Letters addressed to any of these Countries may be registered for a fee of 24 cents each in addition to the postage; but

And for every additional 2 ounces 8 cents.

Packets of Patterns are subject to the following regulations:-

　　　　　　　1st. The Patterns or Samples must not be of intrinsic value. This rule excludes all articles of a saleable nature, and, indeed, whatever may have a value ofits own, apart from its mere use as a Pattern or Sample; and the quantity of any material sent ostensibly as a Pattern or Sample must not be so great that it can fairly be considered as having, on this ground,

an intrinsic value.

2nd. There most be no writing or printing, in addition to the address of the person for whom the packet is intended, ande address of the sender, other than a trade mark and numbers, and the prices of the articles; and these particulars must in all cases be given, not on loose pieces of paper, but on small labels attached to the Samples, or the bags containing them. 3rd. The Patterns or Simples 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; or the bags may be entirely closed provided that they be transparent, so that the Officers of the Post Office may be able to satisfy themselves as to the nature of the contents.

4th. No article likely to injure the contents of the Mail Bags, or the person of any Officer of the Post Office, may be sent through the Post as a Pattern; but the rule is so far relaxed in this case as to permit Patterns of Scissors, Knives, Razors, Forks, and such like articles to be forwarded, provided they be packed and guarded in so secure a manner as to afford complete protection to the contents of the Mail bags, whilst, at the same time, the Patterns may be easily examined.

　　　　　　5th. No packet of Patterns or Samples must exceed two feet in length, one foot in breadth or depth, or three pounds in weight.

If either of the foregoing rules be infringed, the packet will not be forwarded.

1 intrinsic value.

2nd. There must be no writing or printing, in addition to the address of the person for whom the packet is intended, id the address of the sender, other than a trade mark and numbers, and the prices of the articles; and these particulars must all cases be given, not on loose pieces of paper, but on small labels attached to the Samples, or the bags containing them. 31st 3rd.

able to satisfy themselves as to the nature of the contents.

s to

4th. No article likely to injure the contents of the Mail Bags, or the person of any Officer of the Post Office, may be int through the Post as a Pattern; but the rule is so far related in this case as to permit Patterns of Scissors, Knives, 1 beazors, Forks, and such like articles to be forwarded, provided they be packed and guarded in so secure a manner as to afford

mplete protection to the contents of the Mail bags, whilst, at the same time, the Patterns may be easily examined.

　　　　　　　　　th. No packet of Patterns or Samples must exceed two feet in length, one foot in breadth or depth, or three pounds in s ateight.

Cong

If either of the foregoing rules be infringed, the packet will not be forwards1.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.

VOL. XII.

His Excellency the ACTING GOVERNOR has been pleased to direct the publication of the following Circular Despatch from the Right Honorable The SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE COLONIES on the subject of the Paris Universal Exhibition of 1867.

Any communication on the subject with which this Government may be favored will receive

immediate attention.

By Order,

CIRCULAR (2.)

W. H. ALEXANDER,

Acting Colonial Secretary.

DOWNING STREET, 10th November, 1865.

　　　　　　　SIR,I have the honor to transmit to you, for your information and guidance, the enclosed Copy of a Correspondence between the Committee of Council on Education and this Department on the subject of the Representation of the British. Colonies in the Paris Universal Exhibition of 1867.

It is on every account to be wished that Her Majesty's Possessions may be well represented in the approaching Exhibition, and I have to request that you will take measures for ascertaining whether the inhabitants of the Colony under your government desire to be so represented. If this should be the case, you will observe that the first step will be to appoint Committee of Superintendence and a Special Commissioner, to conduct the correspondence with this country.-I have the nor to be, Sir, Your most obedient, hunible Servant,

The Officer administering the Government of Hongkong.

EDWARD CARDWELL.

Mr. Henry Cole to the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　COUNCIL OF EDUCATION, KENSINGTON MUSEUM, October 9th, 1865. Sin--I am directed by the Lords of the Committee of Council on Education to transmit one hundred copies of the general regulations and classification issued by the Imperial Commission for the guidance of intending exhibitors in the International Exhibition to be held in Paris in 1867, and a list of the several amounts of space which it is proposed to allot

to each colony.

It being important that the colonies should be well represented, my Lords request that you will move Mr. Cardwell to he, as early as convenient, such steps as he may consider necessary for drawing the attention of each colony to these alations, &c., and direct me to observe, that in making known the space offered, it should be distinctly understood that proposed allotment in each case is nett space, exclusive of passage room, for which ample provision has been made, and

quently the entire space offered may be filled with goods.

My Lords suggest that each colony should for:n a Committee having sufficient experience, and invested with authority, cure a due representation of the industry and resources of the colony; and that it should place one special Executive Commissioner in direct communication with the Science and Art Department at South Kersington.

It is desirable that each Colony should inform the Lords of the Committee of Council on Education, with as little delay possible, if it will undertake to fill the space offered; and if not, to state what diminution in the space may be made.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 20TH JANUARY, 1866.

The Imperial Commission having decided upon a particular mode of arrangement into classes and groups, which is set forth in the regulations, the same principle of arrangement will be adopted by Great Britain, and it will be necessary that the colonies also conform to it. My Lords direct me to request, therefore, that the Executive Commissioner from each colony should transmit before the 1st August, 1866, to the Science and Art Department, South Kensington, the space which the colony proposes to occupy, divided into the respective ten groups (which several divisions will be taken as the bases for the final arrangement in the Exhibition building and park), together with a list of the names and addresses of the exhibitors in

each class.

My Lords request that all letters from the colonies may be addressed to the Secretary, Science and Art Department, South Kensington, London.-I have &c.,

The Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies.

SIR,In reply to your letter of the 9th instant, enclosing, for transmission to certain colonies specified in an accompany- ing list, copies of General Regulations and Classification issued by the Imperial Commission, for the guidance of intending exhibitors in the International Exhibition, to be held in Paris in 1867; I'am directed by Mr. Secretary Cardwell to express to you his readiness to forward to the Governors of the colonies named in your list, copies of your letter, and of the printed regulations therein enclosed; but I am at the same time to observe, that while the list includes very small colonies, others of the same or larger importance are omitted from that list. Mr. Cardwell has, therefore, thought it safest to enquire whether the omissions were, in all respects, intentional. I annex a list showi the colonies excluded from that enclosed in letter. Mr. Cardwell directs me to suggest whether it may not be convenient to allot a certain proportion of space to the follow- ing groups of colonies, viz.:

1. Windward Islands; containing Barbadoes, Grenada, St. Vincent, St. Lucia, Tobago.

2. Leeward Islands; containing Antigua, St. Christopher, Dominica, Virgin Islands, Montserrat, Nevis."

your

3. West Africa Settlements, Sierra Leone, Gambia, Gold Coast, Lagos. Placing the subdivision in the hands of some committee or officer at Barbadces, Antigua, and Sierra Leone, respectively.

Sierra Leone has recently set on foot an Industrial Exhibition of its own.

The Committee of Council will, of course, understand that Mr. Cardwell makes these suggestions on the supposition that. they may not have had fully before them the circumstances and relations of the different colonies when their allotment of space was made. Whatever the decision of the Committee may be, he will most readily make the necessary communication to the colonies. I am &c.

PARIS UNIVERSAL EXHIBITION, SOUTH KENSINGTON, 21st October, 1865. SIR,-I am directed by the Lords of the Committee of Council on Education to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 16th instant, transmitting a list of the names of certain colonies which have been omitted in the awards of for the International Exhibition to be held at Paris in 1867:

space

　　I am to observe that in apportioning the space to the different colonies, my Lords were guided by the requirements as shown in the International Exhibitions which were held at Paris in 1855, and in London in 1862. No articles from any of the colonies mentioned in the list accompanying your letter were exhibited in either of those Exhibitions.

　　My Lords are, however, desirous that every British colony should be represented in the forthcoming Exhibition to be held at Paris in 1867, but as they have no data by which they can ascertain the requirements of those colonies which have not previously exhibited, they do not consider that it would be advisable to allot any fixed amount of space to them, but will be prepared to receive for exhibition any articles which may be forwarded to them through a properly accredited agency.

　　Their Lordships thank Mr. Secretary Cardwell for his suggestion respecting the grouping together of certain of the colonies for better and more convenient representation, and I am to request that you will nove Mr. Cardwell to take the necessary steps for obining the appointment of Committees for-

1. The Windward Island

2. The Leeward Islands.

3. The West Africa Settlements.

　　　　In all these cases it will be desirable that information of the amount of space likely to be required should be forwarded to Science and Art Department as soon as possible.

Their Lordships direct me to inclose fifty additional copies of the General Regulations for distribution.—I have, &c.

　　ART. 5.-Les Commissions constitu?es par les divers Gouvernements ?trangers pour diriger la participation de leurs nationaux ? l'Exposition universelle correspondent directement avec la Commission imp?riale pour tout ce qui concerne l'ex- position des ?uvres d'art et des autres produits de leurs pays. En cons?quence, la Commission imp?riale ne correspond pas avec les exposants ?trangers.

　Tout produit pr?sent? par un producteur ?tranger n'est admis que par l'intervention de la Commission ?trang?re, dont celui- ci rel?ve comme exposant.

　Les Commissaires ?trangers, pourvoient d'ailleurs selon leurs convenances, au transport, ? la reception, ? l'installation et ? la r?exp?dition des produits de leurs nationaux, en se confor- mant toutefois aux mesures d'ordre prescrites par la Commis- sion imp?riale.

　* ART. 7.-Pour faciliter la r?partition de l'espace attribu? ? chaque nation entre les diverses classes de produits indiqu?es ? l'article 11, la Commission imp?riale tient ? la disposition des d?l?gu?s, ? titre de renseignement, le plan d'installation, ? l'?chelle de 0,002 par m?tre, adopt? pour la section fran?aise, du Palais. Ce plan indique la disposition des vitrines ou tables affect?es ? chaque classe de produits, ainsi que la forme, la hauteur et les autres dimensions des salles r?serv?es ? chaque classe.

　Un plan analogue d'installation, d?terminant les subdivisions de la partie du Palais destin?e ? chaque nation, devra ?tre remis ? la Commission imp?riale, par chaque Commission ?trang?re, avant le 31 octobre 1865.

　Des plans de d?tail, ? l'?chelle de 0,020 par m?tre, indiquant Ja place attribu?e ? chaque exposant et chaque installation individuelle, derront ?galement ?tre remis, avec la liste des exposants, par chaque Commission ?trang?re, avant le 31 janvier 18C6, pour que, dans les am?nagements int?rieurs du Palais, la Commission imp?riale puisse tenir compte des besoins de chaque nation.

　* ART. 8.-Chaque nation peut r?clamer, pour en faire son parc sp?cial, la portion du Champ de Mars attenant ? l'em- placement qui lui est attribu? dans le Palais.

　Pour faciliter autant que possible l'installation des exposants ?trangers dans les portions du Pare qui leur sont attribu?es, la Commission imp?riale tiendra ? la disposition des d?l?gu?s, ? titre de renseignement, les plans adopt?s par les exposants fran?ais pour l'installation des animaux, des plantes, des sp?cimens d'habitation, etc. (Pi?ce A.)

　　ART. 9.-Il sera dress? un Catalogue officiel des produits de toutes les nations, indiquant la place qu'ils occupent dans le Palais ou dans le Parc.

* ART. 6.-Foreign Commissioners are requested to place themselves as soon as possible in relation with the Imperial Commission, and to depute some person to represent them.

POST OFFICE NOTIFICATION.

　　　　　　　　It is hereby notified for general information that henceforward the size of any packet, whether of Books, Patterns or Newspapers, intended to be forwarded by the post between Hongkong and the United Kingdom must not exceed two feet in length and one foot in width and depth; such packets exceeding these limits as to size will not be forwarded.

F. W. MITCHELL, Post Master General.

General Post Office, Hongkong, 18th January, 1866.

POST OFFICE NOTIFICATION.

It is hereby notified for general information that the following modifications have been made in the regulations for the transmission of Patterns by post from Hongkong to the United Kingdom by way of Southampton.

1st. The removal of the prohibition against the transmission of articles of intrinsic value by the Pattern and Sample Post. 2nd. Samples of Seeds, drugs and similar Articles are now allowed to be sent in bags entirely closed, provided such bags be transparent, so that the Officers of the Post Office may satisfy themselves as to the nature of the contents.

3rd. The rule which prohibited the transmission through the post, as patterns, of articles of cuttlery, &c., has been rescinded, and scissors, knives, razors, forks, steel pens, nails, keys, watch machinery, metal tubing, pieces of metal or ore, and such like articles, are now allowed to be forwarded by the post as samples, provided they be packed and guarded in so secure a manner as to afford complete protection to the contents of the mail bags, and to the persons of the Officers of the Post Office.

　　　　　　　　　Such articles however must be so packed that they may be easily examined, and it is made a rule that any packet containing such articles which may be found to be insufficiently guarded shall not be forwarded through the post.

　　　　　　　　It will be understood that the foregoing modified regulations extend only to Patterns to be sent in the mails forwarded by way of Southampton to the United Kingdom, at the same time the regulations at present in force as to the transmission of Patterns in the mails forwarded by way of Marseilles to the United Kingdom have been so far altered as to admit of samples of seeds, drugs and similar articles being forwarded in the mails via France packed in transparent bags which may be closed: such bags, however must not contain anything in the nature of a letter and the articles themselves so forwarded must not be of intrinsic value.

It shows through an angle of 16P 30 illuminating the western horizon, and is cut off on two bearings, respectively, N. N. W. and S. 3 E. from the Light House, the former passing one and a half miles clear of the Patch Buoy, off Amherst to the west; and the latter, one and a quarter miles clear of Callagouk Island, also to the west. beam of light shows from the Patch Buoy eastward as far as Amherst Point.

Vessels after making the light should endeavour to keep it between the bearings of S. E. and N. E., paying particular attention to the state of the tides, as they run on the springs about five knots an hour, parallel with the Coast. Vessels standing-in too close to the land will lose the Light altogether; but so long as the Light is kept in sight they will be in no danger until they are ten miles to the northward of it when they will be approaching the Goodwin Sands, where the tides set very strong.

　　The anchoring ground in the vicinity of Double Island is very good; but, of course, on account of the strength of the tides, Vessels should avoid, as much as possible, the risk of anchoring in such deep water.

　　　　　　　SIR, I have the honor to transmit, for your information and for insertion in the public papers, the accompanying Copy of an Order of Her Majesty in Council, dated the 5th Instant, allowing the Distilling Apparatus of Messrs. Chaplin and Company, as well as those of Dr. Normanby and Messrs. Winchester and Graveley, to be used on board Passenger Ships.-I have the honor to be, Sir, Your most obedient Humble Servant,

The Officer Administering the Government of Hongkong.

EDWARD CARDWELL.

[L. S.]

AT THE COURT AT WINDSOR,

the 5th day of December, 1865. PRESENT:

THE QUEEN'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY IN COUNCIL.

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

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

And whereas Her Majesty, by an Order in Council dated the ninth day of January, one thousand eight hundred and sixty-three, prescribed certain rules for permitting the use on board Passenger Ships propelled by steam engines of less than a certain power, and on board Passenger Ships propelled by sails, of a certain apparatus for distilling fresh water from salt water: And whereas it is expedient to repeal the said Order in Council, and to issue in lieu thereof the Order hereinafter contained: Now, therefore, Her Majesty doth, by and with the advice of Her Privy Council, and in pursuance and in exercise of the authority vested in Her by the said "Passengers' Act, 1855," hereby repeal the said Order in Council of the ninth day of January, one thousand eight hundred and sixty-three, except in so far as the same repeals a certain Order in Council of the thirteenth day of May, one thousand eight hundred and fifty-nine, and doth hereby order as follows:

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

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

2. That the Owners, Charterers, or Master of such Ship, before clearance, lodge with such Emigration Officer a Certificate from the Engineer or Surveyor of the Board of Trade, or from some other competent person to be named by such Emigration Officer, declaring that within seven days immediately preceding the date of such Certificate, the apparatus has been examined

by him, and is then in good working condition, and stating the number of imperial gallons of pure fresh water which it is capable of producing in every twenty-four hours, and further declaring that the apparatus on board is either Normandy's, Winchester and Graveley's, or Chaplin and Company's Patent, as the case may be.

　　　3. That in every case such Emigration Officer shall be satisfied that the number of gallons of pure water which the apparatus is so certified to be capable of producing is not less than the whole number of persons about to proceed on the intended voyage of such Ship, that is to say, the whole number of Cabin Passengers, Passengers, and Crew.

　　　4. That there is rated on the Ship's Articles, and that there is on board the Ship, some person or persons who, to the satisfaction of the said Emigration Officer, shall be competent for the proper management and repair of such distilling

apparatus :

　　　And to prevent all doubts on the construction of this Order in Council, it is hereby further Ordered, that the terms "Passenger Ship," "Emigration Officer," "Statute Adult," and "Master" shall herein have the same significations as are assigned to them respectively in the said "Passengers' Act, 1855:"

And the Right Honorable Edward Cardwell, one of Her Majesty's Principal Secretaries of State, is to give the necessary directions herein accordingly.

No. 13.

W. H. ALEXANDER,

Acting Colonial Secretary.,

HARBOR MASTER'S OFFICE, HONGKONG, 5th February, 1866.

SIR,I have the honor to forward the annual Returns of Shipping, &c., for the year ending 31st December, 1865. The gross trade of the Colony is still advancing, shewing an excess of nearly 50,000 tons; from Great Britain and Australia there is a decline in tonnage; from the former place of 23,321 tons, and the latter of 11,571 tons; there is also a decrease in the direct, trade from Japan, amounting to 11,199 tons, as well as a large reduction in the amount of Tonnage from Siam, due to the late prohibition to the export of rice from that Country, a prohibition which led to an extensive introduction of that grain from India. In connection with this I am able to report a very large increase to the trade between Hongkong and India, and Hongkong and Coast of China; between the first named places the gross tonnage entered is 297,288 tons, being an increase of 67,450 tons, and it is satisfactory to know that this excess is due to Ships carrying the British Flag.-The trade between the last mentioned places for 1865 exceeds that of 1864 by*64,140 tons, but the increase of tonnage by the British Flag alone amounts to 75,338, the difference being made up by the reduction of the number of foreign Flags in these seas, their tonnage having fallen off 11,198 tons; the entire British tonnage from Indian and Chinese Ports gives the large addition of 142,401 tons on the last year's arrivals, the trade between Java and this has increased but chiefly in foreign Vessels. The arrivals from South America shew an addition of 12,336 tons also in foreign bottoms, these being the Vessels whose principal employment is the conveyance of Chinese Emigrants from Macao.-The large increase of tonnage under the British Flag is doubtless due to the introduction of steam, and when the coal mines of Labuan and neighbouring Countries shall supply this Colony with regularity, and Steam Vessels can be more cheaply worked, sailing Vessels will find a difficulty in obtaining employment for short voyages.

The great diminution in the number of Junks frequenting the Port is worthy of observation, and is suggestive of the much greater confidence which Chinese Merchants place in the carriage of their goods in foreign Vessels than hitherto; if more Ports in the South of China were open the whole of the Junk trade would soon cease, and with it Piracy, for there can be little doubt but that every armed Junk becomes a Pirate when an opportunity offers.

In the Shipping returns the trade between this, Canton and Macao, whether by Steamers or Junks, is not included; but I have taken steps to ensure that, so far as the Steamers are concerned, the report for 1866 shall contain that information; the establishment of a Registry of the Junks frequenting this Port would also add much to our knowledge of the trade done by those Vessels.

Sheets of Exports and Imports remain blank from inability (through absence of a Custom House) to keep those returns. Twenty-nine Vessels were registered during the year, and thirty-one struck off for yarious reasons as shewn in Return No. 10. The total Emigration hence shews little difference on last year, that to California having since May last wholly ceased, the Chinese returned are also fewer in number and bringing much less Gold than has been usual.

The number of men shipped and discharged amount to 7,862, and 7,900, respectively, shewing a decrease on the previous year; this is consequent on the want of employment for sailing ships during the late summer when the average number of Vessels in Port was about 250.

Forty-four Candidates have passed examinations, and eighteen have been rejected, under Ordinance 17 of 1860. The cases tried in the Marine Magistrate's Court amount to 228, being composed principally of refusal of duty, and disorderly conduct.-I have the honor to be, Sir, Your most obedient Servant,
