(3.)-In the event of such master or owner neglecting or refusing to alter the position of the lanthorns, or cut away such portion of her lower courses as the Surveyor or Inspector may direct, such Surveyor or Inspector may report the fact to the Collector of Customs for the purpose of stopping the ship, and such Collector may refuse to grant the vessel a clearance under Section 30 of the Merchant Shipping Act Amendment Act, 1862, until he receives a report from the Surveyor or Inspector to the effect that his requirements have been complied with.

(4.)-If after a vessel has been passed by such Surveyor or Inspector as carrying properly constructed and fixed lanthorns and lights, the master fixes them in such a position that they may be or are obscured by the vessel's square foresail, and are not under such circumstances visible for a distance of two miles from right ahead to two points abaft the beam, on the respective sides, as required by Article 3, read in connection with Article 20 of the Regulations, such master will be guilty of a misdemeanor under Section 27 of the Merchant Shipping Act Amendment Act, 1862.

A CHINESE AND ENGLISH DICTIONARY,

THE REVD. W. LOBSCHEID.

[HE above work, which has been chiefly com-

the study of Chinese literature, comprises many characters not met with in any of the Dictionaries hitherto published.

The selection of between 8,000 and 9,000 cha- racters will make it comparatively easy to find a character without counting the strokes of the compound figures, (minus the radical), and the addition of the Synonyms will prove a great help to such as are anxious to acquaint themselves more minutely with the character of the lan- guage.

The work contains 584 Imperial Octavo pages, and is neatly bound in cloth.

H. To report as to the expediency of continuing to maintain, with Chinese co-operation and pecuniary aid, the auxiliary force of "District Watchmen," and to ascertain whether the latter body has rendered any essential or useful service to the Colony, also whether, as at present controlled, there is any real danger to be apprehended practically from allowing such a force to be maintained.

I. Whether the Public safety and general interests of the Colony are promoted or not by the present institution of a Police Fire Brigade intended to act with great promptitude at the commencement of a fire, and whether the Commission has any suggestions to offer on the subject. 10. Finally, the Members of the Commission may feel assured that, without defining more par- ticularly the subjects intended for their special investigation, any suggestions which they may offer with a view to promoting the general security of life and property by improving the Police Force, will receive from the Executive the most earnest and favorable consideration possible under the circumstances.

A CHINESE AND ENGLISH DICTIONARY,

THE above work, which has been chiefly com- the study of Chinese literature, comprises many characters not met with in any of the Dictionaries hitherto published.

The selection of between 8,000 and 9,000 cha- racters will make it comparatively easy to find a character without counting the strokes of the compound figures; (minus the radical), and the addition of the Synonyms will prove a great help to such as are anxious to acquaint themselves more minutely with the character of the lan- guage.

The work contains 584 Imperial Octavo pages, and is neatly bound in cloth.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 10th February, 1872.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 10TH FEBRUARY, 1872.

FINDING OF THE COURT.

Firstly. That the British ship "British Admiral," Official Number 55,071, sailed from San Francisco on the 8th October, 1871, and on the 20th November following was in a hurricane in Latitude 20 degrees North, Longitude 135 degrees East, in which, owing to the shifting of the ballast, the Vessel was thrown on her beam ends and completely dismasted, the three lower masts with all attached going by the board.

Secondly. That sufficient and proper steps were taken by the Master and Officers to rig jury masts

under which every attempt was made to make a Port.

Thirdly.—That on the 14th day of January, 1872, the Vessel being unmanageable and in a hopeless position as regarded reaching any Port was justifiably abandoned; the Officers and Crew being praiseworthily received on board the British ship "James Lister," WILLIAM HUNTER, Master, which Vessel fortunately hove in sight of the dismasted ship on the 13th January. The Officers and Crew appear to have exhibited perfect discipline and obedience to orders.

The Court, therefore, returns to the Master and two Mates their Certificates of Competency. Given under our hands at Hongkong, this 8th day of February, 1872.

　　The following Report from the Captain Superintendent of Police for the Year 1871, is published for general information.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 17th February, 1872.

No 30.

CECIL C. SMITH, Acting Colonial Secretary.

VICTORIA, HONGKONG, 31st January, 1872. SIR,I have the honor to forward, for the information of His Excellency the Governor, the Crime and other Returns for the Year 1871.

　　2. In the Tables of comparison of Crime I have adopted the ainended Returns of 1870, dated the 19th October, 1871, as the basis of comparison, in lieu of those formerly supplied to me as detailed in C. S. O. No. 2,792 of 1871. It will be within His Excellency's knowledge that the Officer who compiled those Returns is unable to explain how the discrepancies could have arisen. (Letter No. 228 of 1871.)

　　3. The exhaustive Report that I had the honor to forward on the 22nd September, 1871, together with the fact that a Commission is now sitting for the purpose of investigating Police Matters and Police Law, precludes the necessity of a lengthened Report on this occasion.

　　4. I have, however, to draw attention to the fact that the second column of Offences formerly headed "Burglaries and Forcible Entries" has, for 1871 and 1870, been altered to " Burglaries and Larcenies in Dwelling Houses." "Larcenies in Dwelling Houses" were formerly placed under the head of "Larcenies."

　　5. The Murders reported are in number four, one of a Chinese woman by a Malay, who was executed. The second of a woman on board a boat at Aberdeen by four Chinese, who were arrested immediately afterwards owing to the prompt action taken by Inspector Burns, and they were sen- tenced to death. Extenuating circumstances having transpired, this sentence was commuted to penal servitude for different periods. The third case is where a mutilated child was found on the roadway, no arrest was made in this case. The fourth case is that of poisoning on board the barque Audax; a Malay seaman was arrested, but no conclusive evidence was procured.

6. With reference to Highway Robberies, Burglaries and Larcenies in Dwelling Houses, there is a small decrease on last year, but it was especially noticeable that Europeans and European Houses were attacked out of all proportion to the experience of previous years.

7. I have omitted the column of "Persons Implicated," as in cases of Burglary and some other Offences it is impossible to arrive at any reliable information.

8. The comparison of Crime between 1871 and 1870, is as follows:--

Serious Crimes have increased by 77 cases or 5.67 per cent; which result arises from an increase of 129 cases of Larceny, 48 of Unlawful Possession, 6 of Piracy, and 1 of Murder; in other Serious Offences there has been a decrease.

9. Minor Offences amount to 5,018, being an increase of 845 cases or 20.24 per cent over 1870. This increase is in cases of Assault 258, no Pass or Lamp (Lamp Regulation passed in 1871,) 334, Miscellaneous 179, and Nuisances 144. The decrease is in Gambling 17, and Drunkenness 53 cases.

10. The following Tables are appended:--

Return of Crime for 1871.

B.-Return of Arrests of Suspicious Persons.

C.--Return of Constables who have joined, been dismissed, &c. D. Return of Punishments inflicted on Members of the Police. E.--Comparative Returns of Crime for 1869, 1870 and 1871. F.-Stable Return by the Acting Deputy Superintendent. G.-School Report.

VOTES AND PROCEEDINGS OF THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL OF HONGKONG.

No. 13 OF 1871.

THURSDAY, 16TH NOVEMBER, 1871. PRESENT:

His Excellency Major-General WHITFEILD, Lieutenant-Governor.

The Honorable the Chief Justice (JOHN SMALE).

The Honorable the Colonial Secretary (JOHN GARDINER AUSTIN). The Honorable the Acting Attorney General (HENRY JOHN BALL). The Honorable the Acting Colonial Treasurer (CECIL CLEMENTI SMITH).

The Honorable PHINEAS RYRIE.

The Honorable WILLIAM KESWICK.

ABSENT:

The Honorable RICHARD ROWETT, absent on leave.

The Council meets this day at 2.30 P.M., by Special Summons.

The Minutes of the Council held on the 1st of November, are read and confirmed.

The Honorable The Colonial Secretary, Chairman of the Special Committee appointed to examine and report upon the Clauses of the "Hongkong Pier and Godown Company' Bill, brings up their Report, suggesting Amendments therein; and the same is read and received.

The Report is as follows:-

"Report of the Special Committee on the proposed Ordinance to authorize the "Hongkong Pier and Godown Company, Limited," to construct a Pier in the Harbor of Victoria, and to confer upon the said Company certain other Powers and Privileges.

"In considering this Bill and the plans for the Pier which the Company propose to erect at Wanchai, we have been assisted by the opinions of Merchants, professional men, and others, some of whom are interested and others entirely uninterested in the proposed scheme. We have, also, heard the views of the Directors of the Company through their Counsel Mr. HAYLLAR.

"The erection of such a Pier as that projected would, in our opinion, be of undoubted and great advantage to the Colony, and would meet a want much required. The scheme, therefore, appears to deserve at the hands of the Executive and of the Legislative Council that support which the Bill is likely to give. But in recommending that the Bill, as amended, be passed, we trust that the Government, under the powers therein conferred, will not sanction the erection of the Pier unless the Company are prepared to alter the plans now before the Council, so as to give facilities to Foreign and Chinese boats for passing to and fro through the Pier at short distances from the Praya wall. For this purpose we consider that there should be two openings of 40 feet each in breadth within 300 feet from the Praya, and further that the outermost opening should be furnished with a draw-bridge or swing-bridge to be opened during boisterous weather at the instance of the Harbor Master, and at such other times as the Governor in Council may by order direct. Or in lieu of this draw-bridge, we think that a permanent fixed opening should be so constructed as to allow of a height of 10 feet from high water mark.

"It has not been overlooked that such a requirement as the last would, in the one case, somewhat impede the traffic of the Pier, as we think that the bridge should be open if necessary at high water, and in the other, might perhaps necessitate the giving up the proposal

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 2ND MARCH, 1872.

to lay down Tramways on the Pier. Still the Lessees of Marine Lots in the neighborhood of the property of the Company, are entitled to have their claims for easy access to their property considered, and it would, in our opinion, be wholly unjust and inexpedient to sanction an undue obstruction to the free passage along the Eastern portion of the Harbor hitherto enjoyed by a large floating population.

"With these observations, we have the honor to submit an amended Bill for the consi- deration of the Council."

J. GARDINER AUSTIN. HENRY JOHN BALL. CECIL C. SMITH.

(Signed,)

P. RYRIE.

R. ROWETT.

"Council Chamber, 11th November, 1871."

"I do not in all respects approve of the views expressed in the Committee's Report. "A Pier, designed to afford all the facilities that have been stated will be derived from the construction in question, would, doubtless, be of great utility and importance to the Colony, but it appears to me only necessary to remark that the property of the Company is of 210 feet frontage and 267 feet depth, to establish a serious doubt of the capacity of such an area, to accommodate the traffic of Hongkong to such an extent as to render of no consequence, the inconvenience, delay, and danger which the Pier, on the plans given in by the Company, would cause to the conveyance of goods in the harbour. I believe I am correct in viewing the capacity of such a piece of land, when covered with Godowns, as wholly inadequate to afford those facilities which are expected of the Pier, and for which it is desired that the Colony should surrender its right to a highway for Boats along the Wanchai shore; and I am of opinion that the utmost care should be taken in granting concessions to the Company that nothing shall be erected that would impede general traffic far more seriously than would be compensated for by the facilities which it is hoped the Wharf would afford.

"If the Pier were made in its whole length on a level with the Praya and with no elevation to the openings, the evidence obtained by the Committee showed that the passages would, to all intents and purposes, be little better than useless. The alternative remedies proposed by the Committee I do not think sufficient, or in their character altogether desirable, and for these reasons:

“1st.—That I am of opinion that the traffic, present and prospective, requires that there should be two openings each of 40 feet in width and of 10 feet in height above high water level, and that these openings should not be subject to being closed.

"2nd. That a Pier with a draw-bridge would, if the passages were to be of use to the public, be rendered liable to be frequently opened, thus subjecting the work of the Wharf to interruptions and delays that would prove very seriously detrimental to the despatch, upon which, as an undertaking of a public character, so much of its success depends.

"3rd. That though important that Boats with immovable masts should have passage, I do not think any serious hardship or injustice would be done by excluding them, and I consider they should be looked upon as subordinate, in the public interest, to the Pier which could not give them passage without serious injury to its usefulness. "I advocate, therefore, that the Pier should be raised sufficiently at the openings to afford a passage of 10 feet in height at high water, and that the Company should have the right con- ceded to a permanent and fixed way over the openings.

"I understand no serious difficulties would be encountered in making such an elevation, but even if there were, I think the Directors of the Company and its Engineer would overcome them."

(Signed,) W. KESWICK.

The Council then goes into Committee upon the Clauses of the Bill as amended :-

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.

The following Decision of the Marine Court of Inquiry into the Loss of the British Steamer Chu Kiang, Official Number 63,541, on Reef Island, is published for general information.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 29th February, 1872.

FINDING OF THE COURT.

CECIL C. SMITH, Acting Colonial Secretary.

1st. That the British Steamer Chu Kiang, Official No. 63,541, sailed from Shanghai, bound for Hongkong at 5 A.M. on the 4th February, 1872, having a cargo of Rice and Sundries, and a total Crew of 40 hands (including the Supercargo and his staff); of which the Master, two Officers, three Engineers and Carpenter were Europeans, also one European and sixteen Chinese Passengers.

2nd. That at 8 A.M. on the 5th February, Hea Chu was distinctly sighted and the ship's position known; the weather was hazy, increasing to thick fog during the afternoon of the 5th February. 3rd. That the fog was dense during the night of the 5th February, continuing so on the morning of the 6th at about 8 A.M. land was seen, believed to be the Scattered Yits, but it is clear that this was a mistake, and even if so the vessel was known to be out of position as expected from the course and distance run.

4th. That at about 10 A.M., breakers were seen ahead not five hundred yards from the vessel, and at this juncture from the wheel being put hard a-starboard the port wheel rope broke, the vessel striking on the rocks of Reef Island, Lat. 25° 17′ 45′′ North, Long. 119° 47′ 45′′ East, becoming a total wreck in a short time.

5th.-During the whole of the dense fog the vessel was kept at full speed, and when unexpected and uncertain land was seen, soundings were not taken, and no effort made to find out the true position. 6th. The Court finds that there was an absence of prudent precaution which demands a marked expression of condemnation, and therefore suspends the Certificate of the Master for Six Months from this date.

7th. The Court further finds that the Mate is deserving of a reprimand for the careless and insufficient manner in which he kept the Ship's Log, and that he offered no suggestion to the Master to take necessary precautions.

Confirmed,

No. 41.

WEST COAST OF KOREA.

The following information relating to the Sir James Hall group of islands, off the west coast of Korea, was obtained during a brief visit in H.M.S. Ringdove in 1871, by Navigating Lieutenant James Cole, R.N.*

[All Bearings are Magnetic. Variation 3° 20' W. in 1871.]

The Sir James Hall group consists of three principal islands, lying nearly north and south, and were sighted by the Ringdove at a distance of 30 miles.

The native names of the group were ascertained to be, Southern island, Soo-cheng-tao; Middle island, Ta-cheng-tao; and Northern, Peh-leng-tao.

Soo-cheng-tao or Ringdove Island has off its south-west point a dangerous reef, (with some of the rocks always uncovered,) extending in a south-west direction for about a mile; 19 fathoms, sand and mud, was obtained at a distance of nearly 2 miles off the south-west point of the island.

The south-east point of the island is remarkable from its being fronted with white cliffs. 4 sharp conical rock lies about a quarter of a mile to the east-south-east of the point.

Detached rocks as also the appearance of shoal water extend for half a mile from the east side of the island: soundings in from 10 to 13 fathoms were obtained at a distance of about 1 miles from the shore.

The Ringdove anchored in a bay, in which are two villages, on the south side of the island, in 9 fathoms, sand. This bay affords shelter from W.S.W. round by north, to E. by N., but is entirely open to the southward. Vessels on entering this bay from the west- ward, should not approach the south-west point of the island nearer than 2 miles until the centre of the bay bears N.N.W., when they may steer in, and anchor in 8 fathoms.

　　　With the conical rock off the south-east point of the island bearing E. by N., and the centre of the western village N.W. N., there is a depth of 7 fathoms.

Ta-cheng-tao or Hertha Island is the middle island of the group, it has a conspicuous hill or peak about 900 feet high, with a conical form when seen from the westward. A small islet, 170 feet high, lies about one mile off the west side.

On the south-east side of the island is a bay with a shingle beach, in which the Ringdove anchored in 8 fathoms, sand, of a small village, with the east point of the bay bearing N. by E. 4 E., and centre of village S.W. by W. W. The anchorage is protected from S.S.W. round by west to N. by E.; Ringdove island affords further shelter from heavy seas from the southward; it is therefore preferable to the anchorage in the south bay of that island.

　　　Peh-leng-tao or Ocean Island is the northern and largest of the group. The north-west point of the island is fronted by bold per- pendicular cliffs about 300 feet high. Off the extreme point is a needle or finger-shaped rock about 150 feet high.

Along the north-west side of the island, a few detatched rocks extend a cable off shore.

Off the south point of the island, there is a remarkable rocky islet, with a large wedge-shaped hole through its north side. About 14 miles to the southward of this perforated islet is a sharp rock 50 feet in height, with a ledge of rocks extending one third of a mile from its north side; two of these rocks are always uncovered. At a quarter of a mile south of the 50 feet rock is broken water, having the appearance of a rock nearly awash at low water.

About three quarters of a mile to the east-south-east of the perforated islet are some detatched rocks, the outermost of which is 20 feet high. Between these rocks and the ledge of rocks to the north of the 50 feet rock is a channel carrying from 7 to 8 fathoms in it.

　　　The Ringdove anchored off a small village in a bay near the south-west point of the island, about three quarters of a mile from the shore, in 12 fathoms hard mud. From the anchorage, the perforated islet, which is off the east point of the bay (south point of Ocean island), bore E. by S. S.; the 50 feet rock S.S.E. E.; and a clump of trees in the valley behind the village N. 4 E.

　　　The hills at the back are smooth-topped and covered with grass, and can easily be distinguished when standing in from the south- eastward.

By observation the Ringdove's anchorage is in lat. 37° 55′ N., long. 124° 45′ E.?

No rocks were observed above water in the channel between Ringdove and Hertha islands.

In the channel between Hertha and Ocean islands, broken water was seen in several places, particularly off the north side of Hertha island; in many cases this appearance was probably occasioned by the tide, but from soundings having been struck in 7 fathoms suddenly after a depth of 13 fathoms shows there is an irregular bottom, and that caution is necessary in using the channel.

Tides. Between the islands, the flood-stream sets to the west, and the ebb-stream to the east.

Off the west side of Ocean (the north) island, the flood-stream sets north, and the ebb-stream south, from 1 to 2 knots an hour. Off the north-west point of Ocean island the time of High water at full and change was approximately considered to be 4h. 30m.

This position would place the Finger rock off the N.W. point of Ocean island in 37° 58′ N., 124° 42′ 30′′ E.

　　　The position of this rock on the charts, 37° 57′ 30′′ N., 124° 34′ 30′′ E., is given on the authority of a survey of the entrance of Ta-Tong river, by Commander Shufeldt, of the United States Navy, 1867.

SARAWAK RIVER, COAST OF BORNEO.

The following information relative to a sunken rock in the Mortabas entrance of the Sarawak river has been received from Commander W. Chimmo, R.N., of H.M. Surveying Vessel Nassau, 1871.*

[All Bearings are Magnetic. Variation 1° 20′ Easterly in 1871.]

　　　The barque Otter, on her way down from Quop anchorage, struck and remained some hours on a pinnacle rock, with only 3 feet on it at low water springs, and deep water all round.

The rock lies nearly in the middle of the river, 12 miles within the entrance points, and E.N.E. about 9 cables from the Belcher rock. The Pilots and small steamers navigating the river always pass to the southward of the rock. Commander Chimmo further gives notice of the following beacons near the town of Sarawak :

The "Rocks-hug this shore" beacon, abreast of Samarang rocks, has been blown down.

　　　A beacon, "keep mid river," is placed in the water nearly opposite the Sago factory, and W. S. about 43 cables from the wertern Samarang rock. This direction beacon is to clear a ledge of rocks running off the southern shore, having only 9 feet at low water.

SULU SEA, WESTERN PART.

The following has also been received from Commander Chimmo:

　　　Viola Rock.-A coral patch, having only 4 feet on it at low water, on which the Spanish vessel Viola struck and remained twenty- three hours, lies about 40 miles East of Balabac island.

　　　There is no doubt as to the existence of this danger, and from information received, its probable position is in lat. 7° 50′ N., long. 117° 40′ 50′′ E.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 2ND MARCH, 1872.

HONGKONG, 15th February, 1872. SIR,—I have the honour to forward to you the Blue Book Returns for the year 1871, together with the Annual Report on the Government Schools for the same period..

2. Although two new schools were opened in the course of the year, the total number under instruction was less than in 1870. There were then 1,302 scholars, as against 1,292 for last year. With one or two exceptions, the attendance at all the schools was less; and this, coupled with the fact that the school at Shek Sh?n, which had a large attendance in 1870, was discontinued in the beginning of 1871, will account for the diminution, amounting in the gross to ten, in the numbers for the year.

　　3. Not only was the number enrolled for the year less, but the regularity in the attendance at most of the schools was considerably interfered with, especially towards the end of the year.

　　4. As this was owing to circumstances connected entirely with the Village Schools, both those supported and those aided, the causes will be fully considered in that part of the Report which refers to them.

　　　5. The Central School continues to advance steadily in point of numbers. The number present during the year was 367, as compared with 337 in 1870. The average monthly enrolment was 249, as against 237 in the previous year; and the average regular attendance for 1870 and 1871 stands as 225 and 234 respectively. The highest and lowest monthly enrolments were 265 and 232, as compared with 248 and 208 in 1870.

6. It is evident from these numbers that causes which tend to interfere with the Village Schools in no way affect the Central School, which has not only held its own, but has advanced steadily, in spite of periodical commercial depressions, and other exceptional causes.

7. On the 10th of next month the school will have had a history of ten years. Although it would be wrong to measure its progress by decades and not by years, I cannot help reverting to the state of things on the opening day, the 10th of March, 1862.

8. Having arrived in the Colony but a few days previously, I had no knowledge of Chinese. I found congregated in the two Chinese class-rooms a crowd of nearly 300 boys, about one half of whom were scholars under the three Chinese masters, whose schools had previously been in various streets in the Upper and Central Bazaars. The rest were either candidates for the English classes, or stray-comers for the gratification of curiosity.

9. The normal state of a Chinese school is that the lessons are shouted at the pitch of the voice. My entrance was the signal for a startling display of this diligence. Unaccustomed to such a deafening din, my first feeling was surprise, and my second anger. I shouted "Silence!" This was tacitly interpreted to mean "Read louder!" Another attempt at order meeting with a fresh accession of noise, I retreated, almost in despair, to one of the lower class-rooms, where I had interviews with my young friends in more manageable detachments.

10. In the course of a day or two, 141 had been arranged in three classes for the learning of English. Of these 55 had some previous knowledge of the language, and 86 had to begin with the alphabet. The remaining 117 read Chinese only. An attempt was made for about six weeks to teach the English classes, with the help of two Chinese assistants, who, at that time, should have been in rather than over a class. The attempt proved abortive, and an appeal to the Board of Edu- cation had the effect of reducing the numbers to 94. Excessive as even this number was for a com- mencement, it was desirable, for many reasons, that it should be maintained. Only one reading book, a very elementary one, could be found in the Colony, and this had to be used in all the classes till school materials could be obtained from England about seven months after.

11. The wonderful docility of the Chinese soon led to the production of order out of what, at first, seemed but a hopeless chaos; and, from that year to the present, beneficial changes and steady progress have been made. A second English master was added in 1864, and a third in 1869. We are now ready for a fourth. In 1862, from want of school materials, from the inexperience of the teachers, and from other patent causes, the instruction was of the most elementary character. Reading, Writing, and Arithmetic was all that could be attempted. As an indication of the state of things now, the papers set to the boys in the highest class, at the last examination, have been appended to this Report. These papers were not prepared with any view to publication, but simply as the usual test of proficiency in the year's work. A glance at them will show more of the progress that has been made than any amount of explanation which could well be given.

12. The standard which must be reached before a boy is considered to have passed, and to be, therefore, eligible for promotion, is one-third of the total number of marks assigned to the various subjects taught in the class. Judged by this standard, the following is the percentage of those who passed, in the various English classes, on the work of last year:-

First (highest) class,. Second

Third

..60 per cent. ..82

Fifth class, Sixth

...57 per cent. ...56

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 2ND MARCH, 1872.

　　13. Although little else could have been expected, it was very disappointing to find so low a percentage in the highest class, especially when it stood at 87 per cent in the previous year. The class was very unfortunate in some respects. No fewer than 29 out of the 36 boys which it contains got situations, and left at various periods during the course of the year; and their places had to be filled as they became vacant by promotions from the junior classes. In addition to this, nine, or one fourth of the whole class, were absent from the examinations, some for their marriage, and others on account of sickness. With two exceptions, these nine absentees would have held respectable places in the class list, had they been able to be present. In the previous year only one was absent, and the class, as a whole, was much more permanent during the year.

　　14. Looked at in this light, the school has a great practical difficulty to contend with. If the classes could by any means be made permanent for a year, or even for half a year, there would be no difficulty in passing a very high percentage of the boys; but, when it is considered that no fewer than 134 left school in the course of the year, it will be evident that, if promotions were not made as vacancies occurred, the school would be always half empty by examination time. Not only is this so, but when promotions have to be made during the three last months of the year, those so promot- ed, while they would have been the first if they had remained in the lower class, are almost sure to fail in the higher one; and this is particularly the case in promotions from the second to the first, where the range of subjects is so much more extensive than it can possibly be in any of the junior classes.

15. Looked at in the light of the situations which are obtained and the promotions which are made, both high prizes in themselves, the result to the scholars is a fortunate one, but it is other- wise to the masters when they come to reckon up the tale, and render an account, of the year's work. 16. Another English master is very much required, not merely for extending the school as to numbers, but for removing, to a great extent, the difficulty alluded to. With his assistance, there can be no doubt that the transition from one class to another would be rendered less abrupt, and the result of the final examinations made more satisfactory. Every effort is made to do this at present, but, with the limited means at our disposal, only partial results can be obtained.

17. It is quite certain that, with another master and additional accommodation, another hundred could be added to the attendance, and the sphere of the school's usefulness thereby enlarged. The school has firmly established itself as one of the permanent institutions of the Colony; and the Chinese, both here and in the adjoining province, regard it with increasing confidence. They now seem to understand its aim and purpose. They do not find in it an attempt to exercise some sinister influence, either religious or political, or both, as was at first more than half suspected. In other parts of China too, and also in Japan, the school is beginning to attract some attention; and, if nothing untoward happens, there is good reason to believe that, before long, the latter country will be more numerously represented at the school than it is at present.

18. Nearly all the nationalities in the Colony have now their representatives in the school, whose doors, it cannot be too well known, are open to all without regard to creed or colour. It is rather surprising still to find, in quarters where one would expect more correct information, grave doubts as to the position which the school holds with regard to religion. There are some who think that we attempt to proselytize. There are others who think that we have a nervous dread of a clergyman entering the place. Both parties could not possibly be more mistaken; but it seems to be the fate of secular education to be distorted and misrepresented. It will not be so always. Ten years will see the superstition exploded; and I hope I shall never again have the humiliation of asserting our honesty in this particular. It is surely too late in the day to assert, on the one hand, that education, whatever protestations are made to the contrary, must be religious; and, on the other, that if it is secular it must be irreligious. Such language is as applicable to the exchange or the counting house as it is to school or college. Science and Language are as distant from dogma as are the details of the Share Market. These are the merest truisms; but theirs is the fault who render

the repetition of them a necessity.

19. Of the 134 boys who left during the year, 50 are known to have obtained lucrative employ- ment; 19 left the Colony and returned to their native places; 33 did not return after the New Year and midsummer holidays, and probably did not return to the Colony; 17 had their names removed from the roll, principally for irregularity, but in one or two cases for disobedience; 11 went to Chinese schools; 5 left on account of sickness; and 1 died. Of those who have obtained employ- ment, 33 are known to be in Hongkong, Canton and adjacent places; 2 in Swatow; 1 in Foochow; 7 in Shanghai; 3 in Japan; 1 in San Francisco; 1 in Annam; 1 in Singapore; and 1 in Bombay.

20. The number of those who left during the year was greater by 39 than in 1870. This points to the difficulty already alluded to, against which the school has to contend. Many boys seem to come without any definite idea of what they intend doing. Many parents, too, who, at first, think nothing of the payment of the small fee, in the course of a month or two begin to grudge it and withdraw their boys, frequently themselves also withdrawing from the Colony. By far the greatest number of those who leave before getting employment is accounted for by the shifting character of the population. In addition to all these causes, there is this other one, that many of the Chinese think that the acquirement of English, or of any other barbarian language, is an affair not of years but of months. When they find their mistake, instead of trying to mend it, they cut the knot of the difficulty, and give themselves no further trouble about a matter of so small importance.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 2ND MARCH, 1872.

　　　21. The problem which the school is working out for itself is whether it is to be one of elemen- tary instruction for the many, or of higher instruction for the few; that is, whether it is ultimately to be for the education of 900 or of 300, for a smaller number than the latter cannot be contemplated. It would be premature, at present, to attempt to solve the problem, and it might be disastrous to adopt, at once, either course, without waiting for, and taking advantage of, the current of events.

22. The only new subject introduced in 1871 was Mathematical Drawing. Not much progress The had been made, as the necessary materials did not arrive from England till late in the year. Music class still progresses, and the Chemistry class has been highly successful. To the Drawing and Music only one hour a week can be devoted; and this, taken in connection with the constant changes in the classes, prevents great or rapid progress. To the Chemistry class more time is devoted, and there is a corresponding result. The weekly exercises connected with this subject, and the papers written at the last examination by the boys who had been in the class for the whole year showed very clearly what could be done if the classes were more permanent.

　　　23. Before another Report is written, I hope to see an entirely new building in the course of construction. No more progress can be made without increased accommodation, and that cannot well be obtained without a new school, built on recognized principles and, therefore, specially adapted for school purposes, which a great part of the present building never was, and never can be. The expense may be a serious consideration; but if the school is worth retaining, and it has established its title to that, the money required should not be grudged, especially at a time when there are funds available which are not likely to be available long. As, however, this subject is receiving the consi- deration of the Government, it need not be further discussed here.

24. The school fees amounted during the year to $1,763.75, of which $1,511.25 went into the Treasury, and $252.50 to the salary of the teacher of the Preparatory class.

　　　25. Nothing now remains but to express the thanks of all connected with the school to our Prize- givers. These were His Excellency the GOVERNOR, His Excellency the LIEUTENANT-GOVERNOR, the Honourable Chief-Justice SMALE, the Honourable C. C. SMITH, Dr. DODS, Mr. Kwo? CHE?NG, Mr. MOORSOM, Mr. RUSSELL, Mr. SAINT, and Mr. WAI KWONG, by whose donations, in addition to the sum on the year's Estimates, prizes to the value of upwards of $300 were awarded at the recent

examination.

26. As previously stated, 1871 did not prove a very favourable year to the Village Schools. The number under instruction for the year was less by 40 than in 1870; and this, although there were two additional schools. The attendance, too, became very irregular towards the end of the year; more so than it had been for the previous year. This was attributable to two causes, the high price of rice and the dullness of trade. In all the villages the same answer was given, when enquiries were made as to the causes of the decreased and the irregular attendance.

Whenever it

was possible for a child to earn a few cash by grass cutting, firewood gathering, or cake selling, he was taken away from school. In the most favourable years the poverty in our villages is something of which few can have any idea, but in a year, such as the last, when the staff of life is dear, it must be something very serious.

27. The Village Schools supported by Government stand in the following order of efficiency:-

1. Stanley.

2. Sai-ying P'?n (Pun-ti.)

3. Girls' School.

4. Bowrington,

5. Sai-ying P'?n (Hak-ka.)

6. Tang-lung Chau (P?n-ti.)

7. Webster's Crescent.

8. Aberdeen.

9. T?i Wong Kung.

10. West End.

11. Wong-nai Chung.

12. Sh?u-ki W?n.

13. Tang-lung Chau (Hak-ka.)

28. Among these schools Stanley continues to hold the pre-eminence. If all the Village Schools were as it is, there would be much cause for congratulation. The master is a good scholar, a diligent and successful teacher, and he enjoys in a high degree the confidence of the villagers. The school- room is always neat and clean. The scholars are regular in their attendance and orderly in their behaviour. A new school-house is much wanted here. The locality of the present one is unhealthy; and to this must be attributed one or two serious attacks of illness from which the master suffered last year. The whole village is said to be unhealthy and the death-rate high, especially at some seasons of the year. A new school-house on one of the knolls adjacent to the village should, if well drained and properly ventilated, be much more healthy than the present one.

29. The new school at T?i Wong Kung in W?n-tsai has been very successful; but, from the fact of its being new, it is too soon to speak confidently about it. It has withdrawn a few of the scholars from Bowrington and a great many from the Hak-ka school at Tang-lung Chau. The wanderers will no doubt find their way back to their old schools by and by; and, if they do not, no harm is done, as long as they are taught at all. If the children could but be got to attend any school, the particular school of their choice would be a matter of very minor importance.

　　30. The Village Schools receiving grants-in-aid are 11 in number. Their relative efficiency stands thus:--

1. Ap-li Chau.

5. Ma-tau Chung

2. T'o-kwa W?n, (Hak-ka.) 6. Little Hongkong.

3. Yau-ma Ti.

4. Ma-t'au Ts'?n.

9. Mong Kok. 10. Hung Hom.

7. T'o-kwa W?n, (Hok-lo.) | 11. Pok-f? Lam. 8. Hok ?n.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 2ND MARCH, 1872.

101

31. The school at Pok-f? Lam was added in the course of the year, and the grant was with- drawn from Shek Sh?n, where the people refused to change the master, although he stood convicted of repeated instances of neglect and disobedience. He is a very cunning old man, and holds some mysterious sway, I suspect of a fortune-telling nature, over the ignorant villagers.

32. A grant was applied for to the school at T?i-kok Tsui, where the new Dock is to be, but the master, on examination, was found to be quite unfit for his duties. The villagers were requested to select another, but they declined. If they could not have the grant with the present master, they would take him without it. They have since thought better of it, and the school is likely to receive the grant this year.

　　33. The villagers of Little Hongkong have again been distinguishing themselves in their own peculiar way. In 1870, they tried to make the master out a thief, in order that the Ti-po's son, an ignorant youngster, might be installed as his successor. Last year, they brought a charge of a most disgraceful nature against the present master, no doubt with the same object. The matter was fully investigated at the Police Court and the lying witnesses fined. I wish it had been in the power of the Magistrate to add a flogging as well. The charge was utterly baseless; and what the state of morality in the village is, may be judged from the fact that the people, knowing well that it was baseless, yet incited five little boys to stick to a story which one of them had concocted in revenge for a sound flogging which the master had given him for fighting. It was very melancholy to listen to the tissue of falsehoods and contradictions of which the boys were guilty in the witness-box. Our mode of inflicting punishment fails sadly to meet such cases. A heavy fine on the whole village and the imprisonment of the Ti-po, however foreign to what is called Constitutional Government, would have been a punishment salutary for the present, and deterrent for the future. The villagers are simply children in civilization; and punishment, after English ideas, is to them little or no punish- ment at all. There is neither conscience nor a healthy public opinion to appeal to, and where these are wanting ordinary punishments fall very lightly.

34. The boys, with one exception, deserted the school, and the parents asked for the removal of the master. It was useless to ask them why this should be done, after his innocence had been clearly established. They had suffered a defeat in one quarter, and they thought to make up for it in another. For two months, they held out; and then the more sensible of them, seeing that the determination to maintain the master in his place, scholars or no scholars, was not going to be de- parted from, began to think of sending their children back. The Ti-po exerted himself strenuously to prevent this; but, when he was told that if the boys were not all back in school by a certain day he would have to answer for his conduct before a Magistrate, he discontinued his opposition and the boys all returned.

35. So much for what has been done.. Table VI points to a large field still uncultivated. The number of children in the Colony who get no education is roughly estimated at 11,000. What can be done for these it is very hard to say. If schools were already built to accommodate the whole of them, a very small percentage would attend them. Disinclination is one great drawback; poverty is perhaps a greater. Compulsory education would uproot the evil; but is compulsory education possible here? I confess myself unable to give an answer. One thing is quite certain, that if these eleven thousand children were compelled to go to school, food and clothing would have to be sup- plied to them. In many cases, lodging would have to be provided for them also. A large propor- tion of the children live in boats, which are here to-day and somewhere else to-morrow. About one half of them, too, are girls, for whom education is considered not a superfluity merely, but a mistake.

　　36. The first question, therefore, which calls for an answer is not-Shall we have compulsory education? but--How are these two enemies of education, poverty and prejudice, to be overcome? When that has been satisfactorily answered, the rest is easy; but, until that has been so answered, it is hopeless to attempt to educate. That our criminal classes are largely recruited from the ranks of the ignorant and idle is beyond a doubt. The boat boys on the Praya commence their career with pricking rice bags, follow that up with picking pockets, and end their days as pirates. The desirability of education is but too evident; but how it is to be accomplished is a difficulty which still remains.

　　When I was a child of seven years old, my friends on a holiday, filled my pocket with half-pence. I went directly toward a shop where toys were sold for children, and being charmed with the sound of a whistle that I met by the way, in the hands of another boy, I voluntarily offered him all my money for it. I then came home, and went whistling all over the house, much pleased with my whistle, but disturbing all the family. My brothers, and sisters, and cousins, under- standing the bargain I had made, told me I had given four times as much for it as it was worth, put me in mind what good things I might have bought with the rest of the money, and laughed at me so much for my folly, that I cried with vexation. This little event, however, was afterwards of use to me, the impression continuing on my mind; so that often, when I was tempted to buy some unnecessary thing, I said to myself, "Don't give too much for the whistle;" and so I saved my money.

body of the plant, for it supports the branches, foliage, and flowers. It is either

woody as in our trees and bushes, or fleshy, or hollow, as in grass and corn.

2. Air and light are necessary to plants. If a leaf is deprived of light it loses its colour. The size of the leaf bears

no proportion to the size or strength of the tree, but the number does.

3. What art has done for men, nature has, in many instances, done for those animals which are incapable of using

art. Their clothing of its own accord changes with their necessities.

4. The hare doubles and winds in a most ingenious manner, when she runs from her enemies, in order to conceal her track, which they would follow by the scent. The rabbit pops his little head out of his hole to peer for dan- ger, before he ventures abroad.

5. The planets are celestial bodies which revolve round the sun on the same principle as the earth. They are divided into primary and secondary. Those which revolve immediately round the sun are called primary. The smaller ones which revolve round primary planets are called secondary.

6. Chemistry makes us acquainted with many facts of which, without it, we must have remained in ignorance. How wonderful that the diamond should be made of the same material with coal, and that the most part, by bulk, of water should be an inflammable substance.

　　A stag quenching his thirst in a clear lake, was struck with the beauty of his horns, which he saw reflected in the water. At the same time, observing the extreme slenderness of his legs, "What a pity it is," said he, "that so fine a creature should be furnished with so despicable a set of spindleshanks! What a truly noble animal I should be, were my legs in any degree answerable to my horns!" In the midst of these thoughts he was alarmed by the cry of a pack of hounds. He immediately bounded through the forest, and left his pursuers so far behind that he might have escaped; but rushing into a thick wood, his horns were entangled in the branches, where he was held till the hounds came up, and tore him in pieces. In his last moments he thus exclaimed, "How ill do we judge of our true advantages! The legs, which I despised, would have borne me away in safety, had not the antlers I was so vain of, betrayed me to

ruin.'

COPY OF TRANSLATION OF DECREE.

COLONIAL MINISTRY.

The attention of those concerned is directed to the following Ordinance, promulgated by the Governor General of Netherlands, India, in the official paper (Staatsblad ) of Netherlands, India, 1871, No. 109, under date of 4th August 1871:-

In the King's name!

The Governor General of Netherlands, India, having heard the Council of Netherlands, India, sends greeting, and notifies to all who shall see these presents or hear them read?That he, considering it desirable that measures be adopted for the prevention, as far as possible, of the intro- duction into Netherlands, India, of contagious diseases imperilling the general health;

In observance of Articles 20, 29, 31, and 33 of the regulations for conducting the Government of Netherlands, India;

Having read the Colonial Minister's communication of 19th May 1871, letter AAZ., No. 2,609;

Has thought proper and has resolved,

By virtue of the King's authorization, to establish the following general regulations for the prevention of the introduction into Netherlands, India, of contagious diseases imperilling the general health:

Article 1.-Ships and vessels wherein contagious diseases, dangerous to the general health, such as cholera, yellow fever, Asiatic plague, small pox, and others of a similar character, prevail, or have prevailed, during the voyage just completed, or if such ships and vessels come from places where contagious diseases prevailed at the time of their departure, must, on their arrival in a roadstead of Netherlands, India, bear a yellow flag at the foretop.

Article 2.-All intercourse of any ship or vessel arriving and bearing the yellow flag with the shore, and with other ships and vessels in the roadstead, or in the vicinity of the roadstead, without distinction, is, saving what is directed in Article 3, forbidden.

For each transgression of this prohibition, committed by any one belonging to the ship or vessel, or who has made voyage therewith, the Commander will be punished by a fine of 100 to 1,000 florins.

Any one who, without being authorized to do so by virtue of these regulations, shall go on board such ship or vessel will be punished according to his nationality, by imprisonment or by labour on the public works for a period of eight days to a month.

　The Commander of the guard-ship, or, where no such vessel is present, the Harbour Master, is to attend to the maintenance of the prohibition, in accordance with the directions given thereupon.

Article 3.—If it should afterwards appear that, although the ship or vessel is in the condition described in Article 1, the yellow flag was not hoisted upon it on its arrival, the commander incurs a fine of 500 to 5,000 florins.

The Commander of the guard-ship, or, where no snch vessel is present, the Harbour Master, then orders that the yellow flag be immediately hoisted.

Article 4.-When any ship or vessel bearing a yellow flag comes to a roadstead, or when the yellow flag is hoisted after arrival in the road- stead, according to the provision in Article 3, an officer of health from the guard-ship, or, in places where there is no guard-ship, a civil or military medical man, to be appointed by the chief of the local Administration, shall go as speedily as possible, observing the prescribed measures of pre- caution, on board the newly-arrived ship, for the purpose of instituting a diligent enquiry as to the nature of the disease.

All officers and others charged with any civil or military medical service are bound to perform that service with the greatest speed.

A report of the result of the enquiry is to be immediately made both to the chief of the local Administration and the Commander of the guard-ship, or, in places where there is no guard-ship, to the Harbour Master, so that the necessary measures may be taken in accordance with the existing regulations in this respect, to isolate the newly-arrived ship, to render assistance to the Commander, and to attend to the sick.

If however, it should be found that there is no danger of contagion, then permission is immediately to be given to haul down the yellow flag, and this serves as a sign that the prohibition against the opening of communication with the shore or with other vessels is revoked.

The same is done so soon as the chief of the local Administration has declared, on the advice of the medical man, that all danger of contagion is at an end.

Article 5.—The chief of the local Administration is to give immediate information, by telegraph if possible, of the measures referred to in the third paragraph of Article 4, as well as of the declaration mentioned in the last paragraph of that Artic to the Commander of the naval force, the chief of the Department of Marine, and to the Director of Instruction, Worship, and Industry, and, if he is not himself the acting chief of the district, also to the chief of the District Administration.

Article 6.-In ships or vessels whereon the yellow flag has been hoisted, it must not be hauled down without the express order of the Com- mander of the guard-ship, or, in places where there is no guard-ship, of the Harbour Master.

After sunset two lighted lanterns must be placed one under the other on the foretop.

For every transgression of these regulations, the Commander will incur a fine of 500 to 5,000 florins.

Article 7.-The Commander of any ship or vessel whereon the yellow flag is hoisted, is bound to execute immediately and strictly the measures prescribed to him by the authorities authorized thereto in accordance with this Ordinance.

If necessary, the aid of the armed force will be called in to enforce the execution of these measures.

Article 8.-Ship and cargo are liable and seizable for the payment of the fines laid upon the Commander by virtue of Articles 2, 3, and 6. The sentence of condemnation shall always contain the declaration that the officer charged with the execution is authorized to continue the embargo on the ship or vessel, and to prevent the departure thereof, until the fines are paid, if the sale in execution should be considered unadvisa- ble by the chief of the local Administration in the interests of general health.

Transitory provision.—Article 1, and the first paragraph of Article 3, first come into operation with the seventh month after the promulga- tion of this Ordinance.

The second paragraph of Article 3, and the rest of the provisions of this Ordinance, are nevertheless applicable to the ships and vessels referred to in the first paragraph of Article 3, which arrive in a roadstead of Netherlands, India, within seven months after the promulgation.

And in order that no one shall plead ignorance hereof, it shall be inserted in the official paper (Staatsblad) of Netherlands, India, and, so far as necessary, be posted up in the native and Chinese languages.

It is, moreover, ordered and commanded that all superior and inferior communities and public persons, officers, and justiciaries, each, for so far as concerns him, shall maintain the strict observance hereof without connivance or respect of person.
