ARTICLE XI.

Goods of every kind coming from or going to either of the two countries shall reciprocally be exempted from all transit duty.

The prohibition in regard to gunpowder is, how- ever, maintained; and the two High Contracting Parties reserve to themselves to subject the transit of arms of war to special authorizations.

　　The treatment of the most favoured nation is reciprocally guaranteed to each of the two countries in all that concerns transit and warehousing.

ARTICLE XII.

With regard to the coasting trade, it is agreed between the High Contracting Parties that the subjects and vessels of each of them shall, in the dominions and possessions of the other, enjoy the same privileges, and be treated in all respects on the same footing, as national subjects and vessels. With regard to the coasting trade in the Colonies, the stipulations of the present Article shall be ap- plicable only to the coasting trade of such of the Colonies of Her Britannic Majesty as have applied or shall hereafter apply, in conformity with the Acts of Parliament which govern this matter, that their coasting trade may be open to foreign vessels.

ARTICLE XIII.

The regulations established for goods imported from France into Belgium by Articles XVIII to XXVI inclusive, of the Treaty of Commerce con- cluded between the two countries on the 1st of May, 1861, shall equally apply in Belgium to the same goods imported from Great Britain and its Possessions.

　　With regard to pure or mixed tissues, taxed ad valorem, the valuation of which in the ports may appear to the Belgian Government to present diffi- culties, the Belgian Government reserves to itself the power to designate the Custom-house of Brussels exclusively for the admission of such goods.

ARTICLE XIV.

　　Neither of the two High Contracting Parties shall impose upon goods the produce or manufac- ture of the other party, other or higher duties of importation than such as are or may be imposed upon the same goods the produce of any other foreign country.

C

　　Each of the two Parties engages to extend to the other any favour or privilege, or reduction in the Tariff of duties of importation or exportation, on articles mentioned, or not mentioned, in the present Treaty, which, either of them may grant to any third Power.

Ces objets, en aucun cas, ne paieront de plus forts droits, et ne seront assujettis ? d'autres for- malit?s, que s'ils avaient ?t? import?s sous pavillon national, ou provenaient du pays le plus favoris?.

ARTICLE XI.

Les marchandises de toute nature venant de l'un des deux Etats, ou y allant, seront r?ciproque- ment exemptes, dans l'autre Etat, de tout droit de transit.

Le traitement de la nation la plus favoris?e est r?ciproquement garanti ? chacun des deux pays pour tout ce qui concerne le transit et l'entreposage.

En ce qui concerne le cabotage dans les Colonies, les stipulations du pr?sent Article ne seront ap- plicables qu'au cabotage de celles d'entre les Co- lonies de Sa Majest? Britannique qui ont demand? ou qui demanderont ult?rieurement, conform?ment aux Actes du. Parlement qui r?gissent cette mati?re, que leur cabotage soit ouvert aux navires ?trangers.

ARTICLE XIII.

Les r?gles consacr?es pour les marchandises im- port?es de France en Belgique, par les Articles XVIII ? XXVI inclus, du Trait? de Commerce conclu entre ces deux Etats le 1er Mai, 1861, s'ap- pliqueront ?galement en Belgique aux m?mes mar- chandises import?es de la Grande Bretagne et de ses Possessions.

A l'?gard des tissus purs ou m?lang?s, tax?s ? la valeur, dont l'estimation dans les ports lui para?trait pr?senter des difficult?s, le Gouvernement Belge se r?serve la facult? de d?signer exclusivement la Douane de Bruxelles pour l'admissien de ces mar- chandises.

ARTICLE XIV.

Ni l'une ni l'autre des deux Hautes Parties Con- tractantes n'imposera sur les marchandises prove- nant du sol ou de l'industrie de l'autre partie, d'autres ni de plus forts droits d'importation que ceux qui sont ou seront impos?s sur les m?mes marchandises provenant de tout autre Etat ?tranger.

Chacune des deux Parties s'engage ? faire profiter l'autre de toute faveur, de tout privil?ge, ou abaisse- ment dans les Tarifs des droits ? l'importation ou ? l'exportation des articles mentionn?s ou non dans le present Trait?, que l'une d'elles pourrait accorder ? une tierce Puissance. Elles s'engagent, en cutre, ? n'?tablir l'une envers l'autre aucun droit ou pro- hibition d'importation ou d'exportation, qui ne soit en m?me temps applicable aux autres nations.

Protocol of Conference held at the Foreign Office, July 23, 1862, between the Plenipotentiaries of Great Britain and of Belgium.

　THE Plenipotentiaries of Her Britannic Majesty and of His Majesty the King of the Belgians, in proceeding to the signature of the Treaty of Com- inerce and Navigation between their august So- vereigns, place upon record that they have agreed upon the following points:-

1. That the declarations relative to the arrest of seamen deserters, dated the 4th of January, 1855, and the Order in Council bearing date the 8th of February, 1855, and published in the "Lon- don Gazette," of the 13th of February, shall con- tinue in force and validity, as if they had been inserted in the said Treaty.

2. That although the Fishery Convention con- cluded on the 22nd of March, 1852, between Her Britannic Majesty and His Majesty the King of the Belgians, is provisionally maintained, it is un- der the reservation made by the Government of His Majesty the King of the Belgians, that they will again bring forward, in a future negotiation, the proposition relative to the reciprocal permis- sion to fish within the marine territorial limit.

In maintaining the said Convention concluded on the 22nd of March, 1852, an exception to the stipulations of the Treaty of Commerce and Navi- gation signed this day, is made in so far as regards the advantages which are or may be given in either country to the produce of national fishery.

3. With regard to sugar, the Government of His Majesty the King of the Belgians reserve to themselves to renew their proposition that an agreement should be come to between Great Bri- tain, Belgium, France, the Zollvercin, and the Netherlands, for respectively bringing the duties upon raw and refined sugars imported from any one of those countries into the others to an equality with the taxes imposed upon the same productions of national origin, and for terminating simul- taneously in those five countries the system of bounties on the exportation of sugar.

The Belgian Government rely upon the support and co-operation of the Government of Her Bri- tannic Majesty for this purpose. (Signed) RUSSELL.·

Protocole d'une Conf?rence tenue au Foreign Office le 23 Juillet, 1862, entre les Pl?nipotentiares de la Grande Bretagne et de Belgique.

LES Pl?nipotentiaires de Sa Majest? Britannique et de Sa Majest? le Roi des Belges, en proc?dant ? la signature du Trait? de Commerce et de Na- vigation entre leurs augustes Souverains, constatent qu'ils sont tomb?s d'accord sur les points sui-

vants :-

1. Que les d?clarations relatives ? l'arrestation des marins-d?serteurs dat?es du 4 Janvier, 1855, et l'Ordre en Conseil dat? du 8 F?vrier, 1855, et publi? dans la Gazette de Londres du 13 F?vrier, continueront ? avoir force et valeur, comme s'ils eussent ?t? ins?r?s au dit Trait?.

2. Que, si la Convention de P?che, conclue le 22 Mars, 1852, entre Sa Majest? Britannique et Sa Majest? le Roi des Belges, est provisoirement maintenue, c'est sous la r?serve faite par le Gou- vernement de Sa Majest? le Roi des Belges qu'il reproduira, dans une subs?quente n?gociation, la proposition relative ? la facult? r?ciproque de p?cher dans les limites de la mer territoriale.

Il est fait exception, en maintenant la dite Con- vention conclue le 22 Mars, 1852, aux stipulations du Trait? de Commerce et Navigation conclu anjourd'hui, en ce qui concerne les avantages dont les produits de la p?che nationale sont ou pourront ?tre l'objet dans l'un ou l'autre pays,

3. En ce qui concerne les sucres, le Gouverne- ment de Sa Majest? le Roi des Belges se r?serve de revenir sur la proposition tendante ? ?tablir un accord entre la Grande Bretagne, la Belgique, la France, le Zollverein, et les Pays-Bas, pour ramener respectivement les droits sur les sucres bruts et raffin?s, import?s de l'un de ces Etats dans les autres, au niveau des taxes impos?es aux m?mes produits de fabrication nationale, et pour faire cesser simultan?ment dans ces cinq pays le r?gime des primes ? l'exportation des sucres.

·

Pour atteindre ce but, le Gouvernement Belge compte sur l'appui et le concours du Gouvernement de Sa Majest? Britannique.

May it please your Majesty,

　　We, your Majesty's dutiful and loyal subjects, the Acting Governor and Members of the Legislative Council of the Colony of Hongkong, venture to offer to your Majesty our humble congratulations, on the approaching Marriage between His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales and the Illustrious Princess whom he has chosen from the Royal House of Denmark—a Marriage which has already received your Most Gracious Majesty's approval and ratification.

　　From this remote portion of your Majesty's vast Empire we desire to avail ourselves of the opportunity to renew our assurances of attachment to your Majesty's sacred Person; we pray for every blessing on their Royal Highnesses here and hereafter; and we sincerely trust that the union of the august Pair may be the source of increased domestic comfort and happiness to your Most Gracious Majesty.

The above Address being unanimously adopted by the Council, His Excellency undertook to forward

it to His Grace the Secretary of State for presentation to Her Majesty.

The Council adjourned to Friday, the 6th Proximo, at noon.

Whereas by an Ordinance No. 3 of 1862, intituled "An Ordinance to authorize His Excellency the Governor by Proclamation to prohibit the Exportation of Military Stores and other Articles," it was enacted that it should be lawful for His Excellency the Governor by and with the Advice of the Executive Council by Proclamation to be published in the Hongkong Government Gazette or in any Extraordinary Gazette to prohibit for such period as should be mentioned in such Proclamation either to be exported from the Colony of Hongkong or to be carried Coastwise within the said Colony Arms, Ammunition and Gunpowder, Military and Naval Stores, and any Articles which His Excellency might judge capable of being converted into or made useful in increasing the quantity of Military and Naval Stores, Provisions or any sort of Victual which may be used as food by man or any or either of such Arms, Ammunition, Gunpowder, Stores, Goods, or Articles respectively. And in case any such Arms, Ammunition, Gunpowder, Stores, Goods or Articles which shall have been so prohibited should be exported from the said Colony or should be carried Coastwise or be Waterborne to be so exported or carried they should be forfeited and should vest in Her Majesty and that forthwith thereupon it should be the duty of the Harbour Master of this Colony by Warrant under his Hand upon his own view or upon an information made upon Oath before any Justice of the Peace for the said Colony to cause all such Goods and Articles so thereinbefore declared forfeited to be seized and to detain the same to the use of Her Majesty and to be disposed of as His Excellency the Governor should by order under his Hand and Seal direct;

　　And whereas it has come to my knowledge that Arms, Military and Naval Stores and Articles capable of being converted into Stores and comprised in the enumeration of Articles in the said Ordinance have been exported from this Colony;

　　And whereas I being instructed to put an end to all such exportation from this Colony of Arms, Military and Naval Stores and Articles have determined with the Advice of the Executive Council of this Colony by this Proclamation to prohibit such exportation and carrying Coastwise in manner by the said Ordinance provided;

　　Now therefore I, WILLIAM THOMAS MERCER, Esquire, do by and with the Advice of the Executive Council of this Colony hereby for a period of Twelve Months from the Twenty-eighth day of February, 1863, and for such further period as shall from time to time be specified in any Proclamation to be hereafter duly published, prohibit either to be exported from the Colony of Hongkong or to be carried Coastwise within the said Colony, Arms, Ammunition and Gunpowder, Military and Naval Stores;

And I do with the Advice aforesaid hereby declare that all such proceedings for the suppression .of such several acts as are provided by the said Ordinance or by Law shall and may be taken for the suppression of such exportation and carrying Coastwise and for the forfeiture, seizure and detention and disposition of the same Articles and things and the punishment of Offenders against the said Laws.

No. 27.

　　　　　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, 2nd March, 1863.

W. H. ALEXANDER, Acting Colonial Secretary.

VICTORIA, HONGKONG, 6th February, 1863.

It is my pleasing duty, in drawing up my fourth annual Report on the health of this Colony, to record several important sanitary improvemnents which have been inaugurated during the past year, and to present statistical information of the most satisfactory character. So satisfactory indeed has the health of the Colony been during the past year, that but for the fact of the occurrence of a similar state of matters during each of the three years immediately preceding, it might well be considered exceptional in its character; it is to be hoped that a permanent improvement in the sanitary condition of Hongkong has been the result of the many sanitary reforms that have taken place.

Situated on the very edge of the Tropics it is not to be expected that its sanitary condition can ever be equal to that of a well regulated European town, added to which the continual intercourse with the mainland of China and neighbouring countries where no attention is paid to sanitary regulations, must expose it to epidemics of contagious disease. It is not therefore" remarkable to find cases of Small-pox occurring both in Spring and Autumn, more especially when it is remembered that the Chinese are in the habit of employing inocculation in a most reckless manner and which indeed they prefer to the safer and milder practice of vaccination. Small-pox became a perfect scourge in the North of China last Spring, and at the same time. Cholera was reported as raging at Singapore, Saigon and Manila-in a short time it appeared in Shanghae, and in the towns further North, where it produced great havoc, and ultimately visited Japan. For a time our Colony continued quite free from the disease, although cases were reported as occurring as near us as Macao and Whampoa.

The Government most judiciously appointed a Health Officer to board every vessel arriving in the harbor and at the same- time erected a quarantine station on the small island adjoining Green Island. To this station three vessels infected with Small-pox were ordered.

　　　　　　At most two or three isolated cases of Cholera occurred in the Colony, of which two proved fatal in the Seaman's Hospital. But one of our Institutions, viz: the Gaol, proved an exception to the general immunity, for there an epidemic of the disease in its most malignant form broke out on the 17th of October, continuing for three weeks, during which time 25 cases occurred of which 13 terminated fatally. Singularly enough this epidemic was entirely limited to the Chinese prisoners and occurred principally among the long sentence men. The European prisoners, who were then occupying the new buildings, suffered at the same time from an epidemic of acute Dysentery, which fortunately in no case had a fatal result. Every preparation was made for meeting the disease in an efficient manner had it appeared in an epidemic form in the Town, but there is great reason for thankfulness that no such disastrous result followed, and possibly the great care with which the prevalence of the disease in Gaol was kept a secret beyond its walls had something to do with this result.

It only reinains for me, before entering into details in reference to the various institutions which come officially under my cognizance, to record the appointment of a Committee for sanitary purposes; to the result of its labors and the report it may forward to Government, those interested in the health of this Colony may safely look with confidence.

I. THE POLICE.

This body is remarkable for its extreme healthiness as the following tables will illustrate:

Table I. shews the admissions into and the deaths in the Hospital of Members of the Police Force during every month of 1862.

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 slightly in excess of 1861, but not to such a degree as to call for comment.

　　　　　It is important to record that a second year's experience of the system of monthly examination for the detection of venereal disease has continued to be crowned with success. The numbers so affected being palpably less and more easily treated than was the case in years preceding the adoption of the system.

　　　　　The Force does not appear to be peculiarly liable to any special class of disease, but the number of men taken into Hos- pital either for observation or for feigned diseases is considerable, and it is not always possible to detect the imposture without. submitting the men to a day's observation.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 7TH MARCH, 1863.

II. THE GOVERNMENT CIVIL HOSPITAL.

　　Tables III. and VI. give the classification and result of treatment of the various patients admitted into this Hospital, with the per centage of mortality during the last four years.

Table IV., kindly furnished to me by the Resident Surgeon, Mr. Enscoe, gives similar information in regard to the Seaman's Hospital. The high relative rate of mortality in this Institution cannot but attract attention; it is simple justice to the Surgeon to note that there are many causes bearing greatly against his successful treatment. The principal of these consist in the very inferior character of the building and its appliances as a Hospital, in the reluctance of some Captains to send their men out of the ship until disease has made too great progress, and in some degree to the severity of the accidents occurring on board ship. In the Civil Hospital the result of treatment, as shewn in the tables, has been eminently successful, this success appearing to follow in proportion as the establishment has year by year been made better adapted to the purpose for which it is main- tained. I have great pleasure in recording that the infectious ward and the room for insane patients are rapidly reaching com- pletion, and that water has been brought within the inclosure, and will, I understand, in a very few weeks be introduced into the building itself. There are no points of special interest to be noted in the character of the cases treated; the number is slightly in excess of that of 1861, although the reception of Merchant Seamen belonging to vessels in Harbor has ceased.

III. THE GAOL.

　　Table V. shews the rate of Sickness and Mortality in this establishment. It will be noted that the death rate was as high as 4.65 per cent. to the average number of prisoners, the highest rate since 1858. But if we remember that of the 26 deaths recorded 13 or exactly one-half resulted from Malignant Cholera, the ordinary death rate is at once reduced to 2.32 per cent., a rate much below the average. The appearance of Cholera in the Gaol was inexplicable: that it did not attack the prisoners more generally and that it proved so amenable to treatment in the crowded state of the buildings (which allowed less than 250 cubic feet of air to each prisoner,) is very satisfactory.

IV. THE LOCK HOSPITAL.

　　The results of the Working of Ordinance No. 12 of 1857, by which this Institution was established, are of the most satisfactory character, and already much good has been effected, as I shall endeavour to point out in the following remarks:-

Table VII. is of the most instructive description.

　　I must be permitted to hazard the statement, (the data for arriving at which I have given in former Reports) that of the total sick, in all Hospitals in the East, fully 25 per cent. are afflicted with Venereal desease. It must therefore be a matter of great importance to those who have the care of large bodies of disciplined men, to reduce that per centage to its lowest limit, and to make that class of patients as amenable to treatment as possible-which the Ordinance and periodical examination has enabled us to effect to a great extent in reference to the Police. The severity of the disease will c?teris paribus be as the source from which it has been contracted. The Table conveys the following important information: that during the five years the Ordinance has been in force 1,574 infected women have been segregated from the localities in which they could convey infection and that during a total of 42,270 days, or, to repeat the argument I have several times previously adduced, supposing that every infected woman would only convey the disease to one man during each day she was diseased, we have at least 42,270 cases of disease prevented,-or at all events 42,270 opportunities of conveying disease have been prevented. What can be more satisfactory as a measure of Sanitary Police? The table shews further that the average number of days in which these diseased women have been under treatment has steadily decreased, until in 1862 it was 22.0 only a fraction above the half of 43.8 in 1858, almost the minimum we can expect-which proves that the disease is milder in type and is ar- rested in its earlier stages.

　　So completely satisfied am I of the incalculable benefit that has resulted to the Colony from the Ordinance under discus- sion that I shall be glad te see its provisions extended to both the so called purely Chinese houses, and to that still more fertile source of infection, the boat population.

　　Both Military and Naval Medical Officers concur with me in estimating very highly the advantages of the Ordinance as affecting the health of their men-of which I have received numerous proofs. I shall limit myself in this instance to recording the evidence of only three of those gentlemen.

　　Dr. Home, the present Deputy Inspector and principal Military Medical Officer, who had experience of the Colony prior to the introduction of the Ordinance, writes:

　　"On behalf of the Army Medical Officers stationed here I have pleasure in expressing to you the great advantage we "have derived from the excellent Sanitary arrangements in force in regard to Prostitution.

　　"Venereal disease from being but a few years ago one of the most common causes of unfitness for duty here has "become of comparatively rare occurrence.”

now

Dr. Sexton, Assistant Surgeon of H. M.'s 5th Bombay Light Infantry made the following statement last May:

Among 427 men, the total strength of the detachment at present quartered at Hongkong, only 4 cases of Venereal "disease have occurred during the months of March and April, 1862; that is to say at the rate of two cases or 0.5 per cent "per

month.

(C

"No less remarkable is the mild form under which the disease presents itself: that it has become extremely amenable to treatment is best evidensed by the fact that the average number of days under treatment of each case only amounted to 8.5: a result almost unprecedented in the statistical history of this disease."

　　Dr. Dixson who was Surgeon of H. M.'s S. Chesapeake when carrying the Flag of Admiral Sir James Hope, and who had many opportunities of judging of the Working of the Ordinance, more than confirmed the above Statements, as far as his own men were concerned.

　　Table VIII. gives fuller details as to the character of the diseases and their average duration during every month of the year 1862.

　　Table IX. is an approximative estimate of the Mortality among Foreign Residents in Hongkong during the last five years. The number of Residents is furnished to me by the Registrar General and the deaths are estimated by the number of burials in the two Cemeteries, excluding in both cases Military, and Naval and Merchant Seamen, as well as burials from the Hospitals.* If the data are correct Hongkong may boast of a better climate than it has credit for-but it must not be forgotten that the majority of Foreigners do not remain in Hongkong to die, but leave as soon as any serious disease attacks them, if their condition will at all permit of them doing so.

Table X. gives the usual information as to the work performed by the Inspector of Nuisances attached to this Department. Table XI. shews the Annual Mean state of the Atmosphere during the year 1862 as recorded at the Government Civil Hospital.

J. I. MURRAY, M.D., Colonial Surgeon.

* Note.-The Military and Seaman's Hospital are necessarily excluded-the Civil Hospital has also been excluded in the calculation as very few of its patients come under the designation of Residents.

Complaints having been frequently made by the Naval Agents in charge of H.M.'s Mails of delay incurred in the delivery of the Mail boxes from the Steamers in consequence of Persons rushing on board and barring the gangway, His Excellency the Acting Governor has ordered that a Police boat shall in future attend on every Mail Steamer, to prevent the Public from going on board by one of the gangways until the Mail boxes are delivered.

　　　　　The Superintendent of the P. & O. S. N. Company has directed that the Port Gangway of the Mail Steamers shall always be used for the above purpose, and it is therefore notified that, with the exception of the Mail Boats, those of the Royal Navy and House Boats of the P. & O. Company, no other Boats will be permitted to haul alongside this gangway, till the Mails are cleared. The Com- manders of the Steamers have at the same time received instructions to lower their Starboard ladder as soon as possible for the convenience of persons wishing to go on board.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 14TH MARCH, 1863.

-

HONGKONG, 11th February, 1863.

1. The Board of Education beg leave to present to Your Excellency the following Annual Report of the state of the Government Free Day Schools in the Island of Hongkong.

　　2. The opportune arrival of Frederick Stewart, Esquire, M.A., immediately after the presentation of their last Annual Report enabled the Board to take early measures for carrying out the scheme recommended by them in the year 1861. That scheme, in addition to the previously existing general superintendence of all the Schoo's by an English Inspector, embraced also the twofold object of establishing a Central School in Victoria under an English Head Master in place of some three or four smaller Schools in its neighbourhood; and of introducing into the Central School thus constituted a higher order of instruction in the English language.

3. Mr. Stewart's attention has been mainly directed to English instruction in the Central School, and to visits of Super- intendence to the other Schools in the City and the outlying Villages. He has also given a large portion of his time to the study of the Chinese language as a necessary pre-requisite to the due fulfilment of his office. The manner in which he has discharged his duties has given great satisfaction to the Board, and has fully justified the favorable judgment of their Right Reverend Chairman in selecting him for the appointment.

4. The number of Schools under the supervision of the Board amounted in the beginning of 1862 to twenty; which number has been reduced to sixteen by the absorption of the Taipingshan, Sh?ong-wan and Chungwan Schools into the Central School, and the abolition of a School in the Village of Tytam-took.

5. The number of Scholars enrolled in the School-registers amounts to a total of 889, including 34 female Scholars in the Girls' School in Sheong-wan. From this total a considerable deduction must be made as to the number of actual attendants. in the Schools through the irregularity of the Scholars.

　　6. With respect to the generality of Village Schools, the Board regret that it is not in their power to report any just and adequate appreciation by the people of the benevolent efforts of the local Government in placing the means of an ordinary Chinese education within their reach. The prevailing poverty of the parents, chictly engaged in fishing and agricultural pursuits, and the consequent necessity of employing their children at an early age in labour for their subsistence, operate as a serious difficulty against securing a regular attendance. The low moral principle and careless indolence perceptible in most of the native School-masters, the existence of local intrigues and jealousies,-and the difficulty of Mr. Stewart amid his other duties in the Central School exercising an effective superintendence over the Schools in the more remote parts of the island,- have also formed a great disadvantage in giving due effect to the measures of the Board.

　　7. The highly efficient condition of the Schools at West Point and Tanglungchow is sufficient to show the large number of Scholars and the satisfactory educational results which may be expected from the employment of competent Chinese School- masters and a regular system of visits from the English Superintendent.

8. These various considerations have therefore convinced the Board of the expediency of discontinuing for the present the Government Schools in the Villages of Saiwan, Showkewan, Shek-'0 and Little Hongkong; and of employing the pecuniary means thus placed at their disposal in giving increased efficiency to the Schools in Victoria and its immediate vicinity, thus leaving only the two large and populous Villages of Stanley and Aberdeen among the distant stations with their present School- establishment untouched.

　　9. With this object in view they would consider it a desirable arrangement that the existing School-houses in the four above-named smaller Villages be handed over, under certain conditions, free of rent to the inhabitants, and that the Villagers themselves be left at liberty (if so disposed) to elect and support their own School-masters. They are led to suppose that the villagers may learn to set a higher value on the advantages of an education for which they have to make a payment; and that a greater dependence of the master upon the favourable estimate of the people may excite greater exertions to promote the im- provement of his pupils.

10. The existence of three Hakha and two Punte Schools supported by the payments of pupils and apparently in a tolera- bly thriving condition, in close vicinity to the Government School in Showkewan, which, although free of all charge, is nearly destitute of Scholars, suggests grounds of expectation that the principle of self-support may in some Villages be made the subject of hopeful experiment.

　　11. A measure upon which the Board would lay great stress is that of rendering the situation of Government School- masters one of greater attraction to competent Chinese Scholars. With this view they would be glad to possess the means of giving increased stipends and holding out the prospect of further advancement to well-conducted and efficient native teachers.

　　12. The Board anticipate advantage in this point of view from their recently-adopted special minute establishing a grada- tion of rank and pay among the Chinese School-masters. Their minute comprised also the introduction of a system of primary and secondary examinations in Chinese regulating the admission of pupils into the Chinese and English departments respectively of the Central School.

　　13. In the prospect of enlarging the means of education in the Central School and extending to a larger proportion of Chinese youths the eagerly-sought advantages of English instruction, the Board would again beg to call the attention of Your Excellency to the overtasked energies of the Headmaster, and the necessity of engaging as soon as possible the services of an Assistant-master from England. Native teachers labour under great disadvantages through their defective pronunciation of English words and their universal ignorance of method or system in the management of classes. By relieving Mr. Stewart of the unfruitful work of distant visits to the Village Schools now proposed to be discontinued, they hope not only to leave him more at liberty for superintending the Schools within easy reach, but also to enable him to give a more undivided amount of his valuable labour and time to the duties of the Central School.

　　In order to secure a greater efficiency in the working of the English department of the Central School the Board have to rely mainly on the adoption of their recommendation for securing the services of a second English master.

On behalf of the Board,

To His Excellency W. T. MERCER, Esquire,

Acting Governor of Hongkong.

Complaints having been frequently made by the Naval Agents in charge of H.

The Com- manders of the Steamers have at the same time received instructions to lower their Starboard ladder as soon as possible for the convenience of persons wishing to go on board.

　　　　　　The following Order of Her Majesty in Council, for the purpose of allowing the Distilling Apparatus of Mr. GRAVELEY, as well as that of Dr. NORMANDY, to be used on board Passenger Ships, is published for general inforination, by direction of His Grace the Secretary of State for the Colonies.

By Order,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 26th March, 1863.

W. H. ALEXANDER, Acting Colonial Secretary.

AT THE COURT AT OSBORNE HOUSE, ISLE OF WIGHT, THE 9TH DAY OF JANUARY, 1863.

PRESENT,

The QUEEN's Most Excellent Majesty in Council.

Whereas by "the Passengers Act, 1855," it is amongst other things enacted, that before any passenger ship shall be cleared out, the emigration officer at the port of clearance shall satisfy himself that there is on board a sufficient quantity of pure water, carried in tanks or casks, to secure throughout the intended voyage the issue of three quarts daily to each statute adult, for the use of the passengers, exclusive of the quantity required for cooking.

　　　　　　And whereas it is also enacted, that it shall be lawful for Her Majesty, by any Order in Council, to prescribe such rules and regulations as to Her Majesty may seem fit, for permitting the use on board passenger ships of an apparatus for distilling water, and for defining, in such case, the quantity of fresh water to be carried in tanks or casks for the passengers, and such Order in Council from time to time to alter, amend, and revoke, as occasion may require.

　　　　　　　And whereas Her Majesty, by Orders in Council, dated, respectively, the sixth day of May, one thousand eight hundred and fifty-seven, and the thirteenth day of May, one thousand eight hundred and fifty-nine, prescribed certain rules for per- mitting the use on board passenger ships propelled by steam engines of a certain power, and on board passenger ships propelled by sails, of a certain apparatus for distilling fresh water from salt water.

And whereas it is expedient to repeal the said Order in Council that relates to passenger ships propelled by sails, and to issue in lieu thereof the Order hereinafter contained.

　　　　　　Now, therefore, Her Majesty doth, by, and with the advice of Her Privy Council, and in pursuance and in exercise of the authority vested in Her by the said "Passengers Act, 1855," hereby repeal the said Order in Council of the thirteenth day of May, one thousand eight hundred and fifty-nine, and order as follows:-

Any passenger ship propelled by sails only, or by steam engines of less power than is sufficient, without the aid of sails, to propel the ship at the rate of five statute miles an hour may be cleared out and proceed on her voyage, having on board, in tanks or casks, only half the quantity of pure water required by the said Act to be carried for the use of the passengers, pro- vided the following conditions be observed; that is to say:

1. That there be on board such ship an efficient apparatus for distilling fresh water from salt water, of the description commonly known either as Normandy's Patent or Winchester and Graveley's Patent.

　　　　　　2. That the owners, charterers, or master of such ship, before clearance, lodge with such emigration officer a certificate from the engineer or surveyor of the Board of Trade, or from some other competent person to be named by such emigration officer, declaring that within seven days immediately preceding the date of such certificate, the apparatus has been examined by him and is then in good working condition, and stating the number of imperial gallons of pure fresh water which it is capable of producing in every twenty-four hours, and further, declaring that the apparatus on board is either Normandy's or Winchester and Graveley's Patent, as the case may be.

3. That in every case such emigration officer shall be satisfied that the number of gallons of pure water which the apparatus is so certified to be capable of producing, is not less than the whole number of persons about to proceed on the intended voyage of such ship,--that is to say, the whole number of cabin-passengers, passengers, and crew.

　　　　　　4. That there is rated on the ship's articles, and that there is on board the ship, some person or persons who, to the satis- faction of the said emigration officer, shall be competent for the proper management and repair of such distilling apparatus.

And, to prevent all doubts on the construction of this Order in Council, it is hereby further ordered, that the terms passenger ship," "emigration officer," "statute adult," and "master," shall herein have the same significations as are assigned to them respectively in the said "Passengers Act, 1855."

And the most Noble the Duke of Newcastle, one of Her Majesty's Principal Secretaries of State, is to give the necessary directions herein accordingly.

LE BARON DE SCHRENK.

His Majesty the King of Bavaria, Count Palatine of the Rhine, Duke of Bavaria, of Franconia, and in Suabia, &c., having learnt that, according to the laws in force in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, and in the British colonies and possessions, no duty whatever is collected on the exportation and transfer of inheritances and other property be- longing to Bavarian subjects, the undersigned Minister of State for the Department of the Royal House and for Foreign Affairs, declares by these presents, in the name of His Majesty's Government, that no deduction shall henceforth be made under the title of droit d'aubaine ou de d?traction, upon inheritances and other property in Bavaria belonging to subjects of Her Britannic Majesty, whether in the United Kingdom or in the British colonies and possessions; and that the abolition of such duties in favour of those subjects shall have its full and entire effect, not only in all future cases, so long as the laws shall not be changed in this respect in the United Kingdom and in the British colonies and possessions, but also in all those cases in which, up to the date of the signature of the present Act, the duties thus abolished shall not have been actually and definitely collected.

　　In witness whereof this Declaration, destined to be substituted for the Declaration of the 10th of April, 1836, and to be exchanged against a similar Declaration on the part of the Government of Her Britannic Majesty, securing perfect recipro- city to Bavarian subjects, has been delivered by the undersigned Minister of State, and sealed with the seal of his arms.

W. H. ALEXANDER, Acting Colonial Secretary.

FREMANTLE, WESTERN AUSTRALIA, 24th January, 1862.

　　　　　　SIR, I have learned from what I believe to be good authority, that the timber which has been used in the construction of the Civil and Military Public Buildings at Hongkong, Shanghae, and probably at the other settlements in China, has suffered and continues to suffer so much both from the ravages of the "White ant" and from the moisture of the climate, as to stand in continual need of renewal and repair.

I

am induced to address you on this subject, as a Tree peculiar to this Colony called the "Jarra" yields a timber which experience has proved to be equally proof against the attacks of the "White ant" and the "Teredo navalis" and exposure to water or damp air.

　　　　　The Copy of Report, from the Royal Engineers Office in this Town, which accompanies this letter, will be considered I trust as sufficient confirmation of this statement.

Should Her Majesty's Government in China require any of this timber and will be pleased to inform me what price they would be prepared to pay for each Load of 50 feet, free on board a Vessel on this Coast, during the months of September to April inclusive the parties whom I represent will be prepared, should that price be an adequate one, to enter into a contract to supply such timber. The timber is of large size and supply unlimited. Vessels can but seidom be chartered from hence, but apprehend that it would not be difficult to engage a Vessel about to proceed from China to Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, or Hobarton at the proper season of the year, as above stated, to call upon this Coast to convey timber to China.

I shall be obliged if you will after due consideration favor me with a reply.—I have the honor to be, Sir, your very

obedient servant,

ROBT. KING, Agent for Vice-Admiral Sir Jas, Stirling.

NOTE a. This specimen was loaded at intervals during 15 days, 4 cwts. being added at each increase, it remained loaded six days, when the stay which prevented it from twisting broke and the jerk broke the specimen. b.-This load was applied at intervals during two days, and remained loaded four days, when it broke with a fracture 3 feet long. c.--This specimen was loaded at intervals during ten days, when it broke with a compound fracture 5 feet long.

,,

The remaining specimens were loaded at once, one hundred weight being added at a time until the result was produced the fracture varying from 6 to 4 fect. The top line in this Table is the weight in Hundred weights and the figures below them in the same column shew the deflection in inches and sixteenths of inches of the several specimens at the respective weights, the last register of deflection being the breaking weight. COLUMN A gives the breaking weight of "Red Pine" (from Lea's Timber Tables) of the same scantling as the specimens of “Jarra.”

??

,,

B gives the deflection of "Red Pine" at one fourth of the breaking weight from the same authority.

C gives the breaking weight of " Red Pine" per square inch in section of these scantlings severally.

D gives the deflection of "Jarra" at one fourth of its breaking weight.

E gives the breaking weight of "Jarra" per square inch in section of the mean of these specimens.

The mean of eight specimens of 9,× 24 gives 57.25 cwts. as the breaking weight and two and a half inches as the actual deflection from the full load and .625 as the deflection loaded with one fourth of its breaking weight, Red Pine being 67.48 cwt. breaking weight and 421 deflection, shewing that "Jarra" is to "Red Pine" as 11 to 13 in this scantling. The mean of eight specimens of 5" x 2" gives 11.562 cwt. as the breaking weight and 4 inches as the actual deflection from the full load and 1.47 inches as the deflection loaded with one fourth of its breaking weight. "Red Pine" being 16.64 cwt. breaking weight and .757 inches deflection, showing that "Jarra" is to "Red Pine" as 23 to 33 in this scantling. The above specimens are not picked for their superior quality, but taken at random from a pile of sawn timber and being of fair average quality such as would be passed in general work as good timber, may therefore be taken as a fair standard for general purposes in practice. Of course these specimens would bear double the reported load for breaking weight if the load were uniformly distributed over the whole length of the specimen one fourth of the breaking weight being the load allowed in practice by common consent of most practical Engineers on the subject.

REMARK-From the above results it is evident that "Jarra" is inferior to "Red Pine" in transverse strength, but it is superior for many purposes as being proof against the attacks of the White Ant so common in tropical climates and destructive to almost every kind of wood work. It also resists the Teredo Navalis or Sea Worm and being very durable both in and out of water and not affected at the water's edge or between wind and water to the same extent as other timber in general use, it is therefore invaluable for all kinds of Wharfing and Waterworks.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　COLONIAL SECRETARY'S OFFICE, HONGKONG, 10th June, 1862. SIR,I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 24th January, 1862, relative to the qualities of the Jarra timber.

In reply I have to state for your information that the best Teak timber is sold here at $1.25 or 5/23 to $1.50, or 6/3 per Cubic Foot, and Manila Hard Wood which is nearly as durable as Teak sells at 95 cents or 3/111?2 per Cubic Foot.

　　　　　　I would therefore suggest that you should ascertain whether the Jarra timber could be laid down here at a similar price, as otherwise it is not likely to supersede the Woods above mentioned.--I have the honor to be, Sir, your very obedient Servant,

　　　　　　　SIR,—I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 10th June, 1862, and to thank you for the valu- able information afforded as to the present prices of Teak and other Timbers at Hongkong.

　　　　　　In compliance with your suggestion I beg herewith to hand you the enclosed Memo: of approximate prices at which the Jarra Timber could be put alongside Ship in this Colony to which add Freight, say, at ?4 per load, and you will perceive. that it would then be, in price below those quoted for Teak and Manilla Hard Wood.

　　　　　　I have taken advantage of the Ship West Australian sailing hence for Shanghae to forward per that Vessel, for your inspection, under Bill of Lading to your address, two pieces of this Timber-in consequence of not being able to get the Cap- tain's signature until after this mail leaves I am prevented enclosing one of the Bills to you. As the Ship, which sails in two or three days, is not likely to reach China until some time after the Mail your order to any person at Shanghae will be attended to in the delivery of these samples.

　　　　　　If you think it probable that the Jarra may be introduced with advantage at Hongkong and have any further communi- cations to make I beg to say that I shall be happy to afford you any information in my power. Meantime I have forwarded to my friends in London, Messrs. F. Mangles & Co. copies of this Correspondence.-I have the honor to be, Sir, your obedient

ON THE OBSERVATION AND COLLECTION OF AEROLITES.

　　　　　　　There are two varieties of A?rolites, or Meteorites, that have been seen to fall from space. The one consists of stony masses, often containing particles of iron; and of these many have been observed in their fall: the other variety is composed, for the most part, of iron. The actual fall of iron aerolites has been but rarely witnessed, though many masses of metallic iron have been found on the earth's surface, of the meteoric origin of which there can be no doubt.

It is a matter of great interest, and of importance to science, that as many is possible of these bodies should be col- leted for comparison, and that all the circumstances accompanying their fall be carefully recorded; and, persons who, in the "fire ball" being seen, or of a mass having fallen, in their neighbourhood, will carefully collect facts regarding em, may make a very valuable contribution to science,

event of a

110

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 18TH APRIL, 1863.

For this purpose, inquiries should be instituted at once, into the circumstances accompanying the fall of any meteoric mass, and into the state of any such mass when it has fallen; and as regards any meteoric appearance in the sky, it will be found advisable, after noting carefully the point in the heavens at which the meteor made its appearance, to give, as accurately as possible (see Note), the direction of its track and the point at which it disappeared.

Where it is possible this track should be delineated on a diagram, as explained in the note.

The points to which especial attention is invited are enumerated in the following two series of inquiries.

The first series relates to meteoric phenomena in the heavens, and their association with the fall of a?rolitic matter to the earth.

1. Note the exact position of the observer, according to latitude and longitude.

2. Give the hour, day of month, and year.

3. Give the apparent size of the luminous ball, as compared with the full moon.

4. Its shape; whether round, pear-shaped, or otherwise; and, if elongated, in what direction.

5. It is particularly important to note the place where the meteor is first seen (as at A, see Note) like a star, and from which, as it moves, it may appear to be increasing in size.

6. State the duration of the phenomena; and,

7. Whether the ball again dwindles away to the semblance of a star, and then disappears, or whether it retains to the last its full size, or then, as is often the case, divides into several balls or stars.

8. Give the colours.

9. Record any facts that can be gathered concerning detonations or noises, accompanying the other phenomena. 10. Endeavour to collect statements relating to the actual fall to the earth of any

solid bodies.

11. Do they consist of stone, or iron, and is there anything peculiar in their structure?

　　12. Was the body red-hot, or warm, or did it exhibit evidence of having been warm outside and cold within? as, for instance, by being hot at first and intensely cold afterwards?

　　13. It is desirable, further, to notice the depth to which, and the direction in which, the a?rolite has penetrated the earth; also to state the nature of the soil, the effect produced on it by the a?rolitic mass, and the position in which the a?rolite was found to be lying in the ground.

The second series of inquiries has for its object the acquisition of a more precise knowledge regarding the aerolites themselves. For this, it is important to preserve, and to collect, for the purposes of analysis and of scientific comparison, as many of these bodies as possible; and the following suggestions are offered in the hope of promoting this object.

1. Endeavour to get the meteorolites as soon as possible after their fall, to prevent them from being injured, fractured, or wetted.

2. If not entire, try to procure fragments.

3. Should persons or museums not be willing to part with them for the British Museum, then procure drawings, photographs, models, or casts; accompanied by an accurate description of their colour, their external lustre, and, if broken, the nature of the substance or substances exhibited by the fracture; and especially be careful to describe the form of the a?rolitic mass, whether angular or rounded, whether prismatic, or otherwise exhibiting an approximation to any geometrical figure. Also, state whether its surface be smooth, or marked by any peculiar kind of roughness, or pitted with hollows.

　　　4. Catalogues of the meteorites in local museums are very desirable, with statements of their weights, and also the time of, and other facts accompanying, their fall, as detailed above.

5. From masses of iron or stone still lying on the earth, and too large to be brought away, detach specimens of good size, say from 20 lbs. to 50 lbs. weight, and collect all obtainable information, with detailed descriptions, drawings, measure- ments, historical accounts, &c.

6. Iron meteorites should always be cut with a steel saw and emery.

The Collection of A?rolites in the Mineral Department of the British Museum is now, as regards the mass and size of the specimens, the finest in the world, and any person who may be in a position to contribute additional specimens is re- quested to accompany them with an attestation as to the weight of the specimen, and facts regarding it such as the senders may

　　be in a position to state on their own authority, or as may have come to them on authority which they have reason to accept as reliable.

NEVIL STORY-MASKELYNE.

NOTE. The delineation of the track of the meteor on paper is very desirable as presenting greater accuracy than a merely verbal description. A practical and simple method of doing this consists in noting down the tracks of meteors, or "fire balls," upon a projection, like the diagram, of a hemiorama, taken from the place of the observer, noting the altitudes and the azimuths corresponding to meridians and parallels of latitude. The accompanying sketch expresses that
