PREFACE.

CONSIDERABLE exertions have been made to bring out the present, or Sixth Annual edition of the Chronicle & Directory as soon after the commencement of the year as possible, and the publisher has the satisfaction of placing it in the hands of Subscribers at a much earlier date than that at which it has usually been produced. This result has been accomplished in spite of the fact that the sweeping changes of the last twelve months have greatly enhanced the difficulty of correcting the various lists of Foreign Residents and Mercantile Firms. In revising these lists the work of eliminating former residents, who have left China, has been even more troublesome than that of adding the names of new arrivals. The lists extend over a smaller number of pages than they covered last year, but it must not be supposed that they are less accurate on that account. On the contrary, they reach a far closer approxima- tion to perfect accuracy than they have ever attained before.

　　　　　In addition to the usual lists it will be observed that one more, the utility of which is obvious, has been compiled this year. This is a list of over Five Hundred Chinese Hongs in Hongkong, all doing business with Foreigners. These Hongs have been classified in accordance with their various specialités, and the leading native Houses, engaged in each kind of Trade, are thus presented at one view.

In compliance with a wish expressed by a considerable number of Subscribers, the publisher has brought out the Directory this year in two separate forms. The Directory proper is published by itself at $3; and the complete Volume, including all the valuable records which have been accumulated during the last six years, besides the additional tables and information relating to the current year, at $5. Although the reception which has been accorded to the publication in its complete form shows that the value of the "Chronicle" has been appreciated, there are no doubt many persons desirous of possessing a copy of the "Directory," who are yet unwilling to pay the full price of the entire Volume. To meet their requirements the new arrangement has been adopted.

The publication of the Directory has been delayed a day or two in order that the new mail Time Tables might be inserted. These tables, which have but just been received in Hongkong, show the arrangements which have been made under the new contract with the P. and O. S. N. Co.

　　　　　The firm establishment of the work in public favor renders it unnecessary to reiterate the claims which it may now fairly make to the support of foreign Mer- cantile communities in China and Japan.

　　　　　　The flood tide, when regular (which is seldom), ruas round Cabreta Point towards the town of Macas; but a little outside of the Point it sets along the land to the north, across the bay, until it meets the tide from Capsing-moon (of Kapshui-moon, the swift water passage) above Lintin, when it flows in a direct channel towards the Bogue. The velocity of the flood tide in Macao Roads is about 24 miles in the north-east monsoon and moderate weather; but when it blows strong from the northward there is no apparent flood. The ebb then runs at the rate of 3 to 34 and 4 miles when the water is falling by the land. The ebb tide sets out from the town of Macao much in the same way as the food comes in, with the difference of runding a little more to the westward along the shore, before it takes the southerly direction: the later part of this tile is the sefore the best time for boats to start for Lintin or Caston, with a contrary wind, as they then get out far enough to have all the food to work to the northward with.

　　　　　　The tides at Lintin rus noch and south, or nearly so, The velocity of the cbb, in the mortit-cast monssou, when blowing strong, is much the same as in Macao Hods but there is always a perceptible flood of 1 or 14 miles. During the height of the south- west monsoon, the ebb runs at times at the rate of 6 and 61⁄2 mães, after heavy rains; at that season the floods are very weak.

CHINESE WEIGHTS AND MEASURES.

MONIES.-Accounts are kopi at Canto 1 in frels, mace, cunduriaes, and cash; the tas being divided into 10 mace, 13) candariacs, or 1,80 cash. There is but one kind > money made in China, enlled cash, which is not coined, but east, and which is only used for small payments; it is composed of six parts of copper and four of lead; it is round, marked on one side, and rather razvod at the edges, with a square hole in the middle, These picces are commonly carried liko beads, on a string of wire, A tack of of fines ver should be worth 1,000 cash: but, on account of their convenience for common use, their price is sometimes so much raised that only 750 cash are given for the tael.

Foreign coms, however, circalate here, particularly Spanish dollars; and for small change they are cut into very exhot proportions, but allerwards weighed ; for which pur-

• The Pool ceases rising at this hour, but the stream in the middl' the river runs up a considerable time longer.-Horsbury.

CHINESE WEIGHTS AND MEASURES.

pose merchants generally carry scales, called dotchin, made somewhat after the plan of the English steelyards.

　　　　　The tarl used to be reckoned at 6s. 8d. sterling in the books of the East India Company; but its value varies, and is generally computed according to the price paid per ounce for Spanish dollars in London. The tables given for this proportional valué may be calculated in pence sterling, by the multiplier 1,208. Thus, if the price of the Spanish dollars be 60d, per ounce, the value of the tael will be 60 × 1,208 72-48d.; if at 60d., the value of the tael will be 79-728d.; and for any other price in the same proportion.

FINENESS OF GOLD AND SILVER.-The fineness of gold and silver is expressed by dividing the weight into 100 parts, called toques, or touch; similar to the modern practice of France. Thus, if an ingot be 93 touch, it is understood to contain 7 parts of alloy and 93 of pure metal, making in the whole 100.

The fineness of the precious metals, expressed in these decimal proportions, may be converted into English proportions by the following analogies:-Suppose gold is 99-66 touch, say, as 100: 9166: ; 12: 11, the standard, and cice versa; and to convert standard silver into touch, say, as 240: 222: : 100; 92:5, the touch of sterling silver. Pure gold or silver without alloy is called by the Chinese sycce; and sometimes when of less purity the metal is accepted as sycee.

　　　　　SILVER INGOTS are used as money, and weigh from half a tael to 100 taels, their value being determined by their weight. These ingots are of the best sort of silver; that is, about 94 touch.

　　　　　GOLD INCOTS.-Gold is not considered as money, but as merchandise; it is sold in regular ingots of a determined weight, which the English call shoes of gold; the largest of these weigh 10 taels cach; and the gold is reckoned 94 touch, though it may be only

92 or 93.

To bring ounces into taels, divide the ounces by 1.208.

　　　　　WEIGHTS.-Gold and silver are weighed by catty of 16 taels; the tael is divided into 10 mace, 100 candarines, or 1,000 cash. 100 taels are reckoned to weigh 120 oz. 16 dwts. Troy, which makes the tacl equal to 579-8 English grains, or 37-566 grammes.

The principal weights for merchandise are the picul, the eatty, and the tael; the picul being divided into 100 catties, or 1,600 taels.

Hence the picul weighs 60:472 kilogrammes, or 162 lbs. 0 oz. 8 dwts. 13 grs. Troy.

The above weights are sometimes otherwise denominated, especially by the natives; thus, the catty is called gin; the tael, lyang: the mace, tehen; the candarine, fivan; and

the cash, lis.

　　　　　There are no commercial measures in China, as all dry goods and liquids are sold by weight. In delivering a cargo English weights are used, and afterwards turned into Chinese piculs and catties.

LONG MEASURE.-That used in China is the covid or cobre; it is divided into 10 punts, and is equal to 0-3713 metres, or 14.625 English inches.

The Chinese have four different measures answering to the foot, viz. :-

Metres. Eng. inches.

THE CALENDAR FOR 1868.

Adjustment of the Calendar.

　　　　　Julius Cæsar was the first to attempt to adjust the length of the year with any degree of accuracy, and fixed it at 365 days 6 hours; introducing a day every fourth year (called Leap Year), which accordingly consists of 366 days, while the three others have only 365 days each.

From him it was called the Julian Year, and it continued in general use till the year 1582, when Pope Gregory XIII. undertook to rectify the error which then existed between the Julian year of 365 days and the solar year of 365-24222013 days. At that time the difference amounted to ten days; he accordingly commanded the ten days between the 4th and 15th October in that year to be struck out, so that the 5th day was called the 15th. This alteration has been introduced throughout Europe, except in Russia and by the Greek Church, and the year was afterwards called the Gregorian Year, or New Style. In England the method of reckoning after the New Style was not admitted into the Calendar till the year 1752, when the error amounted to nearly eleven days, which were taken from the month of September, by calling the 3rd of that month the 14th, and it was settled by Act of Parliament (24 Geo. II., 1751), that the years 1800, 1900, 2100 2200, 2300, and every hundredth year of our Lord which shall happen in time to com shall be computed as each consisting of 365 days only, excepting every fourth hundredth year, whereof the year 2000 should be the first.

　　　　　　By the same Act of Parliament the Legal beginning of the year was changed from the 25th of March to the 1st of January, so that the succeeding months of January, February, and March, up to the 24th day, which by the Old Style would have been reckoned part of the year 1762, were accounted as the three first months of 1763, which is the reason we sometimes meet with such a date as:-

March 10th, 1774-75.

That is, according to the Old Style, it is 1774, according to the New 1775.

....6581 The Solar Cycle, or Cycle of the Sun, is a period of 28 years, which after all the Dominical letters return in the same order as they did during the 28 years before. The first year of the Christian Era is the tenth of this Cycle.

The Lunar Cycle, or Cycle of the Moon, commonly called the Golden number, and sometimes the Metonic Cycle (from Metou, an Athenian philosopher, who invented it about 432 years before the Birth of Christ), is a revolution of 19 years, in which time the conjunctions, oppositious, and other aspects of the Moon are within an hour and a half of being the same as they were on the same days of the mouths 19 years before. Prime, or Golden number, is the number of years clapsed in this Cycle. Before the Birth of Christ two years of this Cycle had elapsed.

The

The Roman indiction is a period of 15 years, and used by the Romans for the time of taxing their provinces. Three years of one of these Cycles had elapsed before the Birth of Christ.

　　　　　The Julian period contains 7989 years, and arises from multiplying together 28, 19, and 15, being the Cycles of the Sun, Moon, and Indiction. This was contrived by Joseph Juste Scaliger, in 1583, for Chronological purposes, and is assumed as a fixed era in calculations by all Astronomers and Chronologers throughout the Christian world. beginning is placed 710 years before the usual date of the creation of the world, or 4714 before the commencement of the Christian era.

NATIVE FESTIVALS, FASTS, AND OBSERVANCES.

CHINESE.

JULAI BUDHA.-Ancient festival of the Prince and his officers going on the annual

Also of the Julai Budha.-Eleventh moon, eighth day.

　　　　　SIE-TSAU.The God of the Furnace ascends to heaven to report upon the conduct of the family to the Perfect August Shangti; hence people pay their adorations to that deity, and sie-tsau, "thank the furnace.' In some parts of China, this Shangti is regarded as the Supreme God in the Chinese pantheon, and it is supposed the other deities derive their power and position from him. This popular supersitition, though not peculiar to any class, seems most closely allied to the Táu sect.-Twelfth moon, twenty- fourth day.

DECENSUS.-All the gods descend to the earth.-Twelfth moon, twenty-ninth day. YUEN TAN-Yuen tán, the first morning, or new-year's day. The period of new- year is almost the only time of universal holiday in China. Other times and seasons are regarded only by a few, or by particular classes, but the new-year is accompanied with a general cessation from business. The officer, the merchant, and the labourer, all equally desist from work, and zealously engage in visiting and feasting-occasionally making offerings at the temples of those deities whose peculiar aid they wish to implore. Government offices are nominally closed for about ten days before, and twenty days after new-year; during which period none but very important business is transacted. On the last evening of the old-year, all tradesmen's bills and small debts are paid, and inability to pass this time of settlement injures a man's credit, and usually resuns in insolvency : while, too, the custom, by compelling an annual settlement of accounts, prevents many failures. This is perhaps the reason why it is called chu seil, "the evening of dismissal."

-First moon, First day.

CHE TA-YUEN-SHWAI; a deified warrior.-First moon, second day,

TING KWANG.--Ting kwang, a Budhist sage, born.-First moon, sixth day.

JIN J.-Jin jih, or man-day.' The first ten days of the year are named after various animals, "fowl-day,"-" dog-day," &c., of which the seventh, "man-day," is the greatest. Some persons have supposed there is an obscure or ancient reference in these days to the order followed at the creation.-First moon, seventh day.

　　　　　YCH-HWANG,--Shangti's birthday; this deity is the highest of the Tau sect, and more than any other answers, in the Chinese mythology, to the Jupiter of the Greeks.- First moon, ninth day.

　　　　　WU TU SHING-KIUN.-Five lares of the household; they are this day placed on the ground in various quarters of the house for its protection; and the ceremony is repeated on the tenth of the four following months.-First moon, tenth day.

　　　　　LEICHUN.-Leih-chun term, or festival of Spring. This day, the period of the sun reaching the 15th degree in Aquarius, is one of the chief days of the Chinese calender, and is celebrated with great pomp as well by the government as by the people. In every capital city there are made, at this period, two clay images of a man and a buffalo. The day previous to the festival, the chifu, or chief city magistrate, goes out to ying chun, "meet the spring," on which occasion children are carried about on men's shoulders, each vying with his neighbour in the gorgeousness and fancifulness of the children's dresses. The following day, being the day of the festival, the prefect again appears as the Priest of Spring, in which capacity he is, for the day, the first man in the province. Hence the chief officers do not move from home on this day. After he has struck the buffalo with a whip two or three times, in token of commencing the labours of agriculture, the popu- lace then stone the image till they break it in picces, and many of them carry off pieces

of the clay to put on their fields, under the impression that a better crop will thereby be obtained. The festivities continue ten days in some parts of the country, but the degree of ceremony attending this festival differs greatly in different parts of China; in Canton it is not attended with much display. First moon, eleventh day.

SHAI-TANG, OR FEAST OF LANTERNS.-Slmi-tang, or Feast of Lanterns, so called by Europeans. At night all classes illuminate the temples, shops, &c., with fanciful lanterns, and assemble at convivial parties, called lantern feasts. Offerings of lanterns are made at the temples of the Gods. This festival is observed at Canton by merely hanging a lantern before the shop or house.. First moon, fifteenth day.

CHANG-CHUN.-Chang-chun, a celebrated physician, born: deified by the Tausts.

His shrine is placed in doctors' shops.-First moon, nineteenth day.

　　　　　　　SHEN-TSAI-TUNGTsz'.-Two images of children are placed at the back of dwellings for protecting them, and increasing the prosperity of the inmates; they are called Shentsai tungtsz'.-First moon, twentieth day.

TUTI.-The household gods born. These are called Tu-ti, and also Fu-shin, gods of happiness; they include all classes of household deities. At this period plays are performed at the public offices, and in the streets; while rockets and other fireworks are let off.-Second moon, second day.

　　　　　　　LAUKIUS.-Laukiun, born. Laukiun, called also Lautsz', an ancient sage, and the founder of the Tau sect, was partly contemporary with Confucius.

The principal deities of the Tau sect are San-tsing, three pure ones,-Shangti, a supreme ruler, subordinate to those three, and an infinity of inferior gods and deified men.-Second moon, fifteenth day.

　　　　　　　KWANYIN.-Kwanyin's birthday; she is often called the goddess of mercy, and is the great goddess of the Budhists. There are supposed to be more temples erected to this idol in the city of Canton than to any other.-Second moon, ninteenth day.

　　　　　　　HIVEN-TIEN SHIN-FU.-Hiuen-tien shin-fu, birthday of the father of the Shangti of the Sombre Heavens; a god of the Tau sect. Second moon, twenty-fifth day.

　　　　　　　AGRICULTURAL CEREMONY.-Ûn a fortunate day in the third moon, the grand agricultural ceremony is performed at Peking by the Emperor and his ministers, and in all the provinces by the head officers of the government. The ceremony consists in holding a plough, highly ornamented, which is kept for the purpose, while the bullock which drags it is led over a given space. The rule is that the Emperor ploughs three furrows; the prinees five; and the high ministers, nine. These furrows are, however, so very short, that the later monarchs of the present dynasty have altered the ancient rule laid down by the predecessors of Confucius ploughing four furrows, and returning again over the ground. The ceremony finished, the Emperor and his ministers repair to the terrace for inspecting the agricultural labours; and remain till the whole field has been ploughed by husbandmen. The Emperor often appoints a proxy.

　　　　　　　HIUEN-TIEN SHANGTI.-Hinen-tien Shangti, the Supreme Ruler of the Sombre Heavens; the festival of the second deity in the pantheon of Rationalists. He is also usually called Pethi, god of the North Pole, and his festival is very generally observed.- Third moon, third day.

　　　　　　　TSING-MING. Tsing-ming term.-Festival of the tombs. At this period of the year the Chinese everywhere repair to the tombs with offerings of food, which after the spirits of the deseased have fed on the spiritual portion, they themselves partake of. The weather at this time being usually fine, the weeds and dirt are cleared away from the tombs and any repairs requisite in the brickwork are made. From this custom, the rite is often

　　　　HAU-TI NIANG-NIANG.-Hau-ti Niang-niang, the goddess of earth.--Third moon, eighteenth day.

　　　　TIEN-HAU.-Tien-hau, or the Queen of Heaven, born. This female deity was a native of Fuhkien; and has become the goddess of sailors, who are mostly of that province. She corresponds in many respects to the Amphitrite of the Greeks, though some of her names and attributes seem to have been derived from the Virgin Mary. Her temples are numerous, and her worship is costly.-Third moon, twenty-third day.

Tsz'-SUN NIANG-NIANG, the goddess of children, worshipped by those who wish children.-Third moon, twenty-sixth day.

SAN-KIAI SHING-YE.-San-kiai Shing-yè, or Holy Lords of the three Borders; worshipped in the yards of the courts of houses to propitiate the powers of nature. Same day is the festival of the present Budha, Shihkia Jü-lái.-Fourth moon, eighth day.

　　　　NAN-KIH TA-TI. Nán-kih Tá-tí, the Great Ruler of the South Pole; a god of the Rationalists.-Fifth moon, first day.

　　　　TWANG-WU.--Festival of dragon boats, called in Chinese Twang-wá or Twáng-vúng, and also Tienchung. On this day many people race backwards and forwards in long harrow boats, which being painted and ornamented so as to resemble dragons, are called îangchuen, dragon boats. From the narrowness of the boats, and the numbers of persons on board, there being sometimes from sixty to seventy paddles, it not unfrequently happens that several of the boats break in two; so that the festivities seldom conclude without the loss of several lives. The magistrates endeavour to repress the ardour of the people by issuing their prohibitions, but the people are led on by the excitement. The races are attended by thousands, and rowers are inspirited by the sound of drums and pipes; these noises are supposed to terrify evil spirits and ward off disease; consequently the sports are attended with double zest when sickness prevails.

a platform being raised about four feet above the ground, the spectators all stand in the street in front; the expenses are paid by private subscription, usually of several merchants. Gentlemen have them also at their own houses; where in some instances there are substantial buildings erected for the performance of the players, and accommodation of persons invited to see the play. Even in this case, an open space is left for the free admission of the people. Almost all the theatrical performances of the Chinese are held on the birthday or festival of some god, and are therefore of a religious character. They are particularly numerous in honour of the God of Fire.-Also Kwan-shing Tai-ti, the Chinese God of War, died.

　　　　　　　TU-CHING-HWANG-TAN.-Festival of the Municipal Deity of the City, worshipped by officers and people; he might be termed the Palladium Deity, as he has a temple in every inwalled city in China.

　　　　　　　TI-TJANG-WANG. --A deified Budhist, worshipped for remission of sins.-Seventh moon, thirtieth day.

　　　　　　　　　AUTUMN FESTIVAL.-This festival continues from the first to the sixteenth of the moon, during which period families visit and feast with each other, and friends interchange presents of moon cakes. These are round white cakes, with figures of men and women painted on them; they derive their name from a legend of an Emperor of the Tang dynasty, who being led one night to the palace of the moon, saw there a large assemblage of female divinities, dancing and playing on instruments of music, on his return he instituted plays in commemoration of it.-Eighth moon, first day.

JEWISH.

The festivals of the Jews were held weekly, monthly, and yearly. Each seventh and fifteenth year, moreover, was kept with peculiar solemnities.

　　　　　　The weekly festival was the Sabbath, a day consecrated to rest and cheerful devotion. It was instituted when God rested, on the seventh day, from the work of Creation, and the precept was renewed to the Hebrews at Marah, ere yet the Decalogue had been given from Sinai. It was kept from sunset on Friday to sunset on Saturday,

　　　　　The monthly festival was held on the day of the new moon, or the first day of every month, which was proclaimed by sound of trumpet; the laws, however, did not oblige the people to rest on these days, though it appointed particular sacrifices.

　　　　　The Feasts of the Passover, of Pentecost, and of Tabernacles, were the three principal festivals observed under the law, and they were times of real joy and festivity. As all the male inhabitants throughout the country were required on these occasions to go up to Jerusalem, and the females also permitted to accompany them if they chose, the concourse was generally very great. These religious assemblies, besides comniemorating important events in their history, also subserved other important purposes. They kept them steadfast to their religion, by the view of ceremouies and the majesty of the divine service; they afforded the means of religious instruction, for the law of God was then real and explained; and they served, moreover, to renew the acquamtance and friendship of tribes and families, who from all parts of the country thus met three times in the year in the holy city.

　　　　　　The PASSOVER was instituted to commemorate the departure out of Egypt, because on the night preceding that departure, the destroying angel who slew the first-born of the Egyptians passed over the houses of the Hebrews, they being marked with the blood of the lamb, which for this reason was called the Paschal Lamb. It was celebrated on the fourteenth day of the first month of the ecclesiastical year (March), and lasted seven days. A lamb, or, if that could not be found, a kid, without blemish, was killed, roasted, and eaten with unleavened bread and bitter herb. The first Passover was eaten with their loins girded, their shoes on their feet, and their staves in their hands, that they might be in readiness for their journey, circumstances which were not observed in its celebration after the Exodus.

　　　　　　The Feast of PENTECOST, OF WEEKS, was celebrated on the fiftieth day after the Passover, and was a feast of thanksgiving to the Lord, wherein they acknowledged his dominion over their country and their labours, by offering to him two loaves, as the first fruits of all their harvests. It also commemorated the giving of the law from Mount Sinai, two years and fifty days after their departure from Egypt. The Hebrews counted seven weeks from the Passover, beginning on the second day of that solemnity, and hence called it the Feast of Weeks; but by the Christians it was called Pentecost, a name which signifies the Fiftieth Day. It was on the day of Pentecost that the Holy Spirit was poured out from the ascended Saviour upon his apostles, qualifying them with miraculous gifts for establishing the New Testament kingdom.

　　　　　　The Feast of TABERNACLES was instituted as a memorial of their fathers having dwelt in tents for forty years, during the passage through the wilderness. It was kept in the first month of the civil year (September), and lasted eight days, the first and seventh being the most solemn. During its continuance they lived in booths, tents, or arbours, constructed of the branches and leaves of trees. On the first day they cut down branches of the

MAHOMEDAN FESTIVALS, FASTS AND OBSERVANCES.

handsomest trees, with their fruits, which they carried in ceremony to the synagogue. Holding in their right hand a branch of palm-tree, of myrtle, and two of willow, tied together, and having in their left hand a citron and fruit, they waved them towards the four quarters of the world, singing songs and crying "Hosannah."

These were the three great Festivals at which all the males were required to go up to Jerusalem to worship. "Three times in a year shall all thy males appear before the Lord thy God in the place which he shall choose, in the Feast of Unleavened Bread, and in the Feast of Weeks, and in the Feast of Tabernacles."-(Deut. xvi., 16; Ex. xxxiv., 23.)

　　　　　The Feast of TRUMPETS was celebrated on the first day of their civil year (September), its commencement being proclaimed by sound of trumpet, and the day was kept solemn, all business being forbidden, and certain sacrifices appointed to be offered.

　　　　　There are also two other feasts, though not appointed by law, which require notice, as they are often mentioned in Jewish history. The feast of DEDICATION was appointed to celebrate the re-establishment of Divine worship in Jerusalem, after Antiochus Epiphanes had been vanquished and the temple purified. It is observed for eight days, from the 25th of the third month (November), and is also called the Feast of Lights, from the illumina- tions which the Jews make during these days in their house. Poorin, or the feast of Esther, falls on the 14th and 15th of the sixth month (February), and commemorates the defeat of Haman. On these days they give alms to the poor and presents to their friends.

The 10th of the first month of the civil year is the day of ATONEMENT, on which they observe a fast from evening, and bewail their sins. Other fasts were also instituted in later times, connected with the siege of Jerusalem (10th of tenth month), the capture of the city (17th of the fourth month), the burning of the temple (9th of the fifth month), and the death of Gedaliah (3rd of the seventh month) of the Ecclesiatical year.

　　　　　Every seventh year was to the Jews a Sabbatical year; and we find that Alexander the Great granted them an exemption from tribute on that year.

　　　　　After seven weeks or Sabbaths of years, that is, after seven times seven years, the great Festival of the JUBILEE was celebrated; and during the whole year they neither sowed nor reaped. On this fiftieth year every one resumed possession of his inheritance, whether it were sold, mortgaged, or alienated in any way, and Hebrew slaves of every description were set free, with their wives and children. Houses and edifices in walled towns were the only kind of property that did not return to the original owner in the year of the Jubilee.

MAHOMEDAN.

　　　　　RAMAZAN.-This Mahomedan fast commences each day throughout the month of this name, when the first streak of light borders the eastern horison, and continues until the stars are clearly discerned in the heavens. During the whole period not the slightest particle of food, not one single drop of water, nor any other liquid, passes the lips from the dawn till the appearance of the stars in the evening. Each day during the fast is passed in occasional prayer, besides the usual namaz, and in reading the Koran or lives of the prophets. The first fast is broken by a cooling draught, called Dandhi, the same which is used in fevers. It is composed of the lettuce, cucumber, and melon, with coriander, well pounded, and afterwards diluted with cold water; rose water, sugar, syrup of pomegranate, and kurat, are also added; the whole preparation is made in the zenana, and then drunk by basins-full by all true Rozedhars. Plain boiled rice, with dhi (sour crud) and sugar, form the first morning's repast of the Eed; dried dates are eaten with it in remembrance of the prophet's family, whose greatest luxury was supposed to be the date of Arabia. The conclusion of the month Ramazan is celebrated as an Eedor festival, and is hailed with great rejoicing and merriment, as a sort of reward for their severe abstinence. In every house the same dainties are provided, every amusement that can be

• thought of is indulged in: the nach women in the apartments of the gentlemen, and the domini in those of the women are in great request, on the last day of the Ramazan, when the matron of the mansion sits in state to receive nazars from inferiors, and to grant favours to others.-11th March.

MAHOMEDAN FESTIVALS, FASTS, AND OBSERVANCES.

39.

　　　　　　EED.-The followers of Mahomed claim to be the descendants of Abraham through his son Ishmael, who, they aver, was chosen as the offering to the Almighty, and not Isaac, thus differing from the Jews and Christians, grounding their assertions on traditions which they deem conclusive evidence on the subject, in opposition to the authority of the Bible. The offering thus made is aunually commemorated by the sacrifice of animals. such as camels, sheep, goats, kids, or lambs, according to each person's means, which answer the double purpose of honouring the memory of Abraham and Ishmael, and also assisting as a meal in time of need. The followers of Mahomed believe that the entrance to Paradise is guarded by a bridge as narrow as a scythe, or some such equally sharp instrument, affording a precarious and unstable footing. To enable them, therefore, to pass without danger, they believe that the animals they have sacrificed at the feast of Eed will be present to lend their aid to help them over in safety.-12th March.

　　　　　　EED KORBAN.In commemoration of Abraham offering up Ishmael; and this is the day on which they annually perform the Haj at Mecca.-18th May.

MOHARRAM.-A celebrated mourning festival, held annually in remembrance of the first martyrs of the Mussalmans-Hassain and Hossein-the two sons of Fatima and Ali, from whom the whole race of Syads have descended. Hassain was poisoned by an emissary of the usurping Xelipha, and Hossein, the last victim of the decendants of the prophet's family, to the King Yazid's fury, suffering a cruel death after the most severe trials on the plain of Kurbala, on the tenth day of the Arabian month Moharram, the anniversary of which catastrophe is solemnised with the most devoted zeal. Hassain and Hossein were, as above stated, the two sons of Ali, by his cousin Fatima, the daughter of Mahommed, and after the murder of their father by the contrivances of the Kalipha, they with their families removed from Shawn, the capital, to Medina. After residing there for several years, the people of Shawn, being tired of King Yazid's tyrannical rule, invited Hossein to return to the capital, and assume his lawful right as Imam (leader of the faithful.) Before accepting this invitation, Hossein sent Moslem, his cousin, as a messenger to report the true state of affairs to him; but on his arrival with his two sons at Shawn, he was seized by order of King Yazid, and cast from a precipice, and his two sons were barbarously murdered, for the sake of the reward offered for their heads. This forms the subjects of the ten days' bewailing during the Moharram. The Mahomedans are divided into distinct sects, called the Shiaa, and the Sunias. The former regard Ali and his descendants to be the lawful leaders after Mahomed, and the latter the Kaliphas, as Abubakr, Omar, &c., hence quarrels, animosities, and dislikes are hoarded up to be avenged during the Moharram. The festival begins on the first day of the moon (Moharram). Tazias (a term signifying grief, and applied to a representation of the mausoleum erected over the remains of Imam Hossein at Kurbala), made of ivory, ebony, sandalwood, cedar, and some wrought in silver filigree, and indeed of every variety of material, from pure silver to bamboo and paper, according to the rank and wealth of the party, are exhibited in every direction, and conveyed in procession through the streets. Mourning assemblies are held morning and evening, in the Imambares, during the Moharram, and the head priest or preacher recites a subject for each day's service, from the various books composed on the subject, descriptive of the lives and sufferings of Hassain and Hossein. The Marsiah, a poetical composition of great merit, and embracing the whole of the subject they commemorate, is chaunted with great effect; the names of their lawful leaders are recounted with blessings, and that of the usurpers, the Kaliphas, with curses.

Then comes the procession of Dhal Dhal-Hossein's horse, killed at Kurbala, beautifully caparisoned; and finally the Tazias are deposited with funeral rites in the public burial grounds, when the Moharram cases. The Tabut is a slight frame- work of bamboo, in the shape of a mausoleum, covered and ornamented with coloured paper and tinsel. They vary considerably in size and appearance, according to the taste and ability of those who build them. Before these Tabuts incense is burned, and various other rites are performed. The Tabuts, it is said, are peculiar to India. They are not mentioned in the Koran, nor are they built by the inhabitants of Persia and Arabia. Many Mahomedans regard them with strong disapprobation. In Bombay the larger portion of the Mahomedans unite in building the Tabuts. These are taken out, and,

　　　accompanied with music, carried in procession through the Bhendy Bazaar, from mid- night of the ninth until three o'clock of the morning of the tenth day, and from two to six o'clock on the afternoon of the same day, on their way to the beach in Back Bay, where the greater part of the Tabuts, after being stripped of whatever is of value, are rast into the sea.

The practice of building Tabuts seems to be losing ground in Bombay, a portion of those, who formerly united in this, having adopted the views of those opposed to such things. The Indian Mahomedans, who do not unite in building the Tabuis, are accustomed to go on this occasion to the mosques for five successive evenings, to listen to the account of the death of Hossein. Their demonstrations of grief, however, are not equal to those of the Moguls and Persians, who, while listening to the recital, weep aloud, and smite violently upon their breasts, These are accustomed to meet at the Masjid, in Mirza Mahoniod Ali Khan Street, Bombay. In Bombay there is strictly speaking no representation of the battle which was fought previous to the death of Hossein. `Some two or three horsemen, bearing flags, enter the large yard adjoining the Imambara with loud wailings, and are followed by two horses caparisoned, to represent those which were for the use of the fallen Hossein. One person on horseback, with a long sword apparently run through the head, and covered with blood, joins in the wailings. A female infant, in deep mourning, sitting at the door of a small mausoleum, which is carried on the shoulders of men, constantly casts ashes or cut-straw upon her head, in token of grief. These pass round in a circle, accompanied or followed by a company on foot, who beat upon their breasts, crying, "Hai Hossein! Hai Hossein!" Sometimes, a person represented in a dying state, his body covered with wounds and blood, and darts and daggers run into it, is carried about in procession. It would seem that this festival is now celebrated with less effort and effect than formerly. It is apparently becoming more and more a farce. The grief is doubtless for the most part feigned. The decline of the peculiar zeal of the Mahomedans must necessarily lead them to enter into these with less spirit. -17th June.

PARSEE.

The Parsees of India are divided into two sects, - the "Shabinshabis" or Rasmis and the "Kudmis or "Churigars," the former of whom constitute the larger portion o the race.

　　　　　　　　This division originated only about a hundred and fifty years ago, when a learned Persian priest, named Jamasp, arrived in India, and found that his co-r-ligionists differed from their brethren of Iran in their calculation of time by a full month, and in other minor points relating to their "Liturgy." Serious disputes arose in consequence, which ended in the formation of the two sects, the Shahinshahis adhering to their own views, and the Kudmis adopting the opinions imported by Jamasp-thus agreeing with their Persian brethren. Notwithstanding this division, no estrangement cxists between them in their social intercourse. The difference lies only in their computation of time, and in some slight variations in the forms of prayer. Intermarriage is allowed, as well as admission to each other's places of worship.

　　　　　The festivals of the Parsees are celebrated with little or no outward pomp. Their holidays are mostly occupied in prayers in the morning, and festivities and rejoicings during the rest of the day. Some of their religious institutions are traced to a very ancient period. The festival of the Nowroz dates from upwards of three thousand years before Christ, and is kept to this day by most of the nations of Western Asia, notwith- standing their differences of creed. The Emperor Akbar adopted the "Nowroz" and fourteen other festivals of the Parsecs, for the observances of those who were attached to his favourite doctrines of the "Hahi faith," or the " Religion of God," which he fruitlessly endeavoured to introduce among the people.

　　　　　PAPETI, OR NEW YEAR'S DAY.-Among the festivals observed by the Parsees, the first and universally kept, is the Papeti, or new year's day. This day is celebrated in honour of Yezdezerd, the last King of the Sassanid dynasty, who was dethroned by Kalif Omar about A.D. 640. The ancient Persians reckoned a new era from the accession of each successive monarch, and as Yezdezerd had no successor, the date of his accession to the throne has been brought down to the present time, thus making their current year 1234-33.

PARSEE FESTIVALS, FASTS, AND OBSERVANCES.

　　　　In their calculation of the year only 365 days are allowed; leap year is unknown to them, though there are records which prove that in every 120 years one month was added to make it correspond with the solar year. The year is divided into twelve months, of thirty days each, and five days, or "Gathas," as they are called, are added at the end to make up the deficiency. On these days the Parsees rise early, and dress themselves in new suits of clothes, and those piously disposed say their prayers in their private residences, or visit their friends and relatives, when the "Hama i-jur" or joining of hands is performed; this ceremony is a sort of greeting, corresponding to the European fashion of wishing each other a happy new year. Their friends and relations are invited to breakfast. The morning thus occupied, they spend the rest of the day in their country houses or clubs, where feasting, rejoicing, and nach-parties are kept up till a late hour. Alms are also given to the poor in the course of the day, and new suits of clothes are presented to ser- vants and dependents.

KHURDAD-SAL.The second of the Parsee festivals is the "Khurdad-Sal" day, or the anniversary of the birth of their prophet Zoroaster, who they say was born in the city of Reh, in the North of Persia, in the reign of Darius Hystapis, about 520 years before Christ. Heeren places the birth of this celebrated personage about 1,200 years anterior to this. The Parsees themselves differ as to the exact time of the birth of their prophet: a part of them fix the period of B.C. 389; others at B.C. 538. Religious ceremonies are performed in the morning by the women of the family and the priests, the men, as usual on such occasions, limiting themselves to private prayers.

AMURDAD-SAL.This holiday, which falls on the day immediately after the preceding festival, appears to have no origin in the books of the Parsecs. It is merely kept up as the continuation of the Khurdad-Sal;" no religious ceremonies are required, and the day is always spent in the enjoyment of epicurean pleasures.

FARURHARDIN JASAN.This day is set apart for the performance of ceremonies for the dead "Fararhar," meaning soul or spirit. The superstitious portion of the people attend on the hills at Chaopatty (Bombay), where their "dockmas" or "towers of silence" are situated, and there perform prayers for the dead, as if they had a better chance of being heard at that place on behalf of their deccased relations than in any other. This holiday is kept with some slight variations in other parts of India. The Parsees are enjoined by their religion to preserve the memory of their dead by annual religious ceremo- nies performed in the house; but such of their friends as die on long voyages or in unknown places, and the date of whose death cannot be positively ascertained, are, according to the terms of their religion, honoured by sacred rites on this day. The ceremony "consists' in a man or woman preparing small round pieces of baked bread, called daruns, which are put on a tray or other copper vessel, along with fruits and flowers, over which the priest performs the prayers of the Baj, or "Vaj," as it is called by M. Anquetil Du Perron in his "Zend Avesta." According to the translation published by this learned Frenchman, the Baj is an invocation of the names of the departed, and of such of the angels as have a direct control over the souls of the dead after their departure from this world. Prayers of this sort are still performed among the Hindus and the Mahomedans, and are not unknown in the Roman Catholic countries of Europe.

ARDEBEHIST-JASAN.-This festival, as its name implies, is maintained in honour of Ardebehist Amshaspand, the angel controlling the sacred fire, that element being one of the symbols of worship. The fire-temples are crowded on this day, sandalwood is offered to the sacred flame, and prayers offered to the Supreme Deity.

THE NOWROZ.-The fifth on the list is the celebrated Nowroz, called by some the Nowroz-i-Jamshid or the Nowroz-ì-Sultan, the King's day. This celebrated festival falls generally about the 21st day of March, and corresponds with our Vernal Equinox. This day is observed by the modern Persians, the Arabs, the Turks, and several other Asiatic nations for the computation of the solar year, and for state purposes, such as the collection of revenue, and the arrangements for the agricultural operations of the year. Eastern writers date the origin of this festival from the time of Jamshid, the third king of the Peshdadian dynasty of Persia. Jamshid is supposed by Bailly to have flourished 3,209 years before Christ; the Shah Namah celebrates him as the first prince of his race who

If we

introduced civilisation among mankind, and established the computation of time. are to believe the Persian writers, the exquisite bas-reliefs among the ruins of Persepolis, -still visible in beauty after a lapes of two thousand years,-are representations of the Court of Jamshid, more especially on the festival of the Nowroz. The sculptures at this place contain representations of the Courts of ancient Persia, with the long train of attendants bringing offerings to the feet of Monarchs; and, as the Nowroz is a sort of 露着 revenue settlement day, when the chiefs of different provinces lay their annual contributions before the throne, and are allowed audience with the monarch, the idea of a part of the Persepolitan bas-reliefs being a picture of some ancient king of Persia holding his court on the day of the Nowroz, does not appear to be without foundation. In Persia

this festival is kept for several days with unusual pomp by all the inhabitants, whether Mahomans or Parsees. In India it is simply a day of rejoicing.

AVA ARDUI SAR JASAN.-Ava, in the Zend text, is the name of the angel who presides over the sea, and this "Jasan," or festival, is held in his honour. The Parsees are required on this day to approach the sea shore, or any stream of water, and chant the Zend prayers, but owing to their long residence in India, they have borrowed many Hindu rites in the observance of this holiday, and offerings of sugar, cocoanuts, flowers, &c.. to the sea, are not uncommon: The better-informed portion of the community, however, do not join with their brethren in these superstitious acts. In Bombay a fair is held on the Esplanade in

honour of this festival.

ADAR JASAN. -Adar, another synonyme for fire, is the name by which the ninth month of the Parsee year is called. This is the most sacred of the twelve months, and the ninth day of that mouth is held in great respect and sanctity. On this day the fire temples are very much crowded, and offerings of sandalwood are made to the sacred flame, and money distributed among the priests.

　　　　　　Besides the above, the festivals of the Parsees are the Meher Jasan, the Barman Jasan, and a few others of less importance, all of which are partially observed.

SIAMESE MODE OF DIVIDING TIME.

The 24 hours of each day are divided into two equal parts. The day time is called WAN, (sound a as ▲ in WHAT). The night time K'u'n (the apostrophe denotes that the letter- before it is aspirated). The former uniformly being at 6 o'clock A.M.; the latter at 6 P M. The hours of the forenoon are numbered 1, 2, 3, &c., up to 6, or mid-day. The hours of the afternoon are designated by the same numbers. Time in the forenoon is called Pëda Ch'ow, (ë sounded as E in PREY): time afternoon, Pēla Bäi. The word denoting any hour in the day time is Mong; that for night time is Tööm. In expressing 9 A.M., they say, "Sám (third) Mong Ch'ow:' -3 P.M., Sám Mong Bäi," 9 P.M., "Sám Tööin."

The hours of the night are counted in succession from 1 to 12.

Six o'clock A.M.,

is the close of their twelfth hour of the night. Each night is divided into four watches of three hours each, and each watch is called a Yám.

Siamese months are designed to be lunar months; but they often vary from the moon a day or more. Each month is divided into two parts, viz. Kang K'UN (Waxing), and KANG RAAM (Waning). The former has always 15 days; but the latter has 15 days every 2nd, 4th, 6th, 8th, 10th, and 12th month; and 14th days every 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th, and 11th month. Hence, six of their months have 30 days, and six 29 days= 354 to 12 months, which wants about 11 days to make up a full solar year. To compensate for this, they have an intercalary mouth of 30 days, once in two or three years.

The years 1853, 1855, 1858, and 1861, were leap-years. By this plan there is still a loss of about three days in 19 years, which is supplied by adding a day to their 7th month from time to time, as their Brahmin astrologers see to be necessary, which they did for 1860.

　　　　　In writing the number of their Era, the name of each cycle, as it chances to be, is always given in the same connection.

Every Siamese in taught to remember carefully the name of each year of the cycle of 12, and by no means to forget the name of the particular year, moon, day of the

moon, and day of the week in which he was born. So that at any time, when he would count up the number of the years he has lived, he begins by repeating the name of the years in succession from the one that give him birth, until he comes back again to his birth-year, keeping tally with his fingers. Thus he counts on until he makes another cycle of twelve, more

or less, as the case may be in regard to his age. He can tell quite certainly whether his age is within the first cycle of 12, or the second, third, or fourth; but if he be upwards of 60 years old, he is liable to get bewildered in his reckoning, for the want of the habit of counting his years by the year of the Era in which he was born. This the Siamese never do.

　　　　　The Siamese sacred Era is reckoned from the time it is supposed Buddh died, which was 2,409 years at the full moon in May, 1866. This reckoning is never used except in their religious matters. It is denominated Põōtà Sákkácát (Era of Buddh). Their civil Era, called Choolá Sákkárát (little Era), as reckoned from the time when Pra Rooang, a Siamese king of great celebrity, established it, and that was 1227 full years in March, 1866. Siamese, in writing their dates, always show first the year of their Era; second the day of the week; third the day of the waxing or waning moon; fourth the number of the month; fifth the names of the year; and sixth the particular year of the cycle of 10. mode of showing the day of week, day of moon, and the mouth is very concise.

WHEREAS an Act of Parliament was passed in the Session of the Preamble, sixth and seventh years of Her Majesty's reign (chapter eighty) "for 6 & 7 Vict. 80. the better government of Her Majesty's subjects resorting to China":

　　　　　And whereas by that Act it was enacted (among other things) that it should be lawful for Her Majesty, by any Order or Orders made with the advice of Her Privy Council, to ordain for the government of Her Majesty's subjects being within the dominions of the Emperor of China, or being within any ship or vessel at a distance of not more than one hundred miles from the coast of China, any law or ordinance which to Her Majesty in Council might seem meet, as fully and effec- tually as any such law or ordinance could be made by Her Majesty in Council for the government of Her Majesty's subjects being within Her Majesty's Island of Hongkong:

And whereas another Act of Parliament was passed in the same 6 & 7 Viet e 90, Session (chapter ninety-four) "to remove doubts as to the exercise of power and jurisdiction by Her Majesty within divers countries and places out of Her Majesty's dominions and to render the same more effectual" (to which Act the expression The Foreign Jurisdiction Act when hereafter used in this Order refers) :

　　　　　And whereas by The Foreign Jurisdiction Act it was enacted (among other things) that it was and should be lawful for Her Majesty to hold exercise and enjoy any power or jurisdiction which Her Majesty then had or might at any time thereafter have within any country or place out of Her Majesty's dominions, in the same and as ample a manner as if Her Majesty had acquired such power or jurisdiction by the cession or conquest of territory:

~~And whereas Her Majesty has had and now has power and juris- diction in the dominions of the Emperor of China and in the dominions of the Tycoon of Japan:~~

　　　　　~~And whereas Her Majesty was pleased from time to time, by and with the advice of Her Privy Council, by Orders in Council of the~~

And whereas it has seemed to Her Majesty, by and with the advice of Her Privy Council, to be expedient at the present time to revise the provisions of the said Orders, and to ordain further and other laws and ordinances for the better government of Her Majesty's subjects being within the dominions of the Emperor of China, or being within such ships or vessels as aforesaid, and to make further and other provision for the due exercise of Her Majesty's power and jurisdiction aforesaid and particularly for the more regular and efficient administration of justice among Her Majesty's subjects resident in or resorting to the dominions of the Emperor of China or of the Tycoon of Japan :

And whereas, under the authority of provisions in this behalf in the first-recited Act contained, ordinances for the peace, order, and good government of Her Majesty's subjects being within the dominions of the Emperor of China, or being within certain ships or vessels at a distance of not more than one hundred miles from the coast of China, have been from time to time made by the Superintendent of the Trade of Her Ma- jesty's subjects in China (such Superintendent being also the Governor of Hongkong), with the advice of the Legislative Council of Hongkong, which ordinances are known as Cousular Ordinance:

And whereas such of those Consular Ordinances as are described in the Schedule to this Order are now in force, wholly or in part, but they are liable to repeal by order of Her Majesty in Council, and it is expe- dient that they be repealed, such of their provisions as are not intended to be abrogated being consolidated with this Order:

~~Amendment.~~

30. Any plaintiff not giving sufficient information to enable the defendant reasonably to understand the nature and particulars of the claim set up against him may be ordered, on the application of the defendant before answer, to amend his petition.

The plaintiff may be ordered to annex copies of, or produce for inspection, such papers or documents in his possession or power as he has referred to in the petition, and as the defendant is entitled to inspect for the purposes of the suit.

The Court may in such cases make such order as to costs as justice requires, and stay proceedings until the order is complied with. 31. If any petition contains libellous or needlessly offensive expressions, the Court may, either of its own motion before service thereof, or on the application of the defendant, order the petition to be amended, and make such order as to costs as justice requires.

~~mis-joinder.~~

　　　　37. If it appears before or at the hearing that any person not joined Non-joinder or as plaintiff or as defendant ought to be so joined,-or that any person joined as plaintiff or as defendant ought not to be so joined,-the Court may order the petition to be amended, with liberty to amend the other pleadings (if any), and on such terms as to time for answering, postponement or adjournment of hearing, and costs, as justice requires. But no person shall be so joined as plaintiff without satisfactory evidence to the Court of his consent thereto.

Nor shall the name of any plantiff be struck out unless it appears to the satisfaction of the Court either that he was originally joined as plaintiff without his consent, or that he consents to his name being struck out.

38. Where a plaintiff sues any person as agent for some other Defendant sued as agent. person, not seeking to fix such agent with any personal liability, the Court, on the fact coming to its knowledge, shall, if the person really sought to be fixed with liability is within the particular jurisdiction, forthwith order his name to be substituted, and stay proceedings until the order is complied with: But if he is not within the particular jurisdiction, shall refuse to proceed further in the matter, unless and until the person sued as agent undertakes, by writing under his hand, to defend the suit, and personally to satisfy any decree or order for debt or damages and costs therein.

40. Where a petition is defective on the face of it by reason of non-compliance with any provision of these Rules, the Court may, either on application by a defendant or of its own motion, make an order to stay proceedings until the defect is remedied.

The Court shall, of its own motion, make an order to stay proceedings on a defective petition, where the defect is patent and serious, and comes to the knowledge of the Court before service of the petition on the defendant.

~~Copies for Service.~~

41. Where there is only one defendant, one copy of the petition, and of any schedule thereto, for service, is to be left with the Court, together with the original; where there are two or more defendants, as many copies as there are parties to be served are to be left together with the original.

~~Service of Petition.~~

~~42. The plaintiff on filing his petition must obtain an order for service of it on the defendant.~~

~~Every order for service shall specify a reasonable time after service, ordinarily not more than eight days, within which the defendant must put in his answer.~~

~~Defence on Ground of Law.~~

43. Where a defendant conceives that he has a good legal or answer being required, equitable defence to the petition, so that even if the allegations of fact in the petition were admitted or clearly established, yet the plaintiff would not be entitled to any decree against him (the defendant), he may raise this defence by a motion that the petition be dismissed without any answer being required from him.

~~Costa.~~

~~Further time to answer.~~

~~The motion paper shall be filed within the time allowed for putting in an answer.~~

~~It must state briefly the grounds of law on which the defendant intends to rely at the hearing of the motion.~~

~~The motion shall be heard and disposed of at as early a time as may be.~~

For the purposes of the motion the defendant shall be taken to admit the truth of the allegations of fact in the petition, and no evidence as to matters of fact or discussion of questions of fact shall be admitted at the hearing of the motion.

On hearing the motion the Court shall either dismiss the petition or order the defendant to put in an answer within a short time to be named in the order, and may give leave to the plaintiff to amend his petition if it appears requisite, and may impose such terms as justice requires.

Where, on the hearing of the motion, any grounds of law are urged in support of the motion beyond those stated in the motion paper, and the grounds stated therein are disallowed, the defendant shall be liable pay the same costs as if the motion were wholly refused, although the grounds of law newly urged are allowed, unless the Court thinks fit in any case to order otherwise.

It should be clear and precise, and not introduce matter irrelevant to the suit, and the rules before laid down respecting the setting out of documents and the contents of a petition generally shall be observed in answer, mutatis mutundis.

　　　　~~It must deny all such material allegations in the petition as the defendant intends to deny at the hearing.~~

　　　　Where the answer denies an allegation of fact, it must deny it directly and not by way of negative pregnant: as (for example) where it is alleged that the defendant has received a sum of money, the answer must deny that he has received that sum or any part thereof, or else set forth what part he has received. And so, where a matter of fact is alleged in the petition, with certain circumstances, the answer must not deny it literally as it is alleged, but must answer the point of sub- stance positively and certainly.

The answer must specifically admit such material allegation in the petition as the defendant knows to be true or desires to be taken as admitted. Such admission, if plain and specific, will prevent the plaintiff from obtaining the cost of proving at the hearing any matters of fact so admitted.

All material allegations of fact admitted by a defendant shall be taken as established against him without proof thereof by the plaintiff at the hearing. But the plaintiff shall be bound to prove as against each defendant all allegations of fact not admitted by him, or not stated by him to be true to his belief.

　　　　　The answer must allege any matter of fact not stated in the petition on which the defendant relies in defence,as establishing for instance, fraud on the part of the plaintiff, or showing that the plain- tiff's right to recover, or to any relief capable of being granted on the petition, has not yet accrued, or is released or barred or otherwise gone.

~~RULES OF SUPREME COURT~~

48. The answer of a defendant shall not debar him at the hearing from disproving any allegation of the petition not admitted by his answer, or from giving evidence in support of a defence not expressly set up by the answer,-except where the defence is such as, in the opinion of the Court, ought to have been expressly set up by the answer, -or is inconsistent with the statements of the answer, or is in the opinion of the Court, likely to take the plaintiff by surprise, and to raise a fresh issue or fresh issues of fact or law not fairly arising out of the pleadings as they stand, and such as the plaintiff ought not to be then called upon to try,

~~Specific Answer.~~

49. Where the defendant does not auswer or puts in an answer amounting only to a general denial of the plainti's claim, the plaintiff may apply by summons for an order to compel him to answer specifi- cally to the several material allegations in the petition; and the Court if such allegations are briefly, positively, separately, and distinctly made, and it thinks that justice so requires, may graut such an order.

The defendant shall, within the time limited by such order, put in his answer accordingly, and shall therein answer the several material allegations in the petition either admitting or denying the truth of such allegations seriatim, as the truth or falsehood of each is within his knowledge, or (as the case may be) stating as to any one or more of the allegations that he does not know whether such allegation or allegations is or are true or otherwise,

~~The defendant so answering may also set up by such answer any defence to the suit, and may explain away the effect of any admission therein made by any other allegation of facts.~~

~~Interrogatories.~~

50. Where an answer so put in, fails substantially to comply with the terms of the order, by reason of any one or more of the material allegations not being either denied or admitted thereby, or not being met by a statement in the answer that the defendant does not know whether such allegation or allegations is or are true or otherwise, the plaintiff may apply to the Court to examine the defendant on written interrogatories; and the Court may, if it sees fit, examine the defendant accordingly on written interrogatories, allowed by the Court, and embodying material allegations of the petition in an interrogative form, and may reduce the auswers of the defendant to writing.

~~Such answers shall be taken for the purposes of the suit to be a part of the defendant's answer to the petition~~

~~Payment into Court,~~

54. Payment into Court by the defendant must be accompanied Answer, by an answer. The answer must state distinctly that the money paid in is paid in satisfaction of the plaintiff's claim generally, or (as the case may be) in satisfaction of some specific part of the plaintiff's claim, where the claim is stated in the petition for distinct sums or in respect of distinct matters.

57. Where the plaintiff considers the contents of the answer to be such as to render an amendment of the petition necessary or desirable, he may obtain ex-parte an order to amend the petition, on satisfying the Court that the amendment is not intended for the purpose of delay or vexation, but because it is considered to be material for the plaintiff's case.

~~Notice of the amendment shall be given to the defendant within such time and in such manner as the Court in each case directs.~~

~~Settlement of Issues,~~

58. At any time before or at the hearing the Court may, if it thinks fit, on the application of any party or of its own motion, proceed to ascertain and determine what are the material questions in controversy between the parties, although the same are not distinctly or properly raised by the pleadings, and may reduce such questions into writing and settle them in the form of issues; which issues when settled may state questions of law on admitted facts; or questions of disputed fact, or questions partly of the one kind and partly of the other.

In settling issues the Court may order or allow the striking out or amendment of any pleading or part of a pleading so that the pleadings may finally correspond with the issues settled, and may order or allow the striking out or amendment of any pleading or part of a pleading that appears to be so framed as to prejudice, embarrass, or delay the trial of

~~the cause.~~

Where the application to the Court to settle issue is made at any stage of the proceedings at which all parties are actually present before the Court either in person or by counsel or attorney, or at the hearing, the application may be made viva voce, and may be disposed of at once, otherwise the application must be made and disposed of on summons,

~~Reference of Account.~~

59. Where it appears to the Court at any time after suit instituted, that the question in dispute relates either wholly or in part to matters of more account, the Court may, according to the amount of public business pending, either decide such question in a summary way, or order that it be referred either wholly or in part to some person agreed on by the parties, or in case of their non-agreement, appointed by the Court.

The referee shall enter into the account and hear evidence and report on it to the Court, according to the order; and the Court after hearing the parties may adopt the conclusions of the report either wholly or in part, or may direct a further report to be made by the referee, and may grant any necessary adjournment for that purpose.

Where such an application is made for the purpose of enabling the party applying to obtain the evidence of a witness resident out of the particular jurisdiction, the Court shall require to be satisfied that the evidence of the witness is material, and that he is likely to give evidence, and that he is permanently residing out of the jurisdiction, or does not intend to come within the jurisdiction within a reasonable time. The party making such application must also apply for an order for the examination of such witness out of the jurisdiction, or for leave to use an affidavit to be made by such witness as evidence at the hearing.

Where the accused comes before the Court on summons or warrant, or otherwise, the Court, before committing him to prison for trial, or admitting him to bail, shall, in his presence, take the deposi- tions on oath (Form 39.) of those who know the facts and circumstances of the case, and shall put the same in writing.

~~292. The accused shall be at liberty to put questions to any wit- ness produced against him, and the statements of any witness in answer thereto shall form part of that witness' deposition.~~

~~293. The deposition of each witness shall be read over to the witness, and shall be signed by him.~~

294. If on the trial of the accused it is proved on oath that any person whose deposition has been taken is dead or is so ill as not to be able to travel, and that his deposition was taken in the presence of the accused, and that he or his counsel or attorney cross-examined or had full opportunity of cross-examining the witness, the deposition may be read as evidence in the prosecution without further proof thereof.

295. No objection at the preliminary examination to any charge, summons, or warrant, for any defect in substance or form, or for any variance between it and the evidence adduced on the part of the pro- secution, shall be allowed: but if any variance appears to the Court to be such that the accused has been thereby deceived or misled, the Court may, on the request of the accused, adjourn the examination, and in the meantime remand the accused or admit him to bail.

~~Statement of Accused.~~

296. After the examination of all the witnesses on the part of the prosecution is completed, the Court shall without requiring the atten- dance of the witnesses, read over to the accused the depositions taken against him, and shall then say to him these words:-

"Having heard the evidence, do you wish to say anything in answer to the charge? You are not obliged to say anything unless you desire to do so, but whatever you say will be taken down in writing, and may be given in evidence against you on your trial. And I give you clearly to understand that you have nothing to hope from any promise of favour, and nothing to fear from any threat, that may have been held out to you to induce you to make any admission or confession of your guilt; but whatever you now say may be given in evidence against you upon your trial, notwithstanding such promise or threat."

Whatever the accused then says in answer thereto shall be taken down in writing (Form 40.) and shall be read over to him, and shall. be kept with the depositions of the witnesses, and afterwards, on the trial of the accused the same may be given in evidence against him without further proof thereof.

~~This case will be transferred from the General Hearing List to the Hearing Paper for~~

~~the~~

~~day of~~

~~18 and will come on to be heard in its turn on that day, if the business of the Court permits, or otherwise on some adjournment day, of which you will receive no further notice.~~

You are desired to pay attention to the following directions :---- If the Plaintiff fails to attend in person or by counsel or attorney on the day appointed, the case if called on may be struck out, and the Plaintiff will be liable to pay to the Defendant such costs as may be fixed by the Court. Also, the case must be set down in the Ge- neral Hearing List afresh, by which the Plaintiff will incur delay and expense.

If the Defendant fails to attend in person or by counsel or attor- ney on the day appointed, the case if called on may, if the Court so directs, be heard and determined in his absence on the evidence ad- duced on behalf of the Plaintiff, and the Court will issue execution on the judgment so obtained.

~~If either party has any application to make to the Court to post- pone~~

the hearing, it should be made as soon as possible, on applica- tion for a summons for that purpose, and if the application is based on any matter of fact, as the absence of a material witness or the like, the facts relied on must be set out and verified in one or more affi- davit or affidavits filed in the Court before such application.

If either party considers that the questions between the parties are not fairly raised or put in issue by the pleadings, or thinks that the questions raised are obscure, and that he is prejudiced thereby, he may apply to the Court on summons to settle issues, and such application should be made at once.

The parties are warned that at the hearing they are required to adduce all the testimony, written and oral, which each of them de- sires to rely on, in support of his own case and in contradiction of that of his opponent. The proof will be required at the hearing and not on a subsequent day, and parties failing to bring their testimony forward at the proper time may find themselves absolutely precluded from adducing it at all, or at best only allowed to do so on payment of substantial costs to the other side, and on such other terms as the Court thinks fit to impose.

~~IN CHINA AND JAPAN.~~

　　　　　　~~Parties desirous to enforce the attendance of witnesses should apply at once to the Court to issue to or to procure from the national authority of the witness required a summous for his attendance.~~

　　　　~~It is indispensable that the application should be made so as to allow time for a reasonable notice to the witness required.~~

~~If the witness is required to bring books or papers, they must be particularized in the summons sufficiently to enable him clearly to understand what is meant.~~

　　　　~~Any party summoning a witness through the Court, thereby becomes liable to pay such witness a reasonable sum of money to be summarily fixed by the Court for his expenses and loss of time.~~

~~The Court will not enforce the attendance of a witness unless such sum has been deposited in the Court.~~

If either party desires to use in evidence at the hearing any book, paper, or document in the possession or power of the other party he must give the other party reasonable notice in writing to produce it at the hearing, failing which he will not be allowed to give any secon- dary evidence of its contents.

　　　　　~~No person is excluded from giving evidence by reason of interest or relationship. The parties themselves, their wives, relations, partners, and servants respectively are competent witnesses.~~

　　　　3. It being obviously necessary and desirable that British subjects should have some port whereat they may careen and refit their ships when required, and keep stores for that purpose, his Majesty the Emperor of China cedes to her Majesty the Queen of Great Britain, &c., the island of Hongkong, to be possessed in perpetuity by her Britannic Majesty, her heirs, and successors, and to be governed by such laws and regulations as her Majesty the Queen of Great Britain, &c., shall see fit to direct.

~~the~~

　　　　5. The government of China having compelled the British merchants trading at Canton to deal exclusively with certain Chinese merchants, called Hong merchants (or Co-Hong), who had been licensed by the Chinese government for that purpose, Emperor of China agrees to abolish that practice in future at all ports where British merchants may reside, and to permit them to carry on their mercantile transactions with whatever persons they please; and his Imperial Majesty further agrees to pay to the British government the sum of three millions of dollars, on account of debts due to British subjects by some of the said Hong merchants, or Co-Hong, who have become insolvent, and who owe very large sums of money to subjects of her Britannic Majesty.

~~NANKING TREATY, 1842.~~

~~117~~

　　　　6. The government of Her Britannic Majesty having been obliged to send out an expedition to demand and obtain redress for the violent and unjust proceedings of the Chinese high authorities towards Her Britannic Majesty's officers and subjects, the Emperor of China agrees to pay the sum of twelve millions of dollars, on account of expenses incurred; and Her Britannic Majesty's plenipotentiary voluntarily agrees on behalf of Her Majesty, to deduct from the said amount of twelve millions of dollars, any sums which may have been received by Her Majesty's combined forces, and towns in China, subsequent to the 1st day of August, 1841.

　　　　9. The Emperor of China agrees to publish and promulgate, under his imperial sign manual and seal, a full and entire amnesty and act of indemnity to all subjects of China, on account of their having resided under, or having had dealings and intercourse with, or having entered the service of, Her Britannic Majesty, or of Her Majesty's officers; and His Imperial Majesty further engages to release all Chinese subjects who may be at this moment in confinement for similar reasons.

　　　　10. The Emperor of China agrees to establish at all the ports which are, by the second article of this treaty, to be thrown open for the resort of British merchants, a fair and regular tariff of export and import customs and other dues, which tariff shall be publicly notified and promulgated for general information; and the Emperor further engages, that, when British merchandise shall have been once paid at any of the said ports the regulated customs and dues, agreeable to the tariff to be hereafter fixed, such merchandise may be conveyed by Chinese merchants to any province or city in the interior of the empire of China, on paying a further amount as transit duties, which shall not exceed- -per cent, on the tariff value of such goods. (See, for Tariff Act, CANTON.)

11. It is agreed that Her Britannic Majesty's chief high officer in China shall correspond with the Chinese officers, both at the capital and in the provinces, under the term "communication;" the subordinate British officers and Chinese high officers in the provinces under the term "statement," on the part of the former, and on the part of the latter, "declaration and the subordinates of both countries on a footing of perfect equality; merchants and others not holding official situations, and therefore not included in the above, on both sides to use the term "representation" in all papers addressed to, or intended for, the notice of the respective governments.

　　　　12. On the assent of the Emperor of China to this treaty being received, and the discharge of the first instalment of money, Her Britannic Majesty's forces will retire from Nanking and the Grand Canal, and will no longer molest or stop the trade of China. The military port at Chinhae will also be withdrawn; but the islands of Koolangsoo, and that of Chusan, will continue to be held by Her Majesty's forces until the money payments, and the arrangements for opening the ports to British merchants be completed.

　　　　13. The ratification of this treaty by Her Majesty the Queen of Great Britain, &c., and His Majesty the Emperor of China, shall be exchanged as soon as the great distance which separates England from China will admit; but, in the meantime counterpart copies of it,

~~PROCLAMATION.~~

　　　　　The Earl of Elgin and Kincardine, K.T., G.C.B., Her Britannic Majesty's Special Ambassador in China, &c., &c., has much satisfaction in informing Her Majesty's subjects in China that a Convention for re-establishment of Peace between Great Britain and China was concluded, and the Ratifications of the Treaty of Tientsin of the Year 1858, duly exchanged at Peking, on the 24th of October, 1860.

　　　　　The Earl of Elgin now publishes for general information the text of the said Convention and Treaty, together with the text of the tariff, and rules which form part of the Treaty, and were ageed to by him and the Plenipotentiaries of the Emperor of China at Shanghai, on the 8th of November, 1858.

　　　　　　The Earl of, Elgin trusts that by a considerate treatment of the natives with whom they may come into contact, and a faithful observance of their obligations towards the Chinese Government, Her Majesty's subjects in China will do what in them lies to reconcile the people, and authorities of China, to the changes in their relations with foreigners which are about to be introduced under the international mpacts herewith promulgated-changes which if they be carried into effect in such a manner as to afford greater scope to the commercial activity of the Chinese people, without doing unncessary violence to their habits and traditions, will, it may be hoped, prove beneficial to them, and to all who have dealings with them.

~~Due notice will be given, whenever the arrangemants for carrying into execution the provisions of this Convention and Treaty, at the Ports thereby opened to British Trade, shall be completed.~~

In all cases of incendiarism or robbery, the local authorities shall at once take the necessary steps for the recovery of the stolen property, the suppression of disorder, and the arrest of the guilty parties, whom they will punish according to law.

Art. XIX.-If any British merchant-vessel, while within Chinese waters, be plundered by robbers, or pirates, it shall be the duty of the Chinese authorities to use every endeavour to capture and punish the said robbers or pirates, and recover the stolen property, that it may be handed over to the Consul for restoration to the owner.

Art. XX.-If any British vessel be at any time wrecked or stranded on the coast of China, or be compelled to take refuge in any port within the dominions of the Emperor of China, the Chinese authorities on being apprised of the fact, shall immediately adopt measures for its relief and security; the persons on board shall receive friendly treatment, and shall be furnished, if necessary, with the means of conveyance to the nearest Consular station.

　　　　　Art. XXI.-If criminals, subjects of China, shall take refuge in Hongkong or on board the British ships there, they shall, upon due requisition by the Chinese authorities, be searched for, and, on proof of their guilt, be delivered up.

In like manner, if Chinese offenders take refuge in the houses or on board the vessels of British subjects at the open ports, they shall not be harboured or concealed, but shall be delivered up, on due requisition by the Chinese authorities, addressed to the British Consul.

Art. XXII.-Should any Chinese subject fail to discharge debts incurred to a British subject, or should he fraudulently abscond, the Chinese authorities will do their utmost to effect his arrest, and enforce recovery of the debts. The British authorities will likewise do their utmost to bring to justice any British subject fraudulently absconding or failing to discharge debts incurred by him to a Chinese subject.

　　　　　Art, XXIII.-Should natives of China who may repair to Hongkong to trade, incur debts there, the recovery of such debts must be arranged for by the British Court of Justice on the spot; but should the Chinese debtor abscond, and be known to have property, real or personal, within the Chinese territory, it shall be the duty of the Chinese authorities, on application by, and in concert with, the British Consul, to do their utmost to see justice done between the parties.

　　　　　Art. XXIV.-It is agreed that British subjects shall pay, on all merchandize imported or exported by them, the duties prescribed by the tariff; but in no case shall they be called upon to pay other or higher duties than are required of the subjects of any other foreign nation.

　　　　　~~Art. XXV.-Import duties shall be considered payable on the landing of the goods, and duties of export on the shipment of the same.~~

　　　　　Art. XXVI. Whereas the tariff fixed by Article X. of the Treaty of Nanking, and which was estimated so as to impose on imports and exports a duty at about the rate of five per cent ad valorem, has been found, by reason of the fall in value of various articles of merchandize, therein enumerated, to impose a duty upon these considerably in excess of rate originally assumed, as above, to be a fair rate, it is agreed that the said tariff shall be revised, and that as soon as the Treaty shall have been signed, application shall be made to the Emperor of China to depute a high officer of the Board of Revenue to meet, at Shanghai, officers to be deputed on behalf of the British Government, to consider its revision together, so that the tariff, as revised, may come into operation immediately after the ratification of this Treaty.

　　　　　Art. XXVII.-It is agreed that either of the high contracting parties to the Treaty may demand a further revision of tariff, and of the Commerical Article of this Treaty, at the end of ten years; but if no demand be made on either side within six months after the end of the first ten years, then the tariff shall remain in force for ten years more, reckoned from the end of the preceding ten years; and so it shall be, at the end of each successive ten years.

~~TIENTSIN TREATY, 1858.~~

~~125~~

Art. XXVIII. Whereas it was agreed in Article X of the Treaty of Nanking that British imports, having paid the tariff duties, should be conveyed into the interior free of all further charges, except a transit duty, the amount whereof was not to exceed a certain per-centage on tariff value; and whereas no accurate information having been furnished of the amount of such duty, British merchants have constantly complained that charges are suddenly and arbitrarily imposed by the provincial authorities as transit duties upon produce on its way to the foreign market, and on imports on their way into the interior to the detriment of trade; it is agreed that within four months from signing of this Treaty, at all ports now open to British trade, and within a similar period at all ports that may hereafter be opened, the authority appointed to superintend the collection of duties shall be obliged, upon application to the Consul, to declare the amount of duties leviable on produce between the places of production and the port of shipment, and upon imports between the Consular port in the question and the inland market named by the Consul; and that a notification thereof shall be published in English and Chinese for general information.

　　　　But it shall be at the option of any British subjects desiring to convey produce purchased inland to a port or to convey imports from a port to an inland market to clear his goods of all transit duties, by payment of a single charge. The amount of this charge shall be leviable on exports at the first barrier they may have to pass, or, on imports, at the port at which they are landed; and on payment thereof, a certificate shall be issued, which shall exempt the goods from all further inland charges whatsoever.

　　　　It is further agreed that the amount of this charge shall be calculated, as nearly as possible, at the rate of two and-a-half per cent ad valorem, and that it shall be fixed for each article at the conference to be held at Shanghai for the revision of the tariff.

　　　　It is distinctly understood, that the payment of transit dues, by commutation or otherwise, shall in no way affect the tariff duties on imports, or exports, which will continue to be levied separately and in full.

　　　　Art. XXIX.-British merchant-vessels, of more than one hundred and fifty tons burden, shall be charged tonnage dues at the rate of four mace per ton: if of one hundred and fifty tons and under, they shall be charged at the rate of one mace per ton.

　　　　Any vessel clearing from any of the open ports of China for any other of the open ports, or for Hongkong, shall be entitled, on application of the master, to a special certificate from the Customs, on exhibition of which she shall be exempted from all further payment of tonnage-dues in any open port of China, for a period of four months, to be reckoned from the date of her port-clearance.

　　　　Art. XXX. The master of any British merchant-vessel may, within forty-eight hours after the arrival of his vessel, but not later, decide to depart without breaking bulk, in which case he will not be subject to pay tonnage dues. But tonnage-dues shall be held due after the expiration of the said forty-eight hours. No other fees or charge upon entry or departure shall be levied.

Art. XXXI.-No tonnage-dues shall be payable on boats employed by British subjects in the conveyance of passengers, baggage, letters, articles of provision, or other articles not subject to duty, between any of the open ports. All cargo-boats, however, conveying merchandize subject to duty shall pay tonnage dues once in four months at the rate of mace per register ton.

~~one~~

~~Art. XXXII.-The Consuls and Superintendent of Customs shall consult together regarding the erection of beacons or lighthouses, and the distribution of buoys and lightships, as occasion may demand.~~

　　　　Art. XXXIII.-Duties shall be paid to the bankers, authorized by the Chinese Government to receive the same in its behalf, either in sycee or in foreign money, according to the assay made at Canton on the thirteenth of July, one thousand eight hundred and forty-three.

　　　　Art. XXXIV. Sets of standard weights and measures, prepared according to the standard issued to the Canton Custom-house by the Board of Revenue, shall be delivered by the Superintendent of Customs to the Consul at each port, to secure uniformity and prevent confusion.

~~126~~

~~TIENTSIN TREATY, 1858.~~

Art. XXXV.-Any British merchant-vessel arriving at one of the open ports shall be at liberty to engage the services of a pilot to take her into port. In like manner, after Fhe has discharged all legal dues and duties, and is ready to take her departure, she shall Le allowed to select a pilot, to conduct her out of port.

Art. XXXVI.-Whenever a British merchant-vessel shall arrive off one of the open ports, the Superintendent of Customs shall depute one or more Customs' officers to guard the ship. They shall either live in a boat of their own or stay on board the ship, as may best suit their convenience Their food and expenses shall be supplied them from the custom-house, `aud they shall not be entitled to any fees whatever from the master or consignee. Should they violate this regulation, they shall be punished proportionately to the amount exacted.

　　　　　Art. XXXVII.-Within twenty-four hours after arrival, the ship's papers, bills of lading, &c., shall be lodged in the hands of the Consul, who will within a further period of twenty-four hours report to the Superintendent of Customs the name of the ship, her registered tonnage, and the nature of her cargo. If, owing to neglect on the part of the master, the above rule is not complied with, within forty-eight hours after the ship's arrival, he shall be liable to a fine of fifty taels for every day's delay: the total amount of penalty, however, shall not exceed two hundred taels.

The master will be responsible for the correctness of the manifest, which shall contain a full and true account of the particulars of the cargo on board. For presenting a false manifest, to a fine of five hundred taels; but he will be allowed to correct, within twenty- four hours after delivery of it to the Customs' officers, any mistake he may discover in his manifest without incurring this penalty.

　　　　Art. XXXVIII.-After receiving from the Consul the report in due form the Superintendent of Customs shall grant the vessel a permit to open hatches. If the master shall open hatches, and begin to discharge any goods without such permission he shall be fined five hundred taels, and the goods discharged shall be confiscated wholly.

　　　　　Art. XXXIX.-Any British merchant who has cargo to land or ship, must apply to the Superintendent of Customs for a special permit. Cargo landed or shipped without such permit, will be liable to confiscation.

~~Art. XL.-No transhipment from one vessel to another can be made without special permission, under pain of confiscation of the goods so transhipped.~~

　　　　Art. XLI. When all dues and duties shall have been paid, the Superintendent of Customs shall give a port clearance, and the Consul shall then returu the ship's papers, so that she may depart on her voyage.

　　　　Art. XLII.-With respect to articles subject, according to the Tariff, to an ad valorem duty, if the British merchant cannot agree with the Chinese officers in affixing a value, then each party shall call two or three merchants to look at the goods, and the highest price at which any of these merchants would be willing to purchase them shall be assumed as the value of the goods.

　　　　　Art. XLIII.-Duties shall be charged upon the net weight of each article, making a deduction for the tare weight of congee, &c. To fix the tare on any articles such as tea, if the British merchant cannot agree with the Custom-house officer, then each party shall choose so many chests out of every hundred, which being first weighed in gross, shall afterwards be tared, and the average tare upon these chests shall be assumed as the tare upon the whole; and upon this principle shall the tare be fixed upon all other goods and packages. If there should be any other points in dispute which cannot be settled, the British merchant may appeal to his Consul, who will communicate the particulars of the case to the Superintendent of Customs, that it may be equitably arranged. But the appeal must be made within twenty-four hours or it will not be attended to. While such points are still unsettled, the Superintendent of Customs shall postpone the insertion of the same in his books.

Art. XLIV.-Upon all damaged goods a fair reduction of duty shall be allowed, proportionate to their deterioration. If any dispute arise, they shall be settled in the manner pointed out in the clause of this Treaty having reference to articles which pay duty ad valorem.

~~TIENTSIN TREATY, 1858.~~

~~127~~

　　　　　Art. XLV.-British merchants who may have imported merchandize into any of the open ports, and paid the duty thereon, if they desire to re-export the same, shall be entitled to make application to the Superintendent of Customs, who in order to prevent fraud on the revenue, shall cause examination to be made by suitable officers, so that the duties paid on such goods, as entered in the Custom-house books, correspond with the representation made, and that the goods remain with their original marks unchanged. He shall then make a memorandum on the port-clearance of the goods, and of the amount of duties paid, and deliver the same to the merchant; and shall also certify the facts to the officers of Customs of the other ports. All which being done, on the arrival in port of the vessel in which the goods are laden, everything being found on examination there to correspond, she shall be permitted to break bulk, and land the said goods, without being subject to the payment of any additional duty thereon. But if, on such examination the Superintendent of Customs shall detect any fraud on the revenue in the case, then the goods shall be subject to confiscation by the Chinese Government.

British merchants desiring to re-export duty-paid imports to a foreign country shall be entitled, on complying with the same conditions as in the case of re-exportation to another port in China, to a draw-back-certificate, which shall be a valid tender to the Customs in payment of import or export duties.

　　　　　~~Foreign grain brought into any port of China in a British ship, if no part thereof has been landed, may be re-exported without hindrance.~~

　　　　　~~Art. XLVI.-The Chinese authorities at each port shall adopt the means they may judge most proper to prevent the revenue suffering from fraud or smuggling.~~

Art. XLVIII.-If any British merchant-vessel be concerned in smuggling, the goods, whatever their value or nature, shall be subject to confiscation by the Chinese authorities, and the ship may be prohibited from trading further, and sent away as soon as her account shall have been adjusted and paid.

Art. L.-All official communications, addressed by the Diplomatic and Consular Agents of Her Majesty the Queen to the Chinese authorities, shall, henceforth, be written in English. They will for the present be accompanied by a Chinese version, but it is understood that, in the event of there being any difference of meaning between the English and Chinese text, the English Government will hold the sense as expressed in the English text to be the correct sense. This provision is to apply to the Treaty now negotiated, the Chinese text of which has been carefully corrected by the English original.

~~RULES.~~

　　　　　RULE 1. Unenumerated Goods.--Articles not enumerated in the list of exports, but enumerated in the list of imports, when exported, will pay the amount of duty set against them in the list of imports; and similarly, articles not enumerated in the list of imports, but enumerated in the list of exports, when imported, will pay the amount of duty set against them in the list of exports.

~~Articles not enumerated in either list, nor in the list of duty-free goods, will pay an ad valorem duty of 5 per cent, calculated on their market value.~~

　　　　　　RULE 2. Duty-Free Goods.-Gold and silver bullion, foreign coins, flour, Indian meal, sago, biscuits, preserved meats and vegetables, cheese, butter, confectionery, foreign clothing, jewellery, plated-ware, perfumery, soap of all kinds, charcoal, firewood, candles (foreign), tobacco (foreign), cigars (foreign), wine, beer, spirits, household stores, ship's stores, personal baggage, stationery, carpeting, druggeting, cutlery, foreign medicines, glass, and crystal ware,

The above pay no import or export duty, but, if transported into the interior will, with the exception of personal baggage, gold and silver bullion, and foreign coins, pay a transit duty at the rate of 24 per cent ad valorem.

A freight, or part freight of duty-free commodities (personal baggage, gold and silver bullion, and foreign coins, excepted) will reuder the vessel carrying them, though no other cargo be on board, liable to tonnage dues.

　　　　　RULE 3. Contraband Goods.-Import and export trade is alike prohibited in the following articles-gunpowder, shot, cannou, fowling-pieces, rifles, muskets, pistols, and all other munitions and implements of war, and salt.

　　　　　RULE 4. Weights and Measures. In the calculations of the Tariff, the weight of a picul of one hundred catties is held to be equal to one hundred and thirty-three aud one-third pounds avoirdupois; and the length of a chang of ten Chinese feet, to be equal to one hundred and forty one English inches.

　　　　　　~~One Chinese chih is held to equal fourteen and one-tenth inches English; and four yards English less three inches, to equal one chang.~~

　　　　　　RULE 5. Regarding certain Commodities heretofore Contraband.-The restrictions affecting trade in opium, cash, grain, pulse, sulphur, brimstone, satlpetre and spelter, are relaxed, under the following conditions:

I. Opium will henceforth pay thirty taels per picul import duty. The importer will sell it only at the port. It will be carried into the interior by Chinese only, and only as Chinese property; the foreign trader will not be allowed to accompany it. The provisions of Articles IX. of the Treaty of Tientsin, by which British subjects are authorized to proceed into the interior with passports to trade, will not extend to it, nor will those of Article XXVIII, of the same Treaty, by which the transit-dues are regulated. The transit- dues on it will be arranged as the Chinese Government sce fit; nor, in future revisions of the Tariff is the same rule of revision to be applied to opium as to other goods.

　　　　　　II. Copper Cash.-The export of cash to any foreign port is prohibited; but it shall be lawful for British subjects to ship it at one of the open ports of China to another, on compliance with the following Regulation: The shipper shall give notice of the amount of cash he desires to ship, and the port of its destination, and shall bind himself, either by a bond with two sufficient sureties, or by depositing such other security as may be deemed

~~CHINESE CUSTOMS' TARIFF.-RULES.~~

~~143~~

by the Customs satisfactory, to return, within six months from the date of clearance, to the collector at the port of shipment, the certificate issued by him, with an acknowledgment thereon of the receipt of the cash at the port of destination, by the collector at that port, who shall thereto affix his seal; or, failing the production of the certificate, to forfeit a sum equal in value to the cash shipped. Cash will pay no duty inwards or outwards; but a freight or part freight of cash, though no other cargo be on board, will render the vessel carrying it, liable to pay tonnage dues.

III. The export of rice and all other grain whatsoever, native or foreign, no matter where grown or whence imported, to any foreign port, is prohibited; but these commodities may be carried by British merchants from one of the open ports of China to another, under the same conditions in respect of security as cash, où payment at the port of shipment of the duty specified in the Tariff.

~~No import duty will be leviable on rice or grain; but a freight or part freight of rice or grain, though no other cargo be on board, will render the vessel importing it liable to tonnage dues.~~

　　　　　IV. Pulse. The export of pulse and beancake from Tung-chau and Newchwang, under the British flag, is prohibited. From any other of the ports they may be shipped, on payment of the tariff duty, either to other ports of China, or to foreign countries.

V. Saltpetre, Sulphur, brimstone, and spelter, being munitions of war, shall not be import- ed by British subjects, save at the requisition of the Chinese Government, or for sale to Chinese duly authorised to purchase them. No permit to land them will be issued until the customs have proof that the necessary authority has been given to the purchaser. It shall not be lawful for British subjects to carry these commodities up the Yang-tsze-kiang, or in to any port other than those open to the interior on behalf of Chinese. be sold at the ports only, and, except at the ports, they will be regarded as Chinese property.

~~They must~~

　　　　　Infractions of the conditions, as above set forth, under which trade in opium, cash, grain, pulse, saltpetre, brimstone, sulphur, and spelter may be henceforward carried on, will be punishable by confiscation of all the goods concerned.

　　　　　RULE 6. Liability of Vessels entering Port.-To the prevention of misunderstanding, it is agreed that the term of twenty-four hours, within which British vessels must be reported to the Consul under Article XXXVII. of the Treaty of Tientsin, shall be under- stood to commence from the time a British vessel comes within the limits of the port; as also the term of forty-eight hours allowed her by Article XXX. of the same Treaty to remain in port without payment of tonnage dues.

The limits of the ports shall be defined by the Customs, with all consideration for the convenience of trade, compatible with due protection of the revenue; also the limits of the anchorages within which lading and discharging is permitted by the Customs; and the same shall be notified to the Consul for Public information.

　　　　　RULE 7. Transit Dues.-It is agreed that Article XXVIII. of the Treaty of Tientsin shall be interpreted to declare the amounts of transit-dues legally leviable upon merchandise imported or exported by British subjects, to be one-half of the tariff duties, except in the case of the duty-free goods liable to a transit-duty of 24 per cent ad valorem, as provided in Article II. of these Rules. Merchandise shall be cleared of its transit dues under the following conditions :-

　　　　　In the case of Imports.-Notice being given at the port of entry, from which the Imports are to be forwarded inland, of the nature and quantity of the goods, the ship from which they have been landed and the place inland to which they are bound, with all other necessary particulars, the Collector of Customs, will, on due inspection made, and on receipt of the transit-duty due, issue a transit-duty certificate. This must be produced at every barrier station, and vised. No further duty will be leviable upon imports so certificated, no matter how distant the place of their destination.

In the case of Exports.--Produce purchased by a British subject in the interior will be inspected, and taken account of, at the first barrier it passes on its way to the port of shipment. A memorandum showing the amount of the produce and the port at which it is to be shipped, will be deposited there by the person in charge of the produce; he

~~144~~

~~CHINESE CUSTOMS' TARIFF.-RULES.~~

will then receive a certificate, which must be exhibited and vised at every barrier, on his way to the port of shipment. On the arrival of the produce at the barrier nearest the port, notice must be given to the Customs at the port, and the transit-dues due thereon being paid, it will be passed. On exportation the produce will pay the tariff-duty.

~~Any attempt to pass goods inwards or outwards, otherwise than in compliance with the rule here laid down, will render them liable to confiscation.~~

Unauthorised sale, in transitu, of goods that have been entered as above for a port, will render them liable to confiscation. Any attempt to pass goods in excess of the quantity specified in the certificate will render all the goods of the same denomination, named in the certificate, liable to confiscation. Permission to export produce, which cannot be proved to have paid its transit-dues, will be refused by the Customs until the transit-dues shall have been paid. The above being the arrangement agreed to regarding the transit-dues, which will thus be levied once and for all, the notification required under Article XXVIII. of the Treaty of Tientsin, for the information of British and Chinese subjects, is hereby dispensed with.

RULE 8. Foreign Trade under Passport.-It is agreed that Article IX. of the Treaty of Tientsin shall not be interpreted as authorising British subjects to enter the capital city of Peking, for the purposes of trade.

　　　　　RULE 9. Abolition of the Meltage Fer.-It is agreed that the percentage of one tael two mace, hitherto charged in excess of duty payments to defray the expenses of melting by the Chinese Government, shall be no longer levied on British subjects.

　　　　　RULE 10. Collection of Duties under one System at all Ports.-It being, by Treaty at the option of the Chinese Government to adopt what means appear to it best suited to protect its revenue accruing on British trade, it is agreed that one uniform system shall be enforced at every port.

The high officer appointed by the Chinese Government to superintend foreign trade will accordingly, from time to time, either himself visit, or will send a deputy to visit the different ports. The said high officer will be at liberty, of his own choice, and independently of the suggestion or nomination of any British authority, to select any British subject he may see fit to aid him in the administration of the Customs revenue, in the prevention of smuggling, in the definition of port boundaries, or in discharging the duties of harbour master; also in the distribution of lights, buoys, beacons, and the like, the maintenance of which shall be provided for out of the tonnage-dues.

~~The Chinese Government will adopt what measures it shall find requisite to prevent snuggling upon the Yang-tsze-kiang, when that river shall be opened to trade.~~

Done at Shanghai, in the province of Kiang-su, this eighth day of November, in the year of our Lord eighteen hundred and fifty-eight, being the third day of the tenth moon of the year of the reign of Hien Fung.

~~ARTICLES BETWEEN MR. WADE AND PRINCE KUNG, RELATIVE TO CASES OF CUSTOMS SEIZURE.~~

~~NOTIFICATION No. 41, or 1865.~~

~~British Consulate, 29th November, 1865.~~

　　　　　The undersigned circulates for the information of the British Mercantile Community, the English Text of four rules agreed to between the Prince Kung, and H. B. M. Chargé d'Affairs T. F. Wade, Esq., C.B., under which public enquiry is to be conducted at Shanghai in any case in which a British subject conceives his vessel or goods to be wrongfully withheld from him by the Customs Department of the Port. The said rules do not affect the penalties recoverable under Articles 37 and 38 of the Treaty of Tientsin, the same belonging to the jurisdiction of H. M.'s officers in China.

~~It is understood that these rules are open to revision after a twelve months' trial.~~

~~(Signed) CHARLES A. WINCHESTER.~~

~~Revised Draft of Articles inclosed in Mr. Wade's Despatch to the Prince Kung.~~

~~27th October, 1865.~~

Article I. Wherever a ship or goods belonging to a British subject may be seized in a port of China by the Customs, the seizure is to be reported without delay to the Superintendent. If he consider the seizure justified, he will direct the Foreign Commis- sioner of Customs to give notice to the party to whom the ship or goods are declared to belong, that the ship or goods have been seized because such or such an irregularity has been committed, and that the said ship or goods will be confiscated unless before noon on a certain day, being the sixth day from the date of the delivery of the notice, the Super- intendent receive from the British Consul an official application to have the case fully investigated.

　　　　　The British subject to whom the ship or goods belong, if prepared to maintain that the alleged irregularity has not been committed, is free to appeal within the terin of six days direct to the Commissioner. If satisfied with the explanations the Superintendent will direct the release of the ship or goods; otherwise, if he elect not so to appeal to the Customs, or if, after receiving his explanations, the Superintendent still decline to release the ship or goods, he may appeal to his Consul, who will write to inform the Superintendent of the particulars of his appeal, and to request him, the Superintendent, to name a day for the public investigation of the evidence on which the action of the Customs is founded,

　　　　　Article II. The Superintendent on receipt of the Consul's communication, will name a day for meeting him at the Custom House, and the Consul will desire the merchant to appear with his witnesses at the Custom House on the day named, and will himself on that day proceed to the Custom House. The Superintendent will invite the Consul to take his seat with him.

　　　　　The Commissioner of Customs will also be scated to assist the Superintendent. Proceedings will be opened by the Superintendent, who will call on the Customs employés who have seized the ship or goods, to state the circumstance which occasioned the seizure, and will question them according to their evidence. Whatever the merchant interested may have to state in contradiction of their evidence he will state to the Consul, who will cross-examine them for him. Such will be the proceedings in the interest of truth and fairness.

~~146~~

~~ARTICLE BETWEEN MR. WADE AND PRINCE KUNG.~~

　　　　~~The Consul and Superintendent may if they see fit appoint Deputies to meet at the Custom House in their stead, in which case the order of proceeding will be the same as if they were present in person.~~

Article III. Notes will be taken of the statements of all parties examined, and the paper containing these will be signed and sealed by the Consul and the Superintendent. The room will be then cleared, and the Superintendent, will inform the Consul of the course he proposes to pursue. If he propose to confiscate the vessel or goods, and the Consul having given notice of the appeal to the Superintendent. they will forward copies of the above notes, the Consul to his Minister, and the Superintendent to the Yamen of Foreign Affairs at Peking. If the Consul agrees with the Superintendent that the ship or goods ought to bo confiscated the merchant will not be entitled to appeal. In no case will the release of ship or goods entitle the merchant to indemnification for the seizure, whether these be released after the investigation at the Custom House, or after appeal to the high authorities of both nations at Peking.

Article IV. The case being referred to superior authority, the merchant interested shall be at liberty to give a bond, binding himself to pay the full value of the ship or goods attached should the ultimate decision be against him, which bond being scaled with the Consular Seal, and deposited with the Superintendent, the Superintendent will restore to the merchant, the ship or goods attached, and when the superior authority shall have decided whether so much money is to be paid or the whole of the property seized confis- cated, the merchant will be called on to pay accordingly.

　　　　If the merchant decline to give the necessary security, the ship or merchandize attached will be detained. But whether the decision of the superior authority be favor- able to the appellant or not, the appellant will not be entitled to claim indemnity.

~~CONVENTION OF PEACE BETWEEN THE EMPERORS~~

~~OF FRANCE AND CHINA.~~

~~TRANSLATED FROM THE CHINESE TEXT.~~

Their Imperial Majesties, the Emperors of China and France, being desirous to re- sume the amicable relations that of yore existed, and to effect a peaceable settlement of the points in which their Governments disagree, have for this purpose appointed Plenipoten- tiaries, that is to say:-His Imperial Majesty the Emperor of China, His Imperial High- ness the Prince of Kung, and His Imperial Majesty the Emperor of France, Baron Gros, who, having communicated to each other their full powers, and finding the same to be in proper order, now append the Articles of the Convention, as by them determined.

　　　　　Art. I. His Imperial Majesty the Emperor of China deeply regrets that the Re- presentative of His Imperial Majesty the Emperor of France, when on his way, in 1859, to Peking, for the purpose of exchanging Treaty Ratifications, should have been obstruct- ed on his arrival at Taku by the soldiers that were there.

　　　　　Art. II. The Representative of His Imperial Majesty the Emperor of France, when visiting Peking to exchange Treaty Ratifications, shall, whether on the way or at the capital, be treated by all Chinese officials with the highest consideration.

　　　　　[Literaily, "shall receive from all Chinese officials the most polite and most conside- rate treatment due to au Ambassador, so that he may without prejudice assert his posi- tion, authority, or rights."]

Art. III.--The provisions of the Tientsin Treaty of 1858 and of the Supplementary Articles, except in so far as modified by the present Convention, shall without delay come into operation, as soon as the Ratifications of the Treaty aforesaid shall have been exchanged.

Art. IV. The fourth Article of the Treaty concluded at Tientsin in the year 1858, by which it was provided that an Indemnity of Two Millions of Taels should be paid by the Chinese Government, is hereby annulled; and it is agreed, in the stead thereof, that the amount of the Indemnity shall be Eight Millions of Taels. [Of that sum] the Can- ton Customs last year paid Three hundred and thirty-three thousand three hundred and thirty-three Taels; the remaider (Tls 7,666,666) shall be collected from the various Custom Houses, which shall pay quarterly one-fifth of the duties received by them, and · the first quarterly payment shall be due on the 31st December 1860. The payments may be in either Hae-kwan Sycee or foreign coin, and shall be made to either the Represen- tative of France resident in China, or the officer by him deputed. But, on or before the 30th November, there shall be paid at Tientsin a sum of Five hundred thousand Taels. The French Representative and the Chinese High officers shall hereafter, respectively, ap- point deputies to consult together and arrange the manner in which the instalments are to be paid and receipts granted.

　　　　　Art. V. The money to be paid by China is on account of French military expen- diture, and losses sustained by French merchants and others under (French) protection whose hongs and chattels at Canton were burnt and plundered by the populace. The French Government will at a future period divide the money in fair proportions among

~~148~~

~~CONVENTION BETWEEN FRANCE AND CHINA.~~

such sufferers, the amount to be appropriated for the lossess and injuries incurred by such French subjects and others protected, to be One Million of Taels. The remainder will be retained for military expenses.

Art. VI.-It shall be promulgated throughout the length and breadth of the land, in the terms of the Imperial Edict of the 20th February, 1846, that it is permitted to all people in all parts of China to propagate and practice the "teachings of the Lord of Hea- ven," to meet together for the preaching of the doctrine, to build churches and to wor- ship; further, all such as indiscriminately arrest [Christians] shall be duly punished; and such churches, schools, cemeteries, lands, and buildings, as were owned on former occa- sions by persecuted Christians shall be paid for, and the money handed to the French Representative at Peking, for transmission to the Christians in the localities concerned. It is in addition, permitted to French Missionaries to rent and purchase land in all the provinces, and to erect buildings thereon at pleasure.

　　　　Art. VII. On the day on which the Ministers of the two countries affix their seals and signatures, the port of Tientsin, in the province of Chih-le, shall be opened to trade on the same conditions as the other ports. The provisions of the present Convention shall take effect from the day on which it is signed, no separate Ratification of the same being necessary: they shall be observed and enforced just as if forming part of the text of the Treaty of the Tientsin. And on the receipt of Five hundred thousand Taels at Tientsin, the French forces, Naval and Military, shall retire from Tientsin and occupy the two ports of Taku and Yen-tae (Chefoo,) where they are to remain until the payment in full of the Indemnity,-upon which the French forces, at whatever places stationed, shall one and all be withdrawn from Chinese territory; but the Naval and Military Commanders in Chief may encamp soldiers for the winter in Tientsin, and on the payment of the ready money indemnity [? the Taels 500,000 to be paid on 30th November at Tientsin] the force shall retire from Tientsin.

Art. VIII.-On the exchange of the Ratifications of the Treaty of 1858, Chusan shall at once be evacuated by the French forces now stationed there; and on the payment in full of the sum of Five hundred thousand Taels for which this Convention provides- with the exception of (that portion of) the force which being about to winter at Tientsin, will remain there for a time, and which it is considered inconvenient to at once withdraw, as is stated in the seventh Article, the various forces occupying Tientsin shall be withdrawn from that city, and shall retire to the Taku forts, the North Coast of Tang-chow, and the city of Canton, where they will be stationed until the Indemnity of Eight Millions of Taels, guaranteed by this Convention, shall have been paid in full; the occupant forces, as above referred to, shall be entirely withdrawn.

Art. IX. On the exchange of the Ratifications of the Treaty of 1858, His Imperial Majesty, the Emperor of China will, by Decree, notify to the High Authorities of every Province, that Chinese choosing to take service in the French Colonies, or other ports beyond sea, are at perfect liberty to enter into engagements with French subjects for that purpose, and to ship themselves and their families on board any vessel at any of the ports of China; also that High Authorities aforesaid shall, in concert with the Represen- tative in China of His Imperial Majesty the Emperor of France frame such regulations for the protection of Chinese emigrating as above, as the circumstances of the different ports may demand.

~~open~~

　　　　Art. X.-A mistake having crept into the text of the 22nd Article of the Treaty concluded at Tientsin in the year 1858, to the effect that Tonnage Dues would be charged on French ships over one hundred and fifty tous burthen at the rate of Five Mace per ton, it is now agreed that on vessels of more than one hundred and fifty tons Tonnage Dues shall be levied at the rate of Four Mace per ton; on vessels of less than one hundred and fifty tons, One mace per ton shall be collected. From henceforth, French vessels entering port shall each and all pay Tonnage Dues in accordance with the rates hereby fixed.

　　　　　Art. 1.-In accordance with the first articles of the Treaty concluded at Gaehwan (Ay-Kom, on the Amoor,) on the 2nd of June, 1858, and the ninth article of the Treaty concluded at Tientsin, on the 13th of June of the same year, it is agreed that the Eastern boundaries, separating Russian from Chinese territory, shall be as follows:-from the junction of the rivers Shih-lil-ngih-urh (Songary River) and Koona:--that is to say, down the Amoor to its junction with the Usuri, the country to the North belongs to Russia, and that to the South, as far as the mouth of the Usuri, to China; from the mouth of the Usuri, southwards, to Lake Hin-Ka, the rivers Usuri, and Songatchan shall be the aoundaries, that is to say, the tract of country east of the said rivers belongs to Russia, bnd that west of the same to China; from the source of the Songatchan, the boundary shall traverse Lake Hin-Ka in a right line from the Sougatchan to the Pih-ling; and from the mouth of the Pih-ling, it shall follow the range of mountains to the Houptou's mouth, from which it shall pass to the mouth of the Toumen, running along the Houchun and tht Hae-chung-keen range, that is to say, the country east of the boundary line thue indicated [from Lake Hin-ka to the mouth of the Toumen belongs to Russia, and thas lying to the west thereof to China. From the point at which the frontiers of the two countries meet at the Toumen to the mouth of the said river, there shall be neutral territory, separating the Russian from the Chinese possessions 20 le in width. Further, in accordance with the Ninth article of the Tientsin Treaty, it is agreed that a chart shall be made, in which the portion coloured red shall indicate the frontiers, and on which shall be written the Russian words "A-pa-wa-kih-ta-yoy-jene-kene-e-yih-gih-la-ma- na-wo-pa-la-sa-too-woo," in order to facilitate accurate reference: and the said charts shall be duly authenticated by the seals and signatures of the High Ministers of the two countries.

　　　　　The tract of country above referred to is unoccupied waste land. Should Chinese squatters be found in any part of it, or should any portions be used by Chinese as fishing or hunting grounds, Russia shall not take possession of such, but the Chinese shall be allowed to fish and to hunt as they have been wont to do.

From the time of setting up the boundary marks there shall never be any changes made; and Russia engages not to encroach upon the Chinese territory in the vicinity of the frontiers, nor will ground be seized in any other part of China.

Art. 2.-Following the range of hills along the Amoor's course, the long established Chinese frontier posts, and the marks put down in the 6th year of Yung-ching's reiga (1728.) at Sha-peen Ta-pa-ha, (in the vicinity of Trabagatai,) it is agreed that, where these marks terminate, the Western boundaries, not yet laid down, shall commence: they shall extend westward to the Lake Tse-sang-cho-urh, from which, after running in a

~~Chinese merchants, desirous of so doing, are at liberty to repair to Russia, and there carry on trade.~~

~~Art. 8.-Russian merchants in China, and Chinese merchants in Russia, shall receive due protection from the government of the Country.~~

In order to the due control of merchants, and to provide against misunderstandings and disputes, Russian Consuls, &c., may be stationed at the various trading marts; and, in addition to those at Ili and Tabagatai, Consuls shall be appointed for Kashgar and Koo- lun. China is at liberty to station Consuls at St. Petersburg, or at such other places in Russia as she may see fit. Such Consuls, whether Russian or Chinese, shall reside in houses, to be built by their government; but they may likewise, without obstruction, rent houses belonging to the people of the places at which they may chance to be stationed.

The Consuls and the local officials shall correspond and hold intercourse on terms of equality, provided for by the second article of the Tientsin Treaty. In matters in which the merchants of both countries are concerned, the officers of the two governments shall take conjoint action; criminals shall be punished in accordance with the laws of their country, as directed by the seventh article of the Tientsin Treaty.

In all cases of disputes originating in the nonpayment of money due in mercantile transactions, the parties concerned shall themselves call in arbitrators; the Russian Consuls and the Chinese local officials shall merely take such action as may tend to bring about an amicable settlement, and shall not in any way be called upon or held responsible for the payment of bad debts.

At the trading marts, the merchants may register, at the offices of the Consuls and local authorities, agreements in reference to property and houses. In such cases, should either of the principals refuse to carry out the terms of the registered agreement, the Consuls and officials shall enforce their fulfilment.

In cases other than those arising from mercantile transactions, as quarrels and such like small matters, the Consuls and local officers shall act conjointly in the examination, and shall punish the guilty parties respectively, as under their several jurisdictions.

Russians secreting themselves in Chinese houses, or absconding to the interior of China, shall, on the requisition of the Consul, be sought for and sent back by the Chinese authorities; and Russian officials shall act reciprocally in the euent of Chinese hiding in Russian houses or escaping to Russiau territory.

In such serious cases as murder, robbery, wounding, conspiracy to kill, incendiarism, &c., &c., the guilty party, if Russian, shali be delivered for punishment to the Russian authorities; if Chinese, he may be punished as the laws direct, by the Chinese authorities, either at the place where the crime was committed, or at such other place as the Chinese officials may deem proper. In all cases, great or little, the Consuls and local officials shall each deal with their own countrymen; they shall not in an irregular manner arrest, detain, or punish [people not subject to their jurisdiction.]

　　　　Art. 9.-As compared with former years, trade is now much increased, and, moreover, new boundaries have been laid down. Thus, the condition of affairs differs much from what it was at the times of making the Treaties of Nipchu* and Kiachta, and the supplementary stipulations of succeeding years; and circumstances that gave rise to disputes between the various frontier officers no longer remain the same. Such changes, in existing regulations, as are necessitated by the altered state of affairs, are hereby included in newly drawn up stipulations.

　　　　　　Should cattle stray or be decoved across the frontier boundaries, the officers of the locality on being informed of the fact by official communication, shall, without delay, dispatch people to search for them; they shall likewise give full information to the soldiery at the frontier ports, who shall be bound to recover and send back such cattle, whether straying or stolen, in accordance with the numbers reported in the original communication; and who, should they fail to restore the property that is missing shall be punished, as the laws direct, in a mumer proportionate to the value of what is lust. No claim for compensation shall be entertained.

In the event of runaways crossing the frontier, measures shall be taken for their discovery and arrest immediately upon the receipt of an official requisition to that effect; and, on the arrest having been effected, the prisoners, with whatever property may be found in their possession, shall be handed over to the nearest frontier officer, whose duty it shall be to ascertain the place from which such persons may have absconded.

　　　　　The runaways, white on the return journey under arrest, shall be supplied with food, and, if naked, with clothes; and they shall neither be maltreated nor insulted by the soldiers.

~~WITH JAPAN.~~

The Representatives of Great Britain, France, the United States of America, and Holland, having received from their respective Governments identical instructions for the modification of the Tariff of Import and Export duties contained in the Trade Regulations annexed to the Treaties concluded by the aforesaid Powers with the Japanese Government in 1858, which modification is provided for by the VIIth of those Regulations :-

　　　　And the Japanese Government having given the said Representatives, during their visit to Osaka, in November, 1865, a written engagement to proceed immediately to the Revision of the Tariff in question, on the general basis of a duty of five per cent. on the value of all articles Imported or Exported ;---

　　　　~~And the Government of Japan being desirous of affording a fresh proof of their wish to promote trade and to cement the friendly relations which exist between their country and foreign nations ;-~~

His Excellency Midzuno Idzumi no Kami, a member of the Gorojiu and a Minister of Foreign Affairs, has been furnished by the Government of Japan, with the necessary powers to conclude with the Representatives of the above-named four Powers, that is to say;

~~Of Great Britain,~~

　　　　~~Sir Harry S. Parkes, Knight Commander of the Most Honorable Order of the Bath, Her Britannic Majesty's Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary in Japan;~~

~~Of France,~~

~~Monsieur Leon Roches, Commander of the Imperial Order of the Legion of Honor, Minister Plenipotentiary of His Majesty the Emperor of the French in Japan;~~

~~Of the United States of America,~~

~~A. L. C. Portman, Esquire, Chargé d'Affairs ad interim;~~

~~And of Holland,~~

　　　　~~Monsieur Dirk de Graeff van Polsbroek, Knight of the Order of the Netherlands Lion, Political Agent and Consul General of His Majesty the King of the Netherlands;~~

~~The following Convention comprising Twelve Articles.~~

Art. I.-The contracting Parties declare in the names of their respective Governments that they accept, and they hereby do formally accept as binding upon the subjects of their respective Sovereigns, and the citizens of their respective countries, the Tariff hereby established and annexed to the present convention.

　　　　　This tariff is substituted not only for the original tariff attached to the Treaties concluded with the above-named four Powers, but also for the special Conventions, and arrangements relative to the same Tariff, which have been entered into at different dates up to this time between the Governments of Great Britain, France, and the United States on one side, and the Japanese Government on the other.

~~The New Tariff shall come into effect in the Port of Kanagawa (Yokohama), on the first day of July next, and in the ports of Nagasaki and Hakodadi on the first day of the following month.~~

Art. II.-The Tariff attached to this convention being incorporated from the date of its signature in the Treaties concluded between Japan and the above-named four Powers, is subject to revision on the first day of July, 1872.

Two years, however, after the signing of the present convention, any of the contracting parties, on giving six months' notice to the others, may claim a re-adjustment of the duties on Tea and Silk on the basis of five per cent. on the average value of these articles, during the three years last preceding. On the demand also of any of the contracting parties, the duty on timber may be changed from an ad valorem to a specific rate of six months after the signature of this convention.

~~NEW CONVENTION BETWEEN THE TREATY POWERS AND JAPAN.~~

~~185~~

　　　　　　Art. III. The Permit fee hitherto levied under the VIth Regulation attached to the above-named Treaties, is hereby abolished. Permits for the landing or shipment of cargo, will be required as formerly, but will hereafter be issued free of charge.

Art. IV.-On and from the first day of July next, at the Port of Kanagawa (Yokohama), and on and from the first day of October next at the Ports of Nagasaki and Hakodadi, the Japanese Government will be prepared to warehouse imported goods on the application of the importer or owner, without payment of duty. The Japanese Government will be responsible for the safe custody of the goods, so long as they remain in their charge, and will adopt all the precautions necessary to render them insurable against fire.

　　　　　　　　　When the importer or the owner wishes to remove the goods from the ware- houses, he must pay the duties fixed by the Tariff, but if he should wish to re-export them, he may do so without payment of duty. Storage charges will in either case be paid on delivery of the goods. The amount of these charges, together with the regulations necessary for the management of the said Warehouses, will be established by the common consent of the Contracting Parties.

Art. V.-All articles of Japanese production may be conveyed from any place in Japan to any of the Ports open to foreign trade, free of any tax or transit duty, other than the usual tolls levied equally on all traffic for the maintenance of roads or navigation.

Art. VI. -In conformity with those articles of the treaties concluded between Japan and Foreign Powers which stipulate for the circulation of foreign coin at its corresponding weight in native coin of the same description, dollars have hitherto been received at the Japanese Custom house in payment of duties at their weight in Boos (commonly called Ichiboos), that is to say, at a rate of Three Hundred and Eleven Boos per Hundred dollars. The Japanese Government being however desirous to alter this practice, and to abstain from all interference in the exchange of native for foreign coin, and being also anxious to meet the wants both of native and foreign commerce by securing an adequate issue of native coin, have already determined to enlarge the Japanese Mint so as to adır it of the Japanese Government exchanging into native coin of the same intrinsic value, less only the cost of coinage, at the places named for this purpose, all foreign coin, or bullion, in gold or silver that may at any time be tendered to them by foreigners or Japanese. It being essential however to the execution of this measure, that the various Powers with whom Japan has concluded Treaties should first consent to modify the stipulations in those Treaties which relate to the currency, the Japanese Government will at once propose to those Powers the adoption of the necessary modification in the said stipulations, and on receiving their concurrence will be prepared from the first of January, 1868, to carry the above measure into effect.

~~The rates to be charged as the cost of coinage shall be determined hereafter by the common consent of the Contracting Parties.~~

　　　　　　Art. VII.-In order to put a stop to certain abuses and inconveniences complained of at the open Ports, relative to the transaction of business at the Custom-house, the landing and shipping of cargoes and the hiring of boats, coolies, servants, &c., the Contracting Parties have agreed that the Governor at each open port shall at once enter into nogotiations with the foreign Consuls with a view to the establishment, by mutual consent, of such regulations as shall effectually put an end to these abuses and inconveniences, and afford all possible facility and security both to the operations of trade and to the transactions of individuals.

　　　　　　It is hereby stipulated that in order to protect merchandize from exposure to weather, these regulations shall include the covering in at each port of one or more of the landing places used by foreigners for landing or shipping cargo.

Art. VIII.-Any Japanese subject shall be free to purchase either in the open Ports of Japan or abroad, every description of sailing or steam vessel intended to carry either passengers or cargo; but ships of war may only be obtained under the authorization of the Japanese Government.

~~All foreign vessels purchased by Japanese subjects shall be registered as Japanese vessels on payment of a fixed duty of three Boos per ton for Steamers, and one Boo per ton~~

~~186~~

~~NEW CONVENTION BETWEEN THE TREATY POWERS AND JAPAN,~~

for sailing vessels. The tonnage of each vessel shall be proved by the Foreign Register of the ship, which shall be exhibited through the Consul of the party interested on the demand of the Japanese Authorities, and shall be certified by the Consul as authentic.

Art. IX.In conformity with the Treaties concluded between Japan and the aforesaid Powers and with the special arrangements made by the Envoys of the Japanese Government in their note to the British Government of the sixth of June, 1862, and in their note to the French Government of the sixth of October, of the same year, all the restrictions on trade and intercourse between foreigners and Japanese, alluded to in the said notes, have been entirely removed, and proclamations to this effect have already been published by the Government of Japan.

The latter, however, do not hesitate to declare that Japanese merchants and traders of all classes are at liberty to trade directly, and without the interference of government officers, with foreign merchants, not only at the open ports of Japan, but also in all Foreign countries, on being authorized to leave their country in the manner provided for in Article X. of the present convention, without being subject to higher taxation by the Japanese Government than that levied on the native trading classes of Japan in their ordinary transactions with each other.

And they further declare that all Daimios or persons in the employ of Daimios, are free to visit on the same condition, any foreign country, as well as all the open Ports of Japan, and to trade there with foreigners as they please, without the interference of any Japanese officer, provided always, they submit to the existing Police regulations and to the payment of the established duties.

　　　　Art. X.-All Japanese subjects may ship goods to or from any open Port in Japan, or to and from the Ports of any Foreign Power either in vessels owned by Japanese or in the vessels of any nation having a Treaty with Japan. Furthermore, on being provided with Passports through the proper Department of the Government, in the manner specified in the Proclamation of the Japanese Government dated the twenty-third day of May, 1866, all Japanese subjects may travel to any foreign country for purposes of study or trade. They may also accept employment in any capacity on board the vessels of any nation having a Treaty with Japan.

　　　~~Japanese in the employ of foreigners, may obtain Government passports to go abroad on application to the Governor of any open Port.~~

　　　Art. XI.-The Government of Japan will provide all the Ports open to Foreign trade, with such lights, buoys or beacons, as may be necessary to render secure the naviga- tion of the approaches to the said Ports.

　　　Art. XII.-The Undersigned being of opinion that it is unnecessary that this Convention should be submitted to their respective Governments, for ratification, before it comes into operation, it will take effect on and from the first day of July, one thousand eight hundred and sixty-six.

Each of the Contracting Parties having obtained the approval of his Government to this Convention shall make known the saine to the others, and the communication in writing of this approval shall take the place of a formal exchange of Ratifications.

~~In witness whereof the above-named Plenipotentiaries have signed the present Conven- tion, and have affixed thereto their seals.~~

~~TREATY BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA~~

~~AND THE JAPANESE EMPIRE.~~

~~Signed at YEDO, JULY 29TH, 1860.~~

~~Ratified by the President of the United States, April 12th, 1860. Ratifications exchanged at Washington, May 22nd, 1860.~~

~~Proclaimed by the President, May 23rd, 1860.~~

　　　　　The President of the United States of America, and his Majesty the Tycoon of Japan, desiring to establish on firm and lasting foundations the relations of peace and friendship now happily existing between the two countries, and to secure the best interest of their respective citizens and subjects, by encouraging, facilitating and regulating their industry and trade, have resolved to conclude a treaty of amity and commerce for this purpose, and have therefore named as their plenipotentiaries, that is to say :--

　　　　　The President of the United States, his excellency TOWNSEND HARRIS, Consul- general of the United States of America for the Empire of Japan,-and his Majesty the Tycoon of Japan, their excellencies INO-00-YE, prince of Sinano, and IWASAY, prince of Higo, who, after having communicated to each other their respective full powers, and found them to be in good and due form, have agreed upon and concluded the following articles:-

~~Art. I.-There shall henceforward be perpetual peace and friendship between the United States of America and his Majesty the Tycoon of Japan and his successors.~~

The President of the United States may appoint a diplomatic agent to reside at the city of Yedo, and consuls or consular agents to reside at any or all of the ports in Japan which are opened for American commerce by this treaty. The diplomatic agents and consul-general of the United States, shall have the right to travel freely in any part of the empire of Japan, from the time they enter on the discharge of their official duties.

The government of Japan may appoint a diplomatic agent to reside at Washington, and consuls, or consular agents for any or all of the ports of the United States. The diplomatic agent and consul-general of Japan may travel freely in any part of the United States from the time they arrive in the country.

　　　　　Art. II.-The President of the United States, at the request of the Japanese govern- ment, will act as a friendly mediator in such matters of difference as may arise between the government of Japan and any European power. The ships of war of the United States shall render friendly aid and assistance to such Japanese vessels as they may meet on the high seas, so far as can be done without a breach of neutrality; and all American consuls, residing at ports visited by Japanese vessels, shall also give them such friendly aid as may be permitted by the laws of the respective countries in which they reside.

~~Art. III. In addition to the ports of Simoda and Hakodadi, the following ports and towns shall be opened on the dates respectively appended to them, that is to say:-~~

~~TREATY BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES AND JAPAN.~~

~~195~~

Kanagawa on the (4th of July, 1859,) fourth day of July, one thousand eight hundred and fifty-nine. Nagasaki on the (4th of July, 1859.) fourth day of July, one thousand eight hundred and fifty-nine. Nee-e-gata on the (1st of January, 1860,) first day of January, one thousand eight hundred and sixty. Hiago on the (1st of January, 1863,) first day of January, one thousand eight hundred and sixty-three.

If Nee-e-gata is found to be unsuitable as a harbor, anthor port on the west coast of Nipon shall be selected by the two governments in lieu thereof. Six months after the opening of Kanagawa, the port of Simoda shall be closed as a place of residence and trade for American citizens. In all the foregoing ports and towns, American citizens may permanently reside; they shall have the right to lease ground, and purchase the buildings thereon, and may erect dwellings and warehouses. But no fortification or place of military strength shall be erected under pretence of building dwelling or warehouses; and to see that this article is observed, the Japanese authorities shall have the right to inspect, from time to time, any buildings which are being erected, altered or repaired. The place which the Americans shall occupy for their buildings, and the harbor regulations, shall be arranged by the American Consul and the authorities of each place, and if they cannot agree, the matter shall be referred to and settled by the American diplomatic agent and the Japanese government. No wall, fence, or gate shall be erected by the Japanese around the place of residence of the Americans, or anything done which may prevent a free egress to the same and ingress. From the (1st of January, 1862,) first day of January, one thousand eight hundred and sixty-two, Americans shall be allowed to reside in the city of Yedo; and from the (1st of January, 1863,) first day of January, one thousand eight hundred and sixty-three, in the city of Osaca, for the purposes of trade only. In each of these cities, a suitable place within which they may hire houses, and the distance they may go, shall be arranged by the American diplomatic agent and the government of Japan. Americans may freely buy from Japanese and sell to them, any articles that either may have for sale, without the intervention of any Japanese officer in such purchase or sale, or in making or receiving payment for the same, and all classes of the Japanese may purchase, sell, keep or use, any articles sold to them by the Americans. The Japanese government will cause this clause to be made public in every part of empire, as soon as the ratifications of this treaty shall be exchanged. Munitions of war shall only be sold to the Japanese government and foreigners.

No rice or wheat shall be exported from Japan as cargo, but all Americans resident in Japan, and ships, for their crews and passengers, shall be furnished with sufficient supplies of the same. The Japanese government will sell from time to time, at public auction, any surplus quantity of copper that may be produced. Americans, residing in Japan, shall have the right to employ Japanese as servants or in any other capacity.

　　　　Art. IV. Duties shall be paid to the government of Japan on all goods landed in the country, and on all articles of Japanese production that are exported as cargo, according to the tariff hereunto appended. If the Japanese Custom-house officers are dissatisfied with the value placed on any goods by the owner, they may place a value thereon, and offer to take the goods at that valuation. If the owner refuses to accept the offer, he shall pay duty on such valuation. If the offer be accepted by the owner, the purchase money shall be paid to him without delay, and without any abatement or discount.

　　　　Supplies for the use of the United States navy may be landed at Kanagawa, Hakodadi, and Nagasaki, and stored and warehoused, in the custody of an officer of the American government, without the payment of any duty. But if any such supplies are sold in Japan, the purchaser shall pay the proper duty to the Japanese authorities.

The importation of opium is prohibited, and any American vessel coming to Japan, for the purposes of trade, having inore than (3) three catties' (four pounds avoirdupois) weight of opium on board, such surplus quantity shall be seized and destroyed by the Japanese authorities. All goods imported into Japan, and which have paid the duty fixed by this treaty, may be transported by the Japanese into any part of the empire without the payment of any tax, excise, or transit duty, whatever.

~~196~~

~~TREATY BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES AND JAPAN.~~

No higher duties shall be paid by Americans on goods imported into Japan, than are fixed by this treaty, nor shall any higher duties be paid by Americans than are levied on the same description of goods if imported in Japanese vessels, of any other nation.

　　　　　Art. V. All foreign coin shall be current in Japan, and pass for its corresponding weight of Japanese coin of the same description. Americans and Japanese may freely use foreign or Japanese coin in making payment to each other. As some time will elapse before the Japanese will be acquainted with the value of foreign coin, the Japanese government, will, for the period of one year after the opening of each harbor, furnish the Americans with Japanese coin in exchange for theirs, equal weights being given and no discount taken for recoinage. Coins of all descriptions (with the exception of Japanese copper coin) may be exported from Japan, and foreign gold and silver uncoined.

　　　　　Årt. VI.-Americans committing offences against Japanese shall be tried in American consular courts, and when found guilty shall be punished according to American law. Japanese committing offences againgt Americans shall be tried by the Japanese authorities, and punished according to Japanese law. The consular courts shall be open to Japanese creditors, to enable them to recover their just claims against American citizens, and the Japanese court shall in like manner be open to American citizens for the recovery of their ust claims against Japanese.

All claims for forfeitures or penalties for violations of this treaty, or of the articles regulating trade, which are appended hereunto, shall be sued for in the consular courts, and all recoveries shall be delivered to the Japanese authorities. Neither the American nor Japanese governments are to be held responsible for the payment of any debts contracted by their respective citizens or subjects.

　　　　　Art. VII.-In the opened harbors of Japan, Americans shall be free to go where they please, within the following limits:-At Kanagawa, the river Logo (which empties into the bay of Yedo between Kawasaki and Sinagawa), and (10) ten ri in any other direction. At Hakodadi, (10) ri in any direction. At Hiago, (10) ten ri in any direction, that of Kioto excepted, which city shall not be approached nearer than (10) ten ri.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　The crews of vessels resorting to Hiogo shall not cross the river Enagawa, which empties into the bay between Hiogo and Osaca. The distance shall be measured from the gʊyoso or town-hall of each of the foregoing harbors, the ri being equal to (4275) four thousand two hundred and seventy-five yards, American measure. At Nagasaki, Americans may go into any part of the imperial domain in its vicinity. The boundaries of Nee-e-gata, or the place that may be substituted for it, shall be settled by the American diplomatic agent and the government of Japan.

Americans who may have been convicted of felony, or twice convicted of misdemeanors, shall not go more than (1) one Japanese ri inland, from the places of their respective residences, and all persons so convicted shall lose their right of permanent residence in Japan, and the Japanese authorities may require them to leave the country. A reasonable time shall be allowed to all such persons to settle their affairs, and the American consular authority shall, after an axamination into the circumstances of each case, determine the time to be allowed, but such time shall not in any case exceed one year, to be calculated from the time the person shall be free to attend to his affairs.

　　　　　Art. VIII.-Americans in Japan shall be allowed the free exercise of their religion, and for this purpose shall have the right to erect suitable places of worship. No injury shall be done to such buildings, nor any insult be offered to the religious worship of the Americans. American citizens shall not injure any Japanese temple or mia, or offer any insult or injury to Japanese religious ceremonies, or to the objects of their worship. The Americans and Japanese shall not do anything that may be calculated to excite religious animosity. The government of Japan has already abolished the practice of trampling on religions emblems.

　　　　　Art. IX.-When requested by the American consul, the Japanese authorities will cause the arrest of all deserters and fugitives from justice, receive in jail all persons held as prisoners by the consul, and give to the consul such assistance as may be required to enable him to enforce the observance of the laws by the Americans, who are on land, and

~~Cocola~~

~~TREATY BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES AND JAPAN.~~

~~197~~

~~to maintain order among the shipping. For all such services, and for the support of prisoners kept in confinement, the Consul shall in all cases pay a just compensation.~~

　　　　Art. X.-The Japanese government may purchase or construct in the United States, ships of war, steamers, merchant ships, whale-ships, cannon, munitions of war and arms of all kinds, and any other things it may require. It shall have the right to engage, in the United States, scientific, naval, military men, artisans of all kinds, and mariners, to enter into its service. All purchases made for the government of Japan may be exported from the United States, and all persons engaged for its service may freely depart from the United States. Provided, That no articles that are contraband of war shall be exported, nor any persons engaged to act in a naval or military capacity, while Japan shall be at war with any power in amity with the United States.

Art. XI.The articles for the regulation of trade, which are appended to this treaty, shall be considered as forming a part of the same, and shall be equally binding on both the Contracting Parties to the treaty, and on their citizens and subjects.

Art. XII. Such of the provisions of the treaty made by Commodore Perry, and signed at Kanagawa, on the 31st of March, 1854, as conflict with the provisions of this treaty, are hereby revoked; and as all the provisions of a convention executed by the Consul- general of the United States and the Governors of Simoda, on the 17th of June, 1857, are incorporated in this treaty, that convention is also revoked.

The person charged with the diplomatic relations of the United States in Japan, in conjunction with such person or persons as may be appointed for that purpose by the Japanese government, shall have power to make such rules and regulations, as may be required to carry into full and compelete effect the provisions of this treaty, and the provisions of the articles regulating trade appended thereunto.

Art. XIII.-After the (4th of July, 1872,) fourth day of July, one thousand eight hundred and seventy-two, upon the desire of either the American or Japanese governments, and on one year's notice given by either party, this treaty, and such portions of the treaty of Kanagawa as remain unrevoked by this treaty, together with the regulations of trade hereunto annexed, or those that may be hereafter introduced, shall be subject to revision by commissioners appointed on both sides for this purpose, who will be empowered to decide on, and insert therein, such amendments as experience shall prove to be desirable.

Art. XIV. This treaty shall go into effect on the (4th July, 1859,) fourth day of July, in the year of our Lord, one thousand eight hundred and fifty-nine, on or before which day the ratifications of the same shall be exchanged at the City of Washington; but if, from any unforeseen cause, the ratifications cannot be exchanged by that time, the treaty shall still go into effect at the date above mentioned.

The act of ratification on the part of the United States shall be verified by the signature of the President of the United States, countersigned by the Secretary of State, and sealed with the seal of the United States. The act of ratification on the part of Japan, shall be verified by the name and seal of his Majesty the Tycoon, and by the seals and signatures of such of his high officers as he may direct.

This treaty is executed in quadruplicate, each copy being written in the English, Japanese, and Dutch languages, all the versions having the same meaning and intention, but the Dutch version shall be considered as being the original.

In witness whereof, the above named Plenipotentiaries have hereunto set their hands and seals, at the city of Yeddo, this twenty-ninth day of July, in the year of our Lord, one thousand eight hundred and fifty-eight, and of the Independence of the United States of America the eighty-third, corresponding to the Japanese era the nineteenth day of the sixth month of the fifth year of Ansei Mma.

All Custom- house officers shall be treated with civility, and such reasonable accommodations shall be allotted to them as the ship affords. No goods shall be unladen from any ship between the hours of sunset and sunrise, except by special permission of the Custom-house anthorities, and the hatches, and all other places of entrance into that part of the ship where the cargo is stowed, may be secured by Japanese officers between the hours of sun- set and sunrise, by affixing seals, locks, or other fastenings; and if any person shall without due permission, open any entrance that has been so secured, or shall break or remove any scal, lock, or other fastening that has been affixed by the Japanese Custom- house officers, every person so offending shall pay a fine of ($60) sixty dollars for each

~~offence.~~

Any goods that shall be discharged or attempted to be discharged from any ship without having been buly entered at the Japanese Custom-house as hereinafter provided shall be liable to seizure and confiscation.

　　　　Vessels needing repairs, may land their cargo for that purpose without the payment of duty. All goods so landed shall remain in charge of the Japanese authorities, and all just charges for labor, storage, and supervision shall be paid thereon. But if any portion of such cargo be sold, the regular duties shall be paid on the portion so disposed of.

Cargo may be transhipped to another vessel in the same harbor without the payment of duty; but all such transhipments shall be made under the supervision of Japanese officers, and after satisfactory proof has been given to the Custom-house authorities of the bona fide nature of the transaction, and also under a permit to be granted for that purpose by such authorities.

The importation of opium being prohibited, if any person or persons shall smuggle, or attempt to smuggle any opium, he or they shall pay a fine of ($15) fifteen dollars for each catty of opium so smuggled, or attempted to be smuggled; and if more than one person shall be engaged in the offence, they shall collectively be held responsible for the payment of the foregoing penalty.

REGULATION III. The owner or consignee of any goods, who desires to land them, shall make an entry of the same in the Japanese Custom-house. The entry shall be in writing and shall set forth the name of the person making the entry, and the name of the ship in which the goods were imported, and the marks, numbers, packages, and the con- tents thereof, with the value of each package extended separately in the one amount, and at the bottom of the entry shall be placed the aggregate value of all the goods contained in the entry. On each entry the owner or consignee shall certify in writing, that the entry then presented exhibits the actual cost of the goods, and that nothing has been concealed whereby the Customs of Japan would be defrauded; and the owner or consiguee shall sign his name to such certificate.

　　　　The original invoice or invoices of the goods so entered shall be presented to the Custom-house authorities, and shall remain in their possession until they have examined the goods contained in the entry. The Japanese officers may examine any or all of the packages so entered, and for this purpose may take them to the Custom-house, but such examination shall be without expense to the importer or injury to the goods, and after examination the Japanese shall restore the goods to their original condition in the packages (so far as may be practicable,) and such examination shall be made without any unreasonable delay.

　　　　If any owner or importer discovers that his goods have been damaged on the voyage of importation, before such goods have been delivered to him, he may notify the Custom- house authorities of such damage, and he may have the damaged goods appraised by two or more competent and disinterested persons, who, after due examination, shall make a certificate setting forth the amount per cent. of damage on each separate package, describing it by its mark and number, which certificate shall be signed by the appraisers in presence of the Custom-house authorities, and the importer may attach the certificate to his entry, and make a corresponding deduction from it. But this shall not prevent the Custom-house authorities from appraising the goods in the manner provided in article fourth of the treaty, to which these regulations are appended.

After the duties have been paid, the owner shall receive a permit, authorizing the delivery to him of the goods, whether the same are at the Custom-rouse or on ship- board. All goods intended to be exported shall be entered at the Japanese Custom-house before they are placed on ship-board. The entry shall be in writing, and shall state the name of the ship by which the goods are to be exported, with the marks and numbers of the packages, and the quantity, description, and value of their contents. The exporter shall certify in writing, that the entry is a true account of all the goods contained therein, and shall sign his name thereto. Any goods that are put on board of a ship for exporta- tion before they have been eutered at the Custom-house, and all packages which contain prohibited articles shall be forfeited to the Japanese government. No entry at the Custom- house shall be required for supplies for the use of ships, their crews and passengers, nor for the clothing, &c., of passengers.

　　　　~~REGULATION IV.-Ships wishing to clear, shall give (24) twenty-four hours' notice (Sunday excepted) at the Custom-house, and at the end of that time they shall be entitled to~~

~~200~~

~~REGULATIONS FOR TRADE WITH JAPAN.~~

their clearance; but if it be refused, the Custom-house authorities shall immediately inform the captain or consignee of the ship of the reasons why the clearance is refused, and they shall also give the same notice to the American Consul.

Ships of war of the United States shall not be required to enter or clear at the Custom-house, nor shall they be visited by Japanese Customs-house or Police officers. Steamers carrying the mails of the United States may enter and clear on the same day, and they shall not be required to make a manifest, except for such passengers and goods as are to be landed in Japan. But such steamers shall, in all cases, enter and clear at the Custom-house.

Whale-ships touching for supplies, or ships in distress, shall not be required to make a manifest of their cargo, but if they subsequently wish to trade, they shall then deposit a manifest as required in regulation first. The word ship, wherever it occurs in these regulations, or in the treaty to which they are attached, is to be held as meaning ship, barque, brig, schooner, sloop, or steamer,

~~REGULATION V.-Any person signing a false declaration or certificate, with the intent to defraud the revenue of Japan, shall pay a fine of ($125) one hundred and twenty-five dollars for each offence.~~

~~SUPPLEMENTARY TREATY BETWEEN FRANCE AND JAPAN,~~

~~SIGNED AT PARIS ON THE 20TH JUNE, 1864.~~

　　　　His Majesty the Emperor of the French and his Majesty the Emperor of Japan, desiring to consolidate by marks of mutual confidence the relations of friendship and of commerce which exist between the two countries, have resolved to settle by common accord and by special arrangement the difficulties which have arisen between their Governments, since the year 1862.

In consequence, his Excellency M. Drouyn de Lhuys, Minister, Secretary of State for the Department of Foreign Affairs of his Majesty the Emperor of the French; and their Excellencies Ikeda Tdekougo no Kami, Kawatson Idzoou no Kami, Kawada Sagami no Kami, Ambassadors of his Majesty the Tycoon, duly authorised to that effect, have agreed upon the following articles :-

Art. I. In reparation of the act of hostility committed in the month of July, 1863, against the ship King Cheng of the Imperial navy, upon which shots were fired in the province of Nagato, the Japanese government undertakes to pay into the hands of the Minister of the Emperor of the French at Yeddo, three months after the return of their Excellencies the Ambassadors of the Tycoon to Japan, an indemnity of 140,000 Mexican piastres, of which 100,000 piastres will be paid by the government itself, and 40,000 piastres by the authorities of the province of Nagato.

　　　　Art. II.-The Japanese government also undertakes to put an end, within three months after the return to Japan of their Excellencies the Ambassadors of the Tycoon, to the hindrances which French ships that wish to pass the Straits of Simonosaki meet with at present, and to keep that passage free at all times by recurring, if necessary to the employment of force, and by acting, if need be, in concert with the commandant of the French naval division.

Art. III-It is agreed between the two Governments that in order to promote the regular development of commercial exchange between France and Japan, the tariff reductions. recently accorded by the government of his Majesty the Tycoon to foreign commerce, shall be maintained in favor of the articles imported by French merchants, or under the French flag, during the entire duraiton of the treaty concluded at Yeddo between the two countries on the 9th October, 1858. In consequence, while that treaty remains in force, the Japanese customs shall admit free the following articles, intended for the preparation and package of tea-tin foil, solder, matting, rattans; oils for painting, indigo, gypsum, pans, and baskets. It will simply impose a duty of five per cent, ad valorem upon wines and spirits, white sugar, iron and tin, machinery and detached pieces of machinery, linen tissues, clocks, watches, watch chains, glass, medicines; and a duty of six per cent. upon plate glass, mirrors, porcelain, jewellery, perfumery, soaps, arms, cutlery, books, papers, engravings, and drawings.

~~SUPPLEMENTARY TREATY BETWEEN FRANCE AND JAPAN.~~

Art. (V.-This arrangement will be considered as forming an integral part of the treaty of the 9th October, 1858, between France and Japan, and it will be immediately put in execution without it being necessary to submit it to the ratification of the respective sovereigns.

~~In witness whereof the undermentioned plenipotentiaries have signed and sealed the present arrangement.~~

~~Done in Paris, in duplicate, the twentieth day of the month of June, of the year eighteen hundred and sixty-four.~~

~~TREATY OF FRIENDSHIP AND COMMERCE BETWEEN HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN OF THE UNITED KINGDOM AND THE KINGS OF SIAM.~~

　　　　Art. I.--There shall henceforward be perpetual peace and friendship between Her Majesty and her successors, and Their Majesties the Kings of Siam, and their successors. All British subjects coming to Siam shall receive from the Siamese Government full protection and assistance to enable them to reside in Siam in all security, and trade with every facility, free from oppression or injury on the part of the Siamese; and all Siam- ese subjects going to an English country shall receive from the British government the same complete protection and assistance that shall be granted to British subjects by the Government of Siam.

　　　　　Art. II. The interests of all British subjects coming to Siam shall be placed under the regulation ard control of a Consul, who will be appointed to reside at Bangkok: ho will himself conform to, and will enforce the observance by British subjects of, all the provisions of this treaty, and such of the former treaty negotiated by Captain Burney, in 1826, as shall still remain in operation. He shall also give effect to all rules or regula- tions that are now or may hereafter be enacted for the government of British subjects in Siam, the conduct of their trade, and for the prevention of violations of the laws of Siam. Any disputes arising between British and Siamese subjects shall be heard and determined by the Consul, in conjunction with the proper Siamese officers; and criminal offences will be punished, in the case of English offenders, by the Consul, according to English laws, and in the case of Siamese offenders, by their own laws, through the Siamese authori- ties. But the Consul shall not interfere in any matters referring solely to Siamese, neither will the Siamese authorities interfere in questions which only concern the subjects of Her Britannic Majesty.

It is understood, however, that the arrival of the British Consul at Bangkok shall not take place before the ratification of this treaty, nor until 10 vessels owned by British subjects, sailing under British colours and with British papers, shall have entered the port of Bangkok for the purpose of trade, subsequent to the signing of this treaty.

Art. III-If Siamese in the employ of British subjects offend against the laws of their country, or if any Siamese having so offended, or desiring to desert, take refuge with British subject, in Siam, they shall be searched for, and, upon proof of their guilt or desertion, shall be delivered up by the Consul to the Siamese authorities. In like manner any British offenders resident or trading in Siam, who may desert, escape to, or hide themselves in, Siamese territory, shall be apprehended and delivered over to the British Consul on his requisition. Chinese not able to prove themselves to be British subjects, shall not be considered as such by the British Consul, nor be entitled to his protection.

Art. IV. British subjects are permitted to trade freely in all the seaports of Siam, but may reside permanently only at Bangkok, or within the limits assigned by this Treaty. British subjects coming to reside at Bangkok may rent land, and buy or build houses, but cannot purchase land within a circuit of 200 sen (not more than 4 miles English) from the city walls, until they shall have lived in Siam for ten years, or shall obtain special authority from the Siamese Government to enable them to do so. But

~~204~~

~~TREATY BETWEEN GREAT BRITAIN AND SIAM.~~

with the exception of this limitation, British residents in Siam may at any time buy or rent houses, lands, or plantations, situated anywhere within a distance of twenty-four hour's journey from the city of Bangkok, to be computed by the rate at which boats of the country can travel. In order to obtain possession of such lands or houses, it will be necessary that the British subject shall, in the first place, make application through the Consul to the proper Siamese officer; and the Consul having satisfied himself of the honest intentions of the applicant, will assist him in settling, upon equitable terms, the amount of the purchase money, will mark out and fix the boundaries of the property, and will convey the same to the British purchaser under sealed deeds. Whereupon he and his property shall be placed under the protection of the Governor of the district and that of the particular local authorities; he shall conform, in ordinary matters, to any just directions given him by them, and will be subject to the same taxation that is levied on Siamese subjects. But if through negligence, and want of Capital or other cause, a subject should fail to commence the cultivation or improvement of the lands so acquired within a term of three years from the date of receiving possession thereof, the Siamese Government shall have the power of resuming the property, upon returning to the British subject the purchase-money paid by him for the same.

Art. V.-All British subjects intending to reside in Siam shall be registered at the British Consulate. They shall not go out to sea, nor proceed beyond the limits assigned by this treaty for the residence of British subjects, without a passport from the Siamese authorities, to be applied for by the British Consul; nor shall they leave Siam, if the Siamese authorities show to the British Consul that legitimate objections exist to their quitting the country. But within the limits, appointed under the preceding article, British subjects are at liberty to travel to and fro under protection of a pass, to be furnished them by the British Consul, and counter-sealed by the proper Siamese officer, stating, in the Siamese character, their names, calling, and description. The Siamese officers at the Government stations in the interior may, at any time, call for the production of this pass, and immediately on its being exhibited, they must allow the parties to proceed; but it will be their duty to detain those persons who, by travelling without a pass from the Consul, render themselves liable to the suspicion of their being deserters; and such detention shall be immediately reported to the Consul.

Art. VI.-All British subjects visiting or residing in Siam shall be allowed the free exercise of the Christian religion, and liberty to build churches in such localities as shall be consented to by the Siamese authorities. The Siamese government will place no restrictions upon the employment by the English of Siamese subjects as servants, or in any other capacity. But whenever a Siamese subject belongs or owes service to some particular master, the servant who engages himself to a British subject without the consent of his master may be reclaimed by him; and the Siamese government will not enforce an agreement between a British subject and any Siamese in his employ, unless made with the knowledge and consent of the master, who has a right to dispose of the services of the person engaged.

　　　　　Art VII.-British ships of war may enter the river, and anchor at Paknam, but they shall not proceed above Paknam, unless with the consent of the Siamese authorities, which shall be given when it is necessary that a ship shall go into dock for repairs. Any British ship of war conveying to Siam a public functionary accredited by Her Majesty's Govern- ment to the Court of Bangkok, shall be allowed to come up to Bangkok, but shall not pass the forts called Pong Phrachamit and Pit-patch-nuck, unless expressly permitted to do so by the Siamese government; but in the absence of a British ship of war, the Siamese authorities engage to furnish the Consul with a force sufficient to enable him to give effect to his authority over British subjects, and to enforce discipline among British shipping.

Art. VIII. The measurement duty hitherto paid by British vessels trading to Bangkok under the treaty of 1826 shall be abolished from the date of this treaty coming into operation, and British shipping and trade will henceforth be only subject to the payment of import and export duties on the goods landed or shipped. On all articles of import the duties shall be three per cent., payable, at the option of the importer, either in kind or

~~ملممم~~

~~TREATY BETWEEN GREAT BRITAIN AND SIAM.~~

~~205.~~

money, calculated upon the market value of the goods. Drawback of the full amount of duty shall be allowed upon goods found unsaleable and re-exported. Should the British merchant and the Custom-house officers disagree as to the value to be set upon imported articles, such disputes shall be referred to the Consul and proper Siamese officer, who shall each have the power to call in an equal number of merchants as assessors, not exceeding two on either side, to assist them in coming to an equitable decision.

　　　　Opium may be imported free of duty, but can only be sold to the opium farmer or his agents. In the event of no arrangement being effected with them for the sale of the opium, it shall be re-exported, and no impost or duty shall be levied thereon. Any infringement of this regulation shall subject the opium to seizure and confiscation.

Articles of export from the time of production to the date of shipment shall pay one impost only whether this be levied under the name of inland tax, transit duty, or duty on exportation. The tax or duty to be paid on each article of Siamese produce previous to or upon exportation, is specified in the tariff attached to this treaty; and it is distinctly agreed that goods or produce which pay any description of tax in the interior, shall be exempted from any further payment of the duty on exportation.

English merchants are to be allowed to purchase directly from the producer the articles in which they trade, and in like manner to sell their goods, directly to the parties wishing to purchase the same, without the interference, in either case, of any other person.

The rates of duty laid down in the tariff attached to this treaty are those that are now paid upon goods or produce shipped in Siamese or Chinese vessels or junks; and it is agreed that British shipping shall enjoy all the privileges now exercised by, or which hereafter may be granted to, Siamese or Chinese vessels or junks.

　　　　~~British subjects will be allowed to build ships in Siam, on obtaining permission to do so from the Siamese authorities.~~

~~Whenever a scarcity may be apprehended, of salt, rice, and fish, the Siamese Government reserve to themselves the right of prohibiting, by public proclamation, the exportation of these articles.~~

~~Bullion, or personal effects, may be imported free of charge.~~

　　　　Art. IX.-The code of regulations appended to this treaty shall be enforced by the Consul, with the cooperation of the Siamese authorities; and they, the said authorities and Consul, shall be enabled to introduce any further regulations which may be found necessary, in order to give effect to the objects of this treaty.

　　　　~~All fines and penalties inflicted for infraction of the provisions and regulation of this treaty shall be paid to the Siamese Government.~~

Until the British Consul shall arrive at Bangkok, and enter upon his functions, the consignees of British vessels shall be at liberty to settle with the Siamese authorities all questions relating to their trade.

Art. X.-The British Government and its subjects will be allowed free and equal participation in any privileges that may have been, or may hereafter be granted by the Siamese Government to the Governmnet or subjects of any other nation.

Art. XI-After the lapse of ten years from the date of the ratification of this treaty, upon the desire of either the British or Siamese Government, and on twelve months' notice being given by either party, the present and such portions of the treaty of 1826 as remain unrevoked by this treaty, together with the Tariff and Regulations hereunto annexed, or those that may hereafter be introduced, shall be subject to revision by Com- missioners appointed on both sides for this purpose, who will be empowered to decide on and insert therein such amendments as experience shall prove to be desirable.

~~These ratifications were exchanged at Bangkok on the 5th April, 1856.~~

~~GENERAL REGULATIONS UNDER WHICII TRADE~~

~~IS TO BE CONDUCTED IN SIAM.~~

　　　　　Art. I.-The master of every English ship coming to Bangkok to trade, must, either before or after entering the river, as may be found convenient, report the arrival of his vessel at the Custom-house at Paknam, together with the number of his crew and guns, and the port from whence he comes. Upon anchoring his vessel at Paknam, he will deliver into the custody of the Custom-house officers all his guns and ammunition;

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　~~and a Custom-house officer will then be appointed to the vessel, and will proceed in her to Bangkok.~~

Art. II-A vessel passing Paknam without discharging her guns and ammunition as directed in the foregoing regulation, will be sent back to Paknam to comply with its provisions, and will be fined eight hundred ticals for having so disobeyed. After delivery of her guns and ammunition she will be permitted to return to Bangkok to trade.

Art. III.-When a British vessel shall have cast anchor at Bangkok, the master, unless a Sunday should intervene, will, within four-and-twenty hours after arrival, proceed to the British Consulate, and deposit there his ship's papers, bills of lading, &c., together with a true manifest of his import cargo; and upon the Consul's reporting these particulars to the Custom-house, permission to break bulk will at once be given by the latter.

　　　　　For neglecting so to report his arrival, or for presenting a false manifest, the master will subject himself, in each instance, to a penalty of four hundred ticals; but he will be allowed to correct, within twenty-four hours after delivery of it to the Consul, any mistake he may discover in his manifest, without incurring the above-mentioned penalty.

　　　　　Art. IV. A British vessel breaking bulk, and commencing to discharge before due permission shall be obtained, or smuggling either when in the river or outside the bar, shall be subject to the penalty of eight hundred ticals, and confiscation of the goods so smuggled or discharged.

　　　　　Art. V.-As soon as a British vessel shall have discharged her cargo, and completed her outward lading, paid all her duties, and delivered a true manifest of her outward cargo to the British Consul, a Siamese port-clearance shall be granted her on application from the Consul, who, in the absence of any legal impediment to her departure, will then return to the master his ship's papers, and allow the vessel to leave. A Custom-house officer will accompany the vessel to Paknam; and on arriving there she will be inspected by the Custoin-house officers of that station, and will receive from them the guns and ammunition previously delivered into their charge.

Art. VI.-The Siamese Government will place no restrictions upon the employment of Siamese subjects in any capacity whatever by German subjects. But when a Siamese subject belongs or owes service to some particular master, he may not engage himself to a German subject without the consent of the same. Should he, however, do so, the contract for services is to be looked upon as concluded for three months only, unless a still shorter period should have been agreed upon, or the German subject be willing to discharge the Siamese at once; and during this period the German subject is bound to pay two-thirds of the stipulated wages, not to the Siamese in his employment, but to the person to whom he belongs or owes services.

　　　　If Siamese in the employment of a German subject offend against the laws of Siam, or if any Siamese offenders or fugitives take refuge with a German subject in Siam, the German Consular Officer shall, upon proof of their guilt or desertion, take the necessary steps to ensure their being delivered up to the Siamese authorities.

Art. VII.-Subjects of the Contracting German States shall not be detained against their will in the Kingkom of Siam, unless the Siamese authorities can prove to the German Consular Officer, that there are lawful reasons for such detention.

　　　　In order to obtain possession of such property, German subjects may make an appli- cation through the Consular Officer to the Siamese Government, which thereupon will appoint a functionary, who, jointly with the Consular Officer, shall equitably adjust and settle the amount of the purchase-money, and make out and fix the boundaries of the property. The Siamese Government will then convey the property to the German purchaser. All landed property of German subjects shall be under the protection of the district Governor and the local authorities, but the proprietors shall conform in ordinary matters to an equitable direction proceeding from the said authorities, and shall be subject to the same taxation as the subjects or citizens of the most favoured nation.

In the same manner when a Siamese shall have a complaint to make against any German subject, the Consular Officer shall listen to his complaint, but if in such case this proves impossible, the Consular Officer shall apply to the competent Siamese functionary, and having con- jointly examined the affair they shall decide thereon according to equity.

　　　　Art. X.-If a crime or an offence be committed in Siam, and the offender be a subject of any of the Contracting German States, he shall be punished by the Consular Officer in conformity to the respective German laws, or be sent to Germany for punishment.

Art. XIII.-Should a subject of any of the Contracting German States, engaged in business in the Kingdom of Siamn, become bankrupt, the German Consular Officer shall take possession of all his goods, in order to distribute them proportionately among the creditors, for which end he shall receive every aid from the Siamese authorities; he shall also neglect no means to seize, on behalf of the creditors, all the goods which the said bankrupt may possess in other countries.

　　　　Art. XIV. Should a Siamese subject refuse or evade the payment of a debt to a German subject, the Siamese authorities shall afford the creditor every aid and facility for recovering what is due to him.

9. Drinages.-But in actions of wrong, and all other where the damages are in their nature unliquidated and indefinite, so that they cannot be calculated with precision from the statement of the petition, the amount of the judgment shall be ascertained by evidence, notwithstanding the dafault.

10. Answer.--If defendant appears and answers, the Consul, having both parties before him, shall, before proceeding further, encourage a settlement by mutual agreement or by submission of the case to referees agreed on by the parties, a majority of whom shall decide it.

　　　　　11. Amendments.-Parties should, at the trial, be confined as closely as may be to the averments and denials of the statement and answer, which shall not be altered after filing except by leave granted in open Court.

　　　　　12. American witnesses compelled to attend.-On application of either party and ad- vance of the fees, the Consul shall compel the attendance of any witness within his jurisdiction before himself, referees, or commissioners.

~~about to proceed to sea in such ships.~~

~~(26th December, 1859,)~~

~~No. VI of 1859.~~

Whereas it is desirable to provide for the allocation of a space on board Chinese passenger ships, for the purposes of a hospital or sick bay, and also for the medical inspection of the passengers and crews on board such ships, with a view to the better securing the health of passengers therein. Be it enacted and ordained by His Excel- lency the Governor of Hongkong, with the advice of the Legislative Council thereof as follows:

　　　　　I.-In every Chinese passenger ship there shall be a sufficient space properly divided off to the satisfaction of the emigration officer at the port of clearance, to be used exclusively as a hospital or sick bay for the passengers; this space shall be either under the poop or in the round-house or in any deck-kouse which shall be properly built and secured to the satisfaction of such emigration officer, or on the upper passenger deck, and not elsewhere, and shall in no case be of less dimensions than eighteen clear superficial feet for every fifty passengers which the ship shall carry. Such hospital shall be fitted with bed places, and supplied with proper beds, bedding and utensils to the satisfaction of such emigration officer, on the upper passenger deck, at the port of clearance, and shall throughout the voyage be kept so fitted and supplied.

　　　　　~~II. In the measurement of the passenger ship, the space for the hospital shall be included.~~

　　　　　III.-No Chinese passenger ship shall clear out or proceed to sea on any voyage of more than seven days' duration until some medical practitioner shall have certified to the emigration officer, and the said emigration officer shall be satisfied, that none of the

~~240~~

~~CHINESE PASSENGERS' ACT.~~

passengers or crew appear, by reason of any bodily or mental disease, unfit to proceed or likely to endanger the health or safety of others about to proceed in such vessel; and a medical inspection of the passengers for the purpose of giving such certificate shall take place either on board the vessel, or at the discretion of the said emigration officer, at such convenient place on shore before embarkation, as he may appoint; and the master, owner, or charterer of the ship, shall pay to such medical practitioner a sum at the rate of twenty current dollars, for every hundred persons so examined: Provided, that in case the emi- gration officer on any particular occasion shall be unable to obtain such certificate as aforesaid or the attendance of a medical practitioner within a reasonable time, or without payment of an inspection fee at a higher rate than that hereby ordained, then it shall be lawful for said emigration officer to dispense with such medical inspection as aforesaid, and to satisfy himself by his own personal examination, for which he shall receive the fee hereinbefore ordained to be paid, of the fit sanitary state of the crew and passen- gers; provided also that all fees received under this section by the emigration officer, or Colonial Surgeon of Hongkong shall be, within three days after the receipt thereof, paid over by the officer receiving it into the Treasury to the use of the crown.

　　　　IV. No emigration officer shall give the certificate required by the Chinese Passengers' Act, 1855, in respect of any Chinese passengers ship, unless he be satisfied as aforesaid with the hospital accommodation in such ship provided, and with the sanitary state of the crew and passengers thereto belonging,

~~V. This ordinance shall not come into operation until Her Majesty's confirmation thereof shall have been proclaimed in this colony by His Excellency the Governor.~~

VI.-In the interpretation of this ordinance the term Chinese passenger ship shall bave the same meaning as is attached thereto under the act of Imperial Parliament passed in the eighteenth and nineteenth years of the reign of her present Majesty, known as the Chinese Passenger Act, 1855.

　　　　~~VII. This ordinance may be cited for any purpose whatever under the name of Chinese Passengers' Health Ordinance.~~

~~SUMMARY OF CHINESE PASSENGER ACT.~~

~~EMIGRATION OFFICE, HONGKONG, 26th December, 1860.~~

　　　　Whereas much ignorance prevails in this port as to the laws and regulations affect- ing Chinese passenger ships, leading to perpetual reference, by ship masters and mer- chants, to the emigration officer, for information on matters of ordinary detail and standing rule: and whereas the laws and regulations alluded to are contained in various imperial acts, local ordinances, and proclamations, and decisions of the enigration commissioners, on matters arising out of the working of the system since it came into force;-(some of which documents are not easily procurable by the parties interested) it is therefore considered expedient by the emigration officer to publish in a condensed form the leading rules in force in this port relating to all private Chinese passenger ships and passengers, and as far as the provisions of the Imperial Act are concerned, to ships chartered by a British govern- ment emigration agent.

~~Any vessel clearing with more than 20 Asiatic passengers, on any voyage of more than 7 days' duration, is a "Chinese passenger ship" under the Act.~~

I.-The ship laid on for passengers, the master will notify the emigration officer, by letter, of the fact, specifying the estimated number of passengers she can carry by sur- veyor's certificate, her destination, and the name of the licensed passage broker employed. Note. After which, the emigration officer will take an early opportunity to inspect

~~the ship.~~

~~II-When the full quanity of passengers' provisions is on board, the master shall notify the emigration officer of the fact, who will as soon as possible thereafter, go off~~

~~and inspect them.~~

~~Note. The provisions must be all placed in the between decks or on the upper deck, and not be stowed away in the hold, until after inspection.~~

~~CHINESE PASSENGERS' ACT.~~

~~241~~

III. When the ship is ready to receive the passengers on board, the passage broker will bring a written notice to that effect from the master, when a time will be fixed for the attendance of the passengers at this office to have their contract passage tickets explained and signed, in the presence of the broker or his deputy.

Note. This notice must be given at least 24 hours before the passengers appear at this office, and on the same day the master, with two approved sureties, will attend and execute the bond under section 4 of the Chinese Passenger Act 1855, and deposit the following documents :-

~~I.--Government Surveyor's certificate of measurement and seaworthiness.~~

~~II.-Master's certificate relative to Chinese doctor (provided he fails in securing an European surgeon for a reasonable remuneration.)~~

~~III.-Certificate under the chop seals of two Chinese apothecaries' shops, vouching for competency of doctor.~~

~~IV.-List of provisions and medicines, according to the scale laid down in the Act, signed by the master.~~

~~V.-Certificate of a resident physician that he has examind the medicines, that they are good, and in accordance with the requirements of the Act.~~

VI-Passenger list in duplicate, with a summay attached, specifying the numbers respectively of passengers, under the Act, cabin passengers, crew, including master and all persons on ship's articles; shewing total number of souls on board, signed by master.

Note.-Chinese cooks, stewards, interpreter, doctor, &c., are invariably passengers, berthed and fed with the others, although borne by law on the ship's articles for purposes of discipline. In future, their names, with their rating on board, will appear at the end of the passenger lists, and they will be included in the gross number that the ship can carry, but numerically they will be entered, as here- tofore, under the head of "erew on ship's articles." About 4 cooks and stewards to every 100 passengers has been the rule.

VII.-Either at this time or after the passengers are collected on board they must be inspected individually by a resident surgeon, who must also inspect the crew and give his certificate that none appear, by reason of any bodily or mental disease, unfit to proceed or likely to endanger the health or safety of other persons about to proceed, in such vessel. VIII-The master will give notice when all the passengers are ou board and when he wishes to clear for sea.

Note.-The broker must personally assure himself that every passenger is on board and report to that effect, after which the emigration officer will proceed on board, muster and count the passengers, and make a final inspection of the ship. After this is done, and not before, the ship is at liberty to shift her berth, if it is desired; the master mentioning the fact to the harbour master; who will then deliver to him his emigration papers and port clearance.

　　　　　~~In the fitting up and equipment of Chinese passenger ships, the following general rules will obtain,-~~

　　　　　~~I.-Ships with full compliment of passengers, shall carry boats according to the following scale, of size and description approved by the emigration officer :----~~

~~Less than 200 Tons Registered,~~

~~200 to 400~~

~~400~~

~~600~~

~~Boats.~~

~~600 1,000~~

~~1,000 1,500~~

~~1,500 and upwards,,~~

~~Note. In every case one boat must be a properly fitted life boat, and one a~~

~~long boat,~~

II.-Ships must carry at least 2 life buoys, slung, prepared for suddeu emergencies. III. In the absence of a forcepump and hose, reaching fore and aft, a ship must be provided with not less that 3 dozen buckets, in case of fire.

~~212~~

~~CHINESE PASSENGERS' ACT.~~

IV. Every hatchway leading irto passengers' quarters must be covered by a well secured house about six feet high, having as much ventilation as is compatible with strength, and being water tight. The hatches are not to be closed during the voyage unless stress of weather demands it.

Note.-When women are carried, they must have a separate hatchway entrance, apart from the males; and the male and female quarters must be divided by a strong bulkhead with no door or aperture in it. The female quarters must be aft, as also the water closets for their use.

V.-The berths, cooking cabooses, water closets, &c., must be all properly secured; and the master must provide himself with two or three spare rice boilers, as they are very brittle, and liable to accident.

　　　　~~VI.-In the very important particular of ventilation, the Government Notification No. 51, of the 22nd April, 1856, is republished here, being not generally known.~~

~~No.~~

~~GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.~~

　　　　It is hereby notified for the information of masters of ships carrying Chinese passengers and unprovided with the improved appliances usually found in vessels of modern con- struction, and generally for the information of all interested, that in addition to a windsail for every hatchway, it is required that a constant supply of fresh air be ensured to the between decks in bad weather, by fitting, at each end of the space set apart for pas- sengers, two funnels of wood or metal, four in all, with moveable heads, in mauner following, that is to say:-the body of the air funnel to reach from underneath the lower- most deck overhead to a height of 3 or 4 feet above the uppermost deck, and to pass through holes cut for the purpose in either side of the deck, and made water-tight by a canvas coat or other suitable means.

~~The attention of the emigration officer has been called to the above regulation.~~

~~By Order,~~

~~W. T. MERCER,~~

~~Colon al Secretary.~~

~~Colonial Secretary's Office, Victoria, Hongkong, 22nd April, 1856.~~

~~NOTE. This regulation will be strictly enforced, in every vessel crossing the tropics.~~

~~And no vessel in which any part of the passenger deck is in total durkness, requiring artificial light, consuming oxygen, will be passed by the emigration officer as fit to carry passengers.~~

Other questions affecting Chinese passenger ships, such as length of voyages, regulat- ing supply of provisions; cabin passengers; description and stowage of cargo; stowage of water, &c., &c., &c., and many items of detail differing in vessels of different tonnage and build, and in those carrying a greater or less number of passengers, can be settled definitely on application to the emigration officer at this office.

~~much of the registered tonnage, the numbers are limited by the space check alone, and the tonnage check is not applicable.~~

In the calculating the numbers which can be taken under the tonnage check in sailing vessels, all persons on board including the master, crew, and cabin passengers are to be counted, reckoning, however, two children between the ages of 1 and 12 as one person; but in calculating the number of statute Adults for the space check, the master, crew, and bona fide cabin passengers are not to be counted.

~~RULES.~~

~~UNDER WHICH HOUSES FOR THE RECEPTION OF CHINESE EMIGRANTS TO FOREIGN COUNTRIES MAY BE OPENED~~

~~AT THE CITY OF CANTON.~~

1.--The applicant for permission to open an emigration house, shall furnish the Consul of the nation to which he belongs, for the information of H. E. the Governor- General, with witten particulars as to his name, nation, and the extent and character of his intended operations.

　　　　II. The applicant will also furnish copies of all the rules, of whatever description, under which he proposes to conduct the emigration, or to regulate the business of the emigration house; as well as all conditions or terins under which he proposes to engage the emigrants. All such rules must receive the approval of the Governor-General and the Consul before they can be carried into effect, and any new regulation or alteration in the old rules, that the person conducting the emigration may at any time think it necessary to adopt, must in the same way be first submitted to, and approved by, the Governor- General and the Consul, before being enforced or acted on. No notice can be issued, or in any manner made pubile by emigration agents in the city or environs of Canton, without the previous sanction of the Governor-General and the Consul. The person in charge of the emigration house, is to employ such number of servants or watchmen as may from time to time be found necessary to maintain order during day and night throughout his premises; and every person employed in the emigration house, whether foreign or Chinese, is to be registered in the manner appointed by the Governor-General.

III.-Copies of all the said rules and regulations when so approved of by the Go- vernor-General and the Consul as well as of all the conditions or terms under which emigrants are to be engaged, are to be posted in such manner that they can be easily seen and read, at all the entrances to the emigration house, as well as in the quarters occupied by the emigrants.

　　　　IV. The proprietors of emigrant depôts shall provide suitable office accommo- dation within their houses for the inspecting officers, appointed by the Governor-General, in the performance of their duties. The emigration house will be visited daily by the inspecting officers, and their assistants. The emigration agent will at each visit produce before the officers such applicants for emigration as may have presented themselves, and will note in his own register, the name, age, sex, and residence of each applicant, with such other particulars as may be deemed necessary. The inspecting officers will see that each emigrant is provided with a copy of the contract under which it is proposed to engage him, which must be read over and explained to him in their presence, and they will see that all information which may be required is fully afforded to each applicant. They will also inspect the quarters of the emigrants, and see that careful attention is paid to their health, comfort, and cleanliness.

~~CHINESE PASSENGERS' ACT.~~

~~245~~

　　　　　In the event of the houses or depôts for emigrants in both sexes, the accommodation for females or families is to be separate from that provided for single male emigrants, and to be so arranged as to ensure decency, and such privacy as they may reasonably claim. The door of the emigration house will be opened at sun-rise and closed again at sun-set, and free egress and ingress, without any let or hindrance whatever will be allowed to all the emigrants residing in the emigration house within certain hours on each day to be approved by the inspecting officers.

　　　　　V.-In the event of any emigration agent having to complain of improper conduct, or of any offence on the part of the inmates of his house, he is at liberty to place and keep the offender in confinement until visited by the inspecting officers, who will direct him as to the course to be pursued, but punishment must only be carried out in the depôt when the Governor-General sees fit to sanction the same through the inspectors.

VI.-The inspection of registered applicants for emigration shall take place every afternoon, and the signing of contracts twice during the week, or as often as the inspec- tors deem necessary. No emigrant shall be called upon to sign his contract until four days shall have elapsed since the date of his registration by the inspecting officers.

　　　　　VII. The contracts will be signed in each establishment in the presence of the inspecting officers. The day should be notified by the emigration agent to the consul of the nation to which he belongs. Each emigrant as he is brought up will be asked by the inspecting officers if he accepts the term of his contract, and whether he is willing to sign. No contract can be signed at any time by the emigrant except with his full consent, and after stating his willingness to sign; and before signing, the contract will be read to the emigrant for the last time in presence of the inspecting officers. The advances stipulated for in the contract shall be paid to the emigrant at the time he signs his contract, and he will not then be allowed to quit the depôt, except with the special consent of the agent who engages him, and who will be at liberty to cause him to embark on the same day.

VIII-A list in the annexed form to be called a "Shipping List" shall be kept in each emigration house. The emigration agent will fill in the same as the emigrants have signed their contracts, and the signature of the inspecting officers to the emigrant's con- tract, and to the "Shipping List" at the foot of all the entries made on each shipping day, shall be the warrant of the emigration agent for the shipment of the said emigrants. As soon as the emigration agent reports to the inspectors that the ship has completed the embarkation of emigrants, the inspectors will close the "Shipping List" of the said vessel, by certifying at the foot of it that all the emigrants therein named have been engaged according to the regulations, and the emigration agent will at the same time pay into the Hai-Kwan Bank as the cost of the inspection, the sum of two dollars for each male adult named in the "Shipping List," and receive a receipt for this money, and will then im- mediately place the "Shipping List" in the hands of the Superintendent of Customs, who is charged by the Governor-General to see that every emigrant ship is visited by the Customs' officers as soon as the "Shipping List" is placed in their hands, and to issue the clearance of the ship when they shall have ascertained that no other emigrants than those named in the " Shipping List are on board

　　　　　IX.-The Governor-General, in communication with the Consul, reserves to himself the power of demanding the surrender of an emigrant after embarkation, and if both see fit, of releasing him from his contract whenever circumstances, in their opinion, justify such a proceeding. In all cases in which an emigrant is restored on the demand of the Governor-General the emigration agent will be repaid the advance received by the emigrant, and such additional sum not exceeding eight dollars, to cover the expenses of clothing and maintainance, during the period of the emigrant's residence in the emigration house, or on board ship.

　　　　X.-All persons employed by an emigration agent to collect emigrants, must be registered at the offices of the Governor-General and the Consul, and receive a special pass from the former authorizing them to be so employed; nor is any bounty, pay, or head money, or remuneration of any kind to be paid by an emigration agent to any one bringing emigrants to his depôt, except such person be duly registered and authorized as aforesaid.

~~246~~

~~CHINESE PASSENGERS' ACT.~~

~~The emigration agent will be held strictly responsible for any irregularity, or infringement of law, or of regulations, on the part of his subordinates.~~

XI.-The agents of emigration houses in Canton will obtain from the Custom House Authorities a certificate as to the general fitness of any vessels which have been chartered for the conveyance of emigrants from the port. The certificate will state the number of einigrants for whom accommodation is provided, the extent and quality of such accommo- dation, an opinion as to the seaworthiness of the vessel, and the number of boats carried. Until the certificate has been obtained, no agent will receive permission to embark emigrants on board any ship.

XII.-It is in the power of the Governor-General and Consul to establish from time to time such further rules as may be judged necessary for the proper regulation of the emigration, and the well being of the emigrants.

XIII.-The infraction of any of the above, or other rules that may be established in the manner aforesaid shall be punishable either by fine levied on the person conducting the emigration, or by closing the emigration house.

~~CHAP. CCXIII.-An Act to Regulate the Carriage [March 3, 1855.]~~

~~of Passengers in Steamships and other Vessels.~~

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress Assembled, That no master of any vessel owned in whole or in part by a citizen of the United States, or by a citizen of any foreign country, shall take on board such vessel, at any foreign port or place other than foreign contiguous territory of the United States, a greater number of passengers than in proportion of one to every two tons of such vessel, not including children under the age of one year in the computation, and computing two children over one and under eight years of age as one passenger.

That the spaces appro- priated for the use of such passengers, and which shall not be occupied by stores or other goods not the personal baggage of such passengers, shall be in the following proportions, viz. :-On the main and poop decks or platforms, and in the deck houses, if there be any, one passenger for each sixteen clear superficial feet of deck, if the height or distance be- tween the decks or platform shall not be less than six feet; and on the lower deck, (not being an orlop deck,) if any, one passenger for eighteen such clear superficial feet, if the height or distance between the decks or platforms shall not be less than six feet, but so as that no passengers shall be carried on any other deck or platform, nor upon any deek where the height or distance between decks is less than six feet, with intent to bring such passengers to the United States, and shall leave such port or place and bring the same, or any number thereof, within the jurisdiction of the United States; or if any such master of any vessel shall take on board his vessel, at any port or place within the jurisdiction of the United States, any greater number of passengers than in the proportion aforesaid, to the space aforesaid, or to the tonnage aforesaid, with intent to carry the same to any foreign port or place other than foreign contiguous territory as aforesaid, every such master shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and, upon conviction thereof, before any circuit or district court of the United States, shall, for each passenger taken on board beyond the limit aforesaid, or the space aforesaid, be fined in the sum of fifty dollars, and may also be imprisoned, at the discretion of the judge before whom the penalty shall be recovered, not exceeding six months; but should it be necessary, for the safety or convenience of the vessel, that any portion of her cargo, or any other article or articles, should be placed on, or stored in, any of the decks, cabin or other places appropriated to the use of passengers, the same may be placed in lockers or enclosures prepared for the purpose on an exterior surface impervious to the waves, capable of being cleansed in like manner as the decks or platforms of the vessel. In no case, however, shall the places thus provided be deemed to be a part of the space allowable for the use of passengers, but the same shall be deducted therefrom, and in all cases where prepared or used, the upper surface of the said lockers or enclosed spaces shall be deemed and taken to be the deck or platform from which measure- ment shall be made for the purposes of this Act. It is also provided, that one hospital, in the spaces appropriated to passengers, and separate partition, and, when used may be in- cluded in the space allowable for passengers, but the same shall not occupy more than one hundred superficial feet of deck or platform: Provided, That on board two-deck ships, where the height between the decks is seven and one half feet or more, fourteen clear super- ficial feet of deck shall be the proportion required for each passenger.

~~248~~

~~AMERICAN PASSENGERS' ACT.~~

　　　　　SEC. 2.-And be it further enacted, That no such vessel shall have more than two tiers of berths, and the interval, between the lowest part thereof and the deck or platform beneath, shall not be less than nine inches, and the berths be well constructed, parallel with the sides of the vessel, and separated from each other by partitions, as berths ordinarily are separated, and shall be at least six feet in length, and at least two feet in width, and each berth shall be occupied by no more than one passenger; but double berths of twice the above width may be constructed, each berth to be occupied by no more, and by no other, than two women, or by one woman and two children under the age of eight years, or by husband and wife, or by a man and two of his own children under the age of eight years, or by two men, members of the same family; and if there shall be any violation of this section in any of its provisions, then the master of the vessel, and the owners thereof, shall severally forfeit and pay the sum of five dollars for each passenger on board of said vessel on such voyage, to be recovered by the United States in any port where such vessel may arrive or depart.

　　　　　SEC. 3.-And be it further enacted, That all vessels, whether of the United States or any foreign country, having sufficient capacity or space, according to law, for fifty or more passengers, (other than cabin passengers,) shall, when employed in transporting such passengers between the United States and Europe, have, on the upper deck, for the use of such passengers, a house over the passage-way leading to the apartments allotted to such, with two doors, the sills of which shall be at least one foot above the deck, so con- structed, that one door or window in such house may at all times be left open for ventila- tion; and all vessels so employed, and having the capacity to carry one hundred and fifty such passengers or more shall have two such houses; and the stairs or ladder, leading down to the aforesaid apartment, shall be furnished with a hand-rail of wood or strong rope; but booby hatches may be substituted for such houses.

SEC. 4. And be it further enacted, That every such vessel so employed, and having the legal capacity for more than one hundred such passengers, shall have at least two ventilators to purify the apartment or apartments occupied by such passengers; one of which shall be inserted in the after part of the apartment or apartments, and the other shall be placed in the forward portion of the apartment or apartments, and one of them shall have an exhausting cap to carry off the foul air, and the other a receiving cap to carry down the fresh air, which said ventilators shall have a capacity proportioned to the size of the apartment or apartments, will lawfully authorize the reception of two hundred such passengers, the capacity of such ventilators shall each be equal to a tube of twelve inches diameter in the clear, and in proportion for larger or smaller apartments; and all said ventilators shall rise at least four feet six inches above the upper deck of any such vessel, and be of the most approved form and construction; but if it shall appear, from the report, to be made and approved, as hereinafter provided, that such vessel is equally well ventilated by any other means, such other means of ventilation shall be deemed and held to be a compliance with the provisions of this section.

~~APPROVED, March 3, 1855.~~

~~EXTRACT OF AN ACT FOR THE REGISTERING, ENROLLING, AND LICENSING OF SHIPS OR VESSELS OF THE UNITED STATES.~~

~~How Foreign built vessels can be owned by Citizens of the United States,~~

Art. 73.-On questions submitted to this department, as to what documents can be issued under the laws of the United States to foreign built vessels purchased and wholly owned by citizens of the United States, whether purchased of belligerents or neutrals during a war to which the United States are not a party, or in peace, of foreign owners, it has been decided as follows:-

Vessels so purchased and owned are entitled to the protection of the authorities and Blag of the United States, as the property of American citizens, although no register, enrolment, license, or other marine document, prescribed by the United States can be lawfully issued to such vessels.

　　　　　Art. 74. To enable, however, the owners of a vessel so circumstanced to protect their rights, if molested or questioned, the collector of the customs, though forbidden by law to grant any marine document or certificate of ownership, may lawfully make record of the bill of sale in his office, authenticate its validity in form and substance, and deliver to the owner a certificate to that effect; certifying, also, that the owner is a citizen of the United States.

　　　　　Art. 75.-These facts, thus authenticated, if the transfer was in good faith, entitle the vessel to protection as the lawful property of a citizen of the United States; and the authentication of the bill of sale and of citizenship will be prima facie proof of such good faith.

Art. 76. In all cases, therefore, where the evidence of the purchase of a foreign vessel by a citizen of the United States, with proof of citizenship and of the bond fide character of the purchase, shall be furnished to the collector of the customs, he will, if the proof be satisfactory, and purchase deemed fair, record the bill of sale in his office, and deliver to the party the original, with a certificate endorsed thereon in the following form, to wit:

~~Collector of the Customs for the Port~~

~~[L.S.]~~

Art. 77. Before granting such certificate, the collector of the customs will require the tonnage of the vessel to be duly ascertained in pursuance of Law, and insert the same in the decription of the vessel in his certificate.

~~Art. 78. It will be distinctly understood, however, that vessels not registered, enrolled or licensed, under the laws of the United States, wholly owned by citizens thereof,~~

~~AMERICAN PASSENGERS' ACT.~~

~~252~~

cannot legally import goods, wares, or merchandise from foreign ports, and are subjected in the coasting trade, to disabilities and exactions from which documented vessels of the United States are exempted.

　　　　　Art. 79.-Ou arrival from a foreign port, such undocumented vessels, if laden with goods, wares, and merchandise will, with their cargoes be subject to forfeiture. If in ballast only, or with passengers without cargo, they will be subject to tonnage duty of one dollar per ton.

~~CONSULAR INSTRUCTIONS.~~

~~[No. 9.]~~

~~To Collectors and other Officers of the Customs.~~

~~TREASURY DEPARTMENT, June 6th, 1861.~~

　　　　　The particular attention of Collectors and other Officers of the Customs is called to the annexed Act of Congress, entitled "An Act to provide for the ventilation of Passenger Vessels, and for other purposes," approved 17th May, 1858, with instructions for the strict enforcement of its provisions.

It is to be observed, the number of passengers that a vessel may be entitled to carry, is not, as under former laws, by her tonnage, but by her capacity according to the dimensions of the apartments occupied by the passengers, allowing for each passenger, as provided by the act of twenty-second February, 1846, a space of fourteen clear superficial feet of deck, if such vessel is not to pass within the Tropics twenty clear superficial feet of deck for each passenger; and on the orlop deck (if any) thirty clear superficial feet for each pas- senger: PROVIDED, as required by the 8th section of the Act now under consideration, "that when the height or distance between the decks of the vessels referred to in the 1st section of the Act to regulate the carriages of passengers in merchant vessels," approved 22nd February, 1847, "shall be less than six feet, and not less then five feet, there shall be allowed to each passenger sixteen clear superficial feet on the deck, instead of fourteen as prescribed in said section; and if the height or distance between the deeks shall be less than five feet, there shall be allowed to each passenger twenty-two clear superficial feet on the deck." Each passenger's berth is to be included and embraced within the respective spaces before indicated, but as enjoined by law, said spaces must be "unoccupied by stores or other goods not being the personal luggage of such passengers." The number of tiers of berths is limited to two, with an interval between the floor and the deck or platform of at least six inches, and each berth to be "at least six feet in lenght, and at least eighteen inches in width for each passenger.' Dae regard must be had to the foregoing provisions of law in estimating the number of passengers the vessel is entitled to carry. In comput- ing the number of passengers "all children under the age of one year, at the time of embarkation," are excluded from such computation, consequently all children over one year are in contemplation of law to be deemed and treated as separate passengers.

　　　　　The language of the Act regulating the apparatus for ventilation, cooking, &c., and prescribing the allowance of water and provisions to be provided by each vessel according to her legal passenger capacity, is conceived to be so precise and explicit as to call for no elucidation on these points by the Department at this time.

　　　　　~~The requirements of the 5th section of the act regulating the duties of the captian, the cleansing of the vessel, &c., must be rigidly observed and enforced.~~

　　　　In pursuance of the 17th section, the Collector will appoint and direct one of the Inspectors of the Customs at his port, to examine and report upon the subjects therein indicated. In the selection of this officer, care must be taken to devolve the duty upon one fully competent for its faithful discharge.

~~It will be seen that the regulations and restrictions imposed by this Act do not apply to cabin passengers in the case of vessels transporting such passengers between the United States and Europe.~~

~~O GOVERNADOR de Macao determina o seguinte :-~~

Tendo sido determinado, por Portaria deste Governo, No. 100 de 15 de Outubro de 1860, que nenhum navio poderia transportar maior numero de emigrados Chinas do que o correspondente à sua lotaçao, na razaö de duas toneladas por cada um.

　　　　　Havendo sido posteriormente declarado, por Portaria No. 35 de 5 de Setembro de 1861, que aquella determinação se deveria entender somente com relação aos navios que levassem emigrados para Ilha de Cuba, ficando de novo em vigor, quanto aos que os con- dusissem para outros pontos, o que fôra determinado na Portaria No. 39 de 5 de Junho de 1856, isto é que o numero dos passageiros, com os das pessoas da tripulação, se regulasse pela lotação do navio, na razão de uma e meia tonelada por pessoa:

~~Não parecendo conveniente tal distincção, fundada na differença da viagens; pois que estas são sempre longas para os paizes a que a emigração Chinesa geralmente se destina:~~

હૈ

　　　　　Sendo menos racional a fixação do numero de passageiros que um navio pode levar, pela sua lotação ou capacidade total; pois que è da capacidade do alojamento para elles, e das suas condições hygienicas, que esse numero deve essencialmente de perder:

Convindo suscitar a exacta observancia do artigo 25 da citada Portaria de 5 de Junho de 1856, no qual se exige que em todo o navio que transportar mais de vinte passageiros haja facultativo e botica; pondo-se côbro ao abuso de substituir o facultativo competente- mente habilitado, por curandeiros Chinas:

~~Por todos estes motivos, hei por conveniente determinar o seguinte :-~~

　　　　　Artigo 10.-0 maximo numero de emigrados Chinas que um navio poderá levar será regulado pela capacidade do alojamento destinado a esses emigrados, e pelas disposiçoes que ahi houver para a entrada de luz, e a renovaçao do ar. No caso mais favoravel, isto é recebendo o alojamento o ar e a luz por bastantes aberturas praticadas no costado do navio, e tendo este além d'isso bombas de ventilaçao, o ditto numero se determinará pelo condição de que a cada individuo corresponda uma parte do alojamento egual a dous metros cubicos. Nao havendo as referidas aberturas no alojamento, mas tendo o navia bombas de ventilaçaõ, contar-se-ha com dous e meio metros cubicos para cada individuo. Faltando tambem a bomba de ventilaçao, o navio nao poderá levar maior numero de emi- grados do que o correspondente à capacidade do respectivo alojamento, na razao de tres metros cubicos por pessoa.

　　　　　Artigo 20.-Fica suscitada a rigorosa observancia do que dispõe o artigo 25 da Por- taria de 5 de Junho de 1856, isto é, que nenhum navio possa transportar mais de vinte emigrados, sem que tenha facultativo é botica.

　　　　　~~V.-Masters of vessels shall report to the inspector of customs any ship stores, provisions, or other merchandise they may have for sale, and obtain a permit to discharge the same previous to doing so.~~

VIII.-Merchants or other persons exporting produce either in foreign or native vessels, shall enter with the inspector of customs the quantity, description, and value of exports previous to the vessel's obtaining port clearance.

XIV.-That all cases arising from a breach of these regulations shall be laid before the Consul concerned, who will then with the Superintendent of Customs enquire whether the infraction has been intentional or through ignorance, and only in cases of wilful infringement of the regulations shall they impose the full fine; in cases where there is no proof of the infringement being intentional they shall proportion the fine to the offence.

~~XV.-That native vessels shall be under the same strict control as vessels of other~~

~~nations.~~

LAWS CONCERNING VESSELS BELONGING TO SIAM, AND VESSELS FROM FOREIGN PORTS, LARGE VESSELS AND LIGHTERS, WHICH COME INTO THE CHOW PHYA RIVER, OR INTO ANY OF THE RIVERS OF THE PROVINCES BELONGING TO SIAM.

Art. I-If a vessel come into the Chow Phya river, she shall cast anchor åt the Guard station at Paknam. Her master shall then report his name, the name of his vessel, from whence she comes, how many men she has on board, and what merchandise she has, so that the officer at the station may first examine his vessel. If she have guns and ammunition on board, the master shall deliver these to the care of the officer in charge. If the vessel going out, be a merchant vessel belonging to a Foreign port, or a yessel belonging to Siam, having a European or American Captain, then she shall first be reported to Luang Wisuth Sakaratith, the Harbor Master, and then a pass be obtained for her at the Custom office. But vessels belonging to the country, under Chinese, or Mussulman flag, according to the custom of either, shall be reported to the officers of the port in the service of the Kromata of the right hand, or the Kromats of the left hand, (according to whose business it is,) and request a pass for the vessels according to the custom. When the vessel shall have dropped down to the Guard station at Paknam, the pass shall be presented to the officer of the station. And when the said officer discovers no cause why she should be detained, she may pass on.

　　　　In case a vessel that is coming in or going out, do not stop at the Guard station, and thus violate the treaties, she shall forfeit the sum of eight hundred ticals as the treaties have stipulated. And if a vessel shall go into any port of the provinces, or come out of any such port, she shall cast anchor at the Guard station [at the mouth of such river] auil report herself to the officer of the station, and whatever he shall direct the masters to do in the premises, that must be done, which is according to the treaties.

~~Lights on vessels, and mooring ships.~~

　　　　Art. II. When any ship or vessel shall have entered into any river, she shall keep a light burning three fathoms above her upper deck, from early twilight to clear morning light. And when she shall have arrived up the river, within the precincts of the town, her master shall first report himself to the Harbour Master, who will direct him to a berth for his vessel, which direction he must follow. She shall be moored by two anchors, one for the flood, and the other for the ebb tide, and rig her jib-boom in.

　　　　~~Masters of vessels are prohibited from quitting the place of anchorage which has been assigned to them, without having first obtained the sanction of the Harbour Master.~~

~~Every infraction will be punished by a fine.~~

~~LAWS CONCERNING SIAMESE AND FOREIGN VESSELS.~~

~~The Line of Mooring~~

~~819~~

　　　　　　　Art. III.-The Harbour Master shall direct the masters of vessels not to moor their vessels very near the shore. The vessels shall be so moored as that they will not be liable to swing round and strike any floating house. They shall not be moored at the mouth of any canal; but shall be arranged in a line up and down the river. Masters of vessels are hereby forbidden to fasten their cable to the shore, so as to form obstructions to the passage of boats near the shore.

~~Collision and Sinking of Vessels.~~

　　　　　Art. IV.-If vessels come into collision with one another, and are injured, and persons lose their lives by the accident, and property be lost, or damaged to whatever amount, seport must be made of it to the Harbour Master, who will then examine the matter, and report to the proper authority, who will adjudicate the case.

If a vessel coming in or going out shall spring a leak, and sink in the channel of the river, the master of the same shall employ men to remove that obstruction. But should he not do this, the Harbour Master shall cause it to be done, and whatever be the cost of that work, it shall be paid by the master of said vessel.

~~Liabilities of Vessels not properly Moored.~~

Art. V.-If the master of any vessel do not abide by the 2nd and 3rd articles as above stated, and a large vessel dropping down or coming up the river, shall run against such a vessel and injure her, damages may be claimed from the vessel thus causing the injury.

If a small vessel shall run against a vessel not properly moored and the small vessel be sunk thereby, and property damaged, or lost to whatever amount, the master of the large vessel shall pay the worth of all property lost or damaged, and pay a fine of one hundred and sixty ticals, because he did not take care to follow the directions given in Article 2nd and 3rd.

All cases of this class that exist at the present time, or that may arise in the future, and the person required thereby to pay damages, shall have any doubts as to the true worth of the property damaged or lost, the owner of said property shall, under oath administered according to the custom of his own religion, afford satisfactory evidence that the property lost was of the value claimed.

　　　　　　~~"In all cases where a fine is imposed on masters vessels for carelessness of the kind above stated the money thus obtained shall become the property of the government.~~

~~Cables and Ropes Connecting with the Shore.~~

Art. VI.-If a master of a vessel would remove from his berth and moor close in shore for the purpose of receiving merchandise, or for any other advantage, and shall in the day-time fasten ropes to the land to bring her in to shore, it shall not be unlawful. But the ropes must not be thus engaged in the night time.

If a vessel shall remove from her berth to receive merchandise, and be fastened close to a wharf, one or two abreast of each other, but not so that the way for the passing of boats outside shall be obstructed-or shall put into shore to cast out ballast, or do any thing else, and the vessel be in close contact with the shore or wharf, and there be left no passage for boats between her and the shore, ropes may in such cases be extended from her to the shore, for the purpose of retaining her in her place.

　　　　　　The Royal Barges, seats of either the first or second king, are allowed to be moored in front of the royal palaces; and although their cables and ropes be made fast to the shore, it shall not be unlawful, because they are near the seats of the kings on the bank of the river, it not being suitable that any persons besides those engaged in royal service should come near to them.

If any one attempt to pass between the said Barges and the Royal seats on the river's bank, and run against their cables or ropes, and the boat be capsized, all damages thus resulting shall be suffered by the owner of the boat, because the act had been forbidden. There are only two such places, viz :-one in front of the first King's Palace, and one in front of the second King's Palace. Again-masters of boats in the canals, laden with goods, coming out to moor in the river with the view to sell their merchandise, if they wish

~~320~~

~~LAWS CONCERNING SIAMESE AND FOREIGN VESSELS.~~

~~to anchor near the shore, they may do so, provided they leave an open passage between their boats and the shore sufficient for small boats to pass.~~

According to Article IV., if a small boat get entangled in the ropes or chains of the vessels by which they are held in their proper places according to those laws, or run against a vessel thus orderly moored, and be capsized, and property be lost by the accident in whatever way, the owner of the boat capsized shall not claim any damages.

~~Respect to be paid to the Kings when passing.~~

　　　Art. VII.-If either of their Majesties, the Kings of Siam, desire to pass on the river, and a vessel riding at anchor shall in any wise interrupt the way, and Harbour Master or other officer in charge shall order said vessel to move out of the way, then the master of the vessel shall be bound to obey that order within the space of three hours.

　　　And concerning all vessels of commerce lying at anchor in the river, whenever the Royal Barges bearing either of their Majesties, the Kings of Siam, shall approach near them, it is requested that their colors be drawn up to bestow a Royal salute according to custom. And the people who may be on board these vessels at the time, can act their pleasure, either to retire out of sight of the King as he passes, or come out and salute, him, according to the custom of the country and the language to which they belong. But let them not walk back and forth, or get up and sit down on the bulwarks with their feet dangling down the sides of the vessel, or go up the mast, or perform work thereon at the time, because this would be regarded by the Siamese as an insult offered to the King.

If such offence be committed, or the vessel fail to be removed out of the King's way, and she be one belonging to the Kingdom of Siam, the Siamese officer in charge shall inflict the punishment due. But if the vessel be a merchant vessel belonging to a foreign port, coming under the jurisdiction of either of the Consuls, complaint of the same shall be made to the Consul.

~~Collision of Vessels,~~

　　　Art. VIII.-In case a large vessel, coming up or going down the river, runs into another vessel, or into a floating house, or any other building that is orderly moored, and damage property, the master of said vessel shall cause to be made a due estimate of the damage done, and pay it, be the same little or much. But if the vessel which did the damage, be herself injured to whatever amount, she shall not claim any damages of the vessel, or floating house, or other float by which she was thus damaged, because she herself alone ran into the other.

Again,-steam-boats in Siam, which are to be many in the future, when they come or go with or against the tide, shall not pass near the shore, but between the lines of large vessels at anchor. The reason of this law is, that steam-boats have great power and speed, so that small craft will be likely not to have time to get out of their way.

~~Concerning Floating Dwellings,-or Rafts of Timber, or Bamboo, Drifting in the River.~~

Art. IX.-If a raft be broken into parts, floating with the current, and if any vessel being moored so as to straiten the way which the II. and III. Articles of these laws provide to have remain open and free, and the raft float against the vessel, and her master cut the raft, and it be consequently broken to pieces, and timber be lost, damages shall in such cases be paid to the owner of the raft. But if a raft float against such a vessel, and the vessel be damaged thereby, to whatever extent, her master or owner shall not claim damages of the owners of the raft.

　　　Again, whoever would float a raft on the river, shall be provided with a cable, and shall by its aid, make fast and slacken here and there, and thus float carefully along, taking particular cautiou to pass in the passage between the line of vessels at anchor, and the floating houses regularly moored. If its owner choose to have it pass on this or that side of them, he shall keep to that choice through all the way.

If a raft float down, and come into collision with a vessel that is moored according to articles II & III, the master of the vessel may cut the raft, and send it adrift. But he shall do no other damage to the owner of the raft, nor take possession of his timber. If

~~any of the timber be lost by this means, the owner may not claim any damages from the master of the vessel.~~

~~LAWS CONCERNING SIAMESE AND FOREIGN VESSELS.~~

~~321~~

If the master or owner of the vessel has not cut the raft asunder, but it break apart of itself, and then float against a vessel thus lawfully moored, and injure her in any wise, the owner of the raft shall pay. the damages.

Again-whoever would float a raft, shall not be allowed to make any rope fast to the cable of a vessel moored in the river. And no large vessel or raft shall be allowed to float up or down with the tide in the night time. Again if any one would float his raft with the tide, he shall not pass very near the shore, so as to be likely to run against a floating house properly moored, and thus injure it. Damages thus occasioned, shall be paid by

~~the owner of the raft.~~

Wherever there are no vessels anchored in the river, rafts are allowed to float down in the middle of the stream, and if it be desired to make the raft fast to the shore, this also may be done. If any raft or boat run against the ropes thus employed, and the boat be capsized, and property damaged, no damages shall be claimed from the owner of the raft thus moored; because rafts are not, as vessels, easily managed. Common sense will teach that it is not suitable to think of passing between a raft and the shore by which it is moored.

}

~~Throwing Ballast Into the River.~~

　　　　　　　Art. X.-It is forbidden to throw stones, gravel, earth, or any ballast in or near the channel over the bar where the water is under seven fathoms deep [at low water mark] extending from outside of the bar to any other place within the river Chow Phya. If it be desired to cast out ballast, the Harbor Master or the officer in charge shall first point out some place where it will be lawful to throw it: and in that place it may be cast. If the master of the vessel do not observe this law, but violate it by casting ballast at the bar or into the river, he shall be fined the sum of two hundred ticals.

　　　　　　Again-when any one would be employed as a pilot, let him first be examined by the Harbour Master. And if he bear a good examination, he will give him a certificate to this effect. It is forbidden that any one undertake to pilot vessels without such a certificate. fIf any one not thus approved, shall conduct a vessel erroneously, and get aground, he shall pay the damages resulting therefrom.] And if any qualified pilot shall pilot a vessel erroneously, and cause damage to the vessel by misconduct or mismanagement, he shall be tried, and if found guilty, fined [according to the demerit of the case.]

~~LAWS CONCERNING SMALL BOATS.~~

Art. I.-Boats going with the tide shall pass in the midst of the river. Boats going against the tide shall go near the border of the river. In case a boat going with the tide shall pass near the border of the river; or in case a boat going against the tide pass in the midst of the river, thus taking a course contrary to this law, and then come into collision with another, and be capsized, or broken, or property damaged or lost, the boat which went contrary to the law shall pay the full amount of the consequent damages. If the boat damaged be the one which violated the law, she shall claim no damages from the other boat which was going according to law. If the business be such as to make it proper to go with the tide near the shore, let great care be taken by the boat thus passing, that she do not run against a boat that is going against the tide.

~~Boats passing one another.~~

　　　　　　　Art. II. In cases when boats going up or down with the tide following each other, and the one behind, being the fleeter, overtake and run against the boat going before, and damage or upset her, or run against a boat that is properly moored, and damage or upset her, the owner of the boat which does such mischief shall pay all damages.

~~Collision of boats.~~

Art. III.-In case the owner of a boat, wishing to move away from her moorings, or wishing to come out of the mouth of a canal, or wishing to come in and moor, or in going meets another boat and endeavors to avoid collision, but is not in time, and consequently strikes against said boat, but not intentionally, and said boat be upset or

~~LAWS CONCERNING SIAMESE AND FOREIGN VESSELS.~~

damaged, the owner of the boat that was not upset shall assist the boat that was capsized, to pick up the goods that were set adrift. If he do not assist, he shall pay damages amounting to half the worth of the damaged property that was in the boat, because he had no compassion.

~~Light and heavily laden boats.~~

Art. IV.-A light boat (lightly loaded] shall turn out for a heavily laden boat. If a boat lightly laden run against a boat heavily laden, and cause her to be capsized, the owner of said boat shall pay all damages. If death be a consequence of the collision, he shall pay the price of the person, [a price attached by the law to the person killed,] according to the old law.

If a boat heavily laden, run against one lightly laden, causing her to capsize, no damages shall be paid. If a lightly laden boat come into collision with another lightly laden, the owner of the boat not capsized shall remain, and assist to right up

~~the other, and collect her goods that are adrift. If he do not remain and assist the other, he shall pay half the amount of all the consequent damages.~~

If a boat heavily laden be likely to come into collision with another boat lightly laden, and there be due time for evading each other, and no regard be paid to it, but the man of the large boat wilfully run against the small boat, and upset her, the man who did this deed shall pay to the other party the full amount of the property damaged or lost, be the same little or much.

If a heavily laden boat be likely to come into collision with another bost heavily laden, and one of the parties, when ten fathoms or more distant, request the other party to halt, and he do not regard it, but consequently run against the other boat, and she be capsized, and property be lost or damaged to whatever amount, the transgressor shall pay all damages. But if there was not time to give warning at ten fathoms distance, and a collission take place, it is proper that such a case be accounted an unavoidable accident, and no damages · claimed.

~~Heavy and lightly Laden Boats mooring together.~~

Art. V.-If a boat heavily laden, and a boat lightly laden moor close together, and the master of the light boat wishes to move to another place, he shall first duly notify the master of the heavy boat, so that he also take care that the light boat do not run against the heavily laden boat. If he do not give due notice, and his boat run against the one heavily laden, and capsize her, he shall pay all the damages resulting from the affair. But if he did not move his boat away, and the two boats jam against each other in consequence of wind and waves, and the light boat, being the larger of the two, cause the heavily laden boat to upset, the owner of the light boat shall pay half the worth of all the property damaged belonging to the heavily laden boat, because the light boat was larger than the other, and came and moored close by her side. If the heavily laden bost be the larger, and they jam one against the other, and one of them be consequently upset because of wind and waves, without any design on the part of the other party, it shall be accounted a case not suitable for litigation.

~~Boats turning out one for the other.~~

In case a boat in crossing the river goes athwart of the course of another which is going down with the tide :- -if the boat crossing the river be the smaller of the two, and the one going with the tide be the larger, the boat crossing the river shall turn out for the one going with the tide. But if the one going with the tide be the smaller, and the boat crossing the river be the larger, the boat going with the tide shall turn out for the other. If the smaller boat do not turn out for the larger one, and consequently get damaged or capsized, no claim for damages shall be laid upon the boat. But if the smaller boat be the one heavier laden of the two, the larger boat' shall turn ont for the smaller boat. If the larger boat do not turn out for the smaller one, and the smaller be capsized in the collision, the master of the large boat shall pay all damages.

　　　If a large boat be moored close in shore, clear of the way by which boats pass, and small boat-heavily laden shall run against the large boat and capsise, no claim for damages shall be made upon said large boat.

~~LAWS CONCERNING SIAMESE AND FOREIGN VESSELS.~~

~~Boats passing one another in Narrow Canal,~~

~~328~~

　　　　　　　Art. VI.-In case of boats passing in a narrow canal, so that it be impossible to observe the rules of the first article with or against the tide, because of the narrowness of the canal, the small boat shall turn out for the larger boat, and the lightly laden boat shall turn out for the one heavily laden.

~~Mooring Boats in Canals.~~

　　　　　　　If boats lightly, or heavily laden would moor in a canal, they shall moor in a line on either side of the canal, so that the way for boats shall not be obstructed. They shall not be moored one abreast of another, nor athwart of the canal, nor in the midst of it. If any person persist in mooring his boat athwart the canal, or mid-way in the canal, or abreast of another, and a boat coming with the flood or ebb tide, shall run against said boat, and capsize her, and property be damaged to whatever amount, no claims for damages shall be made upon the master of the boat that run against her.

　　　　　　If it be in the night time, and a boat strike against one thus unlawfully moored, and the boat that runs against the other be upset, and property be damaged or lost, the unlaw- fully moored boat shall pay the full amount of all damages.

　　　　　　　Again-in the inner canal which surrounds the city proper, and the outer canal called Phadoong kroong krasem, and the canal called Sanon Trong, the Bang Looang, and Bangkok Noi, canals being canals in which many boats pass day and night, no craft shall he allowed to moor for the purpose of fishing with scoop nets, thus obstructing the thorough- fare through them. Whoever would fish with such nets can do so in other canals where the travel is less.

~~Guard limits out of respect to the Kings.~~

　　　　　　　Art. VII.-An old law of Siam ordains that-In case either of the Kings shall pass on the river, it is forbidden all persons to paddle or row their boats in front of, or near the procession, or near the side of it, or in any way to get into the procession.

And when either of the Kings shall come down to float P'ra-pra-t'ep (illuminated floats) on the river in the evening according to Royal custom, on the 11th and 12th Siamese months annually, three days in each month, or when the Kings shall on other days, come down to their seats near the river, or to other places on the river, and there be guard limits defined, and guards established, it is forbidden persone, who have no proper business within those limits, to enter therein.

~~If any~~

such person shall dare to break into the limits, the guard shall sieze him for punishment. If he be a foreigner, under whatever Consul, let him first be entreated to desist from such conduct. But if he persist, he shall be seized and delivered over to the Consul to whom he belongs. If he resist, and a fight ensue, and he be wounded, or killed, no damages shall be laid upon the guard by whom he was wounded, because he was duly warned not to go within those limits.

~~If the foreigner thus transgressing wound the guard, or kill him, the Consul to. whom he belongs shall adjudicate the case according to law.~~

And when the Kings are to appear publicly in any place, or when on other days their Majesties are to come down to their seats near the river, or to any other place, an officer whose business it is, shall give a written notice to the Consuls, a day or two beforehand, excepting the six days annually, when the Kings have their fire-works on the river. These are well known to the Consuls already without such notification.

Again if the Kings shall go to their country palaces in the Royal gardens, Annan- t'ha-oot'ha-yan and Sapra-t'hooma-wan, where guard limits are formed about those palaces, it is not necessary to notify the Consul of the time of such visitation, because those places are appropriated particularly to the Kings, and there are no thorough-fares there.

~~LAWS CONCERNING FLOATING HOUSES AND BUOYS. Mooring posts for floating Houses.~~

　　　　　　~~Art. I.-It is forbidden that any owner of a floating house plant his mooring posts so far beyond the front line of his float as to interfere with the passing of boats.~~

•

~~LAWS CONCERNING SIAMESE AND FOREIGN VESSELS.~~

　　Whenever posts are planted in front of a floating house for its protection, let them not #tand outside of the front line of the house more than three Siamese cubits. Whoever, disregarding this law, shall plant his floating posts outside of this limitation, and a boat strike against the posts, and be upset, or property lost to whatever amount, it is ordained that the owner of that floating house shall pay all such damages to the full extent.

~~Fishing Boats and Buoys athwart of the River.~~

Art. II.-Concerning boats that cast anchor several in a line athwart the river, attached to one another for the purpose of net fishing or fishing buoys arranged in a line extending to the middle of the river; their owners shall in the night time have a blazing fire on the shore opposite such fishing boats or buoys, and blow horns for a signal to show that that is a fishing establishment. And if a vessel sailing up or dropping down, shall run afoul of fishing boats or buoys, and set them adrift, or damage them in any way, their owners shall not claim any damages, because they form great obstructions to passing on the river, much more so than large vessels, which as above are required to be moored in the midst of the river in a line up and down the stream, and much more so than floating houses that are required to be arranged in a regular line near the shore. And it cannot be -required that these fishing boats and buoys should be moored in any other way than athwart of the stream because it has always been the custom to allow their owners thus to seek a livelihood. And although a raft or boat shall run against them, and be broken or upset, or lives lost, no damages shall be claimed of the owner of those fishing boats or buoys. Let the master of the vessel or raft that drops down, inform himself of the localities of such fishing places, and provide carefully when yet not near, for passing - them safely. Such fishing boats and buoys are fixed establishments, not often changed

~~like the position of sailing vessels.~~

　　　　~~But it is forbidden that the fishing buoys be connected together by means of bamboo poles; it is only allowed that they be connected by means of ropes as is the usual custom.~~

Again-The space from the shore to the fishing buoys, being the way for boats to pass, shall not be obstructed by ropes or poles, or any other thing stretched across it. If the owner of fishing buoys shall stretch ropes or poles across that way so as to obstruct it for boats, and a boat coming up or going down shall run against such obstructions, and she be upset and property lost, or damaged to whatever amount, the person who stretched the rope or pole across that way, shall pay the damages. And if any life be lost by the accident, he shall forfeit the price of that person according to the old law.

~~Property Adrift on the River.~~

Art. III.-The old law forbade any person to take things that are accidentally dropped, or property that is adrift by casualty on the river. In process of time the people forgot this law, and thought it lawful to take such property, and appropriate it to them- selves, and have fallen into the practice of seizing such property; and the true owners coming to claim it, has given rise to contention and litigation. Sometimes the property seized has been concealed, and doubts consequently would arise about the property missed, whether or not theives had stolen it. And thus there were many cases of litigation continually arising from this practice.

~~What to be done with Property Adrift on the River.~~

Property lost in the river is mainly teak logs, and boards belonging to rafts floating down the river, which are broken and scattered about in the stream, the owners of which, going in pursuit of it are often not in time to secure the property adrift. And boats that get adrift are numerous. Now, because of these frequent accidents, it is forbidden that any person belonging to this country, or to a foreign country shall seize teak logs, or boards, or any property of vessels, or boats adrift on the river, and appropriate the same to themselves, severing them thus from the owners, on the plea that such property was found without any owner; thus following the fashion of those who have no knowledge of law. If any one shall find property floating on the river without any owner, or property which has been secured from theives, he shall deliver such property to the magistrate of that district, or shall report to him, or to the officer of the village, or to any man of rank living near to his own house. If the property belong to ships in the river, report shall

~~SIAM-LAWS TOUCHING AFFAIRS BY LAND~~

~~325~~

　　　be made of the same to the Harbour Master within twelve hours from the time the property was found. Then the magistrate, or the man of rank shall make accurate record of said property, and then wait for further information. As to the owner, let him hasten to find his lost property, inquiring for it of all the village officers for a month, let this not be prolonged beyond a month. And whoever shall have taken the property, or whatever magistrate, or village officer, or man of rank, shall have received the property, or whoever has been inforined of the property lost, shall inform the owner of the property which he seeks; and then examine carefully the statements of the owner, and the record of the property made when received. Having thus ascertained that the property truly belongs to him who seeks it, let it be delivered up to him. But if there be any doubt, let the matter be postponed until other claimants shall be examined.

　　　　　If any one, having taken property adrift as defined above, conceal it, and do not report it to a magistrate or village officer, or some other man of rank, within the space of twelve hours, he shall, when arrested, be treated as a thief. If any one assist in taking property adrift with the view to deliver it to the owner, and inform a magistrate, or village officer, or man of honor; and when the owner comes, and finds his property, and would take possession of it, and he who assisted in saving it requests that he may have a reward for his services, this matter shall be arranged, between the owner, the assistant, and the nobleman.

~~LAWS TOUCHING AFFAIRS BY LAND. Assault and Battery.~~

~~Art. I.-There is an old royal law of Siam touching crimes of assault and battery, comprising many articles, of which a compend is hereby re-enacted as follows:-~~

　　　　　If any persos getting into a quarrel, use abusive language, lead on their comrades with clubs, brickbats or arms, beating, reviling, cutting and stabbing one another, going even into the homestead of a man, who was dwelling quietly at home, his house, his shed, his stall, his boat, or his floating house, and cause him to be wounded, the assailant who inflicted the wound, shall be fined double for his crime; and his associates whose hands were not in the blow, shall each be fined half the amount of the fine imposed on the leader of the assault.

~~If said householder shall beat and stab the assailant even unto death, no punishment shall be inflicted npon him.~~

Again-In cases where persons revile, beat and stab each other in the street, and the vanquished party flee within the limits of a third party's home, and his antagonist pursue him thither, it shall not be accounted a case of assault on that householder. But if the vanquished party flee into the dwelling of a third party, and the assult be continued there, it shall be accounted a case of assault.

Again-if any person shall with innocent intent, go to visit another, on whateve" business, or shall go to purchase something at the place of another, and then and thert fall into a quarrel, it shall not be regarded as a case of assault because the affray had its origin then.

~~Seizing Refugee Servants or Debtors.~~

Again-in case a master or creditor shall go to seize a servant or a debtor, and find him wherever he may, and while pursuing him, the servant or debtor flee into the home of another party, or into his own home, and the master or creditor pursue him thither, and seize him, this shall not be accounted an assault. And if the place (to which the servant or debtor has fled] be a palace of a Prince, or the home of an officer of government, or the residence of a foreigner, the pursuer shall first duly inform the householder of his business, and then the latter shall deliver up the refugee, to his pursuer.

And now this revised compend of law [touching assault and battery] is published to the intent that all persons, both natives and foreigners shall understand, that if any one shall assault and invade the home, the house, the shed, the stall, the boat, or the floating house of another, and the householder or lord of the place, shall pound, beat, or wound the

~~326~~

~~SIAM-LAWS TOUCHING AFFAIRS BY LAND.~~

assailants severely, even unto death, and complaint be made of it to a magistrate, and he after due examination, shall find that the case is truly one of assault and battery, no punishment shall be inflicted upon him who wounded or killed the assailing party.

~~Concerning the Shooting of large Guns.~~

Art. II. It has been a custom in Siam, and an old law there is supporting it, that no person shall discharge a large gun, whose report can be heard beyond one hundred sen, [two and a half miles], as on occasions of festivals, or at other times, according to the party's own pleasure, without giving the reasons why the guns are fired. And when any one shall discharge large guns within the limits of Bangkok, and does not inform the proper officer of the government of his purpose, and obtain permission; or if any one in any of the provinces of Siam, [would discharge such guns], and do not inform the Governor of the provinces, and obtain his permission, and hence transgress this law, he shall be liable to punishment. The reason of this is that the report of large guns, whenever heard without the cause being made public, will produce alarin among the people, leading them to think that a conflagration has taken place or some other notable event. Because it has been appointed in the city of Bangkok that the report of a large gun shall be the signal of the morning forty-eight minutes before daylight, when four guns are fired daily, for the purpose of waking up all who must arise early, and for the purpose of giving a uniform time for the public. And a large gun is also fired at the Palace of the second King at 8 o'clock every evening, and one forty-eight minutes before daylight, at the quarters of the soldiers belonging to the Palace of the second King, for their guide. If a large gun is fired at other times, it is for the purpose of giving au aların of fire. If the fire be far from the Royal Palace, four guns are fired. If it be near, eight guns are fired. And when the people hear the report of these guns, they are given to know, that the fire is far or near, according to the signal, that they may come together and assist in extinguishing it.

~~Firing on Holidays.~~

Again-whenever there is to be an offering of firing large guns, on days held as auspicious by the Kings, or on occasions of the exchange of salutations by firing, or the firing of guns on some festival days, and whenever there is to be a trial of the strength of large guns at sundry times, on all these occasions, there is a custom to publish beforehand, giving all the people and their magistrates to understand, that on such and such a day, there will be firing for such and such purpose. And this is done to prevent the people from becoming alarmed.

　　　　　When the war vessels which brought Sir John Bowring came hither, to negociate a new treaty, and a salute was to be fired according to English custom, public notice was given beforehand of the salute, and then the salutation took place. After this, people coming from without, not knowing [the customs of the country], and seeing that large guns are allowed to be fired from men-of-war, and that such guns are allowed to be fired in honor of festival days of their own country, they have fallen into the practice of firing large guns without previously informing the government of such intention. Or it may be one party has informed the government, and has obtained permission to fire; another party hearing the report of their guns, joins in the chorus. Consequently the citizens of Bangkok, seeing that foreigners frequently fire their guns in sport, are emboldened to think that such things are probably not forbidden, and hence they fire their large guns without any previous appointment; consequently the former custom of notifying the government has been neglected.

~~When and how Guns are allowed to be fired.~~

Because of this, it is requested that the old law be renewed, forbidding the free firing of cannon, from the Guard Station at Paknam inward. But if any one belonging to this country, or any foreigner, has any cause why he should fire cannon-as on occasions of cutting hair, or on occasions of saluting after the custom of foreigners, or on occasions of religious festivals, as do the Roman Catholics, or at other times, once annually, it is not forbidden. But the head of the temple, or of the house, or of the ceremony, shall first give a written notice of such a desire, to Krom-mahathai, or to Krom-P'ra-Kralahome, or to Krom-t'a, or to Krom-muang, three days beforehand. Whereupon the Lord Mayor of

~~SIAM-LAWS TOUCHING AFFAIRS BY LAND.~~

~~327~~

Bangkok will publish this, so that the people may understand, that on such and such a day, such and such a party will fire cannon for the purpose specified. Thus doing, the Royal mervants, and all the people will not have occasion to be in doubt of the matter.

　　　　　Again-if any one would fire small arms in the vicinity of the palaces of Princes, or at the dwelling of the officers of government, great or small, for the purpose of training children, grand-children, and other relatives or servants to shoot at a target, it is allowed. But a written notice must in every instance first be given to one of the officers above-named, of such an act. This notice may be given on the same day that the exercise purpose is to take place. An officer of the military department will then be sent to examine the target, to see that it is out of the way of the people passing; so that when the exercise takes place, no person shall be shot.

~~of the~~

~~Shooting Game with small Arms,~~

　　　　　Again-if any one would shoot birds, or other animals, he may do it in the woods, and in the fields, where there is no temple or village, or home (for man), and where there. is no thorough-fare for the people. As regards shooting on temple grounds, or in villages, or the homes of men, or by the thorough-fares; sometimes the persons engaged are trusty persons; sometimes they are drunken, and will sometimes unavares shoot and wound or kill persons.

And when the person who did the deed is taken and brought before court for trial according to law, he pleads that he had no intention of doing it; and consequently long disputes arise, so that it is very difficult to settle such questions. Such fire arins are instruments of death, and will kill at a long distance, and beyond the reach of the eye of him who uses them, as when bushes or the siding of a house intercepts the vision where the ball can enter and kill.

~~When and where it is not allowed to shoot Game.~~

For this cause a law has been made forbidding to shoot small fire arms by the temples, or villages, or homes of the people. Even in the fields and woods it is forbidden to shoot at elephants, horses, cattle, buffaloes, and other animals, which their owners are feeding. If a man disregard this law, and willfully shoot at random, he shall be fined a sum not less than one hundred and sixty, and not more than four hundred Ticals according as he shoots little or much.

　　　　　~~And moreover, if he kill an elephant, a horse, or ox, or buffalo, or other animals which their owners are nourishing, damages shall be estimated according to the worth of the animals killed.~~

~~Shooting men by Accident.~~

If a Siamese subject shoot a person, wounding or killing him, he shall be adjudged according to the old law of the land. If a foreigner shoot a person, and wound or kill him, the Consul to whom the man belongs shall adjudge the case according to the law of his own country.

~~Sailors not allowed to go ashore with Arms.~~

Art. III.-Masters of vessels and merchants who come to live in Siam, shall forbid their sailors or other hired servants, whether Siamese, Chinese, or other foreigners, white or colored, to take with them instruments of death, as short or long guns, or knives, when they go about on the rivers, or canals, or on land. If these servants have business leading them to make purchases, they shall not take weapons of death with them but And when they go, let a serang or they shall go with hands free from all these. comprador of the employer go with them to watch over them. In case a master of a vessel, or merchant do not enjoin this upon his sailors, or his other servants, Siamese, Chinese, or other foreigners, white or colored, and leave them to go about the rivers and canals, with instruments of death about their persons, in the day time or uight time, and they fall into contentions, and an officer of Government or a house-holder shall assist in seizing said offenders for the purpose of delivering them over to their Consuls for adjudication, and they do not allow themselves to be seized without resistance, and a fight ensue between them, and wounds be made upon their persons of whatever kind, no punishment shall be inflicted upon those who seized them. If they shall wound or kill (any of the party who seized them) the Consul to whose jurisdiction they belong, shall adjudge the case according to the law (of his own country.)

~~328~~

~~SIAM-LAWS TOUCHING AFFAIRS BY LAND.~~

~~Sailors robbing Orchards and Gardens.~~

Again-cases where sailors, in mooring their vessels, coming up the river or dropping down with the tide, stop in their way, and go ashore, and pick fruit from orchards to eat, and the owners thereof forbid them doing so, and they do not regard the prohibition; but draw their knives, and pursue, striking and stabbing the owners, as frequently occurs, should it be ordained that the owners shall seize the sailors, and deliver them to their Consul for punishment, it so happens that the persons who watch the orchards, are but few in number, being only one or two they would not be able to seize the transgres- sors. Hence it is ordained that the captains of vessels, and merchants shall peremptorily forbid their men, whether sailors or servants going ashore and picking the fruit in the gardens or orchards of the people, owners, or occupants. In case any person go and take fruit unlawfully from orchards, and the owners, guards, or occupants thereof shoot at them with "Bow balls," and they consequently be lacerated, broken, sick or in pain of whatever kind or degree, no punishment shall be inflicted upon such owners, guards, or occupants. But if the other party cause the owners, or occupants to be wounded, or to die, the Consul to whom the sailors belong shall adjudicate the case according to the laws of his country.

　　　　　Art. IV. It is forbidden persons to go about within the walls of the King's palace, or to go up into, or down from the Royal house at the landing of either the Senior or Junior King's palaces, or at the country palaces of the Kings, viz. :-Nat'a-udayan, and Wangsuan-Sapra-t'uma-wan, where there is an officer in charge, and a keeper of the gates. It shall not be lawful to enter, until the said officer or gate-keeper shall give his permission, and conduct him within. With such permission one may go in. In case the prohibition be disregarded, or the transgressor go up and down on those Royal landings on the river, or at those garden palaces above-named, and the officer or gate- keeper should seize him, and resistance be made, and the consequence be the death of the offender, no complaint shall be made against the said officer or gate-keeper, If the officer or watchman be killed, the Consul of the man who did the deed, shall adjudicate the case according to the laws of his own country.

　　　　　These laws have been published both in the Siamese and the English languages, this being the third edition. When causes of complaint shall arise in the future, not provided for by these laws, then will additions be made, as may be found necessary.

　　　　　And now unto all priests and nanes, and to all the servants of the Government, both military and civil, and to all the officers of Government in the provinces of the first, second, third, and fourth grades, both in the south and north divisions of the Kingdom, and to all people and merchants of the country, and to all foreigners of all languages who come hither to trade in both small and large vessels, going on the canals or on the rivers, to each and all, let these laws be known universally. Let all observe them in every particular.

~~CHINA.~~

~~Constitution and Government.~~

The form of government of the Chinese empire is strictly patriarchal. The sovereign called 'Ta-hwang-li,' or the Great Emperor, is regarded as the father of his people, and has unlimited power over all his subjects. The fundamental laws of the empire are laid down in the first of the Four Books' of Confucius, which prescribe the government of the state to be based upon the government of the family.

•

Reigning Emperor.-Ki-tsiang, High Prosperity,' formerly Prince Tsai-sung, born April 5, 1855, the eldest son of the Emperor Hienfung, 'Perfect Bliss;' succeeded to the throne at the death of his father, August 22, 1861.

~~The present sovereign is the 8th Emperor of China of the Tartar dynasty of T'a-tsing, The Sublimely Pure,' which succeeded to the native dynasty of Ming in the year 1644.~~

　　　　　　The Emperor is spiritual as well as temporal sovereign, and, as high priest of the empire, can alone, with his immediate representatives and ministers, perform the great religious ceremonies. No ecclesiastical hierarchy is maintained at the public expense, nor any priesthood attached to the Confucian or State religion.

　　　　　　The administration of the Empire is under the supreme direction of the Interior Council Chamber, comprising four members, two of Tartar and two of Chinese origin, besides two assistants from the Han-lin, or great College, who have to see that nothing is done contrary to the fundamental laws of the Empire, contained in the sacred books of Confucius. These members are denominated Ta-hyo-si, or Ministers of State. Under their orders are the Le-poo, or six boards of Government. They are: 1.-The board of civil appointments, which takes cognisance of the conduct and administration of all civil officers; 2.-The board of revenues, regulating all financial affairs: 3.-The board of rites and ceremonies, which enforces the laws and customs to be observed by the people; 4.-The military board, superintending the administration of the army; 5.-The board of public works; and 6.-The high tribunal of criminal jurisdiction.

Independent of the Government, and theoretically above the central administration, is the Tu-che-viven, or board of public censors. It consists of from 40 to 50 members, under two presidents, the one of Tartar and the other of Chinese birth. By the ancient custom of the empire, all the members of this board are privileged to present any remonstrance to the sovereign. One censor is to be present at the meetings of each of the six government boards, without taking any part in the deliberation, and others have to travel through the various provinces of the empire to inspect and superintend the administration of the chief public functionaries.

~~Revenue and Population.~~

The estimates of the public revenue of China vary greatly, and while they are stated by some to exceed 100 millions sterling, are held by others not to come up to half that amount. Official returns of the Chinese government-intended for a special public use, and as such not very reliable-which were published in 1844, give the revenue as follows:

　　accounts published in the 'Peking Gazette,' it would appear that there are almost constant deficits, which the governors and high officers of provinces must make good by loans or extraordinary taxation.

~~GEOGRAPHICAL AND STATISTICAL.~~

~~331~~

The above population, giving 283 souls per square mile throughout the empire, appears to be excessive, considering that some of the outlying portions of the immense territory are by no means densely inhabited. Nevertheless, later returns than those of 1812, likewise said to be official, give still higher figures. It is stated that in a census taken in 1842, the population of China was ascertained to number 414,686,994, or 320 per English square mile.

Since the accession of the present dynasty, a census, or rough enumeration of the population, takes place every ten years, but the results are not always, and never completely, made public. From what has become known of these computations of the people, it would appear that China nearly trebled its population in the hundred years 1742 to 1842, and that it doubled in the seventy years 1772 to 1842.

　　　　　The standing military force of China consists nominally of four divisions--the Manchoos, in 678 companies of 100 men each, the Mongols, in 211 companies, and 106,000 Chinese, all cavalry, and 500,000 native infantry, besides 125,000 irregular troops or militia, in all, 829,900 men. Besides these, many irregular troops are stationed in the provinces of Mongolia, Turkestan, Tibet, where the government is military, and in all considerable cities there is a garrison of Tartar troops. But recent reports state the Chinese army to be composed of only 600,000 men! scattered over the surface of the empire. A standing army, in the European sense of the word, is not in existence. The soldiers do not live in barracks, but in their own houses, pursuing as chief business some civil occupation, frequently that of day-labourers, and meeting only on certain occasions, pursuant to orders from the military chieftains.

~~Trade and Commerce.~~

The first attempt on the part of Great Britain to open a trade with China was made in 1637, when four merchant vessels arrived at Macao; but through the intrigues of the Portuguese there established, the enterprise failed. Afterwards the East India Company carried on a small traffic at the different maritime ports, and chiefly at Canton. In 1792, Lord Macartney's embassy attempted to put the trade on a more liberal basis, but with little success. In 1816, Lord Amhert's mission for a similar purpose also failed, though thể English trade continued for the next twenty years. In 1834 the exclusive trade of the East India Company with China terminated, and the country was thrown open to general traders. The total value of the principal articles imported from China into the United Kingdom in each of the years 1861, 1862, and 1863, is given in the subjoined table :-

　　　　　By the terms of the commercial treaty signed on August 29, 1842, between the plenipo- tentiaries of the Queen of Great Britain and the Emperor of China, five ports of the empire were opened to European trade. The five ports comprised those of Canton, Amoy, Foochowfoo, Ningpo, and Shanghai. To these five ports were subsequently added six others-namely, Swatow, Tientsin, Chefoo, Hankow, Kiukiang, and Chinkiang.

The duties received in 1864, at all the open ports, amounted to Taels 7,845,364.9.7.2. During the year, 1865, they amounted to Taels 8,297,275.3.7.8., showing an increase in the revenue of Taels 451,910.4.0.6., as per following table :-

~~Constitution and Government.~~

　　　　　The system of government of the Japanese empire is as yet but imperfectly known. The nominal head of the State is a Spiritual Emperor called the 'Mikado,' invisible to the people, and considered of semi-divine origin. At his side stands a Temporal Emperor, the Ziogun,' or, as commonly called, the Tycoon, whose office also is hereditary in his family, and who represents the central executive. But neither the Mikado nor the Tycoon appear to be possessed of general authority, extending over the whole State. The actual government is vested in a number of feudal princes, or Daimios,' proprietors in their own right of a more or less extensive territory, over which they exercise absolute sway. The central authority is not only powerloss as far as they are concerned, but they claim the right even of removing the Tycoon and his ministers.

The administration of the empire is carried on by two Councils of State, the first, called the 'Gorogio,' composed of five members, and the second, the 'Onwakadouchisri,' of seven members. Over the first council, which more immediately represents the executive authority, presides the Gotario,' or prime-minister, who occupies the post of Regent of Japan, in the event of the minority, or during the temporary illness of the Tycoon. The "Gotario' is elected by the two Councils of State and the principal 'Daimios' of the empire, from among the latter class.

~~The following is a list of the chief feudal princess of the empire, with their revenues and territorial possessions, taken from the Japanese 'Official Almanack : ' *.~~

~~JAPAN.~~

Each of the great territorial magnates above enumerated is absolute lord within his own territory, and has power of life and death over all his subjects and dependents. Cer- tain districts only are under the immediate control of the central Government, and their revenues are assigned to the maintenance of the first dignitaries of the state, the Mikado and the Tycoon. The real authority of the realm, however, is in the hands of the Daimios, who form a federal aristocracy not dissimilar to that of Europe in the early middle ages.

~~Trade and Commerce.~~

The commercial intercourse of Japan with the United Kingdom is shown in the subjoined table, which gives the value of the total imports from Japan into the United Kingdom, and of the total exports of British and Irish produce and manufactures to Japan in each of the five years 1859-63.

　　　　　The internal trade of Japan is very extensive, and a variety of regulations are in force, the object of which is to protect and encourage home industry. The prices of goods are not enhanced by imposts of any kind; and communication between the great markets and all parts of the empire is facilitated by numerous coasting vessels and well-maintained roads. Foreign commerce, however, so far from being encouraged, is vigorously opposed by the government. Nevertheless, by the treaties made with several European Governments- with Russia in October, 1857, and with Great Britain, France, and the United States in July and August, 1858-the three Japanese ports of Nagasaki, Kanagawa, and Hakodali were thrown open to foreign commerce.

　　　　~~The value of the total imports and exports of these three ports, from and to all countries, in each of the three years 1861-63, is shown in the subjoined statement.~~

~~The total area of Japan is estimated at 156,604 square miles, with a population of 35,000,000, or 229 per square mile.~~

　　　　　The number of foreigners settled in Japan is as yet very small. At the end of the third year that the ports had been opened, the foreign community at Kanagawa consisted of fifty-five natives of Great Britain; thirty-eight Americans; twenty Dutch; eleven French ; and two Portuguese; and in the latter part of 1864 the permanent foreign residents at Kanagawa had increased to 300, not counting soldiers, of which number 140 were British subjects, and about 80 Americans and 40 Dutch. At Nagasaki, the number of foreigners at the same period was 39, with a greater proportion of Dutch. The port of Hakodadi, in the north of Japan, was deserted, after a lengthened trial, by all the foreign merchants settled there, it having been found impossible to establish any satisfactory intercourse with the natives. Hakodadi is situated on an island, where there is little or no cultivation, separated from the continent of Niphon by the Saugar straits. No Japanese can enter

~~JAPAN.~~

Hakodadi, or have commercial intercourse with any foreigner, without permission from the officials, who claim a large percentage on the business transacted. There is an edict of 1637 still in force in the whole of Japan, which makes it a capital offence for natives to travel into other countries. Japanese seamen, even when accidentally cast on foreign shores, are on their return subjected to a rigorous examination, and sometimes imprison- ment, to purify them from the supposed pollution contracted abroad. The Dutch, who were the first permitted to visit the empire after the expulsion of the Portuguese, had their earliest factory on the island of Firato; but they were removed, in 1641, by the emperor's orders, to Nagasaki, where, in common with the Coreans and Chinese, they are allowed to bring their goods for sale; but the number of vessels allowed to come each year, and the quantity of each description of wares to be sold, are strictly defined: and the residents in the factory are restricted to eleven only. The ships, immediately on their arrival, are minutely searched, and the crews are kept, during their stay in port, completely sccluded from the natives, on the small island of Decima, close to the harbour. business transactions are conducted by the natives of Japan.

~~(From the Colonial Office List.)~~

Hongkong is one of a number of Islands called by the Portuguese "Ladrones," or Thieves, from the notorious habits of the old inhabitants; it is situated off the south-east- ern coast of China, at the mouth of the Canton River, about 40 miles east of Macao, be- tween 22° 9′ and 22° 1' N. lat., and 114° 5' and 114 18 E. long. This island is an irregular and broken ridge, stretching nearly east and west; its broken and abrupt peaks rising sometimes to a great height above sea level. Its length is about 11 miles, its breadth from 2 to 5 miles, its area rather more than 29 square miles. It is separated from the mainland of China by a narrow strait, known as the Ly-ee-moon Pass, which does not exceed half a mile in width. The opposite peninsula of Kow-loon has been ceded to Great Britain by a Treaty entered into by Lord Elgin in 1861 with the Government of China; it now forms part of Hongkong. The general aspect of the Colony has been described as extremely beautiful. One of the most magnificent harbours in the world, surrounded by picturesque hills, rising between 3,000 and 1,000 feet high, and offering a coup d'œil which unites the wild scenery of Scotland to the classic beauty of Italy, with a touch of the tropics to heighten the effect. The annual range of the thermometer is said to be from 47° to 93° Fahr., but it is probably greater.

The Colony was first ceded to Great Britain in January, 1841; the cession was confirmed by the Treaty of Nankin, in August, 1842; and the charter bears date 5th April, 1842. But Hongkong perhaps comes more properly under the designation of a trading station than that of a Colony; it is valuable to Great Britain mainly as a factory for our commerce with China, and as a military and naval station for the protection of that commerce; it possesses an excellent harbour, affording convenient, safe, and comino- dious anchorage for shipping: its distance from Singapore is about 1,520 miles.

~~The occupation of Hongkong at its outset was effected at considerable cost to Imperial funds, the vote from Parliament in the year 1845 being nearly £50,000 in addition to military expenditure.~~

Hongkong may be considered to have paid its local establishments since 1854. The Government is administered by a Governor, aided by an Executive Council, composed of the Colonial Secretary, the Officer Commanding the Troops, and the Attorney-General. The Legislative Council is presided over by the Governor, and is composed of the Chief Justice, the Colonial Secretary, the Attorney-General, the Treasurer, the Auditor-General, the Surveyor-General, and three unofficial members, nominated by the Crown on the recommendation of the Governor.

~~There is a large Police force in the Colony, numbering 550 men, of whom 60 are Europeans, 482 Indians, and 108 Chinese.~~

　　　　　　Hongkong is the centre of trade in many kinds of goods. Amongst the principal may be noticed opium, sugar, and flour, produced in Tungkoon. Salt, earthenware, oil, amber, cotton and cotton goods, sandalwood, ivory, betel, vegetables, live stock, granite, &c., &c.

~~As it is a free port, it is impossible to give a correct return of imports and exports. The Stamp Tax has just been introduced by the Government (Dec., 1866).~~

Hongkong Island.-About 9 miles long, N.W. by W., and S.E. by E., 2 to 5 miles broad, and with an area of about 29 square miles, lies between Lamma Island and the main, from which it is separated by a narrow channel a quarter of a mile wide, named Ly-ee-moon pass. The appearance of the island is somewhat picturesque, but on the whole it is generally barren and unprepossessing. It consists for the most part of rocky ranges, on the highest summit of which, Victoria Peak, 1,825 feet above the sea level, at the north- west part of the island, is a signal station, which communicates with the town of Victoria on the north and the ocean on the south. The island was first ceded to Great Britain by the treaty of Canton, in January, 1841, and again by the treaty of Nanking in August, 1842. The British settlement of Victoria is on its north side, nearly abreast of Kowloon point, the extreme of the peninsular of the mainland which forms the west side of Kowloon bay, and which was ceded to Great Britain by the treaty of 1860. Water abounds every- where, and is supplied to shipping by tanks; each valley of the least pretension sends its stream to the cultivated grounds near the shore, where a portion is retained for irrigation and the remainder is permitted to find its way to the sea.

　　　　　The population of Hongkong, in 1841, was only 5,000 but in 1861, it amounted to 119,321, of whom only 1,557 were European, and the remainder Chinese. In 1860, the total number of vessels entered was 1,534, amounting to $75,199 tons, of which 272 vessels, 160,410 tons, were in ballast. The native boats frequenting the island import sugar, alum, sulphur, nut-oil, provisions, &c.; taking in exchange opium, manufactured goods, and saltpetre.

The shores of Hongkong, are indented by numerous bays, of which the most con- siderable are on its south-east shore. There is good anchorage throughout the entire channel between the island and the main, except in the Ly-ee-moon pass, where the water is deep; but the best anchorage is in Hongkong roads, in front of the settlement, where the depth is from 5 to 9 fathoms over good holding ground. During the Typhoon months* the anchorage in the northern part of the roads is considered preferable, in consequence the shelter afforded by Kowloon peninsular to the north east, the point from which the wind blows hardest. The inner anchorage in Victoria bay is in 6 and 7 fathoms water, about half a mile off shore, abreast the ordinance jetty, where a vessel will be sheltered from the eastward by Kellett Island and the rocks off east or Matheson point, and be out of the strength of the tide.

Aberdeen Dock.-Aberdeen or Shekpywan harbour is a narrow inlet formed between the south-west shore of Hongkong and a small island off it named Aberdeen or Taplichau. On the Hongkong shore of the harbour is a private graving granite dock, with caisson

~~GEOGRAPHICAL AND STATISTICAL.~~

~~349~~

gate 60 feet wide, The dock is 310 feet long on blocks, and 335 feet at top, 42 feet wide at bottom, and 78 feet at top, and depth on sill is 18 to 184 feet at springs, and 15 to 16 feet at neaps. From October to January inclusive the average is 18 feet at springs, and about 17 feet for the remainder of the year.

　　　　　A new granite dock called the "Hope Dock," in honour of Admiral Sir James Hope, was opened on the 15th of June, 1867, by H. E. the Governor, Sir Richard Graves MacDonnell. The length is 425 feet, breadth 90 feet, caisson gate 70 feet wide, depth over sill 21 to 24 feet.

　　　　　　~~The patent slip laid down in 1847 at east or Matheson point, on the northern shore of Hongkong, was at that time capable of taking vessels of 600 tons, but now only those of 400 tons.~~

　　　　　　Tides.-It is high water, full and change in Hongkong road at 10h. 15m., and springs rise about 4 feet. The tides around the island are irregular, flowing and ebbing without any apparent change of direction at the surface, and sometimes there appears to be only one tide in 24 hours.

　　　　　Directions.-Hongkong road is generally approached by sailing vessels from the west- ward, on which sides it is protected by Green Island and Kellett Bank, which extends nearly 1 miles northward from the latter island, and carries a depth of 3 fathoms. It is sometimes approached from the eastward through the Ly-ee-moon Pass during the N.E. monsoon, but the winds are generally baffling under the high land.

　　　　　　When abreast Green Island, if the vessel be of heavy draught, keep the peak of Lamma Island (Mount Senhouse, 1,140 feet high) open westward of Green Island S. † E. uutil Devil's Peak (on the mainland near Ly-ee-moon Pass) is in the line with the White rock on the south point of Won-chu-chau or Stone-cutters' Island, when a S. E. by E. course will lead northward of Kellett Bank, and direct for the anchorage,

Vessels of proper draught can proceed over Kellett Bank, or through the 4 fathoms channel between Green Island and the south part of the bank, by passing about 1 cables northward of the Island, and then steering for the road.

　　　　　　The narrow channel between Green Island and Hongkong, may be taken if a fresh fair wind blows right through.* Many sailing vessels have used it, amongst which were H.M.'s ships Modeste, Wellesley, and Vernon. It has depths of 10 to 12 fathoms in the middle, shoaling to 8, 6, and 4 fathoms after passing the small islets eastward of Green Island.

Tytam Bay and Harbour.-There are several small bays on the southern shore of Hongkong, all of which are safe for small vessels; but at the south-east part of the island is a deep inlet, named Tytam bay, 24 miles deep, 14 miles wide at entrance, free from danger, and carries a depth of 10 to 16 fathoms. Tytain head, the western point of entrance, is a high bluff, with 13 and 14 fathoms near it; from thence the western shore of the bay trends about N. by E. three-quarters of a mile to a small sandy bay, with a rocky islet fronting the beach. About half a mile northward of the islet the land forms a round projecting point, and northward of this point is a large bay, with a sandy beach, in which is Tytam village.

Tylong head, or Cape D'Aguilar, off which are two green islets, forms the eastern point of entrance to Tytam bay, and from thence the eastern shore of the bay bends round to the northward for 2 miles, and terminates in a small inlet, called Tytam harbour, carrying 4 to 6 fathoms, but its head, to the northwest, is shoal and rocky. This bay, would be useful to a vessel, in the event of her being near Wag-lan at the close of the day, with the probability of a dark and tempestous night, for by running in she will at any rate be snug, even if there should be a typhoon during the night.

　　　　　　~~Water-At the head of Tytam harbour there is a rivulet of fresh water, which, however, cannot be procured without inconvenience when the tide is low.~~

~~Water may be obtained at Tytam village, on the western shore of the bay.~~

　　　　　　Tides.-There is very little tide in Tytam bay, and, like all the places hereabouts, it is difficult to fix the time of high water, owing to the variety of channels, and the wind greatly influencing the tidal streams; but the rise and fall is about 7 or 8 feet at springs, and about 3 or 4 feet at neaps. The ebb sets to the eastward between Lo-chau and Hongkong.

~~HISTORICAL NARRATIVE.~~

~~(From Dungstedt's "Historical Sketch.")~~

　　　　　　A few year later, 1560, Europeans settled at Macao; by what right is a topic of contention. At the arrival of the Portuguese, there issued from innumerable islands, rocks. and creeks, along the sea-coast of China, a daring set of adventurers, less intent on exercising lawful industry, than bent on plundering peaceful, industrious inhabitants. Merchants were peculiary molested, because a successful attempt on them insures to the chief and his crews a valuable booty, to be shared among them. That the trade might be uninterrupted, the Portuguese determined to annoy and exterminate, if possible, this race, almost as vexatious to them as to the Chinese. Having cleared the gulf of China of the free-booters who had infested it, the Portuguese sought a quarrel with a Regulo, or potentate of the island, Heang-shan. The grievances that provoked the war are not mentioned, nor is it known when the hostilities began, how long they continued, nor even the particulars of their termination. It is maintained, that after a vigorous resistance, the Regulo was subdued, the island conquered, and the victors put in possession of their share. As no covenants or treaty of peace ever appeared in public, it remains an absolute impossibility to determine the ultimate limits of the conquest the Portuguere pretend to have made on that island. A rock towards the south-east, constituting the boundary of Heang-shan, was of course comprehended in the conquest. On that, the Potuguese fixed their abode, being particularly well suited for the carrying on of domestic and foreign trade. A town, called Cidade do nome de Deos de Macao, rose by degrees on the peninsula; not by the grace and concession of any of the emperors of China, for such is denied, but by the success of the chivalrous arms of Portugal. The above is copied from a ministerial memorandum, drawn up fifty years ago. It is contradicted by the subsequent assertion. Chinese chronologists have noted down that in the 30th year of the reign of Kea-tsing (1535) one foreign vessel appeared, and in 1537 another on the coast of the gulf of China. The merchants required and obtained permission to land and to raise a few huts for temporary shelter, and the drying of goods, which had been damaged on board the ships. That this accommodation was granted between 1622, when the Portuguese were driven from San-chan, and the time taken up for negociating a reconciliation, is by no means unlikely. During the lapse of eighteen or twenty years (1537) to (1557), the Chinese and the Portuguese met again, it seems for trade, either at Tamao or Lampacao. In 1557 the parties concurred at Macao, because the Mandarins permitted strangers to fix themselves on a desert island, then known by the denomination of Amangao. Such is the statement Fernao Mendes Pinto has given us in his peregrinations or voyages. This assertion is not contradicted by any of the contemporary authors, who wrote of the first exploits of their countrymen in China. The gentlemen to whom the terms could not be unknown were Jesuits, for a few of them came hither in 1562. With them, Mathew Ricci, coming (1582) from India spent some time, and must have been intimate; being a man of learning and of an enquiring spirit-a Jesuit-be naturally enough asked on what footing foreigners stood, in respect to China. Had they been settled by right of conquest, he would undoubtedly have recorded it in the Italian Journal he kept, the cause of the war and the articles of pacification. Trigaulo who gathered from it many interesting notices, contained in "Christiana expedition apud Sinas," adverts merely to the impression the fleet under the command of Fernao Peres d'Andrade left on the mind of the Mandarins, whose duty it was to protect the coast from foreign invasion. John de Barros, who never saw Asia, wrote three Decades of Asin, a work continued by Diogo de Couto; both of these historians speak of the progress the Portuguese made in India and

~~358~~

~~MACAO,~~

China. Alvaro Semedo, who governed in 1621 a Roman Catholic Church at Nan-chang-foo, in his "Relatione de la China," and Manoel de Faria e Souza, in his " Asia Portuguesa,' allege that the Portuguese obtained permission to inhabit Macao, because they had cleared the island of pirates. Diogo de Couto came in 1556 to India; he served eight years in the army, visited Lisbon and came back to Goa. Phillipe I., proclaimed 1581 King of Portugal, commanded him to continue De Barros' Asia, making him Royal Chronicler of India. The silence of Diogo, an accurate engineer, proves evidently the fallacy of the above allegation. According to De Guignes, in his " Voyage to Pekin," the pirates were vanquished 1563, an epoch at which the Portuguese had been six years in possession of Macao. The mighty sea-rover, denominated by him and others Chang-si-lào, kept the provincial capital, Canton, besieged, when Kea-tsing was on the throne-according to other writers during the reign of Kang-he. May not Chang-si-lao be a corrupt and foreign pronunciation of Chiu-chi-lung, the father of Chin-chin-king or Hoxinga by changing Chin to Chung, chỉ to si, lung to lao? For in the historical abridgment by Duhalde of these sovereigns, the man with whom either one or the other must have been contemporary is not mentioned. However, one of these two emperors rewarded, it is pretended, the Portuguese, by whose valour and victory the siege of Canton was raised, the pirates destroyed, and their chief slain, granting to them in perpetuity the island on which Macao is actually standing. But as no authentic act of donation ever was produced, the cession, resting merely upon traditional presumption, shall we not be justified in agreeing with Frigauld, that the Chinese, having by degrees overcome the panic at first sight excited by the tremendous Portuguese ships, petitioned the emperor to grant to foreign merchants a residence on a peninsula, or rather a rock, constituting a part of a greater island. "To this proposal the sovereign acceded, stipulating that the strangers should pay tribute or ground-rent, and duties on their merchandise. Of this opinion are both the Chinese and Tartars. Neither a few chops-official documents--suspended in the Senate house, nor those two hundred which Jesuits translated at Goa, by command of Marquis de Alorso, who governed Portuguese India in 1744, prove anything to the contrary; we therefore willingly side with La Clede, who, in his Historia de Portugal," avers that "

the Portuguese demanded leave to move to a desert island, called Macao, it wis granted, and sometime after liberty to built a few houses;" and we likewise agree with the opinion of Dom† Alexandre da Silva Pedroso Guimarums, bishop of M cao, who, as acting governor, wrote (1777) to the Senate, "by paying or mud-rent, the Portuguese acquired the temporary use and profit of Macao, ad libitum, of the emperor,'

Unwilling to deprive its natural subjects of the advantages of trade, and still more amwilling to expose them to the violence of rapacious and unruly guests, the government resolved (it appears from the concussion) to place the strangers in such a situation that they may feel their dependence on the empire, without forcing it a third time to the exter- mination of man and the destruction of property. In my opinion, it is safer to ascribe the possession of Macao to imperial bounty rather than to conquest; for the conquerors would be compelled to give up the place, were the Chinese government but to command th: tradesmen, mechanics, and servants, to leave off their business and retire, and thore- un issue an order not to furnish the inhabitants with provisions. The first settlers wore in a less precarious state, if it be true that many of them held, in the conquered part of Keang-shan, landed property, for its produce rendered them (the Portuguese) independent of China, so far as the supply of the necessaries of life went. By whose hand the earth was cultivated is not mentioned in the memorandum we have noted; but it blaines the owners for supineness, in not strenuously opposing the Chinese when they began to encroach upon the domain of Portugal. The intruders appropriated to them- selves, not only the whole of this fruitful island, but they likewise drew across the isth- mus that separates it from Macao, a will-it was constructed in 1573 for the protection of the country, and to prevent their children from being kidnapped. In the middle of the

barrier is a door of communication, called porto do cerco, guarded by a few Chinese soldiers and an officer, that no stranger may pass this boundary. In the beginning the door was, according to Dominio Navarette,* opened but twice a month, then, every 5th day for selling provisions to the secluded; at present it opens at daylight.

~~Topographical Description.~~

Macao is situated 22 deg. 11 min. 30 sec, north latitude, and 11 deg. 32 min. 30 sec. east of Greenwich, ou a rocky peninsula, renowned long before the Portuguese settled on it for its safe harbour; then by foreign writers denominated Ama-ngao, port of Ama, in reference to an idol temple near the Bar Fort, the goddess of which is called Ama. In 1583 the Portuguese gave it the name "Porto de nome de Deos," and "Porto de Amacao," the etymology of Macao; later it was also called "Cidade do none de Deos do porto de Macao," at present it is " Cidade do Santo nome de Deos de Macao." The Mandarins, I am told, designated the use of the port by the character Gaou-mun, and that of the city by Gaon-king; Aou-mun is a provincial pronunciation of Gaou-mun. This hilly settlement is dependent on the Keang-shan-keen, city of the third class, in the province of Kwang- tung, but separated from the large island Heang-shan by a wall drawn across the neek of land from shore to shore. Two principal ranges of hills, one running from south to north, the other from east to west, may be considered as forming an angle, the base of which leans upon the river or anchoring place. Its level ground, with the exception of a few habitations of European architecture, is filled by the Bazaar, and a great many Chinese shops for tradesmen and mechanics: the traveller's attention is roused by a variety of public and private buildings, raised on the declivities, skirts, and heights of hillocks. On the lofty mount eastward, called Charil, is a fort enclosing the hermitage of Na. Sra. de Guia; westward is Nillau, on the top of which stands the hermitage of Na. Sra. de Penha; entering a wide semi-circular bay, which faces the east; on the right hand we have the fort S. Francisco; on the left, that of Na. Sra. de Bom Parto; and before us, on landing, a broad, airy, spacious quay--" Praya Grande," and many pretty houses, among which is the residence of the Governor, and that of the Minister. To the east of the town is a field **

　　　　　　Campo." which stretches itself out to the very boundary wall, that closes the prison of Macao. The territory is scarcely eight miles in circuit. Its greatest length from north- east to southwest, being under three miles, and its breadth less than a mile. The Portuguese estimate the r'eninsula at a little more than a league in length; its mid-breadth at less than a mile. The first geometrical delineation of Macao was undertaken and executed by Manoel de Agote, chief factor of the royal Spanish Phillipine company in China, and Mr. De Guignes the younger. You will find Agote's map inserted in the collection of drawings appertaining to the "Account of the embassy of Lord Macartney to China," and that of De Guignes in his " Voyage á Peking.' In 1898, by command of the Supreme Government, a map was made by Joaquim Bento de Foncera. The peninsula is nearly surrounded by sheets of water, subject to the influence of ebb and flood from the gulf of China. The regular monsoon-winds, the streams of salubrious water, bursting out at the foot of Charil and Nillau, and the benefit of a well stocked Bazaar, render Macao wholesome and comfortable, though now and then-but seldom-it is shaken by the convulsive motions of earthquakes; it is oftener visited by dreadful typhoons, a species of hurricanes. That the reader may get an accurate knowledge of the climate, we beg leave to refer him to the appendix, the description is borrowed from Mr. J. R. Morrison's Auglo-Chinese Calender for 1834.

~~MANILA.~~

　　　　　The Capital of Cuçonia, the largest of the Philippine Islands, and the principal settlement of the Spaniards in the cast, in lat. 14° 36' 8' N., lon. 120° 531 E. Popula tion, about 100,000, of whom from 4,000 to 5,000 may be Europeans. Manila is built on the shore of a spacious bay of the same name, at the mouth of a river navigable for small vessels a considerable way into the interior. The smaller class of ships anchor in Manila roads, in five fathoms, the north bastion bearing N. 37 E., the fishery stakes at the river's mouth N. 18° E., distant about a mile; but large ships anchor at Cavite, about three leagues to the southward, where there is a good harbour, well sheltered from the W. and S.W. winds. The arsenal is at Cavite; which is defended by Fort St. Philippe, the strongest fortress on the islands. The city is surrounded by a wall and towers, and some of the bastions are well furnished with artillery.

Though situated within the tropics, the climate of the Philippines is sufficiently temperate; the only considerable disadvantage under which they labour in this respect being that the principal part of the group come within the range of the typhoons. The soil is of very different qualities; but for the most part singularly fertile. They are rich in mineral, vegetable, and animal productions. It is stated in a statistical account of the Philippines, published at Manila in 1818 and 1819, the entire population of the island amounted to 2,249,852, of which 1,376,222 belonged to Luçonia. But this return is believed to have been under-rated; and the population having increased very considerably in the interval, it is now estimated at about 4,000,000. There are some, but not many, Chinese settlers, and but few Europeaus. The natives are said to be the most active, "These people," says

　　　bold, and energetic of any belonging to the Eastern Archipelago. a most intelligent navigator, "appear in no respect inferior to those of Europe. They cultivate the earth like men of understanding; are carpenters, joiners, smiths, goldsmiths, weavers, masons, &c. I have walked through their villages, and found them kind, hospi- table, and communicative; and though the Spaniards speak of and treat them with contempt, I preceived that the vices they attributed to the Indians ought rather to be imputed to the government they have themselves established."-(Voyage de M. De La Perouse, c. 15.)

~~The trade of the Philippines has increased very rapidly of late years.~~

The imports principally consist of cotton, stuffs, and yarn, iron and hardware, woollens and worsteds, machinery, wines and spirits, furniture, arms and ammunition, apparel, slops, &c. By far the largest portion of the imports is supplied by the United Kingdom; but owing to the high discriminating duties in favour of goods imported on Spanish bottoms, a large proportion of the British goods are brought in Spanish ships from Singapore. In 1856 the imports of British produce were valued at £1,575,000, and the exports of Philippine produce on British account at £1,370,000. The Americans export produce worth about £1,000,000; and as their imports are a mere trifle, the balance is extinguished by drafts on London. Manila has also an extensive and increasing trade with China, Singapore, Java, Australia, India, &c.

　　　　　The quantity of rice and paddy shipped to China from the islands cannot be ascer- tained with any degree of exactness; what goes from Manila is very small, because, before arriving there, it has, by its transport expenses, added to the price at which it is obtained in the districts where it is produced, which, of course, prevents its being shipped from the capital. Probably, however, about a million coyans, each of which, one with another, weighs about a China picul, or 1334 lbs., may be annually exported. The export is regalated by the supposed scarcity or abundance of food in the country.--(M'Micking's Manila, p. 270.)

~~GEOGRAPHICAL AND STATISTICAL.~~

~~361~~

But the exports have increased very greatly since 1850. Thus, the exports of sugar to England and Australia only amounted in 1856 to 626,075 piculs, the whole exports of the year having exceeded 50,000 tons. The export of hemp during the same year amounted to 21,986 tons, of which by far the largest portion went to the United States.

Port Charge.- Cn foreign vessels, 2rs. per ton, and one-half on such as neither load nor unload cargo, besides fees amounting from $5 to $15, according to the size of vessels. Import Duties.--Spanish commodities, by Spanish vessels, pay 3 per cent. ad valorem, and 8 by foreign.

"Swords, fowling-pieces, muskets, pistols, and warlike stores may be deposited for re-export, and cannot be introduced without the special licence of government; but cannon and dress swords are admitted.

　　　　　Export Duties.-Commodities and produce of every description to Spain, by national vessels, pay 1 per cent. and 2 by foreign. Elsewhere, 1 by Spanish vessels, and 3 by foreign.

　　　　　Entrepot Duties.-One per cent, ad valorem, and 1 per cent, at the exportation, with 1 per cent. more if the commodities should be kept there more than twelve months, two years being the longest time allowed for it.

Port and Custom-house Regulations.- Vessels newly arrived are not to communicate with the shore until having been visited by the port captain's boat; and within thirty hours after this visit, a manifest must be presented, stating packages, marks, and numbers, but the vessel may retain her cargo ten days in transit without stating whether for consumption or deposit, and without being obliged to land or incurring any charge on the same, except gunpowder, pocket pistols, and forbidden arms.

~~Terms for Sales and Purchases.--Sales and purchases made, duty paid, at three to five months' credit, occasionally at 21 per cent. discount, for prompt payment, and exports are bought for cash.~~

　　　　The principal currency of Manila consists of Spanish dollars, of 8 reals and 96 grains, but South American dollars are also current. The weights in use are the Spanish Ib,, which is nearly 2 per cent. heavier than the English; the arroba=251 English lbs. nearly; the quintal=102 lbs. ; and the picul of 5 arrobas or 14 cwt. English. The coyan is a measure for rice, &c., varying from 96 to 135 lbs.

Considering the great fertility and varied productions of the Philippines, and their peculiarly favourable situation for carrying on commerce, the limited extent of their trade, even with its late increase, may excite surprise. This, however, is entirely a consequence of the wretched policy of the Spanish government, which persevered until very recently in excluding all foreign ships from the ports of the Philippines, confining the trade between

them and Mexico and South America to a single ship! even ships and settlers from China were excluded. Provisions," says La Perouse, "of all kinds are in the greatest abundance here, and extremely cheap; but clothing, European hardware, and furniture bear an excessively high price. The want of competition, together with prohibitions and restraints of every kind laid on commerce render the productions and merchandise of India and China at least as dear ax in Europe!" Happily," however, this miserable policy, the effects of which have been admirably depicted by M. de la Perouse, has been materially modified of late years.

The events of the revolutionary war destroyed for ever the old colonial system of Spain; and the ships of all nations are now freely admitted into Manila and the other ports in the Philippines. An unprecedented stimulus has in consequence been given to all sorts of industry; and its progress will no, doubt become more rapid, according as a wider experience and acquaintance with foreigners make the natives better aware of the advantages of commerce and industry, and disabuse them of the prejudices of which they have been so long the slaves.

~~OBSERVATIONS ON THE TRADE AND NAVIGATION OF ILOILO.~~

~~By Nicolas Loney Esq., Her Majesty's Vice-Consul.~~

　　　　　Vessels bound from Manila, or from Ports to the Northwards, may, during the N.E. monsoon, safely proceed towards Iloilo by the Maricaban passage between Luzon and Mindoro, and through the chain of Islands off N.E. coast of Panay. For this route, the charts of the Spanish " Commission Idrografica," compiled by Don Claudio Monteros in 1857, would be useful. After passing Tablas and Remblon (which latter island posse ses an excellent harbour much frequented by coasting vessels as a port of refuge and for obtaining supplies,) steer for the group of small islands, called collectively the " Silanga," lying off the N.E. of Panay, a good mark for which is the high conical island called "Pau de Azucar, or Sugar-loaf, which is visible from a great distance. In approaching these islands during the N.E. monsoon vessels should pass between the islets of Jintotolo and Zapato-major, and during the S.W. monsoon more in towards the Panay shore, between Olutaty and Zapato-minor. After leaving the Zapato the course is to the south of the Gigantes, and the channel through the group of islands is generally entered between Snogon and Calagnan, from whence the route is continued between Culebre and the main Pan de Azucar and Malangaban, inside Ygbon Bulabadingan and Tagnbaulan islands. Through the passage between these islands there is safe anchorage. The Estancia affords eixcellent anchorage and shelter at all times, and at Apiton opposite Yogubaaham there is also good anchorage in both monsoons. In the S. W. monsoon there is safe anchorage between Pan de Azucar and Sobrero islands, and in the bay of Malagolmoes. In the N.E. monsoon, in addition to the Estancia and Apiton, there is good anchorage under Pan de Azucar, in the small bay or indent looking S.E. At Bacauan, or La Conception, is the residence of the Commandant of the district, and from hence assistance and supplies may be had, if needed, and at the place marked Apiton (Aguada) on the charts good water is easily obtainable.

　　　　The broader channel between the islands Panay and Negros, although apparently good, and though formerly adopted by several ships bound to Iloilo, is now found not to be safe, there being large patches of shoal water with coral, imperfectly surveyed, extending off the Batayan and Negros shore. Vessels have occasionally touched in coming through

~~passage, and it should not therefore be taken.~~

~~this~~

　　　　　After passing Tagubanhan and Apiton, and emerging into the broad channel between Panay and Negros, the best course is to steer direct for the highest land visible on the island of Guimarús, care being taken to clear. Pepinas rocks, which lie some distance off the shore and are awash.

Leaving the Calabazas islets and Patitas, the route after making the small block- house near Banate, is due south, until a group of seven remarkable rocks which lie between the N.E. end of Guimaras and Panay shore, called the Siete Pecados, are sighted. On opening the channel between Guimaras and Panay and getting the Siete Pecados to bear W. N., steer direct for the passage between these rocks and the Panay shore. This course will clear the Iguana Bank, lying to the S.E. of the Pecados, with 1 to 2 fathoms of water on it, and Point Dumanges to the N.E., the shoal water off which extends to a considerable distance.

~~364~~

~~ILOILO.~~

　　　　　The lead is a good guide through the Siete Pecados channel, giving 4, 7, 8, 11 and 15 fathoms until the Pecados are passed to the southward, when the water deepens to 18 and 19 fathoms. The channel between these rocks and Guimarás is not good. On passing the Pecados the south shore should be kept on board, to avoid the shoal water on the Panay side. When the fort, which is half-a-mile to the west of the river Iloilo, bears W.S.W., steer for it, anchoring as convenient in 10 to 12 fathoms, a little more than quarter of a mile off shore, to the eastward of the river.

Though the northern passage just described is safe and convenient in the northerly monsoon, and is always used by coasters in both seasons, strangers will probably prefer the route along the west coast of Panay, making Iloilo from the south. This route should always be adopted during the S.W. monsoon. Making the western coast of Panay from the Mindoro Strait, this coast, comprising the province of Antique, should be closed, as the westerly monsoon is not very regular, and does not often blow strongly between the Cuyos Island and Panay, or the north of Basiland. It may be approached with safety anywhere to the southward of the islands of Barbatan and Maralison, which latter has a reef to the east and west. Barbatan, which is very steep, affords, with Lipata (under this latter point), the only available anchorage on the Antique coast during the S.W. monsoon, but in the N.E. monsoon the harbour of San José de Buena Vista is quite safe, and affords good supplies of provisions and water, being not unfrequently visited by whalers for that purpose.

　　　　　The south coast of Panay is free from dangers till near the town of Otoug. The coast of Guimaras to the north of Point Balingasag, or the north of Port St. Anna, is likewise safe. This port is capable of admitting vessels of large tonnage, and afforûs shelter under almost any circumstances. The Bights along the coast have deep water, and vessels can work close in shore, or from point to point, with perfect safety; but generally there is no good anchorage, as the coast is steep and the holding-ground not good.

In passing the S.W. point of L'anay during the night, the island of Juraojurao and Nogas should not be closed, as both have reefs round them to the southward. When clear of these islands on rounding the S.W. point of Panay, vessels may safely steer N.E. by E. 33 miles without any danger, but after running that distance they should heave-to during the night, or if the night is very clear run towards the Panay shore, keeping the lead going, and whe i the water shoals, anchoring till daylight, as by keeping over to the Guimaras shore (particularly in the N. E. monsoon), they will find no anchorage, and will lose ground.

It is necessary to follow the above instructions carcity, because the Otong Bank extends more to the west and south-west than is shown on the present published chart, and is yearly increasing, and also because the tide ruus very strongly on both sides of it. With the flood tide (against the N.E, monsoon,) vessels can easily work up in short tacks under the Guimarás shore.

The Otong Bank is 8 miles in length N.E. and S.W., by 24 miles NW. by W., and S.E. by E. at its broadest part. It is of fine sand, with depths varying from & to 3 fathoms. The edges in some places are steep, and the others shoal gradually. To avoid this danger, vessels should after closing Guimarús, keek that shore ou board, and be careful in beating up not to close the Panay side to less than four fathoms, and not to stand further from the Guimarás shore thau half-a-mile, until point Cabalig bears S. by W. W. 24 miles, when they should stand across and open the port of Iloilo clear of point Bonduyan, which kept open will clear the Guimarás Bank lying between points Cabalig and Bondulan. Care should be taken in standing across towards the Otong Bank, to tack as soon as the water shoals to 6 factonis, as the Bank is steep-to. After passing goint Bondulan, the fort should not be brought to the eastward of N.E. by E.

　　　　　　Guimarás Bank, with 11 feet on its shoalest part, extends in a N.E. by E., and S. W. by S. direction a little over a mile, and about three cables east and west, with deep water all round. The S.W. head bears from Point Bondulan N.N.E. } E. 11⁄2 miles. Iloilo fort kept onen of Point Bondulan will clear this danger.

~~These banks have been recently surveyed, in May 1804, by the officers of the Spamsa " Hydrographical Commission," but the charts have not yet been published. At foot is a~~

~~GEOGRAPHICAL AND STATISTICAL.~~

~~365~~

　　　　~~note of the position in which it is intended to place two lights, which will greatly facilitate the entrance from the south.~~

Anchorage.-The island of Guimarás forms in front of Iloilo a sheltered passage running nearly N. and S., about 2 miles broad, with deep water and good holding ground, except immediately to the eastward of the fort, where the sand is loose. In mid- channel the depths exceed 20 fathoms. The best anchorage, least exposed to the sweep of the tides, is to bring the Bantay (guard house), on the south point of the river to bear N.W. N., with the fort bearing S.W. W. Here a ship is out of the strongest current, with the advantage that cargo-boats can easily reach her and return.

　　　　　　　TO ENTER THE RIVER AND INNER PORT OF ILOILO.-Although the land is low at the entrance, the mouth of the river is distinctly seen, being marked by beacons on the port and starboard sides. On entering keep the port beacon close on board, after passing which and the watch-house, steer for the second point on the starboard hand giving it a berth of forty feet. The east bank, with 16 feet, should be closed to this distance until after the first sharp bend of the creek is passed, and then the port side to the wharf or anchorage. Vessels usually bring up at jetties, about half-a-mile to one mile from the entrance, and have the advantage, if of moderate size, of discharging and loading at the stores without employing boats. The creek, or rather tidal river, varies in breadth from a quarter to half-a-mile, and reaches beyond the town of Melo, meeting the sea again near Iloilo; and another branch continues as far as Otong.

　　　　　　Depth of Water.-The depth at the entrance to the river is nearly 5 fathoms at low water, but at a short distance within it decreases to 15 feet, and then deepens. The rise of tide bing 65 feet, vessels drawing 16 to 18 feet can easily enter and leave; and when, as is proposed, a dredging-machine is employed to clear away the mud which has been allowed to accumulate, vessels of almost any draught will be able to complete their cargo inside. Ships of 1,000 tous register have loaded part cargoes along side the jetties. The enstom is to load to 14 to 15 feet in the river and complete loading outside.

　　　　　　TIDES.-It is high water at floilo, full and change, at noon; springs rise 6 feet. The stream runs at springs quite 3 to 4 knots through Iloilo. The flood sets to the north- ward. The ebb tide to the north of Petitas rocks runs to the eastward, but to the south of these rocks, to the westward.

~~VARIATION ON THE COMPASS, 1o 15 E.~~

PROVISIONS AND WATER.---Fresh beef is cheap and good. Good water can always be got a little to the north and south of the village of Pilat, or Buena Vista, on Guimarás. It is best to take up the casks at high water on the beach, and with the aid of the Natives fill them so as to be ready to go off with the following tide. Take care to leave a little before high water, so as to be sure of reaching the ship, as the tide changes suddenly, and runs down with great strength.

~~REPAIRS.-The river of Iloilo affords considerable facilities for heaving vessels down. At the fine port of Santa Anna, on the island of Guimarás, is a building-yard.~~

~~In 1863 twenty-five ships loaded Sugar at Iloilo, mostly for China and Australia.~~

~~During the year 1864 the direct exports of Sugar were chiefly to Great Britain.~~

PORT DUES.--On foreign vessels arriving and leaving in ballast, 12 cents per ton, with cargo inwards or outwards, or both, 25 cents per ton. Payment at one port clears for the other open ports of the Philippines in a proportional extent.

~~MANIFEST. This document must be certified by the Spanish Consul at the port from which the vessels arrive, under penalty of a fine of $200. This also applies to vessels in~~

~~ballast.~~

~~MONEY.-The currency is confined to Spanish and South American dollars and their subdivisions, and to the $1, 32, and $4, gold pieces coined in Manila.~~

~~366~~

~~ILOILO.~~

　　　　　~~WAGES.-The wages of labourers for shipping average from 25 to 30 cents a day; Carpenters 31 to 50 cents; Caulkers 37} cents.~~

~~WEIGHTS AND MEASURES.-The picul of 110 catties, or 140lbs. English ;~~

~~the quintal of 4 arrobas, or 100lbs. Spanish, equal to 100lbs. English; the arroba of 25lbs. Spanish.~~

PRODUCE.--The country round Iloilo and in the province and islands generally is very fertile and extensively cultivated. It is well peopled, and there are towns of 18, 20, 30, and 40 thousand inhabitants in the vicinity and interior, and on the coast. Nearly all tropical productions can be grown on the island, but the chief articles of export are Sugar, which is at present the most important, Tobacco, Sapanwood, Rice, Hides, Hemp (imported coastwise), Cattle, and a large quantity of available native textures, made of the fibre of the pineapple leaf, Silk, Hemp and other fibres. These textures are mostly for native consumption in the Archipelago. The quantity of sugar has increased rapidly since the opening of the port to direct foreign trade.

~~The~~

　　　　　At the fine island of Negros the planting of cane is being much extended. bulk of the plantations is owned by natives, but a number of Europeans have formed estates there, and several steam mills for crushing cane have recently been erected. Very productive land, in good positions, is to be had; labour is not scarce; conveyance of produce by sea to the Iloilo market is safe and expeditions, and intending planters could scarcely find a more eligible district.

~~COFFEE.-Thrives well, but is not yet cultivated on a scale to allow of export.~~

　　　　　~~The population of the province of Iloilo is now 595,000; that of the island of Panay 863,000; Negros 140,000.~~

~~Direct Imports from Europe have recently taken place at floilo, and the amount of European goods consumed is becoming important.~~

~~Additional Note, regarding Light-houses to be crected at Iloilo.~~

Two lights are to be placed by the Spanish Government in the south-western entrance of the port of Iloilo. One, a third-class light, is to be situated at the point marked G. in the plan of the recently made survey, a mile S. 39° W. of point Cabalig. The other will be of the fourth-class, and placed at the fort in the port of Iloilo. The point marked G. is of rock, about 160 bears N. 85° W., consequently any vessel entering the port from the south, by keeping well in to the Light before taking up that course towards the north, will completely clear the bank.

The south point of Panay bears from the point G., S. 70 W. The light of the Iloilo fort determines by its position all the S.E. edge of the Otong bank, and by it vessels can pass safely through all the channel formed by the bank and Guimarás coast with the advantage that it (the light,) gives, also the N.W. edge of the Guitaràs bank, to the south of point Bondulan. On this account a vessel beating up should not lose sight of the south light.

~~CIRCULAR.~~

　　　　　　The undersigned solicits the Bankers and Mercantile Community to post all Letters, &c., as early as practicable, especially when sent in large unumbers, as facility is given to the Post Office in the discharge of its duties, and greater security afforded to the public by such a course; whereas great inconvenience, and frequently confusion, occurs, through the whole of the correspondence from many of the large Firms being sent to the Post-Office at the last moment, before closing the Mails for Europe, by both the English and French Packets.

~~REV. W. LOESCHEID.~~

~~COURT AND PUNTI DIALECTS,~~

~~PUBLISHER'S NOTICE.~~

IIIC WORK was commenced in November, 1884, the computation of the author then Teing that it could be conrried in one the nerd Car Lundred pages, and wo occupy two years. Many unlooked for obstinctions, che fly of a typographical nature, materially retarded the progress of the work in the first instance, and these being over- come, the author discovered that he had under stimated the extent and the importance of the vast task he had undertaken, and that it would occupy fully double the time and space which he had at the outset computed.

　　　　The publication of a work of such magnitude, and presenting so many and such varied obstacles, seldom falls to the limited resources of one single individual as occurs in this case. The first and second parts of the work are Low issued, partly at the request of the author and partly to afford the Foreign Community of China an opportunity of extending that assistance to the publisher, which under the circumstances is usually so freely accorded.

　　　　The price of the book complete will be $30, and it will be published in four parts at $7.50 each. But this objection presents itself to the sale of the parts separately, should the purchaser of one or more parts not take the others, a number of incomplete, and consequently valueless, copies will be left on the publisher's hands. To remedy this objection, in consideration of the circumstances already alluded to, it is hoped that those who see fit to patronise the undertaking by purchasing the first and second parts, will not object to signing an engagement to take the remaining parts as they appear, or should they prefer it, to pay for the entire work in advance.

CAUTION.-The great Superiority of ELLWOOD'S PATENT AIR-CHAMBER HATS and HELMETS over all others for Tropical Climates, has induced some persons to offer to the Public useless imitations, bearing some outward resemblance to them, but totally devoid of their good qualities; the Public is therefore respectfully Cautioned to observe that NONE are Genuine unless they bear ELLWOOD & SONS' or the SELLER's name in the SHIELD on the lining.

FULL DIRECTIONS FOR PREPARING ALL THE ABOVE DRINKS ARE SENT WITH EACH MACHINE, A List, containing the directions of upwards of 200 Machines now in use in the United Kingdom, forwarded on Application. Many of these Machines have been in constant use for 25 years without requiring any repairs.

S. BARNETT, by confining his Manufactory to only Two Branches, namely, SÓDA WATER MACHINES and DIVING APPARATUS, and his whole attention being given to these Branches, it must be obvious that every part has been the subject of his most careful study, so that any derangement of parts can hardly occur. All the Machines made by S. BARNETT, are constructed under his own superintendence, and proved to four times the pressure they are ever required to be worked at. S.B. being so well aware of all the requirements of persons using Machinery where Mechanical mssistance cannot be obtained, has paid full attention to this point, as the great number of testimonials in his possession will prove.

~~The number of dezens per day that it is stated each Machine will make, mean hand labour, but if steam or other power is used, the product is greatly increased.~~

These "Improved" Soda Water Machines are warranted superior to any hitherto Manufactured for solidity of construction, power and simplicity. They are also admirably calculated for exportation, as they are packed in one case, without taking them to pieces, and can be set to work, and Soda Water or Lemonade made from thêm in half-an-hour after arrival. These Machines are also used to Manufacture Ginger Beer, Orangeade, Nectar, Seidlitz, Carrara, do.
