(1.) That side lights and lanthorns, otherwise unexceptionable, fixed in such a position that they may be obscured by the lower corners of the ship's square foresail cannot be considered to be fixed as required by Article 3 of the Regu- lations.

(2.)-In the event of such side lights and lanthorns being so fixed that the lower corners of the square foresail can obscure either or both such lights, the Surveyors or Inspectors may require the master or owner of the ship either to move the lanthorns further forward, and to fix them where the lights cannot be obscured, or to cut off so much of the lower corners of her square foresail as causes or is likely to cause such obscuration.

(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,

BY

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.

A CHINESE AND ENGLISH DICTIONARY,

BY

THE REVD. W. LOBSCHEID.

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.

HE above work, which has been chiefly com- piled for the purpose of aiding students in 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.

DICTIONARY,

BY

THE REVD. W. LOBSCHEID.

THE above work, which has been chiefly com- piled for the purpose of aiding students in 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.

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:--

A.

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.

above work, which has been chiefly com- piled for the purpose of aiding students in 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.

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.

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

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."

"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 :-

Sections 1 to 12 agreed to.

Section 13 amended, and agreed to.

Section 14 agreed to.

Section 15, Blanks filled up and agreed to.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 2ND MARCH, 1872.

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.

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.

HYDROGRAPHIC NOTICE. [No. 24.]

CHINA PILOT. NOTICE No. 22.

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:-

　　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.'

The following translation of a decree by the Governor General of Netherlands, India, received from the Department of Agriculture, Revenue and Commerce, is published for general information.

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.

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.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.

The following Report of the Acting Colonial Surgeon, with Returns annexed, for the Year 1871, is published for general information.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 23rd March, 1872.

CECIL C. SMITH, Acting Colonial Secretary.

VICTORIA, HONGKONG, 26th February, 1872.

　　Having performed the duties of Colonial Surgeon during the absence of Dr. MURRAY from Hongkong, since 19th January, 1871, I shall endeavour to give a short Report on the Sanitary condition of the Colony for the year 1871.

I. THE POLICE.

The health of this Force during the past year has been very good. The rate of sickness is much below the average and the rate of mortality lower than it has ever been. The number of Chinese in the Force has been increased from an average of 204 to 236.

Table I. shows the admissions into Hospital and the deaths for the twelve months of 1871. The greatest number of admissions was during the summer months. Ten cases of Small Pox occurred in the Force and two of these were fatal. There was one death from Hydrophobia, after a bite from a dog. The increase in the number of Chinese admitted to Hospital, as compared with the previous year, is owing partly to a number of admissions under the Contagious Diseases Act. The Chinese Constables do not undergo a monthly examination as is the case with Europeans and Colored men in the Force, but when examined for re-enlistment a number of Lokongs were found to be suffering from disease and were detained in Hospital. Another reason for the increase is the fact of the Chinese resorting to the Hospital for treatment, more than to their native doctors, as they used to do formerly. The number of European and Colored men admitted to Hospital is comparatively small, and the rate of sickness for the whole Force is more than 16 per cent less than in 1870.

Table II. shows the rate of sickness and mortality for 1871. The same evidence of improved health in the Public Services is shewn in the Military returns.

Table III. gives the rate of sickness and mortality in the Troops serving in Hongkong in 1871. Their health has evidently been excellent, and the rate of mortality is lower than it has ever been on this station. The superior barrack accommodation and the exemption of Europeans from night duty has, no doubt, contributed to this gratifying result. In 1870, the sickness was at the rate of 157 per cent and the mortality 2 per cent. In 1850 out of an average strength of 1;153 Europeans and Colored Troops, the rate of sickness was 515 per cent and the mortality nearly 16 per cent.

GOVERNMENT CIVIL HOSPITAL.

Table IV. shows the number of admissions and mortality in this institution. The number of admissions is less than in the previous year and the mortality is slightly in excess. There were 6 deaths from Small Pox and 21 from Diarrhoea, the latter, in most instances, being cases of "destitutes"

brought to Hospital by the Police. The 2 cases of death from Leprosy were likewise cases of des- titute Chinese. It will also be observed in Table IV., that 16 cases were brought to Hospital in a moribund condition and help to swell the death rate of the institution, although they were really too far gone for treatment of any kind. Now that the new Chinese Hospital is opened, it is to be hoped that the Government Hospital will be relieved of a number of Chinese cases, for which there is really no accommodation, and which are, in many instances, dangerous to the health of the other patients in Hospital, besides materially interfering with their comfort. A detached building, formerly the Fever Hospital, was at one time used for the reception of destitute females. This has been absorbed in the new Lock Hospital, and the upper story of a Chinese house is hired for the reception of females. This place is found most inconvenient, both from its situation and ar- rangement, as the only approach to it is by a steep ladder less than 3 feet wide. Patients who are unable to walk have to be carried up this ladder, and in the case of fractures this mode of en- trance is not unattended with danger.

　　The accommodation afforded by the Government Hospital is, in every way, inadequate to the wants of the Colony. The building is badly planned and much too small. When the maximum number of 83 patients was in Hospital, there was a space of less than 900 cubic feet and 55 super- ficial feet to each patient, instead of 1,500 cubic feet and 100 superficial, which is the smallest quantity recommended by the Indian Sanitary Commission. I entered more fully into the various requirements of the Hospital in my Report of 29th May, 1871.

SMALL POX HOSPITAL.

　　In Appendix I., will be found a Report by Dr. ROBOTHAM on the Small-Pox Hospital at Stone Cutter's Island. On my appointment to the office of Acting Colonial Surgeon on the 19th of January, there was a considerable number of Small Pox cases in the Colony. On the 1st of January there were about 70 cases amongst Europeans and Colored men. As there was no ac- commodation for infectious diseases in the Civil Hospital, a temporary building had been erected in the rear of the Lock Hospital, where Small Pox patients were received. The disease being ap- parently on the increase, it was deemed advisable to concentrate the cases as much as possible, and so lessen the risks of contagion by diminishing the number of centres of infection. For this purpose the Colonial Government had a part of the Gaol on Stone Cutter's Island fitted up as an Hospital and placed under the care of Staff Surgeon ROBOTHAM. To this building all the cases were removed from the Civil Hospital, Gaol and Seamens' Hospital, and it was publicly announced that Small Pox cases would be treated at Stone Cutters' Island only. When the disease began to appear amongst the Troops, at the request of the Principal Medical Officer, military cases were also received at Stone Cutters' Island. The Police were ordered to report any case of Small Pox that came under their notice and to try and induce the person to come to Hospital for treat- ment. The soldiers were ordered to avoid the Western part of the town where the Chinese mostly dwell, and the liberty men from the ships of war were not allowed to land. The endeavour to prevent the spread of the disease was so far successful that only 5 cases occurred amongst the European-born civil population. The 75th Regiment, with the exception of one child, had not a single case. were 25 cases among the Sepoys and Camp followers of the 13th Madras Native Infantry and 2 cases among the Gun Lascars. New cases continued to occur until the 15th May, when the last patient was admitted to Hospital. Most of the cases occurred in strangers, either from ship board or from Sailors' boarding-houses, and no one part of the native town could be said to suffer more than another. The Chinese were said to have suffered considerably and several dead bodies were found with the marks of recent Small Pox. Among the ships of war 19 men were seized with Small Pox, and these were treated on board the Flamer, which was moored off the Melville and used as a Small Pox Hospital. A full report of cases at Stone Cutter's Island will be found in the Report by Dr. ROBOTHAM, and as I visited the Hospital periodically, I can testify to the care and kindness with which the patients were treated by that Surgeon.

　　Tables A., B., & C., kindly furnished by Dr. ADAMS, show the statistics of the Seamen's Hospital for 1871.

III. THE GAOL.

　　The health of the prisoners has, on the whole, been very satisfactory. Soon after the rains began, cases of Diarrhoea and Fever were prevalent, but most of them were slight. The greatest number of prisoners in the Gaol was on the 31st of May, when there were 564, viz., 100 Europeans, 14 Colored, and 450 Chinese. The smallest number was on the 5th of March, when there were 450, viz., 59 European, 19 Colored, and 372 Chinese.

　　Table VII. shows the admission into Hospital and mortality during the year. Most of the deaths occurred in debilitated worn-out constitutions, only 2 being the result of acute disease. Of the 9 cases of Insanity, some were only temporarily insane and others were destitute imbeciles sent to Gaol by the Magistrates until claimed by their friends, or, in the case of Europeans, until forwarded to Europe by the Government.

Table VIII. shows the rate of sickness and mortality. The building is always remarkably clean and in good order. The thick walls and long airy corridors keep it very cool in summer, and without any artificial heating the prisoners are kept comfortable in winter by an ample supply of blankets and warm clothing. A small room has been added to the East Wing, where the prisoners, on admis- sion, are inspected by the visiting Surgeon.

IV. THE LOCK HOSPITAL.

A full report of this Hospital will be found in Appendix II. with Tables A., B., C., D., E., & F., carefully compiled by the Surgeon Superintendent Dr. YOUNG.

Whatever may be said against the working of the "Contagious Diseases Act" at home, there can be no doubt that in Hongkong the results are most satisfactory and valuable. In Table C. it will be seen that out of the 460 men admitted to the Military, Naval, Police, and Seamen's Hospitals, 157 contracted the disease elsewhere than in Hongkong, and out of an average monthly number of 10,904 men in Port and Garrison, only 0.34 per cent per month were diseased.

Table X. shows the rate of mortality among the Foreign Residents for the last 14 years. The rate for 1871 is higher than usual but this is accounted for by the great mortality amongst the chil- dren of Portuguese, mostly from Small Pox, no less than 48 under 10 years of age having died. The mortality amongst Americans, and Europeans, exclusive of Portuguese, was 2.48 per cent. This table

of the annual death-rate of the residents would be of much greater interest could we learn the cause of death in each instance, so as to know what proportion of the deaths could be fairly attributed to the effects of the Climate. This could best be done by registration, and the production of a medical certificate as to the cause of death.

There can be no doubt that there is ample scope for a Chinese Hospital in Hongkong. In the building formerly known as the I-tze Hospital 386 patients were received last year, and of these 157, or over 40 per cent, died. I have no doubt that the New Hospital will show better returns next year and encourage the hopes of the native merchants, who have so generously undertaken the good work.

The Committee have already done good service by appointing certain days for vaccination. Numbers of natives bring their children voluntarily to have the operation performed, and I can tes- tify to the very skilful and efficient manner in which it is done. In 1870 there were 233 vaccinated and in 1871 over 500. A vaccinator now pays weekly visits to the various villages in the Island. On his first visit to Sow-ki-wan he vaccinated 30 children. It is evident that the knowledge of this valuable discovery is beginning to spread amongst the Chinese, and as increased numbers of the rising generation undergo the operation, so in proportion will their liability to epidemics of Small Pox be diminished.

Table XII. gives the result of the Meteorological Observations recorded at the Government Civil. Hospital in 1871. The summer of 1871 is generally allowed to have been one of the coolest that we have experienced for many years. Although the thermometer reached a maximum of 89°, the almost daily occurrence of showers of rain and the unusual prevalence of Easterly winds, rendered the past hot season peculiarly mild and salubrious. The winter months were characterized by a degree of cold, scarcely ever known in Hongkong. On the 13th December the summit of the mountain of Tai-mo-shan on the mainland was seen to have a covering of snow, and on the 14th of the same month, ice was found so low as the level of Caine Road. On comparing the weather tables of previous years it is found that what were known as unhealthy years seem to depend, not so much upon extremes of temperature as upon a small annual range of the therinometer. During the so-called unhealthy years of 1865 and 1870, the annual range was only 41° and 43°, respec- tively. In 1867 and 1871 the range was 51° and 53° and both of these years have been peculiarly healthy.

The prevalence of Easterly winds and the consequent abundance of rain during these two years had doubtless a material influence on the temperature.

　　The spring of 1871 was dry and cool till the last week of April, when the heat became rather trying and continued so until the middle of May, when the rains commenced. During the first six weeks of wet weather Fever and Diarrhoea were prevalent. The chill produced by the fre- quent fall of the temperature, particularly at night after a shower of rain, was no doubt conducive to those diseases. As regards the Diarrhoea, I am inclined to think that the quality of the drink- ing water may have been injuriously affected by the first washing of the ground after the long drought, more especially as the reservoir was at that time nearly empty. That impure drinking water has anything to do with the production of Malarious Fevers is not probable, as it has been proved in China that ships supplied with water from shore, so long as they lay a certain distance from land have enjoyed entire immunity from a malarious fever which was decimating the residents on shore. The new Reservoir at Pok-fo-lum, which was opened last year, is supplied by streams from the Southern and uninhabited slope of the hills, and is therefore not liable to be impregnated with impurities. It is satisfactory to know that during the height of the dry season the fall in the level of the water in the reservoir was only 9 feet.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 23RD MARCH, 1872.

　　The cases of Intermittent and Remittent Fever in 1871, have been comparatively few, and the statistics of these fevers compare favorably with those of 1870. The greater prevalence of fever in 1870, depended, in a great measure, upon the excessive heat and the dryness of the season. But apart from these causes, common to every inter-tropical country, there must be some other cause for the peculiarly virulent character of the fever which was prevalent that year, and which is com- monly called "Hongkong Fever." It has been likened to Jungle Fever, a fever which prevails in the damp forests of the tropics and the neighbourhood of rivers whose course is through level lands covered with tropical vegetation. No doubt swamps and mud with a luxuriant vegetation are often found co-existant with a highly malarious climate but that they are not essential to the production of fever is proved by its prevalence in places almost destitute of trees. The Island of De Los on the West African Coast, although lying 60 miles from land and almost destitute of trees, is one of the most fever stricken places on the Coast. Ever since Hongkong became a resort of Europeans it has maintained an unenviable notoriety for its fevers. It was especially unhealthy during the first years of occupation when the ground was being cut and levelled for building pur- poses. In twelve months the 59th Regiment lost 24 per cent of its strength, and the European residents lost over 10 per cent of their number. The barracks at Sai-wan, the bungalow in Happy Valley and latterly Morrison Hill have all been pronounced unhealthy. No doubt they were un- healthy for a year or two, but the same may be said of every new site in Hongkong. Twelve years ago the whole line of houses from the Military Stores to Spring Gardens were declared to be unhealthy, because every one who attempted to reside there got fever, but the cliff behind had been newly scarped and the ground cut away to afford a site for the houses. In 1865 the Troops in Kowloong suffered severely from fever, but during the preceding winter, extensive cuttings had been made close to the camp and a large area of soil uncovered by any vegetation was left exposed to the summer sun. In 1870 a certain cliff on Bonham Road was extensively cut away to furnish soil for the repair of the roads in the neighbourhood. Every house within 500 yards of the cliff had one or more cases of fever, some of them, unfortunately, terminating fatally. Whatever the poison may be, the fact remains, that the soil of Hongkong when disturbed for the first time and denuded of vegetation, more especially in the hot season, evolves a fever poison.

　　One is so apt to connect tropical fevers with malaria from marshes, mangrove swamps, and the like, that it takes some time to disabuse the mind of the inherent idea. But as it is true that fevers may exist without such surroundings, it is equally true that marshes and the like do not al- ways cause fever. Europeans may live for years on the edge of the Chinese paddy-fields and yet never suffer from fever. Singapore with its tidal mud and mangrove-covered swamps is wonder- fully free from malarious fevers. The jungles of Assam and the forests of Borneo, are known to be comparatively healthy until the vegetation is destroyed and the new soil turned up. During the summer of 1871 no earth-cutting was allowed and this, I believe, must have contributed in some degree to the rarity of severe cases of fever.

Appendix I.

Report on the Small Pox Hospital at Stone Cutters' Island.

139

　　　This Hospital was established on the 25th January, 1871, an epidemic of Small Pox having broken out in the Colony in December, 1870, and during the month of January, 1871, attained such a height that the temporary mat-sheds erected in proximity to the Civil Hospital, were found insuffi- cient or inconvenient, for the treatment of the numerous cases, both Civil and Military, that were of daily occurrence.

　　　The Convict Gaol at Stone Cutter's Island having been fitted with beds and Hospital appliances for 50 patients, was found very well adapted for the purpose of an Hospital for infectious diseases, being situate on a small Island in the harbour of Hongkong, about 11?2 miles from the town of Victoria. The building faces East and West and in consequence of its situation enjoys the full benefit of the monsoon winds; of course, it is perfectly isolated, there not being another habitation on the Island; this has been an immense advantage to the convalescent patients, as they could wander about on the sea- shore, and small hills in the vicinity, enjoying the pure air, daily sea breeze, and even sea bathing.

For the conveyance of patients to the Hospital, a good sized boat, manned by (6) six European Sailors (prisoners,) was lent by the Gaol Autho- rities, which passed over daily to the Wharf nearest to the Civil Hospital, where the patients suffering from Small Pox were, in the first instance, received, and thence transmitted as early as possible to the Island Hospital, the patients protected, as required, by blankets provided by the Civil Hospital. This plan was very successful, not a case, I can confidently assert, having suffered throughout the epidemic from the voyage across the harbour. The portions of the Gaol used as the Hospital, were the right wing, the chapel in the centre, and two wardens' rooms over the gateway for fe- male patients and children.

　　　The wing is a 3 storied building, about 160 feet long by 45 feet in width, divided down the centre from roof to ground floor, an open gallery running entirely round the inside on each floor, and from which the doors of the wards opened, these of course were built as cells for prisoners, but being large double cells made very fair wards for 3 beds each, giving a cubic space of 880 feet and a superficial area of 73 feet 1 inch per bed.

Of these wards, there were on the 1st floor or corridor 8, 4 on either side of the centre gallery.

　　　A larger ward at the Eastern end of the gallery, was large enough to contain 5 beds, giving a cubic space of 1,231 feet and a superficial area of 102 feet per bed.

Two small separate cells on this floor made admirable sleeping room for ward orderlies.

　　　Four wards on the upper corridor of the same size as the 8 cells on the 1st floor. One warden's room at the Northern end of each gallery was used as a separate ward, 1 bed in each, for better class patients.

The chapel of the Gaol made a most excellent ward for 13 beds, affording a cubic space of 2,751.5 feet and a superficial area of 100.3 feet for each bed.

　　　The ventilation of all the wards was excellent and thorough, in cach cell ward there were two openings on the level of the floor, 1 foot 6 inches by 10 inches, in addition to the door, and 3 windows 2 feet 6 inches by 1 foot 6 inches, 8 feet from the floor, shaft ventilators running along the ceilings, with openings through the external walls.

　　　No warming was required for these wards. In the separate warden's rooms, fire was made, as required, to keep the temperature at a proper and comfortable degree to the patient.

The chapel during the very cold weather in February was found too cold, being so large a room and containing so many doors and windows, and having no fire places; but as the weather became warmer in March, nothing could be desired better as a ward, than this portion of the Hospital.

　　　The arrangements for opening the Hospital having been completed on the 25th January, the day of my arrival to take Medical charge, patients were admitted on the 26th January and continued to arrive as follows:

　　　The greatest number of admissions on any one day, setting aside the two first days, when the cases that had been under treatment in the mat-sheds at the Civil Hospital were sent over to the Island, was on the 7th February, when 6 new cases were admitted, the epidemic being then apparently at its height.

The greatest number of cases in Hospital on any one day, was on the 14th February, when 57 cases appeared on the state for that day. The following tables will show :-

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 23RD MARCH, 1872.

Of these fatal cases, only two bore marks of vaccination, one the West Indian Police Constable, and his death can scarcely be attributable to Small Pox, the immediate cause of his death being Pneumonia; he had suffered from chest disease previously on two occasions, the attack of Small Pox was but slight.

　　　　The second was that of the Inspector of Police. He bore 3 apparently fair marks of vaccination, but it had no influence on the character of the disease, which was of the most severe confluent form; head symptoms set in early; he became delirious on the third day after admission, dying on the 6th day, and 8th day of the disease.

Of the two Chinese children that died, both were in a moribund condition on admission, one dying in 2 hours, the other in 24 after coming to Hospital.

The whole of the fatal cases amongst the European adults were characterized by the same appearances, a very severe confluent form, with flat pus- tues and the surrounding areola of a claret colour, delirium setting in early about the third day. The European child was getting well over the disease, when a large abscess formed in the throat, and the child died of exhaustion.

　　　　The East Indian destitute, was a poor cripple, who was accustomed to be about the streets of Hongkong begging, and had no stamina to resist so formidable a disease as confluent Small Pox.

This table only bears out the well known fact of the comparative lightness of the disease after vaccination; out of the total of 101 cases treated, 66 bore marks of vaccination, of which only one died, a mortality of 1.5 per cent, whilst 35 were unprotected, of whom 8 died, showing a mortality of 22.8 per cent. One rather remarkable case occurred after re-vaccination, (the only one admitted) in the person of a young Mechanic; he had been re-vaccinated about 14 days before the disease made its appearance; it is probable he had contracted Small Pox just before or about the time of the re-vaccination, however it proved to be one of the slightest case treated.

It is most satisfactory to be able to state that of the whole of the attendants on the sick, ward orderlies, washermen, coolies, boat's crew, &c., about 35 in number, (all prisoners) not one contracted the disease, thanks to the protecting power of re-vaccination, all the attendants having been re-vac- cinated by myself and the Colonial Surgeon, before entering upon their duties.

　　　　The past epidemic of Small Pox originally appeared amongst the Chinese population of the Colony. Nearly the whole of the cases treated at Stone Cutter's Island could be traced to have originated from contact with the Chinese. The 75th Regt., the men of which were prohibited from going to the native portion of the town, enjoyed a remarkable immunity, not a case having occurred amongst them, and only one child of the Regt., whilst the Madras Sepoys, whose intercourse with the native population was less restricted, suffered rather severely, as was the case also with the sea-faring population and Police.

　　　　Of the last cases treated, two came from ships that had just arrived from the Northern ports, at Hongkong, and one rom the village of Sow-ki- wan, where the disease is still said to prevail amongst the Chinese.

　　　　The Hospital for Small Pox has, on the whole, proved very successful; a mortality of below 9 per cent on the total cases treated, bears fa- vourable comparison with the published reports of Small Pox Hospitals in England, during the late epidemic there. It is most favourably situated, as re- gards isolation, for infectious diseases, and is now proved to be satisfactory in a sanitary point.

　　　　In conclusion, I would beg strongly to recommend to the notice of the Colonial Government of Hongkong, venting or modifying the effects of epidemic Small Pox is "compulsory vaccination."

JOHN H. ROBOTHAM, Staff Surgeon,

Medical Officer in Charge, Government Small Pox Hospital.

VICTORIA, HONGKONG, 19th February, 1872.

　　SIR, I have the honour to forward to you my Report on the Government Lock Hospital for the year 1871. 2. When I took charge of the Hospital on the 19th of January, 1871, it consisted of two buildings which were very inadequate to the wants of the Colony, as from the number of patients frequently in Hospital, the average cubic space would be about 500 feet. Since then, the two buildings have been connected, increasing the accommodation by five rooms. But, I feel assured that no Medical man was consulted as to the proposed additions and alterations. If he was so, his opinion must have been ignored, as those conditions for securing the proper ventilation of the wards, without exposing the patients to a draught, which are so much insisted on in the construction of Hospitals at home, have been, except in the case of two rooms, quite unattended to. The windows, to all intents and purposes, are doors measuring 9 feet by 3 feet 9 inches, and opening down to the floor. These, when shut, stop all ventilation. During the day, these windows are frequently open, and thus the air becomes changed; but during the night it is not safe for the patients to lie in a draught, such as is caused by the opening of one of those window, already referred to.

　　　　3. With the exception of one room capable of holding ten patients, and formerly used by the Civil Hospital as a ward for destitute females, the additions and alterations, such as they are, are completed. At present, giving each on an average 1,000 cubic feet of space, 77 patients could be ac- commodated; and, when the room above referred to is completed, there will be the same amount of space for 10 additional patients.

　　　　4. The average number of patients daily in Hospital during the past year has been 34. The greatest number on any one day was 47, and the smallest was 20.

5. A reference to Table A., shows that the type of disease met with is more amenable to treatment, from the fact that the average number of days during which patients were detained in Hospital has been reduced to a shorter period than has yet been reached during the past 14 years of the Hospital's existence. In 187,0 it was 23.1 days, while during 1871, it has been 18.5 days.

　　　　6. Tables B., C., D., E., and F., show the amount of Venereal disease met with in the Hospitals of this Colony, and the measures taken to prevent its spread. It will be seen on reference to Table C. that in two thirds of the admissions into the Seamen's and Civil Hospitals, the disease was not contracted in Hongkong. But for the Contagious Diseases Ordinance, there would soon be abundance of Venereal disease in the Colony. I base this assertion on the fact that about 50 per cent of those who for the first time submit voluntarily to examination are found to be diseased.

7. I am frequently assured by Surgeons well qualified to give an opinion on the subject, that there is no place so free from this disease as Hong- kong; and I am sure when once the good which emanates from the working of this Ordinance is properly understood at home, it will receive as much support as it now does opposition.

I have the honour to be, Sir,

Your obedient Servant,

R. YOUNG, L.R.C.P., AND S. EDIN.,

Surgeon Superintendent.

Defence on Ground of Law.

It must state briefly the grounds of law on which the defendant intends to rely at the hearing of the motion.

?

The motion shall be heard and disposed of at as early a time as may be.

·

For the purposes of the motion the defendant shall be taken to admit the truth of the allegations of fact in the petition, and no evidence as to matters of fact or discussion of questions of fact shall be admitted at the hearing of the motion.

77. On hearing the motion, the Court shall either dismiss the petition or order the defendant to put in an answer within a short time to be named in the order, and may give leave to the plaintiff to amend his petition if it appears requisite, and may impose such terms as justice requires.

78. Where, on the hearing of the motion, any grounds of law are urged in support of the motion beyond those stated in the motion-paper, and the grounds stated therein are disallowed, the defendant shall be liable to pay the same costs as if the motion were wholly refused, although the grounds of law newly urged are allowed, unless the Court thinks fit in any case to order otherwise.

Answer.

79. The defendant must file in the Court an answer to the petition within sixteen days from the date of the service thereof: Provided always that he may obtain further time on summons stating the further time required, and the reasons why it is required. The application when made, unless consented to, must be supported by affidavit or by oral evidence on oath, shewing that there is reasonable ground for the application, and that it is not made for the purpose of delay.

80. Where a defendant does not put in any answer he shall not be taken as admitting the allegations of the petition, or the plaintiff's right to the relief sought; and at the hearing (even though such defendant does not appear) the plaintiff must open his case, and adduce evidence in support of it, and take such judg- ment as to the Court appears just.

81. A defendant neglecting to put in an answer within the time or further time allowed shall not be at liberty to put in an answer without leave of the Court, or consent of parties.

The Court may grant such leave or order on the ex parte application of the defendant at any time before the plain- tiff has set down the cause or applied to have it set down for hearing.

Where the cause has been set down or the plaintiff has applied to have it set down for hearing, the Court shall not grant such leave except on return of a summons to the plaintiff giving notice of defendant's application, and on such terms as to costs and other matters as seem just.

82. The answer shall show the nature of the defendant's defence to the claim set up by the petition, but may not set forth the evidence by which such defence is intended to be sup- ported.

·

It should be clear and precise, and not introduce matter irrelevant to the suit, and the rules before laid down respecting the setting out of documents and the contents of a petition gene- rally shall be observed in the answer, mutatis mutandis.

?

Where the answer denies an allegation of fact, it must deny it directly and not by way of negative pregnant: as (for example) where it is alleged that the defendant has received a money, the answer must deny that he has received that sum or any part thereof, or else set forth what part he has received. And so, where a matter of fact is alleged in the petition, with certain circumstances, the answer must not deny it literally as it is alleged, but must anwer the point of substance positively and certainly.

The answer must specifically admit such material alle- gations in the petition as the defendant knows to be true or desires to be taken as admitted. Such admission, if plain and specific, will prevent the plaintiff from obtaining the cost of proving at the hearing any matters of fact so admitted.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 30TH MARCH, 1872.

All material Allegations of fact admitted by a defendant shall be taken as established against him without proof thereof by the plaintiff at the hearing. But the plaintiff shall be bound to prove as against each defendant all allegations of fact not ad- mitted by him, or not stated by him to be true to his belief.

The answer must allege any matter of fact not stated in the petition on which the defendant relies in defence,--as establishing for instance, fraud on the part of the plaintiff, or showing that the plaintiff's right to recover, or to any relief ca- pable of being granted on the petition, has not yet accrued, or is released or barred or otherwise gone.

The anwser of a defendant shall not debar him at the Effect of ans- hearing from disproving any allegation of the petition not ad- wer at hearing. mitted by his answer, or from giving evidence in support of a defence not expressly set up by the answer,-except where the defence is such as, in the opinion of the Court, ought to have been expressly set up by the answer,- -or is inconsistent with the statements of the answer,-or is, in the opinion of the Court, likely to take the plaintiff by surprise, and to raise a fresh issue or fresh issues of fact or law not fairly arising out of the pleadings as they stand, and such as the plaintiff ought not to be then called upon to try.

Specific Answer.

85. Where the defendant does not answer or puts in an Summons to answer amounting only to a general denial of the plaintiff's claim, compel. the plaintiff may apply by summons for an order to compel him to answer specifically to the several material allegations in the petition; and the Court if such allegations are briefly, positively, separately and distinctly made, and it thinks that justice so requires, may grant such an order.

answer.

86. The defendant shall, within the time limited by such Nature of order, put in his answer accordingly, and shall therein answer the several material allegations in the petition either admitting or denying the truth of such allegations seriatim, as the truth or falsehood of each is within his knowledge, or (as the case may be) stating as to any one or more of the allegations that he does not know whether such allegation or allegations is or are true or otherwise.

The defendant so answering may also set up by such answer any defence to the suit, and may explain away the effect of any admission therein made by any other allegation of facts.

The answer must state distinctly that the money paid in is paid in satisfaction of the plaintiff's claim ge- nerally, or (as the case may be) in satisfaction of some specific part of the plaintiff's claim, where the claim is stated in the petition for distinct sums or in respect of distinct matters.

94. Payment into Court, whether made in satisfaction of the plaintiff's claim generally or in satisfaction of some specific part thereof, operates as an admission of liability to the extent of the amount paid in and no more, and for no other purpose.

95. Where the defendant pays money into Court the plaintiff shall be at liberty to accept the same in full satisfaction. and discharge of the cause of suit in respect of which it is paid in; and in that case the plaintiff may forthwith apply by motion for payment of the money out of Court to him; and on the hear- ing of the motion the Court shall make such order as to stay of further proceedings in the suit in whole or in part, and as to costs and other matters, as seems just.

96. If the plaintiff does not so apply he shall be considered as insisting that he has sustained damages to a greater amount,- or (as the case may be) that the defendant was and is indebted to him in a greater amount,-than the sum paid in; and in that case the Court, in determining the suit and disposing of costs at the hearing, shall have regard to the fact of the payment into Court having been made and not accepted.

Counter Claim.

97. Where a defendant in his answer raises any specific defence, and it appears to the Court that on such defence being established he may be entitled to relief against the plaintiff in respect of the subject matter of the suit, the Court may, on the application of the defendant either before or at the hearing, if under the circumstance of any case it thinks fit, give liberty to him to file a counter-claim by a cross-petition in the same suit, asking for relief against the plaintiff, and may make such order for the hearing of the suit and counter-claim together or otherwise, and in such manner and on such terms as to costs and other matters as seems just, and may, if in any case it seems fit, require the plain- tiff to give security to the satisfaction of the Court (by deposit or otherwise) to abide by and perform the decision of the Court on

the counter-claim.

Proceedings after Answer.

98. No replication or other pleading after answer is allowed, after answer. except by special leave of the Court.

Notice of the amendment shall be given to the defend- ant within such time and in such manner as the Court in each case directs.

Settlement of Issues.

100. At any time before or at the hearing the Court may, if it thinks fit, on the application of any party, or of its own motion, proceed to ascertain and determine what are the material ques- tions in controversy between the parties, although the same are not distinctly or properly raised by the pleadings, and may reduce such questions into writing and settle them in the form of issues; which issues when settled may state questions of law on admitted facts, or questions of disputed fact, or questions partly of the one kind and partly of the other.

No. 5.

CECIL C. SMITH, Acting Colonial Secretary.

FIRE BRIGADE OFFICE, HONGKONG, 27th March, 1872. SIR,I have the honor to report to you for the information of His Excellency the Governor that at past 8 A.M., on the 26th instant, an alarm of fire proceeded from the "San-tin-woh" Eating house, No. 15, Bonham Strand. The Engines were promptly in attendance, and at first view it appeared an outbreak which could be easily subdued; but from the peculiarity of construction of the building and the fact that more than 150 piculs of firewood was partly on fire, the endeavours of the Firemen were for some time baffled, and the dense volumes of smoke prevented access to the place on fire. However, by leading delivery hose over the houses opening into an adjoining Street, this was accomplished, and the fire extinguished by 11 A.M.

The Engines of the Imperial Insurance Company, Hongkong Insurance Company, and three belonging to Chinese Associations, were in attendance,-in addition to the Steam Engines of the Government Brigade.

　　A large force of Police were in attendance and kept the ground clear for the Firemen, and there was no disorder or robbery made known to the authorities.

The fire originated in a Cook room of the Eating house, and was doubtless accidental.

The first Engine to get into work was the Hand Engine of the Imperial Company, and next the No. 2 Engine of the Government Brigade,-both working from the sea. The Steam Engine of the Hongkong Insurance Company was next brought into work.

I have the honor to be,

The Honorable CECIL C. SMITH,

HE above work, which has been chiefly com- piled for the purpose of aiding students in 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.

Question put.

Discussion follows;-and further Consideration of the motion is postponed till the next Meeting of the

Council.

At this stage of the Proceedings, the Honorable PHINEAS RYRIE, leave being obtained, asks His Excellency whether any regulations exist in the Harbor Master's Office for allowing the Gunboats of the Canton Authorities to anchor amongst the Junks in the Harbor.

His Excellency states that. Chinese Gunboats coming to Hongkong are not permitted to anchor, except in the Man-of-war Anchorage. His Excellency only knew one instance in which the rule was departed from, and that was a few weeks ago when a Gunboat was seen by himself to enter from the Westward and anchor amongst the native craft in the Harbor. She was, however, immediately ordered to move from thence and take her berth in the Man-of- war anchorage.

The Honorable Member next begs permission to ask His Excellency if any reason could be given for the delay which had occurred in the publication of the Annual Police Report for the Year 1870.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 6TH APRIL, 1872.

His Excellency states that he had called upon the Colonial Secretary, (The Honorable JOHN GARDINER AUSTIN,) before his departure on leave, for an explanation of such delay, and that his answer with reports from other quarters,-and His Excellency's observations thereon,— are now on record in the Colonial Secretary's Office, where any Member might see his reasons for not laying Mr. AUSTIN'S explanation before them. In His Excellency's opinion, there had been no valid reason for withholding publicity of the Report.

The Honorable Member then begs to be allowed to ask another question, in reference to a matter personal to himself; and that is, whether His Excellency could afford any information or produce any Regulations affecting the relative positions and status of the Members of this Council.

Whereupon, His Excellency lays on the Table a Circular Despatch from His Grace The Duke of BUCKINGHAM AND CHANDOS, of the 15th September, 1868, defining the position of Official, Nominated, and Elected Members of Colonial Legislatures.

The Honorable Member asks His Excellency if there has been any Correspondence with the Chinese Authorities, respecting the collection of Customs Duties in Hongkong, namely:-the proposed Establisment of a Custom House at Hongkong.

His Excellency replies that the question had apparently dropped, as no concession of the kind seemed probable on British soil, or under the British Flag. His Excellency avails himself of this opportunity to declare, that the Colony is much indebted to the Un-official Members for the firm attitude which they had assumed, when the matter was brought to their notice by the Local Government.

His Excellency then adjourns the Council at 5 O'clock, till Friday, the 5th April, at 3 P.M.

　　The following Decision of the Marine Court of Inquiry into the loss of the British Barque Doon, Official Number 43,624, on the South side of the Bombay Shoal in Lat. 16 North, Long. 113.30 East, is published for general information.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 4th April, 1872.

FINDING OF THE COURT.

CECIL C. SMITH, Acting Colonial Secretary.

1st.—That the British Barque Doon, of the Port of Ayr, Official Number 43,624, Two hundred and eighty-four tons measurement, sailed from Saigon on the afternoon of the 24th February, 1872, having a cargo of Rice, and a crew of nine Europeans and two Chinese.

2nd. The last land sighted was the North Danger, Lat. 11.25 North, Long. 114.17 East. On the 9th March, the Doon signalled the British Barque Lady Turner in Lat. 13.31 North, Long. 113.23 East.

3rd. At about half past 10. P. M. on the 10th March, in fair weather, the Doon struck on a coral reef on the South side of the Bombay Shoal, in Lat. 16 North, Long. 113.30 East, no surf or other indication of the reef being visible.

4th.—At about 3 P. M. of the 11th March, the Doon being a wreck was abandoned by the Master, Officers and Crew. On the 15th March, the Master and five men (in one boat) were commend- ably received on board the Swedish Barque Veritas, and brought to Hongkong, arriving on the 17th March. The Chief Mate with the remainder of the Crew arrived at Hongkong, in the other ship's boat, the same day.

5th.-The Court considers that the loss of the Doon is attributable to a strong current having set the vessel to the westward, for which no allowance was made by the Master, no current having been experienced on the two previous days, the vessel's position being supposed to be more than twenty miles from the Bombay Shoal at the time of striking.

6th.--The ship's Log having been kept in a most careless and irregular manner by the Chief Officer, and the Journal of the Master having been lost with the ship, the Court found it impossible to work the course taken, but the incidental production of the Log and Chart of the Lady Turner and the Chart of the Doon, enables the Court to decide that up to noon of the 9th, the Master of the Doon kept a correct reckoning of his position.

7th.-The Court reprimands the Master of the Doon for non-performance of his duty in not seeing that the ship's Log was properly kept, and considers that the Chief Mate's conduct also deserves a similar mark of reprehension.

Confirmed,

Given under our hands at Hongkong, this 27th day of March, 1872.

The following Annual Report of the Hongkong General Post Office for the Year 1871, is published for general information.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 6th April, 1872.

No. 18.

CECIL C. SMITH, Acting Colonial Secretary.

GENERAL POST OFFICE, HONGKONG,

28th March, 1872.

SIR, I have the honor to submit for the information of His Excellency SIR RICHARD GRAVES MACDONNELL, K. C. M. G., and C. B., the twelfth Annual Report on the Post Office, being that for the year 1871.

　　2. The arrangements mentioned in my last Report under which the general Mails for Shanghae are sorted in this Office instead of at sea as formerly, have been successfully carried out, with ad- vantage to the Shanghae Community, but at the cost of this Government.

　　3. The building No. 15 Nankin Road, Shanghae, to which the Post Office was removed, under the sanction contained in C. S. O. No. 491 dated 15th February, 1871, is centrally situated, commo- dious, and otherwise adapted for Post Office purposes.

4. The increasing importance of Shanghae as a commercial entrep?t is, however, such as to fully justify the erection of a Post Office, and so long as the Mail Packets touch there, I consider, as I stated in the Report of my Tour of Inspection, that as an investment and for obvious reasons, it will be far more advantageous to the Public to have a building erected specially for Post Office purposes, than to continue the present plan, paying rent and being liable to repeated changes.

　　5. The Convention or Agreement between the British Post Office and the Local Post Office at Shanghae, which had been in force for about four years, was abrogated in June last, and whilst the Revenue has not been affected by the separation of the two Offices, no inconvenience has apparently been sustained by the Public.

　　6. No improvement has taken place in the Revenue of the Yokohama Agency since the 24th March last, when I reported a decline of about 35 per cent therein attributable to the opening out of the Pacific Railway from San Francisco to New York, which has diverted most of the correspondence from Japan for the United States of America and a portion of that for the United Kingdom from its former route by British Packets vi? Hongkong, to the less expensive and more direct route afforded by the United States' Packets at present plying monthly between Yokohama and San Francisco, and it is probable that when those Packets run fortnightly the usefulness of the British Post Office at Yoko- hama will be still further diminished and its Revenue likewise. The loss involved by the mainte- nance of that Office is borne chiefly by the Imperial Post Office.

7. The Spanish Government having in June last entered into a contract for the exchange of Mails between Singapore and Manila, the Mail service between Hongkong and Manila, which had been for many years conducted by vessels of the Spanish Navy, was discontinued. The new service is carried on in connection with the fortnightly English Mail Packets only, and the Letters from Manila for transmission by the homeward French Mail Packets and for the United States' Mail Packets are still sent to this Office by private steamers from Manila.

8. The arrangement made in the year 1864 with the Government of India under which corres- pondence conveyed by private ship between India (which then included the Straits Settlements) and Hongkong is charged with Postage at the receiving Office only, which Office pays the gratuity to the Ship Master for its conveyance, has been departed from in the Settlements, and, whilst the correspondence for Singapore, Penang and Malacca is forwarded from this Office by private vessels without any prepayment of Postage, it appears that the Post Offices at those places make the prepayment of the Postage compulsory on such correspondence, which is, under the arrangement above referred to, liable, on receipt here, to a charge of 8 cents per ounce Letter and of two cents As each Paper to enable this Office to pay the gratuity authorized by Law for its conveyance. this is obviously both inequitable and inconvenient to the Public, I have called attention to the matter in a letter dated 7th October, 1871, No. 55.

　　9. The negociations referred to in the 15th paragraph of my last Annual Report for a regular exchange of direct Mails between Hongkong and Brindisi, which includes the transmission of corres- pondence between Hongkong and all the British Postal Agencies in China and Japan on the one side, and Italy, Switzerland, the German States, Austria, Belgium, Holland, Denmark, Heligoland, Swe- den, Norway and Russia on the other, have been completed, and the arrangements made have been found advantageous to the Public. Letters between the places named are delivered more speedily and at less cost for Postage than when they were passed through the French Post Office.

　　10. The whole of the Postal Agencies in China and Japan have been thoroughly inspected during the past year, and the result of the examination thereof will be found fully set forth in my letter of the 20th July, No. 43.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 6TH APRIL, 1872.

199

　　11. The French Mail service which in 1870 was reduced to one Packet every 28 days each way between Marseilles and China resumed its fortnightly service during 1871.

12. The departure of both the British and French Mail Packets has been made one day later than formerly from Hongkong and Shanghae, and two days later from Yokohama.

13. The opportunity which has been afforded to the Public of sending such of their correspondence for the United Kingdom as they may desire by means of the numerous steam vessels proceeding through the Suez Canal, has been taken advantage of to a very limited extent only.

14. On account of a change in the rates of Postage on letters addressed to the United Kingdom from 32 to 30 cents per half ounce, the color of the 30 cent stamp has been altered because the color of the old stamp assimilated so closely to the color of the 8 cent stamp as to make the one liable to be mistaken for the other by gas light.

　　15. The following statement shows a decrease of $8,847.09 in the Gross Revenue of 1871, as com- pared with the Revenue of 1870; but as the amount of uncollected Revenue at the end of 1871 was $53.71 less than that which was outstanding at the end of 1870, the actual decrease of the gross Revenue in 1871, is in reality $8,900.80; of this sum about Four Thousand Dollars is out of the Colonial Revenue and the remainder out of the Revenue of the Imperial Post Office.

20. It is a matter of regret that although there has been no diminution in the amount of labor imposed upon the Officers and no decrease in the efficiency of the Department, the foregoing state- ment shews a falling off in the Revenue. This falling off arises (1) from the discontinuance of the Mail service between Hongkong and Manila; (2) from the falling off in the correspondence to and from the Continent resulting from 'the Franco-German War, and (3) from the reduction of one penny per half ounce in the rates of Postage on Letters between China and the United Kingdom.

21.

　　The Colonial Expenditure in 1871, for Post Office purposes (including $2,730.60 for conveyance of Ship Mails, and payments made to the United States' Post Office amounting to $716.94, for the conveyance of British closed Mails between Shanghae and Nagasaki, and between Yokohama and Hiogo) amounts to

　　33. The amount realized by the sale of Postage Stamps in 1871, was $138,910.40. Stamps of the value of $78,405.60 were sold in Hongkong, and the remainder, viz.; $60,504.80, at the Post Office Agencies at the Ports, shewing a decrease of $6,852.52 in those sold in Hongkong, and an increase of $1,631.44 in those sold at the Ports, as compared with 1870.

THE REVD. W. LOBSCHEID.

IE above work, which has been chiefly com- piled for the purpose of aiding students in 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.

RE-VACCINATION.

By vaccination in infancy, if thoroughly well-performed and successful, most people are completely insured, for their whole life-time, against an attack of small-pox; and in the proportionately few cases where the protection is less complete, small-pox, if it be caught, will, in consequence of the vaccination, generally be so mild a disease as not to threaten death or disfigurement. If however the vaccination in early life have been but imperfectly performed, or have from any other cause been but imperfectly successful, the protection against small-pox is much less satisfactory; neither lasting so long, nor while it lasts being nearly so complete, as the protection which first-rate vaccination gives. Hitherto, unfortunately, there has always been a very large quantity of imperfect vaccination; and in consequence the population always contains very many persons who, though nominally vaccinated and believing themselves to be protected against small-pox, are really liable to infection, and may in some cases contract as severe forms of small-pox as if they had never been vaccinated. Partly because of the existence of this large number of imperfectly vaccinated persons, and partly because also even the best infantine vac- cination sometimes in process of time loses more or less of its effect, it is advisable that all persons who have been vaccinated in infancy should, as they approach adult life, undergo RE-VACCINATION. Generally speaking, the best time of life for re- vaccination is about the time when growth is completing itself, say from 15 to 18 years of age; and persons in that period of life ought not to delay their re-vaccination till times when there shall be special alarm of small-pox. In proportion, however, as there is prevalence of small-pox in any neighbourhood, or as individuals are from personal circumstances likely to meet chances of infection, the age of 15 needs not be waited for; especially not by young persons whose marks of previous vac- cination are unsatisfactory. In circumstances of special danger, every one past childhood, on whom re-vaccination has not before been succesfully performed, ought without delay to be re-vaccinated.

Re-vaccination, once properly and successfully performed, does not appear ever to require repetition. The nurses and other servants of the Small-Pox Hospital when they enter the service (unless it be certain that they have already had small- pox) are invariably submitted to vaccination, which in their case generally is re-vaccination, and is never afterwards repeated; and so perfect is the protection, that though the nurses live in the closest and most constant attendance on small-pox patients, and though also the other servants are in various ways exposed to special chances of infection, the Resident Surgeon of the Hospital, during his thirty-four years of office there, has never known small-pox affect any one of these nurses or servants.

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.

VOTES AND PROCEEDINGS OF THE LEGISLATIVE

COUNCIL OF HONGKONG. .

No. 3 of 1872.

FRIDAY, 5TH APRIL, 1872. PRESENT:

His Excellency Governor SIR RICHARD GRAVES MACDONNELL, K.C.M.G., C.B. The Honorable the Acting Chief Justice (HENRY JOHN BALL).

The Honorable the Acting Colonial Secretary (CECIL CLEMENTI SMITH). The Honorable the Acting Attorney General (THOMAS CHILD HAYLLAR). The Honorable the Acting Treasurer (CHARLES MAY).

The Honorable PHINEAS RYRIE.

The Honorable WILLIAM Keswick.

The Honorable HENRY Lowcock.

The Honorable JAMES GREIG.

The Council meets this day at 3 P.M., pursuant to adjournment.

The Minutes of the Council held on the 25th March, are read and confirmed. His Excellency refers to the Correspondence which had passed with the Secretary of State in reference to the increase of Salary to the Crown Solicitor, Mr. EDMUND SHARP, which, by Despatch No. 131 of the 27th October, 1871, His Lordship had sanctioned, and which was authorized to take effect from the date of Mr. SHARP'S appointment to the Office on the 25th January, 1871. The Governor then states that in compliance with the Secretary of State's instructions, Mr. SHARP had been paid the arrears due to him from the above date to the 31st December, 1871; and that he has since received Salary at the increased rate of Pay (?500 per annum) to the 31st March, 1872. But when His Excellency allowed the increase thus sanctioned to be paid to Mr. SHARP, no information whatever was placed before him to show that such increase had been originally placed on the Estimates for 1872, and rejected by the Council. This circumstance was only known to His Excellency at the last Meeting, and he now finds that no Report whatever of such rejection (which might have been transmitted at the time by Telegraph) had been made to the Secretary of State.

Discussion follows,-

After which, it is moved by the Honorable the Acting Chief Justice, and seconded by the Honorable the Acting Attorney General, that the increase of the Crown Solicitor's Salary as sanctioned by the Secretary of State, be placed on the Supplementary Estimates for 1872.

Debate ensues.

His Excellency lays on the Table the following Despatch from the Secretary of State :-

"HONGKONG.

“No. 20.

"DOWNING STREET, 8th February, 1872." "SIR,I have informed you by a Telegram sent this day, that it is expected that "SIR ARTHUR KENNEDY, who succeeds you in the Government of Hongkong, would leave

'Southampton on the 28th instant to relieve you.

"I am glad to have been thus enabled to meet your wishes as to your departure from the "Colony.

"SIR R. G. MACDONNELL, K.C.M.G., C.B.,"

"&c.,

Sc.,

&c."

"KIMBERLEY.”

His Excellency states that since the last Meeting of the Council he had received a Telegraphic Despatch from the Secretary of State, of the 2nd instant, directing postponement of Legislation on the Reconstruction of the Courts and Procedure, until the return of Mr. PAUNCEFOTE, who was at work on the subject. Accordingly, the two Bills providing for such Legislation, (which were read a first time at the last Meeting of the Council on the 25th March last) are postponed. The Bill for the more effectual Prevention of Crime is brought forward for the second reading.

The Honorable the Acting Chief Justice, by request of His Excellency, explains the provisions of the Bill.

Debate ensues.

After which, the Bill is read a second time.

On going into Committee upon the Clauses of the Bill, it is moved by the Honorable WILLIAM KESWICK, and unanimously agreed to,-that consideration of the Bill be postponed till the Police Commission, which is now taking evidence upon many points connected with the subject of the Bill, shall have sent in their Report.

Read a first time a Bill to give to the Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Company certain extended Powers.

His Excellency explains the provisions of the Bill.

Whereupon, it is moved by the Honorable the Acting Colonial Secretary, seconded by the Honorable the Acting Chief Justice, and unanimously agreed,-that, as there are no amend- ments whatever, the Standing Orders be suspended, and the Bill be carried through its several stages at the present sitting of the Council.

The Bill is then read a second time, committed and passed,-bearing the Title of "An Ordinance enacted by the Governor of Hongkong, with the Advice of the Legislative Council thereof, to amend Ordinance No. 5 of 1866, and to give to the Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Company certain extended Powers,"-being "No. 1 of 1872."

The Bill to prevent certain Nuisances is read a second time, and the Council goes into Committee upon

the Clauses of the Bill, which are discussed Clause by Clause, and amended.

In the course of revision it is moved by the Honorable PHINEAS RYRIE, and seconded by the Honorable the Acting Chief Justice, that Section III,-which had been renumbered and made Section V,-be struck out.

Question put and negatived.

At the suggestion of the Honorable the Acting Chief Justice a new Clause is introduced providing for Appeals in certain cases, which is agreed to, and ordered to stand as Section VI. The Bill having gone through Committee, is adopted by the Council and passed,-bearing the Title of "An Ordinance enacted by the Governor of Hongkong, with the Advice of the Legislative Council thereof, to prevent certain Nuisances,”—being "No. 2 of 1872.”

The Bill for the Oral Examination of Prisoners is read a second time.

The Honorable the Acting Attorney General, by His Excellency's request, explains the provisions of the Bill.

The Bill is then discussed in Committee, amended and passed,-bearing the Title of "An Ordinance enacted by the Governor of Hongkong, with the Advice of the Legislative Council thereof, to provide for the Oral Examination of Prisoners,"-being "No. 3 of 1872."

The Bill to provide for the Trial and Punishment of Offenders found at large within the Colony, in violation of any Conditional Pardon, (which was read a first time at the last Meeting of the Council), is withdrawn by His Excellency's Command, on the ground that sufficient powers already exist by Ordinance to deal with such Offences.

THE HONGKONG G?VERNMENT GAZETTE, 20TH APRIL, 1872.

225

The Bill for the Branding and Punishment of Criminals in certain cases is brought forward for the

second reading, and its general merits and principle are discussed.

The Bill is then read a second time, and committed.

The Honorable the Acting Chief Justice moves that Section I be struck out.

The motion not being seconded, Section I, and the Sections following, are discussed and agreed to.

The Bill having gone through Committee, is adopted by the Council and passed,-bearing the Title of "An Ordinance enacted by the Governor of Hongkong, with the Advice of the Legislative Council thereof, to make Provision for the Branding and Punishment of Criminals in certain Cases,"-being "No. 4 of 1872."

His Excellency lays on the Table a Bill for the better Registration of Domestic Servants, and the same

is read a first time.

His Excellency having remarked that there is no further business before the Council,-

The Honorable PHINEAS RYRIE rises to call attention to the present Meeting of the Council being the last at which His Excellency would preside. On behalf of the Non-official Members he begged to express their thanks to His Excellency for the manner in which he had always listened to such observations as they had to make on matters of Public interest, and for the way in which the business of the Council had been in general conducted. They much regretted that His Excellency was leaving them, and hoped that on his arrival at home his health would be fully restored. With these few words he and his fellow-Members wished to bid His Excellency adieu and a pleasant passage homeward.

His Excellency the Governor in reply stated that it was impossible to take leave of the Council without regret. He was much obliged to Mr. RYRIE and the Non-official Members for their expressions of cordial feeling. It was a great satisfaction to him on leaving to remember that in the conduct of the administration, and in presiding over the Council, he had had such support from the Non-official Members.

Whatever might be said regarding his administration, it had enjoyed the sanction of those who were perhaps best entitled to represent the Community. He hoped the Council would continue to work well. Of the individual Members he should cherish an agreeable recollection, and trusted to meet them again, not here, but elsewhere. He now bade them Good-bye, and wished prosperity to the Colony, which he should long remember with deep interest.

His Excellency then adjourns the Council at a quarter to 7 o'clock.

Read and confirmed, this 16th Day of April, 1872.

The Bill for the Branding and Punishment of Criminals in certain cases is brought forward for the

second reading, and its general merits and principle are discussed.

The Bill is then read a second time, and committed.

The Honorable the Acting Chief Justice moves that Section I be struck out.

The motion not being seconded, Section I, and the Sections following, are discussed and agreed to.

The Bill having gone through Committee, is adopted by the Council and passed,-bearing the Title of "An Ordinance enacted by the Governor of Hongkong, with the Advice of the Legislative Council thereof, to make Provision for the Branding and Punishment of Criminals in certain Cases,"-being "No. 4 of 1872."

His Excellency lays on the Table a Bill for the better Registration of Domestic Servants, and the same

is read a first time.

His Excellency having remarked that there is no further business before the Council,-

The Honorable PHINEAS RYRIE rises to call attention to the present Meeting of the Council being the last at which His Excellency would preside. On behalf of the Non-official Members he begged to express their thanks to His Excellency for the manner in which he had always listened to such observations as they had to make on matters of Public interest, and for the way in which the business of the Council had been in general conducted. They much regretted that His Excellency was leaving them, and hoped that on his arrival at home his health would be fully restored. With these few words he and his fellow-Members wished to bid His Excellency adieu and a pleasant passage homeward.

His Excellency the Governor in reply stated that it was impossible to take leave of the Council without regret. He was much obliged to Mr. RYRIE and the Non-official Members for their expressions of cordial feeling. It was a great satisfaction to him on leaving to remember that in the conduct of the administration, and in presiding over the Council, he had had such support from the Non-official Members.

Whatever might be said regarding his administration, it had enjoyed the sanction of those who were perhaps best entitled to represent the Community. He hoped the Council would continue to work well. Of the individual Members he should cherish an agreeable recollection, and trusted to meet them again, not here, but elsewhere. He now bade them Good-bye, and wished prosperity to the Colony, which he should long remember with deep interest.

His Excellency then adjourns the Council at a quarter to 7 o'clock.

The following Letter, received from the Commissioners for making Improvements in the Port of Calcutta, is published for general information.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 18th April, 1872.

CECIL C. SMITH, Acting Colonial Secretary.

OFFICE OF THE COMMISSIONERS FOR MAKING IMPROVEMENTS IN THE PORT OF CALCUTTA,

6 COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS, the 18th March, 1872.

From W. D. BRUCE, Esq., Vice-Chairman. To the SECRETARY to the Government of HONGKONG.

　SIR, The Commissioners for making Improvements in the Port of Calcutta have in store the undermentioned Anchors, Buoys, Shackles, Chains and Mooring Gear, which having been replaced in this Port by Screws and Buoys of a larger description to suit the heavier mooring Gear lately introduced, they are now desirous of disposing of.

OFFICE OF THE COMMISSIONERS FOR MAKING IMPROVEMENTS IN THE PORT OF CALCUTTA,

6 COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS, the 18th March, 1872.

From W. D. BRUCE, Esq., Vice-Chairman. To the SECRETARY to the Government of HONGKONG.

　SIR, The Commissioners for making Improvements in the Port of Calcutta have in store the undermentioned Anchors, Buoys, Shackles, Chains and Mooring Gear, which having been replaced in this Port by Screws and Buoys of a larger description to suit the heavier mooring Gear lately introduced, they are now desirous of disposing of. Many of the Buoys are in first rate condition having been a very short time in use, and most of the material, though no longer suited to the purposes of this Port, might be advantageously used for purposes connected with Channel and Coast marks. Some of the material is being so utilised for the Channels leading to this Port, but the quantity in store is so large that it would take years to be entirely utilised here, and it is therefore considered desirable to look beyond the Port for opportunities of using up the spare material. With this view I have the honor to solicit that should such an oppor- tunity occur under your Government, you would be good enough to indent upon the Port Commissioners, who will be able to supply any of the undermentioned articles at very low rates.-I have the honor to be, Sir, Your most obedient Servant,

　　The following Report of the Acting Harbor Master, with Returns annexed, for the Year 1871, is published for general information.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 20th April, 1872.

No. 46.

CECIL C. SMITH, Acting Colonial Secretary.

HARBOUR MASTER'S OFFICE,

HONGKONG, 16th March, 1872.

　　SIR, I have the honour to enclose the Annual Returns from this Department for the year 1871, as follows:-

I. Number, Tonnage and Crews of Vessels entered.

II. Number, Tonnage and Crews of Vessels cleared.

III. Number, Tonnage and Crews of Vessels of each, Nation entered. IV. Number, Tonnage and Crews of Vessels of each Nation cleared.

V. Total Number, Tonnage and Crews of Vessels entered at each Port. VI. Total Number, Tonnage and Crews of Vessels cleared at each Port. VII. Return of Junks entered from Macao.

VIII. Return of Junks cleared for Macao.

IX. Return of Junks entered at each Port from China and Formosa. X. Return of Junks cleared at each Port for China and Formosa.

XI. Gross total Number of Junks entered at each Port.

XII. Gross total Number of Junks cleared at each Port.

XIII. Return of Junks (Local Trade ) entered.

)

XIV. Return of Junks (Local Trade) cleared.

XV. Summary of Arrivals and Departures of all Vessels, and of all Chinese Passengers. XVI. Return of Vessels registered.

XVII. Return of Vessels struck off the Register.

XVIII. Return of Emigrant Ships cleared by the Emigration Officer.

XIX. Return of Vessels bringing Chinese Passengers to Hongkong from Places out of China.

XX. Amount of Fees received under Ordinance No. 10 of 1860.

XXI. Return of Marine Cases tried.

　　2. In comparison with the year 1870, there is a very considerable increase of trade generally, the gross total of Shipping is larger by 9,204 vessels of all nationalities, representing a carrying capacity of 983,057 tons. The Junk trade has increased, and the trade within our own waters, from one part of the Colony to another, has also increased, though the movements of the Chinese carried as passen- gers exhibit a total falling off of over 200,000.

　　3. The marked increase of Steamer traffic is a fact so patent as scarcely to call for remark. The following figures will probably be interesting hereafter, when the change now taking place shall have been completed.

Total of all Vessels arriving, Junks excepted, 1871, Total of all Steamers arriving, 1871,

.....

1,372

692

2,064 Steamers thus forming 33.5 per cent of all arrivals. These figures do not include the River-steamers. 4. There has been no Contract Emigration during the year under review. A great feature in Chinese passenger traffic has been the introduction of Ordinance 8 of 1871, an adaptation of the law to the altered conditions of passenger-ships previously much needed. The new Ordinance is a boon both to the Charterers of steamers and to the Emigration Officer; and it practically supplies the want, so keenly felt before, of a condensed code of Emigration law. Table XV shews that 11,921 Chinese arrived in the Colony over and above 208,404 who arrived and departed.

　　5. The Harbour and Coasts Ordinance, 1866, continues to work satisfactorily. The Chinese now thoroughly understand it, and their sea-going community recognise its requirements as part of their ordinary duties. The Officers of the Department, in their duties afloat, are met with civility and good-humour.

　　6. The want of a swifter and more efficient vessel for coastal inspection is much felt, at the same time I think it not impossible that some comparatively inexpensive alterations to the Government steam-launch might convert her into a far more serviceable vessel than she is. I trust that when I have completed my inquiries as to the best means of increasing her speed, the outlay will be sanctioned. At present, during at least six months of the year, an inspection of the whole island is attended with inconveniences which can only be properly appreciated by those who have suffered them; and I consider that it is a severe strain on the health of the Officer undertaking the duty.

230

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 20TH APRIL, 1872.

7. I may perhaps be allowed a word as to the Staff required at the outstations. A cry was raised during the year under review about some imaginary interference of this Department with the Police. The gentlemen with whom this became a fixed idea were perhaps not aware that in 1866-67 three Inspectors were added to the Police force for the Harbour Master's Stations. So that to point out that these men are taken away by Marine duties from their proper work, is simply to complain that officers, who can conveniently undertake collateral Police duties, have still to devote some atten- tion to the particular objects for which they were specially engaged.

8. I would point out that, at the outstations in question, the village may be taken, in a very important sense, to consist of Junks more than of houses. To have a Police officer on shore watching the houses and ignoring the shipping, or vice versa, would be a most fatal mistake.

9. Again, there is not, at any one of the stations, sufficient separate work, either on land or afloat, to keep an Inspector wholesomely employed, and occupy his whole attention. But the two taken together both help and check each other. I need only cite certain cases at Shau-ki Wan in proof of this. In one instance, the late Inspector ANNINGSON, boarding a Junk in his Marine capacity, found some dead bodies under hatches, and this circumstance led to most important captures by the Police. I cannot suppose that he would have been better employed waiting for something to occur on shore. I trust these few explanatory remarks will dispel what I cannot but regard as a pernicious error. I believe the Police authorities will agree with me when I say, that to separate the joint Police and Marine control of the outstations, on the ground of an interference which does not exist, would be pushing a theory, that happens to have a plausible look on paper, to a most injurious extent.

10. I understand that it is proposed to have a joint Police and Harbour Station at Kowloon. I consider such an arrangement would be highly desirable. Could the new station be connected with this Office by a short telegraphic cable it would have little to be desired in the means of control of the Harbour.

11. Whilst I am on the subject of the existing preventive service, I may revert to a sentence in the Harbour Master's Report for 1870, which appears to have given rise to a misunderstanding. I allude to the statement that, "Piracy, once so rife in these waters, is now seldom, if ever heard of.”

12. This would, at first sight, seem directly opposed to the Police returns, which shew each year a considerable number of piracy cases. But it seems sufficiently clear that the Harbour Master was referring to attacks on foreign vessels, such cases as those of the C?sar and Lubra for instance, which are now seldom if ever heard of.

　　13. Robberies by one Chinese craft from another, committed sometimes at a distance of one or two hundred miles from this Colony, are reported and recorded as "Piracies," and these of course conti- nue to occur, there is no prospect of their ceasing. But there is a discernible difference between these and the disgraceful piratical trade once carried on in this Town and Harbour.

14. The prohibition of Stinkpots ordered by His Excellency the Lieutenant-Governor in Council on August 16th, 1870, has been enforced within our waters. The effect has not been to create the panic usually attendant on any such change of legislation; but only, I think, because subterfuges to evade the law are both obvious and easy.

15. Stinkpots can be manufactured at a few moment's notice out of various articles necessarily carried in every Junk; and they can be as quickly destroyed, at a most trifling loss, the powder being saved. Thus it is perfectly possible for every Junk to conforin to the law here, and yet be always furnished with Stinkpots on the coast or in the rivers.

16. Until Chinese waters become safer, I cannot think the Junk people much to blame in adopt- ing every possible means of defence. Sometimes passengers or shippers insist on the Master's pro- viding Stinkpots.

17. Although the regulation is made in pursuance of an Ordinance for co-operation with the Chinese Authorities against Piracy; as far as I can learn, it is only on our side that any effort is made in the matter. That, when Stinkpots were said to be prohibited in Chinese waters, more Junks arrived with them from Canton than from any other place, does not perhaps prove anything, as they might have been made en route. But, as far as my information extends, they are made, carried, and used in the Chinese rivers quite unchecked and unchallenged; and they are certainly carried on the Coast without let or hindrance.

men.

18. 7,771 men have been shipped during the year, against 7,507 discharged. The subject of des- titute seamen excited considerable public interest about twelve months ago, but this would appear to have died away, and the question is just where it was. I am convinced that the only remedy for many existing evils would be for the Government to take the whole charge of boarding and shipping sea- Accommodation for each nationality, infinitely better than that of the present wretched board- ing houses, does not necessarily involve a costly building, and the whole scheme should be as distinct from any considerations of profit as is the Gaol or the Central School. Nevertheless, I am sure that, even including what I may call a Deserter's Ward, in which the barest necessaries of life should be supplied to those who cannot legally claim any relief whatever, the system would more than pay its own expenses.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient Servant,

The Honourable CECIL C. SMITH,

THE REVD. W. LOBSCHEID.

E above work, which has been chiefly com- piled for the purpose of aiding students in 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.

　　The following Decision of the Marine Court of Inquiry into the circumstances attending the stranding of the British steamer Hailoong, Official No. 65,082, off Tungao Roads near Breaker Point, is published for general information.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 27th April, 1872.

FINDING OF THE COURT.

CECIL C. SMITH, Acting Colonial Secretary.

1st. The British screw steamer Hailoong, Official No. 65,082, of the Port of Aberdeen, sailed from Hongkong, bound for Swatow, with a general cargo, four European, and about three hundred and fifty Chinese Passengers, and a total Crew of seven Europeans and twenty-five Chinese and Malays.

2nd.--Owing to the heavy weather, it was found necessary to anchor in sheltered positions on the

nights of the 1st and 2nd April.

3rd. The Hailoong started at 4 A.M. of the 3rd April from under "Kup-chi" Point, and because of the continual heavy weather, kept a course along shore, and at about half past seven A.M. without any indication of danger, struck on a sunken rock not noted in the Chart, situated in lat. 22° 54′ 30′′ North, long. 116° 19′ 30′′ East, and commenced to fill rapidly.

4th.--The Captain and Officers appear to have used all proper efforts and means at command to subdue the leak, but finding that impossible, wisely determined to beach the vessel, and this was accomplished with safety at "Tun-gao" Roads, Westward of the "White Rocks," opposite to a village.

5th. After communication with the Chinese local Officials, the Chinese Passengers were landed, and subsequently thereto, the whole of the Officers and Crew left in the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company's steamer Bombay, which passed the place "en route" to Yoko- hama. The Master of the Hailoong remained by his vessel, placing himself and the steamer under the protection of a Chinese Government Officer.

6th.-Assistance came on several following days, and the steamer was ultimately floated and conveyed

to Hongkong aided by H. M. Gun-boat Elk and the steamer Formosa.

7th.-The Court acquits the Master and Officers of all blame with regard to the striking of the vessel

on the rock, and considers the action taken by them after the accident to be deserving of praise. 8th. The Court desires to express in the strongest terms its appreciation of the friendly and valuable services rendered by the Chinese Government Officers, and recommends that Her Majesty's Government should convey to them a recognition of their commendable conduct.

9th. The Court desires to bring to the knowledge of Government that the Hailoong cleared from Hongkong with 150 Chinese Passengers, but prior to sailing this number was increased to 350, making with the Crew about 400 Persons on board, for whose safety in event of accident, only three boats (capable of accomodating 75 Persons) were provided.

Confirmed.

Given under our hands at Hongkong, this 23rd day of April, 1872.

The Minutes of the Council held on the 15th April, having been read and confirmed,— His Excellency SIR ARTHUR EDWARD KENNEDY, K.C.M.G., C.B., enters the Council Chamber, and having taken his place at the Table, produces a Commission from Her Most Gracious Majesty The QUEEN, passed under the Great Seal, and bearing date at Westminster the 13th of February, 1872,-appointing him to be Governor and Commander-in-Chief of the Colony of Hongkong and its Dependencies.

The Royal Commission is read, and the Honorable the Acting Chief Justice administers to His Excellency the Oaths of Office, under the usual Salutes.

His Excellency in assuming charge of the Administration of the Government, addresses to the Council a few observations as to the duties devolving on himself and the Council,-the difficulties he must encounter in succeeding one possessing the admitted administrative ability of SIR RICHARD GRAVES MACDONNELL, and the urgent necessity for the good of The Queen's Service that the fullest reciprocal confidence should be established between himself and the Members of the Council. He invites that confidence, and earnestly desires that differences of opinion occurring at the Debates in Council may never be allowed to degenerate into private differences.

His Excellency adjourns the Council sine die, at 17 minutes past 3 o'clock.

FIRE BRIGADE OFFICE, HONGKONG, 2nd May, 1872. SIR,-I have the honor to place in your hands, for submission to His Excellency the Governor, the Report of the Government Fire Brigade for the months of March and April.

An Inspection of Stores was had on the 16th March, when all were found clean and correct. The Hand Engines were worked from the "mains" at the Cross Roads, and found in good order.

The subsidiary Fire Stations were visited during the month and the Hose and Implements found

correct.

In consequence of the fire at No. 15, Bonham Strand, on the 26th March, of which an official Report was published in Government Gazette of the 27th March, the usual Parade and Inspection was not held at the end of the month.

An Inspection of Engines, Stores and Equipment was held on the 18th April; all were found clean and in order.

A Parade and Inspection of the Government and Volunteer Brigades was held at 5 P. M. on the 30th April. The Hongkong Insurance Company's Steam-engine, three Hand Engines of Chinese Asso- ciations, and two Steam and three Hand Engines of the Government Brigade, were in attendance; and were taken to the Praya in the vicinity of the Harbor Master's Office and worked from the sea: each Engine was found in good order and worked satisfactorily.

At 3 A.M. on the 29th April an alarm of fire proceeded from a cook shop situated at No. 293, Queen's Road Central, the back of which abuts on the Western Market. The inmates were roasting pigs, and carrying on other cooking for a festival day, when a lath and plaster chimney from the lower floor caught fire. The fire was speedily extinguished by the inmates and the Market scavengers. The Government Engines were in readiness, but were not turned out.

The owner of the premises was summoned for having a dangerous structure, and the case adjourn-

ed for one week within which a remedy is to be provided.

At about 1 to 10 A.M. on 1st May, an alarm of fire proceeded from the premises of Messrs. Vogel, Hagedorn & Co., situated at Gilman Street. It was found that a case of detonating cartridges had exploded, causing an immense amount of smoke, but no fire. The Hongkong Insurance Co.'s Steam Engine was brought to the place, and the hose run out, but it was not found necessary to be worked. One of the Foremen of the Government Brigade was on the spot immediately after the alarm and seeing that there was no fire, or danger, sent orders to the Fire Brigade Station not to bring out the Engines.

I have the honor to be,

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.

Cross of the Order of the Oaken Crown of Luxemburg, &c., &c., His Minister for the Colonies;

ARTICLE I.

Her Britannic Majesty desists from all objec- tions against the extension of the Netherland dominion in any part of the Island of Sumatra, and consequently from the reserve in that respect contained in the notes exchanged by the Ne- therland and British Plenipotentiaries at the con- clusion of the Treaty of the 7th of March, 1824.

ARTICLE III.

The stipulations of the preceding Article shall not interfere with the distinction established by the Netherland-Indian laws and regulations between individuals of Western and individuals of Eastern extraction, nor with the application of the stipulations of the Convention of the 27th of March, 1851.

ARTICLE IV. ·

The present Convention shall be ratified as soon as possible, and shall remain without force or effect until it has received, as far as shall be required, the approval of the States General.

In witness whereof the respective Plenipoten- tiaries have signed the same, and have affixed thereto the seal of their arms.

VOTES AND PROCEEDINGS OF THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL OF HONGKONG.

No. 5 OF 1872.

MONDAY, 29TH APRIL, 1872.

PRESENT:

His Excellency Governor SIR ARTHUR EDWARD KENNEDY, K.C.M.G., C.B. The Honorable the Acting Chief Justice (HENRY JOHN BALL).

The Honorable the Acting Colonial Secretary (CECIL CLEMENTI SMITHI). The Honorable the Acting Attorney General (THOMAS CHILD Hayllar). The Honorable the Acting Treasurer (CHARLES May).

The Honorable PHINEAS RYRIE.

The Honorable WILLIAM KESWICK. The Honorable HENRY Lowcock.

The Honorable JAMES Greig.

The Council meets this day at 3 P.M., by Special Summons.

The Minutes of the Council held on the 16th April, are read and confirmed.

His Excellency opens the proceedings by stating that he has convened the Council more especially for the purpose of rectifying a mistake which had occurred at the last Meeting on his being sworn into Office, in that, whilst the Royal Instructions issued to him on the 13th of February, 1872, directed that he should take the Oath of Allegiance prescribed by the Imperial Act 31 and 32 Victoria, Chapter 72, he had taken the Oath laid down in the Imperial Act 21 and 22 Victoria, Chapter 48, as ordered in the Royal Instructions to his Predecessor, of the 14th October, 1865. His Excellency then requests the Honorable the Acting Chief Justice to administer to him the Oath of Allegiance required by his Instructions, and such Oath is administered to His Excellency accordingly.

His Excellency then informs the Council that the Secretary of State had very strongly impressed upon

him the necessity of putting down Gambling in the Colony; and that being fully alive to the importance of the subject, he would not hesitate to call on the Council for the adoption of more stringent measures for the suppression of the vice, should experience show that those at present in force are inadequate to deal with the question.

His Excellency lays on the Table a Statement showing certain Items of Expenditure in excess of the Estimates for 1872 requiring Legislative sanction, and by direction of His Excellency these Items are explained seriatim by the Honorable the Acting Colonial Secretary.

His Excellency then moves that the following Sums, as set down in the Statement on the Table, be

placed on the Supplementary Estimates for 1872; namely:-

Medical Department.

1.) Rent of Quarters for Inspectors of Brothels, at $30 per mensem, .............................. (2.) Allowance to the Ward-Master of the Civil Hospital at $5 per mensen,

His Excellency invites the consideration of Honorable Members to the next Item on the Statement before the Council; namely:-the Grant of a Gratuity of $630 to CHEONG-ALAM, Porter at the Government Offices, on his retirement from his Post after 28 years and seven months of service-such Gratuity, as recommended by Governor SIR RICHARD GRAVES MACDONNELL and concurred in by the Executive Council, being calculated at the rate of one month's Pay ($15,) for each year of service, with an addition of 50 per cent over and above that rate, in consideration of his proved fidelity, and the courage displayed by him (and only one other Chinese employed by the Government), during the troubles of 1856 and 1857, in not deserting the QUEEN'S Service at the dictation of the Canton Authorities.

Debate ensues,-

After which, it is moved by the Honorable The Acting Chief Justice, and seconded by the Honorable The Acting Attorney General, that, as a special Case, a Retiring Allowance equal in amount to his present pay, ($15 per mensem) be granted to CHEONG-ALAM.

Question put and carried.

His Excellency then moves that the following Item be also placed on the Supplementary Estimates

for 1872:-

Works and Buildings.

Construction of a Dam in the Waste Weir at Pokfoolum, $2,000.

Question put and carried.

On His Excellency proposing the two next Items; namely:-

(a.) The erection of Walls on "Possession Point" to render it suitable as a Recreation

Ground for the Chinese, amounting to $1,000; and

(b.) The Construction of a Market at Shau-ki-Wan, estimated at $2,200:-

Dabate ensues on each Item,-and it appearing advisable in the course of discussion that further information should be obtained in reference to the proposed expenditure,--it is agreed, on His Excellency's suggestion, that consideration of the contemplated Works be adjourned.

His Excellency moves that, in pursuance of a recommendation from Governor SIR RICHARD GRAVES MACDONNELL, a Sum of $100 be granted to Mr. J. M. S. ALVES, 2nd Clerk in the Colonial Secretary's Office, as a remuneration for the extra work which he had been called upon lately to perform.

Question put and carried.

His Excellency adjourns the Council sine die, at 25 minutes past 4 o'clock.

PROCLAMATION ISSUED BY PREFECT OF CANTON.

Dated 19th May, 1872, affixed 20th May, 1872.

F?NG, Prefect of Canton hereby issues a Notification;

　　Whereas, the high Officials have transmitted orders from the Provincial Judge and Chancellor, enclosing instructions from the Viceroy, stating, that on the 14th of April, 1872, he received a despatch from Tsung-li Yam?n, under flying seal of Board of War, to the effect, that on the 29th February the Yam?n memorialised the Throne with the object of maintaining due observance of the Treaty, made between China and Great Britain, in the 10th year of Hsien-f?ng, establishing an Envoy [of the latter power in the dominions of the former] and enacting that any want of civility, molestation or disrespect should at once be severely punished by the local authorities; on the same day an Edict was received from His Imperial Majesty confirming the Memorial.

　　In the Yam?n's Memorial the following principles were laid down, that China has ever been actuated by justice in the transaction of affairs, but that it was necessary in addition that in her inter- course with foreign nations both parties should act without partiality or prejudice, and now since peace had been established between China and foreign powers the officials and people of both should be actuated by courtesy in their mutual intercourse, that as none of the foreign powers wished to exercise an undue pressure on China, she on her part should not entertain a feeling of disrespect for them. Hence, for the sake of permanently maintaining friendly relations, and of avoiding possibility of complications and disorders, the common people, where ignorant of these principles, should be instructed by means of Notifications to be issued by local authorities. The Yam?n deem it their duty to request the Viceroy to act in accordance with the letter of their memorial, and thus shew his respect for the Imperial Edict, by enjoining on all the local authorities under him a zealous performance of the commands given, and that a mere perfunctory obedience will not be deemed sufficient. The Viceroy on his part considers it his duty to instruct the Provincial Judge, Chancellor, and Taotais to order the Prefects to act in accordance with the contents of the Yam?n's despatch and to shew their respect to the Imperial Edict by transmitting the orders to the various Magistrates for their zealous obedience, and also to issue Notifications for the instruction of the common people. Any Magistrate failing in zeal to carry out the above orders is to be degraded; Whereas these orders have been given to the Prefect-

　　Therefore, the undersigned, besides having duly ordered the Magistrates under his authority to set earnestly to work to carry out their instructions, and not to fall into the fault of a mere eye-serving acquiescence in them,—and, believing it possible that you the people may perchance be for the time ignorant of the adove edict, deems it his duty to explain the matter succinctly in this Proclamation. He therefore notifies to you soldiers and people that if hereafter you come in contact with foreign officials or people you must obey the treaty. You should on all occasions behave on the principle of host and guest, you must not regard the foreigners as aliens, but should meet them with politeness, treat them in a friendly spirit, and not entertain the least feeling wrongful or disrespectful to them, it is also important that you should have no intention of behaving discourteously.

It is most necessary that the friendly relations with foreigners should be firmly and closely knit. Should any person be so viciously inclined as, either by discourtesy, or disrespect or by other act, to commit a breach of the treaty which comes to the knowledge of the undersigned, he will punish the offence with the utmost rigour of the law without mercy. Tremble and obey.

BY

THE RnvD. W. LOBSCHEID.

HE above work, which has been chiefly com- piled for the purpose of aiding students in 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.

NOTICE TO MARINERS.

　　Notice is hereby given that the sub-marine telegraph cable across the Straits of Sunda is laid down from Anjer, along the west coast of Java to Java's 4th point, and thence in the direction North 54° West.

　　The direction of the cable from Anjer to the "4th point" is indicated by three white buoys, on which is painted in black the word "Kabel." They have on the top a small flag with the Dutch colours, and the word "Telegraaf" in the white.

　　A similar buoy is placed at Telok-Betong near the landing-place of the cable in 5 fathoms, and the direction of the shore-end is indicated by two white beacons.

It is therefore not allowed to anchor:

19. on the west coast of Java:

a. between the line of the three white buoys and the coast.

b. between the bearings.

Light-house on "4th point" S. 40° E. and S. 70° E.

　　(During the night this part of the horizon will be illuminated by a fixed bright dioptrical light with a range of visibility from a vessel's deck of 8 nautical miles. It is placed in the stone tower, from which the second order light of "Java's 4th point" is shown); and

c. as long as two lights, one under the other, are seen on "Java's 4th point."

2o. at Telok-Betong:

a. eastward of the line, marked by the two white beacons.

b. inside of the white buoy.

Any ship, having been compelled to drop the anchor where this is not allowed by this notice, must weigh it carefully, and not set sail till it is certain that the cable has not been lifted up at the same time.

When this might be the case, the cable must be taken from the anchor and slipped with the greatest care, so that it can in no way be damaged.

In his absence:

NOTICE TO MARINERS, 1871, No. 12.

Notice is hereby given that the American Whaler Xantho wrecked in latitude 6° 30′ South, and 121° 17′ East from Greenwich on the reefs extending in S. S. E. direction from North Tiger Island towards Kalac Toea.

North Tiger Island is the most N. El. of a group of Coral Islands, lying east from the south end of Pulo Saleyer (Celebes) and called "Tiger Islands." Many of them are covered with trees and brushwood, while some are merely patches, dry at low water.

288

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 1ST JUNE, 1872.

They are all surrounded by large reefs forming a large chain of patches and shoals to the South and S. S. E.

　The Commander of the Government Steamer Hertog Bernard found by many observations the position of North Tiger Island to be in latitude 6° 21′ South, and longitude 121° 3′ East from Greenwich.

The master of the Xantho reports a safe passage to the N. N. W., between "Kalao Toea" and "Postpaard Island," for ships coming from the South. North Tiger Island is visible from a vessel's deck at a distance of 8 miles. No anchorage was found.

The following Decision of the Marine Court of Inquiry into the loss of the British steamer Douglas, Official Number 53,246, is published for general information.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 4th June, 1872.

FINDING OF THE COURT.

CECIL C. SMITH, Acting Colonial Secretary.

1st. We find that the British Steamer Douglas, Official Number 53,246, of Aberdeen, whilst on her voyage from Swatow to Amoy, on the 29th ultimo, did, at about 8.15 P.M. of that day, run on the Dioyu Rocks situated about five miles E. N. E. of the North point of the Island of Namoa, and was there totally lost.

2nd.-We find that from a position off Bay Island to a position determined by cross bearings of Difficult Island and Fort Head, a distance of about eight miles, the Douglas had been set one mile to the South of her course.

3rd. We find that from the last mentioned position, the vessel was steered a course to the Eastward, scarcely any allowance being made to counteract the effect of the current which had been expe- rienced during the previous three quarters of an hour, and to this oversight we ascribe the loss of the Douglas.

3rd.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 8TH JUNE, 1872.

4th.---We find that the ship, on an evening represented as being very dark and hazy, was going over the ground at the high rate of eleven knots an hour, a speed which the Court considers a most imprudent one under the circumstances.

5th.-We find that the use of the lead was neglected.

We conclude that the loss of the Douglas is due to the default of the Master, James EDWARD TOPPIN, whose Certificate of Competency, Hongkong No. 189, we do hereby suspend for a period of Nine Months from this date.

The Court regrets to remark on the many accidents that have recently occurred on the East Coast of China, and they fear that unless greater prudence as to speed on dark nights, look-out, and use of lead is more practised than seems to have been the case in navigating this ship, still further casualties, perhaps attended by loss of life, are likely to happen.

It is the pleasing duty of the Court to call the attention of the Government to that part of Captain TOPPIN's evidence where he states: "I saw the Mandarin (in charge of a war junk "from Namoa) who was very civil and offered to do anything he could for me.

He indig- "nantly refused any reward for his services, and afterwards provided boats and forwarded all my Passengers to Swatow free of expense.' The Court suggests that the conduct of this Official be brought to the notice of his superiors.

Given under our hands at Hongkong, this 31st day of May, 1872.

A CHINESE AND ENGLISH DICTIONARY,

BY

THE Rav?. W. LOBSCHEID.

THE above work, which has been chiefly com- piled for the purpose of aiding students in 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.

IE above work, which has been chiefly com- piled for the purpose of aiding students in 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.

FIRE BRIGADE OFFICE, HONGKONG, 4th July, 1872. SIR,-I have the honor to place in your hands, for submission to His Excellency the Governor, the Report of the Fire Brigade for the month of June ultimo.

Owing to the continuous wet weather about the middle of the month, it was not advisable to have the half-monthly Inspection.

The subsidiary Fire Stations were visited by the Assistant Superintendents, the Implements and Hose examined, and with the exception of some defects, which have been amended, found in order.

On the 28th June, at 8.30 P.M., there was an alarm of Fire from a house at the sea front of the Central Market. Foreman LIVINGSTON who has quarters at the Market, proceeded immediately to the place, and found that a cook-house chimney was on fire. With assistance Mr. LIVINGSTON extinguished the Fire. The Steam Engine of the Hongkong Insurance Company was promptly in attendance, and got up steam, but it was unnecessary to bring it into use. Assistant Superintendent TONNOCHY was at the scene; the Government Steam Engines were in readiness, but were not required.

There was an alarm of Fire the following day at 2 P.M.; this proceeded from the Central School, but all danger was removed by those resident on the premises.

On the 29th of June, there was a Parade and Inspection of the Government and Volunteer Brigades. The Government Steam and Hand Engines, and three Engines of Chinese Associations were present. No. 1 Steam Engine worked from the Sea near the Harbor Master's Office; No. 2 Steam Engine from the "main plugs" near Circular Buildings; the Hand Engines also worked from the "mains" in the vicinity; all were found in good order. All the Engines were in their Stations in less than an hour from the time of starting.

I have the honor to be,

THE HONGKOng governMENT GAZETTE, 6TH JULY, 1872.

FIRE BRIGADE OFFICE, HONGKONG, 4th July, 1872. SIR,-I have the honor to place in your hands, for submission to His Excellency the Governor, the Report of the Fire Brigade for the month of June ultimo.

Owing to the continuous wet weather about the middle of the month, it was not advisable to have the half-monthly Inspection.

The subsidiary Fire Stations were visited by the Assistant Superintendents, the Implements and Hose examined, and with the exception of some defects, which have been amended, found in order.

On the 28th June, at 8.30 P.M., there was an alarm of Fire from a house at the sea front of the Central Market. Foreman LIVINGSTON who has quarters at the Market, proceeded immediately to the place, and found that a cook-house chimney was on fire. With assistance Mr. LIVINGSTON extinguished the Fire. The Steam Engine of the Hongkong Insurance Company was promptly in attendance, and got up steam, but it was unnecessary to bring it into use. Assistant Superintendent TONNOCHY was at the scene; the Government Steam Engines were in readiness, but were not required.

There was an alarm of Fire the following day at 2 P.M.; this proceeded from the Central School, but all danger was removed by those resident on the premises.

On the 29th of June, there was a Parade and Inspection of the Government and Volunteer Brigades. The Government Steam and Hand Engines, and three Engines of Chinese Associations were present. No. 1 Steam Engine worked from the Sea near the Harbor Master's Office; No. 2 Steam Engine from the "main plugs" near Circular Buildings; the Hand Engines also worked from the "mains" in the vicinity; all were found in good order. All the Engines were in their Stations in less than an hour from the time of starting.

I have the honor to be,

CHINESE AND ENGLISH

DICTIONARY,

BY

THE ROVD. W. LOBSCHEID.

THE above work, which has been chiefly com piled for the purpose of aiding students in 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.

His Excellency adds, that he has read the Papers in the Colonial Secretary's Office proposing a Scheme of middle-class Education, but that in his opinion the Government should not move in the matter, until the views and requirements of the Com- munity upon the subject have been fully ascertained.

Consideration of the proposal to erect Walls on "Possession Point," so as to convert it into a Recreation Ground for the Chinese, is resumed; and it appearing from an Estimate which His Excellency lays on the Table, that to enclose the spot with an open Iron Rail would cost $5,500,-an expen- diture which His Excellency is not disposed to recommend, the Council agrees to vote a sum not exceeding $950 for the erection of Walls as originally intended.

Discussion upon the proposed construction of a Market at Shau-ki W?n is then resumed; and after a lengthened debate upon the system of Markets in the Colony,-it is resolved, (the Acting Treasurer, and Mr. RYRIE dissenting), that a sum not exceeding $2,200 be voted for the erec- tion of a Market at Shau-ki W?n.

Read and considered a Petition, of the 13th May, from CHEONG-ALUM, the late Porter at the Govern- ment Offices, praying that his Pension may be commuted into a gratuity on the ground of his declining age, and his anxious wish to provide for his family before his death.

Debate ensues-

After which, it is resolved, (Mr. RYRIE dissenting), that a gratuity of $630 be paid to CHEONG-ALUM in lieu of the Pension previously sanctioned.

An Estimate is submitted for the construction of Servants' Quarters at the Sanatarium on Victoria Peak,

amounting to $350,-which sum is voted by the Council.

any Defendant or Prisoner against whom an Information has been filed, by an Order of the Court, to cause such Special Jury to be summoned for the Trial of any Case: Provided that such written Notice be served, or such Application made at least Four full Days before the Day on which such Trial is to take place.

Amendment of Section 23 of

Ordinance No. 11 of 1864.

IV. Section II of Ordinance No. 7 of 1868 and Section XXII of Ordinance No. 11 of 1864 are hereby repealed, and the Words following shall be substituted for such last mentioned Section, and shall henceforth be read as if the same had been originally inserted therein:- "After the Jury in any Case shall have been sworn, or charged with any Prisoner, they shall be kept in some convenient Place in Court apart by themselves, Retirement of individual Jurors for personal Purposes only excepted, and then in Charge of an Officer of the Court, until the Chief Justice or other presiding Judge has summed up the Evidence, and has left the Case with the Jury: Provided that in Case and as often as the Court shall adjourn before the Case shall have been so left with the Jury, then such Jury may as often as the Court shall direct be removed in Charge of an Officer of the Court to some convenient Place there to take Refreshment and Rest until the Court shall reassemble; and such Officer shall be sworn that he will suffer none save himself to speak to or to communicate with them without the express Leave of the Court.

If after the Case shall have been so left to the Jury, and such Jury shall desire to withdraw for the Purpose of considering their Verdict, then they shall be kept by such Officer of the Court in some convenient Place apart by themselves, with Power to retire alone only for personal Purposes, until they are agreed upon their Verdict, or be discharged therefrom by the Court; and the Officer shall be sworn that he will suffer none to have Access to them, or speak to them, and that he will not speak to them himself except to ask whether they are agreed upon their Verdict or to communicate between them and the Court: Provided always that it shall be in the Discretion of the Court in all Cases to dispense with any of the foregoing Provisions."

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.

A CHINESE AND ENGLISH DICTIONARY,

BY

THE RAVD. 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.

A CHINESE AND ENGLISH DICTIONARY,

BY

THE RAVD. W. LOBSCHEID.

THE THE above work, which has been chiefly com- piled for the purpose of aiding students in 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.

The following Decision of the Marine Court of Inquiry into the loss of the British steamer Sunshine, Official Number 45,662, off Breaker Point, is published for general information.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 23rd August, 1872.

FINDING OF THE COURT.

CECIL C. SMITH, Acting Colonial Secretary.

1st. That the British Steamer Sunshine, Official Number 45,662, of Glasgow, whilst on her voyage from Hongkong to Swatow, was on the 12th instant totally lost on the inner side of Flat Reef just Westward of Breaker Point.--China, Sheet III.

2nd. That the loss of the Sunshine is due to carelessness and want of skill on the part of the Master, JOHN TAYLOR, who, navigating a Coast having well known dangers on it, neglected the use of the lead to ascertain his distance off shore.

　　　The Court regrets that it has to call attention to the observations made at a Marine Court held on the 31st May last, when it remarked on the careless manner in which some of the Ships on the China Coast are navigated.

　　　In the instance of the Sunshine, the use of the lead, the only ready means the Master had of determining his position, was ignored, and a valuable ship was lost.-One cast of the lead in time would have saved her.

　　　The Court, taking all the circumstances of the case into consideration, do hereby suspend the Certificate of Competency (No. 8,726) of JOHN TAYLOR, for Nine Months from this date.

Given under our hands at Hongkong, this 22nd Day of August, 1872.

Approved and confirmed,

Governor and Commander-in-Chief.

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.

VOTES AND PROCEEDINGS OF THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL OF HONGKONG.

No. 8 or 1872.

TUESDAY, 23RD JULY, 1872.

PRESENT:

　His Excellency Governor SIR ARTHUR Edward KENNEDY, K.C.M.G., C.B. The Honorable the Acting Chief Justice (HENRY JOHN BALL).

The Honorable the Acting Colonial Secretary (CECIL CLEMENTI SMITH). The Honorable the Acting Attorney General (THOMAS CHILD HAYLLAR). The Honorable the Acting Treasurer (CHARLES MAY).

The Honorable PHINEAS RYRIE.

The Honorable HENRY Lowcock.

The Honorable JAMES GREIG.

The Honorable WILLIAM HASTINGS ALEXANDER.

The Honorable JAMES WHITTALL.

The Council meets this day at 3 P.M., pursuant to adjournment.

The Minutes of the Council held on the 9th July, are read and confirmed.

?

His Excellency lays on the Table the Report of the Commission which was appointed by Governor SIR RICHARD GRAVES MACDONNELL, on the 22nd December, 1871, to institute enquiries into the Efficiency and Organization of the Police Force, and the Prevention of Crime in this Colony. This Report bears date the 27th June, 1872, and reached His Excellency on the 12th July now instant.

The Honorable the Acting Colonial Secretary, by direction of His Excellency, submits the Rules for the guidance of the Finance Committee, which were read at the last Meeting,—and the same are approved.

They are as follows:---

Rules for the Finance Committee of the Legislative Council.

1. That a Finance Committee, open to all Members, be constituted.

2. That three Members shall form a Quorum at each Meeting, when the Senior

Member present shall preside.

3. That the Committee shall assemble at such times as they may be summoned for

the despatch of business.

4. That the Committee shall have power to entertain such financial questions only as

may be submitted for consideration by the Governor.

The Honorable PHINEAS RYRIE, in accordance with the notice given at the last Meeting, asks His Excellency if there is any objection to lay before the Council the Instructions of the Secretary of State, regarding the disposal of the Special Fund. The Honorable Member further requests, that a Statement be laid on the Table showing the Sums expended from that Fund, besides those which have appeared in Documents already published.

His Excellency replies:-"The Instructions of the Secretary of State regarding the disposal of the Special Fund, are conveyed in Despatches which I am not at liberty to lay before the Council. I may, however, inform the Council that on the return of SIR RICHARD MACDONNELL in

386

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 7TH SEPTEMBER, 1872.

December last, he was authorized to devote a portion of the Fund to an endowment of the Chinese Hospital. The grant made by the Governor of $100,000 was in accordance with his instructions, and has met with the subsequent approval of the Secretary of State.

"Regarding the remainder of the Fund, it was directed to be applied to meet the expenses 'caused by the increased Police Force, or other purposes directly connected with the prevention ' of Crime.' And when the immediate expenses connected with the augmentation of the Police Force had been provided for, it was ordered that the residue should be invested so as to produce an Annual Sum applicable to the purposes indicated.

"The Half-yearly Statements of the Special Fund Account now before the Council exhibit the Payments which have been made, and except as regards Two items of a very late date, there has been no Expenditure unsanctioned by the Secretary of State.

"The amount invested is $420,000."

The Honorable JAMES WHITTALL, in pursuance of notice, asks His Excellency-"Under what circumstances it came about, that the Plans of the Hongkong Pier Company, Limited, were signed by SIR RICHARD GRAVES MACDONNELL, when so opposed to the recommendations of the Special Committee appointed to report on the matter, and in accordance with which Report it was understood the Council entirely concurred in passing the Ordinance sanctioning the

formation of the Pier."

His Excellency replies:-"Without reference to SIR RICHARD MACDONNELL, it is impossible to state, with any degree of accuracy, the circumstances under which the Plans of the Pier Company were signed. The Records contain no details on the subject; but from enquiries instituted, there is reason to believe that the approval of the Executive Council was given under a misapprehension. Being of opinion, however, that the openings in the Pier were insufficient as to width, the Company were communicated with after the Plan had been signed, in order that, if possible, an alteration in accordance with the understood recommendation of the Committee of the Legislative Council might be effected. They agreed, after much corre- spondence, to make the outer opening of 36 feet in width; and, under legal advice, the Government felt bound, after what had occurred, to place no further obstacles to the progress of the Works."

Whereupon, the Honorable JAMES WHITTALL begs that leave be given him to introduce a Bill

66 to amend Ordinance No. 11 of 1871."

The Honorable the Acting Colonial Secretary, by Command of His Excellency, submits a Statement of the Expenditure incurred by the Police Commission in Advertising, Printing, and other Petty Expenses, amounting to $205.28; as also a Memorandum from Governor SIR RICHARD MACDONNELL, of the 9th April, 1872, recording his willingness to sanction an Honorarium of $500 to Mr. LISTER, the Secretary of the Commission.

The Acting Colonial Secretary then reads a Letter, of the 3rd January, 1872, from Mr. STEWART, Inspector of Government Schools, representing the great necessity which exists for a new School House at Wanchai, and states that Tenders having been invited for the erection of a Building affording the requisite accommodation, the lowest Tender received amounted to $3,770.

His Excellency then moves that the following Items be placed on the Supplementary Estimates for

1872:-

Advertising, Printing, and other Petty Expenses, Remuneration to the Secretary,.

　　The following Report of the Special Committee of the Legislative Council appointed to examine and report upon the Bill to regulate the Manufacture, Importation and Storage of Explosive Substances, which was read a second time on the 23rd July last, is, together with the amended Bill annexed thereto, published for general information.

By Command,

Explosive Substances Ordinance.

L. D'ALMADA E CASTRO, Clerk of Councils.

　　The Committee appointed by Your Excellency to consider and report upon the Ordinance for regulating the Manufacture, Importation and Storage of Explosive Substances, has thought it better to substitute for the short Ordinance read a second time on the 23rd July last, one of a more specific character.

　　This Ordinance has been framed on two Acts of the Imperial Legislature, namely, 29 and 30 Victoria, Cap. 69, and 34 and 35 Victoria, Cap. 105. The provisions of these Acts have been as closely adhered to as their applicability permitted.

　　It will be observed that in this Ordinance the Committee have said nothing about the "Manufacture” of Explosive Substances, but they have extended the provisions of the Ordinance to Ordinances No. 1 of 1848 and No. 4 of 1867, and they would recommend that the 18th Section should be amended by the addition that No. 1 of 1848 should be construed with this Ordinance and be taken for all purposes as one Ordinance.

With these observations, I beg, on the part of the Committee, to hand to Your Excellency the Draft Ordinance.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 3rd September, 1872.

HONGKONG CADETSHIPS.

CECIL C. SMITH, Acting Colonial Secretary.

With a view to supply the Civil Service in Hongkong, Cadetships have been established, the holders of which are required to devote themselves for a certain time after their arrival in the Colony to learning Chinese.

1st. The Cadets are appointed after a competitive examination by the Civil Service Commissioners, from amongst Candidates nominated for this purpose by the Secretary of State.

The Examinations for these Appointments are not held at fixed periods of time, but upon

the occurrence of vacancies in the Civil Service of Hongkong.

Applications for Nominations by the Secretary of State, proceeding from persons of whom he has no direct knowledge, should be accompanied by recommendations from persons known to him, or occupying positions of professional or other distinction.

2nd. Each Candidate shall be between the ages of 20 and 23.

3rd. The heads of examination are as follows:-

A. Obligatory.

1st. Exercises designed to test Handwriting and Orthography.

2nd. Arithmetic, including Vulgar and Decimal Fractions.

3rd. Latin, and one of the following languages:-Greek, French, German, Italian. 4th. English Composition, including Pr?cis Writing.

5th. Pure and Mixed Mathematics.

B. Optional.

6th. Ancient or Modern History, and Geography.

7th. The Elements of Constitutional and International Law, and Political Economy. 8th. Geology, Civil Engineering, and Surveying.

　　Every Candidate must show a competent knowledge of the first four Subjects, and may select any two of the Optional Subjects.

　　4th. Each Cadet will receive a salary of $960 (about ?200) per annum; half-salary to commence from the day of leaving England, and full salary from the date of his arrival in the Colony. The cost of his passage to the Colony will be paid, subject to the repayment hereafter mentioned (Secs. 8, 9).

5th. On the arrival of the Cadet in Hongkong he will apply himself specially to learning Chinese. 6th. While thus studying, he will be under the control and supervision of the Governor of the Colony, who will frame regulations for his hours of study and general government. Quarters, books, and teachers will be provided for him at the public expense, and he will be required to attend at the Public Offices two hours daily, in order to give him an opportunity of learning the details of public business, without interfering with his reading.

　　7th. As soon as he is declared by a Board of Examiners to have acquired a competent knowledge of Chinese, he will be appointed a Government Interpreter, and will be temporarily employed in such of the Departments as may require his services, at a salary of $1,920 (about ?400) per annum, without other allowances. After two years' approved service as Interpreter, the salary will be increased to $2,400 (about ?500); and after three years' service he will be considered eligible by the Secretary of State for promotion to the higher offices in the Civil Service of Hongkong.

　　8th. The progress of the Cadet will be tested by half-yearly examinations, and he will be liable to be dismissed without further pay, if he does not pass his final examination (see Section 7) within three years after his arrival in the Colony, or if, at any time his progress or conduct shall be considered by the Governor and Executive Council to be so unsatisfactory as to render such a course desirable.- The Governor and Council will decide, having regard to the ground of dismissal, whether the Cadet shall be sent home at the public expense, or shall be left to find his own way home, or shall be, in addition, called upon to repay the cost of his passage out.

　　9th. A Bond must be entered into by the Cadet and his friends at home with the Crown Agents for the Colonies to secure the repayment of the cost of the passage out, in the event of his dismissal and of its being decided by the Governor and Executive Council that such repayment shall be enforced-and also in the event of the Cadet within four years from the date of his arrival in Hongkong either quitting the Colony without leave or relinquishing his appointment (except for ill health), together with a further sum of ?50 for each year to repay the Colony the cost of his teaching, up to his leaving.

BY

THE RAVD. W. LOBSCHEID.

HE above work, which has been chiefly com- piled for the purpose of aiding students in 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.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.

CECIL C. SMITH, Acting Colonial Secretary.

The following Report of the Special Committee of the Legislative Council appointed to examine and report upon the Bill to regulate the Manufacture, Importation and Storage of Explosive Substances, which was read a second time on the 23rd July last, is, together with the amended Bill annexed thereto, published for general information.

Explosive Substances Ordinance.

L. D'ALMADA E CASTRO, Clerk of Councils.

The Committee appointed by Your Excellency to consider and report upon the Ordinance for regulating the Manufacture, Importation and Storage of Explosive Substances, has thought it better to substitute for the short Ordinance read a second time on the 23rd July last, one of a more specific character.

This Ordinance has been framed on two Acts of the Imperial Legislature, namely, 29 and 30 Victoria, Cap. 69, and 34 and 35 Victoria, Cap. 105. The provisions of these Acts have been as closely adhered to as their applicability permitted.

　　　It will be observed that in this Ordinance the Committee have said nothing about the "Manufacture" of Explosive Substances, but they have extended the provisions of the Ordinance to Ordinances No. 1 of 1848 and No. 4 of 1867, and they would recommend that the 18th Section should be amended by the addition that No. 1 of 1848 should be construed with this Ordinance and be taken for all purposes as one Ordinance.

With these observations, I beg, on the part of the Committee, to hand to Your Excellency the Draft Ordinance.

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 Honorable JAMES GREIG.

The Honorable WILLIAM HASTINGS ALEXANDER.

The Honorable JAMES WHITTALL.

ABSENT:

The Honorable the Acting Chief Justice (HENRY JOHN BALL), absent on leave.

The Council meets this day at 3 P.M., by Special Summons.

The Minutes of the Council held on the 23rd July, are read and confirmed.

Read a Despatch from the Right Honorable the Secretary of State for the Colonies, No. 93 of the 11th July, notifying by the Queen's Command, that their Serene Highnesses Prince PHILIP and Prince AUGUSTUS (junior) of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, Cousins of Her Majesty, propose to visit Hongkong.

The Honorable the Acting Attorney General, Chairman of the Special Committee appointed to examine and report upon the Explosive Substances Bill, brings up their Report, and the same is read and received.

The Report is as follows:-

66

The Committee appointed by Your Excellency to consider and report upon the Ordinance for regulating the Manufacture, Importation and Storage of Explosive Substances, has thought it better to substitute for the short Ordinance read a second time on the 23rd July last, one of a more specific character.

"This Ordinance has been framed on two Acts of the Imperial Legislature, namely, 29 and 30 Victoria, Cap. 69, and 34 and 35 Victoria, Cap. 105. The provisions of these Acts have been as closely adhered to as their applicability permitted.

"It will be observed that in this Ordinance the Committee have said nothing about the 'Manufacture' of Explosive Substances, but they have extended the provisions of the Ordinance to Ordinances No. 1 of 1848 and No. 4 of 1867, and they would recommend that the 18th Section should be amended by the addition that No. 1 of 1848 should be construed with this Ordinance and be taken for all purposes as one Ordinance.

"With these observations, I beg, on the part of the

Excellency the Draft Ordinance.

Committee, to hand to Your

"THOS. C. HAYLLAR,

"for the Committee. "5th September, 1872.”

It is then resolved, that the above Report, together with the amended Bill submitted by the Special Committee, be published in the Government Gazette for general information.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 21ST SEPTEMBER, 1872.

The Honorable the Acting Attorney General, Chairman of the Special Committee on the Bill for the Licensing and better Regulation of the Business of Brokers, brings up the Committee's Report, and the same is read and received.

The Report is as follows:-

4

Report of the Select Committee of the Legislative Council upon "The Brokers'

Ordinance, 1872."

"The Committee having fully considered this Ordinance in its various bearings, and taken such evidence on the subject as they thought sufficient, have now the honor to report as follows:-

"1. The feeling of the general body of European Brokers practising in this Colony is altogether opposed to the Ordinance. Their collective opinion is expressed in the memorandum appended to this Report, which is so numerously and respectably signed as to be entitled to much weight.

"2. The Committee recognize much force in the objections urged by the signataries of that document, especially in those which arise from the difficulty of applying the Ordinance to the Chinese.

"3. The Ordinance with certain modifications is regarded favorably by the majority of the Brokers who confine their business solely to operations in Bills and Bullion. The views of these gentlemen were conveyed to the Committee by Mr. Coxon, who on behalf of those he represented considered that an Ordinance on this subject would be greatly to the benefit of the Community at large. He, however, pointed out that the proposed Ordinance does not interest or affect Exchange Brokers in any way. "4. The Committee, therefore, doubt the advisability of pressing legislation against their wish upon a class whose co-operation is in a great measure essential to its successful working.

"5. The Committee have been given to understand on good authority that there is a very general desire on the part of the Brokers to incorporate themselves, and that efforts have been lately directed towards the formation of an Association with certain powers of regulation over its members. It is believed that with the assistance of the Legislature in giving legal force to their Bye laws, and with the co-operation of the merchants and bankers, such an association could be successfully formed and carried into effect.

"6. The Committee are fully of opinion that the object of the Government in initiating the present measure would be far better fulfilled by means of such an association than through the instrumentality of an Ordinance.

"They, therefore, recommend the postponement of any legislation on the subject, in order to give the Brokers time and opportunity to form such an association as they have in view.

"THOMAS C. HAYLLAR. "HENRY LOWCOCK. "JAMES GREIG."

His Excellency moves that the recommendation of the Special Committee be entertained, and that Legislation for the Regulation of the Business of Brokers be for the present postponed. Question put, and carried.

His Excellency lays on the Table the Appropriation Bill for 1873, and says:-

"In laying before you the Estimates of Revenue and Expenditure for the Year 1873, which will be read to you and explained in detail by the Honorable the Acting Colonial Secretary, I have only to observe that they have been prepared with all the care I could bestow upon them.

"There are various objects for legitimate outlay, which may probably be submitted to you at a later period of the Year, if the state of the Colonial Finances is found to justify it.

"Meanwhile, it affords me great satisfaction to inform you that the Colonial Revenue is in a healthy and progressive condition, and will, I am very confident, suffice to meet the estimated Expenditure, leaving a reasonable surplus at the end of the Year."

The Honorable the Acting Colonial Secretary then enters into details regarding the Estimates, and brings under the notice of the Council particular items of the proposed Expen- diture, and anticipated Revenue of 1873.

After which, the Appropriation Bill on the Table is read a first time.

Read a Despatch from the Right Honorable the Secretary of State for the Colonies, No. 89 of the 27th June, 1872, conveying Her Majesty's Confirmation of Ordinance No. 2 of 1872, for the

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 21ST SEPTEMBER, 1872. 413

His Excellency states that it has been found more convenient, in order to avoid confusion, to repeal Ordinance No. 2 of 1872, and to re-enact it with the Amendments pointed out by the Secretary of State. His Excellency then lays on the Table a Bill so prepared, and moves that the same be read a first time.

Bill read a first time; and on the motion of the Acting Colonial Secretary, seconded by the Acting Attorney General, the Council agreeing to a suspension of the Standing Orders,-the Bill is read a second time, committed, and passed,-bearing the Title of "An Ordinance enacted by the Governor of Hongkong, with the Advice of the Legislative Council thereof, to prevent certain Nuisances,"-being "No. 10 of 1872."

His Excellency lays on the Table certain additional Rules and Orders of the 20th August, 1872, for regulating the Practice of the Court of Summary Jurisdiction, and directs that the same be brought forward for approval at the next Meeting of the Council.

His Excellency moves that there be placed on the Supplementary Estimates for 1872, the following

66

The Honorable PHINEAS RYRIE puts the following Question, which he had handed in after the last Meeting of Council!" Whether His Excellency has any objection to furnish the Council with some explanation regarding the resignation of Dr. YOUNG, there being a report in the Colony, "that this Officer, (who is acknowledged to have been a most useful and zealous public Servant,) "has been harshly dealt with, and in consequence compelled to send in his resignation." His Excellency in replying to the Honorable Member, draws attention to the distinction between the functions of the Members of the Legislative Council and those of the Executive Government; and having stated that in his opinion no Member was justified in bringing before the Council any matter based merely on "a report," His Excellency declines to answer the Question. Read, amended and passed, the Rules and Orders for regulating the Practice of the Court of Summary Jurisdiction as framed by the Honorable THOMAS CHILD HAYLLAR, Acting Judge of the said Court, on the 20th August, 1872.

THE QUEEN'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY IN COUNCIL.

　　　WHEREAS by an Act of Parliament made and passed in the Session of Parliament holden in the thirty-third and thirty-fourth years of the reign of Her present Majesty, intituled "An Act for Amending the Law relating to the Extradition of Criminals," it was amongst other things enacted, that where an arrangement has been made with any foreign State with respect to the surrender to such State of any fugitive criminals, Her Majesty may, by Order in Council, direct that the said Act shall apply in the case of such foreign State; and that Her Majesty may, by the same or any subsequent Order, limit the operation of the Order, and restrict the same to fugitive criminals who are in or suspected of being in the part of Her Majesty's dominions specified in the Order, and render the operation thereof subject to such conditions, exceptions, and qualifications as may be deemed expedient:

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 21st SEPTEMBER, 1872.

　　If the person claimed on the part of the Government of the United Kingdom, or if the person claimed on the part of any of the Govern- ments of the German Empire, should be under examination for any other crime in one of the States of the German Empire, or in the United Kingdom, respectively, his extradition shall be deferred until the conclusion of the trial, and the full execution of any punishment awarded to him.

ARTICLE V.

　　The extradition shall not take place if, sub- sequently to the commission of the crime, or the institution of the penal prosecution, or the con- viction thereon, exemption from prosecution or punishment has been acquired by lapse of time, according to the laws of the State applied to.

ARTICLE VI.

　　A fugitive criminal shall not be surrendered if the offence in respect of which his surrender is demanded is one of a political character, or if he prove that the requisition for his surrender has in fact been made with a view to try or punish him for an offence of a political character.

ARTICLE VII.

　　A person surrendered can in no case be kept in prison, or be brought to trial in the State to which the surrender has been made, for any other crime or on account of any other matters than those for which the extradition shall have taken place.

This stipulation does not apply to crimes com- mitted after the extradition.

ARTICLE VIII.

The requisition for extradition shall be made through the Diplomatic Agents of the High Con- tracting Parties, respectively.

The requisition for the extradition of an accused person must be accompanied by a warrant of arrest issued by the competent authority of the State requiring the extradition, and by such evidence as, according to the laws of the place where the accused is found, would justify his arrest if the crime had been committed there.

If the requisition relates to a person already convicted, it must be accompanied by the sentence of condemnation passed against the convicted person by the competent Court of the State that makes the requisition for extradition.

A requisition for extradition cannot be founded on sentences passed in contumaciam.

Wenn die von einer Regierung des Deutschen Reichs verfolgte Person im Vereinigten K?ni- greich, oder wenn die Seitens der Regierung des Vereinigten K?nigreichs verfolgte Person in einem der Staaten des Deutschen Reichs wegen einer anderen strafbaren Handlung in Unter- suchung ist, so soll ihre Auslieferung bis zur Beendigung dieser Untersuchung und vollendeter Vollstreckung der etwa gegen sie erkannten Strafe aufgeschoben werden.

ARTIKEL V.

Die Auslieferung soll nicht stattfinden, wenn seit der begangenen strafbaren Handlung, oder der Einleitung der strafgerichtlichen Verfolgung, oder der erfolgten Verurtheilung nach den Gesetzen des ersuchten Staats Verj?hrung der strafgerichtlichen Verfolgung oder der erkannten Strafe eingetreten ist.

ARTIKEL VI.

Ein fl?chtiger Verbrecher soll nicht ausgeliefert werden, wenn die strafbare Handlung, wegen deren seine Auslieferung verlangt, wird, einen politischen Character an sich tr?gt, oder wenn er beweisen kann, dass der Antrag auf seine Auslieferung in Wirklichkeit mit der Absicht gestellt worden ist, ihn wegen eines Verbrechens oder Vergehens politischer Natur zu verfolgen oder zu bestrafen.

ARTIKEL VII.

Die ausgelieferte Person darf in dem Staate, an welchen die Auslieferung erfolgt ist, keinenfalls wegen einer anderen strafbaren Handlung oder auf Grund anderer Thatsachen, als derjenigen, wegen deren die Auslieferung erfolgt ist, in Haft gehalten oder zur Untersuchung gezogen werden.

Auf strafbare Handlungen, welche nach erfolg- ter Auslieferung ver?bt sind, findet diese Bestim- mung

keine Anwendung.

ARTIKEL VIII.

Die Antr?ge auf Auslieferung sollen durch die diplomatischen Agenten der hohen vertragenden Theile gestellt werden.

Mit dem Antrage auf Auslieferung eines Beschuldigten m?ssen ein Haftbefehl, welcher von der zust?ndigen Beh?rde des die Auslieferung begehrenden Staates erlassen ist, und solche Beweise beigebracht werden, welche nach den Gesetzen des Ortes, wo der Beschuldigte aufgefunden wird, dessen Verhaftung rechtfertigen w?rden, wenn die strafbare Handlung dort begangen w?re.

Betrifft der Antrag eine bereits verurtheilte Person, so muss das Straf-Urtheil beigebracht werden, welches von dem zust?ndigen Gericht des die Auslieferung begehrenden Staates gegen den Verurtheilten erlassen ist.

Auf Straf-Urtheile, welche von Ungehorsams wegen (in contumaciam) erlassen sind, kann der Auslieferungs-Antrag nicht gegr?ndet werden.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 21ST SEPTEMBER, 1872. 421

ARTICLE IX.

If the requisition for extradition be in accordance with the foregoing stipulations, the competent authorities of the State applied to shall proceed to the arrest of the fugitive.

The prisoner is then to be brought before a competent Magistrate, who is to examine him and to conduct the preliminary investigation of the case, just as if the apprehension had taken place for a crime committed in the same country.

ARTICLE X.

?

The extradition shall not take place before the expiration of fifteen days from the apprehension, and then only if the evidence be found sufficient, according to the laws of the State applied to, either to justify the committal of the prisoner for trial, in case the crime had been committed in the ter- ritory of the said State, or to prove that the prisoner is the identical person convicted by the Courts of the State which makes the requisition.

ARTICLE XI.

In the examinations which they have to make in accordance with the foregoing stipulations, the authorities of the State applied to shall admit as entirely valid evidence the sworn depositions or statements of witnesses taken in the other State, or copies thereof, and likewise the warrants and sentences issued therein, provided such documents are signed or certified by a Judge, Magistrate, or Officer of such State, and are authenticated by the oath of some witness, or by being sealed with official seal of the Minister of Justice, or some other Minister of State.

ARTICLE XII.

If sufficient evidence for the extradition be not produced within two months from the date of the apprehension of the fugitive, he shall be set at liberty.

ARTICLE XIII.

All articles seized, which were in the possession of the person to be surrendered at the time of his apprehension, shall, if the competent authority of the State applied to for the extradition has ordered the delivery thereof, be given up when the extra- dition takes place; and the said delivery shall extend not merely to the stolen articles, but to everything that may serve as a proof of the crime.

ARTICLE XIV.

The High Contracting Parties renounce any claim for the reimbursement of the expenses incurred by them in the arrest and maintenance of the person to be surrendered, and his conveyance till placed on board ship; they reciprocally agree to bear such expenses themselves.

ARTIKEL IX.

Wenn das Auslieferungsgesuch nach den vorstehenden Bestimmungen begr?ndet ist, so sollen die zust?ndigen Beh?rden des ersuchten Staates zur Festnahme des Fl?chtlings schreiten.

Der Ergriffene wird sodann vor den dazu gesetzlich berufenen richterlichen Beamten gebracht, welcher ihn ebenso zu verh?ren und den Straffall vorl?ufig zu untersuchen hat, als wenn die Ergreifung wegen einer im Inlande begangenen strafbaren Handlung erfolgt w?re.

ARTIKEL X.

Die Auslieferung erfolgt nicht vor Ablauf von f?nfzehn Tagen seit der Ergreifung und nur dann, wenn die Beweise f?r gen?gend befunden worden sind, um nach den Gesetzen des ersuchten Staats entweder die Verweisung des Ergriffenen zur Hauptuntersuchung zu rechtfertigen, falls die strafbare Handlung im Gebiet dieses Staats begangen w?re, oder darzuthun, dass der Ergriffene mit der von den Gerichten des ersuchenden Staats verurtheilten Person identisch ist.

ARTIKEL XI.

Die Beh?rden des ersuchten Staats haben bei der Pr?fung, welche ihnen nach den vorstehenden Bestimmungen obliegt, den beeidigten Zeugen- Aussagen, welche in dem anderen Staate zu Protokoll genommen sind, imgleichen den Abschriften solcher Original-Zeugen-Aussagen, und ebenso den Haftbefehlen und Straf-Urtheilen volle Beweiskraft beizulegen, vorausgesetzt, dass diese Schriftst?cke durch einen Richter, eine obrigkeitliche Person oder einen anderen Beamten dieses Staates unterzeichnet oder bescheinigt und durch einen Zeugen oder durch Beidr?ckung des Aintssiegels des Justiz- oder eines anderen Staats- ministers beglaubigt sind.

ARTIKEL XII.

Wenn die zur Auslieferung gen?genden Beweise nicht binnen zwei Monaten von dem Tage der Ergreifung des Fl?chtigen an beigebracht werden, so ist der Ergriffene auf freien Fuss zu setzen.

ARTIKEL XIII.

Alle in Beschlag genommenen Gegenst?nde, welche sich zur Zeit der Ergreifung im Besitze des Auszuliefernden befinden, sollen, wenn die zust?ndige Beh?rde des um die Auslie- ferung ersuchten Staats die Ausantwortung derselben angeordnet hat, bei Vollziehung der Auslieferung mit ?bergeben werden, und es soll sich diese Ueberlieferung nicht blos auf die entfremdeten Gegenst?nde, sondern auf Alles erstrecken, was zuin Beweise der strafbaren Handlung dienen kann.

ARTIKEL XIV.

Die hohen vertragenden Theile verzichten darauf, die Erstattung derjenigen Kosten, welche ihnen aus der Festnahme und dem Unterhalt des Auszuliefernden und seinem Transport bis zur Einschiffung erwachsen, in Anspruch zu nehmen, willigen vielmehr gegenseitig darin, diese Kosten selbst zu tragen.

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.

BY

THE RnvD. W. LOBSCHEID.

HE above work, which has been chiefly com- piled for the purpose of aiding students in 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.

A CHINESE AND ENGLISH DICTIONARY,

BY

THE RavD. W. LOBSCHEID.

THE above work, which has been chiefly com-

piled for the purpose of aiding students in 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.

PRICE $8 per Copy.

DICTIONARY,

BY

THE RnvD. W. LOBSCHEID.

THE above work, which has been chiefly com- piled for the purpose of aiding students in 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.

THE above work, which has been chiefly com- piled for the purpose of aiding students in 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

THE RnVD. W. LOBSCHEID.

THE above work, which has been chiefly com- piled for the purpose of aiding students in 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.

A CHINESE AND ENGLISH DICTIONARY,

BY

THE RAVD. W. LOBSCHEID.

THE above work, which has been chiefly com- THE

piled for the purpose of aiding students in 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.

PRICE $8 per Copy.

EMIGRATION.

　The following information is supplied to Masters of vessels about to carry Chinese Passengers under the Chinese Passengers' Act, 1855, and Local Ordinances:-

　Imperial Chinese Passengers' Act, 1855,-Declares that any vessel clearing with more than twenty (20) Asiatic Passengers on any voyage of more than seven (7) days' duration is a Chinese Passenger Ship.

484 THE HONGKong goverNMENT GAZETTE, 16TH NOVEMBER, 1872.

Proclamations of January 26th, 1856, and of November 17th, 1858,-Declare the length of certain

voyages.

Ordinance No. 11 of 1857,-Provides that no Chinese Passenger proceeding by a Chinese Passenger Ship shall be provided with a Passage Ticket except through the medium of a Licensed Passage Broker.

　　Ordinance No. 6 of 1859,-Provides for the Hospital accommodation of Chinese Passenger Ships and permits the space appropriated for the Hospital to be included in the measurement of the capacity for Passengers.

The Hospital is to be provided with bed places, proper beds, bedding and utensils.

　　The Passengers and Crew are to be examined by a Medical Practitioner (changed to Medical Officer by Ordinance No. 12 of 1868), a fee at the rate of twenty-five ($25) dollars being paid for every hundred persons so examined.

Ordinance No. 12 of 1868,-Makes provision for Dep?ts in which Chinese Passengers shall, unless exempted therefrom by the Emigration Officer, lodge three days.

It appoints a Medical Officer to inspect Emigrants.

It makes any Chinese Medical Practitioner, who is properly qualified to the satisfaction of the Colonial Surgeon, eligible, with the approval of the Governor, for the Office of Surgeon of a Chinese Passenger Ship within the terms of Schedule A of the Chinese Passengers' Act, 1855.

　　It prohibits Sailing Passenger Ships bound to any Port westward of the Cape of Good Hope leaving any Port in the Colony between the months of May and September inclusive.

Government Notification No. 52 of 6th May, 1869,-Directs that no Chinese Doctor shall take charge of a Chinese Passenger Ship, unless he has previously procured an approved Certificate; first as to his personal competency, and secondly as to the sufficiency of the Chinese Medicines he proposes to supply for the voyage.

Ordinance No. 4 of 1870,-Provides that no Chinese Passenger Ship'shall proceed to sea without a License from the Governor, but it also permits His Excellency to grant exemption from the operation of this Ordinance, provided the Passengers proceeding shall be Free Emigrants and under no Contract of Service whatever.

Ordinance No. 8 of 1871,-Was introduced in order to give vessels, bound on voyages likely to occupy a less time than thirty (30) days, the privilege of conveying more Passengers than they can carry under the Imperial Act. The space appropriated to each Emigrant under this Ordinance is reduced from 12 to 9 superficial feet.

The Emigration Officer may allow such ships to carry Deck Passengers if he shall think proper. The Diet is simplified, and Passengers are allowed to provide their own provisions. These vessels are not compelled to carry Surgeons.

　　　Government Notification No. 107 of 17th May, 1872,-Prohibits Sailing Chinese Passenger Ships leaving Hongkong for the Australian Colonies, from the months of April to September inclusive.

Emigration under Contracts of Service is prohibited, unless the Emigrants shall be proceeding to British Colonies.

The Emigration Officer holds the Master of a Passenger Ship answerable for compliance with his requirements.

　　　When a ship has been chartered for the conveyance of Chinese Passengers, the Master is to notify the Emigration Officer, in writing, to that effect, naming the Licensed Passage Broker authorised to issue Passage Tickets, and forwarding at the same time a copy of the Government Surveyor's Certificate of measurement.

　　　The vessel will then be inspected by the Emigration Officer, who will pass or reject her as he shall see fit.

　　　If the vessel is passed, the Agent or Charterer will make the usual application for a License, on a form to be obtained at this office, and if granted, the Master with two approved sureties must attend at the Emigration Office and execute the Bond required under Section 4 of the Chinese Passengers' Act.

　　　The ship is then to be fitted with such berths, booby hatches, ladders, hospital, privies, &c., as may be directed by the Emigration Officer.

　　　If the vessel is to carry Female Passengers, a place separated from the Male Passengers must be appropriated to their use, conveniences for them being placed aft.

Between the bunks of married couples, there must be a division board not less than 22 inches high.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 16TH NOVEMBER, 1872. 485

When the provisions are taken in, they must not be stowed away without the sanction of the Emigration Officer, who will not pass, (in vessels about to proceed on voyages of over thirty (30) days' duration,) any Chinese preserved Beef or Pork; nor Fish cured with their entrails remaining in them.

The water should be taken on board at an early period to admit of the casks taking up.

The Master will make arrangements with his Passage Broker for providing his vessel with properly qualified Surgeons and Interpreters, one of each being required for every Two hundred (200) Passengers, unless an European or American Surgeon is engaged for the voyage, when only one Surgeon is needed.

If the vessel is a Steamer, she must be supplied with such quantity and quality of Coals as the Emigration Officer shall direct, and a certificate must be produced that the Engines and Boilers are in good condition for the contemplated voyage.

If the vessel is fitted with an approved Distilling apparatus, she may carry a reduced quantity of water in casks.

When the provisions are stowed and the ship is ready to receive the Passengers on board, the Passage Broker will bring a written notice to that effect from the Master, when a time will be fixed for the attendance of the Passengers at the Emigration Office to have their Contracts or Passage Tickets (as the case may be) signed, and explained to them by the Emigration Officer.

The Passengers will then embark, and when the Master shall have satisfied himself that they are all on board, he is to report to that effect, when the Emigration Officer will muster the passengers and make a final inspection of the ship.

The papers to be lodged with the Emigration Officer before Clearance will be granted, are:-

1.-Government Surveyor's Certificate of measurement and seaworthiness.

2.---When required, Engineer Surveyor's Certificate as to condition of Boilers and Engines, quantity and quality of Coals on board, description of condensing apparatus and quantity of fresh water it is capable of producing daily.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.

No. 219.

The following Report from the Commissioners appointed to enquire into the Operation of Ordinance No. 2 of 1858, "for licensing and regulating the Sale of prepared Opium," is published for general information.

By Command,

CECIL C. SMITH, Acting Colonial Secretary.

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 18th November, 1872.

REPORT.

The Commission appointed by His Excellency SIR ARTHUR KENNEDY to enquire into the working of the Opium Monopoly, and the Operation of Ordinance No. 2 of 1858, beg now to submit their Report.

Judging from the papers submitted to the Commission, it appeared to them that the most important portion of the enquiry was, if possible, to arrive at the quantity of Opium prepared by the Monopolists themselves, or those holding Licences under them, in the course of a year, so as to ascertain whether a sufficient amount was paid towards the revenue of the Colony, commensurate with the amount of Fees collected by them, allowing them, of course, a fair amount for expenses of conducting and protecting their Monopoly, as well as interest and risk of capital necessary for the undertaking. With this view, the first step taken was to collect, as far as they were obtainable, statistics of the export, in the usual authorised manner of prepared Opium, to California, Australia, New Zealand, Honolulu, and various ports on the West Coast of America, where Chinese are located. These statistics, which appear further on in this Report, do not, in the opinion of the Commission, represent the entire quantity exported, as from information gathered from a number of sources, there can be little doubt, but that very considerable quantities are exported in an unauthorised manner, that is to say, concealed among the baggage of Chinese Passengers, to avoid paying freight in the first instance and with a view afterwards of smuggling into the port to which they may be destined; this more particularly applies to California, as from what the Commission have been able to gather, there is but a small quantity taken in that way for the Australian ports.

The Commission then proceeded to examine witnesses consisting of a Chinese, not interested in the Opium trade, but who had means of obtaining information respecting it; a member of the Chinese firm known as WO-HANG, engaged in the Opium trade, and a former lessee of the Monopoly, three members of the firm or guild at present holding the Monopoly, and three members of different Foreign firms, trading in Opium. The figures obtained from the first named source of information, and the witnesses examined, vary considerably and are given as follows:-

The above statements, with the exception of those of Messrs. SASSOON and AGABEG, differ so widely from each other, that the Commission have come to the conclusion, that it would not be advis- able to accept any one of them as a basis on which to calculate the revenue that ought to be derived from Prepared Opium. Those of Messrs. SASSOON and AGABEG, although so much in excess of the others, are, in the opinion of the Commission, entitled to great consideration, those gentlemen being, of all others in the Colony, perhaps the most intimately connected with the Opium trade. Mr. LINSTEAD'S evidence must also be considered of some weight, he having, for some time past, devoted his attention to the subject. Of the statements by Chinese witnesses, the Commission attach most weight to that made by FAN-A-WYE, as regards the bon? fides of same, although his statistics, for which he has had to depend on other Chinese, may not be correct.

　　　The statement by SEE AHOY, a member of the firm of Monopolists, as regards the export being nine times more than the quantity consumed in the Colony, can hardly be taken as of any statistic value; the evidence given by him was, as a whole, very unsatisfactory,

*

*

*

*

*

　　　The statement of HO LEONG, (Manager of the Yan Wo Hong or Guild which holds the Monopoly) of the quantities boiled in the licensed shops, if correct, does not show a large profit to the Monopolists as compared with the expenses and risk of the undertaking, although the Government should receive these figures with caution, as coming from parties whose interest it is to make them as small as possible; at the same time, the Commission feel bound to state, that HO LEONG gave his evidence in a straightforward manner and with every appearance of candour.

　　　In looking at the statement of LEE ACHING, it must be borne in mind, that he was formerly, and is still believed to be, the opponent in trade of the associated five shops, and it seems rather strange to the Commission that if he believed in the figures he has given, that he did not send in a tender the last time the Monopoly was competed for.

*

*

*

*

*

　　　The Commission are of opinion that the most reliable calculation, would be one based on the relative numbers of Chinese, located in the State of California, and adjacent territories, to those in Australia, taking the quantity of Prepared Opium ascertained to be shipped to the latter as correct, or nearly so, and adding to or diminishing same pro rata, as the number of Chinese in California, &c., may be found to exceed, or fall short, of those in Australia.

　　　The Commission have unfortunately been unable to obtain official or printed statistics of these respective populations, although they have made enquiries in every quarter in the Colony where they were likely to be found, the Executive, however, can doubtless obtain them in course of a few months: in the meantime, judging from the statements made from memory by various gentlemen in the Colony acquainted with the subject, although unable to give precise data, it might be safe to assume, that the Chinese population of California, &c., exceeded that of Australia, by fifty per cent, in which case, the calculation would stand thus:-

To Australia, as per exact statistics obtained,. To California, &c., 50 per cent more than above,

To Portland, Oregon, Honolulu, Dunedin, Tientsin, &c.,

= 1,599 chests, 40 balls each=63,960 balls at $3.80 each,.. Add for home consumption,

Taels 651,600

Taels 1,679,000

977,400 50,000

$243,048 22,884

$265,932

498

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 23RD NOVEMBER, 1872.

But, to be well within the mark, let the excess be taken as twenty-five per cent, the figures would then stand as follows:-

To Australia,

To California, 25 per cent more than above,....... To Portland, &c.,

.....Taels

651,600 814,500

""

50,000

""

Taels 1,516,100

$219,339.80 22,884.00

Then comes the question, as to whether the entire quantity shipped from this Port to above places, is prepared by the Monopolists; several of the witnesses have stated that Opium is prepared in the Colony clandestinely, and also that it is brought into the Colony, and exported in like manner without paying license fees, but none of them were able to give any data of the quantity. The Commission give it as their opinion, that, allowing for the vigilance of the Monopolists' informers, the quantity cannot be very large. The Commission may, of course, be wrong in this opinion, and in that view, can but suggest, as the only method of arriving at the correct state of affairs, that the Government take the Opium Monopoly into its own hands, and by establishing one or more boiling establishments under its own supervision, making these the only places at which it shall be legal to boil Opium, charging duty by the ball or by the tael after boiling, or both, as may appear most advantageous. By the evidence of one of the witnesses, the cost of this supervision and the staff requisite to prevent illicit boiling would be amply covered by the increased receipts. In the event of such a scheme being tried, the Commission would suggest as a means of detecting illicitly boiled Opium, that a Government stamp should be put upon each tin packed in the boiling house, and a rigid supervision maintained over the shops of retail dealers, also heavier penalties imposed than those fixed by the present Ordinance for illegal boiling or selling.

According to the evidence of the witnesses connected with the Opium Farm, the plan above sketched would not bring in so large a revenue as the present method, but it appears to the Commis- sion that the principal drawback, (which the witnesses also brought prominently forward) would be the uncertainty of the revenue, one month as compared with another, owing to different state of markets at different periods, but they are of opinion that, taking year by year, it would be pretty regular, therefore the objection is not of much value, and that, if the above scheme is adopted and rigorously carried out, the revenue can hardly suffer.

　Should the Government consider the above scheme unadvisable, and decide upon continuing the present system of granting a Monopoly, the Commission would suggest, that it would be more advisable to do so for a period of three years, as it would, in their opinion, bring forward more competitors. According to the present system of letting for short periods, capitalists are deterred from embarking their money in a business from which they may be ousted at the end of perhaps a year, and as more competitors nearly always means higher prices, the Government would, in the opinion of the Commission, receive a larger amount from the Monopoly.

The Opium Monopolist has expressed himself strongly in favor of letting for short periods, stating that he would not like it to be for a long period, giving as his principal reason, that he has heard that a Monopoly for boiling Opium similar to the one existing in this Colony, is about to be established in Australia. The Commission do not, however, attach much weight to this, and think that his real reason for being in favor of short periods is that, he being in possession, has the advantage over any new comer. With reference to the means of disposing of the Monopoly, the Commission would recommend its being put up to Public Auction, giving at least two months' notice of the same in the public journals of the Colony. Should it be decided to adhere to the present system of disposing of the Monopoly by tender, then the Commission would suggest that, after a notice of similar length to that mentioned, the tenders should be opened by a board composed of at least three Government Officers, those tendering having permission to be present if they wished it.

　The Commission do not approve of the scheme proposed by the Wo HANG firm, to have a plurality of Licensees, at an annual fee of $20,000 each, as they think it might lead to a combination which instead of increasing would decrcase the revenue.

　With reference to paragraph 11 in His Excellency's Memo. addressed to Mr. SMITH, the Commission can only state, that in their opinion, every Monopoly must be detrimental to some one, but looking at the fact that the particular Hong making the complaint used the powers given by the Monopoly during its own tenure of same to the detriment of others, it cannot fairly have much to urge against the system.

　As regards the sufficiency of the powers granted under Ordinance No. 2 to the Monopolists for maintaining the integrity of their privilege, the Commission are of opinion that they are ample, and as full as it would be safe to place in the hands of a private Firm. The Monopolist in his evidence stated that he was unable to get a warrant after dark, but this was merely an error on his part; it was clearly pointed out to him that he could obtain a warrant at any hour.

VOL. XVIII.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.

No. 223.

The following Hydrographic Notices, received from the Admiralty, are published for general information.

By Command,

CECIL C. SMITH, Acting Colonial Secretary.

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 28th November, 1872.

The information contained in this notice is to be carefully considered, to be noted in the Sailing Directions, and compared with the chart when the ship is navigating the parts to which it refers.

HYDROGRAPHIC NOTICE.

[ No. 9.]

CHINA PILOT.

NOTICE No. 23.

HAITAN STRAIT.

　The following information relative to a sunken rock in Haitan Strait, upon which the American steam-vessel Suwo-nada struck in January 1872, (the position of which was ascertained by the officers of the United States ship Ashuelot, under the orders of Rear-Admiral John Rodgers,) has been received from the Vice-Admiral Conmanding-in-chief in China, 1872.*

[All Bearings are Magnetic. Variation 1° Westerly in 1872.]

　This sunken danger, which has been named the "Ashuelot Rock," lies nearly in the centre of the southern part of Haitan Strait about 3 cables to the westward of Low Island; it has 10 feet on it at low water springs, and 6 to 71?2 fathoms were found at two boat's lengths from the rock.

From the rock, Low island bears E. & N., Junk Sail rock S.E. by S., and the middle of Pass island S. by W. W.

　The position of this rock narrows the southern part of Haitan strait to 2 cables at low water, and renders this part unsafe at that time of tide for vessels drawing more than 9 or 10 feet.

[This Notice cancels former No. 23, of the same date.]

Hydrographic Office, Admiralty, London, 22nd April 1872.

* See Admiralty Charts :-China, East Coast, sheet V., No. 1761; and Haitan Strait, No. 1985: Also, China Pilot, page 134.

The information contained in this notice is to be carefully considered, to be noted in the Sailing Directions, and compared with the chart

when the ship is navigating the parts to which it refers.

HYDROGRAPHIC NOTICE. [No. 14.]

CHINA SEA DIRECTORY, VOL. II. NOTICE No. 10.

NORTH-WEST COAST OF BORNEO.

　The following account of some outlying shoals on the north-west coast of Borneo has been received from Captain W. Arthur, R.N., of H.M.S. Iron Duke, 1872.*

[All Bearings are Magnetic. Variation 1° 20′ Easterly in 1872.]

　During the passage of H.M.S. Iron Duke from Singapore to Labuan, soundings were obtained in 5 fathoms in latitude 5° 5′ N., longitude 114° 40′ E., about 4 miles N.N.W. of the Bruni patches with the eastern extreme of the Bruni cliffs, bearing S.E. 2 E.

and

　Information was also received from the Captain of a vessel trading between Labuan and Singapore, of a similar patch about 16 miles to the north-east of that found by the Iron Duke, reported to be in latitude 5° 13′ N., and longitude 114° 53′ E. This position was deter- mined from cross bearings of Kuraman island and mount Pisang.

　Commander George Robinson, of H.M.S. Rinaldo also reports, that during the passage from Labuan to Manila, when about 21 miles from the coast of Borneo, the leadsman suddenly got soundings in 7 fathoms decreasing to 5 fathoms, the bottom being distinctly visible and discoloured water seen from the masthead to the northward.

　From this shoal water the west extreme of Gaya island bore S. & E. and the mountain of Kini Balu S.E. by E. § E., the depth of 5 fathoms being in latitude 6o 26′ N., and longitude 115° 56′ E.

GULF OF SIAM- BANGKOK RIVER.

The following information relating to the rivers Bangkok and Tachin at the head of the gulf of Siam has been received from Navi- gating Sub-Lieutenant James S. Barrett, of H.M.S. Teazer, Commander Richard M. Blomfield R.N.

Variation 2° 10′ Easterly.

Me-Nam Chau-Phya or Bongkok River.—The look out house on the west point, and red house in the river given as leading marks have disappeared. The course given from the fishing stakes on Admiralty chart No. 999, is stated by the pilots to be one which would now lead a vessel on shore, the course steered by the pilots is about N.E. & N., instead of N.E. by E., hauling gradually to the northward as soon as the west point bears N.W.

Tachin River. The mouth of this river lies about 20 miles to the westward of the Bangkok river, it was navigated for about 35 miles by H.M.S. Teazer, in November 1871; this river has a similar bar to that of the Bangkok river, but the entrance is more difficult to distinguish, the land in the neighbourhood being low, and covered with trees.

In clear weather the high land of Bang-pasoi brought to bear E. by S., will lead to a position off the bar, which may be crossed on a N.N.W. course. Tachin river has about the same general depth and is of the same general width as Bangkok river.

　　　The Teazer anchored off Maconchisi in latitude 13° 39′ N., and longitude 100° 11′ E., nearly 35 miles from the mouth of the Tachin. At Maconchisi are the new mills of the Indo-chinese Sugar Company, the sugar is at present sent in barges by canal to Bangkok, but it is expected that vessels will shortly navigate the Tachin river as easily as they now do the river Bangkok, whereby an expensive freight will be saved.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.

No. 223.

The following Hydrographic Notices, received from the Admiralty, are published for general information.

By Command,

CECIL C. SMITH, Acting Colonial Secretary.

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 28th November, 1872.

The information contained in this notice is to be carefully considered, to be noted in the Sailing Directions, and compared with the chart when the ship is navigating the parts to which it refers.

NOTICE No. 23.

HAITAN STRAIT.

　The following information relative to a sunken rock in Haitan Strait, upon which the American steam-vessel Suwo-nada struck in January 1872, (the position of which was ascertained by the officers of the United States ship Ashuelot, under the orders of Rear-Admiral John Rodgers,) has been received from the Vice-Admiral Conmanding-in-chief in China, 1872.*

[All Bearings are Magnetic. Variation 1° Westerly in 1872.]

　This sunken danger, which has been named the "Ashuelot Rock," lies nearly in the centre of the southern part of Haitan Strait about 3 cables to the westward of Low Island; it has 10 feet on it at low water springs, and 6 to 71?2 fathoms were found at two boat's lengths from the rock.

From the rock, Low island bears E. & N., Junk Sail rock S.E. by S., and the middle of Pass island S. by W. W.

　The position of this rock narrows the southern part of Haitan strait to 2 cables at low water, and renders this part unsafe at that time of tide for vessels drawing more than 9 or 10 feet.

[This Notice cancels former No. 23, of the same date.]

Hydrographic Office, Admiralty, London, 22nd April 1872.

* See Admiralty Charts :-China, East Coast, sheet V., No. 1761; and Haitan Strait, No. 1985: Also, China Pilot, page 134.

The information contained in this notice is to be carefully considered, to be noted in the Sailing Directions, and compared with the chart

when the ship is navigating the parts to which it refers.

HYDROGRAPHIC NOTICE. [No. 14.]

NORTH-WEST COAST OF BORNEO.

　The following account of some outlying shoals on the north-west coast of Borneo has been received from Captain W. Arthur, R.N., of H.M.S. Iron Duke, 1872.*

[All Bearings are Magnetic. Variation 1° 20′ Easterly in 1872.]

　During the passage of H.M.S. Iron Duke from Singapore to Labuan, soundings were obtained in 5 fathoms in latitude 5° 5′ N., longitude 114° 40′ E., about 4 miles N.N.W. of the Bruni patches with the eastern extreme of the Bruni cliffs, bearing S.E. 2 E.

and

　Information was also received from the Captain of a vessel trading between Labuan and Singapore, of a similar patch about 16 miles to the north-east of that found by the Iron Duke, reported to be in latitude 5° 13′ N., and longitude 114° 53′ E. This position was deter- mined from cross bearings of Kuraman island and mount Pisang.

　Commander George Robinson, of H.M.S. Rinaldo also reports, that during the passage from Labuan to Manila, when about 21 miles from the coast of Borneo, the leadsman suddenly got soundings in 7 fathoms decreasing to 5 fathoms, the bottom being distinctly visible and discoloured water seen from the masthead to the northward.

　From this shoal water the west extreme of Gaya island bore S. & E. and the mountain of Kini Balu S.E. by E. § E., the depth of 5 fathoms being in latitude 6o 26′ N., and longitude 115° 56′ E.

　* See Admiralty Charts:--Borneo, N.W. coast, Nos. 2109, 2110, and 2112; China sea, No. 2660 B; Gulf of Siam, No. 2720; Bangkok river, 999: also, China sea Directory, Vol. II., pages 118, 148, and 318.

A CHINESE AND ENGLISH DICTIONARY,

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 arc 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.

Present:

BYRON BRENAN, Esquire, Acting Interpreter at Her Majesty's Consulate at Canton; Expectant Prefect FANG-KUNG-HWUI, and

YEA-TZ?-CH?N, Keeper of the Customs Treasury.

The Chinese Assayers obtained the following results:

Twenty-eight new Mexican Dollars weighed before being melted, The same after having been melted and refined,

Loss of weight,

From the above it appears that One hundred new Mexican Dollars

weigh

This acknowledged and signed in quintuplicate in English and Chinese, at the British Consulate at Canton, on the 18th of March, 1872.

PROCLAMATION. (Translation.)

Jui, Grand Secretary of the W?n Huatien, President of the Board of War, and Governor General of the Two Kwang Provinces; Chang, Vice-President of the Board of War, and Governor of Kwang-tung; Ch'ung, of the 2nd Official Grade, Superintendent of Customs for the Yueh (Two Kwang) Provinces-

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 7TH DECEMBER, 1872. 517

Issue a Proclamation for general information.

And

Whereas the foreign Silver [coin] in daily use among the people of the Kwang-tung Province has long been in circulation, and is moreover admitted to be advantageous and convenient. Whereas in the 1st moon of the present year (February, 1872), SIR BROOKE RORERTSON, the British Consul, forwarded [specimens of] a new Eagle Dollar transmitted by the Hongkong Treasury; with a request that an Officer might be deputed to assay them; an Officer was accordingly thereupon deputed to melt down and assay this coin in concert [with an Officer from the British Consulate], when, taking the Haikwan Tael of pure Silver as the standard, the outturn was found to be nine-tenths [of a Tael], or the same amount as in the Eagle Dollar hitherto in circulation; one hundred and eleven Taels, one mace, one candareen, of the new Eagle coin, being equivalent to one hundred Haikwan Taels. Minutes [of the assay] were drawn up in proof thereof, and it became the duty of the Viceroy and his colleagues to allow this coin to be tendered in payment of duties, and to sanction its general cir- culation, for the convenience of traders and people. A Proclamation was thereupon issued calling on the people to act accordingly. This is on record.

Having now heard that among the people in the different localities, far and near, there are still some to whom [the existence of this Proclamation] is not known, it is the duty of the Viceroy and his colleagues again to issue a Proclamation.

This Proclamation therefore is to inform you Merchants, Traders, Soldiers, and People, of every District, that you must know that the new Eagle Dollar transmitted by the Hongkong Treasury has been assayed by a special Officer conjointly [with an Officer from H. M. Consulate, and it has been decided that] it can be tendered in payment of Duties, and come into general circulation.

You are not to look upon it with suspicion (lit. with guessing and doubts to regard it.) Rogues and vagabonds, and such like, are moreover hereby strictly forbidden to secretly fabricate counterfeit imitations of the above mentioned coin with a view to their own profit; and should they dare to set this prohibition at defiance, they will most assuredly, upon discovery of the fact, be at once punished with the utmost severity.

Tremble and obey!

Let there be no disobedience!

A Special Proclamation.

THE above work, which has been chiefly com- piled for the purpose of aiding students in 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.

PROCLAMATION.

By His Excellency SIR ARTHUR Edward Kennedy, Knight Commander of the Most Distinguished Order of Saint Michael and Saint George, Companion of the Most Honourable Order of the Bath, Governor and Commander-in-Chief of the Colony of Hongkong and its Dependencies, and Vice-Admiral of the same.

Whereas by Section II of Ordinance No. 9 of 1858, it is enacted among other things that it shall be lawful for His Excellency the Governor in Council to establish any new Market within the District of Victoria; And whereas by Section VIII of "The Markets Ordinance, 1867," it is enacted that the expression "District of Victoria," shall mean the Nine Districts of the City of Victoria established and defined by Section III of the "Victoria Registration Ordinance, 1866," and shall extend to and include such other Localities in the Colony as the Governor in Council may from time to time direct, and as shall be signified by Proclamation under the Hand of the Governor; And whereas it is proposed by His Excellency the Governor to establish a new Market in the Village of Shau-ki-w?n, being a locality not included at present within the "District of Victoria" as defined by Section VIII of “The Markets Ordinance, 1867:"

Now, therefore, I, SIR ARTHUR EDWARD KENNEDY, Governor as aforesaid, in pursuance of the said last mentioned Section and by virtue of the Authority thereby in me vested, do by this Procla- mation under my Hand signify that the Expression "District of Victoria" in Section II of Ordinance No. 9 of 1858 shall extend to and include the said Village of Shau-ki-w?n.

the Fees payable to the Emigration Officer of Hongkong

under "The Chinese Passengers Ordinance, 1871:" Be it enacted

by the Governor of Hongkong, with the Advice of the Legislative

Council thereof, as follows:-

I. From and after the Commencement of this Ordinance, no Stamp Duties Fees shall be payable to the Emigration Officer of Hongkong in lieu of Fees. under "The "Chinese Passengers Ordinance, 1871," but in lieu

thereof the following Stamp Duties are hereby imposed, that is to

say:-

III. "The Stamp (Amendment) Ordinance, 1868" shall be read Ordinance as if the Stamp Duties hereby imposed were inserted in the Schedule No. 5 of 1868. of the said Ordinance.

IV. Nothing in this Ordinance contained shall be deemed to Saving Clause. affect the Payment of Fees under "The Chinese Passengers Ordinance, 1871," to any Emigration Officer at any Port or Place out of the Colony.

Statement of Objects and Reasons.

This Ordinance has been prepared under instructions from the Secretary of State.

It appears that it was not contemplated by Her Majesty's Government, that any Fees should be payable under Ordinance No. 8 of 1871, ("The Chinese Passengers Ordinance, 1871,") to the Emigration Officer of Hong- kong, but that the Fees in question should be paid into the Treasury as part of the Colonial Revenues.

"The Chinese Passengers Ordinance, 1871," under the special powers conferred by the "Chinese Passengers Act, 1855," upon the Legislature of Hongkong, regulates the Fees payable to Emigration Officers at all the Ports in China, but the present Ordinance merely deals with the Fees payable under that Ordinance in Hongkong, where owing to the success which has attended that measure, they already amount to a considerable sum,

and may become an important source of Revenue.

At the suggestion of the Secretary of State, this Ordinance provides for the imposition of Stamp Duties in lieu of Fees, which will cease to be payable on the passing of the measure.

Statement of Objects and Reasons.

This Ordinance is introduced to carry into effect a formal Resolution passed at a recent Meeting of the Legislative Council, whereby the expe- diency of making the Sheriff's office a salaried one, instead of one depend- ant for its remuneration upon Fees, was formally declared.

The Ordinance, at the same time, amends in certain other respects and consolidates the Law relating to the office of Sheriff in this Colony.

That office is one of great responsibility, and it can scarcely be expected that unprofessional persons will risk for a moderate salary the liabilities attaching to the post.

Therefore, by Section V it is provided that in cases of doubt or difficulty, the Sheriff may apply to the Court for directions, and that he shall not be liable for any act of commission or omission so long as the same is in accord- auce with the directions so received.

The whole of the enactments relating to the Law of Sheriff in this Colony will be found comprised in this Ordinance.

THE HONGKong goverNMENT GAZETTE, 14TH DECEMBER, 1872. 529

Statement of Objects and Reasons.

This Ordinance provides for the temporary custody, during their passage through Hongkong, of Foreign criminals sent to Europe for trial or punishment from China and Japan under the Warrant of the Minister or other representative of the nation to which they belong.

Foreign Ministers in China and Japan have not many opportunities of sending Home in a Vessel of War, for trial or punishment, criminals over whom they exercise in those countries extra territorial jurisdiction by Treaty. Such criminals, therefore, are frequently sent by Mail steamers and other merchant vessels to Hongkong, with instructions to the Consul of the nation to which the prisoner belongs, to provide for his safe custody until an occasion presents itself of effecting his transmission to Europe. Upon the arrival of the Mail steamer or other merchant vessel, the prisoner is at once landed, and the Hongkong Police Authorities are applied to by the Consul to provide for the prisoner's temporary custody in the Colonial gaol.

The Consuls urge that the General Comity of Nations entitles them to invoke the assistance of the local Government under the circumstances, and that the refusal to accede to their application appears a denial of reciprocity towards their own Governments. Formerly, the local Government did in some instances accede to the application of the Consul, and the prisoners were confined in the gaol, but they were immediately delivered on a writ of Habeas Corpus, as there is no power to detain a foreigner charged with a crime committed out of the Colonial jurisdiction, except in cases which fall within certain Extradition Treaties. Of late years, therefore, the practice has been to refuse such applications, and in consequence of such refusal, these criminals have been let loose upon the Colony.

Hongkong possesses so limited a territory, and is already so much over-run with dangerous characters from the neighbourhood of Canton, that any additional influx of criminals must be viewed with great apprehension. The most dangerous of all are these foreign criminals, who if let loose in this island without the means of livelihood, hang about the ports of China and Japan, and league themselves with the Natives to commit piracies and other crimes.

The Colony is unfortunately situated in this respect, though unavoidably so, owing to its geographical position. Thus the Supreme Court of China and Japan, is empowered to send offenders for imprisonment to Hongkong, so that at the expiration of their term of punishment, they are turned out into the streets of the Colony in a destitute condition. That Court is also empowered to deport British subjects to Hongkong, and unless the Governor of the Colony deport them again to England, (which he is authorized to do,) they must be set at large on the spot. Again the Government of the Philippines who are likewise empowered to deport their criminals, have occasionally sent them to Hongkong in a Man of War and simply landed them there.

It is manifestly desirable to check, as much as possible, such a confluence of criminal population in Hongkong; and this Ordinance, therefore, has been framed under instructions of the Secretary of State to empower the Governor, upon the request of foreign Ministers and Diplomatic Agents in China and Japan, through the Consuls in the Colony, to issue a Warrant for the temporary custody of criminals of the class above referred to, on their arrival in Hongkong, pending arrangements for their transmission to their respective countries, and upon such conditions as may be deemed reasonable.

III. This Ordinance shall not come into Operation until Her Majesty's Confirmation thereof shall have been proclaimed in the Colony.

Statement of Objects and Reasons.

This Ordinance is intended to grapple with a serious evil known to have taken root in this Colony. It is certain that a very considerable number of young Women and Girls is annually brought here in a condition practically of compulsory servitude. Orphans, or the children of extremely indigent parents, they are picked up on the Mainland by the wretches who carry on this abominable traffic, and a sale of their persons is effected there or here to the brothel-keepers of Hongkong. When once placed within the brothels, they are intimidated, or still worse, beaten into submission, and as a rule, they are too ignorant or frightened to complain.

That this state of things calls for remedy seems beyond dispute. And although difficulties in its application, due to the ignorance, indifference, or fears of the unfortunate victims, and to other obstacles which are always experienced when dealing with abuses due to Chinese customs or ideas are to be anticipated, the evil is one which clearly ought not to be allowed to flourish without some attempt to check it. The Ordinance, accordingly, proposes to make offences of this kind punishable by serious penalties; so that, at all events, the people engaged in this infamous traffic will feel that in continuing their practices, they do so clearly against the Law and subject to heavy responsibilities.

may prosecuted and recovered in Manner provided by Ordinance No. 10 of 1844, and the Magistrate committing any Person to Prison for Non-payment of any Penalty under this Ordinance may order him to be imprisoned with Hard Labor.

Statement of Objects and Reasons.

This Ordinance amends the Law relating to Licenses for the sale of intoxicating liquors in certain particulars, the greater part of which have been adapted from the Licensing Act, (35 & 36 Vic., c. 94), recently passed in England.

Section I defines the term "Spirituous Liquors" which by Section XXVII of No. 11 of 1844 Chinese are permitted to retail under license. The amendment is merely declaratory of the practice which has always been in force.

Section II removes a restriction from Chinese traders which at present forbids their retailing Spirituous Liquors in any quantity, except, of course, Samshu, to their own countrymen under license. This provision seems to have been allowed to remain dormant for a great number of years, and Chinese shopkeepers, as a matter of fact, did deal largely in Spirituous Liquors, and without any public mischief resulting from their so doing. About a year ago, however, a prosecution was instituted at the instance of an kotel-keeper against one of their number for a breach of this rule, which resulted in his conviction, and subsequently in a Petition from the Chinese shopkeepers for an alteration in the Law. Whatever reason there may have been at the time of passing Ordinance No. 11 of 1844 for drawing a distinction between Chinese and foreign shopkeepers in this particular, none is known to exist now, and it certainly does not seem in itself based on justice or equity.

Section III enlarges the powers of the Justices of the Peace under Ordi- nance No. 10 of 1868 enabling them to grant licenses for the sale of Spirituous Liquors to persons carrying on any suitable trade. At present this privilege is conferred under that Ordinance on hotel-keepers, restaura- teurs, or confectioners. A case recently arose where a Billiard table keeper applied for such License, and the Justices thought it a proper case for allowing it. The words now inserted have been suggested by that

case.

Section XXI of Ordinance No. 11 of 1844 is re-enacted in substance by Section XI, which is adapted from Section XXXV of the new Licensing Act.

Sections V, VI, VII, VIII, IX, and X are also taken from that Statute and do not seem to call for any detailed explanation. They are, in my opinion, extremely useful additions to the existing Law for the regulation of drunkenness and disorderly conduct, and are as well suited to this place as to England. In the seventh Section of the Imperial Act, the age of persons to whom it is forbidden to retail spirits is fixed at 16, this limi- tation is one scarcely suited to the peculiar circumstances of the Colony, and by Section V, it is altered to 14 years.

Section XII gives the Governor powers of granting special licenses to persons already licensed to sell intoxicating liquors on special occasions, such as the Races and the Regatta, at suitable places. Public convenience seems to demand this provision.

The latter part of Section XIV is borrowed from the Licensing Act.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 21ST DECEMBER, 1872.

The Honorable the Acting Colonial Secretary, by direction of His Excellency, applies for a Grant of $5,000 towards enabling the Trustees of St. John's Cathedral to repair the Roof of the Building, which has been pronounced by the Acting Surveyor General (LIEUT. MCHARDY, R.E.), to be in a dangerous condition from the ravages of white ants.

The Report of the Acting Surveyor General is then read, and the Acting Colonial Secretary details the reasons which have induced the Government to acquiesce in submitting the application of the Trustees to the Council, and explains the position of the Colony towards the Cathedral.

The Honorable JAMES WHITTALL objects to the Grant, on the ground that when recently subscribing for the construction of the Chancel he had been informed by a Trustee that the Roof of the Cathedral was sound, and would not require renewing for ten years.

The Honorable PHINEAS RYRIE is of opinion that as the Cathedral is also used by the Troops, the Military Authorities, or the Imperial Government, should be called upon to contribute for its preservation, and for this reason opposes the Grant.

Discussion follows.

After which, it is moved by the Honorable the Acting Colonial Secretary, seconded by the Honorable WILLIAM HASTINGS ALEXANDER, that a Sum not exceeding $5,000 be voted for renewing the Roof of St. John's Cathedral,-subject to the approval of the Secretary of State.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 21ST DECEMBER, 1872.

19. Revolt or conspiracy to revolt by two or more persons on board a ship on the high seas against the authority of the master.

Provided that the surrender shall be made only when, in the case of a person accused, the com- mission of the crime shall be so established as that the laws of the country where the fugitive or person accused shall be found would justify his apprehension and commitment for trial if the crime had been there committed; and, in the case of a person alleged to have been convicted, on such evidence as, according to the laws of the country where he is found, would prove that he had been convicted.

　　　In no case can the surrender be made unless the crime shall be punishable according to the laws in force in both countries with regard to extradition.

ARTICLE II.

　　In the dominions of Her Britannic Majesty, other than the Colonies or Foreign Possessions of Her Majesty, the manner of proceeding shall be as follows:-

I. In the case of a person accused--

The requisition for the surrender shall be made to Her Britannic Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs by the Minister or other Diplomatic Agent of His Majesty the King of the Belgians, accompanied by a warrant of arrest or other equivalent judicial document, issued by a Judge or Magistrate duly authorized to take cog- nizance of the acts charged against the accused in Belgium, together with duly authenticated depo- sitions or statements taken on oath before such Judge or Magistrate, clearly setting forth the said acts, and containing a description of the person claimed, and any particulars which may serve to identify him. The said Secretary of State shall transmit such documents to Her Britannic Ma- jesty's Principal Secretary of State for the Home Department, who shall then, by order under his hand and seal, signify to some Police Magistrate in London that such requisition has been made, and require him, if there be due cause, to issue his warrant for the apprehension of the fugitive.

On the receipt of such order from the Secretary of State, and on the production of such evidence as would, in the opinion of the Magistrate, justify the issue of the warrant if the crime had been committed in the United Kingdom, he shall issue his warrant accordingly.

When the fugitive shall have been apprehended, he shall be brought before the Police Magistrate who issued the warrant, or some other Police Ma- gistrate in London. If the evidence to be then produced shall be such as to justify, according to the law of England, the committal for trial of the prisoner, if the crime of which he is accused had been committed in England, the Police Magistrate shall commit him to prison to await the warrant of the Secretary of State for his surrender; sending immediately to the Secretary of State a certificate of the committal and a report upon the case.

19. R?volte ou complot de r?volte par deux ου plusieurs personnes ? bord d'un navire en haute mer, contre l'autorit? du capitaine.

Toutefois, l'extradition ne sera accord?e, dans le cas d'une personne accus?e, que si la perp?tration du crime est ?tablie de telle fa?on que les lois du pays o? le fugitif accus? sera trouv? justifieraient son arrestation et son emprisonnement si le crime avait ?t? commis dans ce pays; et dans le cas d'une personne pr?tenduement condamn?e, que sur la production d'une preuve qui, d'apr?s les lois du pays o? le fugitif a ?t? trouv?, ?tablirait suf- fisamment qu'il a ?t? condamn?.

En aucun cas l'extradition ne pourra avoir lieu que lorsque le crime sera pr?vu par la l?gislation sur l'extradition en vigueur dans les deux pays.

ARTICLE II.

Dans les Etats de Sa Majest? Britannique, autres que les Colonies ou les possessions ?trang?res de Sa Majest?, la mani?re de proc?der sera la suivante:-

I. S'il s'agit d'une personne accus?e—

La demande d'extradition sera adress?e au Premier Secr?taire d'Etat de Sa Majest? pour les Affaires Etrang?res par le Ministre ou autre Agent Diplomatique de Sa Majest? le Roi des Belges. ? cette demande seront joints un mandat d'arr?t ou autre document judiciaire ?quivalent, d?livr? par un Juge ou Magistrat d?ment autoris? ? prendre connaissance des actes imput?s ? l'accus? en Belgique, ainsi que les d?positions authentiques ou les d?clarations faites sous serment devant ce Juge ou Magistrat, ?non?ant clairement les dits. actes, et contenant, outre le signalement de la personne r?clam?e, toutes les particularit?s qui pourraient servir ? ?tablir son identit?.

Le dit Secr?taire d'Etat transmettra ces do- cuments au Premier Secr?taire d'Etat de Sa Ma- jest? Britannique pour les Affaires Int?rieures, qui, par un ordre de sa main et muni de son sceau, signifiera ? l'un ou l'autre Magistrat de Police ? Londres que la demande d'extradition a ?t? faite, et le requerra, s'il y a lieu, de d?livrer un mandat pour l'arrestation du fugitif.

A la r?ception d'un semblable ordre du Se- cr?taire d'Etat, et sur la production de telle preuve qui, dans l'opinion de ce Magistrat, justifierait l'?mission du mandat si le crime avait ?t? commis dans le Royaume Uni, il d?livrera le mandat requis.

Lorsqu'alors le fugitif aura ?t? arr?t?, il sera amen? devant le Magistrat de Police qui a lanc? le mandat, ou devant un autre Magistrat de Police ? Londres. Si la preuve qu'on produira est de nature ? justifier, selon la loi Anglaise, la mise en jugement du prisonnier dans le cas o? le crime dont il est accus? aurait ?t? commis en Angleterre, le Magistrat de Police l'enverra en prison pour attendre le mandat du Secr?taire d'Etat n?cessaire ? l'extradition, et il adressera imm?diatement au Secr?taire d'Etat une attestation de l'emprison- nement avec un rapport sur l'affaire.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 21ST DECEMBER, 1872. 549

　After the expiration of a period from the com- mittal of the prisoner, which shall never be less than fifteen days, the Secretary of State shall, by order under his hand and seal, order the fugitive criminal to be surrendered to such person as may be duly authorized to receive him on the part of the Government of His Majesty the King of the Belgians.

II. In the case of a person convicted-

　The course of proceeding shall be the same as in the case of a person accused, except that the warrant to be transmitted by the Minister or other Diplomatic Agent in support of his requisition shall clearly set forth the crime of which the person claimed has been convicted, and state the fact, place, and date of his conviction. The evi- dence to be produced before the Police Magistrate shall be such as would, according to the law of England, prove that the prisoner was convicted of the crime charged.

　After the Police Magistrate shall have com- mitted the accused or convicted person to prison to await the order of a Secretary of State for his surrender, such person shall have the right to apply for a writ of habeas corpus; if he should so apply, his surrender must be deferred until after the decision of the Court upon the return to the writ, and even then can only take place if the decision is adverse to the applicant. In the latter case the Court may at once order his delivery to the person authorized to receive him, without the order of a Secretary of State for his surrender, or commit him to prison to await such order.

ARTICLE III.

　In the dominions of His Majesty the King of the Belgians, other than the Colonies or Foreign Possessions of His said Majesty, the manner of proceeding shall be as follows:-

I. In the case of a person accused--

　The requisition for the surrender shall be made to the Minister for Foreign Affairs of His Majesty the King of the Belgians by the Minister or other Diplomatic Agent of Her Britannic Majesty, accompanied by a warrant of arrest issued by a Judge or Magistrate duly authorized to take cogni- zance of the acts charged against the accused in Great Britain, together with duly authenticated depositions or statements taken on oath before such Judge or Magistrate, clearly setting forth the said acts, and containing a description of the person claimed, and any other particulars which may serve to identify him.

　The Minister for Foreign Affairs shall transmit the warrant of arrest, with the documents thereto annexed, to the Minister of Justice, who shall forward the same to the proper judicial authority, in order that the warrant of arrest may be put in course of execution by the Chamber of the Council (Chambre du Conseil) of the Court of First Instance of the place of residence of the accused, or of the place where he may be found.

　After issue of the order for arrest, and on exhibition of the warrant of arrest, the foreigner may be provisionally arrested, and the Juge

Apr?s l'expiration d'un certain temps, qui ne pourra jamais ?tre moindre de quinze jours depuis l'emprisonnement de l'accus?, le Secr?taire d'Etat, par un ordre de sa main et muni de son sceau, ordonnera que le criminel fugitif soit livr? ? telle personne qui sera d?ment autoris?e ? le recevoir au nom du Gouvernement de Sa Majest? le Roi des Belges.

II. S'il s'agit d'une personne condamn?e-

La marche de la proc?dure sera la m?me que dans le cas d'une personne accus?e, sauf que le mandat ? transmettre par le Ministre ou autre Agent Diplomatique, ? l'appui de la demande d'extradition, ?noncera clairement le crime pour lequel la personne r?clam?e aura ?t? condamn?e, et mentionnera le fait, le lieu, et la date du ju- gement. La preuve ? produire devant le Ma- gistrat de Police sera telle que d'apr?s la loi Anglaise elle ?tablirait que le prisonnier a ?t? condamn? pour le crime dont on l'accuse.

Apr?s que le Magistrat de Police aura envoy? la personne accus?e ou condamn?e en prison pour attendre l'ordre d'extradition du Secr?taire d'Etat, cette personne aura le droit de r?clamer une or- donnance d'habeas corpus; l'extradition doit alors ?tre diff?r?e jusqu'apr?s la d?cision de la Cour sur le renvoi de l'ordonnance, et elle ne pourra avoir lieu que si la d?cision est contraire au demandeur. Dans ce dernier cas, la Cour peut imm?diatement ordonner la remise de celui-ci ? la personne qui est autoris?e ? le recevoir, sans qu'il soit besoin d'attendre l'ordre d'extradition du Secr?taire d'Etat, ou bien l'envoyer en prison pour attendre cet ordre.

ARTICLE III.

Dans les Etats de Sa Majest? le Roi des Belges, autres que les Colonies ou possessions ?trang?res de Sa dite Majest?, on proc?dera de la fa?on

suivante :-

I. S'il s'agit d'une personne accus?e-

La demande d'extradition sera adress?e au Ministre des Affaires Etrang?res de Sa Majest? le Roi des Belges par le Ministre ou autre Agent Diplomatique de Sa Majest? Britannique; ? cette demande seront joints un mandat d'arr?t d?livr? par un Juge ou Magistrat d?ment autoris? ? prendre connaissance des actes imput?s ? l'accus? dans la Grande Bretagne, ainsi que les d?positions authentiques ou les d?clarations faites sous serment devant ce Juge ou Magistrat, ?non?ant clairement les dits actes, et contenant, outre le signalement de la personne r?clam?e, toutes les particularit?s qui pourraient servir ? ?tablir son identit?.

Le Ministre des Affaires Etrang?res trans- mettra le mandat d'arr?t, avec les pi?ces annex?es, au Ministre de la Justice, qui fera parvenir les documents a l'autorit? judiciaire, ? l'effet de voir rendre le dit mandat d'arr?t ex?cutoire par la Chambre du Conseil du Tribunal de premi?re instance du lieu de la r?sidence de l'inculp?, ou du lieu o? il pourra ?tre trouv?.

The foreigner may claim to be provisionally set at liberty in any case in which a Belgian enjoys that right, and under the same conditions. The application shall be submitted to the Chamber of the Council (Chambre du Conseil).

The surrender shall not be granted unless on production of the order of the Chamber of the Council (Chambre du Conseil), of the decree of the Chamber of Indictments or Investigation (Chambre des Mises en Accusation ), or of the act of criminal procedure (acte de proc?dure criminelle), issued by the competent Judge, formally decreeing or necessarily involving the sending of the accused before a criminal court (la juridiction r?pressive) delivered in original or in an authenticated copy, and after having taken the opinion of the Chamber of Indicments or Investigation (Chambre des Mises en Accusation) of the Court of Appeal, within whose jurisdiction the foreigner shall have been arrested.

The hearing of the case shall be public, unless the foreigner should demand that it should be with closed doors.

The public authorities and the foreigner shall be heard. The latter may obtain the assistance of Counsel.

Within a fortnight from the receipt of the documents, they shall be returned, with reasoned opinion, to the Minister of Justice, who shall decide, and may order that the accused be delivered to the person duly authorized on the part of the Government of Her Britannic Majesty.

II. In the case of a person convicted-

　　The course of proceeding shall be the same as in the case of a person accused, except that the conviction or sentence of condemnation issued in original or in an authenticated copy, to be transmitted by the Minister or other Diplomatic Agent in support of his requisition, shall clearly set forth the crime of which the person claimed has been convicted, and state the fact, place, and date of his conviction. The evidence to be produced before the Magistrate charged with the investigation of the case shall be such as would, according to the Belgian laws, prove that the prisoner was convicted of the crime charged.

ARTICLE IV.

　　A fugitive criminal may, however, be appre- hended under a warrant issued by any Police Magistrate, Justice of the Peace, or other com- petent authority in either country, on such in- formation or complaint, and such evidence, or after such proceedings as would, in the opinion of the person issuing the warrant, justify the issue of a warrant, if the crime had been committed or the prisoner convicted, in that part of the dominions of the two Contracting Parties in which he exercises jurisdiction: Provided however that, in the United Kingdom, the accused shall, in such case, be sent as speedily as possible before a Police Magistrate in London. He shall be dis- charged, as well in the United Kingdom as in

　Belgium, if within fourteen days a requisition shall not have been made for his surrender by the Diplomatic Agent of his country, in the manner directed by Articles II and III of this Treaty.

　　The same rule shall apply to the cases of persons accused or convicted of any of the crimes specified in this Treaty, committed on the high seas, on board any vessel of either country which may come into a port of the other.

ARTICLE V.

　　If the fugitive criminal who has been com- mitted to prison be not surrendered and con- veyed away within two months after such com- mittal (or within two months after the decision of the Court upon the return to a writ of habeas corpus in the United Kingdom), he shall be dis- charged from custody, unless sufficient cause be shown to the contrary.

ARTICLE VI.

　　When any person shall have been surrendered by either of the High Contracting Parties to the other, such person shall not, until he has been restored or had an opportunity of returning to the country from whence he was surrendered, be triable or tried for any offence committed in the other country prior to the surrender, other than the particular offence on account of which he was surrendered.

ARTICLE VII.

　　No accused or convicted person shall be sur- rendered, if the offence in respect of which his surrender is demanded shall be deemed by the Party upon which it is made to be a political offence, or to be an act connected with (connexe ?) such an offence, or if he prove to the satisfaction of the Police Magistrate, or of the Court before which he is brought on habeas corpus, or to the Secretary of State, that the requisition for his surrender has in fact been made with a view to try or to punish him for an offence of a political character.

ARTICLE IX.

The surrender shall not take place if, since the commission of the acts charged, the accusation, or the conviction, exemption from prosecution or punishment has been acquired by lapse of time, according to the laws of the country where the accused shall have taken refuge.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 21ST DECEMBER, 1872.

ARTICLE X.

If the individual claimed by one of the two High Contracting Parties in pursuance of the present Treaty should be also claimed by one or several other Powers, on account of other crimes committed upon their respective territories, his surrender shall be granted to that State whose de- mand is earliest in date; unless any other arran- gement should be made between the Gov- ernments which have claimed him, either account of the gravity of the crimes committed, or for any other reasons.

ARTICLE XI.

on

If the individual claimed should be under pro- secution, or condemned for a crime or offence committed in the country where he may have taken refuge, his surrender may be deferred until he shall have been set at liberty in due course of law.

In case he should be proceeded against or detained in such country, on account of obligations contracted towards private individuals, his sur- render shall nevertheless take place, the injured party retaining his right to prosecute his claims before the competent authority.

ARTICLE XII.

Every article found in the possession of the individual claimed at the time of his arrest, shall, if the competent authority so decide, be seized, in order to be delivered up with his person at the time when the surrender shall be made. Such delivery shall not be limited to the property or articles obtained by stealing or by fraudulent bankruptcy, but shall extend to every thing that may serve as proof of the crime. It shall take place even when the surrender after having been ordered, shall be prevented from taking place by reason of the escape or death of the individual claimed.

The rights of third parties with regard to the said property or articles are nevertheless reserved. ARTICLE XIII.

Each of the High Contracting Parties shall defray the expenses occasioned by the arrest within its territories, the detention, and the con- veyance to its frontier, of the persons whom it may consent to surrender in pursuance of the present Treaty.

ARTICLE XIV.

The stipulations of the present Treaty shall be applicable to the Colonies and foreign Possessions of the two High Contracting Parties.

The requisition for the surrender of a fugitive criminal who has taken refuge in a Colony or foreign Possession of either Party, shall be made to the Governor or Chief Authority of such Colony or Possession by the Chief Consular Officer of the other in such Colony or Possession; or, if the fugitive has escaped from a Colony or foreign Possession of the Party on whose behalf the requisition is made, by the Governor or Chief Authority of such Colony or Possession.

ARTICLE X.

Si l'individu r?clam? par l'une des Hautes Parties Contractantes, en ex?cution du pr?sent Trait?, est aussi r?clam? par une ou plusieurs autres Puissances, du chef d'autres crimes com- mis sur leurs territoires respectifs, son extradition sera accord?e ? l'Etat dont la demande est la plus ancienne en date, ? moins qu'il n'existe entre les Gouvernements qui l'ont r?clam? un arrangement qui d?ciderait de la pr?f?rence, soit ? raison de la gravit? des crimes commis, soit ? raison de tout autre motif.

ARTICLE XI.

Si l'individu r?clam? est poursuivi ou condamn? pour un crime ou un d?lit commis dans le pays o? il s'est r?fugi?, son extradition pourra ?tre diff?r?e jusqu'? ce qu'il ait ?t? mis en libert? selon le cours r?gulier de la loi.

Dans le cas o? il serait poursuivi ou d?tenu dans le m?me pays ? raison d'obligations par lui con- tract?es envers des particuliers, son extradition n'en aura pas moins lieu, sauf ? la partie l?s?e ? faire valoir ses droits devant l'autorit? comp?tente.

ARTICLE XII.

Tout objet trouv? en la possession de l'individu r?clam? au moment de son arrestation sera, si l'autorit? comp?tente en a ainsi ordonn?, saisi pour ?tre livr? avec sa personne lorsque l'extradi- tion aura lieu. Cette remise ne sera pas limit?e aux objets acquis par vol ou banqueroute fraudu- leuse, mais elle s'?tendra ? toute chose qui pour- rait servir de pi?ce de conviction. Elle se fera m?me si l'extradition, apr?s avoir ?t? accord?e, ne peut s'accomplir par suite de l'?vasion ou de la mort de l'individu r?clam?.

Sont, cependant, r?serv?s les droits des tiers sur les objets susmentionn?s.

ARTICLE XIII.

Chacune des Hautes Parties Contractantes sup- portera les frais occasionn?s par l'arrestation sur son territoire, la d?tention, et le transport ? la fronti?re des personnes qu'elle consentirait ? extrader en ex?cution du pr?sent Trait?.

ARTICLE XIV.

Les stipulations du pr?sent Trait? seront appli- cables aux Colonies et Possessions ?trang?res des deux Hautes Parties Contractantes.

La demande d'extradition d'un criminel fugitif qui s'est r?fugi? dans une Colonie ou Possession ?trang?re de l'une des Parties sera faite au Gouverneur ou au fonctionnaire principal de cette Colonie ou Possession par le principal Agent Consulaire de l'autre dans cette Colonie ou Pos- session; ou, si le fugitif s'est ?chapp? d'une Colonie ou Possession ?trang?re de la Partie ou nom de laquelle l'extradition est demand?e, par le Gou- verneur ou le fonctionnaire principal de cette Colonie ou Possession.

PILOTAGE AND DISTRESS.

　　The Board of Trade have for a long time been in communication with Ship Owners and with the Public Departments with a view to establishing certain Signals to be used by ships in distress and by ships wanting pilots. The Board of Trade have, with great care, ascertained full particulars of the Signals made at night by the ships of private companies (chiefly by a combination of rockets and blue- lights,) and have framed a set of rules to establish Signals which, whilst they interfere with no existing Signals, are in themselves simple and unmistakeable.

　　The Admiralty and the Trinity House, and all public bodies and companies with whom the Board have corresponded, agree as to the necessity for authorised signals of distress, and the question has been so far narrowed that there only remained one or two points to settle by conference.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 21ST DECEMBER, 1872.

This was done at a meeting at the Board of Trade, consisting of Captains Were and Weller, Elder Brethren of the Trinity House; Mr. J. Hart, of the Pilotage Department of the Trinity House; Captain Simpson, Superintendent of Pilotage at Liverpool, and Captain. Wilson, of the Mersey Docks and Harbour Board; and Admiral Bedford and Mr. Gray, of the Board of Trade.

At this meeting it was unanimously agreed that it would be well if rules were made as given below. It was proposed that these rules should be printed in draft and circulated at an early convenient opportunity, with a view to careful consideration and subsequent embodi- ment in the Merchant Shipping Code Bill.

The draft rules agreed to were,-

That the Signals be—

1. Signals to be made by Ships wanting a Pilot.

　　(a.) In the daytime.—To be hoisted at the fore, the Jack or other National Colour usually worn by Merchant Ships, having round it a white border, one-fifth of the breadth of the flag.

(b.) At night,-

(1) A blue-light every 15 minutes; or

(2) A bright white light, flashed or shown at short or frequent intervals, just above the bulwarks, for about a minute at a time.

2. As regards Signals of Distress.

　　(a.) In the daytime. The following signals, numbered 1, 2, and 3, when used or displayed together or separately, shall be deemed to be signals of distress in the daytime:

1. A gun fired at intervals of about a minute.

2. The Commercial Code signal of distress indicated by N. C.

3. The distant signal, consisting of a square flag having either above or below it a ball or anything resembling a ball.

　　'(The Ensign Union down has been advisedly ommitted, because many foreign flags are the same whether right side or wrong side up; and because it is hoped that the signals now suggested may become international.)

　　(b.) At night.—The following signals, numbered 1, 2, 3, and 4, when used or displayed together or separately, shall be deemed to be signals of distress at night:-

1. A gun fired at intervals of about a minute.

2. Flames on the ship (as from a burning tar barrel, oil barrel, &c.)

3. Rockets of any colour or description, fired one at a time at intervals of about five (5) minutes.

4. Blue-lights, burned one at a time at intervals of about five (5) minutes.

They shall also de- termine the direction of the correspondence re- ciprocally transmitted; and shall settle the ar- rangements relating to the form and the liqui- dation of the accounts arising out of the mutual transmission of correspondence, as well as every other matter of detail which may be necessary to ensure the execution of the stipulations con- tained in the present Convention.

It is understood that the measures above allud- ed to may be modified by the two Offices when- ever those two Offices mutually see the necessity for such modification.

ARTICLE XXXVII.

The present Convention shall be carried into effect as soon as possible, and at the latest on the 1st of January, 1857, and shall continue in force until one of the two Contracting Parties shall have announced to the other, one year in advance however, its intention to terminate this Convention. During this last year the Convention shall con- tinue to be fully and entirely carried into effect, without prejudice to the settlement of the accounts between the Offices of the two countries, after the expiration of the said term.

　　All the Conventions which now regulate the exchange of correspondence between Great Britain and France shall cease to have effect from the date of the day when the present Convention shall be put into execution.

ARTICLE XXXV.

Afin de s'assurer r?ciproquement l'int?gralit? du produit des correspondances ?chang?es entre les deux pays, les Gouvernements Britannique et Fran?ais s'engagent ? emp?cher, par tous les moyens qui sont en leur pouvoir, que ces cor- respondances ne passent par d'autres voies que par leurs postes respectives.

Toufetois, il est entendu que les courriers en- voy?s par des maisons de commerce ou autres, pour porter accidentellement une seule lettre, ou une ou plusieurs gazettes, pourront traverser libre- ment les territoires respectifs des deux Etats, pourvu que sur le territoire Fran?ais ces courriers pr?sentent la lettre ou les gazettes dont ils seront porteurs au premier Bureau de Poste, qui leur appliquera les taxes voulues par les lois et r?gle- ments du pays.

Ces objets seront frapp?s des timbres d'origine et d'affranchissement des Bureaux de Poste par lesquels les taxes auront ?t? per?ues, et il en sera d?livr? au courrier un certificat qui sera joint ? son passeport.

ARTICLE XXXVI.

Elles

L'Administration des Postes Britanniques et l'Administration des Postes de France d?signe- ront, d'un commun accord, les Bureaux par les- quels devra avoir lieu l'?change des correspond- ances respectives; elles r?gleront les conditions auxquelles seront soumises les correspondances de l'un des deux pays pour l'autre insuffisamment affranchies au moyen de timbre-poste. r?gleront ?galement la direction des correspond- ances transinises r?ciproquement; et arr?teront les dispositions relatives ? la formation et ? la liquidation des comptes r?sultant de la transmis- sion r?ciproque des cerrespondances, ainsi que toute autre mesure de d?tail ou d'ordre n?cessaire pour assurer l'ex?cution des stipulations de la pr?sente Convention.

Il est entendu que les mesures design?es ci-. dessus pourront ?tre modifi?es par les deux Ad- ministrations toutes les fois que, d'un commun accord, ces deux Administrations en reconna?tront la n?cessit?.

ARTICLE XXXVII.

La pr?sente Convention sera mise ? ex?cution le plus t?t possible, et au plus tard le 1er Janvier, 1857, et elle demeurera obligatoire jusqu'? ce que l'une des deux Parties Contractantes ait annonc? ? l'autre, mais un an ? l'avance, son intention d'en faire cesser les effets.

Pendant cette derni?re ann?e, la Convention continuera d'avoir son ex?cution pleine et enti?re, sans pr?judice de la liquidation et du solde des comptes entre les Administrations des deux pays, apr?s l'expiration du dit terme.

Toutes les Conventions qui r?glent, en ce mo- ment, l'?change des correspondances entre la Grande Bretagne et la France cesseront d'avoir leur effet ? dater du jour o? la pr?sente Convention recevra son ex?cution.

DICTIONARY,

BY

THE RAVD. W. LOBSCHEID.

IE 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.

PRICE $8 per Copy.
