorders of the stomach, head, and nerves, which are produced by costive- nass, without the injurious effects that result from the frequent use of purgatives. Having been constructed for general convenience, no assistance is required by the most timid, and it may be concealed when filled in a pocket or Lady's reticule.
INDIA RUBBER URINARIES,
Affording salutary relief to those afflicted with this very troublesome complaint, rendering it unnecessary to refrain from customary amusement, or social enjoyment.
CORNETS, INDIA RUBBER TUBES, and all other TRUMPETS for DEAFNESS,
To those who suffer from Deafness, these instruments must afford infinite relief, as it enables a deaf person to carry on a conver- sation without inconvenience to the party conversing with him. MEDICAL ELECTRICITY AND GALVANISM,
From powerful Electrical & Galvanic Apparatus, by which they are enabled to employ these important agents to the greatest advantage. ELECTRICAL APPARATUS. SLIPPER, HIP, VAPOUR, AND SHOWER BATHS LET ON HIRE.
SURGICAL INSTRUMENTS GROUND, AND ALL KINDS OF INJECTING MACHINES REPAIRED. AGENTS FOR READ'S PATENT ENEMA SYRINGES, THE CLYSMADUCT, DR. ARNOTT'S HYDROSTATIC Bed, &c. N. B. The Pamphlet on Prolapsus Ani and Uteri, and ample directions for measuring generally, forwarded post free, on application. Hospitals, Poor-law-Unions, and Public Societies supplied with Trusses, &c., at low prices.
