4 9 11 21- June June June June Note (a.)-The Mails should leave Alexandria one day earlier than is here appointed, but, owing to the Outward Packet being despatched from Marseilles one day later than usual, the departure from Alexandria is necessarily postponed one day.

Note (b.)-This earlier departure, although a deviation from the contract, is permitted, to insure a junction being effected with the Packet from Calcutta at Point de Galle.

Note (c.)-On these occasions, owing to the prevalence of the south-western monsoon, the arrival of the Packets at Suez is likely to be retarded, and the delivery of the Mails at Marseilles and Southampton respectively affected in a corresponding degree.

W. H. ALEXANDER,

Acting Colonial Secretary

To His Excellency

SIR HERCULES G. R. ROBINSON,

Governor, &c., &c. of Hongkong.

We, the Board of Education, beg to submit to Your Excellency the following annual Report :-

Brief as the Report of the Board of Education has been in former years, that for the past year must be still more so. It has laboured under increased disadvantages in consequence of the resignation of the Rev. Mr. Irwin in the early part of the year, and of the departure of the Rev. Mr. Beach for Teen-tsien at a later period. There then remained only the Rev. Dr. Legge, to exercise an efficient inspection of the Schools.

　　　　　　Dr. Legge has endeavoured to look after the boys' schools in the middle and upper Bazaars, which he undertook to d? in 1860, while there was no regular Inspector. He has also made repeated visits to the schools at West Point and in Webster's Bazaar, Bowrington, and Tang-lung-chow. Ife is able to report favourably of all these. The attendance has been good, and.

the Teachers have been attentive.

The more earnest of the Teachers, however, complain of the difficulty which they have in securing the regular and perma- ?nent attendance of the pupils. In their last Report the Board suggested that this evil might be combated by the institution of a judicious system of rewards for good attendance, good behaviour, and proficiency. It has been unable to take any steps, during the past year, in accordance with that recommendation, but would advise that it be not lost sight of, when the arrival of a Head-master for the Central School shall render it possible to have a regular system of visitation of all the schools. Board rejoices that a gentleman highly recommended for the situation of Head-master will soon arrive; and hopes that the school rooms in Gough Street will be ready for the reception of the three schools of the Middle Bazaar, the Upper Bazaar, and the Tai-ping-shan by the time for reopening them after the Chinese New Year.

The

A new and convenient school room was completed and opened, in the month of August, in the thriving village of Show- ke-wan.

On behalf of the Board,

G. VICTORIA, Chairman.

　　　　　PINNACLE ROCK OFF THE SOUTHERN ENTRANCE OF RHIO STRAIT. The rock on which the Dutch Merchant "ship Hendrik Jan is supposed to have struck upon, is a dangerous pinnacle, nearly awash at low water, and steep, having 9 and 10 fathoms close to it all round. From it, the S.E. point of Talang bears N.W. three quarters of mile, and the apex of South- west hill, is just shut in by the south-western extremity of the island. The southern part of Talang is comparatively high, and rises to a peak 350 feet in height; Vessels should give this coast a berth of 2 miles, or by not bringing Pulo Terobi to bear southward of E. & N., until South-west hill over the west extremity of Siolon, comes well open of Pulo Talang.

W. H. ALEXANDER,

Acting Colonial Secretary

To His Excellency

SIR HERCULES G. R. ROBINSON,

Governor, &c., &c. of Hongkong.

We, the Board of Education, beg to submit to Your Excellency the following annual Report :-

Brief as the Report of the Board of Education has been in former years, that for the past year must be still more so. It has laboured under increased disadvantages in consequence of the resignation of the Rev. Mr. Irwin in the early part of the year, and of the departure of the Rev. Mr. Beach for Teen-tsien at a later period. There then remained only the Rev. Dr. Legge, to exercise an efficient inspection of the Schools.

　　　　　　Dr. Legge has endeavoured to look after the boys' schools in the middle and upper Bazaars, which he undertook to d? in 1860, while there was no regular Inspector. He has also made repeated visits to the schools at West Point and in Webster's Bazaar, Bowrington, and Tang-lung-chow. Ife is able to report favourably of all these. The attendance has been good, and.

the Teachers have been attentive.

The more earnest of the Teachers, however, complain of the difficulty which they have in securing the regular and perma- ?nent attendance of the pupils. In their last Report the Board suggested that this evil might be combated by the institution of a judicious system of rewards for good attendance, good behaviour, and proficiency. It has been unable to take any steps, during the past year, in accordance with that recommendation, but would advise that it be not lost sight of, when the arrival of a Head-master for the Central School shall render it possible to have a regular system of visitation of all the schools. Board rejoices that a gentleman highly recommended for the situation of Head-master will soon arrive; and hopes that the school rooms in Gough Street will be ready for the reception of the three schools of the Middle Bazaar, the Upper Bazaar, and the Tai-ping-shan by the time for reopening them after the Chinese New Year.

The

A new and convenient school room was completed and opened, in the month of August, in the thriving village of Show- ke-wan.

On behalf of the Board,

G. VICTORIA, Chairman.

　　　　　PINNACLE ROCK OFF THE SOUTHERN ENTRANCE OF RHIO STRAIT. The rock on which the Dutch Merchant "ship Hendrik Jan is supposed to have struck upon, is a dangerous pinnacle, nearly awash at low water, and steep, having 9 and 10 fathoms close to it all round. From it, the S.E. point of Talang bears N.W. three quarters of mile, and the apex of South- west hill, is just shut in by the south-western extremity of the island. The southern part of Talang is comparatively high, and rises to a peak 350 feet in height; Vessels should give this coast a berth of 2 miles, or by not bringing Pulo Terobi to bear southward of E. & N., until South-west hill over the west extremity of Siolon, comes well open of Pulo Talang.

　　　　　BANK NEAR PULO TAYA.-The Castor bank, forming a long ridge of coral and sand, nearly one mile in breadth, extends (from 4 miles east of Pulo, Taya) 13 miles in a N.N.E. direction. The shoalest part of this bank (5 fathoms) is about a mile In extent, with its eastern side steep, and bears N.E. § N. 10 miles from Pulo Taya.

　　　　　SHOAL PATCHES NEAR TIMBAGA ROCKS.-Inside the depth of water ships were cautioned not to approach within, when passing Timbaga rocks are several sheal patches of coral, and sand, about a cable's lenth apart, and steep having a depth of 8 At the middle patch (2 fathoms), Timbaga rocks appear nearly in line with a sharp peak (330 feet high), fathoms close to. south of Bukit Limaun; Apex of distant long hill (657 feet high) just open west of White rocks, off Tanjong Bedaamon, and bearing N. by E. 3 E. These shoals, and Timbaga rocks, may be avoided, by not bringing Tamjong Lalarie (Langgon Point) to bear southward of S.E. S., until Branie peak bears E. by N. N.

　　　　The patches are very steep, and not more than a boat's length in extent; to show their position, we left a black buoy on the outer patch in 4 fathoms, and nearly two cables west of the shoalest water.

　　　　　TIMBAGA OR COPPER ROCKS.-The highest one is four feet above high water, and with a setting sun, their reddish colour from the contrast offered to the green verdure of the land, makes them readily identified. To make them more con- spicuous at high water, and with a rising sun when they are not so clearly seen, I have had a white conical beacon surmount- ed with a ball erected on the highest part, and the whole height being 24 feet, will make it visible from a ship's deck in clear weather, 6 or 7 miles.

CAUTION TO MARINERS.

　　　　The buoys that formely marked the position of Lucipara, Frederick Hendrick shoals, and beacon on Karang Hadjie, in Banka Strait, are all missing. The Dutch Authorities have acquainted me of their intention to re-place these buoys, but owing to the numerous floating trees, and strong tides in Banka Strait, no dependence can be placed in the buoys remaining long in their proper position.

　　　　　SPIT FROM MUD BANK NEAR TANJONG BON.-At S.E. S. 10 miles from Tanjong Bon, there is a spit of 3 fathoms, projecting East 3 miles from the ordinary depth; vessels should give this coast a berth of 5 miles, until Tanjong Bon bears

West.

SOUTH ENTRANCE TO DURIAN STRAIT.-At nearly one mile south from Rocky islet, forming the eastern extremity of Near the centre of this bank, False Durian island, we found a bank of sand and shells carrying a depth of 3 fathoms over it. the high peak of Great Durian shows just open east of Rocky islet, and False Durian peak N.W. W. Vessels from the Southward, after passing South Brother island, should give the South side of False Durian island, a berth of 4 miles, as other shoals extend nearly this distance on that bearing.

All these dangers may be avoided by keeping South Passage island, or west end of Little Durian open west of Rocky islet, or by not bringing the latter to bear westward of N.N.W., until nearly abreast.

　　　　　PRINCES ISLAND.-On the eastern side there is a coral ledge extending about 3 cables beyond the trees, and E.S.E. of the southern extremity of the island.

　　　　　　ADVANTAGES GAINED BY ADOPTING THE ROUTE THROUGH VARELLA AND DURIAN STRAITS DURING THE NORTH MONSOON.From the Southward bound to Singapore, I would strongly recommend adopting the route through Varella and Durian Straits, where good anchorage, regular tides, and the chance of favourable land are found, whereas by going east of Linga, and through Rhio Straits, a heavy sea, head winds, and current governed by the winds will be experienced.

By His Excellency Sir HERCULES GEORGE ROBERT ROBINSON, Knight, Governor and Commander- in-Chief of the Colony of Hongkong and its Dependencies, and Vice-Admiral of the same.

Whereas His Grace The DUKE OF NEWCASTLE, Her Majesty's Secretary of State for the Colonies, has communicated to the Government of this Colony Her Majesty's pleasure on various matters connected with the Hostilities which are now carried on between the States of North America which have seceded from the Union and those which adhere to it, in a Circular Despatch of which the following is a copy:-

CIRCULAR.

DOWNING STREET, February 1st, 1862.

SIR,I enclose, for your guidance, the copy of a Letter which I have received from Lord Russell, from which you will learn Her Majesty's pleasure on various matters connected with the Hostilities which are now carried on between the States of North America which have seceded from the Union and those which adhere to it.

You will not fail to conform exactly to Her Majesty's commands.

I have the honour to be, Sir, Your most obedient, humble Servant,

The Officer administering the Government of IIongkong.

NEWCASTLE.

MY LORD DUKE,

FOREIGN OFFICE, January 31, 1862.

　　　　　Her Majesty being fully determined to observe the duties of neutrality during the existing hostilities between the United States and the States calling themselves the Confederate States of America, and being, moreover, resolved to prevent, as far as possible, the use of Her Majesty's harbours, ports, and coasts, and the waters within Her Majesty's territorial jurisdiction, in aid of the warlike purposes of either belligerent, has commanded me to communicate to your Grace, for your guidance, the following rules, which are to be treated and enforced as Her Majesty's orders and directions.

Her Majesty is pleased further to command that these rules shall be put in force in the United Kingdom, and in the Channel Islands, on and after Thursday the 6th day of February next, and in Her Majesty's territories and posessions beyond the seas six days after the day when the Governor or other chief authority of each of such territories or possessions respectively shall have notified and published the same, stating in such notification that the said rules are to be beyed by all persons within the same territories and possessions.

　　　　　1. During the continuance of the present hostilities between the Government of the United States of North America and the States calling themselves the Confederate States of America, or until Her Majesty shall otherwise order, no ships of war or privateers belonging to either of the belligerents shall be permitted to enter or remain in the port of Nassau, or in any other port, roadstead, or waters of the Bahama Islands, except by special leave of the Lieutenant-Governor of the Bahama Islands, or in case of stress of weather. If any such vessel should enter any such port, roadstead, or waters, by special leave, or under stress of weather, the authorities of the place shall require her to put to sea as soon as possible, without permitting her to take in any supplies beyond what may be necessary for her immediate use.

　　　　　If at the time when this order is first notified in the Bahama Islands, there shall be any such vessel already within any port, roadstead, or waters of those islands, the Lieutenant-Governor shall give notice to such vessel to depart, and shall require her to put to sea within such time as he shall, under the circumstances, consider proper and reasonable. If there shall then be ships of war or privateers belonging to both the said belligerents within the territorial jurisdiction of Her Majesty, in or near the said port, roadstead or waters, the Lieutenant-Governor shall fix the order of time in which such vessels shall depart. No such vessel of either belligerent shall be permitted to put to sea until after the expiration of at least twenty-four hours from the time when the last preceding vessel of the other belligerent (whether the same shall be a ship of war, or privateer, or merchant- ship) which shall have left the same port, roadstead, or waters adjacent thereto, shall have passed beyond the territorial juris- diction of Her Majesty.

2. During the continuance of the present hostilities between the Government of the United States of North America and the States calling themselves the Conferate States of America, all ships of war and privateers of either belligerent are prohibited from making use of any port or roadstead in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, or in the Channel Islands, or in any of Her Majesty's Colonies, or Foreign Possessions, or Dependencies, or of any waters subject to the territorial jurisdiction of the British Crown, as a station or place of resort for any warlike purpose, or for the purpose of obtaining any facilities of warlike equipment; and no ship of war or privateer of either belligerent shall hereafter be permitted to sail out of or leave any port, roadstead, or waters subject to British jurisdiction, from which any vessel of the other belligerent (whether

the same shall be a ship of war, a privateer, or a merchant-ship) shall have previously departed, until after the expiration of at least twenty-four hours from the departure of such last-mentioned vessel beyond the territorial jurisdiction of Her Majesty. If any ship of war or privateer of either belligerent shall, after the time wher this order shall be first notified and put in force in the United Kingdom and in the Channel Islands, and in the several Colonies, and Foreign Possessions, and Deper- dencies of Her Majesty respectively, enter any port, roadstead, or waters belonging to Her Majesty, either in the United King dom or in the Channel Islands, or in any of Her Majesty's Colonies, or Foreign Possessions, or Dependencies, such vessel shall be required to depart and to put to sea within twenty-four hours after her entrance into such port, roadstead, or waters, except in case of stress of weather, or of her requiring provisions or things necessary for the subsistence of her crew, or repairs, in either of which cases the authorities of the port, or of the nearest port, (as the case inay be), shall require her to put to sea as soon as possible after the expiration of such period of twenty-four hours, without permitting her to take in supplies beyond what may be necessary for her immediate use; and no such vessel which may have been allowed to remain within British waters for the purpose of repair, shall continue in any such port, roadstead, or waters, for a longer period than twenty-four hours after her necessary repairs shall have been completed: Provided, nevertheless, that in all cases in which there shall be any vessels (whether ships of war, privateers, or merchant-ships) of both the said belligerent parties in the same port, roadstead, or waters within the territorial jurisdiction of Her Majesty, there shall be an interval of not less than twenty-four hours between the departure therefrom of any such vessel (whether a ship of war, a privateer, or a merchant-ship) of the one belli- gerent, and the subsequent departure therefrom of any ship of war or privateer of the other belligerent; and the times hereby limited for the departure of such ships of war and privateers respectively shall always, in case of necessity, be extended so far as may be requisite for giving effect to this proviso, but not further or otherwise.

4.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 19?? APRIL, 1862.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.

　　　　　　The Colonial Surgeon's Report, with Returns on the Sanitary Condition of the Colony for the past Year, is published for general information.

By Order,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 17th April, 1862.

W. H. ALEXANDER, Acting Colonial Secretary.

A reference to the Meteorological Table, which accompanies this paper, will shew that my third Report on the Sanitary Condition of Hongkong, must relate to a year so exceptional as regards the absence of violent extremes of temperature as to justify the expectation that the inhabitants of this crowded Colony have experienced even a greater share of health than in the two immediately preceding years, which were themselves so remarkable for their salubrity; and this expectation will be found in some measure justified by the Tables which I shall be able to append.

The Colony has passed through another year without being visited by Cholera or any very violent epidemic of Fever. Small Pox has however been much more prevalent than usual, both in the Spring of 1861, and again at the end of the year; and I am sorry to report much more fatal in its character.

　　　　　The mortality from Dysentery, Diarrhea and Intermittent Fever will be seen to have maintained an average very nearly the same as in the previous year.

I.-The Police.

　　　　　This body contini es remarkable for its great healthiness; much of this fortunate result is doubtless owing to the care with which the officers attend to the men, and also in no small degree to the wise provision afforded by the Government for their care in sickness.

Table I. shews the admissions and deaths in the Hospital of Members of the Police Force during every month of 1861. Table II. shews the rate per cent of sickness and mortality of the Force during the same year.

It will be noted that the mortality is absolutely greater but relatively less than in former years.

II.—The Government Civil Hospital.

　　　　　Tables III. and IV. give the classification and result of treatment of the various patients admitted into this Hospital, with the per centage of mortality.

　　　　　Table V., kindly furnished to me by the Resident Surgeon, Mr. Enscoe, gives similar information in regard to the Seaman's Hospital.

III. The Gaol.

Table VI., which shows the rate of sickness and mortality in the establishment during the past year, is the least satis- factory table I have framed up to this time. It will be seen that the rate of mortality has been 4.03 per cent to the average number of prisoners, in comparison to a rate of only 1.67 in 1859. It must not be forgotten, however, that that average has increased to 146 against an average of only 239 in 1859, and that crowding has been a necessary consequence, which the completion of the new works will to some extent remove.

IV.-The Lock Hospital.

　　　　　　Table VII. affords a complete answer to those who think, that the Ordinance under which this institution was establish- ed, has effected no good. It will be seen that during the four years it has been in force 1,089 infected women have been segregated from the localities in which they could convey infection, and that during a total of 30,072 days; or in other. words supposing that every infected woman could only convey the disease to one man during each day she was diseased, we have at least 30,072 cases of disease prevented, or at all events 30,072 opportunities of conveying disease have been pre- vented. The table shews further that the average number of days in which these diseased women have been under treat- ment has steadily decreased until it has almost reached the minimum we can look for. This proves the disease to be milder in type and to have been arrested in its earlier stages.

Table VIII. gives the usual information as to the work done by the Inspector of Nuisances attached to this Department Table IX. shews the annual mean state of the Atmosphere during the year 1861, as recorded at the Government Civil Hospital.

VOTES AND PROCEEDINGS OF THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL OF HONGKONG.

No. 5 OF 1862.

MONDAY, 21ST APRIL, 1862.

PRESENT:

His Excellency The GOVERNOR and all the Members, except Mr. Chomley.

The Council met to-day pursuant to postponement as ordered by The Governor, no Meeting having

taken place on the 16th Instant.

The Minutes of the Council held on the 22nd March, were read and approved.

The "Post Office" Bill was read a second time.

On going into Committee for the consideration of this Bill,

It was resolved, that a Special Committee be appointed to examine into the Clauses of the said Bill,

and report thereon to the Council at its next meeting.

The Governor named the Chief Justice, the Attorney General, and Mr. Murray to be Members of such

Committee.

Read a first time a Bill, entitled "An Ordinance for the establishment and regulation of the Police

"Force of the Colony of Hongkong."

The Governor remarked that, in order to carry out the proposed reconstruction and increase of the Police Force, provision would have to be made for additional Barrack accommodation. It had been originally proposed to erect the following new Stations:---

One at Wanchai, estimated at

$4,000

An additional Story to Caine Road Station,

3,000

One Reserved Central Station, exclusive of ground which would have to be

purchased,

12,000

One Reserved Water Police Station,

....

11,000

The completion of the new Convict Gaol as per present Plans would cost.

$30,000 40,000

.$70,000

Forming a total of....

These arrangements for various reasons would be very incomplete if car- ried out, inasmuch as the several Police Stations would be scattered over the City, and in- conveniently situated for the proper management and distribution of the men. Further, no suitable site was available for the Central Reserve with a Drill Ground attached, and the new Convict Gaol would also soon be found insufficient for the growing wants of the Colony.

To rectify these deficiencies His Excellency now proposed to erect one princi- pal Central Police Station on the site of the present Convict Gaol at a cost of .........$ 61,000

And to build a new Gaol, capable of extension, on Stone Cutters'

Island, or elsewhere, at a present probable cost of

100,000

Total,........................$161,000

　　　　　　　Towards this expenditure the sale of the present Central Station and of two Police Stations in the Central Market which could then be disposed of, night be estimated at

:

140

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 3RD MAY, 1862.

$61,000, leaving the actual cost of the proposed plans $100,000, against $70,000, that of the original arrangements.

The difference of $30,000 being of little importance compared to the manifest advantages to be obtained, His Excellency said he had no hesitation in recommending the adoption of the amended scheme.

The Council concurred in these views and agreed to vote, when called upon, the funds necessary for

giving effect to the alterations proposed by His Excellency.

Read a first time a Bill, entitled "An Ordinance for the payment of Pensions to the Civil Servants of

the Government of Hongkong."

His Excellency then read the instructions from the Secretary of State under which this Bill had been

framed;

And the Council adjourned to Saturday, the 3rd Proximo, at noon.

Read and approved, this 3rd Day of May, 1862.

$61,000, leaving the actual cost of the proposed plans $100,000, against $70,000, that of the original arrangements.

The difference of $30,000 being of little importance compared to the manifest advantages to be obtained, His Excellency said he had no hesitation in recommending the adoption of the amended scheme.

The Council concurred in these views and agreed to vote, when called upon, the funds necessary for

giving effect to the alterations proposed by His Excellency.

Read a first time a Bill, entitled "An Ordinance for the payment of Pensions to the Civil Servants of

the Government of Hongkong."

His Excellency then read the instructions from the Secretary of State under which this Bill had been

framed;

And the Council adjourned to Saturday, the 3rd Proximo, at noon.

　　　　　SIR, I have to acknowledge the receipt of your Despatch of the 16th December last No. 220 forwarding the Minutes of the Commission of Enquiry into the conduct of certain Public Officers in Hongkong.

I am of opinion that it would have been impossible for the Commission to have arrived at any other conclusion than that Mr. Caldwell ought to be dismissed from the Public Service, and you will accordingly cause his dismissal to be publicly notified.

Address of the Members of the Legislative Council.

To HIS EXCELLENCY

SIR HERCULES GEORGE ROBERT ROBINSON,

Governor of Hongkong.

We, the undersigned, Members of the Legislative Council of Hongkong, beg leave to assure Your Excellency, on the eve of your departure for Europe, of the high respect and esteem with which we regard Your Excellency, and of our earnest hope that you may enjoy a safe and pleasant

voyage.

In the three years during which Your Excellency has been Governor of Hongkong, the Colony has advanced rapidly in wealth and population-public works of great importance have been commenced and carried on--extensive changes, having for their object the security and wel- fare of the inhabitants generally, have been made in our laws and institutions--and all these things have been done without pecuniary aid from the Home Government. The Finances of the Colony are in a sound and prosperous condition, notwithstanding the greatly increased expenditure, and the various departments of the Government all work harmoniously together.

We earnestly hope that Your Excellency will derive renewed health and strength from your temporary sojourn in Europe, and we venture to assure Your Excellency that it will afford us great pleasure, whilst we now wish you "God speed" on your departure, to meet Your Ex- cellency again in this Council Chamber, there to renew those relations which have existed between us for a period of very nearly three years, to the advantage, we trust, of the community of this Island.

The Governor's Reply.

GENTLEMEN OF THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL,

　　　　　I thank you most sincerely for this expression of your kind feelings upon my approaching departure, and for the gratifying assurance you convey to me of your respect and esteem.

The last three years have indeed, as you observe, been marked by the rapid growth of the Colony in wealth and population and by a corresponding increase in all the sources of revenue. These altered circumstances have called for, and at the same time supplied the means of carrying out, those public undertakings and measures to which you have referred, and whatever good may result from them I shall attribute it to the advice and assistance I have at all times received from you, and to the action of a united Legislature.

Although for a short time removed from personal intercourse with you I shall continue to watch over your progress with unabated anxiety-fervently praying that the blessing of the Almighty may direct your Councils and prosper your cfforts to secure the permanent welfare of the Colony.

I have received with no ordinary feelings of gratification your Address, so numerously and respectably signed, conveying to me the expression of your esteem, and the assurance of your best wishes for myself and my family.

　　　　　　The last three years have, as you observe, been marked by the rapid advancement of the Colony in wealth, population, and prosperity. I trust these circumstances may be held to indicate that here are to be found that security for life and property, and that equal justice between individuals, which constitute the first needs of Society, and the primary ends of Government.

　　　　　　You have been pleased to allude in terms of approval to my public conduct. It has indeed been my earnest and constant desire to promote, what I conceived to be, the real interests of the Colony, and it is very gratifying to me to find that the result is the approbation of those for whose good opinion I entertain a sincere respect and esteem.

　　　　　　I beg to assure you, on behalf of Lady Robinson and myself, that we shall carry with us, on our departure from the Island, a very grateful recollection of the consideration which we have received from this Community, and, although absent, we shall ever feel the deepest interest in its welfare and prosperity.

Trusting that, on our return here next year, we may find you individually in the enjoyment

farewell. of every blessing, we now for a short time bid you

I remain,

　　　　I assure you I have watched with great interest the birth and progress of the Volunteer movement here, and I now rejoice to observe the satisfactory footing upon which your Corps has been established. I feel confident that if you continue to devote yourselves with the same zeal and assiduity to your drill, your public spirit will result in the permanent establishment of a Force highly creditable to yourselves individually, and of lasting advantage to the Colony.

In the full expectation of this result I now for a short time bid you farewell, assuring that it is both my own and Lady Robinson's earnest hope that on our return here next year, we may find the Corps in full vigour and efficiency, and the Members of it individually in the enjoyment of all health and happiness.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.

No. 108.

The following Notice received officially from the Officer in charge of the China Sea Survey is directed to be published for general information.

By Order,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 24th October, 1862.

W. H. ALEXANDER, Acting Colonial Secretary.

　　　　We made the highest peak of the great Tambelan to be in Lat. 1° 1′ 24′′ N., which agrees, as nearly as possible, with the Lat. given in Ross's Chart. Horsburgli places it in Lat. 1° 0′ N. which cannot be correct, as it is impossible for us to be that much in error, our Latitude being determined by the mean of three sets of circummeridianal altitudes by artificial Horizon, all agreeing withing a few seconds, of each other. In all probability, Ross's Lat. was found in a similar manner. The Longitu de, we made to be 107° 32′ 49′′ E. In Ross's chart it is 107° 35', and the same in Horsburgh.

From the position of Tambelan Peak all the Latitudes and Longitudes given below have been calculated.

　　　　I should remark here, that it is required of Surveyors under the Hydrographic Office of the Admiralty that all Meridian distances be determined from observations by equal altitudes. Unfavorable weather prevented us obtaining such, and it is possible that the Longitude of Tameblan Peak, and consequently all the Longitudes given below-may be affected by subse- quent observations. But they can only be affected to a very small extent-certainly not more than half a mile; and, of course, the same error will apply to all the positions.

The Rifleman anchored in five fathoms on the Europe Shoal, which was found to extend about a mile in a N. by E., and S. by W. direction, the shoalest patch being in about the middle of the line, and having three fathoms on it at low water spring tides. Horsburgh gives two fathoms, but we could not find less than three, and all our boats were sounding over it several hours. Southward of the three fathom patch, the Shoal entends to the westward nearly three quarters of a mile, having from six to ten fathoms over this part of it. All round the Shoal there is from eighteen to twenty-five fathoms water.

We made the position of the three fathoms patch to be as follows :

Latitude 1° 11′ 18′′ N. Longitude 107° 25′ 42′′.

Rocky Islets.

　　　　The "Rodger" rock is of very small extent and as described by Mr. Alexander Rodger (vide Horsburgh page 305) is about 100 yards square, but at low water spring tides, there is but three feet water on it.

　　　　This is an exceedingly dangerous rock, for there are regular soundings of from 19 to 22 fathoms, for miles round it. The Rifleman was four days before she found this danger steaming slowly about with looks out on ail the yard arms, &c. As her tracks were plotted on the chart as she run them, it was seen beyond all question afterwards, when the rock was found, that she had passed very close to it several times, as had the boats also. It was ultimately found by the tide making against the wind and causing a slight ripple.

We made its position to be as follows:-

Latitude 0° 43′ 6′′ N. Longitude 107° 31′ 0′′ E.

Compass Bearings.

There is no doubt but this is the rock seen by Mr. Robert Loney, R.N., when in command of the Rose Ellis

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　(Vide Horsburgh page 305) and marked in the Admiralty charts as Rose Ellis. The rock is so far from the islands that the least error of bearing, either in the compass or in the observation, would cause the discrepancy in its position as given by Captains Rodger and Loney.

　　　　In the latest Admir. Ity charts there is a danger marked "Constance"? and laid down about one mile and three quarters South of large Jarrang. The Rifleman, was steaming a whole day about its position without its being discovered. Beyond being marked in the Chart, we are not furnished with any particulars, and, moreover, the shoals being marked as doubtful in itself, and not as of doub:ful position merely, induces us not to believe in its existence.

J

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 25TH OCTOBER, 1862.

A coral shool however, was found to lie off the S. W. end of little Jarrang, the shoalest part of which with three fathoms on it bears N. 68" W., nine tenths of a mile from the S. W. end of little Jarrang. From this patch, which is its western ex- treme, it extends about S. E. by E. three quarters of a mile, with depths over it varying from four to nine fathoms.

We believe that to have been the "Constance" shoal.

　　　　　　　　Tambelan highest peak on with the right extreme of Harbour island clears it half a mile to the westward, and White rock on with the right extreme of Large Jarrang leads over Line fathoms on the S. E. end of it. White rock kept well open of the right extreme of Large Jarrang clears the danger to the southward.

There is seventeen to twenty fathoms between this Shoal and Little Jarrang.

Several other Shoal patches and dangers were found, but they lie out of the track of ordinary navigators and which a

a glance at the chart would better describe then a long acount here.

It was our intention to have corrected the The general description of them given in Horsburgh's is in the main correct. positions of, and to have surveyed Victory Island, Saddle, Camels, Hump, &c., but the difficulty of getting sights at the break- ing up of the monsoon prevented this and caused us much delay.

　　　　　　　　This will be done as soon as possible, however, and the route from the China Sea to the Carimata surveyed; when such corrections as may be found necessary shall be applied to the descriptions given in Horsburgh, interfering as little as possible with the order and arrangement of that great work.

JOHN WM. REED,

Master in Command of “ Rifleman,” and in charge of China Sea Survey.

CIRCULAR.

Downing Street, 25th August, 1862.

SIR,--It has been brought to my notice that persons born of foreign parents in British territory are exposed to various inconveniences by their inability to procure such evidence as will satisfy Foreign Governments that they are British subjects. There is no doubt that the children of foreigners born in the British dominions are entitled to the character, rights, and privileges of British subjects, unless their parents at the time of their birth were alien enemies, that is to say, subjects of a power then at enmity with Great Britain.

The Law Officers of the Crown, to whom this question has been referred, are of opinion that it would be impossible with- out risk of inconvenience to authorize British functionaries to issue official certificates declaring absolutely that the person named in such certificate is a British subject; but they do not see any objection to a mere statement of belief to the same effect.

In case, therefore, it should be proved to your satisfaction that any person has been born in the Colony under your government of foreign parents, not being alien enemies, you will be at liberty to give either to him, or to any person applying for it on his behalf, a written statement of your belief that he has been so born, and that he is consequently a British subject.

I annex a form of statement which appears to me calculated to answer the proposed purpose, leaving you to vary

it according to the circumstances of the application or your own judgment.

I also annex a copy of the Correspondence which has given occasion to this Circular.-I have the honor to be, Sir, your most obedient humble servant,

The Law Officers of the Crown, to whom this question has been referred, are of opinion that it would be impossible with- out risk of inconvenience to authorize British functionaries to issue official certificates declaring absolutely that the person named in such certificate is a British subject; but they do not see any objection to a mere statement of belief to the same effect.

In case, therefore, it should be proved to your satisfaction that any person has been born in the Colony under your government of foreign parents, not being alien enemies, you will be at liberty to give either to him, or to any person applying for it on his behalf, a written statement of your belief that he has been so born, and that he is consequently a British subject.

I annex a form of statement which appears to me calculated to answer the proposed purpose, leaving you to vary

it according to the circumstances of the application or your own judgment.

I also annex a copy of the Correspondence which has given occasion to this Circular.-I have the honor to be, Sir, your most obedient humble servant,

The Officer Administering the Government of Hongkong.

Form of Statement.

I, HENRY BARKLY, Governor of the Colony of Victoria, have examined the following documents, that is to say (a Cer- tificate of birth, an affidavit of nationality of parents, &c., as the case may be), and I have satisfied myself by such examination that Heinrich Schmidt was born in the said Colony of Victoria, of Prussian parents, on or about the 10th day of August, 1842. The King of Prussia being at the above date in amity with the Queen of England; and I therefore believe the said Heinrich Schmidt to be a British subject.

Rev. P. La Trobe to the Duke of Newcastle.

To His Grace the DUKE OF NEWCASTLE, K.G.,

Her Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for the Colonial Department.

27, Ely Place, 24th April, 1852.

MY LORD DUKE,-In Commission from the Bishops and Elders of the Unity of the Brethren constituting the Governing Ecclesiastical Board of that Church, and residing at Herrnhut in Saxony, I take the liberty of bringing a subject under the notice of your Grace which has occupied much of their attention of late, and occasioned them not a little embarrassment and difficulty.

　　　　It has reference to the children of Missionaries of the Brethrens (or Moravian) Church born in the British Colonies, the parents themselves being natives of one or other Continental State, to which, if their lives are spared, they are accustomed to retire in the evening of their days. To the Missionaries themselves the rights of citizenship are willingly conceded by the Civil Authorities of these countries, but to their children, who are ordinarily sent home for education at an early period of life, these rights are denied as the latter are unable to produce what is termed a "Heimaths-schein," a document showing what country is their home, and likewise a Certificate, testifying that they have not evaded the required military service, they are disqualified from engaging in any liberal profession, or from establishing themselves in business.

　　　　This is naturally felt to be a great hardship, and I am requested to bring it under the consideration of your Grace, and respectfully to enquire, whether any means of remedying it can be found through the kind assistance of the British Govern- ment; a Government which has afforded to the Missions of the Brethren in times past so many tokens of its favour and its benevolent regard.

　　　　The Colonies of Britain in which the Brethren's Church has Missionaries, at the present time, are, Labrador, Canada, Jamaica, Antigua, St. Kitts, Barbados, Tobago, the Cape of Good Hope, Australia, and Hindostan. In these various districts, the number of stations is 48, of Missionaries of both sexes employed, 187; the great majority of whom are foreigners by birth; in Labrador and South Africa all, with one single exception.

On the Mosquito Coast there is also a Mission commenced, and thus far carried on under British protection, with 5 stations and 13 Missionaries, none of whom are subjects of the Crown of England.

Having stated the foregoing circumstances for the information of your Grace I beg leave respectfully to enquire-

　　　　1. Whether the children of German or other foreign Missionaries of our Church born in the British Colonies are entitled by the law of England to be accounted natural born subjects of Her Majesty.

　　　2. Whether in the event of such being the case, an arrangement would be deemed possible or expedient, by which the child of a foreign Missionary of the Brethren's Church, on presentation of a certificate of birth and baptism in a British Colony, might obtain from a functionary, duly authorized for the purpose, an attestation, that the said child was regarded as a natural born subject of Her Majesty, and in possession of the rights and privileges attaching to that character.

An attestation of this kind would confer a great boon on the young people in question, as it would not only free them from compulsory military service, but also render them capable of establishing themselves in professions or business, in any part of the Continent.

Your Grace will, I doubt not, be disposed to admit, that the children of persons who have devoted themselves to the arduous and self-denying Missionary calling, often in countries unfavorable to health and life, should not be lightly deprived of any portion of their civil rights, particularly as many of their number are left fatherless or motherless, perhaps both, at a very early age.

　　　　The fact that about four-fiftlis of all the Moravian Missionaries in the British Colonies are foreigners by birth, and that the beneficial effects of their labours, extending over a period of more than a hundred years, have been repeatedly acknowledged by the Government of England, since the year 1788, when they were honoured with the cordial approbation of the Privy Council, may, perhaps, be considered by your Grace as a sufficient apology for this intrusion on your time and attention.

With unfeigned respect,-I have, &c.,

(Signed) P. LA TROBE, Secretary to the Unity of the Brethren in England.

Sir F. Rogers to the Attorney General and Solicitor General.

Downing Street, 6th June, 1862.

SIR,I am directed by the Duke of Newcastle to transmit to you a copy of a letter which has been addressed to him by the Secretary to the Missions of the Moravian Church, relative to the status of the children born in British Colonies of Missionaries who are natives of Foreign States.

If it is the case, as his Grace apprehends, that these children would be British subjects, except in the unusual case of the parents being alien enemies, his Grace would be glad to afford to them (and of course to all other persons similarly circums- tanced), every convenience which could prudently be given.

And I am to request that you will, in conjunction with the General, favour his Grace with your opinion whether and under what conditions the proposed certificate, or any document equivalent to it, could be given without material risk of error or abuse, or of any inconvenience to Her Majesty's Government.-I am, &c.,

F. ROGERS.

The Law Officers to the Duke of Newcastle.

Temple, 23rd June, 1862.

MY LORD DUKE,-We are honored with your Grace's commands signified in Sir Frederic Rogers' letter of the 6th June instant, stating that he was directed by your Grace to transmit to us a copy of a letter which had been addressed to him by the Secretary to the Missions of the Moravian Church, relative to the status of the children born in British Colonies of Missionaries who are natives of Foreign States.

??

Sir Frederic Rogers was pleased to add, that if it were the case, as your Grace apprehended, that these children would be British subjects, except in the unusual case of the parents being alien enemies, your Grace would be glad to afford to them, (and of course to all other persons similarly circumstanced) every convenience which could prudently be given; and to request -that we would favour your Grace with our opinion whether, and under what conditions, the proposed Certificate, or any docu- ment equivalent to it, could be given without material risk of error or abuse, or of any inconvenience to Her Majesty's Gov-

ernment.

In obedience to your Grace's commands we have taken this matter into consideration, and have the honour to report: That there can be no doubt of the title of children, born under the circumstances mentioned in Sir Frederic Rogers' letter, to the character, rights and privileges of natural-born British subjects. But it appears to us, that the door would be opened to serious risks of error and abuse, and that great inconvenience might in some cases arise, if a system of official certificates of British citizenship were generally introduced, and we think it would be extremely difficult to lay down any fixed or certain rules, by which the fact of birth within Her Majesty's foreign or colonial possessions, might in all cases be verified, so as to enable the local authority to certify the same officially without risk of error or fraud. Upon the whole, it seems to us that it would be inexpedient to introduce any general or formal system of certificates of this kind. But we see no objection to per- mitting the local British authorities in cases in which any person, proved to their satisfaction to be a natural born British subject, may desire to have such testimony, to testify their belief of that fact in any form and manner which they may think fit." The effect of such a permission will not, as we conceive, be to con.mit Her Majesty's Government to require from Foreign Powers the recognition of the claims of any person who may be the bearer of such a testimonial, to the character of a British subject, unless he may appear (independently of the mere fact of his having such a testimonial) to be entitled thereto.-We have, &c.,

His Grace the DUKE OF NEWCASTLE, K.G.,

Sir F. Rogers to Rev. P. La Trobe.

WM. ATHERTON. ROUNDELL PALMER.

Downing Street, 19th July, 1862.

SIR, The Duke of Newcastle has taken into consideration with every desire to accede to its request, your letter of the 24th of April last, respecting the grant of certificates of British citizenship to the children born in British Colonies of Mission- aries of the Moravian Church, who are natives of Foreign States; and in communicating to you the following decision on the subject, his Grace desires me to state that he has not been able to answer your letter earlier, because the matter was one which required a communication both with the Foreign Office and the Law Officers of the Crown.

I am now directed to inform you that there is no doubt that the children of foreigners born in the British dominions are entitled to the privileges of British subjects, unless their parents are subjects of a country which at the time of the child's birth is at enmity with Great Britain, but that inconvenience and abuse might be apprehended if persons alleging themselves to have been born under such circumstances were entitled to claim an official certificate declaring them absolutely to be British subjects.

It is, therefore, deemed inexpedient to introduce any general or formal system of certificates of this kind; but the Duke of Newcastle would have no objection, if your Society should desire it, to instruct the Governors of Colonies, that in cases in which any person was proved to their satisfaction to be a natural-born British subject, they will be at liberty on his request to testify their belief to that fact.-I am, &c.,

REV. P. LA TROBE, 27, Ely Place.

Rev. P La Trobe to Sir F. Rogers.

(Signed)

F. ROGERS.

27, Ely Place, 29th July, 1862.

SIR, I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your obliging letter of the 19th instant, in reply to mine of the 24th April, addressed to the Duke of Newcastle, respecting the grant of certificates of British citizenship to the children of Missionaries of the Moravian Church born in British Colonies, the parents being natives of Foreign States.

　　　　　　　For the favourable consideration which the request of our Mission Board has received at the hand of his Grace I beg to return their cordial and respectful thanks.

　　　　　　　They readily understand the propriety of the reference to the Foreign Office and the Law Officers of the Crown, which his Grace felt it his duty to make, before deciding a question of so much importance.

　　　　　　Nor can they fail to admit that there might be objections to the general measure, which appears to have been under consideration, sufficiently serious to render its adoption inexpedient.

　　　　　　　Meanwhile they desire to express their gratitude to the Duke of Newcastle for the official declaration, "that the children of foreigners born in the British dominions are entitled to the privileges of British subjects, unless their parents are subjects of a country which at the date of the child's birth is at enmity with Great Britain;" and not less for the intimation of his Grace's readiness to empower the Governors of the different British Colonies to grant certificates of the kind requested by our Mission Board on certain specified conditions.

　　　　　　　With reference to the Duke of Newcastle's exposition of the Law of England as affecting the children of foreigners born in the British dominions I would take the liberty of observing, that his Grace would confer a great favour on the Directors of the Moravian Missions, by kindly furnishing them with a copy of the same under his own hand, that they might use it in a detached form, as an official document, in any transactions with German or other foreign Governments, which may be required" in fulfilment of the obligations which the Church has laid upon them.

　　　　　　　The instruction to grant certificates of British citizenship to the children of foreign Missionaries born in British Colonies which the Duke of Newcastle proposes to transmit to the Governors of those Colonies, will probably be found in conjunction with the preceding declaration of the Law of England, to answer every purpose for which such documents are desired, espe- cially if his Grace should be disposed so far to modify the plan which he has kindly suggested, as to allow the application to the Colonial Authorities to be made either by the claimant in person, or by parties of respectability on the spot, prepared to establish the fact of his birth in the Colony, and to prove the nationality of the parents, by oral or written evidence, or by affi davit, as may be deemed most satisfactory.

His Grace will doubtless appreciate the reason for this suggestion, if he will have the goodness to refer to the statement in my letter of the 24th April, that the young persons on whose behalf this favour is solicited are already on the Continent of Europe, at the very time when it would be needful to turn it to account, having been sent home for education at an early age.

+

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 1st NOVEMBER, 1862. 293

　　　　The case of Labrador, on which coast the Brethren's Church has four Missionary Settlements occupied by twelve Mission families, all of foreign descent, his Grace will perhaps allow to be treated exceptionally. Though considered an appendage to Newfoundland, there is no regular communication with that Colony, nor is there any functionary of the British Government, on a coast extending full 600 miles, from Cape Chudleigh to the Straits of Belleisle.

　　　　The Missionaries in the Himmalayan province of Lahul in the Punjaub, and in the Mosquito Territory, where the only British functionary is the Consul Dr. Green, are placed in very similar circumstances.

It is, however, by no means impossible that the Duke of Newcastle's official declaration of the Law of England, as appli- cable to the case of the children of foreigners born in the British dominions, may enable our Mission Board, with the friendly aid of the German and other Continental Governments, to provide a remedy in these particular instances, for the inconvenien- ces and hardships which have hitherto caused them so much embarrassment.

　　　　With many apologies to his Grace for the additional trouble my renewed application may occasion him, and with grateful acknowledgments of his past kindness.-I am, &c.,

Downing Street, 7th August, 1862.

SIR, I am directed by the Duke of Newcastle to acknowledge your letter of the 29th ultimo, respecting your desire that the children of Moravian Missionaries born in British dominions should receive certificates of British citizenship.

It would not be consistent with the practice of the public service of this country that the Duke of Newcastle should issue under his hand an official certificate respecting the state of the British law. The utmost that can be done is, that his Grace should authorize the Under Secretary, in his name, to answer an enquiry on such a subject in a form which is easily producible. I address a separate letter to you which has been framed with this object, by his Grace's directions, and which is signed by myself as his Under Secretary:

　　　　I also enclose for any observations which you may desire to offer, a copy of a circular which his Grace proposes to issue to the Governors of the British Colonies, placing them at liberty to issue documents, which his Grace hopes will remove the inconveniences to which the children of Moravian Missionaries appear to be exposed.—I am, &c.,

SIR,-I am directed by the Duke of Newcastle to inform you in answer to your letter of the 29th ultimo, that the children of foreigners born in the British dominions are entitled to the character, rights, and privileges of natural-born British subjects, unless at the time of the birth the parents were alien enemies, that is to say, subjects of a power then at enmity with Great Britain.

27, Ely Place, 11th August, 1862.

SIR,-I feel sincerely indebted to you for your great kindness in bringing the contents of my letter of the 29th ultimo, so early under the consideration of the Duke of Newcastle, and most thankful to his Grace for the prompt and favourable attention he has paid to my renewed application on behalf of the children of foreign Missionaries of the Moravian Church, born in British Colonies. By the answer he has been pleased to return, and the measures he has consented to adopt, his Grace has conferred a deep and lasting obligation on the Moravian Church and Missions, for which I beg leave to tender the grateful acknowledg- ments of our Mission Board.

　　　　　In your letter of the 7th instant, you inform me that the Duke of Newcastle is precluded by the practice of the public service in this country, from issuing an official certificate under his own hand to the effect that the children of foreigners born in British territory are entitled to the privileges of British subjects, unless their parents are subjects of a country which at the time of the child's birth is at enmity with Great Britain. You have, however, been so good as to return an answer to my inquiry on this important subject, in the form of a seperate letter, and this official declaration made by anthority of his Grace, will, I doubt not, be found effectual for the attainment of the object desired.

I have perused with attention the copy of the circular which the Duke of Newcastle is prepared to address to the Gover- nors of the several British Colonies, authorizing them to grant documents of such a nature as may tend to remove the incon- veniences to which the children of Moravian Missionaries have hitherto been subjected. Though much obliged by the permission given by his Grace to suggest any modification of the terms of the circular, or of the statements which the Colonial Governors are to be at liberty to issue, to or on behalf of the applicants in question, I am not aware that there is any necessity to avail myself of it.

On the contrary, I am persuaded that our Mission Board will be perfectly satisfied with the mode in which his Grace proposes to meet the difficulty, which they have ventured to bring under his notice, as well as most grateful to him, for his kind attention to their appeal.

With reference to the peculiar circumstances of the Missionaries in Labrador, Lahul, and Mosquitia, I do not think it necessary, to trouble the Duke of Newcastle any further at the present time. It is by no means impossible that with the help of the ieclaration of the Law of England, which his Grace has been so good as to furnish, our Mission Board may succeed in making such arrangements with the Continental Governments as may obviate the necessity of measures specially designed to meet these cases.

With the renewed expression of gratitude to the Duke of Newcastle.-I am, &c.,

(Signed)

P. LA TROBE, Secretary to the Unity of the Brethren in England.

　　　　　　　　En cas de retard dans l'arriv?e ? Point-de-Gaile et ?

La date indiqu?e ci-dessus pour le d?part d'Alexandrie pour Marseille, au voyage de retour, est un simple renseignement; le paquebot effectuant ce voyage quittera Alexandrie aussit?t apr?s l'embarquement des d?p?clies, des passagers et des mar- chandises provenant de la grande ligne de l'Indo-Chine.

Par contre, ce paquebot attendra dans tous les ca l'arriv?e de ces d?p?ches, de ces passagers et de ces marchandises avant de partir pour Marseille.

　　　　　　　La dur?e du stationnement des paquebots ? Point-de-Galle et ? Singapore, tant ? l'aller qu'au retour, pourra ?tre ?lev?e facultativement ? 24 heures dans tous les cas o? la n?cessit? en sera reconnue par les capitaines des paquebots.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.

W. H. ALEXANDER, Acting Colonial Secretary.?

The following Extract of Letter from the Lords of the Committee of Privy Council for Trade to the Under Secretary of State for the Colonies, dated September 4th, 1862, together with the Imperial Act to which it relates, are published for general information.

The attention of Shipmasters is particularly drawn to the various provisions of this Act.

By Order,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 19th November, 1862.

EXTRACT.

W. H. ALEXANDER, Acting Colonial Secretary.

　　　"It appears to my Lords that it is very important that the earliest opportunity should be taken by the Secretary of State to direct the attention of the Governments of the several Colonies to the provi- sions of the 23rd Section of this Act, which gives to Courts of Inquiry the power which, until the passing of the Act, was exercised exclusively by the Board of Trade, of cancelling or suspending the certificates of Masters and Mates; also to Section 24, which gives the Court a power which they had not previously possessed of demanding the delivery to them of a certificate pending the trial of the offender.

"My Lords would suggest that the Secretary of State should in making known these provisions to the Colonial authorities particularly impress upon them the necessity of a rigid compliance with the requirements of paragraph 6 of the 23rd Section of the Act, and should also point out that it is essential that any Report of an Investigation held in any Colony should not only receive but bear the formal confirmation in writing of the Governor or person administering the government of the Colony in which the Court is held.

　　　"This formality is rendered necessary by the 5th provision of Section 242 of 'The Merchant Ship- ping Act, 1854.'

"It is hardly necessary to observe that unless it is in future shown upon the face of any Report of Inquiry into Wrecks, or into the conduct of Officers in the Merchant Service, that the requirements above referred to have been strictly observed, it will not be in the power of this Board to withhold a certificate that may have been cancelled or suspended abroad, and the intention of the Act will be frustrated.

　　　"I am to add that there are other provisions in the accompanying Act relating to Merchant Seamen, which will form the subject of a further communication for the guidance of Shipping Masters in Her Majesty's British possessions abroad."

The Judge of the Summary Jurisdiction Court, and the Colonial Chaplain, provided that pre- vious to their appointments in such capacities, they shall not have served in other Offices in the Colony shall be entitled after Ten Years' and under Eleven Years' Service to Pensions at the rate of Twenty- sixtieths of the annual Salaries of their respective Offices, increasing an additional Sixtieth for every additional Year's Service, until the completion of Thirty Years' Service, when the annual allowance of Forty-sixtieths may be granted, and no addition shall be made in respect of any Service beyond Thirty Years. In case of the elevation of any Judge of the Court of Summary Jurisdiction, who may be en- titled to the additional Five Years allowed by this clause, to the Office of Chief Justice, the Pension of such Officer upon retirement may be calculated at the rate specified in this clause.

5. Any Public Servant of the Colony who may be elevated to the Office of Governor of Hongkong shall on his retirement from that Office be entitled to the same Pension as if he had continued to hold the Office which he vacated when he was appointed Governor and (supposing him not to be Fifty-five Years of age) as if he had retired from ill-health. Provided that if there shall be offered to any such .ex-Governor being under the age of Fifty-five Years any Public Office, or situation under the Crown, which having reference as well to the state of his health as to the nature of his previous Services, such ex-Governor may, in the judgment of the Lords Commissioners of II. M.'s Treasury, be properly called upon to accept; it shall be competent to the said Lords Commissioners to declare should le decline the same that the Pension of such ex-Governor shall be suspended until he shall obtain the age of Fifty-five Years.

6. No Public Servant will be held to have an absolute right to compensation for past Services, or to any Pension under this Minute; and Government will retain power and authority to dismiss any Public Servant without compensation.

7. No Pension will be granted to any Public Servant without the authority of Her Majesty's Government, in order to obtain which, Certificates of Service, Age, Good Conduct, and of the ground of retirement, must be submitted to the Secretary of State.

8. No Pension shall be granted to any Public Servant, who shall be under Fifty-five Years of age, unless upon Certificate from the Head of the Department to which he may belong, and from two Medical Practitioners that he is incapable, from infirmity of mind or body, to discharge the duties of his situa- tion; nor, unless he shall have discharged those duties with diligence and fidelity, to the satisfaction of the Head of his Department. And in case the Officer claiming such Pension shall be himself the Head of a Department, then such Pension shall not be granted unless he shall have discharged the duties of his Office with diligence and fidelity, to the satisfaction of the Governor, by whom the saine shall be certified to the Secretary of State.

9. It will be competent to Her Majesty's Government, in cases of peculiar and extraordinary merit, to grant special and higher rates of Pension than those laid down in this Minute, but not exceeding the full amount of the Salary.

　　　　　　　10. The above-mentioned rates are only to be granted in cases of decidedly faithful and meritorious service; but where the testimony as to fidelity, diligence and merit, is in any respect defective, a de- duction will be made from the apportioned rates. Where there has been obvious negligence, irregu- larity or misconduct, the grant of Allowance will be altogether withheld.

11. The claim of a Public Servant to Pension will be considered to have commenced from the date of his first permanent appointment to the Fixed Establishment of this Colony; Service on the Temporary Establishment of this Colony will however be allowed to count for Pension when such Service shall have been continuous with a subsequent permanent appointment. In the case of Public Officers appointed from Home (except Clets) their Services will be reckoned from the date of the Secretary of States' Despatch notifying the appointment to the Governor.

12. Cadets appointed in pursuance of the Regulations published in the Government Gazette of 12th October, 1861, will date the commencement of their Claims to Pension from the period at which the Board of Examiners may declare them qualified for Government Interpreters.

　　　　　　13. The Services in respect of which Superannuation Allowances are granted, ought in all cases to have been continuous; unless interrupted by reduction of Office or other temporary suspension of employment, not arising from misconduct, or voluntary resignation of the party.

THE HONGLONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 29TH NOVEMBER, 1862. 335

14. The Pension shall be computed upon the Salary of the permanent Office held by a Public Servant at the time of his retirement, provided he shall have held the same Office for at least Three Years, and that the Salary of the same shall not have been revised during that time: otherwise the Pension shall be calculated upon the average annual amount of Salary received by such Person f?r Three Years next preceding the coinmencement of such Pension.

15. In case of reduction or abolition of Office, Temporary Allowances may be assigned agreeably to the specified rates; on condition however that the parties receiving the same will be liable to be re-called into the service, and with the understanding that they are to be re-employed as opportunity may occur in preference to new applicants for Office.

16. The period of Service upon which the Superannuation Allowance of all Officers appointed to the Public Service, taking leave of absence in the regular manner with abatement of Salary will be calculated, will be at the rate of One Month for every Two Months of such leave.

　　　　17. If any person receiving a Pension under this Minute should be appointed to fill any Office in any Public Department, such Pension shall cease to be paid for any Period subsequent to such Ap- pointment, if the annual amount of the Profits of the Office to which he shall be appointed shall be equal to those of the Office formerly held by him, and in case it shall not be equal to those of his former Office then no more of such Pension shall be paid to him than what with the Salary of his new Appointment shall be equal to the Profits of his former Office.

inay

18. Should the time of Service not warrant the assignment of an annual Allowance, a gratuity be granted after the rate of One Month's Salary for each Year of Service.

By His Excellency's Command,

W. H. ALEXANDER, Acting Colonial Secretary.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 29TH NOVEMBER, 1862.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.

　　　　　　The attention of Commanders of Vessels and others is particularly called to the following Notice received from Mr. Reed, R.N.

By Order,

W. H. ALEXANDER,

Acting Colonial Secretary.

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 24th November, 1862.

NOTICE.

To Commanders of Vessels and others interested in the Navigation of the China Sea.

　　　　　　H. M. Steam Surveying Vessel Rifleman having been commissioned, at the instance of Rear Admiral Washington F. R. S. Hydrographer to the Admiralty, for the continuance of the China Sea Survey recently carried on in H. M. S. Saracen,- --more especially with the object of fixing the positions of the reefs and dangers which exist, and of clearing the chart of those which are found not to exist, in the China Sea and different routes to China, Commanders of Vessels are in- vited to co-operate in this important service by forwarding to Singapore the results of their experience, or any information they are at present or may afterwards become possessed of, bearing on the objects of the Survey.

It is of the greatest importance that all information should be as close and minute as possible. Objects transit are in- valuable as affording lines of direction. An astronomical or true bearing of one object and angles from that object to others, are of much greater value than several compass bearings. When it is not possible to obtain an Astronomical bearing, a care- ful compass bearing must be substituted, and the angles taken from that object to others. It is of advantage to take several compass bearings, but in addition to, not as substitutes for, angles.

　　　　　　Angles are of the utmost value in picking up dangers of small extent and lying some miles off the land. It is extremely difficult and entails much loss of time to find such dangers with only compass bearing, although there may be several such bearings given.

　　　　　　In illustration of these remarks, may be mentioned the circumstance that in the Survey of the Tambelan Islands, just completed in the lifleman, two days were lost in finding the Europe Shoal and four days in finding the Rodger Rock, although in both instances more than ordinary care had been taken to obtain their positions by their discoverers, and, in the last instance, a transit was given which furnished the means, ultimately, of finding the rock.

　　　　　　The position of these dangers is given Hors. Vol. II Page 304. Now a few angles from the Europe Shoal and one angle from the transit given by Capt. Rodgers ("The highest Tambelan in line with Pulo Jarrang") to Green Island, would have enabled us to find them in an hour.

　　　　　　　Transits should also be minutely described, thus, in the above instance, it would have been of much greater value had it been noted as follows "Tambelan Peak seen over the right apex of Large Jarrang" this would have enabled us to follow the exact line down until we must have found the rock. As it was, we anchored first as nearly as possible in the bearings given, and sent our four boats starring round the ship; failing in this, we were three days steaming about with looks out on the yard arms, boats on either beam and every possible means in force, before we found it.

　　　　　　Of course it is of the greatest importance to the success of our work that we should not lose time and fritter away day after day in the fine season (when only we can work) in searching for dangers which exist somewhere else than where described; close and accurate information is of all things therefore, the most valuable to us.

　　　　　　　Commanders of Vessels and others who have been long employed making passages up and down the China Sea, could do a very useful service by causing extracts of their Log books to be made shewing the Winds and Weather they have ex- perienced in the different months of the year. It is very desirable to accumulate a mass of information on such points, and those gentlemen who kindly assist in carrying out the objects of this survey may rely upon the due acknowledgement of their labours. It will at all times afford the greatest pleasure to the Commander and Officers of the Rifleman to furnish informa- tion to, or in any way possible to them to assist, the Officers of other services.

JOHN WM. REED, Master in Command of "Rifleman" and

in charge of China Sea Survey.

No. 124.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 29TH NOVEMBER, 1862. 337

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.

　　　　The following Finding of the Marine Court appointed under Ordinance No. 11 of 1860 to inquire into the loss of the British Barque James Lemon, and which has been confirmed by His Excellency the Acting Governor under the 5th Provision of Section 242 of The Merchant Shipping Act 1854, is published for general information.

By Order,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 27th November, 1862.

W. H. ALEXANDER,

Acting Colonial Secretary.

FINDING.

The Court having carefully considered the evidence given, conclude:

Firstly,-To note that when a Marine Court is necessary it should be held as speedily after the occurrence calling it forth as possible when the circumstances attending it are fresh in the recollection of the witnesses, and when it is probable that the greater number of witnesses will be forthcoming to give evidence.

　　　　Secondly, That the Ship's Log of the James Lemon is dificient in many particulars, which it is desirable should have been noted therein, viz. :

The course and distance made during the twenty-four hours.

The bearing and distances of Shoals or Land at Noon, and the ordinary leakage made by the Ship.

The Court deems it right to express its opinion that Masters of Ships should be particular in directing and observing that the fullest particulars are regularly entered by those having charge of the Log.

Thirdly, The loss of the Barque James Lemon is clearly attributable to the Nor-West currents for which the Master did not make sufficient allowance.

Fourthly, That when the vessel struck the first duty of the Master after furling sails should have been to get an Anchor out on the starboard bow and "hove taut," although the circumstance of this case show that even had this been done the result would not have been changed.

　　　　Fifthly, The James Lemon appears to have been a well-ordered Ship in the fullest sense, and the Ship's Log although wanting in some particulars was faithfully kept.

Sixthly, It is considered that the want of making allowance for the currents arose from error of judgment, and not from neglect. The Court therefore returns to the Master and Chief-Mate their respective Certificates.

To HIS EXCELLENCY

SIR HERCULES GEORGE ROBERT ROBINSON,

Governor of Hongkong.

We, the undersigned, Members of the Legislative Council of Hongkong, beg leave to assure Your Excellency, on the eve your departure for Europe, of the high respect and esteem with which we regard Your Excellency, and of our earnest hope that you may enjoy a safe and pleasant voyage.

　　　　　　In the three years during which Your Excellency has been Governor of Hongkong, the Colony has advanced rapidly in wealth and population-public works of great importance have been commenced and carried on-extensive changes, having for their object the security and welfare of the inhabitants generally, have been made in our laws and institutions--and all these things have been done without pecuniary aid from the Home Government. The Finances of the Colony are in a sound and prosperous condition, notwithstanding the greatly increased expenditure, and the various departments of the Government all work harmoniously together.

　　　　　　　We earnestly hope that Your Excellency will derive renewed health and strength from your temporary sojourn in Europe, and we venture to assure Your Excellency that it will afford us great pleasure, whilst we now wish you "God speed" on your departure, to raeet Your Excellency again in this Council Chamber, tliere to renew those relations which have existed between us for a period of very nearly three years, to the advantage, we trust, of the community of this Island.

The Governor replied in the following terms:

GENTLEMEN OF THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL,

I thank you most sincerely for this expression of your kind feelings upon my approaching departure, and for the gratify- ing assurance you convey to me of your respect and esteem.

　　　　　　　The last three years have indeed, as you observe, been marked by the rapid growth of the Colorv in wealth and population and by a corresponding increase in all the sources of revenue. These altered circumstances have called for, and at the same time supplied the means of carrying out, those public undertakings and measures to which you have referred, and whatever good may result from them I shall attribute it to the advice and assistance I have at all times received from you, and to the action of a united Legislature.

　　　　　　Although for a short time removed from personal intercourse with you I shall continue to watch over your progress with unabated anxiety-fervently praying that the blessing of the Almighty may direct your Councils and prosper your efforts to secure the permanent welfare of the Colony.

The Council then adjourned sine die.

Read and approved this 17th Day of December, 1862.

My Lords desire particularly to impress upon all Officers and Functionaries in the Colonies and Possessions abroad concerned in the conduct of the inquiries above referred to the necessity of a rigid compliance with the requirements in paragraph 6 of the 23d section above referred to, and to point out that unless it is in future shown upon the face of the report of a Court of Inquiry that these requirements have been strictly observed, it will not be in the power of this Board to withhold a certificate that may have been cancelled or suspended abroad, and the intention of the Act will be frustrated, as incom- petent Officers may escape just punishment if there be any informality in the proceed- ings of such Courts.

Referring to the proviso in Section 242 of the Merchant Shipping Act, 1854 (para. 5), it is important that in every case the report of a Court of Inquiry should be confirm- ed by the Governor or person administering the government of the Colony or Possession in which the Inquiry is held.

Reports and evidence should in future, if possible, be sent in original, or if copies, they must be certified.
