PREFACE.

THE Publisher of the "Chronicle and Directory" is glad to be able again to place the work in the hands of his Subscribers at an early date. No pains have been spared in making the necessary alterations, and in noting the various changes which have taken place among the Foreign residents and Mercantile firms during the past year.

Many of the difficulties, which were experienced in bringing out the, last "Chronicle and Directory," have been removed, by the more complete organisation of the system on which the necessary information is collected, and everything having been done in order to obtain accurate returns up to the last moment, the publisher feels confident that this work will be found fully to sustain the reputation it has already acquired. It is not too much to say, that it contains more information concerning China than is condensed in any other one volume.

As it will doubtless be remembered, an addition to the scope of this work was made last year by the introduction of a list of five hundred Chinese Hongs doing business with Foreigners, and classified according to their various specialités. The occurrence of the disastrous fire, shortly afterwards, rendered this part of the work, prepared at no inconsiderable pains, of less value than it should have been; but, in the present volume, the list is re-introduced, very carefully revised, so that the new residences of the Chinese merchants will be all found duly indicated. Several new features have been introduced, which will add considerably to the usefulness of the Directory, perhaps the most practical being the Time and Post Office Tables. The former, compiled from the more detailed tables previously published, give in a succinct form the dates on which the P. & O. steamers leave Bongkong, when due in London, when the return mail leaves Home, and when the answer is due in Hongkong; and are supplemented by a new table shewing the movements of mails between Hongkong and the Australian colonies; that is, the dates of departure from Hongkong, of arrival at Galle, and of departure thence for Sydney. Both these additions will be of considerable value.

The "Chronicle and Directory" is published, as last year, in two forms; the one being the "Directory" properly so called, at the price of $3, and the other being the complete volume, with the records of seven years, at the price of $5. While the former will answer the requirements of ordinary business, the latter, it may be con- fidently stated, embodies such valuable statistical and other information as will make it a complete vade mecum in public, mercantile, and general offices.

　　　　　The flood tide, when regular (which is seldom,) runs round Cabreta Point towards the town of Macao; 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 (or 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 2 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 3 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 flood comes in, with the difference of running a little more to the westward along the shore, before it takes the southerly direction; the latter part of this tide is therefore the best time for boats to start for Lintin or Canton, with a contrary wind, as they then get out far enough to have all the flood to work to the northward with.

The tides at Lintin run north and south, or nearly 80. The velocity of the ebb, in the north-east monsoon, when blowing strong, is much the same as in Macao Roads; but there is always a perceptible flood of 1 or 13 miles. During the height of the south-west monsoon, the ebb runs at times at the rate of 6 and 61⁄2 miles, after heavy rains; at that season the floods are very weak.

CHINESE WEIGHTS AND MEASURES.

　　　　　MONIES.-Accounts are kept at Canton in taels, mace, candarines, and cash; the tael being divided into 10 mace, 100 candarines or 1,000 cash, There is but one kind of money made in China, called cash, which is not coined, but cast, 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 raised at the edges, with a square hole in the middle. These pieces are commonly carried like beads, on a string of wire. A tael of fine silver 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 coins, however, circulate here, particularly Spanish dollars; and for small change they are cut into very exact proportions, but afterwards weighed: for which

CHINESE WEIGHTS AND MEASURES.

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

　The tael 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 value inay 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 66d., 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: 91-66 :: 12: 11, the standard, and vice versa ; and to convert standard silver into touch, say, as 240 : : : 100: 92-5, the touch of sterling silver. Pure gold or silver without alloy is called by the Chinese sycee; and sometimes when of less purity the metal is accepted as sycee.

222

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 INGOTS.-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 tael equal to 579-8 English grains, or 37-566 grammes.

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

Hence the picul weighs 60-472 kilogrammes, or 162 lbs. O 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 iu 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 auswering to the foot, viz. :-

The foot of the mathematical tribunal

The builders' foot, called congou........... The tailors' and tradesmen's foot.. The foot used by engineers...

Metres. Eng, inches.

0.333 = 13.125 0:322812-7 0:3383 = 13:33 08211 12.65

The li contains 180 fathoms, each 10 feet of the last mentioned length; therefore the li = 1-897 English feet; 192 is measure a mean degree of the meridian nearly; but European missionaries in China have divided the degree into 200 lis, each li making 1,826 English feet; which gives the degree 69166 English miles, or 11-131 French myriametres.

THE CALENDAR FOR 1869.

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 1722, 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 come, 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.

6588

The Solar Cycle, or Cycle of the Sun, is a period of 28 years, after which 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 Meton, 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, oppositions, 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 months 19 years before. The Prime, or Golden number, is the number of years elapsed in this Cycle. Before the birth of Christ two years of this Cycle had elapsed.

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 7980 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. Its 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 bunt. Also of the Julai Budha.-Eleventh moon, eighth day.

LEI-CHUN.-Lei-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 calendar, 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 ma- gistrate, 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 gorgeous- ness 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 populace then stone the image till they break it in pieces, 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.-Twelfth Moon twenty-third 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 Tau sect.- Twelith 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 ac- companied 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 im- portant 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 results in insolvency; while, too, the custom, by compelling an annual settlement, of accounts, prevents many failures. This is perhaps the rea- son why it is called chu-seih, "the evening of dismissal."-First moon, First day.

CHE TA-YUEN-SHWAI; a deified warrior.-First moon, second day. TING KWANG.-Ting kwan-, a Budhist sage, born.-First moon, sixth day. JIN JIH.-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, day," is the greatest. Some persons have supposed there is an obscure or ancient re- ference in these days to the order followed at the creation. First moon, seventh day. YUH-HWANG.-Shangti's birthdy; 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 noon, uinth day.

CHINESE FESTIVALS, FASTS, AND OBSERVANCES.

　　　　　　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.

　　　　　　SHAI-TANG, OR FEAST OF LANTERNS.-Shai-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 banging a lantern before the shop or house.-First moon, fifteenth day.

　　　　　CHANG-CHUN. Chang-chun, a celebrated physician, born; deified by the Tauists. 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 goods 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 fire- works are let off.-Second moon, second day.

　　　　　　WANCHANG-TI-KIUN.-Wanchang-ti-kiun, god of learning, born. His image is placed in the temples of Confucius, and the offices of literary magistrates; scholars worship him.-Second moon, third day.

TUNG-WA-TI-KIUN.-Tung-wa born; a god of the Tau sect. Second moon, sixth day. HUNGSHING.-Hungshing, god of the south sea, born,-This is a southern deity, whose worship is chiefly confined to Canton, where it is celebrated with much pomp and display. Same day, the birthday of Yoh Fi, a faithful minister of the Sung dynasty.-Second moon, thirteenth day.

　　　　　　LAUKIUN.-Laukiun born. Laukiun, called also Lautsz', an ancient sage, and the founder of the Tau sect, was partly contemporary with Confucius. The latter in his youth took lessons from Lautsz on the subject of sacrificial rites. The principal deities of the Tau sect are Sau-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.

　　　　　　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 deceased 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 called Sum-fan, sweeping the tombs. Long slips of paper are laid on the grave after the ceremonies are over, as a proof that the sacrifices have been made.-Second moon, twenty-fourth day.

　　　　　HIUEN-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.-On 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 princes, 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 return- ing 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.-Hiuen-tien Shangti, the Supreme Ruler of the Sombre Heavens; the festival of the second deity in the pantheon of Rationalists. He is

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 pro- vince. 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-vè, or Holy Lords of the three Borders; worshipped in the yards of the courts of houses to propitiate the powers of nature.

Another temple to this goddess is situated opposite the Foreign Factories in the suburb of Honam.-Fourth moon, seventeenth day.

WA TO-SIEN-SZ'.-Wa To-sien-sz', a physician, spoken of in the San Kwoh Chì; worshipped by the sick.-Fourth moon, eighteenth day.

TWANG-WU.-Festival of dragon boats, called in Chinese Twang-whor Twang-yang, and also Tienchung. On this day many people race backwards and forwards in long, narrow boats, which being painted and ornamented so as to resemble dragons, are called lungchuen, 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. Tradesmen's accounts are cleared off at this period.-Fifth moon, fifth day.

SAI-I-FUH.-Shi-í-fuh, festival of airing clothes. It is a fancy that clothes aired on this day are not liable to be injured by insects.-Sixth moon, sixth day.

LU-PAN. Lú-pan, the god of Carpenters and Masons, on which day these crafts- men take holiday. Tsing-shin Lung-wang, god of Wells and Dragon-king, worship- ped by sailors and others to avert calamity and storms.-Sixth moon, thirteenth day. KWANYIN.-Assumption of Kwanyin; she ascends to heaven.-Sixth moon, nineteenth day.

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 accom- modation 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 of 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. Má Wang-shin, the God of Horses, worshipped to avert disease from horses, and by horsemen to become skilful in eques- trian feats. Sixth moon, twenty-third day.

　　　　SHAU-1.-Ör Burning-clothes festival. At this period, which lasts fifteen days, clothes made of various coloured papers are burnt, that they may so pass to the invisible world for the benefit of deceased relatives. Prayers also are recited and food offered, chiefly for those who have been drowned at sea. This festival is much ob- served by the people of Fuhkien province. The custom arises from a tradition respecting a young man who obtained admission to Tartarue, and brought his mother' from thence.-Seventh moon, first day.

TSIH-KUNG-BIEN-NU.-Tsih-kung-sien-nu, the female genii of the seven palaces descend; a festival observed by women, who worship these fairies to avert disease, and get skill in domestic work.-Seventh moon, seventh day.

TSANG-FUN TSAI-SHIN.-God of Happiness and Wealth; placed in niches at the doors of shops. This deity, the Plutus of the Chinese, is seldom carved into an image, but a piece of paper is pasted on the back niche near the door; the shrine is called tsü pán táng, i.e., Hall of Collected Values.-Seventh moon, twenty-second day.

　　　　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. On this day, the Cantonese resort to a temple on the White Cloud Hills, north of the city, in great numbers, to worship Chin-sein, a deified official of the Ming dynasty.-Seventh moon, twenty-fourth day.

TI-TSANG-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 in- terchange 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.

SHE-TUH TA-WANG.--Great Prince of the Agricultural gods.-Eighth moon, second day.

On the evening of this day, every householder and boatman raises a lantern upon the top of a ship pole from the highest part of his house or vessel, on which is inscribed king ho chung tsin, "joyfully congratulate the middle of autumn." From the foreigners, the Feast of Lanterns-Eighth moon, fifteenth day.

NAN-TAU-SING-KIUN.-Starry god of the south Pole, descends; this god belongs

to the sect of Rationalists.-Ninth moon, first day.

　　KOMPIRA.-The Feast of Kompira is on the tenth Jiu-gwats (tenth month). HATS-GA-YEBIS. The twentieth of Jiu-itchi-gwats (eleventh month) is called Jebis, and is delicated to the God of Trade, Hats-ga-yebis.

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 devo- tion. It was instituted when God rested, on the seventh day, from the work of Crea- tion, and the precept was renewed to the Hebrews at Marali, 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 commemorating important events in their history, also subserved other important purposes. They kept them steadfast to their religion, by the view of ceremonies 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 acquaintance 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 cele- brated 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 Pass- over 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, or WEEKS, was celebrated on the fiftieth day after the Passover, and was a feast of thanksgiving to the Lord, wherein they acknowledged bis 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 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 (Sep- tember), 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 others 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 illuminations which the Jews make during these days in their houses. Poorim, 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 in- stituted 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 Eccle- siastical 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 inheri tance, 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.

MAHOMEDAM.

RAMAZAN. The Mahomedan fast commences each day throughout the month of this name, when the first streak of light borders the eastern horizon, 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 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 Kozedhars." 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.

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 tradi- tions which they deem conclusive evidence on the subject, in opposition to the authority of the Bible. The offering thus made is annually commemorated by the sacritice 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, there- fore, 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. FED 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 descendants 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 Mahomed, 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, invit- ed 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 mes- senger 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 subject of the ten days' bewailing during the Moharram. The Mahomedans are divided into distinct sects, called the Shian, 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 first day of the moon (Mohar- ram). 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, sandal- wood, 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 pectical composition of great merit, and em- bracing the whole of the subject they commemorate, is chaunted with great effect; the names of ther 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 ceases. The Tabut is a slight framework 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 diapprobation. In Bombay the larger portion of the Mahomedans unite in building the Tabuts. These are taken out, and, accompaned with music, carried in procession through the Bhendy Bazaar,

midnight 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 cast 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 Tabuts, 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 suite violently upon their breasts. These are accustomed to meet at the Masjid, in Mirza Mahomed 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 car- ried 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 aud 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 "Shahinshahis" or "Rasmis," and the "Kudmis" or "Churigars," the former of whom constitute the larger portion of 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-religion- ists 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 conse- quence, 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 exists between them in their social intercourse. The difference lies only in their com- putation of time, and in some slight variations in their 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, notwithstanding their differences of creed. The Emperor Akbar adopted the "Nowroz" and fourteen other festivals of the Parsees, for the observances of those who were attached to his favorable doctrines of the "Habi 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. 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 and rejoicings 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 servants 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. Reli- gious 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 Parsees. 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, "Fararbar" meaning soul or spirit. The religious 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, in commemoration of their memory. 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 ceremonies 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 sınall round pieces of baked bread, called daruns, which are put on the tray or other copper vessel, along with the 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 wonders of divine creation. 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 introduced civilisation among mankind, and established the computation of time. If we are to believe the Persian writers, the exquisite bas-reliefs

among the ruins of Persepolis,-still visible in beauty after a lapse 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; aud as the Nowroz is a sort of "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 Mahomedans 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 resides 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

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 month 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.

acts.

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 a 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 after-noon are designated by the same numbers. Time in the forenoon is called Peda Ch'ow, (ë sounded as E in PREY): time afternoon, Pëla Bai. The word denoting any hour in the day time is Mong; that for night time is Toom. In expressing 9 A.M., they say, "Sam (third) Mong Ch'ow; "-3 P.M., Sám Mong Bäi;" 9 P.M., "Sám Tööm.'

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 Yáin.

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 month 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.

The former, instead of being called the first month, is called Dúan ái, (month ái) the latter, Dúan Yè (month Yèo). The next succeeding month is called Dúan Sám: (third month); the next, Dúan See, (fourth month); and so on through the twelve.

The Siamese have two cycles, one within the other. The greater is twelve years, the smaller ten. The name of the former is Pee, the latter Sok. Every year of eacl kind of cycle has its own specific name.

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

Every Siamese is 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 gave 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 Sákkáeát (Era of Buddh). Their civil Era, called Chōōlá 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 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. Their mode of showing the day of week, day of moon, and the month is very concise.

Specific Answer.

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

Oath.

51. The Court may, where the circumstances of the case appear to require it, order the defendant to put in au answer on oath.

　　　　　　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.

RULES OF SUPREME COURT

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 in- stituted, that the question in dispute relates either wholly or in part to matters of mere 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. Setting down of Cause for Hearing.

60. No cause can be set down for hearing without order of the Court first obtained.

61. At the expiration of the time allowed for answering, the plaintiff may apply ex parte for an order to set down the cause for hearing.

62. Where the defendant has put in an answer, the plaintiff must carefully consider the answer, and, if he finds that upon the answer alone there is sufficient ground for a final decree or order, he must proceed upon the answer without entering into evidence pre- paratory to or at the hearing.

Or, if it is needful to prove a particular point, he must not enter into evidence as to other points that are not necessary to be proved.

Where a claim is made by a third party to goods seized in execu- tion, the same, if made by a British subject, shall be decided by the Court on summous, and in a summary way, as between the claimant and the person prosecuting the decree or order.

If the claim is inade by a foreigner, the Court shall either oblige the person prosecuting the decree or order to establish his claim before selling the goods, or allow him to sell the goods and defend any claim, as appears just.

125. A sale of goods seized in execution shall not be made until after the end of five days at least next following the day of seizure, unless the goods are of a perishable nature, or on the request in writing of the person whose goods have been seized; and until sale the goods shall be deposited by the officer in some fit place, or they may remain in the custody of a fit person approved by the Court and put in possession by the officer.

126. Every warrant of execution shall be returned by the officer, who shall certify thereon how it has been executed.

127. In or on every warrant of execution the Court shall cause to be inserted or indorsed the sum of money and costs adjudged, with the sums allowed as increased costs for the execution of the warrant; and if the person against whose goods execution is issued before actual sale of the goods, pays, or causes to be paid into Court, or to the officer holding the warrant, the sum of money and costs adjudged, or such part thereof as the person entitled thereto agrees to accept in full satisfaction thereof, together with all fees, the execution shall be super- seded and the goods seized shall be discharged and set at liberty.

128. In case any officer of the Court employed to levy any execution, by neglect, connivance, or omission loses the opportunity of levying the same, then on complaint of the person aggrieved, and on the fact alleged being proved on oath to the satisfaction of the Court, the Court may order the officer to pay such damages as the person complaining appears to have sustained thereby, not exceeding in any case the sum of money for which the execution issued; and the officer shall be liable thereto; and on demand being made thereof, and on his refusal to pay the same payment thereof shall be enforced as any decree or order of the Court directing the payment of money.

Sum 159998 to Judgment Debtor.

129. Where a decree or order directing payment of money re- mains wholly or in part unsatisfied (whether a warrant of execution has issued or not,) the person prosecuting the decree or order may apply to the Court for a summons, requiring the person by whom payment is directed to be made to appear and be examined respecting his ability to make the payment directed, and the Court shall, unless it sees good reason to the contrary, issue such a summons.

130. On the appearance of the person against whom the summons is issued, he may be examined on oath by or on behalf of the person prosecuting the decree or order, and by the Court, respecting his ability to pay the money directed to be paid, and for the discovery

　　　　　　He shall be bound to produce, on oath or otherwise, all books, papers, and documents in his possession or power, relating to pro- perty applicable to such payment.

He may be examined as to the circumstances under which he contracted the debt or incurred the liability in respect of which the payment of money is by the decree or order directed to be made, and as to the means or expectation he then had of paying the debt or discharging the liability.

He shall be bound to sign his examination when reduced into writing.

　　　　　　Whether the person summoned appears or not, the person prosecuting the decree or order, and all other witnesses whom the Court thinks requisite, may be examined on oath or otherwise re- specting the matters aforesaid.

The Court may, if it thinks fit, adjourn the hearing of the sum- mons from time to time, and require from the person summoned such security for his appearance at the adjourned hearing as seems fit, and in default of his finding security, may, by warrant, commit him to prison, there to remain until the adjourned hearing, unless sooner discharged.

131. In any of the following cases,

(i.) If it appears to the Court by the examination of the person summoned, or other evidence, that he then has or since the making of the decree or order has had sufficient means to pay the money directed to be paid by him, and he refuses or neglects to pay the same according to the decree or order; or (ii.) That, with intent to defraud his creditors, or any of them, he has made or suffered any gift, delivery, or transfer of any property, or charged, removed or concealed any property; or (iii. That the debt or liability in question was contracted or incurred by him, by or by reason of fraud or false pretence, or breach of trust, committed by him; or

(iv.) That forbearance thereof was obtained by him by fraud

or false pretence; or

(v.) That the debt or liability was wilfully contracted or incurred by him without his having had at the same time a reasonable expectation of being able to pay or discharge it; or

(vi.) Was contracted or incurred by him by reason of any prosecution or proceeding wherein he was found guilty of any crime or offence, or by reason of any proceeding for libel, slander, assault, battery, adultery, seduction, breach of promise of marriage, malicious arrest, malicious or frivolous and vexatious prosecution, malicious trespass, malicious injury, or the malicious filing or prosecution of a petition for adjudication of insolvency or bankruptcy,- then and in such case the Court may, if it thinks fit, order that the person summoned be committed to prison for any time not exceeding forty days, and may issue a warrant for his commitment accordingly.

133. The expenses of the debtor's maintenance in prison must be defrayed in the first instance by the person prosecuting the decree or order, and may be recovered by him in such manner as the Court directs.

Such expenses shall be estimated by the Court, and shall be paid at such times and in such manner as the Court directs.

In default of payment the debtor may be discharged if the Court thinks fit.

134. Imprisonment under such a warrant does not operate as a satisfaction or extinguishment of the debt or liability to which the decree or order relates, or protect the person imprisoned from being anew summoned and imprisoned for any new fraud or other default rendering him liable to be imprisoned, or deprive the person pro- secuting the decree or order of any right to have execution against his goods, as if there had not been such imprisonment.

135. Any person so imprisoned, who pays the money by the decree or order directed to be paid, or the instalments thereof payable, and costs remaining due at the time of bis commitment, and all sub- sequent costs and expenses, shall be discharged out of custody.

136. On the hearing of any such summons as aforesaid, the Court, if it thinks fit, whether it makes any order for the commitment of the person summoned or not, may rescind or alter any decree or order previously made against him for the payment of money by instalments or otherwise, and make any further or other order, either for the payment of the whole thereof forthwith, or by any instalments, or in any other manner as the Court thinks reasonable and just.

Execution out of Jurisdiction.

137. Ordinarily a warrant of execution or commitment shall not be executed out of the particular jurisdiction, except under an order made for that purpose, on the request of the Court issuing the warrant, by the Court within whose jurisdiction it is to be executed, which Court may take such steps as if it had originally issued the warrant, but shall ultimately send any money produced by the execution or the person apprehended (as the case may be) to the Court from which the warrant issued, to be there dealt with according to law.

But where the urgency or other peculiar circumstances of the case appear to the Court issuing the warrant so to require, the Court (for reasons to be recorded in the minutes of proceedings) may order it to be executed out of the particular jurisdiction, and it may be so executed accordingly.

Arrest.

138. Where the decree or order is one directing some act to be done other than payment of money, and the person directed to do the act refuses or neglects to do it according to the exigency of the decree or order, the person prosecuting the decree or order shall be entitled to apply to the Court for a warrant of arrest against the disobedient person.

139. The Court shall, unless it sees good reason to the contrary, on the application of the person prosecuting the decree or order, issue, under the seal of the Court, a warrant of arrest directed to a proper officer, who shall be thereby empowered to take the body of the disobedient person, and detain himn in custody until further order.

The Court, unless it sees good reason to the contrary, shall on such application make an order accordingly.

　　　　　　The Court shall not grant the order except on evidence on oath establishing such a case, as if uncontradicted and unexplained would justify the immediate commitment of the disobedient person.

A person committed for disobedience to a decree or order is Duration of detention. liable to be detained in custody until he has obeyed the decree or order in all things that are to be immediately performed, and given such security as the Court thinks fit to obey the other parts of the decree or order (if any) at the future times thereby appointed,-or in case of his no longer having the power to obey the decree or order, then until he has been imprisoned for such time or until he has paid such fine as the Court directs.

RULES OF SUPREME COURT

Preliminary Examination.

291. 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 depositions 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 witness produced against him, and the statements of any witness in answer thereto shall form part of that witness's 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.

Siatement of Accused.

296. After the examination of all the witnesses on the part of the prosecution is completed, the Court shall, without requiring the attendance 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 any thing 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 under- stand 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 after- wards, on the trial of the accused the same may be given in evidence against him without further proof thereof.

297.. Nothing in the foregoing Rules, however, is to prevent the prosecutor from giving in evidence any admission or confession or other statement of the accused made at any time, which would, by law, be admissible as evidence against him.

Publicity.

298. The room or place in which the preliminary examination is held is not an open or public Court for that purpose; and the Court may, in its discretion, in case it appears to it that the ends of justice will be best answered by so doing, order that no person have access to, or be, or remain in, the room or place without the special permission of the Court.

A notice of each recognizance (Form 46) is at the same time to be given to each person bound thereby.

If at any time and place of adjournment of a hearing, which has once begun, the accused does not appear in person or by counsel or attorney, the Court may in its discretion proceed with the further bearing as if the accused were present.

In case of dismissal of the charge the Court may, if it thinks fit, on being requested so to do, make an order of dismissal (Form 55) and give the accused a certificate thereof (Form 56), which certificate shall on being produced, without further proof, be a bar to any subsequent charge for the same matter against the same person.

To A.B., the above-named Plaintiff,

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

the

day of

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 General Hearing List afresh, by which the Plaintiff will incur delay and expense.

If the Defendant fails to attend in person or by counsel or attorney 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 adduced 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 postpone the hearing, it should be made as soon as possible, on application 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 affidavit 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 desires 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 summons 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 secondary 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.

TREATIES WITH CHINA.

GREAT BRITAIN.

TREATY BETWEEN HER MAJESTY AND THE EMPEROR OF CHINA, SIGNED IN THE ENGLISH AND CHINESE

LANGUAGES, AT NANKING, AUGUST 29, 1842.

Ratifications. Exchanged at Hongkong, June 26, 1843.

Article 1. There shall henceforward be peace and friendship between Her Majesty the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and his Majesty the Emperor of China, and between their respective subjects, who shall enjoy full security and protection for their persons and property within the dominions of the other.

　　　　2. His Majesty the Emperor of China agrees that British subjects, with their families and establishments, shall be allowed to reside, for the purpose of carrying on their mercantile pursuits, without molestation or restraint, at the cities and towns of Canton, Amoy, Foo-chow-foo, Ningpo, and Shanghai; and Her Majesty the Queen of Great Britain, &c., will appoint superintendents, or consular officers, to reside at each of the above-named cities or towns, to be the medium of communication between the Chinese authorities and the said merchants, and to see that the just duties and other dues of the Chinese government, as hereafter provided for, are duly discharged by Her Britaunie Majesty's subjects.

　　　　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 aud regulations as Her Majesty the Queen of Great Britain, &c., shall see fit to direct.

　　　　4. The Emperor of China agrees to pay the sum of six millions of dollars, as the value of the opium, which was delivered up at Canton in the month of March, 1839, and as a ransom for the lives of Her Britannic Majesty's Superintendent and subjects who had been imprisoned and threatened with death by the Chinese high officers.

　　　　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, the 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.

6. The government of Her Britannic Majesty having been obliged to send out au 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.

7. It is agreed that the total amount of twenty-one millions of dollars, described in the three preceding articles, shall be paid as follows:

Six millions immediately.

Six millions in 1843; that is, three millions on or before the 30th of June, and

three millions on or before the 31st of December.

Five millions in 1844; that is, two millions and-a-half on or before the 30th of

June, and two millions and-a-half on or before the 31st of December,

Four millions in 1845; that is, two millions on or before the 30th of June, and

two millions on or before the 31st of December.

　　　　　　And it is further stipulated, that interest, at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum, shall be paid by the government of China on any portion of the above sums that are not punctually discharged at the periods fixed.

　　　　　8. The Emperor of China agrees to release, unconditionally, all subjects of Her Britannic Majesty (whether natives of Europe or India), who may be in continement at this moment in any part of the Chinese Empire.

　　　　　9. The Emperor of China agrees to publish and promulgate, under his imperial sign manual and scal, 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 inter- course with, or having entered the service of, Her Britannic Majesty, or of Her Ma- jesty'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 retiro from Nanking and the Grand Canal, and will no longer molest or stop the trade of China. The military port at Chiuhae 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

　　　　Done at Nankiu, and signed and sealed by the plenipotentiaries on board Her Britannic Majesty's ship Cornwallis, this 29th day of August, 1842; corresponding with Chinese date, twenty-fourth day, of seventh month, in the twenty-second year of Taoukwang.

CONVENTION AND TREATY OF PEACE BETWEEN GREAT

BRITAIN AND CHINA, 1860.

PROCLAMATION.

The Earl of Elgin and Kincardine, K.T., G.C.B., Her Britannic Majesty's Special Ambassador in China, &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 agreed 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 compacts 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 unnecessary 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 arrangements for carrying into execution the provisions of this Convention and Treaty, at the Ports thereby opened to British Trade, shall be completed.

GOD SAVE THE QUPEN.

CONVENTION OF PEACE BETWEEN HER MAJESTY AND THE EMPEROR OF CHINA,

SIGNED AT Peking, 25th October, 1860.

　　　　Her Majesty the Queen of Great Britain and Ireland, and His Imperial Majesty the Emperor of China, being alike desirous to bring to an end the misunderstanding at present existing between their respective Governments, and to secure their relations against further interruption, have for this purpose appointed Plenipotentiaries, that is to say :-

　　　　　　Her Majesty the Queen of Great Britain and Ireland, the Earl of Elgin and Kincardine; and His Imperial Majesty the Emperor of China, His Imperial Highness the Prince of Kung; who, having met and communicated to each other their fulf powers, and finding these to be in proper form, have agreed upon the following Convention, in Nine Articles:-

　　　　　　Art. I. A breach of friendly relations having been occasioned by the act of the Garrison of Taku, which obstructed Her Britanie Majesty's Representative when on his way to Peking, for the purpose of exchanging the ratifications of the Treaty of Peace, concluded at Tientsin in the month of June, one thousand eight hundred and fifty-eight, His Imperial Majesty the Emperor of China expresses his deep regret at the misunderstanding so occasioned.

Art. II.-It is further expressly declared, that the arrangement entered into at Shanghai, in the month of October, one thousand eight hundred and fifty-eight, between Her Britannic Majesty's Ambassador the Earl of Elgin and Kincardine, and His Imperial Majesty's Commissioners Kwelliang and Hwashana, regarding the residence of Her Britannic Majesty's Representative in China, is hereby cancelled, and that, in accordance with Article III. of the Treaty of one thousand eight hundred and fifty-eight, Her Britannic Majesty's Representative will henceforward reside, perma- nently or occasionally, at Peking, as Her Britannic Majesty shall be pleased to decide. Art. III.-It is agreed that the separate Article of the Treaty of one thousand eight hundred and fifty-eight is hereby annulled, and that in lieu of the amount of indemnity therein specified, His Imperial Majesty the Emperor of China shall pay the sum of eight millions of taels, in the following proportions or instalments, namely, -at Tientsin, on or before the 30th day of November, the sum of five hundred thousand taels; at Canton on or before the first day of December, one thousand eight hundred and sixty, three hundred and thirty-three thousand and thirty-three tacls, less the sum which shall have been advanced by the Canton authorities towards the completion of the British Factory site of Shameen; and the remainder at the ports open to foreign trade, in quarterly payments, which shall consists of one-fiftieth of the gross revenue from Customs there collected; the first of the said payments being due on the thirty-first day of December, one thousand eight hundred and sixty, for the quarter terminating on that day.

It is further agreed that these monies shall be paid into the hands of an officer whom Her Britannic Majesty's Representative shall specially appoint to receive thein, and that the accuracy of the amounts shall, before payment, be duly ascertained by British and Chinese officers appointed to discharge this duty.

　　　　　　In order to prevent future discussion, it is moreover declared that of the eight millions of taels herein guaranteed, two millions will be appropriated to the indemni- fication of the British Mercantile Community at Canton, for losses sustained by them; and the remaining six millions to the liquidation of war expenses.

Art.-IV.-It is agreed that on the day on which this Couvention is signed, His Imperial Majesty the Emperor of China shall open the port of Tientsin to trade, and that it shall be thereafter competent to British subjects to reside and trade there, under the same conditions as at any other port of China by Treaty open to trade,

Art. V.-As soon as the ratifications of the Treaty of one thousand eight hundred and fifty-eight shall have been exchanged, His Imperial Majesty the Emperor of China, will, by decree, command the high authorities of every province to proclaim throughout their jurisdictions, that Chinese, in chosing to take service in British Colonies or other parts beyond sea, are at perfect liberty to enter into engagements with British subjects for that purpose, and to ship themselves and their families on board any British vessels at the open ports of China; also that the high authorities aforesaid shall, in concert with Her Britannic Majesty's Representative in China, frame such regulations for the protection of Chinese emigrating as above as the circumstances of the different open ports may demand.

Art. VI.-With a view to the Maintenance of law and order in and about the harbour of Hongkong, His Imperial Majesty the Emperor of China agrees to cede to Her Majesty the Queen of Great Britain and Ireland, to Her Heirs, and successors, te.

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

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.

RULES.

RULE 1.-Unenumerated Goods.-Articles not enumerated in the list of exports, but numerated 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 san 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 21⁄2 per cent. ad valorem.

　　　　A freight, or part freight of duty-free commodities (personal baggage, gold and silver bullion, and foreign coins, excepted) will render the vessel carrying them though 30 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, cannon, 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 and 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, saltpetre, 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 autho- rized to proceed into the interior with passports to trade, will not extend to it, nor will hose 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 see fit; nor in future revisions of the Tarifl' is the same rule of revision to be applied to opium as toother 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 Regulations: 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

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 acknowlegd- ment 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 com- modities 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, on 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 on 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 imported 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 into any port other than those open to the interior on behalf of Chinese. They must be sold at the ports only, and, except at the ports, they will be regarded as Chinese property.

　　　　　　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 misunderstand- ing, 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 understood 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 Police information.

　　　　　　RULE 7.-Transit Dues.-It is agreed that Article XXXVIII. 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, 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 will then receive a certificate, which must be exhibited and viséd 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 regard- ing 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 Fee.-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 whall 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 smuggling 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 Com- munity, 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.

　　　　　　Art. 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 Com- missioner 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 Superintendent 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 term of six days direct to the Commissioner. If satisfied with the explanations, the Super- intendent 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.

Art. 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 the 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 seated 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.

ARTICLES 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.

　　　　Art. 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 Super- intendent. 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 Super- intendent to the Yamen of Foreign Affairs at Peking. If the Consul agrees with the Superintendent that the ship or goods ought to be 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.

Art. 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 his ship or goods attached, should the ultimate decision be against him, which bond being sealed 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 confiscated, 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 favorable 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 resume 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 Plenipotentiaries, that is to say:-His Imperial Majesty the Emperor of China, His Imperial Highness 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 Representative 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 obstructed 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 Retifications, shall, whether on the way or at the capital, be treated by all Chinese officials with the highest consideration.

　　　　　[Literally, "shall receive from all Chinese officials the most polite and most considerate treatment due to an Ambassador, so that he may without prejudice assert his position, authority, or rights."]

　　　　　Art. III.-The provisions of the Tientsin Treaty of 1858, and of the Supplemen- tary 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 Indemuity 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 Canton 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 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 Representative 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, appoint 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 expenditure, 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

CONVENTION BETWEEN FRANCE AND CHINA.

　　proportions among such sufferers, the amount to be appropriated for the losses 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 Heaven," to meet together for the preaching of the doctrine, to build churches and to worship; further, all such as indiscriminately arrest [Christians] shall be duly punished; and such churches, schools, cemeteries, lands, and buildings, as were owned on former occasions 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.

For the placing of the marks along the eastern frontiers the officers appointed shall meet at the mouth of the Usuri in May, 1861;

　　　　　and for similar duty on the Western frontiers, officers shall meet at Tarbagatai, -but the time of meeting, it is unnecessary to fix. The officers appointed for the above work shall act with all fairness and justice; and, as in accordance with the boundaries indicated in the First and Second articles of this convention, they shall make four charts, two of which shall be Russian and two either Manchurian or Chinese, and the said charts having been duly signed and sealed by the officers in question, shall be deposited, two (one Russian and one Manchurian or Chinese) in Russia, and two (one in Russian and one in Manchurian or Chinese) in China. On the interchange of these charts, they shall be appended hereto as forming part of this article.

　　　　Art. 4.-At all places along the frontier agreed upon in the First article of this convention, Russian and Chinese subjects may hold intercourse at pleasure. There shail not, in any case, be duties levied; and all frontier officers shall afford protection to merchants quietly carrying on trade.

In order to greater precision, the substance of the second article of Gae-hwan (Ay-Kom), is hereby again enunciated.

Art. 5.-Russian merchants, in addition to trading at Kiachta, may, when passing in the old established manner from Kiachta to Peking, dispose of sundries at Koo-lun and Chang-kia-kow.

Chinese merchants, desirous of so doing, are at liberty to repair to Russia, and

carry on trade.

　　　　Russian merchants visiting the Chinese marts shall be under no restrictions, whether as to the time at which they may visit such places or the duration of their stay; but the number of merchants at any one place shall not exceed two hundred. The Russian officers stationed on the frontiers shall supply each party of merchants with a passport, in which shall be specified the name of the chief merchant, the number of people that accompany him, and the place about to be visited by them for 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 misunderstand- ings and disputes, Russian Consuls, &c., may be stationed at the various trading marts; and, in addition to those at Ili and Tarbagatai, 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 like- wise, without obstruction, rent houses belonging to the people of the places at which they may chance to be stationed.

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.

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

In such serious cases as murder, robbery, wounding, conspiracy to kill, incendia- rism, &c., &c., the guilty party, if Russian, shall 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. changes, in existing regulations, as are necessitated by the altered state of affairs,] are hereby included in newly drawn up stipulations.

CONVENTION BETWEEN GREAT BRITAIN, FRANCE, THE

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AND HOLLAND,

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 Re- gulations 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 Re- gulations :-

　　　　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 Govern- ments that they accept, and they hereby do formally accept as binding upon the sub- jects 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 Tarif 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 con- tracting parties, on giving six months' notice to the others, may claim a re-adjust- ment 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.

　　　　　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 warehouses, 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 admit 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, 1858, 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 negotiations 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 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 inter- ested 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 cffect 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 inter- ference 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 à 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 navigation 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 same 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 Convention, and have affixed thereto their seals.

Doue at Yeddo, in the English, French, Dutch, and Japanese languages, this twenty-fifth day of June, one thousand eight hundred and sixty-six.

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 regula- ting 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 Ja- pan which are opened for American commerce by this treaty. The diplomatic agent and Consul-General of the United States, shall have the right to travel freely in any part of the empire of Japan, frona the time they enter on the discharge of their official duties.

Nee-e-gata on the (1st January, 1860), first day of January, one thousand eight hundred and sixty. Hiogo 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, another 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 of American citizens. In all the foregoing ports and towns, American citizeus 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 dwellings 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 regula- tions, 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 Ja- panese and sell to them, any articles that either may have for sale, without the inter- vention 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. Ārt. 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. in 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, Ha- kodadi, 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 opiam is prohibited, and any American vessel coming to Japan, for the purposes of trade, having more than (3) three caties' (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.

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. IV-A British vessel breaking bulk, and commencing to discharge before due permission shall be obtained, or snuggling 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 Custom House officers of that station, and will receive from them the guns and ammunition previously delivered into their charge.

subjects and vessels of the High Contracting Powers, in every portion of their respective territories where trade and navigation are actually allowed, or may here- after be allowed to the subjects or vessels of the most favored nations.

　　　　　Art. II.-The High Contracting Powers recognise reciprocally their right to appoint Consuls-General, Consuls, Vice-Consuls, and Consular Agents in the Ports and Towns of their respective States, and these officers are to enjoy the same privileges, immunities, powers, and exemptions, as are or may be accorded to those of the most favored nation. The said Consular Officers shall, however, not begin to exercise their functions until they shall have received the Exequatur of the local government. The Contracting German States will appoint one Consular Officer only for each port or town, but for those places, where they appoint a Consul-General or a Consul, they shall have the right of mominating a Vice-Consul or Consular Agent besides, to act for the Consul-General or Consul in case of his being absent or unable to attend. Vice-Consuls or Consular Agents may also be appointed by the Consuls-General or Consuls, their chiefs.

The German Consular Officer shall have under his protection, superintendence, and control the interests of all subjects of the Contracting German States, who reside or who arrive in Siam. He shall conform to all provisions of this Treaty himself, and enforce the observance of the same by German subjects.

　　　　　He shall also promulgate and carry out all rules and regulations which are now or may hereafter be enacted for the observance of German citizens with regard to the conducting of their business, and their due obedience to the laws of Siam.

Should the German Consular Officer be absent, subjects of the Contracting German States visiting Siam or residing in it, may have recourse to the intervention of a Consul of a friendly nation, or they may address themselves directly to the local authorities, who then shall take means to secure to the said German subjects all the benefits of the present Treaty.

Art. III.-Subjects of the Contracting German States visiting Siam, or taking up their residence there, shall be allowed free exercise of their religion, and they shall be at liberty to build churches in such convenient localities as shall be consented to by the Siamese authorities, and such consent shall not be withheld, without sufficient reason being assigned.

Art. IV. Subjects of the Contracting German States wishing to reside in the Kingdom of Siam, must be registered at the German Consulate, and a copy of this registration must be furnished to the Siamese authorities. Whenever a subject of any of the Contracting German States has to recur to the Siamese authorities, his petition or claim must be first submitted to the German Consular Officer, who shall forward the same, if it appear to him reasonable, and conceived in proper terms, or else shall modify its contents.

Art. V.-Subjects of the Contracting German States who may wish to take up their residence in Siam, shall for the present do so only in the city of Bangkok, or within a district defined by the following boundaries, namely:--

　　　　On the North: The Bang-putsa canal from its junction with the Chowpya river up to the old walls of the town of Lobpury, and a straight line from thence to the Pragnam landing place, near the town of Saraburi on the river Pasak.

　　　　　On the East: A straight line drawn from the Pragnam landing place to the junction of the Klongkut canal with the Bangpakong river; and this river from thence to its mouth. On the coast between the Bangpakong and the island of Simaharaja German subjects may settle at any place within a distance of twenty-four hours journey from Bangkok.

　　　　On the South: The island of Simaharaja, the Secchang Islands, and the walls of Petchaburi.

　　　river. Nevertheless German subjects may reside beyond these boundaries on obtain- ing permission to do so from the Siamese authorities.

All subjects of the Contracting German States are at liberty to travel and trade throughout the entire Kingdom of Siam, and to buy and sell all merchandise not pro- hibited, from and to whomsoever they please.

　　　　They are not bound to purchase from, or to sell to officials or monopolists, nor is anybody permitted to interfere with them or hinder them in their business.

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 be, 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 Kingdom of Siam, unless the Siamese authorities can prove to the German Consular Officer that there are lawful reasons for such detention.

Should they wish to go beyond the said limits and travel in the interior of the Kingdom of Siam, they shall procure for themselves a passport, which shall be delivered to them at the request of the Consular Officer by the Siamese authorities, and such passport shall not be refused in any instance except with the concurrence of the Con- sular Officer of the Contracting German States.

　　　　　Art. VIII.-Within the limits specified in the fifth article, subjects of the Con- tracting German States may buy and sell, take, or let on lease, land and plantations, and may build, buy, rent, sell, or let houses. The right, however, of owning land situated:-

2. On the right bank of the river between the points opposite the upper and the lower mouth of the Klong-padung-kung-krasem canal, within a distance of two English miles from the river, shall only belong to such as have received a special permission from the Siamese Government, or have spent ten years in Siam.

　　　　　In order to obtain possession of such property, German subjects may make an application 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 favored nation.

　　　　　Subjects of the Contracting German States shall be at liberty to search for and open mines in any part of Siam, and the matter being distinctly set forth to the Consul, he shall in conjunction with the Siamese authorities arrange such suitable conditions and terms as shall admit of the mines being worked.

permitted to engage in and carry on in Siam any description of manufacture not contrary to law, upon like reasonable terms arranged between the Consul and the Siamese authorities,

Art. IX. When a subject of one of the Contracting German States, residing per- anently or temporarily in the Kingdom of Siam, has any cause of complaint or any laim against a Siamese, he shall first submit his grievance to the German Consular Officer, who, after having examined the affair, shall endeavour to settle it amicably. 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 func- tionary, and having conjointly 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 punish- If the offender be a Siamese, he shall be punished by the Siamese authorities according to the laws of the country.

ment.

Art. XI. Should any act of piracy be committed on vessels belonging to any of the Contracting German States on the coast or in the vicinity of the Kingdom of Siam, the authorities of the nearest place on being informed of the same, shall use ali means in their power towards the capture of the pirates, and the recovery of the stolen pro- perty, which shall be delivered to the Consular Officer, to be restored by him to the owhers. The same course shall be followed by the Siamese authorities in all acts of pillage or robbery directed against the property of German subjects on shore. The Siamese Government shall not be held responsible for property stolen from German subjects, as soon as it is proved that it has employed all means in its power for the recovery of the same; and this principle shall equally hold good with regard to Siamese pipects living under the protection of any of the Contracting German States, and to twir Cir property.

Art. XII. On the German Consular Officer sending a written application to the Siamese authorities, he shall receive ¡rom them every aid and support in detecting or arresting German sailors or other subjects, or any individual under the protection of a German flag.

ing in Siam.

All concealment and connivance shall be carefully avoided by both parties.

Art. XIII. Should a subject of any of the Contracting German States, engaged in business in the kingdom of Siam, 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; be shall also neglect no means to seize, on behalf of the creditors, all the goods which the said bankrupt may possess in other countries. In like manner in Siam, the authorities of the Kingdom shall adjudicate and distribute the effects of Siamese subjects who may become insolvent in their commercial transactions with subjects of the Contracting German States.

　　　　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. In like manner the German Consular Officer shall give every assistance to Siamese subjects to recover debts which may be due to them by subjects of the Contracting German States.

　　　　Art. XV. Incase of the decease of any of their respective subjects in the dominions of one or the other of the High Contracting Parties, his property shall be delivered unto

the executor of his will, or, if none have been appointed, unto the family of the deceased, or unto his partners in business. If the defunct possesses neither family nor partners in business, his property shall, in the dominions of both of the High Contracting Parties, be placed, as far as the laws of the land permit it, under the charge and control of the respective Consular officers, in order that they may deal with it in the customary manner, according to the laws and usages of their country.

　　　　Art. XVI.-Men-of-war belonging to any of the Contracting German States may enter the river and anchor at Paknam, but in case they intend to proceed to Bangkok, they must first inform the Siamese authorities, and come to an understanding with the same respecting the anchorage.

Art. XVII. Should a German vessel in distress enter into a Siamese port, the local authorities shall offer every facility for her being repaired and revictualled, so that she may be able to continue her voyage. Should a German vessel be wrecked on the coast of the Kingdom of Siam, the Siamese authorities of the nearest place, being informed thereof, shall immediately afford every possible assistance to the crew, and take all measures necessary for the relief and security of the vessel and cargo. They shall thereupon inform the German Consular Officer of what has taken place, in order that he may, in conjunction with the competent Siamese authority, take the proper steps for sending the crew home, and dealing with the wreck and cargo.

　　　　Art. XVIII.-By paying the import and export duties mentioned hereafter, vessels belonging to any of the Contracting German States and their cargoes, shall be free in Siam of all dues of tonnage, pilotage, and anchorage, or other dues whatever, as well on their arrival as their departure. They shall enjoy all privileges and immunities which are or shall be granted to junks, Siamese vessels, or vessels of the most favored nation.

Art. XIX.-The duties to be levied on merchandize imported into the Kingdom of Siam by vessels belonging to any of the Contracting German States shall not exceed three per cent. on their value. They shall be paid in kind or in money, at the choice of the importer. If the importer cannot agree with the Siamese Custom House officers as to the value of the merchandize imported, the matter shall be referred to the Consular officer and a competent Siamese functionary, who, if they consider it necessary, will each invite one or two merchants to act as advisers, and will settle the difference according to justice.

　　　　After payment of the said import duty of three per cent., the merchandize may be sold by wholesale or retail, free of any charge whatsoever. Should goods be landed and not sold, and be again shipped for exportation, the whole of the duties paid on them shall be reimbursed; and in general no duty shall be levied on any cargo not sold. Nor shall any further duties, taxes, or charges be imposed or levied on imported goods after they have passed into the hands of Siamese purchasers.

　　　　Art. XX.-The duties to be levied on Siamese produce, either before or at the time of shipment, shall be according to the tariff annexed to the present Treaty. Every article of produce subject to duties of exportation according to this tariff shall be free of all transit and other dues throughout the whole Kingdom of Siam, and it is likewise agreed that no Siamese produce, which shall have paid transit or other dues, shall be subject to any tariff-duty or other charge whatsoever, either before or at the time of shipment.

　　　　Art. XXI.-On paying the duties above mentioned, which are not to be augmented in future, subjects of the Contracting German States shall be at liberty to import into the Kingdom of Siam from Gerinan and foreign ports, and likewise to export for all destinations, all goods, which on the day of the signing of the present Treaty are not the object of a formal prohibition or a special monopoly. The Siamese Government reserves to itself, however, the right of prohibiting the exportation of rice, whenever it shall find reason to apprehend a dearth in the country. But such prohibition, which must be published one month before being enforced, shall not interfere with the fulfilment of contracts made bond fide before its publication; Ger- man merchants shall, however, inform the Siamese authorities of any bargains they have concluded previously to the prohibition. It shall also be permitted that ships

which have arrived in Siam at the time of the publication of said prohibition, or are on their way to Siam from Chinese ports or from Singapore, if they have left those ports before the prohibition to export could be known there, may be laden with rice for exportation. Should the Siamese government hereafter reduce the duties on goods imported or exported in Siamese, or other bottom, vessels belonging to any of the Contracting German States, which import or export similar produce, shall immediately participate in the benefits accruing from such a reduction.

Art. XXII.-The Consular Officer of the Contracting German States shall see that German merchants and seamen conform themselves to the regulations annexed to the present Treaty, and the Siamese authorities shall aid them herein. All fines levied for infractions of the present Treaty shall belong to the Siamese Government. Art. XXIII.-The Contracting German States and their subjects shall be allowed free and equal participation in all privileges, that may have been or may hereafter be granted by the Siamese Government to the Government, subjects, or citizens of any other nation,

　　　　　Art. XXIV.--After the lapse of twelve years from the date of ratification of this Treaty the Contracting States may propose a revision of the present Treaty and of the regulations and tariff thereunto annexed, in order to introduce such alterations, additions, and amendments as experience may prove to be desirable. Notice of such an intention must, however, be given at least a year beforehand.

Art. XXV.-The present Treaty is executed in four-fold copies, in the German, the Siamese and the English languages. All these versions have one and the same meaning and intention, but the English text shall be looked upon as the original text of the Treaty, so that, if any different interpretation of the German and Siamese versions shall ever occur, the English text shall determine the sense.

The Treaty shall take effect immediately, and its ratifications shall be exchanged at Bangkok within eighteen months of the present date.

In witness thereof the Plenipotentiaries named at the beginning have signed and sealed the present Treaty at Bangkok, on the seventh day of the month of February, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty-two, corresponding to the Siamese date of the eighth day of the third moon, in the year of the Cock, the third of the Decade, eleventh of the present reign, and one thousand two hundred and twenty-third of the Siamese civil era.

Here follows the seals and signatures of the Commissioners,

　　　　This Treaty having been duly considered and concluded between the Admiral, on the part of the Emperor of the French, and the Prince of Cambodia, in order that Cambodia may be in peace and prosperity [with Lower Cochin-China], and as the two nations are contiguous, the Cambodians must not be on unfriendly terms with the French. For this reason the Emperor of the French commanded the Commander-in- chief, Vice-Admiral de la Grandiere, Governor of Saigon, to consult with the Prince of Cambodia, to make it publicly known that the Emperor of the French will assist to protect Cambodia. For carrying into effect this object the Commander-in-chief, Ad- miral de la Grandiere, Governor of Saigon, and the Sombetch Phra Mala Uperat, Governor of Cambodia, have concluded the following treaty:

Art. I.-The Emperor of the French will assist to protect Cambodia.

　　　　Art. II.-The Emperor of the French will appoint a French officer as Consul to reside near the Prince of Cambodia, to enforce the observance of this treaty by both nations. This French officer will be under the orders of the Commander-in-chief at Saigon. The Prince of Cambodia will appoint a Cambodian officer to reside with the Commander-in-chief as Consul.

Art. III. If a French officer reside in Cambodia in the above-mentioned capacity, he is to be considered as a noble of high rank, and to be respected and feared as such.

Art. IV.-If any other Foreign nation desire to appoint a Consul in Cambodia, the Prince of Cambodia and his chief nobles will consult with the French Commander- in-chief at Saigon, and if all agree, then that Foreign nation can appoint a Consul. If the Prince of Cambodia and his nobles will not consent to allow any foreign nation to appoint a Consul in Cambodia, the Admiral Commander-in-chief at Saigon will also refuse his consent.

　　　　Art. V.-If any French subjects desire to travel about for the purposes of trade, or to build houses in Cambodia, they must inform the Cambodian authorites, who will provide them with documents to do so.

Art. VI.-If any Cambodian subjects go to the French territories, they shall have like privileges and power.

　　　　Art VII.-If French subjects and Cambodians have disputes together, they must complain to the French Consul, and if after investigation the case is not settled, the Consul and the Cambodian officers will consult together and arrange the matter justly. If Cambodians have disputes, the French Consul will not interfere in the matter. If French subjects have disputes among themselves the Cambodian officers will not in- terfere. If foreigners, natives of Europe, have disputes with the French, the French officers will settle the case. If a French subject, having committed an offence, fly to Cambodia, the Cambodian authorities will assist the French Consul to convey the defaulter to the Commander-in-chief at Saigon for judgment. If there be no French Consul or Officers in Cambodia, the French Commander-in-chief will have power to act for the Consul in arranging such matters.

Art. VIII.-If a French subject wish to reside in Cambodia he will register himself at the French Consulate, and the French Consul will inform the Cambodian authorities of the circumstance.

Art. IX. If a Cambodian wish to reside in French territory, and there is no im- pediment to his doing so, he will be registered by the Cambodian authorities themselves, or by the Cambodian officer appointed by the Prince of Cambodia to reside at Saigon.

　　　　Art. X.-If traders bring merchandise of any description from foreign ports, with the exception of opium, for sale in Cambodia, and they have a pass from the Saigon authorities permitting them to come, the Cambodian Custom-house must not levy any duty, but if the traders bring opium, the Cambodian authorities can levy a duty on it.

Art. XIII.-If French ships or junks be plundered by pirates anywhere within the Cambodian territory at any time, and the Cambodian authorities of that place are informed of the circumstance, they will examine the matter, seize and punish the robbers according to law, and the property recovered will be restored to the owners or to the French Consul, who will deliver it over to the owners. If the robbers are not found, and no property recovered, and if the Cambodian authorities have made every search without success, the said authorities will not be held responsible. The above is also applicable to the property of French subjects in Cambodia.

Art. XIV-If Cambodian ships or junks be plundered by pirates in the French dominions, the French authorities of the nearest place on being informed will search for the robbers, seize and punish them according to law, and the property recovered will be restored to the owners; if the owners be absent, to the Cambodian officers for transmission to them. If after making search for the robbers and property the French officers do not find them, they are not to be held responsible.

　　　　　Art. XVII.--In order that the foregoing article may be easily carried into effect, the French Commander-in-Chief, Governor of Saigon, desires some land at "Charvey Chung," to build houses for coals and godowns for rice for the French vessels.

If any Cambodian temple ground in- tervene it must be avoided, and such ground to continue to remain and belong to the said temples. If the French Commander-in-Chief desire any more land anywhere, the Prince and his nobles, if after consideration they find a piece suitable, they will grant it on the same conditions as at "Charvey Chung."

Art. XVIII.-In order to show their gratitude for the protection afforded by the Emperor of the French for the purpose of promoting the peace and prosperity of the country, the Cambodians agree that if the French wish to cut timber in the Cambodian forests for the purpose of building the ships of the Emperor of the French, they shall be permitted to do so, upon informing the Cambodian authorities, who will send instructions to the Governors of the Interior to that effect. On the part of the French they agree to pay all expenses incurred. If the French buy any merchandise in Cam- bodia they will be permitted to do so with facility, the price of such merchandise to be arranged between the purchaser and seller.

ANNO DECIMO OCTAVO ET DECIMO NONO VICTORIE REGIN.E.

CAP. CIV.

An Act for the Regulation of Chinese Passenger Ships.

14th August, 1855.

Whereas abuses have occurred in conveying Emigrants from ports in the Chinese Seas: And whereas it is expedient to prevent such abuses: Be it enacted by the Queen's most Excellent Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, and Commons, in this present Parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:-

　　　　　　I. In the Construction of this Act, the Term "Chinese Passenger Ships" shall include every ship carrying from any port in Hongkong, and every British ship carrying from any port in China or within one hundred miles of the coast thereof, more than twenty passengers, being natives of Asia; the word " 'Colony" shall include all Her Majesty's Possessions abroad not being under the Government of the East India Com- pany; the word "Governor" shall signify the person for the time being lawfully administering the Government of such colony; the term "Legislature of Hongkong shall signify the Governor and Legislative Council or other legislative authority of the same for the time being; the word "Ship" shall include all seagoing vessels; the term "Commander " and "Mister" of any ship shall include any person for the time being in "command or charge of the same;" the term "Emigration Officer shall include every person lawfully acting as emigration officer, immigration agent or pro- tector of emigrants, and every person authorized by the Governor of any British colony to carry out the Provisions of this Act; and the term " British Consul" shall include every person lawfully exercising Consular authority on behalf of Her Majesty in any foreign port.

II.-It shall be lawful for the Legislature of Hongkong, by any ordinance to be by them enacted for that purpose; to make regulations respecting Chinese passenger ships, and, in the case of British ships, respecting the treatment of the passengers therein while at sea; and until such enactment, the Regulations contained in Schedule (A.) to this Act annexed shall be in force: Provided always, that no such ordinance shall come into operation until Her Majesty's confirmation of the same shall have been proclaimed in Hongkong by the Governor thereof.

III. It shall be lawful for the Governor of Hongkong to declare, by proclamation, for the purposes of this Act and of the said regulations, what shall be deemed to be the duration of the voyage of any Chinese passenger ship, and by such proclamation to alter the scales of dietary, medicines, and medical comforts contained in the afɔre- said schedule (A.)

IV.-No Chinese passenger ship shall clear out or proceed to sea on any voyage of more than seven days' duration until the master thereof shall have received from an emigration officer a copy of the aforesaid regulations, and a certificate in the form contained in schedule B. to this Act annexed, or in such other form as may be pre-

scribed by the said Legislature, which copy and certificate, with any documents to be attached thereto (hereinafter designated as emigration papers), shall be signed by the said emigration officer, nor until the master shall, with two sufficient sureties, to be approved by the said emigration officer, have entered into a joint and several bond in the sum of one thousand pounds to Her Majesty, her heirs, and successors, in the form contained in schedule Ĉ. to this Act annexed, or in such other form as shall be prescribed by the said Legislature.

V.-The said penal sum of one thousand pounds shall be due and recoverable notwithstanding any penalty or forfeiture imposed by this Act or by the aforesaid regulations, and whether such penalties or forfeitures shall have been sued for and recovered or not.

VI.-It shall be lawful for commanders of any of Her Majesty's ships of war, or for any emigration officer, Custom House officer, or British Consul, to enter and search any

　　　Chinese passenger ship (being a British vessel or within British Jurisdiction) so long as such ship shall have any passengers on board, and for forty-eight hours after- wards, and in case such ship shall be engaged on a voyage of more than seven days' duration, to require the production of the emigration papers of such ship, and to examine all persons on board of the same, in order to ascertain whether the pro- visions of this Act, and of the regulations aforesaid, have been complied with; and any person who refuses to allow, attempts to avoid, or obstructs any such entry, search, or examination, or who, knowingly misleads or deceives any person lawfully making any such search or examination, or who, being the master of the ship or having the emigration papers in his custody, fails to produce the same when required as aforesaid, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor.

VII.-In case of any neglect or refusal to comply with any of the provisions of this Act or any of the regulations aforesaid, or to perform any stipulation in any of the contracts made with the passengers, the master of the ship, and any other person who may have been guilty of, or have aided or abetted such neglect or refusal, shall each be deemed for each offence guilty of a misdemeanor.

VIII. If any Chinese passenger ship clears out or proceeds to sea on any voyage exceeding seven days' duration without such emigration papers as aforesaid, or if the emigration papers of any Chinese passenger ship are forged or fraudulently altered, such ship shall, if she is a British ship, or if, not being a British ship, the offence is committed and the ship is seized in Her Majesty's dominions or in the territories of the East India Company, be forfeited to Her Majesty.

IX.-Every person who commits or aids or abets in committing any act or default by which any Chinese passenger ship may become liable to forfeiture shall be liable to a penalty not exceeding one hundred pounds for each offence.

X-It shall be lawful for any commissioned officer on full pay in the military or naval service of Her Majesty, or any British officer of customs, or any British Consul, to seize and detain any ship which has become subject to forfeiture as aforesaid, and bring her for adjudication before the High Court

of Admiralty in England or Ireland, or any court having Admiralty Jurisdiction in For Majesty's dominions, or the terri- tories of the East India Company, and such cout may thereupon make such order in the case it thinks fit, and may award such portion of the proceeds of the sale of any forfeited ship as it thinks right to the officer 1inging in the same for adjudication, or to any persons damaged by the act of de.cult which has rendered the ship liable

to forfeiture.

　　　　XI.-No such officer as aforesaid shall be responsible, either civilly or criminally, to any person whomsoever in respect of the seizure or detention of any ship that has been seized or detained by him in pursuance of the provisions herein contained, not- withstanding that such ship is not brought in for adjudication, or, if so brought in, is declared not to be liable to forfeiture, if it is shown to the satisfaction of the judge or court before whom any trial relating to such ship or such seizure or detention is held, that there are reasonable grounds for such seizure or detention, but if no such grounds are shown, such judge or court may award payment of costs and damages to any party aggrieved, and make such other order in the premises as he or it thinks just.

XII.-It shall be lawful for the court before which any ship liable to forfeiture under this act is proceeded against, to impose such a pecuniary penalty as to the same court shall seem fit, in lieu of condemning the ship, and in such case to cause the ship to be detained until the penalty is paid, and to cause any penalty so imposed to be applied in the same manner in which the proceeds of the said ship, if condemned and sold by order of the court, would have been applicable.

　　　　　XIII.-All misdemeanors and other criminal offences punishable under this Act shall be dealt with, tried, and judged of in the same manner as misdemeanors and other offences punishable under the Merchant Shipping Act, 1854, and all the rules of law, practice, or evidence applicable to the last mentioned misdemeanors and offences shall be applicable to misdemeanors and other offences under this act.

　　　　　XIV-Any court, justice, or magistrate imposing any penalty under this Act for which no specific application is herein provided, may, if it or he thinks fit, direct the whole or any part thereof to be applied in compensating any person for any wrong or damage which he may have sustained by the act or default in respect of which such penalty is imposed, or in or towards payment of the expense of the proceedings; and subject to such directions or specific application as aforesaid, all penalties recovered in the United Kingdom shall be paid into the receipt of Her Majesty's Exchequer in such manner as the Treasury may direct, and shall be carried to and form part of the consolidated fund of the United Kingdom; and all penalties recovered in any British possession shall be paid over into the public treasury of such possession, and form part of the public revenue thereof.

　　　　　XV. In any legal proceedings taken under this Act, or in respect of the bond herein-before required, any document purporting to be the written declaration of any British Consul, or of the commander of any of Her Majesty's ships of war, or to be a copy of the proceedings of any court of justice, shall without any proof of signature be received in evidence, in case it shall appear that such copy or declaration, if pro- duced in the United Kingdom, was officially transmitted to one of Her Majesty's principal Secretaries of State, or if produced in any colony, was officially transmitted to the Governor thereof. Provided always, that no person making such written de- claration as aforesaid shall be capable of receiving a share of any penalty or forfeiture which shall be procured by such written declaration.

XVI. This Act may he cited for any parpose whatever under the name of the "Chinese Passengers' Act, 1855."

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 ørdinary detail and standing rule: and whereas the laws and regulations alluded to are contained in various imperial acts, local ordinances, and preclamations, and decisions of the emigration 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 government emigration agent,

Auy 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 surveyor'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 quantity 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.

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 examined the medicines, that they are good, and in accordance with the requirements of the Act.

　　　VI.-Passenger list in duplicate, with a summary attached, specifying the numbers respectively of passengers, under the Act, cabin passengers, crew, including master and all persons on ship's articles; showing 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 heretofore, under the head of "crew 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 on 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, or size and description, approved by the emigration officer :-

Less than 200 Tons Registered

200 to 400

400

IV. Every hatchway leading into 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 construction, 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 passengers, two funnels of wood or metal, four in all, with moveable heads, in manner following, that is to say:-the body of the air funnel to reach from underneath the lowermost 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.

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 darkness, 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, regulating supply of provisions; cabin passengers; description and stowage of cargo; stowage of water, &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.

Emigration Officer.

Extract from Instructions to Emigration Officers, 1856.

No sailing ship is to carry more persons (counting infants and everybody on board) than one statute adult to every two tons.

Of the two checks, by space and tonnage, it is not optional to take either indiffer- ently, but that must be taken which will most reduce the number of passengers; this double rule, however, is applicable only to sailing vessels. To steamers, as the machi-

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

　　　In 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 bond 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.

I.-The applicant, for permission to open an emigration house, shall furnish the Consul of the nation to which he belongs, for the information of His Excellency the Governor-General, with written 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 terms 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 public 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 Governor-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 accommoda- tion 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 pro- posed 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.

　　　　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 contract, 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 immediately 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 ascer- tained 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 maintenance, 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 Consuls, 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. 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 emigrants for whom accommodation is provided, the extent and quality of such accommodation, 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 con- ducting the emigration, or by closing the emigration house.

That the spaces appropriated 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 between 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 deck 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 con- viction 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, cabins 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 measurement 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 included 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 superficial feet of deck shall be the proportion required for each passenger.

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 flag of the United States, as the property of American citizens, although no register, enrolment, licence, 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 primâ 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 bona 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; I,

Collector of the Customs for the Port

of Sale, bearing late of

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 description of the vessel in his certificate.

cannot legally import goods, wares, or merchandize 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.-On arrival from a foreign port, such undocumented vessels, if laden with goods, wares, and merchandize 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 instruc- tions 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 passenger: 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 carriage of passen- gers in merchant vessels," approved 22nd February, 1847, "shall be less than six feet, and not less than 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 decks 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 length, and at least eighteen inches in width for each passenger." Due regard must be had to the foregoing provisions of law in estimating the number of passengers the vessel is entitled to carry. In computing 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 regulatingt he duties of the captain, 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.

JOSE RODRIGUES COELHO DO AMARAL,

No. 19.

Governador de Macao.

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 poderá 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 determinaçaö se deveria entender somente com relaçaö aos navios que levassem emigrados para Ilha de Cuba, ficando de novo em vigor, quanto aos que os condusissem para outros pontos, o que fora determinado na Portaria No. 39 de 5 de Junho de 1856, isto é que o numero dos passageiros, com os das pessoas da tripu- laçaö, se regulasse pela lotaçao do navio, na razaö de uma e meia tonelada por pessoa: Nao parecendo conveniente tal distincgaö, fundada na differença das viagens; pois que estas saö sempre longas para os paizes a que a emigraçao Chinesa geralmente se destina:

　　　　Sendo menos racional a fixaçao do numero de passageiros que um navio pode levar, pela sua lotaçao ou capacidade total; pois que é 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 competentemente habilitado, por curandeiros Chinas :

•

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

　　　　Artigo 1o.-0 maximo numero de emigrados Chinas que um navio poderá levar será regulado pela capacidade do alojamento destinado a esses emigrados, e pelas disposições que ahi houver para a entrada de luz, e a renovaçaö do ar. No caso mais favoravel, isto é recebendo o alojamento o ar e a luz por bastantes aberturas practica- das no costado do navio, e tendo este além disso bombas de ventilaçaö, o ditto numero se determinará pela condiçao de que a cada individuo corresponda uma parte do alojamento egual a dous metros cubicos. Não havendo as referidas aberturas no alo- jamento, mas tendo o navio bombas de ventilaçaö contar-se-ha com dous e meio metros cubicos para cada individuo. Faltando tambem a bomba de ventilaçaö o navio naö poderá levar maior numero de emigrados do que o correspondente á capacidade do respectivo alojamento, na razaö de tres metros cubicos por pessoa.

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

Artigo 30.-As disposições da presente Portaria começaraö a ter vigor desde lo de Janeiro do proximo futuro anno de 1865. As authoridades a quem o conhecimento e execuçao d'esta pertencer assim o tenham entendido e cumpram.-Macao, 13 de Agosto de 1864.

If you intend to rely on a set-off, illegality, fraud, want of consideration, cover- ture, a statute or ordinance of limitation, or a discharge under a bankrupt or insolvent act or ordinance you must give notice of such special defence to the clerk of the court and to the plaintiff in writing, and such notice must contain the particulars required by the rules of the court. If your defence be a set-off you must, with each notice thereof, deliver a statement of the particulars. If your defence be a tender, you must pay into court there, or at the hearing, the amount tendered.

Bring this summons when you come to the court or to the office for any purpose connected with this cause. On the day of hearing bring all books and papers, &c... necessary to prove your case. If you are not in court when the cause is called on, the plaintiff may proceed in your absence. If you have instructed an attorney to appear on your behalf, and neither your attorney nor yourself be present in court the result will be the same.

If the debt or damage claimed exceeds one hundred dollars you may, if the judge consent, appear by attorney, and in the event of your successfully resisting the plaintiff's claim, the judge may certify that the case was such as to render it fit and advisable that you should have professional assistance, but whatever be the fee which you shall pay your attorney, you will in no case be entitled to be reinbursed except as here- under written.

RULES AFFECTING SICK SEAMEN, TO BE OBSERVED

BY THE COLONIAL SURGEON AND THE

HARBOUR MASTER.

　　　　In any case of a Destitute Sick Seaman whom the Colonial Surgeon may deem it expedient to send to his native country or elsewhere, either because he is sufficiently recovered for that purpose or because he requires change, and is deemed able to undergo the voyage,--the following rules shall be observed:-

　　　　I-Each man's name requiring a passage shall be placed by the Colonial Surgeon on a list, which shall be sent to the Harbour Master on the last day of each week.

　　　　II. This list shall specify the name, age, country, date of admission into hospital, and by whose order admitted, the disease, and whether the patient is fit to proceed without medical attendance, whither proceeding, and how far he is furnished with clothing and bedding.

　　　　If the disease be contagious or of an offensive description, notice must be given, and when immediate removal is necessary, it must be so specified.

III.-The Harbour Master, on receipt of the Colonial Surgeon's list, is to take the best means of obtaining the desired passages, and will afford early intimation to the Superintendent of the Civil Hospital of the probable departure of the vessel, in which the passages are engaged, and will also give notice if a surgeon is on board such ship.

IV-All necessary clothing and bedding required by the sick men are to be pro- vided by the Harbour Master, and the Colonial Surgeon, when he considers it advisable, is to provide medicines.

　　　　　V.-The Harbour Master is to send to the hospital for the sick men, and to have charge of their embarkation.

VI.-A short account of the case is to be supplied to the Harbour Master by the Superintendent of the hospital. This account is to be delivered to the surgeon on board, if the vessel carries a surgeon.

VII.-On the occurrence of a death in the Government Civil Hospital, it shall be the duty of the Superintendent to give immediate notice to the Government under- taker, who will act according to the rules laid down in his contract.

VIII.-When an order for a passage is submitted to His Excellency the Governor for signature, it is to be accompanied by a copy of the Colonial Surgeon's list, and a note of the steps taken thereon, certified by the Harbour Master.

PREAMBLE.

309

Whereas by Section 85 of the "China and Japan Order in Council, 1865," it is provided amongst other things that "Her Majesty's Minister in China may from time to time make such Regulations as seem fit for the peace, order, and good govern- ment of British subjects resident in or resorting to China," and also that he "

may make any such regulations apply either throughout China, or to some one or more of the Consular Districts in China, and may by any such Regulations repeal or alter any regulations made for any such purpose as aforesaid, before the commencement of this order;" and whereas, in the Consular District of Tientsin, a certain quantity of land commonly known and described as the British settlement, has been rented in per- petuity from the Government of China by the Crown of Great Britain, and sublet by Her Majesty through her Consul to various Lessees; and whereas it is expedient that Regulations should be made for the peace, order, and good government of the said Lessees of the British Crown, and of all persons within the limits of the said settle- ment, and also for the peace, order, and good government of all British subjects within the said Consular District of Tientsin; and whereas it seems further to be urgently required that such Regulations should have effect unless and until they are disapproved by Her Majesty; be it therefore ordered that the following Local Land Regulations shall have effect and be binding upon all persons residing or being within the limits of the said settlement, as to all matters and things comprised therein, from and after the expiration of One Calender Mouth after the same shall have been affixed and kept exhibited at the office of H. B. M. Consulate at Tientsin; and be it further ordered that the following General Regulations shall in like manner be binding upon British subjects residing or being within the said Consular District of Tientsin, it being understood that the obligation of Foreigners to conform to and obey the said regula- tions is derived from their individual consent, and from being Lessees of Land under the British Crown with the sanction and consent of their National Authorities.

M. Minister, for the peace, order, and good govern- ment of the said settlement and all persons resident therein, it being also distinctly stipulated and expressly provided in the said agreement that, in case of the breach or non-performance by the said foreigner of any of the said regulations or bye laws which may be for the time being in force, then and in that case it shall be lawful for H.

Consul from the proprietor of the house if he be a leaseholder or British subject, and if not, from the leaseholder upon whose land the said house is situated.

Januory 20th, 1863.

　　　　1. Merchants or other persons importing merchan lise for sale into Bangkok, shall pass sight entries at the Custom-house within twenty-four hours after the vessel shall have entered in the Consulate or Mister-atten lont's office, aul upon such entries being made, permission shall be granted to land the gools. But in order that the discharge of the importing vessel shall not be delayed, the Siamese Custom-house au- thorities are at liberty to land, and store all goods for which permits have not been lodged with the Custom-house officer on board in time for goods delivery, and all charges for so landing and storing shall be paid by the importers or consignees.

　　　　II.-Forty-eight hours after the discharge of the goods shall be allowed the con- signees for completing the entries.

　　　　III.-Munitions of war are prohibited from being sold by merchants or other persons without reporting to the authorities, and obtaining permission to do so.

　　　　IV.-Mat bags, imported by merchants or other persons, shall pay a duty of three per cent. either in kind or money, but upon proof being given of their having been used by the importer for his own exportation, a drawback to the full extent of the duty on the bags so used shall be allowed by the farmer.

　　　　V.-Masters of vessels shall report to the inspector of customs any ship stores, provisions, or other merchan lise they may have for sale, anl obtain a permit to dis- charge the same previous to doing so.

　　　　VI.-Merchants or other persons having imported merchandise, and found it unsaleable, and desiring to re-export it, shall report the particulars to the inspector of customs, and receive drawback to the full amount of the duty paid by them on the said gools.

　　　　VII.-Masters of vessels, or super-cargoes purchasing produce, generally liable to export duty, to be consumed by the crews of vessels on a voyage, shall report to the inspector of customs the quantity purchased.

　　　　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.

　　　　IX. The inspector of customs shall have authority to search passengers' bag- gage when he deem it necessary, but it shall be passed within half-an-hour after the vessel's arrival in Bangkok. The cargo shall also be discharged under the inspection of a Custom-house officer according to the manifest furnished by the inspector of cus- toms, in the absence of the Custom-house officer appointed to be on board during legal hours, the master shall nevertheless have liberty to deliver cargo.

X. Should the inspector of imports and exports have reason to doubt the correctness of any entry, he may place under seal the goods so suspected, to be afterwards examined,

but such examination shall not be delayed by the inspector or consignee beyond the period of three months, and the merchandise thus under seal shall not be transferred nor exported, if upon examination the goods are found to have been incorrectly enter- ed, they shall be reclosed under the joint seals of the Inspector of Customs and the consiguee or importer, and shall be at once removed to the Custom-house godowns pending adjudication by the Consul, to whose jurisdiction the case belongs, and the Superintendent of Customs jointly.

　　　　XI.-Masters and super-cargoes of vessels shall ordinarily neither receive nor discharge cargo but between the hours of 6 A.M. and 6 P.M., when an officer will be in attendance on board. Special permission will have to be obtained from the Inspec- tor of Customs to receive or discharge cargo at other than the above stated times.

　　　　XII. That should permission not be granted by the Siamese authorities for a vessel to break bulk within 24 hours after her due entry, the Consul of the nation to whom the vessel belongs, shall have power to order the discharge.

　　　　XIII. That the Siamese government will be liable for damages in the case of any vessel having been detained by the inspector of imports and exports upon sus- picion, which on examination appears to have been unfounded.

XIV. That all cases arising from a breach of these regulations shall be laid be- fore 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.

　　　　Should it appear to the Consuls of this place, that those whose interests are committed to them, trade at a disadvantage in this last respect, they will withdraw their consent to the regulations.

years; this being the utmost limit that can be allowed for such registration.

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. 1.-If a vessel come into the Chow Phya river, she shall cast anchor at 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 vessel belonging to Siam, having a European or American Captain, then she shall first be reported to Luang Wisuth Sakaratith, the Harbour-master, and then a pass be obtain- ed 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 Kromata of the left hand (according to whose business it is), and request a pass for the vessel 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. officer discovers no cause why she should be detained, she may pass on.

And when the said

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] and report herself to the officer of the station, and whatever he shall direct the masters to do in the premises, that must be lone, 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.

327

Art. I.-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 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, report must be made of it to the Harbour-inaster, 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 articles 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 satisfac- tory evidence that the property lost was of the value claimed.

In all cases where a fine is imposed on masters of 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.

their merchandise, if they wish 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 the 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 the 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 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 caution 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 accord- ing 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.

329

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 oc- casioned shall be paid by 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 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 Harbour-master, or the officer in charge, shall first point out some place where it will be lawful to throw it: and in that place 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. [If 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 mis- management, 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

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 dainages 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 col- lision, 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 boat 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 trans- gressor

shall pay

all damages. But if there was not time to give warning at ten fathoms distance, and a collision 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 boat 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 conse- quently 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 out 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 a small boat heavily laden shall run against the large boat and capsize, no claim for damages shall be made upon said large boat.

Boats passing one another in Narrow Canal.

331

　　　　　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 narrow- ness 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 unlawfully 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 thoroughfare 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 persons, 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 en- treated 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.

Fishing Boa's 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 pas sing 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 live hood. And although a raft or boat shall run against them, and be broken or ups. t. 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 locities of such fishing places, and provide care- fally when yet not near, for passing hen safely. Such fishing boats and buoys are fixed establishments, not often changed Fise 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 ob- structions, 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 any life be lost by the accident, he shall forfeit the price of that person according to the eld law.

Property Adrift on the River.

Art. III. The old law forbade any person to take things that are accidentally opped, 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 thieves had stolen it. And thus there were many cases of itigation 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. It the property belong to ships in the river, report shall

be made of the same to the Harbour-master within twelve hours from the time the pro- perty 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 informed of the property lost, shall inform the owner of the pro- perty 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 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 magis- trate, 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 assists 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.

　　　　　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 person 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 wound- ed, 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 balf 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 punish- ment shall be inflicted upon 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 an- tagonist 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 assault be continued there, it shall be accounted a case of assault.

Again, if any person shall with innocent intent, go to visit another, on whatever business, or shall go to purchase something at the place of another, and then and there fall into a quarrel, it shall not be regarded as a case of assault, because the affray bad 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 as assault. And if the place [tn 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

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 hundredsen, [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 alarm 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 pur- pose 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 an alarm of fire. If the tire 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 fire is far or near, according to the sigual, 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 hong 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,-is 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 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 servants, and all the people will not have the 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 the purpose of such an act. This notice may be given on the same day that the exercise 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.

Shooting Games 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 no thoroughfare for the people. As regards shooting on temple grounds, or in villages, or the homes of men, or by the thoroughfares; sometimes the persons engaged are trusty persons; sometimes they are drunken, and will sometimes unawares 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 arms 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, buffalos, and other animals, which their owners are feeding. If a man disregard this law, and wilfully 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 shoot 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 for- bid 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 they shall go with hands free from all these. And when they go, let a serang or 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 night 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 re- sistance, 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 jurisdic tion they belong, shall adjudge the case according to the law (of his own country).

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 transgressors. 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 Cousul 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 of gate- keeper should seize him, and resistance be make, 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.

THE TREATY BETWEEN AMERICA AND CHINA.

The following Treaty, although not yet ratified, is inserted here for general infor- mation, as it was signed on the 4th July, and on the 16th of the same month was pending before the Senate for ratification.

The additional articles to the treaty between the United States of America and the Ta-Tsing Empire of the 18th June, 1858, are:-

　　　　　　Whereas since the conclusion of the treaty between the United States of America and the Ta-Tsing Empire (China) of the 18th of June, 1858, circumstances have arisen showing the necessity of additional articles thereto, the President of the United States and the august Sovereign of the Ta-Tsing Empire having named for their plenipotentiaries, to wit, the President of the United States of America, William H. Seward, Secretary of State, and His Majesty the Emperor of China, Anson Burlingame, accredited as his Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary, and Chih-Kang and Sun Chia-Ku, of the second Chinese rank, associated High Envoys and Ministers of his said Majesty, and the said plenipotentiaries after having exchanged their full powers, found to be in due and proper form, have agreed upon the following articles:-

Art. I.-His Majesty the Emperor of China, being of the opinion that in making concessions to the citizens or subjects of foreign powers of the privilege of residing on certain tracts of land, or resorting to certain waters of that Empire for purposes of trade, he has by no means relinquished his right of eminent domain or dominion over the said land and waters, hereby agrees that no such concession or grant shall be constructed to give to any power or party which may be at war with or hostile to the United States the right to attack the citizens of the United States or their pro- perty within the said lands or waters; and the United States, for themselves, hereby agree to abstain from offensively attacking the citizens or subjects of any power or party or their property with which they may be at war on any such tract of land or waters of the said Empire; but nothing in this article shall be constructed to prevent the United States from resisting an attack by any hostile power or party upon their citizens or their property. It is further agreed that if any right of interest in any tract of land in China has been or shall hereafter be granted by the Government of China to the United States or their citizens for purposes of trade or commerce, that grant shall in no event be construed to divest the Chinese authorities of their right of jurisdiction over persons and said property within said tract of land, except so far as that right may have been expressly relinquished by treaty.

　　　　　　Art. II.-The United States of America and His Majesty the Emperor of China, believing that the safety and prosperity of commerce will thereby best be promoted, agree that any privilege or immunity in respect to trade or navigation within the Chinese dominions which may not have been stipulated by treaty shall be subject to the discretion of the Chinese Government, and may be regulated by it accordingly, but not in a manner or spirit incompatible with the treaty stipulations of the parties.

　　　　　Art. III.-The Emperor of China shall have the right to appoint Consuls at ports of the United States, who shall enjoy the same privileges and immunities as those which are enjoyed by public law and treaty in the United States by the Consuls of Great Britain and Russia, or either of them.

　　　　　　Art. IV. The 29th article of the treaty of the 18th of June, 1858, having stipu- lated for the exemption of Christian citizens of the United States and Chinese converts from persecution in China on account of their faith, it is further agreed that the citizens of the United States in China, of every religious persuasion, and Chinese

　subjects in the United States shall enjoy entire liberty of conscience, and shall be exempt from all disability or persecution on account of their religious faith or worship in either country. Cemeteries for sepulture of the dead of whatever nativity or nationality shall be held in respect, and free from disturbance or profanation.

　　　Art. V.-The United States of America and the Empire of China cordially recog- nise the inherent and inalienable right of man to change his home and allegiance, and also the mutual advantage of the free migration and emigration of their citizens and subjects respectively from the one country to the other, for the purposes of curiosity, trade, or as permanent residents. The high contracting parties, therefore, join in reprobating any other than an entirely voluntary emigration for these purposes. They consequently agree to pass laws making it a penal offence for a citizen of the United States to take Chinese subjects either to the United States or to any other foreign country, or for a Chinese subject to take the citizens of the United States to China or to any other foreign country, without their free and voluntary consent respectively.

　　　Art. VI.-Citizens of the United States visiting or residing in China shall enjoy the same privileges, immunities, or exemptions in respect to travel or residence as may there be enjoyed by the citizens or subjects of the most favoured nation, and, recipro- cally, Chinese subjects visiting or residing in the United States shall enjoy the same privileges, immunities, and exemptions in respect to travel or residence as may there be enjoyed by the citizens or subjects of the most favoured nation.

Art. VII.-The United States and the Empire of China, recognising in the present progress of nations a favourable tendency towards unity of civilisation, and regarding a unity of money and a unity of weights and of measures as favourable to that great object, do hereby agree that they will use their influence and efforts to obtain the estab lishment, by the general agreement of nations, of representative coins having a common value, and also a common standard of weights and measures for all countries Art. VIII.-The United States freely agree that Chinese subjects shall without hindrance on account of their nationality or religion be admitted to all schools, colleges, and other public educational institutions, without being subject to any religious or political test; and, on the other hand, His Majesty the Emperor of China agrees that citizens of the United States may freely establish and maintain schools in that empire in those places where foreigners are permitted by treaty to reside.

　　　Art. IX.-The United States, always disclaiming and discouraging all practice s of unnecessary dictation and intervention by one nation in the affairs or domestic administration of the another, do hereby freely disclaim any intention or right to interfere in the domestic administration of China in regard to the construction of railroads, telegraphs, or other material internal improvements. On the other hand, His Majesty the Emperor of China reserves to himself the right to decide the time and manner and circumstances of introducing such improvements within his dominions. With this mutual understanding it is agreed by the contracting parties that if at any time hereafter his Imperial Majesty shall determine to construct or cause to be con- structed works of the character mentioned within the empire, and shall make applica tion to the United States or any other Western Power for facilities to carry out that policy, the United States will, in that case, designate and authorise suitable engineers to be employed by the Chinese Government, and will recommend to other nations an equal compliance with such application, the Chinese Government, in that case, pro- tecting such engineers in their persons and property, and paying them a reasonable compensation for their service.

　　　In faith whereof the respective plenipotentiaries have signed this treaty and hereto affixed the seals of their arms.

Done at Washington, the 4th day of July, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty-eight.

Constitution and Government.

The form of government of the Chinese empire is strictly patiarchal. The sove- reign 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 Ta- 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 no- thing 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 order 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 enforce 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 administra- tion, is the Tu-che-yiven, 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 pre- sent 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 milions 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:*__

　　The amount of land-tax not paid in money is chiefly discharged in rice, wheat, and pulse, which is kept by the government in immense granaries in the suburbs of Peking and Tung-chow.

GEOGRAPHICAL AND STATISTICAL.

341

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 com- pletely, 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 re- cent 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, pur- suing 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 Can- ton. In 1792, Lord Macartney's embassy attempted to put the trade on a more liberal basis, but with little success. In 1816, Lord 'Ambert's mission for a similar purpose also failed, though the 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 opening thus made was followed by a com- mercial treaty, signed on August 29, 1842, by the plenipotentiaries of the Queen of Great Britain and the Emperor of China, by the terms of which five ports of the empire were opened to European trade. The five ports comprised those of Canton, Amoy, Foo-chow-foo, Ningpo, and Shanghai. To these five ports were subsequently added eight others-namely, Swatow, Tientsin, Chefoo, Hankow, Kiukiang, Chinkiang, Formosa, and Newchwang.

　　　　　　The relative importance of these thirteen gates of Chinese commerce is shown in the following table, which gives the total value of the imports and exports of each, during the years 1863 and 1864 :-

The couriers who are despatched by the local functionaries are allowed to carry private letters for a trifling remuneration. Letters from Peking reach Shanghai in 15 or 20 days, and Canton, in 40, 50, and sometimes 60 days. The postage of a letter from Peking to Shanghai is about fivepence. The couriers change horses every twenty miles. It is expected that the Chinese government will be induced to grant a post- office contract to Europeans, which cannot fail to render great services to commerce.

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 & 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 powerless 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 Princes of the Empire, with their revenues and territorial possessions, taken from the Japanese "Official Almanack

GEOGRAPHICAL AND STATISTICAL.

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. Certain 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 aristrocracy, not dissimilar to that of Europe in the early middle ages.

Army and Population.

The armed force of Japan is composed of two distinct elements:-1. The troops maintained by the Daimios, and destined for the defence of their domains. 2. The troops kept by the Tycoon, and constituting the imperial army. The number of Daimios who have troops in their service amounts to 200, and they together keep up an effective of 370,000 infantry, and 40,000 cavalry, forming the Federal army, and placed at the orders of the Tycoon when the independence of the country is threatened. The imperial ariny, kept up by the Tycoon himself, reaches the nominal figure of 100,000 infantry and 20,000 cavalry, but its actual force does not exceed half of that amount. The present Tycoon reorganised the force in 1865-66. Henceforth it will comprise 80,000 men, infantry, cavalry, artillery, and engineers. The infantry is formed into regiments, manœuvring like the French soldiers, and armed on the same model.

　　　　　　　　　A number of Japanese officers and sub-officers were instructed by French military men at Yokohama in 1866.

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 year 1862, the foreign community at Kanagawa, the principal of the three ports of Japan open to aliens, 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, nov counting soldiers, of which number 140 were British subjects, and about 80 Americans, and 40 Dutch. At Nagasaki, the second port of Japan thrown open to foreign trade by the government, the number of alien settlers was as follows on the 1st of January, 1866-

British subjects... American citizens.

Dutch...

Prussian..

French..

70 Portugues... 32 Swiss...

Total........

A third port opened to European and American traders, that of Hakodadi, in the north of Japan, was deserted, after a lengthened trial, by nearly all the foreign merchants settled there, it having been found impossible to establish any satisfactory intercourse with the natives. Hakodadi is situated on an islaud, where there is little or no cultivation, separated from the continent of Niphon by the Sangar Straits. No Japanese can enter 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 imprisonment, to purify them from the supposed pollu- tion contracted abroad. The laws of Japan are severe, vintictive, and sanguinary. Fines are seldom imposed; banishment to the mines, imprisonment, torture, death by decapitation, poison, and impaling on a cross, are ordinary penalties of crime, the shades of which are little distinguished. It frequently happens, also, that the courts

JAPAN.

visit with punishment not only the delinquents themselves, but their relatives and dependents, and even strangers who have accidentally been spectators of their crimes. The prisons are gloomy and horrid abodes, containing places for torture and private executions, besides numerous cells for solitary confinement.

The Japanese police is extremely strict in the maintenance of order, and the punishment of delinquents. It is also charged with the registration of births, deaths, and marriages.

Trade and Commerce.

The commercial intercourse of Japan with the United Kingkom 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 eight years 1859 to 1866.

The total imports brought to Japan by British vessels rose from 5,693,647 Mexican dollars in 1864 to 11,560,509 dollars in 1865, and the imports in other vessels from 1,157,640 to 2,634,262 dollars. The exports in British vessels rose from 9,941,404 dollars in 1864 to 16,186,823 dollars in 1865, and the exports in other foreign vessels from 630,818 to 2,303,407 dollars. But the increase in the value of the exports from Japan was owing chiefly to the great rise in the price of Japanese silk; the quantity shipped in 1865 was rather less than in 1863, although costing nearly a trebled price. The tea trade was checked by the imperfect preparation of the leaf in Japan, and the quality seems more suited to the American than the English market, "Those who have most narrowly watched the progress of foreign intercourse with Japan" wrote the British Consul at Kanagawa, under date of March, 1864, "have long suspected that much of the antagonism to foreign countries, attributed by the Tycoon to the semi-independent Princes, was fictitious rather than real; that foreign trade as between the parties was a struggle-on the Tycoon's side to open the door leading to the outer world, of which he was lucky enough, in his representative capacity according to the traditions and established institutions of Japan, to possess the key, at the highest price on the side of the Daimios, to get cheaply through the barrier and part with as little as possible of their profits. The statements of Satsouma's agents, as well as other facts which have cropped up incidentally, have no doubt that that such is the true state of affairs."

　　　　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 imports 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,

NOTICE.

The following Signals, in substitution of the former ones, will be made at Victoria Peak to denote the approach of steamers.

　　　On a steamer, or the smoke of a steamer, being sighted, the compass bearing over the proper symbol will be hoisted at the Yard Arm; and the distance off in miles will be hoisted at the Mast Head.

The distance Signal will be kept up ten minutes, and the compass Signal until the steamer is made out.

　　　When the steamer is made out, if it is either an English, French, or American mail steamer, a gun will be fired, and the distance off at that moment will be hoisted under a ball at the Mast Head.

The compass Signal will then be hauled down and the proper National or house flag will be substituted for it. The Mast Head Signal will be kept up ten minutes, and the Yard Arm Signal until the steamer anchors,

　　　For any other than a mail steamer, the same Signals, with the exception of the gun or ball, will be used.

River steamers will not be signalled.

Other steamers from Macao and Canton will be made known by showing the National flag and symbol at the West Yard Arm only.

HONGKONG.

(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- eastern coast of China, and at the mouth of the Canton River, about 40 miles east of Macao, between 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-e

-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. It possesses one of the most magnificent harbours in the world, surrounded by picturesque hills, rising between 3,000 and 4,000 feet high, and offering a coup d'œil which blends 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 41° 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, 1843. But Hongkong perhaps comes more properly under the designation of a commercial depôt 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 cenvenient, safe, and commodious 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 additional 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, com- posed of the Colonial Secretary, the Officer Commanding the Troops, the Attorney- General, and the Auditor-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, and three unofficial members, nominated by the Crown on the recommendation of the Governor.

There is a large Police force in the Colony, numbering 649 men, of whom 129 are European, 383 Indians, 137 Chinese, and 100 Sikhs, added in March, 1867.

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. A Stamp Tax was introduced by the Government in (Dec., 1866), and is now in operation.

　　　　It will be seen that the British trade with Hongkong underwent great fluctuations in the twenty years from 1847 to 1866, but which corresponded throughout with the general Chinese commerce, differing only in so far as showing a trebling in the value of the Exports sent direct to China during this period, and little progress in those sent by way of Hongkong.

(From the China Pilot.)

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 everywhere, 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 875,199 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 perferable, in consequence of 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's 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 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 18 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 roads 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 westward, 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. until 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-cutter's 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 that 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 43 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, 2 miles deep, 14 miles wide at entrance, free from danger, and carries a depth of 10 to 16 fathoms. Tytam 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 har- bour, 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 tempestuous 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 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.

MACAO.

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 inhabitauts. 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 men- tioned, 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 im- possibility to determine the ultimate limits of the conquest the Portuguese 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 Portuguese 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 mini-terial 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 1557 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 them- selves ona desert island, then known by the denomination of Amangao. Such is the state- ment Fernao Mendes Pinto has given us in his peregrinations or voyages.

This asser- tion is not contra:licted 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 hisher in 1562. With them, Mathew Ricei, coming (1582) from India, spent some time, and must have been intimate; being a man of learn- ing and of an enquiring spirit-a Jesuit-he 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 im- pression 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 Asia, a work continued by Diogo de Couto; both of these historians speak of the progress the Portuguese made in Indiaand

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, be- cause 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. Thes ilence 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 in 1563, an epoch at which the Por- tuguese had been six years in possession of Macao. The mighty sea-rover, denominated by him and others Chang-si-lao, 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 Chin-chi-lung,* the father of Chin-chin-king or Hoxinga by changing Chin to Chung, chi to si, lung to lao? For in the historical abridgment by Duhalde of these sovereigns, the men 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 peniusula, 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 Mar- quis de Alorso, who governed Portuguese India in 1744, prove anything to the con- trary; 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 was granted, and sometime after liberty to built a few houses; and we likewise agree with the opinion of Dom† Alexandre da Silva Pedroso Guimaraens, bishop of Macao, who, as acting governor, wrote (1777) to the Senate, "by paying ground-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 unwilling to expose them to the violence of rapacious and unruly guests, the government resolved (it appears from the concession) 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 ex- termination of men 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 the tradesmen, mechanics, and servants, to leave off their business and retire, and there- upon issue an order not to furnish the inhabitants with provisions. The first settlers were 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 blames 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 wall--it was constructed in 1573 for the protection of the country, and to prevent their children from being kidnapped. In the middle of the

MACAO.

barrier is a door of communication, called porta 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, on 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 nome 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 neck 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 habitatious 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, spa- cious 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 south-west, being under three miles, and its breadth less than a mile. The Portuguese estimate the Peninsula 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 Manoelde 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 1808, by command of the Supreme Government, a map was made by Joaquim Bento de Fonceca. 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, burst- ing out at the foot of Charil and Nillan, 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 Anglo-Chinese Calendar for 1834.

MANILA.

　　　　　The Capital of Cuçonia, the largest of the Philippine Islands, and the principal settlement of the Spaniards in the east, in lat. 14° 36′ 8′′ N.,lon. 120° 531⁄2 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 three 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 islands 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 con- siderably in the interval, it is now estimated at about 4,000,000. There are some, but not many, Chinese settlers, and but few Europeans. The natives are said to be the most active, bold, and energetic of any belonging to the Eastern Archipelago.

"These people," says 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 bave walked through their villages, and found them kind, hospitable, 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 wor- steds, 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 bot- toms, 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 ascertained 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 1333 lbs., may be annually exported. The export is regulated by the supposed scarcity or abundance of food in the country.- (M'Micking's Manila, p. 270.)

　　their trade, even with its late increase, may excite surprise. This, however, is en- tirely a consequence of the wretched policy of the Spanish government, which per- severed 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 as 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 conse- quence 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.

ILOILO.

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 possesses 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 Pan 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 leav- ing 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 Tagubanhan islands. Through the passage between these islands there is safe anchorage. The Estancia affords ex- cellent anchorage and shelter at all times, and at Apiton opposite Yogubanham, there is also good anchorage in both monsoons. In the S.W. monsoon there is safe an-

chorage between Pan de Azucar and Sobrero islands, and in the bay of Malagobnoes. In the N.E. monsoon, in addition to the Estancia and Apiton, there is good anchor- age 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 this passage, and it should not therefore be taken.

　　　　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 Guimarás, 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 Pecodos, 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.

　　　　The lead is a good guide through the Siete Pecados channel, giving 41, 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 a 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 Otong. 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 affords 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 holling-ground not good.

In passing the S.W. point of Panay 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 when the water shoals, anchoring till daylight, as by keeping over to the Guimarús shore (particularly in the N.E. monsoon), they will find no anchorage, and will lose ground."

　　　　It is necessary to follow the above instructions carefully, 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 runs very strongly on both sides of it. With the flood tide (against the N.E. inonsoon), 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 2 miles N.W. 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 is some places are steep, and the others shoal gradually. To avoid this danger, vessels should, after closing Guimarás, keep that shore on 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 Guimaras shore than half-a-n.ile, 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 Guitarás 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 fathoms, as the Bank is steep-to. After passing point 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 cast and west, with deep water all round. The S.W. head bears from Point Bondulan N.N.E. E. 14 miles. Iloilo fort kept open of Point Bondulan will clear this danger.

　　　　These banks have been recently surveyed, in May 1864, by the officers of the Spanish "Hydrographic:! Commission," but the charts have not yet been published..

ILOILO.

At foot is a 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 Guimaras 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 anohorage, least exposed to the sweep of the tides, is to bring the Bantay (guard house), of 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 strong- est 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 eutering keep the port beacon close on board, after pas- sing which and the watch-house, steer for the second point on the starboard hand, ggiving 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, meet- ing 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 being 6 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 tons register have loaded part cargoes alongside the jetties. The custom is to load to 14 to 15 feet in the river and complete loading outside.

TIDES.--It is high water at Iloilo, full and change, at noon; springs rise 63 feet. The stream runs at springs quite 3 to 4 knots through Iloilo. The flood sets to the northward. 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. 1° 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 till 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.

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 subdivisions, and to the $1, $2, and $4, gold pieces coined in Manila.

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

GEOGRAPHICAL AND STATISTICAL.

　　　　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.

　　　　At the fine island of Negros the planting of cane is being much extended. The 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 expeditious, 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 Iloilo, and the amount of European goods consumed is becoming important.

Additional Note, regarding Lighthouses 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. 30° 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 deterinines 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 Guimaras bank, in the south of point Bondulan. On this account a vessel beating up should not lose sight of the south light.

AMOY.

CUSTOMS' REGULATIONS FOR THE PORT OF AMOY.

The following Customs' and Harbour Regulations, for the port of Amoy, were received too late to be inserted amongst similar Regulations for other ports:-

　　　　　I. The limits of the port are defined within lines drawn from the Southern- most point of Amoy island South-eastward to the nearest island; and thence, in the direction of the high Pagoda, to the point of Lam-tae-hoo hill; and from the North- ernmost point of Amoy island to the opposite point on the mainland.

II. The shipment and discharge of cargo can only be carried on in the inner harbour between Kulansoo and Amoy: Northern and Southern limits. The autho- rised Customs' jetties for the examination, landing, and shipment of goods, are those known as the Kang-ah-kow and Custom-house wharves.

III.-Masters of merchant vessels must deposit their ships' papers and import manifest with their Cousul (if they have no Consul, with the Customs) within 48 hours after entering the port.

　　　　　VI. When ready to discharge cargo, the consignee must send to the Customs an application in Chinese (and English) giving full particulars of the cargo to be discharged, when he will be furnished with a permit to remove his consignment from the ship by which it is imported, and to place the same in a cargo-boat. The cargo-boat must then repair to one of the authorised jetties, in order that the goods may be ex- amined and assessed for duty. A Customs' memo." will thereon be issued, to be taken to the bank by the consignee, who, upon payment of the duty therein noted, will be supplied with a "Duty Receipt."

IX.-Lights to be carried on the extreme starboard fore-yard arm, if required by the Harbour-master.

X.-Vessels not to anchor in that part of the harbour kept clear for steamers. XI.-No fire-arms to be discharged within the limits of the harbour without special notification from the Consul to the Customs; and if the vessel has no Consul to refer to, without express permission from the Commissioner of Customs.

XII. Power is vested in the Harbour-master to make bye-laws, which, in his experience of the requirements of the port, he may think desirable,-publicity to which bye-laws will be given, by posting them in the Custom-house for general information. XIII. These Regulations do not modify or affect any obligation or right of vessels, under the laws of seas and rivers, recognised by civilized uations.

XIV. -A breach of any of these Regulations shall be visited with a penalty not exceeding one hundred dollars; which shall be inflicted on the offender by the Consul of the nation to which such offender belongs, provided such a nation be a Treat y Power; otherwise by the Superintendent of Customs.

PORT OF ΑΜΟΥ.

NOTICE TO MARINERS.

　　　　The Buoys marking the dangers in the harbour of Amoy have been painted according to the rule in use by the British Admiralty and Trinity Board, viz:-to mark the starboard side of channels entering by black or red buoys only, the port side of channels entering by black or red buoys chequered, or vertically striped with white, and middle grounds by horizontally striped buoys.

　　　　Kellet Spit, north end, formerly marked by a striped buoy, is now marked by a red buoy.

　　　　Coker Rocks, formerly marked by a red buoy, are now marked by a vertically striped red and white buoy. This buoy has been placed about 20 fathoms to the E.S.E. of the shoalest patch, in order to guard vessels against ledges of rock, with 15 feet water, found to exist in that direction, and it may be passed close to on the Port Hand when entering the harbour. The shoalest patch, or pinnacle of the Coker Rocks, has a floating beacon on it until further notice.

New Rock, in North part of harbour, and Brown's Rock are marked by horizon- tally striped buoys.

In case any of these buoys are lost or moved, the position will as soon as possible be marked by a flag-boat or floating beacon.

Clerk in Charge.

IV.--Alphabetical Lists of over 3,700 Money Order-offices in the United Kingdom, shewing the counties in which they are situated are hung up for public reference at this office, and also at Shanghai and Yokohamna.

　　　　V.-Applicants for Money Orders must furnish, in full, the surname, and, at least, the initial of one Christian name, both of the remitter and the payee; if the remitter or payee be a Peer or a Bishop, his ordinary title will be sufficient, if a firm, the usual designation of such firm, such as "Baring Brothers" will suffice, but the mere term Messrs. such as "Messrs. Rivington," or the name of a Company trading under a title which does not consist of the names of the persons composing it, such

"Carron Co." is inadmissible.

VI. The remitter on stating that the Order is to be paid only through a Bank,. to have the option of giving or withdrawing the name of the payee, in such case, the Order will be crossed in the same way that Cheques are commonly crossed when they are intended to be paid through a Bank.

If the payee be unable to write he must sign the receipt by making his mark in the presence of a witness, who must sign his name, with his address in the presence of the officer who pays the order.

IX.-Should the payee of a Money Order desire to receive payment in the country in which the Order was issued, at some other office than that in which the Order was originally drawn, the transfer will be granted, provided the Order be inclosed to the Postmaster of the office in which it was drawn. In such case a new Order will be issued, the commission chargeable upon which will be deducted from the amount of the new Order.

　　　　　X.In the event of a Money Order miscarrying or being lost, a duplicate will be granted on a written application from the payee, (containing the necessary particulars, and accompanied by an additional commission) to the office where the original Order was payable.

　　　　XI.-On the receipt of a similar application, orders will be given to stop payment of a Money Order, or to renew a lapsed Örder. The additional commission in the last case will be deducted from the amount of the new Order. Lapsed Orders must be presented with the application for a new Order.

　　　　　XII.-But when it is desired that any error in the name of the remitter or payee should be corrected, or that the amount of a Money Order should be repaid to the remitter, or that a lapsed Order should be renewed for payment in the country in which the Order was originally drawn, application must be made to the Chief Money Order-office of such country. This application must be accompanied by an additional commission, unless it have reference to a lapsed Order, in which case the commission will be deducted from the amount of the new Order.

　　　　　XIII.-Repayment, whether of an original, or renewed, or a duplicate Order, will not be made to the remitter, until it has been ascertained that the advice has been cancelled at the office on which the Order was originally drawn.

　　　　　XIV.-Payment of an Order must be obtained before the end of the sixth calendar month after that in which it was drawn; for instance, if drawn in January, payment must be obtained before the end of July, otherwise the Order will become lapsed, and a new Order (for which a second commission, to be deducted from the amount of the Order, will be charged) will become necessary.

XVI.-After once paying a Money Order, by whomsoever presented, the paying office will not be liable to any further claim. If a wrong payinent, however, be made owing to negligence on the part of any officer of the Post-office, the Postmaster General of the country or colony in which the negligence occurs will, if he see fit, require the officer in fault to make good the loss.

XVII.-No money Order will be paid unless the advice has been previously received. XVIII.-Additional rules for greater security against fraud, and for the better working of the system generally will be made as occasion may require.

　　　　XVIV.-Should it appear that Money Orders are used by mercantile men, or others, either in the United Kingdom or at Hongkong, Shanghai, or Yokohama, for the transmission of large sums of money, the British or Colonial Post-office, as the case may be, will consider the propriety of increasing the commission, and will exercise the power of wholly suspending for a time the issue of Money Orders.

By Command,

PAPER published for transmission by each outgoing Mail to China and Japan, containing Mercantile Intelligence, and Political information especially collated, arranged, and compiled for the use of the foreign communities in those Countries.

ENGLISH AND CHINESE DICTIONARY,

WITH THE

PUNTI AND MANDARIN PRONUNCIATION.

AN ANGLO-CHINESE DICTIONARY, by the Rev. W. LOBSCHEID, published at the Daily Press Office, Hongkong,

FOR

OR scope and practical service this Work stands unrivalled. All the new words which the Chinese have of late years been com- pelled to coin to express the numerous objects in machinery, photography, telegraphy, and in science generally, which the rapid advance of foreign relations has imposed upon them, are here given in extenso. Each and every word is fully illustrated and explained, forming exercises for students of a most instructive nature. Both the Court and Punti pronunciations are given, the accents being carefully marked on the best principle hitherto attained. The typography displays the success of an attempt to make the Chinese and English type correspond in the size of body, thereby effecting a vast economy of space, achieving a clearness not previously attained, and dispensing with those vast margins and vacant spaces which have heretofore characterized Chinese publications.

The scope of the work is so great, and its utilitarian purposes so complete, that a reference to its pages enables a person who understands English to communicate effectively with natives who understand nothing but Chinese. In this respect the work will be found indispensable to all Europeans residing in China, and to the natives themselves it explains subjects fully with which very few indeed of them are perfectly acquainted. To parties resident in England and interested in China it cannot but be invaluable occasionally.

　　　　The work was commenced in 1864, and has actively occupied a large staff ever since. It comprises upwards of two thousand large quarto pages.

Price in London, £7 4s.; in Hongkong, 30 Dollars.

GAS SUPPLIED AT $1 PER 1,000 CUBIC FEET.

REGULATIONS OF THE COMPANY.

　　　　The Company supply Meters, which may be purchased by the Consumers, or lent to them at a monthly rental. The Meter is to be kept in good working order, and not to be unconnected without permission having first been obtained from the Office.

　　　　　The Meters will be examined and adjusted monthly, and the Company's Officers are to have free access at all reasonable hours to examine and inspect the same, together with the fittings.

Any Meter receiving damage beyond fair wear and tear, to be repaired at the expense of the Renter.

The accounts will be rendered monthly, and interest at the rate of 12 per cent. will be charged on all remaining overdue beyond the expiration of the month, in which they are rendered.

The account is to be paid according to the Meter's registered quantity, as the Meter is moved by the Gas itself passing through it, and cannot indicate a greater quantity of Gas consumed than the quantity so allowed to pass through it. As no deduction can be made, the Renters are solicited to watch the Index of the Meter weekly, or as may be convenient; the comsumption of an Argand, Bat-wing, or Fish-tail Burner will not usually exceed 5 to 6 Cubic Feet per hour of it use. In the event of the Meter ceasing to register, notice thereof is to be given to the office, & new Meter will then be forwarded, and the charge made for Gas, during the previous period, will be porportionate to the previous months.

Renters wishing to discontinue the use of Gas must send a written notice of their intention to the Office.

In case of removal the incoming Tenant is requested to see the Company's Receipt to the previous Tenant up to that date, or to retain the unpaid arrears in his own hands; also to give written notice to the Office of his intention to continue the Gas before he commences using it, as in the event of not doing so the new occupant will be held responsible for all, accounts due by the previous tenant.

The accounts are collected monthly, and the engraved receipt of the Company can only be recognized.

Upon breach of any of the above Regulations, the Company are at liberty, without previous notice, to discontinue the supply.

If, without the Gas passing through the Meter, any person should surreptitiously procure a supply, clandestinely increase it, or supply any other person with Gas, such proceedings will subject the party to a Prosecution.

Fittings erected by the Company will be kept in a state of efficiency for 12 months from date of completion, provided that such repairs only become necessary in the course of fair wear and tear.

　　　　　All letters and complaints (which must be in writing to ensure attention) to be addressed to the Manager, Office, West Point.
