With reference to Notice to Mariners, No. 9, issued from this Department on 7th August, 1880, the Controller General of Egyptian Light-houses at Alexandria points out that the information therein contained-which was reprinted from the Notice to Mariners No. 111, issued by the British Hydrographic Office on 5th July, 1880—is inexact in some particulars. The following revised information is therefore published

1. Two floating light-buoys painted black are placed 897 yards seaward of the entrance of the harbour, from which lights may be exhibited on application at the Port Office-red on the northern side of the channel; green on

the southern side.

2. A fixed red light is shown from the extremity of the north mole head; a fixed green light, from the extremity of

the south mole head.

3. A fixed white light is shown from the extreme (western) end of the inner pier of the harbour.

NOTE. The foregoing green and red lights mark the channel into the port.

Entering Port Ibrahim-the red lights are left on the port hand, the green lights on the starboard hand, the vessel being steered for the white light on the inner pier.

Buoyage.

Also, that a buoy has been placed on each side of the channel to Port Ibrahim, 568 yards from the mole heads-the northern buoy in a line with the red lights, the southern buoy in a line with the green lights.

NOTICE TO MARINERS.

(No. 212).

CHINA SEA.

Non-Existence of Sunken Rock Eastward of Hainan Strait.

With reference to Notice to Mariners, No. 113, of 5th July, 1880, on the existence of a rock reported to have been seen in 1880, by M. Rapatel of the French mail packet Oxus, also in 1878 from the English steam vessel Minerva, in a position 67 miles E. S. from Hainan head :-

Information has been received from Captain R. Napier, H.M. Surveying vessel Magpie, that having made an exami- nation extending over two days on and near the assigned position, no trace of shoal ground was detected.

The Magpie, under favourable conditions and with special look-outs from aloft as well as from the deck, sounded over an area extending 9 miles North, 8 miles South, and 10 miles both East and West of the reported position of the danger, but depths of not less than 38 fathoms were obtained.

Tide rips with heavy overfalls were repeatedly seen; these overfalls, near the reported position of the rock, were so heavy that a steam cutter was sent to examine what appeared to be shoal ground with broken water, but the depth found, when so near to the overfall that the boat was in danger of swamping, was 48 fathoms, mud.

Captain Napier is of opinion that it is improbable the rock reported exists within the space traversed by the Magpie. It has been removed from the charts.

(The bearing is Magnetic. Variation 1o Easterly in 1880.)

NOTICE TO MARINERS.

[No. 128.]

CHINA SEA.

CANTON RIVER AND DISTRICT.

Sunken Rocks.

The following Memorandum by Mr. PARKHILL is

published for general information:---

During the last few years several sunken rocks have been discovered in those navigable channels of the Canton River which are used by Foreign vessels. None of these rocks are marked on the Admiralty Charts, nor are they generally known to shipmasters frequenting this port.

The positions of the most dangerous rocks were ascer- tained and reported a few years ago, but, so far as I know,

no step has been taken officially to make them publicly

known.

So far as is at present known, they are:--

1. Three knolls of sandstone in the Eastern Passage

of the 2nd Bar, each having a surface of about

150 square feet, and about 4 feet above the bed

*This is only an apparent decrease; there has been an increase of Revenue on nearly all descriptions of Licences, but 1879's account includes 13 months' Opium Licence Fees, as the present Farmer paid the Fee for January, 1880, in December, 1879. + Supreme Court fees are now paid by stamps. Fines for breaches of the Opium Ordinance have been paid over to the Opium Farmer since February last year. In 1879, one of the River Steamers was fined $10,675. Hence the apparent decrease. ✦ There is a falling off in tees for the Storage of Gunpowder. M. S. TONNOCHY,

INSPECTORATE OF SCHOOLS,

HONGKONG, 27th January, 1881.

SIR,---I have the honour to forward under this enclosure a tabulated summary of the grants earned by the various Grant-in-aid Schools, amounting to $7,319.77, and, owing to the approach of the Chinese New Year, I beg to recommend that the money be paid at once.

The Estimates for 1881 provide only the sum of $6,900 for the purpose; so that there is an excess of $419.77, which is caused by the in- creased number of the Schools now under the Grant-in-aid System.

I reserve all remarks as regards details of the working of the Grant-in-aid Scheme during the

past year for my Annual Report, and have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient servant,

E. J. EITEL,

Inspector of Schools.

Acting Colonial Secretary.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.

The following is published for general informa-

By Command,

FREDERICK STEWART,

Colonial Secretary's Office,

Acting Colonial Secretary.

Hongkong, 4th February, 1881.

HONGKONG

GOVERNMENT CENTRAL SCHOOL.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINATION.

[In C.S.O.29 of 1881.]

MINUTE BY HIS EXCELLENCY THE Governor.

The annual prize examination of the Central School, which to some extent is a test of the way the Masters do their work, should be conducted, as in every other Colony, by Examiners other than the Masters.

I should be glad if Dr. STEWART would suggest the names of a few gentlemen who would be competent to conduct the necessary examination.

J. POPE HENNESSY.

(Signed)

11th January, 1881.

REPORT BY THE ACTING COLONIAL SECRETARY.

The Rev. Dr. EITEL, Mr. Justice SNOWDEN

(who takes a great interest in education), the Rev. Dr. CHALMERS and the Rev. Mr. LECHLER

occur to me as the names of gentlemen who would be competent to conduct the necessary examinations.

The Rev. Dr. MURRAY MITCHELL, a great Indian educationist, now the guest of Dr. CHALMERS, might feel inclined to join in the examination. A comparison of results here and in India would be satisfactory.

11th January, 1881.

(Signed) F. STEWART,

Acting Colonial Secretary.

MINUTE BY HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR.

I approve of all those selected by Dr. STEWART,

and as the boys are mostly Chinese and the examination will be partly in Chinese, let the Honourable NG CHOY and Dr. WONG be added to the Examiners.

The examination should be conducted as pre- scribed in the Grant-in-aid Schedule for Schools

in which a European education is given with Chinese in addition.

(Signed)

J. POPE HENNESSY.

MINUTES OF PROCEEDINGS OF THE BOARD

APPOINTED TO Examine the GOVERNMENT

CENTRAL SCHOOL.

Tuesday, 18th-25th January, 1881.

Members of the Board:-

The Hon. NG CHOY.

Rev. Dr. CHALMERS.

Rev. R. LECHLER.

P. R. SMITH, Esq.*

Dr. WONG, and

Dr. EITEL.

Dr. CHALMERS said that he presumed the

Inspector of Schools would ex officio act as Chairman, whereupon Dr. EITEL, as such, opened

the meeting by reading to the Board all the documents in C. S. O. 29 of 1881 which ex- plained how His Excellency the Governor came to appoint the Members of the Board as Examiners of the Government Central School on the present occasion, after the Masters of the School had, without the knowledge of the Governor, begun and nearly finished their own examination of the School. Dr. EITEL specially mentioned, that in 1879 the Governor had informed the Secretary of State of his intention not to allow the conti- nuance of the system of having the Central School annually examined by its own Masters only, but that both in January 1880 and in January 1881 the examination was held in the same way as before, without the knowledge of the Governor, until the circumstances detailed in C. S. O.29 of 1881 drew His Excellency's attention to the matter.

Dr. EITEL further mentioned that after ordering the Masters' own examination to be stopped, the Governor had been asked by the Acting Head Master to allow the Masters to finish their examination for their own satisfaction, but that the Governor had decidedly refused to allow this examination to be continued, as he wished the present Board, appointed for the purpose, to institute an independent examination of the School de novo. With reference to the order of the Governor that the Inspector of Schools should arrange the preliminaries of the examination to be held by the Board, Dr. EITEL laid before the Board, and explained in detail, a scheme he had drawn up, in consultation with Dr. STEWART and the Acting Headmaster, Mr. ARTHUR, for the examination of the Central School,-1stly in English, 2ndly, in Chinese, and 3rdly, in certain special subjects, on the basis of the provisions laid down in the Grant-in-aid Schedule.

Dr. CHALMERS said that whatever the object of the Governor might or might not have been in ordering the examination by the teachers of the School to be stopped and in appointing separate Examiners, he wished to propose the following resolution for adoption by the Board:--

* Added to the Board, on account of the illness of Mr. Justice SNOWDEN.

“ That we, finding the teachers of the Central School were in the middle of a process of ex- amination, nearly finished, permit them to finish that, and then take further measures to test the School.”

Dr. EITEL reminded Dr. CHALMERS that the documents he had read to the Board showed that the Governor had appointed the Board for the purpose of instituting an independent examina- tion on the basis of the Grant-in-aid Scheme, and that the Governor had twice ordered the discontinuance of the Masters' examination.

Mr. NG CHoy said he would second Dr. CHAL-

MERS' motion, in consideration of the shortness

of time and of the difficulties in the way of the

Board examining the boys independently.

Dr. EITEL stated that this resolution, if passed, would put the Head Master into a false position,

necessitating his disobeying the explicit orders of the Governor.

Dr. CHALMERS asked if the Members of the Board were forbidden to put the questions again,

which the Masters, orally or in writing, had already put, to the boys.

Dr. EITEL replied that the Members of the Board had been asked to conduct a new and independent examination on the basis of the

Grant-in-aid Schedule, that the examination

begun by the Masters was not in accordance with the rules laid down in that Schedule, and that therefore the Board was not asked to finish what the Masters had begun and then to test the School somehow, but to conduct an entirely

new and independent examination on the prin-

ciples of the Grant-in-aid Schedule.

Dr. CHALMERS said that he maintained that, as a Member of the Board, he was free to ask the boys again the same questions which had been asked by the Masters, or which they were about to ask. Dr. CHALMERS-wished to know decisively whether or not he and the other Members of the Board could do so.

Mr. NG CHOY said that when he seconded the

proposition he did not consider the words "permit

the Masters," and would suggest that Dr. CHAL-

MERS should substitute the words "ask them to help us," in which case he would second Dr. CHALMERS'motion.

Dr. CHALMERS said what he wished was that the little portion of the examination held by

the Masters which was left unfinished, be finished

for the convenience and help of the Board.

Mr. LECHLER remarked that the Board could

not ask the Masters to continue an examination which the Governor had twice ordered them to discontinue.

Dr. CHALMERS said he wished to amend his

previous motion, and moved :-

"That we, finding the teachers of the Central School were in the midst of a process of examina- tion, nearly finished, instruct them to finish that, and then take further measures to test the School." Mr. NG CHOY declined to second this resolution.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 5TH FEBRUARY, 1881.

Mr. SMITH then proposed the following resolu- tion for acceptance by the Board :-

"That, having regard to the loss of time and to the inconvenience likely to be occasioned, more particularly to the pupils, by further delay, the Board proceed to examine the School on the basis

of the Grant-in-aid Scheme as placed before us by Dr. EITEL and approved by the Head Master,

the Examiners having due regard to the circum-

stance that the School has already undergone a Masters' examination, now nearly concluded, and

that the work of the School has not been carried

on with a view to benefits to be derived under that Scheme, and that further the Examiners

reserve to themselves the privilege of asking for

the production of such examination papers and

of taking such assistance from the teachers as

may seem to them just and reasonable.”

Mr. LECHLER having seconded this resolution,

Dr. CHALMERS said he was entirely opposed to it unless the papers already begun by the pupils of

the School were completed by them.

Dr. EITEL asked if the examination papers

were required by the Board as a basis for their examination, or merely to compare the results of these papers with the eventual results of a new

and independent examination by the Board.

Dr. CHALMERS said he had already seen the

papers, at least some of them.

The motion of Mr. SMITH being put to the vote,

it was agreed to by all, with the exception of Dr. CHALMERS, who remarked he had doubts whether he would have time to go through this examina- tion, and said that this was a violent proceeding, dangerous to the School.

The details of the scheme arranged by Dr. EITEL for the examination of the School in English

were then formally accepted, the Acting Head Master, Mr. ARTHUR, having been called in and assured the Board that he had considered the details, in consultation. with Dr. STEWART, who

also agreed with him in saying that this scheme

was fair to the School.

Dr. EITEL next explained the details of the scheme he had drawn up, in consultation with Dr. STEWART and Mr. ARTHUR, for the examina- tion of the School in Chinese, and proposed

that Dr. CHALMERS should conduct this examina- tion, assisted by Mr. NG CHOY and Dr. WONG, as a Sub-Committee.

Dr. CHALMERS said that if the examination be- gun by the Masters was not to be finished first, would decline to act on a Sub-Committee.

Dr. EITEL then read the list he had prepared,

in consultation with Dr. STEWART and Mr. AR- THUR, of the special subjects in which some of the classes were to be examined, and proposed that the Government Analyst, Mr. HUGH MACCALLUM, should be invited to assist the Board in the examination of the Chemistry Classes. This proposal was agreed to by all the Members of the Board.

The Acting Head Master, in reply to a question,

stated that if he were asked to produce the finished and unfinished papers of the Masters' examina- tion, he would produce them at once.

the boys to finish without contravention of the Governor's explicit orders.

Dr. CHALMERS said he wished the papers to be finished for his guidance, and said he wished to know why he should not be free to examine

the School in any way he pleased, adding that if this was refused, he would not act on a Sub-

Committee, but only on the general Board.

Mr. ARTHUR said he would obey any decision by a majority of the Board as if it were an order by the Governor.

Mr. SMITH said it was for the Governor to decide whether Dr. CHALMERS might set the boys to finish any paper previously prepared for them by the Masters, and suggested that the

matter be submitted to the Governor as Dr. CHALMERS' Own suggestion.

Mr. NG CHOY said he did not see the necessity for the unfinished papers being given out to the boys to finish.

The meeting was then adjourned, the above

Minutes having previously been read over and

agreed to.

On re-assembling at 2.45 P.M., Dr. EITEL read to the Board the following Minute of the Gov-

ernor :--

"I have read the Minutes of proceedings which,

at the desire of the Examiners, have been commu- The resolution proposed by Mr.

nicated to me.

carried by 4 to 1, seems to me to be a very good

The examination can therefore proceed

the basis of that resolution.

(Signed) "J. POPE HENNESSY.

18th January, 1881.”

Dr. CHALMERS stated that he had ascertained during the recess that nothing had been done by

the Central School teachers with regard to the examination of the Chinese Classes, and that he would therefore now withdraw his objections and consent to act on the Sub-Committee.

It was then unanimously agreed that the Board proceed at once to the examination of the English Classes, and that for the purpose the Board divide itself into three Sub-Committees of two Examiners each, each Sub-Committee taking one of the Di- visions of the Preparatory School and examining each boy according to the rules of the Grant-in- aid Scheme.

It was further agreed that the maximum of

marks should be in Standard I,-40 for reading,

30 for writing and 30 for Arithmetic; in Stand- ard II,-reading 80, writing 25, Arithmetic 25; that two-thirds of the marks be required for a pass in Arithmetic; that 2 mistakes be allowed in reading and writing 10 words in Standard I, and 20 words in Standard II, but that anything beyond that should be counted a failure; Dr. WONG and Mr. SMITH took the III Division, Dr. CHALMERS and Mr. NG CHOY the II Division, Mr. LECHLER and Dr. EITEL the I Division.

The subjoined Special Report by Dr. CHALMERS was presented and read to the Board:-

HONGKONG GOVERNMENT CENTRAL SCHOOL EXAMINATION.

MEMORANDUM, 25th January, 1881.

1. It has been my aim in all that I have said and done during this examination by the Board appointed by His Excellency the Governor, to secure that due allowance be made for the fact that both Masters and Pupils were taken by surprise, having had no warning that any Exami- nation was to be held, much less that it was to be conducted on the lines of the Grant-in-aid System, which fixes Standards for certain subjects to be aimed at by the Master throughout the year, but which are usually attained by more or less of what is called cramming at the close.

2. In making up the Schedules for Special Subjects, of which an abstract is herewith ap- pended, such allowances have been made as I consider fair for the unpreparedness of Masters, Pupils, and Examiners.

3. I consider that the Classes (I & II) examined in Mathematics have done very well.

六至生徒於歲 七至應考人數比平 歐德理參贊提舉

80

4. The higher Chinese Classes (I & II) have

done fairly well, as also the IIIrd and the Prepara-

tory Classes, the Schedules of which have already

been handed to Dr. EITEL.

5. The Classes for Translation are barely

passable. According to the Schedules prepared

by Mr. LECHLER and myself, if 50/% of the total maximum of marks be required for a pass, the results are :--

I CLASS.

6 passed, 17 failed,

III CLASS.

10 passed,

13 failed,

II CLASS.

4 passed,

17 failed,

IV CLASS.

14 passed,

As I have put them, however, allowing 45 %

On the whole, I incline to think that one-half

of those presented might be allowd to pass, placing

the Standard at the very lowest. But even then, scarcely anything has been attained above it. This is not very great success. And we cannot but remark on the fact that scarcely any of the Chinese boys produced in translation into English a single grammatical sentence. We were also struck by the absence of style in the renderings into Chinese, varieties of Canton Colloquial and even mandarin Colloquial being mixed up with book-phrases.

6. I do not condemn the system of moving up boys from lower classes to higher in the middle of the year altogether. Dr. STEWART, no doubt, could give good reasons for the practice; but I think there has been too much of it towards the close of the past year, which has seriously affected the results of the present Examination.

7. With regard to the total number of boys presented to us for examination, I think the

reason for its being much smaller than that of the School Roll must be obvious to any one, without detracting anything from the efficiency or disci- pline of the School. In order to get the true numbers, the Masters' Examination-papers and the answers they received should be compared with ours.

It was proposed by Dr. EITEL, seconded by Mr. SMITH, and agreed to nem. con.:-

"That Dr. CHALMERS' Report embodies the general views of the Examiners as re- gards the principal points to which it refers."

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 5th February, 1881.

FREDERICK STEWART,

Acting Colonial Secretary.

GOVERNMENT GARDENS,

HONGKONG, 21st December, 1876.

SIR,-I have the honour of submitting the following Report on the Government Gardens for the information of His Excellency the Governor.

2. When I presented my first Report, on the 31st December, 1872, it was my intention to furnish one annually, but I was afterwards deterred from doing so by circumstances which it is not necessary to particularize. I now, however, have been induced to submit this Report in consequence of the fre- quent inquiries which have, from time to time, been made for it by the public. I venture to hope, therefore, that this effort to instruct and interest will be acceptable.

3. The very numerous inquiries on horticultural matters, and the increased interest taken in the private gardens of the Colony by the proprietors, indicate a healthy state of horticultural progress, which, no doubt, has been greatly stimulated by the Flower Shows which have been annually held in the Government Gardens for the last four years, partially under Government auspices, and especially favoured and promoted by His Excellency Sir ARTHUR KENNEDY.

4. Besides maintaining the old gardens in an orderly state, but little improvement or alteration has been effected in them, as the new gardens, which are about half an acre larger, have, in laying them out and planting, nearly absorbed all the extra time and means available.

5. One of the terrace banks has been broken up, new soil added, and a rugged appearance given by large rough stones brought down from the hills. It has been planted with a collection of succulent plants, such as Cacti, Agaves, Haworthias, Apicras, Fourcroyias, &c., and Yuccas, Beaucarnias, and Dasylirions, received in exchange for other plants and seeds, through the generosity of Dr. HOOKER, of Kew, and Messrs. HAAGE and SMIDTT, of Erfurt. A tolerably good collection has been brought toge- ther, and it will, doubtless, prove a very interesting feature in a few years, when the plants will have I attained good proportions. The collection has, already, an attractive appearance. As it increases, propose to carry it along other banks which are at present turfed over.

6. Along the terrace walk next to the Band Stand an avenue of trees has been formed of Grevillea robusta, the Australian "Silky Oak." It has, for the first year, made excellent progress.

7. A beginning was made this year of bringing together into groups the shrubs which are scatter- ed all over the lawns quite irrespective of any arrangement, picturesque or otherwise. This work, when the demands of the new garden begin to be less, should be continued until the whole presents an orderly and systematic appearance.

8. A good number of small trees of large growing species, newly introduced, have been planted near the sides of some of the walks, so that, besides the botanical variety, they will, when they grow up, supply an increased amount of shade and shelter, which are required by visitors and plants alike.

9. The parts of the new garden which have been put under cultivation are now complete so far as drains, walks, turfing, and planting are concerned, but, of course, every year will bring its own work in relation to transplanting and cultivation of plants, shrubs, &c.

10. Two plots of ground are reserved specially for Coniferous plants and Palms, to receive yearly additions as the new introductions become large and strong enough for final transplanting.

11. The Palms, generally, have made as satisfactory progress as could be expected in our soil and climate, but the growth is far short of what it is under more congenial conditions. I think, however, that when the plants are a few years older-some are yet but very small seedlings-they will well repay

the attention which they receive. There are now nearly 50 species in the gardens.

12. The Coniferous plants are being annually increased by new species. Nearly all the Japanese and Australian Conifers that have been tried have succeeded, more especially the latter, better than I anticipated when the first plants were procured. This is a class which, I think, does not receive so much attention in decorative gardening in this Colony as it should do.

13. Beds of Camellias and Azaleas have been made in positions suitable to their requirements, and both are in a vigorous state of health. Camellias, if grown in pots for more than a few years, are so difficult to preserve in health in Hongkong, that growers would find much more satisfaction in having

87

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 5TH FEBRUARY, 1881.

them planted out, when they have convenience to do so. As soon as a convenient opportunity offers, we ought to introduce some of the excellent varieties of both Camellias and Azaleas which are in cul- tivation in Europe. A collection of new varieties of Azaleas was sent out from England a few months ago, but, most unfortunately, the Captain of the steamer in which they were, put them between decks on the passage up from Singapore, and consequently all the plants succumbed to the absence of light, and possibly the accumulated heat.

14. A new Fernery has been constructed in the Glenealy Ravine, in the new gardens. One portion is planted chiefly with indigenous ferns, and the other side of the walk with exotic ferns, lycopodiums, and a few other shade-loving plants only. All have become well established, and are luxuriating in their new positions, especially the tree ferns (Alsophila tomentosa Hk., and Alsophila australis Br.). which have done remarkably well. It is my intention to extend this Fernery as new species are acquired

15. In the same ravine, and joining the Fernery, specimens of each of the kinds of Dracaena which we have have been planted in the open ground, and these also, by their health and size, show how well the situation agrees with them. These, as soon as we shall be able to propagate and distribute them, will, I am sure, become great favourites for pot cultivation, like the many varieties of Coleus which we have distributed, and which are now seen in almost every garden and verandah in the Colony.

16. The whole of the ground in the new gardens, and those places in the old ones where any- thing has been planted, was trenched to a depth of from three to four feet, the stone and rocks, where they occurred, blasted and removed, and where shrubberies and plants are situated, part of the poor soil has been removed, and quantities of a better nature, together with manure and decayed leaf-soil, substituted and mixed with the other soil. Many hundreds of gallons of ammoniacal liquor were poured on much of the soil at the time of trenching. For this liquor, which has also been extensively used for the fertilization of the grass on the lawns, we have to thank Mr. NEWTON, the Manager of the Gas Works, who has liberally allowed us to have the liquid for taking it away. The soil used for im- proving the garden soil is taken from the surface of the hills to a depth of a few inches, or as far as it appears to contain humus accumulated from the decay of the vegetation growing thereon. All this labour, which is necessary to improve the extremely hard and barren decomposed granite of which the garden soil is composed, renders planting works much more expensive than in countries where the soil is naturally good. Besides the heavy trenching and transport of soil, all the water which is used in the gardens during the dry season has to be carried from streamlets in ravines outside of the gardens. It is to be hoped that when the town obtains the projected new water supply, the gardens will receive some benefit from it, by having a continuous supply laid on at convenient places throughout the grounds.

17. Some Monkeys having been presented to the gardens, a house was erected for their accommo- dation. Several additions have since been made, and it is now tolerably well stocked.

18. An octagon shaped aviary was also constructed this year, for the reception of Queensland Parrots, &c., which my correspondents, Mr. W. HILL, Director of the Brisbane Botanic Gardens, and Mr. L. A. BERNAYS, Vice-President of the Queensland Acclimatisation Society, have kindly sent up. Mr. HILL, also very kindly forwarded me a pair of Black Swans, which I wished to try on the Bowrington Canal, but, I regret to say, they frequently escaped into the harbour, and finally disappeared altogether.

19. An attempt was made to get the plants in the gardens labelled for the information of the Public, but from want of time to give that attention which the work required, I was obliged to abandon it, and merely to label a few plants in an obscure style for our own use only. I fully expected when I assumed the management of this Department, that long before this time qualified assistance to carry on this and other work would have been given. It is very much to be regretted that much useful work should have to remain unaccomplished for the want of a little assistance, which I have several times suggested; in fact, what in England are considered the most simple things in garden economy, cannot be effected here in consequence of this deficiency. A Chinaman who could read and write English would be of great service in keeping the plants labelled, receiving written instructions, getting together collections for distribution, arranging plants properly, and acquiring their names, &c. A man who could do such work could be procured for not more than from $15 to $20 per month.

20. The interchange of plants and seeds has been continually increasing, but I very much regret to say that, owing to want of convenience and aid to carry out the work properly, I have been com- pelled in several cases to decline attempting to establish interchanges with correspondents who have kindly offered to reciprocate in things that would be most valuable to this establishment. I may here take the opportunity of thanking the various firms and Captains of vessels who have kindly conveyed plants free of all charges for us, especially Messrs. GIBB, LIVINGSTON & Co., and the Captains of the steamers Argyll and Hindostan.

21. Since the last report the receipts have been 1,158 packets of seeds and 2,841 plants, from 51 contributors.

22. During the past summer I made a trip to India, and collected there, in Penang and at Singa- pore, a great number of plants and seeds, which I brought back with me, thus adding to the gardens about seventy valuable species which were not included before. Much useful information was also acquired, which has been and will be of great service.

23. The number of recipients of plants and seeds was 64, to whom 749 packets of seeds and 3,596 plants were sent.

I have drawn up a list of Plants which are in cultivation in these Gardens; it is in the printers' hands, and will shortly be ready for distribution.

TREE CULTIVATION.

26. Since my last report the cultivation of trees has been greatly extended in a new direction, viz., the rearing and planting of Pinus sinensis on the hills. Before this was done, trees were only planted along the streets and roads for shade; but now we annually plant many thousands on the hills above and surrounding the town. This tree is the one which has been found, by experience, to thrive the best of all yet tried on exposed situations; in fact, but few or none of those attempted (and experiments with other species have been made every year) will thrive at all on the higher grounds. Exposure and the hardness of the soil prevent the trees growing. All the trees experimented with on the hills, thrive well in made and sheltered ground in the gardens.

27. The whole of the Bowrington plantation has been replanted with Pinus sinensis, and the trees are now doing well.

28. In compliance with the wishes of Captain Superintendent DEANE, we have raised a quantity of the Blue Gum tree (Eucalyptus globulus), and planted them adjacent to the Police Stations at Cause- way Bay, Shau-ki-wán, Stanley and Aberdeen, for the sake of the prophylactic qualities which they are supposed to possess. During the past season the young trees have become well established.

29. The Surveyor General having complained of the injury caused to drains, channels, walls, &c., by the roots of Ficus retusa, with which nearly all the streets and roads are planted, I have introduced other kinds when vacancies have occurred owing to removals for street improvements and the de- struction of them by typhoons and other causes. So far, most of them have succeeded, but I anticipate, a greater annual expenditure to maintain them in a healthy and progressive state than is required for the Ficus retusa, as it is very doubtful if they will grow with as little attention to soil as the latter requires. Those planted have had the soil broken up and prepared as far as the roots have yet gone, and this work will have to be continued every year as the roots extend. To do this, it will be neces- sary to break up the roads, a proceeding which will not only be troublesome but expensive.

30. The following are the new species planted :-

Cedrela australis (Australian Red Cedar) Swietenia Mahogani (Mahogany tree). Castanospermum australe (Moreton Bay Chestnut). Dryandra cordata.

Ailanthus glandulosa.

Bauhinia purpurea.

Sterculia nobilis.

Do. lanceolata.

Camphora officinalis (Camphor tree).

Putranjiva Roxburghü.

Celtis sinensis.

32. The nutritious qualities of the Guinea grass (Panax maximum) being considered much greater than those of the indigenous grasses, and the supply being very limited in the Colony, a large quantity was propagated and planted on a piece of ground on the hill-side, and kept under Government manage- ment for two years. The Chinaman who was living on the ground and had the direct management of it, was then permitted to rent the farm from the Government, and he is now making his living by the sale of the grass. It was thought that when the Government had introduced the cultivation, other enterprising coolies would apply for ground to extend it, but, as yet, no one has done so.

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

GOVERNMENT HOUSE, HONGKONG, 2nd August, 1880.

MY LORD,-In Sir MICHAEL HICKS BEACH'S Circular Despatch of the 24th of February last, he presses upon my consideration the subject of the preservation and re-establishment of forests as one of great and increasing importance, in which the health and prosperity of the Colony may be very deeply

concerned.

2. Small as my experience of Her Majesty's Colonies has been, it has long since convinced me that there is a general tendency to under-estimate the necessity of local action on this subject, and that even in Colonies with apparently the most limited scope in this respect, something ought to be done. I have not, therefore, been entirely forgetful, since my arrival here, of the advantages of tree preservation and tree planting in Hongkong, but I was unwilling, until I could point to some actual results, to trouble the Secretary of State with any report of what I was doing.

3. On my arrival in Hongkong, I found that Mr. FORD was on leave of absence in England, and that tree planting had been temporarily placed under the superintendence of Mr. PRICE, the Surveyor General. Early in the summer of 1877, I advised Mr. PRICE that, on sanitary and other grounds, the operation of the so-called Forest Department should be extended. In reply to my enquiries on the subject, he had informed me that the waste lands of the Colony capable of being wooded comprised about ten thousand acres, and the average number of seedling trees planted per annum was about 15,000. In his report of the 28th of August, 1877, he said:

"If our planting operations were continued at their present tortoise speed, viz., at the rate of 15,000 "trees a year, it would take us eleven hundred years to complete the job."

4. In laying Mr. PRICE'S interesting report before the Legislative Council on the 12th of November, 1877, I said:-

"I think the time has come when the Colony should deal in a more comprehensive manner with "the question of tree planting, * * * with a vote of $2,000 a year to be expended on forming "nurseries for seedlings and paying a regularly organized staff of tree planters, we shall be able in a "few years to transform the appearance of this island and permanently improve its sanitary condition."

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

concerned.

5. The enclosed extracts from the local papers show that this proposal was well received. The Legislative Council not only sanctioned it at once, but, having watched the beneficial effect of the vote, they have allowed me to increase it from year to year, and I am now asking them to sanction an expenditure in 1881 of $10,000 on tree planting.

I

6. Sir MICHAEL HICKS BEACH was good enough to allow me (despatch No. 4 of 15th February, 1878) to engage, as a temporary measure, the services of a European Forester at a cost of $1,200 per annum. The engagement with this forester having terminated on the 31st of last December, have practically retained this sum on the Estimates by giving $600 additional to Mr. FORD, the Superintendent of Gardens and Plantations, and spending the remaining $600 on Chinese foresters, Clerk and Interpreter and General Works.

7. M. PRICE's report of the 28th of August, 1877, which I published in the Government Gazette No. 50 of 1877, undoubtedly_reflected on the Tree Planting Department. It was printed, however, during Mr. FORD's absence in England, and when I was not in a position to test the accuracy of all its details. Last October, Mr. FORD transmitted to the Colonial Secretary a Report on tree planting in Hongkong, in which he defends his Department from some of Mr. PRICE's criticisms. Mr. FORD also asserts that seventy-five per cent perished of the young trees planted during the time Mr. PRICE was in temporary charge of the tree planting.

8. No doubt, the great majority of the seedlings planted on the hill sides in 1878 and early in 1879, have died, and for the reasons given by Mr. FORD. So far, a serious failure has marked the first steps in my attempt at afforestation on a large scale. On the other hand, in the minor work of planting along the sides of the Kennedy Road and the Peak Road and in transporting large trees (30 and 40 feet high) to a short new road leading from St. PAUL'S College to Mr. GIBB's house, Mr. PRICE was entirely successful, though at a cost somewhat out of proportion to the limited result achieved.

9. That afforestation has now been taken thoroughly in hand, your Lordship will see from Mr. FORD's recent report of the 15th of May, 1880. Instead of planting out 15,000 trees per annum, Mr. FORD has already planted 60,000 this year, and he anticipates a total of over a quarter of a million for the year's work.

10. With the cooperation of the Chinese, to which Mr. FORD refers in paragraph 6 of his report, we may, perhaps, be able, from the middle of next year, to plant out half a million of trees per annum. 11. I have confined the planting to the native pine tree, the Pinus sinensis, only. The nurseries contain seedlings of indigenous oaks, casuarinas, and other hardy and valuable timber trees.

29. During 1878, about five thousand cocoa-nut palms were planted by Mr. PRICE on Stone Cutters' Island, at Bowrington, and close to the village of Aberdeen. These trees will be ornamental, though, at this latitude, they do not bear ripe nuts.

13. On the important sanitary question of cultivating the Eucalyptus in Hongkong, I have the honour to lay before Your Lordship a brief report by Mr. FORD, which I called for and printed in the Government Gazette in March, 1879. Up to that time, it appears that only four hundred seedlings of the Eucalyptus Globulosa had been planted in the Colony, and of these but one hundred survived. On receiving Mr. FORD's report, I instructed him to take the necessary steps for getting four thousand seedlings of another species of Eucalyptus which grows in a climate resembling that of Hongkong. I hope to increase this number to twenty thousand next year.

14. Accompanying Mr. FORD's report of May, 1880, are some photographs that may, perhaps, enable Your Lordship to understand more clearly what we have been attempting to do in the way of tree planting than anything I could say in a Despatch. No. 1 shows the Kau-lung nursery, containing this year's seedlings, with some patches of little trees two years old. The boundary of the British territory runs between the two hills at the right. The hills in the extreme distance are in Chinese territory. No. 2 is the Sò-kon-p'ò nursery, about a mile from the eastern extremity of the town of Victoria. The Chinese gardeners and farmers are very skilful in utilizing uneven and sloping ground so as to admit of irrigation, and this is well shown in the Sò-kon-p'ò nursery. In the left corner of the photograph are some groups of trees which have been preserved by the villagers who were settled on this spot before our occupation of Hongkong. No. 3 shows a spur of Mount Gough above the Kennedy Road and overlooking the harbour. All the trees on it have been planted within the last eight months. The Banyans on the left are about fifteen feet high; then come bamboos, indigenous oaks in the middle, and Pinus sinensis on the right, about six feet high. The hill visible on the other side of the water is Chinese territory. No. 4 is an avenue at Bowrington of bamboos, casuarinas and pines, planted five years ago by Mr. FORD. The pine trees on the hill behind the Forester's Lodge are a few of those that were on the Island when the British Flag was first raised. They are about forty feet high. No. 5 shows Victoria Peak, and some houses just behind Government House. The highest trees on the left are some of those planted in 1877. The darker mass lower down and just at the back of the houses, are trees planted by Mr. FORD in 1875. The Peak Road runs beneath this plantation, and through the plantations of 1877 and 1878. Under the road, and to the right, are nurseries of the tree planting Department, and higher up is a Guinea grass farm. In the foreground on the right are Pinus sinensis, planted by Mr. FORD in 1874, and on the left, indigenous vegetation. No. 6 shows the indigenous trees in what is called Little Hongkong Wood. I have ordered a careful survey of this district to be made, and I have asked Mr. FORD to prepare a special report on the best means of preserving and utilizing it.

15. I take this opportunity of laying before Your Lordship some papers that I printed for the Legislative Council last year respecting the rival claims of Mr. PRICE and Mr. FORD to be Superintendent of the Gardens and Tree Planting Department. Your Lordship had duly appointed Mr. FORD to this office in 1871; and Governor Sir RICHARD MACDONNELL issued the necessary Minutes, under which the Government Gardens and the Planting of Trees were declared to be under the sole control of Mr. FORD, who was to render all accounts for his Department.

16. Subsequently, Mr. PRICE arrived in the Colony and induced Governor Sir ARTHUR KENNEDY to make the Gardens a sub-Department of the Surveyor General's Office. Mr. FORD was, however, left the sole control of the aboricultural Department. During Mr. FORD's absence in 1877, I trans- mitted to Sir MICHAEL HICKS BEACH a further proposal of Mr. PRICE to get rid altogether of Mr. FORD. Sir MICHAEL HICKS BEACH did not, however, approve of this suggestion of Mr. PRICE, and he transmitted to me for my guidance a memorandum of Sir JOSEPH HOOKER, recommending that I should recur to the original plan and encourage Mr. FORD to enlarge the scope of his activity. Accordingly, I replaced Mr. FORD in the position to which he had been originally appointed by Your Lordship, and in which he had been installed by Sir RICHARD MACDONNELL. This was unani- mously approved by the Legislative Council. It was felt to be a simple act of justice to Mr. FORD, and it has contributed more than anything else to the successful afforestation of the Island that is now proceeding, and to the present satisfactory state also of the Government Gardens.

17. The enclosed Report by Mr. FORD on the Gardens and Plantations, dated 15th April, 1880, shows how well this interesting Department is now conducted.

SIR,-Before commencing tree-planting operations for 1881, I beg to have the honour of submit- ting the appended scheme of the proposed localities, and number of trees to be planted, and seeds sown in situ in them, for the approval of His Excellency the Governor.

The increase in the tree-planting vote placed at my disposal for next year, will enable us to increase the annual number of trees planted by the large number of 600,000, which will cover an area of about 500 acres, giving a total for next year of about 800,000 trees, on about 666 acres of land planted.

I have, &c.,

SIR,-I have read with interest the account given in your despatches No. 116 of the 2nd of August and No. 181 of the 2nd of November, of the planting operations which are being carried on in the Colony, and I am glad to express my satisfaction at the energetic steps which are being taken in this direction.

I wish to be kept informed, from time to time, of the progress which is made in preserving and re-establishing the woods and plantations of Hongkong.

The printed reports and photographs which accompanied your despatches, have, I presume, been transmitted to Sir J. HOOKER by Mr. FORD; if not, he should forward them at once, adopting the same course in regard to his Annual Reports in future.

By His Excellency's Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 12th February, 1881.

FREDERICK STEWART,

Acting Colonial Secretary.

DOWNING STREET, 22nd December, 1880.

SIR,-I have the honour to transmit to you, for information and publication in the Colony under your Government, a copy of an Order of the Queen in Council of the 20th of November last, exempting from remeasurement in this Country, ships of the Russian Empire and of the Grand Duchy of Finland, the measurement whereof, after the 20th of December, 1879, and the 1st of June, 1877, respectively, has been ascertained and denoted in the Registers and other National papers of such ships.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient humble Servant,

KIMBERLEY.

The Officer Administering the Government of

HONGKONG.

AT THE COURT AT BALMORAL,

The 20th day of November 1880~ `

PRESENT,

THE QUEEN'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY IN COUNCIL.

Whereas by "The Merchant Shipping Act Amendment Act, 1862," it is enacted that whenever it is made to appear to Her Majesty that the rules concerning the measurement of tonnage of merchant ships for the time being in force under the principal Act have been adopted by the Government of any foreign country, and are in force in that country, it shall be lawful for Her Majesty by Order in Council, to direct that the ships of such foreign country shall be deemed to be of the tonnage denoted in their certificate of registry or other national papers, and thereupon, it shall no longer be necessary for such ships to be re-measured in any port or place in Her Majesty's dominions, but such ships shall be deemed to be of the tonnage denoted in their certificates of registry or other papers, in the same manner, to the same extent, and for the same purposes, in, to, and for which the tonnage denoted in the certificate of registry of British ships is to be deemed the tonnage of such ships:

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," have been adopted by the Governments of Russia and the Grand Duchy of Finland, with the exception, as regards Russian steam ships, of a slight difference in the mode of estimating the allowance for engine room, and such rules are now in force in those countries, having come into operation at the following dates, viz. in Russia on the 20th day of December 1879, and in the Grand Duchy of Finland on the 1st day of June 1877:

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 of the said Russian Empire, the measure- ment whereof after the said 20th day of December 1879, has been ascertained and denoted in the registers and other national papers of such sailing ships, testified by the date thereof, and merchant sailing ships of the said Grand Duchy of Finland, the measurement whereof has after the said 1st day of June 1877 been ascertained, denoted, and testified as aforesaid, 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 the said Russian Empire which are propelled by steam or any other power requiring engine room, the measurement whereof shall, after the said 20th day of December 1879, have been ascertained and denoted in the registers and other national papers of such steam ships, testified by the dates thereof, and that merchant steam ships belonging to the said Grand Duchy of Finland, the measurement whereof has after the said 1st day of June 1877, been ascertained, denoted, and testified, as aforesaid, 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 Russian steam ship desires the deduction for engine room in his ships to be estimated under the rules for engine room measurement and deduction applicable to British ships instead of under the Russian rule, the engine room shall be measured and the deduction calculated according to the British rules.

NG CHOY,

Acting Police Magistrate.

CORONER'S OFFICE,

21st February, 1881.

SIR,-I have the honour to forward herewith, for the information of His Excellency the Governor, Returns of Coroner's Inquests, &c. for the year 1880.

Table A gives the total number of all cases, from which it appears that there were 60 inquests held in 1880 and 102 in 1879, while the number of burials without Inquest were, for 1880-133, and for 1879-104; the total number of cases coming under the observation of the Coroner being 193 in 1880 and 206 in 1879.

Table B gives the number of Inquests held, with the Verdicts obtained, nearly half being "Accidental death."

Table C gives the number of Burials without Inquest, with the reason why none was held.

or

It will be seen that nearly half of these were decomposed bodies and concerning which there was no evidence, all but one being unknown.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient Servant,

To the Honourable F. STEWART, LL.D.,

official duties.

II. In the interpretation of this Ordinance, the expres- sion "Governor of Macao" shall include the person for the time being administering the Government of Macao.

The expression "territory of Macao" shall extend to any place within the jurisdiction of the Government of Macao, and shall include the high seas.

The expression "Superintendent of the Gaol" shall mean the Superintendent of Victoria Gaol or the keeper of any prison or place of custody for criminals within this Colony.

III. In case requisition is at any time made by the Governor of Macao to the Governor of this Colony to deliver up to Justice any person who, being accused or convicted of any of the crimes and offences specified in the First Schedule of this Ordinance, and alleged to have been com- mitted either before or after the passing of this Ordinance within the territory of Macao, has taken refuge within this Colony, the Governor of this Colony may, if he in his discretion thinks fit, by Warrant under his hand and seal signify that such requisition has been made, and require the Police Magistrates to govern themselves accordingly and to aid in apprehending the person so accused or con- victed, and hereinafter referred to as the fugitive.

IV. Upon the issue of such, Warrant any Police Magis- trate may issue his Warrant for the apprehension of the fugitive, and if he be already in custody, issue an order to the Superintendent of the Gaol forthwith to bring the fugitive before him to be dealt with in manner hereinafter provided.

V. If the fugitive be apprehended, or if he be already in custody, he shall be brought forthwith before the Mag- ̋istrate, and the following conditions and regulations shall

be complied with:

1. There must be the production before the Magistrate of a valid Warrant of Arrest issued by a Judge or other competent Magistrate having authority within the territory of Macao to take cognizance of the crime charged, and clearly setting forth such crime. 2. In the case of a person accused but not convicted, such evidence shall be produced to the Magistrate as would in his opinion justify the apprehension of the fugitive if the crime of which he is accused had been committed within the jurisdiction of this Col- ony, with this qualification,—that copies of deposi- tions signed or taken before any such Judge or other competent Magistrate as aforesaid and authenticated in manner hereinafter provided may be received in evidence of the criminality of the fugitive.

3. In the case of a person convicted, a copy of the conviction, authenticated in manner hereinafter pro- vided, shall be produced: But if it should appear that the conviction was pronounced in the absence of the accused for contumacy in not having surrendered to take his trial, the same evidence shall be produced to the Magistrate as in the case of a person accused but not convicted.

4. In every case proof of the identity of the fugitive must be given to the satisfaction of the Magistrate. 5. Warrants of Arrest and copies of depositions, signed or taken before any such Judge or other competent Magistrate, as aforesaid, and copies of convictions, shall be received in evidence, if the Warrant of Arrest purports to be signed by such Judge or Magistrate and if the copies of depositions purport to be certified under the hand of such Judge or Magistrate to be true copies of the original depositions, and if the copy of the conviction purport to be certified under the hand of the Judge of the Court by which the fugitive was convicted to be a true copy of the ori- ginal conviction. The signature of every such Judge or Magistrate and his authority to take cognizance of the crime or offence charged, shall be sufficiently proved if the document purport to be sealed with the official seal of the Governor of Macao, and all Courts of Justice in this Colony shall, for the purpose of this Ordinance, take judicial notice of such seal, and shall admit the documents so authenticated by it to be received in evidence without further proof.

¿

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 5TH MARCH, 1881.

6. The original Warrant of Arrest and the copy of the depositions, or, as the case may be, the copy of the conviction, shall be read to the fugitive, and he shall be asked if he has any valid cause to show why he should not be committed to Gaol to await the Order of the Governor in Council.

VI. If the fugitive fails to show cause to the satisfaction of the Magistrate why he should not be committed, and if the Magistrate is of opinion that there is sufficient primâ facie evidence to establish the criminality of the fugitive, he shall commit him to Gaol, there to await the Order of the Governor in Council: Provided that before any such com- mittal, the Magistrate shall inform the fugitive that a period of fifteen days will be allowed him to appeal to the Supreme Court if he shall think fit, under Section 7, or to apply for a writ of Habeas Corpus.

VII. Ordinance 4 of 1858 as to appeals from the deci- sions of Magistrates shall not apply to proceedings under this Ordinance, but the following rules as to appeals shall be observed, that is to say :-

1. If the fugitive desires to appeal to the Supreme Court against a Magistrate's Order of committal and notifies such desire to the Magistrate at any time before the expiration of fifteen days from the date of such Order; or if the Attorney General desires to appeal to the Supreme Court against a Magistrate's Order of discharge of a fugitive and notifies such de- sire to the Magistrate at any time before the actual discharge of the fugitive, the Magistrate shall, sub- ject to the provision in Rule 3 hereinafter contained, grant such appeal and transmit forthwith to the Registrar of the Supreme Court the depositions and all other documents relating to the case, together with any statement in writing which he may think fit to annex in relation thereto.

2. If the appeal is by the Attorney General against an Order of discharge, such Order shall be suspended until the conclusion of the appeal, and the fugitive shall be detained in custody until further Order of the Magistrate, or of the Supreme Court.

3. If the appeal is by a fugitive against an Order of committal and the Magistrate has reason to believe that the appeal is merely frivolous, he may refuse to grant the same.

4. In case the Magistrate refuses to grant an appeal to a fugitive on the ground that the same is frivolous, the Supreme Court may, if it thinks fit, upon the fugitive's petition in writing, setting forth the grounds of appeal, make an Order directing the Magistrate to grant the appeal.

5. The Magistrate shall cause notice of his intention to discharge a fugitive (otherwise than in pursuance of any decision of the Supreme Court), and also of any appeal by a fugitive against his committal, to be served upon the Crown Solicitor, and no fugitivę. shall be discharged by a Magistrate (otherwise than aforesaid), unless the Attorney General has had an opportunity of being heard in opposition thereto, and of giving notice of appeal.

6. Every appeal under this Ordinance may be heard in Vacation and either in Court or in Chambers, and shall be set down for hearing on such early day and at such hour as the Chief Justice appoints, notice whereof shall be given in writing by the Registrar to the Superintendent of the Gaol, who shall on the day and hour appointed bring the fugitive before the Chief Justice; and on the hearing of the appeal the Chief Justice may, if he thinks fit, receive any new evidence and may either affirm or reverse the decision of the Magistrate according as he is of opinion that there is, or is not, sufficient primâ facie evidence of the criminality of the fugitive or that the conditions and regulations of Section 5 have, or have not, been complied with, and may order the fugitive to be committed to gaol or to be discharged, as the case may be, or make any other Order with respect to the said matter as may be requisite to the due adjudica- tion thereof.

VIII. The Magistrate before whom a fugitive is brought under this Ordinance shall, at the conclusion of the case, send a Report thereon to the Governor,

X. No Extradition Order shall be granted by the Gov- ernor in Council in any case where in the opinion of the Governor in Council the requisition for the extradition of the fugitive has been made for political reasons or a political offence is involved in the crime charged; but it shall not be open to the fugitive to claim his discharge from custody on such ground before any Judge or Magistrate, and any at- tempt against the life of the Governor or of any Public Officer or member of the Government of Macao shall not be deemed a political offence.

ARRÊTE:

Article premier.-Est promulgué, dans toute l'étendue de la colonie, le décret du 11 janvier 1881, qui approuve la délibération du Conseil colonial du il novembre 1880, aux termes de laquelle les riz et paddys importés de Cochinchine en France et dans les autres établissements d'outre-mer, par navires français, sont dégrevés de la surtaxe de cinq cents ajoutée, par un vote de la même assemblée, aux droits à la sortie dont sont frappées lesdites denrées.

ANNONCE HYDROGRAPHIQUE.

AVIS AUX NAVIGATEURS.

LE MYRE DE VILERS.

Le 20 janvier dernier, le vapeur Octavia, calant 18 pieds anglais, se rendait de Bangkok à Hongkong et faisait route le long des côtes de l'Annam. Il venait de passer entre l'île Tortue et la terre, et se trouvait par 14° 30′ de latitude nord, lorsqu'il toucha sur une roche qui lui a enlevé toute une partie de sa coque. Il n'a dû son salut qu'à ses balastings.

Les parages où est arrivé cet accident étant très-fréquentés par nos bâtiments de guerre et les vapeurs de commerce, l'Administration locale a cru devoir porter le fait à la connaissance des navigateurs, en attendant une connaissance parfaite de la position de la roche.

179

"Her Majesty the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, Alfred Guthrie Graham Bonar, Esquire, Her Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to the Swiss Con- federation;

"And the Federal Council of the Swiss Confederation, Joseph Martin Knüsel, Member of the Swiss Federal Council;

66

Who, after having communicated to each other their respective full powers, found in good and due form, have agreed upon and concluded the following Articles :-

"The crimes for which the extradition is to be granted are the following:-

"(1.) Murder (including infanticide) and attempt to murder.

"(2.) Manslaughter.

"(3.) Counterfeiting or altering money, uttering or bringing into circulation counterfeit or

altered money.

"(4.)

66

(17.) Perjury or subornation of perjury.

(18.) Malicious injury to property, if the offence be indictable.

66

"The extradition is also to take place for participation in any of the aforesaid crimes, as an accessory before or after the fact.

ARTICLE III.

"No Swiss shall be delivered up by Switzerland to the Government of the United Kingdom; and no subject of the United Kingdom shall be delivered up by the Government thereof to Switzerland. -

ARTICLE IV.

"The extradition shall not take place if the person claimed on the part of the Government of the United Kingdom, or the person claimed on the part of the Swiss Government, has already been tried and discharged or punished, or is still under trial, in one of the Swiss Cantons or in the United Kingdom respectively, for the crime for which his extradition is demanded.

"If the person claimed on the part of the Government of the United Kingdom, or if the person claimed on the part of the Swiss Government, should be under examination, or have been condemned for any other crime, in one of the Swiss Cantons or in the United Kingdom respectively, his extradition may be deferred until he shall have been set at liberty in due course of law.

"In case such individual should be proceeded against or detained in the country in which he has taken refuge, on account of obligations contracted towards private individuals, his extradition shall, nevertheless, take place; the injured party retaining his right to prosecute his claims before the com- petent authority.

180

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 12TH MARCH, 1891.

ARTICLE V.

"The extradition shall not take place if, subsequently to the commission of the crime, or the institution of the penal prosecution, or the conviction thereon, exemption from prosecution or punish- ment has been acquired by lapse of time, according to the laws of the State applied to.

ARTICLE VI.

"If the individual claimed by one of the two Contracting Parties in pursuance of the present Treaty should be also claimed by one or several other Powers, on account of other crimes committed upon their respective territories, his surrender shall be granted to that State whose demand is earliest in date; unless any other arrangement should be made between the Governments which have claimed him, either on account of the gravity of the crimes committed, or for any other reason.

ARTICLE VII.

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

ARTICLE VIII.

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

"This stipulation does not apply to crimes committed after the extradition.

ARTICLE IX.

"The requisition for extradition must always be made by the way of diplomacy, and to wit, in Switzerland by the British Minister to the President of the Confederation, and in the United Kingdom to the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs by the Consul-General of Switzerland, who, for the purposes of this Treaty, is hereby recognised by Her Majesty as a Diplomatic Representative of Switzerland.

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

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

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

ARTICLE X.

"A fugitive criminal may, however, be apprehended under a warrant issued by any police magis- trate, justice of the peace, or other competent authority, in either country, on such information or complaint, together with such evidence or after such judicial proceedings as would in the opinion of the officer issuing the warrant justify its issue, if the crime had been committed in that part of the dominions of the two Contracting Parties in which he exercises jurisdiction. Provided, however, that in the United Kingdom the accused shall in such case be sent as speedily as possible before a police magistrate in London. Such requisition may be made by means of the post or by telegraph.

"The accused shall, however, be discharged if, within such reasonable time as, with reference to the circumstances of the case, the police magistrate may fix, the requisition shall not have been made according to the stipulations contained in Article IX.

ARTICLE XI.

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

ARTICLE XII.

"In the examinations which they have to make in accordance with the foregoing stipulations, the authorities of the State applied to shall admit as entirely valid evidence the sworn depositions or state-

181

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 12TH MARCH, 1881. ment of witnesses taken in the other State, or copies thereof, and likewise the warrants and sentences issued therein, provided such documents are signed or certified by a Judge, Magistrate, or Officer of such State, and are authenticated by the oath of some witness, or by being sealed with the official seal of a British Secretary of State, or of the Chancellor of the Swiss Confederation.

ARTICLE XIII.

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

ARTICLE XIV.

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

ARTICLE XV.

And whereas a Protocol amending Article XVI of the aforesaid Treaty was signed by the Pleni- potentiaries of Her Majesty and of the Swiss Confederation on the twenty-eighth day of November, one thousand eight hundred and seventy-four, which Protocol is in the following terms:—

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 12TH MARCH, 1881.

They have directed their attention to the fact that the second paragraph of the XVIth Article of the Treaty, which stipulates that the requisition for the arrest of a fugitive criminal who has taken refuge in any of the Colonies or foreign Possessions of Her Britannic Majesty shall be made through the Swiss Consul-General in London to the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, was not in accord- ance with the law of England, and they have consequently resolved to declare that the second para- graph of that Article beginning:

"The requisition for the arrest,' and concluding with, and the laws of the land,' shall be null and void, and in lieu thereof the following words shall be substituted:

"The requisition for the surrender of a fugitive criminal who has taken refuge in any of such Colonies or foreign Possessions shall be made to the Governor or to the Supreme Authority of such Colony or Possession through the Swiss Consul, or, in case there should be no Swiss Consul, through the Consular Agent of another State charged for the occasion with the Swiss interests in the Colony or Possession in question.

"The Governor or Supreme Authority above-mentioned shall decide with regard to such requisi- tions as nearly as possible in accordance with the provisions of the present Treaty. He will, however, be at liberty either to consent to the extradition or report the case to his Government.'

"The other provisions of Article XVI 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. "In witness whereof the Undersigned have signed this Protocol, and have hereunto affixed their seals.

An Ordinance enacted by the Governor of Hong- kong, with the advice of the Legislative Council thereof, entitled "The Macao Extradition Ordinance, 1881.”

W

[14th March, 1881.]

HEREAS persons who have committed certain crimes within the territory of Macao may escape to this Colony and it is expedient to provide for the appre- hension of such fugitives from Justice and for their sur- render to the Government of Macao in order that they may be dealt with according to Law: Be it enacted by the Governor of Hongkong, with the advice of the Legislative Council thereof, as follows :-

I. This Ordinance may be cited as dition Ordinance, 1881."

"The Macao Extra-

J. POPE HENNESSY.

Governor.

!

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 19TH MARCH, 1881.

II. In the interpretation of this Ordinance, the expres- sion "Governor of Macao" shall include the person for the time being administering the Government of Macao.

The expression "territory of Macao" shall extend to any place within the jurisdiction of the Government of Macao, and shall include the high seas.

The expression "Superintendent of the Gaol" shall mean the Superintendent of Victoria Gaol or the keeper of any prison or place of custody for criminals within this Colony.

III. In case requisition is at any time made by the Governor of Macao to the Governor of this Colony to deliver up to Justice any person who, being accused or convicted of any of the crimes and offences specified in the First Schedule of this Ordinance, and alleged to have been com- mitted either before or after the passing of this Ordinance within the territory of Macao, has taken refuge within this Colony, the Governor of this Colony may, if he in his discretion thinks fit, by Warrant under his hand and seal signify that such requisition has been made, and require the Police Magistrates to govern themselves accordingly and to aid in apprehending the person so accused or con- victed, and hereinafter referred to as the fugitive.

IV. Upon the issue of such Warrant any Police Magis- trate may issue his Warrant for the apprehension of the fugitive, and if he be already in custody, issue an order to the Superintendent of the Gaol forthwith to bring the fugitive before him to be dealt with in manner hereinafter provided.

V. If the fugitive be apprehended, or if he be already in custody, he shall be brought forthwith before the Mag- istrate, and the following conditions and regulations shall be complied with:

1. There must be the production before the Magistrate of a valid Warrant of Arrest issued by a Judge or other competent Magistrate having authority within the territory of Macao to take cognizance of the crime charged, and clearly setting forth such crime. 2. In the case of a person accused but not convicted, such evidence shall be produced to the Magistrate as would in his opinion justify the apprehension of the fugitive if the crime of which he is accused had been committed within the jurisdiction of this Col- ony, with this qualification,-that copies of deposi- tions signed or taken before any such Judge or other competent Magistrate as aforesaid and authenticated in manner hereinafter provided may be received in evidence of the criminality of the fugitive.

3. In the case of a person convicted, a

copy of the conviction, authenticated in manner hereinafter pro- vided, shall be produced: But if it should appear that the conviction was pronounced in the absence of the accused for contumacy in not having surrendered. to take his trial, the same evidence shall be produced to the Magistrate as in the case of a person accused but not convicted.

4. In every case proof of the identity of the fugitive must be given to the satisfaction of the Magistrate. 5. Warrants of Arrest and copies of depositions, signed or taken before any such Judge or other competent Magistrate, as aforesaid, and copies of convictions, shall be received in evidence, if the Warrant of Arrest purports to be signed by such Judge or Magistrate and if the copies of depositions purport to be certified under the hand of such Judge or Magistrate to be true copies of the original depositions, and if the copy of the conviction purport to be certified under the hand of the Judge of the Court by which the fugitive was convicted to be a true copy of the ori- ginal conviction. The signature of every such Judge or Magistrate and his authority to take cognizance of the crime or offence charged, shall be sufficiently proved if the document purport to be sealed with the official seal of the Governor of Macao, and all Courts of Justice in this Colony shall, for the purpose of this Ordinance, take judicial notice of such seal, and shall admit the documents so authenticated by it to be received in evidence without further proof.

6. The original Warrant of Arrest and the copy of the depositions, or, as the case may be, the copy of the conviction, shall be read to the fugitive, and he shall be asked if he has any valid cause to show why he should not be committed to Gaol to await the Order of the Governor in Council.

VI. If the fugitive fails to show cause to the satisfaction of the Magistrate why he should not be committed, and if the Magistrate is of opinion that there is sufficient primâ facie evidence to establish the criminality of the fugitive, he shall commit him to Gaol, there to await the Order of the Governor in Council: Provided that before any such com- mittal, the Magistrate shall inform the fugitive that a period of fifteen days will be allowed him to appeal to the Supreme Court if he shall think fit, under Section 7, or to apply for a writ of Habeas Corpus.

VII. Ordinance 4 of 1858 as to appeals from the deci- sions of Magistrates shall not apply to proceedings under this Ordinance, but the following rules as to appeals shall be observed, that is to say :-

1. If the fugitive desires to appeal to the Supreme Court against a Magistrate's Order of committal and notifies such desire to the Magistrate at any time before the expiration of fifteen days from the date of such Order; or if the Attorney General desires to appeal to the Supreme Court against a Magistrate's Order de- of discharge of a fugitive and notifies such sire to the Magistrate at any time before the actual discharge of the fugitive, the Magistrate shall, sub- ject to the provision in Rule 3 hereinafter contained, grant such appeal and transmit forthwith to the Registrar of the Supreme Court the depositions and all other documents relating to the case, together think with any statement in writing which he may fit to annex in relation thereto.

2. If the appeal is by the Attorney General against an Order of discharge, such Order shall be suspended until the conclusion of the appeal, and the fugitive shall be detained in custody until further Order of the Magistrate, or of the Supreme Court.

3. If the appeal is by a fugitive against an Order of committal and the Magistrate has reason to believe that the appeal is merely frivolous, he may refuse to grant the same.

4. In case the Magistrate refuses to grant an appeal to a fugitive on the ground that the same is frivolous, the Supreme Court may, if it thinks fit, upon the fugitive's petition in writing, setting forth the grounds of appeal, make an Order directing the Magistrate to grant the appeal.

5. The Magistrate shall cause notice of his intention to discharge a fugitive (otherwise than in pursuance of any decision of the Supreme Court), and also of any appeal by a fugitive against his committal, to be served upon the Crown Solicitor, and no fugitive shall be discharged by a Magistrate (otherwise than aforesaid), unless the Attorney General has had an opportunity of being heard in opposition thereto, and of giving notice of appeal.

6. Every appeal under this Ordinance may be heard in Vacation and either in Court or in Chambers, and shall be set down for hearing on such early day and at such hour as the Chief Justice appoints, notice whereof shall be given in writing by the Registrar to the Superintendent of the Gaol, who shall on the day and hour appointed bring the fugitive before the Chief Justice; and on the hearing of the appeal the Chief Justice may, if he thinks fit, receive any new evidence and may either affirm or reverse the decision of the Magistrate according as he is of opinion that there is, or is not, sufficient primâ facie evidence of the criminality of the fugitive or that the conditions and regulations of Section 5 have, or have not, been complied with, and may order the fugitive to be committed to gaol or to be discharged, as the case may be, or make any other Order with respect to the said matter as may be requisite to the due adjudica- tion thereof.

VIII. The Magistrate before whom a fugitive is brought under this Ordinance shall, at the conclusion of the case, send a Report thereon to the Governor.

It shall be lawful for the Governor in Council, if in the discretion of the Governor in Council it seems fit, after the expiration of fifteen days from the date of the committal of a fugitive by a Magistrate or, in case of any proceeding by appeal or writ of Habeas Corpus, then subject to the decision of the Supreme Court thereon, and subject also to the provisions of Sections 10 and 11 hereinafter contained, by Order directed to the Superintendent of the Gaol and hereinafter called an "Extradition Order" to order the fugitive so committed to be delivered to such person as shall by Warrant under the hand and seal of the Governor of Macao be authorized to receive him, and such fugitive shall be delivered up accordingly; and the person authorized as aforesaid may hold such fugitive in custody, and convey him to any place within the territory of Macao, and if such fugitive escapes out of any custody to which he is com- mitted or to which he is delivered as aforesaid, it shall be lawful to retake him in the same manner as any person accused of any felony committed within this Colony may be retaken upon an escape: Provided that in every case where before the expiration of the said period of fifteen days the order of committal has been affirmed on appeal or the fugitive has applied for a writ of Habeas Corpus, and has failed on the return thereof to obtain his discharge, it shall be lawful for the Governor in Council in such discre- tion and subject as aforesaid, to grant an Extradition Order without further delay.

X. No Extradition Order shall be granted by the Gov- ernor in Council in any case where in the opinion of the Governor in Council the requisition for the extradition of the fugitive has been made for political reasons or a political offence is involved in the crime charged; but it shall not be open to the fugitive to claim his discharge from custody on such ground before any Judge or Magistrate, and any at- tempt against the life of the Governor or of any Public Officer or member of the Government of Macao shall not be deemed a political offence.

XII. The Governor in Council may at any time issue an Order directed to the Superintendent of the Gaol for the release of any fugitive in custody under this Ordinance in respect of whom the Governor in Council does not think fit to issue an Extradition Warrant, and thereupon such fugi- tive shall be forthwith discharged from such custody.

XIII. Where any fugitive who has been committed under this Ordinance is not delivered up pursuant thereto, and conveyed out of this Colony within one month after the date of such committal, the Chief Justice may at any time, upon application made to him by or on behalf of the fugitive, and upon its being proved to his satisfaction that reason- able notice of the intention to make such application has been given to the Crown Solicitor, order the fugitive so committed to be discharged out of custody, unless sufficient cause is shown to him why such discharge ought not to be ordered: Provided that in every case where such fugitive has appealed to the Supreme Court or has applied for a writ of Habeas Corpus the said period of one month shall be computed from the date of the decision of the Supreme Court upon such proceeding, and in every case within Section 11 the said period shall be computed from the date of the expiration of the fugitive's sentence or of his acquittal or of the abandonment of the charge as therein mentioned.

XIV. The Governor in Council may, from time to time, by Order to be published in the Gazette, declare that any crime or offence specified in such Order, and not included in the First Schedule hereto, shall form part thereof, and from and after the date of the publication of such Order, the several crimes and offences specified therein shall come within the operation of this Ordinance as if the same had been originally included in the said Schedule.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 2ND APRIL, 1881.

THE SUPREME COURT, HONGKONG, 31st March, 1881.

SIR,-I have the honour to send to you a Return of cases heard in the Privy Council on appeal from Judgments by this Court, from October, 1866, when I first sat as Chief Justice, to this day, as prepared by Mr. SANGSTER, the Acting Registrar.

2. There have been twenty-five cases in which the unsuccessful litigants have entered into Bonds to appeal, but ten cases only have been brought to the test of an appeal.

3. Of the ten cases, seven were from Judgments for which I am responsible, and of these it would prima facie appear that two only have been affirmed and five reversed.

•

4. But cases Nos. 1 and 3, ROGERS v. COMPTOIR D'ESCOMPTE, usually known as the "Min" case, were Judgments of mine arising out of one case. The reversal by the Privy Council of my decision in No. 1 (as reported in L. R. 2 P. C. 394) was dissented from in LEASK v. SCOTT, reported in L. R. 2 Q. B. D. 373, when that reversal by the Privy Council was fully discussed and held not to be law. All the Judges, Lord COLERIDGE and Lords Justices BRAMWELL and BRETT, differed from that reversal and held to the same effect as I had held. The sums involved amounted to hundreds of thousands of Dollars.

5. Assuming, therefore, that the Judgment by me in case No. 1 is to be taken as having been affirmed according to LEASK v. SCOTT, L. R. 2 Q. B. 373, then case No. 3 could not have arisen, and there would have been six instead of seven appeals in cases for which I am responsible, and three of them must be taken as affirmed and three only be taken as reversed out of the very large number of important cases which have been decided by me as Judge during a period exceeding fourteen years.

6. With reference to No. 9, LEMBKE v. ORIENTAL BANK CORPORATION, which was a Judgment of the Full Court, it is due to Mr. Justice SNOWDEN to say that the opinion he gave was upheld by the Privy Council. It was my decision which was reversed.

7. I desire to place this short account of the result of appeals from my Judgments on record, because very erroneous statements have been repeatedly made in print on the subject.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient Servant,

JOHN SMALE,

Chief Justice.

The Honourable F. STEWART, LL. D.,

Acting Colonial Secretary.

[No. 71.]

FREDERICK STEWART,

Acting Colonial Secretary.

SHIPPING.

2. The total tonnage entered in this Department for the year under review, amounts to 4,185,845 tons, being an increase of 63,177 tons over the tonnage entered in 1879.

3. In my last annual statement reporting on the year 1879, I had to call attention to a falling off in the trade as compared with 1878, but that year was the most prosperous of any that the Colony has experienced. The trade is again now nearly what it was in 1877, and there seems good reason for the increase steadily continuing.

4. It is advisable to separate the trade in foreign bottoms from that in native junks.

5. The former shews an increase of 64,942 tons on 1879, the total for 1880 being 2,535,587 tons as against 2,470,645 tons in the previous year. Of the tonnage entered in 1880, the following is the percentage due to each nationality of vessels arriving in this Colony: American, 4.97; British, 74.08 Chinese (foreign bottom), 4.98; Dutch, 0.53; French, 6.52; German, 5.79; Japanese, 1.03; Siamese, 0.59; Spanish, 0.75; others in small proportions, 0.76.

6. The trade in vessels propelled by steam amounts to 2,316,121 tons as against 2,204,901 tons in 1879, or an increase of 111,220 tons, the percentage for each nation of the steam tonnage arrived during the

year being as follows: American, 2.31; British, 78.67; Chinese, 5.43; Dutch, 0.53; French, 6.62; German, 3.91; Japanese, 1.11; Spanish, 0.80; Danish, Austrian, Belgian, Norwegian and Rus- sian, 0.62.

7. As regards the countries having tradal communication with this Colony, the trade inwards and outwards with the coast of China and Formosa naturally absorbs the greatest proportion, as ships constantly arrive with goods from various parts of the world for ports in China, and ships as fre- quently arrive from China and its neighbourhood with cargo for countries other than Chinese.

8. Of the whole tonnage arrived from various countries, the following is the proportion due to each: Australia, 2.06 per cent; China and Formosa, 56.34 per cent; Cochin-China, 3.71 per cent; Continent of Europe, 3.82 per cent; Great Britain, 8.38 per cent; India and Singapore, 4.88 per cent; Japan, 5.04 per cent; Macao, 7.19 per cent; Philippine Islands, 1.62 per cent; ports in Hainan and Gulf of Tonquin, 2.35 per cent; Siam, 2.09 per cent; United States of America, 2.22 per cent; the remainder in too small proportions for calculation.

234

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 9TH APRIL, 1881.

་

9. There is an increase of tonnage in 1880 on 1879 of 126,879 tons from coast of China and Formosa, of 17,881 tons from the continent of Europe, of 47,586 tons from Great Britain, 19,175 tons from Japan, and of 25,484 tons from the Island of Hainan and the Gulf of Tonquin. There is a decrease of 40,486 tons from Cochin-China, of 7,527 tons from the Philippine Islands, and of 15,425 tons from Siam.

10. Two steam lines in addition to those already frequenting the Colony, made their first appear- ance in these waters in 1880,-the Austro-Hungarian Lloyd's Steam Navigation Company, and the Nederlandsche-Indische Stoomvart Maatschappy. The former is a monthly line, the steamers of The latter is at present a three- which leave Trieste via Bombay, calling at intermediate ports. monthly line running between the Island of Java and Amoy, calling at intermediate ports, having connecting lines with Europe and the Australian Colonies,

JUNK TRADE.

With the coast of China, 11. This trade with Macao shews an increase on 1879 of 10,368 tons. there is a decrease of 12,133 tons, the result principally of the increase of trade with that country in foreign bottoms.

12. The local trade--that between the several villages of the Island and with the city of Victoria -shews a decrease of 26,849 tons, the licensed steam-launches causing the falling off of this portion of the junk trade.

EMIGRATION.

13. There is an increase on 1879 of 16,796 Chinese leaving this year for various parts of the world. Of this increase, 47.2 per cent more have gone to the Straits Settlements than left for that Colony in 1879.

14. Of the 50,325 persons leaving, the following percentage will shew the countries to which they have proceeded: Australian Colonies, 9.67; Bangkok, 12.53; Manila, 0.43; Portland, Oregon, 2.03; San Francisco, 12.39; Straits Settlements, 61.89; Vancouver's Island, 0.86. Port Darwin con- tinues to draw a good number of emigrants.

15. On the 18th August, 1880, Manila-so far as steam-ships are concerned-was withdrawn from the provisions of the Chinese Passengers' Act, 1855, the voyage, with the fast steamers of the present day, being now performed in considerably less than seven days.

16. The difference between the total numbers of Chinese passengers leaving and those returning, is inconsiderable, 686 more having returned than left.

17. 51,011 Chinese returned to their native country during the year. Of this number, the follow- ing is the percentage due to each country whence the Chinese have returned:-Bangkok, 6.27, Hono- lulu, 0.85, Manila, 6.41, Port Darwin, 1.35, Queensland, 1.61, other Australian Colonies, 2.05, Portland, Oregon, 1.01, San Francisco, 13.99, Straits Settlements, 66.46.

REGISTRY OF SHIPPING.

18. Seven vessels have been registered during the year, and six struck off, leaving fifty-eight vessels and 21,545,276 tons on the Ships' Registry of Hongkong.

MARINE MAGISTRATE'S COURT.

19. The Cases tried in this Court have been fewer than in any previous year, and those of but slight importance.

EXAMINATIONS FOR THE POSTS OF MASTERS, MATES AND ENGINEERS, UNDER SECTION XV.

OF ORDINANCE No. 8 of 1879.

20. There were 56 candidates for Masters and Mates, of whom 53 obtained Certificates.

21. There were 64 candidates for Engineers' Certificates; 62 obtained Certificates at once, one was re-examined after a period of one month, and one applied, but left the Colony before being examined.

22. The following remarks made on the 20th January last on the subject of Examination will find a fitting place in this report:-

Her Majesty's Orders in Council provide that Colonial Certificates of Competency (to be valid in the United Kingdom) shall be granted only to any person who for a period of three years immediately preceding his application for such Colonial Certificate, or for several periods amounting together to three years,

the earliest of which shall have commenced within five years prior to such application, has been domiciled in, or has served in a ship or ships registered in the Colony where the Certificate is to be issued.

Hongkong is exceptionally situated in this matter. There are but few ships registered here, and only Officers serving in those vessels could, under the terms of the existing Orders in Council, qualify for Certificates.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 9TH APRIL, 1881.

235

Under Ordinance No. 8 of 1879, no steam-ship, British or foreign, carrying more than twelve passengers can clear out or proceed to sea unless the Officers possess Certificates of Competency or Service. The consequence is, that a large number of Masters, Mates and Engineers have presented themselves before the local Examination Board. The great majority of these candidates could not have been examined had Hongkong come within the Orders in Council, as the candidates could not produce Certificates of three years' cumulative domicile or service. The consequence would have been that many ships could not have cleared with over twelve passengers from Hongkong for want of certi- ficated Officers.

With the exception of the domicile or service of three years, the qualification of service in Hong- kong is the same as in England. The Examination viva voce and by papers is taken from the Board of Trade instructions on the subject, and I have no hesitation in stating that candidates here go through as strict an examination as they do in any part of the world.

It seems, therefore, hard on Hongkong Certificate holders, that, although they have proved them- selves from a professional point of view equally competent as Masters, Mates and Engineers who pass in the United Kingdom, and in those Colonies to which the Orders in Council can apply, they should have to pay further fees and have to be re-examined before they can be put on the Register or articles of a ship at a home port.

The reasons which have led to the cumulative domicile or service rules are doubtless good ones, but I am unable to see why certified good service in any ship should not be equivalent to service in a Hong- kong registered vessel. What is required is competency for the post for which the candidate presents himself; and if a candidate has satisfied a competent Board of Examiners that he has the requisite experience and knowledge, it seems not unreasonable that it should be sufficient to render his Certificate valid anywhere.

MARINE COURTS, UNDER ORDINANCE No. 11 OF 1860 (NOW REPEALED AND RE-ENACTED IN ORDINANCE No. 8 OF 1879).

23. The following Courts have been held during the year :--

1. On the 6th February, 1880,-inquiry as to the loss of the British barque Hopewell, Official Number 60,883 of London, in a Typhoon near Cebu, Philippine Islands. The Master's (PHILIP C. LANGLOIS) Certificate of Competency was returned.

2. On the 2nd June, 1880,-inquiry as to the stranding of the British steam-ship Meath, Official Number 81,457 of Sunderland, on or near the East Lamock Island. The Master's (JOHN JOHNSON) Certificate of Competency was returned.

SEAMEN.

24. 6,392 seamen were shipped during the year, being 46 less than were shipped in 1879. 7,139 seamen were legally discharged, being 747 in excess of the number shipped. Of the latter excess, many have worked their passage without regularly shipping, others pay their own passage, and many were sent to England.

25. The Merchant Shipping Consolidation Ordinance No. 8 of 1879, became law on the 17th July last. This Ordinance is the consolidation of many Ordinances which had been passed since 1845, and the opportunity was taken in framing the new Ordinance to introduce measures for insuring the effi- ciency of British, Colonial and foreign steam-ships employed in the conveyance of passengers hence.

26. Ordinance No. 4 of 1855 was introduced to enable Chinese land owners in Hongkong to use the British Flag, and at the time the Ordinance was passed Chinese owned none but junks or lorchas. In course of time, Chinese became owners of steam vessels and obtained Colonial Registers. These vessels were old, indifferently officered, and generally badly found. Section V of Ordinance No. 8 of 1879 has now put this class of steamers on the same footing as other steamers.

27. The steam-launch Ordinance has, in my opinion, effected much good; the six-monthly surveys of them have doubtless prevented many accidents, which must have been attended with great loss of life.

28. Between the 17th July and the 31st December last, 63 vessels have been surveyed. Great difficulty has been experienced in procuring the regulation life buoys, and other small requirements. The instructions of the Board of Trade are followed as nearly as the circumstances of the Colony will admit, and by a strict adherence to the provisions of the Ordinance, such another accident as that of the unfortunate Yesso in November, 1877, cannot well be repeated..

I have the honour to be,

Your most obedient Servant,

These dangers (Egeria rocks), on one of which the British steam vessel Royalist is stated to have touched, are of a dark colour, and not easily seen, with depths of from 9 to 12 fathoms close around and between them.

The Southern danger is a pinnacle rock, with 4 feet over it at low water spring tides, lying with the following bearings and distance, viz.:-

Islet north-west of Mallawallé island Mallawallé island peak (562 feet)... South extreme of Mallawallé island.

These bearings place the rock in lat. 7° 3′ 35′′ N.,

.N. 55° E.

N. 81 E., distant 4,1th miles. .S. 70 E. long. 117° 13′ 0′′ E.

The northern rock is about 20 yards square with 3 feet over it at low water spring tides; it bears N. 40° E. from the southern danger, distant one cable.

The north extreme of Mallawallé island and the south end of the northern off-lying islet just touching, leads about one cable south-eastward of Egeria rocks-The islet north-westward of Little Molleangan seen between Molleangan island and Little Molleangan (but nearer Molleangan island), leads northward of Egeria rocks.

CHINA SEA.

APPROACH TO MIN RIVER.

Reported Position of Hebe Rock.

Information has been received in a Notice published by the British Registrar of Shipping at Shanghai, of the existence of a sunken rock recently found at the entrance of Min river, and which is assumed to be the doubtful Hebe rock or reef.

An unsuccessful search for this rock, extending over two days, made by the boats of H.M. Surveying vessel Nassau in 1878, led, with subsequent information based on statements of the pilots for Min river, to its being removed from the charts. Mr. Randle, pilot of Foochow, who now reports the existence of the rock, describes it as being a pinnacle with 17 feet over it at low water spring tides, and gives the following approximate bearings, which were taken from a small boat near it, viz.:-

Changchi island summit Sharp shoulder.......................

N. by E. 3 E. W. by N. & N.

These bearings place the assumed Hebe rock, with Sea Dog islet bearing N.E. by E. distant 2 miles nearly, or about three-quarters of a mile W.S.W. from the position of it as originally reported.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.-No. 129.

The following Hydrographic Notices are published for general information.

By His Excellency's Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 9th April, 1881.

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. 39.)

EASTERN ARCHIPELAGO.

NOTICE NO. 19.

The following information relating to the Sulu or Mindoro sea has been received from Robert Loney, Esq., R.N., Lloyd's agent at Ilo Ilo, 1880.

[All Bearings are Magnetic. Variation 1o 5′ Easterly in 1880.]

SULU OR MINDORO SEA.1

ZEBÚ ISLAND-Argao point (on the east coast of Zebú island).-Anchorage may be found in from 4 to 7 fathoms, sand, sheltered from north and north-east winds under Argao point. Small vessels load here in both monsoons, choosing their anchorage north or south of the point as convenient. The church at Argao is a most conspicuous building.

Supplies may be obtained at Argao by applying to the local authorities.

SIBONGA, 8 miles northward of Argao, has fair anchorage from north and north-east winds, and may be known by a church in the course of erection, close to the present one, which is thatched with the Hipa palm (1880).

Directions.-Anchor midway between the Tribunal (Court house) and New Church in 4 fathoms, sand; northward of this position, the bottom becomes rocky, as also does the coast as far as Carcat bight.

be run may Carcat bight, situated four miles northward of Sibonga, affords anchorage, with a muddy bottom, and for as a last resource should a vessel be overtaken by a typhoon; a good look out must, however, be kept for shoals when approaching it, as there are no bushes or marks to guide the navigator, and no pilots. Once inside the bight, however, a vessel is said to be safe. The church at Carcat is conspicuously situated on a hill, and the town is densely populated.

SAN FERNANDO is a town situated some distance inland from the coast and about 6 miles northward of Carcat bight. In passing along this part of the coast of Zebú, it is advisable not to keep too near the land.

Tuiaan village, about three miles north-east of San Fernando, is small, has no church, and is difficult to distinguish from seaward.

When navigating in this vicinity, care should be exercised to avoid the rocks, situated off the coast of Zebú, abreast Tuiaan village.

NAGA is a large town with a handsome church situated about 11⁄2 miles north-east of Tuiaan. Steam vessels and coasting craft using the south entrance to, or from the port of Zebú, make Naga the point of entrance and departure.

Anchorage, but of small extent, may be obtained off Naga in from 4 to 7 fathoms, sand and mud, but care must be taken to avoid a small sunken rock having over it about 23 fathoms, with 9 fathoms within a boat's length.

TALISAY.—A town on the south-east coast of Zebú island, about 8 miles north-eastward of Tuiaan village, and 4 miles southward of San Nicolas church (of the town of Zebú) has rocks and shoals extending seaward from the coast off it, which, as a rule, are kept buoyed; these buoys, however, cannot always be depended upon.

Leading mark.-To clear the shoals off Talisay point, keep San Nicolas church open of Talisay point.

PORT ZEBU.2—There are three shoals in port Zebú not marked upon the Admiralty chart; failing information of the position of these shoals, the chart should be used with caution.

Pilotage in port Zebú is compulsory.

COMPESTELLA is a large and flourishing town on the east coast of the island of Zebú, situated between Dap Dap

Zebú. point and Liloan, to the northward of the northern entrance to port

DANAO is a large town situated about 5 miles northward of Compestella; the anchorage off it cannot be recommended. Carmen, about 4 miles to the north of Danao, is a town, situated on the south side of a bight which is reported to have good anchorage, the channel leading to which is marked by bushes. Two Spanish gunboats rode out the typhoon of 12th December, 1879, off Carmen.

BOGO (Bago).—A town of this name is situated inland and south of the head of a bay in the north-east part of Zebú island, about 47 miles northward of port Zebú. In this bay, the reefs are reported to show clearly, and to be marked by bushes.

Anchorage may be obtained in the bay just alluded to in bad weather, but it is recommended not to come into less than 4 fathoms, as the water shoals rapidly, and the bottom consists of sand and rock.

1 See Admiralty charts of St. Bernardino Strait, No. 2577, and Eastern part of Sulu or Mindoro Sea, No. 2578.

2 See plan of port Zebú upon Admiralty plans of ports in the Philippine islands, No. 2391.

है

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 9TH APRIL, 1881.

257

The Canal between Bogo and the west coast of Zebú island is said to be filling up, and has a depth of only 4 feet of water (1880).

MINDANAO ISLAND. Bilaa point.-From further local information received by Mr. Robert Loney, R.N., the shoal reported as not existing off Bilaa point,1 is now described as extending 14 miles from that point, and to be pass- able at high water for canoes. A pilot reported having anchored on the edge of the shoal in 27 fathoms rock.

BUTUAN RIVER.—An island having upon it trees about 40 feet high divides the mouth of the Butuan river into two channels. The navigable channel shifts according to the freshets, carrying from 2 to 2 fathoms at high water spring tides.

Tides.-Only one high water generally occurs during the 24 hours, and this by day or night according to the season. A pilot is necessary for entering the Butuan river, there being no marks to denote the channel.

Butuan is a town situated on the south bank of the Butuan river, about 18 miles' from its mouth. Mr. Loney remarks that he carried from 3 to 5 fathoms of water between the bar of the Butuan river and the town.

Supplies of cattle, pigs, poultry, paddy, and sago are obtainable.

Water. That of the river at Butuan is fresh, and used for drinking.

LEYTE ISLAND.-Near the south-west coast of Leyte island, off the village of Macalon, is a shoal, having over it from 2 to 5 fathoms; it is generally marked by bushes.

Typhoon anchorage.-Porto Bello, in the western part of Ocmoc bay, on the south-west side of Leyte island, is the only safe anchorage on the south coast of that island during the generality of typhoons.

Port Dupon.-The west coast of Leyte island, between point Calunangan and Palompon, is rocky and without anchorage except on the west side of port Dupon, where the best anchorage is under the village on the west side of the port; on the east side of port Dupon the bottom consists of coral, and anchorage is considered very unsafe.

Port Palompon.-The entrance to this port is marked by bushes erected near the village. Supplies of beef and vegetables may be obtained, also fresh water.

Tariff.-In the village of Palompon, as in other of the villages of the Philippine islands, a tariff of prices is hung up in the Casa Real for the guidance of strangers, who can claim to be supplied for ten days at the prices quoted.

The shoal in the channel between Calangaman and Capitancilio islands, was sounded upon in 12 feet by the Spanish steamer Ormoc; it being night at the time, no bearings were taken.

CUYOS ISLANDS.-Sunken rock.-Mr. Samuel Farrell, commanding the British barque Belted Will, reports the existence of a rock, having three feet of water over it, in lat. 11° 4′ N., long. 121° 0′ E.; from it, Paya island bore West, Agutay island N. 1 W., and north extreme of Cuyo island S.E. by S. & S.

NEGROS ISLAND.-Tomonton point.-A shoal having 12 feet of water over it off Tomonton point, upon which the Golden Spur, also commanded by Mr. Samuel Farrell, is reported to have struck, would appear to be probably identical with the two fathom bank shown upon Admiralty Chart, No. 2578, in lat. 10° 55′ N., long. 122° 55′ E.

MASBATE ISLAND.-Caduruan point reef extends three miles southward from Caduruan point.

A sunken rock having over it 18 feet of water is reported, with Tanguingui island bearing east, and Maripipi island peak just open south of Caduruan point.

Bennet bank off the west coast of Masbate island, is said to be growing up, being now about 10 feet above the sea at low water (1880).

SIARGAO ISLAND.-Dapa inlet, on the south side of Siargao island, is small and has intricate entrances; neither pilots nor supplies are obtainable, and Dapa inlet is only recommended as being fit for boat navigation.

The south-west coast of Siargao island, between Dapa inlet and Cacub, is a mass of rock, dry at low water. Tides.-In Surigao strait, the flood tide sets to the east, the ebb to the west.

HYDROGRAPHIC NOTICE. (No. 42.)

CHINA SEA DIRECTORY, VOL. IV.

NOTICE No. 10.

The following information relating to the west coast of Saghalin island, the coast of Russian Tartary, the strait of Tartary, and the Amur river, has been communicated by Mr. G. C. Anderson, commanding the S.S. Appin, 1880.

All Bearings are Magnetic. Variation. Kazakavitch island 6° Westerly. West Coast Saghalin island and Amur river 4° 30′ Westerly in 1880. SAGHALIN ISLAND-WEST COAST.1

CAPE HOIDJI, when viewed from the southward, appears as a perpendicular headland, gradually rising inland to a mountain summit, the opposite slope of which is also gradual. Near the cape a fine waterfall tumbles into the sea.

1

The Coast from cape Hoidji takes a gentle curve to the eastward, and is fronted by high cliffs of a reddish colour, with outcrops of coal, showing here and there, and is broken by numerous gullies, each having a stream of water.

1 See Admiralty charts of North-west Pacific Ocean, No. 2,459, and The Kuril islands from Nipon to Kamchatka, No. 2,405; also China Sea Directory, Vol. IV., 1873, and Hydrographic Notice, No. 9 of 1880.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 9TH APRIL, 1881.

CAPE ATEGÉ.-Bearing S. by E. from cape Ategé is a remarkable sharp peak. Between cape Ategé and Kozakevitch bay to the southward, the coast has a more gradual slope from the beach to the high range of hills behind, and is well wooded.

CAPE OROGI appears to rise to a height of about 200 feet above the sea, and is backed by a fine grassy slope; is an abutment of the two hundred foot terrace (raised beach), clearly traceable along the west coast of Saghalin island.

RUSSIAN TARTARY.

it

KAZAKAVITCH ISLAND.-1Nor-saha point on the south east side of Kazakavitch island (western part of Peter the Great bay) has a reef extending from it for about 11⁄2 cables in a south east direction.

Huluai bay, situated westward of Nor-saha point, becomes foul towards its head, where numerous rocks upon which seals could be seen were noticed from the S.S. Appin in August, 1880.

Verkhovski islands.-The south eastern of the Verkhovski islands is marked by a pole with a cage on it. POVOROTNY POINT, the south east point of America bay, has a steep face, of gray rock, much cut up, and presenting a very rough appearance. Southward of Povorotny point, is a red cliff, showing horizontal strata, and some distance north east of the point, is a hill with a caplike summit, of red, horizontal, stratified rock, the cliffs between being dotted with sandy patches.

CAPE CREASY is the north east point of Siau-wu-hu bay, and has, at its northern head, two remarkable rocks, showing as a double pinnacle when viewed from the southward. A little to the north of cape Creasy is another pinnacle rock. A vessel must, however, be within two miles of the cape to clearly distinguish these pinnacle rocks.

CAPE DISAPPOINTMENT.-The land immediately behind cape Disappointment when bearing about N.N.E., shows in three peaks, close together, of nearly uniform height,

LOW CAPE lies between two bluff, escarped, headlands, and has a clump of pine trees upon it. The beach here is sandy.

Land mark.-A little westward of Low cape is a hill about 1,800 feet in height, having a flat table top, forming a good land mark.

STRAIT of TARTARY.-AMUR RIVER.

Strait of Tartary, Fox bank, situated about 20 miles northward of Castries bay, in the southern approach to the Amur river, has an iron can buoy, coloured red and black off its south end. There was no buoy marking the northern end of Fox bank in 1880.

Clearing mark.—If bound from the southward for the Amur river, cape Catherine and cape Nevelskoi kept in line on about a N.Ñ.E. bearing until cape Glasenap is passed, leads clear of the Fox bank.

Two fathom patch; that situated about three miles N.N.E. of cape Nevelskoi, is marked at its south end by a cask buoy, coloured red, and on the north end by a pole with a broom on it.

Directions.-Bound to the Amur river from the southward through the strait of Tartary, after passing eastward of Fox bank, steer to the eastward of the Two fathom patch, situated about three miles N.N.E. of cape Nevelskoi. After passing which, follow the direct line between cape Nevelskoi and cape Muravief with Nevelskoi astern and Muraviet ahead until abreast of Popof island (which appears to be situated further to the westward than the position assigned to it upon the chart). When Popof island bears west, steer for cape Pogobi of Saghalin island, which has upon it a conspicuous white house, and south eastward of it a sandy landslip, at the north-west end of which is a triangular mark on a pole painted white. Should the mirage prevent this triangular white mark being seen, as is sometimes the case, a remarkable nipple on the ridge westward of cape Nevelskoi kept right astern on a S.W. bearing, keeps a vessel in deep water until Ogbi island opens clear of cape Lazaref; keep Ogbi island just touching cape Lazaref and steer for it, which will lead just clear of the flat which extends between capes Muravief and Lazaref. A stake with broom-head marks the position of the 12-feet patch, north-east of Ogbi island, and a white cask buoy with stake and broom-head marks the edge of the southern

bank.

3

From the white cask buoy just mentioned (on the north side of which the channel lies), steer N.N.W. for the north point of Chomé island1 with cape Lazaref astern, which will lead up to the red and white iron can buoy situated north east of Chakmut island, from which buoy, two triangular beacons on the mainland to the southward, kept in line astern on a S. by W. W. bearing, will guide a vessel to the Hagemir island south buoy, which is an iron can buoy coloured in red and white bands; from thence, a N. W. course should be steered for the Hagemir island north buoy, which is an iron buoy coloured black with a white stripe. From Hagemir island north buoy the triangular beacons on the south side of Korsakof point will be seen and should be kept in line, about N.W. by N.; the edge of the bank off Korsakof point is marked with stakes, after passing which, the marks on the north side of Korsakof point will be seen; these, kept in line astern (about South), direct up to Ussi cape buoy (cask coloured black and white).

Amur River.'-From cape Ussi buoy, Lallo beacons kept in line N.N.W. W. lead up to a broom stake in mid- channel; here increased care is necessary, this being the narrowest and shoalest part of the river, and steam vessels should proceed at slow speed. From the broom stake, course should be altered to the northward, bringing the two beacons on the mainland, situated midway between Lallo village and cape Ussi in line astern (S. by W. 1 W.) until Uezut island bears West, when the two white triangular beacons on the slope north west of Uezut island should be kept in line N.N.W. 4 W., and steered for, and will lead up to another broom stake in mid-channel; here two other white triangular beacons erected in a gap cut in the forest, upon a hill south west of Prongé point, will come in line ahead N. by E. E., and will lead up to the bend in the channel, when two white triangles, situated near Prongé village will be seen, and should be kept in line astern S.W. by W. W., until the red buoy off Prongé point is reached.

1 See Admiralty chart, No. 2,432, Tumen Ula to Strelok bay, including Peter the Great Bay.

2 See Admiralty charts Strait of Tartary, No. 2,650.

3 There are no buoys or marks off cape Muràvief, or on the flat between it and cape Lazaref, until close to the latter, where the edge of the flat is marked by a stake. The stakes north-east of cape Lazaref have brooms instead of flags; the buoys are cask buoys.

4 The island westward of Chome island mentioned in China Pilot, Vol. IV., p. 108, is of little use as a mark, being shut in by Chome island. The gap in the hills is not easily distinguished by a stranger.

• Useful in returning south from the Amur river, or should the beacons be obscured.

• The position of Hagemir island south buoy is permanently marked by two sets of triangular beacons on the Hagemir islands, indicating the cross bearings.

See Admiralty charts, Sheets 1 and 2, Amur river, Nos. 861, 862.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 9TH APRIL, 1881.

259

Pass on the western side of the red buoy off Prongé point, and steer close past Prongé point itself, leaving a stake and white cask buoy marking the edge of the bank on the port side, having passed which, get the Prongé point beacons in line astern on a SE. S. bearing, which will lead up to a red buoy in mid-channel, from which, Nalé point beacons and white cask buoy should be visible. From the red buoy, steer for the Nalé point beacons in line ahead on a W. by N. N. bearing, until the white cask buoy is reached; thence, two triangular beacons on the south west part of Prongé point peninsula kept in line astern on a S.E. S. bearing, will give the lead up to a broom stake in mid-channel, when the white triangular wooden beacons of Little Tchkil point will come in line, and being steered for (N. by W. northerly) will lead up to a white buoy. At this white buoy, the beacons on Tchnurrak point kept in line ahead N.W. N. will lead up to a red buoy, from which red buoy, the Meo point marks (on the south bank of the river) kept in line ahead N.W. by W. W. guide a vessel until the two beacons on Vassé point coming in line astern S.S.E. E. lead close past Tchnurrak point, upon which is a ruined battery.

After passing Tchnurrak point, two triangular beacons on the north bank of the river seen ahead, and in the same line as those seen astern on Vassé point, upon which the vessel has last been steering, lead on a N.N.W. W. course in the deepest water, until two other beacons situated nearer to Tehnurrak point and at the mouth of a small stream kept astern bearing E. S. give the line of direction to the anchorage off Nikolaevsk.

Anchorage.-A berth may be taken up in 7 fathoms, a convenient distance off the stake that marks Kuegda spit. This is the best position for discharging cargo, as the heavy barges, coming round the tail of Kuegda spit, have but a short distance to contend with the strong current running out of the river.

Water.-The Amur river water contains much lime, and has the effect of removing the paint from the bottoms of boats. In the early part of the season, when the ice breaks up, the river water is unfit for drinking, much decomposed vegetable matter being brought down at that period. To this, perhaps, may be attributed the fever experienced by the crew of the S. S. Appin, during the month of July, when at Nikolaevsk.

Tides of the Amur river, from Uezut island upwards, seem' greatly influenced by the wind, the greatest rise taking place with a northerly wind, which sensibly affects the strength of the current at Nikolaevsk during the hours of the flood tide.

Pilots' for the Amur river may be obtained at Castries bay; too great reliance should not, however, be placed upon their skill.

Hydrographic Office, Admiralty, London, 24th December, 1880.

1 Mr. Anderson recommends commanders of steam vessels under 13 feet draught to dispense with the services of the pilots for the Amur river engaged at Castries bay, unless able to communicate with them in the Russian language. Having navigated his vessel up and down to Nikolaevsk, on three occasions, without a pilot, Mr. Anderson states that he found the channels well marked, and buoyed, and the charts correct; instances have been known of a vessel taking the ground, from the master and the Russian pilot not understanding each other.

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.

QUELPART ISLAND.-Naboska rock, on which the Russian ship Naboska was wrecked in April, 1870, was said to lie in lat. 32° 59′ N., long. 126° 13′ E., or about 13 miles from the south part of Quelpart island.1

In August, 1877, H.M. surveying vessel Sylvia obtained soundings on the reported position of the rock; and within a radius of about 2 miles from that position, 57 fathoms, mud, was the shoalest sounding obtained. The weather was clear, and there was a moderate swell, so that had there been any shoal water in that vicinity, it would doubtless have been seen. Mr. G. C. Anderson, master of the ship Conquest, has also repeatedly in 1875 passed within 2 miles of the supposed position of the rock, in calm and in stormy weather with a heavy sea running, but without seeing indications of shoal water.

It is probable, therefore, that Naboska rock does not exist in the position originally reported.

Korea strait.-Western channel.-The French vessel of war Atalante, proceeding through the western channel of Korea strait, passed about 8 miles to the south-east of two islets, not previously charted. These islets, now named Atalante islets, are situated in lat. 34° 41′ 45′′ N. and long. 128° 47′ E. approximate, or about 6 miles S.S.E. of Broughton head. They are also described as being about 3 cables apart, 160 ft. high, their shape round, colour red, and are in line when bearing N.E. and S.W. of each other.3

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 9TH APRIL, 1881.

RUSSIAN TARTARY.1

Posiette bay.-Yedo rock is situated in lat. 42° 34′ N., long. 130° 52′ 40′′ E. It is a triangular-shaped shoal with 10 feet least water. From the shoalest part Ostrano point (Malte Brun) bears West distant 34 miles. 2

Eastern Bosphorus.-Skrypleff island.-Two beacons, in the form of a cross painted white, are erected on the east side of Skrypleff island. These beacons in line bearing S.S.E. lead over the centre of the reef which extends in a north-west direction from Skrypleff island. Vessels, therefore, approaching from the northward should keep the beacons open of each other. The north point of the reef is marked by a buoy.3

JAPAN, NIPON, SOUTH COAST.

4

Suruga gulf.-Oleander rock, a rock on which the British barque Oleander, drawing 14 feet, struck in August, 1880, is said to lie 5 miles N.N.E. E. from Omai saki. A sounding of 9 fathoms was obtained immediately after the vessel

struck; the position of this danger is approximate."

5

Inaboye saki.-The Japanese steam vessel Meji Maru, in swinging to her anchor off Inaboye'saki, recently struck on a pinnacle rock and received considerable damage. The vessel, it is said, had frequently anchored on the same bearings, and the master is of opinion that the rock has been thrown up during a recent earthquake.

The Meji Maru on this occasion was anchored at 14 miles from the beach on the following bearings, namely:-Inaboye

* Saki lighthouse N.N.E. E.; west end of small island Ñ.W. by N.; east end of reef E. by N.; Black rocks N. ↓ E.

The depth of water at the anchorage was 63 fathoms; after swinging, 6 fathoms forward, 51 fathoms aft, and 15 feet on port side where the vessel struck; one cast only was obtained at the shoalest part, the lead sliding from that into deep

water."

TSUGAR STRAIT.

Siriya saki-Charybdis rock.-A sunken rock has been reported lying E. by N. distant about 2 miles from Siriya saki lighthouse, the north-east extremity of Nipon island.

This danger (Charybdis rock) was seen to break twice heavily by H.M.S. Charybdis, when passing Siriya saki, on 20th August, 1879, the sea at the time being smooth with moderate easterly swell. Position approximate as given, lat. 41° 26′ 45′′ N., long. 141° 31′ 50′′ E.9

9

KIUSIU ISLAND, WEST COAST.

Nagasaki harbour-Swinger rock. 10-A sunken rock has been reported as lying nearly midway between Takaboko (Papenberg island) and Ogami point, Nagasaki harbour. This rock (Swinger rock) is about 8 feet square, and the least water over it was 4 feet. From the rock, Signal head, the north-west point of Iwo-sima, is in line with Kabuto- saki fort. The centre of Nizumi-sima bears N.N.W. W.; centre of Takaboko (Papenberg island) W. by S. & S.; and Kosaki Temple, Ogami point, E. by N. ₫ N.

This rock may be dangerous for steam ships leaving the harbour when passing another vessel in its vicinity, or for sailing vessels working in; care must be taken therefore to keep Signal head well open of Kabuto-saki fort when near the locality.11

NIPON, WEST COAST.

Saba sima,-Rocks near. 12-Two sharp-pointed rocks have recently been found eastward of Saba sima; the larger of the two rocks bears from Saba sima E. by Ñ. about 2 miles distant.

4

13

Shiu-siu saki (Noto).—Hime-sima reef11 consists of five rocks, the south-western one, named Isonoshima, lying E. by N. nearly 5 cables from Aisaki point. From Isonoshima, the reef extends in a N.E. direction 3 cables, and is about a cable in width at its broadest part. A part of the reef is awash, the remainder is above water.

There are depths of 44 to 5 fathoms between Isonoshima and Aisaki point, but vessels are cautioned against using this passage, 15

YEZO.

La Perouse strait-Refunsiri island. 16-From the north-west point of Bomasiri island (situated near the north-west extreme of Refunsiri) a reef extends to the northward fully 4 miles. This danger was passed by H.M.S. Iron Duke at night; the west extreme of Bomasiri being at the time in line with the west extreme of Refunsiri. As the extrem- ity of the reef now reported is only 3 miles southward of the shoal marked P.D. on the chart, it is considered that they may possibly be one and the same. Caution is requisite when approaching the island.

17

Cape Soya.-A reef awash is reported to be situated about 7 or 8 miles E.S.E. of cape Soya.

ADDRESS TO HIS EXCELLENCY

THE GOVERNOR.

On Friday, the 22nd instant, a deputation of

the Chinese inhabitants of Hongkong called at Government House, and presented a congratu-

latory address to His Excellency Sir JOHN POPE

HENNESSY. The deputation was introduced by Mr. FUNG MING-SHAN, Chairman of the Society for the Protection of Women and Children, who stated that the Directors of the Tung-wá Hospital, the Committee of the Man-mò Temple and the Provisional Committee of the Society for the Pro-

tection of Women and Children, who formed this deputation, came on this day, the fourth anni- versary of His Excellency the Governor's arrival in this Colony, to congratulate him on behalf of the whole Chinese community on the marked success, visible in the increased prosperity of the Colony, which had attended his administration of the Government during the last four years.

Mr. FUNG MING-sHÁN then read, in Chinese, the subjoined address, which was forthwith translated into English by Dr. EITEL, who was present as Interpreter.

(Translation.)

CONGRATULATORY ADDRESS BY THE CHINESE

PEOPLE, GENTRY AND MERCHANTS

OF THE WHOLE COLONY.

From of old, the essential element of good gov-

ernment consists in securing the affections of the

people whilst maintaining dignity.

Since the arrival of our Governor, Sir JOHN

POPE HENNESSY, in this Colony, it is now, if we

reckon it up one by one, exactly four years on this day. Going back in thought over the past, we feel a strong desire to speak out and give vent to the feelings which all along inspired us with confidence and hope. Tracing back to its fountain-head the constituent principle of Sir JOHN POPE HENNESSY's government, we find strict justice and clear impartiality, felicitous benevo- lence and tenacious earnestness. Those influ- ences penetrated down to the humblest classes who settled here, whilst that humane kindness watched over all the people. His multifarious

labours in removing oppression and fostering loyalty, and all the other measures of his effective to count up. government, are too numerous There is none among us Chinese who does not reverently look up to him as one of the bright

spirits; there is none who does not love him as

one loves one's parents. The last four years

have passed as if they had been but a day.

Now venturing to advert briefly to a few of his measures, there is the grant of a public place for the interment of deserted human remains, and the donation he made, from his private purse, of over one thousand one hundred dollars, in per-

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 23RD APRIL, 1881.

manent commemoration whereof a tablet has

been placed by us in the mausoleum built by him. Thus goodness experienced by the living,

has extended its influence also to the bones of the

dead. All that live and breathe join in one

voice in expressing their obligations for this act.

The Tung-wá Hospital had an office for vac-

cination, but patients stricken with small-pox and

seeking to be cured had no secluded ward to be

received in; wherefore he expressly granted a

piece of ground for this special purpose, which

was an act of merciful consideration for infants

and highly meritorious protection of youthful lives.

His Excellency is designated by us as the merciful prince, and lauded by all far and near

as such.

The practice of kidnapping was extremely

extensive, and victims once fallen into the trap were engulfed in an ocean of misery. But our

Governor, prompted by sympathy and commis-

eration for those victims, established the So-

ciety for the Protection of Women and Children, to extend to them a saving hand, and thus his

kindness is exhibited to the destitute and forlorn

and his favour is shown to the women and children.

The tablet of His Excellency's fame is exhib- ited in the streets, and multitudes proclaim it with one voice.

The Chinese inhabitants of Hongkong who reside here, trusting to the protection of his government, number not far below two hundred thousand, and yet they have no meeting hall to promote the extension of their commerce, but His

Excellency expressly moved Her Majesty's Gov- ernment to give them a piece of ground and a

grant for the purpose of the proposed building, which act of protection and pacification is a matter of justice, prompted by a desire to tran- quillize the people, to include all in one view of humane kindness, and to allow no distinctions of race or nationality.

The foregoing statement, explicit as it is, falls yet short of recounting one thousandth part of His Excellency the Governor's deep humanity and powerful liberality. Moreover, in these four years, whatever there was of advantage was sure to be promoted by him to its minute detail.

Our Chinese people, who have been drinking- in his gentleness and feeding on his goodness, have silently experienced his educating influence beyond measure, and tranquilly enjoyed the shadow of his protection above all limit.

Having now, on this day, respectfully reached

the fourth anniversary of His Excellency the Governor's arrival in Hongkong, all the Chinese

inhabitants of the Colony, without_exception, rejoice and exult in demonstrative pleasure, all looking upon the fact of our having this worthy Governor for the pastor of our people as the great happiness of our nation.

All we hope for is that His Excellency will, for a long time, continue to govern our people,

Sir JOHN POPE HENNESSY thanked the depu- tation for their congratulations and good wishes, but as to the great prosperity of the Colony, he felt it was due far more to the merchants, bankers and shopkeepers he saw in the deputation, than to any labours of his own. No doubt, within

the last four years the value of property had

increased, the population had been augmented,

two thousand new houses had been built, and whilst the inhabitants of the City of Victoria

became more numerous, both by births and by immigration from the Kwang-tung province,

crime had diminished. But this was owing to

the industry of the people, to their loyal and orderly disposition, and perhaps to some extent

also to the practical advice he himself had received

from time to time from those competent to give it as to the best mode of governing a Chinese community.

Her Majesty's Government had recognized this

also in dealing with one of the subjects the depu-

tation had mentioned, that of kidnapping. Much had been done of late years to detect and punish

this crime; and in 1879, Chief Justice Sir JOHN

SMALE made a public utterance on the subject

which deservedly attracted great attention, His

Honour very frankly remarking that he was sorry

he had not noticed the matter before. But before the Chief Justice had noticed the evil in question,

the gentleman who had introduced the deputation,

and other gentlemen present had drawn the

attention of the Government to it.

His Excellency then read the following extract

from a despatch of the Earl of KIMBERLEY on the subject, dated Downing Street, 20th May, 1880:-- "With regard to kidnapping, the provisions of “the local law (Ordinance 4 of 1865 and 2 of “1875) ought to be sufficiently stringent, but "it appears that, the practice being on the “increase, certain Chinese gentlemen in Novem-

“ber 1878 asked permission to form themselves "into an Association for its prevention, and that a "Committee appointed by you to enquire into "the subject suggested that the petitioners should "form themselves into a Company for the purpose

“under the‘Companies Ordinance, 1865. Ire-

quest that you will at once thank these Chinese

gentlemen for their offers of assistance in re- “ pressing this form of crime, and that you will “allow. them to form themselves into an Asso- "ciation of whatever kind they desire. But in

"order to obtain official recognition, its rules and

"organization should be made known to and

approved by the Colonial Government. You

“ will, of course, give them such assistance as you 'may find practicable, and especially you will "instruct the Police to co-operate with them in "bringing to justice all offenders whom they may "succeed in tracing. If the Association as at "first organized should be found insufficient, it "will be time then to consider what other steps “should be taken.”

The wisdom of Lord KIMBERLEY's decision was to be seen in the fact that a considerable number of the kidnappers punished for the last twelve months had been detected and brought to justice by this Association of Chinese gentlemen. He might also remind them that in passing his Ordi-

nance No. 2 of 1875, Governor Sir ARTHUR

KENNEDY had mentioned that he had introduced it at the solicitation of the leading members of the Chinese community.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 23RD APRIL, 1881.

His Excellency said that they were equally deserving of the thanks of the Government in another matter to which their address referred,-

the establishment of a small-pox hospital.

It was true he had given them a little land, or, more properly speaking, he had given them per- mission to excavate from the side of the hill near the Tung-wá Hospital, and to build on the site so formed a small-pox hospital, but they had formed this site and were erecting the building by means of their own voluntary subscriptions. Furthermore, they maintained at their own cost a most efficient staff of native vaccinators, who travelled through the Island and along the adjoin- ing coast, and to whose incessant labours His Excellency attributed the remarkable freedom of this Colony from the ravages of small-pox, in spite of the fact that we were exposed every year to the visits of many vessels more or less infected. Such useful labours, as well as those to which the Earl of KIMBERLEY referred, were not the only administrative functions which Her Majes- ty's Chinese subjects had shown themselves ca- pable of discharging. In fact, in everything relating to the well-being of the Colony, he was glad, at all times, to receive their counsel and co-operation.

SIR,-Referring to our letter of the 1st instant, we beg to mention that, with respect to the double medical examination and detention of the men in a depôt, alluded to, we made the application more with the view of saving time than for any other reason.

The men we send to Australia are subjected by us to a very severe examination as regards their physique, and we employ Dr. ADAMS, the health officer and medical inspector of emigrants, for this purpose, who gives a certificate for them.

In the case of the 62 men per Gunga, we had to reject over 10 per cent of the applicants, and it takes time to get such a number of thoroughly healthy and sound men, whom alone we engage, together. We would point out that though the men sign an agreement, and therefore come under the category of Contract Labourers, still what they undertake to do is merely to serve in various capacities in the Company's steamers or Dock Yards, and that they are actually only bound by the agreements to sign Articles upon arrival in Sydney.

SIR,-Referring to our letter of the 1st instant, we beg to mention that, with respect to the double medical examination and detention of the men in a depôt, alluded to, we made the application more with the view of saving time than for any other reason.

The men we send to Australia are subjected by us to a very severe examination as regards their physique, and we employ Dr. ADAMS, the health officer and medical inspector of emigrants, for this purpose, who gives a certificate for them.

In the case of the 62 men per Gunga, we had to reject over 10 per cent of the applicants, and it takes time to get such a number of thoroughly healthy and sound men, whom alone we engage, together. We would point out that though the men sign an agreement, and therefore come under the category of Contract Labourers, still what they undertake to do is merely to serve in various capacities in the Company's steamers or Dock Yards, and that they are actually only bound by the agreements to sign Articles upon arrival in Sydney.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 30TH APRIL, 1881.

Should the men fail to carry out their part of the agreement, their securities would be liable for advances made by us here, for which the agreements are our only protection. You will observe at the Company binds itself to provide a passage back to this for the men after the expiry of the rm of service, and this places them in a much better position than if they merely shipped for a ¡oyage.

As it will require much more time to make all the necessary arrangements than can be done between this and the 8th instant, we have decided to postpone the departure of the Ocean steam-ship until the 11th instant, and we trust that His Excellency the Governor will grant us the required_ per- mission without delay, so as to enable us to set to work at once.

DEAR SIR, We purpose despatching the S. S. Mecca for Australia, about the 2nd of next month, with a full complement of passengers, say 363 or thereabouts. Of these, 300 will be Sailors, Firemen, Carpenters, Trimmers, Boatswains, &c., intended for service in the Company's steamers running out of Sydney, and under agreement to sign Articles upon arrival at Sydney, in the same manner as the 62 men per S. S. Gunga in May last, and 109 men per Ocean last month.

As soon as the present coal cargo of the Mecca is discharged, we will have her measured and apply in proper form for the necessary licence, but in the meantime we shall be much obliged by your letting us know if the same regulations with respect to detention in a depôt and double medical examination as were carried out in the case of the Ocean, will be all that is necessary, so as to enable us to set to work at once and engage the various crews.

COLONIAL SECRETARY'S OFFICE,

HONGKONG, 14th September, 1880. GENTLEMEN,-I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 11th instant, in which you say that early in July you applied for a licence to carry passengers by the steam-ship Meath, but that you are informed by the Harbour Master that it has not yet been granted. You ask me to inquire into the matter, as you expect the steamer in a day or two and wish to despatch her for Australia as soon as practicable.

2. In reply, I am directed to inform you that when your application (dated 5th July, 1880) for the Governor's licence to take six hundred Chinese to Australia was put before His Excellency, the following minute was made upon it by the Governor :-

66

"Before I sign the licence for steam-ship Meath, let me see the list of six hundred free Chinese passengers proposed to be taken to Australia."

""

No such list was, however, submitted to His Excellency; and it was ascertained that the steam- ship Meath left Hongkong for Australia on the 10th of July with only twenty Chinese passengers on board. As you are aware, the steamer could not have left, if she had more than twenty Chinese passengers on board, without the Governor's licence; and that licence could not have been obtained until the provisions of the Emigration laws had been complied with.

3. When you are in a position to comply with the lawful requirements of the Government, and when the Governor is satisfied with the accuracy of the statement of particulars seth forth in the appli- cation for his licence, the licence will then be signed.

HONGKONG, 11th October, 1880. GENTLEMEN,-I have the honour, by desire of His Excellency the Governor, to draw your attention to my letter No. 1175 of the 14th ultimo on the granting of an Emigration Licence to the steam-ship Meath, and to request an early acknowledgment.

Messrs. GEO. R. STEVENS & Co.

I have, &c., (Signed) FREDERICK STEWART,

MESSRS. GEO. R. STEVENS & Co. TO ACTING COLONIAL SECRETARY.

HONGKONG, 12th October, 1880.

SIR, We have received your letter No. 1331 of yesterday's date, in which you ask for a reply to your No. 1175 of the 14th ultimo.

As the latter was simply in answer to one of ours, we did not think it required a rejoinder, but we much regret if either His Excellency the Governor or your Department has suffered any incon- venience by our not having acknowledged it.

The circumstances of the case are these:--when we put the Meath on the berth for Australia early in July, we hoped to get a fair number of passengers for her; we therefore applied for a licence in the ordinary way, but as up to within a few days of the departure of the steamer, only nineteen Chinese had applied for tickets, we decided not to put her under the Emigration Ordinance that voyage; the licence was not then required, and we took no further steps in the matter until we were about to de- spatch the steamer again on a similar voyage, when we wrote our letter of the 11th September.

We are, &c.,

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 30TH APRIL, 1881.

GENERAL POST OFFICE, HONGKONG, April 12th, 1881.

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

2. The main feature of interest has been the steady extension of the Postal Union, until it may now be said that only two groups of countries of considerable importance are not included in it. These are the Australasian and South African Colonies. With regard to the former, a Postal con- ference was to assemble at Melbourne in November last to discuss the Union and other questions. It is much to be hoped the result may be the entrance of these important Colonies into the Postal systém which now embraces almost all the rest of the world.

1

3. In the case of the Australasian group, local circumstances have enabled the Government of this Colony to reduce our outward postage, by the principal route, to the Union tariff, thus effecting one more considerable step towards uniformity. It is curious to observe, however, that the more simplicity is attained, and the easier Postal arrangements become, by far more mistakes are made, not only by the public, but also by the Departmental Staff. When each country in Europe was treated on a special and different Postal tariff, some with a half ounce unit, some with a quarter ounce, people were forced to acquaint themselves with the various rates of Postage, and knew more about them than they do now. When newspaper postage from England was twopence by one mail and a penny by the other, newspapers were prepaid with fair correctness and regularity. Now that the postage is three- halfpence by either route, the very simplicity of the arrangement seems to carry it beyond the compre- hension of the average poster of newspapers, for the sacksful of short paid papers which arrive (and the new Tariff is now a year old) attest that it is as far from being generally understood as ever. Even when the three-halfpenny postage has been mastered, the senders appear to have no idea that three-halfpence will only pay for four ounces, but post papers weighing twelve and fourteen with apparently every confidence as to their free delivery.

4. These short paid papers have proved a serious impediment to the rapid sorting and delivery of mails. About this time last year the English public was just beginning to discover the French mail to be the cheaper opportunity of the two, and though this is no longer the case, the consequent augmentation of the mail will probably continue for years. The time required to sort the French mail, which had once been (under exceptionally favourable circumstances) as little as half an hour, crept up to an hour and a half. Then the short paid papers began to arrive, and the hour and a half threatened to become two hours. Even when the mail was sorted, its delivery was much retarded. Everybody had to pay two cents at least, and nobody had two cents ready. The difficulty has been met by leaving the short paid papers to stand over till there is time to deal with them, and if the consequent delay in their delivery induces more care in prepayment, the object of this Office will have been attained.

5. The sale of Post cards has exceeded all expectations. They were introduced because it was obligatory to issue them, but it was not expected that more than a few dozen would be sold. Some At least two-thirds of those purchased, difficulty was experienced in keeping pace with the demand. however, have gone to gratify the mania for Stamp-collecting, which seems to increase with the obstacles surrounding it. It is difficult to make votaries of the great science of Philately understand that Post Offices exist for any other purposes than to supply them with every conceivable variety and shade of Postage stamp. The object of a Postal Administration, on the other hand, naturally is to get rid of all odds and ends, temporary or obsolete issues, and such like, as quickly as possible.

2

6. After twenty years of existence as a Colonial Post Office, this Department has at last succeeded in eliminating pence from its dealings with the public. As late as last year the charges on all unpaid correspondence were made in pence, the accounts were kept in Sterling, and the Postage Stamps in use represented sixpences, shillings, &c. We have now got something like a decimal series, adapted to the Colonial currency. It may be possible to improve it as years go on.

7. The general Statistics taken in November 1879 may be said to have been fairly successful. There has not been one-tenth as much correspondence and misunderstanding arising from them as was the case with the Statistics of 1877. Those to be taken in May of the present year will, it is to be hoped, pass off with all the smoothness of routine.

8. The general principle of the Statistics is, to observe carefully during one calendar month the actual weights of correspondence forwarded, which are multiplied by 12 to give an approximate total for the year. This Colony was very unfortunate in the fact that during the Statistical month of November 1879 there were three departures of the French Contract packets (November 1, 15, and 29), so that Hongkong had to pay during 1879 and 1880 as if there were 36 French mails in each year, whereas there are only 26. The appropriate multiplier would have been 26, but though this Depart- ment received the sympathy and support of the London Post Office in its endeavours to establish that multiplier, the French Administration (supported, it must be admitted, by the letter of the documents Such a case indicates a defective authoritative in the matter) declined to accede to this reduction. principle, which would be remedied by extending the Statistics over 28 days only, and multiplying the results by 13. It is to be hoped this proposition will be brought forward at the next Postal Con- gress; it has already been suggested by this Office.

1 Since the above was written this conference has been postponed.

9. Local statistics, for the purpose of framing the tabular information required by the International Bureau, were taken during 28 days of last November. A table is appended comparing their results with those obtained in the same way in 1879. The statistician must indeed have the courage of his convictions who attempts to depend on figures obtained in this way. It is like estimating what a man will eat in a year from what he consumes at one chance meal. The result might do very well to print in a Blue Book, but nobody would use it as a basis on which to victual a ship. A glance at Table C appended to this Report, under the head of Books, &c., will shew that the increase in 1880 purports to be more than the whole number forwarded in 1879! Such a result is not in the least consonant with reality, the fact being that, as far as can be judged from ordinary observation, there has been very little increase, if any at all.

10. The Money Order system with some of the Australasian Colonies, commenced last year, has been availed of by Chinese resident in Queensland and New South Wales to an extent which was hardly expected at first. Indeed, as far as this Office is concerned, the system may almost be said to have been too successful, for it nearly monopolises the time of a clerk and a shroff, who have had to be detached from other duties. Chinese cannot be dealt with so quickly in Money Order matters as Europeans. An Englishman who has an Order to cash takes the money given to him and goes away. With a Chinese, the vexed question, What is a pound? assumes a knotty and complicated aspect. To his mind a sovereign represents the highest price he could get for it after a morning spent in haggling at the gold-shops. This Office has generally to offer him a few cents less. Even when the rate of exchange is settled, the difficulties are not ended. At 3/7d., for instance, a sovereign may be represented by either $5.49 or $5.48. To pay the former sum involves a trifling loss; to pay the latter secures a trifling profit. Nobody but a Chinese would go into the fractions of a cent, but the China- man not only does so, but even considers himself defrauded of them. It should be said, however, that the Chinese here are learning, as they learn everything, that the Post Office will not chaffer with them, and this does not appear to affect the popularity of the Money Order system.

11. The Money Order system of the London Post Office is naturally looked upon as a model for British Colonies. It is an excellent system, but somewhat complicated and elaborate; not more so, perhaps, than is necessary where the orders are numerous, and the amounts forwarded in either direction very far from being equal. It is certain, however, that a small Money Order system can be effectively carried on between two Colonies, and be a great convenience to either, without the lists, duplicate lists, percentage on commission, and other formalities required under the London rules. Such is the sim- plified system of this Office with Yokohama, with Shanghai, and with the Straits Settlements. An advice is forwarded for each order issued, and accounts are periodically compared, the balance due being forwarded to whichever office is entitled to it. Each office keeps the commission it collects, and all the forms used are simplified as far as possible. There would be but few obstacles to a general Inter-Colonial Money Order system on this easy plan, but if the London details be insisted on (and some Colonies insist on them) the amount of writing and of labour involved becomes prohibitive.

12. Communications were addressed to all the Australasian Colonies requesting their co-operation in the establishment of an Inter-colonial Parcel Post, such as is worked between this Colony and the Straits Settlements without any resultant inconvenience. They have all declined, and all, or nearly all, on the same ground-Customs difficulties. As the subject is still, however, to be discussed at the Australasian conference mentioned above, and has also been under consideration in Europe, it may, per- haps, be permissible to devote a few words to it. The subject of parcel post is interesting to most resi- dents in China, because there are so many little objects of Chinese or Japanese manufacture which such persons naturally wish to send to their friends elsewhere. A preliminary objection as to the supposed invasion of the carrying business of Steamer Companies may be first disposed of. If the public were to be allowed to send carpets, overcoats, &c., through the post (as was once the case when the sample post to England was somewhat abused), whether under the title of Parcels, or of Samples, the carrying companies might fairly object, as, in the instance in question, they did. But if the parcel post be strictly confined to small things (menus objets) as is proposed, then the parcels to be carried become precisely those of which Steamer Companies had rather be rid than otherwise.

13. To be at once effective, popular, and successful, a Parcel Post scheme requires three conditions:

(1.) Freedom from any further formalities as to declaration of contents than may be neces-

sary to prevent the transmission of liquids, explosives, &c.

(2.) One moderate prepayment to ensure free delivery at the door of the addressee.

(3.) Absolute freedom from Customs duties or interference.

14. In the case of the existing Indian Parcel Post, the sender has to fill up a declaration of con- tents, sometimes required in triplicate, sometimes also in French. He has to enclose his parcel in an outer cover to the nearest chief Post Office. If sending to the United Kingdom, he cannot prepay further than London, and it is matter of frequent remark that it costs more to get a parcel from London to the country than it has cost to get it from Calcutta to London. Moreover, the Addressee will have to pay the Customs duty, if any.

15. If the Postal Union system has proved anything, it has proved that to effect Postal Reforms on a large and liberal scale, Governments must be prepared to give up haggling about small sums,

306

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 30TH APRIL, 1881.

which often cost more to collect than they are worth. Such is precisely the case withe question of Parcels Post. A resident in China desires to send home a silver bracelet. He wishes his corre- spondent to receive it free, but he considers Letter rate of Postage too expensive. If there were a parcel post, even then the Custom House stands ready to demand six or seven shillings as duty. The bracelet, therefore, finally finds its way to England in the trunk or pocket of some passenger, who is either unaware that he is carrying a dutiable article or is indifferent to the fact. The sender and the receiver have been subjected to a good deal of delay and inconvenience, and the Government has received nothing. The small amounts of Customs duties wrung from the receivers of little parcels would probably be recouped many times over by Postage gladly paid on free articles. It is the duties on merchandise which swell national revenue, and all that is necessary to protect them is to make such regulations as shall prevent the forwarding of merchandise in marketable quantities, under whatever pretext, through the Post.

16. The Time Table under the new Mail Contract has not yet been so adjusted as to secure free- dom from Sunday work in Hongkong throughout the year. We have, it is true, got the Sunday free in summer, which is something, but on the other hand it is rendered a working day in winter. It takes two years at least to get a mail service to work smoothly and to the satisfaction of all concerned; perhaps, therefore, before another winter some further change may benefit Hongkong in this particular. Such a change is being asked for in India, and the London Post Office has therefore been reminded of the views of this Colony. On the other hand, the new Time Table is so arranged as materially to diminish the present heavy expense of marine sorting.

17. Considerable interest has been manifested at Foochow in the old question of a subsidised mail service between that Port and Hongkong. There is one argument in favour of the views of the Foochow community which appears to have been unnoticed hitherto,--that is, that Foochow is the only. considerable port in China not provided by its local trade with fairly regular steam communication with Hongkong or Shanghai. But though this consideration may possibly be valid as supporting a claim on the Imperial Government, it is difficult to say why any community in China should ask for a subsidy from Hongkong. A feeling seems to prevail at Foochow that Hongkong people do not care very much what becomes of mails for that settlement. Such is not the case in this Office. Accidents have happened, of course. To some extent accidents always will happen. But nothing that could be done has been knowingly left undone, and Messrs. DOUGLAS LAPRAIK & Co. have always been most ready to co-operate, often keeping their steamers waiting for hours to secure the mail. Whilst on this subject, opportunity may be taken to thank Messrs. ELLES & Co. of Amoy for their aid in similar and other matters at that port.

18. It became necessary to investigate a series of mail robberies at Canton. To save time in despatching mails to and from that Office, they are forwarded in locked boxes, a key being kept at either end. A Chinese servant of the Canton Office had provided himself with a false key, and he More adroit than most Post Office thieves, when he found nothing systematically plundered the mail. in the covers examined, he closed them again with exquisite neatness, and forwarded them by the next steamer. He was detected by means of decoy letters posted for the purpose, and was handed over to the Chinese authorities. Precautions have been taken which will probably render any repetition of his crime impossible, but it is painful to reflect that he might possibly have been doing his duty as an honest man at this moment but for the almost criminally reckless practice of posting letters containing money without the security of Registration, indulged in, it must be added with regret, by persons who ought to know better.

19. People seem to think that because Bills of Exchange and Money Orders can be sent home with fair safety in unregistered Letters, therefore local Bank Notes may be sent about the Town here or to Canton or Macao, without the slightest precaution. This Office has, it is true, been singularly free from cases of letter-stealing, because, as a general rule, the contents of the letters are not negotiable here, and therefore if precautions are used to prevent thefts of letters for the sake of the Stamps, the greater part of any temptation to dishonesty is removed. But, once let the habit of sending either notes or stamps in unregistered Letters become common, nothing could prevent the state of things described in the next paragraph, which has probably been induced at home by the great increase of the practice of sending Postage Stamps in Letters answering advertisements.

20. Bills of Exchange and Money Orders sent home in unregistered Letters are not, after all, so very safe as the senders prefer to think them. The following extracts are from the evidence of Mr. JEFFERY, Controller of the Circulation Department, General Post Office, London, before a Committee of the House of Commons:--

*

"Last year we had 65,000 applications for missing letters, and we know that the applications are few in * * We lost some Manchester bags estimated to contain "comparison with the number of letters lost. *

*

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 30TH APRIL, 1881.

21. Mr. JEFFERY also explained to the Committee that stolen letters in which nothing remunera- tive is found (handfuls of 20 or so being taken on speculation as stated above) are generally destroyed, and that, in 1876, 7,000 letters containing Money Orders were stolen. Although the thieves only realised 120 of these, and were traced and convicted in 40 cases, the payees of the remaining 6,880 Orders must have been subjected to an amount of inconvenience, delay, and correspondence, from which Registration would have effectively saved them. Had the 7,000 sums of money been in Stamps or Bank notes, every one would have been lost; in the forty cases which were detected the forged signature to the Order would probably form the sole clue.

22. Table 4 gives a return of the Revenue, &c. of this Department for the year. It had been hoped that the gross sum collected would still have been a little above $100,000, but such is not the case. It must be remembered that we have closed one of our main offices, that, namely, in Yokohama. The balance accruing to the Colony is, however, more than double what it was last year.

INSPECTORATE of Schools,

HONGKONG, 28th April, 1881.

SIR,-I have the honour to forward to you the Annual Report on Education and the Blue Book

returns for the year 1880.

2. The total number of Schools subject to supervision of the Government amounted to 63 in 1880, as compared with 50 in 1879, 47 in 1878, and 45 in 1877. The total number of scholars subject to supervision and annual ex- amination by the Government amounted to 3,886 in 1880, as compared with 3,460 in 1879, 3,152 in 1878, and 3,144 in 1877.

fore been a steady increase during the last four years in the general number of Schools and scholars subject to Government supervision.

3. Distinguishing, however, the Schools under Government management from the Schools under denominational managers, to whom the Govern-

ment gives Grants-in-aid on the basis of Govern- ment inspection and examination, we had in 1880 in the Government Schools 2,078 scholars,

as compared with 2,043 in 1879, 2,101 in 1878, and 2,148 in 1877, whilst we had in 1880 in the denominational Grant-in-aid Schools 1,808 schol- ars, as compared with 1,417 in 1879, 1,051' in 1878, and 996 in 1877. There has therefore been a steady increase during the last four years in the number of scholars attending denomina- tional Grant-in-aid Schools, subject to Govern- ment examination, and an almost continuous

decrease in the number of scholars attending Government Schools, although the number of Government Schools was gradually increased from 30 in 1877 and 1878 to 31 in 1879, and 36 in 1880.

4. But whilst there has been thus a continuous steady increase during the last four years in the total number of Schools and scholars subject to the supervision of the Government, the popula- tion of the Colony has also been increasing, and although the number of native Schools, unaided and uncontrolled by the Government, has also steadily increased, I do not think that we have reduced, to any appreciable extent, the number

of children in the Colony (from 6-15 years of age) for whom there are no Schools of any sort provided. I calculate the number of such un- educated children in the Colony, for whose edu- cation no provision is made, to amount still to about 14,000.

5. As regards the education of girls, which continues to be strangely neglected in Hongkong, the number of girls in Government Schools fell from 257 in 1877 to 235 in 1878, to 179 in 1879, and to 138 in 1880. The cause of this steady decrease in the number of girls attending Government Schools is the natural objection the Chinese have to men teaching in and superin- tending Girls'-schools, in consequence of which the Chinese much prefer to send their girls to the denominational Girls'-schools, which, though subject to Government supervision and examina- tion, are taught and managed by Ladies. In these Grant-in-aid Schools, the number of girls steadily advanced from 343 in 1878 to 431 in 1879, and 561 in 1880. But this number is still out of all proportion to the number of girls for whose education provision ought to be made.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 7TH MAY, 1881.

6. As regards the nature of the instruction

afforded in the Schools of the Colony, there has been a steady increase of late in the number of Schools that teach English. The number of scholars learning English in Government Schools advanced, accordingly, from 661 in 1877 to 683 in 1878, to 812 in 1879, and to 864 in 1880, English being now taught, not only in the Central School, but since 1878 and 1879 also in the follow- ing Government Schools: Sai-ying-p‘ún, Wán- tsai, Wong-nai-chung, Shau-ki-wán, Stanley and Yau-má-ti. In the Grant-in-aid Schools the number of scholars learning English advanced from 253 in 1877 to 280 in 1878, to 368 in 1879, and to 435 in 1880. There has therefore been a considerable and steady increase during the last four years in the number of scholars learning English, in both the Government Schools and the Grant-in-aid Schools, the natural result of the unwearied attention which Sir JoHN POPE

HENNESSY gave to the promotion of a knowledge and use of the English Language in this Colony.

7. The work done by the Government Central School in 1880 has been tested, for the first time since the establishment of the School (in 1862), by a Commission of independent Examiners, instead of by the Masters themselves. As Chair- man of this Commission, I may be permitted to state here briefly the result of the examination.

This examination was conducted on the principles of the Grant-in-aid Schedule, that is to say, every scholar was examined individually, both

orally and in writing, in every single subject

which had been taught during the year in his

class, and each scholar had a definite number of

marks allotted to him in each subject. Owing to the unpreparedness of the School for such a searching examination, a much broader margin of indulgence for mistakes was allowed to each boy than is customary at the Grant-in-aid School examinations. Nevertheless, the result of the examination, both in English and Chinese, showed the School to be in practical results below the average of similar Grant-in-aid Schools. I append the detailed report of the Commission, and confine myself to stating that this unfavourable result, puzzling as it appears in view of the fact that the teaching power and discipline of the School were as perfect in 1880 as ever before, can be traced, in my opinion, to the following circum-

stances.

As regards both English and Chinese teach- ing, the classes are too large, and there is a system of such rapid promotion from one class to another, that at the end of the year scarcely half the boys of any one class have had the same course of teaching during any term of the year, and scarcely any boy in the whole school is thoroughly grounded in the entire course of study through which he ought to have passed according to the school plan.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 7TH MAY, 1881.

As regards English teaching, the time occupied

by Chinese studies being about half of each day's work, and 8 hours' a day schooling,-far too much

for the energy of any boy, especially in a tropical

climate like this,-being required of each, there is too little time devoted to English studies, or too little energy left in the boys amid so multifarious

a number of diverse subjects as is here crowded into the short space of time allowed for English teaching each day. Geometry, Algebra, Che- mistry, Mathematical drawing and Mensuration are taught every week to two classes of boys, scarcely any of whom can put a single sentence

into grammatical, not to say idiomatic, English.

English speaking is still comparatively neglected in the School, in consequence of the variety of subjects engrossing the scanty time devoted to English studies.

As regards the Chinese teaching of the School, the results were extremely unsatisfactory, owing chiefly to the number of boys crowded into each class, and the semi-foreign method of teaching adopted in this department of the School.

Finally, I may repeat here the conviction I have often expressed, that as long as we have no Institution for the training of teachers in the Schools of this Colony we cannot expect satis- factory results in any of our Schools. This applies also to the Central School, as a knowledge of Chinese is indispensable in a Master who is to teach Chinese boys.

8. The Grant-in-aid Scheme has been further enlarged in 1880 by the addition of Building Grants. A copy of the revised Schedule, as approved by the Secretary of State under date of 17th April, 1880, published in the Government Gazette of 5th June, 1880, is appended to this Report.

9. I further append, as a matter of record, a

printed paper giving the details of certain Medical

and other Scholarships established by the munif-

icence of Mr. E. R. BELILIOS, together with the Rules and Regulations established by the Direct- ors of the Tung-wá Hospital regarding the study of Medicine. These papers were published in the Government Gazette of 26th June, 1880.

10. In August 1880, His Excellency the Govern- or appointed a Commission, which is still sitting, to inquire to what extent and at what cost and under, what circumstances certain new Govern-

ment Schools may be made to take the place of the Central School in giving an elementary education, and further at what cost and with what staff and organization the Central School may be raised into a Collegiate Institution giving a higher education in English and Science and drawing students from the new subsidiary schools and elsewhere.

I have the honour to be, Sir, your most obedient Servant,

E. J. EITEL, Inspector of Schools.

Sir Arthur Hobhouse.

Whereas by the Extradition Acts of 1870 and 1873, it was amongst other things enacted, that where an arrangement has been made with any foreign State with respect to the surrender to such State of any fugitive criminals, Her Majesty may, by Order in Council, direct that the said Acts shall apply in the case of such foreign State; and that Her Majesty may, by the same or any subsequent Order, limit the operation of the Order, and restrict the same to fugitive criminals who are in or suspected of being in the part of Her Majesty's dominions specified in the Order, and render the operation thereof subject to such conditions, exceptions, and qualifications as may be deemed expedient:

And whereas a Treaty was concluded on the twenty-fourth day of November, one thousand eight hundred and eighty, between Her Majesty and the King of the Netherlands, Grand Duke of Luxem- burg, for the Mutual Extradition of Fugitive Criminals, which Treaty is in the terms following:-

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 14TH MAY, 1881.

}

343

Her Majesty the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, and His Majesty the King of the Netherlands, Grand Duke of Luxemburg, having judged it expedient, with a view to the better administration of justice and to the prevention of crime within the territories of Her Britannic Majesty and the Grand Duchy of Luxemburg, that persons charged with or convicted of the crimes hereinafter enumerated, and being fugitives from justice, should, under certain circumstances, be reciprocally delivered up, their said Majesties have named as their Plenipotentiaries to conclude a Treaty for this purpose, that is to say:

A

344

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 14TH MAY, 1881.

ARTICLE III.

The extradition shall not take place if the person claimed on the part of the Government of the United Kingdom, or the person claimed on the part of the Government of the Grand Duchy of Luxemburg, has already been tried and discharged or punished, or is still under trial, in the Grand Duchy or in the United Kingdom, respectively, for the crime for which his extradition is demanded.

If the person claimed on the part of the Government of the United Kingdom, or if the person claimed on the part of the Government of the Grand Duchy of Luxemburg should be under exami- nation for any other crime in the Grand Duchy or in the United Kingdom, respectively, his extradition shall be deferred until the conclusion of the trial, and the full execution of any punishment awarded to him.

ARTICLE IV.

The extradition shall not take place if, subsequently to the commission of the crime, or the insti- tution of the penal prosecution, or the conviction thereon, exemption from prosecution or punishment has been acquired by lapse of time, according to the laws of the State applied to.

ARTICLE V.

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

ARTICLE VI.

A person surrendered can in no case be kept in prison, or be brought to trial in the State to which the surrender has been made, for any other crime or on account of any other matters than those for which the extradition shall have taken place, until he has been restored or has had the opportunity of returning to the country from whence he was surrendered.

The period of one month shall be considered as the limit of the period during which the prisoner may, with the view of securing the benefits of this Article, return to the country from whence he was surrendered.

This stipulation does not apply to crimes committed after the extradition.

ARTICLE VII.

The requisition for extradition must always be made by the way of diplomacy, and to wit, in the Grand Duchy of Luxemburg by the British Minister in Luxemburg, and in the United Kingdom to the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs by the Foreign Minister in Great Britain, who, for the purposes of this Treaty, is recognized by Her Majesty as a Diplomatic Representative of the Grand Duchy of Luxemburg.

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

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

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

ARTICLE VIII.

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

The prisoner is then to be brought before a competent Magistrate, who is to examine him and to conduct the preliminary investigation of the case, according to the laws of the country in which he is found.

ARTICLE IX.

The extradition shall not take place before the expiration of fifteen days from the date of the fugitive criminal's committal to prison to await his surrender, and then only if the evidence produced in due time be found sufficient according to the laws of the State applied to.

ARTICLE X.

A fugitive criminal may, however, be apprehended under a warrant issued by any Police Magistrate, Justice of the Peace or other competent authority in either country, on such information or complaint, and such evidence, or after such proceedings as would, in the opinion of the person issuing the warrant, justify the issue of a warrant, if the crime had been committed or the prisoners convicted, in that part of the dominions of the two Contracting Parties in which he exercises jurisdic- tion: Provided however that, in the United Kingdom, the accused shall, in such cases be sent as speedily as possible before a Police Magistrate in London. He shall be discharged, as well in the United Kingdom as in the Grand Duchy of Luxemburg, if, within fourteen days, a requisition shall not have been made for his surrender by the Diplomatic Agent of his country.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 14TH MAY, 1881.

ARTICLE XI.

I

345

If, in any criminal matter, pending in any Court or Tribunal of one of the two countries, it is thought desirable to take the evidence of any witness in the other, such evidence may be taken by the judicial authorities in accordance with the laws in force on this subject in the country where the witness may be.

ARTICLE XII.

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

ARTICLE XIII.

The High Contracting Parties renounce any claim for the reimbursement of the expenses incurred by them in the arrest and maintenance of the person to be surrendered, and his conveyance till placed on board ship, as well as for the reimbursement of the expenses incurred in taking the evidence of any witness in consequence of Article XI, and in giving up and returning seized articles. They recipro- cally agree to bear such expenses themselves.

ARTICLE XIV.

The stipulations of the present Treaty shall be applicable to the Colonies and foreign possessions of Her Britannic Majesty.

The requisition for the surrender of a fugitive criminal who has taken refuge in any of such Colonies or foreign possessions shall be made to the Governor or to the supreme authority of such Colony or possession through the Luxemburg Consul, or, in case there should be no Luxemburg Consul, through the Consular Agent of another State charged for the occasion with Luxemburg in- terests in the Colony or possession in question, and recognized by such Governor or supreme authority as such.

The Governor or supreme authority above-mentioned shall decide with regard to such requisitions as nearly as possible in accordance with the provisions of the present Treaty. He will, however, be at liberty either to consent to the extradition or report the case to his Government.

Her Britannic Majesty shall, however, be at liberty to make special arrangements in the British Colonies and foreign possessions for the surrender of such individuals as shall have committed in the Grand Duchy of Luxemburg any of the crimes hereinafore mentioned, who may take refuge within such Colonies and foreign possessions, on the basis, as nearly as may be, of the provisions of the present Treaty.

The requisition for the surrender of a fugitive criminal from any Colony or foreign possession of Her Britannic Majesty shall be governed by the rules laid down in the preceding Articles of the present Treaty.

ARTICLE XV.

The present Treaty shall come into force ten days after its publication in conformity with the forms prescribed by the laws of the High Contracting Parties. It may be terminated by either of the High Contracting Parties, but shall remain in force for six months after notice has been given for its

termination.

The Treaty shall be ratified, and the ratifications shall be exchanged at Brussels as soon as possible. In witness whereof the respective Plenipotentiaries have signed the same, and have affixed thereto the seal of their arms,

Done at Luxemburg, the twenty-fourth day of November, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and eighty.

(L.S.) (L.S.)

W. STUART,

F. DE BLOCHAUSEN.

And whereas the ratifications of the said Treaty were exchanged at Brussels on the fifth day of January, one thousand eight hundred and eighty-one:

Now, therefore, Her Majesty, by and with the advice of Her Privy Council, and in virtue of the authority committed to Her by the said recited Acts, doth order, and it is hereby ordered, that from and after the fifteenth day of March, one thousand eight hundred and eighty-one, the said Acts shall apply in the case of the said Treaty with the King of the Netherlands, Grand Duke of Luxemburg.

FINDING.

365

We find that the British Steam-ship Lorne, Official No. 62,297, Master, JOHN MCKECHNIE, number of certificate of competency 97,232, was stranded on the right bank of the River Han, near Peaked Rock, at the entrance to Swatow, on the morning of the 3rd instant. The vessel discharged and jetti- soned her cargo, and floated off with the tide on the morning of the 4th.

We are of opinion that the Master was not justified in continuing his course after passing Bill Island. The weather was foggy, and the Master's knowledge of the tides was imperfect.

The vessel was navigated with proper precaution as regards the speed of the engines and the use of the lead; and after the stranding every endeavour was made to get the ship afloat again.

The Court do not consider it necessary to deal with the Master's certificate in this case, but they recommend JOHN MCKECHNIE to be more cautious for the future.

The costs of the Court, amounting to twenty dollars, are to be paid by the Master. Dated at Hongkong, this 14th day of May, 1881.

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.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.—No. 196.

The following finding of a Marine Court appointed to enquire into the stranding of the British Steam- ship Hai-loong, having been confirmed by the Governor, is published for general information.

By His Excellency's Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 28th May, 1881.

FREDERICK STEWART,

Acting Colonial Secretary.

FINDING.

a.m. The We find that the British Steam-ship Hai-loong, Official No. 65,082, was stranded on the South point of the Island of Quemoy, near the port of Amoy, on the 2nd April last, at about 3.15 A.M. vessel was subsequently floated off and towed to Amoy.

We find that the Hai-loong was stranded through want of proper care and precaution on the part of the Master. The use of the lead was neglected, and the Master most improperly left the deck at 2.30 A.M., when it was clearly his duty to have remained there.

We therefore adjudge that the certificate of competency, No. 34,465, of WILLIAM Young Hunter be suspended for six months from this date.

We recommend that a First Mate's certificate of competency be issued to WILLIAM YOUNG HUNTER during the period of suspension.

Dated at Hongkong, this 23rd day of May, 1881.

FINDING.

a.m. The We find that the British Steam-ship Hai-loong, Official No. 65,082, was stranded on the South point of the Island of Quemoy, near the port of Amoy, on the 2nd April last, at about 3.15 A.M. vessel was subsequently floated off and towed to Amoy.

We find that the Hai-loong was stranded through want of proper care and precaution on the part of the Master. The use of the lead was neglected, and the Master most improperly left the deck at 2.30 A.M., when it was clearly his duty to have remained there.

We therefore adjudge that the certificate of competency, No. 34,465, of WILLIAM Young Hunter be suspended for six months from this date.

We recommend that a First Mate's certificate of competency be issued to WILLIAM YOUNG HUNTER during the period of suspension.

Dated at Hongkong, this 23rd day of May, 1881.

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

DOWNING STREET.

14th April, 1881.

SIR,-With reference to my Despatch marked "General" of the 25th of May, 1880, I have the honour to transmit to you, for the information of your Government, a copy of a letter from the General Post Office with reference to the amount remitted by the Colony of Hongkong for the year ended the 31st of March, 1879, on account of its share of the additional loss to the Imperial Exchequer through the reduction of postage on its correspondence with the United Kingdom and other Union Countries, and stating that it is proposed to adjust the total surplus in hand, amounting to One thou- sand.three hundred and seventy seven pounds (£1377), in the next year's account, which, for the reasons stated, will probably shew a larger contribution to be payable by the Colony under your Government.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient humble Servant,

Governor Sir J. POPE HENNESSY, K.C.M.G.,

&c.,

&c.,

解

&c.

KIMBERLEY.

THE POST OFFICE TO THE COLONIAL OFFICE.

GENERAL POST OFFICE, LONDON, 6th April, 1881.

SIR,-With reference to the letter of the 18th of May, 1880, from this Department, and previous correspondence, I am directed by the Postmaster General to state, for the information of the Earl of KIMBERLEY, that the amounts due for the year ended the 31st of March, 1879, from the undermen- tioned British Colonies belonging to the Postal Union, on account of the additional loss to the Imperial Exchequer through the reduction of Postage on their correspondence with the United Kingdom, and other Union Countries, have now been ascertained to be as follows:-

Eastern Colonies.

Ceylon, Hongkong,

•

Labuan,

Bermuda,...

£1,816 2,456

27

Western Colonies.

42

1,044

2,164.

1,017

British Guiana, Jamaica, Trinidad,

I am to request that you will be good enough to move Lord KIMBERLEY to call upon each of the Colonies concerned (except Hongkong) to pay the amount due from it as stated above.

The Colony of Hongkong has already remitted a sum of £3,150 on account of its share of the loss for the year 1878-79, so that, after defraying the amount ascertained to be due, there will still remain a sum of £694, which, added to the balance of £683, brought forward from the previous account, brings the surplus in hand for the two years to a total amount of £1,377. This sum it is proposed to adjust in the next year's account, which will probably show a larger contribution to be payable by Hongkong in consequence of the further reduction in the rates of Postage from the 1st of April, 1879, under the regulations of the Convention of Paris.

The returns relating to the Straits Settlements cannot be finally closed until after the receipt of the information referred to in my other letter of this day's date, with regard to the Philippine Islands correspondence posted at Singapore during the year 1876-77.

R. G. W. HERBERT, Esq.,

·

His EXCELLENCY-Gentlemen, you are aware that, under instructions from Her Majesty's Government, the census was taken in this Colony on the 3rd of April last, The former census was taken at the end of 1876. It was submitted to Sir ARTHUR KENNEDY a few days before he left the Colony for Queensland, and it became my duty to make a brief report upon it. It is unusual, almost unprecedented, for the same Governor to have to make reports upon two successive censuses.

A census is generally taken every ten years, but it happens that only four years and four months have elapsed since the last census in this Colony. But apart altogether from what may be unusual in official dure, I find, looking at the returns I am now about to put upon the table, that there is something unusual in the important facts they disclose. A comparison of the census of 1881 with the census of December. 1876, shows an amount of real progress and substantial prosperity in the short space of four years such, as I believe, can only be equalled in the Australian Colonies, and which is, perhaps, unprecedented in any of the Crown colonies (Hear, hear).

proce-

In putting these census returns before you, and in moving, as I shall do at the end of my state- ment, that they be printed, I desire to give every Member of the Council an opportunity of making any remarks he may think fit upon them. They will enable the Council to answer three questions. They will enable you to decide how far the Colony of Hongkong has really fulfilled the objects for which it was established; they will enable you also to determine whether it is true, what you have all heard said so often (out of Hongkong, or by unobservant residents in it), namely, that there are no trades and manufactures whatever in this colony; and these returns will also enable us to decide a question much discussed here now,-whether the recent transactions in land, the important sales and transfers of land, that have taken place of late, are speculative, or whether they are really bonâ fide the result of healthy commercial progress, and a matter of necessity.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 4тп JUNE, 1881.

With respect to the latter point, I am placing upon the table a return which has been prepared in the Survey Department in consequence of a minute of mine, in which I directed attention to the publication in the Daily Press of the 11th May, 1881, of a statement of transactions in landed proper- ty in Hongkong, and called upon the proper officers to have that return checked and verified. Accordingly, that return, which, no doubt, you have all seen, was transmitted to the Acting Surveyor- General. He has now furnished us with an authentic statement of the transactions, from the Land Office books, that have taken place in the transfer and sale of property from the first of January last year to the 11th of May this year. To be brief, I think, on the whole, he corroborates what appeared in the Daily Press; and the summary he gives at the end is to this effect:-Total value of properties bought by Chinese from foreigners, $1,710,036; total value of properties bought by Chinese from the Govern- ment, $17,705; total value of properties bought by foreigners from foreigners, $216,750; total value of properties bought by foreigners from the Government, $5,060; total value of properties bought by foreigners from Chinese, $16,450.

Now, this large item of $1,710,000 on the transfer of property, almost entirely for commercial purposes, to the Chinese community since January last year, is undoubtedly an event of great impor- tance. Is it speculative, or is it justified by the returns I am now laying on the table? In the first place, what do we learn from the census returns of the Registrar-General? We find that the population has risen from 139,144 in 1876 to 160,402 in 1881, showing, in four years and four months, an increase of 21,258, and of this increase the Chinese population account for 20,532. The Registrar-General adds, that the European and American community is larger by 273; that the increase is among the British, Portuguese, Germans and Italians, and is that of women and children; that the male adult population of Europeans and Americans has decreased. This fact is of interest, because, whilst, taking the male adult British subjects, there has been a very slight decrease from 342 to 336, there has been an increase in the number of women and of boys and girls. So, too, with the Portuguese; there is a falling off from 418 adult males in 1876 to 384 at present, but an increase in the women and children. So, too, with the Germans; there is a falling off in the adult German population, and in the American population, and in the French population, but in each case there is an increase in the number of women and children. This fact, I say, is of interest, because the tropical Colony where European children flourish cannot be very unhealthy. The vitality of a foreign child is a delicate test of climate, and I believe we can point to this particular item in the census returns as affording some indication that Hongkong is growing more healthy-(Hear, hear). And now, proceeding to the question of the 20,000 additional Chinese, we have to consider this:-Has the increase in the various mercantile occu- pations of the Chinese been such as to justify the remarkable transfer of landed property I have referred to? The census returns furnish us with an opportunity of testing how far in the harbour of Victoria itself the means we have of commercial movement-that is, the transference of goods from steamer to steamer, from steamer to shore, and vice versa-how far that has been facilitated since the year 176. From the returns, I find that that movement is conducted by steam launches, cargo boats, and sampans. The steam launches have increased from 8 in 1876 to 37 in 1881, the cargo boats from 494 to 656, and the sampans from 1,357 to 2,088. So far for the machinery that we have in our harbour for con- ducting the commercial movement of the Colony; it has substantially increased. The returns I am laying before you are identical in form with the returns prepared in the time of Sir ARTHUR KENNEDY, and probably his predecessors, and amongst these returns there is one which answers the question I have been asking, and that is a return of the occupations of the Chinese adult male inhabitants of the Colony. On analysing that return, I find that the following are the changes that have taken place since the last census with respect to Chinese merchants and other Chinese directly concerned in the trade and commerce of the Colony.

;

The Chinese Trading hongs,—that is, the Nam-pak hongs and other wealthy merchants who now send the manufactures of England into China,-have increased from 215 to 395. Chinese traders have increased from 287 to 2,377; Chinese brokers, from 142 to 455. Taking the Chinese engaged in dealing in money;-the Shroffs have increased from 40 to 208; the Teachers of shroffing have increased from 9 to 14; the Bullion dealers, who do not appear in any former census, are now returned at 34 the Money Changers, 111 in 1876, still remain at 111, but in 1876 there were no Chinese Bankers returned, and now we have in this census 55 Chinese Bankers. The piece-goods dealers have increased from 78 in 1876 to 109, and cotton and yarn dealers from 38 to 58. This is of interest, not merely to Manchester, Bradford or Leeds: these Chinese merchants of Hongkong are now facilitating an Indian trade with China, healthier, and with a safer future, than the trade in that drug which a few years ago was the only considerable commercial link between British India and China. Since 1877, the quantity of Bombay yarn received in Hongkong has steadily risen from 21,000 bales to 61,000. The increase. in the value of this trade from $1,706,913 in 1877 to $5,251,246 in 1880, has been coincident with an increase in our imports of raw cotton from Bengal and Rangoon from 33,000 bales in 1877 to 86,000 in 1880. Our opium trade shows no such tendency to increase. In 1880, we imported 87,747 chests, as against 88,428 in 1877. Mr. F. D. SASSOON tells me that the value of our total trade with India last year was $67,772,937, the value of the opium being $58,248,235. Though the trade in other goods than opium is but one-sixth of the total Indian trade, yet it is so rapidly developing, that I look forward with confidence to the time when it will outstrip, and, perhaps, enable the Indian Government to curtail, the trade in opium. Tea merchants have increased from 26 to 51, rice dealers from 95 to 128,

coal dealers from 16 to 20, firearms dealers from 15 to 20, timber dealers from 15 to 107, drapers from 101 to 156, and foreign goods dealers from 167 to 191. Compradores have increased from 77 to 95, ship compradores from 67 to 113, and ship charterers from 7 to 41. Looking to the increase I have pointed out in the ordinary machinery for commercial movement in the harbour, to this remarkable increase of the mercantile community, and to the well-known magnitude of the mercantile transactions of our Chinese merchants, it seems clear that this large expenditure, since January 1880, of $1,710,000 by Chinese for commercial property was a necessary expenditure.

There is another question that we may fairly ask. It has often been said, and there is hardly a directory or guide relating to Hongkong in which you do not see it recorded, that Hongkong has no local manufactures whatever. Is that true? Well, on turning to the census returns, I find many local Chinese manufactures in this Colony. Bamboo workers have increased from 93 in 1876 to 121 in 1881; Boat builders, from 48 to 110; Carvers, from 59 to 70; Cigar makers, from 21 to 31; Engi- neers from 10 to 121, and Gold beaters from 41 to 60. Glass manufacturers appear for the first time; there are now 16 in the Colony, and I believe at this moment the glass manufactory to the west of the town is capable of turning out such glass as some of the European storekeepers here are themselves prepared to sell; and when a service of glass may get injured, they can now send to our local glass manufactory and get tumblers to replace those broken in the set. I find image makers have increased from 10 to 15, lantern makers from 50 to 63, leather box makers from 39 to 53, lemonade and soda- water makers from 28 to 30. Watch manufacturers did not appear in the former census; they now number 13. Oar makers have increased from 30 to 43. Opium dealers have declined from 108 to 103, but that is not coincident with any decline in the revenue the Government of Hongkong derives from the monopoly of prepared opium, which was $132,000 in 1877, but was sold in 1879 for $205,000 a year. Paper box makers have declined from 21 to 10, and rattan workers from 596 to 448. Rice- pounders have increased from 954 to 1,083. Of rifle makers we have five in the Colony. Sail and rope makers have increased from 100 to 141, and sandal-wood dealers and workers, from 74 to 76. Workers in sapanwood have declined from 96 to 20, and though there is apparently a decline in the number of sauce manufacturers from 49 to 41, there has been an increase in the quantity of sauce manu- factured. I may mention, that a short time before the late Mr. KWOK ACHEONG died, I went with him and two or three other Chinese gentlemen interested in the factory at Yau-má-ti, to examine the factory, which was in a more or less rude state, the buildings not being then completed. I was glad to see what they were doing. In addition to making soy, they made ketchup for the European market, and they had also a manufactory for preserving fruits. Now, the ketchup is sent in hundreds of barrels every. year direct to a well-known house in London,-that well-known storeman whose good things most of us have, from time to time, enjoyed. He sends out thousands of little bottles of Hongkong ketchup to Chinese as well as to European storekeepers here, so that, in short, the ketchup we consume as English ketchup is manufactured by Chinese in Hongkong, sent to England, and this famous manufacturer and storekeeper in England returns it to us for retail. I am bound to add, that the latest advices are that the peculiar article which is produced by the Chinese manufacturer at Yau-má-ti was regarded at the recent sales in London as the best in the market, and our little local manufactory is very successful. I find immediately following this we come to the soap manufacturers; they do not appear in the last census, and they are now only 7 in number. There also appears, for the first time, one spectacle-maker. We have Chinese sugar refiners; they have declined from 25 to 15, and tanners from 7 to 1. Tobacco manufacturers have increased from 44 to 96. Tooth-powder makers appear also for the first time; they number 57. Umbrella-makers have increased from 97 to 169, vermilion manufacturers and dealers from 111 to 123, and Weavers, who appear for the first time in our census, number 6. therefore, clear that we have in this Colony numerous local manufactures which have every pro spect It is, of extending.

But apart from the question of such manufactures, there are in this Colony, as you all know, various industries employing Chinese artizans. Carpenters have increased from 2,510 to 2,923, blacksmiths from 690 to 708, pewter-smiths from 60 to 173, tinsmiths from 88 to 172, and braziers from 488 to 864. Masons show a falling off from 845 to 542. Rice-pounders have increased from 954 to 1,083, and in stone-cutters there is a large increase,-from 449 to 1,439. The number of tailors now in the Colony, who work with sewing machines mostly, amounts to 1,857. It is an interesting fact, that for these tailors drill is imported into the Colony from England; they make it up with their sewing machines, and the made clothes are then exported to New Zealand and Australia. In that cheap labour, even without leaving the atmosphere of China, is, to a certain extent, successfully way Chinese competing with Australian and English manufacturers of clothes.

There are certain special occupations of the Chinese which are worth noting, as they indicate the prosperity of the natives. We have the birds' nest sellers, who have increased from 12 to 35, the sharks' fins dealers, from 9 to 15, beancurd sellers, from 93 to 107, jadestone dealers, from 8 to 18; but cinnamon dealers have fallen from 8 to 7. Sessamum oil dealers appear for the first time, and number 5, and ginseng dealers also appear for the first time and are 4 in number. Joss-paper sellers have increased from 30 to 47, joss-house keepers, from 17 to 41, and chair coolies, from 859 to 980.

In addition to those who are concerned in our commerce and trades, there is a certain amount of professional life amongst the Chinese, as shown by the census returns. We had in 1876, 198 Chinese doctors; now we have 333. Well, the question has often been asked, whether Chinese doctors

388

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 4TH JUNE, 1881.

do much good, but I think we may, perhaps, rely upon the good sense of those who employ them and have confidence in their empirical knowledge and skill. But even the European community and the Government of the Colony owe a debt of gratitude to some of those Chinese doctors. Hongkong is peculiarly situated with respect to the possibility of an influx of small-pox. Perhaps no other port in the world is more liable to a visitation from that disease, and yet, though occasionally I get a report from the Harbour Master of a case or two that may be brought here, it does not spread in the Colony. How does that come to pass? I was talking not long since to the Health Officer, Dr. ADAMS, and he tells me he has to examine the Chinese who emigrate, and he finds nearly all the young Chinese have three or four vaccination marks, or inoculation marks, upon the arms. He says he was often puzzled to know how this vaccination came to be apparently so perfect among the Chinese. Well, the fact is, that for some years past the doctors of the Tung-wá Hospital have vaccinated extensively, and some of them have been employed as travelling vaccinators, who go about this Colony, and who, since 1878, visit the mainland and vaccinate all through the neighbouring province of China. Thousands upon thousands have been vaccinated by them. The returns are printed in our annual Blue Books. Thousands upon thousands have been vaccinated during the last four years. But when I saw the annual returns sent in by the Colonial Surgeon not many weeks ago, I appended the following minute to that document:-"I cannot find any return showing the number of vaccinations by the Medical "Officers of the Colony. Ascertain how many persons have been vaccinated every year for the last "four years by the Colonial Surgeon, the Health Officer, the Superintendent of the Civil Hospital, and "the Deputy Superintendent." This appears to have been sent to the Colonial Surgeon for a report. The report of the Colonial Surgeon was very brief:-"No return has ever been kept." Whereupon, my honourable friend on my left (the Acting Colonial Secretary) writes to the Colonial Surgeon asking him if he could from his memory, and approximately, furnish the number he has himself vaccinated, and get the same information from the other Medical Officers of the Government. The reply of the Colonial Surgeon is "I have the honour to inform you that ten persons were vaccinated in the Hospital by "the Superintendent. I have not been able to obtain any more information from the Superintendent. I have performed 32 "The Acting Health Officer vaccinated his own child twice without success.

vaccinations on children, fifteen unsuccessfully, and about as many more on adults." "And then he proceeds to state that he distributed lymph, which I send to him (it comes to me every mail in my despatch bag from Downing Street), amongst his professional brethern in the Colony and at Canton. He adds, that in future he will take care that a record of the vaccinations by the Government Officers is kept. It may, of course, be said that the Colonial Surgeon and the other Officers of the Government were aware of the fact that this semi-Administrative duty, in fact, a duty of no slight importance to the Government and the Colony,-was actually being performed for them by the directors of the Tung- wá Hospital, and, therefore, they did not think it necessary to interfere with the Chinese doctors, who were vaccinating thousands of people and doing it so well, and who have protected the Colony so thoroughly. Passing from the doctors, we come to the druggists, who have also increased from 164 to 243. I find, for the first time in the professional life of the Chinese in this Colony, that we have three dentists. About eighteen months ago I visited one, not professionally, but for the purpose of seeing the instruments he used, and I then found he had the same apparatus we find in all dentists' establishments. In fact, he did work for the first-rate American dentists we have here, being fully capable of making or repairing sets of teeth. He was a gentleman of intelligence, and impressed me, I must say, as favourably as a dentist could. I also find Chinese architects for the first time, five in number. For the first time, we also have in the list one geomancer. I have not seen that gentleman, but I find in the list perhaps an antidote to the geomancer; for the first time we see in this list a Chinese barrister-at-law. I think we may all congratulate ourselves on his appearing not only in the census returns as a barrister, but as being also a member, by the Queen's favour, of the Legisla- ture of the Colony. I find also on this list three newspaper editors, but there were three in 1876. They are not exactly the same three, because one, a gentleman who was enumerated in 1876, was a friend of mine, the editor of the Chinese Mail, Mr. CHUN AYIN, and I believe that newspaper editor is now receiving a salary of twelve hundred pounds per annum as an officer of the Chinese Government in Cuba, where, I understand, he is the Consul-General. I don't know whether I am right in classing them amongst the professional portion of the Chinese community, but I find we have 84 fortune-tellers in the Colony, instead of 46 in 1876. The schoolmasters have increased from 114 to 171, and students from 341 to 2,562. These students are not to be confounded with school-boys, who are dealt with in another part of the census. Most of these gentlemen who return themselves as students are, no doubt, young men, but some of them possibly are old men, who devote themselves to literary pursuits. Por- trait painters have increased from 170 to 200, and photographers from 30 to 45. Story-tellers have decreased from 5 to 1. Musicians, also, I am sorry to see, have fallen from 70 to 30. If it were not one of those statistical fallacies that sometimes occur, even in the best regulated Registrar General's the Office, it would be a melancholy fact, that when our Chinese bankers and bullion dealers come upon scene, the story-tellers and musicians seem to disappear. Perhaps great material prosperity is not without some drawbacks.

•

On the whole, it is manifest we have in this Calony an increased Chinese community of great importance to the commercial interests of England, and, therefore, we may at once answer the question as to this large dealing in land, and may admit it was a just and natural process, and that this transfer of property from Europeans to Chinese was not of a merely speculative kind.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 4TH JUNE, 1881.

Now, does Hongkong fulfil the object for which it was established? That I need hardly ask you, gentlemen, after the brief resumé I have given you of our census returns. But it has sometimes been discussed what the object of this Colony is, and in my time I have heard it said that it is a military object, or a naval object-I have generally been of opinion myself it was commercial-but I find on referring to a despatch of the Secretary of State to Sir JOHN DAVIS, where this question was raised, that there it is briefly and clearly laid down for what object this Colony was really established, Sir JOHN DAVIS had to forward to Her Majesty's Government a memorial from the foreign merchants complaining of the taxation of Hongkong. They represented that Hongkong had been established, as they thought, for military objects in China, and, on that account, they begged the Imperial Govern- ment would undertake to pay for the cost of the establishments, and that they themselves should be relieved from taxes. The Secretary of State who had to decide this question was a man of great ability. It was in the year 1846. He was then a young man, but he evidently gave due attention to the subject, and, having reviewed the whole question, he expresses his opinion that the occupation of Hongkong was decided on solely and exclusively with a view to commercial interests; and, in a word, his despatch said it was established in the interests of trade alone, and that the traders naturally should pay the expenses of the Colony. I find that this same Secretary of State had in a previous despatch requested the Governor to have land sales in the town of Victoria at which none but Chinese could bid. Representations came from the Governor, either Sir HENRY POTTINGER or Sir JOHN DAVIS,-that there was a certain class of Chinese who would be peculiarly suitable for commercial operations, but that, owing to land jobbers, they could not compete at the land auctions in Hongkong, and therefore the Secretary of State took the rather strong course of saying there should be some land sales at which none but Chinese could bid. Well, he incurred a little local criticism for doing that, but when this despatch of his was published laying down the purely commercial objects of Hongkong, and stating that the Colony should pay for itself, the newspapers then printed here commented on it in these terms:-"The answer of Mr. GLADSTONE is universally regarded by everyone with whom we "have conversed since it was published, as sealing the fate of Hongkong. We do not believe it will be "met by any violent recrimination or outcry, but the disgust it has excited is such as will not be speedily "eradicated. What little trade we ever possessed here has been all but extinguished." Well, a gener- ation has passed since that criticism was published in the Colony, but I am bound to say, every year since then has justified Mr. GLADSTONE'S policy; and, at this moment, we are in a Colony whose commercial prosperity is perhaps unrivalled. Who now will venture to say that he was not right to encourage the Chinese to buy land and settle in Hongkong? Who now will differ with Mr. GLADSTONE as to the true character and object of this Colony?

Now, there is one aspect of this progress and prosperity which concerns us as a legislative body dealing with financial matters, and it is this, that as the Colony makes progress, the revenue should improve without the imposition of any new taxes. That has also taken place. The revenue and. expenditure of this Colony for the last three years were as follows:-In round numbers, the revenue in 1878 was £197,000; in 1879, £200,000; in 1880 it reached £222,000. The expenditure for each of these years respectively was, for 1878, £189,000; for 1879, £193,000; for 1880, £197,000. The expenditure was therefore kept, I think prudently, within the revenue. The valuators' returns for ten years past, recently laid before you, show that the valuation of house property fluctuated but little from 1871 to 1876, but that it rose steadily with the influx of Chinese in 1877, and has continued to increase. Hence the house taxes, which were at the same rate (12 per cent) in 1876 and in 1880, produced in these years respectively, £38,439, and £48,032. The opium farm also rose from £27,500 in 1876 to £42,708 in 1880. The other chief items of our revenue are stamps, postage, taxes on shipping, and certain licences, as well as various fees under the emigration and shipping ordinances. At a first glance, our taxation appears a little unfair, but in an Oriental community like this, I think it would be impossible to have it otherwise than it is. The opium farm falls exclusively on Chinese. On the other hand, the spirit licences, and certain items under the Stamp Ordinance, probably fall more, in proportion to their small numbers, on the Europeans; but, upon the whole, I am of opinion, and I am sure you will agree with me, that we are very lightly taxed. Hongkong is a free port; we have no income tax; we have no public debt, and we have a moderate surplus,-less than one year's income. For that revenue, which, as I say, has been a growing revenue for some years past, and that without the imposition of any additional taxation-for that revenue, what has the Government done? We have kept up, I think, an efficient police force, and there has been no stinting of money in those ordinary functions of Government represented by the various services and establishments of the Colony. Whatever has been required for getting the Supreme Court into that working order which the Chief Justice and His Honour the Acting Chief Justice urged.over and over again upon successive Governors as being necessary, has now been provided. It has involved a little expense with respect to interpretation and other points. The vote for public instruction is now larger than ever it was so is the vote for medical and sanitary purposes. I have added a new branch to the Harbour Department, the Surveyorship under our Merchant Shipping Ordinance of 1879. Instead of $700 a year as in 1877, we now spend $10,000 a year in tree planting. In short, I don't think anything. absolutely needed for the wants of the Colony has been neglected. I am bound to say, that during the four years of my Government of the Colony, whenever this Council has met I have been only too anxious to receive from my honourable friends any suggestions either with respect to prudent retrenchment or to any necessary outlay. And during these four years, there has not occurred one single division in Council

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 4TH JUNE, 1881.

Now, my two honourable friends on my right (the Acting Chief Justice and the Attorney General) have had experience in other Crown Colonies-in Singapore and Jamaica-and I think they will learn with some surprise and gratification the fact that for four years we have never had a division in this Council.

Perhaps there is some misunderstanding with respect to the functions of this Council. It has been asserted that an unofficial member of the Legislative Council has not the power of initiating anything, and that his position is a peculiar and somewhat discouraging one on that account. But, as a matter of fact, an unofficial member of the Legislative Council has, in that respect, exactly the same powers and privileges as a member of the House of Commons; a member of the Legislative Council can, in fact, initiate any vote or motion he pleases, with the one proviso that he cannot propose the expenditure of money. The same rule applies precisely in the House of Commons; there is no difference whatever; any motion may be made by members of Council in the form prescribed by the rules and regulations, all of which are really based on the orders and procedure of Parliament in England. Our Legislative Council, as constituted at. this moment, represents the community. We have now, and have had for some time past, a Chinese member sitting in this Council Chamber. No one, I am sure, will deny that I was justified in recommending the Queen to appoint a Chinese member on the Legislative Council in a Colony where so much of the commercial life is conducted by the Chinese-where the wealthiest merchants are Chinese-where the Chinese possess so much property-where they are the permanent inhabitants, and where nine-tenths of the Government revenues are contributed by them. We have, I am happy to say, a representative here of the old house of TURNER & Co., and a represent- ative of the great house of JARDINE, MATHESON & Co., and the official members of the Council, they also represent something more than the Government; so that, as far as this body. is concerned, it has, I think, every requisite a legislative body should possess for the proper conduct of public business. And that is one reason why I regard the progress this Colony has made as natural and safe. It has It has been brought about, in fact, by the community, and not been the doing of any one man. under the watchful eye of the legislature of the Colony.

""

I may, perhaps, take this opportunity of saying a few words upon a subject which has, no doubt, sometimes attracted your attention, and that is the allegation made that during the four years of my Government of this Colony, I have too much encouraged the Chinese. Now, I believe that the duty of a Governor in dealing with a community such as I find here, is to avoid what is popularly called encouragement of any body, or of any class, but to simply hold the balance evenly between all men. And that is what I have done. Coming here with a few years' experience, at the other side of the China Sea, of the Government of a Chinese community, I very soon after my arrival was waited on by some Chinese gentlemen of Hongkong, who frankly told me their position in the Colony. They pointed out upon them, to me that there were certain restrictions, some laid upon them, others attempted to be laid to which they objected, and they asked me, at all events, to assist them to this extent, not to allow undue or unfair restrictions to be laid on the Chinese, but to give them that same equality and fair play that they thought they were entitled to with all other subjects of the Queen. I was not in the Colony many weeks when there came under my notice one most serious restriction that was about to be laid upon them, and which, after consulting them, I was able to prevent. Three days before I came to the Colony, a proposal was made which would certainly have had the effect of preventing an influx of Chinese, and probably would have driven a good many out of the Colony. It was made after Sir ARTHUR KENNEDY left, three days before I arrived, and it was submitted to me because it was assumed

The Colonial Secretary himself had great. a certain amount of force would be necessary to carry it out.

It was called "Rules and Regulations with doubts as to its prudence, but he submitted it to me. respect to Chinese graves.' It was to apply solely to the Chinese. I requested the Colonial Secretary to get ten or a dozen of the most respectable Chinese that he and the Registrar-General knew, to come to me and consider these particular rules. They came. Mr. CHUN AYIN was the spokesman; Mr. WAI AKWONG was present, and some leading Chinese gentlemen now in the Colony. When the document was translated to them, they began by saying that the rules had been framed without any consultation with them and without their knowledge. They pointed out that the rules so framed were inconsistent with their religion and their usages as regards graves and services for the dead. One of the rules to which Mr. CHUN AYIN especially objected was this, "Single graves shall not be more than 6 feet long by 2 ft. wide, nor less than 5 feet deep." Now, he and others pointed out as regards the depth, that they thought it a very good thing, and that a law to that effect already existed in the Colony, but with respect to the provision "not more than 6 feet long by 2 feet wide," they said that their graves were always more than 6 feet long and 2 feet wide. An ordinary Chinese coffin measures 6 feet 6 inches in length, and it is 2 feet 7 inches wide at the head. The coffin of a Chinese gentleman who has received a button or decoration--and many of our merchants who have subscribed to various benevo- lent objects in China possess decorations-is 7 feet 9 inches long, and even the coffin of a Chinese pauper is over 6 feet in length. Therefore, these Chinese gentlemen said to me,-"There is no neces- sity for any exercise of force. The effect will be that we will go away if such rules are promulgated "about our graves." They reminded me of what occurred at Macao, and said it would drive people out of the Colony. I need hardly tell you that I put my veto on those rules and regulations, and that I have not allowed any system to be enforced that would offend the prejudices of the Chinese on the subject of their graves.

There also came before me a proposal which showed that a special restriction had been laid upon them, and which very much concerns what I said in the opening part of my remarks about the transactions in landed property. There came before me certain reports of the Surveyor-General referring to the restrictions imposed by order of the Governor in Council on the extension of Chinese premises in Hongkong. The Executive Council met to consider the reports. There was an appli- cation before me for converting certain European buildings in Queen's-road Central into Chinese structures, for building Chinese houses in Duddel-street, and there was also a proposal made by Messrs. DOUGLAS LAPRAIK & Co. to dispose of certain land for Chinese commercial purposes in another part of the Colony. The upshot of the discussion in Council was, that I was able to relax somewhat the rule that appeared to have been made by Sir RICHARD MACDONNELL, I think it was-to restrict the building of Chinese houses, and I was able to allow Mr. CHATER to sell the property and to allow the Chinese to build their shops and stores, but, although entertaining some doubts as to the policy of not allowing Messrs. DOUGLAS LAPRAIK & Co. to sell their land to Chinese, I declined, on the advice of the Council, to permit it. But in writing to the Secretary of State I said, "I am disposed to think the "line Mr. PRICE, the Surveyor General, has now drawn cannot be maintained very long in justice "either to the Chinese who wish to buy property. or to the Europeans who wish to sell it." mitted the minutes of Council and a memorandum by one of the members who opposed the slight I trans- relaxation I made in the restriction, and who expressed the opinion that the increase of Chinese I anticipated would not occur, for he thought the future of the Colony was to be what it had been in the early days, more of a European than a Chinese community, and, acting on that principle, he entered a protest, which I transmitted to the Secretary of State. However, Lord CARNARVON approved so far of what I did in partially removing the restriction, and so the matter rests.

The three or four years that have passed since then have only shown more clearly the impolicy, indeed, the impossibility, of trying to stem the free current of commercial life, and, by any artificial restrictions, of endeavouring to preserve the best parts of the town to Europeans or Americans. In fact, such restrictions are not merely restrictions on the Chinese of Hongkong; they are, indirectly, restrictions on the manufacturers of Manchester, who want the cheapest and best agents here for placing their goods on the China market.

I also had the opportunity of consulting the Chinese on another proposal. There came to me a resolution from the Chamber of Commerce, in which the Chamber proposed that the Government should adopt a system of registering all the sleeping partners in Chinese houses of business. They showed that it was exceedingly difficult to find out who had money in a Chinese trading concern, and recommended that the natives should be compelled by law, and under adequate penalties, to register every person who had a share, no matter how small, in a Chinese business. The Chamber of Com- merce added that they had no desire to apply this system to the European houses, but wished it to be confined solely to the Chinese. Acting on my usual principle, I mentioned it to some of the leading Chinese bankers and others, but they pointed out that the Chinese system of trading would be completely upset by it-that there is an extraordinary net-work of investments in this Colony, as in any other community of Chinese, and that it would interfere seriously with Chinese trade, and, in fact, tend to prevent the influx of Chinese into the Colony. Accordingly, I declined to accede to the proposal of the Chamber of Commerce.

From time to time suggestions have been made to me about sanitation, and they have generally assumed the character of recommending the pulling down of Chinese houses, compelling the Chinese to adopt what are called the rules of Western sanitary science, that is, to have underground drains, to build their houses after a system they do not like, and to conduct their domestic arrangements according to European and American models. There again I found, on consulting the Chinese, that they did not like it. They said all this would only tend to drive them away, and they ventured, shrewdly I think, to say that their own system had some merits, and that the system to be substituted for their own had not worked well elsewhere--had caused typhoid fever, diphtheria, and cholera, from which this Colony and the neighbouring ports are free.·

Well, gentlemen, it is upon such questions as these that I have been able to give to the Chinese community positive assurances to the effect that I would make no distinction between them and the other British subjects in the Colony. The mere fact of doing that which was, after all, but a negative exercise of the functions of the Government has gained for the Government the confidence of the Chinese community, and they have come to the Colony for the last three years in large numbers. They are settling here, buying property, and what they are doing is, no doubt, of great interest to us all. I must say it is of interest to me as the Queen's Representative, not merely because I see Her Majesty's Chinese subjects prosperous, but because what is going on in Hongkong tends to render prosperous men of our own race from England, Ireland, and Scotland in this Colony. I rejoice, also, to see that this prosperity is shared in by the Armenians, the Parsees, and other subjects of the Em- press of India; as well as by the Portuguese, the Americans, the Frenchmen, the Germans, and the other foreigners who here enjoy the commercial advantages of an Anglo-Chinese Colony and the protection of the British flag.

My honourable friend the Attorney General has seen the West Indian Islands. He and I have seen Englishmen full of enterprise and ability there, but we have seen, too, many of them bankrupt planters, broken-down merchants. Why?

Why? Because the native community they had to work with

392

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 4TH JUNE, 1881.

was not like the community of this Colony. Here you find a community industrious and temperate, with The Europeans But it is not merely Chinese who are making money. a natural aptitude for commerce. are making money also. And as we watch the transfer of business houses in this Colony, and see the Chinese trader coming closer, day by day, to the manufacturer of England, it is a deeply interesting fact to note, that, with the growing prosperity of the place, there arises a demand for British enterprise, for enterprise that the Chinese mind, with its unrivalled trading instincts and natural commercial skill, cannot at present supply. I refer to our local Companies, founded by Europeans. Is there any one here who can say that in any other Colony there are public Companies more prosperous than the public Companies of Hongkong? Take them all in all, the public Companies founded by the enterprise and ability of our European merchants in this Colony, are at this moment eminently prosperous,―our Dock Company, Sugar Companies, River Steamer Companies, Insurance Companies, our Gas Company and our local European Bank. What Eastern Company is more flourishing than the Hongkong and Shanghai Bank? Well, the success that has attended these Companies arises, no doubt, in the first instance from the enterprise of those who originated them, but we must not forget the fact that they are worked in the midst of a Chinese community, and that it is impossible to separate the prosperity of our fellow countrymen from the prosperity of the natives of the Colony.

There is one other consideration which I may venture on this occasion to point out to you. It is this, that of all the colonies in Her Majesty's Empire, this is, perhaps, the most interesting in what may

be called the foreign policy that is forced on the Government. We are close to an extra- ordinary Empire. This little Colony has with the Empire of China the most intimate commercial relations. What should be the duty of this Colony to the Chinese? Apart from the general principle of doing justice to all, I have to look to the interests of England and the instructions of Her Majesty on this subject, and there is no doubt, the interests of England are gravely involved in having this Colony maintain friendly relations with China. The Chinese have at the moment, and have had for many years, a great deal of internal content. And what is the consequence? Throughout China now, there is a development of industrial resources and a production of wealth which cannot fail to benefit the British manufacturer and British ship-owner. China is an essentially progressive nation,-cautious and slow, but, I say, eminently progressive. It is not progressive in certain respects, no doubt; for instance, not in that way one sees sometimes depicted in Punch, where children assume to lecture their parents, and where the rising generation expresses contempt for grey hairs. That is a species of progress we do not see in China. His Honour on my right will also, perhaps, have noticed in some of the commer- cial cases before him, that there are some practices sanctioned by our bankruptcy law in which one would be sorry to see China making progress in the sense in which the term is sometimes used in Western nations and the United States. I was much struck the other day on reading some evidence gone from printed by order of the Congress of the United States with respect to the Chinese who had Hongkong to San Francisco. There I find the evidence of the Chairman of the Chamber of Com- merce, a gentleman apparently of large business transactions. He speaks of having transactions amounting to millions of dollars with the Chinese. But what he says is, in effect, this,"I find I can have these business transactions with the Chinese in San Francisco with perfect safety. I take no "bond or security from them. Large sums of money and goods to a considerable amount pass. If "it were a countryman of my own or any other foreigner, I would have to adopt a different system. In short, he says, "I attribute the commercial prosperity of the Chinese in San Francisco to their great commercial probity." Another leading American merchant of San Francisco, in his evidence, are clear-headed, says, "The Chinese pay their debts ten times more promptly than our white men; they "shrewd, intelligent, and capable of managing business on a large scale; this is especially true of the

hong merchants of Hongkong."

66

""

Those commercial qualities make China a safely progressive country, and make it the duty and interest of a trading Colony like this, and a commercial Empire like England, to be at peace with China. I would push this principle of peace to the extent of not worrying them with advice. They will understand, in course of time, that there is something to be learned, especially in physical science, from Western nations. But, above all, we should avoid, either in dealing with the Queen's subjects in this Colony, or in our relations with the Empire near us, any attempt to force on the Chinese institu- tions which are unsuited to them, and some of which we, in course of time, may, perhaps, discover are unsuited to ourselves. Those are the principles by which I have endeavoured to guide my four years' administration of this Colony, and now, in submitting to you these returns, which correspond with the period of that administration, I can only express the hope, and I do it with every confidence, that, when the next census is taken, all classes in this Colony will be as prosperous as they are to-day.

The motion that the papers be printed was passed.

THE PENAL LAWS AMENDMENT BILL.

The GOVERNOR then moved the introduction of the Penal Laws, Amendment Bill. He said it embodied certain recommendations that he had submitted to the Secretary of State, to the effect that the Branding Ordinances, and all Ordinances imposing flogging on the Chinese race exclusively, be repealed; that public flogging and flogging Chinese on the back be abolished, and that no flogging be allowed in Hongkong except for such offences as would entail flogging in England. Her Majesty's Government had authorized the introduction of the Bill. It was read a first time and ordered to be printed. The second reading to be taken at the next meeting of Council.

FINANCE COMMITTEE.

Certain votes that had passed the finance committee were then confirmed. His Excellency adjourned the Council sine die.

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.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 4TH JUNE, 1881.

With reference to the vote for $1,459.43 for "Repairs to the Praya Roadway and Praya East, damaged by storm," His Excellency remarks that it was absolutely necessary for him to sanction the expenditure; but inasmuch as it was the destruction of a roadway built so recently as last year, he has ordered some enquiry into the cause of the damage.

Some conversation ensues on the subject of gratuities to widows of Officers.

Adverting to the vote for $1,800 for the City Hall, His Excellency takes the opportunity of saying, that he hopes before long to have the satisfaction of renewing the annual grant of $1,200 per annum for the salary of the Curator of the Museum, because he has very little doubt the views of Her Majesty's Government will shortly be met, and all race and class distinctions abolished in the notice of admission to the Museum. His Excellency also speaks of the state of some of the Books in the City Hall Library, and says that he is disposed to ask the Council to vote a sum of money towards the purchase of some new books, and the re-binding of the old ones.

His Excellency adjourns the Council sine die.

SIR JOHN POPE HENNESSY, K.C.M.G.,

ON THE CENSUS RETURNS AND THE PROGRESS OF THE COLONY.

At the Meeting of the Legislative Council on Friday, the 3rd June, 1881, in laying the census returns on the table, His Excellency said:-

Gentlemen, you are aware that, under instructions

from Her Majesty's Government, the census was taken in this Colony on the 3rd of April last. The former census was taken at the end of 1876. It was submitted to Sir ARTHUR KENNEDY a few days before he left the Colony for Queensland, and it became my duty to make a brief report upon it. It is unusual, almost unprecedented,

for the same Governor to have to make reports upon two successive censuses. A census is

gene-

rally taken every ten years, but it happens that only four years and four months have elapsed

since the last census in this Colony. But apart altogether from what may be unusual in official

procedure, I find, looking at the returns I am now about to put upon the table, that there is something unusual in the important facts they disclose. A comparison of the census of 1881 with the census of December 1876, shows an amount of real progress and substantial prosperi- ty in the short space of four years such as, I believe, can only be equalled in the Australian Colonies, and which is, perhaps, unprecedented in any of the Crown colonies.

you,

and my state-

In putting these census returns before in moving, as I shall do at the end of ment, that they be printed, I desire to give every Member of the Council an opportunity of making any remarks he may think fit upon them. They will enable the Council to answer three questions. They will enable you to decide how far the Colo- ny of Hongkong has really fulfilled the objects

you also to determine whether it is true, what you have all heard said so often (out of Hongkong,

or by unobservant residents in it), namely, that there are no trades and manufactures whatever

in this colony; and these returns will also enable us to decide a question much discussed here now, -whether the recent transactions in land, the important sales and transfers of land, that have taken place of late, are speculative, or whether they are really bona fide the result of healthy commercial progress, and a matter of necessity.

With respect to the latter point, I am placing

upon the table a return which has been prepared

in the Survey Department in consequence of a minute of mine, in which I directed attention to the publication in the Daily Press of the 11th

May, 1881, of a statement of transactions in land-

ed property in Hongkong, and called upon the proper officers to have that return checked and verified. Accordingly, that return, which, no doubt, you have all seen, was transmitted to the. Acting Surveyor-General. He has now furnished

us with an authentic statement of the transac-

tions, from the Land Office books, that have taken place in the transfer and sale of property from the first of January last year to the 11th of May this year. To be brief, I think, on the whole, he cor- roborates what appeared in the Daily Press; and the summary he gives at the end is to this effect:--- Total value of properties bought by Chinese from

foreigners, $1,710,036; total value of properties bought by Chinese from the Government, $17,705; total value of properties bought by foreigners from foreigners, $216,750; total value of proper- ties bought by foreigners from the Government, $5,060; total value of properties bought by foreigners from Chinese, $16,450.

Now, this large item of $1,710,000 on the transfer of property, almost entirely for com- mercial purposes, to the Chinese community since January last year, is undoubtedly an event of great importance. Is it speculative, or is it justi-

fied by the returns I am now laying on the table? In the first place, what do we learn from the census returns of the Registrar-General? We find that the population has risen from 139,144 in 1876 to 160,402 in 1881, showing, in four years and four months, an increase of 21,258, and of this increase the Chinese population account for 20,532. The Registrar-General adds, that the European and American community is larger by 273; that the increase is among the British, Portu-

guese, Germans and Italians, and is that of women

and children; that the male adult population of Europeans and Americans has decreased. This

fact is of interest, because, whilst, taking the male adult British subjects from the United Kingdom, there has been a decrease from 342 to 336,there has been an increase in the number of women and of boys and girls. So, too, with the Portuguese; there is a falling off from 418 adult males in 1876 to 384 at present, but an increase in the women and

children. So, too, with the Germans; there is a falling off in the adult German population, and in

the American population, and in the French

pop- ulation, but in each case there is an increase in the number of women and children. This fact, I say, is of interest, because the tropical Colony

where European children flourish cannot be very

unhealthy. The vitality of a foreign child is a delicate test of climate, and I believe we can point to this particular item in the census returns

as affording some indication that Hongkong is growing more healthy. And now, proceeding to the question of the 20,000 additional Chinese, we have to consider this:-Has the increase in the various mercantile occupations of the Chinese

been such as to justify the remarkable transfer of landed property I have referred to? The census returns furnish us with an opportunity of testing how far in the harbour of Victoria itself the means we have of commercial movement--that is, the transference of goods from steamer to steamer, from steamer to shore, and vice versa-how far that has been facilitated since the year 1876. From the returns, I find that that movement is conducted by steam launches, cargo boats, and sampans. The steam launches have increased from 8 in 1876 to 37 in 1881, the cargo boats from 494 to 656, and the sampans from 1,357 to 2,088. So far for the machinery that we have in our harbour for conducting the commercial move-

ment of the Colony; it has substantially increas ed. The returns I am laying before you are identical in form with the returns prepared in the time of Sir ARTHUR KENNEDY, and probably his predecessors, and amongst these returns there is one which answers the question I have been ask- ing, and that is a return of the occupations of the Chinese adult male inhabitants of the Colony. On analysing that return, I find that the follow- ing are the changes that have taken place since the last census with respect to Chinese merchants and other Chinese directly concerned in the trade and commerce of the Colony.

The Chinese Trading hongs,--that is, the Nam-pak hongs and other wealthy merchants who now send the manufactures of England into China, have increased from 215 to 395. Chinese

traders have increased from 287 to 2,377;Chinese brokers, from 142 to 455. Taking the Chinese engaged in dealing in money;-the Shroffs have increased from 40 to 208; the Teachers of shroffing

have increased from 9 to 14 ; the Bullion dealers, who do not appear in any former census, are now returned at 34; the Money Changers, 111 in 1876, still remain at 111, but in 1876 there were no Chinese Bankers returned, and now we have in this census 55 Chinese Bankers. The piece- goods dealers have increased from 78 in 1876 to 109, and cotton and yarn dealers from 38 to 58. This is of interest, not merely to Manchester, Bradford or Leeds: these Chinese merchants of Hongkong are now facilitating an Indian trade with China, healthier, and with a safer future, than the trade in that drug which a few years ago was the only considerable commercial link between British India and China. Since 1877,

the quantity of Bombay yarn received in Hong- kong has steadily risen from 21,000 bales to

61,000. The increase in the value of this trade from $1,706,913 in 1877 to $5,251,246 in 1880, has been coincident with an increase in our imports of raw cotton from Bengal and Rangoon

from 33,000 bales in 1877 to 86,000 in 1880. Our opium trade shows no such tendency to increase. In 1880, we imported 87,747 chests,

as against 88,428 in 1877. Mr. F. D. SassoON tells me that the value of our total trade with India last year was $67,772,937, the value of the opium being $58,248,235. Though the trade in other goods than opium is but one-sixth of the total Indian trade, yet it is so rapidly developing, that I look forward with confidence to the time when it will outstrip, and, perhaps, enable the Indian Government to curtail, the trade in opium. Tea merchants have increased from 26 to 51, rice dealers from 95 to 128, coal dealers from 16 to 20, firearms dealers from 15 to 20, timber dealers from 15 to 107, drapers from 101 to 156, and foreign goods dealers from 167 to 191. -Com- pradores have increased from 77 to 95, ship compradores from 67 to 113, and ship charterers from 7 to 41. Looking to the increase I have pointed out in the ordinary machinery for com- mercial movement in the harbour, to this remark- able increase of the mercantile community, and to the well-known magnitude of the mercantile transactions of our Chinese merchants, it seems clear that this large expenditure, since January 1880, of $1,710,000 by Chinese for commercial property was a necessary expenditure.

There is another question that we may fairly ask. It has often been said, and there is hardly a directory or guide relating to Hongkong in which you do not see it recorded, that Hongkong has no local manufactures whatever. Is that true? Well, on turning to the census returns, I find many local Chinese manufactures in this Colony. Bamboo workers have increased from 93 in 1876 to 121 in 1881; Boat builders, from 48 to 110; Carvers, from 59 to 70; Cigar makers, from 21 to 31; Engineers from 10 to 121, and Gold beaters from 41 to 60. Glass manufacturers appear for the first time; there are now 16 in the Colony, and I believe at this moment the glass manufactory to the west of the town is capable of turning out such glass as some of the European storekeepers here are themselves prepared to sell; and when a service of glass may get injured, they can now send to our local glass manufactory and get tumblers to replace those broken in the set. I find image makers have increased from 10 to 15, lantern makers from 50 to 63, leather box nakers from 39 to 53. lemonade and soda-water

makers from 28 to 30. Match manufacturers did not appear in the former census; they now number 13. Oar makers have increased from 30 ̇to 43. Opium dealers have declined from 108 to 103, but that is not coincident with any decline in the revenue the Government of Hongkong derives from the monopoly of prepared opium, which was $132,000 in 1877, but was sold in 1879 for $205,000 a year. Paper box makers

have declined from 21 to 10, and rattan workers from 596 to 448. Of rifle makers we have five

in the Colony. Sail and rope makers have in- creased from 100 to 141, and sandal-wood dealers

and workers, from 74 to 76. Workers in sapan-

wood have declined from 96 to 20, and though

there is apparently a decline in the number of sauce manufacturers from 49 to 41, there has been

an increase in the quantity of sauce manufactured.

I'may mention, that a short time before the late Mr. Kwok AcHEONG died, I went with him and

two or three other Chinese gentlemen interested in

the factory at Yau-má-ti, to examine the factory,

which was in a more or less rude state, the build-

ings not being then completed. I was glad to

see what they were doing. In addition to making

soy, they made ketchup for the European market,

and they had also a manufactory for preserving

fruits. Now, the ketchup is sent in hundreds of barrels every year direct from Hongkong to a

well-known house in London,-that well-known

provision merchant whose good things most of

"

us have, from time to time, enjoyed. He sends out thousands of little bottles of his ketchup to Chinese as well as to European storekeepers here, so that, in short, the ketchup we consume as English ketchup is manufactured by Chinese in

Hongkong, sent to England, and this famous provision merchant in England returns it to us

for retail. I am bound to add, that the latest advices are that the peculiar article which is pro- duced by the Chinese manufacturer at Yau-má-ti was regarded at the recent sales in London as the best in the market, and our little local manu- factory is very successful. I find immediately following this we come to the soap manufacturers; they do not appear in the last census, and they are now only 7 in number. There also appears, for the first time, one spectacle-maker. We have Chinese sugar refiners; they have declined from 25 to 15, and tanners from 7 to 1. Tobacco manufacturers have increased from 44 to 96. Tooth-powder makers appear also for the first time; they number. 57. Umbrella-makers have increased from-97 to-169,vermilion manufacturers and dealers from 111 to 123, and Weavers, who appear for the first time in our census, number 6. It is, therefore, clear that we have in this Colony numerous local manufactures which have every prospect of extending.

But apart from the question of such manufac- tures, there are in this Colony, as you all know, various industries employing Chinese artizans. Carpenters have increased from 2,510 to 2,923, blacksmiths from 690 to 708, pewter-smiths from 60 to 173, tinsmiths from 88 to 172, and braziers from 488 to 864. Masons show a falling off from 845 to 542. Rice-pounders have inoreased from 954 to 1,083, and in stone-cutters there is a large

increase, from 449 to 1,439. The number of tailors now in the Colony, who work with sewing machines mostly, amounts to 1,857. It is an interesting fact, that for these tailors drill is imported into the Colony from England; they make it up with their sewing machines, and the made clothes are then exported to New Zealand

and Australia. In that way Chinese cheap labour, even without leaving the atmosphere of China, is,

to a certain extent, successfully competing with

Australian and English manufacturers of clothes.

There are certain special occupations of the Chinese which are worth noting, as they indicate the prosperity of the natives. We have the birds'

nest sellers, who have increased from 12 to 35, the sharks' fins dealers, from 9 to 15, beancurd sellers, from 93 to 107, jadestone dealers, from 8 to 18; but cinnamon dealers have fallen from 8 to 7. Sessamum oil dealers appear for the first time, and number 5, and ginseng dealers also appear for the first time and are 4 in number. Joss-paper sellers have increased from 30 to 47, joss-house keepers, from 17 to 41, and chair coolies, from 859 to 980.

In addition to those who are concerned in our commerce and trades, there is a certain amount of professional life amongst the Chinese, as shown by the census returns. We had in 1876,198 Chinese doctors; now we have 333.

Well, the

question has often been asked, whether Chinese doctors do much good, but I think we may, per- haps, rely upon the good sense of those who em-

ploy them and have confidence in their empirical

knowledge and skill. But even the European community and the Government of the Colony owe a debt of gratitude to some of those Chinese doctors. Hongkong is peculiarly situated with respect to the possibility of an influx of small-pox. Perhaps no other port in the world is more liable to a visitation from that disease, and yet, though occasionally I get a report from the Harbour Master of a case or two that may be brought here, it does not spread in the Colony. How does that come to pass? I was talking not long since to the Health Officer, Dr. ADAMS, and he tells me he has to examine the Chinese who emigrate, and

he finds nearly all the young Chinese have three or four vaccination marks, or inoculation marks,

He upon the arms.

he was often puzzled to says know how this vaccination came to be apparently so perfect among the Chinese. Well, the fact is, that for some years past the doctors of the Tung- wá Hospital have vaccinated extensively, and some of them have been employed as travelling vaccinators, who go about this Colony, and who, since 1878, visit the mainland and vaccinate all through the neighbouring province of China. Thousands upon thousands have been vaccinated

by them. The returns are printed in our annual Blue Books. Thousands upon thousands have when I saw the annual returns sent in by the Colonial Surgeon not many weeks ago, I appended

been vaccinated during the last four years.

the following minute to that document:-"I can-

"not find any return showing the number of

"vaccinations by the Medical Officers of the

Colony. Ascertain how many persons have

"been vaccinated every year for the last four "years by the Colonial Surgeon, the Health “ Officer, the Superintendent of the Civil Hospital,

“ and the Deputy Superintendent.” This appears to have been sent to the Colonial Surgeon for a report. The report of the Colonial Surgeon was very brief:--“ No. return has ever been kept."

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 11TH JUNE, 1881.

Whereupon, my honourable friend on my left

(the Acting Colonial Secretary) writes to the

Colonial Surgeon asking him if he could from his memory, and approximately, furnish the number

he has himself vaccinated, and get the same in-

formation from the other Medical Officers of the Government. The reply of the Colonial Surgeon

is:-"I have the honour to inform you that ten

persons were vaccinated in the Hospital by the

Superintendent. I have not been able to obtain

any more information from the Superintendent.

"The Acting Health Officer vaccinated his own "child twice without success. I have performed

“32 vaccinations on children; fifteen unsuccess-

“fully, and about as many more on adults.”

And then he proceeds to state that he distributed

lymph, which I send to him (it comes to me

every mail in my despatch bag from Downing Street), amongst his professional brethern in the Colony and at Canton. He adds, that in future he will take care that a record of the vaccinations by the Government Officers is kept. It may, of course, be said that the Colonial Surgeon and the other Officers of the Government were aware of the fact that this semi-Administrative duty,-in fact, a duty of no slight importance to the Government and the Colony,- -was actually being

performed for them by the directors of the Tung- wá Hospital, and, therefore, they did not think it necessary to interfere with the Chinese doctors, who were vaccinating thousands of people and doing it so well, and who have protected the

Colony so thoroughly. Passing from the doctors,

we come to the druggists, who have also increased from 164 to 243. I find, for the first time in the

professional life of the Chinese in this Colony,

that we have three dentists. About eighteen months ago I visited one, not professionally, but

for the purpose of seeing the instruments he used, and I then found he had the same apparatus we find in all dentists' establishments. In fact, he did work for the first-rate American dentists we have here, being fully capable of making or repair- ing sets of teeth. He was a gentleman of intelli- gence, and impressed me, I must say, as favourably as a dentist could. I also find Chinese architects for the first time, five in number. For the first time, we also have in the list one geomancer. I have not seen that gentleman, but I find in the list perhaps an antidote to the geomancer; for the first time we see in this list a Chinese barrister- at-law. I think we may all congratulate ourselves on his appearing not only in the census returns as a barrister, but as being also a member, by the Queen's favour, of the Legislature of the Colony.

I find also on this list three newspaper editors, but there were three in 1876. They are not exactly the same three, because one, a gentleman who was enumerated in 1876, was a friend of mine, the editor of the Chinese Mail, Mr. CHUN AYIN, and I believe that newspaper editor is now receiving a salary of twelve hundred pounds per annum as an officer of the Chinese Government

in Cuba, where, I understand, he is the Consul- General. I don't know whether I am right in classing them amongst the professional portion of the Chinese community, but I find we have 84

fortune-tellers in the Colony, instead of 46 in 1876. The schoolmasters have increased from 114 to 171, and students from 341 to 2,562. These students are not to be confounded with school-boys, who are dealt with in another part of the census. Most of these gentlemen who return themselves as students are, no doubt, young men, but some of them possibly are old men, who devote themselves to literary pursuits. Portrait painters have increased from 170 to 200, and photographers from 30 to 45. Story-tellers have decreased from 5 to 1. Musicians, also, I am sorry to see, have fallen from 70' to 30. If it were not one of those statistical fallacies that sometimes

occur, even in the best regulated Registrar Gene-

ral's Office, it would be a melancholy fact, that when our Chinese bankers and bullion dealers come upon the scene, the story-tellers and musi- cians seem to disappear. Perhaps great material prosperity is not without some drawbacks.

On the whole, it is manifest we have in this Colony an increased Chinese community of great importance to the commercial interests of England, and, therefore, we may at once answer the question as to this large dealing in land, and may admit it was a just and natural process, and that this transfer of property from Europeans to Chinese was not of a merely speculative kind.

Now, does Hongkong fulfil the object for which

it was established? That I need hardly ask you, gentlemen, after the brief resumé I have given you of our census returns. But it has sometimes

been discussed what the object of this Colony

is, and in my time I have heard it said that it is a military object, or a naval object-I have generally been of opinion myself it was commercial

but I find on referring to a despatch of the Secretary of State to Sir JOHN DAVIS, where this question was raised, that there it is briefly and clearly laid down for what object this Colony was really established, Sir JOHN DAVIS had to forward to Her Majesty's Government a memorial from the foreign merchants complaining of the taxation of Hongkong. They represented that Hongkong had been established, as they thought, for military objects in China, and, on that account, they begged the Imperial Government would undertake to pay for the cost of the establish- ments, and that they themselves should be relieved from taxes. The Secretary of State who had to decide this question was a man of great ability. It was in the year 1846. He was then a young man, but he evidently gave due attention to the subject, and, having reviewed the whole question, he expresses his opinion that the occupation of Hongkong was decided on solely and exclusively with a view to commercial interests; and, in a word, his despatch said it was established in the interests of trade alone, and that the traders

the pay naturally should

I find that this same Secretary of State had in a previous despatch requested the Governor to have land sales in the town of Victoria at which none but Chinese could bid. Representations came rom the Governor, either Sir HENRY POTTINGER

也業誠須爭頓

or Sir JOHN DAVIS,-that there was a certain class of Chinese who would be peculiarly suitable for commercial operations, but that, owing to land

jobbers, they could not compete at the land auctions in Hongkong, and therefore the Secretary

of State took the rather strong course of saying

there should be some land sales at which none

but Chinese could bid. Well, he incurred a little

local criticism for doing that, but when this

despatch of his was published laying down the

purely commercial objects of Hongkong, and

stating that the Colony should pay for itself, the

newspapers then printed here commented on it in

these terms:-"The answer of Mr. GLADSTONE

"is universally regarded by everyone with whom

"we have conversed since it was published, as sealing the fate of Hongkong. We do not

"believe it will be met by any violent recrimination

"or outcry, but the disgust it has excited is such

as will not be speedily eradicated. What little

"trade we ever possessed here has been all but

“ extinguished.” Well, a generation has passed

since that criticism was published in the Colony,

but I am bound to say, every year since then has justified Mr. GLADSTONE's policy; and, at this

moment, we are in a Colony whose commercial

prosperity is perhaps unrivalled. Who now will

venture to say that he was not right to encourage

the Chinese to buy land and settle in Hongkong? Who now will differ with Mr. GLADSTONE as to the true character and object of this Colony?

There is one aspect of this progress and

new taxes.

prosperity which concerns us as a legislative body dealing with financial matters, and it is this,- that as the Colony makes progress, the revenue should improve without the imposition of any That has also taken place. The revenue and expenditure of this Colony for the last three years were as follows: The revenue in 1878 was £197,424; in 1879,£200,853; in 1880 it reached £222,905. The expenditure for each of these years respectively was, for 1878, £189,692; for 1879,£193,097; for 1880, £197,502. The expenditure was therefore kept; I think prudently, within the revenue.

The valuators' returns for ten years past, recently laid before you, show that the valuation of house property fluctuated but little from 1871 to 1876, but that it rose steadily with the influx of Chinese in 1877, and has continued to increase. Hence the house taxes, which were at the same rate (12 per cent) in 1876 and in 1880, produced in these

years respectively, £38,439, and £48,032. The opium farm also rose from £27,500 in 1876 to £42,708 in 1880. The other chief items of our revenue are stamps, postage, taxes on ship- ping, and certain licences, as well as various fees under the emigration and shipping ordinances. At a first glance, our taxation appears a little unfair, but in an Oriental community like this, I think it would be impossible to have it otherwise than it is. The opium farm falls exclusively on Chinese. On the other hand, the spirit licences, and certain items under the Stamp Ordinance, probably fall more, in proportion to their small numbers, on the Europeans; but, upon the whole,

surplus,-less than one year's income. For that

revenue, which, as I say, has been a growing

revenue for some years past, and that without the

imposition of any additional taxation-for that

revenue, what has the Government done? We

have kept up, I think, an efficient police force,

and there has been no stinting of money in those

ordinary functions of Government represented by

the various services and establishments of the

Colony. Whatever has been required for getting

the Supreme Court into that working order which

the Chief Justice and His Honour the Acting

Chief Justice urged over and over again upon successive Governors as being necessary, has now

been provided. It has involved a little expense

with respect to interpretation and other points. The vote for public instruction is now larger than ever it was: so is the vote for medical and sanitary purposes. I have added a new branch to the Harbour Department,-the Surveyorship under our Merchant Shipping Ordinance of 1879. In-

stead of $700 a year as in 1877, we now spend $10,000 a year in tree planting. In short, I don't think anything absolutely needed for the wants of the Colony has been neglected. I am bound to say, that during the four years of my Govern- ment of the Colony, whenever this Council has met I have been only too anxious to receive from my honourable friends any suggestions either with respect to prudent retrenchment or to any neces- years, there sary outlay. And during these four has not occurred one single division in Council. Now, my two honourable friends on my right (the Acting Chief Justice and the Attorney General)

have had experience in other Crown Colonies- in Singapore and Jamaica-and I think they will learn with some surprise and gratification the

fact that for four years we have never had a division in this Council.

Perhaps there is some misunderstanding with respect to the functions of this Council. It has been asserted that an unofficial member of the Legislative Council has not the power of initiating anything, and that his position is a peculiar and somewhat discouraging one on that account. But, as a matter of fact, an unofficial member of the Legislative Council has, in that respect, exactly the same powers and privileges as a member of the House of Commons; a member of the Legis- lative Council can, in fact, initiate any vote or motion he pleases, with the one proviso that he cannot propose the expenditure of money. The same rule applies precisely in the House of Com- mons; there is no difference whatever; any motion may be made by members of Council in the form prescribed by the rules and regulations, all of which are really based on the orders and procedure of Parliament in England. Our Legislative Coun- cil, as constituted at this moment, represents the community. We have now, and have had for some time past, a Chinese member sitting in this Council Chamber. No one, I am sure, will deny

425

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 11TH JUNE, 1881.

公局局聲年本業華諒本

that I was justified in recommending the Queen to appoint a Chinese member on the Legislative

Council in a Colony where so much of the com- mercial life is conducted by the Chinese-where

the wealthiest merchants are Chinese-where the Chinese possess so much property-where they are the permanent inhabitants, and where nine- tenths of the Government revenues are contributed

by them. We have, I am happy to say, a repre- sentative here of the old house of TURNER & Co., and a representative of the great house of JARDINE, MATHESON & Co., and the official members of the Council, they also represent something more than the Government; so that, as far as this body is concerned, it has, I think, every requisite a legis- lative body should possess for the

possess for the proper conduct of public business. And that is one reason why I regard the progress this Colony has made as natural and safe. It has not been the doing of any one man. It has been brought about, in fact, by the community, and under the watchful eye of the legislature of the Colony.

Ι may, perhaps, take this. opportunity of saying a few words upon a subject which has, no doubt, sometimes attracted your attention, and that is the allegation made that during the four years of my Government of this Colony, I have too much encouraged the Chinese. Now, I believe that the duty of a Governor in dealing with a community such as I find here, is to avoid what is popularly called encouragement of any body, or of any class, but to simply hold the balance evenly between all men.

And that is what I have done. Coming

here with a few years' experience, at the other side of the China Sea, of the Government of a Chinese community, I very soon after my arrival was

waited on by some Chinese gentlemen of Hong- kong, who frankly told me their position in the Colony. They pointed out to me that there were

certain restrictions, some laid upon them, others

attempted to be laid upon them, to which they objected, and they asked me, at all events, to assist them to this extent,-not to allow undue or unfair restrictions to be laid on the Chinese, but to give them that same equality and fair play that they thought they were entitled to with all other subjects of the Queen. I was not in the Colony many weeks when there came under my notice one,most serious restriction that was about

to be laid upon them, and which, after consulting them, I was able to prevent. Three days before I came to the Colony, a proposal was made which would certainly have had the effect of preventing an influx of Chinese, and probably would have driven a good many out of the Colony. It was made after Sir ARTHUR KENNEDY left, three days before I arrived, and it was submitted to me because it was assumed a certain amount of force

would be necessary to carry it out. The Colonial Secretary himself had great doubts as to its prud- ence, but he submitted it to me. It was called "Rules and Regulations with respect to Chinese

""

graves. It was to apply solely to the Chinese. I requested the Colonial Secretary to get ten or a dozen of the most respectable Chinese that he and the Registrar-General knew, to come to me and

Mr. CHUN AYIN was the spokesman; Mr. WAI AKWONG was present, and some leading Chinese gentlemen now in the Colony. When the document was translated to them, they began by saying that the rules had been framed without any consultation

consider these particular rules. They came.

with them and without their knowledge. They pointed out that the rules so framed were incon-

sistent with their religion and their usages as regards graves and services for the dead. One

of the rules to which Mr. CHUN AYIN especially

objected was this, "Single graves shall not be more than 6 feet long by 2 ft. wide, nor less than

5 feet deep.” Now, he and others pointed out

as regards the depth, that they thought it a very

good thing, and that a law to that effect already

existed in the Colony, but with respect to the

provision “not more than 6 feet long by 2 feet

wide," they said that their graves were always

more than 6 feet long and 2 feet wide. An ordi-

nary Chinese coffin measures 6 feet 6 inches in

length, and it is 2 feet 7 inches wide at the head.

The coffin of a Chinese gentleman who has received a button or decoration--and many of our mer- chants who have subscribed to various benevolent objects in China possess decorations-is 7 feet 9 inches long, and even the coffin of a Chinese

pauper is over 6 feet in length. Therefore, these Chinese gentlemen said to me," There is no "necessity for any exercise of force. The effect "will be that we will go away if such rules are "promulgated about our graves." They reminded me of what occurred at Macao, and said it would drive people out of the Colony. I need hardly tell you that I put my veto on those rules and regulations, and that I have not allowed any system to be enforced that would offend the prejudices of the Chinese on the subject of their

graves.

There also came before me a proposal which showed that a special restriction had been laid upon them, and which very much concerns what I said in the opening part of my remarks about the transactions in landed property. There came before me certain reports of the Surveyor-General referring to the restrictions imposed by order of the Governor in Council on the extension of Chi- nese premises in Hongkong. The Executive Council met to consider the reports. There was an application before me for converting certain European buildings in Queen's-road Central into Chinese structures, for building Chinese houses in Duddel-street, and there was also a proposal made by Messrs. DOUGLAS LAPRAIK & Co. to dispose of certain land for Chinese commercial purposes in another part of the Colony. The upshot of the discussion in Council was, that I was able to relax somewhat the rule that appeared to have been made by Sir RICHARD MACDONNELL, I think it was-to restrict the building of Chinese houses, and I was able to allow Mr. CHATER to sell the property and to allow the Chinese to build their shops and stores, but, although enter-

taining some doubts as to the policy of not allow-

ing Messrs. DOUGLAS LAPRAIK & Co. to sell their land to Chinese, I declined, on the advice of the

Secretary of State I said, "I am disposed to think

I transmitted the minutes of Council and a me- morandum by one of the members who opposed

the slight relaxation I made in the restriction,

and who expressed the opinion that the Governor

should oppose the erection of Chinese shops and

houses in the European business quarter of the

city, and reserve the central portion of the city

for English and foreign firms. He seemed to

think that the increase of Chinese I anticipated

would not occur, and that the future of the Colony

of a European than a Chinese community.

was to be what it had been in the early days, more How-

ever, Lord CARNARVON approved so far of what I

did in partially removing the restriction, and so

the matter rests. The three or four

The three or four years that

have passed since then have only shown more

clearly the impolicy, indeed, the impossibility, of

trying to stem the free current of commercial life,

and, by any artificial restrictions, of endeavouring

to preserve the best parts of the town to Europeans or Americans. In fact, such restrictions are not merely restrictions on the Chinese of Hongkong;

they are, indirectly, restrictions on the manufac-

turers of Manchester, who want the cheapest and best agents here for placing their goods on the

China market.

工碍此貿本 本來

I also had the opportunity of consulting the 此貿所貿有乃寡

Chinese on another proposal. There came to me a resolution from the Chamber of Commerce, in

which the Chamber proposed that the Government

should adopt a system of registering all the sleep- ing partners in Chinese houses of business. They showed that it was exceedingly difficult to find out who had money in a Chinese trading concern, and recommended that the natives should be compelled by law, and under adequate penalties, to register every person who had a share, no matter how small, in a Chinese business. The Chamber of Commerce added that they had no desire to apply this system to the European houses, but wished it to be confined solely to the Chinese. Acting on my usual principle, I men- tioned it to some of the leading Chinese bankers

1

and others, but they pointed out that the Chinese system of trading would be completely upset by it-that there is an extraordinary net-work of investments in this Colony, as in any other com- munity of Chinese, and that it would interfere seriously with Chinese trade, and, in fact, tend to prevent the influx of Chinese into the Colony. Accordingly, I declined to accede to the proposal of the Chamber of Commerce.

From time to time suggestions have been made to me about sanitation, and they have generally assumed the character of recommending the pull- ing down of Chinese houses, compelling the Chinese to adopt what are called the rules of Western sanitary science, that is, to have under- ground drains, to build their houses after a system

they do not like, and to conduct their domestic arrangements according to European and American models. There again I found, on consulting the Chinese, that they did not like it. They said all this would only tend to drive them away, and

they ventured, shrewdly I think, to say that their

own system had some merits, and that the system to be substituted for their own had not worked

well elsewhere--had caused typhoid fever, diph-

theria, and cholera, from which this Colony and

the neighbouring ports are free.

Well, gentlemen, it is upon such questions as these that I have been able to give to the Chinese community positive assurances to the effect that I would make no distinction between them and the other British subjects in the Colony. The mere fact of doing that which was, after all, but a negative exercise of the functions of the Govern- ment has gained for the Government the confid- ence of the Chinese community, and they have come to the Colony for the last three years in large numbers. They are settling here, buying property, and what they are doing is, no doubt, of great interest to us all.

I must say it is of interest to me as the Queen's Representative, not merely because I see Her Majesty's Chinese subjects prosperous, but because what is going on in Hongkong tends to render prosperous men of our own race from England, Ireland, and Scotland in this Colony. I rejoice, also, to see that this prosperity is shared in by the Armenians, the Parsees, and other subjects of the Empress of India; as well as by the Portuguese, the Americans, the Frenchmen, the

Germans, and the other foreigners who here enjoy the commercial advantages of an Anglo-Chinese Colony and the protection of the British flag.

My honourable friend the Attorney General has seen the West Indian Islands. He and I have seen Englishmen full of enterprise and ability there, but we have seen, too, many of them bank- rupt planters, broken-down merchants. Why? Because the native community they had to work with was not like the community of this Colony. Here you find a community industrious and temperate, with a natural aptitude for commerce. But it is not merely Chinese who are making money. The Europeans are making money also. And as we watch the transfer of business houses in this Colony, and see the Chinese trader coming closer, day by day, to the manufacturer of England, it is a deeply interesting fact to note, that, with the growing prosperity of the place, there arises a demand for British enterprise, for enterprise that

the Chinese mind, with its unrivalled trading instincts and natural commercial skill, cannot at present supply. I refer to our local Companies,

founded by Europeans. Is there any one here who can say that in any other Colony there are public Companies more prosperous than the public Companies of Hongkong ? Take them all in all, the public Companies founded by the enterprise and ability of our European merchants in this Colony, are at this moment eminently prosperous,

-our Dock Company, Sugar Companies, River

Steamer Companies, Insurance Companies, our

Gas. Company and our local European Banks.

What Eastern Company is more flourishing than

the Hongkong and Shanghai Bank? Well, the success that has attended these Companies arises, no doubt, in the first instance from the enterprise of those who originated them, but we must not forget the fact that they are worked in the midst of a Chinese community, and that it is impossible to separate the prosperity of our fellow countrymen from the prosperity of the natives of the Colony.

There is one other consideration which I may venture on this occasion to point out to you. It is this,that of all the colonies in Her Majesty's. Empire, this is, perhaps, the most interesting in what may be called the foreign policy that is forced on the Government. We are close to an extraordinary Empire. This little Colony has with the Empire of China the most intimate com- mercial relations. What should be the duty of this Colony to the Chinese ? Apart from the. general principle of doing justice to all, I have to look to the interests of England and the instruc- tions of Her Majesty on this subject, and there is no doubt, the interests of England are gravely involved in having this Colony maintain friendly relations with China. The Chinese have at the moment, and have had for many years, a great deal of internal content. And what is the con- sequence? Throughout China now, there is a development of industrial resources and a pro- duction of wealth which cannot fail to benefit the British manufacturer and British ship-owner. China is an essentially progressive nation,-~- cantious and slow, but, I say, eminently progres- sive. It is not progressive in certain respects, no doubt; for instance, not in that way one sees sometimes depicted in Punch, where children assume to lecture their parents, and where the rising generation expresses contempt for grey hairs. That is a species of progress we do not see in China. His Honour on my right will also, perhaps, have noticed in some of the commercial cases before him, that there are some practices sanctioned by our bankruptcy law in which one would be sorry to see China making progress in the sense in which the term is sometimes used in Western nations and the United States. My own experience on the subject is confirmed by the evidence printed by order of the Congress of the United States with respect to the Chinese who had gone from Hongkong to San Francisco. There I find the evidence of the Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce, a gentleman apparently of large business transactions. He speaks of having trans- actions amounting to millions of dollars with the Chinese. But what he says is, in effect, this,- "I find I can have these business transactions

"with the Chinese in San Francisco with perfect

safety. I take no bond or security from them.

Large sums of money and goods to a consider-

able amount pass. If it were a countryman of

my own or any other foreigner, I would have to

adopt a different system." In short, he says:--

蓋之

"I attribute the commercial prosperity of the "Chinese in San Francisco to their great com-

"mercial probity." Another leading American

merchant of San Francisco, in his evidence, says,-

"The Chinese pay their debts ten times more

promptly than our white men; they are clear-

headed, shrewd, intelligent, and capable of “ managing business on a large scale; this is "especially true of the hong merchants of Hong- "kong."

National characteristics such as these make China a safely progressive country, and make it the duty and interest of a trading Colony like this, and a commercial Empire like England, to be at peace with China. I would push this prin-

ciple of peace to the extent of not worrying them with advice. They will understand, in course of time, that there is something to be learned, espe-

cially in physical science, from Western nations.

But, above all, we should avoid, either in dealing with the Queen's subjects in this Colony, or in our relations with the Empire near us, any attempt to force on the Chinese institutions which are unsuited to them, and some of which we, in course of time, may, perhaps, discover are unsuited to ourselves. Those are the principles by which I

have endeavoured to guide my four years' admi-

nistration of this Colony, and now, in submitting

to you these returns, which correspond with the

period of that administration, I can only express the hope, and I do it with every confidence, that, when the next census is taken, all classes in this

Colony will be as prosperous as they are to-day.

The motion that the papers be printed was passed.

THE PENAL LAWS AMENDMENT BILL.

The GOVERNOR then moved the introduction

of the Penal Laws Amendment Bill. He said it embodied certain recommendations that he had submitted to the Secretary of State, to the effect that the Branding Ordinances, and all Ordinances imposing flogging on the Chinese race exclusively, be repealed; that public flogging and flogging Chinese on the back be abolished, and that no flogging be allowed in Hongkong except for such offences as would entail flogging in England. Her Majesty's Government had authorized the introduction of the Bill. It was read a first time and ordered to be printed. The second reading to be taken at the next meeting of Council.

FINANCE COMMITTEE.

Certain votes that had passed the finance com-

mittee were then confirmed.

His Excellency adjourned the Council sine die.

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.

REGISTRAR GENERAL'S OFFICE,

HONGKONG, 1st June, 1881.

SIR,-I have the honour to enclose the Returns of the Census which was taken on the night of the 3rd April last, in accordance with the directions of His Excellency the Governor.

The previous Census was taken on the 4th December, 1876, when the whole population numbered 139,144, shewing an increase in four years (the period that had elapsed since the Census of 1872) of 17,159; it now numbers 160,402, shewing an increase in four years and four months of 21,258.

The greater part of this increase is, of course, in the Chinese population.:

The European and American community is larger by 273, and the increase is among the British, Portuguese, Germans, and Italians, and is that of women and children. The male adult population has decreased.

All the villages, with the exception of Stanley, Aberdeen, and Little Hongkong, have added to their inhabitants.

Kau-lung has increased by 1,317, and if the Government is desirous of encouraging the settlement of population in that Dependency, the existing tenure of land leases by their extension would materially aid in that direction.

New buildings are still being erected, and 1,062 have been added since last Census, and of the 352 houses destroyed by fire in December 1878, the greater number, on being rebuilt, have been enlarged by an additional story.

I have the honour to be,

HONGKONG, 1st June, 1881.

SIR,-I have the honour to enclose the Returns of the Census which was taken on the night of the 3rd April last, in accordance with the directions of His Excellency the Governor.

The previous Census was taken on the 4th December, 1876, when the whole population numbered 139,144, shewing an increase in four years (the period that had elapsed since the Census of 1872) of 17,159; it now numbers 160,402, shewing an increase in four years and four months of 21,258.

The greater part of this increase is, of course, in the Chinese population.:

The European and American community is larger by 273, and the increase is among the British, Portuguese, Germans, and Italians, and is that of women and children. The male adult population has decreased.

All the villages, with the exception of Stanley, Aberdeen, and Little Hongkong, have added to their inhabitants.

Kau-lung has increased by 1,317, and if the Government is desirous of encouraging the settlement of population in that Dependency, the existing tenure of land leases by their extension would materially aid in that direction.

New buildings are still being erected, and 1,062 have been added since last Census, and of the 352 houses destroyed by fire in December 1878, the greater number, on being rebuilt, have been enlarged by an additional story.

OPIUM SMUGGLING FROM HONGKONG TO CHINA.

The following copies and extracts of despatches have been laid before the Legislative Council. By His Excellency's Command,

Council Chamber, Hongkong, 3rd June, 1881.

No. 32.

GOVERNOR HENNESSY, C.M.G., TO THE RIGHT HONOURABLE THE EARL OF CARNARVON.

GOVERNMENT HOUSE, HONGKONG, 11th June, 1877.

MY LORD,-Adverting to Mr. GARDINER AUSTIN's despatch No. 48 of the 14th of March, respect- ing the seizure of a Junk and its cargo in the waters of this Colony by a Chinese Revenue Cruiser, I have the honour to lay before Your Lordship copies of the correspondence and reports on the subject.

2. A few days after my arrival in Hongkong, I received a communication from the British Consul at Canton, reporting that the Viceroy had paid $200, being the estimated compensation for the loss of the Junk, and had returned 660 balls of opium, being the whole amount the Chinese Government could trace. The Consul added, that as the Viceroy had also made a full apology to the Hongkong Govern- ment for the misconduct of the Chinese subordinates (who had also been punished), he hoped the matter might be considered as settled.

3. Looking, however, to the serious character of the outrage committed, I did not feel justified in accepting less than the total quantity of opium originally claimed by this Government, and I, therefore, asked for 111 balls in addition to the 660 already received.

4. Sir BROOKE ROBERTSON, writing on the 5th of May, again urged me not to insist on getting the 111 balls of opium. In my reply, of the 12th of May, I adhered to the original demand, with a slight modification, consequent on foregoing the claim made for compensation for the loss of the Junk over and above its actual value. I, however, added that, looking to the circumstances under which I found the Junk had cleared from the Harbour of Hongkong, it was not my intention to return the value of the Junk or of the cargo to the former owner.

5. On the 2nd of June, the Consul replied that the Viceroy agreed to send to this Government the value of the 111 balls of opium, thus complying with the full demand that had been made.

6. In concluding the correspondence, the British Consul says:-" I have further to state that I "am convinced that the action His Excellency the Governor is prepared to take in cases of smuggling "from the Colony, will go far towards suppressing an evil which has heretofore entailed "Governments of both Hongkong and Canton serious difficulties and much misunderstanding."

upon the

}}

7. The action on my part to which the Consul refers, arises out of the simple enforcement of the existing law of Hongkong. The Junks that are employed in smuggling opium to the mainland, begin their operations by violating the laws of this Colony. For reasons easy to understand, such Junks prefer to leave the harbour after nightfall, and they dispense with the ordinary clearance paper or permit. In doing so, they violate Sections XIII and XIV of Ordinance No. 6 of 1866.

8. Your Lordship will see from the enclosed papers that, by his own admission, as well as by other evidence, the Master of the Junk deliberately left Hongkong Harbour after the legal hours had passed, and that he did so without the necessary permit. Though the Marine Magistrates (Mr. MAY and Mr. THOMSETT) declined to inflict a penalty, yet, as the facts were undisputed, and Section XIX of the Ordinance says:-

•

"Every Master of a Junk violating the provisions of Sections XIII and XIV shall be "imprisoned with hard labour for any period not exceeding twelve and not less than three calendar months, and such Junk and her cargo shall be forfeited to the Crown," my predecessor, in his minute of the 7th of February last, expressed the opinion that the opium should be confiscated.

456

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 11TH JUNE, 1881.

9. In his opinions, dated the 6th and 7th of February, 1877, Mr. PHILLIPPO, the Attorney Gener- al, differs from Sir ARTHUR KENNEDY, and recommends that the value of the Junk and opium should

Mr. PHILLIPPO says:— be returned to the former owners.

"The question is whether the Government should take advantage, under the circum- “stances, of the very heavy penalty imposed for omitting to obtain a port clearance. * * * "If she had obtained a port clearance before leaving Hongkong Harbour, although bound "on a smuggling expedition, she would not have been liable to forfeiture under the Ordinance. "*** I do not think such a penalty should be imposed until such transactions (smuggling

opium into China) are declared unlawful."

((

10. I am always unwilling, especially in a legal question, to differ from my Attorney General, but in this case Mr. PHILLIPPO seems to have overlooked the fact that it was not a mere unintentional omission to get a port clearance, but a deliberate violation of the Ordinance; and furthermore, he says nothing of the equally serious breach of the law committed by the Junk Master in quitting the Harbour after nightfall.

11. Nor does Mr. PHILLIPPO appear fully to realize the evil consequences to this community of the Hongkong Government allowing its own laws to be violated with impunity by these opium smugglers. Mr. CREAGH, the Acting Captain Superintendent of Police, tells me that this system has already tended to revive the practice of petty piracies, as the Junks engaged in this night smuggling hang about the Harbour week after week, and when they cannot effect. their object, take to robbery instead.

12. When, therefore, the time came for me to determine whether the value of the Junk and opium should or should not be returned to the former owner, I gave instructions that his attention should be called to the provisions of the Ordinance he had violated, and that he should be informed that the Hongkong Government would not return the value of the Junk and opium to him,

13. The proceeds have, accordingly, been paid into the Colonial Treasury. Of course, if the Master of the Junk should appeal to the Courts of Law against my decision, I shall afford him every facility for doing so.

No. 39.

GOVERNMENT HOUSE, HONGKONG, 21st June, 1877.

IY LORD,-With reference to my despatch, No. 32 of the 11th instant, reporting the policy I have adopted in cases of attempted opium smuggling in which it may be established to my satisfaction that the smuggler has violated the local Ordinance No. 6 of 1866, I have the honour to lay before Your Lordship the enclosed copy of a Petition from a Junk owner named CHAN A-YAU, a native of the province of Fokien, asking the Hongkong Government to obtain for him sixty-one packages of opium which, he alleges, were taken from his Junk outside the boundaries of the Colony, but after the Junk had been seized in Hongkong waters and towed into Chinese waters by a Chinese Revenue Cruiser.

2. Subsequent statements (copies of which are also enclosed) made by the Petitioner give a somewhat different version of the alleged outrage. Seeing that these statements appeared to disclose a deliberate breach of the Hongkong laws, I directed them to be referred to the Harbour Master, with the following minute:-

66

"Before proceeding further, refer these papers to the Harbour Master, who will be good enough to say,-1st, whether the Petitioner, according to his own statements, was complying with the laws and "regulations of the Harbour. 2ndly, what trustworthy evidence there is that, on this occasion, a "Chinese Revenue Cruiser seized or searched a Junk within the waters of this Colony."

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 11TH JUNE, 1881.

457

3. The Harbour Master's report (17th of May, 1877) is not quite accurate as to some of the facts, but he admits that the Junk Master violated the Ordinance No. 6 of 1866, and rendered himself liable to the penalties under Sections IX, XI, XIII and XIV.

4. Accordingly, I directed legal proceedings to be taken against the owner of the Junk, and instructed the Attorney General to advise as to the evidence necessary to sustain a conviction.

5. It appeared, however, that the day after the Harbour Master made his report, the Petitioner

left Hongkong with his Junk. Proceedings, therefore, could not be taken against him.

·

6. Under such circumstances, I have not thought it necessary to trouble Sir BROOKE ROBERTSON, Her Majesty's Consul at Canton, with any correspondence on the subject. CHAN A-YAU left the Colony without waiting the result of his Petition, and he did so when an enquiry into his conduct was pending.

7. Your Lordship will observe that the Harbour Master endeavours to excuse the Petitioner's violation of our laws, especially on the ground that "a conviction would only be supported by his own "admissions when seeking redress for an alleged act of Piracy committed by a Chinese Revenue "Cruiser."

8. There is, however, evidence, exclusive of his. own admissions, quite sufficient to have convicted him, had he remained to take his trial.

GOVERNMENT HOUSE, HONGKONG, 30th June, 1877.

MY LORD,-In my despatch No. 32 of the 11th of June respecting the course I have taken in dealing with opium smugglers who violate the Harbour laws of Hongkong, I remarked that the Attorney General, who was opposed to the forfeiture of the opium for what he considered a mere breach of Harbour regulations, did not seem fully to realize the consequences to this community of our allowing our own laws to be thus systematically violated.

2. On this subject, I have now the honour to lay before Your Lordship the enclosed copy of a Report from the Acting Captain Superintendent of Police, in which he describes, from a Police point of view, some of the evils of the smuggling system.

3. Mr. CREAGH says that the smuggling from Hongkong to the mainland of China of salt and opium, is carried on in vessels constructed and equipped expressly for running the blockade of Chinese Revenue Cruisers. The smuggling Junks are well armed, and sometimes offer a desperate resistance to the Chinese Government vessels. He mentions a case that occurred in November last, in which three or four of these smuggling Junks, after exchanging fire with the Chinese Government Steamer Peng-Chow-hoi, sought refuge in Hongkong Harbour, where they were refitted. He mentions that the construction and equipment of such vessels render them better suited for piratical operations than for legitimate trade, and that the class of men trained up in them cannot be expected to show much respect for the law of any country.

4. He is evidently justified in saying that, from a Police standpoint, the presence of a fleet of these vessels in the Colonial waters is by no means desirable.

458

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 11TH JUNE, 1881.

5. Believing that one of the first duties of the Executive in a Colony like this is to discourage the growth of a criminal population, I shall certainly employ all the authority the existing laws give me to put a check to this system.

6. As far as I have seen, the mere bringing into operation of clause XIX of Ordinance 6 of 1866 is already producing a good effect.

I approve of the demand made by you for the surrender of 111 balls of opium in addition to those already given up by the Chinese Government; and I have also to convey to you my approval of the course you are pursuing in respect of such smugglers as leave the harbour without complying with the Harbour Ordinance No. 6 of 1866.

I have to add, that the Marine Magistrates, Messrs.

I am of opinion that, in the circumstances of the case, they ought either to have dismissed the charge for want of evidence; or, if they were satisfied of the facts, have formally convicted the defendant, and have laid before you anything they might have wished to urge in favour of remitting the forfeiture.

An Act to provide during twelve months for the Discipline and Regulation of the Army.

[8th April 1881.]

HEREAS the raising or keeping a standing army within the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland in time of peace, unless it be with the consent of Parliament, is against law:

And whereas it is adjudged necessary by Her Majesty, and this present Parliament, that a body of forces should be continued for the safety of the United Kingdom, and the defence of the possessions of Her Majesty's Crown, and that the whole number of such forces should consist of one hundred and thirty-four thousand and sixty men, including those to be employed at the depôts in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ire- land for the training of recruits for service at home and abroad, but exclusive of the numbers actually serving within Her Majesty's Indian possessions:

And whereas it is also judged necessary for the safety of the United Kingdom, and the defence of the possessions of this realm, that a body of Royal Marine forces should be employed in Her Majesty's fleet and naval service, under the direction of the Lord High Admiral of the United Kingdom, or the Commissioners for executing the office of Lord High Admiral aforesaid:

And whereas the said marine forces may frequently be quartered or be on shore, or sent to do duty or be on board transport ships or merchant ships or vessels, or ships or vessels of Her Majesty, or other ships or vessels, or they may be under other circum- stances in which they will not be subject to the laws relating to the government of Her Majesty's forces by sea:

And whereas no man can be forejudged of life or limb, or subjected in time of peace to any kind of punishment within this realm by martial law, or in any other manner than by the judgment of his peers, and according to the known and established laws of this realm; yet nevertheless it being requisite, for the retaining all the before- mentioned forces, and other persons subject to military law, in their duty, that an exact discipline be observed, and that persons belonging to the said forces who mutiny or stir up sedition, or desert Her Majesty's service, or are guilty of crimes and offences to the prejudice of good order and military discipline, be brought to a more exemplary and speedy punishment than the usual forms of the law will allow:

And whereas the Army Discipline and Regulation Act, 1879, will expire- (a.) In the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands, and the Isle of Man, on the

thirtieth day of April one thousand eight hundred and eighty-one; and (b.) Elsewhere in Europe, inclusive of Malta, also in the West Indies and America, on the thirty-first day of July one thousand eight hundred and eighty- one; and

(c.) Elsewhere, whether within or without Her Majesty's dominions, on the thirty-

first day of December one thousand eight hundred and eighty-one ; Be it therefore enacted by the Queen's most Excellent Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, and Commons, in this present Parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:

The following Annual Report from the Superintendent of Victoria Gaol, and accompanying Returns, are published for general information.

By His Excellency's Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 8th June, 1881.

FREDERICK STEWART,

Acting Colonial Secretary.

No. 31.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 11TH JUNE, 1881.

463

VICTORIA GAOL OFFICE, .HONGKONG, 27th May, 1881.

SIR,-1. I have the honour to forward the usual Returns with regard to this gaol, for insertion in the Annual Blue Book.

The Returns are:-

I

1st,-Statistical Returns of the Prison of Hongkong for the

year 1880. 2nd,-Return showing the number of prisoners in Victoria Gaol on the last day of each

week of the year

1880. 3rd,-Return showing the classification of offences for which prisoners were committed to

Victoria Gaol from the respective Courts of the Colony during the

year 1880. 2. It is satisfactory to note that there is a total decrease of 139 prisoners, or 3.78 per cent, on the numbers admitted in 1879, which year, as I showed in my last report, itself compared favourably with previous years.

3. The year now under review can, however, compare more favourably with 1879 than at first sight appears. For, if in Return No. 3 are added up the numbers in the first twenty columns, which really contain all the more serious crimes, it will be seen there is a falling off of 367, or a little more than 18 per cent, in crimes of this nature, the numbers being,-2,033 in 1879, and 1,666 in 1880. This is highly satisfactory. In the minor offences of gambling and no pass, there has been an increase of 287, but this is in consequence of the Gambling and Pass Ordinances having been more strictly enforced. In fact, until the Gambling Commission recommended, at the commencement of last year, that the suppression of public gambling should again be entrusted to the police, the carrying out of the former Ordinance was held in abeyance.

4. My remarks last year with regard to Return No. 2, are borne out this year. For, the weekly average in 1880 is larger than that of last year, and yet a fewer number of prisoners have been admitteď. In point of fact, the passing of severe sentences on old offenders has resulted in the majority of them being delegated to residence in gaol for lengthened periods.

There can only be one opinion as to the desirability of keeping our criminal population under lock and key, although the doing so may be a permanent expense to the ratepayers; but I hold that it is the most economical way, and affords the greatest safeguard for the persons and property of the inhabitants of this Colony.

5. The gross amount realised during 1880 by the sale of the productions of prison labour, was $2,892.17; while in the five previous years, the figures were,-1879, $1,520.63; 1878, $1,720.22; 1877, $1,031.83; 1876, $1,025.88; 1875, $447.06. If, however, the gross earnings of the prison were reckoned according to the plan adopted by Her Majesty's Convict Prisons, I should have to include, the earnings of the prisoners in the capacity of "Servants, Cooks, Corridor Cleaners, Tailors, Wash- ermen, Carpenters, Bricklayers, Shoemakers," &c., &c. With the exception of oakum-picking, it is not possible to put prisoners sentenced to six months' imprisonment and under, to profitable employ- ment, and, for want of space, I am not even able to utilise the labour of all the long-sentenced prisoners to such advantage as I should wish. The amount of $2,892.17 above given, represents the earnings, therefore, of only some 150 prisoners.

6. By putting a money value, as is done at home, on the services rendered to the gaol by the labour of prisoners, I should calculate the annual earnings of the gaol as under:-

3 European Servants.....

9 Officers' Servants...

31 Servants and Cleaners..

8 Cooks.....

1 Shoemaker

4 Printers

22 Washermen

20 Tailors..

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 11TH JUNE, 1881.

7. I have delayed sending in this Report in the expectation of receiving, long ere this, copies of the Annual Reports of the Commissioners of Her Majesty's Convict Prisons, so that I could have remodelled my Return of profitable labour somewhat after the Returns supplied to Her Majesty's Government at home and laid before Parliament. These Reports have, however, not yet arrived, nor have the "Regulations for the Conduct of Convict Prisons," applied for at the same time. I have been more anxious to receive the latter than the former, as I wish to see introduced, as early as possible, into this gaol some satisfactory and self-working system for the remission of sentences, and the remuneration of industrious prisoners for their work.

8. I had the honour of laying a draft of such rules before His Excellency as far back as the commencement of 1879, but, in consequence of the impossibility of carrying them out except in a gaol modelled on the separate system, they were laid on one side to await the approval of the plans of the new gaol. Since then a new Prison Act has been introduced in England, and new regulations framed under it. This Act and its regulations I have applied for, and am anxious to obtain, so as to establish a new system of remission of sentences and remuneration of prisoners.

9. The want of means of extending assistance to deserving prisoners who seem repentant of their any "Prisoners' first fall and wish to lead a better life, if assisted at the outset, has, in the absence of

I had either to assist them myself or send them away empty, Aid Society," been much felt by me. soon to return again.

10. On Christmas Day 1879, however, I received a handsome donation from a resident of long standing in the Colony, who requested that the money be devoted to the aid of discharged prisoners. I have carried out his wishes, and, I may say, with the best results, as very few of those who have been assisted have returned to gaol a second time; but as 'the majority of those assisted have immediately left the Colony to try their fortunes elsewhere, I have been unable, according to the wish of the charitable donor, to give him any subsequent history of the recipients of his bounty. This fund is now exhausted, and I do not think we should look any longer to outside aid to reinstate it, but should establish a system of remuneration from the profits of their labour, which would serve as an incentive to the prisoners to good conduct and industry while in gaol.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient servant,

M. S. TONNOCHY, Superintendent.

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.

Council Chamber, Hongkong, 18th June, 1881.

Acting Clerk of Councils.

An Ordinance enacted by the Governor of Hong- kong, with the advice of the Legislative Council thereof, entitled the "Banishment and Condi- tional Pardons Ordinance, 1881."

BE

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.

II. Any Magistrate may lawfully arrest, or cause to be arrested, with or without warrant, any person whom he reasonably suspects to be an emissary or abettor of Her Majesty's enemies, or of pirates, or of Chinese disaffected to Her Majesty's Government, or otherwise dangerous to the peace and good order of this Colony, and safely keep him until he can be dealt with according to law.

III. Any Magistrate may cause any Chinese person 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 Chinese not finding such security shall be deemed a person dangerous to the peace of the Colony, and be liable to banishment under section 4 of this Ordinance.

IV. 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.

V. 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 under the provisions of this or any other Ordinance, and who 1871, sec. 3.] 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.

VI. 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 or recorded against him by any Court of competent juris- diction, suffer such term of imprisonment, with or without hard labour, or penal servitude, as the Governor may think fit.

VIII. Whenever it seems expedient that any prisoner convicted of any crime, and actually undergoing sentence of imprisonment should be released and banished, it shall be lawful for the Governor in Council to order such prisoner to be banished.

IX. Every convict so banished and nevertheless returning to the Colony, shall be liable, on conviction thereof before a Magistrate, to undergo the remainder of his original

sentence.

X.

The following Bill, which was read a first time at a Meeting of the Legislative Council, held on 13th instant, is published for general information.

By His Excellency's Command,

Council Chamber, Hongkong, 18th June, 1881.

An Ordinance enacted by the Governor of Hong- kong, with the advice of the Legislative Council thereof, entitled the "Companies Ordinance, 1881."

Batvice of the Legislative Council thereof, as follows:

E it enacted by the Governor of Hongkong, with the

I. This Ordinance shall not apply to Banking Companies. II. This Ordinance shall so far as is consistent with the tenor thereof be construed as one with the Companies Ordinance, 1865, the Companies Ordinance, 1866, and the Companies Ordinance, 1877, and those Ordinances together with this Ordinance may be referred to as the Companies Ordinances 1865 to 1881.

III. Subject as in this Ordinance mentioned any Com- pany registered before or after the passing of this Ordinance as an unlimited Company may register under the Companies Ordinances 1865 to 1881 as a limited Company, or any Company already registered as a limited Company may re-register under the provisions of this Ordinance.

The registration of an unlimited Company as a limited Company in pursuance of this Ordinance shall not affect or prejudice any debts, liabilities, obligations or contracts incurred or entered into by, to, with, or on behalf of such Company, prior to such registration as aforesaid, and such debts, liabilities, contracts and obligations may be enforced in manner provided by The Companies Ordinance, 1866, in the case of a Company registering in pursuance of that Ordinance or otherwise.

a

IV. An unlimited Company may by the resolution passed by the members when assenting to registration as limited Company under the Companies Ordinances 1865 to 1880, and for the purpose of such registration or otherwise increase the nominal amount of its capital by increasing the nominal amount of each of its shares.

Provided always that no part of such increased capital shall be capable of being called up, except in the event of and for the purposes of the Company being wound up.

And, in cases where no such increase of nominal capital may be resolved upon, an unlimited Company may, by such resolution as aforesaiu, provide that a portion of its uncalled capital shall not be capable of being called up except in the event of and for the purposes of the Company being wound up.

A limited Company may by a special resolution declare. that any portion of its capital which has not been already called up shall not be capable of being called up except in the event of and for the purposes of the Company being wound up, and thereupon such portion of capital shall not be capable of being called up, except in the event of and for the purpose of the Company being wound up.

V. On the registration, in pursuance of this Ordinance, of a Company which has been already registered, the Registrar shall make provision for closing the former regis- tration of the Company, and may dispense with the delivery to him of copies of any documents with copies of which he was furnished on the occasion of the registration of the Company; but, save as aforesaid, the registration of such a Company shall take place in the same manner, and have the same effect as if it were the first registration of that Company under the Companies Ordinances 1865 to 1880, and as if the provisions of the Ordinance under which the Company was previously registered and regulated had been contained in different Ordinances from those under which the Company is registered as a limited Company.

VI. A Company authorized to register under this Ordi- nance may register thereunder, and avail itself of the privileges conferred by this Ordinance, notwithstanding any provisions contained in any Ordinance, deed of settle- ment, or contract of co-partnery, constituting or regulating the Company.

VOTES AND PROCEEDINGS OF THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL OF HONGKONG.

NO. 4 OF 1881.

MONDAY, 13TH JUNE, 1881.

PRESENT:

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

The Honourable the Acting Chief Justice,-FRANCIS SNOWDEN.

The Honourable the Acting Colonial Secretary,-FREDERICK STEWART.

The Honourable the Attorney General,-EDWARD LOUGHLIN O'MALLEY. The Honourable the Acting Colonial Treasurer,-MALCOLM STRUAN TONNOCHY, The Honourable PHINEAS RYRIE.

The Honourable NG CHOY.

The Honourable FRANCIS BULKELEY JOHNson.

ABSENT:

511

The Honourable WILLIAM KESWICK, on leave.

The Honourable JOHN MACNEILE PRICE, on leave.

The Minutes of the last Meeting of Council, held on the 3rd instant, are read and confirmed. The Honourable the Acting Chief Justice, pursuant to notice, puts the following, question : "What steps has His Excellency taken, or is about to take, to give the Supreme Court the "accommodation it urgently requires ?"

His Excellency replies that the subject has already engaged the consideration of the Government, and that it will be attended to as soon as more important works, which the Acting Surveyor General has in hand, are completed.

The Honourable F. BULKELEY JOHNSON, pursuant to notice, puts the following question:

"If the attention of the Acting Surveyor General has been called to the state of the roads in the Colony, to the general want of metal upon them, and especially to the state of Queen's Road and "the Praya Eastwards."

In reply, His Excellency reads a memorandum, prepared by Mr. BoWDLER, the Acting Surveyor General, on the progress of the repairs to the roads, and remarks that, when the last Estimates were framed, the damage which has within the last few months been caused to the roads by the recently introduced Jinrickshas was not anticipated, and that it may be necessary to ask for a further vote for re-constructing some roads that had only been made for chair traffic.

66

The Honourable Member next asks :-

66

If the Acting Surveyor General can inform the Council when the Bowrington Bridge will be open to traffic."

His Excellency replies that the Acting Surveyor General says that the Bridge will be about five weeks, and explains the difficulties with which the Government had to contend, owing to open in the rains for some months, and then to the withdrawal of the several Contractors who have tendered for the work.

The Honourable Member next asks "If His Excellency can give the Council any information as "to the measures in progress for increasing the Water Supply to the City of Victoria,"

The Governor replies by reading various correspondence and minutes, since 1873, on the question of Water Supply, ending with a report, up to date, of the Acting Surveyor General, Mr. BOWDLER, showing that, since the improvement of the Water Supply, on which $47,000 had been spent in 1877 and 1878, each inhabitant of the town of Victoria receives, on an average, 14 gallons of water per day in the rainy season, and 52 in the dry season. His Excellency adds that the necessity of dealing with

the Fire-tanks scheme in connexion with the general question of the Water Supply is now before the Secretary of State, who has placed the Surveyor General in communication with Mr. RAWLINSON. His Excellency, therefore, has very little doubt that a practical scheme will soon be devised for still further increasing the Water Supply,

512

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 25TH JUNE, 1881.

His Excellency moves the second reading of the Bill entitled the "l'enal Ordinances Amendment Ordinance, 1881."

The Honourable F. BULKELEY JOHNSON, while congratulating His Excellency on having introduced this Bill, and expressing his concurrence in the abolition of branding and flogging, enquires if it is true that since the abolition of flogging the crime of ear-ring snatching had increased.

The Honourable Member also remarks that some of the Ordinances about to be repealed by this Bill were enacted in the time of the late Sir RICHARD MACDONNELL, and details at length the causes which at the time prompted the introduction of those Ordinances,

The Honourable the Acting Chief Justice expresses his views in favour of the suspension of branding and public flogging, and remarks that crime has very much decreased, especially crimes of violence, since the sentencing of prisoners to long terms of imprisonment, instead of flogging and deporting them.

His Excellency expresses his acknowledgments to the Honourable Member (Mr. BULKELEY JOHNSON) and to His Honour the Acting Chief Justice for the support they had given to this impor- tant Bill. He had no reason to believe that there had been any increase in the crime of ear-ring snatch- ing on account of his having stopped unnecessary floggings. As the Acting Chief Justice had pointed out, crime had declined, and especially crimes of violence. The severe penal laws, and the bad system this Bill would sweep away, had created and fostered a criminal class. Crime had been manufactured by branding and the lash; whereas a more rational system had now reduced crime. The report just laid on the table of the Superintendent of the Gaol, for 1880, showed that the number of admissions to the Hongkong Gaol had steadily declined from 1877 to the end of last year; that is, during the period when, in the exercise of his prerogative, he suspended branding and public flogging, and gradually reduced the number of floggings, till, of late, not one was inflicted. He was bound to say that Mr. TONNOCHY, by reforming the discipline of the Gaol, contributed to this result. The changes ordered by the Government in 1878 in Police administration, which had also worked well, would not have been practicable but for the first-rate condition into which Governor Sir ARTHUR KENNEDY had brought the personnel of the Force.

The Bill is then read a second time.

At the request of the Honourable the Attorney General, the going into Committee on the Bill is postponed until next meeting,

The second reading of the "Banishment and Conditional Pardons meeting.

The following Bills are read a first time:-

“An Ordinance for the Naturalization of Fung Ming-shán.”

"An Ordinance for the Naturalization of Wong Shé-tái." "An Ordinance for the Naturalization of Shi Shang-kái." "An Ordinance for the Naturalization of Páng Im." "An Ordinance for the Naturalization of Ip Him-kwong," "An Ordinance for the Naturalization of Ün Man-ts'oi.”

"The Companies Ordinance, 1881,"

Second reading to be taken at the next meeting.

71

Bill is postponed until next

The Honourable F. BULKELEY JOHNSON asks for leave to introduce a Bill for the construction of Tramways in the Colony. He explains the details and advantages of the measure, and the general principles on which it is based.

The Honourable P. RYRIE supports the motion.

The Honourable the Attorney General moves that the introduction of the Bill be postponed, to admit of the proper formalities being observed.

His Excellency reads the Governor's Instructions and the Standing Orders of the Council on the subject, and observes that the Bill should be published in the Gazette for a certain time before it can be introduced. Without pledging the Government to support the Bill, His Excellency expresses his cordial concurrence in the general principles laid down by the Honourable Member (Mr. BULKELEY JOHNSON).

Permission is also asked by the Honourable NG CHOY for the introduction, at a future date, of a Tramway Bill on behalf of another Company.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 25т¤ JUNE, 1881.

The Honourable the Acting Chief Justice moves, pursuant to notice,—

513

"That the repeal, amendment, and consolidation of a large number of the Ordinances in force in "this Colony has become a work of urgent necessity, and should be undertaken without delay, and "that His Excellency be requested to take such steps as he may be advised with a view to carry out a revision of the Ordinances in these respects, and to the publication of a revised Edition as soon as "possible."

46

The Honourable the Attorney General says that he concurs with His Honour, but thinks it is a proposition that should emanate from the Executive, and not from the Chief Justice.

His Honour replies that he was not aware of it; but he nevertheless hopes some steps towards this end will soon be taken.

The Governor says he is indebted to the Honourable the Acting Chief Justice for the valuable suggestions he had made. Some time ago His Excellency had placed the matter in the hands of the Attorney General, and steps would soon be taken to revise and consolidate the Ordinances.

His Excellency adjourns the Council at 5.10 P.M. sine die.

Read and confirmed this 24th day of June, 1881.

No. 31.

RACE DISTINCTION IN CITY HALL MUSEUM RULES.

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

GOVERNMENT HOUSE, HONGKONG, 5th April, 1881.

MY LORD, I have the honour to enclose a letter from Mr. KESWICK, dated the 31st ultimo, but. not received by me till some days later, stating why the present Committee of the City Hall decline to accede to the wish of Her Majesty's Government that the race distinction, begun in 1875, should be abolished in the rules of admission to the Museum of the City Hall, on which so much money of the ratepayers generally has been laid out since 1869.

2. Mr. KESWICK states that he has already communicated a copy of his letter to Your Lordship direct.

3. I also enclose a copy of the Acting Colonial Secretary's letter of the 5th of February, 1881, transmitting Your Lordship's decision, and stating that if the City Hall Committee eliminate the race distinction, I should be happy to give them a grant for 1881.

4. I cannot vouch for the complete accuracy of the letter Mr. KESWICK now addresses to Your Lordship, but I am unwilling to criticise it or to discuss the matter any further, being content with the opinion unanimously expressed by my Executive Council, and by every member of the Legislative Council (with the exception of Mr. KESWICK), when the impropriety of this anti-Chinese notice was fully debated.

DOWNING STREET,

25th May, 1881.

SIR,-I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your despatch No. 31 of the 5th of April last, forwarding a Memorial from Mr. KESWICK respecting the City Hall Museum.

I request you to inform Mr. KESWICK that his Memorial has been received and considered, but that I see no reason to alter the decision arrived at in my despatch No. 91 of the 22nd December last, which has already been communicated to him, namely, that I cannot sanction the continued expenditure of public money on any institution of the kind in which any distinction is made among the different ratepayers in the rules of admission; although I should not object to admission alternately free and by payment.

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

THE EARL OF KIMBERLEY.

GOVERNMENT HOUSE. HONGKONG, 9th April, 1881.

MY LORD, I have the honor to report that, with the advice and consent of the Executive Council, I have granted four months' vacation leave and two months' leave of absence on half salary to the Chief Justice, Sir JOHN SMALE, in accordance with the Colonial Regulation 135, it being His Honor's intention to apply for pension on retiring after twenty years' service and I enclose the usual certificate for Your Lordship's confirmation.

:

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 9TH JULY, 1881.

555

2. As on a former occasion, provision has been made for the due execution of the office of the Chief Justice by the appointment of Mr. Justice SNOWDEN. On the advice of the Executive Council, I have informed Sir JOHN SMALE that if it be necessary within the first two months of the vacation leave for me to appoint an Acting Puisne Judge, it is my intention to do so; and as to the second two months, it is understood that half salary of the Chief Justice will be available for the remuneration of Mr. SNOWDEN, leaving Mr. SNOWDEN'S half salary available for an Acting Puisne Judge.

3. In reporting the Chief Justice's retirement, I beg leave to convey to Your Lordship my sense of the very valuable services the Government have received for twenty years from Sir JOHN SMALE.

4. During the four years that I have had charge of this Government, I have found it necessary to make some changes in the penal legislation of Hongkong, in the treatment of criminals and the minor administration of the law, and to issue a Commission of Enquiry into certain offices of the Supreme Court, but I have found Sir JOHN SMALE in all these matters, as well as on every other subject in which either as a Judge or a member of the Legislative Council he has had dealings with the Government, work in entire harmony with me.

5. I have also very great satisfaction in laying before Your Lordship the unanimous expression. of the members of the Bar, and the cordial testimony borne by the Community, to Sir JOHN SMALE'S high reputation for integrity, unflagging zeal, and ability, and for his admirable conduct of the Judi- cial work of this Colony for so many years.

I have, &c.,

In acknowledging the receipt of your despatch, and in conveying to you my approval of the leave of absence which you have granted to Sir JOHN SMALE (which will exhaust the full amount of leave to which he is entitled, including the six beneficial months), I have to express to you the satisfaction with which I have received the testimony borne by yourself and the members of the Colonial Bar to the manner in which Sir JOHN SMALE has discharged the duties of the high office from which he is now retiring.

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 23rd July, 1881.

No. 1161.

621

FREDERICK STEWART,

Acting Colonial Secretary.

COLONIAL SECRETARY'S OFFICE,

HONGKONG, 22nd June, 1881.

SIR,-Having laid before Governor Sir JOHN POPE HENNESSY your telegram of the 20th of April, I was directed by His Excellency to telegraph in reply, that the information you required would be transmitted to you, and that His Excellency's Government was carefully watching the Chinese Emi- gration to Australia.

2. You wish to know under what auspices the Chinese Emigrants are leaving China for Australia. An answer to that question is to some extent furnished by the printed papers I have the honour to transmit herewith, relating to the Chinese Emigrants that went to Sydney and other Australian ports in the Glamis Castle.

3. Before signing the licence, the Governor called for an independent examination in addition to the statutory examination of the Emigration Officer. You will observe that the examination of a few of the proposed Emigrants by Dr. EITEL, the Acting Chinese Secretary, was a very searching one. The Governor is of opinion that the facts elicited by Dr. EITEL, as well as those obtained by the Acting Registrar General and myself, may be taken as applying generally to the class of Chinese Emigrants proceeding from Hongkong to Australia.

4. His Excellency desires me to enclose, for your information, a copy of the local Ordinances which, with the Imperial Act 18 and 19 Vic., Cap. 104, prescribe and limit the Governor's

powers in this matter of Chinese Emigration. The printed papers relating to the case of the Glamis Castle will enable you to see how the Emigration Ordinances are worked. The enclosed correspondence of the year 1878 relating to the S. S. Mecca, and of 1880 relating to the S. S. Meath, may also be of interest to the New South Wales Government.*

5. I have the honour to enclose a list of the steamers that left this Colony for Australia with Chinese Emigrants or passengers since the 1st of January this year, and a list of those at present announced to sail for Sydney.

The Honourable

THE COLONIAL SECRETARY,

SYDNEY,

New South Wales.

I have, &c.,

FREDERICK STEwart,

Acting Colonial Secretary.

EXTRACT FROM REPORT RY THE ACTING COLONIAL SECRETARY AND ACTING REGISTRAR GENERAL.

In compliance with His Excellency's instructions conveyed in his Minute of the 25th instant, the Acting Colonial Secretary and the Acting Registrar General met this morning, at 9 o'clock, at the Harbour Office, as arranged yesterday with the Emigration Officer.

When the Emigration Officer had satisfied himself, we asked such questions as we thought ne- cessary. In this way, we examined ten men, occupying two hours in so doing. We annex notes of the evidence, from which we satisfied ourselves that, if the emigrants were not free and under no contract of service, it would be impossible for us to show that they were not. Under these circum- stances, we thought we had sufficiently carried out our instructions, and were preparing to leave, when His Excellency's Minute of the 26th instant was received. This was shown to the Emigration Officer, who was also informed that it would be communicated to him in the usual official way.

EXTRACT FROM REPORT BY DR. EITEL.

I have the honour to report that, on returning to the Harbour Master's Office and finding that Dr. STEWART and Mr. GERRARD had left, I asked permission of the Emigration Officer to put to a few The Emigration Officer allowed me to put all of the men the questions detailed on enclosed sheet. the questions, sent also for all the witnesses I required to test the statements of the emigrants, and I examined in this way 4 emigrants, whose replies to the questions I put I append in extenso. Taking these 4 men as a sample of the whole, I am convinced that the vast majority would, on strict exami- nation, be found to be men utterly unable to pay the passage money themselves, but who, whilst being perfectly free and willing emigrants, have had the passage money advanced to them by Chinese firms, and will have to repay the money with interest within 18 months after arrival in Australia.

The very appearance of the men,-shoeless, stockingless, indicated the class of labouring men who live from hand to mouth, and from the experience I have had of these classes in China, I am induced to believe that the idea of these men having paid their passage with their own money is utterly improbable.

MINUTE BY HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVErnor.

Refer all these papers to the Emigration Officer, who will make his observations upon them when he has finished his own examination, made by him with a view of ascertaining whether all the emi- grants in the list he laid before me are really free and under no contract of service whatever.

MINUTE BY THE EMIGRATION OFFICER.

Report herewith.

H. G. THOMSETT.

28th April, 1881.

THE HARBOUR MASTER AND EMIGRATION OFFICER TO THE ACTING COLONIAL SECRETARY. HARBOUR DEPARTMENT, No. 131.

HONGKONG, 28th April, 1881,

pas- SIR,-I have the honour to report that I have examined 839 Chinese emigrants, intended sengers by the British steamer Glamis Castle, as to whether they are free, and under no contract of service whatever; and I find that they are free and under no contract of service whatever,

A considerable number of the emigrants have been in Sydney before.

One man only out of the List, No. 408, admitted that he had a written agreement in the form of a card. This man's name, WONG TIN KIU, has been taken off the list as being under contract.

I have read the reports by the Acting Colonial Secretary and the Acting Registrar General, the Captain Superintendent of Police, and Dr. EITEL, sent for my perusal by order of His Excellency the Governor.

The joint report of the former concludes with the words "if the emigrants were not free and "under no contract of service, it would be impossible for us to show that they were not," seems satis- factorily to dispose of their opinion.

The report of the Captain Superintendent of Police, obtained through a trustworthy detective Sergeant of Police, introduced into the crowd of emigrants, is to the effect, that the majority of the emigrants have raised their passage money by a mortgage on their property, while others have borrowed money on the understanding that they are to repay it at the rate of two dollars for one, when they are able to afford it; it is added that these men are their own masters and are not under contract, except so far as concerns the repayment of the loans.

This report is equally satisfactory, as although there is a loan, there is no contract of service to make the repayment binding.

Dr. EITEL's opinion is that he is convinced that the vast majority of the emigrants would, on strict examination, be found to be men utterly unable to pay the passage money themselves, but who, whilst being perfectly free and willing emigrants, have had the passage money advanced to them by Chinese firms, and will repay the money with interest 18 months after arrival in Australia. Dr. EITEL may or may not be right in his conclusions, but as he does not express any opinion as to whether the transaction of borrowing and repaying is a Contract of service, I presume he is unable to satisfy his mind on the point.

As regards the men being shoeless, and stockingless, that is the natural condition of Chinese labourers; but had Dr. EITEL looked at the fingers of some of the Glamis Castle emigrants he would have seen them wearing gold rings. I have seen numbers of Chinese, returning from Australia and 'America with large sums of money in their possession, land in a similar condition,

The Honourable FREDERICK STEWART, LL.D.,

Acting Colonial Secretary.

MINUTE BY HISS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR,

I observe that out of the four alleged free emigrants examined by Dr. EITEL, Captain THOMSETL now admits that one was under contract, and that his name has been taken off the list by the Emigration Officer. Holding Captain THOMSETT responsible for the examination of the remaining eight hundred and thirty five, I have signed the licence.

CONGRATULATORY ADDRESS BY THE CHINESE

PEOPLE, GENTRY AND MERCHANTS

OF THE WHOLE COLONY.

From of old, the essential element of good gov-

ernment consists in securing the affections of the

people whilst maintaining dignity.

Since the arrival of our Governor, Sir JOHN

POPE HENNESSY, in this Colony, it is now, if we

reckon it up one by one, exactly four years on this day. Going back in thought over the past,

we feel a strong desire to speak out and give vent to the feelings which all along inspired us with confidence and hope. Tracing back to its fountain-head the constituent principle of Sir JOHN

POPE HENNESSY's government, we find strict justice and clear impartiality, felicitous benevo- Those influ- lence and tenacious earnestness.

who settled here, whilst that humane kindness watched over all the people. His multifarious

labours in removing oppression and fostering

loyalty, and all the other measures of his effective

government, are too numerous to count up.

There is none among us. Chinese who does not

reverently look up to him as one of the bright

spirits; there is none who does not love him as one loves one's parents. The last four years

have passed as if they had been but a day.

Now venturing to advert briefly to a few of his measures, there is the grant of a public place

for the interment of deserted human remains, and

the donation he made, from his private purse, of over one thousand one hundred dollars, in per-

manent commemoration whereof a tablet has

been placed by us in the mausoleum built by

him. Thus goodness experienced by the living,

has extended its influence also to the bones of the

dead. All that live and breathe join in one

voice in expressing their obligations for this act.. The Tung-wá Hospital had an office for vac-

cination, but patients stricken with small-pox and

seeking to be cured had no secluded ward to be

received in; wherefore he expressly granted a

piece of ground for this special purpose, which

was an act of merciful consideration for infants and highly meritorious protection of youthful lives.

His Excellency is designated by us as the merciful prince, and lauded by all far and near as such.

The practice of kidnapping was extremely extensive, and victims once fallen into the trap were engulfed in an ocean of misery. But our Governor, prompted by sympathy and commis- eration for those victims, established the So- ciety for the Protection of Women and Children, to extend to them a saving hand, and thus his kindness is exhibited to the destitute and forlorn and his favour is shown to the women and children.

The tablet of His Excellency's fame is exhib- ited in the streets, and multitudes proclaim it with one voice.

The Chinese inhabitants of Hongkong who reside here, trusting to the protection of his government, number not far below two hundred thousand, and yet they have no meeting hall to promote the extension of their commerce, but His Excellency expressly moved Her Majesty's Gov- ernment to give them a piece of ground and a grant for the purpose of the proposed building, which act of protection and pacification is a matter of justice, prompted by a desire to tran- quillize the people, to include all in one view of humane kindness, and to allow no distinctions of race or nationality.

The foregoing statement, explicit as it is, falls yet short of recounting one thousandth part of His Excellency the Governor's deep humanity and powerful liberality. Moreover, in these four years, whatever there was of advantage was sure to be promoted by him to its minute detail. Our Chinese people, who have been drinking- in his gentleness and feeding on his goodness, have silently experienced his educating influence beyond measure, and tranquilly enjoyed the shadow of his protection above all limit.

rejoice and exult in demonstrative pleasure, all looking upon the fact of our having this worthy Governor for the pastor of our people as the great happiness of our nation.

so that we may permanently enjoy his over-

shadowing and protecting influence, and rejoice beyond conception.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 30TH JULY, 1881.

Sir JOHN POPE HENNESSY thanked the depu-

tation for their congratulations and good wishes,

but as to the great prosperity of the Colony, he

felt it was due far more to the merchants, bankers

and shopkeepers he saw in the deputation, than to any labours of his own. No doubt, within

the last four years the value of property had increased, the population had been augmented,

two thousand new houses had been built, and whilst the inhabitants of the City of Victoria

became more numerous, both by births and by immigration from the Kwang-tung province,

crime had diminished. But this was owing to the industry of the people, to their loyal and orderly disposition, and perhaps to some extent also to the practical advice he himself had received from time to time from those competent to give it as to the best mode of governing a Chinese community.

Her Majesty's Government had recognized this also in dealing with one of the subjects the depu- tation had mentioned,-that of kidnapping. Much had been done of late years to detect and punish this crime; and in 1879, Chief. Justice Sir JOHN

SMALE made a public utterance on the subject which deservedly attracted great attention, His Honour very frankly remarking that he was sorry he had not noticed the matter before. But before the Chief Justice had noticed the evil in question,

the gentleman who had introduced the deputation,

and other gentlemen present, had drawn the attention of the Government to it.

His Excellency then read, the following extract from a despatch of the Earl of KIMBERLEY on the subject, dated Downing Street, 20th May, 1880:-

“ With regard to kidnapping, the provisions of “ the local law (Ordinance 4 of 1865 and 2 of “1875) ought to be sufficiently stringent, but "it appears that, the practice being on the “increase, certain Chinese gentlemen in Novem- · “ber 1878 asked permission to form themselves "into an Association for its prevention, and that a "Committee appointed by you to enquire into "the subject suggested that the petitioners should "form themselves into a Company for the

purpose

under the 'Companies Ordinance, 1865'. I re-

quest that you will at once thank these Chinese

gentlemen for their offers of assistance in re- pressing this form of crime, and that you will "allow them to form themselves into an Asso- ciation of whatever kind they desire. But in "order to obtain official recognition, its rules and "organization should be made known to and approved by the Colonial Government. You will, of course, give them such assistance as you 'may find practicable, and especially you will "instruct the Police to co-operate with them in "bringing to justice all offenders whom they may “ succeed in tracing. If the Association as at "first organized should be found insufficient, it "will be time then to consider what other steps * should be taken,”

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 30TH JULY, 1881.

The wisdom of Lord KIMBERLEY'S decision was to be seen in the fact that a considerable number of the kidnappers punished for the last twelve months had been detected and brought to justice

by this Association of Chinese gentlemen. He might also remind them that in passing his Ordi- nance No. 2 of 1875, Governor Sir ARTHUR KENNEDY had mentioned that he had introduced it at the solicitation of the leading members of the Chinese community.

His Excellency said that they were equally deserving of the thanks of the Government in another matter to which their address referred,— It

the establishment of a small-pox hospital. was true he had given them a little land, or, more properly speaking, he had given them per- mission to excavate from the side of the hill near the Tung-wá Hospital, and to build on the site so formed a small-pox hospital, but they had

formed this site and were erecting the building

by means of their own voluntary subscriptions. Furthermore, they maintained at their own cost a most efficient staff of native vaccinators, who

travelled through the Island and along the adjoin-

ing coast, and to whose incessant labours His Excellency attributed the remarkable freedom of this Colony from the ravages of small-pox, in spite of the fact that we were exposed every year to the visits of many vessels more or less infected. Such useful labours, as well as those to which the Earl of KIMRERLEY referred, were not the only administrative functions which Her Majes-

ty's Chinese subjects had shown themselves ca-

pable of discharging. In fact, in everything relating to the well-being of the Colony, he was glad, at all times, to receive their counsel and co-operation.

The deputation then withdrew.

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

GOVERNMENT HOUSE, HONGKONG, 12th April, 1881.

MY LORD,-I enclose for Your Lordship's information a copy of a letter of the 9th instant from Mr. WILLIAM KESWICK, transmitting to the Acting Colonial Secretary a resolution of the Hongkong Chamber of Commerce requesting me to license Chinese emigration from Hongkong to Honolulu.

2. In reply, Mr. KESWICK has been informed, as Your Lordship will observe from the enclosed letter of 12th April, 1881, that I adhere to the decision conveyed in the Colonial Secretary's letter to Messrs. JARDINE, MATHESON & Co. on the 30th of January, 1879, namely, that I cannot sanction any Chinese emigration involving contracts of service to the Sandwich Islands.

3. I take this opportunity of transmitting to Your Lordship some spare copies of correspondence respecting emigration to Honolulu that I caused to be published for general information in December last.

4. I would venture to submit for Your Lordship's consideration whether the rule laid down by the EARL OF CARNARVON respecting contract emigration might not be relaxed respecting the passage tickets to Honolulu, as the Chinese are undoubtedly so well treated by the Hawaiian Government.

The Chamber desire to point out to His Excellency that, so far as information on the subject is possessed by its members, the treatment of Chinese in the Hawaiian Islands is in every respect con- siderate and entirely free from the objectionable features that brought emigration to other countries into just disfavour, and that Chinese in Honolulu acquire wealth and influence and have protection as fully accorded them as the other inhabitants of the country.

660

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 30TH JULY, 1881.

Emigration from Canton is proceeding with the sanction of the Chinese Authorities, but, it is to be feared, under less strict regulations for the protection and welfare of the emigrants during the passage than if they embarked at this port, and the Chamber would suggest that the conveyance of passengers, which was formerly allowed from this Colony, should, in the protection of emigrants, be again permitted.

COLONIAL SECRETARY'S OFFICE,

HONGKONG, 12th April, 1881.

SIR,-I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 9th instant, enclosing a resolution of the Chamber of Commerce memorializing the Governor to withdraw the restrictions on the emigration of Chinese to Honolulu.

2. In reply, I am to refer you to the correspondence published for general information in the Government Gazette on the 11th of December, 1880.

3. In that correspondence you will observe a letter addressed by Mr. MAY, Acting Colonial Secretary, on the 30th of January, 1879, to Messrs. JARDINE, MATHESON & Co., informing them, in reply to their application to send Chinese to Honolulu and Peru in the S. S. Perusia, that the Governor could not sanction any Chinese emigration involving contracts of service to the Sandwich Islands.

4. I am also to invite the attention of the Chamber of Commerce to my letter of the 24th of November, 1880, respecting Mr. KOOPMANSCHAP'S application for the Governor's licence for Chinese emigration to Honolulu. In that letter I said:" Governor Sir JOHN POPE HENNESSY desires me to "state, in reply, that he will be very happy to consider in Council any application of the kind, under "the Imperial Emigration Act and the Emigration Ordinances of this Colony." No further application was, however, made on the subject; and Mr. KoOPMANSCHAP admitted that the Chinese emigration to Honolulu was emigration under contract of service.

5. Rule 4 of the printed Rules issued for the last six years by the Emigration Officer respecting Chinese emigration says:-" Emigration under contract of service is prohibited, unless the ship shall "be proceeding to a British Colony." That particular rule was framed under instructions from Her Majesty's Government, and those instructions are still in force. I am to repeat what His Excellency has so often said on this subject, that the Governor would be happy to consider any application for sending Chinese to Honolulu, provided such emigration was not under contract of service.

I have, &c.,

HONGKONG, 27th January, 1879.

SIR, AS Agents for the Belgian steamer Perusia, now lying in this Harbour, we venture to address you upon the subject of the conveyance by the said steamer of Chinese Passengers from Hongkong to Honolulu and Peru, with the object of your laying the matter before His Excellency the Governor.

2. We are given to understand that a very considerable number of well-to-do Chinese, chiefly of the shop-keeping and trading class, are desirous of proceeding both to Honolulu and Peru.

They are people who would in no way be proceeding to either place under contract or in con- nection with any system of immigration, but in all respects Free Passengers.

3. We would therefore submit for the consideration of His Excellency, that travelling facilities, such as could be offered by the Perusia for this class of Chinese, might be afforded them, subject to such Regulations and conditions as His Excellency may consider it necessary to enforce.

We have, &c.,

GENTLEMEN,-I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 27th instant on the subject of the conveyance of Chinese Passengers from Hongkong to Honolulu and Peru in the Belgic steamer Perusia.

2. You state that the conveyance of these Chinese to Honolulu and Peru would not be in con- nection with any system of immigration, and you ask that the travelling facilities offered by the Perusia may be permitted, subject to such Regulations and conditions as His Excellency the Governor may consider it necessary to enforce.

3. In reply, I am to inform you that His Excellency will be prepared to consider in Council the details of any application you may think proper to make, subject to the provisions of the Imperial Act relating to Chinese Passengers, and to the Ordinances of this Colony.

4. I need hardly remind you that His Excellency has already explained in the Legislative Council that he cannot sanction any Chinese emigration whatever to Peru, nor any Chinese emigration involving contracts of service to the Sandwich Islands.

DOWNING STREET, HONGKONG, 9th June, 1881.

SIR,-I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your despatch, marked "Emigration," of the 12th of April last, transmitting a copy of a letter addressed by the Chairman of the Hongkong Cham- ber of Commerce to the Acting Colonial Secretary under your Government, containing a resolution of that Body memorializing you to withdraw the restrictions on Chinese emigration from Hongkong to Honolulu, with your reply, and copies of correspondence which you have caused to be published in relation to this subject.

With reference to the concluding paragraph of your despatch, I have to remind you that the question of contract emigration to foreign countries from Hongkong, or in British vessels from Chinese ports, has been fully considered, and that my predecessors have declined, for reasons in which I concur, to sanction such emigration. Under these circumstances, I am not prepared to relax this rule in favour of Honolulu.

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

GOVERNMENT HOUSE, HONGKONG, 7th March, 1881.

MY LORD,-With reference to my despatch No. 17 of the 1st March, 1881, enclosing Bishop BURDON'S appeal for a donation of $1,000 to the Hongkong Public School, I have the honour to lay before Your Lordship a copy of a letter I observe in the local papers from Bishop BURDON, thanking Mr. BELILIOS for a donation of $2,000 towards the support of the School.

2. Bishop BURDON is right in saying that it is not the first time Mr. BELILIOS has come forward to assist the Educational work of Hongkong. In 1879 he generously endowed certain scholarships at the Central School and St. Joseph's College, and a scholarship for the medical training of the Hongkong Chinese. I have the honour to lay before Your Lordship some printed papers on this subject.

3. Indeed, no individual in the history of this Colony has done so much for the interests of Education here as Mr. BELILIOS.

NOTICE.

I

It is hereby notified, that the Ships conveying Chinese Passengers under the provisions of Ordinance No. 5 of 1874, will not be allowed to carry them on the Upper or Weather Deck between

the 1st of June and the 15th of October, inclusive.

Hongkong, 7th May. 1881.

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.

M. S. TONNOCHY, Acting Colonial Secretary.

HER BRITANNIC MAJESTY'S AGENCY, BANGKOK, July 12th, 1881.

SIR,-It is my duty to report that some days since an epidemic of cholera, apparently brought down from Burmah via the Menam Valley, appeared in Bangkok, and at one time threatened to become serious. It is, however, at present on the decline, and is chiefly confined to soldiers, prisoners and natives from the outlying districts. As the few cases in which it has affected Europeans have been distinctly traced to the incautious use of river water for drink, it might be as well if some cautions were addressed to the Masters and crews of vessels bound to this port, who had better come provided with the neces- sary supplies for drink.

I have the honour to be,

Your Excellency's obedient servant,

W. GIFFORD PALGRAVE.

SIR, I am directed by EARL GRANVILLE to state to you, for the information of the EARL OF KIMBERLEY, that an Order in Council was passed on the 18th instant for carrying into effect the Treaty for the mutual surrender of Fugitive Criminals, signed at Berne on the 26th of November, 1880, between Great Britain and Switzerland.

The Order in Council was published in the London Gazette of the 20th instant, of which I am to enclose copies; and I am to add that the Treaty will come into operation in this country on the 30th instant, in conformity with the stipulation contained in Article XIX.

The Under Secretary of State,

Whereas by the Extradition Acts of 1870 and 1873, it was amongst other things enacted, that where an arrangement has been made with any foreign State with respect to the surrender to such State of any fugitive criminals, Her Majesty may, by Order in Council, direct that the said Acts shall apply in the case of such foreign State; and that Her Majesty may, by the same or any subsequent Order, limit the operation of the Order, and restrict the same to fugitive criminals who are in or suspected of being in the part of Her Majesty's dominions specified in the Order, and render the operation thereof subject to such conditions, exceptions, and qualifications as may be deemed expedient: And whereas a Treaty was concluded on the twenty-sixth day of November, one thousand eight hundred and eighty, between Her Majesty and the Swiss Federal Council, for the Mutual Extradition of Fugitive Criminals, which Treaty is in the terms following:-

Her Majesty the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and the Swiss Federal Council having judged it expedient, with a view to the better administration of justice, and to the prevention of crime within their respective territories and jurisdictions, that persons charged with, or convicted of, the crimes hereinafter enumerated, and being fugitives from justice, should, under certain circumstances, be reciprocally delivered up, have named as their Plenipotentiaries to conclude a Treaty for this purpose, that is to say:

•

676

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 30TH JULY, 1881.

And the Swiss Federal Council, its Vice-President, F. Anderwert, Federal Councillor and Chief of the Federal Department of Justice and Police;

In the event of the Federal Council being unable, by reason of his Swiss nationality, to grant the extradition of an individual, who after having committed in the United Kingdom one of the crimes or offences enumerated in Article II, should have taken refuge in Switzerland, the Federal Council engages to give legal effect to and prosecute the charge against him according to the laws of the Canton of his origin; and the Government of the United Kingdom engages to communicate to the Federal Council all documents, depositions, and proofs relating to the case, and to cause the commis- sions of examination directed by the Swiss Judge, and transmitted through the proper Diplomatic channel, to be executed gratuitously.

ARTICLE II.

The crimes for which the extradition is to be granted are the following:-

1. Murder (including infanticide) and attempt to murder.

2. Manslaughter.

3. Counterfeiting or altering money, uttering or bringing into circulation counterfeit or altered

money.

4. Forgery, or counterfeiting, or altering, or uttering what is forged, or counterfeited, or altered comprehending the crimes designated in the Penal Codes of both States as counterfeiting or falsifica- tion of paper money, bank notes, or other securities, forgery, or falsification of other public or private documents, likewise the uttering or bringing into circulation, or wilfully using such counterfeited, forged, or falsified papers.

5. Embezzlement or larceny.

6. Obtaining money or goods by false pretences.

7. Crimes against bankruptcy law.

8. Fraud committed by a baillie, banker, agent, factor, trustee, or director, or member or public officer of any Company made criminal by any law for the time being in force.

A fugitive criminal may be apprehended in either country under a warrant issued by any Magistrate, Justice of the Peace, or other competent authority, on such information or complaint, and such evidence, or after such proceedings as would, in the opinion of the authority issuing the warrant, justify the issue of a warrant if the crime had been committed or the person convicted in that part of the dominions of the two Contracting Parties in which the Magistrate, Justice of the Peace, or other competent authority exercises jurisdiction: provided, however, that, in the United Kingdom, the accused shall, in such case, be sent as speedily as possible before a Police Magistrate in London.

Requisitions for provisional arrest may be addressed by post or by telegraph, provided they pur- port to be sent by some judicial or other competent authority. Such requisitions must contain a description in general terms of the crime or offence, and a statement that a warrant has been granted for the arrest of the criminal, and that his extradition will be demanded.

GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 30TH JULY, 1881.

677

He shall, in accordance with this Article, be discharged, as well in the United Kingdom as in Switzerland, if within the term of thirty days a requisition for extradition shall not have been made by the Diplomatic Agent of the country claiming his surrender in accordance with the stipulations of this Treaty.

ARTICLE IV.

The requisition for extradition must always be made by the way of diplomacy, and to wit, in Switzerland by the British Minister to the President of the Confederation, and in the United Kingdom to the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs by the Swiss Consul-General in London, who, for the purposes of this Treaty, is hereby recognized by Her Majesty as a Diplomatic Representative of Switzerland.

ARTICLE V.

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

(a.) In the case of a person accused-

The requisition for the surrender shall be made to Her Britannic Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs by the Diplomatic Representative of the Swiss Confederation. The said demand shall be accompanied by a warrant of arrest, or other equivalent judicial document, issued by a Judge or Magistrate duly authorized to take cognizance of the acts charged against the accused in Switzerland, and duly authenticated depositions or statements taken on oath, or solemnly declared to be true, before such Judge or Magistrate, clearly setting forth the said acts, and containing a descrip- tion of the person claimed, and any particulars which may serve to identify him.

The said Principal Secretary of State shall transmit such documents to Her Britannic Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for the Home Department, who shall then, by order under his hand and seal, signify to some Police Magistrate in London that such requisition has been made, and require him, if there be due cause; to issue his warrant for the apprehension of the fugitive. On the receipt of such order from the Secretary of State, and on the production of such evidence as would, in the opinion of the Magistrate, justify the issue of the warrant if the crime had been committed in the United Kingdom, he shall issue his warrant accordingly.

pro-

When the person claimed shall have been apprehended, he shall be brought before the Magistrate who issued the warrant, or some other Police Magistrate in London. If the evidence to be then duced shall be such as to justify, according to the law of England, the committal for trial of the pris- oner, if the crime of which he is accused had been committed in the United Kingdom, the Police Magistrate shall commit him to prison to await the warrant of the Secretary of State for his surrender; sending immediately to the Secretary of State a certificate of the committal and a report upon the case. After the expiration of a period from the committal of the prisoner, which shall never be less than fifteen days, the Secretary of State shall, by order under his hand and seal, order the fugitive criminal to be sent to such seaport town as shall, in each special case, be selected for his delivery to the Swiss Government.

(b.) In the case of a person convicted---

The course of proceeding shall be the same as in the case of a person accused, except that the warrant to be transmitted by the Diplomatic Representative of Switzerland in support of his requisition shall clearly set forth the crime or offence of which the person claimed has been convicted, and state the place and date of his conviction.

The evidence to be produced shall consist of the penal sentence passed against the convicted person by the competent Court of the State claiming his extradition.

(c.) Persons convicted by judgment in default or arrêt de contumace shall be, in the matter of extradition, considered as persons accused, and may, as such, be surrendered.

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

ARTICLE VI.

In Switzerland the manner of proceeding shall be as follows:-

The requisition for the extradition of an accused person must be accompanied by an authentic copy of the warrant of arrest, issued by a competent official or Magistrate, clearly setting forth the crime or offence of which he is accused, together with a properly legalized information setting forth the facts and evidence upon which the warrant was granted.

If the requisition relates to a person already convicted, it must be accompanied by an authentic copy of the sentence or conviction, setting forth the crime or offence of which he has been convicted.

The requisition must also be accompanied by a description of the person claimed, and if it be possible, by other information and particulars which may serve to identify him.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 30TH JULY, 1881.

After having examined these documents, the Swiss Federal Council shall communicate them to may be the Cantonal Government in whose territory the person charged is found in order that he examined by a judicial or police officer on the subject of their contents.

The Cantonal Government will transmit the procès-verbal of the examination, together with all the documents, accompanied, if there be one, by a more detailed report to the Federal Council, who, after having examined them, and there be no opposition on either side, will grant the extradition, and will communicate its decision both to the British Legation and to the Cantonal Government in question, to the latter in order that it may send the person to be surrendered to such place on the frontier, and deliver him to such foreign police authority as the British Legation may name in each special case.

Should the documents furnished with a view of proving the facts, or of establishing the identity of the accused, or the particulars collected by the Swiss authorities appear insufficient, notice shall be immediately given to the Diplomatic Representative of Great Britain, in order that he may furnish further evidence. If such further evidence be not furnished within fifteen days the person arrested shall be set at liberty.

In the event of the application of this Treaty being contested, the Swiss Federal Council will transmit the documents ("dossier ") to the Swiss Federal Tribunal, whose duty is to decide definitely the question whether extradition should be granted or refused.

The Federal Council will communicate the judgment of the Federal Tribunal to the British Legation. If this judgment grants the extradition the Federal Council will order its execution, as in the case when the Federal Council itself grants the extradition. If, on the other hand, the Federal Tribunal refuses the extradition, the Federal Council will immediately order the person accused to be set at liberty.

ARTICLE VII.

In the examinations which they have to make in accordance with the foregoing stipulations, the authorities of the State applied to shall admit as entirely valid evidence the depositions or statements of witnesses, either sworn or solemnly declared to be true, taken in the other State, or copies thereof, and likewise the warrants and sentences issued therein, or copies thereof, provided such documents purport to be signed or certified by a Judge, Magistrate, or officer of such State, and are authenticated by the official seal of a British Secretary of State, or of the Chancellor of the Swiss Confederation, being affixed thereto.

The personal attendance of witnesses can be required only to establish the identity of the person who is being proceeded against with that of the person arrested.

ARTICLE VIII.

If proof sufficient to warrant the extradition be not furnished within two months from the day of the apprehension, the person arrested shall be discharged from custody.

ARTICLE IX.

In cases where it may be necessary, the Swiss Government shall be represented at the English Courts by the Law Officers of the Crown, and the English Government in the Swiss Courts by the competent Swiss authorities.

The respective Governments will give the necessary assistance within their territories to the Representatives of the other State who claim their intervention for the custody and security of the persons subject to extradition.

No claim for the repayment of expenses for the assistance mentioned in this Article shall be made by either of the Contracting Parties.

ARTICLE X.

The present Treaty shall apply to crimes and offences committed prior to the signature of the Treaty; but a person surrendered shall not be tried for any crime or offence committed in the other country before the extradition other than the crime for which his surrender has been granted.

ARTICLE XI.

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

ARTICLE XII.

The extradition shall not take place if, subsequently to the commission of the crime, or the insti- tution of the penal prosecution, or the conviction thereon, exemption from prosecution or punishment has been acquired according to the laws of the State applied to.

ARTICLE XIII.

The extradition shall not take place if the person claimed on the part of the Government of the United Kingdom, or the person claimed on the part of the Swiss Government, has already been tried and discharged or punished, or is still under trial, in one of the Swiss Cantons or in the United Kingdom respectively, for the crime for which his extradition is demanded.

ARTICLE XIV.

If the person claimed on the part of the Government of the United Kingdom, or if the person claimed on the part of the Swiss Government, should be under examination, or have been condemned

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 30TH JUYL, 1881.

679

for

any other crime, in one of the Swiss Cantons or in the United Kingdom respectively, his extradi- tion may be deferred until he shall have been set at liberty in due course of law.

In case such individual should be proceeded against in the country in which he has taken refuge, on account of obligations contracted towards private individuals, his extradition' shall, nevertheless, take place; the injured party retaining his right to prosecute his claims before the competent authority. ARTICLE XV.

W

If the individual claimed by one of the two High Contracting Parties in pursuance of the present Treaty should be also claimed by one or several other Powers, on account of other crimes or offences committed upon their respective territories, his extradition shall be granted to that State whose demand is earliest in date.

ARTICLE XVI.

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

This delivery shall take place even when the extradition, after having been granted, cannot be carried out by reason of the escape or death of the individual claimed, unless the claims of third parties with regard to the above-mentioned articles render such delivery inexpedient.

ARTICLE XVII.

The contracting parties renounce any claim for the reimbursement of the expenses incurred by them in the arrest and maintenance of the person to be surrendered, and his conveyance to the frontiers of the State to which the requisition is made; they reciprocally agree to bear such expenses themselves.

ARTICLE XVIII.

The stipulations of the present Treaty shall be applicable to the Colonies and foreign possessions of Her Britannic Majesty.

The requisition for the surrender of a fugitive criminal who has taken refuge in any of such Colonies or foreign possessions, shall be made to the Governor or to the supreme authority of such Colony or possession through the Swiss Consul residing there, or, in case there should be no Swiss Consul, through the recognized Consular Agent of another State charged with the Swiss interests in the Colony or possession in question.

The Governor or supreme authority above-mentioned shall decide with regard to such requisitions as nearly as possible in accordance with the provisions of the present Treaty. He will, however, be at liberty either to consent to the extradition or report the case to his Government.

་

Her Britannic Majesty shall, however, be at liberty to make special arrangements in the British Colonies and foreign possessions for the surrender of such individuals as shall have committed in Switzerland any of the crimes hereinbefore mentioned, who may take refuge within such Colonies and foreign possessions, on the basis, as nearly as may be, of the provisions of the present Treaty.

The requisition for the surrender of a fugitive criminal from any Colony or foreign possession of Her Britannic Majesty shall be governed by the rules laid down in the preceding Articles of the present Treaty.

ARTICLE XIX.

The present Treaty shall come into force ten days after its publication in conformity with the forms prescribed by the laws of the High Contracting Parties.

After the Treaty shall have come into force, the Treaty concluded between the High Contracting Parties on the 31st of March, 1874, shall be considered as cancelled, except as to any proceedings that may have been already taken or commenced in virtue thereof.

It may be terminated by either of the High Contracting Parties, on giving to the other Party six months' notice of its intention to terminate the same, but no such notice shall exceed the period of

one year.

The Treaty shall be ratified, and the ratifications shall be exchanged at Berne as soon as possible. In witness whereof the respective Plenipotentiaries have signed the same, and have affixed there- to the seal of their arms.

Done at Berne, the twenty-sixth day of November, in the year of our Lord One thousand eight hundred and eighty.

(L.S.) C. VIVIAN. (L.S.) ANDERWERT.

And whereas the ratifications of the said Treaty were exchanged at Berne on the fifteenth day of March, one thousand eight hundred and eighty-one.

Now, therefore, Her Majesty, by and with the advice of Her Privy Council, and in virtue of the authority committed to Her by the said recited Acts, doth order, and it is hereby ordered, that from and after the thirtieth day of May, one thousand eight hundred and eighty-one, the said Acts shall apply in the case of the said Treaty with the Swiss Federal Council.

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

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.

SIR,-I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your despatch No. 48 of the 29th of April last, and to confirm the suspension of Mr. SENNA from his post of Steward of the Civil Hospital.

I concur in your opinion that the non-execution of Mr. SENNA'S bond discloses some reprehensible carelessness on the part of the authorities responsible for such matters.

H. B. MAJESTY'S ACTING CONSUL, KIUNG-CHOW TO COLONIAL SECRETARY, HONGKONG.

H. B. MAJESTY'S CONSULATE,

KIUNG-CHOW, 15th August, 1881.

SIR,-I beg to report that, during the last few weeks, cholera has made its appearance in this town and the neighbourhood. Dr. ALDRIDGE, the Customs Medical Officer, attended one case which he declares to have been undoubted Asiatic cholera, and it is reported that six or seven people die daily of it.

The first appearance of the disease was almost coincident with the arrival of the S. S. Consolation here, which vessel brought a large number of passengers from Bangkok.

I cannot obtain satisfactory information as to whether the epidemic is increasing or not, but from reports, I gather that the number of deaths per diem is pretty constant.

THE COLONIAL SECRETARY,

Section 25, by striking out the words "in the next issue of" and adding the words "as soon

The proposition is put to the vote and carried unanimously.

The Honourable P. RYRIE seconds the motion, but does not altogether share in the Honourable Member's views, and says that Agents of vessels would be able to understand the term "Contract of Service" if they carefully studied the Emigration Laws of the Colony.

The Governor replies and consents to the motion as amended, which is as follows:-

"That there be laid on the table the Imperial Act of 1855, for the Regulation of Chinese Passenger Ships, together with the Ordinances now in force, Proclamations and Regulations under it, with copies or extracts of any correspondence or documents bearing on the subject of Contract Emigration.'

The Governor replies.

Batvicect the Legislative Council thereof, as follows:

E it enacted by the Governor of Hongkong, with the

I. This Ordinance shall not apply to Banking Companies.

II. This Ordinance shall so far as is consistent with the tenor thereof be construed as one with the Companies Ordinance, 1865, the Companies Ordinance, 1866, and the Companies Ordinance, 1877, and those Ordinances together with this Ordinance may be referred to as the Companies Ordinances 1865 to 1881.

III. Subject as in this Ordinance mentioned any Com- pany registered before or after the passing of this Ordinance as an unlimited Company may register under the Companies Ordinances 1865 to 1881 as a limited Company, or any Company already registered as a limited Company may re-register under the provisions of this Ordinance.

The registration of an unlimited Company as a limited Company in pursuance of this Ordinance shall not affect or prejudice any debts, liabilities, obligations or contracts incurred or entered into by, to, with, or on behalf of such Company, prior to such registration as aforesaid, and such debts, liabilities, contracts and obligations may be enforced in manner provided by The Companies Ordinance, 1866, in the case of a Company registering in pursuance of that Ordinance or otherwise.

IV. An unlimited Company may by the resolution passed by the members when assenting to registration as limited Company under the Companies Ordinances 1865 to 1880, and for the purpose of such registration or otherwise increase the nominal amount of its capital by increasing the nominal amount of each of its shares.

Provided that no part of such increased capital shall be capable of being called up, except in the event of and for the purposes of the Company being wound up.

And, in cases where no such increase of nominal capital may be resolved upon, an unlimited Company may, by such resolution as aforesaid, provide that a portion of its uncalled capital shall not be capable of being called up except in the event of and for the purposes of the Company being wound up.

A limited Company may by a special resolution declare that any portion of its capital which has not been already called up shall not be capable of being called up except in the event of and for the purposes of the Company being wound up, and thereupon such portion of capital shall not be capable of being called up, except in the event of and for the purpose of the Company being wound up.

V. On the registration, in pursuance of this Ordinance, of a Company which has been already registered,' the Registrar shall make provision for closing the former regis- tration of the Company, and may dispense with the delivery to him of copies of any documents with copies of which he was furnished on the occasion of the registration of the Company; but, save as aforesaid, the registration of such a Company shall take place in the same manner, and have the same effect as if it were the first registration of that Company under the Companies Ordinances 1865 to 1880, and as if the provisions of the Ordinance under which the Company was previously registered and regulated had been contained in different Ordinances from those under which the Company is registered as a limited Company.

VI. A Company authorized to register under this Ordi- nance may register thereunder, and avail itself of the privileges conferred by this Ordinance, notwithstanding any provisions contained in any Ordinance, deed of settle- ment, or contract of co-partnery, constituting or regulating the Company.

SURVEYOR GENERAL'S OFFICE, 14th April, 1881.

SIR,—With reference to the Observatory proposed to be erected on Mount Elgin in the Kau-lung peninsula, and for the construction of which a sum of $10,000 has been provided in the Colonial Esti- mates for the current year, I have, with a view to the preparation of the plans, specification and esti- any information mate for its erection, searched the records of this Office, but have not been able to find as to the accommodation to be provided in the proposed Building. I have the honour, therefore, to request the instructions of His Excellency the Governor as to the nature of the work to be undertaken in the Observatory and the accommodation to be provided therein.

1. Will the Buildings be limited to, and used only for, giving the correct time, and for dropping a Time-Ball? Or is the Building to include within its walls accommodation for a complete system of Meteorological and Astronomical Observations, in addition to the above?

2. Are quarters for the Observer and his staff to be provided in the same building, or are they to be postponed, and separate and detached buildings erected for their accommodation from time to time as they may be required?

3. Is a Magnetic observatory to be included in the general scheme? This would have to be a separate and distinct building, constructed under ground at some distance from the other Observatory.

I have the honour to be,

To the Honourable

The Acting Surveyor General entirely agrees with the statements in Major PALMER's report.

SIR,-As was arranged between us when you were good enough to call upon me on the 17th of May, to consult me about the Observatory proposed to be established in Hongkong, I have written the accompanying Report, which contains my views on the whole subject. If you concur with this report, as a broad exposition of the purposes which such an institution should be made to subserve, as well as of the scope which should be given to it and the main features of construction, I would suggest that it be forwarded to the Colonial Secretary, for the information of His Excellency the Governor, with any separate remarks that you may wish to make.

If His Excellency approve of the scheme, I shall be very glad to help in preparing the detailed plans, and to advise generally as to further procedure in the matter.

On examining the papers which relate to this subject, I find that, in September, 1879, Sir MICHAEL HICKS-BEACH, then Secretary of State for the Colonies, forwarded, for the consideration of His Excellency the Governor, the following letter which he had received from Dr. WARREN DE LA RUE, Vice-Chairman of the Kew Committee of the Royal Society:

"I am instructed by the Kew Committee of the Royal Society to request that you will bring to "the notice of the Right Honourable the Secretary of State the favourable position occupied by the "Colony of Hongkong for certain physical observations, especially with regard to the typhoons of the "China seas, on meteorology generally, and on terrestrial magnetism, with a view to a communication "to Governor POPE HENNESSY, and of an effort to induce the Government of that Colony to support "for a limited term of years an Observatory provided with self-recording instruments.

66

"Her Majesty's Government have already shown so warm an interest in the promotion of physical research, in connection with the Observatory of Mauritius, that it is hardly necessary for the Kew "Committee to do more than point out to you the extreme importance of obtaining accurate records of "the Magnetic and Meteorological conditions of the China seas.

"Our knowledge of these facts is, at present, but scanty. The existing Observatories at which "continuous observations are taken on the Eastern Coast of Asia and the adjacent islands are-Batavia, "lat. 6 deg. 11 min. S., long. 106 deg. 40 min. E., supported by Holland. Manila, lat. 14 deg. 53 "min. N., long. 120 deg. 52 min. E., Society of Jesus. Zi Ka Wei (Shanghai), lat. 31 deg. 13 min. "N., long. 121 deg. 27 min. E., Society of Jesus. Peking, lat. 39 deg. 53 min. N., long. 116 deg. 29 "min. E., the Russian Embassy.

((

Hongkong lat. 22 deg. 15 min. N., long. 114 deg. 12 min. E., which divides the distance "between Manila and Zi Ka Wei, would form a most valuable addition to the above list.

66

"The India Office have recently reconstituted the Meteorological system of Hindostan on a very extensive scale, and the Committee beg to forward herewith a letter from Mr. BLANFORD, the chief "of that organization, in which he states very clearly the great advantages which would accrue, especially to Meteorology, from such a measure as the establishment of an Observatory at Hongkong.

"The Committee estimate the cost of instrumental outfit at about £1,000.

66

"The expenses of maintenance for chemicals and illumination (Gas or Paraffin) would amount "in this country to about £100 a year.

"The Committee would therefore venture to hope that the Colonial Office will be pleased to forward this suggestion to the proper quarter, with such recommendations on the subject as they are "led to anticipate from the interest in the promotion of Science so frequently evinced by your

Department, and which Governor POPE HENNESSY is so well qualified to appreciate.".

Mr. BLANFORD, who is Meteorological Reporter to the Government of India, stated, in the letter above referred to,

"The results of the Meteorological system established by the Government of India have now "demonstrated the fact that the monsoons of India are distinct in origin and goal from those of the

China seas.

Each region is characterized by features peculiar to it, and we have now accumulated "a large amount of data relating to the Indian Monsoons which will receive a great extension so soon as the nautical logs now in course of extraction and tabulation in the London Meteorological Office shall be available for discussion. But, in the case of the China seas, our information is but little A first-class "advanced beyond the stage to which it was carried by Dové and Piddington.

observatory has indeed been established by the Jesuit Fathers at Shanghai, and another is now in "course of equipment at Manila. But much more than this is required for the study of the China Monsoons; and the proposed observatory at Hongkong will be a most valuable addition to the system."

In his reply to the Secretary of State, dated 20th November, 1879, Governor POPE HENNESSY wrote,

"I have read with much interest Dr. WARREN DE LA RUE's letter enclosed in your despatch No. 105, of September last, suggesting on behalf of the Royal Society the establishment of an Observatory "in this Colony, more especially with reference to Meteorology and Terrestrial Magnetism. As you were good enough to say that I might consider this question when bringing the Finances of the Colony before you, I have done so, and I venture earnestly to support Dr. DE LA RUE's suggestions, "on local as well as on Imperial grounds.

"Two years ago, in the first Estimates I prepared in Hongkong, I took the liberty of including "a sum of $5,000 for an Observatory and Time Ball. Further consideration has convinced me that. "in addition to what may be necessary for securing an accurate Time Ball, we ought to have in this Colony a thoroughly efficient means of recording such physical observations as Dr. DE LA RUE refers to. Furthermore, the clearness of the atmosphere at certain seasons would admit of a valuable record "being made of sun-spots. Incidentally, such questions as the tides and the varying temperature in "the seas surrounding Hongkong, the remarkable disintegration of the granite, which can be noticed "almost from day to day in the island and in British Kowloon, and certain extremely slight, but not "unfrequently occurring, earthquake phenomena, would probably be deserving also of the attention of

competent observers.

"If, therefore, you will approve of my doing so, I shall be glad to submit to the Finance "Committee a vote of ten thousand dollars for a general scientific Observatory. I believe that such a "vote would be cheerfully supported by the majority of the Legislative Council, and that there would "be no difficulty in including it in a supplementary Estimate for 1880.

It appears, therefore, that, in the proposal to establish this Observatory, three chief objects are aimed at, namely,-

To determine the Local Time by astronomical observations, and drop a Time-Ball daily.

To obtain series of Meteorological observations with instruments of the best kinds, and to acquire information relating to the Typhoons and Monsoons of the China sea.

To obtain series of observations in Terrestrial Magnetism, also with the best modern apparatus. I proceed to deal with these subjects, separately, in the above order.

I.-Local Time.

The main purpose in dropping a Time-Ball is to enable the masters of the numerous sea-going vessels which come to Hongkong to ascertain the errors and rates of their standard time-keepers, without having recourse, as at present, to the practice of sending their chronometers ashore to be rated by the local watchmakers. Though this latter expedient is well known to be both clumsy and unsafe, yet, in ports not provided with a time-ball, it is practically the only one available to masters of merchant vessels, few of whom have the knowledge or leisure for the somewhat troublesome alternative of taking their own time-observations on shore with an artificial horizon and a hack chronometer. On the other hand, the errors and rates derivable from a time-ball accurately dropped are not only obtained with very little trouble, but are of vastly greater value than those which depend on any process that involves the movement of chronometers.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 3RD SEPTEMBER, 1881.

It follows that the Observatory determinations of time should be made and published with scientific precision, and be such as to command public confidence. They should supply the mariner with data in which, whether bound on a short run through the seas of these regions, or on a long ocean voyage, he may implicitly trust. In short, the working of the establishment ought to be made worthy of the grave interests involved, and of the requirements of one of the busiest shipping ports in the world.

In order to satisfy the above conditions, it will be necessary to provide the following instruments and apparatus :--

(1). A Transit Instrument, of not less than three inches' clear aperture and about three feet focal length, constructed for fixing upon stone axis-piers, supplied with two setting-circles, and complete with the best modern fittings and auxiliary apparatus, spare webs, &c. The transit-threads in this instrument should be suited for chronographic observations. There is no necessity at present, in my opinion, to go to the expense of purchasing a transit-circle. Axis-piers, of Portland stone, may be furnished with the instrument.

(2). A Sidereal Standard Clock, geared to break an electrical circuit at every second, excepting one

second in each minute and two consecutive seconds at every fifth minute.

(3). A Chronographic register, on Bond's principle, with a cylinder about twelve inches long and six or seven inches in diameter, driven by clock-work, and fitted for registering (1) sidereal seconds from the standard clock, (2) transit-signals from the observer at the instrument: and complete with all electrical and other apparatus and gear for these purposes, including a signal-key for the observer, glass scale for reading the record, and spare springs for the

spring-governor. (4). A Mean Solar Clock, fitted with contact-springs for discharging a time-ball automatically at a fixed instant by the clock each day. I recommend that this instant be made that of Local Mean Noon. Noon is a much more convenient time than one o'clock for ship-captains ge- nerally, and it is the hour to which all navigators refer their calculations. This clock should also be fitted with springs for sending a signal at ten o'clock daily. The necessity for such a signal is very likely to arise in the course of time.

The automatic dropping of a time-ball, or sending of a time-signal, on the arrival of the hands of a clock at a certain position necessitates the condition that the clock shall be right at that time. If it be not right, the time-ball or signal will obviously exhibit an error equal to that of the clock. The clock, therefore, must be fitted with apparatus by which minute errors, to fractions of a second, may be corrected, and the clock set perfectly right beforehand. down This can be effected by sending an electric current through a galvanic coil placed beneath the pendulum, which, by its action on a slender bar-magnet carried on the pendulum, imparts either an impulse or a check, according to the nature of the current sent through the coil, and thus accelerates or retards the stroke of the pendulum. This is done for such time (ascertainable by experiment) as may be needed in order to effect the required correction. A commutating apparatus serves for sending the proper current through the coil. Another method, the invention of Mr. SANG, C.E., consists of a mechanical arrangement by which the effective length of the pendulum may be diminished or increased by a minute amount, and the stroke thereby slightly quickened or retarded, for such interval as may be necessary in order to correct the error. One or the other of these contrivances should be fitted to the mean solar clock.

When the error of the standard sidereal clock has been computed from observations of stars, it is necessary to compare that clock with the mean-time clock, and then to calculate the error of the latter on mean solar time, in order that it may be set right as above explained. If the clocks are in different rooms, and cannot be compared directly with one another, it is necessary to employ hack chronometers. Or else, which is simpler and more accurate, to have in the same room with the solar clock a chronometer regulated electrically by the sidereal clock, and beating in unison with it. At Greenwich, there are two chronometers on a desk in one of the offices, one regulated by the solar clock, the other by the sidereal clock; and, as the commutating apparatus for correcting the mean solar clock is on the same desk, the whole operation of computing, comparing and correcting is done on one spot, by a single individual, in the shortest time possible. I think, however, that, by putting our chro- nograph into the same room with the mean solar clock, we may dispense with all of these devices. It will then only be necessary to place the chronograph in circuit with the sidereal clock, when the click of the armature or movements of the pencil on the former, taken in connexion with the beats of the mean solar clock, will furnish means for sufficiently accurate comparison.

(5). A Time-Ball and apparatus, complete, with electro-magnetic mechanism for dropping the ball at the instant of noon by the mean solar clock, and sending a return signal to the Obser- vatory: also the usual air-apparatus or springs for checking its fall. Provision must be made for connecting the clock and time-ball together by an underground telegraph line, the con- ducting wire of which should be of large gauge. This cable may be laid in earthenware pipes, and the line must be efficiently guarded by "lightning-protectors."

(6). A pair of Chronometers, one rated to sidereal and the other to mean solar time, will be re-

quired, for general use and for emergencies.

(7). A Collimating telescope-or a telescope with cross-threads in the focus, but a plain glass cap instead of an eye-piece at the eye end-should be supplied, and metal supports for it to rest in. This instrument is more convenient for collimating than the Bohnenberger eye-piece, and the distant mark cannot always be counted on for the purpose, as its apparent steadiness is liable to be affected by surface radiation.

(8). Distant meridian-mark. This may be made of a sheet of iron, say two feet by three feet, firmly attached to the face of a small brick pier at some distance either to the north or the south of the transit-instrument, painted with a fine cross, and pierced at the intersection of the cross for illumination at night. It can be provided locally. The hole should be of such a size that the light from a reflecting lamp placed behind it, in a receptacle in the pier, may be seen in the instrument like a star of the sixth magnitude. Or a gas-jet and reflector would serve instead of a lamp. At a distance of one mile, the hole should be about 0.3 inch in diameter. It is well to place the mark approximately horizontal with respect to the instrument. For an Observatory at Kau-lung, it would be convenient to fix the meridian-mark in Hongkong.

L

The above list includes all the apparatus that is necessary for time-determinations and the time- ball. It also comprises means for an excellent telegraphic determination of the longitude of the transit- instrument, by connexion with a fixed observatory, say that of Madras. With the cooperation of the Telegraph Company, which would pretty certainly be forthcoming, I see no reason to doubt that Madras time could be transmitted to Hongkong if an assistant with a chronometer were stationed at Singapore, to repeat the signals; and, vice versâ, that Hongkong time could be transmitted to Madras. From this double process,

the longitude may be determined with high precision, and at no cost except that of connect- ing the Observatory, by the nearest line of telegraph, with the Central Office in Queen's Road, and sending an assistant for a few days to Singapore. The importance of such determinations, especially as aids to marine cartography, can hardly be overstated, for it is certain that a very large proportion of the hitherto accepted longitudes, dependent on observations of the Moon or on chronometric meridian distances, are seriously incorrect. Even at a place so near to Greenwich as Lisbon, the longitude was found only two With its longitude determined accurately by the telegraphic years ago to be more than two miles in error. process, the Hongkong Observatory would furnish a fundamental meridian for these seas, and marine charts would, or ought to, be brought into conformity with its exact position as thus ascertained.

I should recommend some special provision for ascertaining the latitude of the Observatory, if it were not that Lieutenant-Commander GREEN, U.S.N., cómmanding the United States' surveying-vessel Palos, is already in these seas, engaged in the special task of determining true positions by the best modern methods, for purposes chiefly of marine cartography. In this branch of work, which has been neglected hitherto by our Admiralty, the United States' hydrographers have already made great and valuable progress in many parts of the world. It was Lieutenant-Commander GREEN who detected the error of the Lisbon longitude above referred to; and I have no doubt that; when he comes here, he will determine the latitude of some point in the Colony with considerable accuracy. He will also ascertain our longitude, as one station in a series comprising Nagasaki, Yokohama, Shanghai, Amoy, Hongkong, Manila, Saigon and Singapore, connected at one end with Vladivostok (the longitude of which has of late been accurately re-determined by telegraph from St. Petersburg), and at the other end with Madras. This, however, will not do away with the advisability of a repetition of the longi- tude determination as suggested in the previous paragraph, especially as such repetition will involve only a trifling outlay.

:

Of the above apparatus, I recommend that the transit-instrument and collimator be ordered from Messrs. TROUGHTON & SIMMS; the time-ball, chronograph, clocks and chronometers from Messrs. DENT, of the Strand. I have no exact knowledge of the cost of a time-ball, but I estimate that the rest of the equipment, as described above, should be procurable for about £500, and that a complete time-ball apparatus should not cost more than £400.

Site. I have examined the site which has been proposed, at Mount Elgin, on the Kau-lung Peninsula. The chief feature is a flat, gravelly hill-top, roughly circular, and some 200 feet in diameter. There is a smaller eminence, of corresponding height, about 400 feet to the west of it. The former of these is clearly the place for the principal building. It is at a suitable altitude (100 feet above the sea) and sufficiently roomy, commands a fair sky view, and fulfils generally the requirements. of an observatory site. The second eminence would, as Mr. BOWDLER has suggested, answer very well for the chief magnetic building.

Although for a time-ball, which must be visible by all the shipping, a site at Kau-lung would seem to be preferable to any other, on account of its central position and commanding view of the entire harbour, there are obvious reasons why it might be better, if possible, to have the Observatory on Hongkong itself. Unfortunately, however, the site and neighbourhood of Victoria are not available for such a purpose, as the heights which rise so steeply behind the city shut from view a large section of southern sky, extending up to 25° of altitude. This objection applies generally to sites on the north

•

805

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 3RD SEPTEMBER, 1881. side of the island. A site in many respects suitable might be chosen on the west side, in the neigh- bourhood of Pok-fú-lam, but this would have the disadvantage of being a long way from town, and at a somewhat inconvenient altitude. Another drawback which it would possess, and which, indeed, holds. good as to sites generally in the island, is that the attraction of the abrupt adjacent hill-masses would undoubtedly affect the spirit-levels of the instruments, a point not to be overlooked when choosing a site for an observatory that may hereafter attain scientific importance.

On the whole, therefore, I concur in the Surveyor-General's opinion that Mount Elgin affords the best available site for the Observatory. From that point, the Hongkong hills in the south shut out no more than 4° or 5° of sky, and Victoria Peak itself has an elevation of only about 7°.

The Time-Ball might be erected on any commanding point which fulfils the indispensable condition of being well seen from end to end of the harbour. Certain conditional rights, the exact scope of which I have not been able to ascertain, are held by the War Department over the plot of land, partly occupied by the Tsim-shá-tsui Police Station, which seems the natural place for the time-ball mast. The War Department also hold the high ground of the southeastern promontory. I understand that the Police Station will shortly be moved a little further back on the plateau which it now occupies, so as to clear the War Department limits. The best plan, in that case, will be to let the small building and mast for the Time-Ball be made an adjunct to the Police Station. The ball should be a large one, eight or nine feet in diameter, and be painted with broad bands of white and bright red.

Building. The building for the Observatory must contain a general office and computing room, an office for the Director, a room for the mean solar clock, chronograph, batteries, &c., and on either side a wing room, one for the transit-instrument and sidereal clock, the other for the additional apparatus, such, for example, as Seismic instruments, which is pretty certain to be procured before very long. I propose also to provide a small room for the Electrograph, which will be referred to farther on. I have added, at Mr. BOWDLER'S suggestion, an upper storey, to be appropriated as quarters for the Director. I recommend that the building be constructed of red bricks, the walls of the lower storey being made 1 ft. 9 in. thick, and those of the upper storey 1 ft. 2 in. thick. The rooms should be 15 feet high, from floor to ceiling, and the roof be made as flat as possible, in order that it be utilised for some of the meteorological apparatus. Especial care must be given to protection of the building against lightning, for which purpose one conductor should be placed at each angle of the main block, and the points carried at last eight feet above the parapet, the earth ends being sunk below ground until permanently damp soil is reached.

may

In laying out the building on the ground, it will be important to obtain accurate orientation, for which purpose I suggest that Polaris be observed with a theodolite at one of its culminations, and a meridian line carefully marked at the observation. The transit-room will need vertical shutters about two feet wide, opening in the north and south walls from a height of four feet above the floor, and extending to the roof; also roof-doors of the same width, so that there may be a clear view of the meridian from the south to the north horizon. The collimator may be placed on a brick pier about fifteen feet to the north of the transit-room, a small room or hut six or seven feet square being built over it, for protection from the weather. It should be approximately horizontal with respect to the transit-instrument.

*

Piers, isolated from contact with the surrounding soil or any parts of the building, will be needed for the transit-instrument, the electrograph, the collimator, and each of the two clocks. These should be built of red bricks, in cement, and be carried down to firm ground, at a depth of not less than four feet in any case, there resting on good foundations of cement concrete. The largest will be those for the transit-instrument and electrograph, which may measure about six feet by three feet. For the clocks the dimensions will be very much smaller. All of them had better be left unfinished at the floor-level until the instruments and clocks arrive.

A building on a plan somewhat as shown in the accompanying tracing will probably answer as well as any for the present purposes of the Observatory. Lest it be thought that the space provided is somewhat more liberal than is necessary, it may be well to bear in mind the great heat of the summer weather, as well as the facts that ample room will be needed for presses for stores, stationery, records, &c., and that the requirements as to space in an establishment of this kind are certain to grow year by year. If at a future time it should be decided to increase the equipment, the east and west wings could be extended so as to accommodate a Photoheliograph for the record of sun-spots; as suggested by His Excellency the Governor, and an Equatorial telescope. It would be necessary, in this case, to raise the equatorial sufficiently high to obviate any serious interruption of the sky view by the upper storey of the main block; and, for architectural symmetry, the photoheliograph might be similarly raised. But, if a Siderostat in connexion with a fixed telescope should be preferred for gazing purposes to an equatorially mounted instrument, no such elevation would be needed. A building of the kind above suggested would probably cost, with piers, &c., about $10,500, to which $500 must be added for furniture and fitments. A small additional building, to contain quarters for a caretaker, servant and coolies, with a store, workshop, kitchen and other offices, and connected with the main edifice by a covered way, would cost say $2,400 more. Both of them may be at once designed in detail, and proceeded with, should the scheme here proposed receive the approval of the Government.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 3RD SEPTEMBER, 1881.

II. Meteorology.

The proposal to establish a meteorological branch of the observatory, under skilled management In the first place, and supplied with the best modern apparatus, commands approval for two reasons. as Dr. DE LA RUE has indicated, such an institution will furnish the science with valuable and much needed data, from a locality well suited for the observation and collection of facts appertaining to certain phenomena of special interest. Secondly, it cannot fail to have a direct and practical value, as being the means of affording security, by its predictions and weather warnings, to life and property, in seas navigated by vast numbers of native and foreign vessels, but subject during four or five months of the year to rotatory storms of appalling violence and danger.

Its operations, like its purpose, will be twofold. There will be, to begin with, the systematic observation and record of the ordinary phenomena of pressure, temperature, humidity, rain, sunshine, wind and hydrometeors, such as are usual in observatories of the first order; together also with observations of atmospheric electricity.

So lately as last February, Dr. WARREN DE LA RUE furnished the Colonial Office with a list of the instruments necessary for these purposes in a first-class meteorological observatory. The list comprises a Barograph, a Thermograph, an Anemograph, a Rain-gauge, a Sunshine Recorder, and an Electrograph; together costing about £397.

Of these, the Barograph, or self-recording barometer, will be accommodated in the Magnetic basement, to be presently described.

For the Thermograph-i. e., self-registering (photographic) dry and wet bulb thermometers-a special hut and shed will have to be put up in the grounds of the observatory. This may, however, be left until the instruments arrive. The Thermograph, it will be observed, does away with the. necessity for maximum and minimum thermometers, as the changes of temperature are recorded unceasingly.

The Anemograph, or self-recording Anemometer, is an instrument the best and newest forms of which are constructed to register continuously the direction, pressure and velocity of the wind. We are not told by Dr. DE LA RUE what kind will be sent. A small turret, to carry the vane, &c., for the instrument, of whatever pattern, may be erected centrally over the front verandah roof of the main building, and the spindle be carried through the roof to the registering apparatus placed in a small chamber or compartment on the upper verandah, as shown in the drawing. The turret must be provided with a lightning conductor,

The Rain-gauge, to judge from the high price (£60) set against it in the list, is doubtless a self- recording instrument, or pluviograph. At Greenwich, an Osler's Anemometer and Rain-gauge form a This instrument joint apparatus, by which wind and rain are registered on the same sheet of paper. needs no special provision beforehand.

The Sunshine Recorder is a contrivance for marking and measuring the duration of sunshine. The instrument in use at Greenwich consists of a solid glass ball four inches in diameter, supported in a hollow hemispherical bowl of three inches' radius, the two surfaces being separated from one another by a space of an inch. The rim of the bowl is marked like a sundial, and the interior surface is lined with a strip of prepared mill-board. Whenever the sun shines out, its rays, brought to a focus by the glass ball, burn a mark on this strip. The intervals and interruptions of sunshine are thus recorded. This instrument may be set up on the roof of the main building, for which purpose no special preparations are needed.

The Electrograph of Dr. DE LA RUES' list, though not described, is doubtless a THOMSON'S Quadrant Electrometer, fitted for photographic self-registration. It has been shown that I have provided a small room for it on the ground floor of the main building; the window of which can be darkened to the extent required. The collector for this instrument may be attached to a small mast on the roof, above the room; and the wire or rod be carried thence to the instrument, the pier for which should be capped with a slate or marble slab.

The whole of the above, it will be noticed, are autographic instruments, and need only occasional attention, for changing the record-sheets, pointing the pencils, &c. The labour of observation is thus reduced to a minimum.

The second branch of work appertaining to the Meteorological Department will be the observation and collection as far as possible of facts and phenomena relating to typhoons, both for the protection of marine interests and for the purpose of contributing bit by bit to our knowledge of a subject at present but little understood. It will include also the giving attention to the phenomena

of the monsoons,

For weather warnings, the telegraphic cables connecting this port with others on the coast, and with Manila, will furnish most valuable aid. The Manila cable will be of special service in this respect. Past observations seem to show that the typhoons which sweep the Southern China sea for the most

•

part originate in a region the centre of which is situated about a thousand miles (in round numbers) to the south and east of the Philippines. Of those which take Luzon in their course, some make for Hainan and the Gulf of Tonquin. Others pursue a more northerly direction, towards Formosa and Japan. Hongkong itself occupies a position which is comparatively exempt from typhoons, the great majority of these storms passing either to the east or south of the island. As is shown in an able monograph lately published by the Director of the Zi Ka Wei observatory, near Shanghai, out of. thirteen typhoons which traversed the South China sea last year, two only passed at all near to Hong- kong, and of these the centre-tracks were at a sufficiently safe distance. Nevertheless, it is hardly possible to overstate the value of Manila as a warning station for vessels about to leave Hongkong for southern, eastern or northern ports, or vessels approaching it from those places. Means should there- fore be provided for enabling the Director of the Hongkong Observatory to be placed, whenever ne- cessary, in prompt communication by telegraph with Manila, Amoy, Shanghai, Saigon and Singapore, as well as with the south of Japan. A system of daily telegraphic weather exchanges with the chief ports should also be organized as soon as possible. For these purposes, it will be neces- sary to connect the Observatory with the existing telegraph line which crosses the harbour from Kau-lung Dock to Whitfield Police Station. The Observatory may thus be made to fulfil the useful purpose of a Weather Intelligence Office in times of danger for the whole neighbouring region; while, from the daily exchanges, ships' logs, and trustworthy private observations, a large body of facts relating to typhoons and the monsoons may be gradually amassed.

It is most unfortunate that the south part of Formosa is not as yet provided with telegraphic means of communication. This is a cardinal point in the chain of surrounding stations, and, until it is brought into telegraphic connexion with the rest, our system of weather intelligence cannot be made as perfect as might be desired. The exclusion of Hainan in this respect is also to be regretted.

For purposes of warning to vessels in Hongkong harbour, a signal-mast should be erected near the Time-Ball at Kau-lung, and a code of signals established and given the fullest publication. These signals might be repeated on the existing mast at the Harbour Office.

When the scientific establishment at Kau-lung has been fairly started, it will probably be considered needless to keep up all of the meteorological stations now existing in different parts of the Colony. I certainly think that the stations at the Harbour Office, Stone Cutters' Island and the Hospital might very well be abolished. But I would recommend that those at Victoria Peak and Cape d'Aguilar be retained, as they are points at which observations, especially those of the barometer and the wind, will always be of value; and I suggest that both places be supplied with an anemometer, in order that the wind may be observed more accurately than is possible at present, care being taken to get instruments of superior strength. *

III.-Terrestrial Magnetism.

Although the character of the rocks and soil of Hongkong and Kau-lung is not the most favourable that could be chosen for magnetic research, yet the position of the Colony on the magnetic chart, and with respect to other places where observatories are already established, leaves no room to doubt that well-conducted observations of this class will be of great value to the science. These will com- prise observations for determining the Absolute Values of the elements of the Earth's magnetic force,- namely, its Declination, Inclination and Intensity--as well as those for ascertaining the periodic, secular and irregular Variations which the elements undergo, and the laws of which still await complete theoretical explanation. The former class of determinations,-i. e., those of Absolute values-are pretty certain to be more or less prejudicially affected by local attraction proceeding from the granitic rocks and soil; but the Variations, which form by far the more important object of research, can be deduced just as well in the presence as in the absence of local attraction.

The instruments with which Dr. DE LA RUE proposes to equip the magnetic branch are,

A set of photographic self-registering Magnetic instruments, of the Kew pattern, with

accessories, &c.;

A Unifilar Magnetometer ;

A Dip-Circle, with four needles;

all of which, as well as the Meteorological instruments, will be verified at Kew before they are sent out. Their total cost is estimated at £424.

The Photographic instruments will comprise three Magnetometers, for continuous registration of the changes in the declination and the horizontal and vertical forces by means of a central recording apparatus, driven by clockwork and carrying the photographic papers-the whole constituting, with certain accessories, a complete Magnetograph. They will exhibit the periodic variations, as well as those mysterious phenomena of simultaneous disturbance extending over the entire earth's surface, and called magnetic storms, which are amongst the most extraordinary in the whole range

*This however, so far as it concerns Cape d'Aguilar, must depend upon whether good observations of the wind can be obtained at or near to the light-house, a point which may be easily ascertained.

of physics. The magnet of the Declination magnetometer is placed in the magnetic meridian; that for measuring variations of the Horizontal force is compelled by torsion to take a position transverse to the meridian; the third, for measuring variations of Vertical force, is balanced on knife-edges.

The Unifilar Magnetometer is used for ascertaining the absolute value of the horizontal component of the total force in the direction of the dip, by observations of deflection and vibration. It is also used for determining the absolute declination.

The Dip-Circle affords measures of the magnetic inclination, or "dip," and can be used under certain circumstances for measuring variations of the total force.

The chief magnetic building, for the differential instruments, should be a basement or vault, almost wholly underground, and contain an instrument-chamber and a photographic laboratory. I recommend about 22 feet by 20 feet and 12 feet by 10 feet as suitable dimensions for those rooms, and the build- ing should be laid out with the long side of the instrument-room inclined 15 degrees to the west of the magnetic north, the laboratory being at the northern end.

propose, The annexed small drawing will give an idea of the character of the building which I and of the positions of the instruments. It shows that the actual chamber for the magnetograph has an arched roof, and is wholly inclosed within a similar building, the walls and roofs of the two being separated by a space of two feet. The floor of the chamber is 15 feet below the surface of the ground, and the highest point of the external arch is 21 feet above the floor. Covering this arch, there will be (1) inch asphalte, (2) six inches of fine concrete, (3) two feet of earth; the surface being finally turfed. Small relieving arches will need to be built at intervals between the side walls of the outer and inner chambers, in order to meet the thrust upon the inner walls. The main chamber will be quite dark, but a small amount of yellow light will be admitted to the laboratory.

Although the vault form of construction is the best for differential magnetic observations, since it secures the great desideratum of an equable temperature, there are obvious complications and diffi- culties connected with it. Thorough drainage must be carefully provided, in order to keep it dry; and there must be arrangements for carrying off the heat and smoke of lamps. Ventilation also presents a grave difficulty, especially in a climate so hot and damp as that of Hongkong is during several months of the year. It is evident that, if warm air laden with moisture be admitted to an underground chamber which is appreciably cooler, it will produce a constant state of saturation, and be continually depositing its moisture on the delicate instruments and apparatus. A long underground air-flue, connected with vertical shafts, must therefore be provided, in order that the incoming air be cooled to the temperature of the vault, as nearly as possible, before reaching it. These devices are of course expensive, but it is better to put up with the cost than to face the alternative of a building above ground, in which the great variations of temperature would be fatal to satisfactory observation.

For the above and other essential details, Mr. BowDLER's past experience in designing and erecting the excellent Magnetic Observatory at Mauritius will prove of the utmost service in the present case. Mr. BOWDLER has, indeed, been good enough to prepare a detailed drawing after the pattern of the Mauritius building, and although I propose, for the sake of economy, to depart in some important respects from the plan there carried out, his drawing furnishes much practical and useful information, applicable to all works of this kind. It has been of great service to me in preparing the accompanying design.

It remains to consider the material which shall be used for the magnetic building, and which, as needs hardly be stated, must be practically free from iron. Unfortunately, the granite of this region is out of the question, on account of the large percentage of protoxide of iron which it contains. For the same reason we must condemn the concrete that is in common use in Hongkong, since its main ingre- dient is broken granite. Even the bricks made of Canton River mud contain iron, though to a less extent than the granite. I suggest that an analysis be made of the limestone of the White Mountain Range, near Canton, which, if found sufficiently free from iron, might be imported for our purpose, and used both for the masonry and the concrete, if not too costly. A fine concrete, of suitable quality, might be made with washed gravel of this island, i.e., the common decomposed granite (taking care to select a coarse, gritty sample), dug from a nullah side, and washed until only the quartz particles remain. This of course would be expensive. I have little doubt, however, that, on careful inquiry, it will be found neither very difficult nor very costly to procure, near at hand or somewhere on the coast, a material that will fulfil all requirements.

The same rule as regards the exclusion of iron must be followed in every detail of construction. All nails, locks, keys, hinges, bolts, hooks, gratings, pipes, &c., should be of copper, brass, or zinc; and it is important to bear in mind that the copper articles ought to be of European manufacture, as those made in China contain a large percentage of iron. The Reverend M. DECHREVENS, S.J., director of the Zi Ka Wei Observatory, with whom I have entered into correspondence, and to whom I am indebted for some valuable suggestions relating to the Magnetic building, as well as for plans and photographs of his own establishment, is emphatic in his caution on this point, and recommends me "n'employer pour les portes, les fenêtres, les jonctions, etc., que du cuivre, et autant que possible que des objets,

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 3RD SEPTEMBER, 1881. 809

"clous, gonds, serrures, charnières, venues d'Europe, ne pas se fier aux Chinois pour cela : tous leurs objets de cuivre contiennent une grande proportion de fer. Tout le cuivre qui est entré dans notre "salle magnétique, et principalement tout ce que nous avons été obligé de faire fabriquer par des ouvriers "Chinois, à été essayé au magnétomètre avant d'être accepté, et rejeté invariablement dès qu'il produisait "sur l'aimant une déviation de quelques minutes d'arc à un pied de distance."

The Barograph, it may also be remarked, must, if possible, have no iron about it, as it will be mounted in the same chamber with the Magnetograph. The instrument-pillars, which should be capped with slabs of slate or marble, may be made from the same material as that of the building itself; but they cannot be built until the instruments themselves, or their exact dimensions, have been received.

For protection against lightning, a single conductor, carried by a post 25 feet high, erected any- where near the building, will answer,

For the Dip-circle, a small pavilion and pier will have to be erected, in a position well removed from the other magnets, such as the ground outside the astronomical building. This, however, as well as the provision, also above ground, to be made for the Unifilar Magnetometer, may be considered later on.

In the meantime, there will be nothing to prevent the two main buildings from being proceeded with as soon as the working drawings and estimates can be prepared.

IV. Tidal Observations.

There is one instrument which, though referred to in His Excellency the Governor's despatch already quoted from, has not yet been mentioned in this report, and which might with advantage be added to the outfit, namely, a Tide-gauge, for the purpose of determining the laws of the tides at Hongkong, certain phenomena of which, such as the diurnal and other inequalities, are peculiar and, I believe, but little known or understood. An autographic tide-gauge might be set up in a chamber constructed for the purpose near the Tsim-shá-tsui Police Station, and attended to each day by the man in charge of the Time-Ball and Weather-Signals. Such a gauge, of Sir W. THOMSON'S pattern, would cost about £95.

Admiral RYDER suggested, in 1877, that an automatic Tide-gauge should be set up at Cape D'Aguilar, and placed in charge of the lighthouse-keeper there. This is most desirable, as a means of establishing the direction and rate of the tides, and I recommend that it be carried out unless the engineering difficulties prove too serious, in which case a suitable spot might perhaps be found on one of the headlands nearer to Stanley. A less expensive gauge, of NEWMAN's pattern, and costing about £50, would serve for this station.

V.-Staff.

Notwithstanding that so large a proportion of the various intruments will be of self-registering patterns, the routine work of the observatory will, nevertheless, be very considerable. Even auto- graphic instruments require periodic attention, most of them at least once daily. Time-determinations should be made certainly three or four times a week, and these necessitate a considerable amount of observing by night and computing by day. Frequent periodic magnetic observations for absolute values, which are tedious, difficult and highly complicated, will also have to be made and computed. Constant attention must be given to the adjustments of the extensive and miscellaneous apparatus, to winding and regulating clocks, ascertaining the errors of the instruments, and keeping all clean and in good order. A good deal of extra work will also devolve upon the Department during several months of the year, in collecting information respecting typhoons.

The regular clerical labour will consist mainly of entering the observations and calculations in the books and forms for that purpose, transcribing and filing the automatic records, compiling weather exchanges and storm data, abstracting typhoon-logs, preparing periodical reports, accounts, &c., and general correspondence.

The Director of the Establishment should be, if possible, some one recommended by the Astronomer-Royal. No one could be more desirable than an ex-assistant of the Royal Observatory. I do not think we can expect to get a competent person for less than $300 per mensem. He should have, as First assistant, a practical man, chosen with great care a man able to observe and compute, acquainted with the mechanical details of the instruments, and competent to execute, or at least direct, ordinary repairs. An assistant of this kind could probably be got from amongst the non-commissioned officers of the Ordnance Survey Companies of the Corps of Royal Engineers, a very valuable body of men. He should receive a salary of $120 per mensem. To the Royal Engineers we may also look for the Second assistant, who should be a good photographer, and be deputed to attend specially to the Magnetic instruments. Arrangements might, no doubt, be made to procure for him a month's training at the Greenwich Observatory in the routine of the magnetic work. He might be paid $75 per

mensem.

Clerks, of whom two at least will be needed, can be obtained locally. They should be very trustworthy and accurate men. The rest of the employés may be Chinese, namely, a caretaker, to have general charge of the premises; a gardener, for the grounds; coolies, to act as messengers, keep the buildings and premises clean, trim lamps (there being, most unfortunately for the Observatory, no gas at Kau-lung), &c.; and night watchmen; also an intelligent man to attend to the Time-Ball, Weather-Signals and Tide-Gauge at Tsim-shá-tsui, and who should, if possible, be accommodated in the Police Station.

VI.-Finance.

It is now possible to form an idea of the first outlay and the yearly cost of maintenance for the whole establishment as above designed, which probably will not differ much from the following, though the estimates for the buildings can only be considered as approximate, no detailed drawings and calculations having yet been made.

To this will have to be added, after the first year or two, an average annual charge of about $500, for repairs and maintenance of buildings, &c. Further, if it be resolved to undertake so thorough an in- vestigation of the phenomena of the monsoons of the China sea as seems to be suggested in Mr. BLANFORD'S letter -a process which would involve the constant examination and abstracting of a large number of ships' logs-additional clerical help will certainly be needed. On account of the expense, I have most un- willingly refrained from making present provision for a Photoheliograph, but its addition at a future time is much to be desired. As aids to investigation of solar physics and their connexion with terrestrial physics, observations with this instrument are of very great value. Apparatus and wires for observing Earth-currents would also be a desirable future addition to the equipment. In his despatch to Sir MICHAEL HICKS-BEACH, already quoted from, His Excellency the Governor drew attention to the advisability of Seismic observations. The necessary apparatus for this purpose would not be very expensive, and could be added at any time, as it requires but little space for its accommodation. Such observations would possess considerable value, for comparison with those taken in Manila and Japan. In Japan the science of Seismology has excited great interest, and is being closely pursued, both by Europeans and Japanese. Apparatus of the best description has been procured by the Imperial Government, and placed under the charge and observation of the officers of the Meteorological Bureau (Soku-rio-kwa); and I understand that not the least interesting fact which strikes the visitor to this establishment is that one of the most delicate and perfect of all the instruments--that by which the minutest tremblings are detected is the invention of a Japanese gentleman. A Seismological Society of Japan has also been recently started, under the auspices of Professor MILNE, F.G.S., of the Engineering College in Tôkiô.

+

The last recommendation I venture to make is that in due course an Actinometer of the best kind be provided for the Observatory. It is not a costly instrument; and at this time, when so much interest centres in sun-spots, all serial observations of solar heat possess great scientific value.

My ideas as to the proper scheme for an Observatory of the class indicated in the official papers having been thus stated, I have only to repeat my conviction that such an institution, well begun and conducted, will fulfil a want that is greatly felt. To the sciences of Meteorology and Magnetism it will render valuable contributions, which cannot but redound to the credit of the Colony. Concerning Magnetic investigations, the Astronomer Royal not two months ago stated his belief that "no branch of physics bears the same prospective importance"; while the other departments-those for Meteorological and Astronomical observations-will possess a direct utilitarian in addition to their scientific value, in that that they will be the means of affording protection to marine interests and to the lives of seamen navigating these coasts. No one, perhaps, has welcomed the project more cordially than the Rev. F. FAURA, S.J., the earnest Director of the Meteorological Observatory at Manila, who has favoured me with his views on the subject, and with a copy of the design for a Magnetic building which he hopes to add shortly to his own establishment. He writes:

(6

"It is with the highest satisfaction that I observe the interest in the advancement of science "which is taken by His Excellency the Governor of Hongkong. Hongkong is, in my opinion, a 'place admirably suited for the observation and study of Meteorology and Magnetism, and I have no "doubt that in a short time excellent results will flow from Sir JOHN HENNESSY'S Observatory project, "and that the institution will be blessed by all mariners, who will recognise in it a safeguard to their "lives and interests. The Meteorological observations in particular, when combined with those taken "in this Archipelago, cannot fail to render the most beneficial service."

The present occasion is not the first on which the importance of extended scientific observation in these regions has been brought to public notice. Some years ago, Mr. ROBERT HART, C.M.G., the Inspector-General of Chinese Maritime Customs, to whom commerce is indebted for the admirable system of light-houses which cover the coast of China, and for other sagacious measures, wrote an able memorandum advocating the establishment of a series of meteorological stations at various points on the seaboard, and anticipating to some extent the arguments put forward last year by Mr. BLANFORD. It is much to be hoped that Mr. HART will take the present opportunity of renewing his advocacy, and will bring his best efforts to the accomplishment of that project. Such a series of stations, working in cooperation with the larger establishments in Japan, Shanghai, Manila and Hongkong, would help vastly towards, the achievement of those results which the meteorologists of the world so much desire.

It may be appropriate, finally, to glance for a moment at the connexion, more or less strongly marked, that exists between the various branches of physical research which have been discussed or suggested in this report, and which lie within the scope of all well conducted and well supported observatories.

Most persons who know anything of these matters are aware that the epochs in which great solar energy is made apparent to us by an increase in the size and number of the solar spots are also epochs of unusual magnetic excitement on the surface of the earth, that violent disturbances of the sun's surface are generally accompanied by magnetic storms, and that auroral displays are similarly associated with magnetic activity. There are, perhaps, not so many who possess a knowledge of the periodic effects

upon the earth's magnetic force which are traceable to the heavenly bodies, and which take the form of fluctuations recurring with strict regularity. That such influences do exist was, however, discovered many years ago, and it is now well established that, in addition to certain variations of long period, there are regular diurnal inequalities of the several elements of the magnetic force, varying with the hour of the day, that is to say, with the sun's position. They attain their maxima and minima at the same hours day after day, though some of the times vary slightly at the different seasons and in different years. Besides these solar-diurnal inequalities, small lunar inequalities have also been detected. These are semidiurnal, going through their changes twice in each lunar day, and apparently depending on the moon's position with respect to the meridian.

Again, it has long been known that solar changes affect the earth's meteorological as well as its magnetic conditions. Observers at many stations scattered over the globe have ascertained that years years of maximum sun-spots are also years of maximum rainfall, at least upon the land; and that of minimum sun-spots are years of minimum rain-years in which some countries suffer most heavily from drought and famine. The same axiom holds good with respect to wind, which, like the rain, is most violent in years of powerful solar action. West Indian hurricanes, the cyclones of the Indian Ocean, and the typhoons of this region are most numerous in years of sun-spot frequency, that is to say,

of greatest solar years

The statistics of marine disasters point to the same conclusion. It has also been shown that terrestrial temperature and barometric pressure are influenced more or less directly by changes of solar energy. Of the causes of sun-spot outbreaks very little is yet known, but the Kew observers have traced an interesting apparent connexion between the periodicity of solar spots and the configurations of the planets Jupiter, Venus and Mercury.

in

power.

Another relation which has been clearly established is that between electrical earth-currents and terrestrial magnetism. These have been shown, by long series of observations, to be strictly consen- taneous. Active magnetic energy is invariably accompanied by abnormal earth-currents, or electric storms, and calm magnetic periods are always calm earth-current periods. On the other hand, the electrical state of the air near the earth's surface, though exhibiting definite daily fluctuations, with double maxima and minima, seems to be unaffected by magnetic circumstances. Earth-currents are likewise known to have a well-marked diurnal inequality, with fixed hours of maximum and minimum strength, and to vary their direction with similar or even greater regularity. Quite lately, it has been sought to establish a lunar theory of earth-currents, and to show that their behaviour exhibits a close correspondence with the periods of the lunar ocean tides. Barometric tides of this nature, the result of the Moon's dynamical influence on the atmosphere, have been detected at places near to the equator; and it is possible that these atmospheric movements have something to do, not only with the variations of the earth-currents, but also with the lunar inequalities of the magnetic force to which reference has been made above.

Lastly, the association of earthquakes with earth-currents has been satisfactorily demonstrated.

A little consideration of these wonderful links, connecting so many forms of energy, is surely well calculated to stimulate all who are disposed to encourage and aid physical research. Every bit of work well done, no matter how small, is a stone added to the edifice of exact knowledge by means of which scientific men are attacking and gradually elucidating these great physical problems, and working out results which, however dim or even unintelligible they may seem now, are more than likely to prove of the highest practical value in the future.

NOTICE.

It is hereby notified, that the Ships conveying

Chinese Passengers under the provisions of

Ordinance No.5 of 1874, will not be allowed to

carry them on the Upper or Weather Deck between

the 1st of June and the 15th of October, inclusive.

H. G. THOMSETT,

Harbour Department,

Hongkong, 7th May, 1881.

NOTICE.

Emigration Officer, &c.

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.

H. G. THOMSETT,

Hongkong, 25th May, 1881.

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,

Hongkong, 25th May, 1881.

It is hereby notified, that the Ships conveying Chinese Passengers under the provisions of

I have the honour to be,

To the Colonial Secretary,

Sir,

Your most obedient humble Servant,

G. A. K. HONEY,

Acting Consul.

HONGKONG.

His Excellency the Governor General under yesterday's date, and in conformity with the report issued by the Superior Sanitary Committee, in view of the outbreak of cholera in Aden and in Kagoschina, a province of Kin-shan in the South of Japan, as advised by Telegram and by official communications received respectively from the Minister of Foreign Affairs and from the Legation of Spain in the latter quarter, has seen fit to order the following:

1. Every vessel proceeding from an unhealthy port shall suffer, at Point Liniay, 15 days' quaran- tine, if during the voyage no case of illness should have occurred on board, and 20 days, should illness have occurred on board.

2. If during the quarantine any epidemic or contagious sickness should occur on board, whatever be the length of time that the vessel may have been in quarantine, she shall again suffer a further 20 days' quarantine, to count from the day on which such sickness may have appeared on board.

3. A doctor shall be sent to such point (Liniay) for the expungation, fumigation, disinfection, and ventilation of the vessel and cargo; for the assistance of the sick persons, should there be any, and to subject the passengers and their baggage to the fumigation prescribed for such cases.

4. If possible, a pontoon should be erected--as on previous occasions for the separation of the sick from the healthy persons, and in order that the work of expungation, disinfection, and ventilation may be carried out in a proper manner.

5. When the vessel is condemned to 15 days' quarantine, the passengers must undergo it for 8 days, if during that period no case of sickness should have broken out, and after being fumigated they shall be allowed to proceed on shore, without their baggage, but in the case of 20 days' quarantine, they shall suffer the whole term of it.

6. Such vessels shall be considered as suspected, and consequently subjected to a quarantine of observation of 3 days, as may arrive from the ports of Hongkong, Amoy, Singapore, and others of the China Seas, on account of the frequent and direct communication which obtains between them, and the infected localities.

If, however, in said ports, and in those of the transit from Aden, Sanitary laws are observed with respect to the infected districts, they shall be considered as coming from clean ports.

7. Should vessels receive on board passengers or goods arrived from said ports, either by tranship- ment or from the shore, such vessels shall be considered as proceeding from unhealthy ports, and shall be subjected to the quarantine treated of in Article I.

8. Captains of vessels proceeding from the ports referred to, shall come provided with a certificate from the Spanish Consul, certifying as to whence the passengers and goods brought by them have come, and Captains who may arrive without such documents, shall be considered as proceeding from an in- fected port, and shall come under Article I.

9. Spanish Consuls accredited to ports in China, Japan, and the Suez Canal route, shall report (by the speediest possible means) the progress of the epidemic, where, and where it does not, exist, if Snitary laws are observed, in order that the necessary steps may be taken here (with ships arriving from such places).

10. That said Spanish Consuls shall be telegraphed to-making enquiries, and advising them of the purport of the foregoing articles.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 1ST OCTOBER, 1881.

875

11. That these steps shall be carried out in all the open ports of these Islands, and, not only shall the above articles be published in the Official Gazette, for the information of the public, but the authorities at these ports, shall be advised by telegraph, in case any vessels should arrive from the aforesaid places, before they can receive advices by mail.

12. All correspondence which may proceed from infected and suspected ports, shall be received immediately, the sacks opened, and sprinkled with a disinfectant, under the direction of a doctor, and in an isolated spot-it shall be done in this Capital, on the Malecon del Norte, as on previous occasions, and in the presence of an official from the Post Office, who shall take charge of the correspondence after being so disinfected.

The above I have the honour to communicate to you, in the commercial interests of the nation which you represent in this country.

The following Revised Regulations for Hongkong Cadetships are published for general informa-

By His Excellency's Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 30th September, 1881.

W. M. DEANE, Acting Colonial Secretary.

HONGKONG CADETSHIPS.

With a view to supply the Civil Service in Hongkong, Cadetships have been established, the holders of which are required to devote themselves for a certain time to learning the Chinese Language. The Cadets are selected by open competitive examination held by the Civil Service Commissioners. The examinations for these appointments will, as a rule, be held in the month of August in those years in which vacancies have occurred in the Civil Service of Hongkong.

2nd. Candidates must be between the ages of 21 and 24 on the first day of the Examination, and must satisfy the Civil Service Commissioners that they are duly qualified in respect of health and character. The Medical Examination does not ordinarily take place until the result of the competition is known, but Candidates may, by application to the Civil Service Commissioners, obtain permission to undergo it earlier.

3rd. The fees required from candidates are £1 for the preliminary and £5 for the competitive examination.

4th. The heads of examination are as follows:-

*

A. Obligatory.

1st. Exercises designed to test Handwriting and Orthography.

2nd. Arithmetic, including Vulgar and Decimal Fractions.

3rd. Latin, and one of the following languages:-Greek, French, German, Italian. The qualifying test will be translation from the language, but marks will be given for trans- lation into it, and in the case of the Modern languages for colloquial proficiency.

4th. English Composition, including Prècis Writing.

B. Optional.

5th. Pure Mathematics, viz. Euclid I.-IV., and VI.; Algebra, including the Binomial theorem; Trigonometry, including the solution of Triangles; Analytical Geometry (elementary); and mixed Mathematics, including Statics and Dynamics treated without the Differential Calculus.

6th. Modern Geography and Ancient or Modern history.

7th. The Elements of Constitutional and International Law, and Political Economy.

8th. Geology, Civil Engineering, and Surveying.

9th. Any two languages included under the third head which have not been taken up as

obligatory.

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

any two of the Optional Subjects.

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.

5th. Each Cadet gill 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. 9, 10). And half-salary will be allowed from the date of embarkation.

6th. After arrival in Hongkong he will be required to continue his study of the language. 7th. 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.

* 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, 1ST OCTOBER, 1881.

877

8th. 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 a salary $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.

9th. The progress of the Cadet will be tested by half-yearly examinations, and he will be liable to be dismissed without further pay, if he does not pass his final examination (see Section 7) within 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.

•

10th. 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 dismissal and of its being decided by the Governor and Executive Council that such repayment shall be enforced; and also in the event of the Cadet within four years from the date of his arrival in Hongkong either quitting the Colony without leave or relinquishing his appointment (except for ill health), together with a further sum of £50 for each year to repay the Colony the cost of his teaching, up to his leaving.

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

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.

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.

簿七十二第

SPEECH OF HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR ON LAYING THE FOUNDATION STONE OF ST. JOSEPH'S COLLEGE.

HIS EXCELLENCY said-Ladies and gentlemen, the especial interest which the Government has in the proceedings of to-day consists in the fact that this is what is called a grant-in-aid school that is, it is a school towards the support of which the Government gives a grant. When I came to the Colony in 1877, there were in the Colony fourteen grant-in-aid schools. Last year the number of such schools was twenty-seven; this year the number has increased to thirty-two, and the number of pupils has also doubled since 1877. How is that to be accounted for? It is due to the fact that Her Majesty's Government, since the year 1877, have altered the principle upon which the grant-in- aid schools in this Colony receive a share of the public money. When I arrived here, I found the school referred to by Father BURGHIGNOLI in existence, the predecessor of this school, but though that school had in 1877 about 200 boys in attendance, the sons of European residents in the Colony, the sons of ratepayers of the Colony, nevertheless, the school was receiving no Government aid whatever. I also found that schools of other denominations were similarly situated. It was represented to me by PASTOR KLITZKE and the Rev. Mr. LOUIS, of the Berlin Mission, that their schools were receiving no Government aid, because they used religious books and incorporated Christian teaching with the whole work of their schools. The late Colonial Chaplain, Mr. KIDD, also wrote to the Colonial Secretary, that he could not conscientiously accept the Government grant-in-aid. The very same reason which influenced Bishop RAIMONDI in declining to receive that grant, also influenced the other gentlemen whom I have named. The consequence was that in all the Government grant-in-aid schools in this Colony, there were in 1877 but eighty children of the foreign residents of Hongkong. Well, in this school alone, we have now over 200, and the total number of foreign children in the grant-in- aid schools has increased from 80 to 338. This change was effected by Sir MICHAEL HICKS-BEACH, by simply striking out of the grant-in-aid scheme as it then existed the word "secular," and the word "elementary." In 1877 it was a rule that no school could get a Government grant in which the school books were not secular books, and in which a certain portion of the day's instruction, a con- siderable portion, was not devoted to secular teaching only. Sir MICHAEL HICKS-BEACH considered carefully the representations of Bishop RAIMONDI, of the Lutheran Clergymen who had addressed me. and also of the Chaplain of the Church of England, and he resolved to strike out the word "secular from the grant-in-aid scheme. That decision of Her Majesty's Government was not given hastily, nor without fully considering the question. It so happened that at the time when I forwarded the various papers for the consideration of the Government, I was able to inform the Secretary of State that Dr. STEWART, who had been for years a most zealous and able advocate of the secular system, was proceeding on leave to London, and could explain on behalf of those who wished for a purely secular system of Government aid, his views and the views of those whom he represented. Those views were carefully considered. Dr. STEWART, in a long letter addressed to the Under-Secretary at the Colonial Office, pointed out that in his opinion, if the word "secular" were struck out of the grant-in-aid scheme, it would involve a sacrifice of the principle on which Government grants for education were at that time allowed in Hongkong. Nevertheless, having considered the question carefully, Her Majesty's Government resolved to strike out the word "secular," and to-day I am about to lay the foundation stone of a school receiving Government aid now to the amount of about $1,400, but which did not receive a single farthing of Government aid when I arrived in the Colony; and this school will also receive, under the regulations approved by the

968 THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 5TH NOVEMBER, 1881.

EARL OF KIMBERLEY, a building grant to be calculated on certain reasonable and even generous conditions.--(Applause). I must say, gentlemen, I think the decision of Her Majesty's Government was in every sense a wise decision; it was but a simple recognition of the sound principle of Freedom of Education, because thus we allow, in every school in the Colony, the teachers to bring up the boys as they think fit, to give them whatever amount of religious knowledge they may choose to teach in connection with other subjects, but the final examination is conducted by independent examiners under Government inspection, and that examination is made in subjects which are selected by the Government, and upon the results of that examination the grant depends. I have much satisfaction, therefore, in informing you that the important changes made by Sir MICHAEL HICKS-BEACH have worked admirably. The schools and the pupils have considerably increased in number, and there is not now in the Colony a single denomination, or any body whatever, that has a complaint to urge against the Government in respect of public instruction. I agree with Father BURGHIGNOLI that the chief credit of what we are doing here to-day is due to my absent friend Bishop RAIMONDI. He it is who laboured so many years to bring about the result we see, namely, the assembling here on this commanding and healthy site of the children of the majority of the foreign residents who will be the pupils in the new College and who are receiving a first class education; receiving it from a body of men, the Christian Brothers, especially trained as teachers, men whose fame as teachers is known all over the globe. I remember a Parliamentary report in which the House of Commons was informed by competent authorities that amongst the very best teachers connected with any scheme of education in the United Kingdom were the Christian Brothers.-(Loud applause.) They devote their lives to this object, and the results that we find at the annual examination of this school show that the Christian Brothers in Hongkong have earned here the same reputation that they have throughout the rest of the world.-(Renewed applause.) Now, Mr. DANBY, I shall have much pleasure in laying the

stone.

Mr. DANBY, the architect, then presented to the Governor a silver-mounted ebony mallet and a silver trowel, each bearing the inscription, "St. Joseph's College, Hongkong. Foundation stone laid by Sir J. POPE HENNESSY, K.C.M G., Governor, 3rd November, 1881.'

The usual formalities having been observed, His Excellency declared the stone well and truly laid, and loud applause followed.

The stone bore the same inscription as the mallet and trowel presented to the Governor.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GA CETTE, 5TH NOVEMBER, 1881.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.——No.384.

The following finding of a Marine Court appointed to enquire into the stranding of the British Ship Geraldine Paget, having been confirmed by the Governor, is published for general information.

By His Excellency's Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 5th November, 1881.

FINDING.

M. S. TONNOCHY, Acting Colonial Secretary.

We find that the British Ship Geraldine Paget, 1,200 tons burden, Official No. 63,572 of London, STEPHEN WILKINson, Master, No. of Certificate of Cornpetency 90,348, sailed from Hongkong on the 9th instant, in Ballast, bound to Portland, Oregon, and, after encountering heavy weather on the 13th instant, became a total wreck on the morning of the 14th instant, on the South East side of the Pratas

Shoal.

We are of opinion that there is no blame to be attached to the Master of the Geraldine Paget for the loss of that Ship.

The Court are glad to observe that the Chinese again rendered ready assistance to a shipwrecked crew and brought them safely to Hongkong.

We repeat the opinion given at a recent Marine Court of enquiry that the Pratas Shoal should be efficiently lit

up.

Given under our hands at Hongkong, this 24th day of October, 1881.

Hongkong with its vast commercial transactions and valuable property, is essen- tially a place where a well conducted Tele- phone Exchange will be of the greatest use, and in laying this Prospectus before the Public, the Company hopes that it may count upon the general support not only of the merchants and professional members of the Community, but also of the different Govern- ment Departments in order to render the service as efficient as possible,

The Exchange will be worked in the follow ing way, viz.: a Head Office will be established in the central part of the town provided with the best Telephone appliances according to the newest and most approved European and American inventions. Each subscriber will be supplied with a complete set of Instruments, and will be put in direct communication with the central office by separate wires,

When wishing to use the Telephone, a Sub- scriber will only have to call the Central Station and give the name of the party he wishes to speak with, the wires are then immediately switched together, and the two Subscribers will be in direct communication with each other. When they have finished, the Central Office is notified to that effect by a Bell Signal, the wires are then disconnected, and any other connection can be made if desired, and so on. The dialogue between the subscribers is of course quite private, and can only be heard by the two parties concerned, It should distinctly be understood that the messages are not spoken to the Central Office, and thence transmitted to the person to be communicated with, but the two wires are simply switched together, thus forming one continuous line, over which conversation can be carried with perfect ease and privacy.

The Central Office will, if practicable, be open to the general public, so that any person can thence communicate with the Subscribers. For this service non-subscribers would have to pay a small fee according to the time they occupy the wire.

The Telephones used by the Company are the Combination-Bell-Edison. These Instru- ments, which are far superior to all other Te- lephones on account of their great distinctness of sound, combined with easy management, have met with unrivalled success throughout the world, and are now also adopted by the British Government Departments in England and India.

The subscription fee will to some extent

the price will not exceed $150 per annum for town subscribers. The following boundaries will be taken as terminating the town, viz., West,--The Gas Works. East,-Police Station No. 2. South,-Caine Road and Kennedy Road, etc. Subscribers outside these limits would have to pay a proportionally higher charge according to the length of wire required

and the difficulties to be overcome in con- structing and maintaining the line. The sub- scription will be binding for one year, payable quarterly in advance.

The Central Office will be under competent supervision, and an efficient staff of clerks will be in attendance during office hours.

The Company will also undertake to make private arrangements for persons wishing to be in direct communication with their offices, godowns, etc., and to take over the mainte- nance of such lines at a reasonable charge.

In order to expedite the work, subscribers are requested to send in their names to the undersigned agent at an early date,

Should sufficient support not be received, the Company is not bound to establish the Exchange.

THE RIGHT HONOURABLE THE EARL OF KIMBERLEY TO GOVERNOR

SIR JOHN POPE HENNESSY, K.C.M.G.

DOWNING STREET, 28th December, 1880.

SIR,-I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your despatch No. 163 of the 17th of October last, forwarding for consideration the Draft of an Ordinance for making the changes in the laws of the Colony relating to the treatment of criminals which were suggested in your despatch No. 60 of the 18th of May last.

The word "flogging" does not occur in any of the statutes which it is proposed to repeal, and there is therefore no reason for introducing it into the present Ordinance. The preamble should be simply "Whereas it is expedient to amend the penal laws in force in this Colony."

The Schedule of enactments to be repealed includes the whole of Ordinance 8 of 1876, which was passed but has not been brought into operation. By the repeal of the whole of this Ordinance, instead of only the Branding clause, without the substitution of any other enactment, the instructions conveyed in my despatch of the 30th of July last, and in Lord CARNARVON'S despatch of the 18th

1008 THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 19TH NOVEMBER, 1881.

of May 1877, would not be carried out, but I am of opinion that the best course now will be to retain it in the Schedule of repeals, and to re-enact by a separate Ordinance that part of it which relates to banishment with the amendments directed by Lord CARNARVON.

In Clause 2 of the Draft Ordinance the reference to Section 43 of Ordinance 7 of 1865 appears to be erroneons, Section 31 being doubtless intended. This Clause should also repeal the words "publicly or" in Ordinance 12 of 1865.

When these amendments have been made, you have my authority for introducing this Ordinance.

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

GOVERNMENT HOUSE, HONGKONG, 15th June, 1881.

MY LORD,-In accordance with the authority conveyed to me in Your Lordship's Despatch No. 96 of 28th December 1880, I laid before the Legislative Council on the 3rd instant the Bill entitled

The Penal Laws Amendment Ordinance, 1881.1

As the proposed Government measure involved the repeal or amendment of eleven Ordinances and dealt with a subject that had caused some little controversy in the Colony, I circulated amongst the Members of Council copies or extracts of various despatches and other papers (six printed copies of which are herewith enclosed) relating to remission of sentences, branding and flogging in Hongkong, and I introduced the Bill with a few explanatory remarks so as to elicit on the second reading a full expression of opinion.

Having allowed ten days to elapse after the first reading, I moved the second reading on the 13th instant, when the Bill was read a second time unanimously. The only members who took part in the debate, supported the Bill on the ground that the satisfactory state of crime in the Colony justified it.

* * * *

Mr. SNOWDEN (the Acting Chief Justice) said: "There is no doubt the state of crime is very "much better than it was when I first came to the Colony in 1874.

Lately, I think. "crime has very much decreased, especially crimes of violence." His Honour added that he thought the proposed Ordinance put the question of flogging on a very satisfactory footing.

Though the Bill has practically passed, I put off the final stage, as well as the second reading of the Banishment of criminals Bill till the next meeting of Council.

The Right Honourable

THE EARL OF KIMBERLEY,

I have, &c.,

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

GOVERNMENT HOUSE, HONGKONG, 18th June, 1881.

MY LORD,-My despatch No. 91 of 15th June 1881, will show that I acted on the instructions in Your Lordship's Despatch No. 96 of the 28th December, 1880, and struck out the word "flogging" in the title and preamble of the Draft Ordinance I proposed for dealing with the subject of Flogging and Branding.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 19TH NOVEMBER, 1881. 1009

But whilst I made this verbal alteration, I beg leave to point out that Your Lordship was under a misconception in thinking that the word "flogging" does not occur in any of the enactments the Draft Ordinance proposed to repeal. For instance, in the same despatch, Your Lordship expresses the opinion that it is well to retain in the Schedule the whole of Ordinance 8 of 1876, as an Ordinance to be repealed. But Section XI of that statute authorizes a returned deportee convicted of a "mischievous" crime to be once or twice publicly or privately flogged with "not more on each occa- "sion than thirty six lashes."

The Statute against which the proposed Draft Ordinance was mainly directed is Ordinance 4 of 1872, which is now to be repealed. Your Lordship will see that in the collection of Hongkong Statutes, Volume 2, this Ordinance is headed "Branding and Flogging;" and that the word "flogging" occurs in the preamble as well as in Clause II.

The Schedule proposes to repeal in Section IX of Ordinance 1 of 1868 the words amongst others "thrice publicly or privately flogged;" and in Section XXXII the words "publicly or privately

'flogged in the manner

with respect to flogging under Ordinance 12.”

NOTICE TO MARINERS.

(No. 103.)

EASTERN ARCHIPELAGO.

SUMATRA-WEST COAST. PISANG HARBOUR.

(1) Proposed Light on Pulo Pisang.

The Netherlands Government has given Notice, dated 23rd April 1881, that it is proposed to establish a light on the summit of Pulo Pisang (Pisang Kroé), Pisang harbour.

Position, lat. 5° 9′ S., long. 103° 55′ E.

JAVA-MADURA STRAIT.

(2) Harbour Light at Probolingo.

Also, with reference to Notice to Mariners, No. 12 (5), of 20th January 1877, on the proposed establishment of a harbour light at Probolingo, south side of Madura strait:-

Further Notice has been given, dated 23rd April 1881, that the lighthouse is in course of construction on the western harbour mole, and that the light will be a fixed white light.

Position, lat. 7° 43′ S., long. 113° 12′ E.

CHINA SEA-GULF OF SIAM.

(3) Sunken Rock in Channel North-west of Koh Tron.

Information has been received of the existence of a sunken rock lying in the northern part of the channel between Koh Tron (Phu-Quoc) and Water island, eastern shore of the gulf of Siam:-

This danger (Cape Clear rock) on which the British vessel Cape Clear is stated to have struck, was found by a boat sent to examine the locality, to have 4 feet water over a flat summit, yellow in colour, and about 10 feet square; it lies with the following bearings, viz. :-

East extreme of Water island South extreme of Water island

N.W. point, Koh Tron

.N. 50° W. ...S. 73 W.

.South.

At the distance of about half a cable southward of Cape Clear rock, a depth of 14 feet was found, and at about three- quarters of a cable 23 feet.

(The bearings as given are Magnetic. Variation 2o Easterly in 1881.)

(4) Reported Sunken Rock Westward of Koh Rong.

Also, of the existence of a sunken rock lying about 27 miles westward of Koh Rong, eastern shore of the gulf of Siam :- This rock (Jan Peter) on which the German barque Jan Peter grounded at 8 a.in. on 21st December 1880, is stated to have 2 fathoms water over it, and as seen from aloft was estimated to be about two ships' lengths in extent; the following bearings were observed from the vessel when aground, viz.:-

Koh Kong summit,

Koh Rong

Rong Sam Lem,,

""

.N.N.E. E. 1 S. .E. by S.

About 2 hours after grounding, the tide had risen about 10 feet, and the vessel backed off the danger, striking heavily from the easterly swell.

The above bearings would place Jan Peter rock about 22 miles W.S.W. of Koh Samit (nearest land), or in lat. 10° 45′ N., long. 102° 42′ E., but from the nature of the account received, the position must be regarded as approximate. Mariners therefore should navigate in the vicinity with great caution.

Water, supplied by the frequent rains, is collected and stored in poorly constructed cisterns or wells, but is unfit to drink; parties landing should carry a supply of water with them.

Barter. In case Aoga-sima should be visited and the services of the natives required, the best article to give them in remuneration is food. Clothing material, good fishing-tackle, small cordage, and cutlery are also articles which would prove very acceptable to them.

BAYONNAISE ROCKS take an elliptical shape, the greatest diameter being about 400 yards in a north and south direction, and consist of a number of sharp pointed rocks, the highest being about 30 feet above the surface of the sea.

Soundings were obtained by the Alert within a quarter of a mile of the Bayonnaise rocks, and Commander Hunt- ington considered them by far the most dangerous of the rocks and islands visited by him to the south of Yedo gulf, and mentioned in this notice.

Geographical position.-By sea observations the position of the Bayonnaise rocks was determined to be, lat. 31° 55′ 15′′ N.; long. 139° 54′ 18′′ E.

PONAFIDIN ISLAND, 1,176 feet above the sea, is of volcanic formation, with numerous seams, fissures, and caverns. The island is about the size of Aoga-sima, and the landing is much more practicable. It mainly consists of lava in solid masses, scoriæ, inter-stratified layers of dark and red sand, and some vertical streaks of limestone.

The vegetation is luxuriant, and in parts extremely dense, but there is not a great variety; it mainly consists of bam- boo grass rising to the height of eight feet. There appeared to be no timber, water, or animal life on the northern part of the island. The south-west side was not explored, but from the ship's deck it appeared more rugged and inaccessible than the north-east. A thorough exploration would be a work of great difficulty, as paths would have to be cut through the bamboo grass and the way very carefully felt, to avoid precipices.

If water could be found, the island would be habitable, and the soil, which is a vegetable mould, would prove pro- ductive. The air was full of insect life, and some of the ravines and fissures were filled with a beautiful creeping vine.

The ascent on the north-east side was not easily made on account of the steepness and the density of the undergrowth and bamboo grass; the top or most elevated land was not attained. A loose soil formed in places, so spongy as to let the foot sink in deeply at every step, rendering it necessary to use great caution in exploring, as precipices are come upon in this way barely hidden by the dense vegetation.

No reptiles were found, and the birds consisted of a variety of large dark gull which were very numerous, occupying every part of the island explored, shore and upland, and a small musical yellow bush bird.

Junk cove.1. -A party from the Alert landed in Junk cove on the north-east side of Ponafidin island. The landing was effected through the surf without much difficulty, and a survey of the cove made. The bottom is rocky and would give but precarious anchorage, and the area in which a vessel might anchor is very limited. It is protected from all winds except those from north to east. Soundings show 10 fathoms at the entrance, gradually decreasing to 3 fathoms within 50 feet of the shore. Just outside the entrance 20 fathoms was obtained. Junks might find it safe to anchor in this cove, but a ship of any size would hardly have room to swing, even if moored.

Soundings.-There are no soundings in 200 fathoms, anywhere beyond a mile from the island, and bottom at that depth was not obtained at a distance of less than half a mile.

Violent Storms are probably common, judging from the depth and eroded appearance of the ravines and valleys running from the elevated land seaward, and from patches of the level surface here and there denuded of vegetation, plants being torn up by the roots.

Shelter. A steam vessel caught in a gale in the vicinity of either Aoga-sima or Ponafidin island, could make good weather, and obtain shelter by keeping close under their lee.

Geographical position, the centre of Ponafidin island was determined to be latitude 30° 28′ 26′′ N., longitude 140° 14′ 12" E.

was ascertained to be 421 feet above the sea. Soundings tried for on all sides of Smith's

SMITH'S ISLAND 2 island failed to find bottom.

Geographical position.-By sea observation for latitude, and observations on shore with the artificial horizon for longitude (three chronometers,) the centre of Smith island was found to be in latitude 31° 27′ 8′′ N., longitude 140° 2′ E.

LOT'S WIFE or RICA DE ORO.-This rock, 466 feet high, was sighted from the Alert at a distance of more than 18 miles, and in clear weather it can probably be seen 30 miles. There is a rock off the northern edge of the western extremity.

Soundings. No bottom in 20 fathoms could be found at the distance of 30 feet from Lot's Wife. The nature of the bottom found at the deeper soundings obtained was lava-crust, shells, sponge, and marine plants.

Current.-A boat sent to examine what appeared to be a ledge of rocks stretching to the south-eastward, found it to be only a wake or tide rip caused by the south-east current.

Geographical position, Lot's Wife was determined to be in latitude 29° 46′ 28′′ N., longitude 140° 19′ 50′′ E.

BONIN ISLANDS.3 3

PEEL ISLAND. PORT LLOYD. Supplies.-Nearly all tropical fruits can be obtained at the Bonin islands. Productions.-Attention is being paid to the cultivation of coffee, principally on Stapleton island, on which there are said to be 70,000 trees growing. Cotton of fine quality is produced, but not very successfully, as it is injured by the severe autumnal storms. Rice and barley have been planted by the Japanese, and produce good crops. The soil in the valley is very good, but on the mountain sides it is not deep, and is liable to be washed away by the heavy rains.

There are five kinds of valuable hard woods, viz., mulberry, treemana, ironwood, and two others, called by the natives rosewood and yellow wood.

Winds. From the information obtained, the worst winds are to be expected in October, but typhoons are rarely experienced, the last occurring in October 1876. During July good weather is expected, and in August rain, but no heavy storms. In the summer land and sea breezes prevail. The weather is generally calm at this season of the year, and when there is a breeze it is most frequently from the south-west.

In Junk cove, the remains of a wrecked Japanese junk were found, and on a slope near by, a white staff had been erected. The ground was carefully examined, but no human bones found; it is probable that any people who may have been wrecked succeeded in getting away from the island.

2 No search was made by the U.S.S. Alert for Volcano island, but the track of that vessel (reported by Admiral Coote, the Commander in Chief in China,) was such that the island would probably have been seen had it existed.

FORFANA or ARZOBISPO ISLAND reported as having been seen in lat. 25° 43′ N., long. 140° 43′ E. by the U.S. ship Alert, in 1877, was searched for in that position by the same ship July 4th, 1880. The day was beautifully Several soundings of from 120 to 140 clear and calm, and an island of any considerable height would have been seen. fathoms were taken without finding bottom.

Commander Huntington, commanding the U.S. ship Alert, (1880,) is of opinion that Arzobispo island does not exist in the above position.

SAN ALESSANDRO ISLAND is two miles long by one mile wide, and 2,534 feet high, and appears so different when seen from the north and south, that it would not be recognised as the same object.

Soundings taken around San Alessandro island at distances of from half a mile to two miles from its north, south, and eastern sides gave no bottom at 140 fathoms; but on the western side depths of from 40 to 44 fathoms were found.

The landing place is at the south-west end.

Geographical position.-By sea observations the Alert determined the position of the centre of San Alessandro island to be in lat. 25° 24′ 54′′ N., long. 141° 15′ 45′′ E.

SUBMARINE VOLCANO.-As the Alert approached San Alessandro island from the northward, a strange appearance was noticed at a distance of about 10 miles. A volume of vapour was rising as though a vessel was blowing off As the ship steam; this was followed by an appearance of breakers, and presently an immense black mass was thrown up. approached the submarine volcano, the black masses were distinguished as mud and ashes. The upheaval was accompanied by dull reports, like those from submarine mines, and by an odour of sulphur.

It was not considered prudent to approach the volcano with the ship nearer than half a mile, but a boat was lowered and pulled within a 100 yards of it. A reef or island was found to be in of formation, and soundings were obtained

process in from 5 to 29 fathoms." The water was full of ashes and mud, and some of this, with one specimen of the bottom, was brought on board. At night, flames were noticed issuing from the volcano.

Geographical position.-By observation taken on shore at San Alessandro island, the submarine volcano was found to bear N. 44° W. from the south-west end of it, distant 3 miles; or, in lat. 25° 26′ 10′′ N., long. 141° 13′ 10′′ E.

VOLCANO ISLANDS.

SULPHUR ISLAND 2 is 5 miles long E.N.E. and W.S.W., and the round hill at the south-west end is 644 feet above the sea. The island has reefs off its eastern side for about 21⁄2 miles, and off the western side for from 1 to 11⁄2 miles, on which side, between the reef and the island, there appears to be foul ground and rocks. From the northern or flat end of Sulphur island smoke or steam was noticed issuing from the ground.

Soundings were taken on the north and south sides of Sulphur island, in 140 and 130 fathoms, without finding bottom; but at the distance of three quarters of a mile from the south-east side, the depth was 100 fathoms, lava bottom.

Geographical position.-By observations taken by the Alert, the north-east end of Sulphur island was determ- ined to be in lat. 24° 47′ 46′′ N., long. 141° 21′ 10′′ E., and the south-west end in lat. 24° 44′ 29′′ N., long. 141° 16′ 39′′ E., thus giving the centre of the island in lat. 24° 46′ 7′′ Ñ., long. 141° 18′ 54′′ E.

Discoloured water.-The Alert steamed into a patch of discoloured water in the neighbourhood of the Volcano islands, obtaining a cast of the lead in 130 fathoms without finding bottom. The discolouration resembled shoal water, so much, that great hesitation was felt at putting the ship in it. The substance proved greasy to the touch, and may have been caused by a whale.

SAN FRANCISCO ROCK.-No bottom at 150 fathoms could be found in latitude 31° 43′ N., longitude 141" 14 E., one of the positions assigned to the San Francisco rock. The Imperial German ship-of-war Hertha, Captain Knorr, in December 1875, and March 1876, passed this danger, and placed it in latitude 31° 29′ N., longitude 140° 14′ E.1

* From Sulphur island, both San Alessandro and San Augustino islands were plainly seen and appeared exactly alike. Viewed from this position, they are perfect cones. From the north, San Alessandro island does not appear conical, and the high western end has a rounded outline. Krusenstern in his "Voyage around the World," 1803-06, Vol. 2, p. 269, gives the height of San Augustino island as 520 toises, equal to 3,111 feet, which accords with the sketch taken by the Alert from Sulphur island.

PANAY ISLAND. PORT ILO ILO (Yloilo.) Oton bank. This bank is composed of shifting sand, and vessels should not attempt to cross it. The northern channel across Oton bank, formerly carrying a depth of from 34 to 4 fathoms has shoaled considerably, and the pilots have recently declined to take vessels drawing even less than 13 feet through it. The south channels (between Oton bank and Guineras) is exclusively used by the pilots.

CUYOS ISLANDS. Sunken Rock. The position accepted for the sunken rock reported by Mr. Samuel Farrell of the barque Belted Will, 1880, on the Admiralty Charts, is lat. 11° 21′ N., long. 121° 0′ 45′′ E.

PORT ZEBÚ.-The three shoals reported in port Zebú, and alluded to in Hydrographic Notice, No. 39 of 1880, are situated as follows:-

Great Lagundi, having over it 3 fathoms, bears S.W. by W., distant about 1 miles from the centre of Lipata bank; it is marked by a buoy with a staff and ball.

Little Lagundi, having over it 3 fathoms, bears S.S.W., distant 1 miles from the centre of Lipata bank; it is marked by a buoy with staff and ball.

Point Tambou shoal, having over it 4 fathoms, bears S.E. by E., distant 23 miles from the centre of Lipata bank; it is marked by a buoy with staff and ball.

Buoys.-Those of Zebú which are laid out along the coast on the Zebú side of the harbour are painted in black and white vertical stripes; those on the Mactan side of the harbour are painted in red and white vertical stripes.

TAPBUL GROUP.-Soundings in 63 fathoms were struck by H.M.S. Moorhen, March 1881, in lat. 5° 37' N., long. 120° 47′ E., with Selun island bearing S. 54° W., and Siassi island peak S. 40° E.

A bank upon which the least water obtained was 33 fathoms, was also found in lat. 5° 35′ N., long. 120° 54′ E., with the peak of Siassi bearing S. 32° W., and Punuan islet S. 9° E.

N.E. COAST OF BORNEO.3

Mallawallé channel to Sandakan harbour.-Banguey peak just open to the westward of Mallawallé island N.W. N. leads between the rock and shoal south of Mallawallé island. After passing the shoal, which can generally be seen, a S.E. 3 E. course will lead to Teegabu island, which may be passed at a distance of half a mile from its south end.

Teegabu (Tigabu) island, situated in latitude 6° 52′ N., longitude 117° 29′ E. (approximate), is about 3 miles in circumference and well wooded.

A reef extends for about six cables off the north-west and west sides of Teegabu island, with 5 feet on its outer edge, and 13 fathoms close to. A cable's length from the south-west and south sides of the island there is deep water, but from the east side, the reef extends to a considerable distance.

Tide. The rise and fall of tide at Teegabu island appeared to be about 4 feet.

Anchorage was found in H.M.S. Kestrel 5 cables from the west side of Teegabu island in 12 fathoms, sand and mud. A shoal extends for some distance from the north-west end of the island.

A shoal, about 30 yards in extent, and having over it 4 fathoms of water and 10 fathoms around it, on which the Kestrel anchored, exists with the following bearings:-

Left extreme of Teegabu island

Left extreme of Seemaddal

.N. 54° W. .S. 54° W.

North-east of this position distant about half a mile, is a shoal nearly awash; and south-west, about a mile, there is ap- parently more shoal water.

The south end of Teegabu island bearing N.W. W. leads between the shoals in 12 fathoms.

A shoal, on which 5 fathoms of water was obtained, was passed over by the Kestrel. From its southern edge the bearing of Lankayan island was S. 85° W., and of Bo-aan island S. 25° E. This shoal extended some distance to the north-ward, and had the appearance of having less than 5 fathoms in that direction.

Bo-aan island, on its western side, is steep-to, with a depth of 17 fathoms, sand and mud, at the distance of 3 cables from the beach.

SANDAKAN HARBOUR.-The Labuan trading company's establishment has been moved to the point half a mile westward of Tanjong Papat, on the north side of the harbour."

Soundings.-Close to the bluff of the point alluded to, there is 4 fathoms of water, and the soundings increase gradually from the shore.

Anchorage may be obtained in Sandakan harbour at any convenient distance from the above point.

TAMBISAN ISLAND.-The east point of Tambisan island is low, with mangrove trees; it is difficult to dis- tinguish at a distance.

Anchorage was obtained in H.M.S. Egeria, in 10 fathoms, with the west end of Tambisan island bearing S. 49° W., the east end of Tambisan island S. 1° E., Tanjong Unsang S. 46° E.

Tides. In the month of August, (three days after new moon), the ebb tide near Tambisan island was observed to run E. by S. 1 S., at the rate of 2 knots an hour.

Tolibas anchorage, on the south side of Tanjong Unsang peninsula, has good holding ground and an even bottom. The Egeria anchored here in 8 fathoms at a distance of 11⁄2 miles from the shore, the bottom consisting of mud, and coarse

coral sand.

1018 THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 19TH NOVEMBER, 1881.

Tuneu river is shallow, and discharges itself about 4 miles to the westward of Tolibas. Near its mouth, a shoal bank runs off shore, depending suddenly.

Bagahac peak rises near the central part of the Tanjong Unsang peninsula, in a long slope, about 5 miles north- westward of the Tuneu river.

DARVEL BAY, on the south side of Tanjong Unsang peninsula contains numerous coral reefs, especially on the south side, which when the sun is up may generally be seen from a vessel's deck.

Silam anchorage, in the western part of Darvel bay under mount Bud Silam, is between two reefs which partially dry, but have a narrow, deep passage between them. The Egeria anchored about 14 miles off the village in 11 fathoms.

Three reefs were found by H.M.S. Moorhen in the western part of Darvel bay, 2 miles E. by S. & S. of the mouth of Divatu river. These reefs which break at low water lie in an E.Ñ.E. and W.S.W. direction, and are about a quarter of a mile apart.

Directions.-Vessels visiting Divatu, should bring Saddle island to bear North, and then steer for the northern of the two small islands on a W. by N. N. bearing. Care should be taken to have the sun in the right position for seeing the reefs, which abound in this part of Darvel bay.

TIMBU MATA ISLAND, in the southern part of Darvel bay, is separated from the main land by a sound carrying deep water for about 5 miles up from its southern end; this island, and that of Pulo Gaya form the two most. conspicuous objects on this coast.

Grassy point, forming the south point of Timbu Mata island, is formed by the spur of a hill running down to the water in a north and south direction. Near the water's edge it is fringed with trees, and there are a few on the upper part of the ridge, which otherwise is covered with grass; it is easy to distinguish, being the only comparatively cleared ridge in the neighbourhood.

Gunong Culi Babang is the eastern summit of Timbu Mata island.

PULO GAYA, composed of three islands, shows as a long hill, the two outside islands of which have remarkable conical peaks, and the outline of the centre island is also striking. From the north part of Sibocu bay, Pulo Gaya and Pulo Gava is Timbu Mata island, both of which are thickly wooded, show over the low islands to the southward of them. surrounded by reefs, through which there are many passages. To approach the village on its south side, a passage will be found in round the west point, nothing less than 3 fathoms being found in it by the boat of the Egeria.

Pulo Culi Babang, Boom Boom, and Omadal, are three low, flat, wooded islands.

EGERIA PASSAGE.-To the northward of Omadal is an extensive reef, impassable for a large boat; between this reef and the island is a deep channel, continuing between Omadal and Boom Boom islands, and for about 3 miles to the westward, turning to the southward for 3 miles between two reefs, the passage varying in width from 150 to 400 yards. No native name being known for this channel, it was called after H.M.S. Egeria.

ST. LUCIA BAY.-Discoloured water with ripplings was observed by H.M. Netherlands ship Oenarang, December 18th 1879 in St. Lucia bay. At the distance of 3 cables East of this discoloured water the following were the bearings:-

A small islet with a few shrubs on it lies in latitude 4° 12' N., longitude 118° 54′ E. From it, Si Amil island bears N. 5° W. Reefs extend 4 or 5 miles from this islet in an easterly direction, and it appears to be connected by a reef to Si Amil; this reef is dangerous, as there are no symptoms except breakers about one mile eastward of the islet.

SIBUCO RIVER2 appears to be large and important; its northern entrance point (Large Rock) is in latitude 4° 14 N., longitude 117° 58′ E. Near the flag staff, on the north shore of the river, a small coal depôt has been established by the Dutch for the use of their men-of-war.

Batu Tinagat is a small mushroom-shaped rock, rising from the sea off the north point of the entrance to the Sibuco river. It is about 12 or 15 feet high, and has a few bushes on it. From Batu Tinagat the river trends back a little to the northward of west, and about 5 miles from the entrance, the small river Tawas discharges its waters into the Sibocu. At the entrance of the Tawas river, on the south bank, the Dutch have hoisted their boundary flag. The Sibocu river is here about 4 miles in width, with a deep channel of 8 or 10 fathoms.

Batu Tinagat point was found to be in latitude 4° 14' N., longitude 117° 59' E.; this is the north entrance point. of the Sibocu river, which here appeared to be about 5 miles across.

From Batu Tinagat point, the five fathom line extends in a south-easterly direction for about 7 miles, and a reef extends off a point south of the entrance to the Sibuco river, in latitude 4° 0' N., longitude 117° 55' E. for a distance of 81

miles.

Leading mark.-By steering in, with a cone shaped hill, about 500 feet high, bearing N. 42° W., 9 to 12 fathoms of water may be carried up to the anchorage, which is half a mile southward of the Dutch flag ship, moored near the north shore of the river.

A shoal, about 200 yards in extent, having generally about 24 fathoms over it, but with two shoal heads of only one fathom at low water, 50 yards apart and near its centre, was found by the Egeria. From it the following bearings were taken :—-

Making the Land from the eastward, Sipadan island should not be brought to bear southward of W. S., owing to the extent of the unexamined reefs to the northward. The reefs do not appear to extend further south of Sipadan island than is marked upon the chart.

Making the Sibuco river.-Vessels wishing to enter the Sibuco river should make it on a N.W. bearing, in order to avoid the shoal water extending from Batu Tinagat point, but taking care not to get too far to the southward, as dangers are suspected in that direction. Seaward of Batu Tinagat, northward of a N.W. bearing, the bottom appears to shoal gradually.

The Sibuco river is apparently devoid of a bar, and being capable of admitting the largest ships, is likely to prove of commercial import- (From Remarks of Commander C. Johnstone, H.M.S. Egeria, 1880.)

Approaching from the eastward, Batu Tinagat point will be easily recognised, as from it the land rises into a hill 800 or 900 feet in height, and this hill appears as the left extreme of the near land, until on a bearing slightly to the northward of west, when the hills on the shores of the Sibuco river begin to open. At the same time the distant land forming the south shore of Sibuco bay will appear to the left of Batu Tinagat.

The following information relating to the north-east coast of Borneo has been received from Nav. Lieutenant T. B. Moody, H.M.S. Egeria, Commander C. Johnstone, 1880.

[All Bearings are Magnetic. Variation 1° 20′ Easterly in 1881.]

BORNEO NORTH-EAST COAST.1

THE SHOAL marked position doubtful at about a mile S. W. of Kukuban island, is dark coloured, and difficult to distinguish; it appeared to have from 2 to 3 fathoms of water over it.

The four shoals between Kukuban and Tigabu islands, appear to have from 2 to 3 fathoms over them, except the northern one, which dries at low water.

SAND CAY.-About 4 miles S.S.W. of Tigabu island, is a sand cay, visible for 3 or 4 miles. Between this sand cay and Long island a broken chain of reefs and small detached shoals extends. Discoloured water stretches also in an E. by S. direction from the cay terminating at its eastern end, in a sand patch which dries.

Between Sipindung island and the sand patch which dries at the eastern end of the discoloured water alluded to, are several isolated patches of discoloured water, having passages between, of which the safest appeared to be that nearest Sipindung island. There is also a shoal patch (position doubtful) between Sipindung and Sandy islands.

A 4 fathom shoal in latitude 6° 44′ N., longitude 117° 41′ E., appeared to extend for some distance in a north- west and south-east direction.

A 5 fathom shoal was found with Sandy islet bearing N.W. by W. W., and Tagypil island S. 5° W., and about 14 miles eastward of it, a sunken reef having over it very little water was observed extending N.E. and S.W., with two small detached patches on its south-west side. The Egeria passed between this reef and the north-east of the two patches, obtaining no bottom at 13 fathoms.

MALLAWALLÉ CHANNEL to SANDAKAN.-Directions.-Having passed the Egeria rocks in Mallawallé channel, keep about 4 cables distant from Mallawallé island until Banguey peak is in line with the west extreme of West island then steer between the patches until Kukuban island is on with the north point of Tigabu island, or until the north-eastern of the dangers is passed; then steer so as to pass about 4 cables south of Kukuban island and a cable south of the 3 fathom patch. When, by bearings, it has been ascertained that this 3 fathom patch has been passed, steer to pass 2 cables south of Tigabu island, from thence to pass 6 cables south of Sipindung, one mile south of Sandy islet, and 2 miles north of the Billebillean rocks.

Pass 3 miles eastward of Lankayan island, and giving the Frolic rock a good berth, steer in for Bahala island on a S.S.W. bearing.

SANDAKAN HARBOUR.'-Tusan Duyon, the eastern entrance points of Sandakan harbour is low and bare, except the north part, which is thickly wooded with casuarina trees. Two miles eastward there is a separate clump of casuarina trees, between which and the north point is the mouth of a creek.

The bank extending northward of Tusan Duyon shoals gradually, and has over it, at a distance of 4 miles from the shore in that direction, a depth of 4 fathoms.

The coast between Sandakan harbour and the mouth of the Kinabatangan river has numerous mouths of small rivers or creeks called Tusans, and clumps of casuarina trees, which latter, standing out much higher than the surrounding low woods, bear, at a distance, considerable resemblance to islands.

MAMUYON RIVER.-Five miles eastward of the north point of Tusan Duyon, is another clump of casuarina trees, situated upon the western entrance point to the Mamuyon river.

Soundings of 5 fathoms were obtained 34 miles N. by W. W. of the Mamuyon river mouth, with Taganae bearing N. 2o W., and Bahala island bluff S. 85o W.

A bar dry at low water bears S. by E., distant two miles from the above 5 fathoms, from which position, also, on the same bearing, distant 14 and 3 cables, soundings were obtained in 23 and 13 fathoms.

Directions.—In entering the Mamuyon river it will be found that the entrance between the spit on the east side and the casuarina clump on the western entrance point is about 800 yards across. The shut in by the western entrance point. Midway between the entrance points, a depth of 4 fathoms was obtained. The of Double hill should be kept just gap river continues to the southward narrowing to 300 yards; whilst two tributaries 600 yards in width, branch off in an E. by S. and W. by S. direction.

The coast from the clump of casuarina trees one mile eastward of Mamuyon, trends for 3 miles in a S.E. by E. direction, and has, south-eastward of it, another clump, and a small creek.

Tusan Abai River. 2-The entrance to this river is narrow and intricate, but it probably has a depth of 10 feet at high water. Inside, the river deepens to 5 and 8 fathoms, which it carries up for a distance of 4 miles. The flood tide sets up the river at the rate of 2 knots an hour.

ANCHORAGE.-The Egeria anchored in 18 fathoms, stiff mud, off the mouth of the Kinabatangan river, with the following bearings,—

A shoal, having upon it several heads of 2 fathoms, with a general depth of from 3 to 4 fathoms, the northern end of which bore N. 75° W., distant 3 cables from the position of the Egeria's anchorage just given, was found to be of circular shape and 300 yards across. With a 2 knot tide running, this shoal only showed a slight ripple.

The bar of the Kinabatangan river appeared to extend about 3 miles north-eastward from its mouth, a sounding of 1 fathoms was obtained upon this bar.

To pass south of Nymphe Shoal in coming from the westward, it was found that the best way was to strike soundings in 6 or 7 fathoms off Tusan Abai, and keep in soundings of between 7 and 10 fathoms until the mouth of the Kinabatangan river bears S. 40° W.

In approaching from the eastward, endeavour to strike from 7 to 10 fathoms with the mouth of the Kinabatangan river bearing S. 40° W., and Tusan Abai clump N. 78° W.

PORT ARTHUR." -When approaching from seaward the entrance to this port is easily recognised by a hill 600 feet high, situated at the head of the harbour, eastward of which another hill, 400 feet high, rises over the east entrance point; both of these hills have well-defined summits.

A village with joss houses is situated on the north side of a shallow bay on the east side of the harbour. Entrance. The entrance is 270 yards wide between steep cliffs, close to which there is deep water.

From the north side of the west entrance point a long spit extends in a N.N.E. direction, having a mound on its northern extreme, from which a shoal, steep-to on the eastern side, extends E.N.E. for a distance of 120 yards. On the eastern side close within the entrance, there is a small mound surmounted by a battery and watch house.

Bar. The bar, which is composed of stones and mud, is situated at some distance within the entrance, and has over the shallowest part a depth of 14 feet at low-water springs.

Leading mark.-A knoll on the hill 600 feet high (situated over the head of the harbour) in line with a small house on Observation point bearing North, leads across the bar in a depth of not less than 15 feet.

Caution.-An old fort is situated close east of the house used as a leading mark; care should be taken to avoid mistaking it for the house.

Anchorage. The best anchorage is between the extremity of the western spit and Observation point, where the holding ground is very good, being of soft mud, and only a small scope of cable is necessary.

The Albatross (164 feet long) anchored with house on Observation point, bearing N. 36° E.; Flagstaff, E. 14° N. Knob on mount on east side of entrance, S. 44° E.

From this position, with 18 fathoms of cable out the Albatross found just sufficient swinging room. There is space between the extreme of the western spit and the bar to admit of two small vessels being moored. Tides.-Spring tides rise 8 feet in port Arthur.

CHINA SEA DIRECTORY, VOL. II. NOTICE No. 3.

The following information relating to the Natuna islands has been received from Lieutenant and Commander R. F. Hoskyn, Her Majesty's surveying vessel Flying Fish, 1881.1

(All bearings are Magnetic. Variation 2° 30′ Easterly in 1881.)

SOUTH NATUNA ISLANDS.

Low Island about 3 miles long east and west, 2 miles broad, and densely wooded, rises gradually to an ill-defined summit, 545 feet high (top of trees). This island is surrounded by a coral reef, but landing may generally be obtained on the lee side. During the north-east monsoon there is no difficulty in landing on the south side at high water.

Shoal water extends off the western side of the island, terminating in a patch of coral with 4 fathoms water, at a distance of 2 miles W. by S. S. from the south-west point of the island.

On the north side there are many extensive reefs, time, however, did not admit of their being examined. The passage north of Low island should not be attempted.

There are a few inhabitants on Low island who appear to live principally by fishing; they also cultivate cocoa palms. Some goats were seen, but these the natives would not part with.

Jackson Reefs lie on the east side of Low island between the bearings of E. by N. & N. and S. E. by E.E. from the eastern point. Its inner edge is distant about 2 miles, and the outer about 3 miles from that point. The reefs are irregular in form, bearing(within the 5 fathom line) some resemblance to a horse shoe open to the eastward, and the depth of water varies between 3 and 7 fathoms.

The passage between Jackson reefs and Low island is not recommended.

CHINA SEA DIRECTORY, VOL. II.

NOTICE No. 4.

The following description of the eastern entrance to Haïnan strait, with the off-lying banks, and Taya islands, has been drawn up from remarks made by Lieutenant Chapman, H.M. surveying vessel Magpie, Captain Napier, 1880.1

(All Bearings are Magnetic. Variation 1° 30′ Easterly in 1881.)

TAYA ISLANDS, separated from Haïnan island by a channel 15 miles wide with 13 to 29 fathoms water, consist of two groups of high, almost inaccessible, barren islands, seven in number, with some off-lying rocks.

The north-east group consits of four islands; North Taya island, 648 feet high, the northernmost and largest, is in lat. At half a mile 19° 59′ 05′′ N., long. 111° 16'-25′′ E., and can be seen in clear weather from a distance of 28 to 30 miles.

S. by W. from this island lies Perforated island, 375 feet high, and perforated in the centre. An islet (cone shaped) of the same height lies close off its south-west end. The southernmost island of this group lies S.S.W. W. 14 miles from North Taya island, and is 388 feet high.

The south-west group consist of three islands, the northernmost of which, 175 feet high, is very small. The middle and largest of this group situated S. by E. three-quarters of a mile from the northernmost island, is about the same size as North Taya island and has three peaks, the highest is 456 feet high, there is also a rock off its north-east side. South Taya island, 276 feet high, at 2 miles S. by E. E., from the northernmost of this group, is small and makes as two islands from the northward and eastward.

There is a safe passage 34 miles wide between the two groups, with 20 to 33 fathoms water. 2

Anchorage.-Temporary anchorage may be obtained in 20 fathoms, mud, about one mile S. W. of North Taya island, hut a swell rolls round the island during the north-east monsoon.

MOUNT TONCON, the summit of a range of hills 1,229 feet high, on the east side of Haïnan island, in lat. 19° 40′ N., long. 111 1' E., can be seen from a distance of 40 miles.

MOFOU HILL, a remarkable black hill 655 feet high, bears N.N.W. W. 19 miles from mount Toncon, and can be seen from a distance of 30 miles.3

MOFOU POINT, extending N.E. 44 miles from Mofou hill, is sandy, and has a reef of rocks off it. This point can be rounded with safety in 1 fathoms water at a distance of 2 miles.

The Coast from Mofou point trends W.S. W. for 5 miles with a coral reef extending one mile off shore, thence W.N.W., terminating in a point (N.W. W. 71⁄2 miles from Mofou hill) having a reef of rocks some of which are above water, exten- ding to the north-eastward 11⁄2 miles. From this point the coast trends N.N.W. W. 8 miles to Haïnan point, the north- east extreme of Hainan head, this point is low and rocky, terminating in a ledge of rocks, the outer of which lies half a mile off shore, and dries 4 feet at low water springs.

See Admiralty charts -China sea, northern portion, No. 2661a; Tong-King gulf, No. 2062; Haïnan to Macao, No. 1246; Haïnan strait, with plan of Inner passage, No. 876; and plan of Hoi-How bay, No. 37: Also, China Sea Directory, Vol. II., second edition, 1879, pages 389-402; and Hydrographic Notice, No. 9 of 1881.

The Magpie passed between South Taya island and the next island to the northward this passage appeared free from danger; also between North Taya and the next island S. by W. of it, but this channel should not be taken unless in a case of emergency, and then great caution is necessary, as there is a rock awash nearly halfway between the islands. There is also a passage with 20 fathoms between the North and Middle islands of the south-western group.

• Mount Toncon and Mofou hill bear a remarkable resemblance to one another when first seen at a distance from the eastward.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 19TH NOVEMBER, 1881.

1027

HAÏNAN HEAD about 180 feet high, situated N.W. 15 miles from Mofou hill, is composed chiefly of sand, having at its north-west extreme a flat-topped mound, Haïnan bluff,1 173 feet high, from this bluff the land rises gradually nearly a mile in a south-east direction to the highest part of the head, thence it slopes, merging into the low sand hills of which the coast between Haïnan head and Mofou point consists; it is covered with short scrub almost to the water, which continues for abont one mile to the S.E., where all vegetation ceases except a few isolated green patches.

A pinnacle rock lies S.E. S. 11⁄2 miles from Haïnan point, and half a mile from the shore, also some detached rocks skirt the shore at half a mile distance, for 11⁄2 miles in a south-easterly direction from the point.

A sand bank, 3 feet above high water, and of small extent, lies E. N. 32 miles from Haïnan bluff, having shoal water with rocks extending W. by N. 4 N. 24 miles, S.S.W. three quarters of a mile, and E. by S. 2 S. 7 miles from it; there is a patch of sand which uncovers at low water springs 24 miles È. by S. 2 S. from this bank.

The Coast from Haïnan point trends south-west one mile to Haïnan bluff, off which a rock 7 feet high lies W. by S. nearly half a mile, there is anotlier rock 2 feet above high water at the same distance northwestward, thence the coast curves gradually to the south-west 34 miles, west 23 miles, and south-west 13 miles to Pochin point.

A fringe of rocks extends for a quarter of a mile off this coast, and there are several rocks above water in the western part of the bay.

The coast is sand, backed by low sand hills and covered with scrub, with occasional trees; there is a single palm on the ridge in the eastern part of the bay.

Pochin Hill and Pagoda.-Pochin hill situated S.W. W. 53 miles from Haïnan bluff, has seven peaks (but seldom more than four are visible at the same time), the highest of which, 459 feet high, has on it a large pagoda surmounted by a red ball; this hill slopes gradually towards Pochin point, where it merges into the sand hills of which the coast it formed.

At 14 miles S.S.E. from Pochin hill lies another flat topped hill with a small hummock in its centre 383 feet above the level of the sea.

Pochin point, situated W. by N. 14 miles from Pochin pagoda, is composed of sand with a reef of rocks 10 feet above high water extending to the westward half a mile.

There are also two rocks off Pochin point lying respectively N. W. W. 13 miles and N. by E. E. 13 miles from the pagoda.

The Coast from Pochin point trends in a southerly direction for 4 miles to the entrance of Pochin lagoon, thence- W. by N. 12 miles to Backsha point, the shore from Pochin point to the entrance of the lagoon is faced with rocks to a distance of one mile, and must be approached with caution.

Pochin Lagoon entrance may be easily recognised by a well defined gap in the low land which gradually increases in height towards Pochin point; there are depths of 18 to 21 feet within, but a bar with 7 to 8 feet on it at high water springs renders it useless except for junks.2

The Coast from the western entrance of the lagoon is low and sandy to Backsha point, intersected by a few creeks, and backed by trees from 1 to 2 miles inland.

Backsha Spit3 is half a mile broad and extends E. by N. & N. 94 miles from Backsha point, it dries one foot in the centre at low water springs, and has one to 12 feet water on its eastern end; the western part may be crossed in 18 feet at low water about 2 miles E. by N. N. from Backsha point.

Its eastern extreme lies W.N.W. 64 miles from Pochin pagoda.

Pochin Bay, formed by the coast between Backsha and Pochin points, has two good anchorages. The bay abounds with heavy fishing stakes1 that are liable to foul the propeller of a steam vessel if not stopped when passing through them.

ANCHORAGES.-There are several anchorages between the eastern entrance to the Inner passage and Hoi-How. At 5 miles S.S.E. 3 E. from Hainan point there is anchorage in 7 fathoms, sand, one mile off shore, which is slightly protected by the shoals to the northward.

With Haïnan bluff bearing N.E. one mile, an anchorage in 6 fathoms, mud, may be taken up, but this is also open to the northward.

There is good holding ground West 14 miles from Pochin point in 74 fathoms, sand and mud. Also good anchorage in 3 fathoms for a small vessel off Pochin lagoon, with Pochin point bearing N.E. distant 3 miles; but these are not at all protected from northerly winds and consequently a sea soon gets up.

The best anchorage is in Kien-chu roads in 5 fathoms, stiff mud, with Pochin pagoda bearing N. 85° E. and Kien-chu pagoda S. 44° W. The Magpie rode out a typhoon at this anchorage, being protected from the northward by Backsha spit

There are also two good anchorages with northerly winds on the north side of the strait, in Hai-an bay, with the White Fort (60 feet high) bearing N.N.W. distant 11⁄2 miles, in 5 fathoms, mud; and in Hongham bay with the East point of the bay bearing E.N.E. distant one mile, in 7 fathoms, mud.

HAÏNAN BANKS.-These dangerous sand-banks upon which the sea usually (but not always) breaks in either the N.E. monsoon or an easterly swell, have deep water channels between, but extreme caution is necessary in using them, as the tides are uncertain, and the shoals far from land. These channels should not be used at night, or in thick weather.

The following is a description of the different banks, their extremes being taken from the 5-fathom line.

North-east Bank, with 24 feet over it at low water springs, is one mile long north and south, and half-a-mile broad its north-east extreme is in lat. 20° 25′ 55′′ N., long. 110° 58′ E.

North Bank.-The eastern extreme of this bank is in lat. 20° 22′ 30′′ N., long. 110° 58′ 20′′ E. It extends to the westward 7 miles, with an averge breadth of about a mile; on its western end there is a rock with 3 feet water, at 14 miles S.S.W. of which there is a depth of 21 feet.

Seal Bank is 5 miles long in an east and west direction, 3 miles broad at its western end and half a mile at its easteru. the latter being in lat. 20° 23′ 30′′ N., long. 110° 49′ 24′′ E. The least water is 12 feet.

Shoal water exists at a distance of 5 or 6 miles northward and southwestward of Seal bank, but the examination did not extend beyond this.

It is 54 miles long

West Bank.-The eastern extreme of this bank is in lat. 20° 17′ 20′′ N., long. 110° 43′ 35′′ E. in an east and west direction, half-a mile broad at its eastern, and 12 miles at its western ends with 3 feet least water.

This bluff, though not the highest part of Haïnan head, is the most conspicuous except when approaching by Inner passage. There is a small fort at the entrance of the lagoon.

* The sand banks off Hoi-How which form Backsha point as well as Hoi-How spit are liable to alteration during heavy weather.

• These stakes are occasionally shifted.

1028 THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 19TH NOVEMBER, 1881.

South Banks, four in number, lie on the south side of the Middle channel; the north-westernmost bank, with 12 feet water, is 5 miles long in an east and west direction, and three quarters of a mile broad; its eastern end is in lat. 20° 11'50" N., long. 110° 52′ 20′′ E. the north-easternmost bank is 34 miles long N.E. by E. and S.W. by W., and half-a-mile broad, with 15 feet on its S.W. and 24 feet on its N.E. end, which is in lat. 20° 14′ 20′′ N., long. 110° 54′ 40′′ E. The south-easternmost bank, with 16 feet on it, is 2 miles long in an east and west direction, and half-a-mile broad; its eastern extreme is in lat. 20° 11′ 10′′ N., long. 110° 55′ 40′′ E. The southernmost bank, situated S.W. 2 miles from the south-east bank, is 3 miles long, one mile broad, and has 18 feet on it at low water springs.

Little Bank, the east extreme of which lies N.W. by N. 34 miles from Haïnan bluff, is composed of sand 2 miles long and a quarter of a mile broad; the least water is 10 feet, with deep water close around.

Sheldrake Islet is a sand bank 7 feet high, 44 miles long, E.N.E. and W.S.W; and three quarters of a mile, broad; its eastern end which marks the entrance to Nowchow passage is in lat. 20° 23′ 10′′ N., long. 110° 37′ 10′′ E.

Overfalls. Heavy overfalls or tide rips exist all over Haïnan strait, but especially between Haïnan point and Little bank, and to the northward of Little bank.

There are also patches of discoloured water, which, however, are chiefly composed of minute algæ.

DIRECTIONS.-A vessel bound through Haïnan strait from the eastward can either proceed between the Haïnan banks by the North; or Middle channel; or, first make the Taya islands, and proceed through South channel and Inner passage round Mofou point and Haïnan head.

If taking either of the channels between the banks, a position by observation before nearing them is desirable, as they do not always break, and the soundings, being irregular, give but little notice of approach.

North Channel.-From a position in lat. 20° 29′ N., long. 111° 00' E., a S.W. W. course leads through the North channel, (when Pochin pagoda is sighted it should be well open to the westward of Haïnan bluff,) and when Haïnan bluff bears S. by W. W., a W. by S. S. course (allowing for tide) will lead north of Little bank to abreast Backsha point fishing stakes, when a course may be shaped for the anchorage in Hoi-How bay.

Middle Channel.-Being in lat.20° 19′ N., long. 111° 0′ E., a W. by S. & S. course will lead 5 miles north of Haïnan bluff, passing clear of all banks, to abreast Backsha fishing stakes.

pass

South Channel and Inner Passage.1-Having made North Taya island, a course should be shaped so as to Mofou point at about 2 miles distance, after which a W.N.W. course (allowing for tide) will lead towards Haïnau head. When within 3 miles of Haïnan point, great caution is necessary to avoid the outlying rocks on the western, and the shoal water off the sand bank on the eastern side, which narrows the channel to half-a-mile. There is also a spit running out from the shore, with as little as 10 feet of water on it, the eastern extreme of which lies S.E. by E. 44 miles from Haïnan bluff.

When Hainan point extreme bears N.W. by W. W., the sand bank 3 feet high N.E. by E., and Pochin pagoda just seen over the high sand hills (from a height of 18 feet), and bearing S.W. by W. W., a course of N.W. N. (allowing for strong tide) should be shaped so as to pass 2 or 3 cables from the outer rock (dries 4 feet) off Haïnan point.

After rounding this rock and when Pochin pagoda is again sighted clear of the rocks off Haïnan bluff bearing S.W., a W. S. course will lead south of Little bank to abreast Backsha point.

Caution is necessary should the flood stream be running not to be set towards Backsha spit.

Tides. It is high water, full and change, at Haïnan bluff, at 10 h. 35 m.; springs rise 6 feet, neaps 4 feet, neaps range 2 feet. There are two high and two low tides in the 24 hours which are regular at full and change, but not so at the first and last quarter. The flood stream runs generally for about 12 hours, as also does the ebb stream (there being hardly any slack water); the latter commences between the 5th and 6th hour after high water by the shore.

knots.

In the North channel the flood sets S.W. by W. from one to 3 knots an hour, and the ebb N.E. by E. from one to 3

In the Middle channel the flood sets N.N.W. from 1 to 3 knots, and the ebb N.E. by E. one to 3 knots.

On the South banks the ebb sets E.S.E. one to 3 knots.

In the Inner passage the flood sets N.N.W. from one to 3 knots, and the ebb S.S.E. 1 to 3 knots, but at Haïnau point the tide is very strong (4 to 5 knots at springs) and irregular.

In the strait off Little bank the flood sets to the south-west 3 knots towards Pochin lagoon.

Winds.-Sharp squalls lasting from 10 to 20 minutes are common in Haïnan strait during the months of June and July, often blowing with a force of 6 to 8; these squalls are generally preceded by a blue haze or tint over the land, and are very dangerous to boats under sail or with awnings spread.

The following is a table showing the average force and direction of the winds, from May to September, deduced from the observations of the Magpie.

CHINA SEA DIRECTORY, VOL. I.

NOTICE No. 5.

The following information relating to Carimata strait has been received from Lieutenant and Commander R. F. Hoskyn, H.M. surveying vessel Flying Fish, 1881.1

[All Bearings are Magnetic. Variation 1° 20′ Easterly in 1881.]

CARIMATA STRAIT.

TIDES. From the limited nature of the observations obtained no precise rule with regard to the tides in Carimata strait can be laid down. The following is a general summary, and may perhaps be useful :-

On the 8th August 1880 it was high water at Soruetou island, West point, about 11h. Om. p.m.; this would give the approximate time of high water at full and change, at about 9h. 30m. The stream while the tide was rising ran south.

On the 18th August 1880, at Sulphur point, Rendezvous island, it was high water about 8h. Om. p.m.; this also would give an approximate time of high water at full and change, at about 9h. 30m. The rising tide ran to the southward. For the three preceding days the Flying Fish had been at anchor a few miles south-west of Sulphur point, where the tides ran N.N.W. and S.S.E., with a velocity of 1 to 2 knots the north going stream running from 16 to 18 hours, and the south from 4 to 6 hours. The south-east monsoon was blowing strong the whole time.

At East island, Montaran group, observations on the 21st, 22nd, and 23rd August gave the time of high water at full and change, at 9h. 40m.; the greatest rise and fall was 4 feet 6 inches, on the 21st; but from the appearance of the beach, it is probable that it often exceeds this. No regularity in the change of stream was observed. On one occasion it ran for four consecutive days to the N.W., the south-east monsoon was blowing fresh at the time.

In the neighbourhood of the Greig shoals no regularity at all could be detected. The greatest rise and fall registered was 7 feet on 10th October, and 8 feet 11th October (new moon at 17h. on the 3rd October); the rising tid southward. There would appear to be but one high water in twenty-four hours at any of the above places.

MONTARAN ISLANDS.

Observatory island, situated on a reef about one mile east of Napier island, in lat. 2° 38′ 10′′ S., long. 108° 31 48" E., is small and sandy, having on it a few trees.

Napier island, is a densely wooded island, about three quarters of a mile long and 90 feet high, it is surrounded by coral reefs, which on the north and north-west sides extend about three quarters of a mile, and on the east and south-east sides nearly 2 miles.

Lenore reef, situated N.W.

N. from the north point of Napier island, is small, composed of coral with 9 feet water on it, and deep water close around.

Another reef, with 4 fathoms water, lies 3 miles north of Napier island. There may possibly be less water on this reef, as it was not closely examined.

Sambilan, situated about three quarters of a mile west of the south point of Nangka island, is a sandy islet covered with trees and surrounded by a reef,

Nangka island, the most prominent of the Montaran islands, is 14 miles long and three quarters of a mile broad; it rises in two densely wooded peaks, which at a distance appear like two separate islands. The southern peak is 549 feet high, and the northern peak 415 feet high.

This island is surrounded by a coral reef, the edge of which, on the north-west side, is half a mile distant from the shore. Tekong Gemok, is a small islet about 50 feet high. Close to the north point of Nangka island.

West group consists of three islands lying about S. by E. of Nangka island. Nyamok, the northernmost, is distant about 2 miles, Gampal, the southernmost and largest, about 3 miles from the south point of Nangka island. These islands appear low, consisting merely of mangroves and other trees growing on coral reef. At 2 miles west of the south point of Gampal is a reef with less than 6 feet water. The passage between Gampal and Napier island should not be used.

High bank, situated about 2 miles east of Gampal, is nearly 2 miles long, north and south. On the south end of it is a small patch of dead coral 3 feet high.

Middle group consists of four islands, three of which are composed of sand, surrounded by coral reefs and covered with trees. The fourth and largest is a reef, the greater part of which is covered with mangroves.

Warren reef is a small bank of dead coral 5 feet high.

Gubbins reef is a large reef, having near the middle a bank of dead coral 3 feet high. This reef is nearly connected with the Middle group by two other reefs. Also between it and Warren reef are several smaller reefs. At 1 miles E.N.E. of Gubbins reef is another large reef.

East island, the northern point of which is in lat. 2° 29′ 33′′ S., and long. 108° 51′ 9′′ E., is the easternmost of the Montaran islands. It is about half a mile in extent north and south, is of coral formation, thickly wooded, and surrounded by a sandy beach. The trees in the centre form a sharp pointed summit 112 feet high.

Small island, 66 feet high, situated 13 miles S.S.W. W. from East island, is composed of sand about one third of a mile long north and south, surrounded by a reef, and covered with a few stunted trees.

Justina reef, lying E. by S. S., distant 14 miles from East island, is awash at low water, but near it and Sinall island are several other reefs.

Whittingham reef, lying 2 miles N.E. by E. E. from East island, is small with 24 fathoms water. of the triangle formed by this reef, East island and Justina reef, is a small patch of 9 feet.

1030 THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 19TH NOVEMBER, 1881.

Catherine or Evans reef, situated E.

4 fathoms was the least water found on this reef.

S., distant 44 miles from East island, is probably the easternmost danger;

Vessels using the Carimata strait are advised to pass to the eastward of it, as there is no passage between the Montaran islands that can be recommended.

The Montaran islands are not inhabited, but are occasionally visited by fishermen. CONDOR BANK.-The reported position of this bank, bearing from Nangka island N. by E. E., distant 8 miles, was carefully sounded over without finding any shoal water. But on proceeding on the same bearing from Nangka island a reef was discovered in lat. 2° 13′ 20′′ S., and long. 108° 38′ 15′′ E., this is considered to be Condor reef. From it Nangka island peak bears S. 15° 41′ W. (True), distant 18 miles. The least water is 3 fathoms. Within a distance of half a mile are several patches of 8 and 10 fathoms, beyond this distance the depth is over 20 fathoms.

ONTARIO REEF.-This dangerous reef, situated in lat. 2° 0′ 55" S., and long. 108° 38′ 55" E., is composed of On dead coral about 24 cables long. E.S.E. and W.N.W., and at half tide a patch obout 20 yards in diameter uncovers. the S.W. side of this reef there are 18 to 22 fathoms close to; at a distance of one mile N.W. there is a patch of 11 fathoms, and another of 7 fathoms lies N.N.E., distant three quarters of a mile, between these two patches and the reef the bottom is very uneven, in some places there being as little as 5 fathoms. At half a mile E.S.E. of the reef there is a depth of 10

fathoms.

WALLER ROCK, said to lie about 3 miles westward of the Ontario reef. The Flying Fish was at anchor in this position for more than one day. No indication of shoal water could be discovered in the neighbourhood. This rock has consequently been removed from the chart.

RIVAL REEF, reported to be in lat. 1° 47′ S., long. 108° 15 E. The Flying Fish was at anchor in the neighbour- hood of this reef for more than two days. No indication of a shoal could be found within a radius of 3 miles of the reported position; the depths obtained averaging about 22 fathoms, bottom principally mud. This reef has consequently been removed from the chart.

CARIMATA ISLAND.-Carimata peak, in lat., 1° 36′ 18′′ S., long. 108° 51′ 29′′ E., is 3,378 feet high, and in clear weather can be seen from a distance of 55 or 60 miles, but as a general rule it is obscured by clouds.

Bliang is a round conical island, the summit of which (1,301 feet high) is situated in lat. 1° 35' 0" S., and long. 108° 46' 27" E.; it can be seen for 30 miles or more, and generally forms a good mark, as it nearly always remains clear when the higher hills are obscured.

Tongado is a small round topped island 790 feet high.

Hooghly rocks.-The reported position of these rocks (lat. 1° 35′ S., long. 108° 12′ E.) was traversed on two separate occasions by the ship and boats. No rocks were seen above water, nor was any indication of shoal water obtained by the lead. These rocks have consequently been removed from the chart.

With regard to these rocks, which were said to have been seen at night, I may here observe, that on three different occasions whilst at work in the neighbourhood of the Greig and Gwalia shoals, large floating masses of vegetable matter and other débris were fallen in with. One of these was so large that it could be seen from the bridge at a distance of 7 or 8 miles, and so dense that at a moderate distance it might readily have been mistaken in daylight for a rock. hore a striking resemblance to a small sand bank with a bush on it, and was visible from 5 to 6 miles.

Another

Wellesley shoal, (doubtful), said to lie in lat. 1° 18′ S., and long. 108° 34′ 30′′ E. No indication of shoal water could be found within a radius of 3 miles of this position. This shoal has consequently been removed from the chart.

LEEMA ISLANDS are a low group not visible from the deck of a ship for more than 15 or 16 miles. The highest point is in lat. 1° 17′ 30′′ S., and long. 108° 54′ 10′′ E.

CRESCENT SHOAL, (doubtful), said to lie in lat. 1° 10′ S., and long. 108° 38′ E. could be found within 4 miles east and west, and 2 miles north and south of this position. been removed from the chart.

No indication of shoal water This shoal has consequently

GWALIA SHOAL.2--The wreck of the Gwalia lies in lat. 1° 6′ 27′′ S., and long. 108° 34′ 7′′ E., on the southern On the west side edge of a round coral patch about 2 cables in diameter, which has less tha. 6 feet on it at low water. the depth close to is between 9 and 11 fathoms. On the south and east sides from 7 to 10 fathoms. On the north there is a small outlying patch of 2 fathoms, distant about 2 cables from the wreck.

ERIKSON SHOAL, in lat. 1° 4′ 20′′ S., long. 108° 32′ 50′′ E., consists of coral about 2 cables long north and south, At a distance of one cable on the north and east sides there is with a depth of water varying between 4 and 5 fathoms.

a depth of 10 to 11 fathoms, and on the south and west sides 7 to 8 fathoms.

CHINA SHOAL.-The centre of this shoal in lat. 0° 58′ 0′′ S., and long. 108° 31′ 55′′ E., is composed of coral about 5 cables long, N.N.W. and S.S.E., and 3 cables broad. The depth of water on it varies from less than 6 feet to 4 fathoms.

GREIG SHOALS.-South Greig shoal is a small patch of coral with 5 fathoms water on it.

Middle Greig shoal, with 12 feet water on it, is about 2 cables in length, N.N.W. and S.S.E. It is steep-to on the south and west sides, there being 10 to 14 fathoms close to its edge; on the north and east sides, the soundings are more gradual.

North Greig shoal, in lat. 0° 52′ 45′′ S., long. 108° 33′ 5′′ E., has 4 fathoms water on it. This shoal is of very small extent; at a distance of one cable all round the depth varies between 11 and 13 fathoms.

Columbus shoal, reported to have a depth of 5 fathoms, and to lie in lat. 0° 51' S., and long. 108° 16' E.; this shoal with much adjoining ground was sounded over by the ship and boats without obtaining any indication of shoal water. This shoal has consequently been removed from the chart.

Caution. These shoals, embraced between the Gwalia and North Greig shoals, rise from a depth of 10 to 13 fathoms. They are rarely visible either from the deck or mast head, and from the green nature of the surrounding bottom, and the abruptness with which they rise, the lead will seldom give sufficient warning to enable a danger to be avoided. Vessels are therefore recommended to give this neighbourhood a wide berth. On the western side of the reefs this may always be secured by keeping in not less than 16 fathoms water.

PYRAMID or BOAN ISLAND, in lat. 1° 29′ 8′′ S., and long. 108° 3′ 5′′ E., is about 1,000 feet high. PANAMBUNGAN ISLAND.-The south peak of this island is in lat. 1° 14′ 16′′ S., and long. 109° 14′ 8′′ E. Hydrographic Office, Admiralty, London, 16th September, 1881.

BELL & EDISUN'S SYSTEM. Permission having been granted by the Government to establish a Telephone Exchange in Hongkong, the above Company hereby begs to invite Subscriptions from the Public.

Throughout Europe and America Telephone Exchanges have already gained such a reputa- tion by facilitating daily intercourse and by ensuring the safety of private and public pro- perty, that they may now be considered indis- pensable in all large Cities and Business Centres. Hongkong with its vast commercial transactions and valuable property, is essen- tially a place where a well conducted Tele-

All maintenance expenses of Instruments and wires are included in the above price, and the subscribers will have nothing to pay beyond the fixed annual charge.

The Central Office will be under competent supervision, and an efficient staff of clerks will be in attendance during office hours.

The Company will also undertake to make private arrangements for persons wishing to be in direct communication with their offices, godowns, etc., and to take over the mainte- nance of such lines at a reasonable charge.

In order to expedite the work, subscribers are requested to send in their names to the undersigned agent at an early date.

Should sufficient support not be received, the Company is not bound to establish the Exchange.

phone Exchange will be of the greatest use,THE

and in laying this Prospectus before the Public, the Company hopes that it may count upon the general support not only of the merchants and professional members of the Community, but also of the different Govern- ment Departments in order to render the service as efficient as possible.

The Exchange will be worked in the follow- ing way, viz.: a Head Office will be established in the central part of the town provided with the best Telephone appliances according to the newest and most approved European and American inventions. Each subscriber will be supplied with a complete set of Instruments, and will be put in direct communication with the central office by separate wires.

When wishing to use the Telephone, a Sub- scriber will only have to call the Central Station and give the name of the party he wishes to speak with, the wires are then immediately switched together, and the two Subscribers will be in direct communication with each other. When they have finished, the Central Office is notified to that effect by a Bell Signal, the wires are then disconnected, and any other connection can be made if desired, and so on. The dialogue between the subscribers is of course quite private, and can only be heard by the two parties concerned. It should distinctly be understood that the messages are not spoken to the Central Office, and thence transmitted to the person to be communicated with, but the two wires are simply switched together, thus forming one continuous line, over which conversation can be carried with perfect casc and privacy.

The Central Office will, if practicable, be open to the general public, so that any person can thence communicate with the Subscribers. For this service non-subscribers would have to pay a small fee according to the time they occupy the wire.

The Telephones used by the Company are the Combination-Bell-Edison. These Instru- ments, which are far superior to all other Te- lephones on account of their great distinctness of sound, combined with easy management, have met with unrivalled success throughout the world, and are now also adopted by the British Government Departments in England and India.

The subscription fee will to some extent depend upon the number of subscribers, but the price will not exceed $150 per annum for town subscribers. The following boundaries will be taken as terminating the town, viz., West, The Gas Works. East,--Police Station No. 2. Road, etc. Subscribers outside these limits South,--Caine Road and Kennedy

would have to pay a proportionally higher charge according to the length of wire required and the difficulties to be overcome in con- structing and maintaining the line. The sub- scription will be binding for one year, payable quarterly in advance.

nance of such lines at a reasonable charge.

In order to expedite the work, subscribers are requested to send in their names to the undersigned agent at an carly date.

Should sufficient support not be received, the Company is not bound to establish the Exchange.

A. SUENSON,

Superintendent.

Hongkong, November 10th, 1881.

BELL & EDISON'S SYSTEM. Permission having been granted by the Government to establish a Telephone Exchange in Hongkong, the above Company hereby begs to invite Subscriptions from the Public.

Throughout Europe and America Telephone N

Exchanges have already gained such a reputa- tion by facilitating daily intercourse and by ensuring the safety of private and public pro- perty, that they may now be considered indis- pensable in all large Cities and Business Centres. Hongkong with its vast commercial transactions and valuable property, is essen- tially a place where a well conducted Tele- phone Exchange will be of the greatest use, and in laying this Prospectus before the Public, the Company hopes that it may count upon the general support not only of the merchants and professional members of the Community, but also of the different Govern- ment Departments in order to render the service as efficient as possible.

The Exchange will be worked in the follow ing way, viz.: a Head Office will be established in the central part of the town provided with the best Telephone appliances according to the newest and most approved European and American inventions. Each subscriber will be supplied with a complete set of Instruments, and will be put in direct communication with the central office by separate wires.

When wishing to use the Telephone, a Sub- scriber will only have to call the Central Station and give the name of the party he wishes to speak with, the wires are then immediately switched together, and the two Subscribers will be in direct communication with each other. When they have finished, the Central Office is notified to that effect by a Bell Signal, the wires are then disconnected, and any other connection can be made if desired, and so on. The dialogue between the subscribers is of course quite private, and can only be heard by the two parties concerned. It should distinctly be understood that the messages are not spoken to the Central Office, and thence transmitted to the person to be communicated with, but the two wires are simply switched together, thus forming one continuous line, over which conversation can be carried with perfect ease and privacy.

The Central Office will, if practicable, be open to the general public, so that any person can thence communicate with the Subscribers. For this service non-subscribers would have to pay a small fee according to the time they Occupy the wire.

The Telephones used by the Company are the Combination-Bell-Edison. These Instru- ments, which are far superior to all other Te- lephones on account of their great distinctness of sound, combined with easy management, have met with unrivalled success throughout the world, and are now also adopted by the British Government Departinents in England

and India.

The subscription fee will to some extent depend upon the number of subscribers, but the price will not exceed $150 per annum for town subscribers. The following boundaries will be taken as terminating the town, viz., West, The Gas Works. East,-Police Station No. 2. South,--Caine Road and Kennedy Road, etc. Subscribers outside these limits would have to pay a proportionally higher charge according to the length of wire required and the difficulties to be overcome in con- structing and maintaining the line. The sub- scription will be binding for one year, payable quarterly in advance.

All maintenance expenses of Instruments and wires are included in the above price, and the subscribers will have nothing to pay beyond the fixed annual charge.

The Central Office will be under competent supervision, and an efficient staff of clerks will be in attendance during office hours.

CANTON INSURANCE OFFICE.

OTICE is hereby given, that an Extra- ordinary General Meeting of the Share- holders in the Canton Insurance Office will be held at the Company's Office on THURSDAY, the 8th day of December, 1881, at Three of the clock in the afternoon, for the purpose of con- sidering, and if thought fit, passing, the sub- joined Resolution :—

ensuring the safety of private and public pro- perty, that they may now be considered indis- pensable in all large Cities and Business Centres. Hongkong with its vast commercial transactions and valuable property, is essen- tially a place where a well conducted Tele- phone Exchange will be of the greatest use, and in laying this Prospectus before the Public, the Company hopes that it may count upon the general support not only of the merchants and professional members of the Community, but also of the different Govern- ment Departments in order to render the service as efficient as possible.

The Exchange will be worked in the follow- ing way, viz.: a Head Office will be established in the central part of the town provided with the best Telephone appliances according to the newest and most approved European and American inventions. Each subscriber will be supplied with a complete set of Instruments, and will be put in direct communication with the central office by separate wires.

When wishing to use the Telephone, a Sub- scriber will only have to call the Central Station and give the name of the party he wishes to speak with, the wires are then immediately switched together, and the two Subscribers will be in direct communication with each other. When they have finished,¦ the Central Office is notified to that effect by a Bell Signal, the wires are then disconnected, and any other connection can be made if desired, and so on. The dialogue between the subscribers is of course quite private, and can only be heard by the two parties concerned. It should distinctly be understood that the messages are not spoken to the Central Office, and thence transmitted to the person to be communicated with, but the two wires are simply switched together, thus forming one continuous line, over which conversation can be carried with perfect ease and privacy.

The Central Office will, if practicable, be open to the general public, so that any person can thence communicate with the Subscribers. For this service non-subscribers would have to pay a small fee according to the time they occupy the wire.

The Telephones used by the Company are the Combination-Bell-Edison. These Instru- ments, which are far superior to all other Te- lephones on account of their great distinctness of sound, combined with easy management, have met with unrivalled success throughout the world, and are now also adopted by the British Government Departments in England and India.

The subscription fee will to some extent depend upon the number of subscribers, but the price will not exceed $150 per annum for town subscribers. The following boundaries will be taken as terminating the town, viz., West, The Gas Works. East,-Police Station No. 2. South, Caine Road and Kennedy Road, etc. Subscribers outside these limits would have to pay a proportionally higher

CHINA SEA-SINGAPORE STRAIT.

SOUTH CHANNEL, EASTERN APPROACH.

(1) Reported Shoal and Position of Wreck.

Information has been received of the reported existence of a shoal, lying about 5 miles northward of Tanjong Brakit, eastern approach to the South channel, Singapore strait :---

The position of this danger (Hansa shoal), on which the German ship Hansa is reported to have struck, is described as follows by the Master of that vessel—

The Hansa had proceeded on a W.N.W. course for a few minutes after the following bearings were taken, when she struck (afterwards foundering):

Pulo Brakit,

Horsburgh lighthouse,

.S.S.W.

W. N.

Soundings of 5, 8 and 13 fathoms were obtained near the shoal by the ship after getting afloat. Position approximate, lat. 1° 18' 30" N., long. 104° 35′ 45′′ E.

Note. This shoal has been unsuccessfully searched for by the German vessel of war Freya-its position therefore must be considered doubtful.

(2) Position of Wreck.

The wreck of the Hansa with the upper topsails showing above water, is stated to lie in 14 fathoms water, with the following bearings, viz. :—

Bintang Little hill,.

Horsburgh lighthouse,..

FOREIGN OFFICE,

November 1st, 1881.

SIR, I am directed by Earl Granville to acquaint you that Her Majesty's Government have recently had under their consideration a question which has been raised by the Sanitary Board of one of the British Colonies. It is desired that as regards the recognition by them of Bills of Health issued by the Local Authorities of Foreign Ports, the Bill should bear the Endorsement of the British Consul at the Port of Departure as a guarantee that it has been issued by the proper Sanitary Authority of such Port, and that the statements contained therein as to the health of the district are worthy of credit. Under these circumstances, Her Majesty's Government deem it advisable that in cases where a British Vessel may require a Bill of Health on leaving a Foreign Port at which a British Consular Officer is stationed, the Bill should be issued by the British Consular Officer himself if the Regulations of the Port admit of his doing so.

In the event of Ship-masters or other persons interested preferring to provided themselves with Bills of Health issued by the Local Authorities, they should be made clearly to understand that such Bills will not necessarily entitle them to Pratique unless endorsed by a British Consular Officer; and a Notice to the above effect should be posted up in the Consular Offices under your control.

When the Regulations of the Port require that the Bill of Health should be obtained from the Local Authorities, the Bill must likewise be endorsed by the Consul. In either case of endorsement the Consul will be careful to state whether the facts mentioned in the Bill of Health give, to the best of his knowledge, a true account of the health of the Port and District, and are worthy of credit.

A similar course should be followed in regard to Bills of Health required by Foreign Vessels about to proceed to British Ports.

I am accordingly to instruct you, for the future, to act in the manner above indicated as regards Bills of Health, and to give directions in the same sense to the Vice-Consuls within your Consular

· 1109

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

And whereas it hath been made to appear to Her Majesty that due facilities for recovering and apprehending seamen (not being Danish subjects) who desert from British merchant ships in territories belonging to His Majesty the King of Denmark, will be given under an Agreement between the Governments of Great Britain and Denmark, signed at London on the 21st of June, 1881.

Now, therefore, Her Majesty, by virtue of the powers vested in Her by the said "Foreign Deserters Act, 1852," and by and with the advice of Her Privy Council, is pleased to order and declare, and it is hereby ordered and declared, that from and after the publication hereof in the "London Gazette,' seamen, not being slaves (and not being British subjects), who desert from merchant ships belonging to subjects of the King of Denmark within Her Majesty's dominions, shall be liable to be apprehended and carried on board their respective ships; provided always, that if any such deserter has committed any crime in Her Majesty's dominions he may be detained until he has been tried by a competent Court, and until his sentence (if any) has been fully carried into effect.

And Her Majesty by virtue of the powers vested in Her by the said "Foreign Deserters Act, 1852," and by and with the advice of Her Privy Council, is further pleased to order and declare that upon and after the publication hereof in the "London Gazette," the Order in Couucil relating to seamen who desert from the merchant ships belonging to the subjects of the King of Denmark made, by virtue of the said Act, on the 13th day of June, 1853, and published in the "London Gazette" on the 14th day of June, 1853, shall be revoked, and the same is hereby revoked accordingly.

And the Secretary of State for the Home Department, the Secretary of State for the Colonies, and the Secretary of State for India in Council, are to give the necessary directions herein accordingly.

AGREEMENT between the Governments of Great Britain and Denmark relative to

Merchant Seamen Deserters.

Signed at London, June 21, 1881.

THE Government of Her Majesty the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, and the Government of His Majesty the King of Denmark, being desirous, for the benefit of the commerce of the two countries, to facilitate the discovery, apprehension, and surrender of seamen who may desert from merchant vessels of either country, on the basis of a full and entire reciprocity, have agreed as follows:-

It is mutually agreed that if any seamen or apprentices, not being slaves, should desert from any ship belonging to a subject of either of the Contracting Parties, within any port in the territories or in the possessions or Colonies of the other Contracting Party, the authorities of such port and territory, possession or Colony, shall be bound to give every assistance in their power for the apprehension and sending on board of such deserters, on application to that effect being made to them by the Consul of the country to which the ship of the deserter may belong, or by the deputy or representative of the Consul.

It is understood that the preceding stipulations shall not apply to subjects of the country where the desertion shall take place.

Each of the two High Contracting Parties reserves to itself the right of terminating this Agreement at any time, on giving to the other a year's notice of its wish to that effect.

In witness whereof the Undersigned, duly authorized for that purpose, have signed the present Agreement, and have affixed thereto the seal of their arms.
