   Letters from Naval Officers addressed to the United Kingdom are entitled to be forwarded at the reduced charge of 6d the half ounce via Southampton and 10d. the half ounce vi? Marseilles only when the same are posted here in the Ship's letter bag, and when they are brought to this Office otherwise they are treated as ordinary letters from the Public and charged accordingly.

At the request of the Government of the Cape of Good Hope, the following Notice, announcing the establishment of a light on Robben Island, and certain alterations in the Lights on Green Point and Mouille Point; as also the erection of a new Beacon in False Bay, is published for general information. By Order,

W. T. MERCER, Colonial Secretary.

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 16th January, 1865.

GOVERNMENT NOTICE.-No. 299, 1864.

                      Colonial Office, Cape of Good Hope, 19th September, 1864. His Excellency the Governor has directed the publication of the following Notice relative to certain projected alterations in the Lights in Table Bay, and the erection of a new Beacon in False Bay.

By command of His Excellency the Governor,

NOTICE

NOTICE TO MARINERS.

TABLE BAY NEW LIGHTS AND FALSE BAY BEACON.

Robben Island Light.

R. SOUTHEY. Colonial Secretary.

    A Light-house has been erected on the Southernmost (and highest) hill of Robben Island, Minto Hill, at an elevation of 154 feet above the sea, a light from which will be exhibited on the 1st of January, 1865.

The Light-house is in Latitude 33 48′ 52" S., Longitude 18° 22′ 33′′ E.

The building is a cylindrical shaft, 60 feet high, painted in horizontal Red and White bands, exhibiting a White fixed light of the 1st order, dioptric. It is visible all round the horizon, and can be seen from a ship in clear weather 19 or 20 miles. Changes in the Green and Mouille Point Lights.

The two fixed lights in the Green Point square tower will be abandoned on the above date, and a White light of the 3rd order dioptric, flashing at intervals of 10 seconds, substituted. It is 65 feet above the sea, and can be seen in clear weather from a ship 13 miles.

Mouille Light.

    The old pyramidal building which carried this light will be demolished, and replaced by a cylindrical shaft 30 feet high, painted in alternate Black and White bends, and carrying a Red light of the 4th order dioptric. It stands at an elevation of 44 feet above the sea, and can be seen about 10 miles in clear weather.

Sailing Directions.

Ships bound for Table Bay from the southward should not shut in the Cape Point light with the land at Slangkop Point until the Robben Island light--which will be seen before the one on Green Point-bears N.E. 3 E., when they may steer for it; and when the Green Point light bears east, an E.N.E. course may be followed until the red light on Mouille Point comes open to the northward of Green Point light, bearing S.E. by S. This course will lead clear of the Vulcan Rock and the reefs that lie to the northward of it. The course may now be altered to S. E. by E. & E., which will carry them one mile outside Mouille Point, and within this distance no stranger should round the point at night When the Mouille light bears S.S.W. a S. by E. course for the anchorage may be shaped, anchoring as soon as the Green Point light is shut in with the hillocks near Mouille Point, or with Mouille Point light bearing N.W. about one mile off, in from 6 to 8 fathonis. Small vessels may steer S. by E. E. for the anchorage in 4 or 5 fathoms, and anchor with the Mouille light bearing about N.W. by N.

   Ships bound to Table Bay from the northward must not take too great liberty with Robben Island on account of its light, for the Island is low, and the dangerous Whale Rock lies S. 17 W., only 1,5 mile from the Light-house and of a mile from the nearest point of the Island.

10

Having sighted the Robben Island light, a ship should haul to the S.W., if the light bear anything to the westward of th, until the flashing light on Green Point bears S. by E. or S.S.E., when she may steer for it until Robben Island light bears N.E., when she may steer S.E. by E.; and when Mouille Light bears S.S. W. steer, as before directed, for the anchorage. With the light upon Robben Island and the Green Point or Morille Point light, a vessel may readily determine her Position by cross bearings; but the safest and easiest plan to adopt is, whislt the Green and Monille lights are open of each other, to fack when the Robben Island light bears N. by W. W., and when they approach each other and become in line, to tack when the Robben Island light bears A. by W. This will prevent accidents from the lowness of the Baumwberg beach and its deceptive appearance at night. Little, if anything, can be lost in thus beating in by giving up the smooth water near the shore, as the constant northerly current that sets out between Robben Island and the main land more than destroys the seem-

ing advantage; added to which, the wind blows with greater violence from the S.E. on the east side of the bay than it does more to the westward, though not in such sudden and violent gusts.*

New Beacon for the Whittle Rock, False Bay.

A Beacon has been erected on a large flat-topped rock near Oatlands Point, which will, in conjunction with the beacon that now stands on the shoulder of the hill beneath Simon's Berg, point out the position of the Whittle Rock. The rock on which the beacon stands lies a few yards from the shore and 0.85 miles from the Shoulder Beacon. When on the Whittle Rock the two beacons will be in a line, and also in line with a large patch of whitewashed rocks on the hill northward of Simon's Town, bearing N.N.W. 3 W. The shoulder beacon is white, with a staff and ball. The Oatlands Point beacon is triangular, 35 feet high, and painted white with a red band in the centre.

The advantage of this beacon is that it points out to ships from the westward that they are clear of the. Whittle Rock whilst it is kept open to the eastward of the Shoulder Beacon. This was somewhat difficult with the patch of whitewashed rocks behind Simon's Town for a mark, as vessels were obliged to run far to the eastward before the patch opened out clear of the shoulder of Simon's Berg hill.

      Vessels from the eastward will still find the white patch of rocks serviceable for pointing out the position of the Whittle Rock.

F. SKEAD, Master R.N., Admiralty Surveyor.

13th July, 1864.

       * Vessels entering Table Bay during the day when blowing hard from S.F. after passing the Mouille Point, may, with great advantage, anchor in 10 or 12 fathoms, where they will be in a good position for dropping into the inner anchorage on the following morning, as the wind invariably falls light during the night' although the S.E. may continue to blow hard on the East side of the Bay. By observing this rule, more particularly in ships of large tonnage, a great deal of anxiety and risk in wearing ship, when missing stays, will be avoided, and less casualties occur from loss of anchors and cables when endeavouring to bring up on

the Eastern shore.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 28TM? JANUARY, 1865.

BRITISH CONSULATE, BANGKOK, January 5th, 1865. SIR, I have the honour to inform you that the Siamese Minister for Foreign Affairs has informed me that the export of Rice from this country will be prohibited from the 25th of January until the 21st of August, 1865.

Vessels that have been chartered before the publication of the Proclamation in Singapore and Hongkong will be allowed to load.

     This step has been taken on account of the smallness of the crop which, from the paucity of rain that has fallen during the last ten months, will not be half an average one.

     I have made no objections to this prohibition because I am aware that there is a great scarcity of Rice, and as the neighbouring countries are in similar or even worse condition unless some step of this sort was taken, the results, to a country in the state of civilization which Siam now is, might be very serious.-I have the honour to be, Sir, Your most obedient humble Servant,

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 4TH FEBRUARY, 1865.

The Bill having gone through Committee, the Governor put the Question-That this Bill do pass, and that the Title be-“An Ordinance to facilitate the Remedies on Bills of Exchange and Promissory Notes by the Prevention of frivolous or fictitious Defences to Actions thereon."

Question put and carried,--the Ordinance being numbered "No. 12 of 1864."

The Bill to amend the Laws of Trade and Commerce was read a second time; And the Council went into Committee upon the said Bill.

The Bill having gone through Committee, the Governor put the Question-That this Bill do pass, and

that the Title be—“An Ordinance to amend the Laws of Trade and Commerce.”

Question put and carried,--the Ordinance being numbered "No. 13 of 1864."

Consideration was given to the Correspondence which had been ordered at the last Mecting to be circulated amongst Members, respecting the Grant of a Pension to the Bishop of Victoria from Colonial Funds; and after discussion, the majority of the Council--the Colonial Treasurer and the Acting Chief Justice dissenting,-agreed to the following Resolutions:

The Council is willing, in consideration of the Colonial Services performed by the Bishop of Victoria without remuneration for several years, to entertain His Lordship's application for a retiring allowance, as an exceptional measure, and to award him a Pension of ?300 per annum from Colonial funds to commence from the date of his retirement.

The Council considers that the principle embodied in the 17th Section of the Hongkong Pension Minute should be applied to any Pension allowed to the Bishop of Victoria from Colonial Funds, and that such Pension should cease if he were to obtain Church preferment elsewhere to an equivalent amount--or if to a less amount his Pension should bear a proportionate

reduction.

The Council would wish also to place on record its opinion that the Bishop of Victoria has no real claim to a Colonial Pension, and that any future Incumbent of the office should be made to understand that the Grant to Bishop Smith is not in any way to be considered as establishing a precedent.

The Council adjourned sine die.

Read and approved, this 2nd Day of February, 1865.

XXV. It shall be lawful for the Court at any time [during the progress of the Trial] to amend the Indictment or Information in any matter of Forin or Substance, the omis sion or insertion of which, as the case may be, has not, in the opinion of the Court, prejudiced [or is calculated to prejudice] the Prisoner in his Defence.

XXVIII. If a Witness, upon Cross-examination as to a former Statement made by tory Statements of ad-him relative to the subject matter of the Cause, and inconsistent with his present Testimony, does not distinctly admit that he has made such Statement, Proof may be given that he did in fact make it; but before such Proof can be given, the circumstances of the supposed Statement, sufficient to designate the particular occasion, must be mentioned to the Witness, and he must be asked whether or not he has made such Statement.

XXIX. A Witness may be cross-examined as to previous Statements made by him as to previous State-in writing or reduced into writing, relative to the subject matter of the Cause, without such writing being shown to him; but if it is intended to contradict such Witness by the writing, his attention must, before such contradictory Proof can be given, be called to those parts of the writing which are to be used for the purpose of so contradicting him: Provided always, that it shall be competent for the Court, at any time during the Trial, to require the production of the Writing for its inspection, and the said Court may thereupon make such use of it, for the purposes of the Trial, as it shall think fit.

HARBOR MASTER'S OFFICE, HONGKONG, 31st January, 1865. SIR,- herewith have the honor to submit for His Excellency's inspection the annual Returns of shipping &c., for this Colony for the year ending 31st December 1864.

The welfare of the Colony is so bound up with its shipping that it will be gratifying to Her Majesty's Government and His Excellency to find that much as the Trade had increased up to 31st December, 1863, (date of last returns) to how much greater an extent do the returns for the last year shew that prosperity to have steadily advanced, the entries at this Port for the years 1863 and 1864 shew 894,924 and 1,013,748 Tons respectively or an increase of 118,824 of which 77,037 Tons are British.

The Trade under the American Flag has fallen off very considerably, the returns for 1860 shewing 231,834 Tons against 56,164 Tons for 1864.--Entries from the United States for last year amount to 46,679 Tons and clearances to 30,712 Tons bat these Cargoes are conveyed principally in Foreign bottoms, the tonnage under the French and German Flags shews a large addition.

Sheets of Export and Imports remain blank from inability (through absence of a Custom House) to keep those returns. Forty four Vessels have been added to the Register Book for this Colony during the year, while thirteen have been struck off.

      The Emigration hence shews a slight decrease.-The Head Quarters for the Government Emigration to the West Indies having been transferred hence to Canton, to some extent, accounts for this--the return Emigrants from various ports are 6,778 in number bringing gold to the amount of ?159,758 Sterling and 1,181,200 dollars.

      The cases tried at the Marine Magistrate's Court are 80 in excess of those of last year, this is to be attributed to the increased number of ships in Port, none of the cases were of a serious nature.

The number of men shipped during the year is 9032 being an increase of 166.

Under Ordinance No. 17 of 1860,-78 Masters and Mates have passed examinations before the Boards established under that Ordinance, other 28 presented themselves but were rejected as being incompetent, this is of itself sufficient evidence that this Ordinance with the compulsory clause 5 of Ordinance No. 1 of 1862,—are productive of good, as most of the applications come from men anxious to obtain employment in China it follows that but for the local law much valuable property and many lives would be in charge of incapable men.

?

      Although Hongkong has progressed so wonderfully since the signing of the Treaty with China in 1861, it must not be forgotten that the Trade of Canton the most Southern open Port in the Chinese Empire has been almost ruined, the opening of the Yang-tze-kiang to Haukow has diverted the transport of Teas &c., to Shanglan for shipment where formerly a great deal of the produce of the Country was conveyed South by land and shipped at Canton Whca, it is however to be hoped that the proposed Railway Scheme will bring the trade back again to the Southern Fors, and should Railway communication be extended to Kowloong, Hongkong would become the principal shipping Port for the whole of China; the Railway system will save much time and danger at present experienced in Ocean and River Navigation by Vessels that under existing circumstances have to ship at the Northern Ports.—I have the honor to be, Sir, Your most obedient Servant,

SIR HERCULES GEORGE ROBERT ROBINSON, Knight,

Governor of the Colony of Hongkong.

The Humble Petition of the undersigned, Members of the HONGKONG GENERAL CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, Humbly Sheweth:

P

That whereas it has come to the knowledge of your Petitioners that on the second reading of the Draft Ordinance, entitled The Limited Liability Ordinance of 1864, the said Draft Ordinance was thrown out in the Legislative Council assembled on Thursday the 2nd Instant: A very numerously attended Meeting of the Members of the Hongkong General Chamber of Commerce was held upon the 9th Instant for the purpose of fully ascertaining the views of the Commercial Community upon the subjects of which the said Ordinance treats, when the following Resolutions were almost unanimously carried, to say:

Resolution 1.-That this Meeting views with extreme regret the rejection by the Legislative Council of the Companies' Ordinance of 1864 believing that the operation of the principle of Limited Liability of Shareholders in Joint Stock Companies is essential to the general interests of this Colony, and this Meeting therefore resolves that a Petition, to be signed by the Members of this Chamber be presented to His Excellency the Governor, praying that he will be pleased to again introduce the said Ordinance, laying before the Council the Petition as an expression of the opinion of the Mercantile Community of this Colony and of their desire that the said Ordinance be passed.

Resolution 2.-That the Committee of the Chamber of Commerce be authorized by this Meeting to draw up the proposed Memorial, to submit the same for signature to the Members, and to lay it before His Excellency the Governor with all convenient speed.

Resolution 3.--That this Meeting is impressed with the belief that the general Public other than the Members of this Chamber are deeply interested in the proposed Ordinance being carried out, and the Meeting therefore resolves that a similar petition be left open to the Public for signature.

Your Petitioners are deeply impressed with the conviction that the said Ordinance will be the means of developing the general prosperity of the Colony by promoting undertakings not open at present to Individuals or Mercantile Firms, and they are also of opinion that its action would lead to the retention within this Colony of a large portion of the wealth now usually withdrawn by Capitalists, who, from an absence of the security afforded by the Law of Limited Liability are compelled to seek investment elsewhere.

Your Petitioners accordingly humbly pray that Your Excellency will be pleased again to bring forward the said Draft Ordinance for discussion in the Legislative Council, that it may receive Your Excellency's powerful support together with the favorable consideration of the Council, and that it may at an early date become Law in this Colony, and your Petitioners will ever pray.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 25?? FEBRUARY, 1865.

To HIS EXCELLENCY

SIR HERCULES G. R. ROBINSON, Knight.

Governor and Commander-in-Chief of the Colony of Hongkong

and its Dependencies and Vice-Admiral of the same.

This Memorial of Residents in the Colony of Hongkong humbly Sheweth: That the Memorialists whose names are hereto subscribed respectfully lay before Your Excellency their anxious desire that the Law of Limited Liability of Shareholders in Joint Stock Companies as prevailing in England may be carried into effect in this Colony.

2. Your Memorialists are aware that an Ordinance embodying this principle and described as the "Companies' Ordinance of 1864" was lately rejected on its second reading in the Legislative Council by a majority of one vote, but your Memorialists are led to believe that this circumstance simply arose from a misapprehension of the views held on this 'important question by the great majority of this Community.

3. Your Memorialists are deeply interested in the prosperity of the Colony and are convinced that its welfare can be largely promoted by Joint Stock Associations formed for the purpose of carrying out such enterprises as cannot be undertaken by single individuals or by Mercantile firms. And your Memorialists clearly perceive that such combinations of private Capital can only be attained through the influence of a measure which will limit responsibility of Shareholders to a fixed

extent.

4. It is most respectfully submitted by your Memorialists that there always is in this place and in the neighbouring Ports of China a certain accumulation of private means not actively used in Commerce, and which could in many ways be advantageously employed were the desired Law in force. There is also a large stream of wealth constantly leaving China, some of which would assuredly remain here for permanent investinent, by means of the facilities created under the operation of the said Law. An amount of outside Capital would thus be attracted to the Colony which would greatly stimulate its industrial character. It is moreover highly probable that nearly all the public Companies at the open Ports of China, would in course of time, avail of the privilege of registration in this Colony which would thus become the Official Head Quarters of many important enterprises, and attain a more eminent position in connection with the trade of China than belongs to it now. 5. Lastly your Memorialists confidently believe that there is nothing exceptional in the character of Hongkong as a place of business, so as to render it unfit to possess the desired facility for local enterprise, and your Memorialists earnestly pray Your Excellency to consider with favour this petition, and again lay before the Legislative Council the “Companies' Ordinance of 1864," together with this prayer of the Inhabitants that the said Ordinance may become the Law of this Colony.

And your Petitioners humbly pray, &c.,

VOTES AND PROCEEDINGS OF THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL OF HONGKONG.

No. 2 of 1865.

THURSDAY, 23RD FEBRUARY, 1865.

PRESENT:

     His Excellency the GOVERNOR and all the Members, except the COLONIAL TREASURER. The Council met to-day by Special Summons.

The Minutes of the Council held on the 2nd Instant, were read and approved.

The GOVERNOR laid on the table two Petitions very numerously signed, one being from the Hongkong General Chamber of Commerce, the other from 293 Residents in this Colony. The Prayer of both Petitions was to the effect that His Excellency would be pleased again to introduce the Bill known as the Limited Liability Ordinance, which had been rejected at a previous Meeting. The Petitions having been read and received, and His Excellency having expressed his concurrence in

the views therein set forth,-

The Bill, entitled "An Ordinance for the Incorporation, Regulation and Winding-up of Trading Com-

panies and other Associations," was read a first time.

The GOVERNOR then explained to the Council that if the regular interval required by the Rules were allowed to elapse between the first and second reading, the measure could not become law before his departure from the Colony; that the Bill now introduced had been already for some time before the Public, and was identical with that which appeared in the Government Gazette; and that it was thereupon for the Council to decide whether this was a case of emergency which admitted of a suspension of the Rules, at the same time expressing his individual opinion that no inconvenience could ensue from such proceeding, as in the event of the Bill being read a second time, it was his intention to refer the same to a Special Committee.

Whereupon, it was moved by Mr. MURRAY and seconded by the AUDITOR GENERAL, that, the case before the Council being one of emergency within the meaning of the Rules, the one which prescribes an interval of Ten Days to elapse between the first and second reading of a Bill be suspended.

And on His Excellency putting the Question, that the Rule be suspended,-

Debate ensued.

Council divided.

(No. 7.)

W. T. MERCER, Colonial Secretary.

REGISTRAR GENERAL'S OFFICE, VICTORIA, HONGKONG, 31st January, 1865.

SIR,-In accordance with your letter No. 995 of 2nd December 1864, I have the honour to forward the enclosed sheets of the Bine Book filled up, viz., Establishment on 31st December 1864-Population-Ecclesiastical Returns-Agriculture,

and Manufactures.

I beg, also, to enclose the following Returns of the Census of Hongkong for 1864, viz: No. 1, Census of Hongkong- No. 2, Population of Hongkong-No. 3, Classification and number of Houses in Hongkong-No. 4, Return of Chinese residing in Hongkong-No. 5, Mortality amongst the Chinese Population during 1864-No. 6, Boat Population in the Harbour and Bays of Hongkong-No. 7, Summary of Boat Population.

While forwarding these Returns, I would call attention to the seemning decrease in the Population of Hongkong, whereas, undoubtedly there has been a fair increase.

     The Census for 1863 shewed a total population of 124,850, while for 1864 the Returns make only a population of 121,498, hence there is an apparent decrease of 3,852.

However, though in the gross there is this decrease, yet an inspection of the attached Schedules, will manifest a steady increase upon previous years.

In the Returns for 1853, Schedule No. 1, an estimated return is made of 5,000 Street Coolies.

     Being of opinion, that the state of the Colony on 31st December 1864, did not warrant such a return. I have not entered anything under this head, considering that the sum of 2,000 was sufficient to include all the persons who live in matsheds or have no certain dwelling place.

Therefore deducting this item from the total for 1863, the Population would be 119,850, while, as I said before, it is for last year estimated at 121,498, shewing an increase of 1648.

     But the whole Returns shew even a greater increase than this, for a deduction has to be made under the head of Emi- grants; the Office having been removed to Canton--the Emigration Officer acquaints me that on the 31st December 1864, there were no Emigrants living in this Colony.

Hence, though there was a Return made for 1863, there is none made for 1864.

     For the Villages, the Return that only requires notice is the one for Kowloong where there is a difference of 1,053 between this and that for 1863.

Considering the great changes that have taken place on the Cession in Kowloong, the removal of the Village of Tsim- sha-tsui, and a number of detached houses having been pulled down in different places, to carry out the Scheme of the Government for laying out the land,-allowance having been made for these, there will, I conceive, be no difficulty in ac- counting for a diminution just now in the Population there, though the place shews signs of being highly populous at no distant period.

Requesting that these considerations may be submitted with the Returns,-I have the honour to be, Sir, your most obedient servant,

The Honourable

CECIL C. SMITH, Acting Registrar General.

    His Excellency the Governor directs the publication of the subjoined Annual Report of the Hongkong General Post Office for 1864.

By Order,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 8th March, 1865.

(No. 10.)

W. T. MERCER, Colonial Secretary.

GENERAL POST OFFICE, HONGKONG, 22nd February, 1865.

     SIR,-I do myself the honour to report for the information of His Excellency the Governor that the Revenue which accrued from this Department to the Colonial Government during the year 1864, amounted to eighty-six thousand three hundred and forty-one Dollars and eleven cents, being an increase of seventeen thousand five hundred and eighty-one Dollars and two cents on the Revenue for the year 1863, $35,208.36 on the Revenue of 1862, and $51,021.57 on the Revenue of 1861, which shows the steady and continued prosperity of the Office.

The expenditure for the year 1861, so far as the same has been defrayed by the Colony, amounts to twenty-four thousand four hundred and thirty-one Dollars and five cents, or three thousand two hundred and fifteen Dollars and sixty-three cents in excess of the expenditure of the year 1863, and this is accounted for by the continued increase in the gratuities paid to Masters of Vessels, under the 12th Clause of the Post Office Ordinance, for the conveyance of Ship Mails; the employment of an addi- tional Sorter; and the increased expenditure at the Packet Agencies at the Ports in China and Japan.

     The Amount of Imperial Revenue which was collected in Hongkong, and remitted to the General Post Office in London during the year 1864, was twenty-six thousand and sixty-seven Pounds and eleven shillings Sterling, being an increase of ?1,981.6.0 on the Revenue of 1863, ?7,504.9.3 on the Revenue of 1862, and 15,809.7.9 on the Revenue of 1861.

In the cases of both the Imperial and Colonial Revenue I consider the increases to have arisen from the additions which have been made to commerce at the various Ports in China and Japan, and also to the addition to the Mercantile and Banking Population of Hongkong.

     The total Revenue of the Hongkong Post Office for the year 1864 amounts to two hundred and eleven thousand four hundred and sixty-five Dollars and thirty-five cents, or a total excess over the previous years' Revenue of twenty-seven thousand and ninety-one Dollars and twenty-six cents.

From the 1st of August last the business of the Department has been carried on in a portion of the Supreme Court House, and pending the completion of the new Post Office, now in course of erection, these temporary Offices will be sufficient for the requirements of the Department, I fully anticipate however that in the new building I shall be able to give the public increased Facilities, and I hope to make many improvements in the efficiency of the Office.

During the past year the Mails sent and received by the French line of Packets have increased in some small degree. The compulsory use of Colonial Postage Stamps in the payment of postages in Hongkong, and also at the Ports, has met with complete success, and although great opposition was made to the measure at the outset, it is now, I believe, admitted on all sides to have advantages over the old system of payments in money, and so far as the Department and its Agencies are concerned, the introduction and use of Stamps has been found an improvement.

The illegal transmission of correspondence by the great firms still continues, and it has been observed that although some of the houses who have important Agencies at Shanghae seldom receive their Correspondences arriving by the British Contract Packets through the Post, yet in many cases their Correspondence sent from and to the same place by the French Mail Packets through the Post Office, and I submit that this fact goes to show that greater attention is paid to the Regulations and Law which prohibits the transmission of general Correspondence outside the Mails, on board the Messageries Imperiales steamers than is given to the subject on board the Vessels of the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company, which are under Contract to Her Majesty's Government for the conveyance of Mails, and who are prohibited under that Contract from carrying letters otherwise than in the Mails, excepting of course such letters as are exempt by Law, but notwithstanding, the Vessels of this Company never make a trip to or from the Northern Ports under Contract, or otherwise, without illegally conveying Correspondence, and although I have taken every means in my power to prevent the continuance of the system, which injures the Revenue and gives advantages to those who adopt it, over those who adopt the legal method of sending their Correspondence,

that my attempts have been unsuccessful.

negret to say

The accounts of the department still grow in intricacy, and I am unable to recommend any change which would work dvantageously in the system of keeping them, except it be to adopt a similar system to that which I believe prevails with the Australian Colonies, or some of them, and that is for the Colony to retain all the Revenue collected here, the Imperial Po-t ce acting in like manner with that collected in London, and for the Colony to contribute annually, say ?20,000.0.0, or me other fair fixed sum which might be arranged, to the General Post Office in London, a system of this kind would much

* It should be understood that candidates are at liberty to name at their pleasure any or all of these branches of knowledge (subject only to the restriction above mentioned as to Natural Science), and that no subjects are obligatory.

"Nothing can be further from our wish than to hold out premiums for knowledge of wide surface and of small depth. We are of opinion that e "Candidate ought to be allowed no credit at all for taking up a subject in which he is a mere smatterer.”—--Report of Committee of 1854.

+ Full instructions as to the course of study to be pursued will be issued to the successful candidates as soon as possible after the result of the ope" competition is declared.

The following Report of the Board of Education for 1864, is published for general information.

By Order,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 20th March, 1865.

W. H. ALEXANDER, Acting Colonial Secretary.

To HIS EXCELLENCY

SIR HERCULES G. K. ROBINSON, Knight,

Governor of Hongkon?, &c., &c.

     The Board of Education have the honour to present to Your Excellency their Annual Report on the state of the Govern- ment Schools in the Island of Hongkong.

In doing so, they desire to report, first, on the Village Schools, and, secondly, on the Central School.

     I. The Board regret that although there are not wanting certain indications of improvement in a few of the Village Schools, there are still many obstacles to be removed before Chinese Education in this Colony is productive of much good.

Among the obstacles which present themselves may be enumerated the following:-

1. The low moral tone of many of the masters, and the difficulty of supplying their places with a class of men superior

in this respect.

2. The extreme indifference of the poorer class of Chinese, in this Colony, to the education of their children.

3. The prejudices they entertain against any change in their own syste:n of teaching.

In reference to the first of these obstacles, it is often painful to find the indifference and obstinacy of the masters in the work of teaching; their attempts at deception with regard to the School Rolls; and the efforts made to make it appear that the whole blame of the inefficiency of the Schools lies not with them, but with the parents and children.

The difficulty of obtaining good masters-men of character for ability and truthfulness-is a source of deep regret; but is a difficulty which is almost insuperable in the present state of the Colony. It is scarcely possible for Europeans to culti- ate that acquaintance with the Chinese which would enable them to judge correctly of their character and attainments. This may be Leing the case, when a master is wanted, application must be made to Chinese in whom some degree of confidence placed; but even these are always ready to use the power thus delegated to them in behalf of some friend or acquaintance, rather than in favour of a man chosen simply for his character and learning.

The second obstacle-the indifference of the Chinese-cannot easily be accounted for, since no fee is charged at the Village Schools.

It is believed, however, that this arises also from the present peculiar state of the Colony. The children who do attend long principally to the boat-population. This being the case, in addition to the impossibility there is of turning education any practical account, their poverty renders them dependent, in some measure, on what can be gained by the manual labour of their children; and this not only makes the attendance irregular, but causes it to be of very short continuance.

The attendance at Chinese Schools is very fluctuating, and this peculiarity is not confined to those in Hongkong. The ambers increase from the Chinese New Year to the month of May, when the attendance is greatest. From that time to the cre of the year the numbers steadily decrease.

At the commencement of last year, of the 21 enrolled at one of the Schools 10 of the pupils were new; of the 22 at ther 12 were new; of the 34 at another 20 were new; and of the 5! at another no fewer than 40 were new. Many of the pupils of the previous year must therefore have left School, perhaps never to return, with no other attainment than the Simple retention in their memories of the names of a few hundred characters, of the meaning of which it is not too much to ay that they knew absolutely nothing.

This state of things would be very much improved if the children of the more respectable Chinese attended the Schools, at these seldom bring their families to the Colony; and, so long as this is the case, it is greatly to be feared that Education will not make that progress here which those interested in it could wish to see.

    As regards the third obstacle mentioned, one great objection made by the Chinese to the Government Schools is that the ystem of teaching by classes is insisted upon. The objection is generally stated thus:-"The books used in English Schools are learnt, not so much perhaps for the information they contain, as that they are a convenient means of acquiring a practical

owledge of the language.

Chinese books, on the other hand, are learnt solely for what they contain: the language in which they are written is not that of every day life: a traditional explanation, to be communicated only by the master, is quired to render them intelligible: and, to be of any use, they must be committed to memory. A Chinese boy, therefore,

Chinese books, on the other hand, are learnt solely for what they contain: the language in which they are written is not that of every day life: a traditional explanation, to be communicated only by the master, is quired to render them intelligible: and, to be of any use, they must be committed to memory. A Chinese boy, therefore,

if absent from School for a few days, could not join his class at the lesson they had reached, as the part he would thereby want is necessary to the understanding of the whole; and, besides, if he were not to resume his studies at the exact point at which he left them, he would fail to learn a number of characters which might not recur again in the whole course of his reading."

     But, allowing that there are peculiarities attending the acquisition of Chinese which are not to be found in other lan- guages the objection does not operate to the extent which they persuade themselves it does. If the children were sent more regularly to School, and the choice of the books to be read left to the masters, acting in this respect in accordance with their instructions from the Board, the objection would be found to be practically invalid. And that it really is so may be seen from the state of the School at Tang-lung-chow, which has the greatest attendance of any Village School in the Colony. The master, several years ago, brought out a system of teaching by classes for himself, and steadily adheres to it-the result being. that his School far surpasses in efficiency any of the others, where, in deference to the prejudices of the parents, the old system is more or less followed, the masters being afraid that a departure from it would leave their Schools empty.

Another objection is that the Sacred Scriptures are read in the Schools. It is very discouraging, after the repeated attempts which have been made to explain to the Chinese that this is not compulsory, but entirely at the option of parents and guardians to find this objection continually put forward: and, that it also is more ostensive than real may be gathered from the fact that in a School supported by one of the Missions, where the Bible must be read, there is a regular attendance of forty children, while there are only some ten or twelve at the Government School in the neighbourhood.

Taking all these things into consideration, and coupling with them the fact that there are so many children in the Colony who never enter a School, and who are, in consequence, growing up in ignorance and vice, the Board, while lament- ing that the advantages offered by Government are not better appreciated, are willing to wait patiently in the hope that, in the ordinary progress of events, the cause of education will ere long present a more favourable aspect.

     The Board have to report a decrease in the number enrolled for the year, but it is satisfactory to find that the attendance is much more regular, as will be seen from the Tabular Statement appended. This attendance is judged of, not from the reports of the masters, but from the state of the Schools as found by the Inspector on the days of his visits.

     The School Rolls are now more faithfully kept than formerly, although there are still instances of considerable discrepancy between the number recorded and the number actually found present. At the same time, the entire blame of this cannot be thrown on the masters. As Chinese Schools are open from 6 o'clock in the morning to 4 o'clock in the afternoon, it is possible that most or those marked present may have been so at some portion of the day which suited either their own or their parents'

convenience.

     The Board have pleasure in reporting on the favourable state of the Schools at Tang-lung-chow, and Stanley, together with the Girls' School in Victoria.

The first of these has a larger and more regular attendance than any of the other Schools. At the examination for Prizes recently held, the number of books which had been read during the year, the accuracy with which the lessons had been learnt, and the discipline which was maintained, were deserving of special commendation.

The School which occupies the next place is that at Stanley. In the course of two years the present master has raised the attendance from almost nothing to an average of thirty-thus deserving the promotion promised to him of being placed in the first grade of teachers with an increase of salary.

to

The improvement at the Girls' School is particularly marked. It was thought last year that it would be necessary ti dismiss the master on account of negligence; but the caution then given him has had the effect of raising his School to be the third in order of merit.

The Board regret that the School at West Point does not this year occupy its previous place either in numbers or effi- ciency. The causes of this are not very apparent, although it may be attributed, in part, to the feeble health of the master.

Of the other Schools it is not necessary to enter into details. They are far from being in a satisfactory condition; and so strongly are the Board of this opinion that if another year does not show any improvement they will deem it advisable to recommend their discontinuance, and the centralizing of education in Victoria and its immediate neighbourhood.

     The education at all these Schools is exclusively Chinese, if the reading of the Scriptures be excepted. These, however, are taught to the pupils in their native language.

The Board have not been able to entertain the requests made by several Villages for the restoration of old or the esta- blishment of new Schools. In the former case sufficient results have not been shown to justify the Board in granting any further aid than the School-houses already lent. In the latter, the counter-petitions presented show that it was only when rival candidates, for the office of Government Schoolmaster, held forth to them the hope of a pecuniary reward that they entertained the idea of educating their children.

     Although the Board have thus deemed it necessary to dwell at considerable length on the drawbacks which are experi enced in the conduct of the Village Schools they have not done so with the intention of impeding the cause of education in Hongkong; but they have acted in the belief that a faithful statement of the real difficulties with which it is beset will do more to its advancement than if the favourable aspects of the case had been brought more prominently into view.

     II. In entering on the second part of their Report, the Board have pleasure in referring to the state of the Central School.

Being now more efficiently conducted from the appointment of an additional English master, of considerable experience in teaching, it is likely, in the course of a few years, to justify the hopes entertained on its establishment. It is attended, principally, by a class of boys superior to those at the Village Schools; and, for this reason, the Board have resolved that, for the future, fees shall be charged against all the pupils.

The School is divided into two Departments which comprise the ordinary branches of an English and Chinese education -the latter being considerably superior to that imparted at the Village Schools, from the fact of admission being allowed only on passing the Entrance Examination in the more commonly used Chinese Books. The Bible is not used as a text-book, in English, but it is taught by the Chinese masters, in their own language, to those pupils whose parents offer no objections. Being under the immediate superintendence of European masters, the School does not experience the same difficulties in its management as the others do. With some little firmness necessary at its commencement a daily attendance has been secured, which, in regularity, will bear favourable comparison with that of any school in England. The pupils, too, from the adva?- tages they anticipate from a knowledge of English, are, as a rule, diligent and obedient; and, when not too old, show consi- derable aptitude in the acquisition of the language.

     The School continues to grow in favour with the Chinese. Admission is eagerly sought by many more than can received; and the Board entertain the hope that the favourable impression which this School seems to have made will extend itself also to the Village Schools, as prejudices are gradually removed, and confidence established in the benevolent intentions of the Government.

On behalf of the Board,

VICTORIA, HONGKONG, 3rd March, 1865.

157

My Sixth Annual Report on the Sanitary Condition of the Colony, does not contain any startling details of extraordinary melioration in the rate of mortality, or general salubrity of the population, such as may be found in some of my previous forts. It has now become an almost universally received opinion that Hongkong has lost its former unenviable reputation sickness and mortality amongst its residents. If the present year should be passed without any great increase in the ath rate, and my Seventh Report be equally favorable with the present, this good opinion becomes strongly backed by stical evidence, and Hongkong must cease to be a bye word for all that is unhealthy and inimical to European life. It been my peculiar privilege to record, year by year, the sanitary measures that have been adopted since 1858 with the ect of bringing about the present satisfactory condition of matters, and it requires no great trouble to discover that those Maitary measures have been eminently successful. The Tables, which follow in their proper places, exhibit, in a most remark e manner, the gradual improvement which has taken place since 1858; so marked, indeed, is the difference between the rds for 1858 and 1864, that they would appear to refer to a totally different Town. A wise extension of the improvements ich have been introduced, from time to time, can only exhibit still better results in future years. The Colony is already rapidly acquiring the reputation of being the sanatarium of China, and a few more improvements will really make it so.

      It will be observed, that 1864 was a much healthier year than 1863. It was also remarkable as being the mildest sum- mer and the warmest winter since 1858. The thermometer was kept down from March to August by the almost uninter- rapted fall of rain which prevailed-a fall of rain which fortunately continued until the worst of the hot season was over, and thus escaped the great insalubrity which must have followed the evaporation and miasmatic exhalations caused by intense bat acting upon a saturated soil.

Small pox was more prevalent than it had been during the preceeding six years, and a larger number of cases were mitted into Hospital, there being at one time no less than sixteen cases; but the result of treatment was so satisfactory as to prove that the type was mild. February and March were the months during which it was most common.

      In March and April Measles became almost epidemic, attacking principally however the better class of inhabitants--only two cases having been admitted into Hospital. Hooping Cough, which had hitherto been very rarely met with in Hongkong, shewed itself in several cases, and proved intractable and even fatal. But that great terror of the East, Cholera, did not come under my own observation, although six cases are recorded as admitted into the Seaman's Hospital. Dysentery and Diarrhoea were more prevalent than in 1863, but not proportionally more fatal.

A doubtful case of death from: Hydrophobia occurred, to which I should not allude had it not causelessly given great anxiety to the friends of several persons who were bitten-as however there exists a difference of opinion as to the occurrence of the disease in this Colony, it would be a wise precaution to place the numerous dogs under better control than has hitherto

been the case.

     Under the succeeding healings my remaining remarks will have reference to the various Institutions which come offici- ally under my cognizance.

I. THE POLICE.

The Police Force of this Colony, notwithstanding the arduous duties it is called upon to perform, and the great exposure heat and wet to which it is necessarily subjected, is distinguished by marked healthiness. The following Tables make this very apparent.

Table I. shews the admissions into, and deaths in, the Hospital, of members of the Police Force, during every month of 1864. Table II, shews the rate, per cent, of sickness and mortality of the Force during the same year.

     The average strength exceeded that of 1863 by over 12 per cent, this increase being to the extent of nearly 50 per cent in reference to the European element, and yet the deaths in 1864 were less than those in 1863 by 25 per cent. The actual romber of admissions into hospital were in excess of those in 1863, but the low death ratio of 1.54 per cent of the admissions, proves that the sickness was not of a serious type.

      Venereal disease, which is kept at a minimum, among the men, by means of the monthly examinations, and the Brothel Ordinance, has undergone a still greater reduction than reported last year. There has also been a similar improvement in respect to the number of impostors, feigning disease, to avoid night duty, or punishment, admitted into hospital.

     Nothing can be desired in regard to the clothing of the Force, and when the large central barracks are completed the qarters will be altogether unexceptionable. Under the circumstances set forth it is natural to find this body of men remark-

bly exempt from disease.

Table III., kindly furnished to me by Dr. Dick, the Principal Military Medical Officer, gives a comparative return of the health of the troops serving in Hongkong, from which it will be seen, that, although both the sickness and mortality are uch greater than in the Police Force, the mortality rate has not been greater in 1864 than in 1863, while the rate of sick- Less has actually been smaller.

II. THE GOVERNMENT CIVIL HOSPITAL.

I have prepared a series of most instructive tables, in reference to this Institution, which will be found well worthy of careful perusal.

     Table IV. gives the number of admissions into this Hospital, during the last seven years, with the result of treatment in each case, and as it refers to no less a number than 5,081, ath a basis for statistical deductions.

     Table V., which also embraces the Seaman's Hospital and the Gaol, gives fuller particulars, in reference to the Civil Hospital, during the year 1864.

Table XIII. gives the rate of mortality in the Civil Hospital, during the past seven years, distinguishing the rate in the case of Europeans from Colored persons and Chinese.

    Table VI., kindly sent to me by the Resident Surgeon, Dr. Adams, gives information in reference to the Seaman's Hos- tal similar to what may be gathered from Table V. in regard to the Civil Hospital.

     Table VII. I have constructed on the same plan as Table IV., so as to give the number of admissions into the Seaman's Hospital, during the last seven years, with the result of the treatment in each case.

     It cannot be denied, that the result is not so satisfactory as might be desired; I can only repeat, however, what I have already mentioned in these Reports, that no fair rate can be looked for, until the building and appliances for treatment are faced upon a very

different footing from that which they now present; at the sametime, it must not be forgotten, that, ong the number of admissions, there are not dozens of moribund destitutes brought within the walls only to die, as cons- ently occurs in the Civil Hospital.

In the Civil Hospital the result of treatment has been more satisfactory than it was in 1863, but is still above the average, and tauch above what it was in 1860-61 and 62: this high rate has been maintained by the epidemic of small pos, already ferred to--by a great increase in the number of admissions of cases of Diarrhoea-by an altogether unusual number of severe ses of wounds, more especially of the abdomen, a most formidable class to treat; and, lastly, by the smaller but still large, amber of cases of starvation and destitution, many of which are admitted almost dead, but go to swell the rate of mortality.

Still the death rate in the Civil Hospital of this Colony, is not so high but that it will bear favorable comparison with at in European Hospitals, as may be gathered from an examination of Table XIII. with the following data.

Our average for seven years is only 8.79 per cent, and last year was 9.63 per cent—a rate for which there is great reason to be thankful.

It remains a matter for serious consideration, however, that there were no less than four admissions resulting from star- vation among Europeans, and that two of that number died.

     Many improvements have taken place during the past year in the establishment itself. Among these the most important are the introduction of proper latrines and baths; increased pay to the wardmasters, who are consequently more attentive to the patients; monthly Reports from the Superintendent, forwarded to His Excellency the Governor, pointing out repairs and alterations required; and, lastly, regular visitation by the Justices of the Peace. With the present system in force, I look confidently for even better results than we have yet obtained-results which would appear almost incredible when compared with those of 1858, but not more marked than the contrast between the present condition of the Institution, and that which it presented in 1858.

The death rate, although somewhat higher in 1864 than in the previous year, was not equal to the average of seven years, nor much above that of several of our English Prisons. There occurred no disease in an epidemic form, and the deaths generally were such as could in no way be attributed to the system of incarceration. Of the two Europeans who died, one, a soldier, was from disease of the heart, which proved fatal from excitement at the moment when he was about to be sent on board ship, for removal to England; he fell dead in the Court Yard, in presence of his escort-the second died of serous apoplexy, the result of prolonged intoxication prior to admission.

     The building is clean and well ventilated, and under its present able management should maintain the satisfactory sanitary condition for which it has been long known.

    It will be seen that, as a rule, the men lose weight in the summer, which they generally regain in winter. The tabe also points out the fact of two prisoners, out of the four named in the table as condemned for life, who have gone on steably gaining weight, contrary to what might be expected to occur to men who have lost all hope of freedom.

The table is only the commencement of a series of observations I propose to make on this subject.

IV. THE CONVICT HULK.

Table X. shews the rate of sickness and mortality, in the Convict Hulk at Stone Cutters' Island, during the past ye The result shewn here is very satisfactory. The total number of prisoners was 412 against 384 in 1863--giving average of about 264 against 250 in 1863, and the rate of both sickness and mortality markedly diminished.

In 1863 the rate of mortality, to the total number of prisoners, was 10.67 per cent and to the average 16.40 while in 1864 it was only 1.69 per cent to the total, and 2.66 to the average number of prisoners.

The Hulk was visited daily by the Surgeon appointed to perform that duty and was inspected by me from time to time. During these inspections, some of which were made in the middle of the night, I directed my attention especially to the tem- rature between decks and to the state of ventilation. The latter appeared to me very good and the following Table will how what the temperature was:—--

I think this result very satisfactory, and the fact of an increased number of Convicts, on board the vessel, presenting such a marked degree of health, shows how unfounded was the notion that the Royal Saxon had been overcrowded in 1863.

V. THE LOCK HOSPITAL.

     I have to report the continued good derived from this Institution and the working of Ordinance No. 12 of 1857, by which it was established.

Table XI. affords instructive information on this subject.

It points out how, during the seven years the Ordinance has been in force, 2,436 infected women have been segregated from the localities in which they could convey infection, and that during a total of 65.916 days-in other words, supposing that every infected woman would only convey the discase to one man, during each day she was so diseased, we have 65,916 cases of disease prevented, or at least that number of opportunities of conveying the disease prevented. But this must be greatly below the amount of good done, for without the present system the women would probably continue infected for a much longer time, and it is certainly a very low estimate to say that each one would only infect one man a day. This table points out further, that the duration of treatment has steadily diminished up to last year. The increased ratio I believe to be referable to two causes, viz.: the return from Shanghai and the North of many badly diseased women, and some imperfections in the Ordinance, which the women have discovered and by which they are enabled to evade the Inspector of Brothels. I believe that it will be necessary to revise this Ordinance, and amend it so as to meet the changes in the Town and the defects in its working, for it behoves us to maintain the reputation we have gained for a station, once notoriously infected, having nearly purged itself of the foul disease.

     In the year 1862 the enormous prevalence of Venereal disease in the Army and Navy, caused a Royal Commission to be issued, for the purpose of devising measures to check, in some manner, its spread. In the "Confidential Report" issued thereon, the good work begun in this Colony is thus acknowledged: "Too much credit cannot be given to those who have "been concerned in the framing and working of the enactments which have produced such good effects at Malta and Hong- "kong." But it will require unremitting attention to deserve a continuance of such commendation.

     Table XII. gives faller details as to the character of the disease, and average duration of treatment during every month of the year 1864.

     Table XIV. is an approximative estimate of the mortality among Foreign Residents in Hongkong, during the last seven years. The data from which it is compiled are furnished to me by the Registrar General as regards the number of Residents, and by the Sextons of the two cemeteries as regards the deaths, excluding in both cases military, and naval and merchant seamen, as well as burials from the Hospitals. A further deduction of no less than 42 out of the 151 deaths recorded must be made for the wives and children of soldiers, a class of the community peculiarly sickly. In this manner of compiling the table it appears, as there were good grounds to expect, that the past year has been more healthy than 1863 and the mortality among the actual Residents smaller. But there are many difficulties in the way of obtaining accurate information for statis- tical purposes. Among these must not be forgotten, the peculiarly migratory character of our Foreign population, and the reputation Hongkong has attained as a sanatarium in China thus bringing many sick here for change. Should it ever be found advisable to appoint a registrar of births, deaths and marriages, and make the registration coinpulsory many of the difficulties now existing would disappear.

Table XV. gives the usual information regarding the work performed by the Inspector of Nuisances attached to this Department.

     Table XVI. shews the annual mean state of the atmosphere during the year 1861, as recorded at the Government Civil Hospital. It points out the great increase in the fall of rain, and the lower range of the Thermometer and Barometer.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.

     The following letter from the Coroner is published for general information, and the attention of Owners, Consignees and Masters of Vessels, as well as of all connected with the Shipping Interest, is particularly drawn to it.

     The efforts of Her Majesty's Navy and of this Government for the suppression of Piracy are seriously thwarted, so long as encouragement, as in the case of the Georg Andreas is given to

iratical enterprise by the culpable neglect of the most ordinary measures of precaution.

By Order,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 13th April, 1865.

W. H. ALEXANDER, Acting Colonial Secretary.

CORONER'S OFFICE,

VICTORIA, HONGKONG, 12th April, 1865.

SIR,-I have the honor to forward to you for the information of His Excellency the Acting Governor the depositions taken in the Coroner's Inquest held on the 1st, 3rd, and 8th April instant, upon view of the body of the Master of the Danish Brig Georg Andreas who was killed in a piratical attack on the said Brig, when outside the Ly-yu-moon, on the day of the

of the vessel from Victoria Harbour, viz. the 30th March ultimo. departure

The special reason which leads me to submit this case to His Excellency's notice is the marked carelessness and neglect exhibited by the absence of provision of arms and ammunition and preparation to defend the ship, this neglect being the more markable and reprehensible considering the serious warnings afforded by the annually recurring instances of Piracy, accompanied and saddened by the loss of life of Officers and Seamen,) upon Foreign Vessels of small Tonnage, in the waters Surrounding Hongkong, in most of which instances a similar want of precaution was observable, although not to the extent exhibited in the present case.

The summary of the evidence bearing upon the subject of this letter is contained in the following extract from the deposition of the Second Mate, which evidence was entirely borne out by the Chief Mate and other witnesses. The Second Mate deposed: The Arms on board consisted of twelve muskets without bayonets, which were in a rack in the aft cabin, but they were not loaded; we had no bullets for them, and the gunpowder was below; we had two small cannons, but these "were lashed amidships."

The crew of the Georg Andreas consisted of the Master, Chief Mate, Second Mate, and seven European Seamen, also a Chinese Supercargo, and a Chinese Steward, and it is painful to be compelled to believe, from the detailed account of the Piracy given by the several witnesses, that the life of the deceased man would in all probability have been saved, and the ship preserved from plunder, had there been reasonable means of defence on board.

It is desirable to note that the state of a ship with regard to arms, means of defence, and readiness to meet attack is well known to the Chinese trusted and employed, in various ways about a vessel before departure, and there is reason to believe that collusion exists between some of such Chinese and pirates, or that a piratical scheme is concocted to attack a particular ship, invited thereto by the apathy, false security and carelessness of the Master and others, interested in the vessel, which false security and carelessness ensure success without danger to the pirates.

I beg permission to express my opinion that although the Master of a ship is the person most responsible to the law for the conduct and well being of the ship, yet perhaps in a common sense view of the matter the Owner, Charterer, Agent or Consignee in this Colony, or at other Ports in China, is not altogether free from onus, especially when it is borne in recollec- tion that many Masters of vessels are strangers to the Coast of China, and probably ignorant of the peculiar dangers arising from piracy, and the consequent necessity of taking precautionary measures.

It is not therefore too much to ask and expect that the persons referred to shall take an interest in the subject, by carrying Gat an undeviating rule of observation with regard to the arms, ammunition, means, and readliness of defence on board ships coning under their direction or management, and by giving advice or orders to the Master which may happily be the means preventing a similar catastrophe to that now brought to notice.-I have the honour to be, Sir, Your most obedient servant,

C. MAY, Coroner.

The Honorable

W. H. ALEXAnder, Esq.,

Acting Colonial Secretary.

NOTICE TO MARINERS.

WALARO0 AND TIPARA

TIPARA BAYS.

All bearings are magnetic, variation 4° 30′ E.

Notice is hereby given, that, on and after the (1st) first day of April next (1865), the floating beacou now moored on the Tipara Reef will be replaced by a temporary light-ship, which will be moored close under the rocky patch near the southern extremity of the Tipara Reef, with the following bearings:-Elizabeth Point, S.E. S.; Long Point, N.E. by E. The light-ship has two masts, is painted red, and exhibits during the day a red ball at the mainmast head.

    Lights. From sunset to sunrise will be exhibited the following lights-A white light from the mainmast (24) twenty- four feet above the sea-level, visible from all points of the compass at a distance of (7) seven miles in clear weather. A red light from the foremast (12) twelve feet above the sea-level, visible from N. to S., round by W., at a distance of (3) three miles,

in clear weather.

     Vessels making the Light from the N.N.W. should not stand towards the northern extremity of the reef, whilst the red light is visible, by observing the direction a ship will be well clear of the reef.

Should the weather be hazy, and the red or less intense light be obscured, no vessel should approach the reef with the white light bearing S.S.E., under (7) seven fathoms.

The following description of the Tipara, and sailing directions for Walaroo or Tipara Bays, are published for the guidance

of Mariners.

Point.

The Tipara Reef is an extensive shoal, the southern extremity being four and a-half (44) miles N.W. from Elizabeth

     The reef consists principally of sand, but there is a rocky patch of small extent near the southern extremity which dries at low water; it is under the shelter of this patch where the light-ship, referred to above, will be moored.

     From the rocky patch, the reef extends in a northerly direction, about two (2) miles, the outer edge tending to the N.N.W.; whilst the S.E. part takes a N.E. E. direction; the extreme breadth from east to west nearly two (2) miles.

The soundings on the reef vary:-in some places there being a fathom and a-half (14), whilst in others--particularly to the N.N.E. part of the shoal-there are only two (2) or three (3) feet. From the northern extremity of the reef, the buoy off Long Pont, referred to in this notice, bears N.E. by E. E.

Vessels rounding the south part of the reef should not bring Elizabeth Point to bear to the southward of S.E. by E. E. whilst those intending to pass to the northward of the danger, into or out of Tipara Bay, should not bring the buoy off Long Point to bear to the eastward of E. by N. 4 N.

     A red nun buoy has also been placed off Long Point in three (3) fathoms, with the following bearings:-- Elizabeth Point, S. E.; Long Point, E. by N. N.

To pass outside or to the westward of the Tipara Reef, do not approach the light-ship from the westward, under six (6) fathoms, or come within a mile of the same; froin this position, when to the westward of the reef, steer a N.N.W. course, in which the same soundings will be maintained.

     When the buoy of Long Point hears east, a course of N. E. may be shaped, taking care as the Long Point Buoy is brought to bear S. E. not to come under four and a-half (44) fathoms.

     When Long Point bears south, a course of E. by N. may be shaped, when the Pilot and Harbor Master will come off, and conduct the vessel to the anchorage or jetty.

     At night no vessel in the vicinity of Tipara Reef should come under (7) seven fathoms, or attempt to enter the Bay until the lights from the Smelting Works are clearly defined bearing E. by N., when that course may be shaped for the anchorage; taking care not to come unde six (6) fathoms, unless the commander is sufficiently well acquainted with the Bay to take the ship in, or the pilot has taken charge.

The tides in the vicinity of the reef and Long and Elizabeth Points, are irregular and rapid; care must therefore be exer- eised to guard against the influence of the tides when in the stream of the reef, or near the points referred to.

It is high water at Port Walaroo at 5h. 45m. F. & C.; rise and fall four (4) feet eight (8) inches at ordinary springs. Το pass inside Tipara Reef give Elizabeth Point a berth of a mile and a half (14), to avoid the shoal rocky patch which extends nearly a mile from the Point in a north-westerly direction.

     With the Point bearing S.E., distant a mile and a-half (14), steer due N., which course will lead through the inner sage in not less than four (4) fathoms.

pas-

     In beating through, keep the lead going, and do not in a vessel drawing more than seventeen (17) feet, when standing in shore, bring Long Point Buoy to bear to the westward of W.N.W.

     In standing off, when to the southward of the north end of the reef, do not bring the Long Point Buoy to bear to the eastward of N.N.E., by which the eastern part of the reef will be avoided.

     Small vessels may pass inside the Long Point Buoy, taking care not to bring Elizabeth Point to bear to the westward of S. by W., so as to avoid the Walrus Rock. With the above bearing a vessel will be in two (2) fathoms at low water, spring tides, with the Walrus Rock distant above half-a-mile.

The Walrus Rock lies nearly a mile off Long Point, when bearing S.E. by S., and is nearly dry at low water. N.E. a mile and a-half (14) from Walrus Rock lies the Bird Reef, which is awash at low water.

+

     Coasters should give this danger a wide berth, not bringing the Long Point Buoy to bear to the westward of S.W. With this bearing a vessel will be in two (2) fathoms at low water.

     In the bay there is excellent anchorage in four (4) fathoms, with the jetty end bearing E.S.E., distant about two (2) cables' lengths.

Small vessels can anchor in three (3) fathoms, with the end of the jetty bearing S.S.E. to S. Alongside the jetty will be found good berths, from eight (8) to fourteen (14) feet shoaling towards the shore.

     13. Articles of great size or weight, the placing of which will require considerable labour, must be sent before Saturday, the 1st of July 1866, and manufacturers wishing to exhibit machinery, or other objects that will require foundations or special constructions, must make a declaration to that effect on their demands for space.

If not removed within three days of notice being given, they will be disposed of, and the proceeds, if any, applied to the funds of the Exhibition.

     20. No counters or fittings will be provided by the Promoters. Exhibitors will be permitted, subject only to the necessary general regulations, to erect, according to their own taste, all the counters, stands, glass frames, brackets, awnings, hangings, or similar contrivances which they may consider best calculated for the display of their goods. Exhibitors will, however, be assisted in every way in setting up fittings.

     22. Exhibitors must be at the charge of insuring their own goods, should they des're this security. Every precaution will be taken to prevent fire, theft, or other losses; and the Promoters will give all the aid in their power for the legal prose- cution of any persons guilty of robbery or wilful injury in the Exhibition, but they will not be responsible for losses or damage of any kind which may be occasioned by fire, or theft, or in any other manner.

23. Exhibitors may employ assistants to keep in order the articles they exhibit, or to explain them to visitors, after obtaining written permission from the Promoters; but such assistants will be forbidden to invite visitors to purchase the goods of their employers.

28. Foreign and Colonial exhibitors should apply to the Commission, or other Central Authority appointed by the Foreign or Colonial Government, as soon as notice has been given of its appointment.

29. No articles of foreign manufacture, to whomsoever they may belong, or wheresoever they may be, can be admitted for exhibition except with the sanction of the Central Exhibition Authority of the country of which they are the produce. The Promoters or the London or New York Commission respectively will communicate to such Central Authority the amount of space which can be allowed to the productions of the country for which it acts, and will also state the further conditions and limitations which may, from time to time, be decided on with respect to the admission of articles. All articles forwarded by such Central Authority will be admitted, provided they do not require a greater aggregate amount of space than that assigned to the country from which they come; and provided also that they do not violate the general conditions and limitations. It will rest with the Central Authority in cach country to decide upon the merits of the several articles presented for exhibition, and to take care that those which are sent are such as fairly represent the Industry of their fellow-countrymen. 30. Separate space will be allotted to each Foreign Country, within which the Commissioners for that country will be at liberty to arrange the productions entrusted to them, in such manner as they think best, subject to the condition that all Machinery shall be exhibited in the portion of the Building specially devoted to that purpose, and all Pictures in the Fine Art Galleries, and to the observance of any general rules that may be laid down by the Promoters for public convenience.

31. By arrangements made with the Government of Bombay it is hoped that all Foreign or Colonial Goods intended for Exhibition sent and addressed in accordance with these regulations, will be admitted into the country, and allowed to be transmitted to the Exhibition Building without being previously opened, and without payment of any duty.

    32. Every article sent separately, and every package, must be legibly marked with the name of the foreign country or colony of which it is the produce or manufacture, and, as far as practicable, with the name of the exhibitor or exhibitors.

33. The following are the Forms of addresses which should be adopted;-

You will perceive that the Exhibition is fixed for the month of December in the present year.

I should be glad if the Colonists of Hongkong shall be able to avail themselves of the invitation of the Society, by which I understand them to desire the exhibition of such Fruit and Vegetables (being capable of transmission to this Country) as may either be characteristic of the Colony and not equally produceable in many other parts of the world, or which, from local advantages, may be produced with peculiar success in the Colony under your Government.--I have the honor to be, Sir, your most obedient humble servant,

The Officer Administering the Government of Hongkong.

Special attention is directed to the following rules and regulations which will be strictly enforced :-

AS REGARDS BOOKS.

24 cents.

A Book Packet may contain any number of separate Books, Almanacks, Maps or Prints, and any quantity of paper, vellum or parchment (to the exclusion of letters whether sealed or open); and the Books, Maps, Paper, &c., may be either printed, written or plain, or any mixture of the three.

      All legitimate binding, mounting, or covering of the same or of a portion thereof, will be allowed, whether such binding be loose or attached; as also rollers in the case of prints, markers (whether of paper or otherwise,) in the case of Books, and in short whatever is necessary for the safe transmission of literary or artistic matter or usually appertains thereto.

Every Book packet must be either without a cover, or in a cover open at the ends or sides.

It must not contain any letter, open or sealed, nor any sealed enclosure whatever.

No packet must exceed two feet in length, breadth or width, exceeding these dimensions it cannot be forwarded through

the Post.

AS REGARDS PATTERNS.

      They must not be of intrinsic value. This rule excludes all articles of a saleable nature, and indeed, whatever may have a value of its own, apart from its mere use as a pattern; and the quantity of any material sent ostensibly as a pattern must not be so great that it can fairly be considered as liaving on this ground an intrinsic value.

      There must be no writing or marks other than the address of the person for whom the packet is intended, a trade mark and numbers, and prices of the articles; otherwise the Packet will be detained or forwarded charged as an unpaid letter.

      The Patterns must be sent in covers open at the ends, so as to be easy of examination. Samples however, of seeds, drugs, and so forth, which cannot be sent in open covers, may be enclosed in bags of linen or other material, tied at the neck; bags so closed that they cannot readily be opened, even although they be transparent, must not be used for this purpose. Non-compliance with this rule will also subject the packet to be detained or forwarded as an unpaid letter.

The Packets or the contents thereof must not contain any inclosure, sealed or otherwise closed against inspection.

     In all other respects the general regulations of the Book Post between Hongkong and the United Kingdom will apply to the Pattern Post. Under these regulations, in order to prevent any interruption to the regular transmission of letters, a Packet of Patterns may, when it is necessary be kept back for the following Mail by which, in the ordinary course, it would

be forwarded.

     The decision of the Postmaster General as to the eligibility of any Packet, pattern, or sample contained therein, to be forwarded under these regulations, will be final and conclusive.

The rule which forbids the transmission through the Post of any article likely to injure the contents of the Mail Bags or Boxes, or the person of any Officer of the Post Office is, of course, applicable to the Pattern Post; and a packet containing saything of the kind will be stopped, and not sent to its destination. Articles such as the following have been occasionally tested as Patterns in the United Kingdom and have been detained as unfit for the Post, viz.: Metal boxes, porcelain and China, fruit, vegetables, bunches of flowers, cuttings of plants, spurs, knives, scissors, needles, pins, pieces of machinery, harp pointed instruments, samples of metals, samples of ore, samples in glass bottles, pieces of glass, acids of various kinds, curry combs, copper and steel engraving plates and confectionery of all kinds.

     SIR,-It is extremely desirable that every precaution that is legally practicable should be taken against communications between Foreigners and disaffected Chinese. You will therefore inform the Foochow authorities that you are directed to apport them in any measures they may adopt for the due surveillance of British vessels entering and leaving the port of Fochow, or other parts of the anchorage of Pagoda Island.

      You will further issue a Notification informing all Masters of British Vessels that, until further orders, they will be required both on entering and clearing out of port to hand into the British Consulate a return of the passengers on board or about to be shipped on board their vessels, and that the penalty of omitting to hand in such a report, or of handing in a false report, is declared in virtue of the powers vested in me, as Chief Superintendent of Trade for the time being, to be a fine not exceeding the sum of One Hundred dollars for each separate offence.

You will decide and notify within what number of hours after a vessel's arrival at Pagoda Island or off the City, also within what number of hours before departure from either Anchorage, the Passenger Return must be handed in. Small vessels descending the river ought to be boarded off Pagoda Island by a duly appointed employ? of the Chinese Government provided with a printed notice signed by yourself, to the effect that he is authorized to board the vessel; if necessary to search her for arms and men; and if he find matter of suspicion, to detain her until he can communicate with you. Your obedient Servant,

PEKING, 17th February, 1865.

     SIR,-It is extremely desirable that every precaution that is legally practicable should be taken against communications between Foreigners and disaffected Chinese. You will therefore inform the Foochow authorities that you are directed to apport them in any measures they may adopt for the due surveillance of British vessels entering and leaving the port of Fochow, or other parts of the anchorage of Pagoda Island.

      You will further issue a Notification informing all Masters of British Vessels that, until further orders, they will be required both on entering and clearing out of port to hand into the British Consulate a return of the passengers on board or about to be shipped on board their vessels, and that the penalty of omitting to hand in such a report, or of handing in a false report, is declared in virtue of the powers vested in me, as Chief Superintendent of Trade for the time being, to be a fine not exceeding the sum of One Hundred dollars for each separate offence.

You will decide and notify within what number of hours after a vessel's arrival at Pagoda Island or off the City, also within what number of hours before departure from either Anchorage, the Passenger Return must be handed in. Small vessels descending the river ought to be boarded off Pagoda Island by a duly appointed employ? of the Chinese Government provided with a printed notice signed by yourself, to the effect that he is authorized to board the vessel; if necessary to search her for arms and men; and if he find matter of suspicion, to detain her until he can communicate with you. Your obedient Servant,

I have been instructed in consequence, in concert with my colleague of Prussia, to invite the Government of Her Britannic Majesty to recognise this flag, and to be pleased to grant the necessary orders in order that it may be recognized in all the ports depending on the Crown of England, and by all the British naval authorities.

     The Imperial Government indulges in the hope that until the conclusion of fresh Treaties of Navigation with the definitive Government to be instituted in the Duchies, vessels sailing under the provisional national flag will enjoy the same rights and immunities which were granted to the ships of the Duchies of Holstein, Schleswig, and Lauenburg, before their separation from Denmark, in virtue of the Treatics of Commerce and Navigation existing with that kingdom.

      Le ballon est maintenant hiss? sur le m?t de pavillon du mont Hayes; on le laisse tomber ? 8 heures du matin et ? 1 heure fu soir, temps moyen de l'Ascension, qui correspondent ? 8h 57m 42 matin, et 1h 57m 42 soir, temps moyen de Greenwich.

Si la chute du ballon n'avait pas lieu exactement aux heures indiqu?es, on hisserait la flamme Non, et on laisserait tomber ballon de nouveau DIX MINUTES apr?s l'heure fix?e.

Cet avis modifie le plan no 1337 et le Manuel de la c?te occidentale d'Afrique, tome III, p. 171.

NOUVEAU BANC AU MOUILLAGE DE SAINTE-Anne, Mah?, l'une DES S?CHELLES.

Le Commandant Tricaut, de la Junon, signale une basse ou haut-fond dans le mouillage de Sainte-Anne, ?le Mah?, S?chelles. Il y a dessus 8 m?tres de fond en mortes eaux, fond de corail in?gal, et certainement des t?tes de 7 m?tres aux asses mers extr?mes. Angles: pointe Sud de Sainte-Anne ? pointe Ouest de l'?le du Cerf, 45°; pointe Ouest de l'?le du Cerf l'?glise protestante de Mah?, 73° 20′; ?glise protestante de Mah? ? pointe Nord de Mah?, 74°-Son accore Est se trouve ? la rencontre des deux alignements suivants: saillant Nord par saillant Nord-Nord-Ouest de Sainte-Anne; sommet de l'?le Longue par pointe Sud de Sainte-Anne. Tout aupr?s de cette basse, dans l'Est, il y a 18 m?tres de fond.

ROCHER FISHERMAN, DANS LE D?TROIT DE SIMONOSEKI.

      Le Commandant de la corvette anglaise Barossa signale un rocher dangereux, situ? ? 150 m?tres seulement au Nord de Is route recommand?e sur les cartes du d?troit de Simonoseki. Ce rocher n'a que 110 m?tres de longueur du Nord-Ouest au Sud-Est, avec des fonds de 12 ? son extr?mit? Sud, et de 3m6 ? son extr?mit? Nord, aux basses mers des grandes mar?es. Entre les t?tes du Nord et du Sud il y a un creux de 91. L'extr?mit? Sud de ce danger pr?sente 2 blocs carr?s de 10 m?tres de surface, mais il n'a que 18 de farge entre ses c?t?s Ouest, Sud et Est. A une longueur de canot de la t?te de 3TM6, on trouve 18 m?tres fond de sable. ?tant sur ce danger, on a relev? Moze-Saki, S. 62° 0.; Isaki, S. 68° E.; Kusi-Saki, N. 35° E.; pointe Sud de Manziu, N. 61° E. On en passe au Nord en tenant la douane de Simonoseki par la pointe Moze-Saki.

Ce danger, et d'autres signal?s par les pilotes, ainsi que les courants rapides qu'on y rencontre, rendent le canal du Nord dangereux; on recommande aussi de prendre celui du Sud, qui prolonge Kiusu, et dans lequel les courants sont moins rapides.- Portez ce rocher sur le plan no 2118.

SIR,I have the honour to acquaint you that, in the existing state of the Civil War in America and the uncertainty hich may be felt as to its continuance, it appears to Her Majesty's Government that the time has arrived for ceasing to force so much of the Orders which, in pursuance of my letter of the 31st of January, 1862, were issued by the several partments of Her Majesty's Government, as empowered the authorities of any Port belonging to Her Majesty, either in e United Kingdom or in the Channel Islands, or in any of Her Majesty's Colonies, or Foreign Possessions or Dependencies, require any Ship of War or Privateer of either Belligerent which might enter any Port, Roadstead or Waters belonging to Her Majesty, in order to obtain provisions or things necessary for the subsistence of her crew, or to effect repairs, to put to as soon as possible after the expiration of a period of twenty-four hours, without permitting her to take in supplies beyond what might be necessary for her inmediate use; and not to suffer any such vessel as might have been allowed to remain thin British Waters for the purpose of repair, to continue in any Port, Roadstead or Waters belonging to Her Majesty, for 1 longer period than twenty-four hours after her necessary repairs should have been completed, and also so much of the same lers as limited the quantity of coal and the period within which it might be obtained, to be embarked on board any such chip of War or Privateer of either Belligerent.

I have addressed a similar letter to the Secretaries of State for the Home, War, and India Departments, to the Lords Commissioners of Her Majesty's Treasury, and to the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty.-I have &c.,

   Vessels approaching the Alguada Reef will still find it necessary to be careful. The tides, when uninfluenced by the wind, set across the Reef, and with a good deal of strength between the Reef and the Phaeton Shoal. Vessels, therefore, should not come under 20 fathoms on the North-Western side, as the water shoals suddenly on this side, especially towards the South-West part of the rocks.

Fifteen fathoms will be a safe depth to pass in on the southern and eastern sides.

There is a good channel to the North of the Reef, between it and the Phaeton Shoal; but the navigation must always be attended with some risk to those unacquainted with it, there being no plain marks that can be specified as a safe and sure guide through. Should, however, circumstances compel a vessel to go through the Northern Channel, it will be well to borrow on the Alguada Reef side, passing about half a mile distant from the North-Eastern most visible rock, and not coming under 11 fathoms. Should it be high water, the breakers will show the rocks.

   On the eastern side of the Reef, vessels may know they are clear of danger by keeping the high land off Heingyee (or Negrais Island) well open to the eastward of Diamond Island.

Should it be high water, the breakers will show the rocks.

   On the eastern side of the Reef, vessels may know they are clear of danger by keeping the high land off Heingyee (or Negrais Island) well open to the eastward of Diamond Island.

     SIR,-I transmit to you herewith copies of a Judgment which has been recently delivered by the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council in the case of the Bishop of Natal.

The questions raised by this Judgment are under the careful consideration of Her Majesty's Government, but it has appeared to me desirable that the Ecclesiastical Authorities of the Church of England in all the British Colonies should be in ssession of a Copy of the Judgment, which has so important a bearing on the Status of many Colonial Bishops.-I have the bonor to be, Sir, Your most obedient humble Servant,

Case of the Bishop of Natal.

Judgment of the Lords of the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council upon the Petition of the Lord Bishop of Natal, referred to the Judicial Committee by Her Majesty's Order in Council of the 10th June, 1864; delivered 20th March,

1865.

Present:

LORD CHANCELLOR.

LORD CRANWORTH.

LORD KINGSDOWN.

DEAN OF THE ARCHES. MASTER OF THE ROLLS.

The Bishop of Natal and the Bishop of Cape Town (who are the parties to this proceeding) are ecclesiastical Persons who have been created Bishops by the Queen, in the exercise of her authority as Sovereign of this realm and Head of the Established Church.

    These Bishops were consecrated under Mandate from the Queen by the Archbishop of Canterbury, in the manner prescribed by the law of England.

    They received and hold their dioceses under grants made by the Crown. Their status, therefore, both ecclesiastical and temporal, must be ascertained and defined by the law of England; and it is plain that their legal existence depends on acts which have no validity or effect, except on the basis of the Supremacy of the Crown.

Further, their respective and relative rights and liabilities must be determined by the principles of English law applied the construction of the grants to them contained in the Letters-Patent; for they are the creatures of English law, and ependent on that law for their existence, rights, and attributes.

We must treat the parties before us as standing on this foundation, and on no other.

The Letters-Patent by which Dr. Gray was appointed Bishop of Cape Town and also Metropolitan, passed the Great Seal the 8th December, 1853. These Letters-Patent recited, among other things, that it had "been represented to Her Majesty y the Archbishop of Canterbury that the then existing see or diocese of Cape Town was of inconvenient extent, and that for due spiritual care and superintendence of the religious interests of the inhabitants thereof, and for the maintenance of the trine and discipline of the United Church of England and Ireland within the Colony of the Cape of Good Hope and its

dependencies, and the Island of Saint Helena, it was desirable and expedient that the same should be divided into three (o more) distinct and separate sees or dioceses, to be styled the Bishopric of Cape Town, the Bishopric of Graham's Town, an! the Bishopric of Natal--the Bishops of the said several sees of Graham's Town and Natal and their successors to be subject and subordinate to the See of Cape Town and to the Bishop thereof and his successors, in the same manner as any

bishop of any see within the Province of Canterbury was under the authority of the Archiepiscopal See of that province and the Arch- bishop of the same;" and the Letters-Patent contained the following passages:-

      And we do further will and ordain that the said Right Reverend Father in God, Robert Gray, Bishop of the said Sea of Cape Town, and his successors the Bishops thereof for the time being, shall be and be deemed and taken to be the Metropolitan Bishop in our Colony of the Cape of Good Hope and its dependencies, and our Island of Saint Helena, subject nevertheless to the general superintendence and revision of the Archbishop of Canterbury for the time being, and subordinat to the Archiepiscopal See of the Province of Canterbury: and we will and ordain that the said Bishops of Graham's Town and Natal respectively shall be Suffragan Bishops to the said Bishop of Cape Town and his successors.

And we will and grant to the said Bishop of Cape Town and his successors full power and authority as Metropolitan of the Cape of Good Hope. and of the Island of Saint Helena, to perform all functions peculiar and appropriate to the office of Metropolitan within the limits of the said Sees of Graham's Town and Natal, and to exercise Metropolitan jurisdiction over the Bishops of the said Sees and their successors, and over all archdeacons, dignitaries, and all other chaplains, ministers, priests, and deacons in holv orders of the United Church of England and Ireland within the limits of the said dioceses. And we do by these presents give and grant unto the said Bishop of Cape Town and his successors full power and authority to visit once in five years, or oftener if occasion shall require, as well the said several Bishops and their successors, as all dignitaries and other chaplains, ministers, priests and deacons in holy orders of the United Church of England and Ireland resident in the said dioceses, for correcting and supplying the defects of the said Bishops and their successors, with all and all manner of visitorial jurisdiction, power, and coercion.

"And we do hereby authorize and empower the said Bishop of Cape Town and his successors to inhibit during any such visitation of the said dioceses the exercise of all or of such part or parts of the ordinary jurisdiction of the said Bishops or their successors as to him the said Bishop of Cape Town or his successors shall seem expedient, and during the time of such visitation to exercise by himself or themselves, or his or their commissaries, such powers, functions and jurisdictions in ant over the said dioceses as the Bishops thereof might have exercised if they had not been inhibited from exercising the same.

     "And we do further ordain and declare that if any person against whom a judgment or decree shall be pronounced by the said Bishops or their successors, or their commissary or commissaries shall conceive himself to be aggrieved by such sentence, it shall be lawful for such person to appeal to the said Bishop of Cape Town or his successors, provided such appeal be entered within fifteen days after such sentence shall have been pronounced.

     "And we do give and grant to the said Bishop of Cape Town and his successors full power and authority finally to decree and determine the said appeals.

66

     "And we do further will and ordain that in case any proceedings shall be instituted against any of the said Bishops of Graham's Town and Natal, when placed under the said Metropolitical See of Cape Town, such proceedings shall originate and be carried on before the said Bishop of Cape Town, whom we hereby authorize and direct to take cognizance of the same.

And if any party shall conceive himself aggrieved by any judgment, decree, or sentence pronounced by the said Bishop of Cape Town or his successors, either in case of such review or in any canse originally instituted before the said Bishop or his successors, it shall be lawful for the said party to appeal to the said Archbishop of Canterbury or his successors, who shall finally decide and determine the said appeal."

The Letters-Patent which constituted the See of Natal and appointed the Appellant to that See, were sealed, and bear date on the 23rd November, 1853, fifteen days before the grant of the Letters-Patent to the Bishop of Cape Town.

The Letters-Patent creating the See of Natal recited the Patent of September, 1847, which created the original Diocese of Cape Town, and appointed Dr. Gray the Bishop thereof, and that he had since resigned the office of Bishop of Cape Town, whereby the said See had become and was then vacant. The Patent also recited that it was expedient and desirable that the said diocese should be divided into three or more distinct and separate dioceses, to be styled the Bishoprics of Cape Town, Graham's Town, and Natal, the Bishops of the said several Sees of Graham's Town and Natal to be subject and subordinate to the See of Cape Town, and the Bishop thereof, and his successors, in the same manner as any Bishop of any See within the Province of Canterbury was under the authority of the Archiepiscopal See of that Province and the Archbishop of the same; and the Letters-Patent proceeded to erect, found, make, ordain, and constitute the district of Natal, to be a distinct and separate Bishop's See and Diocese, to be called the Bishopric of Natal. And after appointing Dr. Colenso to be the Bishop of the said Sce, and granting that the said Bishop of Natal and his successors should be a body corporate, the Letters- Patent contained the following passage:-

     "And we do further ordain and declare that the said Bishop of Natal and his successors shall be subject and subordinate to the See of Cape Town, and to the Bishop thereof and his successors, in the same manner as any Bishop of any See within the Province of Canterbury, in our Kingdom of England, is under the authority of the Archiepiscopal See of that Province, and of the Archbishop of the same: and we do hereby further will and ordain that the said John William Colenso, and every Bishop of Natal, shall, within six months after the date of their respective Letters-Patent, take an oath of due obedience to the Bishop of Cape Town for the time being, as his Metropolitan, which oath shall and may be ministered unto him by the said Archbishop, or by any person by him duly appointed or authorized for that purpose.”

The Letters-Patent then proceeded to confer on the Bishop of Natal and his successors Episcopal jurisdiction and authe rity over all rectors, curates, ministers, chaplains, priests, and deacons within the diocese, and directed that, if any party should conceive himself aggrieved by any judgment, decree, or sentence pronounced by the Bishop of Natal or his successors, lie should have an appeal to the Bishop of Cape Town, who should finally decide and determine the appeal.

Under these Letters-Patent, the Appellant was consecrated on the 30th November, 1853, and he took an oath of canonic obedience to the Metropolitan Bishop of Cape Town, which oath was administered to him by the Archbishop of Canterbury, and was in these words:-"I, John William Colenso, Doctor in Divinity, appointed Bishop of the See and Diocese of Nata do profess and promise all due reverence and obedience to the Metropolitan Bishop of Cape Town and to his successors, and to the Metropolitan Church of St. George, Cape Town." At this time there was not in reality any Metropolitan See of Cap Town, or any Bishop thereof, in existence.

     These several Letters-Patent were not granted in pursuance of any Orders or Order made by Her Majesty in Council, ne were they made by virtue of any statute of the Imperial Parliament, nor were they confirmed by any Act of the Legislature of the Cape of Good Hope or of the Legislative Council of Natal.

     Previously to these Letters-Patent being granted the District of Natal had been erected into a distinct and separa”- Government; and, by Letters-Patent granted by the Crown in 1847, it was ordained that it should have a Legislative Coun which should have power to make such laws and ordinances as might be required for the peace, order, and good governmen of the district. With respect to the Cape of Good Hope, by Letters-Patent dated 23rd May, 1850, it was declared a ordained by Her Majesty that there should be within the Settlement of the Cape of Good Hope a Parliament, which should le hoiden by the Governor, and should consist of the Governor, a Legislative Council, and a House of Assembly, and that sus Parliament should have authority to make laws for the peace, welfare, and good government of the settlement.

In the year 1863, ?ertain charges of heresy and false doctrine were preferred against the Appellant before the Bishop Cape Town as Metropolitan, and, upon these charges, the Bishop of Cape Town, claiming to exercise jurisdiction as Metrot litan, did, on the 16th day of December, 1863, sentence, adjudge, and decree the Appellant, the Bishop of Natal, to be depos

is office as such Bishop, and to be further prohibited from the exercise of any Divine office within any part of the politan Province of Cape Town. In pronouncing this Decree, the Bishop of Cape Town claimed to exercise jurisdiction Metropolitan by virtue of his Letters-Patent, and of the office thereby conferred on him, and as having thereby acquired

authority to try and condemn the Appellant; and the Appellant protested against such assumption of jurisdiction. This Sentence and Decree of Dr. Gray as Metropolitan has been published and promulgated in the Diocese of Natal, and Clergy of that Diocese have been thereby prohibited from yielding obedience to the Appellant as Bishop of Natal.

In this state of things three principal questions arise, and have been argued before us:-First, Were the Letters-Patent the Sth December, 1853, by which Dr. Gray was appointed Metropolitan, and a Metropolitan See or Province was expressed be created, valid and good in law? Secondly, Supposing the ecclesiastical relation of Metropolitan and Suffragan to have was the grant of coercive authority and jurisdiction expressed by the Letters-Patent to be thereby made to the a created,

opolitan valid and good in law? Thirdly, Can the oath of canonical obedience taken by the Appellant to the Bishop of Town, and his consent to accept his see as part of the Metropolitan Province of Cape Town, confer any jurisdiction or thority on the Bishop of Cape Town by which this sentence of deprivation of the Bishopric of Natal can be supported?

With respect to the first question, we apprehend it to be clear, upon principle, that after the establishment of an indepen- t Legislature in the Settlements of the Cape of Good Hope and Natal, there was no power in the Crown by virtue of its rerogative (for these Letters-Patent were not granted under the provisions of any Statute) to establish a Metropolitan See Province, or to create an Ecclesiastical Corporation whose status, rights, and authority the Colony could be required to recognize.

After a Colony or Settlement has received legislative institutions the Crown (subject to the special provisions of any Act Parliament) stands in the same relation to that Colony or Settlement as it does to the United Kingdom.

It

may

be true that the Crown as legal Head of the Church has a right to command the consecration of a Bishop, but it as no power to assign him any diocese, or give him any sphere of action within the United Kingdom. The United Church England and Ireland is not a part of the Constitution in any Colonial Settlement, nor can its authorities or those who bear ce in it claim to be recognized by the law of the Colony, otherwise than as the members of a voluntary association.

The course which legislation has taken on this subject is a strong proof of the correctness of these conclusions. In the ear 1813 it was deemed expedient to establish a Bishopric in the East Indies (then under the Government of the East India Company), and although the Bishop was appointed and consecrated under the authority of the Crown, yet it was thought cessary to obtain the sanction of the Legislature and that an Act of Parliament should be passed to give the Bishop legal atus and authority. Accordingly by Statute 53 Geo. III, c. 155, sec. 49, it was enacted that in case it should please His Majesty by His Royal Letters-Patent to erect, found, and constitute one Bishopric for the whole of the British territories in East Indies and parts therein mentioned, a certain salary should be paid to the Bishop by the East India Company, and br the 51st and 52nd sections it was enacted that such Bishop should not have or use any jurisdiction, or exercise any episcopal functions whatsoever but such as should be limited to him by Letters-Patent, and that it should be lawful for His Majesty by Letters-Patent to grant to such Bishop such ecclesiastical jurisdiction and the exercise of such episcopal functions within the East Indies and parts aforesaid as His Majesty should think necessary for administering holy ceremonies, and for the superin- endence and good government of the ministers of the Church Establishment within the East Indies and parts aforesaid. Subsequently, in the year 1833, it was deemed right to found two additional Bishoprics, one at Madras and the other at Bombay, and again an Act of Parliament (3 and 4 Win. IV, c. 86) was passed, by the 93rd section of which it was enacted in like manner that the Crown should have power to grant to such Bishops within their dioceses ecclesiastical jurisdiction ; ad it was also enacted and declared that the Bishop of Calcutta should be Metropolitan in India, and should have as such all ech jurisdiction as the Crown should by Letters-Patent direct, subject, nevertheless, to the general superintendence and revision of the Archbishop of Canterbury; and it was provided that the Bishops of Madras and Bombay should be subject to the Bishop of Calcutta as Metropolitan, and should take an oath of canonical obedience to him.

    So again when in 1824 a Bishop was appointed in Jamaica by Letters-Patent containing clauses similar to those which are found in the Letters-Patent to the present Appellant, it was thought necessary that the legal status and authority of the Bishop should be confirmed and established by an Act of the Colonial Legislature. The consent of the Crown was given to This Colonial Act, which would have been an improper thing, as an injury to the Crown's Prerogative, unless the Law Advisers of the Government had been satisfied that the Colonial Statute was necessary to give full effect to the establishment of the

Bishopric.

    The conclusion is further confirmed by observing the course of Imperial legislation on the same subject, namely, the creation of new Bishoprics in England.

When four new Bishoprics were constituted by Henry VIII, it appears to have been thought necessary, even by that solute Monarch, to have recourse to the authority of Parliament, and the Act that was passed (viz., the 31 Henry VIII, cip. 9, which is not found in the ordinary edition) is of a singular character. After referring to the slothful and ungodly life which had been used among all those which bore the name of religious folk, and reciting that it was thought, therefore, unto the King's Highness most expedient and necessary that inore Bishoprics, Collegiate and Cathedral Churches should be established, was enacted that His Highness should have full power and authority from time to time to declare and nominate by His Letters- Patent or other writing to be made under his Great Seal, such number of Bishops, such number of Cities, Sees for Bishops, Cathedral Churches and Dioceses by metes and bounds, for the exercise and ministration of their episcopal offices and administration as shall appertain, and to endow them with such possessions after such manner, form, and condition as to his most excellent wisdom shall be thought necessary and convenient.

This Statute, which was repealed by the 1st and 2nd of Philip and Mary, cap. 8, sec. 18, does not appear to have been revived. It is remarkable as granting power to nominate and appoint new Bishops as well as to create new Sees and Dioceses. So also in recent times the two new Bishoprics of Manchester and Ripon were constituted, and the new Bishops received lesiastical jurisdiction under the authority of an Act of Parliament. It is true that it has been the practice, for many years, insert in Letters-Patent creating Colonial Bishoprics, clauses which purport to confer ecclesiastical jurisdiction; but the of such Letters-Patent were probably taken by the official persons who prepared them from the original forms used in Letters-Patent appointing the East Indian Bishops, without adverting to the fact that such last-mentioned Letters-Patent

granted under the provisions of an Act of Parliament,

mms

We therefore arrive at the conclusion that although in a Crown Colony, properly so called, or in cases where the Letters- ert are made in pursuance of the authority of an Act of Parliament (such for example as the Act of 6 & 7 Vict., cap. 13), Bishopric may be constituted and ecclesiastical jurisdiction conferred by the sole authority of the Crown, yet that the Letters

ent of the Crown will not have any such effect or operation in a Colony or Settlement which is possessed of an independent

slature.

  The subject was considered by the Judicial Committee in the case of Long v. the Bishop of Cape Town, and we adhere the principles which are there laid down.

The same reasoning is of course decisive of the second question, whether any jurisdiction was conferred by the Letters- nt. Let it be granted or assumed that the Letters-Patent are sufficient in law to confer on Dr. Gray the ecclesiastical s of Metropolitan, and to create between him and the Bishops of Natal and Graham's Town the personal relation of tropolitan and Suffragan as ecclesiastics, yet it is quite clear that the Crown had no power to confer any jurisdiction or

eive legal authority upon the Metropolitan over the Suffragan Bishops, or over any other person.

It is a settled constitutional principle or rule of law, that although the Crown may by its Prerogative establish Courts to ed according to the Common Law, yet that it cannot create any new Court to administer any other law; and it is laid

418

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 15TH JULY, 1865.

down by Lord Coke in the 4th Institute that the erection of a new Court with a new jurisdiction cannot be without an Acte

Parliament.

    It cannot be said that any ecclesiastical tribunal or jurisdiction is required in any Colony or Settlement where there is n Established Church, and in the case of a settled Colony the Ecclesiastical Law of England cannot, for the same reason, treated as part of the law which the settlers carried with them from the mother country.

    So much of the Letters-Patent now in question as attempts to confer any coercive legal jurisdiction is also in violation the law as declared and established by that part of the Act of the 16 Car. I, c. 11, which remains unrepealed by the 13 Car. II, st. 2, c. 12. It may be useful to state this in detail. By the 16th and 17th sections of the 1 Eliz. c. 1. entitled “An A for restoring to the Crown the ancient Jurisdiction over the State Ecclesiastical and Spiritual, and abolishing all Forei Power repugnant to the same," it was enacted that all usurped and foreign power and authority, spiritual and tempor should for ever be extinguished within the Realm, and that such jurisdictions, privileges, superiorities, and pre-eminences. spiritual and ecclesiastical, as by any spiritual or ecclesiastical power or authority had theretofore been or might lawfully exercised or used for the visitation of the ecclesiastical state and persons, and for reformation, order, and correction of the same, and of all manner of heresies, schisms, abuses, offences, contempts, and enormities should for ever be united and annexel to the Imperial Crown of this realm. And by the 18th section the Queen was empowered by Letters-Patent to appoint persons to exercise, occupy, use and execute all manner of spiritual or ecclesiastical jurisdiction within the realms of England and Ireland, or any other the dominions and countries of the Crown.

Under this Statute the High Commission Court was erected, which was abolished by the 16th Car. I, c. 10.

By the Act of the 16 Car. I, c. 11, the 18th section of the 1 Eliz., c. 1, was wholly repealed, and by the 4th section of the same Statute all spiritual and ecclesiastical persons or judges were forbidden under severe penalties to exercise any jurisdiction or coercive legal authority, an enactment which closed all the regular established ecclesiastical tribunals; but by the 13 Car II, c. 12, the ordinary ecclesiastical jurisdiction and authority, as it existed before the year 1639, was with certain savings restored to the Archbishops and Bishops; and the Act of the 16 Car. I, excepting what concerned the High Commission Court or the erection of any such like Court by Commission, was repealed, but with a proviso that nothing should extend or be construed to revive or give force to the enactments contained in the 18th section of the I Eliz., c. 1, which should remain and stand repealed.

new or additional ecclesiastical tribunal or jurisdiction, and the

in the Crown to create power

      There is therefore no clauses which purport to do so, contained in the Letters-Patent to the Appellant and Respondent, are simply void in law. No Metropolitan or Bishop in any Colony having legislative institutions can, by virtue of the Crown's Letters-Patent alone (unless granted under an Act of Parliament, or confirmed by a Colonial Statute), exercise any coercive jurisdiction, or hold any Court or Tribunal for that purpose.

     Pastoral or spiritual authority may be incidental to the office of Bishop, but all jurisdiction in the Church, where it can be lawfully conferred, must proceed from the Crown, and be exercised as the law directs, and suspension or privation of office is matter of coercive legal jurisdiction, and not of mere spiritual authority.

3. If, then, the Bishop of Cape Town had no jurisdiction by law, did he obtain any by contract or submission on the part of the Bishop of Natal?

    There is nothing on which such an argument can be attempted to be put, unless it be the oath of canonical obedience, taken by the Bishop of Natal to Dr. Gray as Metropolitan.

    The argument must be, that both parties being aware that the Bishop of Cape Town had no jurisdiction or legal authority as Metropolitan, the Appellant agreed to give it to him by voluntary submission.

But even if the parties intended to enter into any such agreement (of which, however, we find no trace), it was not legally competent to the Bishop of Natal to give, or to the Bishop of Cape Town to accept or exercise, any such jurisdiction. There remains one point to be considered. It was contended before us that if the Bishop of Cape Town had no jurisdiction, his judgment was a nullity, and that no appeal could lie from a nullity to Her Majesty in Council.

But that is by no means the consequence of holding that the Respondent had no jurisdiction. The Bishop of Cape Town, acting under the authority which the Queen's Letters-Patent purported to give, asserts that he has held a Court of Justice, and that with certain legal forms he has pronounced a judicial sentence, and that by such sentence he has deposed the Bishop of Natal from his office of Bishop, and deprived him of his see. He also asserts that the sentence having been published in the Diocese of Natal, the clergy and inhabitants of that diocese are thereby deprived of all Episcopal superintendence. Whether these proceedings have the effect which is attributed to them by the Bishop of Cape Town, is a question of the greatest importance, and one which we feel bound to decide. We have already shown that there was no power to confer any jurisdiction on the Respondent as Metropolitan. The attempt to give Appellate jurisdiction to the Archbishop of Canterbury is equally

invalid.

This important question can be decided only by the Sovereign as Head of the Established Church and depositary of the ultimate Appellate jurisdiction.

Before the Reformation, in a dispute of this nature between two independent prelates, an appeal would have lain to the Pope; but all appellate authority of the Pope over members of the Established Church is by Statute vested in the Crown.

    It is the settled prerogative of the Crown to receive Appeals in all Colonial causes, and by the 25 Henry VIII, c. 19 (by which the mode of the Appeal to the Crown in Ecclesiastical Causes is directed), it is by the 4th section enacted, that "for lack of justice at or in any of the Courts of the Archbishops of this Realm, or in any of the King's dominions, it shall be lawful to the parties grieved to appeal to the King's Majesty in the Court of Chancery," an enactment which gave rise to the Commission of Delegates, for which this Tribunal is now substituted.

     Unless a controversy, such as that which is presented by this Appeal and Petition, falls to be determined by the ultimate jurisdiction of the Crown, it is plain that there would be a denial of justice, and no remedy for great public inconvenience and mischief. It is right to add, although unnecessary, that by the Act 3 and 4 Wm. IV, cap. 41, which constituted this Tribuna!, Her Majesty has power to refer to the Judicial Committee for hearing or consideration any such other matters whatsoever as Her Majesty shall think fit, and this Committee is thereupon to hear or consider the same, and to advise Her Majesty thereon: and that on the 10th June, 1864, it was ordered by Her Majesty in Council that the Petition and Supplemental Petition the Appellant should be, and the same were, thereby referred to this Committee to hear the same and report their opinion thereupon to Her Majesty.

    Their Lordships, therefore, will humbly report to Her Majesty their judgment and opinion that the proceedings taken i the Bishop of Cape Town, and the judgment or sentence pronounced by him against the Bishop of Natal, are null and vo in law.

The following Circular Despatch from The Right Honorable The SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE COLONIES, announcing the recognition on the part of Her Majesty's Government of the restoration of peace within the territory of the United States, and defining the course to be adopted towards Confederate Vessels of War, is published for general information.

By Order,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 1st August, 1865.

W. H. ALEXANDER, Acting Colonial Secretary.

CIRCULAR.

DOWNING STREET, 3rd June, 1865.

SIR,-I transmit to you herewith, for your information and guidance, Copy of a Letter from Earl Russell, announcing that Her Majesty's Government recognize that peace has been restored within the territory of the United States, and defining the course to be adopted in consequence towards Confederate Vessels in British Waters.--I have the honor to be, Sir, Your most obedient humble Servant,

The Officer Administering the Government of Hongkong.

EDWARD CARDWELL.

Earl Russell to Mr. Cardwell."

FOREIGN OFFICE, June 2, 1865.

SIR,

         I have the honour to state to you that since the date of my letter of the 11th ultimo intelligence has reached this country that the late President of the so-called Confederate States has been captured by the military forces of the United States, and has been transported as a prisoner to Fort Monroe, and that the armies hitherto kept in the field by the Confederate States have for the most part surrendered or dispersed.

In this posture of affairs Her Majesty's Government are of opinion that neutral nations cannot but consider the civil war in North America as at an end.

In conformity with this opinion Her Majesty's Government recognize that peace has been restored within the whole territory of which the United States of North America before the commencement of the civil war were in undisturbed possession.

As a necessary consequence of such recognition on the part of Her Majesty's Government, Her Majesty's several authorities in all ports, harbours, and waters belonging to Her Majesty, whether in the United Kingdom or beyond the seas, must henceforth refuse permission to any vessel of war carrying a Confederate flag to enter any such ports, harbours, and? waters; and must require any Confederate vessels of war which, at the time when these orders reach Her Majesty's authorities such ports, harbours, and waters may have already entered therein on the faith of Proclamations heretofore issued by Her Majesty, and which, having complied with the provisions of such Proclamations, may be actually within such ports, harbours, and waters, forthwith to depart from them. ?

But Her Majesty's Government consider that a due regard for national good faith and honour requires that Her Majesty's authorities should be instructed, as regards any such Confederate vessels so departing, that they should have the benefit of the prohibition heretofore enforced against pursuit of them within twenty-four hours by a cruizer of the United States lying at the time within any such ports, harbours, and waters, and that such prohibition should be then and for the last time maintained in their favour.?

      If, however, the Commander of any Confederate vessel of war which may be found in any port, harbour, or waters of Her Majesty's dominions at the time these new orders are received by Her Majesty's authorities, or may enter such port, barbour,

or waters, within a month after these new orders are received, should wish to divest his vessel of her warlike character, and, after disarming her, to remain without a Confederate flag within British waters, Her Majesty's authorities may allow the Commander of such vessel to do so at his own risk in all respects, in which case he should be distinctly apprised that he is to expect no further protection from Her Majesty's Government, except such as he may be entitled to in the ordinary course of the administration of the law in time of peace.

* Similar letters were addressed to the Home Office, War Office, Treasury, Admiralty, and India Office.

436

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 5?? AUGUST, 1865.

The rule as to twenty-four hours would of course not be applicable to the case of such vessel.

I have addressed a similar letter to the Secretaries of State for the Home, India, and War Offices, and also to the Lord Commissioners of Her Majesty's Treasury and the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, requesting them, as I do you, t issue instructions in conformity with the decision of Her Majesty's Government to the several British authorities at home or abroad who may be called upon to act in the matter.-I am, &c.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.

     The subjoined Notification issued by the Nanhai Magistrate at Canton having reference to the seizure of some Colored Glassware imported from Hongkong is published for general information.

By Order,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 19th August, 1865.

W. H. ALEXANDER, Acting Colonial Secretary.

Proclamation by Wv, Magistrate of the Nanhai district, &c., &c.

Dated Canton, August 1st, 1865.

      Whereas the purchase of Saltpetre from unlicensed sources and the illicit manufacture of Glassware in Chinese territory have long been prohibited by the laws, and persons offending have been liable to arrest, it has, on the other hand, been customary of late years for merchants to import Glassware of foreign manufacture from Hongkong, and such merchandize having been reported to the Maritime Customs for examination and payment of duty, comes thereupon under the head of duty-paid Imports, which must be permitted to be sold in accordance with the treaties regulating foreign trade, and can by no means be classed with the Glassware illicitly manufactured in the interior of China. In the apprehension lest the Saltpetre monopolists or others should not properly recognize the distinction, and should proceed to make unauthorized seizures, thereby giving rise to difficulties, this Proclamation is now issued: and the Saltpetre monopolists and the public in general are hereby cailed upon to take notice that for the future Glassware as well as other articles of foreign manufacture, if actually imported from Hongkong and reported to the Customs for payment of duty, is not to be designated as illicit Merchandize or made subject to unauthorized seizure. In the case of individuals clandestinely visiting the country districts, and dealing in Saltpetre which has not been derived from licensed sources, or illegally Manufacturing Glassware in Chinese territory, thereby violating the established regulations with intent to defraud, the former prohibitions are still to be maintained and offenders will render themselves liable to be brought to justice. Should any persons venture to disregard this prohibition they shall without fail be visited with stringent chastisement.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.

VOL. XI.

     Official publicity having been given to the Minutes and finding of a Naval Court holden at Shanghai on the 25th Ultimo to enquire into the loss of the British steamer Fohkien, and an imputation being cast on this Government in the concluding paragraph of such finding, His Excellency the ACTING GOVERNOR directs the publication of the correspondence which has necessarily resulted.

Surprise is expressed by the Court "at the Hongkong Authorities permitting a British vessel to "continually leave that port without such certificated Officer."

     In this the Court was manifestly ignorant of the provisions of the Merchant Shipping Act 1854 under which it sat, and from which alone it derived its authority.

The point as to the requisition of Certificates from Officers of the Mercantile Marine serving in British Ships on the Coast of China is conclusively settled by a Despatch from the Board of Trade lated 18th December, 1863, and published in the Hongkong Government Gazette of 12th March, 1864. The last paragraph of that Despatch will be found on reference to the Gazette to run thus: "Lastly I am to point out that the Imperial Act requiring the production of Certificates applies only "to Vessels entering or leaving Ports in the United Kingdom, and that consequently there is nothing in that Act to prevent a Vessel clearing from one Port in the East to another with a Master who does not possess a Certificate."

But the Legislature of Hongkong has supplemented the action of the Imperial Parliament as far lay in its power and while it could not interfere with the provision above quoted, it has by section 5 of Ordinance 1 of 1862 given Vessels requiring change of Master the same protection as is given by the Imperial Act to those belonging to the United Kingdom.

Thus while it necessarily passes by all Ships navigated as the Merchant Shipping Act requires, it insists on Certificate of Service or Competency whenever the special action of the Harbor Master of Hongkong is called for in putting the name of a new Master or Mate on the Ship's Register.

In this case of the Folkien it will be noticed that the naine of "W. O. JOHNSON" was in Hongkong refused inscription on the Register on the ground of want of Certificate, and that on arrival at Shanghai the Consular Officer there placed W. O. JOHNSON's name on the Register, from which it was not competent for the Authorities of the Colony to remove it on the Vessel's return.

In so doing the Consular Officer acted in perfect accordance with the Merchant Shipping Act 1854 as above shown, but it is singular that the Consular Officer who formed one of the Court was nacquainted with the facts as above stated, and that all the Members affixed their signatures to a inding which affects to censure this Government for not doing what it could not do, and ignores the fact hat the Hongkong Legislature has taken all the means in its power to prevent vessels sailing without certificated Officers.

In Hongkong W. O. JOHNSON was refused command of the Folkien; in Shanghai he was made and lawfully made Master of that Ship. Having been so made it was not in the power of the Hongkong Authorities to interfere with the arrangement.

The conduct of the Naval Court is the less excusable as it appears that their error was pointed out to them, and that they notwithstanding gave it Official publicity and forwarded it to the Board of Trade. For the information and consideration of the Board of Trade a Copy of this Notification will be forwarded to The SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE COLONIES.

The order of the Senior Naval Officer for the formation of the Court having been read by the President.

WILLIAM OLAF JOHNSON called states; I was the master of the Str. Folkien, at the time of her loss. I have no English Certificate but held an American Certificate which was lost in the wreck. My Log book and ship's paper's were also lost. My port of departure was Shanghai and I was bound to Hongkong. I hand in here a Copy of the Fohhien's protest detailing the accident.

PROTEST OF CAPTAIN JOHNSON Str. Folkien-July 13th, Thursday, at 2.45 left the Hongque Wharf for Hongkong, the weather at the time being hazy and the wind strong froin the S. E.; 3.50 passed Woosung; 6.20 passed Lightship: wind moderating and weather fine; at 7.45 Gutzlaff bore about East two miles; at 9 passed Davis Island, the Island of Chinshan in sight. At 10 P.M. the easternmost island of Chinshan bore west about two miles; had experienced a very strong easterly current since leaving Gutzlaff, the weather fine moonlight and stars out; steered S by E. E. and S. S. E. to pass between Video and Fisherman's group. Soon after saw Video on our port bow and also the Fisherman's group on the star- board bow; the fog now set in; 11 P.M. quite thick, showing nothing but the top of Video ahead; steered so as to pass on the port beam. At 11.27 it bore east; set the log and took the revolutions; at 11.30 P.M. the fog lifted, showing a small island ahead close on board. Stopped the engine at once, and no sooner had we unhooked than the ship struck the rock with tremendous force and immediately commenced to sink. Let the anchors go as soon as possible to prevent the vessel from sliding off into deep water. Lowered the boats and commenced landing passengers on the rock. At 12 (midnight) landed the last boat load of passengers just as the upper deck disappeared below the surface, no one having a chance to save anything but what they stood in. Stayed by the wreck until morning, when everything was under water except the masts and smoke stacks; pulled towards Chinshan and fell in with fishing boats, three of which we chartered to convey the passengers ani crew to Ningpo. On Sunday morning arrived at Ningpo where the junks were paid each $300 for their services.

The following observations of Capt. Johnson were appended to the protest:-

When day broke and we were able to see our position, we found that instead of the island being Video the land that wo saw last night was the westernmost island of Fisherman's group. Owing to the peculiar state of the atmosphere this lan appeared to be the same height as the island of Video, which accounts for the mistake that was made, and also instead of having an easterly current as was supposed, the ship must have run out of that into a current setting towards the North West By Court. The lead was not going when we struck; there were 20 to 30 fathoms of water. I was in charge of the ship myself. My chief and third officers were on deck with me, also a quartermaster, and a quartermaster was at the wheel Just before we struck we were going full speed from 12 to 13 knots. The Hongkong authorities knew that I had no Certifice

     George C. Johnson who was mate with me at first, acted as sailing master. He had a certificate. I asked the Haris Master at Hongkong how to manage about taking command myself and he told me I had only to apply to Mr. Markham Mr. Lay at Shanghae, say that the Mate was to be discharged and myself put as master on the Register. This I did. I was the Westernmost Island of Fisherman's group which I took for Video. I was steering South and by West when it be East and the ship struck.

     ALBION H. MORSE called, states; I was Chief Mate of the Folkien, when she was lost, I acknowledge the correctness of the Protest which I have signed and of which the document in Court is a copy. I have no English or American Certific of Competency, none were required when I left the United States:-I was on deck when the Folkien struck. After leaving Chinsan it was about to 11 when we saw the first land; this was the Westernmost island of Fisherman's

Τ group. weather was thick and foggy. We were going about 13 knots. Just before 11 I could see islands on the starboard bo The island I took for Video bore East about 27 minutes past 11.

We only saw the top of it. We saw the outside island of Chinson and got a bearing from it. We were from 2 t miles from it. The last bearing we got was W. by S. We did not see the Bee Hive. I don't recollect at what time altered our course from S. and by E. 4 E. to S. S. E.

She was

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 2ND SEPTEMBER, 1865. 457

EDWARD W. ELLIS called, states:-I was 3rd Officer of the Folkien when she was lost, I was on deck when she struck. going about 13 knots. I have no certificate English or American. I had some private certificates as to character nd capabilities but lost them in the ship. Mr. Coates, a Shanghai Pilot took the ship as far as Gutzlaff. The weather was thick and hazy when she struck. We could.not see more than 30 feet. The land I saw looked exactly like Video. It bore East. The weather became very thick about 11 o'clock; She struck at or about half past eleven.

WILLIAM OLAF JOHNSON re-called, states:-There was a pilot on board when she struck, but he was not in charge of the ship. His duty had ceased. Mr. Fischer of Hongkong is the Registered owner of the Fohkien. She belonged to the Shanghai Steam Navigation Co. I know that she is partly insured, but do not know for what amount. Deviation was not allowed on account of iny steering by the Land. I have no deviation, my compasses are correct.

FINDING.

     We are of opinion that the Folkien was lost through the Master and Mates mistaking the Westernmost Island of Fisherman's group for Video, a mistake which we consider ought not to have occurred had the course and distance been attended to, the Westernmost Island of Fisherman's Group being only 12 and Video 18 miles from the position of the ship when the last light (sight?) of Chinsan was obtained.

     At the same time we feel bound to add that we consider Captain Johnson deserving of censure for not slacking his speed when the fog set in, as in such a neighbourhood it could not be safe, under any circumstances, to steam 13 knots an hour in such weather.

     We also feel bound to note our surprise at the fact of the owner of the Fokkien not having any officer on board with a certificate of competency or service, and at the Hongkong authorities permitting a British vessel to continually leave that port without such certificated officer.

As witness our hands this 25th day of July, 1805.

HARBOR MASTER'S OFFICE, HONGKONG, 28th August, 1865.

     SIR,-I have read the Official Minutes of a Naval Court held at Shanghae on the 25th day of July, 1865, to enquire into the circumstances attending the loss of the British Steamer Fohkien.

The Fokkien originally arrived at this Port es an American Ship, but on the 30th December, 1863, Mr. Robert Brand, a British subject became her owner and she received a British Register, as it had been known some time prior to this that a transfer was to take place, W. O. Jolinson who commanded her was informed that he would have to pass an examination if the Owner wished him to remain in that capacity, te this Captain Johnson objected giving as a reason that he had been many years a Shipmaster and that he held an American Certificate of Competency; the Chief Mate under the American Flag (Geo. C. Johnson) passed an examination as Master on the 31st December and his name was placed on the Register as such, W. O. Johnson remaining in her as Supercargo and general manager of the business and interest of the Owner. Some few months subsequently that Gentleman called at this Office and stated that Geo. C. Johnson had the offer of another command at Shanghae and if he left could his W. O. Johnson's name then be put on the Register. I told him that at Shanghae this could be done as the Authorities there were guided entirely by the Merchant Shipping Act. On the Folkien's return voyage it was seen that a cliange of Masters had taken place at Shanghae and that the name of W. O. Johnson was then on the Register; as the Merchant Shipping Act does not prevent a Vessel clearing from one Port in the East to another with a Master who does not possess a Certificate of Competency or service Captain W. O. Johnson remained in command.

The Folkien became the property of Mr. M. Fischer on the 7th June last.

Having reference to the latter part of the finding of the Naval Court, I may observe that it is only competent for a Court exercising Admiralty Jurisdiction or one appointed under Ordinace 11 of 1860 to remove a Master from the command of his ship, lot to justify the exercise of such a power the Court, must, in their unanimous opinion, be such, that the safety of the ship or crew, or the interest of the Owner, absolutely requires it; such Courts may be set in motion by application from the Owner, Agent, &c.; in the present instance the Owner is resident here and had no reason, that I am aware of, to question the Competency of Captain W. O. Johnson.

Section 5 of Ordinance 1 of 1862 prevents names of Masters or Mates being placed on Register or Articles unless properly qualified but this is a local Ordinance affecting Hongkong only, the Ordinance does not give power (nor is it advisable that it should) to undo that which an Imperial Act of Parliament Tegalizes.

458

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 2xD SEPTEMBER, 1865.

I must conclude that that part of the finding of the Court was come to in ignorance of the Law which regulates the appointments of Masters to ships in the British Mercantile Marine.

I beg leave to return the letter from the Consul at Shanghae with Minutes of Court sent for my perusal.-I have the honor to be, Sir, Your most obedient Servant,

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 2xD SEPTEMBER, 1865.

The Honorable W. II. ALEXANDER, Esq.,

CIRCULAR.

DOWNING STREET, 13th July, 1865.

SIR,I have the honor to transmit to you, for your information and guidance, the enclosed Copy of a Letter from the General Post Office, accompanied by a Treasury Warrant increasing from fourpence to tenpence the single rate of packet postage on letters conveyed between certain of the Colonies and other places abroad, and thus making the total postage one shilling the half ounce, instead of sixpence as at present. You will find the reasons for this change stated in the letter from the General Post Office.I have the honor to be, Sir, Your most obedient humble Servant,

The Officer Administering the Government of IIongkong.

EDWARD CARDWELL.

Mr. Hill to Sir F. Rogers.

General Post Office, 7th July, 1865. SIR,-In September 1855 a Treasury Warrant was issued, reducing from 1s. to 4d. the sea rate of postage on a letter not exceeding half an ounce in weight, carried by packet between any two British Colonies or between any British Colony and any Foreign Port at which a British Packet might touch, such letters, of course, in no case passing through the United Kingdom; and this rate is still considered sufficient for the sea postage upon letters carried from port to port in the West Indies, or from port to port in the East Indies, &c.; but the Postmaster-General is of opinion that it is quite insufficient for letters carried over long distances by sea, such, for instance, as letters between the Cape of Good Hope, and India, China, or Australia, forwarded via Mauritius, or between India and Australia forwarded vi? Point de Galle. In both these instances the letters are carried by more than one line of Packets, and the low rate of 4d. is insufficient to cover the cost of their transport.

     Independently of the long distance over which these letters are carried, as above stated, there are two other circumstances which in the opinion of the Postmaster-General make it necessary to increase the sea postage.

     1stly. This Office has engaged to pay the Union Steam Ship Company half the sea postage on letters carried by their packets from the Cape to Mauritius, and consequently, if the rate be left at 4d., 2d. only will remain for the expense of conveying a letter by Packet from Mauritius to Aden, and thence to Sydney, a distance of nearly 10,000 miles, or to Hongkong, a distance of more than 7,000 miles.

     2ndly. Since the establishment of the French Packets of the Indo-China and Mauritius Lines, occasions frequently happen in which a mail from one Colony for another Colony is carried by a British Packet as far as Aden, Point de Galle, or Mauritius, the three points of junction, and arriving there intermediately between the departure of two British Packets, but just in time for a French Packet (whose periods of sailing are fitted to these intermediate times), is sent on by such French Packet. In these cases payment for the sea conveyance at the rate of about 1s. an ounce, has to be made to France, absorbing, at the present rate of charge, the whole of the sea postage, although a portion, and often the larger portion, of the sea conveyance has been performed by British Packet.

     Under these circumstances Lord Stanley of Alderley has thought it necessary to bring the matter under the consideration of the Lords Commissioners of the Treasury, who, concurring with his Lordship in opinion that the postage for letters conveyed over long distances ought to be raised, have been pleased by their Warrant, dated the 1st instant (copies enclosed), to increase from 4d. to 10d., the single rate of packet postage on all letters forwarded between the Cape of Good Hope, Natal, St. Helena, Ascension,

or Mauritius, on the one side, and India, China, or Australia on the other side, as well as on letters between Australia and India or China. This sea rate of 10d., added to the Colonial inland rate of 1d. charged by the despatching and receiving Colonies respectively, will make the total postage 1s. the half-ounce, instead of 6d, as at present.

482

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 30?? SEPTEMBER, 1865.

     The present sea rate of 4d. charged on letters sent intermediately between any two Ports in India, or between India and Ceylon, or between Hongkong and Penang or Singapore, will remain unaltered.

I have to beg that you will move Mr. Secretary Cardwell to communicate to the Officers administering the Governments of the Cape of Good Hope, Natal, St. Helena, Mauritius, Hongkong, and of the several Australian Colonies, the uiteration which has been determined on in the rates of postage on letters sent by Packet direct between India and Australia, China, Mauritius, the Cape of Good Hope, Natal, and St. Helena, requesting them to give the necessary instructions for the collection by the Colonial Post Office of the increased rates of postage, commencing on the 1st September next.

TREASURY WARRANT.

Whereas by an Act passed in the fourth year of the reign of Her present Majesty, intituled "An Act for the regulation of the duties of postage," it is enacted that it shall be lawful for the Commissioners of Her Majesty's Treasury, from time to time, and at any time after the passing of that Act, by Warrant under their hands, to alter and fix any of the rates of British postage or inland postage payable by law on the transmission by the post of foreign or colonial letters or newspapers, or of any other printed papers, and to subject. the same to rates of postage according to the weight thereof and a scale of weight to be contained in such Warrant.

And whereas further powers are given to the Commissioners of Her Majesty's Treasury by another Act of Parliament passed in the eleventh year of the reign of Her present Majesty, intituled "An Act for giving further facilities for. the transmission of letters by post, and for the regulating the duties of postage thereon, and for other purposes relating to the Post Office."

     And whereas, by a certain Warrant of the Commissioners of Her Majesty's Treasury, bearing date the 19th day of September, 1855, certain rates of packet postage were fixed and made chargeable and payable upon letters transmitted by the post direct by British packet boat between any ports in the British colonies or between any ports in the British colonies and any foreign port (not in any such cases passing through the United Kingdom), and it is expedient to alter certain of the said rates on certain letters transmitted as hereinafter mentioned, and to fix certain other rates in lieu thereof as are hereinafter contained.

Now we, the Commissioners of Her Majesty's Treasury, in exercise of the powers vested in us in and by the said recited Acts, and each of them, and of all other powers enabling us in this behalf, do, by this Warrant (under the hands of two of us the said Commissioners, by the authority of the statute in that case made and provided) order and direct as follows:-

1. That on every letter not exceeding half an ounce in weight transmitted by the post direct by British packet boat, or partly by British packet boat and partly by French packet boat, between any port in the Cape of Good Hope, Natal, Saint Helena, Ascension, or the Mauritius, and any port in the East Indies, China, or Australia, or between any port in Australia, and any port in the East Indies or China (not i any such cases passing through the United Kingdom), there shall be charged and taken a packet rate of postage of ten

pence.

2. That on every letter, transmitted as is mentioned in this Warrant, excceding half an ounce in weight, there shall be charged, taken, and paid, progressive and additional rates of postage as follows (that is to say):

On every such letter exceeding half an ounce in weight and not exceeding one ounce in weight, two rates of postage;

On every such letter exceeding one ounce and not exceeding one ounce and the half of another ounce in weight, three rates of postage;

(Signed)

F. HILL.

On every such letter exceeding one ounce and the half of another ounce and not exceeding two ounces in weight, four rates of postage;

And for every half of an ounce in weight above the weight of two ounces, there shall be charged and taken one additional rate of postage, and every fraction of half an ounce above the weight of two ounces shall be charged as one additional half of an ounce, and each progressive and additional rate chargeable under this elanse shall be estimated and charged at the sum which any such letter would be charged with under this Warrant if not exceeding half an ounce in weight. 3. That the rates of postage chargeable on such letters as aforesaid, for the sea conveyance thereof, shall be charged in addition to any inland colonial rates that may be payable

thereon.

4. That nothing in this Warrant contained shall in anywise alter, prejudice, or affect the exemptions and privileges granted by the said recited Act, passed in the fourth year of the reign of Her present Majesty, nor in anywise prejudice or affect the previlege which officers, seamen, and soldiers employed in Her Majesty's service now by law enjoy of sending and re- ceiving letters by the post, subject to the regulations and restrictions in respect of the same.

5. That the term "East Indies," used in this Warrant, shall be construed to mean every port in Her Majesty's domi- nions in Asia (China, the Mauritius, Java, Borneo, and Australia excepted), and the several other terms and expres sions used in this Warrant shall be construed to have the like meaning in all respects as they would have had if inserted in the said Act passed in the fourth year of the reign of Her present Majesty.

6. That so much of the said recited Warrant of the 19th day of September, 1855, as relates to or affects letters trans- mitted by the post direct by British packet boat between any port in the Cape of Good Hope, Natal, Saint Helena, Ascension, or the Mauritius, and any port in the East Indies, China, or Australia, or between any port in Australia and any port in the East Indies or China (not in any such cases passing through the United Kingdom) is hereby repealed. .

7. That this Warrant shall come into operation on the first day of September, one thousand eight hundred and sixty-five. 8. That it shall be lawful for the Commissioners for the time being of Her Majesty's Treasury, or any two of them, by Warrant under their hands, at my time hereafter, to alter or repeal any of the rates hereby altered, or the regulations hereby made, and to make and establish any new or other rates or regulations in lieu thereof, and from time to time to appoint at what time the rates that may be payable are to be paid.

The QUEEN's Most Excellent Majesty in Council.

      Whereas the rules and practice observed for the purpose of preventing collisions at sea, which were formerly adopted by maritime nations, have proved insufficient to satisfy the requirements of modern navigation; And whereas various alt?rations in such rules and practice have from time to time been made by different nations, but the rules so altered have been found to be in some cases inconsistent with each other, and in other cases to have the force of municipal law only; And whereas certain regulations for the purpose aforesaid have been sanctioned by "The Merchant Shipping Act Amendment Act, 1862,” and are contained in the Table C, in the schedule to that Act; And whereas for the purpose of correcting certain clerical errors the said regulations have, in pursuance of the provisions in the said Act contained, been modified by an Order in Council bearing date the 9th day of January, 1863, and the said regulations, so modified, are appended to the said Order, and to this Order; And whereas by virtue of the said Act and of the said Order the said regulations so appended as aforesaid, so far as relates to British and French ships and also so far as relates to certain other foreign ships when within British jurisdic- tion, came into operation on the 1st day of June, one thousand eight hundred and sixty-three; And whereas it is provided by the same Act, that, whenever it is made to appear to Her Majesty that the Government of any foreign country is willing that the regulations for preventing collisions, contained in Table C in the schedule to the said Act, or such other regulations for preventing collisions as are for the time being in force under the said Act, should apply to the ships of such country when beyond the limits of British jurisdiction, Her Majesty may by Order in Council direct that such regulations shall apply to the ships of the said foreign country, whether within British jurisdiction or not. And it is further provided by the said Act that whenever an Order in Council has been issued applying any regalation made by or in pursuance of the said Act to the ships of any foreign country such ships shall, in all cases arising in any British Court, be deemed to be subject to such regulation, and shall for the purpose of such regulation be treated as if they were British ships: And whereas it has been made to appear to Her Majesty, that

The Government of His Majesty the King of the Hawaiian Islands

    is willing that the said Regulations appended to the said Order, and to this Order should apply to ships belonging to those islands when beyond the limits of British jurisdiction:

      Now, therefore, Her Majesty, by virtue of the power vested in Her by the said recited Act, and by and with the advice of Her Privy Council, is pleased to direct,

     That the said regulations appended to the said Order in Council, bearing date the ninth day of January, one thousand eight hundred and sixty-three, and to this Order, shall from the date of this Order apply to ships belonging to

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.

The attention of the Community is called to the subjoined Postal Notification which has been drawn up with a view to afford greater facilities in the posting of correspondence by the Mails for Europe, &c.

It is to be borne in mind that the proposed arrangements are entirely experimental, and, should they be found impracticable, will be discontinued.

The probability of their being practicable depends chiefly on the bulk of the Letters being posted on the day before the Mail departs. It is therefore hoped that the Public will assist the Officers of the Post Office by posting all Correspondence as it is closed, instead of reserving it to post with their later despatches between 7 and 9 the following morning.

The new arrangement will apply to all British Contract Packets, except those that depart on a Sunday, when it will be necessary to follow the old rules.

By Order,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 9th November, 1865.

VOTES AND PROCEEDINGS OF THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL OF HONGKONG.

No. 11 OF 1865.

THURSDAY, 16TH NOVEMBER, 1865.

PRESENT:

His Excellency the ACTING GOVERNOR and all the Members, except the ACTING JUDGE of the Court of

Summary Jurisdiction, absent on vacation leave, and Mr. CHOMLEY, absent inadvertently.

The Council met to-day by special summons.

The Minutes of the Council held on the 23rd September, were read and approved.

The ACTING GOVERNOR read Despatch from the SECRETARY OF STATE for the Colonies, No. 154 of 9th September last, directing the repeal of the Neutrality Ordinance No. 9 of 1865, and after referring to the correspondence which had passed between this Government and the Colonial Office in connection with this Enactment, moved the first reading of a Bill entitled "An Ordinance for repealing Ordinance No. 9 of 1865."

Question put and carried, and Bill read a first time.

The ACTING GOVERNOR laid on the Table'a Memorandum, which he had addressed to those Members of the Legislative Council who were concerned last year in the expression of the Council's opinion as to the mode in which the Military Contribution should be levied. It was as follows:

MEMORANDUM.

     In Sir Hercules Robinson's published Despatch No. 134 of 7th September 1864, 12th paragraph, it was pointed out to the Secretary of State that it would be better if the Military Contribution were imposed by Order in Council instead of Annual Vote of the local Legislature.

Mr. Cardwell in the last paragraph of his reply (also published) promised to consider the point.

     I concluded that the point was set at rest in the Despatch from the Secretary of State which I read to the Council on the 23rd ultimo, but by the last mail I have received the annexed Despatch, No. 141 of 11th August, from which it will be seen that Mr. Cardwell has finally decided to give effect to what Sir Hercules Robinson represented as the wish of the Legislative Council, if it still be the wish of Members that this impost should be levied under an Order in Council.

Sir Hercules Robinson's belief as to the intention of the Council was formed on the Resolution passed with one dissentient "oice on the 5th September 1864, and the Gentlemen named below being those who remain of the number that voted for the Resolution are requested to say if their desire be that the Military Contribution of ?20,000 for the remaining 3 years be taken out of the Annual Estimates and provided for by permanent order of The Queen in Council.
