An inspection of the Steam and Hand Engines, Hose, Fire-escape Ladders, and Material generally, was made on the 2nd December, all were found clean and in order. The Hand Engines were worked for a few minutes from the Hydrants near the Cross Roads.

　　A parade and inspection was held on the 18th December. As it is not desirable to trench without necessity upon the Pokfoolum water supply, the Steam and Hand Engines were all worked from the sea near the Canton Steamers' Wharf, and found to be in good order. The Government Engines and the Engines owned by Chinese Associations, were present.

An inspection of the Government Brigade, Engines, Hose, Ladders and Implements, was made on the 31st December, all were found in good order.

I have the honor to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient Servant,

　　　　SIR,-I have the honor to forward herewith, for Your Excellency's information, the Copy of a Letter I have this day received from the Commander of the P. & O.

P. & O. STEAM NAVIGATION Co.,

HONGKONG, 6th January, 1874.

DEAR SIR,- beg to report for your information that I have had an opportunity of seeing the danger on the East Coast of Kiusiu Island, marked on the Charts of Japan as the Nelly Rock (P.D.), and which was searched for unsuccessfully in 1866 by Commander BULLOCK of H.M.S. Serpent.

The weather at the time being misty with rain, the Islet Ohosima was not visible, but the follow- ing bearings were taken from the S.S. Avoca :

Kayeta Saki, Utoya.na, Nelly Rock,

......

These bearings give the position of the Danger:

.N. 71 W.

....S. 38 W.

....N. 28 W. distance 2 miles.

Lat. 31.48 N.On Admiralty Chart 358, corrected up

Long. 131.35 E. S to 1870.

　　　　I judge that this shoal is at all times covered by about 8 feet of water, there was a heavy swell rolling in from the Eastward at the time of observation, causing heavy breakers on the Rock, about two Cables in extent.

I notice that the latitude is the same as given by the barque Nelly, as also the bearing of Ohosima S.S.W. The longitude of this Coast has been corrected since 1863, which will account for the discre- pancy in that respect.

Commodore PARISH, R.N.,

H.M S. Princess Charlotte,

HONGKONG.

I have, &c.,

(Signed,)

W. B. ANDREWS, Commander P. & O. S.S. Avoca.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 31sT JANUARY, 1874.

　　There has lately come to Hongkong a newly coined Japanese Foreign Silver Dollar, and Sir BROOKE ROBERTSON, the British Consul, having requested that Officers might be appointed to assay it, the Viceroy and Haikwan thereupon appointed Officers to melt it down and assay it in conjunction with [an Officer from the British Consulate], when taking the Haikwan pure Silver as the standard, an out-turn was obtained of fully.8957; or, Taels 111.6.4 of this new Eagle Dollar are equivalent to 100 Haikwan Taels of pure Silver. Minutes of the Assay were drawn up in proof thereof.

For the convenience of traders and people, therefore, this Coin should be allowed to be tendered in payment of Duties, at the rate of touch obtained at the Assay, and come into daily circulation.

It becomes the duty then of the Viceroy and his colleagues to issue a Proclamation on the subject for general information.

　　This Proclamation, therefore, is for the information of you merchants, traders, soldiers, and people of every district. You must know that a Japanese Eagle Dollar has lately come to Hongkong, and has been jointly assayed by Officers specially appointed for the purpose. It can be taken in payment of Duties and come into general circulation. You must not look upon it with suspicion. Rogues, sharpers and the like are moreover hereby strictly forbidden to fabricate fspurious imitations of this new Eagle Dollar with a view to their own profit; and should they dare to set this prohibition at defiance, and fabricate false Coin, they shall upon discovery most assuredly be at once arrested and punished.

Let every one obey with trembling!

Let there be no disobedience!

A Special Proclamation.

From this number of Deaths, so far as the health of the Colony is concerned, should be deducted those of Non-residents, which amounted to 56.

I annex a Return showing the prevailing diseases in the Colony which have resulted in Death. The rate of Mortality for every thousand persons during 1873 among the British and Foreign Community, was 27.72, and amongst the Chinese 22.29, while for the whole population of the Colony the rate was 22.57 for every thousand persons. *

　　　　　The Ordinance has been very successful in its operation. It must not, however, be supposed that every Birth and Death has been registered, but there is good reason for believing that compara- tively few cases (especially as regards the Deaths) have not been recorded.

　　　　　The success of this important measure at its introduction is, I think, mainly due to the great care and trouble taken by Mr. TONNOCHY in causing its provisions to be thoroughly explained to the Chinese Community, and to the ability he displayed in organizing the staff engaged in carrying out the details of the Ordinance.

I have the honor to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient Servant,

CECIL C. SMITH, Registrar General.

The Honorable J. GARDINER AUSTIN,

Colonial Secretary,

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.

　　　If, however, the person who has taken refuge in the territory of the other High Contracting Party shall have become naturalized there after the perpetration of the crime, such naturalization shall not be an obstacle to his extradition accord- ing to the stipulations of this Treaty.

ARTICLE IV.

　　　The extradition shall not take place if the per- son claimed has already been tried and acquitted, or punished, or if he is under trial, for the same crime for which extradition is asked. If he should be under trial for any other crime, his extradition shall be deferred until the conclusion of the trial, and the fulfilment of the punishment, when such may have been awarded.

ARTICLE V.

The extradition shall also not take place if, after the perpetration of the crime, or the institu- tion of the penal prosecution, or the conviction thereon, the refugee shall have acquired exemp- tion from prosecution, or punishment, by lapse of time, according to the laws of the State appealed to.

ARTICLE VI.

　　　The person claimed shall not be delivered up for crimes of a political character, and when he shall have been delivered up on other grounds he shall not be punished for anterior political crimes. He shall not, moreover, be delivered up if he can clearly prove that the requisition is made with the object of trying him, or of punishing him, for a political crime.

ARTICLE VII.

　　　A person surrendered cannot be kept in prison, or brought to trial, in the State to which the sur- render is made for any other crime, or on account of any other matters, than those for which the ex- tradition has been granted. This statement is not applicable to crimes committed after the extradi-

tion.

ARTICLE VIII.

　　　If the person whose extradition is demanded by one of the High Contracting Parties shall be also claimed by one or more other Governments, on account of crimes committed in their respective territories, the following rule shall be observed:

　　　If he shall be a subject of the High Contracting Party who claims him, the surrender shall be made to it. If he be not so, the other High Contracting Party shall have the power of delivering him up to the reclaiming Government which in the case in question may appear to the former best entitled to the preference.

ARTICLE IX.

　A requisition for extradition shall be made through the respective Diplomatic Agents of the High Contracting Powers.

When it relates to a person accused only, it must be accompanied by the warrant of arrest, issued by the competent authority of the State applying for it, and by such evidence as according to the laws of the place where the accused is found, would justify the arrest if the crime was there committed.

If the extradition refers to a person already con- victed, the application must be accompanied by a copy of the sentence of condemnation, passed against him, given by a competent Tribunal of the State making the requisition.

　The requisition cannot, however, be founded on a sentence passed in contumaciam, that is to say, when the delinquent has not been personally cited to defend himself.

ARTICLE X.

If the requisition has been in conformity with the foregoing stipulations, the competent authori- ties of the State to which it has been addressed shall proceed to the capture of the refugee. The prisoner shall be brought before a competent au- thority, who is to examine him and conduct the preliminary investigations of the case just as if the apprehension had taken place for crime committed in the same country.

ARTICLE XI.

The extradition shall in no case take place before the expiration of fifteen days counted from the ap- prehension, and after that delay it shall only be carried out when the evidence has been found sufficient according to the laws of the country ap- plied to, either for subjecting the prisoner to trial if the crime had been there committed, or to prove the identity of the person convicted and condemned by the Tribunals of the State making the requisition.

ARTICLE XIII.

If within two months counting from the date of arrest, sufficient evidence for the extradition shall not have been presented, the person arrested shall be set at liberty. He shall likewise be set at li- berty if, within two months of the day on which he was placed at the disposal of the Diplomatic Agent, he shall not have been sent off to the reclaiming country.

ARTIGO IX.

Se ella referir-se a um individuo s?mente ac- cusado, dever? ser accompanhada do mandado de pris?o expedido pela auctoridade competente do Estado que a solicitar, e de provas que segundo as leis do logar onde o accusado for encontrado justi- ficassem a captura quando o crime fosse ahi com- mettido.

ARTIGO X.

O preso ser? levado ? presen?a da auctoridade competente, que ter? de examinal-o, e de dirigir as investiga??es preli- minares do cazo como se a captura fosse effeituada por crime commettido no mesmo paiz.

\

ARTIGO XI.

ARTIGO XII.

Nos exames ? que se tiver de proceder de con- formidade com as precedentes estipula??es as auctoridades do Estado, ? que se fez o pedido, admittir?o como provas os depoimentos sob jura- mento, ou as declara??es, das testemunhas, que for?o tomadas no outro Estado ou as respectivas copias, assim como os documentos judiciaes, man- dados, ou senten?as, expedidos d'alli, com tanto que sej?o assignados ou legalisados pela propria m?o do juiz, magistrado ou empregado publico d'aquelle Estado, e authenticados ou por juramento de alguma testemunha ou com o sello official do Ministro da Justi?a, ou de qualquer outro Ministro d'Estado.

The Undersigned, Plenipotentiaries of Her Majesty the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, and of His Majesty the Emperor of Brazil, charged with making a Treaty for the extradition of criminals, upon which they have at this present agreed, having met in conference, took into their consideration the fol- lowing subjects:-

They directed their attention to the fact that the criminal law of England punishes the crime of infanticide with the same penalty as that of murder, when accompanied by corresponding cir- cumstances, and that it results therefrom that extradition should take place even for attempting to commit that crime.

On the other hand, they observed, that accord- ing to the Brazilian law, infanticide is not pun- ished as murder, nor even as manslaughter, but as a crime distinct from both, and by a minor pun- ishment, and that consequently extradition should not take place for the attempt.

They consequently resolved to declare that extradition shall solely take place for the crime of infanticide, and not for an attempt to commit that

crime.

With this declaration they agreed to close this conference, from which the present Protocol emanates, which being found in conformity, was signed, each having a copy thereof.

Reunidos em conferencia os Plenipotenciarios de Sua Magestade a Rainha do Reino Unido da Gr? Bretanha e Irlanda, e de Sua Magestade o Imperador do Brazil, abaixo assignados, encarre- gados de ajustar um Tractado de extradi??o de delinquentes, em que nesta data accordar?o, tomar?o em considera??o a seguinte materia :

Ponderou-se que a lei criminal Ingleza pune o crime de infanticidio com a mesma pena do crime de murder, quando acompahado das circumstan- cias deste, e que dahi resulta ter lugar a extradi??o mesmo por tentativa.

Por outro lado ponderou-se que segundo a lei Brasileira, o infanticidio n?o ? punido como o homicidio sujeito ? pena de morte, nem mesmo como homicidio, sim como crime distincto d'elles, e com pena menor, e que consequentemente n?o deve ter lugar a extradi??o por tentativa.

Resolver?o pois declarar que a extradi??o s? poder? verificar-se pelo crime de infanticidio, e n?o pela tentativa d'elle.

Com esta declara??o entender?o terminar esta conferencia, da qual se lavrou o presente Proto- collo, que depois de achar-se conforme foi assig- nado, ficando cada um com o seu exemplar.

Reunidos em conferencia os Plenipotenciarios de Sua Magestade a Rainha do Reino Unido da Gr? Bretanha e Irlanda, e de Sua Magestade o Imperador do Brazil, abaixo assignados, encarre- gados de ajustar um Tractado de extradi??o de delinquentes, em que nesta data accordar?o, tomar?o em considera??o a seguinte materia :

Ponderou-se que a lei criminal Ingleza pune o crime de infanticidio com a mesma pena do crime de murder, quando acompahado das circumstan- cias deste, e que dahi resulta ter lugar a extradi??o mesmo por tentativa.

Por outro lado ponderou-se que segundo a lei Brasileira, o infanticidio n?o ? punido como o homicidio sujeito ? pena de morte, nem mesmo como homicidio, sim como crime distincto d'elles, e com pena menor, e que consequentemente n?o deve ter lugar a extradi??o por tentativa.

Resolver?o pois declarar que a extradi??o s? poder? verificar-se pelo crime de infanticidio, e n?o pela tentativa d'elle.

·

Com esta declara??o entender?o terminar esta conferencia, da qual se lavrou o presente Proto- collo, que depois de achar-se conforme foi assig- nado, ficando cada um com o seu exemplar.

Feito na Corte do Rio de Janeiro aos treze dias de Noveinbro de 1872.

loss or damage which he may have sustained by reason of the detention of the ship for the

purpose of survey, or otherwise in respect of such survey.

A CHINESE AND ENGLIS

DICTIONARY,

BY

THE REVD. W. LOBSCHEID.

HE 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.

VICTORIA, HONGKONG, 24th January, 1874.

　SIR,-In accordance with your instructions, I have the honor to forward, for the information of His Excellency the Governor, the Annual Police Report and Returns of Crime for the

year 1873. 2. There is a marked diminution in the amount of Crime generally, and fewer cases have escaped detection than in the previous year. The decrease in serious Crimes is 5.73 per cent and in- minor Offences 31.17 per cent.

　3. The most important feature in these Returns is that only one case of Piracy has been re- ported. The helmsman of one of the piratical Junks engaged in this affair was recognized, convicted and executed. It would, however, probably be imprudent for European sailing vessels to rely on this apparent immunity from attack, and to sail unarmed, until it is ascertained what will be the future pursuits of the men now connected with the Coolie Barracoons of a neighbouring Colony when they are thrown out of the employ in March next. Information has already reached me that one gang of these men is being formed close to our Kowloong boundary for the purposes of depredation.

4. In the Spring of 1873, Government decided to repress, as far as possible, abuses in relation to Chinese Emigration, and an Ordinance was passed constituting it (among other matters) an offence to decoy persons from the Colony for the purpose of Emigration. There has consequently been a large increase in the number of cases of Kidnapping reported; but the fact that so many as two fifths of the persons accused were discharged, shows that a large proportion of these reports were false. 5. The severity with which Street Gamblers have been punished has had the effect of causing a diminution in this class of Offence; and it would appear that wealthier Gamblers prefer the security of private Clubs, or to cross over to Chinese Kowloong rather than risk attending any secret Gambling House in this Colony.

　6. Since the construction of a Guard House at Hung Ham and of a Station at Yau-Ma-Ti, crime in British Kowloong has greatly diminished. But as there is reason to suppose that several Chinese frequent the latter village as a convenient place from which to smuggle Opium into China, and as these Smugglers are a dangerous class of people, I think it would be advisable to direct the Inspector in charge of the Station to board and examine Junks as is done at other outlying villages.

7. I find that boats to the number of 1086 are used solely as residences by Chinese. These boats are unlicensed, and are in every way a source of trouble to the Police. Not only are they convenient receptacles for stolen goods and places of refuge for bad characters, but they are the means of propagating and spreading disease.

　　　　8. It appears to me highly desirable to entirely prohibit the Chinese from using boats solely as residences, but if this is considered too extreme a measure, I would desire to suggest that they should be numbered and their occupants registered. The number of these boats is reported to be as follows:-

Sh?u-ki-wan,.

35 used as residences and fish lans.

POLICE FORCE.

　　　　9. The conduct of the Inspectors has continued to give me every satisfaction. Last year was, I believe, the first since the establishment of the Force during which no vacancy occurred in this rank from resignation or dismissal.

　　　　10. There have been a great number of changes in the body of the Force, no less than 158 men of all nationalities having been struck off the Roll from different causes. The expiration of the terms of five years' service of several Indians caused many vacancies in that portion of the Force. It became necessary to dismiss for misconduct three of the men (exclusive of one who absconded) who joined from Scotland, and three who joined from England.

　　　　11. The Government has authorized the purchase of bedding, &c., from the revenue of the Department. These articles were previously paid for from the Fine Fund, the limited resources of which prevented many articles being supplied which were desirable.

MISCELLANEOUS.

12. I have the honor to enclose the following Returns:-

　　　　　SIR, I have to submit this my fifth Annual Report on the Police Schools, viz., that for the year ending 31st December, 1873.

In fact, as a rule, they take a greater interest in learning, and study hard in private. Under those circumstances it was thought that two evenings a week was as much as could be reasonably demanded of them.

　　　　　6. The classes formed for the instruction of the Europeans in Chinese have, I regret to say, proved Classes for the instruction an entire failure.

　　　　　At first all Europeans had to attend, but this caused dissatisfaction. Many had not the slightest in- clination for, or intention of, acquiring the language; others, who were at first willing to attempt it, became discouraged when they found it was not so easily learned as they anticipated, so that when the attendance was made voluntary they fell off till the classes virtually ceased to exist. There are a few who still make Chinese a study, but they are very few indeed. Every inducement has been held out to the men of the Force to encourage them, but without avail.

7. The progress of the School on the whole is satisfactory.

for certificates of exemption from School.

8. At the Quarterly examination for certificates of exemption from School, held in December and Quarterly examinations January last, 52 men presented themselves, and of those only five were found up to the standard. This is a small number, but taking into consideration that examinations are novel to most of the men, and their being the first of the kind, I am not surprised. No doubt at each succeeding examination the number will be greater.

Subjects of quarterly examination.

No. 1 OF 1874.

An Ordinance enacted by the Governor of Hongkong, with the Advice of the Legislative Council thereof, to empower the Governor to exercise certain Powers under "The Merchant Shipping Act, 1873."

[5th March, 1874.]

W Governor of Honghong to those which are exercised under

THEREAS it is expedient to give similar Powers to the

Sections XII and XIII of "The Merchant Shipping Act, 1873," by the Board of Trade: Be it enacted by the Governor of Hongkong, with the Advice of the Legislative Council thereof, as follows:- Survey of Ships I. Where the Governor has received a Complaint or has Reason suspected of to believe that any British Ship is, by reason of the defective Con- being unsea-

dition of her Hull, Equipments, or Machinery, or by reason of worthy. [M. S. A. 73, overloading or improper Loading, unfit to proceed to Sea without Para. 12.] serious Danger to human Life, he may, if he thinks fit, appoint some competent Person or Persons to survey such Ship, and the Equipments, Machinery and Cargo thereof, and to report thereon to the Governor.

Any Person so appointed may, for the Purposes of such Survey, require the Unloading or Removal of any Cargo, Ballast, or Tackle and shall have all the Powers of an Inspector appointed under "The Merchant Shipping Act, 1854."

Any Person who (having Notice of the Intention to hold such Survey) wilfully does or causes to be done any Act by which the Person appointed to make such Survey is prevented from or obs- tructed in ascertaining the Condition of the Ship, her Equipments, Machinery and Cargo, shall be liable to a Penalty not exceeding Fifty Pounds.

The Governor may, if he thinks fit, order that any Ship be detained for the Purpose of being surveyed under this Section, and thereupon the Harbor Master may detain such Ship until her Release be ordered either by the Governor or by any Court to which an Appeal is given under this Ordinance.

:

Upon the Receipt of the Report of the Person making any such Survey, the Governor may, if in his Opinion the Ship cannot pro- ceed to Sea without serious Danger to human Life, make such further Order as he may think requisite as to the Detention of the Ship, or as to her Release, either absolutely or upon the Perform- ance of such Conditions with respect to the Execution of Repairs or Alterations, or the Unloading or Reloading of Cargo, as the Governor may impose. He may also, from Time to Time, vary or add to such Order.

A Copy of any such Order and of the Report upon which it was founded, and also of any Variation of, or Addition to, such Order, shall be delivered as soon as possible to the Owner or Master of the Ship to which it relates.

When a Ship has been detained under this Section, she shall not be released by reason of her British Register having been closed. Costs of Survey. II. If upon the Survey of a Ship under this Ordinance, she is re- [M. S. A. 73, ported to have been at the Time of the Survey, having regard to the Para. 13.]

Nature of the Service for which she was then intended, unfit to proceed to Sea without serious Danger to human Life, the Ex- penses incurred by the Governor in respect of the Survey shall be paid by the Owner of the Ship to the Governor and shall, without Prejudice to any other Remedy, be recoverable by him in the same Manner as Salvage is recoverable.

If upon such Survey the Ship is not reported to have been unfit. to proceed to Sea, having regard to the Nature of the Service for which she was intended, the Governor shall be liable to pay Com- pensation to any Person for any Loss or Damage which he may have sustained by reason of the Detention of the Ship for the Purpose of Survey, or otherwise in respect of such Survey.

Where a Complaint has been made to the Governor that a Ship is not fit to proceed to Sea, he may, if he thinks fit, before ordering a Survey of the Ship, require the Complainant to give or provide such Security as he may think sufficient for the Payment of the Costs and Expenses which he may incur in respect of the Survey of the Ship and of the Compensation which he may be rendered liable to pay for Loss or Damage caused by her Detention for the Purpose of such Survey, or otherwise in respect of such Survey.

Such Survey anew shall, if so required by the Governor or the Shipowner, be made in the Presence of any Person or Persons appointed by them respectively to attend at the Survey.

The Court to which such Application is made may make such Order as to the Detention or Release of the Ship, as to the Pay- ment of any Costs and Damages which may have been occasioned by her Detention, as to the Payment of the Expenses of the original Survey, and of the Survey anew, and otherwise as to the Payment of any Costs of, and incident to, the Application, as to the Court may seem just.

2. With no increase in the number of Government Schools last year, there was a large increase of scholars. The number enrolled was greater by 358 than in 1872, while the expenditure on the whole of the schools was only $290 more than for the previous year.

　　　　3. The Village Schools, a name which has been given to all the Government schools except the Central School, are 29 in number. Of these, 15 are supported solely by Government, and are under its complete control. The remaining 14 receive aid to the extent of $60 a year, the villagers undertaking to provide a school-house and to pay the half of the master's salary. These aided schools are subject to the usual inspection, and Government puts a veto on the appointment of a master, if he is not able to pass the required examination.

4. Such is the theory, but the practice does not quite accord with it. There is no room for doubt that, in most cases, the master has to pay the rent out of the small grant given to the school; and the moiety of his salary which the village undertakes to provide is as often unpaid as not. In many of the villages the people are extremely poor, and the master passes rich with his five dollars a month. On no other ground can much of the reluctance of the people to contribute towards the education of their children be explained: but, as they cling strongly to what they consider their right to select a master, they are ready to promise whatever may be required of them; and then, when the school has been fairly started, and the master tires of paying the rent, the villagers plead poverty and request an additional allowance to provide a school-house.

　　　　　　Unsatisfactory as this state of things is, no immediate remedy can be applied, without in- curring greater expense than the results would justify. If the schools were removed entirely from local control, they would, except perhaps in the more populous villages, be very badly attended, and, in some cases, they might be entirely deserted; for the parents, who have had little or no education,

No. 14.

J. GARDINER Austin, Colonial Secretary.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　HONGKONG, 21st February, 1874. SIR,-I have the honour to forward to you the Blue Book Returns and the Annual Report on Education for 1873.

2. With no increase in the number of Government Schools last year, there was a large increase of scholars. The number enrolled was greater by 358 than in 1872, while the expenditure on the whole of the schools was only $290 more than for the previous year.

　　　　3. The Village Schools, a name which has been given to all the Government schools except the Central School, are 29 in number.

These aided schools are subject to the usual inspection, and Government puts a veto on the appointment of a master, if he is not able to pass the required examination.

4. Such is the theory, but the practice does not quite accord with it. There is no room for doubt that, in most cases, the master has to pay the rent out of the small grant given to the school; and the moiety of his salary which the village undertakes to provide is as often unpaid as not.

　　　　　　Unsatisfactory as this state of things is, no immediate remedy can be applied, without in- curring greater expense than the results would justify. If the schools were removed entirely from local control, they would, except perhaps in the more populous villages, be very badly attended, and, in some cases, they might be entirely deserted; for the parents, who have had little or no education,

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 7TH MARCH, 1874.

do not see the necessity of it for their children, unless it can be had in a way which brings some present and direct advantage to themselves. On the principle, therefore, that it is better for the children to have some instruction than to have none, the schools should be maintained. By constant vigilance, improvements although necessarily slow cannot fail to be effected.

6. During the year, the number enrolled at these schools was 338, giving each an average of 24. The attendance is not very regular, the two harvests and other field work taking away the children for a considerable time. Towards the end of the year, too, the numbers rapidly decrease, for no reason that can be assigned except the fact that in these villages time is of very little account, and a month or two less at school in the course of the year is a matter of no importance. On the whole, however, there is considerable improvement on the state of things three years ago.

7. In last Report, the schools at Yau-m? T? and Little Hongkong were mentioned as having given rise to much annoyance. After the Chinese New Year, on a promise being made of a change for the better, the schools were continued as they were. At Yau-m? T?, it was soon discovered that the master and a number of the people were doing their utmost to prevent the erection of the Police Station in the village. The school was then taken away from local control, and is now one of the Government schools properly so called. This change was made in June, when the numbers fell at once from 22 to 8; and, although they afterwards reached 17 in November, the opposition made to the change by the former master and his friends kept the school in a very unsatisfactory state up to the end of the year. The present master, however, has had many promises of scholars after the New Year holidays, and if these promises are kept the Yau-m? T? school will be very differently reported on next year.

8. A new master was appointed to the school at Little Hongkong in the month of March, and the grant was continued, with the understanding that on the next complaint it would be permanently withdrawn. The villagers have, this time, got a man of a very different temper from that of the previous one, who would not bate a tittle of his rights. The present master makes no complaints, but it is currently reported and generally believed in Aberdeen and other adjacent places that, instead of receiving anything, he has to give monthly presents to certain of the villagers for the privilege of getting their children to teach. The school has improved considerably under the pre- sent master. In order of efficiency it was last on the list in 1872. It is now twentieth, but it will be long before it is in a very satisfactory state, if the people continue to do as they have been doing.

√998. 9. The number enrolled at the 15 schools which are entirely under Government control was

998, giving an average of 67 scholars to each. These schools are now getting into a very satisfactory condition, as far as numbers and regularity are concerned. They were long a source of much trouble. A school would be first on the list this year and at the bottom of it the next, without any very apparent reason for the change. No doubt the getting quit of many unqualified masters, and the fact that both masters and scholars now know better what is expected of them, have gone far to bring this about. These schools, ten years ago, were as unsatisfactory as the aided schools are now; and it is this which gives rise to the hope that before another decade is over an equally great change will have taken place in all the native schools in the Colony

10. The best of the 15 schools is the one at Stanley. The present master has the credit of making it what it is. It is a model of order and regularity, and is in high esteem in the village. The master, however, is very unwilling to remain. He is dissatisfied with the place, as it removes him so far from anything like congenial society. The people, too, do not seem to live together in great harmony, and he is very much afraid of getting mixed up with their disputes. It will be a serious matter for the school if he cannot be persuaded to remain.

11. The schools at Sai-ying P?n, Sh?ung W?n, T?i Wong Kung, W?ntsai and Sh?u k? W?n come next in order. At these, the attendance is very large and very regular. At no place has the advantage of a good master been so evident as at Sh?u-k? W?n. Three years ago, it had become a question whether any further attempt should be made to maintain a school in the village. When a H?kk? master was appointed, failure was attributed to the indifference of the people. When he was succeeded by a P?nti, similar excuses were never wanting. Under the present master, both P?ntis and H?kk?s avail themselves of the school, and express themselves as highly satisfied. If the people were more straightforward when anything is really amiss with a school, salutary changes would be effected more rapidly; but, as a rule, they are studiously silent until their information is no longer of any use.

12. The change at Aberdeen, recommended last year, has now been carried into effect. The best scholar at the Central School was appointed master. English is taught in the forenoon and Chinese in the afternoon. Nothing more was attempted than reading, writing and arithmetic, and possibly little more may be effected during the present year. The little, however, that was attempted was well done; and, taking all things into consideration, the examination at the end of the year was sufficiently satisfactory.

13. The change took place in March, and before the end of the month, 18 scholars were enrolled. They came in very gradually. The new r?gime was not so popular as some expected; but it was much better that the school should gradually make its way, than be frequented at first and ultimately deserted. The attendance was very regular for six months; but, after that, it declined rapidly, till in November there were only seven scholars. The master got disheartened and insisted on re-

1

105

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 7TH MARCH, 1874.

　　　signing. There was much difficulty in persuading him to stay. The reason given for withdrawing the boys was that, as they had failed to learn to speak English in six months, there was no hope of their ever being able to do so. It was thus the immediate prospect of turning a knowledge of English to practical account that induced the parents to send their children. Mere mental im- provement was an element in the calculation which it never occurred to them to include. Not- withstanding this, the number of scholars rose to 18 again in December, and 17 were present on the examination day. Nothing startling was ever expected from the change, and years may elapse before much good is done, but in its ultimate success there need be no want of confidence. Prejudices are not removed in a year, and Chinese prejudice in favour of their own system of education is too firmly rooted to be uptorn by any sudden effort.

14. The Central School has reached its culmination as regards numbers and efficiency if the building and the teaching staff remain as the are. It might have been nearer the truth to have said that it had already begun to decline, for it is impossible that only three English masters can do justice to so many scholars. During the year, 502 were enrolled. The highest attendance was 364, the lowest 308. The average number enrolled during the twelve months was 349, and the average attendance for the same period was 329. This is very much in advance of previous years, but here advancement must stop for the present, simply from want of room.

5. There is no reason to suppose that any difficulty will be made about the appointment of an additional master, and that in itself will be of the greatest possible advantage to the school. A new building is a very different matter; but, as the Government is fully alive to the inadequacy of the present accommodation and to the desirability of having as early as possible a school worthy of the name, it is sufficient to record the want here, that there may be no chance of its being lost sight af. On these two points, that of a new master and a new school, a special report was made in July last. It is not necessary, therefore, to go into the details again.

　　　　　16. In the month of May last, the sum of $3,000 was handed over to Trustees by the members of the late Morrison Education Society to found a Scholarship at this school Up to the present time, the fund has been lying idle, as the Government has been obliged to decline the scholarship on the terms offered by the majority of the Trustees. Whether the school will ultimately enjoy the benefit of the scholarship, unfettered by conditions inconsistent with the system on which it is con- ducted, is a question which cannot be much longer delayed. A legal decision on the point at issue seems to be the only practical solution of the difficulty, and such a decision will have to be obtained soon, if no arrangement can be made in the meantime.

　　　　　17. The difficulty which has arisen in this matter points to recent discussions on the constitution of the school and to the dissatisfaction which has been expressed by some at what they are pleased to call its "godless" character. Were any good likely to accrue from a re-opening of the discussion, or were it at all likely that a statement of the case would carry conviction to the minds of those who object to the school, the question would be discussed here, at the risk of much repetition; but the position which has been taken up with regard to religious teaching has been so often reviewed in these annual reports, and as often challenged by fresh critics, that it would be a futile task to go over the ground again. Theoretically right or theoretically wrong, the position of the Government with regard to education is perfectly intelligible, and has been found to be eminently practical. It is simply an endeavour to meet, as far as can possibly be done, every denomination, Christian and Pagan, on common ground; and a determination to refrain from wounding the susceptibilities of any one on the point of all points on which men are most susceptible. If a precise statement cannot be given of the exact spot on which all are thus met, it does not follow that no such meeting-place has been found. To wait till a theory has been perfected, before action is taken in a matter of vital importance to the well being of the colony as well as of individuals, is to follow the example of Rusticus in making no effort to wade or swim the stream, but contenting himself with waiting on the bank until all the water shall have run down.

　　　　18. In the month of April last, the Legislative Council approved of a scheme for the better promotion of elementary education by assisting denominational and other schools on the well-known system of Grants-in-aid. The scheme as applied to the Colony differs in no essential particular from that in operation elsewhere. Certain modifications had, of course, to be made to suit the peculiar necessities of the place, but, beyond that, the scheme contains nothing new or unusual. Its purport may be given in a single sentence. All schools which devote four hours a day to secular instruction may devote the other school hours to religious instruction; and for the actual results of the secular instruction, as ascertained by examination, Government allows a certain fixed sum for each scholar who reaches a certain standard of scholarship. That is virtually the whole scheme; and it has met with the approval of all denominations, Catholic and Protestant alike.

19. During the past year, the following schools applied for Grants:-St. Saviour's Day School (Catholic), St. Stephen's School (Church of England), Victoria Boys' School (Undenominational), W?ntsai Chapel School (London Mission), T'?i-p'ing Sh?n Chapel School (London Mission), and the Baxter Vernacular Girls' Schools (Church of England). St. Saviour's School, being the first to make application, had to comply with the provisions of the scheme in their entirety. The others applied later and, with the exception of the last, were allowed half the values of the standards for those scholars who had attended 100 times. The Baxter Vernacular Schools, not having applied till

106

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 7TH MARCH, 1874.

September, were allowed two-fifths of the values of the standards for 80 attendances. These ar- rangements were made to enable the scheme to be brought into operation at once, and to get the returns made up at the end of the year.

was 25.

20. St. Saviour's School, under the Management of the Revd. Father PALMER, was attended during the year by 110 scholars, principally Portuguese, but including English and other nation- alities as well. The average monthly enrolment was 64, and the daily attendance varied from 44 to 62. The number presented for examination, that is, all who had attended 200 times and upwards, Of these 16 passed and 9 failed. The grant to the school amounted $64. This must not be taken as a measure of what the school can do, and will do in the future; although, even as a first examination, it is not by any means satisfactory, and no one feels this more than the manager and teacher. Two points need careful looking to in this school. There must be a stricter discipline in the way of attendance, and the teaching power must be increased, before the school can take a high rank among the educational institutions of the Colony. In all other points it leaves little to be de- sired. The teacher is able and energetic, but he cannot possibly do justice to such a large school single- handed. A very favourable change has recently been made in the school books, which were formerly by far too difficult. All the other appliances are ample and in excellent order.

21. St. Stephen's School under the Management of the Revd. A. B. HUTCHINSON was only recently established and is solely for Chinese boys. The number of scholars for the year was 75, the average monthly enrolment being 61, and the daily attendance varying from 40 to 53. On the examination day 29 scholars were examined, of whom only four failed. A larger number would have been presented, if the examination had taken place earlier. Many of the boys had left for their native villages on the approach of the Chinese New Year. This difficulty will be obviated in future either by holding the examination earlier, or by insisting on the boys remaining until within a fort- night of the new year. The school is doing

The school is doing much good in a very poor locality of the city. The teacher has his work at heart and labours faithfully. The sum gained by the school was $33. This will be very much improved upon next year, when the full number of attendances is made up, and full values given for passes. It is also to be noted that the third was the highest standard under which scholars were presented. As the school advances, higher standards will be reached, and a more liberal sum will thus be at the manager's disposal for its support and extension.

22. W?ntsai and T'?i-p'ing Sh?n Chapel Schools for Chinese boys are under the Management of the Revd. Dr. EITEL. At the former, 54 scholars were enrolled during the year. The average monthly enrolment was 54, and the daily attendance varied from 48 to 52. The number examined was 42, and of these 19 passed very satisfactorily. Scholars were presented under all the six standards, which accounts for the greater number of failures. T'?i-p'ing Sh?n Chapel School was attended by 42 scholars. The monthly average was 37, and the daily attendance varied from 31 to 35. At this school 28 were presented for examination under the first five standards. There were 14 failures. The sum gained by the two schools amounted to $110.50. A very much higher pro- portion of passes could have been obtained at these two schools, if the scholars had been ranged, as it was perfectly competent for the manager to do, under lower standards. Having, however, full confidence in the teachers, he classified.the scholars as has been stated, and the result showed that his confidence was not misplaced. The teachers are able, hard working men. They were fully aware of the extent to which the credit of the schools depended on their exertions, and they exerted themselves accordingly. The schools reflect great credit on masters and manager.

A

23. The Baxter Vernacular Girls' Schools under the Management of the Revd. A. B. HUTCHINSON, are three in number, but for the purposes of the Grant-in-aid scheme they are considered as one. This arrangement was necessary because the schools, taken singly, could not have reached the average attendance qualifying each of them for a grant; and, in order to meet, as far as possible, the difficulties attending female education here, and the reluctance of parents to send girls any but the shortest distance from home, the manager thought it advisable to have three schools in various parts of the city, to secure as large an attendance as possible. The three schools were, therefore, taken as three separate class-rooms, the scholars being classified as if belonging to one school; and as such they will be here spoken of. The total attendance for the year was 133. The average monthly enrolment was 72, and the daily attendance varied from 42 to 48. On the examination day 37 scholars were presented under the first three standards. Of these 28 passed and 9 failed. There were also 32 passes in plain needlework. The sum paid to the school amounted to $57.60. The school is solely for Chinese girls. The average age is 10, the extremes being 7 and 16. The school is well conducted, well superintended and well taught. The education given is solely in the Chinese language, a fact to which undue prominence cannot be given. Hitherto, the educating of Chinese girls in English has been one of the most disastrous experiments which the Colony has ever witnessed. 24. The Victoria Boys' School is under the. Management of the Honourable P. RYRIE. The number enrolled in 1873 was 28; but, as the average daily attendance, for the last six months, during which the school came under the provisions of the scheme, did not amount to the minimum of 20, the school was not examined. During the present year, the numbers have increased, and the school will no doubt be able to qualify itself for a grant. It was only opened in 1873, and being at present self-supporting, it has been much hampered in many ways, the fees being insufficient to provide a large school-room in a central locality. It is attended principally by Portuguese, but it is open to

　　all who choose to avail themselves of it. The education given is solely an English one; and, judging from the results of several inspections, the school is well taught and well conducted.

　　　　25. Adding the numbers taught at these six schools to the numbers taught in the Government schools, the total number of scholars subject to Government inspection in 1873 was 2280. This, with an allowance of 1220 for the numbers attending all other schools, would bring the number of school children in the Colony up to 3500 This is very far short of the number who should be at school; but comparing the results with those of previous years, there is much cause for satisfaction and great encouragement to perseverance.

　　　　26. One point alone now remains to be noticed. When the Grant-in-aid scheme was proposed, great difficulty was felt in applying it to Chinese schools, from the want of a graduated series of school books containing lessons on the model of those in use in the West. A committee was appointed by the Government to compile such a series, and two school books are nearly ready for publication. The remainder will in all probability be finished within the next twelve months. The use of these books will be entirely optional. As long as a school can impart the requisite amount of secular instruction it will be free to use any school books its manager may choose to select; but there can be little doubt that, if the undertaking is at all successful, the new series will ultimately find its way into all the Chinese schools in the Colony, with perhaps a very few exceptions. It will supply a want which is very much felt by all who have the conduct of native schools.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

The Honourable J. GARDINER AUSTIN,

　　　　　　I. The following Regulations apply to all Inspectors, Sergeants, Sergeant Interpreters, and Constables of the Police Force who have joined since 24th September, 1869; excepting those who have enlisted under special agreement.

　　　　　　II. Subject to the exceptions and provisions hereinafter contained, a Pension will be granted to any Member of the Force, who has served ten years, at the rate of 15/60ths of the Annual pay of his rank, provided he shall have been in receipt of the same for at least three years; otherwise, the Pension shall be calculated upon the average amount of pay received by such person during the three years next preceding the commencement of such Pension. Further, for every full and complete year's service after ten years, an addition to the Annual Pension of 1/60th part shall be made for each additional year of such service.

III. All Pensions granted shall be payable in Hongkong or London, or in the principal towns of British India.

IV. Full Pensions will be granted only on the Candidates' conduct having been uniformly good. V. Should the Candidate's conduct not have been uniformly good, a modified Pension, or Superannuation Allowance will be granted. Should his conduct have been decidedly bad, no Pension or Superannuation Allowance will be paid.

　　　　　　VI. A Superannuation Allowance in lieu of a Pension calculated at five times the amount of the Annual Pension may be granted if the applicant will be unable to draw his Pension at any of the places before mentioned, or on the application of the Grantee, at the discretion of His Excellency The Governor.

　　　　　　VII. If any person receiving a Pension under these Regulations should be appointed to fill any Office in any Public Department, such Pension shall cease to be paid for any period subsequent to such appointment if the annual amount of the profits of the Office to which he shall be appointed shall be equal to those of the Office formerly held by him; and in case it shall not be equal to those of his former Office, then no more of such Pension shall be paid to him than what with the Salary of his new appointment shall be equal to the profits of his former Office.

VIII. A Pension, or Retiring Allowance is granted only upon the condition that it becomes forfeited, and may be withdrawn by His Excellency the Governor, in any of the following cases:-

(a.) On the conviction of the Grantee for any indictable Offence.

SIR, I have the honor to forward to you, for submission to the view of His Excellency the Governor, the Report of the Fire Brigade for the months of January and February last.

A Parade and Inspection of the Volunteer and Government_Brigades took place on the 16th January. The assembly was at the Cross Roads, and thence the Engines were taken to the Praya and worked from the sea. The Steam Engine of the "Hongkong Fire Insurance Company" and the Hand Engines of the "Chinese Associations" were present: all were found to be in excellent order. An Inspection of the Government Brigade Engines, Stores, and Equipment, was made on the 31st January: all were found clean and in order.

A Parade and Inspection of the Volunteer and Government Brigades was held on the 28th February. The Fire Engines, including three of "Chinese Associations," were taken to the Praya and worked from the sea: all were found in good order.

　　　The following Annual Report of the Hongkong General Post Office for the Year 1873, is published for general information.

By Command,

J. GARDINER AUSTIN, Colonial Secretary.

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 21st March, 1874.

No. 11.

GENERAL POST OFFICE,

VICTORIA, HONGKONG, 19th March, 1874. SIR,-I have the honor to present to His Excellency Governor SIR ARTHUR Edward Kennedy, K.C.M.G., C.B., the Fourteenth Annual Report on the Post Office, being that for the year 1873.

　　　2. The year 1873 was characterized by a general dullness in Trade, and the Department has not escaped the consequent effect upon its revenue.

3. The events and alterations which are worthy of note are as follows, viz. :-

　　　4. The arrangement referred to in my last Annual Report, paragraph 5, for sending correspon- dence paid or unpaid between this Office and Austria, and the several Continental States, vi? Trieste, by means of the British Mail Packets has been completed.

　　　5. The French Mail Packets continue to afford the best means of transmitting Mails to and from the Australian Colonies and New Zealand vi? Point de Galle, from whence they are carried by Packets under contract with the Victorian Government, the Mails for Queensland are however now forwarded vi? Singapore by a line of Steamers through Torres' Straits, under Contract with the Queensland Government.

6. A line of British Mail Contract Packets has been established between Aden and Zanzibar, and thence to the Cape of Good Hope, calling at certain Ports on the Eastern Coast of Africa, and at Natal, which affords a regular means of conveyance of correspondence from Hongkong for the foreign ports on the East African Coast as well as for Natal and the Cape Colony, and by the connecting line, to St. Helena and Ascension also, at a reduced rate of postage.

　　　7. The correspondence forwarded to London in private ship Mails, vi? Suez and Brindisi, is still inconsiderable, although in one instance, viz., the private ship mail sent by the Steamer Glaucus, which was despatched from Hongkong on the 23rd January, was delivered in London on the 3rd March, the day upon which the Mail despatched from Hongkong by the Contract Packet Sumatra on the same date was delivered in London, and the Ulysses' Mail which was despatched from Hongkong on the 27th May, was delivered in London on the 8th July, the date upon which the Travancore's Mail which was despatched on the 24th of May was delivered; the Travancore however met with an accident. The shortest time in which a private ship Mail from Hongkong, was delivered in London was 40 days, and the longest 58 days. No private ship Mails, were sent from the United Kingdom to China via Brindisi during the year.

8. There has been no instance of a Mail having been lost, such as was reported in the year 1872. The British Contract Packet Madras which left Hongkong on the 1st September with the Mails for Yokohama struck on a sunken rock off Swatow on the following day, and had to put into that Port, and the Bombay was despatched from Hongkong on the evening of the 4th September for Swatow and proceeded to Yokohama, with the Madras's Mails.

9. The question of establishing a Money Order system between Hongkong and China on the one side, and Saigon and Cambogia on the other has been fully considered; but for the reasons set forth in my Report of 30th August, No. 31, it was not deemed expedient to carry the project into effect.

10. The proposition to erect a Post Office at Shanghae in lieu of paying high rent has received consideration, and the Home Government having given at a peppercorn rent, the plot of ground referred to in my Report of the tour of inspection of the Postal Agencies in China and Japan, dated 20th July 1871, No. 43, Mr. BoYCE, the Government Surveyor in charge of Legation and Consular Buildings in China and Japan, stationed at Shanghae, has received instructions to prepare the ne- cessary plans, &c., an arrangement which, as I then shewed, will be more economical than that now existing.

11. The following statement shews a decrease in the Gross Revenue of 1873, as compared with 1872, amounting to $11,961.56; of which $3,969.46 is apportioned to the Imperial Post Office and $7,992.10 to the Colonial Government.

　　28. The following returns shew that the average time occupied in conveying the Mails from Home has been about the same in 1873 as it was in 1872, by the British Packets, and that by the French Packets the average time with the Mails from Home, was a little more in 1873 than it was in 1872. The shortest time in which a Mail was delivered in Hongkong from London by British Packet via Brindisi last year was 37 days, and the shortest time in which a Mail was delivered in Hongkong by French Packet vid Marseilles last year was 38 days. As regards the Homeward Mails, two Mails sent from Hongkong by French Packet vid Marseilles were delivered in London in 35 days, and three in 36 days, whilst by the British Packets via Brindisi the quickest time occupied was 39 days on four occasions.

I have the honor to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient Servant,

The Honorable J. GARDINER AUSTIN,

Colonial Secretary,

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.

FINDING OF THE COURT.

J. GARDINER AUSTIN, Colonial Secretary.

First. We find that the British Steam-ship Sunfoo, Official Number 65,572, of London,-Master JAMES MCKENZIE, number of whose Certificate of Competency is 2,840,-was totally lost on Reef Island, about 27 Miles S.S.W. of Hongkong, at 7.40 P.M. of the tenth day of March, 1874, 'whilst on a voyage from Singapore to Hongkong.

·Second.--We find that the Ship was carefully navigated up to about 6.30 P.M. of the tenth instant, when she met with foggy weather. We are of opinion, that, when thick weather and the night had set in, the Ship's head should have been put off the land; or she should have been anchored; and, it is owing to the non-adoption of either of these courses that the Ship was lost.

Third. We find that the use of the lead was neglected.

　　　　　After due consideration of the above finding, we hereby direct that the Certificate of Competency of JAMES MCKENZIE, No. 2,840, be suspended for three months.

　　　　　We are of opinion that the measures taken by the Master and Officers subsequent to the wreck, reflect great credit on them.

Given under our Hands at Hongkong, this Twentieth day of March, 1874.

Third. We find that the use of the lead was neglected.

　　　　　After due consideration of the above finding, we hereby direct that the Certificate of Competency of JAMES MCKENZIE, No. 2,840, be suspended for three months.

　　　　　We are of opinion that the measures taken by the Master and Officers subsequent to the wreck, reflect great credit on them.

Given under our Hands at Hongkong, this Twentieth day of March, 1874.

SHIPPING.

???

1. There is a decrease in the number of vessels arriving at this Port during the year caused by the general stagnation of trade which seems to have prevailed almost everywhere, and Hongkong can scarcely expect to be freed from its effects.

2. Under the heading of Shipping, the Junk trade is not considered, each class being of sufficient importance to be separately treated. It will therefore be seen that, deducting native craft from the totals of all vessels, there is a decrease as compared with 1872 of 2.31 per cent in the number of vessels and of 7.17 per cent in tonnage on the arrivals in 1872. The decrease is not so great as would be expected, if we only judge by the few vessels which are now lying in the harbor in comparison with the number which used to be seen there in former years. The paucity of vessels now would lead many people to suppose that the trade of the place was dying out. But this is not so. Steam- ships have superseded sailing vessels to such an extent that more constant action is necessitated than used to obtain in former years when sailing vessels arrived, discharged their cargo and crews, and were content to wait in a port where no dues were charged until something worth having turned up either here or elsewhere.

　　　　　3. The old state of things has entirely changed, and competition, so valuable to the general good, is inciting ship-owners and merchants to procure vessels with high rates of speed, good carrying capacity, and moderate expenditure of fuel.

4. Of the 2,327 foreign vessels arrived during the year, 67.8 per cent are propelled by steam power; and 32.2 per cent are sailing vessels, exhibiting a large disproportion of the latter as com- pared with the carrying trade in this class of vessels in former years. The carrying capacity of the 1,579 steamers is thus divided amongst the various nationalities, 76.64 per cent of tonnage is British; 10.54 per cent French; 6.65 per cent American; 2.91 per cent German; and 1.25 per cent Spanish. The remaining 2.01 per cent is made up of vessels of other nationalities, amongst whom the Chinese are beginning to lay claim to a share of the foreign trade of the Colony.

5. In the returns for the year, the vessels trading with Saigon and ports to the Southward are now entered under the head of Cochin China instead of entering them as formerly under the erroneous heading of Coast of China; so that although the Coast of China trade shows a large decrease, it is not so great as at first sight appears.

6. The same remark applies to a change that has been made with regard to the steamers of the Messageries Maritimes. They have hitherto been returned under India and Singapore but are now transferred to Continent of Europe, that being the place of original departure, instead of Singapore which was merely a port of call. The vessels belonging to the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company whose original port of starting is England are returned as coming from there, although they take in Indian cargoes en route to China which do not appear.

7. Notwithstanding that the number of vessels from Great Britain is 49 less than arrived in 1872, the decrease in carrying capacity is only 9,180 tons, showing the much larger class of vessel employed in the trade between the two places.

8. The lighthouses in course of erection at Cape d'Aguilar, Cape Collinson and Green Island will be completed, and the lights in full operation, before the close of 1874.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　This will be a great boon to Captains of ships who now frequently have to lie off during the night for the want of well defined marks to show them their position.

JUNK TRADE.

　　　　　　9. The Junk trade has shared the same fate as has the trade in foreign bottoms, but it is surprising that the trade keeps up at all seeing the manner in which the Chinese Authorities stationed at the outlets of the port harass the trader. As this question is the subject of enquiry by a Com- mission, I advert to it but slightly in this Report.

138

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 28TH MARCH, 1874.

10. The decrease in the Junk trade with Macao and the Ports to the North-eastward, amounts to 82,212 tons, of which 42 per cent is with the former port and 58 per cent with the Coast ports.

11. The accompanying Diagram will show that the Junk trade for 1873 is about on a par with what it was in 1871. I trust it may fall no lower, but strong measures are being adopted by the Cantonese with a view to withdrawing it from the Colony.

EMIGRATION.

12. Emigration on the whole to Countries other than China has increased by 1,047 persons. In the early part of 1873, there was a large demand for labour in California and several steamers in addition to those of the Pacific Mail line were laid on to meet this.

13. It is to be regretted that the laws controlling the conveyance of Chinese to the United States from British Possessions are not assimilated. As it is, vessels leave here with their number of passengers as prescribed by the Chinese Passengers' Act of 1855; but on arrival at a port in the United States the vessels are remeasured and if they are found to have more passengers on board than the United States' laws allow, the Masters of the ships are liable to heavy penalties. These difficulties lead to much inconvenience which by an assimilation of laws might be avoided.

14. Much pains have been taken in endeavouring to prevent the export of young females from here who are in many instances sold for improper purposes. With this object in view, girls who have not been sufficiently able to explain their reasons for emigrating have not been permitted to proceed. But it has been found that in several instances vessels going to Singapore and other places, without coming within the meaning of the Chinese Passengers' Act, have taken twenty of the very class of persons whom this and the Registrar General's Departments have been endeavouring to protect.

15. The Government of the neighbouring Colony of Macao have lately issued stringent orders prohibiting the further Emigration of Chinese from there under contracts of service; and they have also established new Regulations by which none but free Emigrants shall leave Macao, Emigration under Contract to Portuguese Possesions however is permitted, the Government being in a position to overlook the labourers on arrival at their destination.

REGISTRY OF SHIPPING.

16. Twenty-three new vessels have been registered and twenty-five vessels have had their registers cancelled during the year. These, with a few transactions such as Mortgages, &c., is a small amount of work for the whole Registry of Hongkong, China and Japan.

17. With so little work in this branch of the Department it seems strange that it should be found necessary to make Shanghai a port of registry. Instead of the whole of the open ports in China and Japan performing their ship registry through Hongkong; they will under the contemplated change have to perform it through Shanghai, which appears a questionable advantage, seeing how far Canton, Swatow, Amoy and the Japanese ports are from that port.

18. The amount of fees collected under this head for the year is $491.

?

MARINE MAGISTRATE'S COURT.

19. There are fifty-one per cent. fewer cases than appeared in 1872. This is partly due to the shortened period of the stay of ships in port and to the smaller number of vessels arriving; as also in part, to the new system of hard labor introduced into the Gaol.

EXAMINATIONS FOR THE POSTS OF MASTERS AND MATES,

UNDER ORDINANCE No. 17 OF 1860.

　20. Of forty-five applicants under this Ordinance, thirty-six obtained Certificates and nine failed in showing themselves qualified.

MARINE COURTS, UNDER ORDINANCE No. 11 OF 1860.

21. Three of these Courts have been held during the year.

　22. One to enquire into the circumstances attending the casualty to the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company's ship Bokhara, which struck on a sunken and unknown rock in the fairway of vessels navigating the Tathong Channel.

　23. One into the circumstances attending an accident which happened to the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company's ship Madras when off the Southeast end of Namoa Island.

　24. The third enquiry was into the circumstances attending the alleged loss of life on board the Steam-ship Glenlyon while on a voyage from Singapore to Hongkong.

SEAMEN.

25. 6,046 seamen were legally discharged, and 6,154 seamen were shipped during the year.

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.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.

The following Annual Report of the Colonial Surgeon, with Returns annexed, for the Year 1873, is published for general information.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 2nd April, 1874.

J. GARDINER AUSTIN, Colonial Secretary.

VICTORIA, HONGKONG, 9th March, 1874. SIR,-I have the honor to forward my Annual Report for the year 1873, concerning the health of the Colony and the working of the different establishments under my supervision,

In making out this Report, which contains the usual Tables compiled from observations made during the past year on the health of the Colony, I must premise that I have to depend in a great measure on information received from others who have kindly assisted me, owing to my late arrival in the Colony; still there are some things on which even my limited experience enables me to speak strongly, and which require little time for any one to see the necessity of reforming.

POLICE.

Table I. shows the admissions and deaths of Police in Hospital during the past year. The health of the Police, all things considered, has been fairly good, and sickness is less in proportion to the strength of the force than last year, though the mortality is greater.

The deaths have been chiefly among the Indian portion of the force and the result, in most cases, of Diarrhoea in men who have suffered much from fever and whose spleens were excessively diseased. The native clothing which they prefer to wear when off duty is quite unsuited to this climate and renders them specially liable to attacks of diseases of the bowels from the effects of cold.

　　Very few of the Indian recruits come up to the standard required of thirty-six inches girth of chest, indeed most of them are very considerably below that, more attention seems to be paid to length than breadth the result is long weedy looking men wanting in muscular development and activity. It would also be better, I think, that Indians should arrive here at the beginning of or in the hot season than in the cold, which is more variable and severe than they are accustomed to.

　　Table II. shows the strength of the force as compared with the sickness and mortality. The principal cause of admissions was Diarrhoea, Simple Continued Fever, a few severe cases of Remittent Fever, and Chest Diseases.

TROOPS.

　　Table III. gives the strength, sickness and mortality of the Troops in Hongkong in 1873. The rate of sickness and the mortality have greatly diminished when compared with 1872.

GOVERNMENT CIVIL HOSPITAL.

　　The present building with all possible care cannot last many years longer, the floors are at present a long way off what those of a Hospital should be and the building is not worth the repairs it requires, all this setting aside the unsuitableness of the building for a Hospital at all, for which it was never designed.

　　That things are no worse than they are is due to the able supervision, activity and care of its Superintendent, Dr. WHARRY, of whose knowledge and performance of his arduous duties, I can speak with great pleasure. The Hospital Subordinates too deserve praise and I do not think their value in

The following Annual Report of the Colonial Surgeon, with Returns annexed, for the Year 1873, is published for general information.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 2nd April, 1874.

J. GARDINER AUSTIN, Colonial Secretary.

VICTORIA, HONGKONG, 9th March, 1874. SIR,-I have the honor to forward my Annual Report for the year 1873, concerning the health of the Colony and the working of the different establishments under my supervision,

In making out this Report, which contains the usual Tables compiled from observations made during the past year on the health of the Colony, I must premise that I have to depend in a great measure on information received from others who have kindly assisted me, owing to my late arrival in the Colony; still there are some things on which even my limited experience enables me to speak strongly, and which require little time for any one to see the necessity of reforming.

POLICE.

Table I. shows the admissions and deaths of Police in Hospital during the past year. The health of the Police, all things considered, has been fairly good, and sickness is less in proportion to the strength of the force than last year, though the mortality is greater.

The deaths have been chiefly among the Indian portion of the force and the result, in most cases, of Diarrhoea in men who have suffered much from fever and whose spleens were excessively diseased. The native clothing which they prefer to wear when off duty is quite unsuited to this climate and renders them specially liable to attacks of diseases of the bowels from the effects of cold.

　　Very few of the Indian recruits come up to the standard required of thirty-six inches girth of chest, indeed most of them are very considerably below that, more attention seems to be paid to length than breadth the result is long weedy looking men wanting in muscular development and activity. It would also be better, I think, that Indians should arrive here at the beginning of or in the hot season than in the cold, which is more variable and severe than they are accustomed to.

　　Table II. shows the strength of the force as compared with the sickness and mortality. The principal cause of admissions was Diarrhoea, Simple Continued Fever, a few severe cases of Remittent Fever, and Chest Diseases.

TROOPS.

　　Table III. gives the strength, sickness and mortality of the Troops in Hongkong in 1873. The rate of sickness and the mortality have greatly diminished when compared with 1872.

GOVERNMENT CIVIL HOSPITAL.

　　The present building with all possible care cannot last many years longer, the floors are at present a long way off what those of a Hospital should be and the building is not worth the repairs it requires, all this setting aside the unsuitableness of the building for a Hospital at all, for which it was never designed.

　　That things are no worse than they are is due to the able supervision, activity and care of its Superintendent, Dr. WHARRY, of whose knowledge and performance of his arduous duties, I can speak with great pleasure. The Hospital Subordinates too deserve praise and I do not think their value in

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 4TH APRIL, 1874.

　　　some cases is sufficiently well understood. One of the European Wardmasters has hardly been in the post a year the other just appointed. It is greatly to be desired in the interest of the Institution that there should be as few changes as possible in these posts, it is impossible to get men that are trained without going to great expense in bringing them out from home and it takes more than months to train them. Any one who has suffered from sickness and injury will readily understand the difference between the cool and gentle firmness of the handling of a trained nurse and the nervous and clumsy roughness of an inexperienced one which habit alone can overcome, and it is for this and an hundred reasons as little change as possible should be made among this class of employ?s. Their duties are not only arduous and trying to the nerves, but they often confine the Wardmaster to the building for days together and this under their employment by no means agreeable to them, it is therefore greatly to be desired that their services should be thoroughly well understood and ap- preciated. In especial I may mention with praise the services of the Chinese Wardmaster, A Lok, a servant of nearly ten years standing, quiet and well behaved, a very good Interpreter, a skilful dresser and of great assistance in the post mortem room; he deserves encouragement.

　　　　　I do not hesitate to say that, in my opinion, the pay of the Wardmasters is too low when the climate, the confinement to the Hospital, the comparison of the pay in England of men holding similar situations and also of men of similar grade in other employs here is taken into consideration. The European Wardmasters are very much worse off in the duties they have to perform than Inspectors of Police, their posts are quite as responsible, for ignorance or carelessness on their parts, means death or injury to patients and therefere they should not be worse paid.

　　　　　The number of the admissions to the Hospital has somewhat increased during the last half of the year owing to the closing of the Seamen's Hospital, but this increase has not been so great as might have been anticipated, partly owing to the number of seamen in port being fewer and perhaps also partly to the general health being better than in the last few years.

　　　　　Nine hundred and fifty-two persons were admitted during the last twelve months; of these, fourteen were in a dying condition from injury or previous sickness and only survived a few hours.

　　　　　Of the nine hundred and thirty-eight treated, it will be seen from Table IV, that one hundred and twenty-five were venerial cases, deducting these and. the Police admissions from the total, a remainder of four hundred and four is left to represent the number of sick seamen, destitutes, and paying patients admitted.

　　　　　The principal diseases for which patients were admitted, according to Table IV, are Simple, Con- tinued and Intermittent Fevers, Diarrhoea, and Diseases of the Chest.

　　　　　In July, during ten days of continued drought, no wind, and a maximum temperature in the sun of 131°, three fatal cases of Remittent Fever occurred, all of them dying within three days of ad- mission apparently utterly prostrated from the outset of the disease. In August and September, during the prevalence of Cholera in the Siamese ports and Straits Settlements, three fatal cases of Choleraic Diarrhoea occurred, two were Indian Constables and one a colored seaman.

+

A number of cases of Low Continued Fever, some resembling Typhus others having many of the characteristics of Typhoid Fever, were admitted from the brothels, all were without a doubt.en- gendered by the bad sanitary condition of the houses. This I have already made a subject of special Report and with improved condition of these houses and those of the lower classes, there would be unquestionably a considerable diminution of this class of cases. But that this type of disease is gradually assuming a severer form and steadily and surely increasing in Hongkong there is no doubt, as is shown on inspection of. the Tables of previous Annual Reports; this most decidedly indicates a necessity of improvement in the drainage of the town and of regulations concerning the sanitary condition of the houses of the lower classes whose filthy habits are well known, or in future years these plagues will be endemic in the Colony, and probably end in an epidemic of unenviable renown. The mortality notwithstanding the increase in the number of admissions is considerably less. than that of the preceding year. This is a great matter of congratulation considering the general mixture of diseases in the Hospital, which the limited space and peculiar design of the building render unavoidable.

The treatment of diseases of the respiratory organs is especially unsatisfactory, owing to the defective accommodation, and many of the cases admitted are both aggravated and prolonged on that

account.

A number of this class of cases occur every year among the Police, and it is not surprising that complaints should arise on this head. The Seamen too contrast their present accommodation with what they were accustomed to at East Point and not to the advantage of the Civil Hospital.

In November, ten men were addmitted from the American Ship Meron, all suffering from Scurvy, the disease in some having reached an advanced stage. This was, I believe, made a matter of enquiry by the American Consul.

No deaths from Small Pox occurred among Europeans in the Colony, and only a few cases were reported among Chinese at the beginning of the year, none in the latter months.

A number of the Chinese male and female have voluntarily applied for advice at the Civil Hospital and some have come for operation.

The number of dead bodies brought to the Hospital for examination during the twelve months was one hundred and thirty-one, eight of them were Europeans and one a Colored person.

158

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 4TH APRIL, 1874.

　The amount received during the year as shown in the Hospital books on account of paying patients is $2,440.08 as compared with the $929.57, received the preceding year. This does not include the Seamen sent by the Harbor Master, whose expenses are paid directly into the Treasury by him and not through the Hospital, nor does it include, Police ?xpenses.

　I would here remark that I think that the Seamen belonging to the naval services of other Governments should not be charged $1 per diem, the nominal charge made for Seamen belonging to the merchant services, but that their Governments should defray their actual cost. One dollar does not in many cases defray the cost of diet, including that of wines, spirits, &c., &c.

SEAMEN'S HOSPITAL.

　Table VI. gives the diseases and the mortality and number of admissions into this Hospital during the first four months of the year that it was open. The admissions were seventy-two, the deaths four, two from disease of the heart, one from accident, and one from frost bite.

TUNG-WA HOSPITAL.

HOSPITAL

　This Institution at present hardly deserves the name of Hospital, in the ordinary acceptation of the word. It does good as a refuge for the destitute natives, and in time when their inveterate dislike to European improvements is overcome, may do much more good than it can now. Though in native hands, it does not appear to me to be greatly esteemed by those for whose use it is intended.

　That this Institution is kept clean, according to Chinese ideas of cleanliness at least, the people well fed and lodged, and a fair amount of vaccination done, is I think nearly all that can be said in its favor as present.

VICTORIA GAOL.

　Table VII. shows the admissions to Hospital, the diseases and deaths. Table VIII. shows the number in the Gaol and the proportion of sickness and mortality among the prisoners during the year 1873.

　Diarrhoea has been the cause of the greatest number of admissions to Hospital, the general health of the prisoners is about the same as the preceding year.

LOCK HOSPITAL.

　This is a fine, roomy, well designed and ventilated building and is perfectly suitable but for one exception, not a single ward has a stove or fire-place in it, and it is painful to see the poor women shivering about in the winter time. Considering in this climate the most robust feel the cold and the effects of the sudden variations of temperature, it is extraordinary to find Hospitals of all places, without grates or stoves. It seems to me wonderful that it has never struck any one that the sick should feel the inclemencies of the weather more than the healthy, or at least as much.

　On reference to the tables, it will be seen that the substantial results of the working of this Institution are good. The number of the admissions is nearly one fourth less than that of the previous year, and the type of disease is less severe as is evidenced by the shorter duration of the stay in Hospital. This is satisfactory as although a certain proportion of the decrease of disease might be attributed to the diminished numbers of seamen entering the port in 1873, compared with 1872, yet there is no doubt that the main cause at work is the constant supervision exercised.

In Table C, it is noteworthy how small a proportion of seamen, naval and mercantile, have suffered, and Table E shows how trifling has been the character of the disease.

　That the disease still exists in severe forms among the Chinese is well seen among the prisoners in the Gaol, and seamen from neighbouring ports. Of twelve men admitted in one day into the Gaol, eleven were syphilitic having hideous scars of buboes, secondary eruptions, &c., and one man had lost his nose and penis from the effects of this disease. The women belonging to the brothels licensed for Chinese are not examined nor are European prostitutes.

　Reference has been made in the part of this Report referring to the Civil Hospital to cases of Fever resembling Typhus and Typhoid coming from the brothels, I have already reported on this matter and on the inefficient supervision that has hitherto been exercised as regards their sanitary arrangements, which have been left entirely to the Inspectors of Brothels who are quite ignorant of and cannot be expected to know what is required.

HEALTH OF THE COLONY.

　Table X. shows the Mortality among European and American Residents in the Colony in 1873, which is much less in proportion than in the previous ten years, and is more than one fifth less than the mortality of last year. I think this may be accounted for in great part by the heaviness of the rainfall which exceeds that of 1872 by nearly thirteen inches, for it is always noticed in India the heavier the rainfall the better the health of the community and vice versa. It certainly must have had a great effect on the drains of Hongkong.

　On looking over the returns of the Registrar General as regards the mortality, I find the largest proportion of deaths is from diseases of the chest both among Europeans and Chinese. With the Europeans, there is very little mortality from Fever which takes the next place with Chinese, after that comes Diarrhoea and Dysentery from which both suffer severely.

SANITATION.

159

Table XI. shows the work done by the Inspectors of Nuisances by which it will be seen that the number of person fined and the number summoned is much greater than usual. The fines and punishments do not seem to me sufficientry deterrent, at any rate they do not prevent the same people from over and over again making their appearance in Court in the same year for keeping pigs in upstair rooms, having their down spouts choked up, throwing filth into the streets, &c., &c.

WEATHER.

　　　　Table XII. gives the Annual Atmospheric Report of 1873, the heat has been greater during the hot season and the cold more severe in the early and latter months than in 1872. The rainfall as already inentioned is greatly in excess.

I have the honor to be,

From Captain G. R. GOODFELLOW, Acting Political Agent, Kutch, to CHARLES GONNE, Esq., Secretary to Government,

Bombay, Political Department,—(?o. 10, dated Bhooj, the 13th January 1874.)

　　I have the pleasure to report, for the information of His Excellency the Governor in Council, that His Highness the Rao has established a light-house at Mandavee.

2. The lantern which was purchased in England is fixed on a tower 127 feet 6 inches above low water mark on the south-west corner bastion of the town, and has a fixed dioptric lens apparatus to illumine 180,° and is of 6 feet 6 inches diameter, and of the 4th order, situated latitude 20° 49′ 42′′ north, and longitude 69° 23′ 8′′ east, and is visible about 18 miles. 3. I have taken the precaution to impress on His Highness the Rao the necessity that exists for satisfactory arran- gements being made to ensure the light being properly kept up, and as I am satisfied with the assurances His Highness has given me, I consequently can now confidently report its establishment, should His Excellency in Council deem it advisable to notify the same for general information.

4. I trust this reform on the part of His Highness the Rao may have the commendation of Government.

No. 114.

　　Copy of the above forwarded to the Colonial Secretary, Hong-Kong, for the information of His Excellency the Governor. This intimation has not been formally notified, as the Government of India cannot guarantee the maintenance of the light.

FORT WILLIAM, the 21st February 1874.

From Captain G. R. GOODFELLOW, Acting Political Agent, Kutch, to CHARLES GONNE, Esq., Secretary to Government,

Bombay, Political Department,—(?o. 10, dated Bhooj, the 13th January 1874.)

　　I have the pleasure to report, for the information of His Excellency the Governor in Council, that His Highness the Rao has established a light-house at Mandavee.

2. The lantern which was purchased in England is fixed on a tower 127 feet 6 inches above low water mark on the south-west corner bastion of the town, and has a fixed dioptric lens apparatus to illumine 180,° and is of 6 feet 6 inches diameter, and of the 4th order, situated latitude 20° 49′ 42′′ north, and longitude 69° 23′ 8′′ east, and is visible about 18 miles. 3. I have taken the precaution to impress on His Highness the Rao the necessity that exists for satisfactory arran- gements being made to ensure the light being properly kept up, and as I am satisfied with the assurances His Highness has given me, I consequently can now confidently report its establishment, should His Excellency in Council deem it advisable to notify the same for general information.

4. I trust this reform on the part of His Highness the Rao may have the commendation of Government.

No. 114.

　　Copy of the above forwarded to the Colonial Secretary, Hong-Kong, for the information of His Excellency the Governor. This intimation has not been formally notified, as the Government of India cannot guarantee the maintenance of the light.

VOTES AND PROCEEDINGS OF THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL OF HONGKONG.

No. 2 of 1874.

THURSDAY, 5TH MARCH, 1874.

PRESENT:

His Excellency Governor SIR ARTHUR EDWARD KENNEDY, K.C.M.G., C.B.

The Honorable the Chief Justice (JOHN SMALE).

The Honorable the Colonial Secretary (JOHN GARDINER AUSTIN).

The Honorable the Acting Attorney General (THOMAS CHILD HAYLLAR).

The Honorable the Acting Treasurer (CHARLES May).

The Honorable PHINEAS Ryrie.

The Honorable RICHARD ROWETT.

The Honorable WILLIAM HASTINGS ALEXANDER.

The Honorable JAMES WHITTALL.

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

The Minutes of the Council held on the 17th February, are read and confirmed. His Excellency lays on the Table the Printed Report, of the 1st November, 1873, from the Surveyor General (JOHN M. PRICE, Esquire,) being his Project for securing an efficient Supply of Water to the City; and, after pointing out that the Surveyor General had acquitted himself with great credit, and had produced a very able and almost exhaustive Report,-invites Honorable Members to a consideration of a second Report from that Officer, of the 4th March, amending the original Project: This Report is then read.

The amended Project proposes to give all the year round a constant allowance of 15 Gallons per head, in lieu of 18 Gallons in Winter, and 30 in Summer, and thereby to reduce the Estimate of the Work from ?300,000 to ?230,000; and holds out a prospect of still further reductions in the Expenditure, if a Detail Survey be made of the ground over which the Water is to be carried,a Survey which, according to the Surveyor General, can be effected at an expense of $2,500.

-

　　His Excellency is of opinion that this Survey should be at once undertaken, as it provides the only means of arriving at a correct Estimate of the proposed Works.-The practicability of carrying them out would be a matter for future consideration.

Debate ensues, and after a lengthened Discussion,—

It is moved by the Honorable RICHARD ROWETT, seconded by the Honorable PHINEAS RYRIE, and carried unanimously,-That a Sum not exceeding $5,000 be placed at the disposal of the Executive for the purpose of making a Detail Survey of the ground over which the Water is to be conducted to the City, and for such Experiments in connection with the Water Supply as might seem necessary.

Read a first time, a Bill to empower the Governor to exercise certain Powers under "The Merchant

Shipping Act, 1873.”

The Honorable The Acting Attorney General states that this Bill is introduced under instructions from the Secretary of State, and gives to the Governor powers similar to those which are exercised in the United Kingdom by the Board of Trade under Sections 12 and 13 of "The Merchant Shipping Act, 1873," relating to the Survey of unseaworthy Ships.

172

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 11TH APRIL, 1874.

The Honorable the Acting Attorney General then movs that, as it is a case of emergency, the Standing Orders be suspended, and that the Bill be carried through its several stages at the present Sitting of the Council.

The Honorable the Colonial Secretary seconds the Motion,-which is carried.

The Bill is then read a second time, discussed in Committee, and passed without amendments,

bearing the Title of—“ An Ordinance enacted by the Governor of Hongkong, with the Advice of the Legislative Council thereof, to empower the Governor to exercise certain Powers under 'The Merchant Shipping Act, 1873,"-being "No. 1 of 1874."

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 11TH APRIL, 1874.

Statement of Objects and Reasons.

This Ordinance has been framed at the suggestion of the Secretary of State.

By Section II of "The Chinese Passengers' Act" of 1855, the Legislature of Hongkong was empowered to make regulations by Ordinance respecting Chinese Passenger Ships, a term which in- cludes all ships leaving the waters of the Colony with more than 20 Chinese Passengers and all British ships carrying above the same number from any Port of China, or within one hundred miles of the Coast thereof. By Section 3 of the same Statute, the Governor of the Colony was empowered to make certain Re- gulations respecting such ships by proclamation.

Circumstances having since 1855 from time to time altered in many respects with regard to the emigration of Chinese, espe cially in the matters of their destination and modes of convey- ance, legislation has been frequently resorted to for the purpose of meeting such changes, until, as now happens, the regulations affecting the whole subject have to be sought for in no less than 11 Ordinances in addition to the Imperial Statute, and in many proclamations scattered through the Government Gazettes. ? matter in itself intricate has thus been complicated almost beyond reasonable comprehension, and being one of grave importance, no doubt practical inconvenience must have resulted from this state of things.

By this Ordinance it is therefore proposed to consolidate all the existing local laws on Chinese Emigration. They have ac- cordingly been collected and rearranged in such a way that all the provisions affecting each particular branch of the subject form the matter of a separate section, such section, being where necessary, divided into paragraphs.

Such alterations as have been made are chiefly those which were necessitated by rearrangement; but beyond those there are a few actual changes in the law to which it is essential to draw attention.

In paragraph 3 of section V, which corresponds to section IV of Ordinance 4 of 1870, the words "and shall also furnish the "like particulars where any exemption is applied for under para- "graph 2 of this section," are new.

In paragraph 5 of the same section, the words "and the Go- "vernor in Council may impose such conditions to the granting "of such license as he shall think expedient in such particular 66 case, provided the same, &c.," are also new.

Paragragh 9 of the same section likewise forms an addition to the law. These alterations which have already received the sanction of the Secretary of State, although they have not yet been enacted here, are intended to confer larger powers on the Governor in Council to deal with cases where after any license has been granted to a vessel to carry passengers, it may turn out to be necessary to withdraw it before such vessel has left the Port.

Section VII, which refers to Hospital and Medical Inspection, is founded on Ordinances 6 of 1859 and 12 of 1868, and in recom- piling them it has been found convenient to abbreviate certain of the original clauses, leaving however the original meaning and intention untouched.

66

In paragraph 5 of this section, the words "Emigrants under contracts of service" have been substituted for "intending emi- "grants by a passenger ship required by," as it stood in the original Ordinance 12 of 1868, paragraph 10.

As a matter of fact, emigrants not under contracts of service have never been medically inspected before embarkation as they are always so inspected on board ship, and no necessity exists in their case for a double inspection.

In paragraph 6 of the same section, the words "under contract "of service" have been added after the words "lawful for any "emigrant; " this has been done because emigrants not under contract are examined on board ship, and because by section VI paragraph 5 such emigrants are already compelled to produce embarkation or passage tickets in the form provided by Schedule D to this Ordinance. Section 13 of Ordinance 12 of 1868 is omitted because its subject matter seems already provided for in paragragh 4 of this section; and section 4 of Ordinance 6 of 1859 is also omitted, its object being apparently sufficiently met by para- graphs 1 and 4 of the same section.

pro-

In paragraph 1 of section 10 after the words "every Chinese "Passengers Ship shall" have been inserted the words "if the

Emigration Officer sees fit;" this has been done because the visions in the original Ordinance 12 of 1868, section 4, were only intended to apply to emigrants under contracts of service, and in cases of emigrants not under such contracts it is obvious that such dep?ts are not essential.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 11TH APRIL, 1874.

66

To section 16 of Ordinance 12 of 1868, which is re-enacted in section 12 of the present Ordinace, have been added after the words "Cape of Good Hope" the words or to any Port in "Australia, New Zealand, Oceania, or Tasmania," and the Law is thus placed in accordance with instructions received from the Secretary of State, which hitherto have been carried out by means of a notification in the Gazette only. The month of May has been changed to April for the sake of uniformity.

Turning to the Schedules, Schedule E has been substi- tuted for Schedule A to Ordinance 8 of 1871. This has been done to remove certain doubts which had arisen in the minds of the Emigration Commissioners as to the operation of section III of the last mentioned Ordinance now re-enacted in paragraph 1 of section VIII.

Section XV, which has reference to the subject of emigration "from Ports out of this Colony," does not perhaps strictly fall within the scope of this consolidated Ordinance, but has been added thereto for the sake of convenience.

A CHINESE AND ENGLISH DICTIONARY,

THE above work, which has been chiefly com-

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

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

SIR,-I have the honor to report that a Black and White chequered conical shaped Buoy, was yesterday placed on the "Bokhara Rock" off Cape d'Aguilar. It lies in 23 feet water, low water springs, close to the 19 feet pinnacle, and from it Cape d'Aguilar Light-house (building) bears S. 63° 20′ W., Tathong Rock on with extreme of Cape Collinson, N. 17° W., and the West extreme of Lochaw Island, just touching the South extreme of the islands off Cape d'Aguilar, S. 43° W.

　　　　　Vessels are recommended to give it a berth of at least half a cable, as on account of the heavy sea that is generally running there, the Buoy may possibly shift about a little at times.

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.

His Excellency opens the Proceedings by stating that since the last Meeting he had received a Despatch from the Secretary of State, regarding the discussion which took place last year on the Estimates for 1874, as to the time allowed for the consideration of the Annual Estimates.- His Excellency lays the Despatch on the Table for the information of the Council.

His Excellency then calls the attention of the Council to a Letter of the 11th April, from Mr. EDMUND SHARP, Crown Solicitor, requesting a re-consideration of his original application for an increase of Salary.

　　His Excellency observes that Honorable Members are aware that the Secretary of State had sanctioned an increase of the Salary of the Crown Solicitor to ?500, but that the Council had vetoed it.

His Excellency also adds, this was reported to the Secretary of State, who in reply upheld the decision of the Council, but intimated that he would not object to the proposed increase being brought forward in a future Estimate, should the Governor see fit to adopt that course.

　　His Excellency then proposes that a sum not exceeding ?250 be placed on the Supplementary Estimates for 1874, as an addition to the Salary of the Crown Solicitor, which was carried nemine contradicente.

His Excellency then communicates to the Council the Secretary of State's Despatch conveying the approval of the Estimates for 1874, and authorizing the submission of a formal vote for the proposed upper Road to the Eastward, adding that it is not his intention to proceed further with the work except in case of a clearly apparent public necessity.

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.

Draught of Vessels entering or leaving Port.

　　Vessels with a draught not exceeding 21 feet, can now enter and leave port without any difficulty or delay during all seasons of the year.

　　During the fair season, from October to 15th May, vessels of the largest class with a draught not exceeding 24 feet, can now enter and leave the harbour. Fixed moorings will be placed for such vessels.

Approaches.

Ras Muari (or Cape Monze), distant 18 miles W. N. from the western entrance to Kurrachee, is high and bold of approach. Ships during the S. W. Monsoon season should make this head land, running to the eastward for Manora Point, keeping it (Manora Point) on any bearing to the North of East.

　　Masters of ships should endeavour to make the port, at daylight, and can with safety approach to within from 1 to 2 miles distance from the Light House, keeping it, on any bearing, from N. E. to North, and heave to for a pilot.

Time of Tide for entering Port.

Sailing vessels should enter port on the ebb tide.

Steamers can enter either on flood or ebb, and stand at once into port.

Masters of ships should not, under any circumstances, attempt to enter the harbour without a pilot.

Harbour Improvements.

The harbour works are nearly completed, and have proved most successful both as regards deepening the entrance channel and enlarging interior accommodation for shipping.

Among the extensive works executed, a break-water has been built, running out from Manora Point in a S. by E. direction to a distance of 1,500 feet into 6 fathoms of water; this affords complete shelter to the channel over the Bar during the S. W. Monsoon.

Also, a channel has been opened through the Bar with a depth 19 feet at low water spring.tides, 300 feet in breadth (to be widened to 500 feet); the channel is marked with buoys, and these, on entering, should be kept on port side, about 100 feet.

　　NOTE.-Every facility will be afforded (during the fair season only) for Mail steamers to enter port during the night. A "red light" will be placed at the end of the break-water, and a light will be shewn on the west side of the channel.

A Mail steamer arriving off the port at night and requiring a pilot, should fire “two guns."

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.

　The following Report from the Superintendent of the Hongkong Fire Brigade, is published for general information.

By Command,

J. GARDINER AUSTIN, Colonial Secretary.

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 12th May, 1874.

No. 5.

FIRE BRIGADE DEPARTMENT,

HONGKONG, 8th May, 1874.

　SIR,-I have the honor to forward to you, for submission to His Excellency the Governor, the Report of the Fire Brigade for the months of March and April, 1874.

　An Inspection of the Government Fire Brigade Engines, Fire Ladders, Hose, and Equipment, was made on the 21st March: all were found clean and in order.

　A Parade and Inspection was held on the 30th March. The Government steam and manual Engines, also the manual Engines of the Chinese Associations, were present: all were worked from the sea and found in order.

　Owing to the continuous wet weather in the middle of the month of April, it was not advisable to make the usual semi-monthly Inspection.

　A Parade and Inspection was held on the 28th April. The assembly was at 5 P.M. at the Cross Roads, and thence the whole of the steam and manual Engines were taken to the Praya West, and worked from the sea: all were found in excellent order. No. 1 steam Engine was worked with four branches, and No. 2 steam Engine with two branches of delivery hose.

I have the honor to be,

Sir,

The Honorable J. GARDINER AUSTIN,

Colonial Secretary,

HONGKONG.

Your most obedient Servant,

C. MAY,

Superintendent, Fire Brigade.

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.

THE HONGKong governMENT GAZETTE, 13TH JUNE, 1874.

Supplementary Conventions of the 12th of October and 16th of November of the same year, are again put in force in all their stipulations and in their full tenour, and shall continue to have effect as before the Act of Denunciation of the 15th of March, 1872. The High Contracting Parties guarantee to each other reciprocally, as well in the United Kingdom as in France and Algeria, the treatment, in all respects, of the most favoured nation.

It is, therefore, understood that, in conformity with the stipulations of Artitcle XIX of the Treaty of Commerce, concluded on the 23rd of January, 1860, and of Article V of the Supplementary Con- vention of the 16th of November of the same year, each of the High Contracting Parties engages to give the other, immediately and unconditionally, the benefit of every favour or immunity, every privilege or reduction of Tariff in regard to the importation of merchandize, whether mentioned or not in the Treaty and Conventions of 1860, which have been or may be conceded by one of the High Contracting Parties to any foreign nation what- soever, whether within or beyond Europe.

It is likewise understood that, in all that relates to transit, warehousing, exportation, re-exportation, local dues, brokerage, Customs formalities, samples, designs for manufactures, and likewise in all mat- ters relating to the exercise of commerce and in- dustry, British subjects in France or in Algeria, and French in the United Kingdom, shall enjoy the treatment of the most favoured nation.

ARTICLE II.

British ships and their cargoes shall, in France and in Algeria, and French ships and their cargoes shall, in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, from whatever place arriving, and whatever may be the place of origin or destination of their cargoes, be treated in every respect as national ships, and their cargoes.

The coasting trade, however, is excepted from the preceding stipulation, and remains subject to the respective laws of the two countries.

ARTICLE III.

　The High Contracting Parties agree to settle by means of a Supplementary Convention, the ratifi- cations of which shall be exchanged before the 31st of January, 1874, such arrangements as may appear to them to be necessary in regard to Con- sular attributions, to transit and Customs regula- tions affecting entry of goods, expertise, samples, and any other matters of the like nature, and they agree, moreover, to substitute this Supplementary Convention for the stipulations about similar mat- ters comprised in the Treaties and Conventions of 1860.

ARTICLE IV.

Mineral oils of British origin shall be admitted into France and Algeria from the 1st of January, 1874, or sooner, if possible, at a Customs duty of 5 per cent, that is to say, at the rate of duty levied previously to the passing of the Law of the 8th of July, 1871. It is, nevertheless, agreed that the

ventions Suppl?mentaires des 12 Octobre et 16 Novembre de la m?me ann?e, sont, dans toutes leurs dispositions et teneur, remis en vigueur et continueront d'avoir leurs effets comme avant l'Acte de D?nonciation du 15 Mars, 1872.

Les Hautes Parties Contractantes se garantissent r?ciproquement, tant dans le Royaume Uni qu'en France et en Alg?rie, le traitement, sous tous les rapports, de la nation la plus favoris?e.

Il est donc entendu, conform?ment aux dispo- sitions de l'Article XIX du Trait? de Commerce conclu le 23 Janvier, 1860, ainsi que l'Article V de la Convention Suppl?mentaire du 16 Novembre de la m?me ann?e, que chacune des Hautes Parties Contractantes s'engage ? faire profiter l'autre im- m?diatement et sans conditions de toute faveur ou immunit?, de tout privil?ge ou abaissement de Tarif pour l'importation des marchandises mentionn?es ou non dans les Trait?s et Conventions de 1860, qui ont ?t? ou pourront ?tre accord?s par l'une des Hautes Parties Contractantes a une nation ?trang?re quelconque, soit en Europe soit en dehors.

Il est ?galement entendu que pour tout ce qui concerne le transit, l'entrep?t, l'exportation, la r?-exportation, les droits locaux, le courtage, les formalit?s de Douane, les ?chantillons, les dessins de fabrique, de m?me que pour tout ce qui a rap- port ? l'exercice du commerce et de l'industrie, les sujets Britanniques en France ou en Alg?rie, et les Fran?ais dans le Royaume Uni, jouiront du traitement de la nation la plus favoris?e.

ARTICLE II.

Les navires Anglais et leur cargaison en France et en Alg?rie, et les navires Fran?ais et leur car- gaison dans le Royaume Uni de la Grande Bre- tagne et d'Irlande, ? leur arriv?e d'un port quel- conque et quel que soit le lieu d'origine ou de destination de leur cargaison, jouiront, sous tous les rapports, du m?me traitement que les navires nationaux et leur cargaison.

Il est fait exception ? la disposition qui pr?c?de pour le cabotage, dont le r?gime demeure soumis aux lois respectives des deux pays.

ARTICLE III.

Les Hautes Parties Contractantes conviennent d'?tablir, au moyen d'une Convention Suppl?- mentaire dont les ratifications seront ?chang?es avant le 31 Janvier, 1874, les dispositions qui leur para?tront n?cessaires au sujet des attributions Consulaires, ainsi que du transit et des r?glements de Douane relatifs ? l'entr?e des marchandises, ? l'expertise, aux ?chantillons, et ? toute autre mati?re analogue. Elles conviennent en outre de substi- tuer cette Convention Suppl?mentaire aux dispo- sitions en pareille mati?re comprises dans les Trait?s et Conventions de 1860.

ARTICLE IV.

A partir du 1 Janvier, 1874, ou plus t?t si faire se peut, les huiles min?rales d'origine Bri- tannique seront admises en France et en Alg?rie, au droit de Douane de 5 pour cent, c'est-?-dire au taux du droit en vigueur avant la Loi du 8 Juillet, 1871. Il demeure cependant convenu

In regard to the contracts above referred to, the settlement shall include indemnification for actions for breaches of contracts entered into before the enforcement of the Law of the 8th of July, 1871.

　　　　If the person claimed on the part of the Government of the United Kingdom, or if the person claimed on the part of the Govern- ment of Austria-Hungary, should be under examination for any other crime in the Austro- Hungarian dominions, 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 VIII.

　A surrendered person shall in no case be kept in arrest or sub- jected to examination in the State to which he has been sur- rendered on account of another previous crime, or any other grounds than those of his sur- render, unless such person has, after his surrender, had an op- portunity of returning to the country whence he was surren- dered, and has not made use of this opportunity, or unless he, after having returned there, re- appears in the country to which he has already been surrendered.

This stipulation does not refer to crimes committed after sur- render.

ARTICLE IX. Requisitions for surrender shall be made by the Diplomatic Agents of the High Contracting

Parties.

To the requisition for the sur- render of an accused person there must be attached a warrant is- sued by the competent authori- ties of the State which demands extradition, and such proofs as would, according to the laws of the place where the accused was found, justify his arrest if the crime had been committed there.

If the requisition refers to a person already convicted, the sentence passed by the compe- tent Tribunal of State demand- ing his surrender must be pro- duced.

Die ausgelieferte Person darf in dem Staate an welchen die Aus- lieferung erfolgt ist, keinenfalls wegen einer anderen fr?her be- gangenen strafbaren Handlung, oder auf Grund anderer Thatsa- chen als derjenigen, wegen deren die Auslieferung erfolgt ist, in Haft gehalten oder zur Unter- suchung gezogen werden, es w?re denn, dass sie nach der Auslie- ferung Gelegenheit gehabt h?tte, in das Land zur?ckzukehren, aus welchem sie ausgeliefert wurde, und diese Gelegenheit nicht be- n?tzt h?tte, oder dass sie, nach- dem sie dahin zur?ckzukehrt war, freiwillig in dem Land wieder erschienen w?re, an das sie schon einmal ausgeliefert wurde.

Auf strafbare Handlungen, welche nach erfolgter Ausliefe- rung ver?bt sind, findet diese Bestimmung keine Anwendung.

ARTIKEL IX.

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

Mit dem Antrage auf Auslie- ferung eines Beschuldigten m?s- sen ein Haftbefehl, welcher von der zust?ndigen Beh?rde des die Auslieferung begehrenden Staa- tes erlassen ist, und solche Bew- eise beigebracht werden, welche nach den Gesetzen des Ortes, wo der Beschuldigte aufgefunden wird, dessen Verhaftung recht- fertigen w?rden, wen 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 be- gehrenden Staates gegen den Verurtheilten erlassen ist.

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.

NOTICE TO MARINERS.

[No. 77.]

CHINA-HONGKONG.

Sunken Rock in the Tathong Channel.

　　　　　Information has been received of the existence of a sunken rock on the south-west side of the entrance of the Tathong Channel, Hongkong, on which the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam-ship Bokhara lately struck.

HE above work, which has been chiefly com- Eiled 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 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 person appointed to make such survey is prevented from, or obstructed in, ascertaining the condition of the ship, her equip- ments, machinery and cargo, shall be liable to a penalty not exceeding two hundred and fifty dollars.

The Governor may, if he thinks fit, order that any ship be detained for the purpose of being surveyed under this section, and thereupon the Harbour Master may detain such ship until her release be ordered, either by the Governor, or by any Court to which an appeal is given under this section.

Upon the receipt of the report of the person making any such survey, the Governor may, if in his opinion the ship cannot proceed to sea without serious danger to human life, make such further order, as he may think requisite, as to the detention of the ship, or as to her release, either absolutely or upon the perform- ance of such conditions with respect to the execution of repairs or alterations, or the unloading or reloading of cargo, as the Governor may impose. He may also, from time to time, vary or add to such order.

A copy of any such order, and of the report upon which it was founded, and also of any variation of, or addition to, such order, shall be delivered as soon as possible to the owner or master of the ship to which it relates.

When a ship has been detained under this section, she shall not be released by reason of her British register having been. closed.

2. If upon the survey of a ship under this section, she is reported to have been at the time of the survey, having regard to the nature of the service for which she was then intended, unfit to proceed to sea without serious danger to human life, the expenses incurred by the Governor in respect of the survey shall be paid by the owner of the ship to the Governor, and shall, without prejudice to any other remedy, be recoverable by him in the same manner as salvage is recoverable.

If upon such survey the ship is not reported to have been un- fit to proceed to sea, having regard to the nature of the service for which she was intended, the Governor shall be liable to pay com- pensation to any person for any loss or damage which he may have sustained by reason of the detention of the ship for the purpose of survey, or otherwise in respect of such survey.

Where a complaint has been made to the Governor that a ship is not fit to proceed to sea, he may, if he thinks fit, before ordering a survey of the ship, require the complainant to give or provide such security as he may think sufficient for the payment of the costs and expenses which he may incur in respect of the survey of the ship and of the compensation which he may be rendered liable to pay for loss or damage caused by her detention for the purpose of such survey, or otherwise in respect of such

survey.

:

Where a ship has been surveyed under this section in consequence of a complaint made to the Governor, if upon such survey being made, it appear that such complaint was made with- out reasonable cause, the expenses incurred by the Governor in respect of the survey of the ship, and the amount, if any, which the Governor may have been rendered liable to pay in respect of any loss or damage caused by her detention, shall be recoverable by the Governor from such complainant.

All moneys payable by the Governor in respect, or by reason of the survey or detention of a ship under this section, shall, subject to the right by this paragraph provided of recovering such moneys from the complainant, be paid out of the Colonial Re-

venue.

3. If the owner of any ship surveyed under this section is dissatisfied with any order of the Governor made upon such survey, he may apply to the Vice-Admiralty Court of Hongkong. The Court may, upon such application, if it thinks fit, appoint one or more competent persons to survey the ship anew, and any surveyor so appointed shall have all the powers of the person by whom the original survey was made. Such survey anew shall, if so required by the Governor, or the shipowner, be made in the presence of any person or persons appointed by them respectively to attend at the survey.

The Court to which such application is made may make such order as to the detention or release of the ship, as to the payment of any costs and damages which may have been occasioned by her detention, as to the payment of the expenses of the original survey, and of the survey anew, and otherwise as to the payment of any costs of, and incident to, the application, as to the Court may seem just.

There shall be paid in respect of the several measurements, inspections, and surveys mentioned in Schedule C hereto, such fees, not exceeding those specified in that behalf in the said Schedule, as the Governor may, from time to time, determine.

Statement of Objects and Reasons.

This Ordinance has been framed with the twofold object of bringing into operation within the Colony certain provisions of the Merchant Shipping Acts and Amendment Acts, (which do not of their own force apply here), and of consolidating and amending the local Ordinances which relate to merchant shipping, seamen, and the regulation of the Colonial waters.

With reference to the former object, the fact that the local carrying trade has now passed, in so great a measure, from sailing vessels to steam ships, has necessitated the introduction here of those clauses of the Imperial Acts which pertain specially to safety and the prevention of accidents in the employment of steamers. And as to the latter, the collection together and re-arrangement of the many and frequently intricate provisions with reference to shipping which from time to time have become law since 1845, have become advisable as a matter of convenience; the more especially as certain actual changes in the law are required, which a consolidating Ordinance affords a favourable opportunity of introducing.

Attention is now specially directed to all those alterations in the law which this Ordinance purposes to effect, but before they are enumerated, it should be mentioned, that a considerable amount of redrafting has been found necessary in making this compilation, which however is not of a nature to vary the meaning of the clauses as they originally stood. The marginal reference appended to every section affords a ready means of discovering where such verbal alterations have been made.

PART I.

Chapter I of the first part of the Ordinance contains very material and important modifications of Ordinance No. 4 of 1855, upon which it is founded. Some of the chief reasons for the introduction of that Ordinance do not exist at the present day. The class of vessels to which it mainly applied, viz., junks and lorchas trading between this Colony and the open ports on the Canton river, either no longer exists, or does not seek registration under the Ordinance; and its provisions are now only, or nearly only, taken advantage of by Chinese residents within the Colony, not being British subjects, who register steamers under it; a class of ship to which its pro- visions were obviously never intended originally to apply. As British subjects can, and all but invariably do, register their ships here under the Imperial Acts, there is no necessity for preserving the provisions of section I of Ordinance No. 4 of 1855, as they now stand; and indeed the only reason for not repealing the Ordinance altogether, is that so doing would deprive Chinese residents, not being British subjects, of the privilege of using the British flag, which they have hitherto enjoyed. For these reasons, paragraphs 1 and 2 of chapter I, propose to restrict the operation of the chapter to Chinese residents, not being British subjects, only. Hitherto, all ships colonially registered have

324

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 18TH JULY, 1874.

been considered not to be subject to the provisions of the Merchant Shipping Acts, and have consequently been permitted to go to sea without certificated masters, mate, or engineers. Such a state of law is obviously unsatisfactory, and it is, therefore, pro- posed by paragraph 11 to place all such ships (junks of course excepted) upon the same footing as vessels holding Imperial registers within the Colony. This step is demanded as a measure of safety.

The contents of chapter II are mainly founded upon part IV of the Merchant Shipping Act, 1854. The fact that many steamers run upon the China Coast which at present do not come, (or if at all, only at very distant periods) within the operation of that part of the statute, affords sufficient reason for its enactment here. Section VII goes somewhat beyond the provisions of the Merchant Shipping Act on the same subject. The very large and important business which has now grown up connected with the conveyance of Chinese passengers by steamers to and from this Colony to ports not within the purview of the Chinese Passengers Act, 1855, seems to call for some special legislation. At present this business is altogether unregulated in the points. to which section VII refers, a state of things which seem unde- sirable for all parties concerned, whether ship-owners or passengers. Paragraph 3 of this section will, if passed, place in the hands of the Governor in Council, for the first time, the power of prohibiting the conveyance of deck passengers by any ship sailing from the Colony. During the more inclement season of the year, such a power may, no doubt, be usefully exercised.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　Their The provisions of paragraph 4 of section VII are new. object seems sufficiently expressed not to call for any detailed explanation.

I

Section VIII has been already enacted in the Colony as Ordinance No. 1 of 1874. In paragraph 2, the words "out of the Colonial revenue," have been substituted by direction of the Secretary of State, for the words "out of moneys to. be "provided by the Imperial Parliament." Section IX has not hitherto been brought into force here. Section X is intended · to be in substitution of Ordinance No. 9 of 1872, which applies to foreign ships paragraph 329 of the Merchant Shipping Act, 1854. The last mentioned section has now been repealed by the Merchant Shipping Act of 1873, and the clauses now introduced have been substituted for it in the United Kingdom.

Chapter III purposes to effect certain changes in the constitution and powers of Marine Courts. As provided by Ordinance No. 11 of 1860, such Court must at present consist of no less than five persons, one of whom must be a Police Magistrate, one the Harbour Master, one an un-official Justice of the Peace, and the remaining two of whom shall be other persons who shall be both or either of them Government Marine Surveyors or Master Mariners. The utility of this constitution may well be doubted, and for the purposes of the enquiries for which Marine Courts are constituted, the three persons mentioned in paragraph 1, would seem to be sufficient. It should also be men- tioned, that under instructions from the Secretary of State, one Commissioned Officer in the Royal Navy at least is required to sit on Marine Courts. The powers proposed to be conferred on the Court by paragraph 4, are such as it has not hitherto exercised. They are the same as are now possessed by Naval Courts sitting in distant parts of the world by the Act of 1854, paragraph 263. The want of such powers here has, on more than one occasion, caused practical inconvenience. Chapter IV extends the powers conferred upon the Board of Examiners by Ordi- nance No. 17 of 1860, to the examination and certifying of engi- neers. At the time this Ordinance came into operation, ships were not required, as now, to carry certificated engineers. Chapters V, VI, and VII demand no comment or explanation. Chapter VIII is not at present in operation within the Colony, although its provisions, which are founded on certain sections in the Merchant Shipping Act of 1867, are such as ought no doubt to be extended

here.

Paragraph 5 of chapter IX purposes to extend certain provisions of the Merchant Shipping Act, 1854, relating to the offences of British seamen, to seamen employed on board of foreign ships while in these waters. Under the law as it at present stands, the Government has been unable to assist Masters of foreign ships who have had trouble with their seamen, except in cases where actual mutiny has broken out. This state of things has not infrequently given rise to complaints on the part of foreign Consuls and others who have been placed in great difficulties from their inability to deal with insubordinate crews who have stopped short of actual mutiny. It will be seen, however, that by paragraph 7, the operation of the whole section may be suspended in regard to the ships of any foreign nation at the request of its Consul.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 18TH JULY, 1874.

PART II.

By chapter I of this part, the regulations which by Ordinance No. 1 of 1862, were confined to a certain portion of the Colonial waters there defined as the "harbour," are now extended to the whole of those waters. Much inconvenience has been felt on more than one occasion from vessels anchoring in Colonial waters outside the prescribed limits, and thus while taking ad- vantage of the port, keeping free of its necessary regulations. On the other hand, no advantage has arisen from confining the operation of regulations to a portion of the Colonial waters, which, beyond doubt, under the circumstances of this Colony, are equally applicable, to the whole. Section XXIII of that Ordinance has, therefore, been omitted, and the words "waters of the Colony" substituted for the word "harbour" throughout the chapter. An interpretation of the term "waters of the Colony" has, to prevent doubts arising on the point, been inserted in the preliminary portion of the Ordinance.

Sections XXIV and XXVI of the same Ordinance (No. 1 of 1862) are also omitted as the powers therein specially conferred, are to all intents and purposes contained in paragraphs 3 and 4 of section XXII of the proposed enactment. The Governor pos- sesses the authority purporting to be conferred by section XXV of No. 1 of 1862, independent of the legislature, and that is, therefore, likewise repealed.

Paragraph 3 of section XXIII is new. Situated as this Colony is, the prevalence of small-pox, or other virulent con- tagious, or infectious disorder at a neighbouring port, is a matter very material to be known, and it is felt to be one of too much importance to be left to the discretion of ship masters to report

or not.

Paragraph 4 of section XXV is also new. Its necessity arises from the great increase in the use of steam-launchies in these waters, a class of vessels which at present is subject to no kind of regulation.

Section XXVII confers powers on the Harbour Master which he does not now possess. Their utility is obvious. The same observations apply to section XXVIII.

PART III.

Chapter II of this part purposes to place in the hands of the Governor in Council the licensing and management of all the small craft plying in the Colonial waters for hire and of all that numerous class of boats used by the Chinese as residences, by means of regulations. At present, the licensing of sampans and of cargo boats is regulated by section XVI of Ordinance No. 8 of 1858, and of cargo boatmen by Ordinance No. 15 of 1860. Vessels used as residences are not under regulation at all. The convenience of the public will, it is thought, be better met by entrusting the making of Yules for the control of all craft of this class to the Executive than by embodying the rules for their government in an Ordinance. As such regulations must of necessity mainly consist of mere matters of detail, it is of importance that they should more readily admit of alteration or amendment than is possible when they form the subject of legislative enactment.

PART IV.

By section XXXVIII all offences againt the provisions of the Ordinance are made triable by any stipendiary Magistrate. As a matter of practice, no doubt such offences will be generally tried before the Harbour Master, who is the Marine Magistrate, out inconvenience has arisen from the terms of sections XXIX and XXX of Ordinance No. 1 of 1862, which makes offences against its provisions coguizable only by any stipendiary Magistrate in the event of the Marine Magistrate being incapacitated from hearing them.

A CHINESE AND ENGLISH 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 magy 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.

ABSENT:

The Honorable PHINEAS RYRIE,-absent on leave.

The Council meets this day at 2.30 P.M., by. Special Summons, no meeting having taken place on

the 23rd April, to which day the Council was adjourned.

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

The Chinese Emigration Consolidation Bill is recommitted.

The Honorable the Acting Attorney General states the Bill, as amended at the last meeting, alters in no way the principle adopted in the previous Ordinances. It is merely a consolidation of those Laws and the only alteration that has been made is in the power of seizing a ship, which was formerly given to a Police Magistrate, and is now vested in the Governor of the Colony.

The Bill is then read Clause by Clause, agreed to, and passed, bearing the Title of "An Ordinance enacted by the Governor of Hongkong, with the Advice of the Legislative Council thereof, to conso- lidate and amend the Law relating to Chinese Passenger Ships, and the Conveyance of Chinese Emigrants,"-being No. 3 of 1874.".

His Excellency in closing the proceedings, expresses his personal obligations to the Acting Attorney General, the Honorable THOMAS CHILD HAYLLAR, for his care and labour in simplifying and consolidating the Laws of the Colony on Chinese Emigration, a work not properly falling to the duties of an Acting Officer, and therefore deserving also the appreciation of the general Public.

His Excellency adjourns the Council at 4 P.M., sine die.

HEREAS it is expedient to consolidate and amend the laws relating to merchant shipping, the duties of the Harbour Master, the control and management of the waters of the Colony, and the regulation of all vessels navigating the same; and whereas doubts have arisen as to the applicability of certain sec- tions of "The Merchant Shipping Act, 1854," and the Acts amend- ing the same: Be it enacted by the Governor of Hongkong, with the advice of the Legislative Council thereof, as follows:-

PRELIMINARY.

I. This Ordinance may be cited for all purposes as "The Mer- chant Shipping Consolidation Ordinance, 1874.”

II. In the construction and for the purposes of this Ordinance (if not inconsistent with the context or subject matter) the follow- ing terms shall have the respective meanings hereinafter assigned to them, that is to say :—

"Master" shall include every person (except a pilot) having command or charge of any ship;

"Seaman" shall include any person (except masters, pilots and apprentices duly indentured and registered) employed or engaged in any capacity on board any ship;

"Ship" shall include any description of vessel used in naviga- tion not propelled by oars, except Chinese junks or lorchas.

The term "waters of the Colony" shall (except as herein- after provided) be, for the purposes of this Ordinance, deemed to comprise the waters situate within a radius of one marine league from the shores of the Colony: Provided always that this interpretation shall not be construed to affect waters within such radius in any case where such waters are situate within the territorial limits or jurisdiction of the empire of China.

2. In any of the following cases, that is to say :-

(a.) If any ship herein before required to be provided with boats, rafts or life buoys proceeds to sea without being so pro- vided therewith, or if any such boats, rafts, life buoys, or other appliances for saving life are lost or rendered unfit for service in the course of the voyage through the wilful fault or negligence of the owner or master; or, (b.) If in case of any of such boats, rafts, life buoys, or other appliances for saving life being accidentally lost. or injured in the course of the voyage, the master wil- fully neglects to replace or repair the same on the first opportunity; or,

Statement of Objects and Reasons.

This Ordinance has been framed with the twofold object of bringing into operation within the Colony certain provisions of the Merchant Shipping Acts and Amendment Acts, (which do not of their own force apply here), and of consolidating and amending the local Ordinances which relate to merchant shipping, seamen, and the regulation of the Colonial waters.

With reference to the former object, the fact that the local carrying trade has now passed, in so great a measure, from sailing vessels to steam ships, has necessitated the introduction here of those clauses of the Imperial Acts which pertain specially to safety and the prevention of accidents in the employment of steamers. And as to the latter, the collection together and re-arrangement of the many and frequently intricate provisions with reference to shipping which from time to time have become law since 1845, have become advisable as a matter of convenience; the more especially as certain actual changes in the law are required, which a consolidating Ordinance affords a favourable opportunity of introducing.

Attention is now specially directed to all those alterations in the law which this Ordinance purposes to effect, but before they are enumerated, it should be mentioned, that a considerable amount of redrafting has been found necessary in making this compilation, which however is not of a nature to vary the meaning of the clauses as they originally stood. The marginal reference appended to every section affords a ready means of discovering where such verbal alterations have been made.

PART I.

Chapter I of the first part of the Ordinance contains very material and important modifications of Ordinance No. 4 of 1855, upon which it is founded. Some of the chief reasons for the introduction of that Ordinance do not exist at the present day. The class of vessels to which it mainly applied, viz., junks and lorehas trading between this Colony and the open ports on the Canton river, either no longer exists, or does not seek registration under the Ordinance; and its provisions are now only, or nearly only, taken advantage of by Chinese residents within the Colony, not being British subjects, who register steamers under it; a class of ship to which its pro- visions were obviously never intended originally to apply. As British subjects can, and all but invariably do, register their ships here under the Imperial Acts, there is no necessity fo preserving the provisions of section I of Ordinance No. 4 of 1855, as they now stand; and indeed the only reason for not repealing the Ordinance altogether, is that so doing would deprive Chinese residents, not being British subjects, of the privilege of using the British flag, which they have hitherto enjoyed. For these reasons, paragraphs 1 and 2 of chapter I, propose to restrict the operation of the chapter to Chinese residents, not being British subjects, only. Hitherto, all ships colonially registered have

}

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 1ST AUGUST, 1874.

been considered not to be subject to the provisions of the Merchant Shipping Acts, and have consequently been permitted to go to sea without certificated masters, mate, or engineers. Such a state of law is obviously unsatisfactory, and it is, therefore, pro- posed by paragraph 11 to place all such ships (junks of course excepted) upon the same footing as vessels holding Imperial registers within the Colony. This step is demanded as a measure of safety.

?

The contents of chapter II are mainly founded upon part IV of the Merchant Shipping Act, 1854. The fact that many steamers run upon the China Coast which at present do not come, (or if at all, only at very distant periods) within the operation of that part of the statute, affords sufficient reason for its enactment here. Section VII goes somewhat beyond the provisions of the Merchant Shipping Act on the same subject. The very large and important business which has now grown up connected with the conveyance of Chinese passengers by steamers to and from this Colony to ports not within the purview of the Chinese Passengers Act, 1855, seems to call for some special legislation. At present this business is altogether unregulated in the points to which section VII refers, a state of things which seem unde- sirable for all parties concerned, whether ship-owners or passengers. Paragraph 3 of this section will, if passed, place in the hands of the Governor in Council, for the first time, the power of prohibiting the conveyance of deck passengers by any ship sailing from the Colony. During the more inclement season of

year, such a power may, no doubt, be usefully exercised.

the

The provisions of paragraph 4 of section VII are new. Their object seems sufficiently expressed not to call for any detailed explanation.

Section VIII has been already enacted in the Colony as Ordinance No. 1 of 1874. In paragraph 2, the words "out of the Colonial revenue," have been substituted by direction of the Secretary of State, for the words "out of moneys to be "provided by the Imperial Parliament." Section IX has not hitherto been brought into force here. Section X is intended to be in substitution of Ordinance No. 9 of 1872, which applies to foreign ships paragraph 329 of the Merchant Shipping Act, 1854. The last mentioned section has now been repealed by the Merchant Shipping Act of 1873, and the clauses now introduced have been substituted for it in the United Kingdom.

Chapter III purposes to effect certain changes in the constitution and powers of Marine Courts. As provided by Ordinance No. 11 of 1860, such Court must at present consist of no less than five persons, one of whom must be a Police Magistrate, one the Harbour Master, one an un-official Justice of the Peace, and the remaining two of whom shall be other persons who shall be both or either of them Government Marine Surveyors or Master Mariners. The utility of this constitution may well be doubted, and for the purposes of the enquiries for which Marine Courts are constituted, the three persons mentioned in paragraph 1, would seem to be sufficient. It should also be men- tioned, that under instructions from the Secretary of State, one Commissioned Officer in the Royal Navy at least is required to sit on Marine Courts. The powers proposed to be conferred on the Court by paragraph 4, are such as it has not hitherto exercised. They are the same as are now possessed by Naval Courts sitting in distant parts of the world by the Act of 1854, paragraph 263. The want of such powers here has, on more than one occasion, caused practical inconvenience. Chapter IV extends the powers conferred upon the Board of Examiners by Ordi- nance No. 17 of 1860, to the examination and certifying of engi neers. At the time this Ordinance came into operation, ships were not required, as now, to carry certificated engineers. Chapters V, VI, and VII demand no comment or explanation. Chapter VIII is not at present in operation within the Colony, although its provisions, which are founded on certain sections in the Merchant Shipping Act of 1867, are such as ought no doubt to be extended here.

Paragraph 5 of chapter IX purposes to extend certain provisions of the Merchant Shipping Act, 1854, relating to the offences of British seamen, to seamen employed on board of foreign ships while in these waters. Under the law as it at present stands, the Government nas been unable to assist Masters of foreign ships who have had trouble with their seamen, except in cases where actual mutiny has broken out. This state of things has not infrequently given rise to complaints on the part of foreign Consuls and others who have been placed in great difficulties from their inability to deal with insubordinate crews who have stopped short of actual mutiny. It will be seen, however, that by paragraph 7,

the operation of the whole section may be suspended in regard to the ships of any foreign nation at the request of its Consul.

PART II.

By chapter I of this part, the regulations which by Ordinance No. 1 of 1862, were confined to a certain portion of the Colonial waters there defined as the "harbour," are now extended to the whole of those waters. Much inconvenience has been felt on more than one occasion from vessels anchoring in Colonial waters outside the prescribed limits, and thus while taking ad- vantage of the port, keeping free of its necessary regulations. On the other hand, no advantage has arisen from confining the operation of regulations to a portion of the Colonial waters, which, beyond doubt, under the circumstances of this Colony, are equally applicable to the whole. Section XXIII of that Ordinance has, therefore, been omitted, and the words "waters of the Colony" substituted for the word "harbour" throughout the chapter. An interpretation of the term "waters of the Colony" has, to prevent doubts arising on the point, been inserted in the preliminary portion of the Ordinance.

Sections XXIV and XXVI of the same Ordinance (No. 1 of 1862) are also omitted as the powers therein specially conferred, are to all intents and purposes contained in paragraphs 3 and 4 of section XXII of the proposed enactment. The Governor pos- sesses the authority purporting to be conferred by section XXV of No. 1 of 1862, independent of the legislature, and that is, therefore, likewise repealed.

Paragraph 3 of section XXIII is new. Situated as this Colony is, the prevalence of small-pox, or other virulent con- tagious, or infectious disorder at a neighbouring port, is a matter very material to be known, and it is felt to be one of too much importance to be left to the discretion of ship masters to report

or not.

Paragraph 4 of section XXV is also new. Its necessity arises from the great increase in the use of steam-launches in these waters, a class of vessels which at present is subject to no kind of regulation.

Section XXVII confers powers on the Harbour Master which he does not now possess. Their utility is obvious. The same observations apply to section XXVIII.

PART III.

Chapter II of this part purposes to place in the hands of the Governor in Council the licensing and management of all the small craft plying in the Colonial waters for hire and of all that numerous class of boats used by the Chinese as residences, by means of regulations. At present, the licensing of sampans and of cargo boats is regulated by section XVI of Ordinance No. 8 of 1858, and of cargo boatmen by Ordinance No. 15 of 1860. Vessels used as residences are not under regulation at all. The convenience of the public will, it is thought, be better met by entrusting the making of rules for the control of all craft of this class to the Executive than by embodying the rules for their government in an Ordinance. As such regulations must of necessity mainly consist of mere matters of detail, it is of importance that they should more readily admit of alteration or amendment than is possible when they form the subject of legislative enactment.

PART IV.

By section XXXVIII all offences againt the provisions of the Ordinance are made triable by any stipendiary Magistrate. As a matter of practice, no doubt such offences will be generally tried before the Harbour Master, who is the Marine Magistrate, but inconvenience has arisen from the terms of sections XXIX and XXX of Ordinance No. 1 of 1862, which makes offences against its provisions cognizable only by any stipendiary Magistrate in the event of the Marine Magistrate being incapacitated from hearing them.

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 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.

Hongkong, 15th August, 1874.

HONGKONG & SHANGHAI BANKING CORPORATION.

EIGHTEENTH Report of the Court of Direc-

tors to the Ordinary Half-yearly General Meeting of Shareholders to be held at the CITY HALL, Hongkong, on Wednesday, the 19th August, 1874.

To the Proprietors of the

HONGKONG & SHANGHAI BANKING CORPORATION.

　Gentlemen, The Directors have now to sub- mit to you a general Statement of the affairs of the Corporation, and Balance Sheet for ine half- year ending 30th June last.

　The net profits for that period, including $26,290.53 brought forward from last account, after paying all charges and deducting interest paid and due, amount to $130,484.02, of which, after taking out Rebate on Bills not yet due, and Remuneration to Directors, there remains a ba- lance of $116,042.19.

The Directors regret that on this occasion they cannot recommend the payment of any Dividend to the Shareholders, for, not only has the result of the half-year's working been very unsatisfac- tory, but they are sorry to have to announce that heavy losses have been incurred, and, to provide for them in the fullest possible manner, no less a sum than $334,000 will be required. This sum they propose to provide by withdrawing $225,000 from the Reserve Fund, and by appropriating $109,000 of the available balance of Profit, which will leave $7,042.19 to be carried to the credit of New Account.

The Directors regret further to tell the Share- holders, that the position of some other accounts in the Bank's books has become such, that pro- vision may have to be made for losses on them in

the future, and they seize upon the present oppor- tunity to state, that although there may be losses on these accounts, they will not, in the worst possible event, exceed $275,000, while at the same time, only a portion of that amount may be required. In any case, whether all or any part of the amount is required, it will be chargeable to the Reserve Fund, leaving the future profits of the Bank available for Dividend and for gra- dually again making up the Reserve Fund to One Million of Dollars.

The small profits made during the past half- year are attributable to the very adverse turn taken by the Exchanges almost at the opening of the export season in China, to the unremunerative nature of Banking business in China and Japan during the six months, and to the prolonged dull- ness in trade generally in the East.

Though, in consequence of a combination of unfortunate circumstances, the Bank has been unsuccessfully worked during the past six months and suffered severe and some totally unexpected losses, the Directors consider its general position is quite unimpaired, and when trade in China and Japan reverts to its former healthy state, they see no reason why the Bank should not be as success- ful in the future as it is known to have been in the past.

Marine Insurance Account.

There is a balance of $26,069.43 at the credit of this account, the accumulation of three years, during which period the Bank has taken a risk on each of its treasure shipments by first class steamers to the extent of, at first $20,000, but now $30,000. The Directors look to the account becoming very remunerative in the course of time.

Directors.

Mr. WM. LEMANN has resigned his seat at the Board, and Mr. H. HOPPIUS has been elected in his stead.

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.

PRICE $8 per Copy.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 5TH SEPTEMBER, 1874. 409

Statement of objects and reasons.

This Ordinance is introduced under directions from the Secretary of State, in order to correct two verbal errors in No. 3 of 1874, in sections III and V (10), and to restore to schedule E, the regulations rumbered II, III and the latter part of VIII. These form part of the schedule to the Chinese Pas- sengers Act of 1855, and were, therefore, omitted from the consolidation, but it is thought better to include everything in one Ordinance.

Ordinance No. 3 of 1874 is repealed, and this Ordinance substituted. The only difference between the two being the foregoing additions and corrections; a verbal alteration in section VI (11), and the omission of the suspending clause by direction of the Secretary of State.

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.

PRICE $8 per Copy.

VOTES AND PROCEEDINGS OF THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL OF HONGKONG.

No. 10 OF 1874.

MONDAY, 31ST AUGUST, 1874.

PRESENT:

His Excellency Governor SIR ARTHUR EDWARD KENNEDY, K.C.M.G., C.B.

The Honorable the Chief Justice (SIR JOHN SMALE).

The Honorable the Colonial Secretary (JOHN GARDINER AUSTIN).

The Honorable the Attorney General (JOHN BRAMSTON).

The Honorable the Acting Treasurer (CECIL CLEMENTI SMITH).

The Honorable PHINEAS RYRIE.

The Honorable RICHARD ROWETT.

The Honorable WILLIAM HASTINGS ALEXANDER.

The Honorable JAMES WHITtall.

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

The Minutes of the Council held on the 12th August, are read and confirmed.

Read a first time a Bill to consolidate and amend the Law relating to Chinese Passenger Ships, and the

Conveyance of Chinese Emigrants.

　His Excellency states that this Bill is introduced in pursuance of instructions from the Secretary of State, and is merely a re-enactment of Ordinance No. 3 of 1874, with certain corrections and additions, as ordered by His Lordship. The despatch conveying those instruc- tions, being No. 57 of 10th July, is then laid on the Table and read.

i

　The Honorable the 'Attorney General, by direction of His Excellency, explains the amendments suggested by the Secretary of State,-who has also directed that the Bill should be passed without the Suspending clause.

The Honorable RICHARD ROWETT, in pursuance of notice, puts the following Question:--" What measures, if any, have been taken by the Government of Hongkong to obtain redress or satis- faction for the outrage which was committed at Ma-T'at, on the Island of Lamma, or Pok-Liu, on the 15th instant, by Chinese who fired from a Mandarin Junk upon some fishermen, three of whom were wounded."

The Honorable the Colonial Secretary, by direction of His Excellency, states in reply that the Question of the Honorable Member was referred to the Attorney General, who has advised that Lamma Island is not part of the Colony of Hongkong.

　The Honorable the Attorney General, by way of explanation, states that, although the Charter of the Colony speaks of Hongkong and its Dependencies, by Article III of the Treaty of Nanking the Emperor of China cedes to Her Majesty "the Island of Hongkong," to be possessed in perpetuity by Her Majesty. The words of the Article are not large enough to include Lamma, and it is obvious that the question must be decided by the express language of the Treaty.

416 THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 12TH SEPTEMBER, 1874.

The Honorable JAMES WHITTALL, pursuant to notice, puts the following Questions:-(1.) "Is the Powder Magazine on Kellett's Island used for Naval and Military purposes only, or is it used or intended to be used as a General Dep?t for the Storage of Gunpowder, &c." (2.) "What is the largest quantity of Gunpowder and other explosive substances supposed to be stored there, and what quantity of such articles is stored there now."

The Honorable the Colonial Secretary, by direction of His Excellency, states in reply, that the Questions of the Honorable Member were communicated to the Military Authorities, who considered it inexpedient to give any information relative to the quantity of Powder stored at Kellett's Island.

His Excellency adds, that the whole of the Powder belongs to the Imperial Government, and that, on Military grounds, the Officer Commanding has declined to give any information respecting the amount of Gunpowder or other stores contained in the Magazine.

The Council resolves itself into Committee, and resumes the discussion and consideration of the

Merchant Shipping Consolidation Bill, adjourned from the last Meeting.

The Honorable the Attorney General submits the amendments which the Special Committee, appointed

on the 10th August, are prepared to recommend in Section VII of the Bill.

The Council agrees to the proposed amendments in general; and it is Ordered that the Honorable the Colonial Secretary and the Honorable the Acting Treasurer be associated with the Members of the Special Committee for the purpose of framing Sub-section 4.

Section 16 is amended, and agreed to.

Section 21 having been struck out, it is Ordered that the Sections next after following be re-numbered in succession.

Section 27 is amended, and ordered to stand as Section 26.

His Excellency here lays on the Table the Report of the Harbor Master (H. G. THOMSETT, Esquire, R.N.), upon the modifications suggested in October, 1869, by the Commission of Inquiry into the operation of the "Harbor and Coasts Ordinance, 1866," and invites consideration of Part- III of the Bill in connection with the modifications then proposed,-remarking at the same time, that the Harbor Master is strongly of opinion that no change should be made in the Law as at present stands.

The Report of the Harbor Master is read, and the Provisions of Part III of the Bill are discussed Clause by Clause, and agreed to with certain verbal amendments.

During the discussion, it was moved by the Honorable the Acting Treasurer, and seconded by the Honorable PHINEAS RYRIE, that in Sub-sections 14 and 15 of Section 36 (now re-numbered and made Section 35), the words relating to the forfeiture of Junks be struck out.

A CHINESE AND ENGLISH DICTIONARY,

BY

THE REVD. W. L?BSCHEID.

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.

PRICE $8 per Copy.

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.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 17th September, 1874.

CIRCULAR.

J. GARDINER AUSTIN,

Colonial Secretary.

DOWNING STREET, 11th July, 1874.

　　　　SIR, I have the honor to transmit a Copy of an Act, 37 and 38 Victoria, cap. 27, which has passed this Session, intituled "An Act to regulate the sentences imposed by Colonial Courts where "jurisdiction to try is conferred by Imperial Acts."

　　　　2. As you are aware jurisdiction is given by certain Imperial Acts, as, for instance, 9 George 4, cap. 83, section 4, and 12 and 13 Victoria, cap. 96, to Colonial Courts to try offences committed beyond the jurisdiction of those Courts, and the persons convicted are made liable to suffer such pu- nishment as by any law or laws in force at the time of the passing of such Acts, they would have been liable to if the offence had been committed and tried in England..

　　　　3. Difficulties have recently arisen, both in Victoria and Malta, in deciding what sentences could be passed upon persons tried and convicted in the Colonial Courts for offences committed out of the Colonies, but made triable within them by Imperial Act; and the Act now transmitted has been passed with a view to prevent any such questions arising for the future.

　　　　4. The Act provides that such punishment may be inflicted in such cases as might have been inflicted if the offences had been committed within the Colony.

　　　　5. The Act also includes cases, if any, where offences, if committed within the local jurisdiction of a Colonial Court, are by Imperial Act made punishable according to the Law of England.

　　　　6. Moreover, special provision is made at the end of the third section to meet the case of an offence not punishable by the Law of the Colony in which the trial takes place; and the Colonial Court is in such case empowered to impose such punishment (other than capital punishment) as shall seem to the Court most nearly to correspond to the punishment to which such person would have been liable in case such crime or offence had been tried in England.

7. These cases will, probably, be of rare occurrence; but it was thought desirable to embrace all possible cases, and to make the legislation upon the subject final and complete.

　　　　8. The usual steps should be taken to make the provisons of this Act known in the Colony under your

Government.

A CHINESE AND ENGLISH DICTIONARY,

BY

THE REVD. W. LOBSCHEID.

THE above work, which has been chiefly com-

Tpiled 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.

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.

FIRE BRIGADE Department,

HONGKONG, 13th October, 1874.

　　　　SIR, I have the honor to report that at 10 minutes to 5 A M. a Fire broke out on the upper floor (being the second story) of No. 134, Queen's Road, the back door of which opens to Wellington Street. The ground floor was occupied by a Shoe and Small Wares dealer, and the upper floor by a Chinese female.

The fire commenced in the verandah, which was constructed of wood, and being a very old house the flames immediately burst out with considerable violence and communicated to the wooden verandahs of the houses in the same row, Nos. 132, 136, and 138.

　　　　The alarm bells were rung and the several fire Engines were speedily at the place. The "Imperial Insurance Company's" hand Engine, (Messrs. GIBB LIVINGSTON & Co., Agents,) being close at hand was promptly got to work with two branches of delivery hose from the street mains at the Cross Roads. One of the Government Brigade hand Engines also arrived quickly and was got to work in Wellington Street immediately in rear of the house on fire.

Three hand Engines of the Chinese Associations next arrived and rendered service.

The "Hongkong Fire Insurance Company's" Steam Engine and No. 2 Government Brigade Steam Engine, each with two lengths of delivery hose worked from the sea. Steam Engine got steam up, but did not work efficiently until the fire had been subdued, owing to No. 1 Government one of the valves becoming clogged. This defect was removed and the Engine worked well.

　　　　　The fire communicated to the four houses before mentioned which from the inflammable character of their contents (being two Carpenter shops and a paper dealer's), were entirely burned down; the upper story of No. 130 was also damaged.

Detachments of Seamen and Marines from H. M. Ships Elk and Curlew arrived at 6 A.M., and rendered service by working at the hand Engines.

An offer of Military assistance was made, but it was found unnecessary to avail of it. The Honorable the Major-General commanding Her Majesty's Troops came to the scene at 6 A.M. and mentioned that the troops were in readiness if required.

　　　　A strong force of Police was on the ground and kept order and regularity. No robbery has been reported, other than one case, wherein the thief was apprehended.

Captain Superintendent of Police to Colonial Secretary.

VICTORIA, HONGKONG,

30th September, 1874.

SIR,-I have the honor to forward, for the information of H. E. the Governor, the following particulars as to deaths and losses caused by the Typhoon of 22nd and 23rd September, 1874, on the Island of Hongkong and in British Kowloong..

2. The bodies of 17 Europeans and 604 Chinese have been recovered by the Police, and by them buried, or by the friends of the deceased.

3. Over 200 houses have been destroyed or rendered uninhabitable, as recorded in Appendix ?; one house was also burnt.

?

　　　　4. Two steamers, Albay and Leonor, have sunk in the Harbor, and the Pacific Mail Company's Steamer Alaska valued at $250,000, is on shore near Aberdeen, and will with difficulty be got off.

About eight Ships are supposed to have been lost.

5. The destruction of Chinese Junks and small boats, it is impossible to estimate. At Stone Cutters' Island about 100 were stranded; at Shau-ki-w?n 37 large Junks, and several house boats; at Aberdeen about 100 Junks and Sampans; at Stanley no boat was left when the Typhoon was over.

6. The telegraph posts were blown down in different parts of the Island, so as to prevent all communication. The majority of the lamp posts also lost their lanterns, and the Gas Works were so damaged that Gas could not be supplied to the Streets for two nights.

7. The roads were almost impassable from the obstruction caused by the fallen trees.

8. The loss of personal property is also great, nearly every person complaining of some loss or damage.

　　　　　9. The details that I have given above are of necessity meagre, the number of bodies recovered in all probability represents only of the actual loss. In many cases the Junks and Ships have gone down with their crews on board, and are thus probably buried in their vessels.

　　　　10. I enclose readings of the barometer taken at the Central Station by the Colonial Surgeon during the Typhoon,

I have the honor to be,

Sir,

The above refer to Chinese among whom, of course, the greatest number of Deaths occurred. may take this opportunity of reporting to His Excellency the great aid given by the Board of Direction of the Tung-Wa Hospital in the late serious emergency. The Board hired boats and engaged men through whose instrumentality as many as 193 bodies of those enumerated above were buried.

Further, they hired the Sir Jamsetjee Jeejeebhoy, steamer, and one of the members of the Board searched the neighbouring headlands and inlets, where they buried several other bodies of their countrymen, as well as those of two Europeans.

　　　　The energy displayed and the good work done by the Board deserves, I think, some recognition. from the Government.

·

574 THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 17TH OCTOBER, 1874.

Colonial Secretary,

Surveyor General to Colonial Secretary.

CECIL C. SMITH,

Registrar General.

SURVEYOR GENERAL'S OFFICE,

HONGKONG, 9th October, 1874.

　　　SIR,-Pending the completion of more detailed accounts, I have the honour to submit, for the information of His Excellency the Governor, the present brief memorandum of the damage done to the city and outlying villages by the typhoon of the 23rd ultimo.

Doubtless the Harbour Master's Report will have contained a full account of all meteorological phenomena connected with the gale, and it will not therefore be necessary to repeat them here. It is to be regretted that no record should have been obtained of the pressure of the wind, as the Meteoro- logical Station connected with the Government Hospital was swept away when that building col- lapsed, and no vestige was left of the Anemometrical register. That the island, however, was not many miles distant from the focus of the cyclone is proved not only by the intensity of the wind, but by a feature known to exist only within such a focus, namely, the abrupt intervals of calm during the height of the gale. These lulls were instantaneous often lasting as long as four or five minutes, and alternating with the most violent gusts, equally sudden, the conjoint action of the two became, as it were, that of a battering ram. To these sudden shocks, continued for three hours, buildings finally succumbed, that would have withstood the same pressure of the wind, had the latter been constant and steady.

Although the gale is said to have culminated while blowing from E.N.E., I find that it must have been almost as severe from the North and North-East, for quite as many buildings, fences, and walls in Victoria were found thrown over towards the South as in the direction of the West.

　　　　It was not, however, until after 1 A.M. that the wind had attained a sufficient force to cause the havoc which followed, and as this force had abated very considerably before 4 A.M., the entire work of destruction in Hongkong may be said to have been accomplished within the space of three hours. This does not, however, refer to life or property afloat, for in many places, junks and native craft had already been blown adrift and were foundering shortly after midnight.

The villages in Kowloon were for a time sheltered by the mountains at the back of that Peninsula and enjoyed comparative immunity until the wind following the cyclonic curve took them in flank and blew down the houses towards the West and North-West.

The following is a tabulated statement of the deaths which have occurred from the fall of buildings, of the number of houses totally destroyed, and of the number of houses so damaged as to necessitate their reconstruction. The number of buildings unroofed or otherwise damaged, but not sufficiently so to entail their removal, is too large to be accurately ascertained in time for this Report, but it is roughly estimated that only four per cent of the houses in Victoria have escaped. In other words, from four to six thousand dwellings may be said to have suffered more or less according to their exposed or sheltered positions.

The Government Inspectors also report that the villages of Hok-Y?n, Ma-t'au-wai, Tokwawan, Matowkok, and Matowchung have been left without a house standing, and that the ruins of the two ?latter have been deserted by the villagers.

　　　　The foregoing table only gives the number of people who were found dead or dying under the ruins of houses, but it is feared, although no record can be obtained, that a very large number must have received bodily injuries, as it is known that as houses became unroofed and were threatened with annihilation, their inmates left them and went into the streets when the latter were quite dark and when building d?bris, roofing tiles and other missiles were being hurled from every housetop with a force almost beyond credence.

Towards 2 A.M., the violence of the wind had driven before it such a large volume of water into the harbour through the Lyeemoon Pass, that at this hour, which under ordinary circumstances should have been that of low water, the sea had risen considerably above the datum of high water and was washing over the lower portions of the City. Before 3 A.M., the Gas Works were submerged, and the gas supply being cut off, the City was during these most anxious moments suddenly plunged in darkness. About this time, Mr. CREAGH, the Deputy Superintendent of Police, and some other gentle- men who had collected together a few volunteers to put out a fire, which had broken out in Jervois Street, report that the latter as well as the streets between it, Bonham Strand, and the Praya, were four feet under water, that the people were up to their waists in water; and that the waves were buffet- ing the fire engine so that it could not be used. This evidence is corroborated by the marks left on many buildings after the sea retired, among others, the Harbour Master's Office had five feet of water in its lower storey.

　　　　The entire sea frontage of the City has been very seriously damaged. The Praya wall for a length of of a mile between the City Hall and Toong Kai Street has been broken up, and will have to be entirely rebuilt with new material. From Toong Kai Street as far as the Sailors' Home, a distance of one mile, the wall shows so many breaches, and is altogether so undermined that it is still a matter of doubt whether long sections of it may not require rebuilding in like manner.

In many places from the Eastern Guard House to East Point, the sea wall has also given way and will require reconstruction on a more solid basis than has hitherto been adopted in Hongkong. But as the very important subject of the sea defence of the City is one of special Report, now under preparation, it will be premature to dilate upon it in this memorandum.

　　　　After the sea retired, the Praya embankment, which previously formed one of the most capacious business thoroughfares of the City, was left in places like a sloping beach covered with the stones and concrete d?bris of the sea wall together with wrecks and spars. All these heaped one upon another, rendered the embankment almost impassable. In places where the sea wall was knocked down and the embankment behind it scoured away, some of the large mansions fronting the sea, and which are occupied by the principal merchants of the Colony, were already being undermined by the waves and they would have inevitably fallen had the gale lasted a few hours longer.

　　　　The wharves, both public and private, built out at right angles to the Praya along the whole extent of the City, have been swept away or otherwise injured, with the exception of the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Ship Company's new jetty and the Hongkong Pier, both timber structures. Of the Government piers, but few have been left in such a condition as to be worth repairing, and it is deserving of attention that those apparently solid structures which were made of ashlar granite, succumbed long before the timber jetties in their neighbourhood.

　　　　The whole of Victoria is drained and sewered into the harbour, the drainage being led out at intervals along the Praya wall. The destruction of the wall, entailing the destruction of the sewer

　outlets, plugged for a time every channel of escape, and the sewage becoming dammed and stagnant, after twenty-four hours became putrid. The clog was rendered still more effective by the mass of sand which the waves washed on to the ruins so that many of the sewers became tightly packed or imbedded in it. The natural result was a most pestilential smell, rendered still more deleterious by the deadly f?tor of decomposing human bodies which continued to be washed ashore for several days. Happily, however, in spite of the hot weather which followed, the Public Health has not suffered, and after forty-eight hours, when the panic had in a measure subsided, and workmen could gradually be got together, gangs were employed to clear away the d?bris and to restore things to their normal condition.

　　　In the country, many isolated houses have been knocked down, and the paddy fields and meadows under cultivation, which skirt the foreshores of the island, have for the most part been inundated by the sea.

The rice crops have been destroyed and much misery has been entailed upon the poorest of

the community.

　　　I have the honour to append herewith an interesting report from the Superintendent of the Government Gardens, upon the damage done to the gardens and plantations of the Colony. When we call to mind the constant and laborious care which has been taken to induce upon this bare and ungenerous soil an artificial vegetation, and the successful and gratifying results which had so far attended these efforts, we cannot but be disheartened at the disastrous finale which has closed the efforts of so many years. A large proportion of the handsome and well-grown Banians and India rubber trees which lined the streets of the City and the roads leading out of it, have been blown down, and so many have been injured that we may not enjoy their grateful shade for years to come.

　　　The Government Telegraph lines throughout the island were destroyed, the wind in many instances snapping the telegraph poles close to the ground. The shore ends of the submarine cables were also broken and communication severed.

In regard to Government buildings, I have the honour to report that nearly all have suffered to some extent, and that estimates of the cost of their repairs are being prepared and will be duly submitted.

Government House, together with the Law Courts, the Lock Hospital, and the Government Offices have escaped with greater immunity than any other buildings. In the latter, a chimney stack was blown down and fell through the roof; with the exception of this, and a few doors and windows blown in, there has been no damage of any consequence to report.

　　　Government Civil Hospital. This ricketty old structure has been left in so ruined a state as to be no longer habitable. During the earlier stages of the gale, the doors and windows fronting the North were blown in one after another, and the wind having found a vent into the upper storey soon upheaved the roof carrying away portions of it to a distance of 200 yards. The brick verandahs on the South side were forced out of the perpendicular until they toppled over, and a part of the ceilings of the wards fell in. For more than an hour the terrified patients ran considerable risk of being killed, and Dr. CLAPHAM, the Resident Surgeon, informs me that owing to the intense darkness and the deafening roar of the wind, it was with the utmost difficulty that he succeeded in getting them together and sheltering them in one room of the lower storey, which had fortunately been but lately repaired, so that it was able to hold out till daylight.

Victoria Gaol has portions unroofed, some of the windows of the north-eastern frontage blown in and glass broken. A survey was held under my direction after the typhoon, but no part of the Gaol was found so unsafe as to render possible the escape of prisoners. The principal damages to this building have been since made good.

Stone Cutters' Island Gaol.-This huge and imposing pile, founded by SIR HERCULES ROBINSON and designed to accommodate a convict establishment of 600 persons is now a heap of ruins. Many of the main walls are so cracked and so much out of plumb that they will have to be knocked down to prevent future accidents. The greater portions of the roof fell in, carrying away and crushing under it, the long galleries which divided the lines of cells. The basement portion of the eastern wing which was used as a Powder Magazine was buried in d?bris and the fall of the building entailed no inconsiderable risk of an explosion. The powder was, however, subsequently removed from under the ruins, and safely stored in the Hulk which is anchored off the island. The upper floors of Stone Cutters' Island Gaol were fortunately not tenanted.

　　　　Central Police Barracks and Police Stations.-Of all the Police buildings, the Police Officers' quarters have fared worst. These were unroofed and had some of the doors and windows in the North front blown in. The house was otherwise very severely shaken, some of the chimneys being blown down through the roof. The Central Police Barracks have also been partially unroofed, and much of the woodwork is destroyed. In the outlying villages, the Police Stations of Shau-ki-Wan and Stanley have suffered most, both have been very severely shaken, and I fear the latter will have to be almost entirely rebuilt. The Police Station at Yow-ma-tee was for a time four feet under water, and when the sea receded, it left a steam launch and other craft stranded on its basement floor.

The General Post Office, though it does not show many external signs of injury, has been greatly strained, owing to the weakness of the roof timbers. These have been in many places hollowed out by white ants, which for a short time back have infested the roof. I fear that a new roof to a portion of the house will be necessary..

577

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 17TH OCTOBER, 1874. Markets.—The six principal markets of Victoria have experienced the fate of other buildings, in some cases, having their roofs untiled, in others as in the Central market, having portions of their outer walls blown in, or so shattered as to require rebuilding.

Public Schools.-The insecure foundations of the Central School, made manifest by the earthquake of five months ago, have become still more so since the typhoon. Portions of the roof have come away from the walls, and these have got slightly out of the perpendicular. A part of the tiling over the western Class Room has been stripped off, and some damage done to doors and windows. As it is contemplated at no distant date to erect a new School with increased accommodation, it will not be necessary, in regard to the Central School to go to greater expense than will suffice to maintain it Three out of the four other Public Schools of the City have in safety for a year or two to come. escaped with trifling damages, but the fourth one, i. e., Syingpoon School, has lost the roof off its western front.

The Police Courts have been partly unroofed, and the eastern verandahs laid in ruins. Harbour Master's Office.-The unsheltered site of this public office, which is only 50 feet away from the Praya wall, exposed it to two dangers, and it has come through the ordeal much better than . could have been expected. While the gale was stripping off the roofing, the sea that had At one time there were five feet of water in knocked down the Praya was battering against its walls. the basement, and the breakers were sending their spray over its roof. In spite of this, the damage is surprisingly small, being limited to portions of the roof which are untiled and to doors and windows which are shattered and unhinged. The meteorological station was however entirely swept away, and not a trace of the instruments remains. The Harbour Officers' quarters have been very much shaken, and the tower over the building will have to be pulled down, as it is injured beyond repair.

$

The Clock Tower was much shaken, and the dials of the town clock were blown in and shattered

to pieces.

　　　　The Pokfoolum Reservoir, which was full before the typhoon, had the water lifted out of it in sheets. and hurled over the embankment. The embankment has not suffered material damage, the ballast on the inner slope was washed away, but has since been replaced. The guage basin and outlet pipe was so choked with ballast and sand, that the water supply to the City had to be cut off for a day to allow the outlet works to be cleaned and repaired.

　　　　Victoria Peak Buildings.-I do not think the Governor will require any information of me in regard to Mountain Lodge, since His Excellency passed the memorable night of the 23rd inside that house while it was being reduced to its present melancholy condition. The Aid-de-camp's bungalow has been so destroyed as to be no longer tenantable, and it will therefore have to be pulled down. The Pavilion or Public Officers' quarters, a wooden frame house, had one of its sides knocked in, and the tiling stripped off the roof. The new Sanitarium recently finished was also partially unroofed and lost several doors and windows. The Signal Station on the summit of Victoria Peak, has likewise been seriously injured, and will have to be rebuilt.

The Light Houses at Cape D'Aguilar and Green Island have not been seriously damaged. The Keeper's dwellings were partially unroofed.

Of the different Public buildings not Government offices, the Cathedral seems to have fared best, owing to its sheltered position against the irresistible power of the North-East wind. The Presbyterian Church was partially unroofed as also the Roman Catholic Cathedral. St. Joseph's Church in Garden Road was laid in ruins, two of its walls having been knocked down almost to the ground. The pediment of the City Hall was blown over and completely crushed the front portico of that building. Some of the Barracks and other buildings belonging to the Military Authorities in the village of Stanley were blown down, and are now like the village itself a heap of ruins.

The City presents altogether a truly distressing sight, and it will be a long time before it recovers its normal state.

But the typhoon has not been without its lessons, for it has shown us how inadequate to cope against the fury of the wind is the style of building which the Colony has adopted. It may perhaps, on the other hand, not without truth, be said that the occurrence of the 23rd was unprecedented in the history of Hongkong, and that its effects could not therefore have been provided against or mitigated.

I will shortly have the honour to submit, for the information of His Excellency the Governor, estimates of the cost of restoring the Public buildings to their former condition.

No time has however been lost in the work of re-roofing the more important buildings, lest a sudden storm of rain should increase the damage already done.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient Servant,

The Honorable J. GARDINER AUSTIN,

Colonial Secretary,

Superintendent of Government Gardens to Surveyor General.

GOVERNMENT Gardens, HONGKONG, 2nd October, 1874.

　　　　SIR,-I have the honour to forward, in compliance with instructions conveyed in C.S.O. No. 2862, a Report on the damage sustained by trees, shrubs, &c., during the late typhoon.

GOVERNMENT GARDENS.

　　　　In the gardens, the largest trees, as might have been expected, suffered the most severely. Several of the oldest and largest have been entirely destroyed, e. g., one of the two large "Banians" Ficus retusa, some Casuarinas, a few of the old trees of Pinus sinensis, against the water tank, a fine Longan, a Tetranthera, a good tree of Sophora Japonica, and a few good Poincianas regia, although these, some of the finest specimen individual trees have been destroyed, the kinds are not lost to the gardens, as there are other specimens remaining of all those species. Many other specimens which were equally as fine as the above, although not destroyed, are severely damaged, having nearly the whole of their branches broken off, or the trees themselves laid prostrate on the ground. Many of the trees which have their branches broken off, but which have not had their roots broken or too severely strained, will, during the next year produce other very vigorous branches and luxuriant foliage.

A considerable number of the smaller trees and shrubs are entirely destroyed by having been broken off at the ground; while others have been blown over and a great portion of their roots exposed to air and light to such an extent as to be inimical to their well doing: many of their roots were also much lacerated, which will certainly much injure the health of the plants, although probably only in a few cases sufficiently to cause their deaths. Operations were at once commenced. for the preservation of as many of the trees and shrubs as there was any prospect of saving, and the greater portion of them are now replanted and supported.

　　　　The effects of this typhoon will be apparent on the general appearance and health of the plants for many years, in many cases the plants will never recover their former vigour during their existence. The continual straining and breakage both to roots and branches which plants are subject to here in the numerous typhoons, will always prevent them being developed into such perfect specimens as are generally seen in gardens that are not visited by such terrific hurricanes.

The flowerpots containing plants in various parts of the gardens were broken in great numbers, but the plants themselves, excepting annuals, which can soon be replaced, although greatly disfigured, will in a little time recover their former appearances.

In the nurseries, the plants in pots have been considerably disturbed in the soil, and consequently slightly injured, but from this they will soon recover.

FOREST DEPARTMENT.

In the streets and roads, a large number of fine and aged trees have been blown down or so much damaged as to necessitate their removal at once, which has been done. The localities in which trees have suffered most severely are in the part of Queen's Road near the Military Store Department, where the trees were very large; in Queen's Road at Spring Gardens, where about half a dozen fine trees were lost; in the Cricket Ground; one fine tree near the entrance to the City Hall; in Caine- Road and Bonhami Road; in Garden Road; and in the vicinity of the Government Offices. A very large number of the younger trees have also been much loosened and blown down, which has injured the roots more or less, thus checking their growth for some time.

I have observed that in nearly all cases where trees were blown down in the typhoon of September, 1871, and those trees were again set upright and have continued to grow up to the late typhoon, they have again fallen, and in several cases are this time entirely destroyed, thus proving as a general rule that when once a tree suffers so severely as to cause its prostration, that little reliance can be placed on that tree ever afterwards continuing or becoming a round and healthy one.

+

　　　　Bowrington Compound.-Most of the largest trees here were blown down and a few of them broken off above or at the roots. All that showed any signs of life or prospect of recovery have been again set upright and supported, which will perhaps preserve them for a few years, until pine trees, which I purpose planting there next year, grow to some size. The greater portion of the compound exhibits signs of having been flooded with salt water, or perhaps a mixture of fresh and salt water, and if this is so, we may expect the trees to be still further injured, or their recovery retarded by the salt which must have been deposited in the soil.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient Servant,.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 171H OCTOBER, 1874. 579

Harbor Master to Colonial Secretary.

[No. 198.]

HARBOR DEPARTMENT, HONGKONG, 14th October, 1874.

SIR, For the information of His Excellency the Governor, I have the honor to transmit a Report of the Typhoon and of the principal casualties that occurred in this Harbor on the morning of the 23rd ultimo.

　　　　　　The morning of the 22nd commenced fine, with the Barometer at 29.85-the average range of the previous four days.

　　　　　As the day advanced the atmosphere became unsettled, and, notwithstanding that the wind was North West it was accompanied by an oppressive heat, the Thermometer being 85° Farhenheit.

The Barometer began to fall at noon and steadily went down, until at 4 P.M. it was 29.74. The wind, which at this time was about North North West, began to blow in fitful gusts across the Harbor, and it became evident that a Typhoon was approaching.

The Steam-launch was sent round to warn the Junks that they must at once seek shelter in Kowloon Bay, on the North side of the Harbor. With the exception of five, they all left their anchorage; these subsequently became wrecks at West Point.

The Barometer continued to fall slowly until 10.30 P.M. when it stood at 29.40, the wind having veered to North. Between 10.30 P.M. and 2 A.M., the Barometer fell upwards of half an inch' and stood at 28.88-its lowest range-for about an hour.

　　　　　At 2 A.M., the wind suddenly shifted to North East and then to East North East and blew with terrible violence. The strength of the wind brought an immense volume of water into the Harbor, not a tidal wave, but a rapid rise which continued for about an hour, flooding the Praya and ground floors of houses to a height of four and five feet for some distance in shore.

Although, according to ordinary calculation it should have been low water at two o'clock; by three, the water had risen to from five to six feet above its high water level, or a rise of about ten feet had taken place.

As the storm subsided, the wind gradually veered to South East and by seven A.M. it was fine. Under such circumstances it is not surprising that the loss of Shipping and Junks should have been so much greater than it has been during any previous Typhoon. But few vessels held on to their anchors without dragging, and many that would otherwise have remained stationary were fouled by other ships and dragged also-in some instances to go down together.

　　　　　The Master of the British Barque Falcon tells me that his Ship dragged on to what he supposes was the British Barque Malvern; that the collision stove the Falcon's stern in, but that the Malvern's bows suffered so badly that she went down head foremost with all hands on board just after the Falcon had drifted clear of her.

　　　　　Another instance is recorded of the German Barque Maury fouling the German Barque Aldebaran causing her to sink; the crew of the latter vessel got on board the Maury, but she was so damaged, that, after being fouled by two Steamers, she also sunk but later in the day; the crew escaping by means of their boats after the storm had subsided. One vessel, however, the British Barque Charlotte Andrews held to her anchors, although she had been fouled by other craft, and saw nine vessels drift past her.

　　　　　It is painful to report that two Spanish Steamers are lying sunk alongside the sea wall at the centre of the City. A strict regard to the readings of the Barometer and the general appearance of the weather should have warned the Captains of those vessels to seek shelter the evening before the Typhoon set in.

　　　　　The German Barque Everhard was thrown over a reef of rocks on to a sandy beach on the North East point of Lantao; and a Siamese Brig drifted, ultimately becoming a total wreck on the Island of Cheong Chow Ching.

　　　　　The cases above described are inserted with a view to showing the manner in which the storm acted on some of the vessels.

　　　　　I am of opinion that the casualties to the British and foreign shipping would not have been so great had more of the vessels been provided with heavier anchors; and had cable been veered at an earlier stage of the storm than was apparently done. But the sudden shiftings of the wind and the simultaneous rise of tide were doubtless the principal causes of the deplorable losses afloat.

Junks and smaller boats are so ill provided with ground tackle that the rise of the water was of

itself enough to cause their anchors to start from their holding ground.

　　　　　No place was safe for this kind of craft. Stone Cutters' Island and Kowloon Bays, usually such safe harbors of refuge during a Typhoon, seem to have availed them nothing, the beaches of these places being literally strewed with wreck.

　　　　　The loss of life is most distressing. Of British and foreign shipping alone, there is an estimated loss of 200 persons composed of all classes and nationalities.

580

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 17TH OCTOBER, 1874.

　　I append a Report of the losses sustained by Chinese Junks as far as they could be ascertained, but this does not by any means show the terrible havoc which the Typhoon has made with this description of vessel. I have only been enabled to count vessels stranded; and those sunk, having their masts above water. Hundreds of smallers Junks and boats must have been driven out to sea, or, gone down in the Harbor of which nothing can ever be known.

From the log books of ships that have experienced this Typhoon at sea and where the Masters have registered the readings of their Barometers, I have been able to ascertain that the Typhoon blew with great violence in the neighbourhood of the Pratas Shoal, the British ship Onward, the American ship Highlander, and German barque Amanda having been in it between the hours of 4 and 6 P.M., of the 22nd. The storm travelled thence in a North-Westerly direction, the Spanish steamer Formosa in Latitude 20° 50' North and Longitude 115° 20′ East, being on its Western limit. but just South of Hongkong at about 2 A.M., of the 23rd, its full burst being apparently expended at The centre passed Macao, where it raged at about 4 A.M., the Barometer at that place then registering 27.95, or nearly one inch lower than it was at Hongkong.

　　The Onward did not suffer much in this Typhoon, but on the 29th when about 60 miles East of the South end of Formosa she encountered another storm necessitating the cutting away of the main mast and her return to this port to repair damages.

　　The recent Typhoon is without doubt the severest that has ever visited this Colony, whether we judge by the losses afloat or on shore. The loss of life in the Junk return is but an approximation of what has occurred; that of the British and foreign shipping is, I think, tolerably accurate as the numbers of original crews and of persons saved could more readily be obtained; but, where passengers were on board such vessels, the returns may not be so reliable.

　　A Report of this nature is generally accompanied by some suggestion to meet the exigencies of similar casualties should they visit us.

　　To the Captains of ships visiting this Port, who are as capable of judging of the weather as I am, I can only offer the suggestion that the Barometer is an unfailing indicator of what is approaching, or what is passing our neighbourhood. With good ground tackle; a clear hawse; and plenty of cable, veered before the storm is at its height; almost any British or foreign built vessel should be able to ride out a Typhoon in this Harbor.

The Department warns Junks of the probability of dangerous weather, but with the indifferent provision Chinese make for such emergencies, it is no wonder there is always so much destruction and Joss of life amongst them.

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.

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.

Statement:-

upon

"In reply to the questions of the Honorable Member, I have to state that the fire bell was not rung, nor were the other Members of the Fire Brigade summoned on the occasion referred to, because in the opinion of the Captain Superintendent of Police, (first,) such a pro- ceeding would have been inexpedient, in face of other requisitions likely to be made the Reserve Force of the Police; and, (secondly,) because the staff detailed for the service was expected to be sufficient, as the result proved.

Statement of Objects and Reasons.

This Ordinance is the result of correspondence that has pas- sed between the Secretary of State and His Excellency the Governor upon the subject of obtaining more complete safety for monies and securities transferred to the Official Trustee under the Ordinance No. 7 of 1873.

This object is effected in sections I to VIII, by substituting the Colonial Treasury as the place of deposit for a Bank as directed by the above mentioned Ordinance, and by giving detailed instructions as to the mode of dealing with such pro- perties after they have been received at the Treasury.

Sections IX to XI introduce a new subject, and extend the principle of the Ordinance of 1873 to cases where persons desire to nominate the Official Trustee directly as Trustee of their property.

There is no provision for this at present, and property can now only come to the Official Trustee from private Trustees, who desire to be relieved of their responsibilities.

CECIL C. SMITH, Acting Colonial Secretary.

FINDING.

1. We find that the British Steamer White Cloud, Official Number 50,651, broke adrift from a Wharf in the inner Harbor of Macao during a Typhoon which passed over that place on the morning of the 23rd ultimo; and was capsized on a bank nearly a mile to the North of the Wharf where she had been lying.

2.-We find that, although at 6 P.M. of the 22nd ultimo, there was reasonable indication that severe weather was to be expected; the White Cloud was kept alongside the Wharf, to which she had been lashed, without steam being up or the fires laid ready for getting steam.

3. We find that no attempt was made to place the White Cloud in a position of greater safety than the Wharf offered; and although there were two Chinese Pilots on board, they were not con- sulted as to the propriety of moving the vessel to a safe anchorage.

4.-We find from the evidence of the Master of the British Steamer Poyang, a vessel lying close to where the White Cloud was moored, that he hauled his vessel from her Wharf into the Stream at 6 P.M.; and that the Poyang, with steam up, safely rode out the Storm.

5.-We are of opinion that the Master and First Mate of the White Cloud displayed gross ignorance and neglect in the management of the vessel entrusted to their care; and, although these Officers hold Certificates of Competency they, in this emergency, shewed themselves unfit to fill the posts which they respectively occupied.

VOTES AND PROCEEDINGS OF THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL OF HONGKONG.

No. 13 of 1874.

MONDAY, 26TH OCTOBER, 1874.

PRESENT:

His Excellency JOHN GARDINER AUSTIN, Administrator.

The Honorable the Chief Justice (SIR JOHN SMALE).

The Honorable the Acting Colonial Secretary (CECIL CLEMENTI SMITH).

The Honorable the Attorney General (JOHN BRAMSTON).

The Honorable the Acting Colonial Treasurer (CHARLES MAY).

The Honorable PHINEAS RYRIE.

The Honorable RICHARD ROWETT.

The Honorable WILLIAM HASTINGS ALEXANDER.

The Honorable JAMES WHITTALL.

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

The Minutes of the Council held on the 15th October are being read, when-

1

The Honorable the Acting Colonial' Secretary rises on a point of order, and moves that the Protest of the Honorable PHINEAS RYRIE be not placed on the Minutes of the Council, because such Protest is against the action of the Head of the Executive, and not against any decision of the majority of the Council.

The Honorable the Acting Treasurer seconds the motion.

The Honorable the Chief Justice, and the Honorable the Attorney General express their opinion that the Protest referred to cannot properly be entered on the Minutes for the reasons stated.

The Honorable the Acting Colonial Secretary withdraws his motion, leaving the point of order to be

settled by the President.

The Honorable PHINEAS RYRIE moves, that his Protest which he had forwarded to the Clerk of the Councils in his capacity as a Member of this Council, should be placed on the Minutes.

The Honorable RICHARD ROWETT seconds the motion.

His Excellency the Administrator rules that, as a point of order, the Honorable Member's motion cannot be put, nor can his Protest be entered on the Minutes. His Excellency adds, that the Protest will be forwarded to the Secretary of State.

The Minutes of the 15th October, the reading of which is resumed, are then confirmed. His Excellency lays on the Table the Appropriation Bill for 1875, and makes the following Statement:-

　“Gentlemen,—The Estimates for 1875 were in the hands of the printers when the Colony was visited by the late disastrous Typhoon. The losses then sustained were so immediately evident, and the damages done to Buildings and Works, both Public and Private, so apparent, that there could be no doubt of the inability of the Colony either to provide the estimated revenue, or to meet the proposed outlay for further works, simultaneously with the heavy and unexpected charges thrown upon it by the Typhoon. The original Estimates were consequently withdrawn, and it was only during the past week that the Reports of the Surveyor General were subitted in a form sufficiently accurate to enable the Government to decide what changes should be made.

?

3

622

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 14TH NOVEMBER, 1874.

"In the Estimates now laid by me on the table, allowance has been made as well for the falling off of Revenue consequent on the dullness of Trade, as for the destruction of property, both ashore and afloat, caused by the Typhoon. A decrease of $31,811 has been allowed for the Revenue of 1874, and a difference of $42,408 has been made in the estimated Revenue of 1875, as compared with that actually received in 1873.

"I have no doubt, therefore, that the estimates made of your Revenue and Resources will prove accurate and safe, and it will be for you to consider and approve the expenditure proposed within such limits, or to suggest such changes as may, in your opinion, be needed.

"Your Resources for 1875 are estimated at $908,840, and the charges proposed to be laid thereon, inclusive of $50,000 for Typhoon damages, amount to $869,347.60. This will not leave any large surplus, but nevertheless it should and will, I trust, amply suffice for any moderate and unforeseen contingencies which may arise.

"The charges for the Departments already existing vary little from those of former years, but with $6,428 added for Light Houses, and the increased provision required for the Puisne Judge's salary and that of the Assistant Surveyor, the entire cost of the Establishments will be $566,027.60 in 1875, as against $558,039.60 in 1874. I do not see how any material changes could be made without impairing the efficiency of the Service.

"In reference to Works and Buildings, the outlay for which is estimated at $104,000, you will perceive that one half must of necessity be absorbed by Typhoon repairs. This sadly cripples our resources for other Works of importance, especially the, new Hospital and the Central School, the former of which is all the more urgently called for by the destruction of the old building by the Typhoon.

"I trust that, with a view to the early completion of those two undertakings, we shall be able to make arrangements whereby the cost may be spread over some years.

"For Roads, Streets and Bridges, the sum of $37,220 is put down, including the item of $10,000 for the City sewerage, the necessity of which will not, I apprehend, be questioned.

"It would be very desirable if this work could also be at once completed without any heavy strain on the annual resources of the Colony.

"With these brief explanations, I lay the Estimates for the year 1875 before you, together with the Ordinance by which it is proposed to give legal effect to them; and have only further to add that, as suggested by the Earl of CARNARVON'S Despatch of the 6th of March, 1874, I am quite prepared at once to appoint a Sub-Committee to consider and report upon the former." The Bill is then Read a first time, viz.:-

A Bill to apply a sum not exceeding Seven Ilundred and Thirty Thousand Dollars to the Public Service of the Year 1875.

His Excellency nominates the following Members to form the Sub-Committee to consider and report upon the Estimates:-The Acting Colonial Secretary, the Acting Colonial Treasurer, Mr. RYRIE, and Mr. WHITTALL.

The following Bills are also read a first time, viz. :—

(1.) A Bill to control recruiting in the Colony of Hongkong for the Service of Foreign States.

.) A Bill to provide for the Security of Properties vested in the “Official Trustee.” The Acting Colonial Secretary, by direction of His Excellency the Administrator, moves that the

following Votes be placed on the Supplementary Estimates for 1874:-

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.

ABSENT:

His Excellency the Governor (SIR ARTHUR EDWARD KENNEDY, K.C.M.G., C.B.) The Honorable the Chief Justice (SIR JOHN SMALE),—absent on leave,

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

The Honorable the Colonial Secretary, in taking the Chair, reads a letter from His Excellency the

Governor stating his inability to attend the Council.

The Honorable JAMES WHITTALL begs, on behalf of the Council, to express the sympathy which the Members feel for the cause which has prevented His Excellency from being present at the meeting.

The Minutes of the Council held on the 26th October, are read, corrected, and confirmed.

The Appropriation Bill for 1875 is read a second time,

The Honorable the Colonial Treasurer brings up the Report of the Sub-Committee appointed to

consider and report upon the Estimates for the ensuing year, which is as follows:-

}

632

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 21ST NOVEMBER, 1874.

We have not deemed it expedient to suggest any alteration in the Estimates for the Police Establishment, but while acknowledging the happy immunity which the Colony enjoys from serious crime, we think that having regard to the size, population, and Revenue of the Colony, the Expenditure on the Police Force is still much too great. In what way, however, retrenchment can best be carried out must be left to the Executive, to whom the consideration of the subject is earnestly recommended.

Among the Votes for Public Works, we are of opinion, that the amount proposed to be expended on the Public Gardens and Plantations should be reduced to $2,000.

The Members of the Sub-Committee have confined their enquiries to the details of the Estimates, as laid before the Council at its last meeting, which, with the exceptions and alter- ations referred to, meets with their approval."

my intention to object to them in Council upon other grounds.

The following Protest, referred to above, was received on the 16th November:--

PROTEST.

Notice having been duly given I PHINEAS RYRIE a Member of the Legislative Council of Hongkong protest against a vote of said Council, sanctioning the Expenditure of a sum of $8,112.00 on the Fire Brigade for the following reasons:→→→

1.st.-That clause 5 of Fire Brigade Ordinance No. 4 of 1868 has been contravened in as much as that on the report of a Fire being made at the Central Station on the morn- ing of the 23rd September, 1874, the Brigade was neither mustered or turned out with their Engines and all necessary implements as provided by said clause.

2nd. That the aforesaid clause provides also for the framing of regulations and that no

such regulations have been made.

3rd. That the President of the Council did not reply to a question put who was the

Officer in Command of the Fire Brigade.

4th. That the present management of the Brigade is faulty: a proper Fire Commission such as exists in Shanghai and other places should be appointed: it being most undesirable that one person only should have the control of the expenditure, as from mistaken economy on his part much damage may result, and I am informed that a valuable Engine the property of the public has been rendered almost useless in consequence of there not being a properly qualified and careful Engineer to attend to it constantly.

5th. That the Drill of the Brigade is not such as to make it an efficient one in event of a fire: much more being needed to that end than merely turning out the force once a month and feebly pumping water out of and into the harbour for the space of a quarter of an hour, such instruction can never fit men to cope successfully with the difficulties to be encountered at a serious fire.

[No. 11.]

FIRE BRIGADE DEPARTMENT,

HONGKONG, 19th November, 1874.

SIR,-I have the honor to forward to you the Report of the Fire Brigade for the Months of September and October last.

An inspection of the Government Engines and Stores was made on the, 17th September, they were found clean and in order.

　-A Fire occurred at the corner house of Mercer Street and the Praya, on the night of the 22nd September.

A Fire broke out on board the British Steam-ship China, at anchor in Victoria Harbor, on the night of the 7th October.

Also a Fire occurred at Queen's Road, near the Cross Roads, on the night of the 13th October. A Report relative to each Fire was duly forwarded to you.

In consequence of these Fires and the Typhoon, no parade or inspection took place until the 20th October, when the Government Steam and Hand Engines, also the Hand Engines of the Chinese Asso- ciations, were taken to the Praya Central, and worked from the Sea. It was found necessary to draw the fire of No. 1 Steam Engine, owing to several of the boiler tubes leaking. The Inspector of Machinery and an Engineer of the Royal Naval Yard were officially present on this occasion by autho- rity of the Commodore, who (when opportunity offers) has sanctioned the examination and repair of the Steam Engines to be carried out at the Royal Naval Yard.

　　A supply of Suction Hose, Boiler Tubes, and Fire Bricks, with several articles of Equipment, has been received from England during the past month.

I have the honor to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient Servant,

C. MAY,

Superintendent, Fire Brigade.

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.

A CHINESE AND ENGLISH

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.

DICTIONARY,

BY

THE REVD. W. LOBSCHEID.

HE 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.

J. GARDINER AUSTIN, Colonial Secretary.

An Ordinance enacted by the Governor of Hongkong, with the advice of the Legislative Council thereof, to render personation with intent to deprive any person of any property felony.

L. If any person shall falsely and deceitfully persontown Personation person, or the heir, executor, or administrator, wife, widow, in order to next of kin, or relation of any person, with intent fraudulently obtain pro- to obtain any land, estate, chattel, money, valuable security, felony. or property, he shall be guilty of felony, and upon conviction [37 & 38 shall be liable, at the discretion of the Court by which he is Vic., cap. convicted, to be kept in penal servitude for life, or for any 36, § 1.? period not less than three years, or to be imprisoned for any term not exceeding two years, with or without hard labor, and with or without solitary confinement.

II. Nothing in this Ordinance shall prevent any person from Saving. being proceeded against and punished under any other Or- [Ibid, § 2.] dinance, or at Common Law, in respect of an offence (if any) punishable as well under this Ordinance as under any other Ordinance, or at Common Law.

III. This Ordinance may be cited for all purposes as "The Short title. False Personation Ordinance, 1874."

Statement of Objects and Reasons.

This Ordinance is a transcript of a recent Act of the Imperial Parliament 37 and 38, Vic., cap. 36. It simplifies the mode of proceeding in cases of fraudulent personation, and increases the punishment on conviction.

The only difference between this Ordinance and the Imperial Act, is in the minimum of penal servitude-the Act fixes it at five years, and the maximum of imprisonment at two years with nothing between-the Ordinance proposes the same scale of punishment as for other felonies.
