GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.

His Excellency SIR JOHN BOWRING, Knight, LL.D., Her Majesty's Plenipotentiary and Chief Superintendent British Trade in China, &c., &c., has directed the following Circular, issued by Her Majesty's Acting Consul at ton, to be published for general information.

By Order,

Superintendency of Trade, Victoria, Hongkong, 3d July, 1858.

CIRCULAR.

G. W. CAINE.

The Senior Naval Officer has been good enough to communicate to the undersigned, the substance of a Communication received from the Commissioner Hwang this morning, in which, so far from disapproving of the proceedings of the Braves, he declines to interfere to them, and urges the evacuation of the City. He affects throughout entire ignorance of the existence of Negotiations to the North- and its general tone gives no room to expect anything but the most determined hostility.

The Community are probably as well informed as the undersigned of daily rumours and occurrences, and as competent to judge of the alities of a general attack on the City. Keeping this in view, the undersigned advises no longer to delay any necessary preparations for a departure which may be required, it being evident that the Allied Forces in the occupation of the City and River cannot well be con- d otherwise than in a state of War with the Provincial Government.

APPROACH AND ENTRANCE.

[JULY 10, 1858.

Vessels approaching the Harbour having made the High Lighthouse should keep it within bearings from N.W. to S.S.W., which will leave the Low Lighthouse open, and ensure its being seen when within its radius. Care must be taken not to shut the Iligh Lighthouse in with the Cliff's south of it, which it will do if brought to the northward of N.W. by N,, nor close it in with the North Head, which it will do if brought to the south of S. by W. W., the latter bearing being the guide to clear the extremity of Long Reef. The entrance of the Har. bour lies betwixt the Signal Station Cliff and the North Head, the distance between them 12 miles, which contracts betwixt the Inner North Head and the Reef extending from the base of the Low Lighthouse erected on the Inner South Head to of a mile, and is further contracted about 300 yards in the channel between the tail of the reef and the precipitous Middle Head, which bears W.N.W. from it.

WESTERN Channel.

To preserve a weather gauge, ships entering with winds from the southward or eastward should pass as close as possible to the tail of the reef, which extends 450 feet from the base of the Low Lighthouse. On this reef the sea always breaks. With a commanding breeze the breakers may be passed within a cable's length, in 8 fathoms, care being taken not to close the High Lighthouse with the Cliffs north of it (which it does on the bearing of S. by E.) until the Low Lighthouse bears S.W., and the two white Obelisks on the western shore are brought in one, on a bearing of W. S., which course will clear a dangerous 16 feet patch, lying 800 yards west of the Lower Lighthouse, and should be steered until Elizabeth Mansion, an imposing white square building with round dome, closes behind Bradley's Head, bearing S.W. S. A S. W. S. course must then be steered, (carefully keeping Elizabeth Mansion just closed over the low part of Bradley's Head, and leaving the Light Ship at about a cable's length on the port hand) until the High Lighthouse has opened its own breadth north of the red and white chequered obelisk below it, on the bearing of S. E. by E. E., when the ship will have passed the shoal and deepened her water to 9 fathoms, and may safely proceed up the Harbour and choose her anchorage by giving either shore a berth of a couple of cable's length. Beating up the Western Channel the deep water will be found on the western shore, with the exception of a small shoal patch having 18 feet on it, which lies in Obelisk Bight, in a line betwixt George's Head and Middle Head, 500 yards from the former. Avoiding this patch, you may make free with the western shore to within half a cable's length, but in standing over to the opposite eastern side, beware of the 16 feet patch before alluded to as lying West of the Low Lighthouse; to avoid it do not bring the Light Ship to the westward of S. by W. 4 W. Betwixt George's Head and the upper south-western tail of the Sow and Pigs Shoal, the channel is contracted by an 18 fee detached bank to the width of about 350 yards; to clear this the Light Ship must not be brought so far to the westward as to bring her and the obelisk on the North Head in line until the Iligh Lighthouse is open at least its own breadth north of the chequered obelisk below it; when you will be past the shoal and be able to work up with plenty of room in from 9 to 16 fathoms water.

Vessels of lighter draught than 15 feet can pass over these two shoal patches, and the upper portion of the Sow and Pigs Shoal, and stretch right across from shore to shore by not, when passing to the southward of the Light Ship, coming nearer to her than two cable's length. or not before the line from George's Head to the north Obelisk on the eastern shore bearing E. S. is passed, remembering that the deepest water over the Sow and Pigs, 22 feet, is obtained by closing Elizabeth Mansion behind Bradley's Head and keeping the high windmill, which stands on the heights east of the Elizabeth Mansion, a sail's breadth open of the Head.

Having cleared the Sow and Pigs Shoal the navigation up the Harbour is free from obstructions, with the exception of a ledge extending a cable's length from Bradley's Head, and a reef of the same extent off Shark Island, the first island that will be approached. A knoll, which lies 500 yards west of the Bottle and Glass (conspicuous rocks forming the south boundary of Watson's Bay), having 4 fathoms on it cannot, of course, impede a ship which has passed through either of the channels. It is, therefore, only necessary to keep at a cable's length from the shore, and when anchoring to take a berth which will admit of a long scope being veered to southerly squalls.

The following schedule of courses, distances, and soundings, will show at a glance, the nature of the navigation in the Western Channel, commencing from the position where the Lighthouse touches the cliffs north of it, and the two western obelisks are in one.

Denison on either hand,

Now that Obelisks have been erected as leading marks for the Eastern Channel, it may, in particular cases, be advisable to pass throug it, although on account of its limited width in several parts, and the necessity when entering it from seaward, for suddenly changing the course at right angles, it presents less advantages than the Western Channel. It may, however, be safely navigated by attending to the following in- structions:-

First, as in the case for the Western Channel, to clear the South Reef you must pick up the line of the two western obelisks in one, W. ¦ S., and immediately after passing two cables' length on that course westward of the meridian of the Low Lighthouse two obelisks, at high water level, on the strand of the eastern shore will suddenly unmask, bearing S. E., when they come in one, which they will do very rapidly, haul sharp up for them carefully preserving them in line for the first quarter of a mile, until on your port quarter you observe the North and Inner South Heads locking, when you may edge off and pass the northernmost of the two obelisks at half a cableʼs distance, taking care not to open the obelisk on the slope of the North IIead (after having once closed it with the Inner South Head) until you observe the spire of St James' Church, (the only spire which makes out in Sydney), its breadth open of Bradley's Head S. WW. When the high Lighthouse is seen to the northward of the chequered obelisk you are above the Sow and Pigs Shoal, and may bring up in safe anchorage, or proceed up the Ilarbour, there being no obstructions to the navigation except the Reefs off Bradley's Head and Shark Island, mentioned in the directions for the Western Channel.

ENTERING IN THE NIGHT.

Vessels approaching in the night with southerly or westerly winds, should keep the sea until daylight; but with winds from the northward or eastward, and favorable weather, they may safely enter, observing the following directions:-

The Revolving Light having been inade, it should be kept between the bearings of N.W. and S.S.W.; W., until the lower fixed light appears in sight; this light being brought to bear W. by S., a course should be shaped to pass a cable's length to the northward of the breakers on the reef extending from it, in 9 fathoms water, which depth is found at a distance of about 450 yards from the Lighthouse. After the meridian of the Low Light is passed, and it has been brought to bear to the eastward of south, a W. by S. course may be steered until the Floating Light bears S. by W. W., when a course should be shaped so as to leave the Light Ship a cable's length on the Port hand. After passing the Light Ship the course is S. W. by S., until the Revolving Light bears E.S.E., when you will be above the Sow and Pigs Shoal, and have deepened the water to 10 fatlioms, and by hauling up S.E. for a quarter of a mile will find convenient anchorage in 8 or 9 fathoms, sandy bottom; or may proceed further up the Harbour, taking care to avoid vessels and boats lying in the way.

ANCHORAGES WITHIN THE Heads.

Ships of large tonnage, or drawing more than 18 feet, ought not, with a fresh head wind, to attempt to work through the narrow chan- nels between the Sow and Pigs Shoal and the shore, neither should they anchor to the northward of the Light Ship with the Heads open, but rather bear up for Spring Cove or North Harbour, in which safe anchorage may be found. Spring Cove, where the Quarantine Station is established, is a small Bay (capable of containing four or five moderate-sized ships) on the western side of the promontory forming the North Head of Port Jackson, and lies due north froin the Inner South Head Lighthouse. Vessels seeking shelter in it should bring this Lighthouse to bear S. by E. before the North Head is closed with the Inner North Head about E. S. when they must steer a course about N. by W., passing at a cable's length distance the hummocky point, with a flagstaff upon it, which forms the southern boundary of Spring Cove, when they will be abreast of the anchorage, and may shoot into the Bay until the Inner South Head Lighthouse just touches the hummocky point before mentioned, and anchor in 6 or 7 fathoms, sandy bottom.

If a ship which has run for Spring Cove should find its limited space so filled by vessels as to prevent her taking up a berth, she may proceed on a course about N. by W. until a quarter of a mile to the northward of the north point of Spring Cove, and then anchor in fathoms at a cable's length from the eastern shore of North Harbour. Here a ship will be sheltered from the sea which S. E. winds send into the middle and western portion of this harbour.

Strangers to the Port may deem it objectionable to run to leeward for a confined anchorage, and those who have not got a Pilot had rstand out again until one can be obtained, unless they feel confident of being able to take in sail smartly and bring up quickly. Between Grotto Point and Middle Head, and due west of North Head, lies Middle Harbour, an arm of the sea extending several miles North West direction. It is open to the eastward, and not navigable for vessels drawing more than 9 feet, a bar of that depth running its mouth.

TIDES.

The tides in the Harbour of Port Jackson do not run with great velocity, the maximum rate of the ebb being two, and of the flood one half knots. Their course is generally that of mid-channel, except at the entrance, where the ebb tide, running strong near the North leaves a considerable space of slack water to the southward, of which vessels working in can avail by tacking to the southward when- the Floating Light Ship is seen open of the Inner South Head.

Mr Parsons acting as their Spokesman : "

2dly. "And, pursuant to motion of the Chief Justice at the last Meeting, the Council proceeded to hear the

evidence of the Hongkong Law Society, in support of their Petition ;"-

and inserting in their stead, after the words "brought forward for the second reading," the following words :-

The President having enquired whether any Person appeared in support of the Hongkong Law Society's Petition, Messrs Stace, Parsons, and Hazeland presented themselves at the Bar; and Mr Stace informed the President (Mr Hazeland tacitly assenting) that Mr Parsons had been authorized by the Petitioners to address the Council, and produce evidence in support of the said Petition:-

"Whereupon Mr Parsons, being called upon, proceeded to address the Council."

The Governor put the question,-That the words proposed to be struck out, stand part of the Minutes.

take any further trouble in the matter.

[JULY 17, 1858.

The Governor reprehended the conduct of Mr Parsons, and on the motion of the Attorney Gencral, nemine contra-

dicente, he was ordered to withdraw from the Bar.

No other Person appearing in support of the Petition, or otherwise :

It was moved by Mr Dent, and seconded by the Acting Colonial Secretary,-

That it appearing that neither the Attornies or Solicitors of Hongkong in general, nor the Hongkong Law Society in particular, authorized Mr Ambrose Parsons, one of their number, to appear at the Bar of this Council, in support of a Petition purporting to be signed by Mr E. K. Stace, for and as Secretary to the Hongkong Law Society, being the only Petition which has been presented against the Ordinance for Practitioners in Law; And it further appearing that the said Petition did not in fact emanate from, nor was authorized by the said

Society;

And it further appearing, that the said Attornies and Solicitors in general, and the said Society in particular, did nevertheless tacitly connive at the said unauthorized assumptions of the said Messrs Parsons and Stace, by not repudiating them, nor even protesting against the highly contemptuous and improper language and tone of the Speech made by the said Mr Parsons at the Bar of this Council in pretended support of the said Petition, and in the name of the said Attornies and Solicitors, and of the said Society;

And lastly appearing that the Parties concerned in the said Petition have not only failed to substantiate any one of

its allegations, but have themselves disproved some of them:

The Council declares the said Petition to have been a fraud upon its privileges, and, rescinding its former order that the same do lie upon the Table, determines to proceed to the second Reading of the said Ordinance. The Governor put the question,-That this Resolution be adopted.

NOTIFICATION.

The following copy of a Despatch from Captain SHADWELL, R.N., of H.M.S. Highflyer, to the address of the SENIOR NAVAL OFFICER, Hongkong, giving Bearings &c., of a Sunken Rock between the Saddle and Parker Islands, Coast of China, on which the British ship Cairnsmore was totally lost, is hereby published for general information.

By Order,

Superintendeney of Trade, Victoria, Hongkong, 22d July, 1858.

G. W. CAINE.

H.M.S. Highflyer, SHANGHAI, 10th July, 1858.

SIR, The British Iron-ship Cairnsmore, proceeding from Hongkong to this port, with a cargo of Rice, was totally lost, on the 26th June last, by striking on an unknown rock, when at anchor in the passage between the Saddle and Parker Islands.

On the 3d July I despatched Lieut. Ward, of H.M. Yacht Emperor, in the Halcyon schooner (lent me for the occasion by the Inspectors of Customs), to examine the position of the Rock. Deeming it of importance that immediate publicity should be given to the information obtained, I beg to communicate the following:

"The Cairnsmore Rock" lies in Lat. 30° 42′ 10′′ N., and Long. 122′′ 34′ 40′′ E., very nearly in mid-channel between the Parker Islan is and the Saddle Group.

The following bearings fix its position,-

S.E. point of Senhouse Island,-South.

A small rugged rock, close to the S.E. point of Raffles Island, and in a line with the point.-S. 59° W.

The northernmost rock of the group off Chesney Island (very conspicuous,)-N. 59° W.

The wreck of the Cairnsmore, still attached to the rock, has sunk in deep water; the foremast is still standing, inclined at an angle of 30° from the perpendicular.

The rock, which appears to be a perfect pinnacle rising from 12 fathoms water, has penetrated the ship's bottom amidships, and broken her back. It is difficult to estimate the depth of water on the rock, as the wreck at present covers it; probably at low water springs there is not more than 11 feet on it, and possibly less. In approaching this rock, the lead gives no warning, as it rises abruptly from 12 fathoms, and is very small, apparently not more than 30 or 40 feet in diameter.

It will be prudent in future for vessels navigating this channel, to keep on the Saddle Island side. Going North, when the "Bit Rock opens South of South Saddle Island, they will be to the Northward of the Cairnsmore Rock; and going South, when the same Rock opens the Northward of the South Saddle, they will be to the Southward of it.—I have, &c.

The Contract for publishing this Gazette, entered into on the 24th September, 1853, was terminated on the 30th ultimo; and notice is hereby given, that a NEW SERIES of this Gazette will be published hereafter, to commence from the 7th instant, under a New Contract, and that

JOHN BOWRING.

PROCLAMATION.

Peace has been happily established between The QUEEN of Great Britain and the EMPEROR OF CHINA. The solemn Treaty was signed at Tientsin on the 3d of July, by High Commissioners for that purpose appointed.

It is the duty of all good Subjects reverently and obediently to give effect to the engagements entered into by their respective Sovereigns, and most especially so when those engagements proclaim amity, harmony, and good will.

In this Colony great numbers of Chinese are settled. They have taken no part in any hostilities, but have pursued their avocations in peace and due submission to the Laws; many of them have been engaged in the service f Her Majesty's Subjects, have contracted engagements with them, and are entitled to the protection and friendship of the British Authorities.

But, in disregard of the obligations of Treaties, and of the Will of His Imperial Majesty, menacing Pro- clamations and Orders have been issued, compelling the peaceful residents of this Colony to quit their abodes,-to violate their obligations,-to neglect their duties, and to flee to the mainland of China; and these menaces have proceeded principally from the districts of Heang-shan and Sun-on.

Now, be it known to those who have issued, or who shall seek to give effect to such menaces, and especially to the authorities and gentry of Heang-shan and Sun-on, that these acts of hostility cannot be tolerated by me;-and itat. unless the Proclamations and Orders, compelling the Chinese People to leave this Colony, be immediately withdrawn, and the people who have left the Colony allowed without delay to return to their business, and to the rvice of those with whom they have been engaged, the Places and Persons to which these hostile acts are traceable will render themselves liable to signal punishment.

Moreover, attempts have been made to stop the supply of Provisions to this Colony;-and it is hereby, pro- claimed, that every Person who shall arrest or attempt to arrest the safe and regular transport of articles intended for the Markets of Hongkong, does, by such act, declare himself an enemy of Great Britain, and a lawless subject

f the Emperor of China, and will be severely visited for his offence.

Let, therefore, the disturbers of the Public Peace take warning,—and the well disposed rely on the protection hich this Government is willing and able to afford.

Given at Victoria, Hongkong, this 30th Day of July, 1858.

By His Excellency's Command,

W. T. BRIDGES,

Acting Colonial Secretary.
