Submarine jets, apparently of steam, were observed on October 6th, 10 miles N.E. of Cape Diamond near Simoda, about 2 miles off the land. They rose to the height of 20 feet.

Redfield Rocks, [p. 462.] As little as 12 fathoms were found when passing along the west side of these rocks, about equi-distant from either group; therefore it is not correctly stated that the water deepens as they are approached. At half- a-mile from the South and principal cluster are soundings of 20 fathoms, rock. The flat rock also is connected with the South rocks and lies close to them.

GULF OF SURUGA.

　　　Directions for the Harbors on the west coast of the Idsu Peninsula. [p. 459.] Tago and Heda steered for, but Arari can only be made by small craft, being difficult of access and its entran close to the N.E. of Tago which is a good harbor and easily identified by the two rocky islets of

nts it with its line of

Lady Inglis Rocks.-In a south-wester, good shelter may be obtained under the lee of Omae-saki in 7 to 4 fathoms, but not closer in. A vessel may pass inside the reef by giving the shore a berth of a mile. This reef quite covers at high water and does not always break. An iron perch or beacon should be erected on it.

From YOKOHAMA to the WESTWARD.

Directions. After passing Rock Island, take an inshore passage, steering to pass well outside Omae-saki, and thence towards Kii no oosima, but take the greatest precaution to give a wide berth to the dange.ous reefs off Xima, if passing at night. The Serpent carried a favorable current the whole way in October.

KII CHANNEL, &c.

Tanabe has proved at times a convenient anchorage, the usual position for anchoring being south of the Daimio's residence, but better shelter in westerly winds would be found N.E. of the Binzli reef. Two sunken rocks have lately been discovered in the fairway to the above anchorage, one of 22 feet water is S. 6 E. 4 cables from the islet off Maruyama point; the other with 15 feet is, S. 30° E. at the same distance. To anchor :-Stand in for the green earthwork east of the white wall of the Daimio's residence bearing E.N.E. till Ebisima shuts in with Marayuma islet; then keep East and anchor in 6 to 4 fathoms. The low rock of Binzli always shews.

Akasi Strait to Hiago, [p. 491.] A shoal, having 20 feet water on it, is said to exist about a mile south of Mieco on the Nipon shore. The Serpent obtained 10 fathoms on the spot marked on the chart by a Japanese naval officer, although it appeared very shoal from the extreme discoloration of the water in a heavy tide rip, caused by the ebb stream being deflected from the shore after sweeping out of the Akasi bight. There is very probably a shoal nearer the coast, formed by the addy.

　　　Standing on towards Hiogo there are not less than 9 fathoms at a mile off shore; and Hiogo point, which is low and has a round gray tower at its extremity, may be rounded at one or two cables.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 12TH JANUARY, 1867.

INLAND SEA.

　　Skenesi or Ose Bank, [p. 490,] Not less than 6 fathoms could be found on this bank when thoroughly examined. is of course sand. The fishermen would not admit the existence of any bank having less than 7 fathoms.

　　Hosedasinose Bank extends 2 miles off the shore of Awadji, 3 miles north of Morotzu. There is said to be only 3 fathoms on its edge.

Skanose or Great Shoal, [p. 490,] is probably not nearly so extensive as shown on the Chart The Serpent passed over the centre of it, 6 miles within the spit, in 11 fathoms, sand, but the southern edge in 13 to 18 fathoms was found to be rock. A good leading mark for passing between the banks is the Hiogo range just open of Yesaki, the north point of Awadji.

Oki-sima, [p. 489,] in long. 134° 1, is high and none of the islands about it are low as stated in the China Pilot. Tomo-sima is high also, and affords good anchorage in 5 or 6 fathoms on its S.W. side, with Yosino bluff just open of its south point.

ST. VINCENT CHANNEL.

　　The Commander-in-Chief having ordered a survey of the channels about the Conqueror Bank, one has been discovered by which the heaviest ships can pass at all times. It is quite direct and carries not less than 7 fathoms at low water, springs. Some dangers exist on its borders, but they are easily avoided by steering a mid-channel, course. The tides being stronge in this channel, there is some advantage in taking it, when the tide is favorable.

　　Three Islet Spit.-A narrow bank of gravel extends from the three rocky islets towards Siyako. Its Spit may be crossed in 10 fathoms by keeping Kodutsi one breadth open of the small round island off the South point of Yosima (not marked in the Chart.)

Rocks which dry towards low water extend one cable off the North point of Usisima. They are steep to.

Siyako Ledge.-A rocky ledge extends 3 cables off the South point of Siyako, at the outer part of which is a rock of less than 10 feet water. Giving the island a berth of half-a-mile, or pasing outside the tide rip or heavy overfall generally seen there, will clear it.

Hirosima, South Bank is very steep to. It lies between Kosima or Round island and Hirosima, projecting somewhat into the channel. For which reason it is preferable to pass South of 10 feet Rock. Parts of the bank are nearly dry.

Ten feet Rock, so named, is 20 feet high and whitened. It may be passed quite safely on either side at 2 cables or less. Tides. It is high water, full and change, at Hirosima, at 11 h. 45 m. rise and fall at springs 11 feet; neaps rise 8 feet. The streams run regularly six hours each way, the flood coming in from the east, and the changes take place about an hour before the end of the tide. The tides have great regularity. The meeting of the tides from the Kii and Boungo Channels takes place in the Bingonada, west of Akenes. Misaki.

Directions.-Stand on E.N.E. between Nezumi and Sayanagi, passing nearer to Nezumi, and when hetween Kosima (Round island) and Takami steer about E. by N. for 10 feet rock which may be passed on either hand at 2 cables, but on the South in preference on account of Hirosima South Bank, continue about E. by N. for the north part of Usisima (Saddle island) hauling up mid-channel through the passage north of it, to avoid the Rocks off its point. Then steer along Siyako for the north point of Yosima hauling up E. by S. with Kodutsi a little open of the island off Yosima, and pass mid-channel between it and the Three Rocks or islets

　　From the Eastmard:-Bass mid-channel north of the three rocky islets and haul up W. by N. till Kodutsi is one breadth open, then keep S. W. by W. along the shore of Siyako maintaining a mid-channel course between it and Usisima. When 10 feet rock comes mid-way between Round island and Takami steer for it, but pass 2 cables South of it. Pass 2 cables north

of Takami and half a mile north of Nezi, the summit of Hirosima kept mid-way between Round island and Takami leading through in the best water, viz.: 7 fathoms.

Vessels of small daught may disregard these particular directions, steering a mid-channel course by eye. Anchorage may

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　Inoura, the south east bay of Hirosima in 9 to 4 fathoms; the water shoals rather suddenly at the edge of the channel Also in 7 to 5 fathoms between Takami north point and Nezumi Sima; on Three Islets Spit in 7 to 5 fathoms, gravel; and within a mile East of Usisima in the same depths.

KURUSIMA SETO.

Southern Route, (p. 488). The name of this is Kurusima Seto or Strait of Kurusima. A more particular examination of it than was inade in 1861 has been rendered necessary in consequence of numerous reports of the difficulty of its navigation by strangers.

A singularly clear atmosphere and great mirage are very prevalent at this part of the Sea, and when under these circumstances the sun is shining on the islands, they blend with the mainland, and the passage is not then readily detected on approach.

Cape lyo is a long promontory of undulating hills rising gradually from the point to no great elevation. Half-a-mile north-west of it is a grassy island 20 feet high, and 3 cables outside the islet, a low reef which never covers. rocks above water.

There are other

　　　Kosima being well cultivated contrasts well with the barren hills of Osima at the back. It has also a clump of trees on the western part of its double summit.

The White-topped Rock (p. 486,) is half a mile W. by S. of the South point of Masima, and the ground southward of it towards the village of Obama is rocky and uneven as far as a rock, awash at low water, which lies 3 cables from the shore and is 6 cables S. S. W. of Masima. There is chow-chow water even outside this which it would be prudent also to avoid.

　　　Directions (p. 480). When passing Cape Iyo the western or Junk channel will be seen open. Proceel E. S. E. and round Kosima (thus opening the strait) at 3 or 4 cables till the course is S. S. W., changing to South when passing the west point of Masima at 2 cables. After rounding the South point of Masima at 3 cabies, steer S. E. by E. and giving the islets off Osima a good berth, haul up E. N. E. Easterly through the Bingo nada.

There is much clow-chow water in the strait, especially off Kosima on the flood; a mid-channel course will avoid that which appears dangerous.

From the Eastward:-After rounding the islets off Osima the western or Junk channel only will be seen open: steer N. W. by W. for (or to the right of) the White topped Rock and haul up North between it and Masima. west point of Masima keep a mid-channel or N. N. E. course and round Kosima at half a mile.

After passing the

　　　Anchorage may be obtained off Imaharu; also off the South end of the village of Obama, one mile north of Imaharu, in 6 to 9 fathoms.

　　　Tides. It is high water, full and change, at 11 h.; springs rise 10 feet. The flood here comes in from the westward. Both streams run with great velocity in the strait at springs; at neaps about 4 knots.

IYO NADA,

　　　Iyo Nana. [p. 485.] Keep to the route recommended; it is the best passage, and no time is saved by passing North of Nukusira where the tides are very perplexing, specially with a vessel under canvas.

SIMONOSEKI STRAIT.

　　　Tano Pank._[p. 482.] A better leading mark for passing between the Tano Bank and the Kanabuse Rock is—a large clump of trees on Takas.ki, the South point of Simonoseki town, in line with the high water of Mozi point. The so-called Custom house is seldom to be recognized.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 12TH JANUARY, 1867.

Middle Ground.—There is a 2 fathoms patch on the South-eastern part of this shoal not laid down on the chart; and a cluster of dangerous rocks, called Takaba, is reported to lie between it and Kanabuse rock.

Buoy.--If a buoy be placed in this vicinity, it will be at the southern edge of the Middle Channel, north of Barruse Shoal, the channel here for vessels of heavy draught being only 2 cables broad at low water, and the course through it East.

　　A Lighthouse has been erected on the Bluff at the south side of the entrance of Port Ne above high water, a light from which will be exhibited on the 23rd January, 1867.

at an elevation of 292 feet

The Lighthouse is in Latitude 29° 52′ 50′′ S., and Longitude 31° 3′ 35′′ E. The building is an iron tower, in the form of a frustrum of a cone, 81 feet high,inted white; centre of light being 70 feet above the base, exhibiting a revolving white light of the second class (dioptric), aming its greatest brilliancy once every minute.

It is visible in all directions from North (round by East and South), to S. 59° W.; and can be seen from a ship's deck 24 miles in clear weather.

The above light is not visible from the Aliwal Shoal, which is 25 miles S., 53° W., from the Lighthouse: Vessels should not, therefore, when coming from the southward and westward, approach the shore nearer than 4 miles, or shoal their water under 40 fathoms, using the lead freely until they make the light well out from the deck, when they may stand in until it bears N. 59° E.,-which bearing will keep them outside all known danger-until they are abreast of the Umlazi River (about 9 miles below the Lighthouse), when they must keep it more to the northward, as the land trends more to the eastward, giving the shore a good berth of a mile, and when the light bears about E.N.E., they can haul in to the northward for the anchorage: anchoring in 83 to 10 fathoms, with the Lighthouse bearing S. W. to S.W. S., distant 1 mile.

The following Copy of an Order in Council, extending to the Subjects of the Kings of Siam the provisions of the Foreign Deserters' Act, 1852, is published for general information.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 23rd January, 1867.

At the Court at Windsor, the 10th day of November, 1866.

PRESENT,

The QUEEN'S Most Excellent Majesty in Council.

W. T. MERCER, Colonial Secretary.

WHEREAS by the "Foreign Deserters' Act, 1852," it is provided, that whenever it is made to appear to Her Majesty that due facilities are or will be given for recovering or apprehending seamen who desert from British merchant-ships in the territories of any Foreign Power, Her Majesty may, by Order in Council, stating that such facilities are or will be given, declare that seamen, not being slaves, who desert from merchant-ships belonging to such Powers, when within Her Majesty's dominions, shall be liable to be apprehended and carried on board their respective ships, and may limit the operation of such Order, and may render the operation thereof subject to such conditions and qualifications, if any, as may be deemed expedient; and whereas it has been made to appear to Her Majesty, that due facilities are given for recovering and apprehending seamen who desert from British merchant-ships in the territories of their Majesties the Kings of Siam;

Now, therefore, Her Majesty, by virtue of the powers, vested in her by the said "Foreign Deserters' Act, 1852," and hy and with the advice of Her Privy Council, is pleased to order and declare, and it is hereby ordered and declared, that, from and after the publication hereof in the London Gazette, seamen, not being slaves, who, within Her Majesty's dominions, desert from merchant-ships belonging to the Kingdom of Siam, shall be liable to be apprehended and carried on board their respective ships:

Provided always, that if any such deserter has committed any crime in Her Majesty's dominions he may be detained until he has been tried by a competent Court, and until his sentence (if any) has been fully carried into effect.

　　And the Lords Commissioners of Her Majesty's Treasury, the Right Honourable the Earl of Carnarvon, the Right Honourable Viscount Cranbourne, and the Right Honourable Spencer Horatio Walpole, three of Her Majesty's Principal Secretaries of State, are to give the necessary directions herein accordingly.

(Signed)

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.

His Excellency SIR RICHARD GRAVES MACDONNELL having reason to think, that many Chinese labor under a mistaken notion that they cannot apply direct to the Registrar General, who is also Protector of the Chinese, when they have any grievance to redress or petition to present, reminds them that the office of the Registrar General is always open to the Chinese, and that Officer is most ready and willing to forward petitions to the GOVERNOR and to hear statements made to him by Chinese. Neither the Registrar General nor the GOVERNOR will send replies to any communication not signed by the actual petitioner, nor will such replies be sent to any party but the petitioner himself. It is the wish of the GOVERNOR, as it is the interest also of the Chinese, that the latter should avail themselves, as far as possible, of the means afforded by Government, for enabling them to communicate directly with the Registrar General, and His Excellency hopes they will see the advantage of so doing.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.

His Excellency SIR RICHARD GRAVES MACDONNELL having reason to think, that many Chinese labor under a mistaken notion that they cannot apply direct to the Registrar General, who is also Protector of the Chinese, when they have any grievance to redress or petition to present, reminds them that the office of the Registrar General is always open to the Chinese, and that Officer is most ready and willing to forward petitions to the GOVERNOR and to hear statements made to him by Chinese. Neither the Registrar General nor the GOVERNOR will send replies to any communication not signed by the actual petitioner, nor will such replies be sent to any party but the petitioner himself. It is the wish of the GOVERNOR, as it is the interest also of the Chinese, that the latter should avail themselves, as far as possible, of the means afforded by Government, for enabling them to communicate, directly with the Registrar General, and His Excellency hopes they will see the advantage of so doing.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 9TH FEBRUARY, 1867.

HONGKONG, 4th February, 1867.

SIR,-I have the honour of presenting to you my second Annual Report on the Government Schools in this Colony. Following the plan adopted last year I shall divide my Report into two parts, the first having special reference to the Central School, and the second to the Village Schools. These will be followed by a series of Tables giving in a condensed form an estimate of the extent to which the Chinese community have availed themselves of the Government Scheme of educa- tion during the five years of my connexion with the schools.

THE CENTRAL SCHOOL.

　　　From the peculiar position which I occupy with respect to this school I am unable to enter with minuteness into, or to speak with impartiality of, its merits, defects, discipline, in short, all that is connected with the system which has been adopted and the mode in which it is carried out. I must therefore confine myself to a few particulars more in the form of statistics than in that of an opinion as to the actual state of the school.

　　　The subjects taught are substantially the same as they were last year. The Irish National School Books and the Trans- lation into English of portions of the Chinese Classics form, with the ordinary branches of all National Schemes of education, the sum and substance of the work. Nothing higher has, as yet, been attempted for two very obvious reasons. In the first place, the boys are, ipso facto, dependent on the English Masters for all their instruction. The Chinese Assistants are not competent, even under the closest supervision, to do more than teach the most elementary of the subjects. Reading, Translation, Composition, Geography, and all beyond the simplest rules of Arithmetic if not attended to personally by the English Masters had much better not be attempted at all. When it is considered that last year the scholars in the Upper School numbered eighty six and in the Lower School ninety six it becomes very evident that there is little time left for going on to the more advanced subjects of History, Algebra, and Geometry. The great aim hitherto has been to push on the more intelligent of the boys only as far as shall not be inconsistent with all, except the incorrigible, obtaining a fair average amount of instruction, in other words, not to neglect the many for the benefit of the few; and, until the services of another English Master have been obtained, I see little hope of much more being done. Then, in the second place, when the boys reach that stage in their progress when they would be capable of appreciating, and profiting by, a more advanced course of instruction they leave school for situations in which they can turn their knowledge of English to practical account. They have not yet learned to consider education an aim in itself. It is, at present, but a means to a particular end, and the minimum amount that can serve their purpose is all that they seek for.

As the year drew to a close I began to fear that the increased size of the classes would be found to have operated preju- dicially on the general efficiency of the school. The results, however, of the examinations which have just been held have to a certain extent proved that these fears were groundless. Of the total value of the papers set to the first class only two failed to reach the minimum of one third which may be allowed as a fair standard for passing. Two failed in the second class and four in the third. Thus, of the sixty nine examined in the Upper School eight would have failed had the examinations been held for any other purpose beyond that of testing how far master and scholar had succeeded, the one in imparting, the other in receiving, the instruction given during the year. Nearly equal results were obtained in the Lower School where it may be a question whether written examinations are not too severe a test considering the age of the boys and the short time they have been at school..

In my last Report I stated that I entertained the hope of being soon able to overcome many difficulties connected with the school by training Chinese Assistants for their work. I then anticipated that I should always be able to retain two of the more advanced boys for a period of at least four years, after which they might, if they chose, find employment elsewhere and be succeeded by the two who stood next to them. This project has all but failed. The demand for the services of the more intelligent of the boys is so great that it is, in the meantime, hopeless to expect them to remain for any length of time. The two in whose case the experiment was tried have both left many months ago. Their place has been filled by others, but these will doubtless leave also, just when they are beginning to be of real service to the school. I shall not, however, abandon the scheme. Out of several it may be possible to retain some; and, as the knowledge of English becomes more general and situations therefore more difficult to be obtained, the greater will be the probability that these Assistants will remain until, at least, others are fully qualified to take their place.

His Excellency the Governor has signified his intention of extending the course of study by the introduction of Lectures on the simpler elements of Science,Chemistry, Electricity, and other branches of Natural Philosophy. I trust that, at first, only very moderate expectations will be entertained of their success. Considerable difficulty must attend the communication of a knowledge of these subjects through the medium of a language in which the scholars are but in their first stages of advancement, and for the ordinary nomenclature of which there exist, as yet, no equivalents in Chinese. To this must be added the fact already referred to that the boys leave school by far too early for acquiring a taste for such studies. It must not be supposed that I am throwing difficulties in the way or attempting to exaggerate those that confessedly exist. In every school, where it is possible, more attention should be given to such subjects than is generally done, and the Central School should certainly not be content to remain in ignorance of such branches of knowledge considering the advantages that would arise from their diffusion. I have thought it right, however, in making reference to the proposal to mod?rate as far as possible any undue expectations of success. I hope that, at first, the amusement to be derived from the Lectures will be considered as not the least essential reason for their introduction, and all that it is possible to do shall be done to make them, in time, pro- fitable sources of instruction as well.

Would the Revenue of the Colony permit of it I would recommend most strongly the appointment of another English Master not only for reasons already given but for the additional one that a class could then be formed of boys whose parents are able to pay a higher scale of fees for a higher grade of instruction than can be given under present circumstances. There are several boys now in the school who could advance to Algebra, Geometry, and kindred studies could it be found possible to devote time to them, but the time thus spent would have to be taken from more elementary cubjects to the detriment of the present average proficiency of the school. For these reasons I cannot hold out hopes of much higher than present results so long as present circumstances remain as they are.

I am glad that it has at last been decided that the school is to be no longer exclusively confined to the Chinese, as this will be the first step to a more general extension of education to other and equally deserving portions of the community. How the amalgamation of the different races in one school will be found to succeed if advantage of the privilege is taken to any great extent no one can at present undertake to say. It will not be without difficulties, perhaps serious ones, but these must be encountered not only for the sake of many children in the Colony who are without the means of instruction and who, unlike their Chinese neighbours, would be very glad to avail themselves of such advantages, but also for the sake of the repu tation of the Government whose duty as well as interest it is to dispense its gifts with perfect impartiality. I am only afraid that when the announcement has been made public the alacrity with which it will be responded to may be attended with serious embarrassment. That it will lead ultimately to the establishment of another school, both from the number of applica- tions and from differences that will be found necessary in the system of teaching, I do not think there can be a doubt; and, that the public education of the Colony should tend to this result, all its well wishers must be gratified to find.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 9TH FEBRUARY, 1867.

I have not yet been able to get the Chinese department into the satisfactory state in which I could wish to see it. The inability of the Masters to comprehend a system of teaching that differs from their own, and, it may be, their tacit opposition. to any change that is proposed, from their knowledge of my comparative ignorance of what a Chinese education really is, doubtless go far to retard the efficiency of this part of the work. Improvement is appearing although slowly, and it is to be hoped that ere long this duty will be not less carefully performed than the others. There seem to be grave doubts in the minds of many as to the propriety or necessity of devoting the half of the boys' time to the study of their own language. For myself I have none.. I hold it to be an axiom that a boy cannot be taught a foreign language without a knowledge of his own, unless, indeed, he is sent to the country where the language is spoken, and that his progress in the one will be in proportion to his attainments in the other. Chinese is not studied at the Central School so much for the sake of making the boys acquainted with what their sages have written as that they may master as far as possible the language as a language, in the investigation of its elements, and in the construction of its parts. I know of no more humiliating spectacle than to see boys, as we frequently do in Hongkong, who know English much better than they do Chinese, who entirely neglect their own language when they begin to learn the other, and who when asked for the translation of a letter or a petition fail to render it intelligibly. If there is anything which ought to be aimed at in connexion with the School it is that this disgrace shall not attach to it.

　　　The payment of fees has not proved the slightest drawback to the school. The sum paid into the Treasury during last year amounted to $1,231.97. I had it in contemplation to propose the raising of the fee in the Lower School this year, but, on consideration, I think it would be advisable, in the present rather unsettled state of the minds of the Chinese, to make no change for at least six months. As a rule, the parents of the boys are not in very prosperous circumstances, and hence any additional tax on their resources would not be likely to be well received. As soon, however, as trade revives among the Chinese and the Colony regains its previous status I shall propose the increasing of the fee. To do so in the meantime would be highly impolitic, and this conclusion has not been arrived at without consideration and enquiry.

　　　I think it but right in concluding this part of my Report to take the opportunity of recording my sense of the obligations under which the school lies to C. C. Smith, Esquire, Registrar General, for the handsome contribution he put into my hands in order to increase the Prize Fund. In the present, comparatively speaking, infant state of the school any encouragement of this nature is invaluable, and I need scarcely say that I wish it were more common.

THE VILLAGE SCHOOLS.

　　　I shall not enter, at any length, into this part of my Report as, on consideration, I find that it would involve the repetition of a great deal of what was stated last year. An attempt was then made to show what these schools are, how they are conducted, and the nature of the instruction of which they are made the vehicle. In all these respects they continue as they were. They are simply schools where the villagers can obtain for their children, free of all cost, such an education as would be given to them in any native school in China, and, although this may be very barren of what we consider as the necessary elements of any education that is worth the name, it is not to be supposed that it is useless. It is founded on principles which are strictly moral, which have minute reference to all the relations of life, and which have sustained, from centuries before Europe was civilized to the present day, the whole fabric of Chinese polity and manners. It, at least, deserves to be maintained until the Colony is in a position to substitute something better in its stead. This is not intended as a defence of a Chinese education but merely a statement of the grounds on which the Government bases its present relations with these schools.

　　　I have, in conclusion, to refer you to the following Tables for all statistical information.—I have the honour to be, Sir, Your most obedient Servant,

FREDERICK STEWART, Head Master and Inspector.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.

　　At the request of the Government of Mauritius the following Notice, announcing the intention of exhibiting, from the 24th May next, at the entrance of Port Louis Harbor, a Floating Light, instead of the present Harbor Lights, is published for the information of Mariners and others whom it may

concern.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 6th February, 1867.

W. T. MERCER, Colonial Secretary.

NOTICE.

　　On the 24th of May 1867, the Harbour Lights at the Entrance of Port Louis, Mauritius, will be done away with, Floating Light at the Bell Buoy Anchorage will be substituted.

and

　　The Floating Light Vessel will be moored a little to the N. Wrd. of the present well known Bell Buoy, with the following bearings:

Extreme of land to the Northward: N.E.?N.

Extreme of land to the Westward: W.S.W.

Flagstaff on Fort George S.ES.

Depth of Water: 15 fathoms.

The Light Vessel will be painted white, which will enable her to be distinctly seen against the dark land during the day. She will shew a "flashing white Light" from Sunset to Sunrise, which will be visible a distance of 9 miles in every direction from Seaward, from the poop of a large vessel.

　　The fact of this being a flashing Light, at short intervals, will sufficiently distinguish it from the Revolving Light at Flat Island, even were a mistake possible.

Vessels from the Northward, after rounding Cannonier Point, must be careful not to bring Cannonier Point Light to the Westward of Flat Island Light, till the Floating Light at the Bell Buoy is seen; they may then steer for the latter, on a S.S.W.W. bearing, and anchor on that bearing, from a mile to a mile from the Light.

　　Vessels approaching the Point from the Westward, may steer for the Floating Light on an E.bN.IN. bearing, and either anchora mile from her on that bearing, or further to the Northward as convenient.

The Mooring Chain of the Floating Light runs about 150 fathoms in a N.N.W. direction, Vessels must therefore be anchored in such a manner as to avoid hooking it.

The depths at the anchorage vary from 12 to 20 fathoms.

All the bearings are Compass bearings.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.

VOL. XIII.

It is hereby notified by His Excellency The GOVERNOR, in accordance with instructions received from The Right Honorable The EARL OF CARNARVON, Her Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for the Colonies, that the Prussian Ambassador has made known to Lord STANLEY, that in consequence of the Union with the Prussian Monarchy of the Kingdom of Hanover, of the Electorate of Hesse, and of the Free State of Frankfort-on-the-Maine, the Consular Posts of the aforesaid Countries are abolished, and united with the Prussian Consular Service.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.

　　　The following Decision of the Marine Court of Inquiry into the charges brought by the Crew of the British Barque Moldavian against JOHN JOBSON, Chief Mate of the said Vessel, is published for general information.

By Order,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 15th February, 1867.

W. T. MERCER, Colonial Secretary.

FINDING.

The Court having considered the evidence adduced conclude:

　　　First. That JOHN JOBSON, only Mate, the number of whose Certificate of Competency is 31,602, did violently assault JOSEPH MEADOWs, able Seaman of the Moldavian at Swatow on the 21st December last, and that the assault was unprovoked. Second. That JOHN JOBSON did violently assault WILLIAM JOBLIN, Carpenter, and GEORGE LUNEBURG, 2nd Mate and Boatswain when in the Woosung River on the 3rd instant:-in the case of JOBLIN there was some provocation, but not sufficient to justify the Mate committing the assault he did-in the case of LUNEBURG there was no provocation. Third.-JOHN JOBSON appears to have struck other men, but the assaults were not of a serious nature.

We therefore adjudge that the Certificate of JOHN JOBSON be suspended for three months.

　　　The Court is of opinion that the Master is deserving of censure for not having preserved proper discipline on board his ship.

Given under our hands at Hongkong, this 12th day of February, 1867.
