The following Regulations respecting leave of absence of the Hongkong Police Force, made by - Mr. Administrator TONNOCHY on the 26th day of September, 1881, have been approved by the Right Honourable The EARL OF KIMBERLEY, Her Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for the Colonies.

By His Excellency's Command,

M. S. TONNOCHY, Acting Colonial Secretary.

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 14th January, 1882.

LEAVE REGULATIONS OF HONGKONG POLICE FORCE.

Regulations under Ordinance 9 of 1862 (relating to leave of absence and pensions to Members of the Police Force of Hongkong), made by the Governor on the 26th day of September, 1881.

EUROPEANS.

Leave at the expiration of Five Years' Service.

I. Any European Member of the Police Force may, after five years' service, on claiming his return passage, or gratuity of three months' pay, or pension, as the case may be, under § III of Ordinance 8 of 1869, apply through the Captain Superintendent of Police to His Excellency the Governor for permission to return to the service within a period not exceeding nine months.

II. Should this application be approved, the Applicant will receive half pay, during his absence, and a certificate entitling him to a return passage to the Colony within the period specified.

III. The Applicant shall enter into a bond for the refund of the half pay, or the difference between his pension and half pay as the case may be, drawn after his leaving the Colony, in case he does not return at the period specified.

IV. This period may nevertheless be extended by the Secretary of State for the Colonies, on such ground as may to him be satisfactory, and such extension shall be deemed to be leave originally granted within the meaning of the above Sections I, II, and III, anything therein contained to the contrary notwithstanding.

V. Such leave shall enable the Applicant to count his previous service as regards the time of service required before a pension is granted, but shall not be calculated as actual service towards obtaining a pension.

VI. On the Applicant's return to the Colony, he shall be reinstated in his relative position in the Force, and he will be sworn in for a further period of five years' service under § IX of Ordinances 9 of 1862, and 8 of 1869.

INDIANS.

I. Leave of absence will be granted to Indians, after each period of five years' service, subject to the following conditions:-

(a.) That the Applicant's previous character has been good.

(b.) That the leave does not exceed six months, except on special authority.

(c.) That the period on leave does not count towards the time of service necessary for pension, but will enable him to count his previous service towards the period of service required before a pension is granted.

(d.) That half pay is granted for the period on leave, and the return passage of the Applicant defrayed. These amounts will be paid on the Applicant's return to the Colony and re-enlistment.

(e.) The number of men on leave will be limited at the discretion of His Excellency the

Governor.

(f.) On the Applicant's return he will be sworn in under § IX of Ordinances 9 of 1862, and 8 of 1869, for a further period of five years' service, and reinstated in his relative position.

The Second Division will contain all that belongs or has reference to the Export trade in general. Industry applied to the transformation of original produce will find a prominent place, while at the same time, most profitable and ample occasions are created for fair competition in all branches of commerce and Industry.

Under this head are comprehended:

1° Productions of Mining, Quarrying and Metallurgy.

2° Agriculture, Horticulture and Forestry.

3o Chemical Industry.

4° Substances of food as products of industry.

5° Textile Industry and Clothing. Flax, Hemp, Jute and other fibres and fabrics of the same. 6° Leather and India-rubber Industry.

7° Metal Industry.

8° Wood Industry.

9° Stone, Earthenware and Glass Industry.

10° Small ware and Fancy goods..

11° Paper Industry and Stationary.

12° Graphic Arts and Industrial Drawing.

13° Machinery and Means of Transport.

15° Musical Instruments.

In short, every species of commodities comprehended in the general international trade.

To show the international exchange of produce in all branches, a representation of the commerce and trade of the world will be made. For this purpose samples and specimens of the articles of trade and commerce of all important harbours and seaports are to be exhibited.

All particulars of the different articles to be exhibited, such as the name of the Exhibitor, the description of the objects, the price (if destined to be sold) etc. may be shown on labels attached to each article.

III

The Third Division offers occasion to exhibit Works of Fine Arts since the remotest time, in order to constitute an instructive representation of the successive development of ideas in the different nations under the influence of civilisation.

17

This group containing objects illustrative of the Fine Arts of past and present times, has also as an aim to enable visitors to see an Exhibition of the selected treasures of private collections of works of Fine Arts, exhibited by Amateurs and Owners of collections, the so called "Exposition des Ameturs which Collections are, in ordinary time, usually accessible only to a limited few. This comparative study of the fine arts of different periods and of different nations will prove particularly interesting.

IV

The Fourth Division comprehends different special or temporary exhibitions, the so-called Corollary-Exhibitions. These will consist chiefly of products of national agriculture, horticulture and domestic industry.

V

The Fifth Division is the intellectual part of the exhibition. International congresses and scien- tific conferences for the discussing of subjects on public education, teaching and instruction, culture of Arts and Sciences, questions of domestic and international hygiene, political economy, the economy, development and progress of the colonies and the relations between them and their mother countries, international jurisprudence, etc., which will open a vast field for fruitful interchange of opinions between prominent statesmen and men of science in all branches. The social and material interest of mankind are as universal as human reason in their origin development and relations.

An International Jury will be appointed to award prizes.

The detailed arrangements of the Exhibition, the composition and operations of the Juries, the system of the Catalogues, report, etc. will be the object of special Rules.

In behalf of the Netherlands Government, the undersigned has the honour to invite all national and foreign Authorities, Municipalities, Corporations, Mercantile houses, Museums and private amateur- collectors of works of Art and Intustry in China, to participate and co-operate in the above described International Exhibition at Amsterdam.

All information required will be furnished by this Legation.

6. As at present arranged, a Cadet after his appointment will remain for one year in this country, and will be required to begin learning Chinese and to attend a class for students of Chinese at King's College or at University College; he will also be employed during some hours daily at the Colonial Office in the work of the Department. At the end of his year's study in this country the Cadet will be examined in Chinese, and the confirmation of his appointment will depend upon his passing a satisfactory examination, and on his performance of his duties in the Office.

7. Each Cadet will receive salary at the rate of £100 a year while studying in this country and a salary of $1,200 a year from the date of his arrival in the Colony. The cost of his passage to the Colony will be paid, subject to the liability of repayment hereafter mentioned (Secs, 11, 12). And half-salary will be allowed from the date of embarkation.

8. After arrival in Hongkong he will be required to continue his study of the language.

9. While thus studying, he will be under the control and supervision of the Governor of the Colony, who will frame regulations for his hours of study and general duties. Quarters, books, and teachers will be provided for him at the public expense, and he will be required to attend at the Public Offices for a certain time each day as may be directed by the Governor in order to give him an oppor- tunity of learning the details of public business without interfering with his reading. He may also, if thought advisable, be sent for a certain time to China in order to acquire more intimate knowledge of the language.

10. As soon as he is declared by a Board of Examiners to have acquired a competent knowledge of Chinese, he will be employed in such Department as may require his services, at salary of $1,800 per annum, without other allowances, and will be considered eligible for promotion in the Civil Service of Hongkong on the occurrence of any vacancy which he may be deemed suitable to fill.

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

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

The $ is at present reckoned by the Hongkong Government at 4s. 2d. for the purpose of the pay- ment in England of half-salary or pension.

11. The progress of the Cadet will be tested by half-yearly examinations, and he will be liable to be dismissed without further pay, if he does not pass a final examination in one or more of the lan- guages within such time as may be fixed, or if at any time his progress or conduct shall be considered by the Governor and Executive Council to be so unsatisfactory as to render such a course desirable.

2. Candidates must be between the ages of 21 and 24 on the first day of August in the year in which the Examination is held, and must satisfy the Civil Service Commissioners that they are duly qualified in respect of health and character.

3. No Candidate will be admitted to the competition who has not previously passed to the satisfaction of the Civil Service Commissioners a Preliminary Examination in Handwriting, Orthography, and Arithmetic (including Vulgar and Decimal Fractions).

4. The fees required from candidates are £1 for the preliminary and £5 for the competitive examination.

5. The heads of the competitive examination are as follows:-

7. The salary of a Cadet commences at Rupees 3,000 a year. A free

A free passage is granted, and half- salary allowed from the date of embarkation. A bond must be entered into by each Cadet, and two approved sureties with the Crown Agents for the Colonies, to secure that-in case of his dismissal, or in case he shall within four years from the date of his arrival in Ceylon, either quit the Colony with- out leave or relinquish his appointment-he shall, if required by the Governor, repay to the Colony the cost of his passage out.

The subjoined Minute contains the rules at present in force respecting the employment of Cadets. They are, of course, alterable from time to time by the Government.

During these eighteen months of study Cadets will be attached to one of Public Offices, which they will be required to attend for a certain time each day, as may be directed by the Governor, in order to give them an opportunity of learning the details of public business, without interfering with their reading. To ensure a better class of instruction than is now ordinarily obtainable by Cadets, the pundit allowance will be payable only to Masters holding Certifi- cates from the Board of Examiners of their competency to act in that capacity.

9. The Government of Ceylon calculates the Rupee at 1s. 101⁄2d. for the purpose of the payment in England of half salary cr pension.

* Candidates who take up History will be invited to name the periods which they have studied and in which they wish to be examined. In awarding marks, regard will be had to the extent and importance of the period chosen and to the thoroughness with which it has been studied.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 28TH JANUARY, 1882.

MINUTE BY THE GOVERNOR.

His Excellency the Governor having had under his consideration the subject of the Civil Service Examinations in Ceylon, and finding it to be necessary to establish a higher stan lard of proficiency in Singhalese and Tamil, and in other respects to amend the existing regulations, has directed that the Minutes of March 3rd, 1863, December 20th, 1865, January 30th, 1868, and March 1st, 1875, and the Notice of July 1st, 1868, be cancelled, save in so far as they cancel previous Minutes, and that the following Minute be published in their stead :—

1. Every Cadet will be required, before he can receive a substantive appointment, to pass an examination in the subjects herein-after specified. If he pass at or before the examination occurring not later than 18 months from the date of his being attached to one of the Public Offices, his rank in the Service and claim to pension will count from the date of his appointment as Cadet. Otherwise, his claim to count his service will be deferred until he passes; and should be fail to pass within three years from his being attached, his pay will be withdrawn, and the Secretary of State will be recom- mended to cancel his appointment.

2. Gentlemen in the Civil Service will be required, before they can be promoted to the Third Class, to pass a second examination of the character herein-after described. The promotion from the Third Class will be deferred, in the case of gentlemen who fail to pass their second examination, within six years from the date of their being attached to one of the Public Offices, to that of those who shall have passed within that period, and have entered the Third Class before them.

3. The subjects of examination will be the native languages (Singhalese and Tamil), Law, and the System of Accounts employed in the Government Offices.

4. At their first examination Candidates will be examined in Singhalese or Tamil (whichever they may prefer), in Law, and in Accounts; at their second, in Law, Accounts, and both languages ; and the examinations will be conducted after the following scheme :-

SINGHALESE.

In the first examination the Candidate is to write an English translation of two short Singhalese letters or reports from headmen, written in different running hands.

He is to translate a short English judgment or other official paper into Singhalese.

Dictate off-hand the translation into Singhalese of an English report or other official paper, to a native who shall take it down in writing.

Read and translate an extract from a Singhalese newspaper, and from the proceedings of a Gansabhawa case put into his hands for the first time.

Answer a few plain grammatical questions on declensions, conjugations, and compound words. Read, construe, and parse in English any easy sentences in Singhalese that may be set by the Examiner.

To be tested in conversation so as to satisfy the Examiner as to his power of understanding natives of different classes, and of making himself understood by them, both in common conversation and in the usual course of official business.

The second examination shall be similar in its nature to the first, but more difficult in degree. The Candidate will be required to act as an interpreter between the Examiner and natives perfectly ignorant of English; the interpretation to be on matters connected with some ordinary civil or criminal

case.

Candidates taking up Singhalese as their second language will only be tested by the lower standard.

TAMIL.

In the first examination the Candidate should have a knowledge of the leading principles of Tamil grammar, as regards the orthography and the etymology of the language.

He is to read, construe, and parse in English extracts selected from the "Thesavalamy," and the Kathásinthamani."

Read and translate any easy Tamil book, as also a Tamil newspaper or a Tamil manuscript—such as a letter on any common subject, a report from a headman, or a bond or title deed.

Write in plain ordinary Tamil a letter or order to a native headman; the subject of such letter or order to be given by the Examiner.

Translate vivâ voce a short judgment, official letter, or report from English into Tamil, and dictate the translation to a native, who shall take it down in writing.

Converse in Tamil with tolerable ease and fluency on the ordinary topics of the day, and on such subjects as arise in connection with the discharge of public duties.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 28TH JANUARY, 1882.

45

The second examination will be similar in its nature to the first, but more difficult in degree. A knowledge of the chief rules of syntax, as given in Pope's Catechism of Tamil Grammar, will be required. The Candidate will be required to act as interpreter between the Examiner and natives perfectly ignorant of English; the interpretation to be on matters connected with some ordinary civil or criminal case.

Candidates taking up Tamil as their second language will be tested by the first standard of examination only.

Great importance will be attached to Candidates being able to read and translate advertisements and articles in the native newspapers with ease.

LAW.

In their first examination Candidates will be examined in the Law of Evidence (Roscoe on Civil and Criminal Evidence), and in the following Ordinances :-Nos. 3 of 1846, 5 of 1852, 9 of 1852, 9 of 1859, 18 of 1861, 22 of 1866, 11 of 1868, and 18 of 1871.

In their second examination Candidates will be further examined in Marshall's Judgments, Thomson's Institutes, Taylor on Evidence, Vander Linden's Laws of Holland, Smith's Mercantile Law, and Story or Spence on Equity Jurisdiction.

5. The Examinations will be conducted on a system of Marks, and the time allotted to each subject will be fixed by the Examiners.

6. Any Cadet who is of Singhalese, Tamil, or Eurasian parentage will be required to take up for his first examination whichever of the native languages has not been spoken by, or familiar to him, as a child.

7. This Minute shall have effect from the date of publication, but Cadets appointed before January 1st, 1875, shall have the option of presenting themselves for their first examination under the Notice of July 1st, 1868.

簿八十二第

LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL.

HONGKONG, 7TH FEBRUARY, 1882.

THE GOVERNOR'S ADDRESS.

His Excellency Sir JOHN POPE HENNESSY, K.C.M.G., opened the Session with the following address:-

HONOURABLE GENTLEMEN OF THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL,

In opening the Legislative Session of 1882, I have to inform you that HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN has been graciously pleased to confirm and allow thirteen of the fourteen Ordinances which were passed

in 1881.

MACAO EXTRADITION ORDINANCE.

Of these Ordinances, No. 1 of 1881, the Macao Extradition Ordinance, is one which deals with a question that engaged the attention of my predecessors for forty years; it has now been settled by the negotiations of Lord KIMBERLEY and Lord GRANVILLE with the Government of Lisbon. And though undoubtedly the credit of that settlement belongs entirely to the Home Governments, nevertheless the advantage of it will be felt by the Governinents of Macao and Hongkong, for the Executives of both Colonies will now be enabled to deal with fugitive criminals in a way that they could not before.

PENAL LAWS REFORM.

Ordinance No. 3 of 1881, the Penal Laws Amendment Ordinance, now confirmed by the Queen, is not the least important reform in colonial penal laws that has been effected in our time. It repeals or amends ten Ordinances, some of them of exceptional severity, and all practically directed against one race only. The Ordinance gives permanent legislative authority to a policy which the Royal prerogative enabled me to enforce for some years past, in spite of some little local criticism; and henceforth it will be illegal in this Colony to brand any criminal, to have public flogging, to allow flogging in Honkgong, except for such offences as entail flogging in England, or to allow flogging on the back. The impolitic system now abolished by the Queen and the legislature of this Colony, though devised for the suppression of crime, had actually manufactured a criminal population and increased crime.

This abolition has been followed by the diminution of crime, and a universal feeling through- out the Colony, to which you can all bear witness, that life and property have become more secure in Hongkong.

DECREASE Of Crime.

I have no wish, gentlemen, to weary you with statistics, but I may perhaps quote the authentic figures which have recently been put before me with reference to the class of crimes which some years ago caused so much alarm throughout the Colony. I take the four years during which, as I have just mentioned, under the exercise of the Royal prerogative, I practically suspended those penal laws which Her Majesty has now abolished. In 1878 cases of murder numbered seven, and this number was reduced to four in 1879; in 1880 there was one case, and in 1881 two cases. Of cases of robbery

74

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 11TH FEBRUARY, 1882.

with violence from the person, the number was 35 in 1878, 39 in 1879, 25 in 1880, and 19 in 1881. Cases of burglary, or larceny from dwelling houses, amounted to 113 in 1878 to 101 in 1879, to 53 in 1880, and to 60 in 1881. There were two assaults with intent to rob in 1880, and none in 1881. Taking the total of these really grave crimes, which formerly caused so much apprehension and alarm, -in 1878 they amounted to 173, in 1879 to 145, in 1880 to 81, and in 1881 to 81.

DECREASE IN KIDNAPPING.

The only other class of crime to which I will refer is one which has engaged a good deal of the - attention of his honour the Chief Justice, and that is kidnapping. With reference to that crime, you are aware that Lord KIMBERLEY instructed me to approve in his name of a Chinese Society, which now deals practically with the suppression of that crime, acting in concert with the Captain Superintendent of Police. The consequence is that the smallest number of kidnapping cases that occurred in the four

I have referred to was in 1881, when we had only 50 such cases. years

This is owing to the operations of the Chinese Society, the skill and energy of the Police Force, and the action of the Supreme Court in passing heavy sentences on those who are convicted of that offence. I believe that by these means the principal kidnappers are at the present moment locked up in our gaol.

COMPANIES ORDINANCE.

Amongst the other Ordinances passed in 1881, is Ordinance No. 14, the Companies Ordinance, which introduced some reforms that were pressed upon my attention by my honourable friend, the senior un-official member of the Legislative Council. It is an Ordinance that facilitates the work of those commercial associations that are doing so much to utilise the surplus capital of the Colony.

REVENUE.

In connection with the Appropriation Ordinance for 1882, which Her Majesty has sanctioned, I am laying to-day upon the table some dispatches and some financial papers. The financial papers I am putting before you consist, as usual, of the comparative statements of revenue and expenditure of the past year in comparison with that of the preceding year-that is the statement of 1881, compared with that of 1880. I find that the revenue for the year 1881 amounted to over $1,100,000 being the largest revenue ever collected in this Colony. You are aware that for some years past I have impressed upon you the fact that in my opinion it was not proper to treat as actual revenue the proceeds of the sale of Crown lands. The proceeds of the sale of Crown lands I have always held to represent the capital of the Colony, and therefore in the figures I have given you I do not include that important item. But adding that item, we find that the sum actually collected amounts to $1,309,428. The receipts of the preceding year amounted to $1,056,329, and thus last year the amount collected was more than a quarter of a million in excess of that of the preceding year. Taking the item of stamp revenue, the total sum collected in 1881 amounted to $173,641, in the preceding year it had reached $127,623, showing an increase of $46,000. In looking through the stamp Returns, I find an increase under the great majority of items :-bank notes in circulation, bills of exchange, bank cheques, bills of lading, bottomry bonds, charter parties, transfer of shares, ordinary adhesive stamps, and a large item for conveyances and assignments. This, I need hardly tell you, is the largest revenue ever collected under our stamp Ordinance. When I called upon the Collector of stamps in 1880 to estimate the amount which would be collected in 1881, he estimated it at $115,000, so that the increase which occurred that year was largely in excess of his anticipations.

OPIUM REVENUE.

Now, there is one item in our revenue which, compared with the two previous years, showed in 1881 no change, viz., $205,000 from the opium farmer because it had been sold in 1879 for three years.

I had the satisfaction of selling the opium farm in 1879 at an increase of price from $132,000 to $205,000. But it was said that I had rather unduly forced up the price of the farm, and it was anticipated that when next I should have to dispose of the farm, it would be sold at a smaller figure than the current rate; and indeed one of my officials, a man of ability and knowledge of the Colony, in a communication he made in London to one of the gentlemen in the Colonial Office, expressed great apprehension with respect to the opium farm, and in a memorandum which was trans- mitted to me by the Secretary of State, he said that there would be a falling off in the opium revenue when the opium farm was sold this year. However, these anticipations have not been verified; I have sold the opium farm for 1882-83 for $210,000, so there has been no falling off in the current revenue, which is $205,000.

INCREASE IN JUNK TRADE AND IN FOREIGN SHIPPING.

Now, in looking through the items of revenue which I am putting upon the table, you will see that in this return it states that there is a considerable increase in what are called fees of office. The increase in 1881 amounted to $20,215. On analysing that increase, which I do from a return furnished me by my honourable friend, the Colonial Treasurer, Captain DEANE, I find the items of

75

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 11TH FEBRUARY, 1882.

that increase are of importance in considering the question of the prosperity of the Colony. I find, for instance, that the items for licenses and fees of junks, which amounted in 1880 to $18,807, increased in 1881 to $19,839. Now, between the years 1880 and 1881, there was also an increase in the foreign shipping, and the foreign steamers purchased by the Chinese. The junk trade has to compete with the coasting steamers, and when we find that the trade of the coasting steamers, and the general foreign shipping of the Colony increasing at the same time with an increase in the junk trade, we have a combination which shows the prosperous state of the commerce of this Colony. With regard to the foreign shipping, I have not yet before me the final returns, but as you are aware, the revenue from the light dues furnishes a certain criterion for the increase or diminution of the foreign shipping trade. I find that the increase on light dues of foreign shipping amounts to $2,660. Well, that seems in itself a small sum, but when you remember that the light dues only amount to one cent. per ton, upon the foreign shipping, the small apparent increase means an increase of 266,000 tons on foreign shipping in one year in the harbour. I believe that the tonnage of foreign shipping cleared and entered in Hongkong in 1881 exceeded 8,800,000. There are a few other items, which, though apparently small, undoubtedly indicate mercantile prosperity; those are the increase of our revenues from cargo boats and cargo boats' certificates, from the shipping of sailors, and from the examinations of masters and engineers, upon all of which items there is an increase in the past year. Under the head of miscellaneous receipts, I find a considerable increase in the revenue from the storage of gunpowder and kerosine. The total amount of revenue under the head of miscellaneous items in 1880, was $6,695, whereas in 1881, it was $18,294. The taxation of the Colony is at the present moment at precisely the same figure as it was when I first became Governor of Hongkong in 1877, and the increase of revenue that has gone on is therefore an increase of revenue dependent upon the progress and prosperity of the Colony.

EXPENDITURE

I have to ask your attention to the expenditure of the Colony. The expenditure in 1880 amounted to $885,204, whereas in 1881 the amount was somewhat larger, viz., $895,985. The difference, you will observe, between the revenue collected in 1881 and the expenditure of that year is about $400,000,-a respectable sum to have gained on the Treasury transactions of the past year, without new taxes, and whilst maintaining the Establishments and services in a state of efficiency.

WORKS AND BUILDINGS.

I find that the expenditure on works and buildings in 1881 amounted to $59,781, as compared with $50,568 in the preceding year, showing an increase of $9,000. Under the head of what are called miscellaneous services, there was an increase last year, of $11,000. Now, with respect to works and buildings, the items showing an increase consist of repairs to buildings, amounting to $14,098, as compared with $11,923 in the preceding year. One large cause of increase is the typhoon breakwater in Causeway Bay, the expenditure upon which is $30,095. The work is proceding, and will be so far completed before the next typhoon season, as to furnish at that time, if we should have a typhoon, a substantial protection to the junk population. There has been a slight increase in the item of street lamps, which amounts to $21,418. There is an increase in the telegraph service from $2,900 to $5,600. As you are aware, our telegraphic communications are now connected with all the Police Stations in the Colony. Two small submarine lines have been laid across the harbour, and you are also no doubt aware that we are substituting iron posts in the place of the ordinary wooden poles. Amongst the other miscellaneous items which account for this increase I find the item of compensation to Mr. COUGHTRIE of $1,500. That compensation, I think, was claimed in May, 1878, at all events a consider able time ago, by Mr. COUGHTRIE, for an injury which he stated was done to his dwelling house by the bursting of a drain, and he held the Survery Dapartment responsible for it. He applied for $1,500, and after a very long inquiry into the matter, I am happy to say that the EARL OF KIMBERLEY sanctioned the claim, and that the sum of $1,500 has been paid to him. As to the ordinary services of the Colony, such as the provision on an efficient Police Force, providing a proper staff for the Harbour Department, and doing what is required for the other establishments in the Colony, I have no hesitation in saying that the Government has not been in any way backward; I think my honourable friend on my left, the head of the Police Force, will bear me out in saying that any expenditure required for that force has never been refused by the Executive, and the same, I think, will be said by the gentlemen at the head of the Harbour Department. As to our roads, streets, and bridges, I am on the whole perfectly satisfied with the state they are in. I have over and over again intimated to Mr. PRICE and to Mr. BOWDLER that any assistance required for that department, I am prepared to sanction; and I believe the condi- tion of our streets and roads, so far from being unsatisfactory, is highly creditable to the Survey Depart- ment. In 1881 I laid out $12,000 on tree planting, and a considerable increase on the annual sum ($700) spent on that work a few years ago. The good results we all observe from the tree-planting, justify this increased expenditure. On the whole, gentlemen, I think you have no reason to be dissatisfied with the expenditure you have voted, and with the mode in which it has been laid out. There are certain works, which I was anxious to see carried out several years ago, with which at that time I remember the Sur- veyor General expressed his inability to deal until the repairs to the Praya Wall had been completed.

76

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 11TH FEBRUARY, 1882.

There is a provision for a new gaol on Stone Cutters' Island. That is a matter which has been pressed very much upon my attention by the Government, and the EARL OF KIMBERLEY has expressed an opinion that that is the only suitable site for the gaol. You are aware also that the work of establishing an Observatory at Kowloon is a matter of importance, and you also probably know that the plans and estimates for a new Water Police Station at Kowloon have been laid before Her Majesty's Government. As to the water supply scheme, before I proceded some months ago to Peking, I instructed Mr. Bowdler to carry out what is known as the Tytam scheme. He recommended the getting out of persons from England who were capable of conducting technical work necessary for the carrying out of the scheme. I telegraphed for them, and in the meantime a question has been raised by a very eminent gentleman now in the Colony, Mr. CHADWICK, as to going back upon the still more expensive scheme, in contrast to the later Tytam scheme, and he is about to report upon the mater to Her Majesty's Gov- ernment. As to the Water Police Station, that matter has been delayed by a reference, very properly made to the Surveyor General, who is now in London. The plans of the Observatory have been referred to eminent scientific authorities in London, and I am awaiting instructions before beginning the work. The question of the Gaol is also before the Secretary of State, and having been referred to the Surveyor General, the question has arisen as to the number of prisoners to be accommodated. When last I addressed you upon the subject, I thought we should provide accommodation for 750, and upon that subject the question has arisen as to how far it might not be desirable to have the gaol on Stone Cutters' Island made to accommodate say 600 or 700, and a lock up on this side of the harbour for 100 or 200. That question is under the consideration of Her Majesty's Government.

SANITATION.

Mr. CHADWICK, who I am happy to say is in the Colony, is about to report to Her Majesty's Government upon some questions connected with the sanitation of Hongkong, questions which have been brought to the notice of Her Majesty's Government, as appears in the instructions given to Mr. CHADWICK, by representations-constant representations, as Lord KIMBERLEY says-by the officer in command of the troops as to the condition of the Chinese houses, and the system of drainage, which he imagined was injuriously affecting the health of the troops under his command. The sanitary state of this Colony is always a question of great interest to us; and the fact of there being 900 or 1,000 European troops in the Colony, gives us an opportunity as it were, by means of the mortality returns, of testing its sanitary state. I do not by any means assert that the mortality and sickness among the troops shows the general mortality and sickness in the Colony, because it is generally greater among the troops, but comparing year by year the mortality among the troops, we arrive at some conclusion as to the improved condition or otherwise of the houses in the vicinity of the barracks.

DECREASED MORTALITY OF THE WHITE TROOPS.

The complaints to which Lord KIMBERLEY refers were made by the Officer Commanding the Troops in Hongkong in 1879, 1880, and 1881. I have before me a return of the mortality among the troops during those three years, and I find that the number of deaths amongst the white troops-that is amongst the men, women, and children of the European troops, amounted to 22 in 1879; in 1880 this had fallen to 20, and last year, 1881, it only amounted to 9, so that as far as these returns, which we have just received from the military authorities, indicate, there has been a steady decline in the mor- tality of the white troops in this Colony of late years.

DECREASE IN GENERAL MORTALITY.

Now, taking a return of the same years which has just reached me, of the whole population of the Colony, we find that in 1879, the death rate amounted to 32 per thousand, in 1880 it had fallen to 28 per thousand, and in 1881 it had fallen to 24 per thousand. The death rate of the European and Americans residents in Hongkong in 1881 was 18 per thousand. These figures are eminently satis- factory, as showing the general condition of the health of the Colony, and as showing what mistakes have been made by those who believe that owing to the increase of the Chinese population, or any other cause, the sanitary state of the Colony for the last three years has been getting worse, instead of steadily improving.

CONTAGIOUS DISEASES ORDINANCE.

In speaking of the health of the troops, there is one topic which I have not referred to before, but which I must touch upon now, because I am instructed by the Secretary of State to prepare an Ordinance to deal with what is called the Contagious Diseases Ordinance. You will no doubt remember that in December 1877, I took the responsibility of appointing a Commission to inquire into the operation of this Ordinance, and the Registrar General's proceedings in connection with it. You will also remember that one result of the appointment of that Cominission, and the inquiry that began in 1878 was that statements were industriously circulated throughout the Colony to the effect that certain measures which I adopted to put on end to abuses that I found in operation under that Ordinance, would cause an increase of contagious diseases amongst the troops. Those who had not an opportunity of knowing the facts circulated these rumours throughout the Colony,

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 11TH FEBRUARY, 1882. 77

and I believe even to this day it is generally understood in some quarters that though it was admitted that the abuses which I put an end to were revolting abuses; though it was admitted that it was im- possible any Government could sanction some of the abuses which were detected by the Commission, yet nevertheless putting a stop to them, and especially of the abuses caused by the employment of paid informers, the stopping of these matters it was said would undoubtedly cause an increase in the amount of disease amongst the troops. I need hardly say that the Ordinance was passed at the instance of the Office Commanding the Troops here many years ago. It had been devised for what was called the protection of the soldiers and sailors. Now, in looking to the result of the changes I felt it my duty to make, I recently asked for a return from the Military Authorities showing the number of soldiers suffering from contagious diseases during the four years past; that is during the time that the reforms which I felt it necessary to introduce had been in operation. Here are the figures which have been furnished to the Colonial Secretary by the Military Authorities on the 23rd of January last. In 1878 the number of soldiers suffering from those diseases amounted to 188, in 1879 to 182, in 1880 to 164, and in 1881 to 136. You therefore see that the abolition of abuses in the management of the Contagious Diseases Ordinance has had a similar effect to that which took place in the more important one of our penal legislation. I will not dwell upon that subject further than to say that in the instructions given by Lord KIMBERLEY to me, important changes are indicated in the existing Ordinance; when that Ordinance has been prepared it will be my duty to submit the draft in the first instance to the Secretary of State, and when it has been sanctioned by Her Majesty's Government, it will be laid before you. I believe I used the words "revolting abuses" in reference to those which I put a stop to. They are in fact the words used by the EARL OF KIMBERLEY himself in referring to some abuses I found existing in Hongkong.

SANITARY IMPROVEMENTS.

Though the Military and Civil returns indicate a steady improvement in the public health, and in the health of the troops, I am not satisfied with the sanitation of the Colony nevertheless. I think that the town of Victoria might be made a model of sanitation, with its position on the slope of a hill, the possibility of obtaining an almost unlimited supply of water for drinking and washing purposes, and having here a native population who will readily carry out the Chinese custom by which the sewage and refuse is carried out of the town, and used for agricultural purposes. Having a population accustomed to that sensible practice, I have very little doubt this Colony can be made a model of sanitation. I observed the other day that Professor HUXLEY said that some Oriental nations that we had been in the habit of calling barbarous, were actually more civilised than ourselves in the mode in which they treat sewage, and he referred especially to the Chinese, and their mode of dealing with it. It is a subject in which we may have something to learn from the Chinese. In England people are now reconsidering the question of the under-ground drainage system to carry off excrementitious matter by water supply, and some eminent sanitary authorities are in favour of what is called the Chinese process.

BATHS AND WASH-HOUSES.

There are, no doubt, in this Colony other things necessary for good sanitation. Eighteen months ago I called for information from the Survey Department as to the establishment of baths and wash-houses for the poor, and recently I have been again in communication with the leading Chinese inhabitants of the Colony on the subject, and the result is that a system of private baths which now exists to some extent for Chinese, for which twenty cash, that is, two cents, are paid for a single bath-that system can be extended, and I believe the poor will be able before long to avail them- selves of baths and wash-houses where the payment will be extremely moderate, that is, beginning at a scale of one or two cash. These baths and wash-houses, with a moderate supply of warm water, can be built without much cost. You will require a certain number of them, and when the plans are completed I will have much pleasure in submitting them to you and asking for the moderate vote that their cost will entail.

LAND SALES.

Now I have told you that the item from the sale of Crown lands, which reached in 1881 the sum of $205,680, I was not disposed to treat as one of actual revenue. With respect to that item there has also been some expression of opinion in the Colony. I have seen it stated, and I understand it has been pretty generally whispered, that the sale of Crown lands effected in 1881 was really a speculative sale, that the Crown sold lands for sums far higher than purchasers were entitled to pay, and that the land so sold would not be applied to practical purposes, but was in reality intended for speculative purposes, that is, for being sold from one person to another, no buildings being erected upon the lots. You are well aware that at one time in the history of this Colony such things occurred, and large purchases were made many years ago of Crown lands in certain portions of the Colony which to this day have been unused. They were bought for speculative purposes and they remain idle. A similar charge appears to have been made as regards the sale of the Crown lands in 1881. This is a matter of public interest, and I have therefore asked

78

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 11TH FEBRUARY, 1882.

the Surveyor General to favour me with a return of the various lots sold in 1881 by the Government, with a statement as to what has been done or is proposed to be done with the land so sold. Now, I find that the first lot sold was inland lot No. 509. It was sold for $3,500 to a Chinese gentleman, and upon that lot he is erecting a number of houses. The next lot sold in 1881 was lot No. 26 at Kowloon, a Marine lot. That has been sold to the Hongkong and Whampoa Dock Co., a company, as you know, one of the most flourishing of its kind in the East, which is doing an immensity of good in the Colony. That was purchased with a view to the erection of houses for the workmen employed at the dock, but the buildings are not yet commenced. The next I see was a lot sold to Messrs. BELILIOS and CHATER, for $12,525 and upon that lot godowns and houses are to be erected during the current year. Speaking in the presence of my honourable friend Mr. BELILIOS I may say that though the godowns are not yet finished some of them are actually let, such is the demand for business premises in the Colony. The next lot was a small one, sold for $1,768, purchased by a European gentleman for a lawn tennis ground which has been constructed. The next lot, for $2,025, was also sold to my enterprising friend. Mr. CHATER, and upon that lot there have been erected four godowns for the storage of kerosine oil, and they will contain about 120,000 cases. The buildings are nearly completed. There was a small inland lot sold to Mr. EDE, which is still unoccupied.

CHINESE SUGAR REFINERY.

Two very important lots were sold at Bowrington to LAI WAI YEUNG, one for $10,025 and the other for $6,025, and upon those lots that Chinese gentleman is constructing, as you all may see, a large sugar refinery. The site selected is one that, as you know, remained perfectly idle and grass-grown up to this year. It is between the premises of JARDINE, MATHESON & Co. and the city of Victoria. Upon that ground the sugar refinery is now being built. It is the first time that a sugar refinery, as such, has been constructed in the Colony of Hongkong, for the sugar refinery a little further to the east, which is called the East Point Sugar Refinery, consists of buildings which, as you are aware, were constructed originally with a view of doing something to remedy the inconvenience felt with regard to the currency of the Colony by establishing here a Mint. Sir HERCULES ROBINSON constructed those fine buildings for a Mint. They were subsequently sold- I think it was unfortunate for less than a third of what they cost, but I am bound to say they are now usefully employed by an energetic company, the China Sugar Refining Company. With regard to the sugar refinery being built by the Chinese a little nearer the town, the machinery for that building is being obtained from Scotland; it is of the best kind, with all the latest improvements, and the machinery and buildings will cost about $350,000. I find that a small lot, inland lot No. 622, was sold for $510 to a European gentleman for the storage of timber. Next there is a lot sold for $2,525 to another European gentleman for kerosine godowns. These godowns have been nearly completed. The next lot, a small one, sold for $205, is still unoccupied.

SEA-WALL AND GODOWNS AT KOWLOON.

I come now to a very important sale that was effected at Kowloon of marine lots No. 20 and 21, sold, one for $29,025 and the other for $24,025. They have been purchased by Mr. CHATER. The ground is now being reclaimed from the sea. I had an opportunity some time ago of examining the plans and estimates, and with respect to that important work I have been furnished by Mr. Danby with a memorandum in which he states-

"The ground on the beach at Kowloon between Tsimtsa-tsui and the Royal Naval Coal Sheds was sold lately by Government to some influential capitalists in the Colony, who propose utilising it for commercial purposes by erecting large Godowns and Coal Sheds thereon. The ground will be reclaimed by them, a strong sea wall being erected in front and for the whole length of the ground, wharves will also be constructed at intervals along the front of the sea wall so that vessels of large tonnage can lay alongside and either discharge or take in cargo, at any state of the tide and in all weathers, this position being sheltered from typhoons and strong gales by the Kowloon hills. Men-of-war and steam-ship anchor imme- diately in front of this place during the typhoon season. The storage capacity of the whole of the godowns will be about 375,000 tons, and the capital that will have been laid out on the project when completed will exceed one million dollars.” I find the next lots are lots bought by European gentlemen as sites for bungalows on the hills.

LARGE NEW DOCK.

Next we come to a lot, at Belcher's Bay, which was sold for $36,100. On that lot there will be constructed a dock of large dimensions, for some of the Chinese gentlemen who purchased that valuable piece of Crown land have expressed to me their regret that Her Majesty's ship Inconstant should be seen leaving this harbour to proceed to Nagasaki to be docked, and they undertake that when they have an opportunity of making their new dock, Hongkong will then have a dock capable of taking in the largest vessel in Her Majesty's service. I find certain works which were undertaken in Duddell-street, and for a small portion of which some Crown land was sold. My honourable friend on my left (Mr. BELILIOS) has those works in hand also. Upon that site there is now being built, as you see, substantial and magnificent godowns, and I think some of these, as many as nine of them, though not yet finished, are actually let.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 11TH FEBRUARY, 1882. 79

NEW SUGAR REFINERY.

Finally, I come to a lot with respect to which there has been a good deal of talk, inland lot No. 837, which was sold for $24,500 to Messrs. BUTTERFIELD & SWIRE. That is a lot about halfway between this and Shau-ki-wán, at a place called Quarry Bay, and the only reason why any one can speak of the Government having got larger prices than it really ought to expect for land is that perhaps with reference to the sale of that lot an incident occurred which might give rise to the idea there was some speculation. I think it was $5,000 or $6,000 that in consultation with Mr. BOWDLER we arranged as the sum at which the upset price for that lot should be fixed. I may mention that, as usual in such cases, I received representations from Mr. BOWDLER that the upset price was somewhat too high. From time to time in 1881, with respect to the lots at Bowrington especially, I myself ventured considerable to increase the upset price the Survey Department recommended. Representations were made to me on the subject, but I did not feel justified in reducing the price. But with respect to this particular lot I understand, in fact it is a matter of notoriety, commented on in the public Press, that though the upset price was something like $6,000 a gentleman attended at the sale and ran the price up to $24,500. Well, there can be no doubt whatever from all I understand, if that gentleman had obtained the lot for $24,500, it would not have been for the purpose of erecting upon it a sugar refinery. Messrs. BUTTERFIELD & SWIRE intend to put upon it a sugar refinery, which I am disposed to think will be one of the best sugar refineries in the Her Majesty's Colonial empire. When I was Governor-in-Chief in the Windward Islands I had an opportunity of seeing a remarkable sugar refinery built at St. Lucia, which at that time was supposed to be the best in Her Majesty's Colonies. Having seen the plans and estimates of the new sugar rifinery, with an account of the machinery now on its way out, obtained from Blake, Barclay & Co., of Greenock, I have no hesitation in saying we are about to have a sugar refinery in Hongkong that can compete with the large refinery at St. Lucia. This new manufactory will consist of a building having nine floors; it will be constructed to a great extent of iron, on the modern system and with the latest machinery. The total sum which will be expended on the undertaking when completed will not be far short, I believe, of £200,000.

CROWN LAND SALES OF 1881 NOT SPECULATIVE.

Now that is, gentlemen, a detailed account of what was done with the Crown lands sold by me in 1881. There is nothing in that narrative showing what is called land speculation; on the contrary, it shows that the commercial wants of the Colony have been increasing, that the necessity of providing more godowns has been felt by the merchants, and that our manufactures are increasing, and you will notice, and I am happy to notice, that not only has there been an increase of enterprise and prosperity on the part of the foreign community, but also on the part of the Chinese.

PUBLIC WORKS BY PRIVATE ENTERPRIZE.

Some weeks ago I observed that the Secretary of State for India, Lord HARTINGTON, looked forward to the time when certain public works in India would be undertaken by private enterprise. When you consider what is done by the Survey Department in this Colony, you cannot but notice how small the amount really is which we lay out in public works as compared with what may be done by private enterprise and capital when the Colony is prosperous. Sir HERCULES ROBINSON entertained the scheme of forming a Praya Wall at Kowloon and wharves running from it out into deep water so that steamers and ships could go alongside. The expense would have been considerable. The scheme was contemplated by the Government, but it was felt the time had not come for the Government to undertake it. Now it is being undertaken, not by the Government, but by the energy and capital of the colonists, and I am sure you will agree with me that nothing can be more healthy, as a sign of our prosperity, than that works of this kind shoul be undertaken, not by the Survey Department but by private enterprise.

EUROPEANS AND CHINESE ALIKE PROSPEROUS.

But it is manifest that whatever may be said with respect to the prosperity of the Colony as shown by the revenue returns, by the general commercial activity of the Colony, by the fortunate position of the Colony with regard to the diminution of crime and the greater comfort and ease of every one as regards the protection of life and property-whatever indications of prosperity may thus be seen it is also satisfactory to note that, in the history of Hongkong, there never was a time when there was more successful enterprise among all classes alike, of the community, Europeans as well as Chinese.

HONGKONG STUDENT IN LONDON.

There is one class of enterprise, an intellectual enterprise, to which I have great pleasure in referring. Some of my learned friends who are present know that at the examinations at the Inns of Court in London, there are young men from Oxford and Cambridge, London University and King's College, and the chief competition is for the studentships or scholarships given at Lincoln's Inn. Last year a young Chinaman born under the British flag in this Colony succeeded at that examination

80 THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 11TH FEBRUARY, 1882.

in defeating his competitors from the English, Scotch and Irish Universities, and in three of the subjects of examination he obtained the first place. This was Mr. Ho KAI, one of the numerous Anglo-Chinese subjects that Her Majesty now has in this Colony. I think it is a matter we may all congratulate ourselves upon. That young gentleman, who has been called to the English bar will return, I think, this month to the Colony, and I am sure you will all join with me in welcoming him back.

CHINESE BENEVOLENT INVESTMENTS.

My attention has been called by the Chinese inhabitants to a plan by which wealthy Chinese in this Colony might have an opportunity afforded them of putting aside a certain portion of the money they make, investing it in such a way as to benefit their descendants and also to benefit the general community. I may briefly say it is a system of forming a species of trust property which may be administered by a certain number of the Chinese residents, perhaps those who under one of our Ordinances conduct so admirably the affairs of the Tung-wá Hospital, and to that body of gentlemen will be given from time to time considerable sums by wealthy Chinese which will be invested by them, a certain portion, say seven-tenths, to be appropriated so as to benefit the descendants of the donors by giving them education, and in other ways, the remaining three-tenths to be devoted to the public interests of the Colony in general. A scheme of that kind, carefully elaborated, has been recommended to me by what I am justified in describing as the Chinese community of the Colony. I am disposed to give it the most favourable consideration, and I mention it now with satisfaction because it is a further indication of the real progress of Hongkong. As long as these gentlemen, who, as you know, now represent not only the vast majority of rate-payers but the wealthiest rate-payers in the com- munity-out of the twenty largest rate-payers in 1881, seventeen were Chinese-as long as they desire to establish themselves and their descendants in the Colony for ever, so long we have a guarantee for loyalty and good order. On the whole, gentlemen, in opening the Legislative Session 1882 I think we can all look forward, without anxiety, to the continued prosperity of the Colony.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 11TH FEBRUARY, 1882.

CONTRACT OF SERVICE.

Extracts from despatch No. 126 of the 18th August, 1881, from Governor SIR JOHN POPE HENNESSY K.C.M.G., TO THE RIGHT HONOURABLE THE EARL OF KIMBERLEY.

"The Harbour Master's letter to Your Lordship ostensibly raises a question very proper for the "Emigration Officer to raise, namely, what is a contract of service under our Emigration laws and the "instructions of the Secretary of State. On that point he and I do not agree, for he thinks a contract "of service must be a written contract.

"For some years he was in the habit of passing as 'free emigrants under no contract of service "whatever' the Chinese who were taken to Honolulu after entering into verbal agreements in Hongkong "that they would work off their passage money by two years' service on the sugar plantations of "the Sandwich Islands.

"When this was brought to my notice by some Chinese gentlemen in 1878, I took the responsi- 'bility of declining to issue my licence for such Emigration as free Emigration; and with Sir MICHAEL "HICKS BEACH's approval, the system which had been tolerated for some years was stopped.

"In the year 1878, Sir WILLIAM ROBINSON, the Governor of Singapore, drew my attention to the "fact that the Emigration Officer at Hongkong passed as 'free Emigrants under no contract of service,' "certain Chinese girls some of whom had been purchased in Hongkong and some of whom had sold "themselves for considerable sums on a verbal contract to do service for two years, sometimes three years, as prostitutes in the licensed brothels of Singapore. The United States Consul in Hongkong represented to me also, more than once, that in endeavouring to check the traffic to California of "Chinese girls who had entered into verbal contracts of Brothel service, he felt compelled to rely on "the assistance of the Committee of the Tung Wa Hospital.

66

66

"To some of these representations Captain THOMSETT answered in words similar to what he uses "in the first report of his own (dated 20th July 1880) he now submits to Your Lordship, viz. :— "Kidnapped cases can be stopped, but no others unless it can be proved that a written contract "has been entered into.

66

*

*

Although I entertain no doubt as to the accuracy of the opinions given by Mr. BRAMSTON and “Mr. O'MALLEY that there may be a verbal as well as a written contract of service, I have referred

'Captain THOMSETT's letter to the Attorney General for a report."

66

Extract from Despatch dated Downing Street, 15th November, 1881, from the RIGHT HONOURABLE THE EARL OF KIMBERLEY to Governor SIR JOHN POPE HENNESSY, K.C.M.G.

"I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your despatch No. 126 of the 18th of August "enclosing a letter from Captain THOMSETT relative to a difficulty which has arisen in respect to his "duties as Emigration Officer, and I have also to acknowledge the receipt of Mr. TONNOCHY'S despatch "No. 12 of the 10th of October forwarding the Attorney General's report upon this letter.

((

"The main point at issue appears to be what constitutes a contract of service, and I concur "generally with you in thinking that it is not necessary that every such contract should be in writing: indeed, that such has always been the view held by Government is proved by the fact that it has "been held necessary to examine each so called free emigrant before allowing him to proceed on "board; and care must be taken that these examinations are not allowed to become less searching "than they were intended to be, and to degenerate into a mere form.

(6

"The further question then arises whether and advance of passage money and an undertaking to it constitutes a contract of service, and it appears to me that in some cases it does, in others it

repay "does not.

"In my opinion an advance of money from one man to another for passage expenses which the "borrower is to repay out of his wages, does not amount to a contract of service, even though the "arrangement be reduced to writing: on the other hand a similar advance which is to be worked out "in service to the creditor or to any persons whom the creditor may name, constitutes a contract of "service even though the arrangement be not embodied in writing.

"I am unable to see that the opinions of the Attorney General referred to in these papers are at "variance with the propositions thus stated, and it may be laid down to be the duty of the Emigration "Officer to satisfy himself as far as possible on what terms in any case the loan has been obtained by "the so-called free Emigrant; whether on simple condition of repayment or on that of working out "the debt by service to a specified person or persons.'

18. Having signed the Contract, no Emigrant will be at liberty to leave the Vessel, unless with consent of his employer; but every Emigrant shall be allowed two clear days after signing his Contract and before departure of the Vessel, to see his friends alongside and dispose of his money as he may wish.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 11TH FEBRUARY, 1882.

CONTRACT OF SERVICE.

Extracts from despatch No. 126 of the 18th August, 1881, from Governor SIR JOHN POPE HENNESSY K.C.M.G., TO THE RIGHT HONOURABLE THE EARL OF KIMBERLEY.

"The Harbour Master's letter to Your Lordship ostensibly raises a question very proper for the "Emigration Officer to raise, namely, what is a contract of service under our Emigration laws and the "instructions of the Secretary of State. On that point he and I do not agree, for he thinks a contract "of service must be a written contract.

"For some years he was in the habit of passing as 'free emigrants under no contract of service "whatever' the Chinese who were taken to Honolulu after entering into verbal agreements in Hongkong "that they would work off their passage money by two years' service on the sugar plantations of "the Sandwich Islands.

"When this was brought to my notice by some Chinese gentlemen in 1878, I took the responsi- 'bility of declining to issue my licence for such Emigration as free Emigration; and with Sir MICHAEL "HICKS BEACH's approval, the system which had been tolerated for some years was stopped.

"In the year 1878, Sir WILLIAM ROBINSON, the Governor of Singapore, drew my attention to the "fact that the Emigration Officer at Hongkong passed as 'free Emigrants under no contract of service,' "certain Chinese girls some of whom had been purchased in Hongkong and some of whom had sold "themselves for considerable sums on a verbal contract to do service for two years, sometimes three years, as prostitutes in the licensed brothels of Singapore. The United States Consul in Hongkong represented to me also, more than once, that in endeavouring to check the traffic to California of "Chinese girls who had entered into verbal contracts of Brothel service, he felt compelled to rely on "the assistance of the Committee of the Tung Wa Hospital.

66

66

"To some of these representations Captain THOMSETT answered in words similar to what he uses "in the first report of his own (dated 20th July 1880) he now submits to Your Lordship, viz. :— "Kidnapped cases can be stopped, but no others unless it can be proved that a written contract "has been entered into.

66

*

*

Although I entertain no doubt as to the accuracy of the opinions given by Mr. BRAMSTON and “Mr. O'MALLEY that there may be a verbal as well as a written contract of service, I have referred

'Captain THOMSETT's letter to the Attorney General for a report."

66

Extract from Despatch dated Downing Street, 15th November, 1881, from the RIGHT HONOURABLE THE EARL OF KIMBERLEY to Governor SIR JOHN POPE HENNESSY, K.C.M.G.

"I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your despatch No. 126 of the 18th of August "enclosing a letter from Captain THOMSETT relative to a difficulty which has arisen in respect to his "duties as Emigration Officer, and I have also to acknowledge the receipt of Mr. TONNOCHY'S despatch "No. 12 of the 10th of October forwarding the Attorney General's report upon this letter.

"The main point at issue appears to be what constitutes a contract of service, and I concur "generally with you in thinking that it is not necessary that every such contract should be in writing: indeed, that such has always been the view held by Government is proved by the fact that it has "been held necessary to examine each so called free emigrant before allowing him to proceed on "board; and care must be taken that these examinations are not allowed to become less searching "than they were intended to be, and to degenerate into a mere form.

(6

"The further question then arises whether and advance of passage money and an undertaking to it constitutes a contract of service, and it appears to me that in some cases it does, in others it

repay "does not.

"In my opinion an advance of money from one man to another for passage expenses which the "borrower is to repay out of his wages, does not amount to a contract of service, even though the "arrangement be reduced to writing: on the other hand a similar advance which is to be worked out "in service to the creditor or to any persons whom the creditor may name, constitutes a contract of "service even though the arrangement be not embodied in writing.

"I am unable to see that the opinions of the Attorney General referred to in these papers are at "variance with the propositions thus stated, and it may be laid down to be the duty of the Emigration "Officer to satisfy himself as far as possible on what terms in any case the loan has been obtained by "the so-called free Emigrant; whether on simple condition of repayment or on that of working out "the debt by service to a specified person or persons.'

Whereupon the Harbour Master shall deliver to the Master a permit in English and Chinese in such form as the Governor may direct. This permit shall be signed by the Harbour Master but shall not constitute an authority for the possession of the Opium until it has been countersigned and sealed by the Opium Farmer for the time being or by a person duly authorized by him. The permit when so signed and sealed shall be sufficient authority for the Master to retain possession of the Opium during the time that the vessel remains within the waters of the Colony. Pending the obtain- ing of such permit the Master of every such vessel shall keep a

flag hoisted at the highest masthead. If the Opium has to be transhipped into another vessel before it leaves the waters of the Colony, the Master must so state in his declaration giving the name and description of the vessel into which the Opium is about to be transhipped and the time when the transhipment will take place. During the transhipment of the Opium the Masters of both vessels shall keep a

flag hoisted at the highest masthead. When the Opium men- tioned in the permit has been all transhipped the Master of the transhipping vessel shall deliver over the permit to the Master of the vessel into which such Opium has been tran- shipped, and shall endorse such permit stating the date and time of such transhipment.

Mr. JOHNSON as a point of order rises to call attention to a notice of a resolution he had wished to move to-day.

The Governor explains that he would have been unable to put the motion referred to, as it was irregular and out of order and it therefore could not appear on the Order Book, being a motion for papers sent by the Honourable Member to the Secretary of State for His Lordship's decision which was not yet signified; and His Excellency refers to the practice in the Imperial Parliament as well as the precedent in 1859 in this Colony when the Lieutenant-Governor declined at this Council table to allow a similar motion to be put.

Mr. JOHNSON gives notice of his intention to enter a protest against His Excellency's decision.

3. They shall not be liable to pay to the Company any compensation for loss of traffic occasioned thereby, or for the reasonable exercise of the powers so vested in them as aforesaid.

4.

Provided that such work shall always be com- pleted by such other Company, or persons or person, with all reasonable expedition.

5. Any such other Company, or persons or person, shall not execute such work so far as it immedi- ately affects the Tramways, except under the superintendence of the Company, unless the Com- pany do not give such superintendence at the time specified in the notice for the commencement of the work, or permanently discontinue the same during the progress of the work, and they or he shall execute such work at their or his own expense and to the reasonable satisfaction of the Company.

CVI. If the Company or any of their contractors shall, except as aforesaid, wilfully enter upon and take possession of any of the said lands mentioned in the said Schedule D., which shall be required to be purchased or permanently used for the purpose of this Ordinance, with- out such consent as aforesaid, or without having made such payment for the benefit of the parties interested in the lands, or such deposit by way of security as aforesaid, the Company shall forfeit to the party in possession of such lands the sum of fifty dollars, over and above the amount of any damage done to such lands by reason of such entry and taking possession as aforesaid, and if the Company or their contractors shall, after conviction in such penalty as aforesaid, continue in unlawful possession of any such lands, the Company shall be liable to forfeit the sum of one hundred dollars for every day they or their contractor shall so remain in possession as aforesaid, such penalty to be recoverable by the party in possession of such lands, with costs, by action or suit in the Court : Provided always, that nothing herein contained shall be held to subject the Company to the payment of any such penalties as aforesaid, if they shall bona fide and without collusion have paid the compensation agreed or awarded to be paid in respect of the said lands to any person whom the Company may have reasonably believed to be entitled thereto, or shall have deposited the same in the Bank for the benefit of the parties interested in the lands, or made such deposit by way of security in respect thereof as hereinbefore mentioned, although such person may not have been legally entitled thereto.

Lands in mortgage.

CX. It shall be lawful for the Company to pur- chase or redeem the interest of the mortgagee of

of any the said lands mentioned in the said Schedule D., which may. be required for the purposes of this Ordinance, and that whether they shall have previously purchased the equity of redemption of such lands or not, and whether the mortga gee thereof be entitled thereto in his own right, or in trust for any other party, and whether he be in possession of such lands by virtue of such mortgage or not, and whether such mortgage affect such lands solely, or jointly, with any other lands not required for the purposes of this Ordinance, and in order thereto the Company may pay or tender to such mortgagee the principal and interest due on such mort- gage, together with his costs and charges, if any, and also one month's additional interest, and thereupon such mort- gagee shall immediately assign his interest in the lands comprised in such mortgage to the Company, or as they shall direct, or the Company may give notice in writing to such mortgagee that they will pay off the principal and in- terest due on such mortgage at the end of one month, com- puted from the day of giving such notice; and if they shall have given any such notice, or if the party entitled to the equity of redemption of any such lands shall have given notice of his intention to redeem the same, then at the ex- piration of either of such notices, or at any intermediate period, upon payment or tender by the Company to the mortgagee of the principal money due on such mortgage, and the interest which would become due at the end of one month from the time of giving either of such notices, to- gether with his costs and expenses, if any, such mortgagee shall assign or release his interest in the lands comprised in such mortgage to the Company, or as they shall direct.

CXI. If, in either of the cases aforesaid, upon such payment or tender, any mortgagee shall fail to assign or re- lease his interest in such mortgage as directed by the Com- pany, or if he fail to adduce a good title thereto to their satisfaction, then it shall be lawful for the Company to de- posit in the Bank, in the manner provided by this Ordinance in like cases, the principal and interest, together with the costs, if any, due on such mortgage, and also, if such pay- ment be made before the expiration of the notices aforesaid, such further interest as would at such expiration become due ; and it shall be lawful for them, if they think fit, to execute a deed poll, duly stamped, in the manner hereinbefore pro- vided in the case of the purchase of lands by them; and thereupon, as well as upon such assignment by the mort- gagee, if any, being made, all the estate and interest of such mortgagee, and of all persons in trust for him, or for whom he may be a trustee, in such lands, shall vest in the Company, and they shall be entitled to immediate possession thereof in case such mortgagee were himself entitled to such possession.

CXII. If any such mortgaged lands shall be of less value than the principal, interest, and costs secured thereon, the value of such lands, or the compensation to be made by the Company in respect thereof, shall be settled by agree- ment between the mortgagee of such lands and the party entitled to the equity of redemption thereof on the one part, and the Company on the other part, and if the parties afore-

}

said fail to agree respecting the amount of such value or compensation, the same shall be determined as in other cases of disputed compensation; and the amount of such value or compensation, being so agreed upon or determined, shall be paid by the Company to the mortgagee in satisfaction of his mortgage debt so far as the same will extend, and upon payment or tender thereof the mortgagee shall assign or release all his interest in such mortgaged lands to the Com- pany, or as they shall direct.

CXIII.

CXIV. If a part only of any such mortgaged lands be required for the purposes of this Ordinance, and if the part so required be of less value than the principal money, in- terest, and costs secured on such lands, and the mortgagee shall not consider the remaining part of such lands a suffi- cient security for the money charged thereon, or be not willing to release the part so required, then the value of such part, and also the compensation (if any) to be paid in respect of the severance thereof or otherwise, shall be settled by agreement between the mortgagee and the party entitled to the equity of redemption of such land on the one part, and the Company on the other, and if the parties aforesaid fail to agree respecting the amount of such value or com- pensation, the same shall be determined as in other cases of disputed compensation; and the amount of such value or compensation, being so agreed upon or determined, shall be paid by the Company to such mortgagee in satisfaction of his mortgage debt so far as the same will extend; and thereupon such mortgagee shall assign or release to them, or as they shall direct, all his interest in such mortgaged lands the value whereof shall have been so paid; and a memorandum of what shall have been so paid shall be en- dorsed on the deed creating such mortgage, and shall be signed by the mortgagee; and a copy of such memorandum shall at the same time (if required) be furnished by the Company at their expense to the party entitled to the equity. of redemption of the lands comprised in such mortgage deed.

CXV. If, upon payment or tender to any such mortgagee of the amount of the value or compensation so agreed upon or determined, such mortgagee shall fail to assign or release to the Company, or as they shall direct, his interest in the lands in respect of which such compen- sation shall so have been paid or tendered, or if he shall fail to adduce a good title thereto to the satisfaction of the Company, it shall be lawful for the Company to pay the amount of such value or compensation into the Bank, in the manner provided by this Ordinance in the case of moneys required to be deposited in such Bank, and such payment or deposit shall be accepted by such mortgagee in satisfaction of his mortgage debt, so far as the same will extend, and shall be a full discharge of the portion of the mortgaged lands so required from all money due thereon; and it shall be lawful for the Company, if they think fit, to execute a deed poll, duly stamped, in the manner hereinbefore provided in the case of the purchase of lands by them; and there- upon such lands shall become absolutely vested in the Company, as to all such estate and interest as were then

vested in the mortgagee, or any person in trust for him, and in case such mortgagee were himself entitled to such possession they shall be entitled to immediate possession thereof; nevertheless, every such mortgagee shall have the same powers and remedies for recovering or compelling payment of the mortgage money or the residue thereof (as the case may be), and the interest thereof, respectively, upou and out of the residue of such mortgaged lands, or the portion thereof not required for the purposes of this Ordinance, as he would otherwise have had, or been entitled to, for recovering or compelling payment thereof upon or out of the whole of the lands originally comprised in such mortgage.

CXVI. Provided always, that, in any of the cases hereinbefore provided with respect to lands subject to mortgage, if in the mortgage deed a time shall have been limited for payment of the principal money thereby secured, and under the provisions hereinbefore contained, the mortgagee shall have been required to accept payment of his mortgage money, or of part thereof, at a time earlier than the time so limited, the Company shall pay to such mortgagee, in addition to the sum which shall have been so paid off, all such costs and expenses as shall be incurred by such mortgagee in respect of, or which shall be incidental to, the re-investment of the sum so paid off, such costs in case of difference to be taxed, and payment thereof enforced, in the manner herein provided with respect to the costs of assignments; and if the rate of interest secured by such mortgage be higher than at the time of the same being so paid off can reasonably be expected to be obtained on re-investing the same, regard being had to the then current rate of interest allowed by the Court, such mortgagee shall be entitled to receive from the Company, in addition to the principal and interest hereinbefore provided for, compensa- tion in respect of the loss to be sustained by him by reason of his mortgage money being so prematurely paid off, the amount of such compensation to be ascertained, in case of difference, as in other cases of disputed compensation; and until payment or tender of such compensation as aforesaid the Company shall not be entitled, as against such mort- gagee, to possession of the mortgaged lands under the provisions hereinbefore contained.

Rent-Charges.

CXVII. If any difference shall arise between the Com- pany and the party entitled to any such charge upon any of the said lauds mentioned in the said Schedule D., and required to be taken for the purposes of this Ordinance, respecting the consideration to be paid for the release of such lands therefrom, or from the portion thereof affecting the lands required for the purposes of this Ordinance, the same shall be determined as in other cases of disputed compensation.

CXVIII. If part only of the lands charged with any such rent-charge, chief or other rent, payment or incum- brance, be required to be taken for the purposes of this Ordinance, the apportionment of any such charge may be settled by agreement between the party entitled to such charge and the owner of the lands on the one part, and the Company on the other part, and if such apportionment be not so settled by agreement, the same shall be settled by a Judge in Summary Jurisdiction; but if the remaining part of the lands so jointly subject be a sufficient security for such charge, then, with consent of the owner of the lands so jointly subject, it shall be lawful for the party entitled to such charge to release therefrom the lands required, on condition or in consideration of such other lands remaining exclusively subject to the whole thereof.

CXIX. Upon payment or tender of the compensa- tion so agreed upon or determined to the party entitled to any such charge as aforesaid, such party shall execute to the Company a release of such charge; and if he fail so to do, or if he fail to adduce good title to such charge to the satisfaction of the Company, it shall be lawful for them to deposit the amount of such compensation in the Bank in the manner hereinbefore provided in like cases, and also, if they think fit, to execute a deed poll, duly stamped in the manner hereinbefore provided in the case of the purchase of lands by them, and thereupon the rent-charge, chief or other rent, payment, or incumbrance, or the portion thereof in respect whereof such compensation shall so have been paid, shall cease and be extinguished.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 18TH FEBRUARY, 1882.

from any

Charge to continue on lands not taken.

CXX. If any such lands be so released such charge or incumbrance, or portion thereof to which they were subject jointly with other lands, such last-men- tioned lands shall alone be charged with the whole of such charge, or with the remainder thereof, as the case may be, and the party entitled to the charge shall have all the same rights and remedies over such last-mentioned lands for the whole or the remainder of the charge, as the case may be, as he had previously over the whole of the lands subject to such charge; and if upon any such charge or portion of charge being so released the deed or instrument creating or transferring such charge be tendered to the Company for the purpose, they shall affix their common seal to a memoran- dum of such release endorsed on such deed or instrument, declaring what part of the lands originally subject to such charge shall have been purchased by virtue of this Ordi- nance, and if the lands be released from part of such charge, what proportion of such charge shall have been released, and how much thereof continues payable, or if the lands so required shall have been released from the whole of such charge, then that the remaining lands are thenceforward to remain exclusively charged therewith; and such memo- randum shall be made and executed at the expense of the Company and shall be evidence in all Courts and elsewhere of the facts therein stated, but not so as to exclude any other evidence of the same facts.

CXXI. Where part only of any lands comprised in a lease for a term of years shall be required for the purposes of this Ordinance, the rent payable in respect of the lands comprised in such lease shall be apportioned between the lands so required and the residue of such lands; and such apportionment may be settled by agreement between the lessor (including Her Majesty in those cases where Her Majesty shall be the lessor) and the lessee of such lands on the one part, and the Company on the other part, and if such apportionment be not so settled by agree- ment between the parties such apportionment shall be settled by a Judge in Summary Jurisdiction; and after such apportionment the lessee of such lands shall, as to all future accruing rent, be liable only to so much of the rent as shall be so apportioned in respect of the lands not required for the purposes of this Ordinance; and as to the lands not so required, and as against the lessee, the lessor shall have all the same rights and remedies for the recovery of such portion of rent as previously to such apportionment he had for the recovery of the whole rent reserved by such lease; and all the covenants, conditions, and agreements of such lease, except as to the amount of rent to be paid, shall remain in force with regard to that part of the land which shall not be required for the purposes of this Ordinance, in the same manner as they would have done in case such part only ofthe land had been included in the lease.

Compensation to Tenants.

CXXII. Every such lessee as last aforesaid shall be entitled to receive from the Company compensation for the damage done to him in his tenancy by reason of the severance of the lands required from those not required or otherwise by reason of the execution of the works.

CXXIII. If any such lands shall be in the possession of any person having no greater interest therein thau as tenant, and if such person be required to give up possession of any lands so occupied by him before the expiration of his term or interest therein, he shall be entitled to compen- sation for the value of his unexpired term or interest in such lands, and for any just allowance which ought to be made to him by an incoming tenant, and for any loss or injury he may sustain, or, if a part only of such lands be required, compensation for the damage done to him in his tenancy by severing the lands held by him or otherwise injuriously affecting the same; and the amount of such compensation shall be determined by a Judge in Summary Jurisdiction in case the parties differ about the same; and upon payment or tender of the amount of such compensation all such persons shall respectively deliver up to the Com- pany or to the person appointed by them to take possession thereof, any such lands in their possession required for the purposes of this Ordinance.

M. S. TONNOCHY, Acting Colonial Secretary.

GOVERNOR SIR JOHN POPE HENNESSY, K.C.M.G., TO THE RIGHT HONOURABLE

No. 117.

MY LORD,

*

THE EARL OF KIMBERLEY.

*

GOVERNMENT HOUSE, HONGKONG, 28th July, 1881.

*

Dr. LEGGE, who is now the Professor of Chinese at Oxford, in a paper he published some years ago touching on the non-success of the Cadet system in Hongkong to produce Officers who had any real knowledge of the Chinese language, pointed out that for the proper working of the Cadet system it was not merely necessary that the Cadets should have the somewhat rare power of being able to master the Chinese language, but that they should also have some sympathy with the Chinese race. I entirely concur with Dr. LEGGE, and believe that his observation applies with equal force to an appointment such as the Head Mastership in the Central School. No doubt Your Lordship would find very little difficulty in selecting for the vacant post some young University man with the necessary aptitude for learning a difficult language, but this equally important qualification is not so easy to test and on that point, I venture to recommend Your Lordship to refer to Dr. LEGGE, whose experience at Oxford and thorough knowledge of the Chinese character and people would doubtless enable him to submit the names of a few suitable candidates for Your Lordship's consideration.

I enclose the usual particulars of the vacancy.

;

The Right Honourable

THE EARL OF KIMBERLEY,

I have, &c.,

THE RIGHT HONOURABLE THE EARL OF KIMBERLEY TO GOVERNOR SIR JOHN POPE HENNESSY, K.C.M.G.

DOWNING STREET,

15th November, 1881.

SIR,-I have the honour to inform you that your despatch No. 117 of the 28th of July last was referred to Professor LEGGE, with a view to his selecting a gentleman qualified for the position of Head Master of the Government Central School, and that I have now appointed Mr. G. H. B. WRIGHT to that post, on the Professor's recommendation.

Mr. WRIGHT is an M.A. of Queen's College, Oxford, and has shown great interest and facility in the study of languages, being a Hebrew and Syriac Prizeman of his University, but is at present unacquainted with the Chinese language.

The Crown Agents have been desired to provide free passages for Mr. WRIGHT and his wife, on his signing the usual agreement, by the mail which leaves Brindisi on the 19th December next.

I have, &c.,

(Signed)

KIMBERLEY.

Sc.,

HEREAS it is expedient to regulate the immigration of Chinese into the Province

of South Australia, and to obtain security for the payment of any expenses that may be incurred in respect of such immigrants, and of any fines or penalties imposed upon them--Be it therefore Enacted by the Governor of the Province of South Australia, by and with the advice and consent of the Legislative Council and House of Assembly of the said province, in Parliament assembled, as follows:

1. For the purposes of this Act the following words in inverted commas shall, unless the con- text otherwise indicate, bear the meanings set against them respectively--

"Chinese "-Any person of the Chinese race

not being a British subject:

65

*

·Vessel "– Any ship or other sea-going vessel

of whatsoever kind or description:

·Master" The person other than a pilot for

the time being in actual command of any

such vessel.

2. None of the provisions of this Act shall apply to that portion of the said province known as the Northern Territory: Provided always that any ship carrying Chinese, and all Chinese in such ship, arriving from the Northern Territory, or any port in the said province, and situate in such Territory, shall be deemed to have arrived from beyond the province, and be liable to the provisions of this Act accordingly: Provided also that section 5 of this Act shall apply to every Chinese arriving otherwise than by a vessel from any part of this province within one thousand miles north of Adelaide.

3. The master of every vessel having Chinese on board shall, immediately on his arrival from beyond the said province in any port of the said province, and before making any entry at the Customs, deliver to the Collector or other prin- cipal officer of Customs a list of such Chinese, specifying the name, the place of birth, the apparent age, the ordinary place of residence, the place and date of shipment, and the calling or occupation of each such Chinese, so far as such information can be obtained by such master. And for each default herein such master shall be liable to a penalty not exceeding Two Hundred Pounds.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 25TH FEBRUARY,1882.

4. If any vessel shall arrive in any port in the

said province having on board a greater number

of Chinese passengers for any port in the said province than in the proportion of one to every ten tons of the tonnage of such vessel, according to the registry thereof if British, and if not, then according to the measurement defined by "The Merchant Shipping Act, 1854," the owner,

charterer, or master of such vessel shall be liable,

on conviction, to a penalty not exceeding Ten Pounds for each Chinese passenger so carried in

excess.

5. Before any Chinese arriving from beyond the said province shall be permitted to land from any vessel, and before making any entry at the Customs, the master of the vessel shall pay to such Collector or other principal officer the sum of Ten Pounds for every such Chinese, to be applied in manner hereinafter provided; and no entry shall be deemed to have been legally made or to have any legal effect until such payment shall have been made.

And if any master shall neglect to pay any such sum, or shall land or permit to land any Chinese at any place in the said province before such sum shall have been paid for or by him, or

before such list shall have been delivered, such master shall be liable, for every such offence, to a penalty not exceeding Twenty Pounds for each Chinese so landed or permitted to land in addi- tion to the amount of such sum.

6. Every Chinese arriving in the said province

after the passing of this Act, otherwise than by any vessel, shall pay or have paid for him to some officer whom the Governor may appoint, at any places on or near the borders of the said province or otherwise conveniently situate for that purpose, a like sum of Ten Pounds.

7. Before any Chinese shall be allowed to land from any vessel, every such Chinese shall be vaccinated by a medical man duly appointed for the purpose, unless such medical man certifies, in writing, that such Chinese has been already

vaccinated.

8. The Collector or other officer receiving such sum from or for any Chinese shall, without demand, forthwith give him a certificate in writing under his hand of the payment of such sum, and such certificate, whensoever and where- soever produced by such Chinese, shall be conclusive evidence on behalf of himself and of

any other person who may have paid such sum for him that such sum has been duly paid.

9. All sums paid by or on behalf of any

Chinese, and all penalties under this Act, shall

be paid over to the Treasurer, for the public use of the province.

10. If any Chinese shall enter or attempt to enter the said province without paying, or having paid for him, the sum of Ten Pounds aforesaid, he shall, besides such sum, be liable to a penalty not exceeding Ten Pounds, and may be appre- hended and taken before any Justice of the Peace to be dealt with according to law.

11. At the hearing of any prosecution under

this Act, the Justices may decide upon their

own view and Judgment whether any person

charged or produced before them is a Chinese

within the meaning of this Act.

12. It shall be lawful for the Treasurer, or

any person authorised by him, upon the appli-

cation of any Chinese, and upon being satisfied

certificate. And during the time so specified the holder of such certificate shall be exempt from all payments under this Act.

13. The sum of Ten Pounds aforesaid shall not be payable by or in respect of any Chinese who is one of the crew of any vessel, unless he shall land from such vessel without having previously obtained the consent of such Collector or other principal officer of Customs.

14. All penalties and forfeitures imposed by this Act shall be sued for, prosecuted, and recovered before a Justice of the Peace in a summary way, in the name of some officer of

Customs, or other person thereunto authorised.

hereby assent to this Bill.

The Council meets this day by Special Summons.

The Minutes of the last Meeting of Council held on the 9th instant are read.

Mr. JOHNSON enquires whether the Protest he caused to be delivered to the Clerk of Councils has been placed on the Minutes.

The Governor replies that it was received since the last meeting and cannot therefore be entered on the minutes of the last meeting which was held on the 9th instant.

The Minutes of the Meeting of the 9th of February, 1882, are then confirmed.

By direction of the Governor the Clerk reads the following protest which had been delivered to him on the 13th of February, and His Excellency directs it to be entered on the minutes forthwith:-- To His Excellency Sir JOHN POPE HENNESSY, K.C.M.G., Governor of Hongkong; and to ARATHOON

SETH, Esquire, Clerk of Councils.

HONGKONG, 13th February, 1882.

I do hereby protest in writing against the decision of Your Excellency, intimated by you in the letter addressed to me by the Clerk of Councils, dated the 7th instant, and confirmed by you in the Legislative Council of that day, by which decision Your Excellency ruled that a motion of mine, of my intention to move which, at that Council, I had given due notice, and the terms of which I shall presently state in extenso, was irregular and out of order.

The motion to which I allude, was as follows:-"That His Excellency will be pleased to direct the Acting Colonial Secretary to lay upon the table copies of letters addressed by me to the Acting Colonial Secretary dated 2nd December, with enclosures, and 7th and 15th December, and of the Acting Colonial Secretary's replies dated respectively 5th and 13th December; also that His Excellency will be pleased to lay upon the table copies of a letter addressed by Mr. T. C. HAYLLAR to the Secretary of State for the Colonies, dated on or about 27th July, 1881, of a covering despatch from His Excellency the Governor about the same date, and of a letter from Mr. T. C. HAYLLAR to the Secretary of State, asking permission to withdraw his despatch of 27th July, 1881, and dated 8th September, comprising a series of documents which have been exhibited to members of Council by His Excellency's directions. -I have the honour to be, your most obedient servant,

F. BULKELEY JOHNSON.

HIS EXCELLENCY'S MINUTE ON THE ABOVE PROTEST.

There is a slight inaccuracy or misconception in the latter part of the Protest (about documents being exhibited by my direction), but nevertheless, let it be entered in full on the minutes.

Hongkong, 14th February, 1882.

J. POPE HENNESSY.

His Excellency then proceeds to move the first order of the day, the consideration of the Jury List for 1882, but whilst the Governor is addressing the Council, Mr. JOHNSON rises to call attention to a question of privilege.

His Excellency rules that the Honourable Member is out of order in endeavouring as a question of privilege, to enter into a discussion and quote a text book with reference to a ruling of the Chair on a former occasion some meetings ago.

The Governor in resuming his remarks on the first order of the day invites the opinion of the Council on the point whether the Jury List for 1882 should be considered with closed doors.

It is agreed that it should be considered with closed doors.

The gentlemen of the Press, being the only strangers present, withdraw from the Council Chamber until the Jury List had been dealt with.

The draft Jury List for 1882 is taken into consideration, and the same having been revised and amended, and the Special Jurors having been designated, is finally adopted.

Read a second time the Bill for the naturalization of LAI SHUN-TING.

The Acting Colonial Treasurer informs the Council that Mr. LAI SHUN-TING is not at present a resident in the Colony.

The going into Committee on the Bill is postponed until Mr. LAI SHUN-TING's return to the Colony.

BE

[1st March, 1882.]

E it enacted by the Governor of Hongkong, with the advice of the Legislative Council thereof, as follows-

I. In the construction of this Ordinance, the expression "order of banishment" means an order of the Governor in Council, prohibiting a person from residing or being within this Colony, for a term not exceeding five years.

or

II. When any person not being a natural born naturalized subject of Her Majesty having been convicted of any offence punishable by imprisonment has within twelve months after the expiration of any term of imprisonment which he may have suffered for such offence been convicted of any offence punishable by imprisonment such person may at any time be required by any Magistrate to find reasonable security for his appearance in any Court for any purpose, and at any time within twelve months, and every adjudication to that effect shall be made in open Court, and reported forthwith to the Governor; and such person not finding such security shall be deemed a person dangerous to the peace of the Colony.

III. The Governor in Council may, by order, prohibit any person not being a natural born or naturalized subject of Her Majesty from residing or being within this Colony during any space of time not exceeding five years, and may by the same or any subsequent order, fix the time for the departure of such person from the Colony. Every order made under this section prohibiting any person from residing or being within this Colony shall contain a statement of the grounds upon which it is made.

under

IV. Every person who has been prohibited by order of the Governor in Council from residing or being within this Colony for any space of time not exceeding five

years the provisions of this or any other Ordinance, and who without lawful authority or excuse, the proof of which shall lie upon him, is in this Colony after the date of such order, or after the time fixed for his departure, and before the expiration of the term of his banishment, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction thereof shall be liable to imprisonment, with or without hard labour, for any period not exceeding one year: Provided that in all cases in which the prisoner when brought before a Magistrate upon such charge shall plead guilty thereto, it shall be lawful for the Magistrate to deal summarily with the case, instead of committing the prisoner for trial at the Supreme. Court.

V. The Governor may in his discretion grant to any offender convicted of any crime a pardon subject to either of the following conditions, as the case may be, viz: That such offender shall quit the Colony and not afterwards be found at large therein; or that such offender shall, in lieu of a sentence of death which may have been passed upon him by any Court of competent jurisdiction, suffer such term of imprisonment, with or without hard labour, or penal servitude, as the Governor may think fit.

MAJOR PALMER TO HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR.

HONGKONG, 24th February, 1882.

MY DEAR GOVERNOR,-Having devoted my spare evenings during the last two months to a little scientific work which will be of use to the Colony-namely, a precise determination of the latitude of Mount Elgin---I have much pleasure in sending Your Excellency the accompanying short account of my work and its results, as you will doubtless be glad to place such information on record, for future reference, and as an appendix to my Report of last year.

I am, Dear Sir,

Yours very faithfully,

H. SPENCER PALMER.

His Excellency, Governor Sir JOHN POPE HENNESSY, K.C.M.G.

ON A DETERMINATION OF LATITUDE AT MOUNT ELGIN, IN THE KAU-LUNG PENINSULA, BY MAJOR H. SPENCER PALMER, R.E., F.R.A.S.

In the scheme for the proposed Hongkong Physical Observatory which I drew up last year for the information of His Excellency the Governor, it was explained that astronomical observations in this island would pretty certainly be vitiated by deflection of the spirit-levels caused by the neigh- bouring hill masses; and this was adduced as one reason for favouring a site at Kau-lung, where the conditions—at least above ground-give no cause for apprehending sensible errors of that kind.

For various reasons, Lieutenant-Commander GREEN, of the United States' surveying-ship "Palos," whose scientific mission I described in the same paper, was obliged, on his arrival here in September last, to establish his own observing station on this shore. But he was fully alive to the weight of the objection explained above; and subsequently, when we were speaking together on the matter, he was good enough to offer to lend me one of his instruments for a month or two, in order that I might myself make a separate determination of latitude on Mount Elgin. With this obliging offer I gladly closed, feeling as I do the importance of having the latitude of the proposed Observatory site established with the highest accuracy possible, and under conditions free from the uncertainty which must affect any determination on this side of the harbour; while the fact that, relying on Lieutenant-Commander GREEN's expected visit, I had omitted from the Observatory scheme provision for a latitude instrument left no room for doubt as to the wisdom of accepting his offer and devoting some time and trouble to a determination which should be precise and final.

The operations and results are described in the following notes and tables.

Observing Station.-The observing station is near the western edge of the eastern of the two eminences which are together called Mount Elgin-the same on which it is proposed to erect the main building of the future Observatory. It is marked by a small pier, erected for the support of the instrument.

Instrument. The instrument used was a portable transit-instrument, adapted for use also as a zenith-telescope. It was made in America, by Messrs. ALVAN CLARK & SONS, for the United States' Transit of Venus Commission, 1874, and it is numbered 1505. This instrument is of the Diagonal form, which I believe originated in Russia, and in which the rays of light, instead of passing straight from the object to the eye end of the telescope, are bent at right angles by a prism fixed at the junction of the tube and axis, and so pass out at one of the pivots. The great advantage of this form of construction is that the observer occupies the same position no matter what be the zenith-distance of the star under observation. Its disadvantages, which are few, apply more to its use as a transit- instrument than as a zenith-telescope. Other advantages of this instrument are its easily manageable reversing apparatus and its remarkable stability under reversal.

The telescope has an object-glass of 2.5 inches aperture, and a focal length of about 30 inches; and the eye-piece commonly used magnifies about 50 diameters. Stars down to the seventh

228

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 4TH MARCH, 1882.

magnitude can be observed without difficulty. A delicate level and a filar micrometer constitute the zenith-telescope attachment. The level is affixed to one side of the tube, with its length at right angles to the horizontal axis, and revolves on a centre, its indications serving to give a measure of any small change of inclination of the telescope consequent on reversal. The value in arc of one division of this level, as determined at the Washington Naval Observatory, is 1."067. The micro- meter-screw carries three parallel threads perpendicular to the ruled lines of the transit reticule, the middle one of the three being that which is commonly used for measuring differences of zenith- distance. The value in arc of one revolution of the screw, as ascertained from numerous careful observations at the Washington Observatory, is 68."698; and, as the graduated screw-head is divided into 100 parts, each of which can be read to tenths by estimation, it affords a measure of .069 of a second of arc. The whole number of turns is read off on a comb at the side of the field of view, and these, for convenience, are numbered consecutively from left to right as viewed, the central tooth being Number 20. Parallactic motion is given to the eye-piece by a long-pitched screw, so that stars can be accurately observed either on the north or the south of the middle of the field.

Observing-hut.-For shelter, I had a roomy and well-designed portable wooden observatory, with the requisite openings, which was given to me by Lieutenant-Commander GREEN.

Pi.r.-The instrument-pier is of Canton blue bricks set in Portland cement, and rests on a shallow footing of brickwork, but is not isolated below the ground-level, though it has no contact with any part of the hut. This was found to answer very well, no unsteadiness having been perceptible during ordinary movements in the hut.

Zenith-telescope method of determining the Latitude.--In determining the latitude or declination of the zenith by the zenith-telescope method, the general procedure is as follows. Pairs of stars are chosen for observation, such that their meridianal zenith-distances shall be nearly equal, but on op- posite sides, north and south, of the zenith, and that they shall pass the meridian within a few minutes of one another. There is no fixed limit to the zenith-distance suitable for this method, but it is desirable not to pass much beyond 25°, and in this determination I have limited myself to within 20°, while the mean for all the pairs observed is just 8°. For difference of zenith-distance of any pair of stars the usual limit is 20′ of arc, in order that the stars may not be too near the edge of the field, and also that the resulting latitude may not be too largely affected by any error in the adopted value of the micrometer-screw. I have practically conformed to this limit on the present occasion, having in the case of two pairs only passed a little beyond it. The difference of Right Ascension should be not less than one minute, in order to allow time for reading and reversal, and it should not exceed twenty minutes, on account of the risk of instrumental changes in the interval, resulting from changes of temperature. About sixteen minutes is the greatest interval for any pair used in this determination.

Method of observation.-For observing, the instrument, having been previously adjusted carefully to the meridian, and its cross-axis levelled, is clamped at the mean of the zenith-distances of the two stars, and then directed at the proper time to the star which will pass the meridian first of the pair, the bubble of the telescope-level being brought to the middle of its run by the screw for that purpose. This star is bisected with the micrometer thread at or near the moment of its passage over the middle transit thread, the time being noted and, immediately afterwards, the level and micrometer-screw readings. The instrument (telescope and level remaining clamped) is then reversed, and it will evidently now be inclined to the zenith at the same angle as before, but on the opposite side of it, so that the second star will at the proper time appear in the field. This star is bisected at or near its transit, and the chronometer, level and micrometer read as before. The above constitutes one complete observation for latitude.

over

Advantages and disadvantages of the method.-The chief advantages of this beautiful method * all others are that it substitutes for measurements of large arcs small micrometric measurements of difference only of zenith-distance; that the time needs not be accurately known, an error of two or three seconds being of no moment; that possible errors arising from incorrect estimates of refraction are reduced to a minimum, inasmuch as the only term involving refraction which affects the result is the difference of refraction for stars at small and nearly equal zenith-distances; and that the effects of errors of flexure are similarly minimised. Its "weak point," at the present day, is the scarcity, for any station, of stars fulfilling the necessary conditions whose declinations have been determined with high precision. The stars available are mostly of small magnitudes, a circumstance which, though favourable to accurate bisection, presents the drawback that, as compared with the Clock and other Standard stars, they are seldom observed at the fixed observatories, except under special arrangements for this particular purpose.

Selection of Stars, and Computation of Mean Places.-It follows that, when possible, stars from the best catalogues only should be chosen; and, keeping this in view, I have limited myself to using none but stars that have been observed at the Royal Observatory, and whose places are given in the Greenwich Nine-Year Catalogue for 1872. In that catalogue, the Mean Places of the stars are given for the epoch 1872, January 1. Those places have been reduced to the epoch 1882, January 1, by the formula,

Mean R.A., 1882, January 1= A + (p + q + 100

Forty-eight stars, formed into 28 pairs, were used in the determination, each pair having been observed from one to five times. The average is two times for each pair, making 56 determinations, on eleven nights in January and February. Of these it has only been necessary to reject two as imperfect. The following Table exhibits, for each star, in Column I its name as taken from the Greenwich Nine-Year Catalogue for 1872; in Column II its number in that Catalogue; in Column III its number in the British Association Catalogue; in Column IV its Mean Right Ascension for 1882, January 1, computed as above; and in Column VI its computed Mean North Polar Distance for the same date. Columns V and VII show the number of observations at Greenwich, of Right Ascension and North Polar Distance respectively, in the Nine-Year period 1868 to 1876, which were combined to form the Mean Places given in the Catalogue for 1872, January 1.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 4TH MARCH, 1882.

Computation of Apparent Places.-In computing the Apparent Places of the several stars for the several dates of observation, I have used the formula,

66

Correction to Mean R.A. (in seconds of time)=Ee + Ff + Gg + Hh + L +1-300 + qt

where e, f, g, h, 1 are the constants for each star, given in the Nine-Year Catalogue; E, F, G, H, L the Airy's Day Numbers," given for each day in the Nautical Almanac; q the star's Annual Proper Motion in Right Ascension; and t the elapsed fraction of the year corresponding with the given date. The small correction for Daily Aberration has been neglected, a very precise knowledge of time being, as already stated, unnecessary.

Similarly, for Apparent North Polar Distance,

Correction to Mean N.P.D. (in seconds of arc)=Ee' + Ff' + Gg' + Hh' + L + l'−300 + q't

The Apparent Places thus found are those for Greenwich Mean Midnight of the several dates. The results, reduced to the several times of observation, are shown in Table II, further on, which exhibits the computations for latitude.

Routine of observations.—The instrument was erected on the 8th of January, and adjusted to the meridian the same evening. Observations for latitude were taken on the nights of January 9, 11, 12, 13, 15, 16, 20, 21, 23, and February 7. Clock and circumpolar stars were also observed on those nights, and the levelling of the cross-axis was carefully attended to. The times were taken with the Mean Solar Chronometer, ARNOLD and DENT, NO. 1,207, kindly lent to me by Commodore CUMING, R.N., from H.M.S. Victor Emanuel. It has run pretty steadily. The use of a mean solar timekeeper for stellar observations introduces a great deal of unwelcome labour and complication into the reductions, but I had no alternative, as a chronometer rated to sidereal time could not be obtained.

The steadiness of the transit-instrument during frequent use and reversal is shown by the small change of the azimuth errors, which varied only from 6".39 W. (horizontal value) on the 9th January to 6".95 E. on the 7th February, the azimuth screws not having been touched after the first adjust- ment to the meridian; and it would appear from the observations that this change is mainly due to a slow progressive movement of the pier. Such steadiness of a portable instrument on a new and imperfectly isolated pier, extending over a period of 29 days, is very satisfactory.

Investigation for the latitude.-For the latitude reductions, the investigation is as follows:-

Let Z and Z be the true meridianal zenith-distances of the south and north stars respectively, d and d' their North declinations, and L the latitude of the place; then,

L=d+ Z L-d-Z

L= 1⁄2 (d + d') + 1⁄2 (Z− Z' ) ...

(1)

Now, let z, z' be the (supposed) observed zenith-distances of the south and north stars; n,s the readings of the north and south ends of the level for the south star, and n', s' those for the north star; the value of one division of the level, in seconds of are; the correction for refraction for the south star, and that for the north star. And let it be assumed that the horizontal position of the level is that which corresponds to the condition, correction for level = 0.

Then, if (as in this case) the graduation of the level proceeds continuously from one extremity towards the object end of the telescope, the central division being 40.00, and if p, p' be the reduc- tions to the meridian in cases where the stars have been observed before or after the meridian passage, and f, f' the corrections for flexure for either star, it follows that

whence,

b

Z=2 / (n + s −80) + r − p +ƒ

b

Z' = z' — — — (n' + s' — 80 ) + r' — p' +ƒ'

1⁄2

-

↓ (% − Z') = ↓ ( z − 2') + { (n'−n) + (s' − s) } + ↓ (r−r') + ¿ (p' − p) + ↓ ( ƒ —ƒ')..............(2)

-

4

be

In the case of the zenith-telescope, z, z′ are not measured directly, but only their difference, z-z'. by means of the micrometer. To find the expression for this in terms of the micrometer; let the zenith distance corresponding to the central position of the micrometer thread; m, m' the micro- meter readings for the south and north stars, in revolutions of the micrometer screw; and M the value, in seconds of arc, of one revolution of the screw. Then, for that position of the instrument in which increase of micrometer readings corresponds with decrease of zenith distance,* it is plain that

Z

-m M - m'M

-

O

1⁄2 (m' - m) M

(3)

* In practice, to avoid confusion of signs, this position was always adhered to. It corresponds with the precept to observe stars North of the zenith with Circle East, and those South of the zenith with Circle West.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 4TH MARCH, 1882.

Then, by (1), (2), (3),

231

L= '!' (d + d') + ' (m' — m ) M + (u' −n)

-11) + (8'· +

+ ! ( r' − r ' ) + ! (p' − p) + 3 ( ƒ −ƒ' ) ......(4)

This is the final expression for the latitude. The correction to the meridian (p or p) may be computed by the equation,

As already mentioned. M-68"698. and 1."067

2 sin 2

i

p

sin 1"

cos L cos d

sin Z

where is the star's hour angle from the meridian, east or west; but it has not been necessary to use it in this case, all of the stars having been observed on the meridian, or so nearly so as not to necesitate any correction on that account. The correction for flexure, being only that which is due to the difference of the zenith distances of the two stars, is also inappreciably small, and has been neglected.

The correction for refraction, though small, is appreciable, and has been applied. It is found by the equation,

or, by (3),

! (r− r ) = ! {57"7sin (2-2) sec z}

{ (-?)= {57.7sin (mm) M sec *} (5)

......

This correction bears the same sign as the quantity m-m, as appears from this equation, as well as from the consideration that is positive only when is greater than 2', in which case, under the

given conditions, m'-m is also positive.

Tabulation of results.-The observations, reductions and results will be found embodied in the following Table, wherein Column I gives the date of observation; Column II the star's name, as in Table 1; Column III its B.A.C. number; Column IV its magnitude, from the Greenwich Nine-Year Catalogue for 1872; Column V its position, North or South of the zenith; Column VI the position of the instrument, Circle East or Circle West; Column VII the star's Apparent Right Ascension at transit over the meridian of the place; Columns VIII, IX the chronometer times of bisection and culmination, to the nearest second; Column X the interval, in chronometer time, between bisection and culmination; Column Xi the approximate error of the chronometer for each date; Column XII the micrometer readings, m,m', for the two stars of each pair, in revolutions and parts; Column XIII the quantity (m'-m); Column XIV, XV the readings of the north and south ends of the level, for both stars of each pair; Column XVI half the difference of the level indications for the two stars, or the quantity (n ́−n) + (s' −)}; Column XVII the star's Apparent Declination at transit over the meridian; Column XVIII half the sum of the declinations for each pair; Columns XIX, XX, XXI the corrections for micrometer, level and refraction, computed as already explained [see equations (4) and (5)]; and Column XXII the resulting value of the latitude from each pair.

Probable error of observation.-On the assumption that the probable error of a single complete observation is the same for every pair of stars, a comparison of the results in the above Table furnishes v be the several means for determining its mean value from all the pairs, thus. Let v

ifferences for any pair between the several results for latitude from that pair (of which there have been n observations) and the mean result from that pair; and let such differences or residuals be similarly taken out for all of the pairs which have been observed more than once; and let V be the sun of the squares of all these residuals, N the total number of determinations, M the total number of pairs observed more than once, and Q (=.6745) the factor for reduction of mean to probable_errors.

Here, V- 15.9288, N = 42, M — This value of the probable error of a single determination not only illustrates the high excellence of the method, but also exhibits a very satisfactory agreement with the adopted value (e · 0′′. 50) in the United States' Coast Survey Department, where the method has been in use for some 35 years.

Determination of the Final Latitude. The probable error of observation having been thus cal- culated, the observations can now be combined by weights in the usual way, and the final latitude and its probable error ascertained, as follows, it being assumed that the North Polar Distances in the Nine- Year Catalogue are correct.

Let n be the number of determinations of latitude from a pair of stars, I the mean resulting latitude from those determinations, w the weight of this mean ), and w/ the product of the weight into

n

4e2

the latitude; and let these quantities be taken out for the whole of the pairs observed. Then, if W be the sum of the weights, and X the sum of the values of wl, for all the pairs, the final latitude, L., is found by the formula,

X Lo

о TV

.(7)

о

Then, to find the probable error of L.; let v for each pair be the difference between L. and the value of 1 for that pair; the product of w for that pair into the square of the residuale; V the sum of the values of wr for all the pairs observed; the number of pairs; and the probable error

It is important that care be taken to obtain and record the true bearing and distance in feet of the centre of the pier from a fixed point in the proposed Observatory, such as the centre of the pier for the transit-instrument in that building.

I may also point out that it will be interesting hereafter to obtain, by means of a small triangula- tion across the harbour, the measured difference of latitude between Lieutenant Commander GREEN'S pier on the North Barrack Parade ground and my pier on Mount Elgin. Such measurement will afford a means of comparing the observed latitudes at the two places, as soon as his results have been made known; and the difference between the observed and measured differences should show the extent by which his observations have been affected by local attraction.

THE EARL OF KIMBERLEY TO GOVERNOR SIR JOHN POPE HENNESSY, K.C.M.G.

DOWNING STREET,

21st January, 1882.

SIR,-I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your despatch No. 163 of the 22nd of November last, enclosing a letter addressed to me by the Chairman of the Hongkong Chamber of Commerce respecting the alleged ill-treatment in Sydney of certain Chinese passengers from Hongkong by the steam ship Ocean in June and July of last year.

I transmit herewith for your information copy of a despatch on this subject which I have addressed to the Governor of New South Wales.

NEW SOUTH WALES. No. 6.

THE EARL OF KIMBERLEY TO GOVERNOR LORD A. Loftus.

DOWNING STREET,

19th January, 1882.

MY LORD, I have received a despatch from the Governor of Hongkong, forwarding a letter addressed to me by the Chairman of the Hongkong Chamber of Commerce, with other papers, copies of which are enclosed, respecting the alleged ill-treatment in Sydney, during June and July of last year, of certain Chinese passengers from Hongkong by the steam ship Ocean.

2. Sir J. POPE HENNESSY observes that without at all questioning the accuracy of the statements made in the various enclosures of Mr. RYRIE's letter, which would seem to indicate a determination on the part of some of the subordinate officials in Sydney to treat the Chinese passengers from Hongkong with needless severity, in the matter of Quarantine regulations, he is bound to admit that Sir HENRY PARKES and the members of the New South Wales Government repudiated the harsh proceedings of the subordinate officials of the Quarantine Department.

3. He further states that the harsh proceedings in question appear to have commenced on the 26th of June, and to have had their origin in an unfounded report that small-pox was raging in But that on learning, on Hongkong and had been introduced into Sydney by Chinese passengers.

the 17th of June, that Hongkong had been proclaimed, at Sydney to be an infected place, vessels from which should be placed in quarantine for small-pox, he called for a report from the Health officer, and was able to send the following telegram to the Government of New South Wales on the 20th of June.

"Health officer reports Hongkong free from any epidemic of infectious or contagious disease and "that out of the three thousand five hundred and eighty eight Chinese he examined this month as "Emigrants none were suffering from small-pox. The Governor therefore hopes that quarantine will "not be enforced against Hongkong."

4. Sir J. POPE HENNESSY quotes the following extract from an Article in the Sydney Morning Herald, of the 26th of July 1881, as showing that the truth as to the immunity of the Hongkong Chinese from small-pox was made known in New South Wales:—

"We must, in all fairness, take into account the large number of Chinamen who have been landed Up "at Port Darwin and Cooktown, without so far as has been recorded a single case of small-pox. "to the present time Hongkong has not shown itself a more dangerous port than London. We are "justified in taking every reasonable precaution, but we are not justified in reproaching the Hongkong • "Government undeservedly."

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 4TH MARCH, 1882.

243

5. No doubt Sir J. POPE HENNESSY adds, other Australian Newspapers have given circulation to inaccurate statements as to the alleged insanitary habits of the Hongkong Chinese and to the "small- pox dens" to be found in the Chinese quarter of Hongkong, but he urges that it is particularly unfair to speak of an epidemic of small-pox as being possible in Hongkong, as in fact the Chinese of Hongkong, at their own expense, maintain the only real system of vaccination that exists in the Colony, which, up to this time has kept the Colony remarkably free from small-pox.

6. I have to request Your Lordship to communicate this despatch and its enclosures to your Government.

By His Excellency's Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 4th March, 1882.

M. S. TONNOCHY. Acting Colonial Secretary.

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

Hydrographic Notice. [No. 39.]

CHINA SEA DIRECTORY, VOL. III.

NOTICE NO. 16.

CHINA.-EAST COAST.

The following information has been received from Captain R. H. Napier, H. M. surveying vessel Magpie, 1881.*

(All Bearings are Magnetic. Variation 2° Westerly in 1881.)

SAN-MOON BAY TO YANG-TSE-KIANG.

CLIFF ISLANDS.--The island formerly marked on the chart at about one mile N.E. from the northernmost Cliff island, is a rock which dries 5 feet at low water.

MONTAGU ISLAND.-There is good anchorage in the bay on the south side of Montagu island, but the depths have decreased since the survey of 1843; the bottom is even and consists of mud.

Ellis Island, situated 4 miles south of Montagu Island, has a rock lying about 2 cables from its north-west end. Nose Islet, which is nearly connected with the cast coast of Nyew-Tew island, has a reef of rocks extending from it in an easterly direction, for a distance of 2 cables.

Heroine Rock is small, dries 4 feet at low water springs, and has depths of 5 to 7 fathoms close around. From: this rock the summit of East Twin bears E. by N. & N., Cape Conway, N.N.W. W., and small islet near west end of Leaming island, N.W. by W. W. This position of Heroine rock confirms that assigned to it by Commander E. 0. Matthews, U.S.S. Ashuelot, 1875.t

Mouse Islet, situated N.N.W. 5 miles from the north-east extreme of Kweshan islands, is 20 feet high; at 11⁄2 cables N.W. N. from this islet lies a rock which covers at half tide.

Pylades Rock was unsuccessfully searched for by the Magpie, a depth of 3 fathoms having been obtained on its assigned position, but a rock (probably Pylades) awash at low water springs, was found about a mile S. W. by S. of that position. From this rock the summit of Mesan island is seen between the Whelps, bearing N.E. by N., Castle rock in line with Buffaloe's Nose (summit) N. W., and Thornton Peak W. S.

Starboard Jack Rocks, 30 feet high, are easily distinguished by their black appearance.

Mariner Reef is 200 yards long, east and west, and 17 yards broad, with 5 fathoms close around. From this reef Volcano island lighthouse bears S. W. by W. W., Skead island, S. E., and Borrow head E. S.

Bonham Islands. A spit with 4 to 6 fathoms mud, extends 14 miles in a westerly direction from the northernmost Bonham island.

The 9 foot rock, formerly reported as being about midway between Bonham and Morrison islands, though searched for by the Magpie, was not found, it has therefore, been removed from the chart.

Gutzlaff Island. The 2 fathoms bank reported to extend a mile from the west side of Gutzlaff island, was unsuccessfully searched for by the Magpie; this bank has, therefore, been expunged from the chart.

Tonbridge Rock, on which the vessel of that name was said to have struck, in the year 1872, at 24 miles northward of Chesney island, is reported by Captain Anduson, of the Chinese Imperial revenue steam vessel Qua-hsing, not to exist. The Magpie remained at anchor near the reported position of Tonbridge rock during two spring tides, but no indication of a rock or shoal was seen.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 11TH MARCH, 1882.

1881.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION--No. 104.

The following Annual Report from the Postmaster General is published for general information.

By His Excellency's Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 11th March, 1882.

W. M. DEANE, Acting Colonial Secretary.

GENERAL POST OFFICE, HONGKONG, 16th February, 1882.

SIR, I have the honour to report on the British Postal Service in Hongkong and China during

2. Few persons who have had much to do with the preparation of Reports, especially of such as are drawn up in the mere course of routine, can have avoided asking themselves whether these annually recurring documents are of any use? And when they mainly consist of masses of tabulated figures, it may be doubted whether they are of such practical service as to compensate for the heavy expense of printing. It is satisfactory therefore to consider that valuable additions to our Postal Service -Parcel Post with India and with Ceylon, and a Money Order system with India--have been instituted as direct consequences of the Report prepared in this Department last year. Advantage has been taken of the initiation of the India Money Order system to revise our Rates of Money Order Commission (adapting them to the decimal coinage of this Colony) and to assimilate those levied on Local and Intercolonial orders to the sums charged on Imperial and Indian orders.

It may

be hoped the 3. A Parcel Post with France will probably also shortly be commenced. time is not far distant when any small object, not of an unsuitable nature, will be transmissible by post at a moderate rate.

4. Continual vigilance will have to be maintained, however, to prevent the transmission of articles utterly unsuitable for forwarding by post. A complaint was received during the year from the German Post Office, that a box of Vesta matches forwarded in a Registered Letter from Shanghai had exploded in the travelling Post Office van, thereby nearly leading to an accident the results of which might not have been confined to the Mails or the Mail Officers. Lucifers of Japanese manufacture also took fire in this Office. The senders of these matches would no doubt have been ready to argue that they were the most innocuous things in the world. Everybody is always convinced of the harmlessness of his own sample. A tin of sardines, for instance, looks as if it might go round the globe, and so, under favourable circumstances* it might. On the other hand it might not go twenty yards without an unpleasant accident. It happens to be the bottom packet in a heavy bag, the coolie who is carrying that bag to the wharf lets it fall, the end of the tin is immediately driven out, and the contents of the bag soaked in oil.

5. A correspondence arose with the London Office as to whether sugar should not be classed as one of those substances which must never be sent by post at all. The letters exchanged are printed in the Appendix. In view of the importance of the growing trade in sugar it is a pity that the tran- smission of samples cannot be arranged, but it is impossible not to defer to the larger experience of the London Office which proves such transmission to be practically unsafe.

6. The trouble and delay caused by the large numbers of short-paid newspapers alluded to in last year's Report continued until the London Office cut the knot by sending them all out by private ship. They still arrive (but now as fully paid) in considerable quantities. All endeavours to get at the senders and impress on them that newspaper Postage from the United Kingdom to China is Three- half-pence seemed to fail.

7. This was perhaps partly owing to the idea which prevails that sums charged as postage must be the same in all countries. It is not so. prescribe limits which must not be exceeded, but within those limits there is a discretion, especially as Hence it is that a newspaper sent to the rates on correspondence carried long distances over sea.

8. It was found necessary to put a stop to a practice which prevailed here of posting letters without any attempt to prepay them. The senders were mostly clerks, and the reason for this bad habit would generally be found in the fact that the addressee in any given case was employed by some firm, to whose account the postage would be charged instead of coming out of the pocket of either of the correspondents. Now an unpaid letter gives at least twenty times as much trouble as a paid one, The person therefore and all unpaid letters tend to retard the delivery of the mail in which they are. who, having the means to prepay his letter, does not prepay it, can only be regarded as a public enemy. It has been necessary to remind the young gentlemen who carried on the practice referred to that prepayment of local correspondence is compulsory.

* A pair of the silvered glass globes used for Christmas trees were once sent to this Office very indifferently packed with cotton wool in a cigar box. The box was smashed into little pieces, and one of the globes was represented only by a handful of fragments. But the other, which had come all the way from Brindisi wrapped only in a bit of brown paper, reached Hongkong unbroken!

9. No portion of the community is so determined to send unpaid letters if possible as the less intelligent class of Indian traders, some of whom will wander round the Office trying window after window to get their letters accepted without payment. In many other respects they are the most troublesome class of people the Post Office here has to deal with. "The careless way in which they write the addresses on letters, the apathy with which they view delay or loss of correspondence, "their ineradicable belief that an unpaid letter travels more safely than a paid one, and their incom- prehensible custom of refusing correspondence on the ground that they do not know the writer, or "that they do not expect a letter" *-all these things make them difficult to deal with in Postal business, and to these must be added their cherished habit of affixing stamps on the wrong side of the envelope, their belief that the person to whom a Registered Letter is addressed is bound to take it in, and, worst of all, a way they have of complaining that Registered Letters have not been delivered, because an answer has not arrived by the very first opportunity, although perhaps there was hardly time for an answer at all.

10. It has been necessary on two occasions to set in motion the law as to giving accurate notice of the departures of steamers, and several times to threaten to do so. It may be conceded at once that steamers cannot start to the minute, and therefore, unless they are to lose time by waiting for fixed hours, absolutely exact notice is impossible, but it has always been the aim of this Department to read the Ordinance in a reasonable spirit, and not to make difficulties about trifles. Perhaps as the result of this, an idea seems to have grown up that any sort of notice will do for the Post Office. Agents notify their steamers to start at noon when they must know perfectly well they will never move before evening or perhaps well into the following day. It may possibly be necessary to take further steps to establish a better state of things, but it is hoped the publication of these remarks may suffice. An hour in the business portion of the day, or two hours at other times (from dark to daylight not counting however) is the extreme margin which should be allowed to elapse without a supplementary notice.

11. The contract mails will probably continue to leave on Monday during half the year. A letter on this subject from the London Post Office is printed in the Appendix.†

12. In July last the P. & O. Packet Pekin broke her shaft soon after leaving Singapore on the outward voyage. The mails were brought on here by the Deucalion (Blue Funnel line) reaching this Colony and Shanghai four days after the respective contract times. A further delay of two hours in the delivery of papers &c., resulted at Shanghai, as there was not time to sort them in this Office.

13. In February last the Japanese packet Sumida Maru, which had on board the French and English Mails for Kobe and the English Mail for Yokohama, broke a piston and had to put into Amoy in distress. After a good deal of telegraphing it was decided to send the mails on from Amoy to Shanghai, and thence through the Inland Sea. The Mitsu Bishi packet waited for them at Shanghai nearly a week, and they did not reach their destinations until after considerable delay.

14. The forwarding of mails to Japan, since the P. & O. packets between Hongkong and that country ceased to be subsidised, has proved a somewhat difficult matter-difficult at least to carry out to the satisfaction of all concerned. Of two steamers starting about the same time for the same place, it is often impossible to form even a reasonable guess as to which will arrive first. The Agents frequently cannot tell to within 12 hours or so how soon their vessels will start. When the chance of catching other packets at Shanghai or Yokohama is added, with a doubt whether the printed Time Table is being strictly observed, the problem often does become rather tangled. Difficult as it may be, however, to point out the best route a day before, it is particularly easy to do so a week after, when all the possibilities have become certainties, a distinction perhaps somewhat overlooked by impatient expectants of the Mail, who fail to see why the Post Office could not be equally wise before the event. The rule of this Office has been No risks, and, failing the appointment of an Agent of the Japanese Post Office or communities to choose the routes for mails, it will be adhered to.

15. General International Statistics for the settlement of accounts were taken in May last. They passed off smoothly and without any irregularity. The arrears in accounts alluded to in previous Reports have mostly disappeared, as much so in fact as they ever will. It is not possible, under the Union system, to have accounts as closely up to date as when each month's transactions were accounted for at the end of that month,

16. A considerable increase is observed in the correspondence for Union Countries (other than the United States) forwarded to San Francisco for distribution. That for Canada forms the largest item, but Chinese letters for Hawaii (which has entered the Union) bid fair to outnumber it. Many Chinese letters are also forwarded to Cuba, Peru, and Chili, a few even to Costa Rica and the Argentine Republic.

* Indian Post Office Manual. Preface, p. xxii.

† Since the above was written Tuesday has been fixed for the English Mail,

A case in point may be cited, as follows:-The English Mail arrived here per Kaisar-i-hind on January 9th (1882), and went on to Shanghai the next morning. The Nagasaki Mail would have been sent up in her as usual, but that the Sunda was advertised to start for Naga- saki direct on the 11th, and was thus undoubtedly the better opportunity. The Mail was therefore kept for the direct steamer, but scarcely had the Kaisar-i-hind left the harbour than the Sunda's departure was indefinitely postponed, thus keeping the Nagasaki Mail here for some days.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 11TH MARCH, 1882.

17. An improvement, suggested by NOEL TROTTER, Esq., of the Straits Settlements Post It is based upon the fact that, Office, has been introduced into the sorting of the French Mail. in sorting letters to many addresses, more time is consumed in walking to and fro than in the actual placing of the correspondence. It is therefore an economy to detach two officers to perform a preliminary sorting of the correspondence into Sections, which Sections are then sorted, without walking about, by the others. Although the staff is necessarily weakened by two, and though each letter is sorted twice, the plan is found to save about fifteen minutes out of two hours. It may be possible eventually to apply it to newspapers also.

18. A table will be found in the Appendix shewing the amounts of correspondence posted in the Pillar boxes at the West End of the Town, which are cleared three times a day. As will be seen, the numbers are not large, but the boxes are maintained, as it is desirable to have frequent communication along so long a line of road. Should the Town spread much more to Westward a subsidiary Office near the Gas works will probably become necessary.

19. The quickest transits between Hongkong and London or vice versâ have been 32 days, the Mail having twice arrived here within that period by P. & O. packet, and having twice been carried home in 32 days by French packet. The slowest passage was 43 days (Oxus, with Mail of November 11th), but this was due to four days' detention in the Suez Canal. There have been eight transits of 40 days, of which six were by consecutive homeward P. & O. packets (Mails of April 28th to July 7th

year :- inclusive). The following are approximate* averages for the

(A.)—TRANSMISSION OF SAMPLES OF SUGAR.

GENERAL POST OFFICE, HONGKONG, 14th October, 1881.

SIR,—I have had the honour to receive your letter No. 144,306 of September 6th on the subject of certain samples of Sugar forwarded from Swatow through this office.

Before issuing a notice to foreign residents in China prohibiting the sending of samples of sugar, however packed, I venture respectfully to ask your favourable consideration of the question whether sugar, when packed in tin, really does contravene Article V (3rd sub-section, 2) of the Convention of Paris.

Nothing can be more objectionable, I admit, than sugar when packed in paper or other porous material. But whilst a very large number of samples of sugar in tin have passed through this office during the last few years; not a single complaint of practical inconvenience has been received, except your representation that it is not easy to inspect the contents. This however, would apply still more strongly to the samples of tea which are despatched from China by thousands every year, and I need hardly say that any attempt to prohibit the sending of muster tins of tea would cause a great outcry. At present rates of Postage there is little inducement to anybody to insert letters in sample packets, and especially nobody would do so in packets of sugar, as the letters would be rendered illegible and the sugar discoloured.

If people were prompted to send sugar through the Post merely by the trifling motives which lead them to send bride-cake and other such unsuitable matters, I would not say a word in defence of the practice. There can be little doubt, however, that sugar refining is going to be an enormous business in China, probably second only to the trade in Such being tea. Within the last few years this industry (quite a new one) has increased in the most striking manner. the case, I beg to submit that the prohibition of a practice so vitally bound up with successful business as the sending of samples is rather a serious matter, and, in face of the fact that some offices even allow the transmission of liquids, would certainly provoke grave discontent.

The sender of the packets in question (which would seem to have arrived perfectly dry) was wrong in affixing so much information to his tin boxes, but otherwise he had taken considerable pains to comply with the stipulations of the local Post Office Guide, which I append.

Whatever your decision in this matter may be, I hope that any samples of sugar arriving in good order up till the time upon it be delivered. when I shall have received your answer and acted

GENERAL POST OFFICE, LONDON, 3rd December, 1881.

SIR,-I have to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 14th of October last, No. 712, in which, with reference to the communication from this Department of the 6th September, you urge that samples of sugar should be allowed to pass through the post between China and this country.

The Department has carefully reconsidered this question, but it can see no reason for altering its opinion that the transmission of sugar from hot climates, or indeed under any circumstances, is contrary to the provisions of Article 5 of the Convention of Paris of 1878, which forbids the transmission of any thing likely to stain or injure the correspondence.

It is possible, no doubt, that samples of sugar may sometimes pass through the post without injurious results; but, on the other hand, it is the experience of the Officers here that such samples frequently arrive in an almost liquid condition, and it is not found that sufficient security is afforded by packing them in the way you suggest, as even Tin Boxes are liable to be crushed to a sufficient extent to allow of the moisture exuding and damaging the correspondence.

Packets in such a condition were received here from Batavia on several occasions last year-causing considerable damage—and it was found necessary to remonstrate strongly with the Batavian Post Office, through the Director of Posts at The Hague.

Under these circumstances, the Department, while regretting any inconvenience which may result from this needful restriction being enforced, must ask you to be so good as to take steps to prevent the transmission of sugar samples to this country in future.

I may add that, in the view of the Department, the foregoing objections apply equally to the transmission of soap and candles, both of which articles are described as admissible in the extract from the Local Postal Guide which you enclosed.

I am, Sir,

Your obedient Servant,

The Postmaster General, Hongkong.

(B.)—MAIL DEPARTURE ON MONDAY.

(Signed)

G. HARDY,

No. 487.

GENERAL POST OFFICE,

LONDON, 7th April, 1881.

SIR, I have received your letter of the 15th February last, in which, whilst acknowledging the receipt of a supply of copies of the Time Table of the India and China Mail Packet Services for the present year, you call attention to an inconvenience which you state is felt by the community of Hongkong by Monday having been fixed for the departure of the homeward Packet during half the year, viz. from October to March.

The Postmaster General is sorry for the inconvenience thus occasioned to the community of Hongkong, but he does not at present see any remedy for it. In arranging a service like that of the combined India, China and Australia Mails, all in connection at Suez with a single line to Brindisi, it is obviously not possible to suit the convenience of every place served. All that can be done is to make the best general arrangements which are practicable.

Last year it was found that there was not sufficient interval between the arrival of the India Mail in England and the return Mail, and great inconvenience was experienced here in consequence. In order to remove this inconvenience arrangements were concerted, after much deliberation between the India Office and this Department, for bringing the Mails into London regularly every Tuesday throughout the year, so as to allow sufficient time to all parts of the Kingdom to receive letters and answer them by the return Mail.

This advantage is attained by the present Time Table, and the arrangement promises to be successful.

It will no doubt prove most acceptable to the Mercantile and other interests connected with India and China, and the Postmaster General would be very reluctant to make any change which would interfere with the scheme.

The Postmaster General, Hongkong.

I am, &c.,

No. 16.

SIR, I have the honour to submit my Report on the Progress and Condition of the Botanical and Afforestation Department for the year 1880.

2. The removal from the gardens of plants and shrubs of which the individuals of some kinds. were too numerous has been carried on for the benefit and better appearance of those remaining, as well as to make room for newer introductions. Considerable work has also been done in transplanting shrubs and trees which were too crowded or ill placed.

3. Persea Nanmu. Oliv. From the small tree of this valuable timber tree of Yun-nan, which Mr. Watters kindly sent from Ichang, we have procured about half a dozen young plants, by layering. The little tree has succeeded very well in our garden, and if a large stock of it could be obtained it might be a valuable addition to our plantations. I have tried to get seeds or plants from Yun-nan, and correspondents have kindly promised their assistance, but as yet nothing has come to hand.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.-No. 105.

The following Report from the Superintendent, Botanic and Afforestation Department, is published for general information.

By His Excellency's Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 11th March, 1882.

W. M. DEANE, Acting Colonial Secretary.

SUPERINTENDENT, BOTANIC AND AFFORESTATION DEPARTMENT, TO ACTING COLONIAL SECRETARY.

BOTANIC GARDEN, 18th April, 1881.

No. 16.

SIR, I have the honour to submit my Report on the Progress and Condition of the Botanical and Afforestation Department for the year 1880.

2. The removal from the gardens of plants and shrubs of which the individuals of some kinds. were too numerous has been carried on for the benefit and better appearance of those remaining, as well as to make room for newer introductions. Considerable work has also been done in transplanting shrubs and trees which were too crowded or ill placed.

3. Persea Nanmu. Oliv. From the small tree of this valuable timber tree of Yun-nan, which Mr. Watters kindly sent from Ichang, we have procured about half a dozen young plants, by layering. The little tree has succeeded very well in our garden, and if a large stock of it could be obtained it might be a valuable addition to our plantations. I have tried to get seeds or plants from Yun-nan, and correspondents have kindly promised their assistance, but as yet nothing has come to hand.

4. Cytisus proliferous var. ("Tagasaste"). The seedlings (about 50) which were planted on the hills about a year ago grew remarkably well until the hot weather and rains commenced, when, I regret to say, they all perished, proving the unsuitability of the climate for this fodder plant.

5. Rhagodia hastata (Australian "Salt Bush"). The same may be said of this fodder plant as of the above "Tagasaste," it having grown vigorously until the hot weather and rains set in, when it perished.

6. Pithecolobium Saman (The "Rain Tree"). Small trees which were carefully planted in prepared ground in 1879 continue to thrive, many of them are six to seven feet high. But those which were planted in unprepared ground, although nursed by the trees of a young plantation in which they were planted, are only about two feet high.

7. Manihot Glaziovii (Ceara Scrap Rubber). In good soil a small plant, which I brought from Kew Gardens in 1878, and which was then only about three inches high, has grown to a tree about 15 feet high and is now seeding freely. It seeded last year also and from the seeds which were produced we raised several small plants which were planted on the hills, at about 400 feet altitude, last autumn, but the cold of the past few months killed them down to the ground-the lowest temperature recorded at the gardens, alt. 300 feet, was 46°-but all are now making new shoots from the surface of the ground. The old plants were not affected by the cold.

8. Liberian Coffee. A few plants of this, which have been in the gardens for four years, do not thrive at all well, although the Arabian coffee grows luxuriantly and fruits abundantly.

The tree from 9. Pai-cha wood. The wood used at Ningpo for carving is called by this name. which the wood is obtained has not yet been identified, but as I have succeeded in obtaining a small plant of what is reputed to be the true one, there is some hope that when it flowers the doubt may be set at rest; judging from the appearance of the plant without flowers or fruit, it is a species of Evonymus.

10. Macadamia ternifolia (the "Queensland Nut"). In my last report I mentioned that this had flowered for the first time here. Now I am able to state that the flowers were succeeded by a very

of nuts which tasted quite equal in flavour to those produced in Queensland.

fair crop

11. Sheds with screens of canvas on rollers have been put up for the better cultivation of Ferns and some other plants which cannot be well grown unless they are protected from the powerful sun- rays and heavy rains. The plants grown in these structures have shown a marked improvement for the extra care bestowed upon them. These sheds and the orchid-house are, I hope, the fore-runners of more ornamental and accessible structures which might, with advantage, be added to our acknow- ledged beautiful, but small gardens.

12. The Aviaries and Orchid-house which were in a very dilapidated state have been repaired and put in a fairly effective condition. The Monkey-house has not been repaired, although it is very much decayed. The house is, I believe, badly placed for the health of the animals; scarcely any sun can ever enter the house, and it is exposed to all the cold weather which we get from the northerly winds. I would strongly recommend the abandonment of the place altogether and the keeping of monkeys, unless a proper house could be provided for them. The structure is of wood, and ever since it was erected it has been constant trouble and expense to keep the animals in the house, as they are continually eating away and pulling down the boards of which the house is constructed.

13. The following plants flowered for the first time in these gardens:---

Aristolochia longifolia. Brassaia actinophylla. Cypripedium Stonei. Dendrobium Paxtonii. Echeveria metallica. Frenela pendula.

Lettsomia Chalmersii.

Mezoneurum brachycarpum. Monstera deliciosa. Peperomia arifolia.

marmorata.

Rhododendrom Championæ. Seaforthia elegans.

Tecoma australis.

14. During the year under notice the following plants, hitherto unrecorded as being indigenous to Hongkong, have been discovered in the Island:-

Asplenium lunulatum, Sonerila tenera, and Otanthera Fordi, Hance, novum species.

15. Dr. KING, Superintendent of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Calcutta, kindly presented for the library a copy of Griffith's Palms of India.

16. As the gardens are becoming crowded, the interchange of plants and seeds has not been conducted with quite so much vigour as in former years when there was more necessity for the importation of plants to stock the newly formed portions of the garden. The number of contributors was 32, from whom 677 plants and 145 packets and parcels of seeds, and 8 birds and animals were received. 1,834 plants and 190 packets and parcels of seeds were supplied from the garden to 41 recipients.

19. Nine years experience has shown that two-year old seedings of Pinus sinensis cannot be successfully and economically planted in consequence of the roots penetrating the soil to such a distance that balls of soil cannot be kept adhering so perfectly as desirable to the roots. No seeds of

No seeds of any kind were sown in the nurseries during 1879 for a supply of trees which should have been provided for planting during the year under notice, therefore when the Afforestation Department was returned to my charge in the end of the year 1879 I found that there was nothing available for planting except the refuse in the nurseries after the planting of 1879 had been finished, and these remaining trees were, through having been too much crowded, attenuated and very unpromising subjects for planting on the exposed hills, for which sturdy well grown plants should always be prepared. It was, however, advisable to do something with the available trees, therefore the worst weak and sickly trees were pulled up and sacrificed, to afford what benefit could be obtained during three or four months, which intervened between that time and the tree-planting season, to the trees which were selected for planting. In the face of these drawbacks it was anticipated that, however careful we might be in transplanting, a large percentage of deaths would inevitably ensue, a result which occurred, but not to the extent anticipated; about 20 per cent. only succumbed.

20. About seven years ago an experiment was made of sowing seeds of Pinus sinensis in situ, that is, small places, each about a foot square, were dug and levelled on the hillside where it was intended trees should grow, and on these sites a few seeds were sown. The trees on the plots of ground thus treated succeeded so well, and finding also that the trees reared by the villagers on Chinese territory and on this island had been thus reared, I was induced to prepare and sow 60,000 sites in the same manner. The seedlings on these sites having given sufficient promise of succeeding, a much larger area-viz., nearly 600 acres, containing about 650,000 sites-was selected for this mode of afforestation during 1881. Although the trees reared in situ do not grow so vigorously for the first few years as those reared in and transplanted from nurseries, still the method has much to recommend

272

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 11TH MARCH, 1882.

it. Taking it for granted that the same amount voted for afforestation during this year will be granted annually until the wooding of the island is completed, we shall be able to accomplish this desirable object in a quarter of the time, by sowing in situ, of that necessary under the nursery system. When them the trees are large enough to fell for firewood, &c. a financial return for the outlay expended upon can, it is hoped, be obtained by judicious periodical thinning and felling of portions of the plantations. 21. It is still desirable that nurseries, although on a smaller scale, should be maintained for raising a supply of trees for planting in situations where sowing in situ may be impracticable, and also for rearing other than pine trees which demand nursery treatment preparatory to planting, as it will be an object kept steadily in view to experiment with, and introduce, where successful, such foreign trees as are suitable for our soil, climate, and exposure, as will relieve the monotonous aspect of too much of any one kind of tree, besides, if possible, introducing others which may be valuable for timber or other economic uses.

22. As will be seen by the foregoing list several other than pine trees have been planted. I may mention first the Eucalypti of which over 1,500, comprising about a dozen kinds, were planted. Where these were planted amongst three-year planted pines they succeeded fairly well; Eucalyptus citriodora, the lemon-scented gum, having grown to, in some instances, 9 feet high in ten months, the largest having a circumference of 3 inches at one foot from the ground. Those planted away from the shelter of other trees have not done so well. The pine trees on the large area planted during 1880 will be about the right size in 1883 to be good nurses for other trees which I would. advise being planted amongst them. It would be necessary to begin the preparation of such trees next year. More trees of the lemon-scented gum would have been planted last year, but it was impossible, in consequence of the limited supply in its native country, Queensland, to obtain sufficient seeds.

23. On the spur of Mount Gough jutting out towards Head Quarter House, above Kennedy Road, the sky-line of the ridge, at the instigation of His Excellency the Governor, was planted. Large bam- boos, oaks (Quercus salicina, and Q. Harlandi), pines, and banians were used. The effect is very good, and the plantation a marked improvement to the scenery on the upper side of the above named road. There was much trouble in getting the large and weighty trees up the steep hill, but the result obtained is well worth the trouble which was taken.

24. The nurseries were taken in hand and a large number of pines reared for planting in 1881, besides several other trees such as Albizzias, candleberry tree, tallow tree, oaks, &c., some of which will be planted this year, and some next, when they will have become a good size.

25. Although so much work is being done in tree-planting, the nature of the ground operated on, and its distance from the roads, renders the work hardly appreciable to casual observers. After they have been planted on the hills, the small trees remain hidden by the long grass until about two years after- wards when, just as they overtop the grass, they become plainly visible from a distance, and at the end of the third year they make a very fair show. Those sown in situ are about one year longer than the others before they alter the appearance of the landscape. In a year hence the trees which were planted twelve months ago will be visible from the roads; of the trees then visible there will be about 120,000, that is, nearly twice as many as are contained in all the other plantations put together.

26. Afforestation consists not merely of planting trees but of conservation and preservation from The wanton and accidental destruction of trees, shrubs, and seeds at present on the ground. recent authorization of the appointment of Forest Guards, to check the destruction of, and damage to, trees and shrubs by persons and goats will have a most salutary effect. Still, although the damages will be greatly diminished, some offences must necessarily occur, as there will always be some persons in this, as well as other things, to break the law when they can have a chance to do so with impunity. I believe that the cutting of trees is frequently done at night in the vicinity of villages and near the sea-coast, at the latter, probably, by boat people.

27. The Little-Hongkong woods-the most beautiful bits of natural forest vegetation on the island-suffer considerably from the depredations of wood cutters. The vegetation is in most parts so thick and impenetrable that it is difficult to patrol the woods efficiently. It would be a great aid to their preservation if some walks or narrow tracks could be cut through them, not only for the benefit of the Forest Guards in their work, but also to render the woods accessible to pedestrians and picnic parties, to whom this portion of the island might become a favourite resort if it were made a little more attractive by artificial means. Perhaps something in the way of a Japanese or Chinese "tea-garden" might be established there. A new mountain road from the top of the Little-Hongkong woods to Wántsai Gap, where it would form a junction with the Wántsai and Aberdeen road, would make the woods accessible and form a pleasant walk from this side of the island and from the Peak houses.

On the 15th of September an Electric Telegraph Office, combined with a special establishment for exchanging signals with vessels passing at sea, will be opened at Vinga at the entrance to Gottenburg.

This Office is situated 140 meters westward from the Vinga beacon.

304

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 18TH MARCH, 1882.

Telegrams coming from ships will, at the request of the sender, be forwarded to their destination in the above mentioned kind of cipher; in case no such request should be made, the despatch will be forwarded in Swedish translation.

The charge for messages by signal letters will, in the rule, be calculated at the following rate : (a) for signalling: 1 krona 50 ore for any number of words;

(b) the forwarding of the message through the telegraph will be charged according to the established tariff of rates for inland and foreign telegraphic correspondence.

The whole amount of both these posts is to be paid: for telegrams sent to vessels by the sender, and for despatches coming from vessels by the receiver.

Passing vessels will be able, by simply hoisting the ensign with their distinguishing signal, i. e. their official number in the Code List, to have their passage reported by telegraph to any person within Sweden, who, by letter or telegram, shall have previously applied to the office for such purpose, at the same time giving his address.

In such cases no charge will at present be made for the signalling, and the person to whom a message is addressed will only have to pay the ordinary charge for the transmission by telegraphic wire and such expenses as the forwarding of the message to its address from the nearest telegraph- office may involve.

After the establishment of the Electric-Telegraph Office, the Optical Telegraph at Vinga will no longer be used.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION-No. 126.

The following letter, with enclosure, from the Inspector of Schools, reporting the result of the examination of the Grant-in-Aid Schools, is published for general information.

By His Excellency's Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 18th March, 1882.

No. 53.

W. M. DEANE, Acting Colonial Secretary.

EDUCATION DEPARTMENT, HONGKONG, 27th February, 1882.

SIR,-I have the honour to forward under this enclosure the usual Tabulated Summary of the grants earned, in 1881, by the various Grant-in-Aid Schools, amounting to $10,466.01, which sum exceeds the sum provided in the Estimates for 1882 by $1,966.01. But as the sum of $240 has already been paid, under C.S.O. 482 for rewards to Masters of Government Schools, and debited as usual to the Grants-in-Aid Account, the actual excess of expenditure over the sum provided in the Estimates amounts to $2,206.01.

This excess is caused by the increased number of Grant-in-Aid Schools, ten new Schools having been brought under the provisions of the Grant-in-Aid Scheme in 1881. The number of Grant-in-Aid Schools has risen from 27 in 1880 to 37 in 1881.

As regards the excess of amount of grant earned by certain of these Schools over their respective amounts of actual expenditure, I have solicited the attention of the Government to the matter in my Letter No. 43 of 24th January last, when I recommended to reduce the grants (under Rule No. 7) to two-thirds or three-fourths of the expenditure incurred by each School. As this recommendation has not met with the approval of His Excellency the Governor, I can under the circumstances only re- commend that the Grants be paid as per tables enclosed, but that notice be given to all the Managers of Grant-in-Aid Schools that steps will be taken to introduce in the Grant-in-Aid Scheme the following Rule, which I herewith beg His Excellency the Governor to introduce into the Scheme, as an addition to Rule No. 9:-

"No grant will be made to any School for any one year to an amount exceeding two-thirds of the "expenditure incurred by the School during that year. But in cases where rent is not actually paid, "the rental of the premises occupied by the School may be valued by the Government Valuators and a sum equal to the value of the rental of the premises included in the expenditure of the Schools."

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

66

Acting Colonial Secretary.

Your most obedient Servant,

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.—No. 139.

The following Report from the Superintendent, Botanic and Afforestation Department, is published for general information.

By His Excellency's Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 25th March, 1882.

W. M. DEANE, Acting Colonial Secretary-

No. 9.

BOTANIC GARDEN, 22nd March, 1882. SIR,-I have the honour to report on the Botanical and Afforestation Department for the year 1881.

2. The general orderly appearance of the gardens has been maintained, and, with one exception, no great disturbing influence occurred to cause much damage or destruction to plants or grounds. In former years the walks have sometimes received immense damages during heavy falls of rain in the storms to which we are subject, but the experience which has been gained of these destructive rains has been brought to bear on, what was, defective drain and water-channel works for their improve- ment. There are still some improvements required, but these will, I hope, as circumstances and means permit, be effected. The exception alluded to was a large land-slip which occurred in the Glenealy Ravine towards the end of the rainy season, carrying away a stone bridge and many tons of earth. The damage is still unrepaired, but now that money required for its repair has been voted, I hope soon to see the necessary works commenced. The present appearance is a sad disfigurement to the beautiful ravine, as well as the absence of the bridge being an inconvenience to visitors wishing to use the walk between Robinson Road and the New Garden plateau.

3. Another injurious influence, wind, has a much less destructive power on plants and trees in the gardens than it had a few years ago when the trees were smaller. In 1874 the great typhoon worked enormous damage in the gardens, scarcely a tree or shrub having escaped great injuries, an immense number having been totally destroyed. On October 14th of the year under notice (1881) we experienced the outside of a typhoon which, although it blew with great violence, did comparatively but little damage in the gardens. The reason of the immunity from such damages as were experienced in former years is the increased size and number of the trees and shrubs, and the consequent shelter which they afford to each other.

4. The gardens have been frequented by visitors much the same as in previous years, but, I think, the number of children with amahs daily using the gardens for recreation is considerably increasing.

5. The work alluded to in paragraph No. 2 of the report for 1880, viz., the transplanting and re-arrangement of trees and shrubs in the gardens has been continued and considerable improvements were effected, and some more space secured thereby. Owing to the very limited space available for further planting, it will be necessary to avoid planting large growing trees, and to confine ourselves more to select small sized trees and shrubs. To accomodate the large number of Chinese plants which should, and I hope will, be introduced from year to year, space must be reserved for their reception.

in

way

6. The very small corner, used as a garden nursery and place for growing choice plants and pot plants for garden and public decorative purposes, is far too limited for the proper developement of these objects, to say nothing of the more extended use of this establishment in providing plants for distribution to the public, a service which, if better means for carrying it out could be secured, would be duly appreciated by those who would be glad of the opportunity to procure both old and new introductions. It might perhaps be advisable to make arrangements for plants being distributed, as many other similar institutions, on payment of a small fee to cover cost of propagation &c., to those who may be anxious to obtain plants, but who, in consequence of their having nothing in the of plants or seeds to offer in exchange, hesitate to apply for plants. We have been obliged to use the garden nursery for the propagation, for afforestation services, of trees which, in consequence of their requiring more constant and close care and supervision than could be given them in distant nurseries, could not be sufficiently well attended to elsewhere. The work of rearing valuable and select kinds of trees is constantly increasing to meet planting requirements, and in consequence of the gardens being entirely surrounded by private property no extension is possible except in that portion between the New Garden plateau on the north, Robinson Road on the south, and Albany Road on the east, a piece of land which was set apart for the New Garden extensions by the Government about eleven years ago, and which has since been reserved for garden purposes, but which, for want of funds, has not been brought into order. This piece of ground is so greatly needed for pressing demands, and the cost of bringing it into order would be so small, that I could not too strongly urge its speedy completion.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 25TH MARCH, 1882.

7. The following is a list of plants which flowered for the first time in these gardens:-

Anthurium Schertzerianum.

Pelargonium fragrans. Quercus fissa.

Spiraea callosa. Symplocos congesta. Stereospermum sinicum. Schizocapsa plantaginea. Tristanea conferta. Wormia alata. Weigela rosea.

325

8. The usual interchanges of plants and seeds with other establishments and individuals have been conducted. The facilities, however, for carrying on the exchanges with Queensland have been considerably reduced owing to the discontinuance of the E. A. S. S. Company's steamers running so regularly to Brisbane as they did; and, also, to some changes in the administration of the Queensland establishments. To the agents of the Eastern & Australian Steam-ship Company we have for several years been much indebted for the favours, so kindly and freely given, of carrying consignments of plants and seeds free of freight to and from the Australian Colonies and Singapore.

9. During the past year the receipts have been 1,373 living plants, 148 packets, boxes, and bags: of seeds, from 41 contributors, included in 76 consignments.

10. The plants sent out during the year were 868, and of packets, and bags of seeds the number was 82 to 29 recipients, included in 48 consignments.

11. The following is the list of contributors to the gardens:-

12. Thanks are specially due to the Honourable F. B. JOHNSON for his great kindness in procuring, from different parts of China and Formosa, plants and seeds of various kinds which were wanted for the gardens.

13. Although the island of Hongkong has been so much hunted over by botanists and collectors, scarcely a year passes without discoveries of entirely new plants being made, or of known plants being discovered for the first time in Hongkong. During the past year several new plants from Hongkong have been added to the enormous list of known and described plants.

14. While mentioning new plants, I may state that specimens of these are always carefully collected, dried, and preserved in the herbarium cabinets in the gardens' office; an 1, also, that now that the dried collections of plants have been arranged and docketed, they are available for reference and study to those who may require to use them for those purposes.

326

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 25TH MARCH, 1882.

15. As it is very desirable to possess in this Colony as complete as possible a collection of dried Chinese plants, I would take this opportunity of stating that well dried specimens of Chinese plants would always be very acceptable, and that they would be placed in the cabinets for public use, if any one having duplicate plants, or opportunities to collect plants, would kindly contribute them to this office.

16. In consequence of the low temperature and very dry atmosphere of our cool season, and of heavy falls of rain and frequent storms of the hot season, a great number of beautiful but somewhat tender plants, such as orchids, ferns, and other small growing plants, cannot be successfully grown, except a very limited number which are cultivated in the small glass house and pits which were put up several years ago. These structures, which were built for experimental purposes, have fulfilled so well the purpose for which they were intended, that the public generally, judging from expressions of their opinion continually being made, would be glad to see proper structures, worthy of the Colony, provided for the cultivation of a much larger collection of beautiful and interesting plants than can yet be accommodated.

18. The total number-777,914-of trees planted shows an increase of 566,899 over the previous year's work, i.e., the number has been nearly quadrupled. This year we expect to make an increase of about a quarter of a million over those planted last year, which will make a total for the season of 1882 of over a million additional trees for the Colony.

19. As will be seen from the above table, many kinds of trees beside the Chinese Pine have been planted. Some of them are put out for experiment-and I have great hopes that they will succeed,- but others are of indigenous trees which are certain to do well. A few of them, as the Japanese Wax Tree, the Tallow Tree and the Pride of India, will probably furnish valuable products, as they do in China and Japan, such as wax, vegetable tallow, and timber, besides the great addition of diversity of form and colour which they will make to the beauties of the future sylvan scenery.

""

20. Roadside planting outside of the town has been extended on both the Pokfoolum and Shau- kiwan Roads. About a mile of the former, and a little less than a mile of the Shaukiwan Road, was planted. The trees used were bamboos and "banians." Many of the former were purchased from Chinese on the mainland. The "banians were transplanted from the Botanic Gardens, Bowrington Plantation, and other places where they were no longer required. The dimensions of these trees ranged from 7 feet 2 inches down to about 1 foot 6 inches in circumference, at three feet from the ground; in height, after about half the length of the branches had been lopped, from 25 feet, down- wards to 10 feet; and their ages were from about 25 years down to 10 years. A few of these trees were much damaged by the large larvae of a species of Longicornes. Many kinds of trees here during the weakened condition of their health, consequent on removal, are very subject to attacks from species of Longicornes. The eggs of the Longicornes are deposited in the bark, and when they hatch the larvae subsist by consuming the inner portions of the bark, thus causing much injury to, and some- times the destruction of the tree.

--

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 25TH MARCH, 1882.

327

21. By the typhoon of the 14th October 20 trees in the streets and roads were blown down, most of which, however, were replanted in their old positions or conveyed to, and planted in, more suitable sites.

22. Ten nurseries in Hongkong and Kaulung have been maintained. The trees-small seed- lings-in two of these, which are situated at considerable altitudes-900 to 1,100 feet-suffered severely in the October typhoon. Although, for the sake of saving labour in the transport of trees, it would be very desirable to maintain nurseries high up on the hills, in the middle or vicinity of intended planting grounds, the damage done by this typhoon to the seedlings points to the inadvisability of risking quantities of tender seedlings in nurseries in high and exposed positions.

23. In the beginning of the year Forest Guards were appointed to protect trees and shrubs from the depredations to which they were constantly subject, and also to control the goat-keepers in regard to the lands used for grazing purposes. For the protection of the young trees it was found necessary to interdict certain lands for grazing purposes and grass cutting, and to allot lands where goats and cattle might be permitted, and where grass might be cut. The result of the appointments has been very satisfactory. Tree cutting has been very much checked, and the cutting of large pine trees, which had gone on very much, has been almost entirely stopped, except at Little Hongkong, where there have been two or three instances of a number of good sized trees being felled and carried away. The villagers report that the cutting was done by night by boat people who landed at Deep Water Bay. I have much reason for believing, however, that the villagers themselves are the culprits, and to put a stop to this tree cutting it may be necessary to adopt more stringent measures.

24. Hill fires have occurred in several places. In the vicinity of the Chinese Cemetery on Mt. Davis the grass was set fire to twice-by worshippers at the Cemetery. I believe in the first instance the fire destroyed about 5,000 healthy trees which had been planted only a few months, and in the second case about 600 trees were burnt.

NAVAL CADETS.

The Right Honourable The Earl of Kimberley to Governor Sir John Pope Hennessy, K.C.M.G. Circular.

DOWNING STREET,

20th January, 1882

SIR,-I have the honour to transmit to you for information in the Colony under your Government, copies of revised Regulations respecting the examination and entry of Naval Cadets, which will come into force for the examination taking place in June next.

I have been requested by the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty to call attention to the alteration made in Paragraph 9, whereby Colonial Cadets will in future be required to obtain five-tenths of the marks in arithmetic, instead of four-tenths as heretofore.

The Officer Administering the Government of

HONGKONG.

21. By the typhoon of the 14th October 20 trees in the streets and roads were blown down, most of which, however, were replanted in their old positions or conveyed to, and planted in, more suitable sites.

22. Ten nurseries in Hongkong and Kaulung have been maintained. The trees-small seed- lings-in two of these, which are situated at considerable altitudes-900 to 1,100 feet-suffered severely in the October typhoon. Although, for the sake of saving labour in the transport of trees, it would be very desirable to maintain nurseries high up on the hills, in the middle or vicinity of intended planting grounds, the damage done by this typhoon to the seedlings points to the inadvisability of risking quantities of tender seedlings in nurseries in high and exposed positions.

23. In the beginning of the year Forest Guards were appointed to protect trees and shrubs from the depredations to which they were constantly subject, and also to control the goat-keepers in regard to the lands used for grazing purposes. For the protection of the young trees it was found necessary to interdict certain lands for grazing purposes and grass cutting, and to allot lands where goats and cattle might be permitted, and where grass might be cut. The result of the appointments has been very satisfactory. Tree cutting has been very much checked, and the cutting of large pine trees, which had gone on very much, has been almost entirely stopped, except at Little Hongkong, where there have been two or three instances of a number of good sized trees being felled and carried away.

Four Cadetships given annually to sons of gentlemen in the Colonies, on the recommendation of

the Secretary of State for the Colonies.

Service Cadetships, the total number of which is not to exceed five in any one year. Service Cadets will be selected by the Board of Admiralty from the sons of officers of the Army, Navy, or Marines who have been killed in action, or who have been lost at sea on active service, or killed on duty, or who have died of wounds received in action or injuries received on duty within six months from the date of such action or injury.

Applications for Service Cadetships should be addressed to the Military Secretary, Horse Guards, if the candidate is the son of an officer of the Army; to the Secretary of the Admiralty, if the candidate is the son of an officer of the Navy or Marines, and to the Military Secretary, India Office, if the candidate is the son of an officer of the Indian Army.

Colonial and Service Cadets will be entered on passing the test examination specified in paragraph 8, and will in all other respects be subject to these Regulations.

The examination of candidates nominated to compete, and also of Service Cadets, will be conduct- ed by the Civil Service Commissioners. A fee of ten shillings will be required from each candidate.

2. Except in special circumstances not more than one third of the number of candidates actually presenting themselves for examination at the Royal Naval College will be entered.

3. Nominations for Naval Cadetships will take place half-yearly as soon as convenient after the report of the last examination has been received.

4. Examinations of the young gentlemen who have obtained nominations will be held at the Royal Naval College, Greenwich, commencing on the second Wednesday in June and the last Wednes- day in November in each year, and the appointments will date from the 15th July and 15th January following respectively.

5. No candidate will be eligible for examination in June whose age will not be within the following limits on the 15th July following, viz., not less than twelve nor more than thirteen and a half years of age, nor in November whose age will not be within those limits on the 15th January following.

6. Every candidate must be in good health, and free from any physical defect of body, impediment of speech, defect of sight or hearing, and also from any predisposition to constitutional or hereditary disease or weakness of any kind, and in all respects well developed and active in proportion to his age. Before being examined at he Royal Naval College, Greenwich, he will be required to pass the medical examination according to the prescribed regulations, and must have been found physically fit for the Navy; rejection at such examination will finally exclude him from the Navy.

7. The candidate will be required to produce (1) a certificate of the date of his birth,* or a declaration thereof made before a magistrate; (2) a certificate of good conduct from the masters of the school or schools at which he may have been educated during the two previous years, or, if educated at home, from his tutor or the clergyman of the parish in which he resides; and (3) a certificate of good health.

8. The candidates will be tested by examination in the following subjects:

5

9. Colonial and Service Cadets will be appointed on passing the test examination; they must, however, obtain 660 marks in the aggregate, as well as ths in arithmetic and ths in each of the other subjects.

10. A candidate, who passes the test examination, but does not succeed in the competition, will be entitled to compete at the next examination, provided he is within the regulations as to limits of age at that time. No candidate will be allowed to compete more than twice. A candidate who fails to pass the test will not be entitled to another trial, but he will be allowed to compete at the next examination if he receives a fresh nomination and is still within the limits of age.

11. A candidate who, owing to illness, fails to appear at the examination for which he has obtained his nomination, may receive a second nomination, provided he is still within the limits of age.

·

12. For all Cadets entered under these regulations, the payment will be at the rate of £70 per annum for the period in the Britannia, to be paid half-yearly in advance to the Accountant General of the Navy. But the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty reserve the power of selecting, fron among the cadets entered at each half-yearly examination, a number, not to exceed 10, being sons of Oficers of the Navy, Army, or Marines, or of Civil Officers under the Board of Admiralty, with respect to whom the annual payment will be £40 only. In this selection their Lordships will have regard solely to the pecuniary circumstances of the Cadets.

13. The period of training on board the Britannia will be four terms; there will be two terms in each year.

The first term of each year will be from February to July, the second from September to December.

The vacations will be five weeks at Christmas, two weeks at Easter, and six weeks at Midsummer.

14. There will be examinations in Seamanship and Study at the end of each term.

Cadets who pass unsatisfactory examinations, or who are reported for unsatisfactory conduct, will be "warned," and they will be liable to be discharged at the end of the following or any subsequent term, should they again be reported as failing to attain the proper number of marks at the examinations, or for unsatisfactory conduct.

If a Cadet is reported for unsatisfactory conduct during his final term, he will be discharged without being allowed to present himself at the examination for passing out of the Britannia.

Any Cadet who shall appear to their Lordships for any reason to be unfit for the Service, will be removed from the Britannia.

15. It is to be distinctly undersood that the period of training on board the Britannia is a time of probation, and the parent or guardian of every Cadet will be required to sign a declaration (on the admission of the Cadet to the Britannia) to the effect that he shall be immediately withdrawn on the receipt of an official intimation of his being considered unfit for the Navy.

16. Cadets will, on passing out of the Britannia, rank according to the amount of sea time they obtain at their final examination, and those who obtain equal amounts of sea time will rank in the order of merit in which they pass out of the Britannia.

17. The parent or guardian of every Cadet will be required to provide outfit under the regulations in force.

18. Pay and pocket money will not be allowed by Government to Cadets entered in and after June 1881.

By Command of their Lordships,

E. N. SWAINSON.

Le Comité d'Exécution s'étant adressé au Gouvernement du Roi pour fixer l'attention du Gouvernement de Sa Majesté Britannique sur cette Exposition, je me trouve en conséquence chargé d'inviter le Gouvernement de Sa Majesté Britannique à prendre part à cette Exposition.

Malgré qu'elle n'aura lieu qu'en 1883, il est néanmoins désirable que le Comité d'Exécution sache le plus tôt possible avec quelles personnes assignées par le Gouvernement de Sa Majesté Britannique il pourra se mettre en rapport, et je me trouve donc également chargé d'appuyer le désir qu'une nomination éventuelle de délégués puisse se faire dans le plus bref délai possible.

Le Conseil Municipal de la ville d'Amsterdam ayant en outre formulé la condition que la cession temporaire des terrains de l'Exposition n'aurait lieu que six au moins deux Grandes Puissances Coloniales accepteraient avant le 1er Octobre prochain de prêter leur concours à cette Exposition, il est de la plus haute importance que la décision favorable du Gouvernement de Sa Majesté Britannique puisse lui être communiquée avant la date susdite.

THE HAGUE,

November 28th, 1881.

MY LORD,-With reference to your Lordship's despatch No. 45, Commercial, of the 14th instant, inquiring of me what Governments had accepted the invitation to take part in the Exhibition which it is proposed to hold at Amsterdam in 1883, I have the honour to state that Mr. Rochussen informed me this afternoon that he believed that the French, Italian, and United States' Governments had accepted, and that the Spanish Government had accepted for the Spanish Colonies.

No answer appears to have been received as yet from the Portuguese Government.

Mr. Rochussen reminded me that the German Government had declined to take part in the Paris and other Exhibitions, and that therefore their unwillingness to take part in the one to be held at Amsterdam was not to be wondered at.

His Excellency took the opportunity to tell me that the Netherlands' Government would be very grateful for any assistance which Her Majesty's Government might be disposed to render, with a view to contribute to the success of the above Exhibition, and expressed his earnest hope that both Great Britain and her Colonies would be well represented at it.

In the course of our conversation Mr. Rochussen observed, that it was perhaps unfortunate that so prominent a position had been given to the term Colonial in the description given in the programme of the Exhibition, as foreign nations had thereby been led erroneously to suppose that the Exhibition was to be rather of a Colonial than of a general character.

KINGDOM OF THE NETHERLANDS.-CITY OF AMSTERDAM.

INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION OF COLONIAL OBJECTS, AND OF GENERAL EXPORTATION.

May-1883-October.

GENERAL PROGRAMME.

The brilliant success achieved by the city of Amsterdam in obtaining a direct road of communication to the North Sea, and by which she has maintained her ancient reputation of being the first commercial city in the Kingdom, has given her a fresh stimulus to show renewed signs of life and energy in every department of human knowledge. A Committee, selected from the most influential men of the town, purpose to organize an International Exhibition of Colonial Objects and of General Exportation, for the year 1883.

One of the principal objects of this Exhibition will be to promote the interests of the Dutch Colonies as well as those of the Colonies of other nations, who, it is confidently expected, will gladly support and patronize this work.

London, Paris, Vienna and other important places, in the latter part of the present century, have successively collected at their Exhibitions the products of Trade and Industry, of Agriculture and Horticulture, of Science and Art, in a manner, calculated to raise the admiration of the whole world.

Of late years the great cities of the New World: Philadelphia, Sydney and Melbourne have successfully followed their example.

350

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 1ST APRIL, 1882.

As one of the oldest Colonial Powers, Holland would claim the privilege and the honour of taking the initiative in organizing a concours between the various colonizing peoples, such as has never yet taken place.

The Committee, selected for the execution of this project is convinced that an Exhibition of this kind, whilst spreading a new light on the Colonies in general, cannot fail to be of immense interest.

Much as has been done for stimulating the spirit of enterprise, and securing the success of fresh commercial designs, there still remains a great deal to achieve in propagating a vaster knowledge of those countries, whose inexhaustible wealth of the soil only wants knowledge and capital, those powerful levers of our age, in order to contribute most thoroughly to the universal prosperity.

There is perhaps no fitter medium for the spreading of more knowledge concerning Colonies than a Colonial Exhibition, where, with the aid of History and Science, is shown what those Colonies were and what they actually are.

The projected Exhibition will be subdivided into five great Departments :

1st. Colonial Exhibition.

2nd General Export-Exhibition.

3rd. Retrospective Exhibition of Fine Arts and Arts applied to Industry. 4th. Special Exhibitions.

5th

Scientific Lectures and Meetings.

ART. 1. The Colonial Department forms the main basis of the Exhibition.

A comparative inquiry into the various systems of Colonization, of tropical Agriculture, of the Exploitation of the treasures of the soil, promises to be a useful and original labour, worthy of the general interest.

This Exhibition should not be limited to a mere show of materials and products, but must also offer an opportunity of comparing the manners and customs of the natives of the Transatlantic regions. Public Works and Means of conveyance, as being the foundations of prosperity and civilization should from part of the Exhibition.

It is likewise thought desirable to represent specimens from the fauna and flora of the Colonies, as images of the luxuriant nature of the tropical countries.

Finally the Army and Navy, those bulwarks of liberty, should not be wanting.

ART. 2. The second Department will contain all that belongs or relates to the General Export Trade. A vast space will be set apart for Industry as applied to the transformation of matter, whilst Industry and Commerce will find ample opportunity for honest competition.

ART. 3. In the third Department will be exhibited specimens of Art from the remotest times, as an instructive picture of the ideas that have existed, with regard to them, among the original peoples and how these ideas have been developed under the influence of civilization.

A comparative inquiry into the fine arts of different periods and nations seems highly interesting. ART. 4. The object of the fourth Department is that of Temporary Exhibitions. These will be for the greater part of a national character, so as to show the native products of Agriculture and Industry and as tending to promote the general interest.

ART. 5.

The fifth Department is the intellectual part of the Exhibition. Scientific lectures and meetings will offer an opportunity to the men of science, those pioneers of civilization, to communicate their ideas on and discuss the interests of Trade and Industry, of Science and Art, International Law, Education, Hygiène, etc.-Colonial Economy, especially the relations between the mother country and colony, will occupy a first place in the list of interesting subjects of discussion.

The interests of mankind are universal, as the human genius is.

We venture to hope that the invitation which the Dutch Government will forward to the other European Powers, for a hearty support of the Colonial Exhibition of Amsterdam, will meet with a favorable reception, so that by a general cooperation a complete success may be secured.

Even the mightiest nations will profit by occasionally entering into intellectual contests with their rivals, be it only for the purpose of showing that power and wealth, supported by moral and intellectual

will ever continue to deserve the esteem of the whole civilised world.

energy,

Extending the commercial operations, encouraging industry, raising the moral force of nations, strengthening the bond of union among the peoples, those will be the salutary fruits of so many united efforts, both for the colonies and the mother country.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION. —No. 164.

The following Notices to Mariners are published for general information.

By Command,

FREDERICK STEWART,

Acting Colonial Secretary.

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 8th April, 1882.

NOTICE TO MARINERS.

The Commander of the Naval Division, directs the attention of Master Mariners, to the following note by Sub- Engineer Hydrographer, M. Favé :-

There has been some change in the banks situated at the entrance to the bay of Quinhone (on the Coast East of Annam). The high grounds of the bar have risen and moved towards the West, and the bank, situated at the point of Gia, has advanced one hundred metres toward the East.

At present, in order to cross the bar, it is necessary to bring the cocotrees at the extremity of the point Gia, (see Chart No. 3,530), to N. 31° E., by closing them well in with the point N. of the Massif I. Follow this tack until you have the Northern tangent at the point South to N. 60° E., when a big yellowish spot, which is situated near the battery at the extreme East of the little bay, begins to show itself.

Follow this line until you have crossed the bar.

There are at present, at middle high sea, about 5 metres 80 cent. with strong currents. These bearings are correct.

Government of South Australia.

5. The trade in sailing vessels (exclusive of Junks) has also increased, there having been 464 vessels and 253,819 tons arrived in 1881, as against 416 vessels and 219,466 tons arrived in 1880. Of this increase 15 vessels and 13,697 tons were under the British flag, and 33 vessels with 20,656 tons were under the flags of Nations not British.

6. There is an increase of 17,488 tons from the Australian Colonies, and there is a small decrease of tonnage to those Colonies. The excess of arrivals over departures is caused by vessels carrying Cargo from England to Australia, loading there with Coals for China, and returning to England with Chinese and Japanese produce. There is an increase (including Junks) of 190,351 tons from, and an increase of 161,178 tons to the Coast of China and Formosa. There is an increase of 44,945 tons from, and of 9,505 tons direct to Great Britain, but the actual tonnage to and from Great Britain cannot be ascertained, as the greater number of vessels proceeding there clear for, and enter here from Singapore, and in the absence of an Export and Import office it is impossible to distinguish between what tonnage is for, or what is from Great Britain, and what is for, or from the intermediate Ports. There is a decrease of 9,568 tons from Ports in Japan, and an increase of 21,773 tons to those Ports. There is a steady and increasing trade in European vessels and Junks between Hongkong, the Island of Hainan, and Ports in the Gulf of Tonquin, an increase of 15,322 tons having arrived from, and of 19,441 tons having cleared to those places.

Captains NAPIER and CARPENTER, R.N., in H. M. S. Magpie having completed their survey of the Coast of Hainan, and the Gulf of Tonquin, masters of vessels will find the navigation of the waters about the dangerous Sandbanks which almost block the approaches to Hainan, much facilitated, and Shipmasters cannot be too grateful to the Captains and Officers of the Magpie for their valuable and laborious services.

Siam shows an increase of 18,770 tons from, and of 12,185 tons to that Country. An increase of the trade between the Colony and the United States of America is also observable, 18,454 more tons having arrived from, and 8,915 more tons having cleared for those States than was the case in 1880.

JUNK TRADE.

7. 24,339 Junks and 1,680,025 tons arrived in the Colony in 1881, as against 23,920 Junks and 1,650,258 tons arrived in 1880, shewing an increase of 419 Junks and 29,767 tons. There is an increase of 46,436 tons in the trade with the Coast of China and Formosa, and a decrease of 16,669 tons with Macao.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 15TH APRIL, 1882.

EMIGRATION.

389

8. Emigration during the year has been largely on the increase, 20,300 Chinese having left this Port in 1881 in excess of the number leaving Hongkong the previous year.

It is a strange commentary on the recent Convention, entered into between the United States of America and China for the purpose of checking emigration, to find that 14,127 more Chinese have been introduced into those States than landed there in 1880, and Chinese are still going over in large numbers, for the purpose of constructing new Railroads. The Chinese on arrival get high wages and the protection of the law, and their condition in America is far superior to what they experience in their native country.

9. The Australian Governments have adopted a more practical means of putting a stop to the Immigration of Chinese into those Colonies, by laws which in their effect almost completely prohibit Chinaman from seeking his living on that Continent. How far this prohibition is in accordance with the existing Treaties with China, and the expediency of shutting out the most sober and industrious race in the world from a Continent wanting labourers, are not matters for discussion in this report.

10. The Northern Territory of South Australia still admits Chinese, but the inducement to go there does not seem to be very encouraging, as only 172 left for Port Darwin in 1881, while 2,268 left for that Port in 1880.

There is a large and increasing emigration to the Straits Settlements, there being an excess of 5,400 over the number leaving Hongkong the previous year. Employment is found for them, not alone in the Straits Settlements, but in the Malay States, and in the neighbouring Island of Sumatra. 11. The following tables will show the number of emigrants that have passed through this Office between the years 1872 and 1881, inclusive, together with the Countries to which they proceeded; also the number of Chinese returned to the Colony during the same period:-

MARINE COURTS, UNDER SECTION XIII OF ORDINANCE No. 8 of 1879.

15. The following Courts have been held during the year:

1. On the 14th May, 1881,-inquiry as to the stranding of the British Steam-ship Lorne, Official number 62,297 of Leith, on the right bank of the River Han near Peaked Rock, at the entrance to Swatow. The Master's (JOHN MCKECHNIE) Certificate of Competency was returned.

2. On the 23rd May, 1881,-inquiry as to the stranding of the British Steam-ship Hailoong, Official number 65,082 of Aberdeen, on the South point of the Island of Quemoy near the Port of Amoy. The Master's (WILLIAM YOUNG HUNTER) Certificate of Competency was suspended for six months.

3. On the 17th October, 1881,-inquiry as to the loss of the British barque Bolton Abbey, Official number 49,896 of Liverpool, on the South-east side of the Pratas Shoal. The Master's (JOHN WILLIAMS) Certificate of Competency was returned. 4. On the 24th October, 1881,-inquiry as to the loss of the British ship Geraldine Paget, Official number 63,572 of London, on the South-east side of the Pratas Shoal. The Master's (STEPHEN WILKINSON) Certificate of Competency was returned. In the case of the Bolton Abbey the members of the Court expressed themselves as follows:--

"The Court cannot too strongly express their opinion that the Pratas Shoal should be provided with lights. The Shoal was surveyed in 1858; and, being in the track "of the numerous ships navigating the China Sea, has been a fruitful source of disaster, as is evidenced by the many vessels wrecked on this highly dangerous "and as yet unmarked Shoal."

(6

The members of the Court of enquiry into the case of the Geraldine Paget expressed themselves as follows:-

"We repeat the opinion given at the recent Marine Court of enquiry that the Pratas

Shoal should" be efficiently lit up."

SEAMEN.

year 1881.

16. 6,940 Seamen of all nationalities were shipped, and 7,281 were discharged in the The excess of discharges over men shipped is caused by the former leaving the Colony without notifying their departure.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 15TH APRIL, 1882.

GENERAL.

391

17. It may not be out of place in reporting on the Marine of the Colony to call attention to what is, and has long since been admitted as a great want, a Time Ball for the benefit of Shipmasters.

As there is some delay in building the contemplated Observatory at Kowloon, I take the oppor- tunity of suggesting that the Colonial Government should make an application to the Naval Authorities with a view to a Ball being dropped daily at one o'clock on board H. M. S. Victor Emanuel. Ships are now so short a time in Port that the Captains are unable to regulate their Chronometers in the old fashion of landing them to be rated by Messrs. FALCONER, NOBLE, and others. I would submit that, if Vice-Admiral WILLES, C.B., the Commander-in-Chief, consents to the arrangement, the Officer having charge of this duty be paid for his responsibility out of the Light Dues, which are ample to meet this charge.

FEES.

18. The fees collected by this Department during the year were as follows:-

Emigration fees, under Ordinance No. 5 of 1874, No. 5 of 1876, and No. 11

It will be seen from the above return that, although Chinese Junks pay for licences, &c., under Section 38, they are exempt from the payment of light dues under Section 34, and that the difference was, for the last year, $915.64 in their favour.

BREAKWATER.

19. The construction of the Breakwater for the Harbour of Refuge is progressing, but to make this Refuge complete it will be necessary to dredge a considerable portion of the inclosed space. A good dredging machine, if the Colony possessed one, would always find employment, as the foreshore is constantly silting up, forming an embankment along the Praya, which, at low water, not only prevents cargo and other boats from getting close inshore to discharge and load, but the filth deposited by the drains creates such a stench, especially in the summer months, that it only requires one's hours to be spent as mine are, in an Office on the Praya, fully to appreciate the evil.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 15TH APRIL, 1882.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.---No. 180.

The following Hydrographic Notice, is published for general information.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 15th April, 1882.

FREDERICK STEWART,

Acting Colonial Secretary.

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

HYDROGRAPHIC NOTICE.

[ No. 2.]

BAY OF BENGAL.

NOTICE No. 12.

COAST OF ORISSA.

FALSE POINT ANCHORAGE,

The following directions for False point harbour, resulting from a survey by Navigating-Lieutenant G. C. Hammond, R.N., commanding the Indian Government surveying vessel Constance, 1876, are now republished with corrections by Commander A. D. Talyor, Superintendent Marine Survey of India, 1880, and supersede Hydrographic Notice No. 5 of 1877.*

[All bearings are Magnetic. Variation 2° 30′ Easterly in 1881.]

FALSE POINT LIGHTHOUSE, on low wooded ground, is a granite masonry tower of reddish-brown colour, with a large white star painted on it, facing eastward, and exhibits at 129 feet above the level of high water, a fixed white light visible from seaward between the bearings from N.E. 4 N., through north and west, to S.S.W., and can be seen from a distance of 19 miles.

In the early morning, during the months of January and February and March, fog banks occasionally rise over the land, which sometimes cause the light to disappear as if suddenly extinguished, although the weather at sea may be clear.

The outer coast is formed by a tongue of land extending from False point lighthouse in a north-east direction to a distance of 3 miles, meeting Dowdeswell island (the piece of land named Nurrea banga Nassee, but not always an island), and thence curves to the northward, terminating at Reddie point, which bears N. by E. E. 65 miles from the lighthouse. The principal feature of this coast and of Dowdeswell island, which protects the anchorage, is the range of small sand hillocks, averaging in height from 6 to 8 feet above high water, and covered with grass and scrub.

Hookey Tollah, on the inner shore of Dowdeswell island, is the name given to the Custom House officers and harbour master's location, where there is now a good traveller's bungalow and a refuge-house, the latter being the highest in the locality. A conspicuous flagstaff stands about 100 yards westward of it, on the high water line near the jetty; cocoa nut trees have been planted among the houses and are growing fast.

The inner shore of the bay, extending from False point lighthouse to Bacood creek, embracing what was formerly known as Plowden island, past the entrance to Jumboo river and towards Temple point, is principally formed of mangrove. Temple point is a projecting point of trees, which now (1880) bears W. by S. S., and is 3 miles from Reddie point. From Temple point to the South Broni river the land is low, covered with grass and scrub, with occasional patches of mangrove swamp, fringed with sand, which forms the high-water line. Further northward the sand hills become more elevated and At the distance of 14 miles the mouth of the North Broni river or creek forms a conspicuous gap between high sand hills. N.E. by N. of Reddie head the sand hill of Sátbaia (with a solitary clump of trees) forms a good land mark, in case of a vessel getting too near the land when southward of the Palmyras shoals.

Beacons and conspicuous marks. On the north part of Dowdeswell island is a wooden tripod, † surmounted by a cage, 23 feet in height, situate 63 miles N.N.E. from False point lighthouse. But, as the sandy point extends itself in a N.N.W. direction at the rate of 70 or 80 yards every year, other beacous (single poles with distinctive marks at the top) are erected to the north-westward of the tripod.

Three-quarters of a mile within Temple point, on the west shore of the bay, is a remarkable tree, the highest in its vicinity and known as Temple tree, with a pole projecting from its top, which bears from Dowdeswell Island tripod W. S.,

distant about 4 miles.

At the proposed site of the Jumboo location, which is three-quarters of a mile to the south-west of Temple tree, is a flagstaff, bearing W. by S., 43 miles from the tripod; the telegraph office is 200 yards southward of the flagstaff.

Marking the southern entrance point of the South Broni river, is an upright spar with topmast and black cage, situate N.W. W., 4 miles from Dowdeswell tripod, and about 3 miles N. by E. & E. from Temple tree.

The only mark of importance on the southern shore is Plowden beacon, on the north side of Plowden point, consisting of a pole and cage, painted white, and bearing from Dowdeswell tripod S.S.W. W., distant 25 miles.

Buoys.-Fairway buoy, painted in black and white horizontal stripes, with staff and cage, lies in 33 fathoms at low- water spring tides, with False point lighthouse bearing S. by W. W.; Temple tree W. by S. & S., and Dowdeswell tripod S.S.E. E.

*See Admiralty charts :-False point anchorage, No. 755; The Sandheads, No. 814, False point to Matlah river; and Cocanada to Bassein river. No. 829. Also Hydrographic notice No. 5 of 1877 (hereby superseded), and No. 12 of 1880.

It is proposed to exhibit a small harbour light from a wooden structure at the extremity of Reddie point, N.N.W. of the tripod.

It is proposed to replace this beacon by a better one placed about 100 yards further westward.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 15TH APRIL, 1882.

411

Outer western buoy, a black can buoy, lies in 15 feet, N.W. by W. W., 7 cables from the tripod, and indicates the western side of the Fairway channel.

A red spire buoy with staff, lies close to Reddie point in 20 feet, 6 cables N. W. N. from the tripod, and marks the eastern side of the channel.

A small red nun buoy, about 1 cables to the southward of the red spire buoy, marks the western extreme of shoal water off Reddie head.

Four buoys denote the boundary of the inner anchorage; on the western limit are two black buoys, and on the eastern limit, two red buoys; each buoy lies in about 12 feet at low-water.

Anchorages.-The outer anchorage, for vessels exceeding 18 feet draught and the most convenient for vessels making a short stay, is off the north point of Dowdeswell island in 4 fathoms at low-water, mud bottom, with the tripod bearing S.S.E. E., and Temple tree about W. by S. S. This position is outside the tide-rip which is caused by the wind along the coast meeting the freshets from the numerous creeks in the bay, during the rainy season.

From the inner anchorage, 18 feet, green mud, the tripod bears E.S.E. and Hookey Tollah flagstaff S. by E. E., distant 1 miles. At 14 miles from this position in the direction of the lighthouse is a depth of 2 fathoms.

Tides. It is high-water, full and change, at the inner anchorage off Hookey Tollah at 9 h. 15 m.; ordinary springs rise 7 feet, neaps 4 feet. The range of tide, however, is much affected by the fresh water out of the numerous creeks, and also by the prevailing winds; the highest tides occur during the north-east monsoon, the lowest tides in the month of May. The tidal streams within the harbour set fairly through the several channels, and at springs average a velocity of two knots an hour.

After heavy rains, when the freshets come down Bacood and Jumboo rivers, the ebb stream, which runs out round Reddie head and past the red spire buoy sometimes attains a rate of 4 or 5 knots an hour.

At half a mile outside and eastward of Reddie point, the flood stream sets to the north; at the Fairway buoy to the north-west whilst midway between the buoy and Reddie point, it sets to W. S. W. Great attention, therefore, is necessary in entering the port on a flood tide.

In the offing the flood sets to north-east, the ebb to south-west, at a rate of about one knot per hour; but the velocity is much influenced by the prevailing wind, so that the flood stream (augmented by the current) in the south-west monsoon attains sometimes a rate of 4 knots.

Supplies, Trade.-Inferior water can be procured at Hookey Tollah, free of expense, by using the vessels' boats, and good water at Marsaghai, situated about 30 miles up Bacood creek. Firewood is pentiful and cheap.

Provisions are scarce and expensive; sheep and vegetables can be obtained from Cuttack, and from villages within a radius of 20 miles; but it is better to obtain all provisions and live-stock from Calcutta by means of the weekly British India steamers.

False point is the principal port of Cuttack and the Orissa district; the imports are chiefly Birmingham and Man- chester goods; exports, rice, and various seeds.

Ballast must be discharged outside the limits of the port.

DIRECTIONS.-Vessels from the southward, bound to False point outer anchorage in the south-west monsoon, on approaching the lighthouse, should not shoal into less than 10 fathoms. When the lighthouse bears N.W. distant 44 miles, in soundings of 10 fathoms, olive mud bottom, alter course to N.N.E. for about 7 miles, or until the tripod on Dowdeswell island bears N.W. W. Thence a N.W. by N. course for about 3 miles will place a vessel in about 7 fathoms, mud, one mile off shore, with Dowdeswell tripod bearing southward of West. Haul in gradually until Temple tree, the Jumboo location buildings and flagstaff, on the west shore of the bay, are well open to the northward of Dowdeswell island and anchor as convenient.

If proceeding to the inner anchorage, pass westward of the red spire buoy, off Reddie point (taking care to guard against an eddy, extending from the pitch of the point to the 3-fathom line), and steer up the harbour with the west extreme of Plowden island trees, and False point lighthouse in line, bearing S. by W. W., to the required anchorage.

It should be observed that with a strong flood-stream (which will reveal itself by drifting a vessel rapidly to the northward), it will be found best to steer in on a southerly course, bringing the vessel's head through the S.E. quadrant, to east and north-eastward, so as to breast the tide before anchoring. Instances have occurred of steam vessels steering in towards Reddie point, and attempting to turn to starboard, or through south-west and north-west, on the flood-tide; thus they were rapidly swept across (see tides, page 3) the channel to the westward, and grounded in the shoal water extending from Temple point.

From abreast Hookey Tollah, boat channels, winding through mud-banks and partially buoyed, lead to the Bacood and Jumboo creeks. There is also a channel, available for boats, through mud flats and mangrove, leading to False point lighthouse, the banks on either side being marked by bamboos.

The channel to Jumboo is the deepest, and at high-water is navigable for vessels of 10 feet draught. The Bacood channel, although shallower than the Jumboo, is at present the highway to Cuttack. In navigating these channels, it is recommended that the services of a local pilot should be obtained, as they alter from time to time, consequent on the large quantities of detritus and silt brought down in solution from the upper portion of the Mahanuddy, necessitating frequent changes in the position of the bouys and bamboos which denote the fairway.

COAST OF SIAM.-TAKUAPAH (or KOPAH) INLET.

Commander Taylor also supplies the following corrections to Hydrographic Notice No. 12 of 1880, as resulting from a revised notice issued by the Government of India, 1880.

PAK KRUEN (Bangri of Horsburgh). Page 11, for paragraph 4, substitute the following paragraph:-

Entering the river from seaward, the course in is E.S.E. between the sandbanks, or with the low casuarina tree point in line with the first south notch of River Hill. This channel is difficult (as the entrance between the sandbanks cannot well be seen), and it should not be attempted without local knowledge of the place. In the south-west monsoon there is generally a heavy swell on the bar, and the northern entrance is then much to be preferred.

Page 12, for paragraph 1, substitute the following:-

Pak Koh,* about 4 miles S.S.E. from Koh Gah, is the most southern of the three entrances to Takuapah river; it is narrow and shallow with exception of the western entrance, where there is a passage in between sandbanks with from 2 to 3 fathoms at low-water for a mile or two. The land around is all low, and richly wooded; but there are numerous small creeks, and at high-water a large part of the country is flooded, making it little else than a mangrove swamp. During the fine season this entrance may be made use of with great advantage; but in the south-west monsoon the northern entrance is the only safe one.

Hydrographic Office, Admiralty, London, 31st January, 1882.

* Pak Cruen is the Bangri of Horsburgh, and not Pak Koh,

The Minutes of the last Meeting of Council held on the 1st March, 1882, are read.

The President puts the question that the Minutes be confirmed.

Mr. JOHNSON asks permission to make some observations on the Minutes of the 22nd February last, which were read and confirmed at the last meeting, at which he was not present, with reference to the remarks of His Excellency the Governor, on the Protest of the Honourable Member, dated the 13th February, and entered upon the Minutes of the 22nd February, 1882.

The President points out that the question before the Council is the confirmation of the Minutes. The Attorney General addresses the Council.

Deliberation ensues, and it is agreed that Mr. JOHNSON may make any remarks he wishes after the Minutes just read have been confirmed.

The Minutes are then confirmed.

Mr. JOHNSON then, by permission, proceeds to remark at length on the statement recorded by the Clerk of Councils on the Minutes of the 22nd February, 1882, in connection with the Honourable Member's Protest of the 13th February, to the effect that His Excellency the Governor ruled that the Honourable Member was out of order in endeavouring, as a question of privilege, to enter into a dis- cussion and quote a text book with reference to a ruling of the Chair on a former occasion some meet- ings ago, and that that statement as to his intention was not in accordance with facts.

The President remarks that the Clerk, in the Minutes of the 22nd February, simply says what the Governor said.

Mr. JOHNSON continues his address and concludes by adding that he wishes to have recorded, on the Minutes, his desire to correct any misapprehension that may arise out of the Minutes of the 22nd February, that on whatever grounds his motion may have been out of order, it was not ruled out of order on any intention on his part to quote a text book with reference to a ruling of the Chair on a former occasion some meetings ago, and proceeded to state what his intention was.

The Honourable W. M. DEANE, as Acting Colonial Secretary; Mr. S. BARFF, as Acting Colonial Treasurer.

His Excellency the Administrator moves that the following vote to the QUEEN, in connection with the recent attempt upon Her Majesty's life, be telegraphed to the Secretary of State :-

This Council desires to convey through Lord KIMBERLEY, the deep indignation and concern with which it has heard of the last cowardly attack that has been made against the life of the QUEEN, and expresses its heartfelt congratulations that Her Most Gracious Majesty, by the interposition of a Divine Providence, escaped unhurt.

Mr. RYRIE seconds the motion.

Mr. JOHNSON addresses the Council, and suggests the postponement of the transmission of the message, until the news should be confirmed.

By attending to the following directions, a depth of not less than 17 feet at low-water springs can now be carried through the Middle Channel.

From seaward cross the East Banks, with the leading lights in line, and when about half-way through the Channel, haul up gradually and open them to the northward, rounding the spit of the Venus Bank, with them open a distance of about three-quarters of the difference between their heights.

SOUTH PASSAGE, MORETON BAY.

The North Break having extended further to the S.E., vessels-when the state of the Bar will admit of their hauling with the sea abeam-can carry through this entrance a depth of 14 feet at low water, as follows:—

After crossing the outer edge of the Bar, with the leading beacons open to the northward from three to four times their own width, haul up S. W. and steer for the hill shown on the coast chart as 490 feet high. This, in line with the lowest part of ridge at the back of the beach, will lead clear of the spit off the North Break. When the spit is rounded, the beacons being open to the southward some ten times their own width, a course can be steered between the North and South Breaks.

A knoll, having only 7 feet upon it at low water, has now formed on the outer edge of the Bar, with the leading beacons in line.

With the Beacons open to the southward, from five to eight times their own width, and with Amity Point touching, and just open of the southeast end of Mount Petrie, a depth of from 11 to 12 feet will be found at low water.

POLICE.

There is a decrease in the number of Police, admitted to Hospital this year, of 90 as compared with the number of admissions last year; the decrease is most noticeable in the European and Chinese portions of the Force; the admissions of the former were 126 in 1880, as compared with 89 in 1881, the admissions of the Chinese were 243 in 1880, as compared with 198 in 1881. The Indian portion of the Force shew also a slight decrease in the admissions to Hospital, being 224 in 1880, as compared with 214 in 1881.

The number of deaths in the Force was 10 this year, as compared with 13 in 1880; of the 10 deaths only three took place in Hospital.

The number of sick is still high, and it is expected to continue so, as long as no improvement is made in the quarters provided for them, the Central Station, No. 3, 7 & 8 Stations and the Police Hulk being the most noteworthy for their crowded and unwholesome condition.

Aberdeen Station

has been better this year, there having been only 17 admissions to Hospital from this Station, as compared with 32 in 1880; this Station generally sends in fever cases of the worst type, but the improvements made seem to have had a good effect on the health of the men stationed there of late. I find also that the Police are not provided with water-proof coats, so that they are often wet through day after day in the rainy season, another reason for so much sickness amongst them.

TROOPS.

Sickness among the troops seems to be still on the increase, the admissions to Hospital in 1881 being 1,116 as compared with 1,075 in 1880.

The number of admissions to Hospital and deaths for the last nine years are shewn below.

I think that three things may have something to say for this increase, and those are the amount of undergrowth or jungle on the hill sides above the barracks on the south side of the Queen's Road, of which there seems to me far too much, and should, I think, be cleared away periodically; another is the fouling of the streams by the washermen, some of which are now little better than large open sewers; and as regards the barracks on the north side of the Queen's Road, the drainage surrounding them and opening into the sea on the Praya from which the most unbearable and unwholesome stenches proceed at low tide.

GOVERNMENT CIVIL HOSPITAL.

This Establishment still occupies both the old and the new Lock Hospitals. Though these buildings are far superior to those used in previous years for the purpose, they are by no means sufficient in accommodation or fitted for a purpose for which they were never designed. The plans sanctioned some four years ago by Sir MICHAEL HICKS-BEACH for the new Government Civil Hospital have not been carried out or anything been done towards it. Repairs and many things required have been put off time after time, the proposed plans for the new Establishment always being expected to be shortly proceeded with. As concerns the new Lock Hospital, instead of water closets earth closets were ordered without consulting the Medical Department, with a result that is both unpleasant and certainly prejudicial to the patients, there being no urinals either. It is not to be expected that a patient suffering and often in great pain should trouble himself about dry earth; it is impossible unless the staff already large is largely increased to keep men continually on the watch at these closets; the consequence is the dry earth system is so incompletely carried out as to become comparatively useless. The pans provided as urinals the patients never trouble to pick up, but use standing, and more often the drain trap of the bath room is used as a urinal; the consequence is that the floors and walls of the closets are always polluted with urine and the whole place becomes disgustingly offensive notwithstanding the frequent use of disinfectants. To keep these closets in anything like order, there ought to be a man looking after each of them night and day, and this would necessitate a staff of sixteen men alone to work these closets only. I pointed them out to Mr. CHADWICK, the late Sanitary Commissioner sent from Home, and he entirely agreed with me that such contrivances were most unsuitable for a Hospital. Sir MICHAEL HICKS-BEACH in his dispatch gave special directions concerning the construction of the Hospital water closets and latrines, but none of these have as yet been carried out. I regret not being able to coincide with Surgeon- Major MURRAY, the Acting Superintendent, that the dry earth closets have acted even "fairly well" for the reasons I have given above as well as for those he gives himself.

There is another matter to which I wish to call attention and that is the number of severe injuries in the way of contusions, fractures, and wounds admitted to the Hospital of late years, many of which come from aboard ship and are the result of injuries received while in a state of drunkenness, from falls from the rigging or down hatchways, or in drunken brawls in which any weapon that comes handy, the sailors sheath knife marlin spikes, &c., is used. The chief way liquor is obtained by seamen on

512

ard is from the Chinese bumboats and others, this has been the cause of much trouble to the Cap- tains of, and medical men in attendance on the vessels, who have brought the matter to my notice. Could not something more be done to prevent this illicit sale of liquor in the harbour? which is always of the worst possible kind.

The admissions to Hospital this year have been more numerous and are as follows, compared with last year.

This shews a startling increase in the number of destitutes, and of this class of patients the numbers have been increasing yearly. The Government scrvants are principally Gaol Officers whose quarters inside the Gaol and outside are very unsatisfactory. Outside they are obliged to live in similar houses to the Chinese, all the small houses that formerly existed, suitable for Europeans, having been absorbed in the mania for building Chinese houses for the purpose of selling them. Consequently it is impossible for men of this class to obtain decent habitation for themselves and their families.

The total number of admissions to Hospital was 1236 a larger number than usual as shewn in the following summary of the last nine years.

In 1877 there were 49 deaths to 950 admissions, this year, with 1236 admissions, the deaths were only 49. The year 1878, in which the greatest number were admitted in all the nine years viz. 1289, the deaths were only 50. This shows that the type of disease admitted to the Hospital is for the most part of a very mild character.

Table V shews the characters of diseases admitted to Hospital. Fevers, Bowel and Chest com- plaints and Venereal disease are the chief causes of admissions. There has been this year a larger number of cases than usual, of wounds from various causes, principally contused and incised.

Table VI shows the Rate of Mortality in the Government Civil Hospital for the past ten years and the past year compares very favourably with the previous years.

Table VII shews the admissions and deaths during each month of the year as usual, the summer months from June to October are credited with the largest number.

Table VIII shews the number of dead bodies brought to Hospital, there is a very large increase, the number being 144 as compared with 103 in 1880.

* These figures were by some mistake inaccurately given in the printed report for 1880 and are now corrected.

The paying patients exclusive of Police and seamen sent by the Harbour Master brought in $4,637.34 as compared with $3,441.93 in 1880. This class of patients have been yearly increasing.

This year since April, Surgeon BLENNERHASSETT and Surgeon Major MURRAY, A.M.D., have been Acting Superintendents during the absence on leave of the Superintendent. Surgeon Major MURRAY has prepared and sent in the usual report with his opinions on the working of the Establishment. I beg to call attention to his recommendation concerning the classing and pay of the Chinese Nurses in the Hospital, and I think, if it were carried out, it would be of great benefit to the working of this institution. As regards his remarks concerning the Quarters, Hospital space, &c., all these have been provided for in the proposed plans before mentioned as having been sanctioned by the Home Authorities, but how long it will be before they are carried out, I can form no idea, as the matter has now been under discussion more than thirteen years.

SMALL POX HOSPITAL.

Table IX shews the number of admissions and deaths during the year; there were seven admissions and three deaths, all in the first five months of the year. This Establishment is also under the Superintendent of the Government Civil Hospital. The admissions for the past nine years have been as follows:

The admissions from Small Pox only occur as a rule in the winter months; the past season from November 1881 to date no cases have been brought in.

VICTORIA GAOL.

This year there has been a greater number of prisoners admitted to Gaol than any year in the past nine, except 1873, as the following figures shew, but the daily average number of prisoners is far greater than in any of the previous years as the following figures also shew.

Notwithstanding this increase in the daily average number of prisoners, the amount of sickness among them has been somewhat smaller, 297 only having been admitted to Hospital, as compared with 316 in 1880, but still the number is very high, being more than double what it used to be; in 1873 it was only 148. The accommodation for the sick is very limited and in 1873 was decidedly insufficient.

Of the 297 admitted to Hospital, 51 were admitted as soon as sent into the Gaol, as is shewn in Table XII, A.

This is the only Public Establishment in which the dry earth system is of any service, and even here, owing to the nature of the building, it is very inefficiently carried out, for reasons that I gave in my last Annual Report, though every thing is done that can be done to make it of as much service as possible. The dry earth used, being only of decomposed granite, is very unsuitable for the purpose, is a very poor deodoriser and certainly has no disinfectant properties whatever. I was six years in charge of Gaols in India in which the dry earth system only was used, but the earth used was of the best possible kind, and the enormous space at command allowed it to be carried out with the greatest efficiency. I am quite aware of the value of the system in places for which it was designed; it has never been any where in force in crowded towns. In India or any where else. it is a very valuable

514

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 3RD JUNE, 1882.

system in its place, but in a crowded town, even if its use were possible, which it is not, it is of as much use as a bag of gold would be on a desert island. It is equally incompatible with efficiency in a three storied building composed of cells.

One Chinese prisoner only was flogged this year, and that was for an assault on the Superintendent with a crank handle with an iron chain wound round it.

There were only two deaths this year. One a European suffering from consumption died suddenly in his cell from hæmorrhage from the lungs; the other case was a Chinaman who came into Gaol in a half starved condition.

The complaints admitted to Hospital have been chiefly Bowel complaints, General Debility, Fevers, Abscess and Syphilis. The admissions to Hospital do not represent those that were under treatment; there are many old and debilitated prisoners who have been nothing more than beggars, whom it is impossible to get any work out of or to punish in any other way than by confinement and who are far better off in Gaol than they probably have been in all their lives before. I am afraid it is inostly so with the majority of the Chinese prisoners.

Table XII, B. gives a list of opium smokers consuming one mace and upwards daily, admitted to Gaol during the past year. In no case has any opium been allowed, and no treatment given unless they were suffering from some other complaint necessitating it; even then no opium was used in the treatment. The largest consumer was one who smoked 8 mace per diem. He weighed 86 lbs. on admission and 89 lbs. at the end of a month, (the weights were always taken without clothes,) and this man received no other treatment than the regular diet. I have come to the conclusion that opium smoking is a luxury of a very harmless description, and that the only trouble arising from its indulgence is a waste of money that should be applied to necessaries. Eight mace is equivalent to an ounce and twenty nine grains, a quantity of opium sufficient to poison a hundred men, smoked by one man in a day, and this he has been doing for twenty years; that is to say he has consumed in smoke in that time about £1,000, and for this indulgence he has to deny himself and his family many absolute necessaries. The list contains 35 opium smokers, and the amount smoked between them daily was 841 mace or $7 worth of opium. The result of my observations this year is only to confirm all I said on the subject of opium smoking in my report for 1880.

There has been much sickness amongst the Gaol Officials and this will continue, I fear, as long as they have such unwholesome quarters, but it is not only in the Gaol that this is the case, as I have observed before; they are compelled to live with their families in the same unwholesome style of building as a Chinaman, the gambling in Chinese house property having caused all the small houses formerly occupied by Europeans to be swept away, and as a consequence no one, getting sixty dollars a month or under, even if a single man, can now afford to live anywhere in Hongkong other than in a house built for Chinese, and this I consider is one of the great grievances resulting from the speculations in the past two years in land. Many of these houses remain unlet or only partially let, and numbers of them are occupied by Europeans who can get no other quarters. It is now becoming a difficulty for those Europeans who are well to do, to get houses except at the most exorbitant rents.

TEMPORARY LUNATIC ASYLUM.

This is still in the wretched dilapidated buildings that it has been for the last three years, and the lunatics have to be removed, in the event of any gale threatening, to the Police cells for safety as I described in my report for 1880.

This year there were ten admissions besides one remaining of those confined in 1880. Two of these were not properly to be classed as lunatics but were suffering from brain disease and were so noisy and violent that, there being no proper place for them in the Civil Hospital without causing disturbance and distress to other patients, they had to be removed here for treatment, and one other case was a violent patient suffering from Mania á Potu; all these were dismissed cured. One of the patients was a medical man who was afterwards sent to his own home by his friends.

But one remains now in the Asylum, a Malay, suffering from dementia.

Some were sent by their Consuls or the Government to their own country, or removed by friends. There were no deaths.

TUNG WA HOSPITAL.

The total number of patients admitted to this Chinese Hospital during this year was 1,292; of these 569 died. The number of out patients treated was 79,845. The large mortality is owing chiefly to the great dislike. the Chinese have, to detention in Hospital except they are almost in the last extremity; 152 dead bodies were brought into the Hospital besides those above mentioned.

The number of cases admitted, suffering from Small Pox, was 11, of these 5 died, they were mostly

infants.

The number of vaccinations performed in the City of Victoria and Villages of Hongkong was 1,722. The vaccinations are efficiently and carefully done.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 3RD JUNE, 1882.

TEMPORARY LOCK HOSPITAL.

515

This is still in the old school-house mentioned in my report for 1880. Part of the building has now become unsafe and cannot be used. Both the new and the old Lock Hospitals are being used as a temporary Government Civil Hospital.

The number of cases admitted to Hospital was 44; of these there were some bad cases of syphilis, their long detention, and the small number of admissions, has caused a rise in the average number of days detention to 21, the highest average reached in the nine years I have had to report upon.

There have been no prosecutions this year, and the sly brothels have become alarmingly numerous, both those used by Europeans and Chinese. The better class of the Chinese have many times spoken to me with disgust at the state of things, saying that they cannot trust their boys out without servants being in charge of them, for fear they should be enticed into these houses. With the new orders that have lately been received from Home concerning the working of the Contagious Diseases Ordinance, it must be expected that there will be a great increase of admissions to the Lock Hospital, and how they are to be provided for I really cannot say, the present accommodation being very small, and what there is unfit for any European cases.

The number that submitted voluntarily to examination was 181 and the number of examinations made 8,440. In 1873 the number that submitted voluntarily was 333 and the number of examina- tions was 16,474 or nearly double the number. The number that submitted voluntarily in 1877 was 255 and the number of examinations made was 13,065, this was the year of the Commission of En- quiry into the working of this Ordinance. The difference in the numbers of the years 1873 and 1877 is to be accounted for by there being less demand, owing to the great decrease in the number of ships in Harbour. Sailing ships giving way to steamers and the latter being more rapid in their movements and not being detained so long in Harbour, there are not so many seamen in Port and those that are have less leave owing to the short time they are in Port. The amount of disease among private patients of the different practioners in the Colony has increased to a great extent, and in my own practice I have not found a single case that could be attributed to a registered house.

The number of men, admitted to the Military Hospital suffering from venereal disease, was 136 as compared with 164 last year; of this number 3 cases were not contracted in Hongkong, but came from Portsmouth in the steamer Scotland.

The number of cases, admitted into the Naval Hospital was 245, as compared with 181 in 1880; of these 115 cases were not contracted in Hongkong.

The number of Police admissions to Hospital from this cause were 37 as compared with 47 in 1880; of this number 2 were not contracted in Hongkong.

The number of cases admitted into the Government Civil Hospital, was 96 as compared with 60 in 1880; 50 of these were not contracted in Hongkong.

From the causes mentioned in previous reports, it is difficult to estimate from these tables the amount of disease contracted here. The soldiers, when new arrivals, always get into trouble more than when they have been here some time and know their way about. The Police, who know their way about, suffer little. The Naval seamen it is hard to judge by, as they are continually moving about and many cases are treated on board ship and do not appear in these tables. The seamen admitted to the Civil Hospital do not give any fair estimate; many have left the Port before the discase has been discovered and many are treated on board by the Doctors of the vessels or those who practice in the Harbour. The number of women admitted to the Lock Hospital forms no criterion as there are, as I say, so many sly brothels. There is, so say the Chinese, hardly a street in the Chinese quarter of the town, in which there are not several of these houses, many streets in which there are a number of them.

The number of cases of Secondary Syphilis among the registered women admitted to Hospital

was 2.

The number of Naval seamen, suffering from Secondary Syphilis believed to have been contracted in Hongkong, was 5, the total number admitted to the Naval Hospital for this cause was 32.

The number of Soldiers who contracted the primary disease in Hongkong and suffered from Secondary Syphilis was 19. The number admitted to the Military Hospital from this cause was 21.

The number of Police admitted to Hospital for Secondary Syphilis was 2.

The number admitted to the Government Civil Hospital for Secondary Syphilis was 26; of which 4 only were contracted in Hongkong.

HEALTH OF THE COLONY AND SANITATION.

The census was taken last year and the number of Europeans was found to be 3,040 as compared with 2,767 for the previous four years 1877 to 1880 inclusive and 2,520 for the previous five years 1872 to 1876.

Fevers.

1

516

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 3RD JUNE, 1882.

The number of deaths among Europeans was 64, and the percentage to the number of residents 2.10; in only two of the past ten years has it been as low as this.

The rain fall for last year was 98.21 inches and the number of days on which it rained was 141. The heaviest rain was in July and August, 44.39 inches was the fall during these two months, it being nearly equally divided between them; 14.25 inches fell in April. It is owing to the heavy falls that occur in the Spring after a long drought as is generally the case, that we owe our freedom from disease, as the heavy down-pour serves to flush the drains and subsoil, and quickly drive out the impurities that have collected during the dry months; if it were not for this and the rain-fall was less heavy and only sufficient to stir up the impurities collected without removing them, the amount of sickness would be much greater, as there are no means of flushing the drains or subsoil but this. The greater part of the Chinese houses in the Colony drain only into the subsoil. The only means to meet such a contingency are improved drainage and greater supply of water. This year Mr. CHADWICK was sent out from Home, as Sanitary Commissioner, to report on the state of things in this Colony and was much impressed by these two great wants. That these are the great wants of the Colony together with a considerable alteration of the system of house building is his opinion, as it has been that of the Surveyor General and myself. The following figures will show what good grounds we have for forming this opinion.

There is one thing wrong about these returns, and that is Typhus Fever, there being no such thing as Typhus Fever here at all; it is I believe unknown in the East. Forbid it should ever come here, for we should never get rid of it again; the cases that are returned as Typhus should be Typhoid or Enteric Fever I think. But as the Chinese returns especially are very much mixed, and some of the Deaths other than Chinese are not attended by European Physicians, these may be considered only as regards the totals, the complaints having much in common as arising from bad water,

bad drainage, bad ventilation, &c., and also much in common in their symptoms which may cause mistakes in diagnosis among the Chinese. What I particularly desire to bring to observation is the increase in the number of deaths attributed to these causes in the last five years, the last four years nearly doubling the number of deaths in the first four, especially among the Chinese. It is only during the last five years and especially in the last three that all China Town and a considerable portion of that part which before was occupied by Europeans has been built over with Chinese houses, all of them now three stories high, where before they were only two stories, and all built on the same insanitary principles that I pointed out eight years ago. At least two thirds of the Chinese quarter of the Town has been entirely rebuilt in the last eight years, and I do not believe there were a hundred three stories China houses in existence when I arrived here nearly nine years ago. I had the honour and vexation of shewing Mr. CHADWICK new Chinese houses which had not been occupied three months, in a disgrace- fully insanitary state, such as I venture to say could be found in no other town in the world under European supervision.

Table XVIII shews the work done by the Sanitary Inspectors or rather all that they have been permitted to do. They are rendered helpless by a Government order issued 13th July 1881, couched in these terms. "With reference to the prosecutions at the Magistracy under Subsection I of Section "Il of Ordinance 14 of 1845, I have the honour by the direction of the Governor to acquaint you for "the information and guidance of the Inspectors of Nuisances that some actual annoyance to some "bona fide passenger or inhabitant should be proved." What Chinese or European passenger is likely to trouble himself and waste his time hanging about the Courts, to prove a nuisance or what Chinese inhabitant is likely to trouble himself about a nuisance? even Europeans will submit to a great deal before they risk being brought into Court to waste an hour or two. So that this is tantamount to an order that no prosecutions should be made and is one of the things referred to in Mr. PRICE's letter paragraph 11, No. 45 published in the Return of Restrictions upon the Chinese, Hongkong.

I wish to call attention to the numbers of stalls now permitted to occupy the foot-ways, side channels, and also a considerable portion of the roadway even in the principal streets. Many of these are cooking stalls, vegetable stalls, &c., and are not only great obstructions to passengers but also to the working of the side channels; much garbage animal and vegetable is thrown about indiscriminately, obstructing the channels and being ground into the mud of the foot-ways and roadways by the general traffic. The drain traps are also defiled by this cause and also the use of them as urinals; the stench at the corners of some of the principal streets where the traps are is sometimes unbearable for these reasons. The jinrickshas also require much looking after though of late there has been a great improvement in them. The owners should be held strictly responsible for their cleanliness as they are likely unless strictly looked after to be the means of communicating diseases of a contagious nature, the runners of them also require attention as regards their cleanliness. Hanging clothes out to air or dry on long bamboos across the streets is also very objectionable for the same reasons, Ordinance No. 14 of 1845, provides for these and many other things in Section II, and I am not aware that it has been repealed though apparently it is not carried out.

The enclosed report of Mr. H. MCCALLUM of the analytical work done is interesting both as regards the milk supply and also the water supply, but does not form very agreeable reading for those that advocate teetotalism. But as Mr. MCCALLUM has had very hard work lately at the different water analysis for the information of Mr. CHADWICK, it is perhaps likely that we shall have some improvement in the supply in the course of a few years.

I regret this report has been so much delayed, but it has been on account of illness which has prevented me from finishing it as soon as I could wish.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

GOVERNMENT CIVIL HOSPITAL,

HONGKONG, 22nd February, 1882.

SIR,-I have the honour to submit the annual report of the Superintendent of the Government Civil Hospital.

During the year

the buildings which constitute the hospital have been found fairly adequate for general requirements. There are however a number of improvements which ought to be carried out as early as possible, viz.:--

A zymotic ward. At present there is one very small room available and only capable of con- taining one patient, in the event of two or three admissions at one time, it would be impossible to accommodate the cases.

A strong room is very much required for patients suffering from Delirium Tremens. This is a frequent cause of admission, often several patients being at one time under treatment, and much incon- venience and annoyance is caused to the other patients located in the same ward.

A lying-in ward is much required. At present cases admitted have to be treated in the female. ward among the other patients.

518

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 3RD JUNE, 1882.

There is only one small room available for second class patients; the number ought to be in- creased, as frequently patients have to be placed in the first class wards, owing to want of accommoda-

tion.

I would suggest that the first-class wards be made more comfortable and private, and that a first or second class should be provided for females. At present there is no accommodation for women able to pay for admission.

The public mortuary ought not to be situated within the precints of the hospital, neither should Coroner's inquests be held at the hospital. Both are a source of much inconvenience and discomfort to the Staff and patients, and their speedy removal is greatly to be desired. After the typhoon of October last, owing to the accumulation of dead bodies in the mortuary, the smell was most offensive and could be distinctly perceived throughout the hospital.

The present system of sending the bedding, &c., to the Gaol to be washed, is much to be depre- cated, as there must always be a certain risk of contagion being conveyed to the inmates of that esta- blishment. A wash house and disinfecting room are urgently required, and a site found for them within the hospital grounds.

Considerable inconvenience is caused by the want of efficient control over the egress from and ingress to the hospital. The servants can go out and in at their pleasure, strangers can enter at any time without being observed, and it is a wonder that none of the stores have been stolen. The remedy for this is to erect a gate and a lodge for the gatekeeper at the entrance from the Queen's Road.

The placing of the quarters of the Staff in the main building is decidedly objectionable; it renders them liable to the extreme annoyance and inconvenience of being disturbed at all hours by delirious patients and those suffering from great pain or by the arrival of some accident. On the other hand, the patients are liable to be disturbed by the occupants of the quarters, as it is impossible to expect that any man in his own rooms is constantly to be remembering that he is practically in a sick room, and that the slightest noise is to be avoided. It would therefore be advisable to erect a separate building within the hospital enclosure for the use of the Staff.

The present Superintendent's quarters would give all the extra wards above alluded to.

The Staff, so far as numbers are concerned, is ample. However, the great number of the men, employed as nurses, are of a low class and not reliable. This is in some measure due to the manner in which they are entered, but more on account of the nature of the duties and the way in which they are paid. A man on being taken on as nurse, draws the same amount of pay as another man who may have served in that capacity for ten years. This ought not to be. It is strongly recommended that they should be divided into three classes and that promotion from a lower into a higher grade be made dependent on efficiency, good conduct and length of service. The pay of the third class might remain as at present, viz.: $8 per month, the second to be $9, and the first $10. There can be little doubt but that such a method would in the first instance secure better men, and, what is of more importance, after they have been trained, tend to retain them.

The dry earth closets in use in the lower building seem to answer fairly well; however, the self- acting kind should be substituted for the present ones, as it is difficult to get the patients to make use of the earth in a proper manner. These closets ought to be emptied, at least twice in the twenty-four hours. Great care should be taken to prevent the utilising of this focal matter as a manure seeing it is frequently liable to be infected with the specific germs of disease. It would be advisable either to have it burned or buried at a considerable depth with quick lime.

Tables have been provided for each ward, so that patients are now able to take their meals in comfort. New filters are being provided for each ward as well as for the kitchens. They are designed by Mr. MCCALLUM and are much superior to those ordinarily in use.

This shows an increase of 181, compared with last year, and is the greatest number admitted in any one year during the last decade, except 1878, when the number was 1,289.

Very few Chinese private paying patients sought admission. This may be that they do not yet. appreciate western scientific medical treatment, but it is very probable that the fees charged have more to do with it. The lowest charge for a patient of this class is $1 a day which is a considerable sum for an ordinary Chinaman to pay, and very likely acts as an effective preventative to their seeking ad-

mission. It would be well if the Government considered the advisability of reducing this fee, and at the same time making arrangements for free out-door attendance to those who may apply at fixed hours on certain days of the week. Should this be done, information to that effect might be published in the Chinese newspapers. At present almost the only applications for out-door treatment are made by European destitutes, generally loafers, in the Colony, and prostitutes, neither of which deserve any

encouragement.

The general health of the Police has on the whole been good. Table I. shews the total admis- sions to be 498, or 90 less than last year, and the number of days spent in hospital 6,134, shewing an average daily sick of 16.8 or 6 less than last year. Referring to Table II., the average daily sick per cent. for Europeans is 4.58, and this compares favourably with the rate in England. The rate of sick- ness of the Indians is only 3.23 per cent., and is very much under that of India. The Chinese force shews a still smaller percentage, viz.: 1.84 and I doubt if such another body of men could shew such a low rate of sickness in any other part of the world. Five Europeans died, three in and two out of hospital, the latter the result of accident. Including those two it makes the apparent death rate 3.23 per cent. or 32.3 per thousand. This is very high, but excluding one death, the result of Syphilis, it brings the rate to 22.3 or not much higher than prevails in England. The death rate among the Indians and Chinese is exceedingly small.

Comparing Tables III. and IV., the Police force shews a smaller rate of sickness than the troops, but a much higher mortality. This may in some measure be accounted for by the fact that all bad cases, among the troops are sent to England.

Table III. shews the admissions from the different Police Stations, but as none of them shew any excess of sickness, no remarks are necessary.

Table V. gives admissions into and deaths in hospital with the diseases.

There were four admissions from Typhoid fever, all recovered. One was a particularly tedious case, the patient suffering from no less than two relapses. It is a singular fact that all the cases came from on board ship. This looks as if the water supply was at fault, and it would be well if the source of water supplied and the mode of supplying it to the shipping were enquired into. Fevers of a malarious type caused a very large number of admissions, some of the cases being of an extremely severe character. There were three deaths, two of the cases having been brought into hospital almost moribund.

The admissions for venereal are about the same as last year. There were two deaths under this head, that of destitutes who came under treatment in an advanced state of tertiary syphilis.

Bronchial affections were very common, but not generally of a severe type.

Dyspepsia was a common cause of admission, probably the result of the excessive use of alcoholic

drinks.

Bowel complaints were numerous, most of them being of a mild type.

A large number of admissions from General Debility, mostly the result of climate.

There were 11 admissions from Delirium Tremens and no deaths.

Seven cases of opium poisoning, all recovered.

About one-tenth the total admissions were from contusions and wounds, all of them were of a slight nature with few exceptions. There was one case of wound of the lung which resulted in death, another was an extensive wound of the elbow joint, which completely healed in three weeks leaving the almost free use of the joint.

There were no less than 71 admissions with no appreciable disease. The cases remaining under observation from a few hours to one or two days.

sion.

16 cases were brought to hospital in a moribund condition, dying within a few hours after admis-

The total number of deaths for the year was 49.

There was one admission from snake bite. The man was bitten in the foot whilst on his way down from the Peak. There was considerable swelling but no constitutional disturbance, and the case did well in a few days. From several cases of snake bite which have come under observation, during the past year, I should be inclined to state that the specimens found here are not of a very deadly

nature.

The total receipts during the year amounted to $7,787.82 of this sum $1,122.48 was from the Police and $2,028.00 from the Board of Trade.

I have the honour to be,

Sir.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 3RD JUNE, 1882.

LABORATORY,

GOVERNMENT CIVIL HOSPITAL,

HONGKONG, 21st January, 1882.

SIR, I have the honour to submit the following Report of Analytical work performed during 1881.

Fifty-seven analyses were made, five of which were researches for poison in cases of suspected poisoning, the remaining fifty-two being quantitative analyses of water, milk, wine, spirits, and drugs.

Of the twelve samples of milk examined, eight were adulterated with water, and in one case as much as 51 per cent. had been added. This adulteration is a serious matter deserving the attention of the Government. Not merely is the consumer defrauded, but there is also the danger of impure water being used as the diluent and thus probably disseminating disease.

A table shewing the results obtained in the monthly analyses of the Pokfúlam water is given below. All the samples were collected from a tap in direct connection with the main in which the supply of water is continuous. Each month the water was found turbid, such turbidity at times being excessive. It will be observed that in April there was a sudden increase in the Nitrogenous organic matter indicated by the greater yield of Albuminoid Ammonia. This continued with slight variations until December, when it again suddenly decreased. The rise corresponded with the beginning of the rains and increase of temperature, the fall with the decrease of temperature and rain. There was a decided increase of Chlorine in October, caused doubtless by the typhoon of the 14th of that month blowing spray from the sea inland.

In addition to the monthly analyses of the Pokfúlam water, a few samples from other sources were examined and specially reported on in four instances. As might be anticipated, when the geolo- gical formation, the general configuration, and the barren condition of the upland portion of the island are taken into consideration, the water in the streams is of excellent quality. At the same time, it should be efficiently filtered before it is used for potable purposes, because as a rule there is present in suspension a considerable amount of very finely divided mineral matter, which, putting on one side the disagreeable idea of drinking it, might prove injurious to health by mere mechanical irritation. The storage of the water in open reservoirs and trusting to subsidence as a means of getting rid of the suspended matter, ultimately increases the evil. Such a method may for a time be of some benefit, but in dry weather the reservoir acts as a collector of debris, which debris becomes stirred up and diffused throughout the whole mass of the water by every heavy rain that occurs.

It is hardly necessary to remark that the lower portion of those streams in which the public washermen ply their calling is of a very different character. The condition of the water in the wells of the city has not yet been ascertained. It is however to be feared judging from their positions, that not a few such waters are quite unfit for dietetic use.

Some surprise was expressed at the result of the analysis of a sample of water from the lower portion of one of the streams, where pollution was evidently taking place and apparently to a consider- able extent. A careful examination shewed, however, that although a number of black, filthy, stinking, gutters, from piggeries and middens led directly into the stream yet a comparatively small quantity of this sewage matter passed into it, there being no actual flow but simply a slight oozing. The whole probably not exceeding a gallon a day, whereas the flow of water in the stream in the same period would amount to some thousands of gallons. The condition of the stream also was most favourable to the self purification of the water, viz.-a rough bed, rapid flow, with a comparative high temperature and in some places a semi-filtration owing to a partially underground current. Nevertheless, there can be little doubt that with every shower of rain the state of the stream in question is such as to render it unsuitable for potable purposes. Even in ordinary times without efficient filtration, it is not a desirable drinking water. Although some of our best water supplies in England have received the sewage of towns containing thousands of inhabitants in addition to that of villages, private residences, and manufactories, yet there can only be one opinion but that, where obtainable water, which has never been contaminated with sewage is by far the best for dietetic purposes. Drinking water, like Cæsar's wife, should be above suspicion.

I have the honour to be,

Dr. PH. B. C. AYRES,

Colonial Surgeon, &c.

13. The period of training on board the Britannia will be four terms; there will be two terms in each year. The first term of each year will be from February to July, the second from September to December.

The vacations will be five weeks at Christmas, two weeks at Easter, and six weeks at Mid-

summer.

14. There will be examinations in Seamanship and Study at the end of each term.

Cadets who pass unsatisfactory examinations, or who are reported for unsatisfactory conduct, will be "warned," and they will be liable to be discharged at the end of the following or any subsequent term, should they again be reported as failing to attain the proper number of marks at the examinations, or for unsatisfactory conduct.

If a Cadet is reported for unsatisfactory conduct during his final term he will be discharged without being allowed to present himself at the examination for passing out of the Britannia.

Any Cadet who shall appear to their Lordships for any reason to be unfit for the Service will be removed from the Britannia.

15. It is to be distinctly understood that the period of training on board the Britannia is a time of probation, and the parent or guardian of every Cadet will be required to sign a declaration (on the admission of the Cadet to the Britannia) to the effect that he shall be immediately withdrawn on the receipt of an official intimation of his being considered unfit for the Navy.

16. Cadets will, on passing out of the Britannia, rank according to the amount of sea time they obtain at their final examination, and those who obtain equal amounts of sea time will rank in the order of merit in which they pass out of the Britannia.

17. The parent or guardian of every Cadet will be required to provide outfit under the regulations in force.

18. Pay and Pocket money will not be allowed by Government to Cadets entered in and after June, 1881.

No. 7 of 1882

DANGER REPORTED NEAR DUGDALE ROCK, INNER ROUTE.

Mr. JAMES BROOKFIELD, of the beche de mer fishing boat "Mary Lee," reports the existence of a small coral knoll lying about a mile to the south-eastward of the Dugdale Rock, and covered by about 2 feet of water at low-water springs.

He also states that at low-water springs there is now not more than 1 foot of water over the Dugdale Rock.

NOTICE TO MARINERS.

No. 9 of 1882. KOLAN RIVER.

Portmaster.

The Kolan River, the entrance to which is about 11 miles to the north-westward of the Burnett, is now beaconed for the use of small craft, as far as it is navigable.

The Bar, on which is a depth of 3 feet at low-water springs, must be crossed with two white leading beacons in line, on a S. ♀ E. bearing. Just inside the Sand Point, a flat extends across the channel, with only 2 feet at low water, but it is sheltered from the sea and does not break.

The channel is marked in the same manner as that of the other rivers in Queensland.

The rise and fall of the tide is similar to that at the Burnett.

THE GREAT INTERNATIONAL FISHERIES EXHIBITION, LONDON, 1883.

MEMORANDUM FOR COLONIES.

I. In order to secure uniformity of action as regards the Exhibitors residing in any Colony, it is of importance that there should be in each, one Central Representative (or Correspondent) to act on behalf of the Exhibitors in such Colony.

1st.-The Central Representative (or Correspondent) should undertake to distribute Prospectus,

Application-Forms, &c., to those likely to become Exhibitors.

2ndly. He should receive the forms (when filled up) applying for space, the list of articles, &c. 3rdly. He should communicate upon all matters directly with the General Secretary in London (Sir BRANDRETH GIBBS, 24, Haymarket, London), and should inform him from time to time of any applications for space and of the exact nature of such applications. 4thly. He should act generally as the Representative of the Exhibitors in such Colony. 5thly.-When the Committee in London shall have decided how much space is allotted to such Colony, it will be the duty of the Representative to divide it among the Exhibitors who have applied.

II. The Prospectus (sent herewith) sets forth the "Divisions" under which the objects will be grouped. In correspondence respecting any regulation, in the Prospectus, its number should be quoted, and in the case of reference to objects to be exhibited, the "division" number should be named.

III. It is quite necessary that each Exhibitor should keep a copy of his entire entry for future

reference.

IV. Special attention should be paid to the date by which all applications should be lodged with

the General Secretary in London. (See Regulation "6" in the Prospectus.)

V. In the case of any Colony whose fishing operations are so limited as not to require a Repre- sentative of the Exhibitors, communications can be addressed by individual Exhibitors direct to the General Secretary in London.

VI. A further supply of Prospectuses, blank Application-Forms, blank List of Articles, &c., can

be obtained on demand made to the General Secretary in London.

VII. Immediately a Central Representative is appointed in any Colony, his name and address.

should be communicated to the General Secretary in London.

VIII. Any expenses of whatsoever nature connected with the Representation of any Colony, if not borne by the respective Authorities of such Colony, must be defrayed by the Colonial Exhibitors themselves.

All communications addressed to the General Secretary in London must be prepaid.

REGULATIONS MADE BY THE GOVERNOR IN COUNCIL UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 25 OF ORDINANCE 8 OF 1879.

Whereas by Section 25 of Ordinance 8 of 1879 it is provided that whenever the Governor in Council has reasonable cause for believing that any country or place is infected with any infectious or contagious disease, he may make such regulations concerning vessels arriving from such country or place as he thinks necessary for preserving the public health of the Colony.

And whereas the Governor in Council has reasonable cause for believing that the residencies of Batavia, Cheribon, Probolingo, Bezocki and Banjoemas are places now infected with an infectious. disease, viz. cholera, it is hereby ordered by the Governor in Council as follows:-

1. No boat, except that of the Health Officer of the Port, is to approach within twenty yards

of any Vessel that is flying the quarantine flag or has been placed in quarantine.

2. No person shall leave any vessel that is in quarantine without permission of the Health Officer of the Port: neither shall any letters be sent or received except through the Guard Boat employed in the quarantine service.

3. Vessels arriving from Batavia, Cheribon, Probolingo, Bezocki, and Banjoemas shall imme-

diatly on entering the waters of this Colony fly the Quarantine Flag.

4. No such vessels shall be admitted to pratique until 10 clear days have elapsed since the vessel

left any of the said places.

5. If there has been any case of cholera on board of such vessel, the vessel shall not be admitted to pratique until 10 clear days have elapsed since any person suffering from such disease was lost on board such vessel.

EDUCATION DEPARTMENT,

HONGKONG, 8th May, 1882.

SIR,-I have the honour to forward herewith the Annual Report on Education and the Blue Book returns for the year 1881.

2. The total number of schools, subject to supervision by the Government, amounted in 1881 to 72 as compared with 63 in 1880, 50 in 1879 and 47 in 1878. The total number of scholars, subject to supervision and annual examination by the Government, amounted in 1881 to 4,372 as compared with 3,886 in 1880, 3,460 in 1879 and 3,152 in 1878. These figures indicate a steady increase, con- tinued during the last four years, in the general number of schools and scholars subject to Govern- ment supervision.

3. The numbers above given include both the so-called Government schools, i.e. secular schools established by the Government, or aided by the Government (by monthly grants), and the so-called Grant-in-Aid schools, i.e. religious denominational schools, Protestant and Roman Catholic, which are aided by the Government by annual grants under the provisions of the Grant-in-Aid Scheme. Comparing the rolls of these two different classes of schools, I find that we had in 1881, in 35 secular Government schools, 1,986 scholars as compared with 2,078 scholars in 1880, 2,043 in 1879 and 2,101 in 1878; and I further find that we had in 1881, in 37 denominational schools, 2,237 scholars as com- pared with 1,808 in 1880, 1,417 in 1879 and 1,051 in 1878. I see therefore a slight but steady decrease, from year to year, in the attendances at the secular Government schools, which decrease is counterbalanced, as it is no doubt caused, by the manifest steady increase, observable year by year, the number of scholars attending the religious denominational Grant-in-Aid schools. If, however, the limited accommodation of the present Government Central School were remedied by the building of a new Central School, with increased staff and accommodation, the result would be somewhat different.

in

4. The Census taken in 1881 enabled me to arrive at a tolerably correct estimate of the number of scholars attending schools not under Government supervision or inspection. It appears that on

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 1ST JULY, 1882.

"

579

3rd April, 1881, as many as 6,587 children were returned as scholars, and it may safely be assumed that nearly all of them attended schools in the Colony at that time. Deducting from this number the number of scholars enrolled in the secular and denominational schools under Government inspection (4,372), I find that there were 2,215 scholars attending private schools. The Census of 1881 enables me also to calculate, more satisfactorily than it was possible to do so in previous years, the proportion of educated to uneducated children in the Colony. It appears, on an approximate calculation (see Table XVI appended to this report) that, out of 21,869 children under 16 years of age, resident in the Colony in 1881, there were 6,587 returned as scholars, and that about 5,467 were then less than five years of age. Hence I infer that the number of children who ought to have been in school, but did not attend any school in 1881, amounted to about 9,815. This estimate is, however, but an approxi- mate one, and as it includes children up to 16 years of age, while many leave school when 14 or 15 years of age, this estimate is certainly rather above than below the mark. I am, therefore, inclined to think that the number of uneducated children, who did not attend school in 1881, may safely be estimated at 8,000. Considering, however, that almost all the existing schools in the Colony are much over-crowded, it appears to me very likely that the number 8,000 represents not merely the number of uneducated children in the Colony, but the number of children for whom there is actually no school provided by public or private means. Further, as the number of girls (859) who attended known schools in 1881 is, when compared with the number of boys (about 4,000) attending such schools, very far below the ratio of proportion of native boys (10,824) and girls (10,340) resident in the Colony, it seems to me safe to assume that a vast majority of those 8,000 uneducated children, for whom there is no school provided, are girls. The observations I made in all parts of the Colony incline me also to the opinion, that this want of schools and school accommodation for about 8,000 children exists principally in the central parts of the town, where rent is too high to enable the ordinary Chinese teachers to make a living out of the small fees commonly paid in ordinary Chinese schools. There is no lack of demand for education of some sort among the Chinese people of this Colony, whether resident in the town or in the villages, but with the exception of the villages, where the Aid System is freely availed of by the people, none of the Kaifong (native residents) of Hongkong have yet applied to the Government for grants-in-aid for educational purposes.

5. Female education appears to be making slight progress in the Colony. As the Grant-in-Aid schools give year by year increased attention to female education, the number of girls attending Government schools continues to decrease from year to year. The number of girls attending Govern- ment schools fell in 1878 to 235, in 1879 to 179, in 1880 to 138 and in 1881 to 120. On the other hand, in the Grant-in-Aid schools the attendance of girls rose during the same years from 343 in 1878, to 431 in 1879, to 564 in 1880 and to 739 in 1881. As regards the Chinese population of the Colony, the Census of 1881 records a total of 10,824 boys and 10,340 girls resident in the Colony. Apart from the girls' schools under Government inspection, and numbering in 1881 but 859 girls, there are very few girls' schools in existence in the Colony. There is therefore clearly a great educational want unfulfilled yet. I have stated above my opinion that a vast majority of the 8,000 uneducated children of this Colony are girls. If I add here that nearly all these children are Chinese and that a considerable number of these girls are not living with their own parents, but are purchased servant girls, though of tender age, and live under a sort of servitude, the need to provide for their education becomes even more apparent. Although the Chinese are, as a rule, very anxious to send their own children to school, they do not care to give their purchased servant girls any education. It is against the interests of the employer to send them to school. I am no advocate of compulsory education, but I think the peculiar circumstances of this Colony and the prevalence of domestic female servitude in Hongkong recommend a partial application of the system of compulsory education, in purely Chinese subjects, to those classes of Chinese females regarding which the Government (as the proper guardian of such purchased children whose parents are in most cases not living in Hongkong) has an interest, if not a duty, to make sure that such girls know, or at least have an opportunity of learning, that they are free.

6. Considering the steadily increasing number of schools teaching English, it is evident that there is from year to year a steady progress made in the promotion of a knowledge of English in this Colony. Besides 7 Government schools which teach English in addition to Chinese, there were in 1881 seven Grant-in-Aid schools teaching English only. The total number of children learning English in schools under Government supervision amounted to 1334.

7. The work done by the Government Central School in 1881, has been tested by me by an examination which I conducted on the same principles which I follow in the annual examinations of the Grant-in-Aid schools, but with such adaptations as the peculiar case of the Central School demanded. As regards Chinese studies, for which there is now but little time available in the Central School, since the number of hours during which the school is taught every day has been reduced from 8 to 6 hours, I may here briefly state that the results of the Chinese examination, which I conducted, shewed that in Chinese composition a fair result had been obtained, but that Chinese memoriter repeti- tion of the classics cannot be kept up now. But as the change was made in the latter portion of the year, it is too soon yet to come to a satisfactory decision. It would be useless therefore to detail here. the results of the Chinese examination. But the results of the English examination may be stated as follows.

580

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 1ST JULY, 1882.

8. The Preparatory School was examined in reading, writing and arithmetic. Of 126 boys thus examined, only 104 had the requisite number of 200 attendances which in Grant-in-Aid schools is the sine-qua-non for admission to the examination. Counting therefore only these 104 boys who had the requisite number of attendances, I find that 10 failed in reading, 2 in writing and 4 in arithmetic; that

Ï 12 failed in one subject only, 1 failed in 2 subjects, and 1 in 3 subjects. Allowing then, in considera- tion of the fact that this school spends part of its time on Chinese studies, the copywriting to make up for failure in one subject, as the Grant-in-Aid Scheme allows in other standards, the net result of this examination is that, out of 104 boys examined, 2 failed to pass.

9. The Eighth Class was examined in reading, dictation, arithmetic and copywriting. Out of 39 boys examined, only 29 had the requisite number of attendances. Counting only these 29 boys, I find none failed in reading, 1 failed in dictation, 5 failed in arithmetic, none failed in copywriting. None failed in more than 1 subject. The result, therefore, is that the 29 boys examined passed without exception.

10. The Seventh Class was examined in reading, dictation, arithmetic and copywriting. Out of 41 boys examined, 36 had the requisite number of attendances. Counting only these 36 boys, I find that 2 failed in reading, 3 failed in dictation, 8 failed in arithmetic, and none failed in copywriting; that 11 failed in 1 subject only, and that 1 failed in 2 subjects. The result then is that, out of 36 boys examined, only 1 failed to pass.

11. The so-called Lower School, including the Sixth, Fifth and Fourth Classes, was examined in reading, dictation, arithmetic, geography, grammar and copywriting. Out of 93 boys examined, only 82 had the requisite number of attendances. Of these 82 boys, 10 failed in reading, 29 failed in dictation, 14 failed in arithmetic, 10 failed in geography, 5 failed in grammar and none failed in copy- writing. I find that 21 failed in 1 subject only, but 12 failed in 2 subjects, 3 failed in 3 subjects and 3 failed in 4 subjects each. The result, therefore, is that, out of 82 boys examined, 18 failed to pass. The unfavourable result of this examination, the subjects of which, as in all other cases, had been fixed upon by myself in concert with the Headmaster and the Masters of these Classes, is in my opinion which caused by the system of promoting boys from one class to another in the course of each term, system appears to have still been in vogue in 1881. Some boys in this school had been admitted a few days before the examination took place, and many had evidently been moved out of the Preparatory or Eighth and Seventh Classes into this school before they were ripe for it.

12. The Third Class of the Central School was examined in reading, dictation, arithmetic, geography, grammar, composition and copywriting. Out of 27 boys examined, only 20 had the requisite number of attendances. Of these 20 boys none failed in reading, none in dictation, 5 failed in arithmetic, none failed in geography, 1 failed in grammar, 5 failed in composition, and none in copywriting. I find 7 failed in 1 subject only, 2 failed in 2 subjects each. The result is, therefore, that, out of 20 boys examined, 2 failed to pass.

13. The Second Class of the Central School was examined in reading, dictation, arithmetic, geography, grammar, composition and copywriting. Out of 26 boys examined, 24 had the requisite number of attendances. Of these 24 boys, 5 failed in dictation, 4 failed in composition, but none failed in any of the other subjects. I find that 7 failed in 1 subject only, and 2 failed in 2 subjects each. The result, therefore, is that, out of 24 boys, 2 failed to pass.

14. The First Class of the Central School was examined in reading, dictation, arithmetic, geogra- phy, composition, history and copywriting. Out of 33 boys examined, 28 had the requisite number of attendances. I find that, out of 28 boys, none failed in reading, 4 failed in dictation, 7 failed in arithmetic, 5 failed in geography, 1 failed in composition, 5 failed in history and none failed in copywriting. I further find that 3 failed in 1 subject only, 4 failed in 2 subjects, 1 failed in 3 subjects and 2 failed in 4 subjects each. The result is, therefore, that, out of 28 boys examined in this high standard, in which Grant-in-Aid schools bring forward but very few boys, out of 28 boys examined, 7 failed to pass.

15. The result total of the examination of the Central School appears to me to have been satis- factory. It is hardly possible to compare the Central School with any other school in the Colony, because, with the exception of the Diocesan School, which as a boarding school differs widely from the Central School, none other in the Colony combines English and Chinese teaching. The Diocesan School, which devotes part of every afternoon to Chinese teaching and gives the rest of the day to English teaching, does not submit the result of the Chinese teaching to Government examination, as it receives no grant for it. All the other schools in the Colony, which teach English, devote the whole of their school hours exclusively to English teaching. The Central School surrenders 24 hours each day to Chinese teaching. Under these circumstances it seems to me that the above detailed results of the Central School examinations, which, with the exception of the case of the Lower School, compare favourably with the results of most Grant-in-Aid schools, are satisfactory. This favourable result, obtained under adverse circumstances, is due no doubt to the excellent organisation and discipline of the Central School, next to the superior qualifications of its trained Masters.

16. The ordinary Government schools, which teach no English, and the Village schools, subsidized by the Government by a small monthly grant as Aided Schools, all of which teach Chinese

But

only, have gone their usual course as in previous years, and do not call for any special remark. it is necessary to advert briefly to those Government schools, outside the Central School, which teach both English and Chinese. Among these schools, the Government school at Stanley was the least satisfactory, as the number of boys, learning English there, gradually dwindled down, through various causes, till there were at the end of the year but 4 boys learning English in addition to Chinese, all the others studying Chinese only. At the Shaukiwán Government school the state of affairs was hardly better. In both of these villages the people appear to prefer a purely Chinese education to the teaching now given in both the English and Chinese languages by one Master in each place. To please these people, the Government would have to appoint one Master to teach Chinese exclusively and another to teach English. But as the number of those who wish to learn English is small in these two places, it is hardly to be expected that the Government should incur the large additional expense. There is, in Shaukiwán, the further difficulty that some of the boat-people and villagers there wish the Chinese teaching to be given in the Hakka dialect, others in the Punti and others in the Hoklo dialect, whilst no teacher can be found able to teach in any two of these dialects. In the Anglo-Chinese Government school at Yaumáti things were comparatively more satisfactory. But here also the number of boys studying English is very small. At Wongnaich'ung the combined teaching of English and Chinese, both of which subjects are equally appreciated by the villagers, gave good results and this Anglo-Chinese school appears to be in a satisfactory condition. The best schools of this class, however, are the two Anglo-Chinese Government schools at Saiyingp'ún and Wántsai. At Saiyingp'ún there is a native Master, educated at Howard University, Washington, U.S.A., teaching English, whilst there is another Government school in the same building teaching only Chinese, so that those who wish to learn Chinese in addition to English, have an opportunity of doing so. But few, however, avail themselves of it, and the majority devote the whole of each day to learning here English only, having private opportunities to keep up their Chinese knowledge. At the Wántsai Government school we have two Masters, one an Indian, educated at the Government Central School, who teaches English, and a native Master teaching Chinese. Only very few of the boys in this school omit studying Chinese in addition to English. This school was in September 1881 attached to the Normal School, to give the students of the Normal School opportunity for practical exercises in the art of teaching. The examination of both the Saiyingp'ún and the Wántsai schools exhibited good results, such indeed as can fairly be compared with the results of the corresponding classes in the Central School.

17. As regards the Grant-in-Aid schools, the same details as those which I have given above with reference to the Central School, will be found collected in the tables accompanying this report, viz., in Table XIII, shewing the number of scholars who passed and failed in each standard as well as the amount of grant earned in each case, in Table XIV, which exhibits the percentage of scholars who passed in each school, and in Table XV, which shews the percentage of passes obtained by each of these schools in reading, writing, arithmetic, grammar, geography, history, repetition, explanation, and composition. But further details regarding these Grant-in-Aid schools having been called for, I proceed to add some remarks regarding the working and results of these schools in 1881, taking these schools in order according to the class of teaching given in each.

18. None of the Grant-in-Aid schools has been placed in that highest class of schools for which the Grant-in-Aid Scheme has made provision in Rule No. 20, viz., Class V, "schools in which a European education is given in any European language with Chinese in addition." The Government Central School is almost the only school of this class in the Colony. But in Class IV of the Grant-in-Aid Scheme, viz., for "schools in which a European education is given in any European language," we have Grant-in-Aid schools, 6 of which use the English language, and 3 use the Portuguese language as the medium of education. Those of these schools which teach English, may be divided into Roman Catholic and Protestant schools. Those which use the Portuguese language, in place of English, are exclusively Roman Catholic.

19. As regards those Roman Catholic Schools which teach English, I have to refer in the first instance to St. Joseph's College, under the charge of the Christian Brothers. This institution is divided into two distinct schools, one being specially for Chinese boys who, however, are taught English exclusively, and the other for Portuguese boys. Neither the Chinese nor the Portuguese language is taught in this institution or even used by way of explanation. The result of the examina- tion was, in both divisions, highly satisfactory, as, out of 140 boys examined, 11 failed in one subject each, and only 4 failed to pass. A reference, however, to Table XV, shewing the results gained in 1880 and 1881 by a comparison of the percentage of passes obtained in reading, dictation, arith- metic, grammar, geography and history, indicates that there was, in 1881, a slight falling off in the results of teaching of the Chinese division, whilst there was a considerable improvement in the teaching of the Portuguese division, as compared with the results of the year 1880. It must also be taken into consideration that this highly satisfactory result was obtained by examining only those boys who had made up the requisite number of 200 daily attendances. Out of a total of 281 boys on the roll of St. Joseph's College, only 140 had fulfilled this preliminary requirement of the Grant-in-Aid Scheme. There were, therefore, excluded from examination and grant 141 boys, or one half of the whole number enrolled, the natural consequence of the fact that the school was taught only 203 days in the year, which left too small a margin for detention by sickness or accidents. As the repeated applications, addressed to the Secretary of State, for a reduction of the number of 200 daily attendances, have been

582

decidedly declined, the only way to remedy the existing state of attendances, as regards St. Joseph's College, will be to abolish the Italian custom of giving a whole holiday every Wednesday (or Thursday).

20. With the Roman Catholic schools I class also the Victoria Schools, as they are under the patronage of the Roman Catholic Mission, although these schools do not teach religion at all. This latter point gives the Victoria Schools so far an advantage, as more time is given to secular instruction, but the entire absence of religious teaching deprives, in my opinion, the Victoria Schools of the educational power exercised by St. Joseph's College. On the other hand, the mixing of Portuguese and Chinese boys, which is the systematic practice of the Victoria boys' school, appears to produce a healthy emulation, of which St. Joseph's College deprives itself by the separation of Chinese from Portuguese scholars. Out of 104 scholars on the roll of the Victoria Schools, only 46 could be examined, and most of those who were not examined were excluded on the ground of insufficient attendances. Some, however, had been attending another Grant-in-Aid school or the Central School during part of the year, and were excluded from the grant on that score. Out of 27 boys examined, 3 failed in 1 subject each, but none failed entirely. There were also 19 girls examined and all passed. As the scholars of the Victoria Schools are distributed over all the six standards of the Code, it required very considerable effort on the part of the teachers to teach so many classes so efficiently.

21. The next Roman Catholic school which teaches English is St. Francis' girls school, which came last year for the first time under the Grant-in-Aid Scheme. Out of 15 girls presented for examination, only 8 had the requisite number of attendances, and these 8 girls were examined only in the two lowest standards of the Code. One failed in 2 subjects, the others passed. A distinguishing feature of this school is the fine needlework done by the pupils under the tuition of the Italian Sisters of Charity.

22. The remaining Roman Catholic schools which were under the Grant-in-Aid Scheme in 1881, and which give a European education, confine their teaching at present to the Portuguese language, viz., the St. Francis' Portuguese School and the Bridges Street Ragged Schools, all of which are under the tuition of the Italian Sisters of Charity. In St. Francis' Portuguese School, which is a mixed school of very young

children and infants, a considerable number had to be excluded from examination owing to their extreme youth making a pass in the lowest standard of the Code, which makes no provision for infant schools, an impossibility. Again, on the score of insufficient attendances, out of 41 presented, 21 had to be excluded from examination. Of the 20 children who could be examined, 17 were placed in the first (lowest) standard, and 3 in the second. The result was, however, satisfactory, as only 3 failed in 1 subject each, and 18 passed. The Bridges Street Ragged Schools presented, after excluding infants and those who had not the full number of attendances, 18 boys for examination, but most of them were clearly too young to be expected to pass even in the lowest Standard of the Code. Out of 18 boys examined, there were accordingly 9 boys who failed in 3 subjects each, and 2 failed in 1 subject each. Thus, out of 18 boys examined, only 7 boys passed. But the failure was manifestly not caused by deficient teaching but by the extreme youth of the children. In the girls' school, the circumstances being the same, the result was little different. Out of 38 girls on the roll, 31 had the requisite number of attendances, but most of the children were too young to be expected to pass. Accordingly 18 failed in 2 subjects each, and 2 failed in 1 subject each. Out of 31 girls examined, only 11 passed. Both these schools are specially designed for the Portuguese poor, and are doing an excellent work as ragged schools, though the remarkable tidiness and cleanliness of schools and scholars belies the idea of any raggedness.

23. Only two Protestant institutions teach English under the Grant-in-Aid Scheme, viz., the Diocesan School and the so-called Hongkong Public School, and both of them are connected with the Church of England. The Diocesan Home and Orphanage is a boarding school for Eurasian children, and although it gives also Chinese teaching, in addition to English which is the language of the school, it does not submit its Chinese teaching to Government examination. I can therefore only treat it as an English school. As such it presented 32 boys for examination and these were distributed over all the six standards of the Code, which fact, in view of the small staff, indicates a very considerable amount of work thrown on the teacher. Out of 31 boys examined, 7 failed in 1 subject each, 1 failed in 2 subjects, and 28 boys passed. This is a very satisfactory result. As this school devotes its afternoons to Chinese teaching, it is (apart from the Normal School) the only school in the Colony similar to the Central School in its combination of two languages taught in the school. On the other hand, being a boarding school, the Diocesan School has the advantage over the Central School by bringing the boys even out of school-hours under English influences, and affording them at all hours. of the day an opportunity of hearing English spoken out of school. The reason why this school does not submit its Chinese teaching to Government inspection, by placing it under Class V (for schools in which a European education is given with Chinese in addition), is probably this, that by so doing the risk of failures at the examination would be very considerably increased, whilst the value of a pass would be but slightly higher. In other words, the school would not be likely to earn as high a grant by being placed under Class V, as it now earns whilst being placed under the lower Class IV. This seems to me to indicate that the Code, as it stands at present, does not encourage the combination of two languages as subjects of instruction.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 1ST JULY, 1882.

24. The Hongkong Public School, conducted at St. Paul's College, with an enrolment of 28 boys, all of whom were the sons of English speaking parents, presented only 14 boys for examination, the others having failed to attain to the requisite number of attendances or left. None was old enough to be presented in a higher standard than the fourth. One boy failed in two subjects, and all the others passed in every subject. Two boys were also examined in Algebra, as a special subject, and passed. Although, therefore, the school had but a small number of boys to present for examination- but one more than at the previous examination, the result of the examination was highly creditable to the Master, and indeed the one boy who failed was too young and nervous to be expected to pass. The class of residents, for whose children this Public School was specially designed, is too small to give any solid

solid prospect of securing a larger attendance in future. The fees charged are also very high. In my opinion it would be more advantageous to the school, to revert to the former plan of admitting a number of respectable Chinese youths to be taught together with the English speaking boys, as the increased number of scholars would enable the Committee to reduce the fees and to increase the staff, whilst the mixing of the two races would produce a healthy emulation without at all endangering the discipline, to which Chinese boys are far more amenable than European youths.

25. Under Class III of the Code, viz., for schools in which a European education is given in the Chinese language, we had in 1881 three schools, two of which are conducted by the Basel Mission in the Hakka dialect, and one by the Berlin Ladies' Society in the Punti dialect. One of the Basel Mission schools is a day school for boys, the other a boarding school for girls. The boys' school of the Basel Mission, with an enrolment of 47 boys, presented only 19 boys, of whom 18 were present, for examination, the remainder having either ceased to attend or failed to attain the requisite number of 200 daily attendances during the year. Of the 18 boys examined, 5 failed in 1 subject each, and 1 in 2 subjects, and the result was that, out of 18 boys examined in the first three standards, 14 passed. Considering that 4 of the boys examined were clearly too young to be expected to pass in arithmetic, this result shewed that good teaching had been given, but the great irregularity of the attendances in this school, compared with the attendances in day schools for Hakka children in the immediate neigh- bourhood, appears to me to indicate that the kind of education given in this school is not much thought of by the parents of the boys, who evidently care more far a good Chinese than for a good European education. That it is not the religious teaching which the parents object to, appears clearly from the fact that crowds of the same class of children are thronging into the other Grant-in-Aid schools in the immediate neighbourhood, where as much religion is taught, but a Chinese education, instead of a European one, is given. The time which this boys' school of the Basel Mission devoted to the teaching of reading and writing colloquial Chinese in the Roman character, and to arithmetic, makes a serious inroad upon the time required for learning to read and write in the Chinese character and, in my opinion, mars, if it does not hinder, real proficiency in the latter. The disadvantages, however, which this system of education appears to imply, do not seem to have equal force in the case of girls for whom, if the two instances of the girls' schools conducted by the Basel Mission and Berlin Mission are a sufficient guide, this system would seem better suited. At any rate, the girls clearly gain under it better results than the boys. The Basel Mission Girls' School, admirably organised and conducted as a boarding school, shews this system to its best advantage, as all the girls are tolerably grounded in the written Chinese character, whilst the facility with which the girls in the highest classes write prose composition in the Hakka vernacular, using the Roman character, is a clear proof that there is con- siderable power in this system in the direction of educating the mind, apart from the greater variety of mere instruction conveyed by it. Of 43 girls examined, all passed in every subject, with the exception of 11 girls in standard IV, of whom 3 failed in 1 subject each, 1 failed in 2 subjects, and 1 in 3 subjects. The latter two failures were clearly caused by individual incapacity. The result of the examination proved the teaching, which is here given by properly trained teachers, to have been excellent in all respects. Nevertheless it was evident to me that the system followed in this school does not admit of the same proficiency being obtained in the written Chinese character as is found in other girls' schools which give a purely Chinese education.

26. The only other school in the Colony, worked under this same system, is the girls' school of the Berlin Foundling House Bethesda, which is also a boarding school like the Basel Mission girls' school, and this school also produced, through its excellent teaching and organisation, very favourable results. None of these girls, however, were presented in the two highest standards. Out of 37 girls examined, 4 failed in 1 subject each, and the result was that only one failed to pass.

27. All the remaining Grant-in-Aid schools are worked under Class I of the Code, giving a purely Chinese education in the Chinese language only. But as all these schools, 23 in number, teach principally the Chinese Classics and supplement the ethical teaching of the Confucian Classics by religious Christian teaching, the work done in these schools has, in my opinion, a high educational value. Until the beginning of last year the Protestant Missions of the Colony held the monopoly of this system of teaching. Last

Last year, for the first time, the Roman Catholic Mission placed one school, worked under this system, under the Grant-in-Aid Scheme, so that now 22 of these schools are Pro- testant Mission schools and 1 is a Roman Catholic school. Five of the Protestant Mission schools are under the superintendence of a native catechist and were opened by him on behalf of a few Chinese merchants who supply the funds. These schools are, however, distinctly Protestant, though not

directly connected with any foreign Missionary. None of the Kaifong schools has as yet been placed under the Grant-in-Aid Scheme. There is no need to detail the results of the examination of each of these 23 Grant-in-Aid schools, as the results are summarily tabulated in the comparative Tables appended to this report. But a few general observations, which forced themselves into notice lately in con- nection with these schools, may be interesting to the taxpayer and possibly contain useful hints to the Managers of these schools. I observed, in the first instance, a general steady improvement going on, from year to year, in the quality of teaching given in these schools, as well as in their organisation and discipline. As I knew all those of these schools which existed before they were brought under the Grant-in-Aid Code, I am certain that this general improvement in the effectiveness of these schools like is principally due to the provisions of the Grant-in-Aid Scheme. On the other hand, this scheme, all other schemes, has also its drawbacks. I observed several evil tendencies arising from some of its provisions. As, for instance, one-fourth of the annual grant earned by a school, goes, according to the provisions of the Code, to the paid teacher as a personal bonus, there is among most of the native teachers a strong tendency, not only to neglect the religious teaching which is not examined into nor specially paid for by the Government, in favour of the particular subjects required by the Code, but also to seek to obtain a high grant by special cramming during the last few months of the year. Another objectionable expedient lately resorted to by some of the native teachers of these schools in Class I, also adopted with a view to obtain a high personal bonus, is the practice of admitting at the beginning of the year a much larger number of children than there is teaching power to provide for, and to select out of the mass, and to drill in preference, the more intelligent portion of the scholars, but quietly to get rid, by neglect or otherwise, of the unpromising scholars. A further objectionable devise of the same sort is the practice, which appears more generally to be setting in in all the boys' schools in Class I, and which consists in training boys chiefly for the lower standards of the scheme in which passes can be obtained at the examination with comparative ease, but to bring forward as few scholars as possible for the higher standards in which the risk of failure is much greater. Thus, the liberality of the Code appears to have engendered a mercenary spirit among many of the native masters of schools in Class I, and it seems that this very scheme, which was introduced to raise the standard of education in the Colony, is, as far as these schools in Class I are concerned, liable to an abuse tending to lower the standard of education materially. Although the number of these schools and the number of their scholars has very largely increased since 1876, yet the subjoined figures shew that the number of scholars annually brought forward into the two highest standards of the Code has considerably decreased since 1876.

I find that the slight increase in the number of scholars brought forward into the higher stan- dards in 1881, as compared with the three preceding years, is due to the laudable efforts made in this direction by the girls' schools and their Managers. It is principally in the boys' schools in Class I, that the standard of education has manifestly been lowered instead of being raised. It is true that a con- siderable number of the boys in these schools leave, after four years study of Chinese, to be enrolled in the Central School to study English, but this fact does not sufficiently account for the excessively small number of boys now being brought forward year by year into the higher standards in spite of the enormous increase of the attendance in these schools. Finally I observed that in the case of some of these Grant-in-Aid schools in Class I, the expenses of which are very small, the amount of grant earned under the provisions of the Code in 1881 exceeded the amount actually spent by them in the same year.

I recommended therefore to the Government to introduce into the Grant-in-aid Scheme a rule, limiting the amount of grant, payable to any one school, by a fixed ratio of proportion between grant and expenditure incurred.

28. A Normal School has been started by the Government in September, 1881, beginning with 10 students, with a view to supply trained native Masters for the schools of the Colony. It is too soon to speak of results. The ten students were examined by me at the end of the year, and the result was very satisfactory, but as it tested only three months' work, it is needless to state details here. append, however, a brief report by the Principal (Appendix).

29. I enclose also the usual Tables, I—XVI, containing the Educational Statistics for 1881.

APPENDIX.

GOVERNMENT NORMAL SCHOOL,

March 3rd, 1882.

SIR-I have the honour to forward you the report of the Government Normal School for the year 1881. This School was started in the month of September last, the first few days of which were spent in getting pupils together, preparing books, materials, &c. On the 12th September, the School was formally opened, when twelve youths attended on trial.

Out of this number, seven are still Students. The other five withdrew for various causes; some not being far enough advanced, and the parents of others not wishing them to attend..

To fill up the three vacancies which then remained to make the full complement of Students, viz. ten, five other youths were admitted. Two of these Students were not suitable and consequently withdrew, the other three remained.

To bring the Students under closer scrutiny and supervision, also to enable them to assist one another in their studies, and thus make quicker progress, by studying, out of school hours, together in one school-room, undisturbed by any noise they would probably be subject to at home, they were allowed to take up their residence at the School, where they can conveniently study at their own desks, having all their books and other requisites at hand.

In December, after three months of probation, the ten Students were examined by the Inspector of Schools and passed satisfactorily.

Of these ten Students, nine were formerly pupils at the Government Central School. The other one was a pupil of the Government Elementary School at Saiyingp'ún.

As a proof that the School is looked upon favourably both by the students and their parents or guardians, I may mention that three of the ten Students had already left school and were earning a competency for themselves. One of them had passed the examination for a Sergeant interpreter in the Police department on a salary of twenty dollars ($20) a month. Another was a clerk in H. M. Naval Yard at a salary of fifteen dollars ($15) a month, and the other was cashier and clerk in a

store.

The school premises at present used for the Normal School are very suitable, as they are situated in a quiet spot out of the city; the school-rooms are large and healthy, and the number of boys, who attend the Elementary Day School to which the Normal School is attached, form an ample quantity of material for the Students to practice on, under my supervision.

If the Government could see its way to build quarters for the Principal over the present school-rooms, a great advantage would be gained, as then the private studies of the Students, both in the morning and evening, could be better supervised by the Principal.

Now that the Students have settled down to their work, I trust that the desire of the Government to obtain trained native teachers for the Elementary Schools will be accomplished, though it must be borne in mind that for the first period, at least, a great many drawbacks must necessarily be expected and encountered..

Dr. E. J. Eitel,

Iuspector of Schools.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your obedient Servant,.

NOTICE.

In the event of bad weather being apprehended by this Department, a black drum will be hoisted

at the Office Flagstaff. A similar signal will be hoisted and a gun will be fired from the Police Hulk.

The usual signs of approaching bad weather are, a falling Barometer, with high Thermometer, sultriness of the atmosphere, and wildness and discoloration of the clouds. Should these symp- toms exist and the wind be anywhere between North-Westerly and North-Easterly, a typhoon of a severe type may be looked for.

If there are the same indications of bad weather with the wind between South-Easterly and South-

Westerly, a typhoon may be known to be in the

neighbourhood, but not likely to be severely felt at Hongkong.

This signal is not to be considered as relieving

Masters of ships from their proper responsibilities.

The signal is intended only as calling the attention

of the Mercantile Marine to any change of weather

which the undersigned is expecting.

Acting Colonial Secretary.

Colonial Secretary's Office,

Hongkong, 15th July, 1882.

NOTICE.

In the event of bad weather being apprehended by this Department, a black drum will be hoisted

at the Office Flagstaff. A similar signal will be hoisted and a gun will be fired from the Police Hulk.

The usual signs of approaching bad weather are, a falling Barometer, with high Thermometer, sultriness of the atmosphere, and wildness and discoloration of the clouds. Should these symp- toms exist and the wind be anywhere between North-Westerly and North-Easterly, a typhoon of a severe type may be looked for.

If there are the same indications of bad weather with the wind between South-Easterly and South-

Westerly, a typhoon may be known to be in the

neighbourhood, but not likely to be severely felt at Hongkong.

This signal is not to be considered as relieving

Masters of ships from their proper responsibilities.

The signal is intended only as calling the attention

of the Mercantile Marine to any change of weather

which the undersigned is expecting.

Harbour Department,

NOTICE.

In the event of bad weather being apprehended by this Department, a black drum will be hoisted

at the Office Flagstaff. A similar signal will be hoisted and a gun will be fired from the Police Hulk.

The usual signs of approaching bad weather are, a falling Barometer, with high Thermometer, sultriness of the atmosphere, and wildness and discoloration of the clouds. Should these symp- toms exist and the wind be anywhere between North-Westerly and North-Easterly, a typhoon of a severe type may be looked for.

If there are the same indications of bad weather with the wind between South-Easterly and South- Westerly, a typhoon may be known to be in the neighbourhood, but not likely to be severely felt at Hongkong.

This signal is not to be considered as relieving Masters of ships from their proper responsibilities. The signal is intended only as calling the attention of the Mercantile Marine to any change of weather which the undersigned is expecting.

I need not state to you how anxious I am to secure the co-operation of the Governments of the several Colonies, and of our fellow-subjects residing there, in the present movement.

I do not, however, presume to suggest in what form their support should practically be given. but must leave it to the Governments of the various Colonies to evince their interest in such manner as each may consider becoming.

The PRINCE OF WALES, who was attended by Sir Philip Cunliffe-Owen, Mr. George Grove, the Director, and Mr. Charles Morley, the Hon. Secretary, of the College, delivered the following address:- You are doubtless aware of the efforts at present being made to establish a Royal College of Music-a work which, I venture to think, is one of national importance.

It is intended to place the institution on a broad and liberal basis; that its advantages shall not be confined to residents of the United Kingdom, but be open to our fellow-subjects in all parts of the Empire; and the gratuitous education of scholars selected by competition on the claim of merit only will be one of its principal features.

The scheme has been received with marked favour throughout the United Kingdom, but I should consider it wanting in one of its main objects if I did not succeed in enlisting the sympathy and co-operation of our fellow-subjects residing in the Colonial portions of the Empire.

634

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 29TH JULY, 1882.

I have on so many occasions experienced the advantages of their ready and earnest concert in promoting schemes of public utility in relation to material progress, that I have some confidence they will exhibit the like friendly rivalry in furthering our efforts in favour of an elevating pursuit, which in all ages and among all communities has exercised no slight influence on national character, and the promotion of which may constitute a bond tending to unite us as strongly in sentiment and feeling as we now are in loyalty and material interest.

For these reasons I was anxious to meet as many of the leading gentlemen connected with the Colonies as might now be temporarily in London, as well as those who permanently reside here; and I am gratified at the readiness with which so many of you have acceded to my invitation.

My object is partly to make it understood how much importance I attach to the element of Colonial co-operation and sympathy, not only as affecting the immediate success of the work, but bearing on the higher objects of national unity, by inspiring among our fellow-subjects in every part of the Empire those emotions of patriotism which national music is calculated so powerfully to evoke.

I further desired to apprise you of the steps which had been and were being taken to carry out

this purpose.

Immediately after the Meeting at St. James's Palace I directed that full reports of the proceedings should be prepared, with the view of transmitting them to Lord KIMBERLEY, the Secretary of State for the Colonies, to be forwarded by him for the information of the Governments of the various Colonies, in the hope that the goodwill of these Governments might be attracted in our favour, and such public encouragement afforded as they might feel it becoming to extend.

It seemed doubtful, however, whether an official communication of this character was calculated to accomplish the full object we had in view, viz. to stimulate popular feeling and sympathy among our Colonial fellow-subjects. It was thought that such an end might be better attained by a direct appeal to themselves and by a more general distribution of the reports of our proceedings among the various institutions, religious bodies, heads of municipalities, and leading persons in the Colonies.

I accordingly propose to supplement this communication by a further letter, and to send a sufficient number of copies of our proceedings to meet the necessary requirements, for transmission to the Colonies. I am not insensible to the engrossing nature of the pursuits of Colonial life, nor to the claims. which material interest have on young communities. We must all recognise with pride and admiration how much the enlightened enterprise and perseverance of our Colonial fellow-subjects have already contributed to the greatness and wealth of the Empire; and I am far from suggesting any relaxation of these efforts.

My purpose is to provide for the leisure hours which must come to the busiest among us-no matter where we live or what sphere of life we occupy-an elevating source of enjoyment which is at the same time calculated to strengthen those emotions that have so much influence in perpetuating a common love of country.

I have endeavoured in my further letter to Lord KIMBERLEY to convey fully the object I have at heart, and although its terms are in some measure a repetition of what I have now stated to you, I think it well you should be apprised of its contents :-

MY LORD,

"I am anxious that no possible steps should be omitted which may be calculated to bring the proposal to found a Royal College of Music under the favourable notice of Her Majesty's subjects in the Colonies.

"It appears to me that the communication which I request you in the accompanying letter to be good enough to transmit for the information of the Governments of the various Colonies, might advan- tageously be supplemented by a somewhat more general distribution within these Colonies of the proceedings which have taken place here in connection with the movement.

"The object of such distribution would be to awaken public interest among all classes of Her Majesty's subjects more thoroughly than even proposals on the part of any of the Colonial Governments to extend their practical aid are calculated to do.

"I have therefore directed further copies of these proceedings to be transmitted to you, and would again request that you will be good enough to forward these further copies for distribution among such. religious or educational Institutions, Municipal or other Public Bodies, or private persons in the various Colonies as may be thought most likely to help the project.

"I trust that the efforts now being made here may meet with general support on the part of the Clergy of all denominations in the Colonies, and that they, as well as the Heads of Colleges and Municipal Bodies, may interest themselves in their several localities to make known the advantages offered by the establishment of the Royal College of Music, and especially that all these advantages (including free instruction) will be open as unreservedly to Her Majesty's Colonial subjects as to those residing in the United Kingdom.

"Her Majesty's Colonial subjects have indeed already shown that the possession of musical talent exists among them in as great a degree as in any other nation, for they may claim with pride that they have produced one of the most accomplished vocalists of the present age.

"I have in past years had occasion in many ways--especially through the medium of the various International Exhibitions over which I have presided-to notice the manifold benefits which have resulted from the combined action of the Colonies and the Mother Country in the development of

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 29TH JULY, 1882.

635

Commerce and the advancement of industrial and other material interests, and I cannot but think that the friendly rivalry of all portions of the Empire will not now be wanting in the effort to cultivate a refined and elevating pursuit which in all ages and among all nations has exercised so important an influence on national character, and done so much to strengthen the common love of country.

66

I have the more confidence in making this appeal from the readiness and public spirit which the Colonies have always evinced to promote every object tending to strengthen the ties that now so happily unite us.

"Your Lordship will, I am sure, be glad to learn that I have had the advantage of communica- ting with a number of gentlemen resident in several of the Colonies, who are temporarily in England, as well as with former Colonists permanently residing here, and they have kindly undertaken by their individual exertions to further the present more extended movement, which I trust will also meet with your Lordship's encouragement and approval.

"I have the honour," &c.

I have no doubt but that the different Colonial Governments will exercise a judicious discretion in the use of these papers, and that we may rely on their hearty co-operation and support in applying them to the best advantage.

If there are any gentlemen present who may think themselves warranted by their connections with the Colonies in aiding to ensure a friendly reception of my communication there, it will be a source of gratification both to me and my colleagues to view such efforts, so entirely in unison with our own, and to welcome them as fellow-workers in the same cause.

I have thus endeavoured to place before you the object we have in view, and the means by which we hope to accomplish it, and I trust you will find both worthy of your support.

I do not, therefore, presume to indicate the precise course which it might be expedient to adopt in any of the Colonies, believing that this had better be left to the practical sagacity and zeal of our friends there, who must be considered to have the best knowledge of what plans are most calculated to ensure local success. I have, however, thought that a brief reference to some of the steps which are contributing to our success here, as well as an enumeration, in a comprehensive form, of some of the advantages which the College offers to Colonists, might be attended with advantage, and, at all events, serve as a groundwork for their operations.

I have, accordingly, directed a memorandum in that sense to be prepared, which will be forwarded, with the other papers to the proper quarter.

In conclusion, I cannot but again express my cordial thanks to the many gentlemen connected with the Colonies who have favoured me with their attendance to-day, and repeat the expression of my hope, not unmixed with a large measure of confidence, that your encouragement and help may not be withheld from an undertaking which may, I trust, in the fulness of time prove to be one more of the many fibres in the silken cord that binds the Mother Country to her Colonial offspring.

I would finally say that we shall be most happy to receive any practical suggestion from our Colonial friends, either here or resident in the Colonies, and that they may communicate either personally or by letter with the Honorary Secretary Mr. CHARLES MORLEY, Duchy of Cornwall Office, No. 1, Buckingham Gate, S.W.

He will gladly supply any gentleman with copies of the various proceedings to which I have referred, as well as of those which properly arise out of this day's meeting

The meeting was subsequently addressed by the Earl of KIMBERLEY, Secretary of State for the Colonies, in support of the views expressed by His Royal Highness.

His Royal Highness then conversed with several of the gentlemen present, and afterwards withdrew.

MEMORANDUM.

1. The Royal College of Music will be a central institution of the British Empire for the teaching of the art and practice of Music to the students of both sexes. It will be situated in London, on the South Kensington Estate of the Royal Commission of 1851.

2. The Professors will be the most eminent and efficient attainable in England or elsewhere. 3. The College will furnish a thorough and systematic education in Theoretic and Practical Music in the following branches:-Harmony, Counterpoint, and Composition; Organ, Violin, Violon- cello, Wind Instruments, Singing including Solo, Part, Chorus, and Dramatic Singing, with Elocution-Ensemble and Orchestral Playing, and the History of Music. There will also be instruction in Modern Languages.

4. The Educational Year will be divided into terms and vacations as usual.

5. The College will be under the management of a Director, the residentiary portion, in which the resident Students will live, will be under the charge of a Matron, and every possible care will be taken to provide for their well-being.

6. The course of Education will last not less than three years.

7. There are two classes of scholarships each held for the whole course-(1) for education and maintenance, (2) for education only. These scholarships will be obtainable by competition before examiners appointed by the College.

636

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 29TH JULY, 1882.

8. Those who fail to pass the scholarship examination but still desire to be educated in the College, may do so by payment of the fees, but they will have to pass an examination before so doing. It is proposed to authorise certain houses in the neighbourhood of the College for the residence of Students from a distance, not on the Foundation, on moderate terms.

9. The students at the College will be within reach of all the concerts and performances that go on during the musical season, and which are naturally a great help to study. It is hoped that arrangements may be made for the free admission of the students to the rehearsals of the best concerts. 10. It is intended to found Fellowships, available for a term of years, for those who, having passed their final examination in College, shall satisfy the Examiners of their fitness for such Fellow- 'ships. The object of the Fellowships is to assist rising musicians who, after achieving distinction at the College, might otherwise be tempted to commence their professional careers too early, and thus to sacrifice the higher aspirations of their art to the necessity of earning immediate means of support.

11. As the object of the Royal College is to forward the knowledge and practice of so humanising and elevating an art as music, it is hoped that those who have the welfare of their fellow countrymen

power. and countrywomen at heart will give it all the assistance in their

12. Meetings may be held in its support in cities and towns, with the double object of making known the advantages which it offers to children with musical ability, and of obtaining subscriptions towards the Foundation.

13. Clergymen may do much in this direction by organising local committees, by preaching on the subject, and collecting donations or subscriptions. Music is one of the main parts of Divine It is also one of the best domestic worship, and sacred music cannot fail to benefit by this movement. pleasures, and a bond of union in family and social life.

14. Magistrates and other official persons, whose object is to promote the well-being of their fellow-citizens, should earnestly support the movement, so well initiated by the Prince of Wales, and do all in their power to obtain subscriptions.

15. Any colony, city, town, or individual, may found a local scholarship by subscribing the requisite sum to the funds of the College. This will entitle the locality or person subscribing to have one scholar, boy or girl, educated and maintained for the entire course of education, provided that the applicant have sufficient knowledge of music to pass the entrance examination.

16. By their liberal and enlightened action in founding colleges, museums, and public libraries, the Colonies have shown that they are alive to the benefits derivable from literature, arts, and sciences. Music confers equal benefits with the other arts-indeed, in some respects more obvious ones; since the pleasure and profit of such a bond as good music in society or the family circle, good concerts, good music in church, can be appreciated by everyone.

But music cannot be studied as books, paintings, or technological museums can, by the mere use of the eye. It requires a long course of earnest study in some place where music already exists and abounds; where there are teachers duly qualified to teach, and where the best players and singers can be constantly heard.

These advantages cannot at present be found in the Colonies; but it is proposed to provide them at the new Royal College of Music.

LOCAL SCHOLARSHIPS.

1. The Students of the College will consist of two branches:-

1. FOUNDATIONERS.

(a) With maintenance and tuition;

(b) With tuition only.

2. PAYING PUPILS.

(a) Through cash payment;

(b) Through Local Scholarships.

2. No Foundation Scholar or Paying Pupil will be admitted unless up to a certain standard of proficiency, such standard to be ascertained by Examiners appointed or approved of by the College.

3. The College will accept donations for the foundation of Local Scholarships of such sufficient sums as may be agreed upon, it being understood that the local scholar must pass a test examination up to the standard prescribed by the College. In the event of no candidate reaching such standard, then the interest of the money shall be appropriated to the general expenditure of the College until a satisfactory election shall take place.

4. The capital sum for founding a Local Scholarship is fixed at £3000.

Hongkong, 15th July, 1882.

NOTICE.

In the event of bad weather being apprehended by this Department, a black drum will be hoisted at the Office Flagstaff. A similar signal will be hoisted and a gun will be fired from the Police Hulk.

The usual signs of approaching bad weather are, a falling Barometer, with high Thermometer, sultriness of the atmosphere, and wildness and discoloration of the clouds. Should these symp- toms exist and the wind be anywhere between North-Westerly and North-Easterly, a typhoon of a severe type may be looked for.

If there are the same indications of bad weather with the wind between South-Easterly and South- Westerly, a typhoon may be known to be in the neighbourhood, but not likely to be severely felt at Hongkong.

This signal is not to be considered as relieving Masters of ships from their proper responsibilities. The signal is intended only as calling the attention of the Mercantile Marine to any change of weather which the undersigned is expecting.

And whereas it has been made to appear to Her Majesty that the rules concerning the measure- ment of tonnage of merchant ships now in force under the Merchant Shipping Act, 1854, adopted by the Government of His Majesty the King of Sweden and Norway, are, with the exception of the said slight difference in the mode of estimating the allowance for engine room, still in force in that country:

HER MAJESTY is pleased, by and with the advice of Her Privy Council, to direct as follows:- 1. As regards sailing ships, that merchant sailing ships of Sweden the measurement whereof, after the said 1st day of April 1882, has been ascertained and denoted in the registers and other national papers of such sailing ships, testified by the date thereof, shall be deemed to be of the tonnage denoted in such registers and other national papers in the same manner, and to the same extent, and for the same purpose, in, to, and for which the tonnage denoted in the certificate of registry of British sailing ships is deemed to be the tonnage of such ships.

2. As regards steam ships: that merchant ships belonging to Sweden which are propelled by steam, or any other power requiring engine room, the measurement whereof shall, after the said 1st day of April 1882, have been ascertained and denoted in the registers and other national papers of such steam ships, testified by the dates thereof, shall be deemed to be of the tonnage denoted in such registers or other national papers in the same manner, and to the same extent, and for the same purpose, in, to, and for which the tonnage denoted in the certificate of registry of British ships is deemed to be the tonnage of such ships; provided nevertheless, that if the owner or master of any such Swedish steam ship desires the deduc- tion for engine room in his ships to be estimated under the rules for engine room measure- ment and deduction applicable to British ships, instead of under the Swedish rule, the engine room shall be measured and the deduction calculated according to the British rules, and that in the event of the net registered tonnage of such steam ships, estimated under the British rule, being denoted in the said certificate of nationality and registry or measurement of Swedish steam ships, the same shall be deemed to be of the tonnage so denoted therein.

TREATY of Friendship, Commerce, and Navigation between Her Majesty and the Prince of Montenegro.

Signed at Cettinjé, January 21, 1882.

[Ratifications Exchanged at Cettingé, May 14, 1882.]

HER Majesty the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, and His Highness the Prince of Montenegro, being desirous of placing on a satisfactory footing the commercial relations between the two States, have with this object determined to conclude a Treaty of Friendship, Com- merce, and Navigation, and they have accordingly appointed their respective Plenipotentiaries, that is

to say:

Her Majesty the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, WILLIAM KIRBY GREEN, Esquire, Companion of the Most Distinguished Order of Saint Michael and Saint George, Her Majesty's Chargé d'Affaires at the Court of Montenegro;

And His Highness the Prince of Montenegro, the VoÏVODE STANKO RADONICH, Knight Grand Cross of the Most Distinguished Order of Danilo the First, his Minister for Foreign Affairs;

Who, having communicated to each other their respective full powers, found in good and due form, have agreed upon and concluded the following Articles :-

ARTICLE I.

British subjects who reside temporarily or permanently in Montenegro, and Montenegrin subjects who reside temporarily or permanently in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, shall enjoy therein with respect to residence, and the exercise of commerce and trade, the same rights as, and shall not be subject to any higher or other imposts or taxes, whether general, municipal, or local, than natives, or the subjects of any other country, the most favoured in this respect, by either of the Contracting Parties.

British subjects in Montenegro, and Montenegrin subjects in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, shall enjoy the same treatment as natives, or as is now granted, or may hereafter be granted to the subjects of any other country the most favoured in this respect, with regard to the acquisition, the holding, and the disposal of real property, and all charges on it; with regard to access to Courts of Law, and in the prosecution and defence of their rights; and in regard to domiciliary visits to their dwellings, manufactories, warehouses, or shops.

and

They shall be exempted from billeting, and from all compulsory military service, whether in the army, navy, national guards, or militia. They shall be likewise exempted from all contributions whether pecuniary or in kind, imposed as a compensation for billeting, and personal service; finally, from forced loans, and military exactions, or requisitions, as well as from all judicial or muni- cipal functions whatever, other than those imposed by the laws relating to juries.

ARTICLE II.

The produce and manufactures of, as well as all goods coming from the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, which are imported into Montenegro; and the produce or manufactures of, as well as all goods coming from, Montenegro, which are imported into the United Kingdom of Great Britain

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 5TH AUGUST. 1882.

649

and Ireland, whether intended for consumption, warehousing, re-exportation, or transit, shall be treated in the same manner as, and in particular, shall be subject to no higher or other duties or surcharges, whether general, municipal, or local, than the produce, manufactures, and other goods of any third country the most favoured in this respect, except as regards such special facilities, as have been, or may hereafter be, conceded on the part of Montenegro to the neighbouring States, with respect to the traffic in local produce and manufactures between their conterminous frontier districts. No other or higher duties shall be levied in Montenegro, on the exportation of any goods to the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland; or in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, on the exportation of any goods to Montenegro, than may be levied on the exportation of any like goods, to any third country the most favoured in this respect.

Neither of the Contracting Parties shall establish a prohibition of importation, exportation, or transit, against the other, which shall not under like circumstances be applicable to any third country the most favoured in this repect. In like manner, all that relates to local dues, Customs' formalities, brokerage, patterns or samples, introduced by commercial travellers, and all other matters connected with trade, British subjects in Montenegro, and Montenegrin subjects in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland shall enjoy the most-favoured-nation treatment.

ARTICLE III.

All British produce or manufactured goods shall be imported into Montenegro free of all duties or charges, with the exception only of such dues as shall be levied for custom-house porterage, public weighing, and for the maintenance and improvement of quays and custom-house buildings.

And any reduction in these dues, granted to the goods or manufactures of any third Power, shall be at once and unconditionally extended to British produce or manufactured goods.

The Montenegrin Government reserves, however, the right of levying an import duty on British manufactures and produce, when it shall deem it expedient. Nevertheless the Montenegrin Government binds itself to give the British Government previous notice of such decision, six months before the measure is put in force, and engages further that such rate of duty shall not exceed 8 per cent. ad valorem. The Montenegrin Government engages, moreover, not to levy any such duties except when they are also applicable to the like manufactures and products of all other foreign countries.

The following articles are excepted from the right of free importation into Montenegro, viz. :—

Arms of all kinds.

Gunpowder and other explosives.

Munitions of war.

Salt. Saltpetre

Sulphur. Spirits.

Tobacco.

Wines.

any

The above products shall be subject in Montenegro to the same conditions as the like products of third Power, the most favoured in this respect.

ARTICLE IV.

The duties ad valorem which may hereafter be levied in Montenegro, on British produce or manu- factured goods, shall be calculated on the value at the place of production or fabrication of the article imported, with the addition of the cost of transport, insurance, or commission, necessary for its importa- tion into Montenegro, as far as the port of discharge or place of entry.

For the levying of these dues, the importer shall make a written declaration at the custom-house, stating the value and description of the goods imported. If the Custom-house authorities are of opinion that the declared value is insufficient, they shall be at liberty to take the goods on paying to the im- porter the price declared, namely, the value at the place of production or fabrication of the article imported, with the addition of the cost of transport, insurance, and commission necessary for importa- tion into Montenegro, as far as the port of discharge or place of entry, with an addition of 5 per cent.

This payment, together with the restitution of any duty which may have been levied upon such goods, shall be made within fifteen days following the declaration.

Goods unaccompanied by the above-mentioned declaration, will not be entitled to the benefit of paying the ad valorem duties stipulated in the present Treaty, but shall be subject to the specific or other duties imposed by the Montenegrin Government.

ARTICLE V.

The Montenegrin Government reserves to itself the right, after an understanding with Her Majesty's Legation, to limit to certain places, the custom-houses through which goods charged ad valorem may enter Montenegro.

The Montenegrin Government likewise reserves to itself the right to require that the importer shall produce, together with his declaration of value on the entry of the goods into Montenegro, one or other, at his option, of the following documents, namely

1. A declaration of value made before the magistrate at the place of manufacture or production.

2. A certificate of value from the Chamber of Commerce at the place of production; or,

3. A declaration of value made before the nearest Montenegrin Consul. The fee of such Consul

on certifying this declaration shall not exceed 5s.

650

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 5TH AUGUST, 1882.

ARTICLE VI.

The Montenegrin Government opens to the produce and manufactures of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, and to the produce and manufactures of British Colonies and foreign possessions, all its ports, harbours, and all landing places, or quays on its rivers or other waters, where merchandize is permitted to be landed, and all custom-houses, free of all custom-house duties and charges, but without prejudice to the stipulations of Articles III, VIII, and XII of this present Treaty.

ARTICLE VII.

If one of the Contracting Parties shall impose an excise tax, that is to say, an inland duty, upon any article of home production or manufacture, an equivalent compensatory duty may be imposed on articles of the same description on their importation from the territories of the other Power, provided that the said equivalent duty is levied on like articles on their importation from all foreign countries.

In the event of the reduction or suppression of excise taxes-that is to say, inland duties-a corresponding reduction or suppression shall at the same time be made in the equivalent compensatory duty on manufactures of British or Montenegrin origin, as the case may be.

ARTICLE VIII.

Every favour or immunity which has been, or may hereafter be, granted by one of the Contracting Parties to the subjects or commerce of a third Power, shall be granted simultaneously and uncondion- ally to the other, except as regards such special facilities as have been, or may hereafter be, conceded on the part of Montenegro to the neighbouring States with respect to the local traffic between their conterminous frontier districts.

ARTICLE IX.

British subjects in Montenegro, and Montenegrin subjects in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, shall enjoy the same rights as natives, or as are now granted, or may hereafter be granted, to the subjects of any third Power the most favoured in this respect, in everything relating to the property in trade-marks, or trade-labels or tickets, as well as in patterns or designs for manufactures.

It is understood that any person who desires to obtain the aforesaid protection must fulfil the formalities required by the laws of the respective countries.

ARTICLE X.

Each of the Contracting Parties may appoint Consuls-General, Consuls, Vice-Consuls, Pro- Consuls, and Consular Agents to reside respectively in the towns and ports of the Contracting Parties where the Consular officers of these different classes of the most favoured nation have received or may receive authorization to reside. Such Consular Officers, however, shall not enter upon their functions until after they shall have been approved and admitted in the usual form by the Government to which they are sent. They shall exercise whatever functions, and enjoy whatever privileges, exemptions, and immunities, are or may hereafter be, granted there to Consular Officers of the most favoured nation.

ARTICLE XI.

It is agreed that, as regards freights and all other facilities, British goods conveyed over Monte- negrin railways or publicly-constructed high roads, and Montenegrin goods conveyed over British railways, shall be treated in exactly the same manner as the goods of any other nation the most favoured in that respect.

ARTICLE XII.

British ships and their cargoes shall in Montenegro, and Montenegrin ships and their cargoes 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, shall be treated in every respect as national ships and their cargoes.

The preceding stipulation applies to local treatment, dues, and charges in the ports, basins, docks, roadsteads, harbours, and rivers of the two countries, pilotage, and generally to all matters connected with navigation, without prejudice to the Rules and Regulations of the Maritime and Sanitary Police and of the Maritime Code in force in Montenegro.

Every favour or exemption in these respects, or any other privilege in matters of navigation, which either of the Contracting Parties shall grant to a third Power shall be extended immediately and unconditionally to the other Party.

All vessels which, according to British law, are to be deemed British vessels, and all vessels which, according to the laws in force in Montenegro, are to be deemed Montenegrin vessels, shall, for the purposes of this Treaty, be respectively deemed British or Montenegrin vessels.

ARTICLE XIII.

The Consuls-General, Consuls, Vice-Consuls, Pro-Consuls, and Consular Agents of each of the Contracting Parties residing in the dominions and possessions of the other shall receive from the local authorities such assistance as can by law be given to them for the recovery of deserters, not being slaves, from the merchant-vessels of their respective countries.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 5TH AUGUST, 1882.

ARTICLE XIV.

651

The Dominion of Canada, Newfoundland,

The Cape,

Natal,

New South Wales,

Victoria,

Queensland, Tasmania, South Australia, Western Australia, New Zealand.

Provided always, that the stipulations of the present Treaty shall be made applicable to any of the above-named Colonies or foreign Possessions on whose behalf notice to that effect shall have been given by Her Britannic Majesty's Representative at the Court of Montenegro to the Montenegrin Minister for Foreign Affairs, within one year from the date of the exchange of the ratifications of the present Treaty.

ARTICLE XV.

The present Treaty shall be ratified, and the ratifications exchanged at Cettinjé, as soon as possible after its signature. It shall come into force immediately after the exchange of ratifications, and shall remain in force for ten years from that date. In case neither of the two Contracting Parties shall have given notice, twelve months before the expiration of the said period of ten years, of their intention of terminating the present Treaty, it shall remain in force until the expiration of one year from the day on which either of the Contracting Parties shall have given such notice.

In witness whereof, the respective Plenipotentiaries have signed it, and affixed to it the seal of their office.

Done at Cettinjé, the twenty-first day of January, one thousand eight hundred and eighty-two.

Protocol of the 21st January, 1882.

The Undersigned, Plenipotentiaries of Her Majesty the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and His Highness the Prince of Montenegro, having met in conference, have taken into consideration the following subject:-

They have directed their attention to the fact that, although, by Article III of the Treaty signed this day between Her Britannic Majesty and the Prince of Montenegro, all British produce or manu- factured goods shall be imported into Montenegro free of all duties or charges, with the exception only of such dues as shall be levied for custom-house porterage, public weighing, and for the maintenance and improvement of quays and custom-house buildings, yet that British goods and manufactures are actually subjected to a tax of four per cent., through the levying of the existing interior duty to this amount on all sales of foreign goods. They have consequently resolved to declare that, whenever the Montenegrin Government puts in force its reserved right, contained in paragraph 3 of Article III of the Treaty, of levying an import duty not exceeding eight per cent. ad valorem on British produce and manufactures, the above-mentioned interior tax of four per cent. on sales effected in the Princi- pality shall at once cease to be leviable.

They further declare that the said existing interior tax on sales of foreign goods and manufactures shall not be raised above four per cent., and that any reduction in this tax granted to the goods and manufactures of any third Power shall at once and unconditionally be extended to British produce or manufactures.

The other provisions of Article III remain in force, as they have been agreed upon in the Treaty. This Protocol shall be regarded and acted upon as forming part of the Treaty in question, and shall be ratified with it at one and the same time.

In witness whereof, the Undersigned have drawn up the present Protocol, to which they have affixed the seals of their office.

Done at Cettinjé, the twenty-first day of the month of January, one thousand eight hundred and eighty-two.

Colonial Secretary's Office,

Hongkong, 15th July, 1882.

NOTICE.

In the event of bad weather being apprehended by this Department, a black drum will be hoisted

at the Office Flagstaff. A similar signal will be hoisted and a gun will be fired from the Police Hulk.

The usual signs of approaching bad weather are, a falling Barometer, with high Thermometer,

sultriness of the atmosphere, and wildness and discoloration of the clouds. Should these symp- toms exist and the wind be anywhere between North-Westerly and North-Easterly. a typhoon of a severe type may be looked for.

If there are the same indications of bad weather with the wind between South-Easterly and South- Westerly, a typhoon may be known to be in the neighbourhood, but not likely to be severely felt at Hongkong.

This signal is not to be considered as relieving Masters of ships from their proper responsibilities. The signal is intended only as calling the attention. of the Mercantile Marine to any change of weather which the undersigned is expecting.

NOTICE.

In the event of bad weather being apprehended by this Department, a black drum will be hoisted at the Office Flagstaff. A similar signal will be hoisted and a gun will be fired from the Police Hulk.

The usual signs of approaching bad weather are, a falling Barometer, with high Thermometer, sultriness of the atmosphere, and wildness and discoloration of the clouds. Should these symp- toms exist and the wind be anywhere between North-Westerly and North-Easterly, a typhoon of a severe type may be looked for.

If there are the same indications of bad weather with the wind between South-Easterly and South- Westerly, a typhoon may be known to be in the neighbourhood, but not likely to be severely felt am Hongkong.

This signal is not to be considered as relieving Masters of ships from their proper responsibilities. The signal is intended only as calling the attention of the Mercantile Marine to any change of weather which the undersigned is expecting.

SIR, I have the honour to transmit to you for publication in the Colony under a copy of a Declaration signed on the 9th of June between the British and Russian Governments on the subject of Tonnage Measurement.

DECLARATION BETWEEN THE BRITISH AND RUSSIAN GOVERNMENTS ON THE SUBJECT OF TONNAGE MEASUREMENT.

Signed at London, June 9, 1882.

The English system of tonnage measurement (Moorsom's system) being henceforward in force as well in the Empire of Russia and the Grand Duchy of Finland as in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, and in the British Colonies, the Government of Her Majesty the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, and the Government of His Majesty the Emperor of All the Russias, have agreed to the following Declaration:-

1. Russian and Finland vessels measured according to the above-mentioned system shall be admitted into the ports of the United Kingdom and its Colonies; and british vessels measured accord- ing to the same system shall be admitted into the ports of Russia or Finland, without being subjected, for the purpose of payment of navigation dues, to any fresh operation of measurement.

The navigation dues above mentioned shall be calculated on the net tonnage.

1st January, 1880

2. The Finland and English Regulations respecting tonnage measurement being substantially the same, English certificates of tonnage measurement shall, in the Grand Duchy of Finland, and Finland certificates of tonnage measurement, taken out after the 31st May, 1877, shall in the United Kingdom and its Colonies, be recognized, without any operation of measurement or other formality whatsoever; and the net tonnage of all British or Finland ships inscribed on the ship's papers shall be considered in the respective ports of each country as equivalent to the net register tonnage of national vessels.

3. English Certificates of tonnage measurement shall in Russia, and Russian Certificates of tonnage measurement, taken out after the 20th Dec 1879, shall, in the United Kingdom and its Colonies, be likewise reciprocally recognized in the ports of each country without any operation of measurement. As, however, the provisions of the Russian Regulation do not entirely correspond to the English Regulations relative to the mode to be followed in the determination of crew spaces in ships, and machine and coal spaces in steamers, the deductions in respect of these shall, for English vessels in Russian ports, be calculated according to the figures shown in the Certificates of tonnage measurement, in conformity with the Regulation sanctioned the 1989, without remeasurement of the vessel.

This measure shall be applicable in British ports to Russian vessels touching there, if the captains of the said vessels shall express a desire to that effect; and, in such case, the provisions of the Merchant Shipping Act of the 10th August, 1854, shall be complied with.

1st January, 1880

4. The above-mentioned arrangements shall apply also to vessels propelled by any other artificial power than steam.

1st 13th

The present Declaration shall come into operation on the July, 1882, and shall remain in force so long as one of the Contracting Parties shall not have notified to the other six months in advance its intention of terminating it.

In witness whereof the Undersigned, duly authorized for this purpose, Declaration, and have affixed thereto the seal of their arms.

NOTICE.

In the event of bad weather being apprehended by this Department, a black drum will be hoisted at the Office Flagstaff. A similar signal will be hoisted and a gun will be fired from the Police Hulk..

The usual signs of approaching bad weather are, a falling Barometer, with high Thermometer, sultriness of the atmosphere, and wildness and discoloration of the clouds. Should these symp. toms exist and the wind be anywhere between North-Westerly and North-Easterly, a typhoon of a severe type may be looked for.

If there are the same indications of bad weather with the wind between South-Easterly and South- Westerly, a typhoon may be known to be in the neighbourhood, but not likely to be severely felt at Hongkong.

This signal is not to be considered as relieving Masters of ships from their proper responsibilities. The signal is intended only as calling the attention of the Mercantile Marine to any change of weather which the undersigned is expecting.

NOTICE.

In the event of bad weather being apprehended by this Department, a black drum will be hoisted at the Office Flagstaff. A similar signal will be hoisted and a gun will be fired from the Police Hulk..

The usual signs of approaching bad weather are, a falling Barometer, with high Thermometer, sultriness of the atmosphere, and wildness and discoloration of the clouds. Should these symp. toms exist and the wind be anywhere between North-Westerly and North-Easterly, a typhoon of a severe type may be looked for.

If there are the same indications of bad weather with the wind between South-Easterly and South- Westerly, a typhoon may be known to be in the neighbourhood, but not likely to be severely felt at Hongkong.

This signal is not to be considered as relieving Masters of ships from their proper responsibilities. The signal is intended only as calling the attention of the Mercantile Marine to any change of weather which the undersigned is expecting.

簿八十二第

ABSENT:

The Honourable WILLIAM KESWICK (on leave).

JOHN MACNEILE PRICE (on leave).

The Minutes of the last Meeting of Council, held on the 27th April last, are read and confirmed. The Administrator lays on the table, by direction of the Secretary of State, a letter from Mr. PRICE, Surveyor General, to the Secretary of State, dated London, 1st May, 1882, giving explanations as to the charge brought against him by Governor Sir JOHN POPE HENNESSY of having delayed the execu- tion of the Breakwater.

His Excellency also lays on the table, by direction of the Secretary of State, a letter from Mr. PRICE on the subject of the Tramways Ordinance, and informs the Council that this Ordinance is still under the consideration of the Secretary of State.

The Administrator lays on the table the Estimates for 1883, together with the following explana- tory minute:-

MINUTE.

In laying before the Council the Estimates of Revenue and Expenditure for the year 1883, I think it will be interesting to Honourable Members, if I give at the same time some information about the financial position of the Colony.

2. The balance of Colonial Assets on 1st January last was $663,710.24, and that of the Special Fund Assets at the same period was $379,910.00, making a total of $1,043,620.24.

692

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 26TH AUGUST, 1882.

3. The Secretary of State, in recently conveying his decision that the construction of the Tytam Water Works should be at once undertaken, has expressed the opinion that as these works will largely benefit the Chinese Community, the Special Fund, so far as it will go, might be very properly applied to this purpose. I propose therefore, with His Lordship's sanction, to close the Special Fund Account The Tytam Water at the end of the present year, and to transfer the balance to general account. Works, as well as the expenditure for completion of the Breakwater at Causeway Bay will then be charged against balances. It will be seen that in the present Estimates these Public Works are only referred to in a note, and also that the contribution to Police Expenditure from interest produced by the Special Fund, as well as the provision for refund of loans from this Fund for the construction of the Praya and Lighthouses have been omitted.

4. In a despatch which was recently laid before this Council, the Secretary of State observed that premia from purchases of land, which are receipts for alienation of Colonial property, ought to be regarded in the light of Capital rather than of Annual Revenue. I have accordingly omitted this item from the Estimates of Revenue for 1883. As it may be interesting to know how much these premia have yielded, I have had a statement made up from which it appears that the total sum received since they were first levied in 1851 is $1,069,504.00. This sum is within $25,000.00 of the total balance of Assets to the Credit of the Colony at the commencement of the year. It may be considered, therefore, that the Receipts from the Establishment of the Colony, up to the present time, including both Imperial Grants and Special Fund, but excluding these premia, about balance the expenditure during the same period. During the early period after the occupation, the Expenditure was greatly in excess of Revenue, but in the course of the last ten years the excess of Revenue over Expenditure, excluding premia on land sales, has amounted to $432,386.00. In the two years 1874 and 1876, the Expenditure exceeded Revenue by $100,000.00; the $432,386.00 represents, therefore, the nett • excess after deducting this sum. The progress which the Colony has made as indicated by these figures is most satisfactory.

REVENUE.

5. I have estimated the Revenue for 1883 at $1,115,665.00. In comparing this figure with the receipts for 1881, which were $1,324,455.00, and with the Estimates for the present year, which are $1,131,860.00, it must be remembered that premia on land sales and the contribution from Special Fund for Police have, as already explained, been omitted this year. The Grant-in-Aid of the Lock Hospital by the Admiralty has also been omitted, because a separate account is now kept of all other Receipts and Expenditure on account of Ordinance 10 of 1867.

If these deductions be made the Receipts of 1881 will be reduced to $1,113,945.00, and the Estimates for the present year will not be more than $1,100,960.00.

*

6. I think that in estimating the Revenue for 1883 at $1,115,665.00, I have not been too san- guine. There is an increase of $5,000.00 under the head of Licences, which seems to be warranted

Interest has also been increased by $10,000.00, on account of by the receipts of the last six months.

the proposed transfer of balance of Special Fund to general account. This item will probably be higher, but it will depend upon the progress that it will be possible to make with the different public works in the course of next year. There is also a considerable increase, in "Miscellaneous Receipts." which is based on the collections from this source, especially for Storage of Gunpowder, during the first half of the year. Fines, Forfeitures, and Fees of Court show a small increase of $2,000.00, and Fees of Office are augmented by $3,000.00, for although a reduction of $5,000.00 has been made on account of the stoppage of the extensive Emigration to the United States, this is more than counter- balanced by the increase on Light Dues, Registration of Deeds, &c. On the other hand, I have made a reduction of $10,000.00 for Stamps, the collections on this account appearing to me to have been abnormally high for some time past, principally owing to transfers of land and litigation connected therewith. Reimbursements in aid of Expenditure are $8,000.00 less, the Estimate for convict labour having been reduced, and the two items Contribution by Admiralty, and from Special Fund having been omitted.

EXPENDITURE.

7. I have estimated the Expenditure of 1883 at $1,081,732, which may be classified as follows:-

Ordinary Expenditure,

Public Works, Roads, &c.,.........

Military Expenditure,

.$ 810,915

161,750

109,067

$1,081,732

The Ordinary Expeniture in 1881 amounted to $762,660, and for this year it has been estimated at $792,816. The increase of over $19,000 shewn in next year's Estimates is thus explained.

ERNME

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 26TH AUGUST, 1882.

693

8. There is a small increase of $444 in the Audit Department for a copying clerk who is much required, and a coolie to be employed in stamping blank receipts with series of consecutive numbers, a check on fraud that was recommended by a Committee appointed by the Secretary of State to inquire into the Questions of Defalcations in the Colonies.

9. In the Registrar General's Department, the salary and allowance of a passed Cadet who is provisionally attached to this Department until an apportunity occurs for giving him a permanent appointment causes an increase of $1,920.

10. The re-organization of the Establishment of the Supreme Court authorized by the Secretary of State, but hitherto only partially carried out, accounts for an increase of nearly $4,000.

11. In the Medical Establishment it has been found necessary to make larger provision for washing, medicines and provisions, &c., to the extent of $1,800. The upkeep of the Steam-Launch of the Health Officer and Office-rent for that Officer, already voted by the Council, cause an increase of $1,000. On the other hand, this year's Estimates provided $4,000, for a Steam-Launch for the Health Officer which will, in all probability, be paid for this year. This item does not appear therefore in next year's Estimates, which consequently exhibit on the whole a slight decrease under this head.

12. Provision has been made for the salaries of eight additional European Constables who are expected from home. These together with an increase in the good conduct allowances, and of the provision for oil, &c., augment the Estimates by $4,540, to which must be added certain allowances hitherto paid to Captain DEANE and Mr. CREAGH from the Special Fund, which are really transfers and not increases. The total excess shewn by the Police Estimates of next year amounts to $6,220. 13. For the Gaol, the provisional appointment of four additional Turnkeys has already been sanctioned by the Finance Committee. This causes an increase of about $1,400.

14. Under the Head Education, there is a reduction in the Normal School which the Secretary of State directed to be made amounting to $1,408. On the other hand, the increase to Grants-in-Aid is estimated at $2,461. The net increase is therefore only $1,365.

15. The Pension of $7,000 granted to SIR JOHN SMALE has rendered it necessary to increase the amount estimated for Pensions.

16. I have introduced a small increase of $1,000 for laying out the upper part of the Government Gardens immediately below the Robinson Road.

17. Under Light-houses the sum of $2,000 provided hitherto for re-imbursement of the loan from the Special Fund has in accordance with the arrangement which I have already referred to, been omitted from next year's estimates. Miscellaneous Services have been reduced by $2,000. Details of other smaller changes of not sufficient importance to be referred to here, will be seen in a statement that has been prepared by the Acting Colonial Secretary.

18. The contribution to Military Expenditure shews an increase of $2,300 which is owing to the rate of exchange being estimated at 3/9 instead of 3/10.

19. Under the head of Works and Buildings I have provided for the completion of the new Water Police Station, for a new Lunatic Asylum and for the conversion of the Lock into a Civil Hospital, which last two items are revotes. I have also inserted $25,000 on account of a new Central School. The other items do not require any remarks as they are nearly the same as appear in each year's Estimates for upkeep of different public buildings.

20. The Council is requested to vote separately the sums of $100,000 on account of the Tytam. Water Works, and $10,000 for completion of the breakwater at Causeway Bay as these amounts are proposed to be taken from balances.

21. The sum provided for Roads, Streets and Bridges will not I think be found too high. It is $5,700 in excess of the provision for this year, but it must be remembered that the Council has already had to vote a supplementary sum of $6,000 for Road and Street Contingencies. The Acting Surveyor General states that $14,000 is the very lowest sum at which the Streets and Roads out of Victoria can be kept in proper repair.

22. The expenditure on account of Public Works including Roads, Streets and Bridges was, in 1881, $110,417. For this year it has been estimated at $152,050 and for next year I have provided $161,750.

23. The surplus of Revenue over Expenditure exhibited by these estimates is smaller than has been recently provided, but I have every confidence that it will prove sufficient. There is generally a saving under the head of Establishments, as no allowance can be made in preparing the estimates for possible contingencies of officers being absent on leave, when a portion of salary generally lapses to the Treasury.

CASSIA LIGNEA,

(Cinnamomum Cassia, Blume.)

I. INTRODUCTORY REMARKS.

The botanical origin of Chinese Cassia bark-Cassia lignea of commerce-being involved in considerable mystery and uncertainty, and the subject exciting a lively interest in the scientific and commercial worlds, the Right Honourable the Secretary of State for the Colonies, the EARL OF KIMBERLEY, at the instance of Sir JOSEPH D. HOOKER, who, exercising his usual keen interest in scientific subjects and what may appertain to the welfare and advancement of the Empire, was anxious to have the question finally solved, appointed that I should, if possible, visit the Cassia districts and report on the subject. For this purpose I was temporarily spared from my usual duties and proceeded to the Cassia districts up the West River-Sai Kong-in the month of May last.

It is with pleasure that I take this opportunity of expressing my grateful thanks to the repre- sentatives of the houses in Hongkong and Canton of Messrs. RUSSELL & Co., for their kind courtesy in supplying me, before I commenced the journey, with ample samples of Cassia bark, "buds" and leaves, and much valuable information which considerably facilitated the work which I had in hand.

In addition to the information gained, I was enabled to obtain and bring back to Hongkong about 1,700 young cassia plants from the districts of Loting, Taiwu, and Lukpo, a large number of which will be available for distribution to other Colonies for the trial or establishment of them in suitable places where it might be expedient for the cultivation of cassia to be attempted. Like most of the order of Lauraceae, to which the cassia belongs, the seeds must be sown very shortly after they mature or otherwise they rapidly lose their vitality; the season for sowing the seeds having past a little before my arrival in the districts, I was consequently not able to procure fresh seeds, except a very small quantity of a late maturing batch, which were sown in a box the same day they were obtained. They began to germinate at once and from them we have now a small lot of healthy plants.

The period of my visit was timed so that I might be in the districts at the season when the trees were flowering-so as to obtain authentic specimens for the certain identification of the trees, and that I might also witness the operation of obtaining and preparing the bark of the trees.

A complete set of the instruments used in decortication was obtained, and has since been sent to Kew, while a duplicate set is retained for our own establishment.

II. DESCRIPTION OF, AND NOTES ON THE CASSIA TREE.

Bark

Cinnamomum Cassia Blume (Yuk Qwai she). A medium sized, stiff ornamental tree. on old trees about inch thick, burnt umber colour, and almost covered with lichens; bark on six years old trees and branches 1 inch thick lighter in colour than the older bark. Young branches four sided, compressed, and, together with panicles and leafstalks, clothed with fine yellowish down. Leaves opposite on the older and flowering branches 4-6 rarely 10 inches long, and 12 to 24 inches wide, coriaceous, elongate oblong, base slightly acnte, three nerved, smooth and shining above with a slightly sunken network of veins of a light coppery colour (which are very pretty when seen through lens) on a ground of olive green, glaucous beneath-not so apparent in dry as fresh leaves--and very minutely pubescent. Leafstalks three to six lines long, one line thick. Lateral nerves reaching the apex, sunken above in the upper part of the leaf, strongly raised beneath, springing in the upper leaves,

*The largest seen in the Cassia districts was about 40 feet high, with a trunk about 3 feet in circumference, which was said to be 50 years old. This was about 4 miles South West of To Shing.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 26TH AUGUST, 1882.

from the base of the blade, in the lower leaves from 1-4 lines from the base. Panicles axillary and terminal 4-6 inches long, branches in the upper part for about of the length of the raceme with 3-5 sets of branches, dichotomously twice forked, each branchelet bearing, generally, three, but sometimes five flowers. Pedicles 1-3 lines long. Perianth tube 1 line long, segments 1 line long, yellowish green. Stamens and style same length, a little shorter than the segments, all perfect. Staminodia purplish, heart shaped, length of stamens.

Fruit very dark purple, length of stamens. Glands whitish,

Glands whitish, length of stamens. elliptical, 5 lines long, 4 lines broad. The bark, leaves and incipient fruit-"buds" of commerce- taste strongly of cinnamon, the strongest taste being in the "buds," next the leaf peduncles, then the bark, and lastly the leaves. The older the bark, the more pungent the taste.

The above is the description of the only tree which cassia bark, "buds" or leaves of commerce in China, so far as could be ascertained from personal inspection and reports, are obtained from. All the trees seen in the districts of Taiwu, Loting, and Lukpo, and intermediate localities where cassia was grown in smaller quantities, were of this species, nor were there, apparently, distinct varieties of the species in cultivation. The cultivators and other natives were much interrogated as, to whether they knew, or had heard of any other tree which yielded the products under notice and the invariable reply was that there was no other kind. There is therefore, I think, no doubt but that writers who have named other kinds as cassia yielding trees of China have been mistaken or misinformed on the subject. One writer alludes to a tree in terms which partly correspond to the description of Machilus velutina, Champ., another tree belonging to Lauraceae and indigenous to South China. It is quite possible that this tree may have been supposed by a casual observer to yield cassia bark because it is sometimes grown in plantations intermixed with those of Cinnamomum Cassia. The trees are reared, planted, and treated in precisely the same manner as the cassia trees, but the bark is required for a very different use, viz., to supply a glutinous extract which is used to stick together powdered cassia bark and sandal-wood-Santalum album-to form the joss-sticks used for incense. Cinnamomum Burmanni El., which it has been supposed may probably yield "in part the cassia bark of the Canton market does not, I feel sure, supply cassia bark to any extent. I did not see it anywhere cultivated, nor was it seen growing wild in any but very small quantities, and these wild trees bore no signs of having been cut as had the cassia trees; many natives were asked if it was ever used, but, with one exception, all denied that it afforded any cassia bark. The one exception was an old woman, who was cultivating a field of Indian corn close to a few small trees of Cinnamomum Burmanni, and who said that its bark was sometimes, but rarely, used to adulterate the true cassia bark.

Cinnamomum Cassia was not met with anywhere in a wild state, nor could any native be found who knew where it did grow wild. Dr. E. BRETSCHNEIDER says in his "Notes on some Botanical- Questions" that Dr. THOREL states that it grows in a wild state in the forests of Cochin China, about 19° North Latitude.

III. LOCALITIES OF CULTIVATION.

There are three chief districts where the cassia is cultivated viz.-Taiwu, in lat. 23° 34' N., and long. 110° 18′ E., in the Kwangsi province; Lukpo in lat. 23° 6' N., and long. 112° 24′ E; and Loting in lat. 22° 52′ N., and long. 111° 8′ E., both in the Kwangtung province. These are the market towns of the districts but the cassia is cultivated over a large area of country stretching to considerable distances from the towns, the extent of which could not be ascertained owing to the unreliable accounts given by the different people questioned, who either had very vague notions of area, or were disinclined, as they usually are, to give information to foreigners.

Taiwu is about four or five miles from the West river and is reached by a pleasant walk leading over a plain, but the nearest cassia plantations are situated twenty-five or thirty miles further in a southern or south-westerly direction to which there is no communication by river. Taiwu is about 180 miles west of Canton. The Taiwu people said that the area of cultivation was not increasing.

The next most important, if not the most important, or at least tending in that direction, district is the Loting one, commencing at about eight or ten miles distant from the city of Loting. After leaving the West river about eighty miles of the Loting river-the Nam Kong-has to be traversed before reaching the city, and from there the distance to the plantations has to be accomplished overland. One of the largest cultivators said that in this district there were about 1,000,000 maus-(about 52,600 English acres) under cultivation, and that the area was greatly extending every year. The cultivation of cassia has been carried on here for only about twenty-five years, i. e., since the Tai Ping Rebellion, at which time, for the preservation of the plants and protection of them from destruction by the rebels, they were transferred from a district further south, at which it is reported the cultivation of cassia was abandoned when it was commenced at Loting.

The city

The next district is that of Lukpo which is much less important than the other two. of Lukpo is situated on the northern bank of the West river, and the plantations are situated at about 15 miles between the nearest one and the city.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 26TH AUGUST, 1882.

703

In addition to these places there are several small localities near the West river at intermediate places where small patches of cassia are grown, and, as the quantities of bark obtained are too small to send to market towns, it is brought off by small boats and sold to larger boats which carry produce down the river,

About six miles south west of the small town of To Shing, which is situated on the southern bank of the river about 25 miles above the confluence of the Loting and West rivers, there are some plantations, from which, however, no bark has been obtained for two years and no new plantations made for ten, because the low prices which can now be obtained for the bark, do not leave any profit to the producers. This was the only instance which came to my knowledge of the decrease of the trade in cassia production, although it is said that the Java cassia trade, in consequence of the lower prices at which the cassia can there be produced, is cutting out and crippling the China trade.

IV. PROPAGATION.

As before observed, the seeds retain their germinating power for only a very short time after they arrive at maturity, therefore the sites and soil to be used for the reception of the seeds must be in readiness when they begin to ripen, which is said to be in January. The seeds, after they are gathered, are kept in small quantities together, or spread out thinly on a floor or shelf for a week or ten days in a shady place; if placed in large quantities together, they would ferment and thus be injured or destroyed. The seeds may be sown from the beginning of February to the beginning of April as they ripen, at about three inches apart, in drills two inches deep and one foot apart, in beds prepared in the open air, each bed about six feet wide and any desired length; the beds are raised about nine inches above the surrounding ground, and consist of good friable soil without fresh manure, but containing a large amount of humus. The seeds begin to germinate at once and in about three weeks the seedlings appear above the ground. Besides being supplied with sufficient water in dry weather to keep the soil moist, and being kept free from weeds, they require no particular attention until transplanted into their permanent positions in the plantations.

V. ESTABLISHMENT OF PLANTATIONS.

Plantations exist on situations with all aspects, any particular one not, apparently, receiving consideration in preference to others. They are at altitudes of from about 300 to 1,000 feet above sea level, and on slopes of from about 50 to 30 degrees. Plantations were nowhere seen on level ground, in fact so very little level ground exists in the localities of cassia cultivation that, even if wanted, it could not be obtained. The

The very small portions of level ground that there are in the bottoms of small valleys, are used for the cultivation of rice and vegetables. Land carrying the thickest vegetation of grass and ferns-Gleichenia dichotoma chiefly-is selected. Naturally the soil contains a fair quantity of humus for a depth of from six inches to a foot, but the accumulation of vegetable matter is not more than to give the soil a light brown colour; the consistency of the soil is from friableness to hardish compactness. If very dense the vegetation is burnt. The soil is dug to a depth of about one foot and placed in small terraces or steps three feet apart, and of a width varying according to the steepness of the hills, frequently they are not more, sometimes even less, than eighteen inches wide. No manure is used either when the ground is prepared or subsequently.

The plants being in readiness in the seed beds, as described under the heading of propagation, they are transferred to their permanent sites in the plantations during the months of March, April, and May. One and two-year-old trees are used, the former being preferred. They are lifted from the seed beds without balls of earth, and a portion of the long tap-root, which in one-year-old plants is about a foot long-as well as all the leaves except the two top ones, cut off. They

They are then planted. at three feet apart on the newly prepared ground.

At the same time when the new plantations are made, gaps, caused by the deaths of trees in the older plantations, are filled up with. young plants.

VI. CLIMATE.

Cassia cinnamomum being grown in a part of China where Europeans are not settled and where any have rarely visited, and the Chinese themselves not troubling to make and record meteorological observations, it is impossible to give precise information on the climate of the cassia districts, but as the districts are in about the same latitude and only about from 120 to 280 miles west of Hongkong, I have given, in Appendix A., tables of the mean monthly temparature, and the monthly rainfall for ten years-1871-1880-as observed at the Government Civil Hospital of Hongkong. Although

* "86 feet above mean low level of spring tides."

*

704

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 26TH AUGUST, 1882.

Hongkong is an insular station, no doubt the climate very much assimilates to that of the cassia districts, and, therefore, these tables will afford some approximate information as to the climate in which the cassia trees are grown.

Appendix B., gives observations made during a portion of the time when I was on the West

River.

"BUDS" AND LEAVES.

VII. PEELING OF BARK, AND GATHERING OF "BUDS"

Bark. When the trees are about six years old, the first crop of bark is obtained. The season for barking commences in March and continues until the end of May, after which the natives say the bark looses its aroma and is therefore not removed from the trees. The branches, which are about an inch thick, being cut to within a few inches of the ground, are carried to houses or sheds in the vicinity of the plantations. All the small twigs and leaves being cleared off, a large bladed knife, with the cutting edge something like the end of a budding knife, is used to make two longitudinal slits, and three or four incisions, at sixteen inches apart, round the circumference through the bark; the bark is then loosened by passing underneath it a kind of slightly curved horn knife with the two edges slightly sharpened. Pieces of bark sixteen inches long and half the circumference are thus obtained.

The bark, after its removal and while it is still moist with sap, is then laid with the concave side downwards and a small plane passed over it and the epidermis removed. After this operation the bark is left to dry for about twenty-four hours and then tied up in bundles about eighteen inches in diameter and sent in to the merchants' houses in the market towns.

Leaves. The leaves, which are cleared from the branches that are barked, are carefully preserved and dried, and afford by distillation cassia oil. A large quantity of leaves are sent to Canton, where, I was told, the operation of distilling is performed.

Twigs. These are removed from the cut branches at the same time as when the leaves are obtained. They are a marketable commodity for native uses.

Buds. Cassia buds are the immature fruits. They are gathered when about one eighth grown. Buds, and the seeds which are annually required for sowing, are obtained from trees ten years and upwards of age that are left standing at about fifty and a hundred feet apart amongst the trees which are cut down every six years for their bark. These seed-bearing trees are not cut, unless there is a demand for the very thick bark on their trunks, when some of the trees which can be conveniently spared are sacrificed.

VIII. YIELD.

www

The information elicited on this subject was somewhat conflicting, but probably something near the mark is that the yield of the Loting district for 1882 would be 50,000 piculs (one picul 133 lbs.), and that for the Taiwu district 32,000 piculs, which shows that, contrary to what was previously supposed, the Loting district furnishes the largest quantity, or which is perhaps more likely, the latter district is out-stripping the Taiwu district since, as before mentioned, the industry has at a compara- tively recent date been transferred to that place, and at the time when the last estimate was given, twelve years ago, the industry had not had time to develop to its full capabilities. The yield per acre is probably about 11 piculs, which is sold by producers for about $1.70 per picul, i. e., $18.70 per acre, which, as the bark is only obtained once in six years, gives but $3.11 per annum per acre for the bark, but in addition to this a little must be added for the income from the sale of leaves and "buds;" the former, however, would be very small as they only realize about 20 cents per picul when dry, the latter fetch $15 per picul and are a yearly income; but no satisfactory information could be obtained as to the production per acre.

IX. EXPORT AND COMMERCIAL VALUE OF CASSIA.

It has been thought that the "yield is gradually decreasing" in consequence of the "prices of late

years shewing no profit to producers." From the following table of the quantities and values of cassia exported from Canton the above assertion is scarcely borne out, as although the yield in 1881 was much less than in 1879, yet it compares favourably with the past ten years, being higher than in 1871-73-74-75-76-77, and 80, and not much less than in 1872; 1879 seems to have been the best year on record, over 100,000 piculs having been exported. Although the yield does not thus seem

to be decreasing yet the prices have fallen very much; in 1875 they fell to less than one half what they had been for the previous 13 years, and they have not since recovered, but seem rather to be a little decreasing. In spite of these bad times the producers continue to make large annual new plantations, which would seem to indicate that there is still some profit to be made.

There is a small export trade from Pakhoi, but it is so small that it need not be much considered; year it amounted to only 1,798 piculs.

For the returns of the export and value from 1862 to 1869 I am indebted to "Tropical Agricul- ture," and for the remainder to Statistical Returns of the Chinese Imperial Maritime Customs.

No. 2.

NOTES ON THE VEGETATION OF THE WEST RIVER.

The West River proper is not reached until about 20 miles have been traversed from Canton by way of Fatshan along one of the water ways of the great delta. For this distance and the next 15 miles of the West River, .e., as far as the Shui Hing Pass, the land on both sides of the river is alluvial soil well cultivated. The first part has extensive tracts of rice fields surrounded with banks on which are grown litchi, longan, and peach trees, with, at the base of the banks, the water cedar, Glyptostrobus heterophyllus. On approaching Fatshan the mulberry tree is met with in fields where it is grown for silk worm feeding. After passing Fatshan the rice fields are replaced with mulberry trees and bamboos, the land being higher than the river and incapabable of irrigation. On rising ground near the villages there are magnificent patches of arborescent vegetation, consisting of Ficus retusa, F. Wightiana, Fraxinus chinensis, Bombax malabathrum, and bamboos. The soy bean-Soja hispida-hemp, and the ground-nut-Arachis hypogaea-are cultivated on dry sandy soil. At forty miles from Canton the hills approach the river and form the Shui Hing Pass. A few miles to the east of this Pass are the Ting U Shan woods which contain some splendid trees probably upwards of 150 feet high; amongst them were noticed Bischoffia javanica, Cinnamomum parthenoxylon, Sterculia lanceolata, and Pinus sinensis. These woods surround a fine monastery and are protected by the priests. The frutescent vegetation here consists of well known plants that are common in South China. After passing the Shui Hing Pass, the hills again recede and leave a large plain on which, in addition to those plants mentioned as cultivated on the alluvial soil the other side of the Pass, Indian corn,-Zea Mays—is grown in summer, and wheat in winter and spring. Euryale ferox is also grown for the sake of its seeds which are used as food by the natives. After leaving this plain the hills approach the river and leave only a narrow strip on each side for cultivation. On the steep hills are some large patches of Gardenia florida cultivated for its capsules, which furnish a dye used for dying silk. Near to the Gardenia plantations are also some of Machilus velutina, Champ, grown for the sake of its bark, which contains a glutinous substance used in the manufacture of joss sticks, as mentioned in the paper on cassia. Camellia oleifera is grown on barren hills in the vicinity of some villages to supply the growers with oil for cooking purposes and for anointing their heads; it is not grown in sufficien- quantities to sell.

A little above a town called Fung Chun, over one hundred miles from Canton, the narrow strip of land on the south bank of the river is planted with a forest of the Chan Ko Chuk bamboo which is extensively used for boat poles and scaffolding. These plantations continued, with but slight inter- ruptions, for about the next 100 miles.

On both sides of the river the country is very mountainous, the hills rising from 300 to 2,000 feet, and, with the exception of the level strips bordering the river, and a few patches on the hills of Gardenia, Machilus, tea plants, upland rice, and pumpkins, are entirely destitute of cultivation. There is very little grass on the hills, but ferns-Gleichenia dichotoma--abound and cover the ground in every direction. The fern is cut and dried and used extensively for fuel, even the limestone in the limet kilns, which are numerous, is burnt with this fuel only.

No forests are seen anywhere, but the Chinese are very careful to keep up, by annual sowing and planting, a stock of firewood, which, however, is confined to the common pine, Pinus sinensis, and the trees of this, instead of presenting the appearance of plantations well filled with handsome trees, are planted irregularly and thinly over the hills, and have, in most cases, but a miserable, stunted, appearance, in consequence of the custom of continually cutting off the branches as they are required for fuel. Far up the river the Cunninghamia sinensis is found sparingly mixed with the pines, but this, also, never seems to attain a great size in the parts visited. Cunninghamia however, I was told, exists in forests farther north, and this report seemed confirmed by the enormous rafts of China fir logs which were being floated down the river. The indigenous tree and shrub vegetation is continually destroyed as it attempts to grow by the deplorable custom of the Chinese in cutting down every branch and sapling for firewood, the Pinus sinensis being the only tree which they attempt to renew by planting. Round the villages and temples the trees are protected, and these examples, especially, the Ting U Shan woods, demonstrate the possibility of the Chinese mountainous districts producing splendid forests of a great variety of trees if they were properly conserved. No proper system of forestry seems to exist anywhere, the only efforts in that direction being the promiscuous planting and cutting of pines for firewood, this being done in the same way as on the mainland and islands in the vicinity of Hongkong, any one being allowed to plant where he likes, and the Government exer- cising no control over the people in either planting or cutting down.

Fruit trees are only grown in small numbers dotted about near the houses, except the jujube--- Zizyphus Jujuba-of which a great many orchards were seen; they were on the level ground near the In addition to these one orchard river, and the trees were planted at distances of about 20 feet apart. of litchis on a hillside was seen.

NOTICE.

In the event of bad weather being apprehended by this Department, a black drum will be hoisted at the Office Flagstaff. A similar signal will be hoisted and a gun will be fired from the Police Hulk.

The usual signs of approaching bad weather are, a falling Barometer, with high Thermoneter, sultriness of the atmosphere, and wildness and discoloration of the clouds. Should these symp- toms exist and the wind be anywhere between North-Westerly and North-Easterly, a typhoon of a severe type may be looked for.

If there are the same indications of bad weather with the wind between South-Easterly and South- Westerly, a typhoon may be known to be in the neighbourhood, but not likely to be severely felt at Hongkong.

This signal is not to be considered as relieving Masters of ships from their proper responsibilities. The signal is intended only as calling the attention of the Mercantile Marine to any change of weather which the undersigned is expecting.

Entering the channel from seaward,

red buoys will be found on the

starboard side of the channel, and

must be left on the starboard hand

by vessels passing in.

Entering the channel from seaward,

black buoys will be found on the

port side of the channel, and must

be left on the port hand by vessels passing in.

Buoys painted in red and black hori-

zontal bands will be found in the fairway, and should be passed close-

to.

Buoys painted in red and black ver-

tical stripes will be found on the ends of spits, and the outer and

inner extremes. of banks, shoals,

or extensive reefs, where there is a navigable channel on either side.

Buoys painted in red and black chequers will be used to mark rocks

in the open sea, also to mark ob-

structions of small extent having

channels on either side of them.

When used for the latter purpose,

they will be placed to seaward of the danger.

When two chequered buoys of these colours are used to mark an ob- struction, the red and white one is to mark the starboard side of the

channel, and must be left on the

starboard hand by vessels passing

in; and the black and white one is

to mark the port side of the chan-

nel, and must be left on the port hand by vessels passing in.

Wreck Buoys, Wrecks will in all cases be marked by green buoys, having the word

WRECK painted on them in white

letters, and when a wreck lies in

the open sea or in a position where

there is a navigable channel with

plenty of room on either side of it,

the buoy will carry no other dis-

tinguishing mark, and will in every

such case be placed to seaward of

the wreck.

Wreck buoys marked with an even number must be left on the

starboard hand by vessels entering from the sea.

Wreck buoys marked with an odd number must be left on the

port hand by vessels entering from the sea.

The numbers on wreck buoys

will be painted in white, and placed above the word WRECK.

簡易

Note.-All other distinguishing marks to buoys will be in addition to the foregoing, and where such are employed, a particular description of the same will in each case be given in the published List.

Each buoy will have an iron plate fastened on its outside, in some convenient place above the water- line, with the name of its district and station as given in the published List stamped thereon in English and Chinese, to insure its identification if found adrift.

Entering the channel from seaward,

red buoys will be found on the

starboard side of the channel, and

must be left on the starboard hand

by vessels passing in.

Entering the channel from seaward,

black buoys will be found on the

port side of the channel, and must

be left on the port hand by vessels passing in.

Buoys painted in red and black hori-

tical stripes will be found on the ends of spits, and the outer and

inner extremes. of banks, shoals,

or extensive reefs, where there is a navigable channel on either side.

Buoys painted in red and black chequers will be used to mark rocks

in the open sea, also to mark ob-

structions of small extent having

channels on either side of them.

When used for the latter purpose,

they will be placed to seaward of the danger.

When two chequered buoys of these colours are used to mark an ob- struction, the red and white one is to mark the starboard side of the

channel, and must be left on the

starboard hand by vessels passing

in; and the black and white one is

to mark the port side of the chan-

nel, and must be left on the port hand by vessels passing in.

Wreck Buoys, Wrecks will in all cases be marked by green buoys, having the word

WRECK painted on them in white

letters, and when a wreck lies in

the open sea or in a position where

there is a navigable channel with

plenty of room on either side of it,

the buoy will carry no other dis-

tinguishing mark, and will in every

such case be placed to seaward of

the wreck.

Wreck buoys marked with an even number must be left on the

starboard hand by vessels entering from the sea.

Wreck buoys marked with an odd number must be left on the

port hand by vessels entering from the sea.

The numbers on wreck buoys

will be painted in white, and placed above the word WRECK.

簡易

Note.-All other distinguishing marks to buoys will be in addition to the foregoing, and where such are employed, a particular description of the same will in each case be given in the published List.

Each buoy will have an iron plate fastened on its outside, in some convenient place above the water- line, with the name of its district and station as given in the published List stamped thereon in English and Chinese, to insure its identification if found adrift.

Directions and Explanations

Entering the channel from seaward, red beacons will be found on the starboard side of the channel, and must be left on the starboard hand by vessels passing in.

Entering the channel from seaward, black beacons will be found on the port side of the channel, and must

be left on the port hand by vessels passing in.

Beacons painted in red and black vertical stripes will be used to mark

spits and the outer and inner ex- tremities of banks, shoals, or ex- tensive reefs, where there is a na- vigable channel on either side.

Beacons painted in red and black chequers will be used to mark rocks in the open sea, also to mark rocks

of small extent having channels

on either side of them.

When two chequered beacons of these

colours are used to mark a rock or reef, the red and white one is to mark the starboard side of the channel, and must be left on the starboard hand by vessels passing in; and the black and white one is to mark the port side of the channel, and must be left on the port hand by vessels passing in.

-

Note. It is to be understood that the above rules for paint-

ing beacons apply in each

case to the body of the When a bea-

structure.

con which is painted a single colour, either black or red, is surmounted by a distinguishing mark, such mark may be painted the same colour as the body of the beacon or with that colour and white

combined, or white alone. When the body of a beacon

is painted in two colours,

the same colours only

may be used to paint the mark by which it is sur- mounted. Whenever a distinguishing mark is used, a particular descrip- tion of it will be given in the published List. Beacons on shore, to enable bear- ings to be taken or to give lines of direction for crossing bars or en- tering rivers, harbours, &c., are to

be painted so as to make them as conspicuous as possible. Red, black, and white are the only co- lours to be used, and a particular description of such marks will be given in the published List.

NOTICE.

In the event of bad weather being apprehended by this Department, a black drum will be hoisted at the Office Flagstaff. A similar signal will be hoisted and a gun will be fired from the Police Hulk.

The usual signs of approaching bad weather are, a falling Barometer, with high Thermometer, sultriness of the atmosphere, and wildness and discoloration of the clouds. Should these symp- toms exist and the wind be anywhere between North-Westerly and North-Easterly, a typhoon nf a severe type may be looked for.

If there are the same indications of bad weather with the wind between South-Easterly and South- Westerly, a typhoon may be known to be in the neighbourhood, but not likely to be severely felt at Hongkong.

This signal is not to be considered as relieving Masters of ships from their proper responsibilities. The signal is intended only as calling the attention of the Mercantile Marine to any change of weather which the undersigned is expecting.

BE

E it enacted by the Governor of Hongkong, with the

advice of the Legislative Council thereof, as follows:-

section:-

XII. It shall be lawful for the Company to make issue and circulate Bills and Notes of the Company payable to Bearer on demand at the place of issue and in Coin lawfully current at such place, and to re-issue the same from the place at which the same were originally issued.

Without prejudice to the conditional privilege now possessed by the Company of issuing and re- issuing from the Head Office a limited number of Notes of smaller amount subject to their uncon- ditional withdrawal from circulation should the Government of the Colony decide to issue Small Notes of lower denomination than $5. No such Bills or Notes shall hereafter be issued for any other sum than the sum of Five dollars or some multiple of such sum, or other equivalent amount: All such Bills or Notes issued in

any

y Colony or other place from any establishment of the Com- pany not being the principal establishment of the Company in such Colony or place shall be made payable not only at the establishment from which the same were issued but also at the principal establishment of the Company in such Colony or place.

Nothing herein contained shall exempt the Company from the operation of any existing or future laws restricting or regulating the issue of Notes in the Colony or iu any place outside the Colony where they have or may hereafter with such consent as aforesaid establish Banks or Branch Banks.

The Shareholders of the Company shall be subject to unlimited liability in respect of all or any such issues or issue of Bills or Notes, and in case the general Assets of the Company are, in the event of the Company being wound up, in- sufficient to satisfy the claims of both the Note- holders and the general Creditors, then the Share- holders of the Company after satisfying the re- maining demands of the Note-holders shall be liable to contribute towards payment of the debts of the general Creditors a sum equal to the amount received by the Note-holders out of the general Assets of the Company.

For the purposes of this section the expression "the general Assets of the Company" means the funds available for payment of the general Cre- ditors as well as the Note-holders;

and by substituting for section 13 the following section:-

XIII. The total amount of the Bills and Notes of the Company payable to bearer on demand actually in circulation shall not at any time exceed the amount of the Capital of the Company actually paid up, and there shall be kept by each establish- ment of the Company an amount of coin and bul- lion equal to one-third at least of such of the said Bills and Notes as were issued from such esta- blishment and are for the time being in circulation.

2. This Ordinance shail not come into operation until Her Majesty's confirmation of the same is proclaimed by the Governor.

REGULATIONS FOR THE HONGKONG FIRE BRIGADE MADE BY THE GOVERNOR IN COUNCIL UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF ORDINANCE 4 OF 1868.

Charge of Brigade.

1. In the absence of the Superintendent, the Senior Assistant Superintendent will command the Brigade; and in the absence of the Superintendents, the Foremen will take charge according to seniority.

Fire Alarm

2.—On the alarm of Fire, the bell will be rung without delay, first with a quick alarm for five minutes-to be followed by single, double, or treble beats to denote the situation of the Fire: one stroke indicating the Eastern District, Eastward of Murray Barracks; two, the Central, from Murray Barracks to the Harbour Office; and three, the Western District.

(a.) The Foremen and Pioneers will at once proceed to the Fire and prepare for the arrival of the Engines; they must carefully examine the premises on Fire and the surrounding buildings and obtain all possible information as to the water supply, with the view to the most effective working of the Fire Engines. They should use every means in their power to exclude all avoidable currents of air from the Fire, and ascertain whether there are any communications with the adjoining houses by the roof, gable, or otherwise. (b.) The Engine Drivers of Steam Engines will immediately light fires in the Engines,* and all Members of the Brigade stationed on the Central District will hasten to the Central Fire Brigade Station to assist in taking the Engines to the Fire; but those men who are in charge of Hose Reels, Coal Carts, Ladders, Supply Carts, &c., must on no account neglect those duties which they have been specially appointed to perform.

Arrival of Engines at Fires.

3. On the arrival of the Engines, the Assistant Foremen and the Assistant Engine Drivers will at once connect the Delivery Hoses with the Engines, and then run them out towards the Fire as directed by the Superintendents or Foremen. After this, the Suction Hose will be carefully connected, and the Assistant Engine Driver will see that it is properly screwed home. It must always be borne in mind that the shorter the Suction Hose the greater is the

power obtained.

(a.) The Hosemen attached to each Engine will see that the Hose is laid on in as straight a line as practicable without twists, sharp turns, or unnecessary bends; they must, from time to time, observe the position of the Hose Reel, so that they may be always prepared to replace promptly any length which may be burst or otherwise damaged.

Foremen.

4.-Foremen and Assistant Foremen are expected to make themselves acquainted with the water system of Victoria (a plan of which will be supplied), to know the position of Main Plugs in all parts of the town, and also the tanks from which they are supplied. They should be able to give the men

*This is to be considered discretionary when the Fire is known to be at a considerable distance from the Station,

under them instructions on all points relating to their duty, such as connecting, disconnecting, and running out Hose, and also as to the position of Main Plugs, Wells, and other sources of water supply. It is their duty to ascertain the cause of Fire in each case, and to report the same to the Superintendent; also to observe the conduct of the Officers and Men under them, and to report any irregularity on their part without delay.

*

(a.) When on duty at a Fire, they must see that the Men at the branch are placed in such a position that the stream may actually strike the burning materials. Playing at random through a window should be avoided, whenever it is possible to obtain a better position, either by entering the house which is on fire, by ascending the roof of an adjoining building, or otherwise. They should see that a safe retreat is kept open for the Men at the branch, and that those working Manual Engines are not exposed to unnecessary danger.

Engine Drivers.

5.-Engine Drivers and Assistant Engine Drivers should be thoroughly acquainted with the water system, and should know where a supply of fresh or sea water could most readily be obtained in any part of the town.

(a.) They will be held responsible that the Coal Carts, Hose Reels, Supply Carts, Ladders, &c., are at all times ready for use, and that these, together with a sufficient supply of Hose, and other material, accompany the Engine to which they are attached, to the Fire. (b.) In moving the Engines, they must be most careful that no injury is done to the Hose

of other Brigades.

(c.) They are to carry out the orders of the Engineer, and are on no account to disconnect any portion of the Machinery without his permission, unless on an emergency they be ordered to do so by one of the Superintendents.

Firemen and other Members of the Fire Brigade.

6. Without the permission of one of the Superintendents, no Fireman or other Member of the Brigade is, while on duty, to receive any refreshment whatever, except that which will, when necessary, be supplied at the Government expense.

(a.) The duties of Firemen being different from those of Police Constables, the Senior Officer present may, at his discretion, allow the Men to smoke after the Fire has been exten- guished, provided they are not actively engaged.

(b.) Members of the Brigade are not to receive orders from any one except their own Officers. They should always be respectful towards those with whom they are brought in contact, and afford every assistance in their power to Members of other Fire Brigades.

(c.) As the reputation of the Brigade depends, in a great measure, upon the behaviour of the Firemen, any case of incivility or disrespect will be considered to disqualify them for the post.

Out-Stations.

7.—In the Out-Stations, where there are no Officers of the Brigade, the Police Inspector may take charge of the Engine in the event of a Fire. At other times, the care of the Engine and other Fire Brigade material will rest with the Fireman, who will see that the rules here laid down for work- ing the Engines are observed. In the Eastern and Western Districts of Victoria, also, the Senior Firemen will have charge of the Engines and other Fire Brigade equipment.

Engineer.

8.-The Engineer must attend all Fires and all Inspections. He should, on the first day of each month, send to the Superintendent a Report, showing the condition of each of the Hand and Steam Engines stationed in Victoria, the repairs or alteration's effected during the month, and those which he considers still necessary.

(a.) He is expected to instruct the Engine Drivers and Assistant Engine Drivers in their duties, and to supervise their work; and he should bring any disobedience or inattention on their part at once to the notice of the Superintendent.

(b.) He will test the boilers of all the Steam Engines of the Brigade once every six months under hydraulic pressure equal to at least fifty per centum more than that used at Fires, and report having done so to the Superintendent, in writing.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 16TH SEPTEMBER, 1882.

Firemen's Equipment.

9.-Firemen will be supplied with the following Articles of Clothing every two years :-

1 Tunic.

1 Pair Trowsers.

1 Cap or Hat.

(c.) Watchmen and Stokers, while on duty, must at all times be neatly dressed in uniform. The man on the Tower will strike the hours and half hours by the ships' bells. He must keep a strict look-out and ring the alarm (vide Sec. 2), without delay, should he see a Fire in any part of Victoria. In doubtful cases, or in the event of fire on board ship, or in British Kau-lung, he will call the Engine Driver without delay and be guided by his instructions.

(d.) The Stoker on duty in the Central Station will remain in the Engine room, and the

Watchman will be responsible for the rest of the building.

SALE OF THE OPIUM FARM.

Notice is hereby given, that Tenders for the Privilege of Preparing and selling Prepared Opium within the Colony for the term of one, two, or three years from the 1st of March, 1883, under the provisions of Ordinance No. 2 of 1858, No. 1 of 1879, and No. 7 of 1879, will be received at this Office until Noon on Wednesday, the 18th October, 1882.

Each Tender should specify the monthly pay-

ment offered for the period above-mentioned.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.-No. 377.

The following finding of a Marine Court appointed to enquire into the loss of the British Steamer Hongkong, having been confirmed by His Excellency the Administrator, is published for general

information.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 20th September, 1882.

FREDERICK Stewart,

Acting Colonial Secretary.

FINDING.

We find that the British Steam-ship Hongkong, Official No. 85,077, JOHN BIDEN FRYER, Number of whose Certificate of Competency is 95,926, Master, was totally lost on a rock lying in the fairway, a little North from between Long-yit and Double-yit at the Southern entrance of the Haitan Straits.

We find that the Chart by which the Hongkong was navigated (Admiralty 1985 corrected to January 1879) had not this rock marked on it.

We find there was an experienced Chinese Pilot on board, but the Court has not been able to take his evidence as he left the vessel soon after she was lost, and has not been seen since.

We find that the rock on which the Hongkong was lost, was surveyed by Lieut. and Commander A. CARPENTER of H.M.S. Magpie in March last, and that a description of it was published in the Hongkong Government Gazette on the 1st April following.

We are of opinion that no blame is to be attached to the Master of the Hongkong for the loss of that ship.

The Court is of opinion that Vendors of Charts should be careful in keeping their Charts corrected before selling them.

Given under our hands at Hongkong, this Twelfth day of September, 1882.

sion of the Health Officer and observing such precautions as the Health Officer may require.

And whereas by the Merchant Shipping Act, 1876, it is enacted that "When Her Majesty has power under the Merchant Shipping Act, 1854, or any Act passed or hereafter to be passed amending "the same, to make an Order in Council, it shall be lawful for Her Majesty from time to time, to "make such Order in Council, and by Order in Council to revoke, alter, or add to any Order so "made.'

And whereas it was made to appear to Her Majesty that the rules concerning the measurement of tonnage of merchant ships now in force under "The Merchant Shipping Act, 1854," had been adopted in Sweden by the Government of His Majesty the King of Sweden and Norway, and came into force in Sweden on the 1st day of April 1875:

And whereas it was subsequently made to appear to Her Majesty that the said rules concerning the measurement of tonnage of the merchant ships of Sweden had been as regards vessels propelled by steam or any other power requiring engine room, modified by the introduction thereinto" of a slight difference in the mode of estimating the allowance for engine room and that the same came into force in Sweden on the 1st day of April 1882 :

And whereas by Order in Council dated the 17th day of March 1875, and the 3rd day of May, 1882, Her Majesty was pleased, by and with the advice of Her Privy Council, to direct :

1. That the ships of Sweden, the certificates of Swedish nationality and registry of which are dated on and after the first day of April one thousand eight hundred and seventy-five, should be deemed to be of the tonnage described in the said certificates of Swedish nationality and registry:

2. That the ships of Sweden which are propelled by steam or any other power requiring engine room the measurement whereof shall after the 1st day of April 1882, have been ascertained and described on the certificates of registry or other national papers of such steam ships testified by the date thereof should be deemed to be of the tonnage described in such certifi- cate of registry or other national papers.

And whereas it has been made to appear to Her Majesty that the said modifications introduced into the said rules for the measurement of Swedish steam ships came into force on the 1st day of April 1881 as regards steam ships measured or remeasured after that date:

And whereas it has been made to appear desirable to Her Majesty that the provisions of the said recited Order in Council of the 3rd May 1882 shall be made applicable to Swedish steam ships regis- tered on or after the said 1st day of April 1881, and that the said recited Orders in Council of the 17th day of March 1875 and the 3rd day of May 1882, should be revoked and a new Order in Council made and substituted in lieu thereof:

NOW, THEREFORE, Her Majesty, in virtue of the powers vested in Her by the said recited Acts, by and with the advice of Her Privy Council is pleased to direct that the said recited Orders in Council of the 17th March 1875 and the 3rd day of May 1882, shall be and the same are hereby revoked and in lien thereof and in substitution therefor Her Majesty is hereby pleased, by and with the advice of Her Privy Council, to direct as follows:

1. As regards sailing ships: that merchant sailing ships belonging to Sweden the measurement whereof, on or after the said 1st day of April 1875, has been ascertained and denoted in the certificates of registry or other national papers of such sailing ships, testified by the date thereof, shall be deemed to be of the tonnage denoted in such certificates of registry or other national papers

in the same manner, and to the same extent, and for the same purpose, in, to, and for which the tonnage denoted in the certificate of registry of British sailing ships is deemed to be the tonnage of such ships.

2. As regards steam ships: that merchant ships belonging to Sweden which are propelled by steam, or any other power requiring engine room, the measurement whereof on or after the said 1st day of April 1881, has been ascertained and denoted in the certificates of registry or other national papers of such steam ships, testified by the dates thereof, shall be deemed to be of the tonnage denoted in such certificates of registry or other national papers in the same manner, and to the same extent, and for the same purpose, in, to, and for which the tonnage denoted in the certificate of registry of British ships is deemed to be the tonnage of such ships; provided nevertheless, that if the owner or master of any such Swedish steam ship desires the deduction for engine room in such ship to be estimated under the rules for engine room measurement and deduction applicable to British ships, instead of under the Swedish rules, the engine room shall be measured and the deduction calculated according to the British rules, and that in the event of the net registered tonnage of such steam ships, estimated under the British rules, being denoted in the said certificates of registry or other national papers, the same shall be deemed to be of the tonnage so denoted therein.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 18th November, 1882.

FINDING.

1. We find that the British Steam-ship Paladin, Official No. 68,001, of Glasgow, of which FRANCIS PHILIP AUBIN, Number of whose Certificate of Competency is 03,060, was the Master, was totally lost on the 23rd October, 1882, on the North Shoal Paracel's Group China Sea.

2. We find that the Master, FRANCIS PHILIP AUBIN, did not shew that Care and Caution in the Navigation of his ship, which he should have done, and that the loss of the Ship is due to the imprudent Courses the Ship was steered after 3 P.M., of the 22nd October last.

3. We adjudge that the Certificate of Competency of FRANCIS PHILIP AUBIN, No. 03,060 be suspended for four months from this date.

The Court desire to bring to the favourable Notice of this Government the very great kindness shewn to the Crew and Passengers of the Paladin, by the Tao Tai at Sahma, the Mandarin on board, and Captain CALDER of the Chinese Gunboat Shui Tsing.

FINDING.

1. We find that the British Steam-ship Paladin, Official No. 68,001, of Glasgow, of which FRANCIS PHILIP AUBIN, Number of whose Certificate of Competency is 03,060, was the Master, was totally lost on the 23rd October, 1882, on the North Shoal Paracel's Group China Sea.

2. We find that the Master, FRANCIS PHILIP AUBIN, did not shew that Care and Caution in the Navigation of his ship, which he should have done, and that the loss of the Ship is due to the imprudent Courses the Ship was steered after 3 P.M., of the 22nd October last.

3. We adjudge that the Certificate of Competency of FRANCIS PHILIP AUBIN, No. 03,060 be suspended for four months from this date.

The Court desire to bring to the favourable Notice of this Government the very great kindness shewn to the Crew and Passengers of the Paladin, by the Tao Tai at Sahma, the Mandarin on board, and Captain CALDER of the Chinese Gunboat Shui Tsing.

It has been the well-known rule of the markets

that the holders by the month have no interest

Nevertheless it has come out that persons have been subletting contrary to the law, and it is now again clearly made known to all that on the death of any person who has a shop, lán or stall, such shop, lán or stall becomes vacant, and the Government will dispose of it by tender. There may be an exceptional case where a holder has paid a premium, and died soon after, in which the Government may consider the claims of his wife and children.

HONGKONG, 10th November, 1882.

SIR, The attention of the Committee of this Chamber has been drawn to the following statements reported to have been made, in the course of an address recently delivered at Nottingham, by Sir JOHN POPE HENNESSY before the Social Science Congress

(C

"In the little Colony under my government one million Sterling changes hands every month in "the article of Opium. But, with commercial activity and trade profits, there comes an increase of "crime from Opium, from its consumption, and from its smuggling. Hongkong wages a chronic Opium war on a small scale with China. A desperate class of men, the Opium smugglers, make "the Colony the base of their operations; they purchase cannon and ammunition there, they fit out heavily armed junks, and engage within sight of the Island in naval battles with the Revenue "Cruisers of the Emperor of China. Sometimes the Emperor's revenue officers are killed, sometimes "the smugglers. Not unfrequently wounded men of both sides are brought into the Colony. All "this gives rise to a class of crime difficult for the Governor to repress, difficult on account of the "influence of those who profit by it whether they are local traders or the financiers of a Viceroy."

66

I need hardly say that the picture thus sensationally drawn offers a representation so grossly exaggerated of the relations which exist between the, for the most part, law-abiding population of this Island and the Authorities of the neighbouring mainland, and of the state of things generally prevailing in these waters as to lead to inferences in the public mind of the United Kingdom wholly untrue and likely to seriously damage and injuriously affect the interest of the Colony.

It is the intention of the Committee to address the London Chamber of Commerce on this subject and I shall feel greatly obliged if His Excellency the Administrator would assist the Committee to rebut the injurious statements which have been so publicly set forth against the character of the Colony by causing official returns to be made to the Chamber of any reports from the Harbour Master, or Authorities of Police, or other information in the possession of the Colonial Government bearing upon the fitting out in this Harbour of heavily armed junks for the purpose of smuggling or carrying on a naval or piratical war with the Empire of China; also, of any reports or information showing the cases in which naval battles between such junks or other vessels leaving these waters and the Revenue Cruisers of the Chinese Government have occurred during the last six years comprising the term of Sir JOHN POPE HENNESSY'S Government within sight of the Island or in its neighbourhood, and of the number of men wounded in such encounters during the same period who have been brought to these shores, or of the instances in which, so far as is known to the Colonial Authorities, smugglers or Revenue Officers have been killed in the frequent affrays which are alleged to have taken place.

The Committee have been informed that the Honourable Mr. RUSSELL as Registrar General has furnished the Colonial Government with statistical information showing the disposition and the portion probably smuggled into China of Opium landed here, and it would greatly promote the object which the Committee has in view if His Excellency the Administrator would place Mr. RUSSELL'S report, or an abstract of it sufficient for the purpose, at the disposal of the Chamber.

Extract from a Report by the Colonial Treasurer and Registrar General, dated 24th October, 1882.

In 1868, Sir THOMAS WADE said that "by the contraband trade of junks frequenting Hongkong "and Macao, the Customs Revenue is defrauded in import and export duties little less than 1,000,000 "taels per annum." Revision of Tientsin Treaty China No. 5, (1871), page 460.

The Governor states that "the Hongkong Government gets at present $205,000 per annum from the Opium Farm, which is practically levying an ad valorem tax on it of more than 100 per cent. "to the Consumers," and that he agrees "with Sir THOMAS WADE that, by the Opium smuggling from Hongkong into China, the Government of Chira loses at least a million of taels of revenue per annum.” (See H.M.'s Colonial Possessions C. 3094 of 1881.)

66

(6

Putting aside the disparity in the Estimates of the amount of smuggling, there can be no doubt but the geographical position of the Island does afford a basis of operations, and that a considerable amount does exist. The undersigned, however, ventures with all respect to point out that a compa- rison of the figures given by Sir THOMAS WADE, on page 3 of Command paper 2716, China, No. 2, (1880), shows that not more than 3.357 piculs of Opium (leaving out Macao which takes up a large quantity) can be smuggled into China from Hongkong. The revenue on that in 1876, would have been less than $300,000. In 1875, there were left at Hongkong 21,670 piculs of the whole import.

906

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 9TH DECEMBER, 1882.

In the financial years 1875-1876, the Hoppo admitted collecting duty on what Sir THOMAS WADE estimates piculs. 10,813 of that amount. Sir THOMAS WADE also allows 7,500 piculs for Hongkong boiling for export and local use, whilst the Governor's figures would lead to the conclusion that only 340 chests were boiled or prepared here. His Excellency states that the payment of the tax by the Opium Farmer of $205,000 is an ad valorem tax of more than 100 per cent., .e. the value of the Opium used is at the most $205,000 or equal about 340 piculs. The capital of the last Company was $1,400,000, and, as a first return, shareholders got 12 per cent. interest on the Capital.

HARBOUR DEpartment, HONGKONG, 13th November, 1882.

SIR,-In compliance with your directions of the 11th instant, I have the honour to enclose a Return of the cases brought before the Marine Court since April, 1877.

The Return will show the class of vessels employed in Opium smuggling, together with their crews and armament, but it must be borne in mind that all junks, whether smuggling or trading, are armed as are the vessels in this Return.

The vessels employed as smugglers have for some time been fast pulling boats which can creep along the shore unobserved, and if they are seen, the crews are enabled to land and escape with their

cargoes.

I may remark that none of the vessels engaged in smuggling are regularly employed as such. If a man is desirous of smuggling Opium, he hires any vessel that he can get.

In the enclosed Return the last case mentioned is one that came before two Magistrates, the Honourable NG CHOY and myself, and will show the class of craft employed. The Offender was convicted and his cargo and vessel were ordered to be forfeited--Sub-section 14, Section 38 of Ordinance 8 of 1879. The owner of the Opium appealed to the Supreme Court against this decision, and the Magistrates' finding was reversed, as the vessel was not held to be a "junk or seagoing vessel," and therefore did not come within the meaning of the Ordinance.

VICTORIA, HONGKONG, 21st June, 1877.

SIR,-As I understand that His Excellency the Governor has under consideration the present state of the contraband trade in Salt and Opium between this Colony and China, I take the liberty of bringing to His Excellency's notice an aspect in this traffic which, although conspicuous from a Police point of view, may have escaped the notice of Officers connected with other Departments who have reported on the subject. His Excellency is doubtless aware that, beside the considerable business done in these articles by the ordinary traders, wholesale smuggling is carried on by vessels, constructed and equipped expressly for running the blockade of Revenue Cruisers, with Salt and Opium.

2. These vessels are built for fast sailing and are invariably well armed, and when unable to escape by flight, they offer a desperate resistance to Revenue Junks. Naval engagements of this description have been witnessed from the shores of this Colony and smugglers, when worsted in the encounter, have been known to fly to our waters for protection. A case of this sort occurred in November last outside the Kap Shui Mun pass, in which three or four junks, after exchanging fire for some time with the steamer Ping Chao Hai, sought refuge in this harbour, where they lay for several days in order to recover from the damage which men and boats had sustained in the engagement. No application for the rendition of criminals of this class has ever been made, while, under the protection of the British flag, they take but little pains to disguise their real character. Their boats may be readily distinguished from the ordinary trader by the physical as well as the numerical strength of the crew, and they are invariably well known to the boat population in the harbours they usually frequent.

3. From a Police stand-point the presence of a fleet of these vessels in the Colonial Waters is by no means desirable. The construction and expensive equipment which prevents them from success- fully competing in legitimate trade. peculiarly fits them for piracy as well as smuggling (when increased competition, or other causes, renders their ordinary business less profitable than usual). A class of men, trained up as these are in the open violation of their own laws, can hardly be expected to show much respect to those of other countries.

A BILL

ENTITLED

An Ordinance enacted by the Governor of Hong- kong, with the advice of the Legislative Coun- cil thereof, to consolidate and amend the law of Distresses for Rent.

WE

HEREAS it is expedient to consolidate and amend the law of Distresses for Rent: Be it enacted by the Governor of Hongkong, with the advice of the Legisla- tive Council thereof, as follows:—

PART I.

1. The Supreme Court shall have jurisdiction to issue warrants of distress for arrears of rent in all cases, without respect to the value of the property on which the rent is to be levied, and without respect to the amount of rent to be levied.

2. No distress shall be levied for arrears of rent except under the provisions of this Ordinance; and any person, except the Bailiffs and officers acting under this Ordinance, levying or attempting to levy any such distress shall, on conviction before a Magistrate, be liable to a fine not ex- ceeding one hundred dollars, or to simple imprisonment for a term not exceeding three months in addition to any other liability he may have incurred by his proceedings.

3. The Bailiffs of the Court shall be employed under the provisions of this Ordinance.

The salaries, allowances and expenses for the Bailiffs, and other officers employed under this Ordinance, shall be paid out of the general Revenue of the Colony; and all fees collected under this Ordinance for services by such Bailiffs and officers, shall be paid into the General Revenue of the Colony.

4. No fees shall be taken or demanded for such distresses, except those allowed by this Ordinance, as set out in Sche- dule A.

5. No warrants shall be issued in any case for arrears of rent due for more than twelve months at the time of the application.

PART II.

Of the making of Distresses.

6. Any person claiming to be entitled to arrears of rent, or his duly constituted attorney or agent may apply, for such warrant as is hereinafter mentioned.

7. The powers of attorneys and agents authorized to levy distresses, may be either general or for the particular case; and shall be exempt from stamp duty, if confined solely to the purpose of giving authority to distrain for rent under this Ordinance. Such powers may be in the form in Sche- dule F or to the like effect.

8. Every such application for a warrant shall be support- ed by an affidavit or declaration which may be according to the form contained in Schedule B or to the like effect; such affidavits or declarations may be sworn or declared to in like. manner as other affidavits or declarations in the Supreme Court.

9. Warrants according to the form in Schedule C or to the like effect may be issued by a Judge of the Supreme Court or in the absence of any Judge from the Court House by the Registrar or Deputy Registrar returnable within six days addressed to any one of the Bailiffs of the Court.

10. The Judge, Registrar, or Deputy Registrar to whom application is made, may upon examination of the persons applying for such warrants, decline to issue the same.

11. If a Judge declines to issue such warrant, application may be made to the full Court as provided in cases under paragraph 12 of the Supreme Court Reconstitution Ordi- nance. If the Registrar or Deputy Registrar déclines to do so, application may be made to a Judge in the first instance. The Deputy Registrar may, however, always refer the matter to the Registrar upon any application to such De- puty Registrar.

12. Every distress under this Ordinance shall be made after sunrise and before sunset, and not at any other time except by special leave of the Court or a Judge.

13. In pursuance of the warrant aforesaid, the Bailiff shall seize the moveable property found in or upon the house or premises mentioned in the warrant, and in the apparent possession of the person from whom the rent is claimed (hereinafter called the debtor), or such part thereof as may, in the Bailiff's judgment, be sufficient to cover the amount of the said rent, together with the costs of the said distress.

(9.) Goods delivered to a person exercising a public trade, to be carried, wrought, worked up, or ma- naged in the way of his trade or employ.

16. The Bailiff shall, as soon as may be, file in the Court copies of the said inventory, appraisement and notice.

18. The Court on being satisfied, on the affidavit of one of the officers having the warrant for execution, that there are no reasonable means of executing the warrant without breaking such outer doors or windows, may grant an order in writing, addressed to a Bailiff of the Court, authorizing him to break open, or have broken open, such doors and windows. Before executing such order, however, the Bailiff shall inform any persons or person who may be in the build- ing, that he has such order and that he is about to act on it unless the doors or windows are opened.

19. The Bailiffs may impound or otherwise secure the property seized, in or on the house or premises, chargeable with the rent, or may remove the same.

PART III.

Of Application to discharge Distresses and of Compensation.

20. The debtor, or any other person alleging himself to be the owner of any property seized under this Ordinance, may, at any time within five days from such seizure, on twenty-four hours notice to the party who obtained the warrant and to the Bailiff, setting out the facts on which the claim is founded, verified on affidavit, apply to the Court, to discharge or suspend the warrant or to release a distrained article; and such Court may discharge or suspend such warrant or release such articles accordingly, upon such terms as it thinks just..

21. Upon any such application, the costs attending it and. attending the issue and execution of the warrant, shall be in the discretion of the Court, and shall be paid as the Court directs.

22. If any claim be made to, or in respect of, any pro- perty seized under a distress warrant, or in respect of the proceeds or value thereof, by any person not being the debtor, the Registrar, upon the application of the Bailiff who seized the property, may issue a summons calling before the Court the claimant and the person who obtained the warrant, and thereupon any suit which may have been brought in respect of such claim shall be stayed, and the Court, on the proof of the service of such summons, and that the property was so distrained, may order the plaintiff to pay the costs of all proceedings in such suit after the service of such summons. 23. Every such claim shall be verified by affidavit or declaration setting out the facts on which it is founded. When so verified the Court shall adjudicate thereupon, and make such order between the parties in respect thereof, and of the costs of the proceedings, as it thinks fit; and such order shall be enforced as if it were an order made in a suit brought in such Court.

that the goods were properly distrainable, award such com- pensation by way of damages to the applicant or claimant (as the case may be) as the Court thinks fit, and may for that purpose make any enquiry it thinks necessary; and the order of the Court, awarding or refusing such compen- sation, shall bar any suit in respect of injury caused by the distress.

25. The Court may in its discretion, at any time upon the application of the debtor and upon reasonable notice being given of the application to the party who obtained the warrant give time to the debtor to pay the rent due from him upon such terms as it may think just and reason- able.

PART IV.

Sale of Distresses.

26. In default of any order to the contrary, the distrained property shall be sold on the day mentioned in the notice of appraisement and sale hereinbefore referred to, and such sale shall be conducted at such a place and time and by such person as the Registrar may direct, whether by an auctioneer or a Bailiff of the Court and such auctioneer or such Bailiff shall on realizing the proceeds, pay over the amount thereof to the Court, and such amount shall be applied, first in payment of the costs of the said distress, and then in satisfaction of the debt; and the surplus, if any, shall be returned to the debtor.

27. Provided that the debtor may require that the sale shall take place in any other manner, than that directed by the Registrar, upon giving security for any extra costs or loss thereby, or that in the Registrar's opinion may be thereby, occasioned.

PART V.

Deserted Premises where no Distress left.

28. Where any immoveable property is held at a rack, rent; or where the rent reserved shall be full three-fourths of the yearly value of the demised premises:

And where neither the value of the premises by the year, nor the rent payable in respect of the tenancy by the year, shall exceed three hundred dollars; If the tenant shall be in arrears for two months, and shall desert the demised premises and leave the same uncultivated or unoccupied so as no suffi- cient distress can be had to countervail the arrears of rent;

It shall be lawful for the Court, at the request of the lessor or landlord or his agent and on information on oath, to issue his warrant authorizing any Bailiff to enter on the premises, breaking any doors, windows, or gates if necessary; And if the premises are found to be deserted with no sufficient distress therein, to place the same in charge of a Bailiff and to affix a notice thereon, in a conspicuous place, that unless cause to the contrary be shown before the Court within ten days, the premises will be given over to the ap- plicant ;

And if no such cause be shown, it shall be lawful for the Court, on proof of the fact of desertion, of non- payment of at least two months rent last due, of want of sufficient distress, and that the applicant is the lessor or landlord of the premises or entitled under this Ordinance to a distraint warrant, to make an order directing a Bailiff to put the appli- cant in possession of the premises and the demise shall become void.

PART VI.

Rules as to Distresses.

29. Arrears of rent may be distrained for after the end or determination of any term or lease at will, in the same manner as if such term or lease had not been ended or determined; provided that such distress be made during the continuance of the possession of the tenant from whom such arrears become due and during the continuance of the landlords title or interest.

30. No personal property shall be removed from any premises under any writ from any Court other than Writs in Crown Suits, till the claim for rent due to the landlord or lessor or person entitled to receive the rent, is satisfied; provided that such claim shall not in any case exceed the amount due for six months' rent last due.

5. Each Bailiff shall serve and execute all process of the Supreme Court under the directions of the Registrar, and make a return of the same together with the manner of the execution thereof to the Court, and shall arrest and convey to prison all such persons as shall be committed to his enstody by order of the Court.

No suit shall be brought against a Bailiff for anything done or omitted to be done by him whilst acting under the directions in writing of the Registrar or of a Deputy Regis- trar of the Court or in pursuance of any order made or given by the Court or a Judge as hereinafter mentioned.

No suit shall be brought against the Registrar or any Deputy Registrar for any act done or omitted to be done by any of the Bailiff's or Deputy Bailiffs without directions from such Registrar or Deputy Registrar, nor shall any suit be brought against any Registrar or Deputy Registrar for any directions given to a Bailiff with regard to the execu- tion or non-execution of process if such directions shall be in accordance with an order obtained from the Court or a Judge as hereinafter mentioned. Provided always that no material fact be wilfully misrepresented or suppressed by such Registrar or Deputy Registrar in obtaining such order.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 9th December, 1882.

FREDERICK STEWART,

Acting Colonial Secretary.

922

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 9TH DECEMBER, 1882. REGULATIONS FOR THE HONGKONG FIRE BRIGADE MADE BY THE GOVERNOR IN COUNCIL UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF ORDINANCE 4 OF 1868.

1.—All Officers of the Brigade, except those detailed for duty elsewhere, are to reside within the limits of the town of Victoria and are not to absent themselves except on duty without the permission of the Superintendent, and any officer becoming incapacitated by illness or otherwise should report the fact as soon as possible to the Superintendent.

2. In the absence of the Superintendent, the Senior Assistant Superintendent will command the Brigade; and in the absence of the Superintendents, the Foremen will take charge according to seniority.

3. All members of the Brigade should make themselves acquainted with the water system of Victoria. They should know the position of Fire Plugs in all the principal streets, and the tanks from which they are supplied; also the situation of Wells, and the average depth of water at all points accessible to an engine along the Praya Wall. This order applies especially to the Officers of the Brigade who are expected to know the best means of supplying an engine with water in any part of

the town.

4.--On the alarm of Fire, the bell will be rung without delay. First with a quick alarm for two minutes, to be followed by single, double, or treble strokes to denote the situation of the Fire. One stroke indicating the Eastern District, Eastward of Murray Barracks; two, the Central District, from Murray Barracks to the Harbour Office; and three, the Western District.

5.-On the alarm being sounded, firemen and officers who have not been told off for special duty But those will hasten to the engine house of their District to assist in taking the Engines to the Fire. in charge of Hose Reels, Coal Carts, Ladders, Supply Carts, &c., must on no account neglect the duties which they have been specially appointed to perform.

6. On the arrival of the Engines at the scene of Fire, they will be stationed in such positions as the Senior Officer present may direct. In placing them, as well as in laying out the Hose, great care should be taken to allow as much space as possible for the use of any Engines that may subsequently arrive on the ground. On getting the Engine as close to the water supply as the nature of the ground will admit, the Delivery Hose should first be connected and run out towards the Fire as directed by the Senior Officer present, next the Suction Hose should be carefully screwed home. It must be always borne in mind that the shorter the Suction Hose, the greater the power obtained, and that, if carelessly connected, the efficiency of the Engine may be seriously affected.

7. Great care should be taken to run out the Hose in as straight a line as possible without twists, sharp turns, or unnecessary bends. The Firemen attached to each Engine should, from time to time, observe the position of the Reel or other Hose supply, so that they may be able to replace promptly any length which may burst or become otherwise damaged.

8.-Firemen in charge of the branch should place themselves in such a position that the stream from the nozzle may actually strike the burning materials. Playing at random from the ground through a window should be avoided, whenever it is possible to obtain a better position, either by entering the premises on fire, ascending the roof of an adjoining building, or otherwise.

9.-In moving Engines, Escapes, Supply Carts, &c., great care should be taken not to injure the Hose of other Brigades.

10.-Without the permission of one of the Superintendents, no Foreman or other Member of the Brigade is to receive any refreshment whatever, while on duty, except that which, when necessary, will be supplied free of cost by the Government.

11.-All Members of the Brigade are strictly prohibited from smoking while on duty at Fires or Inspections. But men remaining on watch after a Fire has been subdued, may at the discretion of the Senior Officer present be allowed to smoke when not actively engaged.

12.-Members of the Brigade are not to receive orders from any one except their own Officers. They should always be respectful towards those with whom they are brought in contact, and should afford every assistance in their power to Members of other Brigades.

13. As the reputation of the Brigade depends in a great measure upon the behaviour of the Firemen, any case of incivility will be considered to disqualify them for the post.

14.-In Out-Stations, where there are no Officers of the Brigade, the Police Inspector will take charge of the Engine in the event of Fire. At other times, the care of the Engine and other Fire Brigade material will rest with the Fireman, who will see that the rules here laid down for work- ing the Engines are observed. In the Eastern and Western Districts of Victoria, the Senior Firemen will have charge of the Engines and other Fire Brigade equipment.

7

iv. After Fires and Inspections he should see that all Hose has been properly washed and

dried before it is put on the Reels, and that damaged lengths are set aside for repair.

v. He will arrange the duties of men in charge of Coal carts, Hose reels, Supply carts, Ladders and Escapes at the Central Station, and see that these appliances are at all times properly equipped and ready for use, and that they, together with a sufficient supply of Hose and other material, accompany the Engines to a Fire.

ARATHOON SETH, Clerk of Councils.

Council Chamber, Hongkong, 13th December, 1882.

GENERAL CHAMBER OF COMMERCE,

HONGKONG, 9th December, 1882.

SIR, The Committee of this Chamber has had under its consideration the taxation of trade in the Colony, and its attention has been directed in the first instance, to the Light dues now imposed upon all shipping using the Harbour, excepting Chinese Junks which are exempted from the operation of the impost.

According to the Blue Books and returns courteously placed by you at the disposal of the Chamber, it would appear that, from the date of the erection of the first Light House in 1874 down to 1881 (inclusive) there have been expended upon construction and maintenance out of ordinary Colonial funds the sum of $88,605.33 while the Income from 1875 to 1881 amounted to $113,290.21 showing a surplus of income over expenditure for that period $24,684.88.

The Committee understands that towards the cost of construction of the Light Houses a grant was made out of a special fund at the disposal of the Colony, but the papers furnished to the Chamber do not give any information to that effect. From the annexed table it will be seen that the annual revenue derived from Light dues has been increasing since 1875, while the cost of maintenance has remained about stationery.

In 1881 the dues were

derived from a tax upon shipping.

}

The Committee desires to urge upon His Excellency the Administrator the expediency of strictly maintaining, in the fiscal policy of the Colony, the conditions of perfect freedom of trade upon which the commercial prosperity of the Island wholly depends, and with which a tax for the purposes of revenue upon traffic passing through the Harbour is obviously inconsistent.

The Committee believes that when the existing dues were imposed to provide the cost of main- taining the Light Houses, a surplus was not looked for and suggests that as a reduction of fifty per cent. in the present tariff rates would still leave a surplus of income over expenditure to provide for contingencies, it might safely be made and cannot with justice be refused.

I have the honour to be,

Honourable F. STEWART, LL.D.,

Acting Colonial Secretary,

76. The purchase money or compensation to be paid. for any of the said lands mentioned in the said Schedule D. and required to be purchased or taken by the company from any party who, by reason of absence from the Colony of Hongkong, is prevented from treating, or who cannot after diligent enquiry be found, shall be determined, where it does not exceed one thousand dollars, by the valuation of such able practical Surveyor as a Judge in Summary Jurisdiction shall nominate for that purpose as hereinafter mentioned, and, where it does exceed one thousand dollars, by the valuation of such able practical Surveyor as the said Chief Justice shall nominate for that purpose as hereinafter mentioned.

to me. "Made and subscríbed in the

82. When the compensation payable in respect of any of the said lands mentioned in the said Schedule D., or any interest therein, shall have been ascertained by the valuation of a Surveyor, and deposited in the Bank under the provisions herein contained, by reason that the owner of, or party entitled to assign, such lands or such interest therein as aforesaid, could not be found, or was absent from the said Colony of Hongkong, if such owner or party shall be dissatisfied with such valuation, it shall be lawful for him, before he shall have applied to the Court for pay- ment or investment of the monies so deposited under the provisions herein contained, by notice in writing to the Company to require the question of such compensation to be determined, where it will not exceed $1000, by a Judge in Summary Jurisdiction in manner hereinbefore men- tioned, and, where it will exceed $1000, by the said Chief Justice in manner hereinbefore mentioned, and thereupon the same shall be so determined accordingly.

83. The question to be determined by such Judge, or (as the case may be) the said Chief Justice in the case last aforesaid shall be, whether the said sum so deposited as aforesaid by the Company was a sufficient sum, or whether any, and what, further sum ought to be paid or deposited by them.

84. If such Judge, or (as the case may be) the said Chief Justice shall adjudge or decree that a further sum ought to be paid or deposited by the Company, they shall pay, or deposit, as the case may require, such further sum within fourteen days after the delivery of such judgment or decree, or, in default thereof, the same may be enforced by attachment, or recovered, with costs, by action or suit. 85. If such Judge or (as the case may be) the said Chief Justice shall adjudge or decree that the sum so deposited was sufficient, the costs of, and incident to, such enquiry shall be in the discretion of such Judge or (as the case may be) the said Chief Justice but, if such Judge or (as the case may be) the said Chief Justice shall adjudge or decree that a further sum ought to be paid or deposited by the Company, all the costs of, and incident to the en- quiry shall be borne by the Company.

86. If any party shall be entitled to any compensation in respect of of the said lands, mentioned in the said

any Schedule D., or of any interest therein, which shall have been taken for, or injuriously affected by, the execution of the works, and for which the Company shall not have made satisfaction under the provisions of this Ordinance, such compensation shall be determined, where it will not exceed one thousand dollars, by a Judge in Summary Jurisdiction in manner hereinbefore mentioned, and where it will exceed one thousand dollars by the said Chief Jus- tice in manner hereinbefore mentioned.

Upon payment or tender of the compensation so agreed upon or determined to the party entitled to any such charge as aforesaid, such party shall execute to the Com- pany a release of such charge; and if he fail so to do, or if he fail to adduce good title to such charge to the satisfac- tion of the Company, or if he be absent from the Colony,

whether temporarily or permanently, or in hiding, or cannot after diligent enquiry be found, it shall be lawful for them to deposit the amount of such compensation in the Bank in he manner herein before provided in like cases, and also, if they think fit, to execute a deed poll, duly stamped in the manner hereinbefore provided in the case of the pur- chase of lands by them, and thereupon the rent-charge, chief or other rent, payment or incumbrance, or the portion thereof in respect whereof such compensation shall so have been paid, shall cease and be extinguished.

118. If any such lands be so released from any such charge or incumbrance, or portion thereof to which they were subject jointly with other lands, such last-mentioned lands shall alone be charged with the whole of such charge, or with the remainder thereof, as the case may be, and the party entitled to the charge shall have all the same rights and remedies over such last-mentioned lands for the whole or the remainder of the charge, as the case may be, as he had previously over the whole of the lands subject to such charge; and if upon any such charge or portion of charge being so released the deed or instrument creating or transferring such charge be tendered to the Company for the purpose, they shall affix their common seal to a memoran- dum of such release endorsed on such deed or instrument, declaring what part of the lands originally subject to such charge shall have been purchased by virtue of this Ordi- nance, and if the lands be released from part of such charge, what proportion of such charge shall have been released, and how much thereof continues payable, or if the lands so required shall have been released from the whole of such charge then that the remaining lands are thenceforward to remain exclusively charged therewith; and such memo- randum shall be made and executed at the expense of the Company and shall be evidence in the Courts and elsewhere of the facts therein stated, but not so as to exclude any other evidence of the same facts.

119. Where part only of any lands comprised in a lease for a term of years shall be required for the purposes of this Ordinance, the rent payable in respect of the lands comprised in such lease shall be apportioned between the lands so required and the residue of such lands; and such apportionment may be determined by agreement between the lessor (including Her Majesty in those cases where Her Majesty shall be the lessor) and the lessee of such lands on the one part, and the Company on the other part, and if such apportionment be not so determined by agree- ment between the parties such apportionment shall be determined by a Surveyor in the same manner as is herein- before provided with respect to the apportionment of rent charges, chief, or other rents, or other payments, or incum- brances, not provided for, and after such apportionment the lessee of such lands shall, as to all future accruing rent, be liable only for so much of the rent as shall be so apportioned in respect of the lands not required for the purposes of this Ordinance; and as to the lands not so. required, and as against the lessee, the lessor shall have all the same rights and remedies for the recovery of such portion of rent as previously to such apportionment he had for the recovery of the whole rent reserved by such lease and all the covenants, conditions, and agreements of such lease, except as to the amount of rent to be paid, shall remain in force with regard to that part of the land which shall not be required for the purposes of this Ordinance, in the same manner as they would have done in case such part only of the land had been included in the lease.

;

120. Every such lessee as last aforesaid shall be entitled to receive from the Company compensation for the damage done to him in his tenancy by reason of the severance of the lands required from those not required or otherwise by reason of the execution of the works.

121.

122. If any party, having a greater interest than as tenant-at-will, or monthly tenant, claim compensation in respect of any unexpired term or interest under any lease of any such lands, the Company may require such party to produce the lease in respect of which such claim shall be made, or the best evidence thereof in his power; and, if, after demand made in writing by the Company, such lease or such best evidence thereof be not produced within twen- ty-one days, the party so claiming compensation shall be considered as a tenant holding only from month to month, and be entitled to compensation accordingly.

If at any time after the Company shall have entered upon any lands which, under the provisions of this Ordinance, they were authorized to purchase, and which shall be permanently required for the purposes of this Ordinance, any party shall appear to be entitled to any estate, right, or interest in or charge affecting such lands which the Company shall, through mistake or inadver- tence, have failed or omitted duly to purchase, or to pay compensation for, then, whether the period allowed for the purchase of lands shall have expired or not, the Company shall remain in the undisturbed possession of such lands, provided, within three months after notice of such estate, right, interest, or charge, in case the same shall not be disputed by the Company, or in case the same shall be disputed, then within three months after the right thereto shall have been finally established by law in favour of the party claiming the same, the Company shall purchase or pay compensation for the same, and shall also pay to such party, or to any other party who may establish a right thereto, full compensation for the mesne profits or interest which would have accrued to such parties respectively in respect thereof during the interval between the entry of the Company thereon and the time of the payment of such purchase-money or compensation by the Company, so far as such mesne profits or interest may be recoverable in law or equity; and such purchase-money or compensation shall be agreed on or awarded and paid in like manner as accord- ing to the provisions of this Ordinance the same respec- tively would have been agreed on, or awarded, and paid, in case the Company had purchased such estate, right, interest, or charge before their entering upon such land, or as near thereto as circumstances will admit.

125. In estimating the compensation to be given for any such last-mentioned lands, or any estate or interest in the same, or for any mesne profits thereof, the Judge in Summary Jurisdiction or (as the case may be), the said Chief Justice, or Surveyor, shall assess the same according to what he shall find to have been the value of such lands, estate, or interest, and profits, at the time such lands were entered upon by the Company, and without regard to any improvements, or works, made in the said lands by the Company, and as though the works had not been constructed.

126. In addition to the said purchase-money, compen- sation, or satisfaction, and before the Company shall become absolutely entitled to any such estate, interest, or charge, or to have the same merged or extinguished for their benefit, they shall, when the right to any such estate, interest, or charge, shall have been disputed by the Com- pany and determined in favour of the party claiming the same, pay the full costs and expenses of any proceedings at law or in equity for the determination or recovery of the same to the parties with whom any such litigation in

respect thereof shall have taken place; and such costs and expenses shall, in case the same shall be disputed, be settled by the Registrar.

127. All proceedings taken in, and applications made to, the Court in respect of any compensation or other monies payable under this Ordinance, shall be taken and made, where such compensation or other monies do not exceed one thousand dollars, in the Court in its Summary Jurisdic- tion, and, where such compensation or other monies do exceed one thousand dollars, such proceedings and applica- tions shall be taken and made in the Court in its Original Jurisdiction before the said Chief Justice.

128. If any such proceedings or applications shall be taken or made in the Court in its Summary Jurisdiction, or in the Court in its Original Jurisdiction before the said Chief Justice, and if it shall happen that such proceedings or applications respectively though taken or made in the Court in its Summary Jurisdiction or (as the case may be) in its Original Jurisdiction before the said Chief Justice, ought, judging from the amount of compensation or money adjudged or decreed to be paid, to have been taken or made in the Court in its Original Jurisdiction before the said Chief Justice or (as the case may be) in its Summary Ju- risdiction, then, and notwithstanding such fact, such pro- ceedings or applications shall be deemed to have been duly taken or made and as if the same had been taken or made in the Court in such Jurisdiction as is by this Ordinance provided. Provided always that in any such proceedings or applications as aforesaid there shall be a right of appeal from the decision of any Judge in Summary Jurisdiction in manner provided by the said Ordinance No. 14 of 1873, and that the determination of the said Chief Justice shall be final and conclusive, and that there shall be no appeal therefrom by either party.

HONGKONG, 9th December, 1882.

SIR,-On re-examining the computations of the latitude of Mount Elgin, the results of which were given in my paper published in the Government Gazette of the 4th of last March, I have detected two small arithmetical errors in the fifth column of Table IV, page 237, which slightly affected the figures in the sixth and seventh columns, and introduced a minute error of 0".02 in the final resulting latitude. I have therefore revised the calculations, and I have the honour to forward herewith the Table, &c., as corrected, to be substituted for the latter half of page 237 of the Gazette.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your obedient Servant,

NOTICE NO. 2.

THE following information relating to "Beaver Reef," West Coast of Australia, is by Staff Commander J. E. Coghlan, R.N., H.M. surveying vessel "Meda," in charge of Joint Admiralty and Colonial Marine Survey of Western Australia, 1882.

All bearings are Magnetic.- Variation 5° Westerly in 1882.

BEAVER REEF*reported by the schooner "Beaver," in 1864, to lie in latitude 32° 6' S., longitude 114° 37' E., about 60 miles westward of the port of Fremantle, and 30 miles outside the 100 fathoms edge of the coast bank of soundings, has again been closely searched for during eleven days in the "Meda."

A discrepancy of 10 miles having been detected in the "Beaver's" original report to the Colonial Government between the recorded astronomical position of the reported reef and that by bearing and distance from Rottnest island, both positions were examined. The breakers reported by the schooner "Gift," in 1869, about 11 miles west of the astronomical position of "Beaver reef," were also searched for.

The parallel of latitude on which both dangers were supposed to lie, and also the parallels three and five miles on either side of it, were sounded along and traversed (a distance of 712 miles), within a space including 20 miles of latitude and 60 miles of longitude.

NON-INDICATIONS.-Lead and Look-out.-The deep-sea lead was kept going at short intervals by night and by day, and during the day-time a vigilant look-out was kept from aloft. Neither the eye nor the deep-sea lead afford- indications of shoal water, there being depths of no bottom at 360 fathoms, and no bottom at 300 fathoms on the positions of the "Beaver" and "Gift" respectively, and no bottom at 850 fathoms about midway between them.

ed

any

Temperatures-The self-registering thermometers used while sounding showed 58° and 59° at the depth of 100 fathoms, and 64° and 65° (Fahrenheit) at the surface, within the distance of 20 miles north and south, 15 miles east, and 60 miles west of the "Beaver's" position. The reported bank would prove an obstruction to the Polar current which sets over its supposed position; no indictions, however, of shoaler soundings by lower temperatures were obtained.

Sea-birds, etc.-With the exception of one albatross and three Cape pigeons, which staid by the vessel, no flocks of sea-birds nor shoals of fish (usually met with upon banks at sea) were observed. Several whales were seen.

Breakers, etc.-Moderate to strong southwesterly winds mostly prevailed, with a high swell, and judging from local experience the latter should have broken in 6 and 7 fathoms; the state of the sea also at times was such as to suspend sound ng operations.

* See Admiralty Charts:-Champion Bay to Cape Naturaliste, No. 1033; Indian Ocean, Southern portion, No. 748a; Australia, Southern portion, No. 27596; also Australia Directory, Vol. III., 2nd edition, 1881, p. 243.

1008 THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 23RD DECEMBER, 1882.

Vessels from Sunda strait and the northward approaching Fremantle on the parallel of Rottnest island, and also those from Adelaide bound to India round Cape Leeuwin (meeting winds north of west), must frequently pass near the position assigned to "Beaver Reef." If strong winds between north and west prevail (opposing the Polar current) topping seas resembling breakers will be encountered in the neighbourhood of that reported danger.

NON-EXISTENCE.-The result, however, of the various researches (under direction of different officers) of five, two, five, two, and eleven days duration respectively, appears to be exhaustive, and to afford assurance of the non-existence of any bank or shoal in the vicinity of the alleged "Beaver Reef."

By His Excellency's Command,

GIFFORD, Colonial Secretary.

NOTICE TO MARINERS.

Hydrographic Notice.

AUSTRALIA DIRECTORY, VOL. III.

Sharks Bay-Gascoyne River. NOTICE NO. 3.

THE following information relating to portions of Sharks bay, West Coast of Australia, is by Staff Commader J. E. Coghlan, R.N., in charge of Joint Admiralty and Colonial Marine Survey of Western Australia, 1882.

[All bearings are Magnetic. Variation, South Passage 1° 30′ W., and Gascoyne River 1° 0' Westerly in 1882.] EPINAUX or FALSE ENTRANCE* is an inlet situated about 12 miles southward of South passage, and both openings taking a south-east direction with entrance points similar in appearance, the former is liable to be mistaken for the latter when approaching from the southward.

SOUTH PASSAGE is a channel leading southward of Dirk Hartog island into Sharks bay. Its western entrance between Steep and Surf points is obstructed by a narrow rocky bar (Outer bar), concave in shape, and steep-to on its sea- ward side, with depths of 2 and 4 fathoms water over it. The Outer bar was, until the recent examination, believed to have not less than 6 fathoms over it, the passage being recommended as a port of refuge for which a vessel might run in confi- dence and safety, during a south-west gale, if caught upon a lee shore off Dirk Hartog island. South passage should not be attempted except by vessels possessing local knowledge, and of not more than 12 feet draught.

Within the Outer bar the channel with four and five fathoms water takes a south-east direction for 24 miles to abreast of cape Ransonnet (south extreme of Dirk Hartog island). Thence it trends successively E.N.E., N.N.E., and N. by W., maintaining the same depths and affording anchorage throughout for about five miles until meeting the Inner bar.

LANDMARKS.-Steep point, the south entrance point of the passage, is a bold cliffy projection with a cairn of stones erected upon it, 10 feet high and 115 feet above high water, usefitl in distinguishing South passage from False en- trance. Monkey rock, a small conspicuous bare islet, 11 feet above high water, lies about 2 cables eastward of Steep point, with sunken dangers surrounding it to the distance of 2 cables. Surf point, the north entrance point, is a narrow cliffy peninsula about 70 feet high, with two small rocky islets lying close-to, and sandy coast on either side of it. The south extreme of some hills on Dirk Hartog island (Herald heights) with a bare white summit about 350 feet high, lies about three-quarters of a mile westward of Surf point. At three-quarters of a mile eastward of the point there rises a bare sand hill about 200 feet high, with a well of fresh water at its western base. Surf point lies N.E. distant 13 miles from the cairn on Steep point. Ransonnet rocks, small, bare, and conspicuous, about 7 feet above high water, lie about 2 cables south-east of cape Ransonnet.

DANGERS.-Outer bar is the submarine continuation of Surf point. Ledges which uncover at low water and sunken dangers extend nearly a mile in a southerly direction from Surf point, and (except with off-shore winds) usually in- dicate themselves by the surf beating upon them. Thence the narrow rocky projection, becoming more submerged, curves to the eastward and joins Monkey rock, with depths of 2 and 4 fathoms upon, and 7 and 10 fathoms close seaward of the ledge.

South sand, with depths of 1 to 6 feet over it and deeper water inshore, extends in an E.N.E. direction from Ran- sonnet rocks, and thence trending more northerly terminates in a tongue forming the south side of Inner bar.

North sand, with depths of 4 and 6 feet over it, lies 4 cables northward of South sand, with depths of 12 to 17 feet between them. Both North and South sands are distinguished (August, 1882) by streaks of dark seaweed growing upon them.

East sand extends nearly 2 miles from the western shore of the Bellefin prong peninsula, with depths of 1 fathom and less water over it. Between the South and East sands there is a navigable channel with 4 and 5 fathoms water.

Inner bar lies between the North and South sands and has depths of 12 and 17 feet water, over a bottom of coarse sand and shells. A gut with 22 and 24 feet water passes close westward of North sand and Inner bar and becomes absorbed in the South sand.

DIRECTIONS.-South passage cannot be taken in safety by vessels of more than 12 feet draught. No specific directions can be given for entering it, but should a vessel without local knowledge be compelled by circumstances to take passage, she must be guided by the eye between the breakers when crossing the Outer bar, and thence the lead will prove of service if carefully attended to. As a general guide, open out the passage by bringing a point on the south shore (with a small islet close-to) opposite cape Ransonnet well open of Monkey rock bearing S.E., and steer to pass 3 cables east-

ward of the latter, until over the Outer bar when a mid-channel should be kept until abreast of Ransonnet rocks. Thence E.N.E. and more northerly courses should be steered between the East and South sands, the former indicating itself by light colored water and the latter by dark streaks of seaweed. Crossing the Inner bar a vessel can be conned by the between the discolored water which marks the North and South sands; or by keeping a conspicuous sand patch on the eastern shore of Dirk Hartog island on the bearing of N.W. by N.

eye

TIDES.-In South passage (August 1882), the tides were observed to be very irregular. The ebb stream attained a velocity of 3 knots at springs, causing heavy overfalls on the Outer bar. Strong southerly winds are reported to cause the water to fall 2 feet below the mean low water level or the standard for the reduction of soundings.

BAR FLATS, at the mouth of Freycinet reach, are reported to have shoaled and extended considerably in the direction of Middle bluff (Peron peninsula).

WOORAMEL RIVER, which flows into the eastern side of Sharks bay abreast of Pelican island, is reported to have anchorage close southward of its mouth, with a channel leading thereto available for vessels of 12 feet draught.

The Wooramel is the principle outlet for the local Sandalwood industry.

PEARLING STATIONS are situated on Peron peninsula at cape Leseur and Lagoon point (Fresh water camp). SUPPLIES.-Small supplies of fresh meat and water can be obtained at Fresh Water camp, and at a sheep station on Dirk Hartog island, abreast of the north end of Bellefin prong peninsula, on the parallel of 26° S.

DORRE and BERNIER ISLANDS (unsurveyed) are reported to be much narrower than shown on the chart. GASCOYNE RIVER flows into Sharks bay about 40 miles southward of cape Cuvier of the French (Freycinet), and is entered by two channels (North and South entrances) passing northward and southward of Babbage island respectively.

North entrance dries across at low water, and is barely available for boats at high water.

South entrance is 3 cables wide, and takes an easterly and thence north-easterly direction, until its junction with North entrance abreast of the north-east extreme of Babbage island. There is barely one foot at low water springs across the mouth of South entrance (if southerly winds prevail), but the channel is available for cargo boats at high water. On account of the many snags which obstruct the channel, a good look-out must be kept when entering, especially at high

water.

Gascoyne townsite lies on the south shore, about half-a-mile within the South entrance. There are several stores erected, and other buildings in the course of erection (June, 1882), and the place is fast increasing in importance. It is proposed to lay out an additional townsite at the mouth of South entrance, separated from the present site by a swamp at high water.

EXPORTS consist principally of wool. There being no surveyed ports between Sharks bay and N.W. wool is brought overland to the Gascoyne from as far north as the Ashburton (or Curlew) river.

cape, the COMMUNICATION.-The local mail steamer calls at the Gascoyne on her way to Cossack, and on the return trip, monthly. Coasting vessels trade between Fremantle and Gascoyne river, and the wool ships call there for cargoes. SUPPLIES.-Fresh meat, water, flour, and other stores in moderate quantities can be procured at the Gascoyne. BEACONS.-A beacon 25 feet high and 42 feet above high water, pyramidal in shape and white-washed, is erected on the south extreme of Babbage island. It is to be removed to the site originally selected for it on the summit of the sand dunes on the western side of Babbage island, about three-quarters of a mile northward of its present position, at an elevation of 58 feet above high water.

A white-washed cask (vertical) beacon, 16 feet above high water, is erected on Mangrove point.

OBSERVATION SPOT.-The site upon which Babbage island beacon is to be re-erected is situated in latitude 24° 52′ 45′′ S., longitude 113° 39′ E. The present beacon is in latitude 24° 53′ 24′′ S., longitude 113° 39′ 18′′ E.

TIDES.-It is high water, full and change, about 10 h. Springs rise 5 feet, neaps cause the water to remain about 2 feet below, and north-west winds about 2 feet above, the mean low water level to which feet, neaps 2 feet. Strong south-east winds the soundings are reduced.

ANCHORAGE.-The deepest water and best anchorage lies off the North entrance, where the depth of 14 feet and over will be found about 6 cables from the shore of Babbage island; that depth and less water extends one mile from the shore off the South entrance, and three miles from the shore at one mile southward of Mangrove point.

Similarly, the depths of 20 and 24 feet will be found off the North entrance at 14 and 24 miles respectively from the shore of Babbage island, and 4 and 5 miles from the shore respectively at one mile southward of Mangrove point.

Marks.-Anchorage in 20 feet, sand bottom, will be found 14 miles from the shore with Babbage island (present) beacon bearing E.S.E.; Mangrove Point beacon bearing S.E. E.; and the highest part of the sand dunes on Babbage island, on which the beacon is to be re-erected, bearing E. S. A vessel drawing 14 feet can find a berth three-quarters

1 of a mile nearer the shore, with the above-mentioned marks bearing E.S.E., S.E. E. and N.E. by E. E., respectively.

During strong southerly winds (which frequently blow for days together in Sharks bay) the most convenient berth for a vessel of 16 feet draught (enabling the cargo lighters to work with a leading wind) will be off the South entrance, with the above-mentioned marks bearing E. by N. N., E. by S. § S., and N.E. N., respectively. A continuance of strong southerly winds will reduce the above given depths 2 feet.

YULE CREEK is about 1 cables wide and takes a south-easterly direction for about two miles, where it bifurcates and becomes absorbed in the sand flats. It is fronted by a bar with depths of 8 and 9 feet over it; but within the creek (which seems to have been a former channel of the Gascoyne) there are depths of 14 to 17 feet, available at high water for vessels possessing local knowledge, and less than 14 feet draught, if desirous of entering it to land stock. The mouth of Yule creek lies about half-a-mile southward of South entrance, and a vessel making use of it should steer in with Mangrove point beacon bearing E. by S. S. until Babbage island (present) beacon bears N.E., thence a general course of S.E. by E. E. will lead up the creek and a vessel may haul alongside the sand flat extending from Mangrove point, and land stock upon it.

DIRECTIONS.-Vessels approaching the Gascoyne from the southward having passed through Naturaliste channel should, when abreast of a Dampier reef, steer N.E. N. (allowing for tide) until the beacons on Babbage island and Man- grove point are distinguished, when they may anchor as convenient on the bearings and distances before given. The lead, if carefully attended to, will given good warning, bearing in mind that sand banks, which dry, and shoal water, with depths of 1 and 2 fathoms, extend 4 and 5 miles from the shore a few miles southward of the river's mouth.

Approaching from the northward, Babbage island (present) beacon, or the summit of the sand dunes on that island, should not be brought to bear south of S.E. until within 3 miles of the anchorage, thence it should not be brought to bear southward of E.S.E.

Within 10 miles north and south of Gascoyne anchorage a vessel may stand into 5 fathoms, and off to 14 and 15 fathoms a out mid-way between Dorre and Bernier islands and the main.

WEATHER.-Sharks bay is occasionally, though rarely, visited by the outer circle of the cyclones which are experienced northward of the bay. A vessel, therefore, at anchor off the Gascoyne from December until the end of March should, upon indications of bad weather, be prepared to put to sea.

!

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 23RD DECEMBER, 1882.

During the winter season (May till October) an occasional gale from the N.W., less severe and of shorter duration than those to the southward, is experienced. The barometer usually gives good warning, and vessels at anchor off the Gascoyne should on those occasions seek shelter under Bernier and Dorre islands.

COAST.-Mangrove point, which lies about half-a-mile southward of South entrance, is conspicuous, and from it the coast curves to the eastward for about three miles, and thence takes a general S.S.E. E. direction for about 22 miles to Greenough point, over which there is a small conspicuous hummock.

Northward of Gascoyne river the coast forms a bight about 3 miles deep, the northern point of which lies N.N.W., distant about 11 miles froin North entrance. Thence the coast continues in a N.N.W. direction for about 11 miles, beyond which point it was not explored during the recent survey, but appears to continue in a N.N.W. direction a further distance of 17 miles, to cape Cuvier of the French (Freycinet).

That portion of the coast, therefore, not having been examined in detail, should be approached with caution and the lead kept going when standing toward it.

LAKE SHOAL, WEARY BAY.

FREDERICK STEWART,

NOTICE TO MARINERS.

(No. 30 of 1882.)

BLOOMFIELD RIVER, WEARY BAY.

The following information respecting the entrance to the Bloomfield River, has been furnished by Mr. Fahey, the Har-

bour Master at Cooktown.

The Bloomfield discharges itself into the southern end of Weary Bay. Its Southern Head is formed by a well timbered knoll, 150 feet in height; the North Head consisting of a low sand point, backed by scrub and a mangrove creek.

The outer edge of the bar-which is of sand-commences about 1⁄2 mile outside the Heads, is about 3 cables in length and 80 yards wide, and has on it a depth of 3 feet at low water; the rise of tide being from 5 to 9 feet.

On the centre of the bar is a small sandy patch, which dries at low-water springs.

The channel is narrow and deep at the river mouth, carrying from 2 to 3 fathoms, while there is a depth of from 13 to 2 fathoms at low water close alongside either bank. In going up the river a depth of 11 feet at low water can be carried for some 2 or 3 miles.

To cross the bar with the deepest water, keep a remarkable conical hill (Bauer Peak)-which is sparsely covered with timber-on with the foot of the South Head, bearing S.W. by W.

The proposed site for a wharf, is on the north shore about of a mile from the entrance.

servants from procuring water from that source

for the irrigation of gardens.
