PREFACE.

　　THE present volume of the "Chronicle and Directory" embodies all the information which has hitherto been given. Special care has been devoted, in the revision, to embrace the latest changes in the staffs of the various Public Offices, Banks, Companies, and Mercantile Firms in China, Japan, and Manila; and it is confidently hoped that the accuracy which has been attained will be appreciated.

Several additions, which will no doubt be acceptable, have been made, among which may be noticed the Maps of Hongkong, Japan, and the Coast of China; the Coloured Code of Signals used at the Peak, and the Plate of Private House Flags. The Tables giving the Times of arrival and departure of the English and American Mails are published as customary, but it is regretted that it has been impossible to give those of the French Mail, as the information has not been obtainable. The Statistical Account of the Chinese Empire at page 343, forms a valuable addition to the present volume.

　　　　The "Chronicle and Directory" is published in two forms as customary, the one being the Directory properly so called, at the price of $3, and the other the Complete Volume, with records of nine years, at the price of $5, which will be found to embrace all the information, Local, Statistical and Topographical, likely to be required for reference in Public, Mercantile and General Offices.

The Daily Press Office,

Hongkong, January 2, 1871.

SIGNAL STATION,

VICTORIA PEAK, HONG KONG.

The Union Jack will be hoisted at the Mast Head when any Vessel is being signalled. The Red Ensign at the Mast Head will denote that a British Functionary of Rank is on board of a Vessel approaching. The National or House Flag will be hoisted over the symbol, when either is flying on board the Vessel signalled. The Signals of Vessels in the Offing will be repeated. In making Signals to Men-of-War in the Harbor or in the Ofling, a White Ensign will be hoisted at the Flag Staff and at the Mast Head of the Man-of-War. The Commercial Code of Signals for all Nations will be used at the Staff. All Distance Signals will be made at the Mast Head and all Compass Bearings will be made at the Yard. On a Steamer, or the smoke of a Steamer, being sighted, the Compass Bearing over the proper symbol will be hoisted at the Yard Arm; and the Distance off in miles will be hoisted at the Mast Head. The Distance Signal will be kept up ten minutes and the Compass Signal until the Steamer is made out. When the Steamer is made out, if it is either an English, French, or American Mail Steamer, a gun will be fired and the Distance off at that moment will be hoisted under a ball at the Mast Head. The Compass Signal will then be hauled down and the proper National or House Flag will be substituted for it. The Mast Head Signal will be kept up ten minutes, and the Yard Arm Signal until the Steamer anchors. For any other than a Mail Steamer, the same Signals, with the exception of the gun or ball, will be used. River Steamers will not be signalled. Other Steamers from Macao and Canton will be made known by shewing the National Flag and symbol at West Yard Arm only.

The flood tide, when regular (which is seldom), runs round Cabreta Point towards the town of Macao; but a little outside of the Point it sets along the land to the north, across the bay, until it meets the tide from Capsing-moon (or Kapshui-moon, "the swift water passage "), above Lintin, when it flows in a direct channel towards the Bogue. The velocity of the flood tide in Macao Roads is about 23 miles in the north- east monsoon and moderate weather; but when it blows strong from the northward there is no apparent flood. The ebb then runs at the rate of 3 to 33, and 4 miles when the water is falling by the land. The ebb tide sets out from the town of Macao much in the same way as the flood comes in, with the difference of running a little more to the westward along the shore, before it takes the southerly direction; the latter part of this tide is therefore the best time for boats to start for Lintin or Canton, with a contrary wind, as they then get out far enough to have all the flood to work to the northward with.

The tides at Lintin run north and south, or nearly so. The velocity of the ebb in the north-east monsoon, when blowing strong, is much the same as in Macao Roads; but there is always a perceptible flood of 1 or 13 miles. During the height of the south-west monsoon, the ebb runs at times at the rate of 6 and 64 miles, after heavy rains; at that season the floods are very weak.

CHINESE WEIGHTS AND MEASURES.

　　　　　　　MONIES.-Accounts are kept at Canton in taels, mace, candarines, and cash; the tael being divided into 10 mace, 100 candarines or 1,000 cash. There is but one kind used for small payments; it is composed of six parts of copper and four of lead; it is round, marked on one side, and rather raised at the edges, with a square hole in the middle.

A These pieces are commonly carried like beads, on a string of wire. tael of fine silver should be worth 1,000 cash; but, on account of their convenience for common use, their price is sometimes so much raised that only 750 cash are given for the tael.

Foreign coins, however, circulate here, particularly Spanish dollars; and for small change they are cut into very exact proportions, but afterwards weighed: for which

　　　　　　　　The flood ceases rising at this hour, but the stream in the middle of the river runs up a considerable time longer.-Horsburg.

CHINESE WEIGHTS AND MEASURES.

purpose merchants generally carry scales, called dotchin, made somewhat after the plan of the English steelyards.

　　　　　　The tael used to be reckoned at 6s. 8d. sterling in the books of the East India Company, but its value varies, and is generally computed according to the price paid per ounce for Spanish dollars in London. The tables given for this proportional value may be calculated in pence sterling, by the multiplier 1,208. Thus, if the price of the Spanish dollars be 60d. per ounce, the value of the tael will be 60 X 1,208-72·48d.; if at 66d., the value of the tael will be 79 728d.; and for any other price in the same proportion.

　　　　　　FINENESS OF GOLD AND SILVER.-The fineness of gold and silver is expressed by dividing the weight into 100 parts, called toques, or touch; similar to the modern practice of France. Thus, if an ingot be 93 touch, it is understood to contain 7 parts of alloy and 93 of pure metal, making in the whole 100.

The fineness of the precious metals, expressed in these decimal proportions, may be converted into English proportions by the following analogies:-Suppose gold is 99-66 touch, say, as 100: 91-66: 12: 11, the standard, and vice versa; and to convert standard silver into touch, say, as 240: 222: : 100: 92-5, the touch of sterling silver. Fure gold or silver without alloy is called by the Chinese sycee; and sometimes when of less purity the metal is accepted as sycee.

　　　　　　SILVER INGOTs are used as money, and weigh from half a tael to 100 taels, their value being determined by their weight. These ingots are of the best sort of silver; that is, about 94 touch.

　　　　　　GOLD INGOTS.-Gold is not considered as money, but as merchandise; it is sold in regular ingots of a determined weight, which the English call shoes of gold; the largest of these weigh 10 taels each; and the gold is reckoned 94 touch, though it may be only 92 or 93.

To bring ounces into taels, divide the ounces by 1,208.

WEIGHTS.-Gold and silver are weighed by catty of 16 taels; the tael is divided into 10 mace, 100 candarines, or 1,000 cash. 100 taels are reckoned to weigh 120 oz. 16 dwts. Troy, which makes the tacl equal to 579.8 English grains, or 37.566 grammes. The principal weights for merchandise are the picul, the catty, and the tael; the picul being divided into 100 catties, or 1,600 taels.

Hence the picul weighs 60·472 kilogrammes, or 162 lbs. 0 oz. 8 dwts. 13 grs. Troy.

　　　　　The above weights are sometimes otherwise denominated, especially by the natives; thus, the catty is called gin; the tael, lyang; the mace, tchen; the candarine, fivan; and the cash, lis.

There are no commercial measures in China, as all dry goods and liquids are sold by weight. In delivering a cargo English weights are used, and afterwards turned into Chinese piculs and catties.

LONG MEASURE.-That used in China is the covid or cobre; it is divided into 10 punts, and is equal to 0·3713 metres, or 14:625 English inches.

The Chinese have four different measures answering to the foot, viz.:

THE CALENDAR FOR 1871.

Adjustment of the Calendar.

Julius Cæsar was the first to attempt to adjust the length of the degree of accuracy, and fixed it at 365 days 6 hours; introducing a day every fourth year with any year (called Leap Year), which accordingly consists of 366 days, while the three others have only 365 days each.

From him it was called the Julian Year, and it continued in general use till the year 1582, when Pope Gregory XIII. undertook to rectify the error which then existed between the Julian year of 365 days and the solar year of 365 24222013 days, At that time the difference amounted to ten days; he accordingly commanded the ten days between the 4th and 15th October in that year to be struck out, so that the 5th day was called the 15th. This alteration has been introduced throughout Europe, except in Russia and by the Greek Church, and the year was afterwards called the Gregorian Year, or New Style.

In England the method of reckoning after the New Style was not admitted into the Calendar till the year 1722, when the error amounted to nearly eleven days, which were taken from the month of September, by calling the 3rd of that mouth the 14th, and it was settled by Act of Parliament (24 Geo. II., 1751), that the years 1800, 1900, 2100, 2200, 2300, and every hundredth year of our Lord, which shall happen in time to come, shall be computed as each consisting of 365 days only, excepting every fourth hundredth year, whereof the year 2000 should be the first.

By the same Act of Parliament the Legal beginning of the year was changed from the 25th of March to the 1st of January, so that the succeeding months of January, February, and March, up to the 24th day, which by the Old Style would have been reckoned part of the year 1762, were accounted as the three first months of 1763, which is the reason we sometimes meet with such a date as :-

March 10th, 1774-75.

That is, according to the Old Style it is 1774, according to the New 1775.

The Solar Cycle or Cycle of the Sun, is a period of 28 years, after which all the Dominical letters return in the same order as they did during the 28 years before. The first years of the Christian Era is the tenth of this Cycle.

The Lunar Cycle, or Cycle of the Moon, commonly called the Golden number, and sometimes the Metonic Cycle (from Meton, an Athenian philosopher, who invented it about 432 years before the birth of Christ), is a revolution of 19 years, in which time the conjunctions, oppositions, and other aspects of the Moon are within an hour and a half of being the same as they were on the same days of the months 19 years before. The Prime, or Golden number, is the number of years elapsed in this Čycle. Before the birth of Christ two years of this Cycle had elapsed.

　　　　　　　　The Roman indiction is a period of 15 years, and used by the Romans for the time of taxing their provinces. Three years of one of these Cycles had elapsed before the birth of Christ.

　　　　　　　The Julian period contains 7980 years, and arises from multiplying together 28 19, and 15 being the Cycles of the Sun, Moon, and Indiction. This was contrived by Joseph Juste Scaliger, in 1583, for Chronological purposes, and is assumed as a fixed Era in calculations by all Astronomers and Chronologers throughout the Christian world. Its beginning is placed 710 years before the usual date of the creation of the world, or 4714 before the commencement of the Christian Era.

　　　　In the year 1871 there will be two Eclipses of the Sun, and two of the Moon. The first Eclipse of the Moon will be partial, and will take place on the 7th January. The middle of the Eclipse will occur at 4h. 53m. 4s. A.M. The first Eclipse of the Sun (annular) will begin on the Earth generally at 7h. 14m. 4s. A.M. of the 18th June (civil time), and will be on end at 1h. 8m. 45s. P.M. of the same date.

　　　　The second Eclipse of the Moon will also be partial, and take place on the 2nd of June. The middle of the Eclipse will occur at 9h. 4m. 16s PM. The second Eclipse of the Sun (total) will begin on the Earth generally at 9h. 2m. 40s. A.M. of the 12th Decem- ber, and will end at 2h. 17m. 14s. P.M. of the same date. This Eclipse will be visible shortly before noon from Hongkong and Swatow, perhaps from Amoy, which latter port appears to be on the line of its Northern Curvature, but it will not be visible to the Eastward of Amoy, because the path of the phenomenon will be South and East of the Coast line.

RULES TO KNOW WHEN THE MOVEABLE FEASTS OCCUR.

　　　　Easter Day, on which the rest depends, is always the first Sunday after the first full moon which happens after the 21st day of March. If the full moon happens upon a Sunday, Easter Day is the Sunday after. Advent Sunday is always the nearest Sun- day to the Feast of St. Andrew, whether before or after. Rogation Sunday is Five weeks after Easter. Ascension Day is Forty days after Easter.

Whit Sunday is Seven weeks after Easter Trinity Sunday is Eight weeks after Easter

NATIVE FESTIVALS, FASTS, AND OBSERVANCES.

CHINESE.

　　　　　　TUNG-CHI. Or winter solstice, a festival observed by all classes; it is also called Chang ehi tsieh, or the time when the long days come, because then the sun begins to return, and the days grow longer. Officers go in state to worship the Emperor's tablet, and the people adore their lares.-Eleventh moon, eleventh day.

LEI-CHUN.-Lei-chun term, or festival of Spring. This day, the period of the sun reaching the 15th degree in Aquarius, is one of the chief days of the Chinese calendar, and is celebrated with great pomp as well by the government as by the people. In every capital city there are made, at this period, two clay images of a man and a buffalo. The day previous to the festival, the chifu, or chief city ma- gistrate, goes out to ying chun, "meet the spring," on which occasion children are carried about on men's shoulders, each vying with his neighbour in the gorgeous- ness and fancifulness of the children's dresses. The following day, being the day of the festival, the perfect again appears as the Priest of Spring; in which capacity he is, for the day, the first man in the province. Hence the chief officers do not move from home on this day. After he has struck the buffalo with a whip two or three times, in token of commencing the labours of agriculture, the populace then stone the image till they break it in pieces, and many of them carry off pieces of the clay to put on their fields, under the impression that a better crop will thereby be obtained. The festivities continue ten days in some parts of the country, but the degree of ceremony attending this festival differs greatly in different parts of China; in Canton it is not attended with much display.-Twelfth moon, twenty-sixth day.

SIE-TSAV. The God of the Furnace ascends to heaven to report upon the conduct of the family to the Perfect August Shangti; hence people pay their adorations to that diety, and sie-tsau, "thank the furnace.,' In some parts of China, this Shangti is regarded as the Supreme God in the Chinese pantheon, and it is supposed the other deities derive their power and position from him. This popular superstition, though not peculiar to any class, seems most closely allied to the Tau sect.-Twelfth moon, twenty-fourth day.

　　　　　　YUEN TAN-Yuen-tán, the first morning, or new-year's day. The period of new-year is almost the only time of universal holiday in China. Other times and seasons are regarded only by a few, or by particular classes, but the new-year is ac- companied with a general cessation from business. The officer, the merchant, and the labourer, all equally desist from work, and zealously engage in visiting and feasting-occasionally making offerings at the temples of those deities whose peculiar aid they wish to implore. Government offices are nominally closed for about ten days before, and twenty days after new-year; during which period none but very im- portant business is transacted. On the last evening of the old-year, all tradesmen's Lills and small debts are paid, and inability to pass this time of settlement injures a man's credit, and usually results in insolvency; while, too, the custom, by compelling an annual settlement of accounts, prevents many failures. This is perhaps the rea- son why it is called chu-seih, "the evening of dismissal."-First moon, first day.

CHE TA-YUEN-SHWAI; a deified warrior.-First moon, second day. TING KWANG.-Ting-kwang, a Budhist sage, born.--First moon, third day. YIN-JIH.-Yin-jih, or "man-day." The first ten days of the year are named after various animals, "fowl-day,"-"dog-day," &c., of which the seventh, "man- day," is the greatest. Some persons have supposed there is an obscure or ancient re- ference in these days to the order followed at the creation.-First moon, seventh day. WU-TU-SHING-KIUN.-Five lares of the household; they are this day placed on

CHINESE FESTIVALS, FASTS, AND OBSERVANCES.

the ground in various quarters of the house for its protection; and the ceremony is repeated on the tenth of the four following months.-First moon, tenth day.

　　　　　　SHAI-TANG, OR FEAST OF LANTERNS.-Shai-tang, or Feast of Lanterns, so called by Europeans. At night all classes illuminate the temples, shops, &c., with fanciful lanterns, and assemble at convivial parties, called lantern feasts. Offering of lanterns are made at the temples of the Gods. This festival is observed at Canton by merely hanging a lantern before the shop or house.-First moon, fifteenth day.

YUH-HWANG.-Shangti's birthday; this deity is the highest of the Tau sect, and more than any other answers, in the Chinese mythology, to the Jupiter of the Greeks. First moon, fifteenth day.

CHANG-CHUN.--Chang-chun, a celebrated physician, born; deified by the Tauists. His shrine is placed in doctor's shops. First moon, nineteenth day.

SHEN-TSAI-TUNGTSZ'.-Two images of children are placed at the back of dwellings for protecting them, and increasing the prosperity of the inmates; they are called Shen-tsai-tungtsz'.-First moon, twentieth day.

　　　　　　T-TI. The household gods born. There are called Tu-ti, and also Fu-shin, gods of happiness; they include all classes of household deities. At this period plays are performed at the public offices, and in the streets; while rockets and other fire- works are lest off.-Second moon, second day.

　　　　　　WANCHANG-TI-KIUN.--Wanchang-ti-kiun, god of learning, born. His image is placed in the temples of Confucius, and the offices of literary magistrates; scholars worship him.-Second moon, third day.

TUNG-WA-TI-KIUN.-Tung-wa born; a godof the Tau sect.-Second moon, sixth day. HUNGSHING.Hungshing, god of the south sea, born.-This is a southern diety, whose worship is chiefly confined to Canton, where it is celebrated with much pomp and display. Same day, the birthday of Yoh Fi, a faithful minister of the Sung dynasty.-Second moon, thirteenth day.

　　　　　　LAUKIUN.-Laukiun born. Laukiun, called also Lautsz', an ancient sage, and the founder of the Tau sect, was partly contemporary with Confucius. The latter in his youth took lessons from Lautsz on the subject of sacrificial rites. The principal deities of the Tau sect are Sau-tsing, three pure ones,-Shanghai, a supreme ruler, subordinate to those three, and an infinity of inferior gods and deified men.-Second moon, fifteenth day.

TSING MING. Tsing-ming term.-Festival of the tombs. At this period of the year the Chinese everywhere repair to the tombs with offerings of food, which after the spirits of the deceased have fed on the spiritual portion, they themselves partake of. The weather at this time being usually fine, the weeds and dirt are cleared away from the tombs, and any repairs requisite in the brickwork are made. From this custom, the rite is often called Sum-fan, sweeping the tombs. Long slips of paper are laid on the grave after the ceremonies are over, as a proof that the sacrifices have been made.- Second moon, sixteenth day.

KWANYIN. Kwanyin's birthday; she is often called the goddess of mercy, and is the great goddess of the Budhists. There are supposed to be more temples erected to this idol in the city of Canton than to any other.--Second moon, nineteenth day.

　　　　　　HIUEN TIEN SHIN-FU.-Hiuen-tien shin-fu, birthday to the father of the Shangti of the Sombre Heavens; a god of the Tau sect.-Second moon, twenty-fifth day.

AGRICULTURAL CEREMONY.-On a fortunate day in the third moon, the grand agricultural ceremony is performed at Peking by the Emperor and his ministers, and in all the provinces by the head officers of the government. The ceremony consists in holding a plough, highly ornamented, which is kept for the purpose, while the bullock which drags it is led over a given space. The rule is that the Emperor plough three furrows; the princes, five; and the high ministers, nine. These furrows are, however. so very short, that the later monarchs of the present dynasty have altered the ancient rule laid down by the predecessors of Confucius, ploughing four furrows, and return- ing again over the ground. The ceremony finished, the Emperor and his ministers repair to the terrace for inspecting the agricultural labours, and remain till the whole field has been ploughed by husbandmen. The Emperor often appoints a proxy.

CHINESE FESTIVALS, FASTS, AND OBSERVANCES.

HIUEN-TIEN SHANGTI.-Hiuen-tien Shangti, the Supreme Ruler of the Sombre Heavens; the festival of the second deity in the pantheon of Rationalists. He is also usually called Pethi, god of the North Pole, and his festival is very generally observed. Third moon, third day.

CHUNG-YANG WU-TAU.-Chung-yang Wu-tau born.-Third moon, thirteenth day. HIUN-TAN YUEN-SHWAI.-Hiun-tan Yuen-shwai born; worshipped in households. I-ling Tai-ti born; a celebrated physician, worshipped by sick persons.-Third moon, fifteenth day.

　　　　　HAU-TU NIANG-NIANG.-Hau-tu Niang-niang, the goddess of earth.-Third moon, eighteenth day.

TIEN-HAU. Tien-hau, or the Queen of Heaven, born. This female deity was a native of Fuhkien; and has become the goddess of sailors, who are mostly of that pro- vince. She corresponds in many respects to the Amphitrite of the Greeks, through some of her names and attributes seem to have been derived from the Virgin Mary. Her temples are numerous, and her worship is costly.-Third moon, twenty-third day.

Tsz'-SUN NIANG-NIANG-The goddess of children, worshipped by those who wish children.-Third moon, twenty-sixth day.

SAN-KIAI SHING-YE.-San-kiai Shing-yè, or Holy Lords of the three Borders; worshipped in the yards of the courts of houses to propitiate the powers of nature. Same day is the festival of the present Budha, Shihkia Jü-lái.-Fourth moon, eight day.

LUI-SHEN-YANG-SIEN.-Lui-shen-yang-sien, one of the eight genii, also called Luitunk-pin.-Fourth moon, fourteenth day.

CHUNG-LI-TSU-Sz.-Chung-lì-tsu-sz', one of the eight genii.-Fourth moon,

fifteen day.

　　　　　　TWANG-WU. Festival of dragon boats, called in Chinese Twang-woo or Twang-yáng, and also Tienchung. On this day many people race backwards and forwards in long narrow boats, which being painted and ornamented so as to resemble dragons, are called lunchuen, dragon boats. From the narrowness of the boats, and the number of persons on board, there being sometimes from sixty to seventy paddles, it not unfrequently happens that several of the boats break in two; so that the festivities seldom conclude without the loss of several lives. The magistrates endeavour to repress the ardour of the people by issuing their prohibitions, but the people are led on by the excitement. The races are attended by thousands, and rowers are inspirited by the sound of drums and pipes; these noises are supposed to terrify evil spirits and ward off disease; consequently the sports are attended with double zest when sickness prevails. Tradesmen's accounts are cleared off at this period.-Fifth moon, fifth day.

Gentlemen have them also at their own houses; where in some instances there are substantial buildings erected for the performance of the players, and accom- modation of persons invited to see the play. Even in this case, an open space is left for the free admission of the people. Almost all the theatrical performances of the Chinese are held on the birthday or festival of some god, and are therefore of a religious character.

JEWISH.

The festivals of the Jews were held weekly, monthly and yearly. Each seventh and fifteenth year, moreover, was kept with peculiar solemnities.

The weekly festival was the Sabbath, a day consecrated to rest and cheerful devo- tion. It was instituted when God rested, on the seventh day, from the work of Crea- tion, and the precept was renewed to the Hebrews at Marah, ere yet the Decalogue had been given from Sinai. It was kept from sunset on Friday to sunset on Saturday.

The monthly festival was held on the day of the new moon, or the first day of every month, which was proclaimed by sound of trumpet; the laws, however, did not oblige the people to rest on these days, though it appointed particular sacrifices.

　　　　　　The Feasts of the Passover, of Pentecost, and of Tabernacles, were the three principal festivals observed under the law, and they were times of real joy and festivity. As all the male inhabitants throughout the country were required on these occasions to go up to Jerusalen, and the females also permitted to accompany them if they chose, the concourse was generally very great. These religious assemblies, besides commemorating important events in their history, also subserved other important purposes. They kept them steadfast to their religion, by the view of ceremonies and the majesty of the divine service; they afforded the means of religious instruction, for the law of God was then read and explained; and they served, moreover, to renew the acquaintance and friendship of tribes and families, who from all parts of the country thus met three times in the year in the holy city.

The PASSOVER was instituted to commemorate the departure out of Egypt, because on the night preceeding that departure, the destroying angel who slew the first-born of the Egyptians passed over the houses of the Hebrews, they being marked with the blood of the lamb, which for this reason was called the Paschal Lamb. It was cele- brated on the fourteenth day of the first month of the ecclesiastical year (March), and lasted seven days. A lamb, or, if that could not be found, a kid, without blemish, was killed, roasted, and eaten with unleavened bread and bitter herb. The first Pass- over was eaten with their loins girded, their shoes on their feet, and their staves in their hands, that they might be in readiness for their journey, circumstances which were not observed in its celebration after the Exodus.

　　　　　　The Feast of PENTECOST, or WEEKS, was celebrated on the fiftieth day after the Passover, and was a feast of thanksgiving to the Lord, wherein they acknowledged his dominion over their country and their labours, by offering to him two loaves, as the first fruits of all their harvests. It also commemorated the giving of the law from Mount Sinai, two years and fifty days after their departure from Egypt. The Hebrews counted seven weeks from the Passover, beginning on the second day of that solemnity, and hence called it the Feast of Weeks; but by the Christians it was called Pentecost, a name which signifies the Fiftieth Day. It was on the day of Pentecost that the Holy Spirit was poured out from the ascended Saviour upon his apostles, qualifying them with miraculous gifts for establishing the New Testament kingdom.

The Feast of TABERNACLES was instituted as a memorial of their fathers having dwelt in tents for forty years, during the passage through the wilderness. It was kept in the first month of the civil year (September), and lasted eight days, the first and seventh being the most solemn. During its continuance they lived in booths, tents, or arbours, constructed of the branches and leaves of trees. On the first day they cut down branches of the handsomest trees, with their fruits, which they carried in ceremony to the synagogue. Holding in their right hand a branch of palm-tree, of myrtle, and two of willow, tied together, and having in their left hand a citron and

fruit, they waved them towards the four quarters of the world, singing songs and crying" Hosannah."

These were the three great Festivals at which all the males were required to go up to Jerusalem to worship. "Three times in a year shall all thy males appear before the Lord thy God, in the place which he shall choose, in the Feast of Unleavened Bread, and in the Feast of Weeks, and in the Feast of Tabernacles."-(Deut. xvi., 16; Ex. xxxiv., 23).

The Feast of TRUMPETS was celebrated on the first day of their civil year (Sep- tember), its commencement being proclaimed by sound of trumpet, and the day was kept solemn, all business being forbidden, and certain sacrifices appointed to be offered. There are also two others feasts, though not appointed by law, which require notice, as they are often mentioned in Jewish history. The feast of DEDICATION was appointed to celebrate the re-establishment of Divine worship in Jerusalem, after Antiochus Epiphanes had been vanquished and the temple purified. It is observed for eight days, from the 25th of the third month (November), and is also called the Feast of Lights, from the illuminations which the Jews make during these days in their houses. Poorim, or the feast of Esther, falls on the 14th and 15th of the sixth month (February), and commemorates the defeat of Haman. On these days they give alms to the poor and presents to their friends.

The 10th of the first month of the civil year is the day of ATONEMENT, on which they observe a fast from evening, and bewail their sins. Other fasts were also in- stituted in later times, connected with the siege of Jerusalen (10th of tenth month), the capture of the city (17th of the fourth month), the burning of the temple (29th of the fifth month, and the death of Gedaliah (3rd of the seventh month) of the Eccle- siastical year.

　　　　　　Every seventh year was to the Jews a Sabbatical year; and we find that Alexander the Great granted them an exemption from tribute on that year.

After seven weeks or Sabbaths of years, that is, after seven times seven years, the great Festival of the JUBILEE was celebrated; and during the whole year they neither sowed nor reaped. On this fiftieth year every one resumed possession of his inheri tance, whether it were sold, mortgaged, or alienated in any way, and Hebrew slaves of every description were set free, with their wives and children. Houses and edifices in walled towns were the only kind of property that did not return to the original owner in the year of the Jubilee.

MAHOMEDAN.

RAMAZAN.-The Mahomedan fast commences each day throughout the month of this name, when the first streak of light borders the eastern horizon, and continues until the stars are clearly discerned in the heavens. During the whole period not the slightest particle of food, not one single drop of water, nor any other liquid, passes the lips from the dawn till the appearance of the stars in the evening. Each day during the fast is passed in occasional prayer, besides the usual namaz, and in reading the Koran or lives of the prophets. The fast is broken by a cooling draught, called Dandhi, the same which is used in fevers. It is composed of the lettuce, cucumber, and melou, with coriander, well pounded, and afterwards diluted with cold water, rose water, sugar, syrup of pomegranate, and kurat, are also added; the whole preparation is made in the zenana, and then drunk by basins-full by all true Rozedhars. Plain boiled rice, with dhi (sour crud) and sugar, form the first morning's repast of the Eed; dried dates are eaten with it, in remembrance of the prophet's family, whose greatest luxury was supposed to be the date of Arabia. The conclusion of the month Ramazan is celebrated as an Eedor festival, and is hailed with great rejoicing and merriment, as a sort of reward for their severe abstinence. In every house the same dainties are provided, every amusement that can be thought of is indulged in: the nach women in the apartments of the gentlemen, and the domini in those of the women, are in great request on the last day of the Ramazan, when the matron of the mansion sits in state of receive nazars from inferiors, and to grant favours to others.-11th March,

MAHOMEDAN FESTIVALS, FASTS, AND OBSERVANCES.

EED. The followers of Mahomed claim to be the descendants of Abraham through his son Ishmael, who, they aver, was chosen as the offering to the Almighty, and not Isaac, thus differing from the Jews and Christians, grounding their assertions on tradi- tions which they deem conclusive evidence on the subject, in opposition to the authority of the Bible. The offering thus made is annually commemorated by the sacrifice of animals, such as camels, sheep, goats, kids, or lambs, according to each person's means, which answer the double purpose of honouring the memory of Abraham and Ishmael, and also assisting as a meal in time of need. The followers of Mahomed believe that the entrance to Paradise is guarded by a bridge as narrows as a scythe, or some such equally sharp, instrument, affording a precarious and unstable footing. To enable them, there- fore, to pass without danger, they believe that the animals they have sacrificed at the feast of Eed will be present to lend their aid to help them over in safety.-12th March. EED KORBAN.-In commemoration of Abraham offering up Ishmael; and this is the day on which they annually perform the Haj at Mecca.-18th May.

MOHARRAM. A celebrated mourning festival, held annually in remembrance of the first martyrs of the Mussulmans-Hassain and Hossein-the two sons of Fatima and Ali, from whom the whole race of Syads have descended. Hassain was poisoned by an emissary of the usurping Xelipha, and Hossein, the last victim of the descendants of the prophet's family, to the King Yazid's fury, suffering a cruel death after the most severe trials on the plain of Kurbala, on the tenth day of the Arabian month Moharram, the anniversary of which catastrophe is solemnised with the most devoted zeal. Hassain and Hossein were, as above stated, the two sons of Ali, by his cousin Fatima, the daughter of Mahomed, and after the murder of their father by the contrivances of the Kalipha, they with their families removed from Shawn, the capital, to Medina. After residing there for several years, the people of Shawn, being tired of King Yazid's tyrannical rule, invit- ed Hossein to return to the capital, and assume his lawful right as Iman (leader of the faithful). Before accepting this invitation, Hossein sent Moslem, his cousin, as a mes- senger to report the true state of affairs to him; but on his arrival with his two sons at Shawn, he was seized by order of King Yazid, and cast from a precipice, and his two sons were barbarously murdered, for the sake of the reward offered for their heards. This forms the subject of the ten days' bewailing during the Moharran. The Mahomedans are divided into distinct sects, called the Shian and the Sunias. The foriner regard Ali and his descendants to be the lawful leaders after Mahomed, and the latter the Kaliphas, as Abubakr, Omar, &c., hence quarrels, animosities, and dislikes are hoarded up to the avenged during the Moharram. The festival begins on the first day of the moon, (Moha- ram). Tazias (a term signifying grief, and applied to a representation of the mausoleum erected over the remains of Iman Hossein at Kurbala), made of ivory, ebony, sandal- wood, cedar, and some wrought in silver filigree, and indeed of every variety of material, from pure silver to bamboo and paper, according to the rank and wealth of the party, are exhibited in every direction, and conveyed in procession through the streets. Mourning assemblies are held morning and evening in the Imambares, during the Moharram, and the head priest or preacher recites a subject for each day's service, from the various books composed on the subject, descriptive of the lives and sufferings of Hassain and Hossein. The Marsiah, a poetical composition of great merit, and em- bracing the whole of the subject they commemorate, is chanted with great effect; the names of their lawful leaders are recounted with blessings, and that of the usurpers, the Kaliphas, with curses. Then comes the procession of Dhal Dhai-Hossein's horse, killed at Kurbala, beautifully caparisoned; and finally the Tazias are deposited with funeral rites in the public burial grounds, when the Moharran ceases. The Tabut is a slight framework of bamboo, in the shape of a mausoleum, covered and ornamented with coloured paper and tinsel. They vary considerably in size and appearance, according to the taste and ability of those who build them. Before these Tabuts incense is burned, and various other rites are performed. The Tabuts, it is said, are peculiar to India. They are not mentioned in the Koran, nor are they built by the inhabitants of Persia and Arabia. Many Mahomedans regard them with strong disapprobation. In Bombay the larger portion of the Mahomedans unite in building the Tabuts. These are taken out,. and, accompanied with music, carried in procession through the Bhendy Bazaar, from

　　　midnight of the ninth until three o'clock of the morning of the tenth day, and from two to six o'clock on the afternoon of the same day, on their way to the beach in Back Bay, where the greater part of the Tabuts, after being stripped of whatever is of value, are cast into the sea. The practice of building Tabuts seems to be losing ground in Bombay, a portion of those who formerly united in this, having adopted the views of those opposed to such things. The Indian Mahomedans, who do not unite in building the Tabuts, are accustomed to go on this occasion to the mosques for five successive evenings, to listen to the account of the death of Hossein. Their demonstrations of grief, however, are not equal to those of the Moguls and Persians, who, while listening to the recital, weep aloud, and smite violently upon their breasts. These are accustomed to meet at the Masjid, in Mirza Mahomed Ali Khan Street, Bombay. In Bombay these is strictly speaking no representation of the battle which was fought previous to the death of Hossein. Some two or three horsemen, bearing flags, enter the large yard adjoining the Imambara with loud wailings, and are followed by two horses caparisoned, to represent those which were for the use of the fallen Hossein. One person où horseback, witli a long sword apparently run through the head, and covered with blood, joins in the wailings. A female infant, in deep mourning, sitting at the door of a small mausoleum, which is car- ried on the shoulders of men, constantly cast ashes or cut-straw upon her head, in token of grief. These pass round in a circle, accompanied or followed by a company on foot, who beat upon their breast, crying, "Hai Hossein! Hai Hossein!" Sometimes, a person represented in a dying state, his body covered with wounds and blood, and darts and daggers run into it, is carried about in procession. It would seem that this festival is now celebrated with less effort and effect than formerly. It is apparently becoming more and more a farce. The grief is doubtless for the most part feigned. The decline of the peculiar zeal of the Mahomedans must necessarily lead them to enter into these with less spirit. 17th June.

PARSEE.

　　　　　The Parsees of India are divided into two sects, the "Shanshahahis" or "Rasmis," and the "Kudmis" or "Churigars," the former of whom constitute the larger portion of the race. This division originated only about a hundred and fifty years ago, when learned Persian priest, named Jamasp, arrived in India, and found that his co-religion- ists differed from their brethren of Iran in their calculation of time by a full month, and in other minor points relating to their "Liturgy." Serious disputes arose in conse- quence, which ended in the formation of the two sects, the Shahanshahis adhering to their own views, and the Kudmis adopting the opinions imported by Jamasp--thus agreeing with their Persian brethren. Notwithstanding this division, no estrangement exists between them in their social intercourse. The difference lies only in their com putation of time, and in some slight variations in their form of prayer. Intermarriage is allowed, as well as admission to each other's places of worship.

　　　　　The festivals of the Parsees are celebrated with little or no outward pomp. Their holidays are mostly occupied in prayers in the morning, and festivities and rejoicings during the rest of the day. Some of their religious institutions are traced to a very ancient period. The festival of the Nowroz dates from upwards of three thousand years before Christ, and is kept to this day by most of the nations of Western Asia, notwithstanding their differences of creed. The Emperor Akbar adopted the "Nowroz" and fourteen other festivals of the Parsees, for the observances of those who were attached to his favorable doctrines of the Hahi faith," or the "Religion of God," which he fruitlessly endeavoured to introduce among the people.

PAPETI, OR NEW YEAR'S DAY.-Among the festival observed by the Parsees, the first and universally kept, is the Papeti, or new year's day. This day is celebrated in honour of Yezdezerd, the last King of the Sassanid dynasty, who was dethroned by Kalif Omar about A.D. 640. The ancient Persians reckoned a new era from the accession of each successive monarch, and as Yezdezerd had no successor, the date of his accession to the throne has been brought down to the present time, thus making their current year 1239. In their calculation of the year only 365 days are allowed;

PARSEE FESTIVALS, FASTS AND OBSERVANCES.

The

leap year is unknown to them, though there are recorde which prove that in every 120 years one month was added to make it correspond with the solar year. year is divided into twelve months, of thirty days each, and five days, or "Gathas," as they are called, are added at the end to make up the deficiency. On these days the Parsees rise early, and dress themselves in new suits of clothes, and those piously disposel say their prayers in their private residences, or visit their friends and relatives when the "Hama-i-jur" or joining of hands is performed; this ceremony is a sort of greeting, corresponding to the European fashion of wishing each other a happy new year. Their friends and relations are invited to breakfast. The morning thus occupied, they spend the rest of the day in their country houses or clubs, where feasting and rejoicings are kept up till a late hour. Alms are also given to the poor in the course of the day, and new suits of clothes are presented to servants and dependents.

　　　　　KHURDAD SAL.-The second of the Parsee festivals is the " Khurdad-Sal" day, or the anniversary of the birth of their prophet Zoroaster, who they say was born in the city of Reh, in the North of Persia, in the reign of Darius Hystapis, about 520 years before Christ. Heeren places the birth of this celebrated personage about 1,200 years anterior to this. The Parsees themselves differ as to the exact time of the birth of their prophet: a part of them fix the period of B.C. 389; others at B.C. 538. Reli- gious ceremonies are performed in the morning by the women of the family and the priests, the men, as usual on such occasions, limiting themselves to private prayers.

AMURDAD-SAL. This holiday, which falls on the day immediately after the preceeding festival, appears to have no origin in the books of the Parsees. It is merely kept up as the continuation of the "Khurdad-Sal;" no religious ceremonies are required, and the day is always speut in the enjoyment of pleasures.

FARURHARDIN JASAN.-This day is set apart for the performance of ceremonies for the dead, "Farurhar" meaning soul or spirit. The religious portion of the people attend on the hills at Chaopatty (Bombay), where their "dockmas or "towers of silence" are situated, and there perform prayers for the dead, in commemoration of their memory. This holiday is kept with some slight variations in other parts of India. The Parsees are enjoined by their religion to preserve the memory of their dead by annual religious ceremonies performed in the house; but such of their friends as die on long voyages or in unknown places, and the date of whose death cannot be positively ascertained, are, according to the terms of their religion, honoured by sacred rites on this day. The ceremory consists in a man or woman preparing small round pieces of baked bread, called daruns, which are put on a tray or other copper vessel, along with the fruits and flowers, over which the priest performs the prayers of the Baj, or "Vaj," as it is called by M. Anquetil Du Perron in his "Zend Avesta." According to the translation published by this learned Frenchman, the Baj is an invocation of the names of the departed, and of such of the angels as have a direct control over the souls of the dead after their departure from this world. Prayers of this sort are still performed among the Hindus and the Mahomedans, and are not unknown in the Roman Catholic countries of Europe.

　　　　　ARDEBEHIST-JASAN. -This festival, as its name implies, is maintained in honour of Ardebehist Amshaspond, the angel controlling the sacred fire, that element being one of the wonders of divine creation. The fire-temples are crowded on this day, sandalwood is offered to the sacred flame, and prayers offered to the Supreme Deity.

THE NOWROZ.-The fifth on the list is the celebrated Nowroz, called by some the Nowroz-i-Jamshid on the Nowroz-í-Sultan, the King's day. This celebrated festival falls generally about the 21st day of March, and corresponds with our Vernal Equinox. This day is observed by the modern Persians, the Arabs, the Turks, and several other Asiatic nations for the computation of the solar year, and for state purposes such as the collection of revenue, and the arrangements for the agricultural operations of the year. Eastern writers date the origin of this festival from the time of Jamshid, the third King of the Peshdadian dynasty of Persia. Jamshid is supposed by Bailly to have flourished 3,209 years before Christ; the Shah Namah celebrates him as the first Prince of his race who introduced civilisation_among mankind, and established the computation of tinie. If we are to believe the Persian writers, the exquisite bas-reliefs

among the ruins of Persepolis, still visible in beauty after a lapse of two thousand years,- -are representations of the Court of Jamshid, more especially on the festival of the Nowroz. The sculptures at this place contain representations of the Courts of ancient Persia, with the long train of attendants bringing offerings to the feet of Monarchs; and as the Nowroz is a sort of "revenue settlement" day, when the chiefs. of different provinces lay their annual contributions before the throne, and are allowed audience with the monarch, the idea of a part of the Persepolitan bas-reliefs being a picture of some ancient King of Persia holding his Court on the day of the Nowroz, does not appear to be without foundation. In Persia this festival is kept for several days with unusual pomp by all the inhabitants, whether Mahomedans or Parsees. In India it is simply a day of rejoicing.

AVA-ARDUI SAR JASAN.-Ava, in the Zend text, is the name of the angel who presides over the sea, and this " Jasan," or festival, is held in his honour. The Parsees are required on this day to approach the sea shore, or any stream of water, and chant the Zend prayers, but owing to their long residence in India, they have borrowed many Hindu rites in the observance of this holiday, and offerings of sugar, cocoanuts, flowers, &c., to the sea, are not uncommon. The better-informed portion of the community, however, do not join with their brethern in these superstitious acts. In Bombay a fair is held on the Esplanade in honour of this festival.

ADAR JASAN.-Adar, another synonyme for fire, is the name by which the ninth month of the Parsee year is called. This is the most sacred of the twelve months, and the ninth day of that month is held in great respect and sanctity. On this day the fire temples are very much crowded, and offerings of sandalwood are made to the sacred flame, and money distributed among the priests.

Besides the above, the festivals of the Parsees are the Meher Jasan, the Bahman Jasan, and a few others of less importance, all of which are partially observed.

SIAMESE MODE OF DIVIDING TIME.

　　　　　The 24 hours of each day are divided into two equal parts. The day time is call WAN, (sound a as A in WHAT). The night time K'u'n (the apostrophe denotes that the letter before it is aspirated). The former uniformly begins at 6 o'clock A.M.; the latter at 6 P.M. The hours of the forenoon are numbered 1, 2, 3, &c., up to 6, or mid-day. The hours of the afternoon are designated by the same numbers. Time in the forenoon is called Pëda Ch'ow, (ë sounded as E in PREY); time afternoon, Pëla Bai. The word denoting any hour in the day time is Mong; that for night time is Tööm. In expressing 9 A.M., they say, "Sám (third) Mong Ch'ow ;"--3 P.M., Sám Mong Bui;" 9 P.M., "Sám Tööm."

　　　　　The hours of the night are counted in succession from 1 to 12. Six o'clock A.M., is the close of their twelfth hour of the night. Each night is divided into four watches of the three hours each, and each watch is called a Yám.

　　　　　　Siamese months are designed to be lunar months; but they often vary from the moon a day or more. Each month is divided into two parts, viz.: KANG K'UN (Waxing,) and Kang-Raam (Waning). The former has always 15 days; but the latter has 15 days every 2nd, 4th, 6th, 8th, 10th, and 12th month; and 14 days every 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th, and 11th month. Hence six of their months have 30 days, and six 29 days 354 to 12 months, which wants about 11 days to make up a full solar year. To compensate for this, they have an intercalary month of 30 days, one in two or three years. The years 1853, 1855, 1858, and 1861, were leap-years,. By this plan were is still a loss of about three days in 19 years, which is supplied by adding a day to their 7th month from time to time, as their Brahmin astrologers sco to be necessary, which they did for 1860.

They have no word to denote a week of time. But each day of the seven has its appropriate name and number. Sunday is their first and Saturday their seventh day. By the recurrence of the first and seventh day they are reminded of the lapse of seven days, as we are by the word week.

The days of the week are:-

1st. Wan At'ït 2nd. Wan Chan 3rd. Wan Angk'an 4th. Wan P'ōōt 5th. Wan Prahat 6th. Wan Sōōk

7th. Wan Sow

(day of the sun) Sunday. (day of the moon) Monday. (day of Mars) Tuesday. (day of Mercury) Wednesday. (day of Jupiter) Thursday. (day of Venus) Friday. (day of Saturn) Saturday.

Their twelve months are each designated by its appropriate number, excepting the first and second. The former, instead of being called the first month, is called Dúan ái, (month ái) the latter, Dúau Yèè (month Yèè). The next succeeding month is called Dúan Sám: (Third month); the next, Dúan See, (fourth month); and so on through the twelve.

The Siamese have two cycles, one within the other. The greater is twelve years, the smaller ten. The name of the former is Pee, the latter Sok. Every year of each kind of cycle has its own specific name.

The years of the cycle of 12 are:-

　　　　　　　In writing the number of their Era, the name of each cycle, as it chances to be, is always given in the same connection.

Every Siamese is taught to remember carefully the name of each year of the cycle of 12, and by no means to forget the name of the particular year, moon, day of the

　　　　　　　moon, and day of the week in which he was born. So that at any time, when he would count up the number of the years he has lived, he begins by repeating the name of the years in succession from the one that gave him birth, until he comes back again to his birth-year, keeping tally with his fingers. Thus he counts on until he makes another cycle of twelve, more or less, as the case may be in regard to his age

WEIGHTS, MEASURES, &c.

He can tell quite certainly whether his age is within the first cycle of 12, or the second, third, or fourth; but if he be upwards of 60 years old, he is liable to get bewildered in his reckoning, for the want of the habit of counting his years by the year of the Era in which he was born. This the Siamese never do,

The Siamese sacred Era is reckoned from the time it is supposed Buddh died, which was 2,400 years at the full moon in May, 1866. This reckoning is never used except in their religious matters. It is denominated Pöötá Sákkárát (Era of Buddh). Their civil Era, called Chöölá Sákkárát (little Era), is reckoned from the time when Pra Rooang, a Siamese king of great celebrity, established it, and that was 1227 full years in March, 1866. Siamese in writing their dates always show first the year of their Era; second, the day of the week; third, the day of the waxing or waning moon; fourth, the number of the month; fifth, the names of the year; and, sixth, the particular year of the cycle of 10. Their mode of showing the day of week, day of moon, and month is very concise.

6 & 7 Viet, c. 80,

And whereas, another Act of Parliament was passed in the same 6 & 7 V.et, c. 94.

RULES OF SUPREME COURT

Preliminary Examination.

291. Where the accused comes before the Court on summons or warrant, or otherwise, the Court before committing him to prison for trial, or admitting him to bail, shall, in his presence, take the depositions on oath (Form 39) of those who know the facts and circumstances of the case, and shall put the same in writing.

292. The accused shall be at liberty to put questions to any witness produced against him, and the statements of any witness in answer thereto shall form part of that witness's deposition.

293. The deposition of each witness shall be read over to the witness, and shall be signed by him.

294. If on the trial of the accused it is proved on oath that any person whose deposition has been taken is dead, or is so ill as not to be able to travel, and that his deposition was taken in the presence of the accused, and that he or his counsel or attorney cross-examined, or had full opportunity of cross-examining the witness, the deposition may be read as evidence in the prosecution without further proof

thereof.

295. No objection at the preliminary examination to any charge, summons, or warrant, for any detect in substance or form, or for any variance between it and the evidence adduced on the part of the pro- secution, shall be allowed: but if any variance appears to the Court to be such that the accused has been thereby deceived or misled, the Court may, on the request of the accused, adjourn the examination, and in the meantime remand the accused or admit him to bail.

Statement of Accused.

296. After the examination of all the witnesses on the part of the prosecution is completed, the Court shall, without requiring the attendance of the witnesses, read over to the accused the depositions

taken against him, and shall then say to him these words:

"Having heard the evidence, do you wish to say anything in answer to the charge? You are not obliged to say any thing unless you desire to do so, but whatever you say will be taken down in writing, and may be given in evidence against you on your trial. And I give you clearly to under- stand that you have nothing to hope from any promise of favour, and nothing to fear from any threat, that may have been held out to you to induce you to make any admission or confession of your guilt; but whatever you now say may be given in evidence against you upon your trial,

notwithstanding such promise or threat."

Whatever the accused then says in answer thereto shall be taken down in writing (Form 40) and shall be read over to him, and shall be kept with the depositions of the witnesses, and after- wards, on the trial of the accused the same may be given in evidence against him without further proof thereof.

297. Nothing in the foregoing Rules, however, is to prevent the prosecutor from giving in evidence any admission or confession or other statement of the accused made at any time, which would, by law, be admissible ae evidence against him.

Publicity.

298. The room or place in which the preliminary examination is held is not an open or public Court for that purpose; and the Court in its discretion, in case it appears to it that the ends of justice will be best answered by so doing, order that no person have access to, or be, or remain in, the room or place, without the special

During the period of remand the Court may, nevertheless, order the accused to be brought before it.

Instead of detaining the accused in custody during the period of remand the Court may discharge him, on his entering into a recog- nizance, with or without a surety or sureties, as the Court may think fit (Form 45), for his appearance.

A notice of each recognizance (Form 46) shall at the same time be given to each person bound thereby.

　　　　　　　　Any party summoning a witness through the Court, thereby becomes liable to pay such witness a reasonable sum of money to be summarily fixed by the Court for his expenses and loss of time.

　　　　　　　　The Court will not enforce the attendance of a witness unless such sum has been deposited in the Court.

　　　　　　　　If either party desires to use in evidence at the hearing any book, paper, or document in the possession or power of the other party, he must give the other party reasonable notice in writing to produce it at the hearing, failing which he will not be allowed to give any secondary evidence of its contents.

　　　　　　　　No person is excluded from giving evidence by reason of interest or relationship. The parties themselves, their wives, relations, partners, and servants respectively are competent witnesses.

CONVENTION AND TREATY OF PEACE BETWEEN GREAT BRITAIN AND CHINA, 1860.

PROCLAMATION.

The Earl of Elgin and Kincardine, K.T., G.C.B., Her Britannic Majesty's Special Ambassador in China, &c., &c., has much satisfaction in informing Her Majesty's subjects in China that a Convention for re-establishment of Peace between Great Britain and China was concluded, and the Ratification of the Treaty of Tientsin of the Year 1858, duly exchanged at Peking, on the 24th of October, 1860.

The Earl of Elgin now publishes for general information the text of the said Convention and Treaty, together with the text of the tariff, and rules which form part of the Treaty, and were agreed to by him and the Plenipotentiaries of the Emperor of China at Shanghai, on the 8th of November, 1858.

The Earl of Elgin trusts that by a considerate treatment of the natives with whom they may come into contact, and a faithful observance of their obligations towards the Chinese Government, Her Majesty's subjects in China will do what in them lies to reconcile the people and authorities of China, to the changes in their relations with foreigners, which are about to be introduced under the international compacts herewith promulgated-changes which if they be carried into effect in such a manner as to afford greater scope to the commercial activity of the Chinese people, without doing unnecessary violence to their habits and traditions, will, it may be hoped, prove beneficial to them, and to all who have dealings with them.

Due notice will be given whenever the arrangements for carrying into execution the provisions of this Convention and Treaty, at the Ports thereby opened to British Trade, shall be completed.

GOD SAVE THE QUEEN.

No passports need be applied for by persons going on examinations from the ports open to trade to a distance not exceeding 100 li, and for a period not exceeding five days.

Art. XIV.-British subjects may hire whatever boats they please for the transport of goods or passengers, and the sum to be paid for such boats shall be settled between the parties themselves, without the interference of the Chinese Government.

Justice shall be equitably and impartially administered on both sides.

Art. XVII.-A British subject having reason to complain of a Chinese, must proceed to the Consulate, and state his grievance. The Consul will inquire into the merits of the case, and do his utmost to arrange it amicably.

If disputes take place of such a nature that the Consul cannot arrange them ainicably, then he shall request the assistance of the Chinese authorities, that they may together examine into the merits of the case, and decide it equitably.

124

TIENTSIN TREATY, 1858.

Art. XVIII.-The Chinese authorities shall at all times afford the fullest protec tion to the persons and property of British subjects, whenever these shall have been subjected to insult or violence. In all cases of incendiarism or robbery, the local authorities shall at once take the necessary steps for the recovery of the stolen

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　property, the suppression of disorder, and the arrest of the guilty parties, whom they will punish according to law.

Art. XIX. If any British merchant-vessel, while within Chinese waters, be plundered by robbers, or pirates, it shall be the duty of the Chinese authorities to use every endeavour to capture and punish the said robbers or pirates and recover the stolen property, that it may be handed over to the Consul for restoration to the

owner.

　　　　　　　Art. XX.-If any British vessel be at any time wrecked or stranded on the coast of China, or be compelled to take refuge in any port within the dominions of the Emperor of China, the Chinese authorities on being apprised of the fact shall imme- diately adopt measures for its relief and security; the persons on board shall receive friendly treatment, and shall be furnished, if necessary, with the means of conveyance to the nearest Consular station.

Art. XXI.-If criminals, subjects of China, shall take refuge in Hongkong or on board the British ships there, they shall, upon due requisition by the Chinese autho- rities, be searched for, and, on proof of their guilt, be delivered up.

　　　　　　Art. XXII.-Should any Chinese subject fail to discharge debts incurred to a British subject, or should he fraudulently abscond, the Chinese authorities will do their utmost to effect his arrest, and enforce recovery of the debts.

Art. XXIII.-Should natives of China who may repair to Hongkong to trade, incur debts there, the recovery of such debts must be arranged for by the British Court of Justice on the spot; but should the Chinese debtors abscond, and be known to have property, real or personal, within the Chinese territory, it shall be the duty of the Chinese authorities, on application by, and in concert with the British Consul, to do their utmost to see justice done between the parties.

Art. XXV.-Import duties shall be considered payable on the landing of the goods, and duties of export on the shipment of the same.

　　　　　Art. XXVI.-Whereas the tariff fixed by Article X. of the Treaty of Nanking, and which was estimated so as to impose on imports and exports a duty at about the rate of five per cent. ad valorem, has been found, by reason of the fall in value of various articles of merchandize, therein enumerated, to impose a duty upon these considerably in excess of rate originally assumed, as above, to be a fair rate, it is agreed that the said tariff shall be revised, and that as soon as the Treaty shall have been signed, application shall be made to the Emperor of China to depute a high officer of the Board of Revenue to meet, at Shanghai, officers to be deputed on behalf of the British Government, to consider its revision together, so that the tariff, as revised, may come into operation immediately after the ratification of this Treaty.

Art. XXVII.--It is agreed that either of the high contracting parties to the Treaty at the end of ten years; but if no demand be made on either side within six months may demand a further revision of tariff, and of the Commercial Article of this Treaty, after the end of the first ten years, then the tariff shall remain in force for ten years more, reckoned from the end of the preceding ten years; and so it shall be at the end

of each successive ten years.

TIENTSIN TREATY, 1858.

125

Art. XXVIII.-Whereas it was agreed in Article X. of the Treaty of Nanking that British imports, having paid the tariff duties, should be conveyed into the interior free of all further charges, except a transit duty, the amount whereof was not to ex- ceed a certain per-centage on tariff value; and whereas no accurate information having been furnished of the amount of such duty, British merchants have constantly com- plained that charges are suddenly and arbitrarily imposed by the provincial authorities as transit duties upon produce on its way to the foreign market, and on imports on their way into the interior to the detriment of trade; it is agreed that within four months from the signing of this Treaty, at all ports now open to British trade, and within a similar period at all ports that may hereafter be opened, the authority appointed to superintend the collection of duties shall be obliged, upon application of the Consul, to declare the amount of duties leviable on produce between the places of production and the port of shipment, and upon imports between the Consular port in the question and the inland market named by the Consul; and that a notification thereof shall be published in English and Chinese for general information.

But it shall be at the option of any British subjects desiring to convey produce purchased inland to a port, or to convey imports from a port to an inland market, to clear his goods of all transit duties, by payinent of a single charge. The amount of this charge shall be leviable on exports at the first barrier they may have to pass, or, on im- ports, at the port at which they are landed; and on payment thereof, a certificate shall be issued, which shall exempt the goods from all further inland charges whatsoever.

It is further agreed that the amount of this charge shall be calculated, as nearly as possible, at the rate of two and-a-half per cent. ad valorem, and that it shall be fixed for each article at the conference to be held at Shanghai for the revision of the tariff.

It is distinctly understood that the payment of transit dues, by commutation or otherwise, shall in no way affect the tariff duties on imports, or exports, which will continue to be levied separately and in full.

　　　　Art. XLIII.-Duties shall be charged upon the net weight of each article, making a deduction for the tare weight of congee, &c.

He shall then make a memorandum on the port-clearance of the goods, and of the amount of duties paid, and deliver the same to the merchant; and shall also certify the fact to the officers of Customs of the other ports. All which being done, on the arrival in port of the vessel in which the goods are laden, every- thing being found on examination there to correspond, she shall be permitted to break bulk, and land the said goods, without being subject to the payment of any additional duty thereon.

　　　　　　Art. XLVIII.-If any British merchant-vessel be concerned in smuggling, the goods, whatever their value or nature, shall be subject to confiscation by the Chinese authorities, and the ship may be prohibited from trading further, and sent away as soon as her account shall have been adjusted and paid.

Art. XLIX. All penalties enforced, or confiscation made, under this Treaty, shall belong and be appropriated to the public service of the Government of China.

Art. L.-All official communications, addressed by the Diplomatic and Consular Agents of Her Majesty the Queen to the Chinese authorities, shall, henceforth, be written in English. They will for the present be accompanied by a Chinese version, but it is understood that, in the event of there being any difference of meaning between the English and Chinese text, the English Government will hold the sense as expressed in the English text to be the correct sense. This provision is to apply to the Treaty now negociated, the Chinese text of which has been carefully corrected by the English original.

Cash will pay no duty inwards or outwards; but a freight or part freight of cash, though no other cargo be on board, will render the vessel carrying it liable to pay tonnage dues.

II. The export of rice and all other grain whatsoever, native or foreign, no matter where grown or whence imported, to any foreign port, is prohibited; but these com- modities may be carried by British merchants from one of the open ports of China to another, under the same conditions in respect of security as cash, on payment at the port of shipment of the duty specified in the Tariff.

　　　　　　　　RULE 7.-Transit Dues.-It is agreed that Article XXXVIII. of the Treaty of Tientsin shall be interpreted to declare the amounts of transit-dues legally leviable upon merchandise imported or exported by British subjects, to be one-half of the tariff duties, except in the case of the duty-free goods liable to a transit-duty of 23 per cent. ad valorem, as provided in Article II. of these Rules. Merchandise shall be cleared of its transit dues under the following conditions:

In the case of Imports.-Notice being given at the port of entry, from which the Imports are to be forwarded inland, of the nature and quantity of the goods, the ship from which they have been landed, and the place inland to which they are bound, with all other necessary particulars, the Collector of Customs will, on due inspection made, and on receipt of the transit-duty duc, issue a transit-duty certificate. This must be produced at every barrier station, vised. No further duty will be leviable upon imports so certificated, no matter how distant the place of their destination.

In the case of Esports.-Produce purchased by a British subject in the interior will be inspected, and taken account of, at the first barrier it passes on its way to the port of shipment. A memorandum showing the amount of the produce and the port at which it is to be shipped, will be deposited there by the person in charge of the produce; he will then receive a certificate, which must be exhibited and viséd at every barrier on

　　　his way to the port of shipment. On the arrival of the produce at the barrier nearest the port, notice must be given to the Customs at the port, and the transit-dues due thereon being paid, it will be passed. On exportation the produce will pay the tariff duty.

　　　　Any attempt to pass goods inwards or outwards, otherwise than in compliance with the rule here laid down, will render them liable to confiscation.

Unauthorised sale, in transitu, of goods that have been entered as above for a port, will render them liable to confiscation. Any attempt to pass goods in excess of the quantity specified in the certificate will render all the goods of the same denomination, named in the certificate, liable to confiscation. Permission to export produce, which cannot be proved to have paid its transit-dues, will be refused by the Customs until the transit-dues shall have been paid. The above being the arrangement agreed to regard- ing the transit-dues, which will thus be levied once and for all, the notification required under Article XXVIII. of the Treaty of Tientsin, for the information of British and Chinese subjects, is hereby dispensed with.

　　　　RULE 8.-Foreign Trade under Passport.-It is agreed that Article IX. of the Treaty of Tientsin shall not be interpreted as authorising British subjects to enter the capital city of Peking for the purpose of trade.

RULE 9.-Abolition of the Meltage Fee.-It is agreed that the percentage of one tael two mace, hitherto charged in excess of duty payments to defray the expenses of melting by the Chinese Government, shall be no longer levied on British subjects.

RULE 16.-Collection of Duties under one System at all Ports.-It being by Treaty at the option of the Chinese Government to adopt what means appear to it best suited to protect its revenue accruing on British trade, it is agreed that one uniform system

shall be enforced at every port.

　　　　The high officer appointed by the Chinese Government to superintend foreign trade, will accordingly, from time to time, either himself visit, or will send a deputy to visit the different ports. The said high officer will be at liberty, of his own choice, and independently of the suggestion or nomination of any British authority, to select any British subjects he may see fit to aid him in the administration of the Customs' revenue, in the prevention of smuggling, in the definition of port boundaries, or in discharging the like, the maintenance of which shall be provided for out of the tonnage dues.

The Chinese Government will adopt what measures it shall find requisite to prevent smuggling upon the Yang-tsze-kiang, when that river shall be opened to trade. Done at Shanghai, in the province of Kiang-su, this eighth day of November, in the year of our Lord eighteen hundred and fifty-eight, being the third day of the tenth moon of the year of the reign of Hien Fung.

Revised Draft of Articles inclosed in Mr. Wade's Despatch to the Prince Kung.

27th October, 1865.

Art. I.-Wherever a ship or goods belonging to a British subject may be seized in a port of China by the Customs, the seizure is to be reported without delay to the Superintendent. If he consider the seizure justified, he will direct the Foreign Com- missioner of Customs to give notice to the party to whom the ship or goods are declared to belong, that the ship or goods have been seized because such or such an irregularity has been committed, and that the said ship or goods will be confiscated unless before noou on a certain day, being the sixth day from the date of the delivery of the notice, the Superintendent receive from the British Consul an official application to have the case fully investigated.

The British subject to whom the ship or goods belong, if prepared to maintain that the alleged irregularity has not been committed, is free to appeal within the term of six days direct to the Commissioner. If satisfied with the explanations, the Super- intendent will direct the release of the ship or goods; otherwise, if he elect not so to appeal to the Customs, or if, after receiving his explanations, the Superintendent still decline to release the ship or goods, he may appeal to his Consul, who will write to inform the Superintendent of the particulars of his appeal, and to request him, the Superintendent, to name a day for the public investigation of the evidence on which the action of the Customs is founded.

Art. II. The Superintendent, on receipt of the Consul's communication, will name a day for meeting him at the Custom Ilouse, and the Consul will desire the merchant to appear with the witnesses at the Custom House on the day named, and will himself on that day proceed to the Custom House. The Superintendent will invite the Consul to take his seat with him.

　　　　　　　The Commissioner of Customs will also be seated to assist the Superintendent. Proceedings will be opened by the Superintendent, who will call on the Customs employés who have seized the ship or goods, to state the circumstance which occasioned the seizure, and will question them according to their evidence. Whatever the merchant interested may have to state in contradiction of their evidence he will state to the Consul, who will cross-examine them for him. Such will be the proceedings in the interest of truth and fairness.

146

ARTICLES BETWEEN MR. WADE AND PRINCE KUNG,

　　　　　The Consul and Superintendent may, if they see fit, appoint Deputies to meet at the Custom House in their stead, in which case the order of proceeding will be the same as if they were present in person.

Art. III. Notes will be taken of the statements of all parties examined, and the paper containing these will be signed and sealed by the Consul and the Super- intendent. The room will be then cleared, and the Superintendent will inform the Consul of the course he proposes to pursue. If he propose to confiscate the vessel or goods, and the Consul having given notice of the appeal to the Superintendent, they will forward copies of the above notes, the Consul to his Minister, and the Super- intendent to the Yamen of Foreign Affairs at Peking. If the Consul agrees with the Superintendent that the ship or goods ought to be confiscated, the merchant will not be entitled to appeal. In no case will the release of ship or goods entitle the merchant to indemnification for the seizure, whether these be released after the investigation at the Custom House, or after appeal to the high authorities of both nations at Peking. Art. IV. The case being referred to superior authority, the merchant interested shall be at liberty to give a bond, binding himself to pay the full value of his ship or goods attached, should the ultimate decision be against him, which bond being sealed with the Consular Seal, and deposited with the Superintendent, the Superintendent will restore to the merchant the ship or goods attached, and when the superior authority shall have decided whether so such money is to be paid, or the whole of the property seized confiscated, the merchant will be called on to pay accordingly.

If the merchant decline to give the necessary security, the ship or merchandize attached will be detained. But whether the decision of the superior authority be favorable to the appellant or not, the appellant will not be entitled to claim indemnity.

　　　　　　　Art. II.-The Representative of His Imperial Majesty the Emperor of France, when visiting Peking to exchange Treaty Ratifications, shall, whether on the way or at the capital, be treated by all Chinese officials with the highest consideration.

The fourth Article of the Treaty concluded at Tientsin in the year 1853, by which it was provided that an Indemnity of Two Millions of Taels should be paid by the Chinese Government, is hereby annulled; and it is agreed, in the stead thereof, that the amount of the Indemnity shall be Eight Millions of Taels. [Of that sum] the Canton Customs last year paid Three hundred and thirty-three thousand three hundred and thirty-three Taels; the remainder (Tls. 7,666,666) shall be collected from the various Custom Houses, which shall way quarterly one-fifth of duties received by them, and the first quarterly payment shall be due on the 31st December, 1860.

VII.-On the day on which the Ministers of the two countries affix their seals and signatures, the port of Tientsin, in the province of Chih-le, shall be opened to trade on the same conditions as the other ports. The provisions of the present Convention shall take effect from the day on which it is signed, no separate Ratifica tion of the same being necessary: they shall be observed and enforced just as if forming part of the text of the Treaty of Tientsin.

　　　Art. X.-A mistake having crept into the text of the 22nd Article of the Treaty concluded at Tientsin in the year 1858, to the effect that Tonnage Dues would be Mace per ton, it is now agreed that on vessels of more than one hundred and fifty charged on French ships over one hundred and fifty tons burthen at the rate of Five tons Tonnage Dues shall be levied at the rate of Four mace per ton; on vessels oft than one hundred and fifty tons, One mace per ton shall be collected.

STATES AND CHINA.

Ratified 23rd November, 1869.

Whereas since the conclusion of the treaty between the United States of America and the Ta-Tsing Empire (China) of the 18th of June, 1858, circumstances have arisen showing the necessity of additional articles thereto, the President of the United States and the august Sovereign of the Ta-Tsing Empire having named for their plenipotentiaries, to wit: the President of the United States of America, William H. Seward, Secretary of State, and His Majesty the Emperor of China, Anson Burlingame, accredited as his Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary, and Chih-Kang and Sun Chia-Ku, of the second Chinese rank, associated High Envoys and Ministers of his said Majesty, and the said plenipotentiaries after having exchanged their full powers, found to be in due and proper form, have agreed upon the following articles :-

　　　　　　Art. L-His Majesty the Emperor of China, being of the opinion that in making concessions to the citizens or subjects of foreign powers of the privilege of residing on certain tracts of land, or resorting to certain waters of that Empire for purposes of trade, he has by no means relinquished his right of eminent domain or dominion over the said land and waters, hereby agrees that no such concession or grant shall be constructed to give to any power or party which may be at war with or hostile to the United States the right to attack the citizens of the United States or their pro. perty within the said lands or waters; and the United States, for themselves, hereby agree to abstain from offensively attacking the citizens or subjects of any power or party or their property with which they may be at war on any such tract of land or waters of the said Empire; but nothing in this article shall be constructed to prevent the United States from resisting an attack by any hostile power or party upon their citizens or their property. It is further agreed that if any right of interest in any tract of land in China has been or shall hereafter be granted by the Government of China to the United States or their citizens for purposes of trade or commerce, that grant shall in no eveut be construed to divest the Chinese authorities of their right of jurisdiction over persons and said property within said tract of land, except so far as that right may have been expressly relinquished by treaty.

Art. II. The United States of America and His Majesty the Emperor of China, believing that the safety and prosperity of commerce will thereby best be promoted, agree that any privilege or immunity in respect to trade or navigation within the Chinese dominions which may not have been stipulated by treaty shall be subject to the discretion of the Chinese Government, and may be regulated by it accordingly, but not in a manner or spirit incompatible with the treaty stipulations of the parties.

　　　　　　Art. III.-The Emperor of China shall have the right to appoint Consuls at porta of the United States, who shall enjoy the same privileges and immunities as those which are erjoyed by public law and treaty in the United States by the Consuls of Great Britain and Russia, or either of them.

　　　　　　Art. IV.-The 29th article of the treaty of the 18th of June, 1858, having stipu- lated for the exemption of Christian citizens of the United States and Chinese converts from persecution in China on account of their faith, it is further agreed that the citizens of the United States in China, of every religious persuasion, and Chinese

170

　　　　　　　　ADDITIONAL TREATY BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES AND CHINA. subjects in the United States shall enjoy entire liberty of conscience, and shall be exempt from all disability or persecution on account of their religious faith or worship in either country. Cemeteries for sepulture of the dead of whatever nativity or nationality shall be held in respect, and free from disturbance or profanation.

Art. V. The United States of America and the Empire of China cordially recog- nise the inherent and inalienable right of man to change his home and allegiance, and also the mutual advantage of the free migration and emigration of their citizens and subjects respectively from the one country to the other, for the purposes of curiosity, trade, or as permanent residents. The high contracting parties, therefore, join in reprobating any other than an entirely voluntary emigration for these purposes. They consequently agree to pass laws making it a penal offence for a citizen of the United States to take Chinese subjects either to the United States or to any other foreign country, or for a Chinese subject to take the citizens of the United States to China or to any other foreign country, without their free and voluntary consent respectively.

　　　　Art. VI.-Citizens of the United States visiting or residing in China shall enjoy the same privileges, immunities, or exemptions in respect to travel or residence as may there be enjoyed by the citizens or subjects of the most favoured nation, and, recipro- cally, Chinese subjects visiting or residing in the United States shall enjoy the same privileges, immunities, and exemptions in respect to travel or residence as may there Le enjoyed by the citizens or subjects of the most favoured nation.

Art. VII.-The United States and the Empire of China, 1ecognising in the present progress of nations a favourable tendency towards unity of civilisation, and regarding a unity of money and a unity of weights and of measures as favourable to that great object, do hereby agree that they will use their influence and efforts to obtain the estab- lishment, by the general agreement of nations, of representative coins having a common value, and also a common standard of weights and measures for all countries.

　　　　　Art. VIII.-The United States freely agree that Chinese subjects shall without hindrance on account of their nationality or religion be admitted to all schools, colleges, and other public educational institutions, without being subject to any religious or political test; and, on the other hand, His Majesty the Emperor of China agrees that citizens of the United States may freely establish and maintain schools in that empire in those places where foreigners are permitted by treaty to reside.

Art. IX. The United States, always disclaiming and discouraging all practices of unnecessary dictation and intervention by one nation in the affairs or domestic administration of the another, do hereby freely disclaim any intention or right to interfere in the domestic administration of China in regard to the construction of railroads, telegraphs, or other material internal improvements. On the other hand, His Majesty the Emperor of China reserves to himself the right to decide the time and manner and circumstances of introducing such improvements within his dominions. With this mutual understanding it is agreed by the contracting parties that if at any time hereafter his Imperial Majesty shall determine to construct or cause to be co structed works of the character mentioned within the empire, and shall make applica tion to the United States or any other Western Power for facilities to carry out that policy, the United States will, in that case, designate and authorise suitable engineers to be employed by the Chinese Government, and will recommend to other nations an equal compliance with such application, the Chinese Government, in that case, pro- tecting such engineers in their persons and property, and paying them a reasonable compensation for their service.

In faith whereof the respective plenipotentiaries have signed this treaty and

bereto affixed the seals of their arms.

　　　　　REGULATION I.-Within forty-eight hours (Sunday excepted) after the arrival of a British ship in a Japanese port, the captain or commander shall exhibit to the Japanese Custom-house authorities the receipt of the British Consul, showing that he has deposited all the ship's papers, the ship's bills of lading, &c., at the British Consulate, and he shall then make an entry of his ship, by giving a written paper, stating the name of the ship, and the name of the port from which she comes, her tonnage, the name of her captain or commander, the names of her passengers (if any), and the number of her crew, which paper shall be certified by the captain or commander to be a true statement, and shall be signed by him; he shall, at the same time, deposit a written manifest of his cargo, setting forth the marks and numbers of the packages, and their contents, as they are described in his bills of lading, with the names of the persons or person to whom they are consigned. A list of the stores of the ship shall be added to the manifest. The captain or commander shall certify the manifest to be a true account of all the cargo and stores on board the ship, and shall sign his name

to the same.

　　　　If any error is discovered in the manifest, it may be corrected within twenty-four hours (Sunday excepted) without the payment of any fees, but for any alteration or post entry to the manifest made after that time, a fee of fifteen dollars shall be paid.

All goods not entered on the manifest shall pay double duties on being landed. Any captain or commander that shall neglect to enter his vessel at the Japanese Custom-house within the time prescribed by this regulation, shall pay a penalty of sixty dollars for each day that he shall so neglect to enter his ship.

All

REGULATION II.-The Japanese Government shall have the right to place Custom- house officers on board of any ship in their ports (men-of-war excepted). Custom-house officers shall be treated with civility, and such reasonable accommodation shall be allotted to them as the ship affords.

　　　　No goods shall be unladen from any ship between the hours of sunset and sunrise, except by special permission of the Custom-house authorities, and the hatchway, and all other places of entrance into that part of the ship where the cargo is stowed, may be secured by Japanese officers between the hours of sunset and sunrise, by fixing seals, locks, or other fastening; and if any person shall, without due permission open any entrance that has been affixed by the Japanese Custom-house officers, every person

so offending shall pay a fine of sixty dollars for each offence.

REGULATIONS FOR BRITISH TRADE WITH JAPAN.

183

Vessels needing repairs may land their cargo for that purpose, without the pay- ment of duty. All goods so landed shall remain in charge of the Japanese authorities, and all just charges for storage, labour, and supervision, shall be paid thereon. But if any portion of such cargo be sold, the regular duties shall be paid on the portion so disposed of.

　　　　　　　Cargo may be transhipped to another vessel in the same harbor without payment of duty, but all transhipment shall be made under the supervision of Japanese officers, and after satisfactory proof has been given to the Custom House authorities of the bona fide nature of the transaction, and also under a permit to be granted for that purpose by such authorities.

The importation of opium being prohibited, any British vessel coming to Japan for the purposes of trade, and having more than three catties' weight of opium on board, the surplus quantity may be seized and destroyed by the Japanese authorities; and any persons smuggling, or attempting to smuggle opium, shall be liable to pay a fine of fifteen dollars for each catty of opium so smuggled or attempted to be smuggled.

REGULATION III.--The owner or consignee of any goods who desires to land them, shall make an entry of the same at the Japanese Custom House. The entry shall be in writing, and shall set forth the name of the person making the entry, and the name of the ship in which the goods were imported, and the marks, numbers, packages, and the contents thereof, with the value of each package, extended separately in one amount, and at the bottom of the entry shall be placed the aggregate value of all the goods contained in the entry. On each entry, the owner or consignee shall certify in writing that the entry then presented exhibits the actual cost of the goods, and that nothing has been concealed whereby the Customs of Japan would be defrauded, and the owner or consignee shall sign his name to such certificate.

　　　　　　　The Japanese officers may examine any or all the packages so entered, and for this purpose may take them to the Custom House; but such be without expense to the importer or injury to the goods; and, after examination, the Japanese shall restore the goods to their original condition in the packages (so far as may be prac- ticable), and such examination shall be made without any unreasonable delay.

　　　　　　If any owner or importer discovers that his goods have been damaged on the voyage of importation before such goods have been delivered to him, he may notify the Custom House authorities of such damage, and he may have the damaged goods appraised by two or more competent and disinterested persons, who after the Que examination, shall make a certification, setting forth the amount per cent. of damage on each separate package, describing it by its mark and number, which certificate shall be signed by the appraisers, in presence of the Custom House authorities, and the importer may attach the certificate to his entry, and make a corresponding deduction from it.

But this shall not prevent the Custom House authorities from appraising the goods in the manner provided in Article XV. of the Treaty, to which these Regulations are appended.

　　　　　　After the duties have been paid, the owner shall receive a permit, authorising the de- livery to him of the goods, whether the same are at the Custom House or on ship-board.

　　　　　　All goods intended to be exported shall be entered at the Japanese Custom House before they are placed on ship-board. The entry shall be in writing, and shall state the name of the ship by which the goods are to be exported, with the mark and number of the packages, and the quantity, description, and value of their contents. The exporter shall certify, in writing, that the entry is a true account of all goods contained therein, and shall sign his name thereto.

No entry at the Custom House shall be required for supplies for the use of the ships, their crews, and passengers, nor for the clothing, &c., of passengers.

184

REGULATIONS FOR BRITISH TRADE WITH JAPAN.

REGULATION IV.-Ships wishing to clear shall give twenty-four hours' notice at the Custom House, and at the end of that time they shall be entitled to their clearance, but if it be refused, the Custom House authorities shall immediately inform the captain or consignee of the ship of the reason why the clearance is refused; and they

shall also give the same notice to the British Consul.

British ships of war shall not be required to enter or clear at the Custom House, nor shall they be visited by Japanese Custom House or police officers.

Steamers conveying the mails from Great Britain may enter and clear on the same day, and they shall not be required to make a manifest, except for such passengers and goods as are to be landed in Japan. But such steamers shall, in all cases, enter and clear at the Custom House.

or steamer.

REGULATION V.-Any persons signing a false declaration or certificate, with the intent to defraud the revenue of Japan, shall pay a fine of one hundred and twenty-

CONVENTION BETWEEN GREAT BRITAIN, FRANCE, THE

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AND HOLLAND,

WITH JAPAN.

The Representatives of Great Britain, France, the United States of America, and Holland, having received from their respective Governments identical instructions for the modification of the Tariff of Import and Export duties contained in the Trade Re- gulations annexed to the Treaties concluded by the aforesaid Powers with the Japanese Government in 1858, which medification is provided for by the VIIth of those Re- gulations:-

　　　　And the Japanese Government having given the said Representatives, during their visit to Osaka, in November, 1865, a written engagement to proceed immediately to the Revision of the Tariff in question, on the general basis of a duty of five per cent. on the value of all articles Imported or Exported; -

And the Government of Japan being desirous of affording a fresh proof of their wish to promote trade and to cement the friendly relations which exist between their country and foreign nations;-

His Excellency Midzuno Idzumi no Kami, a member of the Gorojiu and a Minister of Foreign Affairs, has been furnished by the Government of Japan with the necessary powers to conclude with the Representatives of the above-nanied four Powers, that is

say:

Of Great Britain,

Sir Harry S. Parkes, Knight Commander of the Most IIonorable Order of the Bath, Her Britannic Majesty's Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary in Japan;

Monsieur Leon Roches, Commander of the Imperial Order of the Legion of Honor, Minister Plenipotentiary of His Majesty the Emperor of the French in Japan;

Of the United States of America,

A. L. C. Portman, Esquire, Chargé d'Affairs ad interim;

And of Holland,

Monsieur Dirk de Graeff van Polsbroek, Knight of the Order of the Netherlands Lion, Political Agent and Consul-General of His Majesty the King of the Netherlands;

The following Convention comprising Twelve Articles.

　　　Art. I.-The contracting l'arties declare in the names of their respective Govern- ments that they accept, and they hereby do formally accept as binding upon the sub- jects of their respective Sovereigns, and the citizens of their respective countries, the Tariff hereby established annexed to the present convention.

　　　This tariff is substituted not only for the original tariff attached to the Treaties concluded with the above-named four Powers, but also for the special Conventions and arrangements relative to the same Tariff, which have been entered into at different dates up to this time between the Governments of Great Britain, France, and the United States on one side, and the Japanese Government on the other.

The New Tariff shall come into effect in the Port of Kanagawa (Yokohama), on the first day of July next, and in the ports of Nagasaki and lakodadi on the first day

of the following month.

　　　Art. II. The Tariff attached to this convention being incorporated from the date of its signature in the Treaties concluded between Japan and the above-nanied four

Powers, is subject to revision on the first day of July, 1872.

tracting parties, on giving six months' notice to the others, may claim a re-adjust- Two years, however, after the signing of the present convention, any of the con-

of these articles, during the three years last preceding. On the demand also of any ment of the duties on Tea and Silk, on the basis of five per cent, on the average value of the contracting parties, the duty on timber may be changed from an ad valorem to

a specific rate of six months after the signature of this convention.

NEW CONVENTION BETWEEN THE TREATY POWERS AND JAPAN.

187

　　　　　　Art. III. The permit fee hitherto levied under the VIth Regulation attached to the above-named Treaties, is hereby abolished. Permits for the landing or shipment of cargo will be required as formerly, but will hereafter be issued free of charge.

Art. IV. On and from the first day of July next, at the Port of Kanagawa (Yokohama), and on and from the first day of October next, at the Ports of Nagasaki and Hakodadi, the Japanese Government will be prepared to warehouse imported goods on the application of the importer or owner, without payment of duty. The Japanese Government will be responsible for the safe custody of the goods, so long as they remain in their charge, and will adopt all the precautions necessary to render them insurable against fire. When the importer of the owner wishes to remove the goods from the warehouses, he must pay the duties fixed by the Tariff, but if he should wish to re-export them, he may do so without payment of duty. Storage charges will in either case be paid on delivery of the goods. The amount of these charges, together with the regulations necessary for the management of the said warehouses, will be established by the common consent of the Contracting Parties.

Art. V.-All articles of Japanese production may be conveyed from any place in Japan to any of the Ports open to foreign trade, free of any tax or transit duty, other than the usual tolls levied equally on all traffic, for the maintenance of roads or navigation.

　　　　　　　Art. VI.-In conformity with those articles of the Treaties concluded between Japan and Foreign Powers which stipulate for the circulation of foreign coin at its corresponding weight in native coin of the same description, dollars have hitherto been received at the Japanese Custom House in payment of duties at their weight in Boos (commonly called Ichiboos), that is to say, at a rate of three hundred and eleven Boos per nundred dollars. The Japanese Government being, however, desirous to alter this practice, and to abstain from all interference in the exchange of native for foreign coin, and being also anxious to meet the wants both of native and foreign commerce by securing an adequate issue of native coin, have already determined to enlarge the Japanese Mint, so as to admit of the Japanese Government exchanging into native coin of the same intrinsic value, less only the cost of coinage, at the places named for this purpose, ail foreign coin, or bullion, in gold or silver, that may at any time be tendered to them by foreigners or Japanese. It being essential, however, to the execution of this measure, that the various Powers with whom Japan has concluded Treaties should first consent to modify the stipulations in those Treaties which relate to the currency, the Japanese Government will at once propose to those Powers the adoption of the necessary modification in the said stipulations, and on receiving their concurrence will be prepared from the first of January, 1868, to carry the above measure into effect.

　　　　　　　The rates to be charged as the cost of coinage shall be determined hereafter by the common consent of the Contracting Parties.

　　　　　　　Art. VII.-In order to put a stop to certain abuses and inconveniences complained of at the open Ports, relative to the transaction of business at the Custom House, the landing and shipping of cargoes and the hiring of boats, coolies, servants, &c., the Contracting Parties have agreed that the Governor at each open port shall at once enter into negotiations with the foreign Consuls with a view to the establishment, by mutual consent, of such regulations as shall effectually put an end to these abuses and inconveniences, and afford all possible facility and security both to the operations of trade and to the transactions of individuals.

　　　　　　　It is hereby stipulated that in order to protect merchandize from exposure to weather, these regulations shall include the covering in at each port of one or more of the landing places used by foreigners for landing or shipping cargo.

　　　　　　　Art. VIII-Any Japanese subject shall be free to purchase either in the open Ports of Japan or abroad, every description of sailing or steam vessel intended to carry either passengers or cargo; but ships-of-war may only be obtained under the authorization of the Japanese Government.

　　　　　　All foreign vessels purchased by Japanese subjects shall be registered as Japanese vessels on payment of a fixed duty of three Boos per ton for Steamers, and one Boo

188

per ton for sailing vessels. The tonnage of each vessel shall be proved by the Foreign Register of the ship, which shall be exhibited through the Consul of the party inter- ested on the demand of the Japanese authorities, and shall be certified by the Consul as authentic.

　　　　Art. IX. In conformity with the Treaties concluded between Japan and the aforesaid Powers, and with the special arrangements made by the Envoys of the Japanese Government in their note to the British Government of the sixth of June, 1862, and in their note to the French Government of the sixth of October of the same year, all the restrictions on trade and intercourse between foreigners and Japanese, alluded to in the said notes, have been entirely removed, and proclamations to this effect have already been published by the Government of Japan.

The latter, however, do not hesitate to declare that Japanese merchants and traders of all classes are at liberty to trade directly, and without the interference of government officers, with foreign merchants, not only at the open ports of Japan, but also in all Foreign countries on being authorized to leave their country in the manner provided for in Article X. of the present convention, without being subject to higher taxation by the Japanese Government than that levied on the native trading classes of Japan in their ordinary transactions with each other.

　　　　And they further declare that all Daimios or persons in the employ of Damios, are free to visit on the same condition, any foreign country, as well as all the open Ports of Japan, and to trade there with foreigners as they please, without the inter- ference of any Japanese officer, provided always, they submit to the existing Police regulations and to the payment of the established duties.

Art. X.-All Japanese subjects may ship goods to or from any open Port in Japan, or to and from the Ports of any Foreign Power, either in vessels owned by Japanese or in the vessels of any nation having a Treaty with Japan. Furthermore, on being provided with Passports through the proper Department of the Government, in the manner specified in the Proclamation of the Japanese Government, dated the twenty-third day of May, 1866, all Japanese subjects may travel to any foreign country for purposes of study or trade. They may also accept employment in any capacity on board the vessels of any nation having a Treaty with Japan.

Japanese in the employ of foreigners, may obtain Government Passports to go

abroad on application to the Governor of any open Port.

Art. XI.-The Government of Japan will provide all the Ports open to Foreign trade with such lights, buoys, or beacons, as may be necessary to render secure the navigation of the approaches to the said Ports.

　　　　Art. XII. The undersigned being of opinion that it is unnecessary that this Convention should be submitted to their respective Governments for Ratification. before it comes into operation, it will take effect on and from the first day of July. one thousand eight hundred and sixty-six.

Each of the Contracting Parties having obtained the approval of his Government to this Convention shall make known the same to the others, and the communication in writing of this approval shall take the place of a formal exchange of Ratifications. In witness whereof the above-named Plenipotentiaries have signed the present Convention, and have affixed thereto their seals.

Done at Yeddo, in the English, French, Dutch, and Japanese languages, this

twenty-fifth day of June, one thousand eight hundred and sixty-six.

The interests of all British subjects coming to Siam shall be placed under the regulation and control of a Consul, who will be appointed to reside at Bangkok: he will himself conform to, and will enforce the observance by British subjects of all the provisions of this treaty, and such of the former treaty negotiated by Captain Burney, in 1826, as shall still remain in operation. He shall also give effect to all rules or regulations that are now or may hereafter be enacted for the government of British subjects in Siam, the conduct of their trade, and for the prevention of violations of the laws of Siam. Any disputes arising between British and Siamese subjects shall be heard and determined by the Consul, in conjunction with the proper Siamese officers; and criminal offences will be punished, in the case of English offenders, by their own laws, through the Siamese authorities. But the Consul shall not interfere in any matters referring solely to Siamese, neither will the Siamese authorities inter- fere in questions which only concern the subjects of Her Britannic Majesty.

It is understood, however, that the arrival of the British Consul at Bangkok shall not take place before the ratification of this treaty, nor until 10 vessels owned by British subjects, sailing under British colors and with British papers, shall have entered the port of Bangkok for the purpose of trade, subsequent to the signing of this treaty.

　　　　　　　Art. III.-If Siamese in the employ of British subjects offend against the laws of their country, or if any Siamese having so offended, or desiring to desert, take refuge with a British subject in Siam, they shall be searched for, and upon proof of their guilt or desertion, shall be delivered up by the Consul to the Siamese authorities. In like manner any British offenders resident or trading in Siam, who may desert, escape to, or hide themselves in Siamese territory, shall be apprehended and delivered over to the British Consul on his requisition. Chinese not able to prove themselves to be British subjects, shall not be considered as such by the British Consul, nor be entitled to this protection.

　　　　　　　Art. IV.-British subjects are permitted to trade freely in all the seaports of Siam, but may reside permanently only at Bangkok, or within the limits assigned by this Treaty. British subjects coming to reside at Bangkok may rent land, and buy or build houses, but cannot purchase land within a circuit of 200 sen (not more than 4 miles English) from the city walls, until they shall have lived in Siam for ten years, or shall obtain special authority from the Siamese Government to enable them to do so.

Whereupon he and his property shall be placed under the protection of the Governor of the district and that of the particular local authorities; he shall conform, in ordinary matters, to any just directions given him by them, and will be subject to the same taxation that is levied on Siamese subjects. But if through negligence, and want of Capital, or other cause, a subject should fail to commence the cultivation or improvement of the lands so acquired within a term of three years from the date of receiving possession thereof, the Siamese Government shall have the power of resuming the property, upon returning to the British subject the purchase-money paid by him for the same.

Art. V.--All British subjects intending to reside in Siam shall be registered at the British Consulate.

But within the limits, appointed under the pre- ceding article, British subjects are at liberty to travel to and fro under protection of a pass, to be furnished them by the British Consul, and counter-sealed by the proper Siamese officer, stating, in the Siamese character, their names, calling, and description. The Siamese officers at the Government station in the interior may, at any time, cali for the production of this pass, and immediately on its being exhibited, they must allow the parties to proceed: but it will be their duty to detain those persons who, by travelling without a pass from the Consul, render themselves liable to the suspicion of their being deserters; and such detention shall be immediately reported to the Consul Art. VI.-All British subjects visiting or residing in Siam, shall be allowed the free exercise of the Christian religion, and liberty to build churches in such localities as shall be consented to by the Siamese authorities.

The Siamese government will

or in any other capacity

place no restrictions upon the employment by the English of Siamese subjects as servants, But whenever a Siamese subject belongs or owes service to some particular master, the servant who engages himself to a British subject without the consent of his master may be reclaimed by him; and the Siamese government will unless made with the knowledge and consent of the master, who has a right to dispose

VII.-British ships of war may enter the river, and anchor at Paknam, but they shall not proceed above Paknan, unless with the consent of the Siamese aut rities, which shall be given when it is necessary that a ship shall go into dock for repairs. Any British ship of war conveying to Šiam a public functionary accredited by Her Majesty's Government to the Court of Bangkok, shall be allowed to come up to Bangkok, but shali not pass the forts called Pong Phirachamit and Pit-patch-nuck: unless expressly permitted to do so by the Siamese government; but in the absence of a British ship of war, the Siamese authorities engage to furnish the Consul with force sufficient to enable him to give effect to his authority over British subjects, and

to enforce discipline among British shipping.

Bangkok under the treaty of 1826 shall be abolished from the date of this treaty coming Art. VIII. The measurement duty hitherto paid by British vessels trading to into operation, and British shipping and trade will henceforth be only subject to the y ment of import and export duties on the goods landed or shipped.

of duty shall be allowed upon goods found unsaleable and re-exported. Should the British merchant and the Custom House officers disagree as to the value to be set upon imported articles, such disputes shall be referred to the Consul and proper Siamese officer, who shall each have the power to call in an equal number of merchants as assessors, not exceeding two on either side, to assist them in coming to an equitable decision.

Opium may be imported free of duty, but can only be sold to the opium farmer or his agents. In the event of no arrangement being effected with them for the sale of the opium, it shall be re-exported, and no impost or duty shall be levied thereon. Any infringement of this regulation shall subject the opium to seizure and confiscation.

Articles of export from the time of production to the date of shipment shall pay one impost only, whether this be levied under the name of inland tax, transit duty, or duty on exportation. The tax or duty to be paid on each article of Siamese produce previous to or upon exportation, is specified in the tariff attached to this Treaty; and it is distinctly agreed that goods or produce which pay any description of tax in the interior, shall be exempted from any further payment of the duty on exportation.

English merchants are to be allowed to purchase directly from the producer the articles in which they trade, and in like manner to sell their goods directly to the parties wishing to purchase the same, without the interference, in either case, of any other person.

The rates of duty laid down in the tariff attached to this Treaty are those that are now paid upon goods or produce shipped in Siamese or Chinese vessels or junks; and it is agreed that British shipping shall enjoy all the privileges now exercised by, or which hereafter may be granted to, Siamese or Chinese vessels or junks.

　　　　　　　　British subjects will be allowed to build ships in Siam, on obtaining permission to do so from the Siamese authorities.

Bullion or personal effects may be imported free of charge.

Art. IX.

All fines and penalties inflicted for infraction of the provisions and regulations of this Treaty shall be paid to the Siamese Government.

　　　　　　　Until the British Consul shall arrive at Bangkok, and enter upon his functions, the consignees of British vessels shall be at liberty to settle with the Siamese autho- rities all questions relating to their trade.

Art. X.-The British Government and its subjects will be allowed free and equal participation in any privileges that may have been, or may hereafter be granted by the Siamese Government to the Government or subjects of any other nation.

Art. XI.-After the lapse of ten years from the date of the ratification of this Treaty, upon the desire of either the British or Siamese Government, and on twelve months' notice being given by either party, the present and such portions of the Treaty of 1826 as remain unrevoked by this Treaty, together with the Tariff and Regulations hereunto annexed, or those that may hereafter be introduced, shall be subject to revision by Commissioners appointed on both sides for this purpose, who will be empowered to decide on and insert therein such amendments as experience shall prove to be desirable.

　　　　Art. III.-Subjects of the Contracting German States visiting Siam, or taking up their residence there, shall be allowed free exercise of their religion, and they shall be at liberty to build churches in such convenient localities as shall be consented to by the Siamese authorities, and such consent shall not be withheld, without sufficient reason being assigned.

IV.-Subjects of the Contracting German States wishing to reside in the Kingdom of Siam, must be registered at the German Consulate, and a copy of this registration must be furnished to the Siamese authorities.

The Siamese Government will then convey the property to the German purchaser. All landed property of German subjects shall be under the protection of the district Governor and the local authorities, but the proprietors shall conform in ordinary matters to an equitable direction proceeding from the said authorities, and shall be subject to the same taxation as the subjects or citizens of the most favored nation.

　　　　　　　　I. In the Construction of this Act, the Term "Chinese Passenger Ships" shall include every ship carrying from any port in Hongkong, and every British ship carrying from any port in China or within one hundred miles of the coast thereof, more than twenty passengers, being natives of Asia; the word "Colony" shall include all Her Majesty's Possessions abroad not being under the Government of the East India Com- pany; the word "Governor" shall signify the person for the time being lawfully administering the Government of such colony; the terin "Legislature of Hongkong shall signify the Governor and Legislative Council or other legislative authority of the same for the time being; the word "Ship" shall include all seagoing vessels; the term "Commander" and "Master" of any ship shall include any person for the time "command or charge of the same;" the term "Emigration Officer shall being include every person lawfully acting as emigration officer, immigration agent or pro- tector of emigrants, and every person authorized by the Governor of any British colony to carry out the Provisions of this Act; and the term "British Consul" shall include every person lawfully exercising Consular authority on behalf of Her Majesty in any foreign port.

II-It shall be lawful for the Legislature of Hongkong, by any ordinance to be by them enacted for that purpose, to make regulations respecting Chinese passenger ships, and, in the case of British ships, respecting the treatment of the passengers therein while at sea; and until such enactment, the Regulations contained in Schedule (A.) to this Act annexed shall be in force: Provided always, that no such ordinance shall come into operation until Her Majesty's confirmation of the same shall have been proclaimed in Hongkong by the Governor thereof.

III-It shall be lawful for the Governor of Hongkong to declare, by proclamation, for the purposes of this Act and of the said regulations, what shall be deemed to be the duration of the voyage of any Chinese passenger ship, and by such proclamation to alter the scales of dietary, medicines, and medical comforts contained in the afore- said schedule (A.)

　　　　　　　IV.-No Chinese passenger ship shall clear out or proceed to sea on any voyage of more than seven days' duration until the master thereof shall have received from an emigration officer a copy of the aforesaid regulations, and a certificate in the form contained in schedule B. to this Act annexed, or in such other form as may be pre-

232

CHINESE PASSENGERS' ACT.

　　　　scribed by the said Legislature, which copy and certificate, with any documents to be attached thereto (hereinafter designated as emigration papers), shall be signed by the said emigration officer, nor until the master shall, with two sufficient sureties, to be approved by the said emigration officer, have entered into a joint and several bond in the sum of one thousand pounds to Her Majesty, her heirs and successors, in the form contained in schedule C. to this Act annexed, or in such other form as shall be prescribed by the said Legislature.

V.-The said penal sum of one thousand pounds shall be due and recoverable notwithstanding any penalty or forfeiture imposed by this Act or by the aforesaid regulations, and whether such penalties or forfeitures shall have been sued for and

recovered or not.

IV.-It shall be lawful for commanders of any of Her Majesty's ships of war, or for any emigration fficer, Custom House officer, or British Consul, to enter aud search any Chinese passenger ship (being a British vessel or within British Jurisdiction) so long as such ship shall have any passengers on board, and for forty-eight hours after. wards, and in case such ship shall be engaged on a voyage of more than seven days' duration, to require the production of the emigration papers of such ship, and to examine all persons on board of the same, in order to ascertain whether the visions of this Act, and of the regulations aforesaid, have been complied with: and any person who refuses to allow, attempts to avoid, or obstructs any such entry, search, or examination, or who, knowingly misleads or deceives any person lawfully making any such search or examination, or who, being the måster of the ship or having the emigration papers in his custody, fails to produce the same when required as aforesaid, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor.

pro-

　　　　　VII.-In case of any neglect or refusal to comply with any of the provisions of this Act or any of the regulations aforesaid or to perform any stipulation in any of the contracts made with the passengers, the master of the ship, and any other persons who may have been guilty of, or have aided or abetted such neglect or refusal, shall each be deemed for each offence guilty of misdemeanor,

　　　　　VIII-If any Chinese passenger ship clears out or proceeds to sea on any voyage exceeding seven days' duration without such emigration papers as aforesaid, or if the emigration papers of any Chinese passenger ship are forged or

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　passenger ship are forged or fraudulently altered, such ship shall, if she is a British ship, or if, not being a British ship, the offence is committed and the ship is seized in Her Majesty's dominions or in the territories of the East India Company, be forfeited to Her Majesty.

　　　　　IX.-Every person who commits or aids or abets in committing any act or default by which any Chinese passenger ship may become liable to forfeiture shall be liable to a penalty not exceeding one hundred pounds for each offence.

　　　　　X.-It shall be lawful for any commissioned officer on full pay in the military or naval service of Her Majesty, or any British officer of customs, or any British Consul, to seize and detain any ship which has become subject to forfeiture as aforesaid, and bring her for adjudication before the High Court of Admiralty in England or Ireland, or any court having Admiralty Jurisdiction in Her Majesty's dominions, or the terri tories of the East India Company, and such court may thereupon make such order in the case it thinks fit, and may award such portion of the proceeds of the sale on any forfeited ship as it thinks right to the officer bringing in the same for adjudication, or to any persons damaged by the act of default which has rendered the ship liable

to forfeiture.

XI.-No such officer as aforesaid shall be responsible, either civilly or criminally, to any person whomsoever in respect of the seizure or detention of any ship that has been seized or detained by him in pursuance of the provisions herein contained, not- withstanding that such ship is not brought in for adjudication, or, if so brought in, is declared not to be liable to forfeiture, if it is shown to the satisfaction of the judge or court before whom any trial relating to such ship or such seizure or detention is held, that there are reasonable grounds for such seizure or detention, but if no such grounds are shown, such judge or court may award payment of costs and damages to any party aggrieved, and make such other order in the premises as he or it thinks just.

CHINESE PASSENGERS' ACT.

233

　　　　　　　　　XII.-It shall be lawful for the court before which any ship liable to forfeiture under this act is proceeded against, to impose such a pecuniary penalty as to the same court shall seem fit, in lieu of condemning the ship, and in such case to cause the ship to be detained until the penalty is paid, and to cause any penalty so imposed to be applied in the same manner in which the proceeds of the said ship, if condemned and sold by order of the court, would have been applicable.

　　　　　　　　XJII-All misdemeanors and other criminal offences punishable under this Act shall be dealt with, tried, and judged of in the same manner as misdemeanors and other offences punishable under the Merchant Shipping Act, 1854, and all the rules of law, practice, or evidence applicable to the last mentioned misdemeanors and offences ehall be applicable to misdemeanors and other offences under this act.

XV. În any legal proceedings taken under this Act, or in respect of the bond herein-before required, any document purporting to be the written declaration of any British Consul, or of the commander of any of Her Majesty's ships of war, or to be a copy of the proceedings of any court of justice, shall without any proof of signature be received in evidence, in case it shall appear that such copy or declaration, if pro- duced in the United Kingdom, was officially transmitted to one of Her Majesty's principal Secretaries of State, or if produced in any colony, was officially transmitted to the Governor thereof. Provided always, that no person making such written de- claration as aforesaid shall be capable of receiving a share of any penalty or forfeiture which shall be procured by such written declaration.

XVI. This Act may be cited for any purpose whatever under the name of the "Chinese Passengers' Act, 1855."

　　　　　　　　XVII. This Act shall come into operation as soon as it shall have been pro- claimed in Hongkong by the Governor thereof, or if not so proclaimed, on the first day of January next ensuing.

SUMMARY OF CHINESE PASSENGERS ACT.

EMIGRATION OFFICE, HONGKONG, 26th December, 1860. Whereas much ignorance prevails in this port as to the laws and regulations affect. ing Chinese passenger ships, leading to perpetual reference, by ship masters and mer chants, to the emigration officer, for information on matters of ordinary detail and standing rule: and whereas the laws and regulations alluded to are contained in various imperial acts, local ordinances, and proclamations, and decisions of the emigration commissioners, on matters arising out of the working of the system since it came into force;-(some of which documents are not easily procurable by the parties interested) it is therefore considered expedient by the emigration officer to publish in a condensed form the leading rules in force in this port relating to all private Chinese passenger ships and passengers, and as far as the provisions of the Imperial Act are concerned, to ships chartered by a British government emigration agent.

Any vessel clearing with more than 20 Asiatic passengers, on any voyage of more than 7 days' duration, is a "Chinese passenger ship" under the Act.

I.-The ship laid on for passengers, the master will notify the emigration officer by letter, of the fact, specifying the estimated number of passengers she can carry br surveyor's certificate, her destination, and the name of the licensed passage broker employed.

Note.-After which, the emigration officer will take an early opportunity to inspect

the ship.

II.-When the full quantity of passengers' provisions is on board, the master shall notify the emigration officer of the fact, who will as soon as possible thereafter, go off and inspect them.

Note. The provisions must be all placed in the between decks or on the upper

deck, and not be stowed away in the hold, until after inspection.

passage

　　　　　III. When the ship is ready to receive the passengers on board, the broker will bring a written notice to that effect from the master, when a time will be fixed for the attendance of the passengers at this office to have their contract passage tickets explained and signed, in the presence of the broker or his deputy.

Note. This notice must be given at least 24 hours before the passengers appear at this office, and on the same day the master, with two approved sureties. will attend and execute the bond under section 4 of the "Chinese Passengers Act, 1855," and deposit the following documents :--

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

CHINESE PASSENGERS' ACT.

247

2-Master's certificate relative to Chinese doctor (provided he fails in securing

an European surgeon for a reasonable remuneration).

3.-Certificate under the chop seals of two Chinese apothecaries' shops, vouching

for competency of doctor.

　　　　　　　IV. List of provisions and medicines, according to the scale laid down in the Act, signed by the master.

V.-Certificate of a resident physician that he has examined the medicines, that they are good, and in accordance with the requirements of the Act.

VI.-Passenger list in duplicate, with a summary attached, specifying the numbers respectively of passengers, under the Act, cabin passengers, crew, including master and all persons on ship's articles; showing total number of souls on board, signed by master.

Note.-Chinese cooks, stewards, interpreter, doctor, &c., are invariably passengers, berthed and fed with the others, although borne by law on the ship's articles for purposes of discipline. In future, their names, with their rating on board, will appear at the end of the passenger lists, and they will be included in the gross number that the ship can carry, but numerically they will be entered, as heretofore, under the head of "crew on ship's articles.' About 4 cooks and stewards to every 100 passengers has been the rule.

VII. Either at this time or after the passengers are collected on board they must be inspected individually by a resident surgeon, who must also inspect the crew and give his certificate that none appear, by reason of any bodily or mental disease, unfit to proceed or likely to endanger the health or safety of other persons about to proceed, in such vessel. VIII.-The master will give notice when all the passengers are on board, and when he wishes to clear for sea.

Note. The broker must personally assure himself that every passenger is on board and report to that effect, after which the emigration officer will proceed on board, muster and count the passengers, and make a final inspection of the ship. After this is done, and not before, the ship is at liberty so shift her berth, if it is desired; the master mentioning the fact to the Harbour- Master; who will then deliver to him his emigration papers and port clearance.

In the fitting up and equipment of Chinese passenger ships, the following general rules will obtain,-

　　　　　　　1.-Ships with full compliment of passengers, shall carry boats according to the following scale, or size and description, approved by the emigration officer :-

Note.-In every case one boat must be a properly fitted life boat, and one a long

boat.

II.-Ships must carry at least 2 life buoys, slung, prepared for sudden emergencies. III. In the absence of a forcepump and hose, reaching fore and aft, a ship must be provided with not less that 3 dozen buckets, in case of fire.

　　　　　　　IV. Every hatchway leading into passengers' quarters must be covered by a well secured house about six feet high, having as much ventilation as is compatible with strength, and being water tight. The hatches are not to be closed during the voyage, unless stress of weather demands it.

Note.-When women are carried, they must have a separate hatchway entrance, apart from the males; and the male and female quarters must be divided by a strong bulkhead with no door or aperture in it, The female quarters must be aft, as also the water closets for their use.

V. The berths, cooking cabooses, water closets, &c., must be all properly secured,

*248

and the master must provide himself with two or three spare rice boilers, as they are very brittle, and liable to accident.

　　　　　VI. In the very important particular of ventilation, the Government Notification No. 15, of the 22nd April, 1856, is republished here, being not generally known.

No. 15.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.

　　　　　It is hereby notified for the information of masters of ships carrying Chinese passengers, and unprovided with the improved appliances usually found in vessels of modern construction, and generally for the information of all interested, that in addition to a windsail for every hatchway, it is required that a constant supply of fresh air be ensured to the between decks in bad weather, by fitting, at each end of the space set apart for passengers, two funnels of wood or metal, four in all, with moveable heads, in manner following, that is to say-the body of the air funnel to reach from underneath the lowermost deck overhead to a height of 3 or 4 feet above the uppermost deck, and to pass through holes cut for the purpose in either side of the deck, and made water-tight by a canvas coat or other suitable means.

The attention of the emigration officer has been called to the above regulation.

By Order,

W. T. MERCER,

Colonial Secretary.

Colonial Secretary's Office, Victoria, Hongkong, 22nd April, 1856.

Note. This regulation will be strictly enforced in every vessel crossing the tropics. And no vessel in which any part of the passenger deck is in total darkness, requiring artificial light, consuming oxygen, will be passed by the emigration officer as fit to carry passengers

Other questions affecting Chinese passenger ships, such as length of voyages, regulating supply of provisions; cabin passengers; description and stowage of cargo; stowage of water, &c., &c., and many items of detail differing in vessels of different tonnage and build, and in those carrying a greater or less number of passengers, canl be settled definitely on application to the emigration officer at this office.

NOTIFICATION.

　　　　Considerable difficulty and many disputes having arisen during the last emigra- tion season consequent on the authorities at San Francisco having determined to enforce the operation of the United States' law on emigrant vessels arriving at that port: The undersigned deems it right to advise charterers and masters of ships con veying Chinese emigrants to ports in the United States, that, although they have an undoubted right to clear hence under British law, it will be better for them, until the laws of the two countries on Chinese emigration be assimilated, that they should not enter into engagements to convey more passengers in their ships than will meet the requirements of the laws of the country to which they are proceeding.

EXTRACT OF AN ACT FOR THE REGISTERING, ENROLLING, AND LICENSING OF SHIPS OR VESSELS OF THE

UNITED STATES.

How Foreign bailt vessels can be owned by Citizens of the United States.

Art. 73.-On questions submitted to this department, as to what documents can be issued under the laws of the United States to foreign built vessels purchased and wholly owned by citizens of the United States, whether purchased of belligerents or neutrals during a war to which the United States are not a party, or in peace, of foreign owners, it has been decided as follows:-

Vessels so purchased and owned are entitled to the protection of the authorities and flag of the United States, as the property of American citizens, although no register, enrolment, licence, or other marine document, prescribed by the United States can be lawfully issued to such vessels,

Art. 74. To enable, however, the owners of a vessel so circumstanced to protect their rights, if molested or questioned, the collector of the customs, though forbidden by law to grant any marine document or certificate of ownership, may lawfully make record of the bill of sale in his office, authenticate its validity in form and substance, and deliver to the owner a certificate to that effect; certifying, also, that the owner is a citizen of the United States.

Art. 75.-These facts, thus authenticated, if the transfer was in good faith, entitle the vessel to protection as the lawful property of a citizen of the United States; and the authentication of the bill of sale and of citizenship will be prima facie proof of such good faith.

Art. 76. In all cases, therefore, where the evidence of the purchase of a foreign vessel by a citizen of the United States, with proof of citizenship and of the bona fide character of the purchase, shall be furnished to the collector of the customs, he will, if the proof be satisfactory, and purchase deemed fair, record the bill of sale in his office, and deliver to the party the original, with a certificate endorsed thereon in the following form, to wit:

Collector of the Customs for the Port

　　　　　　　　Art. 77.-Before granting such certificate, the collector of the customs will require the tonnage of the vessel to be duly ascertained in pursuance of Law, and insert the same in the description of the vessel in his certificate.

Art. 78.-It will be distinctly understood, however, that vessels not registered,

258

AMERICAN PASSENGERS' ACT.

enrolled or licensed, under the laws of the United States, wholly owned by citizens thereof, cannot legally import goods, wares, or merchandize from foreign ports, and are subjected in the coasting trade, to disabilities and exactions from which documented vessels of the United States are exempted.

Art. 79.-On arrival from a foreign port, such undocumented vessels, if laden with goods, wares, and merchandize will, with their cargoes, be subject to forfeiture. If in ballast only, or with passengers without cargo, they will be subject to tonnage duty of one dollar per ton.

CONSULAR INSTRUCTIONS. [No. 9.

To Collectors and other Officers of the Customs.

TREASURY DEPARTMENT, June 6th, 1861.

The particular attention of Collectors and other Officers of the Customs is called to the annexed Act of Congress, entitled "An Act to provide for the ventilation of Passenger Vessels, and for other purposes," approved 17th May, 1858, with instruc tions for the strict enforcement of its provisions.

passen-

　　　　It is to be observed, the number of passengers that a vessel may be entitled to carry, is not, as under former laws, by her tonnage, but by her capacity according to the dimensions of the apartments occupied by the passengers, allowing for each passenger, as provided by the Act of twenty-second February, 1846, a space of fourteen clear superficial feet of deck, if such vessel is not to pass within the Tropics twenty clear superficial feet of deck for each passenger; and on the orlop deck (if any) thirty clear superficial feet for each passenger: PROVIDED, as required by the 8th section of the Act now under consideration, "that when the height or distance between the decks of the vessels referred to in the 1st section of the Act to regulate the carriage of gers in merchant vessels," approved 22nd February, 1847, "shall be less than six feet. and not less than five feet, there shall be allowed to each passenger sixteen clear superficial feet on the deck, instead of fourteen as prescribed in said section; and if the height or distance between the decks shall be less than five feet, there shall be allowed to each passenger twenty-two clear superficial feet on the deck." passenger's berth is to be included and embraced within the respective spaces before indicated, but as enjoined by law, said spaces must be "unoccupied by stores or other goods not being the personal luggage of such passengers." The number of tiers of berths is limited to two, with an interval between the floor and the deck or platform of at least six inches, and each berth to be at least six feet in length, and at least eighteen inches in width for each passenger." Due regard must be had to the foregoing provisions of law in estimating the number of passengers the vessel is entitled to carry. In computing the number of passengers "all children under the age of one year, at the time of embarkation," are excluded from such computation, consequently all children over one year are in contemplation of law to be deemed and treated

separate passengers.

Each

　　　　The language of the Act regulating the apparatus for ventilation, cooking, &c., and prescribing the allowance of water and provisions to be provided by each vessel according to her legal passenger capacity, is conceived to be so precise and explicit as to call for no elucidation on these points by the Department at this time.

The requirements of the 5th section of the Act regulating the duties of the captain, the cleansing of the vessel, &c., must be rigidly observed and enforced.

In pursuance of the 17th section, the Collector will appoint and direct one of the inspectors of the Customs at his port, to examine and report upon the subjects therein indicated. In the selection of this officer care must be taken to devolve the duty upon one fully competent for its faithful discharge.

It will be seen that the regulations and restrictions imposed by this Act do ret apply to cabin passengers in the case of vessels transporting such passengers betwee the United States and Europe.

No. 19.

Governador de Macao.

O Governador de Macao determina o seguinte:-

Tendo sido determinado por Portaria deste Governo, No. 100 de 15 de Outubro de 1860, que nenhum navio poderá transportar maior numero de emigrados Chinas do que o correspondente á sua lotaçao, na razaö de duas toneladas por cada um.

　　　　　　　Havendo sido posteriormente declarado, por Portaria No. 35 de 5 de Setembro de 1861, que aquella determinaçao se deveria entender somente com relaçaö aos navios levassem emigrados para Ilha de Cuba, ficando de novo em vigor, quanto aos que que 28 condusissem para outros poutos, o que fora determinado na Portaria No. 39 de 5 de Junho de 1856, isto é que o numero dos passageiros, com os das pessoas da tripu- lagao, se regulasse pela lotaçao do navio, na razao de uma e meia tonelada por pessoa:

Nao parecendo conveniente tal distincçao, fundada na differença das viagems; pois que estas sao sempre longas para os paizes a que a emigraçao Chinesa geralmente se destina:

Sendo menos racional a fixaçao do numero de passageiros que um navio pode levar, pela sua lotaçao ou capacidade total; pois que é da capacidade do alojamento para elles, e das suas condições hygienicas, que esse numero deve essencialmente de perder:

Convindo suscitar a exacta observancia do artigo 25 da citada Portaria de 5 de Junho de 1856, no qual se exige que em todo o navio que transportar mais de vinte passageiros haja Falcultativo e Botica; pondo-se cobro ao abuso de substituir o Falcultativo competentemente habilitado, por curandeiros Chinas:

Por todos estes motivos, hei por conveniente determinar o seguinte :- Artigo 1o.-0 maximo numero de emigrados Chinas que um navio poderá levar será regulado pela capacidade do alojamento destinado a esses emigrados, e pelas disposições que ahi houver para a entrada de luz, e a renovaçao do ar. No caso mais fovoravel, into é recebendo o alojamento o ar e a luz por bastantes aberturas practica- das no costado do navio, e tendo este além disso bombas de ventilaçaö, o ditto numero se determinará pela condiçao de que a cada individuo corresponda uma parte do alojamento egual a dous metros cubicos. Não havendo as referidas aberturas no alo- jamento, mas tendo o navio bombas de ventilaçaö contar-se-ha com dous e meio metros cubicos para cada individuo. Faltando tambem a bomba de ventilação o navio naö poderá levar maior numero de emigrados do que o correspondente a capacidate do respectivo alojamento, na razaö de tres metros cubicos per pessoa.

　　　　　　　Aatigo 20.-Fica suscitada a rigorosa observancia do que dispoem o artigo 25 da Portaria de 5 de Junho de 1856, isto é, que nenhum navio possa transportar mais de vinte emigrados, sem que tenha Facultativo e Botica.

　　　　　　Artigo 30.-As disposições da presente Portaria começaraö a ter vigor desde lo de Janeiro do proximo futuro anno de 1865. As authoridades a quem o conhecimento e execuçaō d'esta pertencer assim o tenham entendido e cumpram.-Macao, 13 de Agosto de 1864.

inay

urgently required that such Regulations should have effect unless and until they are disapproved by Her Majesty; be it therefore ordered that the following Local Land Regulations shall have effect and be binding upon all persons residing or being within the limits of the said settlement, as to all matters and things comprised therein, from and after the expiration of One Calender Month after the same shall have been affixed and kept exhibited at the office of H.

which from this date are the laws of the land.

January 20th, 1863. I.-Merchants or other person importing merchandise for sale into Bangkok, shall pass sight entries at the Custom-house within twenty-four hours after the vessel shall have entered in the Consulate or Master-attendant's office, and upon such entries being made, permission shall be granted to land the goods. But in order that the discharge of the importing vessel shall not be delayed, the Siamese Custom-house au- thorities are at liberty to land and store all goods for which permits have not been lodged with the Custom-house officer on board in time for goods delivery, and all charges for so landing and storing shall be paid by the importers or consignees,

III.--Munitions of war are prohibited from being sold by merchants or other persons without reporting to the authorities, and obtaining permission to do so.

　　　　　　　V.--Masters of vessels shall report to the inspector of customs any ship stores, provisions, or other merchandise they may have for sale, and obtain a permit to dis- charge the same previous to doing so.

　　　　　　　VI.-Merchants or other persons having imported merchandise, and found it unsaleable, and desiring to re-export it, shall report the particulars to the inspector of customs, and receive drawback to the full amount of the duty paid by them on the said goods.

　　　　　　　VII.-Masters of vessels, or super-cargoes purchasing produce, generally liable to export duty, to be consumed by the crews of vessels on a voyage, shall report to the inspector of customs the quantity purchased.

　　　　　　VIII.--Merchants or other persons exporting produce either in foreign or native vessels, shall enter with the inspector of customs the quantity, description, and valuə of exports previous to the vessel's obtaining port clearance.

　　　　　　IX.-The inspector of customs shall have authority to search passengers' bag- gage when he deem it necessary, but it shall be passed within half-an-hour after the vessel's arrival in Bangkok.

RULES AND REGULATIONS FOR TRADING WITH SIAM.

XIII. That the Siamese government will be liable for damages in the case of any vessel having been detained by the inspectors of imports and exports upon sus- picion, which on examination appears to have been unfounded.

XIV.-That all cases arising from a breach of these regulations shall be laid be- fore the Consul concerned, who will then with the Superintendent of Customs enquire whether the infraction has been intentional or through ignorance, and only in cases of wilful infringement of the regulations shall they impose the full fine; in cases where there is no proof of the infringement being intentional they shall proportion the

fine to the offence.

　　　　　II.-British subjects intending to reside within the dominions of the Kings of Siam, are required, in conformity with the 5th article of the Treaty, concluded between Her Majesty and the Kings of Siam, to enrol themselves in the register of Britis residents kept for that purpose at the Consulate. Failing to do so within fourteen days after their arrival, without there is valid reason to account for the omission, they are not entitled, conformably to the Order of Her Majesty in Council, dated at Court of Osborne House, Isle of Wight, the 28th day of July, 1856, to protection

under the Consul's authority.

III.--Incompliance with the Order of Her Majesty in Council, dated the 1st of May, 1858, a register of all births and deaths occurring amongst British subjects in Siams kept at the Consulate. The registration fee of each case is two shillings and six-pence. The period in which such registration can take place after the occurrence of the event in foreign countries, has been fixed by Her Majesty's government to be seven years; this being the utmost limit that can be allowed for such registration. IV. In the event of a sudden death, either by accident or otherwise

subjects of Her Majesty residing here, it must forthwith be reported at Her Majesty's Consulate, in order that such measures may be taken as the circumstances require.

V.-British subjects in Siam desiring to trade beyond the limits stipulated by the Treaty, must apply for a passport to the Consulate, a reasonable time before their in- tended departure; as that document must be countersigned by the proper Siamese authority.

Persons travelling without a pass render themselves liable to be treated as deser- ters, and will be detained at the government stations in the interior until the case having been reported to the Cousul, instructions on the subject have been received.

　　　　　　　IX.-Any British subject resident here, who wilfully harbours or secretes any seaman or apprentice who has deserted from a British ship, knowing or having reason to believe such to be the case, shall, conformably to the "Merchant Shipping Act, 1854" (paragragh 257), incur a penalty not exceeding twenty pounds, in default he may be imprisoned in the Consular gaol for any term not exceeding three months, with or without hard labour.

X.-It is strictly forbidden to British subjects to enter the houses of the Siamese people against their will, or to create disturbances at their abodes. Any infringement of this rule subjects the offender, or if more than one, each of the offenders to a penalty not exceeding twenty pounds, or in default thereof to imprisonment in the Consular gaol for the period of not more than one month, with or without hard labour.

LAWS CONCERNING VESSELS BELONGING TO SIAM, AND VESSELS FROM FOREIGN PORTS, LARGE VESSELS AND LIGHTERS, WHICH COME INTO THE CHOW PHYA RIVER, OR INTO ANY OF THE RIVERS OF THE PROVINCES BELONGING TO SIAM.

　　　　　　　　Art. I.-If a vessel come into the Chow Phya river, she shall cast anchor at the Guard station at Paknam. Her master shall then report his name, the name of his vessel, from whence she comes, how many men she has on board, and what merchandise she has, so that the officer at the station may first examine his vessel. If she have guns and ammunition on board, the master shall deliver these to the care of the officer in charge. If the vessel going out be a merchant vessel belonging to a Foreign port, or a vessel belonging to Siam, having a European or American captain, then she shall first be reported to Luang Wisuth Sakaratith, the Harbour-master, and then a pass be obtain- ed for her at the Custom-office But vessels belonging to the country, under Chinese or Mussulman flag, according to the custom of either, shall be reported to the officers of the port in the service of the Kromata of the right hand, or the Kromata of the left hand (according to whose business it is), and request a pass for the vessel according to the custom. When the vessel shall have dropped down to the Guard station at Paknam, the pass shall be presented to the officer of the station. And when the said

officer discovers no cause why she should be detained, she may pass on.

　　　　　　　In case a vessel that is coming in or going out do not stop at the Guard station, and thus violate the treaties, she shall forfeit the sum of eight hundred ticals, as the treaties have stipulated. And if a vessel shall go into any port of the provinces, or come out of any such port, she shall cast anchor at the Guard station [at the mouth of such river] and report herself to the officer of the station, and whatever he shall direct the masters to do in the premises, that must be done, which is according to the treaties.

Light on vessels, and mooring Ships.

Art. II.---When any ship or vessel shall have entered into any river, she shall keep a light burning three fathoms above her upper deck, from early twilight to clear morning light. And when she shall have arrived up the river, within the precincts of the town, her master shall first report himself to the Harbour-master, who will direct him to a berth for his vessel, which direction he must follow. She shall be moored by two anchors, one for the flood, and the other for the ebb tide, and rig her jib-boom in.

　　　　　　Masters of vessels are prohibited from quitting the place of anchorage which has been assigned to them, without having first obtained the sanction of the Harbour-master.

Every infraction will be punished by a fine.

328

LAWS CONCERNING SIAMESE AND FOREIGN VESSELS.

The Line of Mooring.

Art. III.-The Harbour-master shall direct the masters of vessels not to moor their vessels very near the shore. The vessels shall be so moored as that they will not be liable to swing round and strike any floating house. They shall not be moored at the mouth of any canal; but shall be arranged in a line up and down the river. Masters of vessels are hereby forbidden to fasten their cable to the shore, so as to form obstructions to the passage of boats near the shore.

Collision and Sinking of Vessels.

　　　　　　Art. IV.-If vessels come into collision with one another, and are injured, and persons lose their lives by the accident, and property be lost, or damaged to whatever amount, report must be made of it to the Harbour-master, who will then examine the matter, and report to the proper authority, who will adjudicate the case.

But

　　　　　　If a vessel coming in or going out shall spring a leak, and sink in the channel of the river, the master of the same shall employ men to remove that obstruction. should he not do this, the Harbour-master shall cause it to be done, and whatever be the cost of that work it shall be paid by the master of said vessel.

Liabilities of Vessels not properly Moored.

Art. V.-If the master of any vessel do not abide by the 2nd and 3rd articles as above stated, and a large vessel dropping down or coming up the river, shall run against such a vessel and injure her, damages may be claimed from the vessel thus causing the injury.

If a small vessel shall run against a vessel not properly moored, and the small vessel be sunk thereby, and property damaged or lost, to whatever amount, the master of the large vessel shall pay the worth of all property lost or damaged, and pay a fine of one hundred and sixty ticals, because he did not take care to follow the directions given in article 2nd and 3rd.

All cases of this class that exist at the present time, or that may arise in the future, and the person required thereby to pay damages, shall have any doubts as to the true worth of the property damaged or lost, the owner of said property shall, under oath administered according to the custom of his own religion, afford satisfac- tory evidence that the property lost was of the value claimed.

In all cases where a fine is imposed on masters for vessels for carelessness of the kind above stated, the money thus obtained shall become the property of the government. Cable and Ropes connecting with the Shore.

　　　　　Art. VI.-If a master of a vessel would remove from his berth and moor close in shore for the purpose of receiving merchandise, or for any other advantage, and shall in the day time fasten ropes to the land to bring her in to shore, it shall not be unlawful. But the ropes must not be thus engaged in the night time.

If a vessel shall remove from her berth to receive merchandise, and be fastened passing of boats outside shall be obstructed-or shall put into shore to cast out bailast, close to a wharf, one or two abreast of each other, but not so that the way for the or do any thing else, and the vessel be in close contact with the shore or wharf, and there be left no passage for boats between her and the shore, ropes may in such cases be extended from her to the shore, for the purpose of retaining her in her place.

　　　　The Royal Barges, seats of either the first or second king, are allowed to be moored in front of the royal palaces; and although their cables and ropes be made on the bank of the river, it not being suitable that any persons besides those engaged fast to the shore, it shall not be unlawful, because they are near the seats of the kings in royal service should come near to them.

If any one attempt to pass between the said Barges and the Royal seats on the river's bank, and run against their cables, or ropes, and the boat be capsized, all damages thus resulting shall be suffered by the owner of the boat, because the act had been forbidden. There are only two such places, viz.:-one in front of the fast

in the canals, laden with goods, coming out to moor in the river with the view to sell King's Palace, and one in front of the second King's Palace. Again-masters of boats

their merchandise, if they wish to anchor near the shore, they may do so, provided they leave an open passage between their boats and the shore, sufficient for small boats to pass.

According to article IV., if a small boat get entangled in the ropes or chains of the vessels by which they are held in their proper places according to those laws, or run against a vessel thus orderly moored, and be capsized, and property be lost by the accident in whatever way, the owner of the boat capsized shall not claim any damages. Respect to be paid to the Kings when passing.

　　　　　　　　Art. VII. If either of their Majesties the Kings of Siam, desire to pass on the river, and a vessel riding at anchor shall in any wise interrupt the way, and the Harbour- master or other officer in charge shall order said vessel to move out of the way, then the master of the vessel shall be bound to obey that order within the space of three hours.

　　　　　　　Aud concerning all vessels of commerce lying at anchor in the river, whenever the Royal Barges bearing either of their Majesties the Kings of Siam, shall approach near them, it is requested that their colors be drawn up to bestow a Royal salute according to custom. And the people who may be on board these vessels at the time, can act their pleasure either to retire out of sight of the King as he passes, or come out and salute him, according to the custom of the country and the language to which they belong. But let them not walk back and forth, or get up and sit down on the bulwarks with their feet dangling down the sides of the vessel, or go up the mast, or perform work thereon at the time, because this would be regarded by the Siamese as an insult offered to the King.

If such offence be committed, or the vessel fail to the removed out of the King's way, and she be one belonging to the Kingdom of Siam, the Siamese officer in charge shall inflict the punishment due. But if the vessel be a merchant vessel belonging to a foreign port, coming under the jurisdiction of either of the Cousuls, complaint of the same shall be made to the Consul.

Collision of Vessels.

Art. VIII.-In case a large vessel, coming up or going down the river, runs into another vessel, or into a floating house, or any building that is orderly moored, and damage property, the master of said vessel shall cause to be made a due estimate of the damage done, and pay it, be the same little or much. But if the vessel which did the damage, be herself injured to whatever amount, she shall not claim any damages. of the vessel, or floating house, or other float by which she was thus damaged, because she herself alone ran into the other.

　　　　　　Again, steam-boats in Siam, which are to be many in the future, when they come or go with or against the tide, shall not pass near the shore, but between the lines of large vessels at anchor. The reason of this law is, that steam boats have great power and speed, so that small craft will be likely not to have time to get out of their

way.

Concerning Floating Dwellings, or Rafts of Timber or Bamboo, Drifting in the River.

Art. IX.-If a raft be broken into parts, floating with the current, and if any vessel being moored so as to straiten the way which the II. and III.articles of these laws provide to have remain open and free, and the raft float against the vessel, and her master cut the raft, and it be consequently broken to pieces, and timber be lost, damages shall in such cases be paid to the owner of the raft. But if a raft float against such a vessel, and the vessel be damaged thereby, to whatever extent, her master or owner shall not claim damages of the owners of the raft.

Again, whoever would float a raft on the river, shall be provided with a cable, and shall by its aid, make fast and slacken here and there, and thus float carefully along, taking particular caution to pass in the passage between the line of vessels at anchor, and the floating houses regularly moored. If its owner choose to have it pass on this or that side of them, he shall keep to that choice through all the way.

　　　　　　　　　If a raft float down, and come into collision with a vessel that is moored accord- ing to articles II. and III., the master of the vessel may cut the raft, and send it adrift. But he shall do no other damage to the owner of the raft, nor take possession of his timber. If any of the timber be lost by this means, the owner may not claim any damages from the master of the vessel.

330

LAWS CONCERNING SIAMESE AND FOREIGN VESSELS.

If the master or owner of the vessel has not cut the raft asunder, but it break apart of itself, and the float against a vessel thus lawfully moored, and injure her in any wise, the owner of the raft shall pay the damages.

Again-whoever would float a raft, shall not be allowed to make any rope fast to the cable of a vessel moored in the river. And no large vessel or raft shall be allowed to float up or down with the tide in the night time. Again, if any one would float his raft with the tide, he shall not pass very near the shore, so as to be likely to run against a floating house properly moored, and thus injure it. Damages thus oc- casioned shall be paid by the owner of the raft.

Wherever there are no vessels anchored in the river, rafts are allowed to float down in the middle of the stream, and if it be desired to make the raft to the shore, this also may be done. If any raft or boat run against the ropes thus employed, and the boat be capsized, and property damaged, no damages shall be claimed from the owner of the raft thus moored; because rafts are not, as vessels, easily managed. Common sense will teach that it is not suitable to think of passing between a raft and the shore by which it is moored.

Throwing Ballast into the River.

Art. X.-It is forbidden to throw stones, gravel, earth, or any ballast in or near the channel over the bar, where the water is under seven fathoms deep [at low water mark] extending from outside of the bar to any other place within the river Chow Phya. If it be desired to cast out ballast, the Harbour-master, or the officer in charge, shall first point out some place where it will be lawful to throw it: and in that place it may be cast.

If the master of the vessel do not observe this law, but violate it by casting ballast at the bar or into the river, he shall be fined the sum of two hundred ticals. Again-when any one would be employed as a pilot, let him first be examined by the Harbour-master. And if he bear a good examination, he will give him a certificate to this effect. It is forbidden that any one undertake to pilot vessels without such a certificate. [If any one not thus approved, shall conduct a vessel erroneously and get aground, he shall pay the damages resulting therefrom.] And if

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　any qualified pilot shall pilot a vessel or erroneously, and cause damage to the vessel by misconduct or mis- management, he shall be tried, and if found guilty, fined [according to the demerit of the case.]

LAWS CONCERNING SMALL BOATS.

　　　　Art. I.-Boats going with the tide shall pass in the midst of the river. Boats going against the tide shall go near the border of the river. In case a boat going with the e the border of the river; or in case a boat going against the tide pass in the midst of the river, thus taking a course contrary to this law, and then come into collision with another, and be capsized, or broken, or property damaged or lost, the boat which went contrary to the law shall pay the full amount of the consequent damages. If the boat damaged be the one which violated the law, she shall claini no damages from the other boat which was going according to law. If the business be such as to make it with the tide near the shore, let great care be taken by the boat thus proper to go passing, that she do not run against a boat that is going against the tide.

Boats passing one another.

Art. II.-In case when boats going up or down with the tide following each other, and the one behind, being the fleeter, overtake and run against the boat going before, and damage or upset her, or run against a boat that is properly moored, and damage or upset her, the owner of the boat which does such mischief shall

pay all damages.

Collision of Boats.

Art. III.-In cases the owner of a boat, wishing to moveaway from her moorings, wishing to come out of the mouth of a canal, or wishing to come in and moor, or in going meets another boat and endeavours to avoid collision, but is not in time, and consequently strikes against said boat, but not intentionally, and said boat be upset of

damaged, the owner of the boat that was not upset shall assist the boat that was capsized, to pick the goods that were set adrift. If he do not assist, he shall pay damages amounting to half the worth of the damaged property that was in the boat, because he had no compassion.

Light and heavily laden Boats.

　　　　　　　　Art. IV.-A light boat (lightly loaded] shall turn out for a heavily laden boat. If a boat lightly laden run against a boat heavily laden, and cause her to be capsized, the owner of said boat shall pay all damages. If death be a consequence of the col- lision, he shall pay the price of the person, [a price attached by the law to the person killed, according to the old law.

　　　　　　　　　If a boat heavily laden, run against one lightly laden, causing her to capsize, no damages shall be paid. If a lightly laden boat come into collision with another lightly laden, the owner of the boat not capsized shall remain, and assist to right up the other, and collect her goods that are adrift. If he do not remain and assist the other, he shall pay half the amount of all the consequent damages.

　　　　　　　　If a boat heavily laden be likely to come into collision with another boat lightly laden, and there be due time for evading each other, and no regard be paid to it, but the man of the large boat wilfully run against the small boat, and upset her, the man who did this deed shall pay to the other party the full amount of the property damaged or lost, be the same little or much,

　　　　　　　　　if a heavily laden boat be likely to come into collision with another boat heavily laden, and one of the parties, when ten fathoms or more distant, request the other party to halt, and he do not regard it, but consequently run,against the other boat, and she be capsized, and property be lost or damaged, to whatever amount, the trans- gressor shall pay all damages. But if there was not time to give warning at ten fathoms distance, and a collision take place, it is proper that such a case be accounted an unavoidable accident, and no damages claimed.

Heavy and lightly laden Boats mooring together.

Art. V.-If a boat heavily laden, and a boat lightly laden moor close together, and the master of the light boat wishes to move to another place, he shall first duly notify the master of the heavy boat, so that he also take care that the light boat do not run against the heavily laden boat. If he do not give due notice, and his boat run against the one heavily laden, and capsize her, he shall pay all the damages resulting from the affair. But if he did not move his boat away, and the two boats jam against each other in consequence of wind and waves, and the light boat, being the larger of the two, cause the heavily laden boat to upset, the owner of the light boat hall pay half the worth of all the property damaged belonging to the heavily laden boat, because the light boat was larger than the other, and came and moored close by her side. If the heavily laden boat be the larger, and they jam one against the other, and one of them be consequently upset because of wind and waves without any design on the part of the other party, it shall be accounted a case not suitable for litigation.

Boats turning out one for the other.

　　　　　　　　In case a boat in crossing the river goes athwart of the course of another which is going down with the tide:-if the boat crossing the river be the smaller of the two, and the one going with the tide be the larger, the boat crossing the river shall turn out for the one going with the tide. But if the one going with the tide be the smaller, and the boat crossing the river be the larger, the boat going with the tide shall turn out for the other. If the smaller boat do not turn out for the larger one, and conse- quently get damaged or capsized, no claim for damages shall be laid upon the boat. But if the smaller boat be the one heavier laden of the two, the larger boat shall turn out for the smaller boat. If the larger boat do not turn out for the smaller one, and the sinaller be capsized in the collision, the master of the large boat shall pay all damages.

　　　　　　　　If a large boat be moored close in shore, clear of the way by which boats pass, and a small boat heavily laden shall run against the large boat and capsize, no claim for damages shall be made upon said large boat.

332

LAWS CONCERNING SIAMESE AND FOREIGN VESSELS.

Boats passing one another in Narrow Canal.

　　　　　　Art. VI.-In case of boats passing in a narrow canal, so that it be impossible to observe the rules of the first article with or against the tide, because of the narrow. ness of the canal, the small boat shall turn out for the larger boat, and the lightly laden boat shall turn out for the one heavily laden.

Mooring Boats in Canal.

　　　　　　If boats lightly or heavily laden would moor in a canal, they shall moor in a line on either side of the canal, so that the way for boats shall not be obstructed. Ther shall not be moored one abreast of another, nor athwart of the canal, nor in the midst of it. If any person persist in mooring his boat athwart the canal, or mid-way in the canal, or abreast of another, and a boat coming with the flood or ebb tide, shall run against said boat, and capsize her, and property be damaged to whatever amount, no claims for damages shall be made upon the master of the boat that run against her.

If it be i. the night time, and a boat strike against one thus unlawfully moored. and the boat that runs against the other be upset, and property be damaged or lost, the unlawfully moored boat,shall pay the full amount of all damages.

Again--in the inner canal which surrounds the city proper, and the outer canal called Phadoong kroong krasem, and the canal called Sanon Trong, the Bang Looang, and Bangkok Noi canals, being canals in which many boats pass day and of fishing with scoop nets, night, no craft shall he allowed to moor for the purpose thus obstructing the thoroughfare through them. Whoever would fish with such

nets can do so in other canals where the travel is less.

Guard limits out of respect to the Kings.

　　　　　Art. VII.- An old law of Siam ordains that-In case either of the Kings shall pass on the river, it is forbidden all persons to paddle or row their boats in front of, or near the procession, or near the side of it, or in any way to get into the procession.

　　　　　And when either of the Kings shall come down to float Pra-pra-t'ep (illuminated floats) on the river in the evening, according to Royal custom, on the 11th and 12th Siamese months annually, three days in each month, or when the Kings shall on other days come down to their seats near the river, or to other places on the river, and there be guard limits defined, and guards established, it is forbidden persons, who have no proper business within those limits, to enter therein.

If he be a foreigner, under whatever Consul, let him first be treated to desist from such conduct. But if he persist, he shall be seized and delivered over to the Consul to whom he belongs. If he resist, and a fight ensue, and he be wounded, or killed, no damages shall be laid upon the guard by whom he was wounded, because he was duly warned not to go within those limits.

If the foreigner thus transgressing wound the guard, or kill him, the Consul to whom he belongs shall adjudicate the case according to law.

And when the Kings are to appear publicly in any place, or when on other days their Majesties are to come down to their seats near the river, or to any other place, au officer whose business it is, shall give a written notice to the Consuls a day or two beforehand, excepting the six days annually, when the Kings have their fire-works o These are well known to the Consuls already without such notification. Again, if the Kings shall go to their country palaces in the Royal gardens, Annan- t'ha-oot'ha-yan and Sapra-t'hooma-wan, where guard limits are formed about tha palaces, it is not necessary to notify the Consul of the time of such visitation, because thorough. those places are appropriated particularly to the Kings, and there are no

Mooring posts for Floating Houses.

Art. I.-It is forbidden that any owner of a floating house plant his mooring posts so far beyond the front line of his float as to interfere with the passing of boats.

LAWS CONCERNING SIAMESE AND FOREIGN VESSELS.

333

Whenever posts are planted in front of a floating house for its protection, let them not stand outside of the front line of the house more than three Siamese cubits. Whoever, disregarding this law, shall plant his floating posts outside of this limitation, and a boat strike against the posts, and be upset, or property lost to whatever amount, it is or- dained that the owner of that floating house shall pay all such damages to the full extent. Fishing Boats and Buoys athwart of the River.

Art. II.-Concerning boats that cast anchor several in a line athwart the river, attached to one another for the purpose of net fishing, or fishing buoys arranged in a line extending to the middle of the river; their owners shall in the night time have a blazing fire on the shore opposite such fishing boats or buoys, and blow horns for a signal to show that is a fishing establishment. And if a vessel sailing up or dropping down shall run afoul of fishing boats or buoys, and set them adrift, or damage them in any way, their owners shall not claim any damages, because they from great obstructions to pas- sing on the river. much more so than large vessels, which as above are required to be moored in the midst of the river in a line up and down the stream, and much more so than floating houses that are required to be arranged in a regular line near the shore. And it cannot be required that these fishing boats and buoys should be moored in any other way than athwart of the stream, because it has always been the custom to allow their owners thus to seek a livelihood. And although a raft or boat shall run against them, and be broken or upset, or lives lost, no damage shall be claimed of the owner of those fishing boats or buoys. Let the master of the vessel or raft that drops down, inform himself of the localities of such fishing places, and provide care- fully when yet not near, for passing them safely. Such fishing boats and buoys are fixed establishments, not often changed like the position of sailing vessels.

But it is forbidden that the fishing buoys be connected together by means of bamboo poles; it is only allowed that they be connected by means of ropes, as is the usual custom. Again-The space from the shore to the fishing buoys, being the way for boats to pass, shall not be obstructed by ropes or poles, or any other thing stretched across If the owner of fishing buoys shall stretch ropes or poles across that way, so as to obstruct it for boats, aud a boat coming up or going down shall run against such ob- structions, and she be upset and property lost, or damaged to whatever amount, the who stretched the rope or pole across that way shall pay the damages. And person

life be lost by the accident, he shall forfeit the price of that person according to the

if any old law.

Property Adrift on the River.

　　　　　　　　Act. III. The old law forbade any person to take things that are accidentally dropped, or property that is adrift by casualty on the river. In process of time the people forgot this law, and thought it lawful to take such property, and appropriate it to them- selves, and have fallen into the practice of seizing such property; and the true owners coming to claim it, has given rise to contention and litigation. Sometimes the property seized has been concealed, and doubts consequently would arise about the property missed, whether or not thieves had stolen it. And thus there were many cases of litigation continually arising from this practice.

What to be done with Property Adrift on the River.

　　　　　　　　Property lost in the river is mainly teak logs and boards belonging to rafts floating down the river, which are broken and scattered about in the stream, the owners of which. going in pursuit of it are often not in time to secure the property adrift. And boats that get adrift are numerous. Now, because of these frequent accidents, it is forbidden that any person belonging to this country, or to a foreign country, shall seize teak logs or boards, or any property of vessels, or boats adrift on the river, and appropriate the same to themselves, severing them thus from the owners, on the plea that such property was found without any owner; thus following the fashion of those who have no knowledge of law. If any one shall find property floating on the river without any owner, or property which has been secured from thieves, he shall deliver such property to the magistrate of that district, or shall report to him, or to the officer of the village, or to any man of rank living near to his own house. If the property belong to ships in the river, report shall

SIAM-LAWS TOUCHING AFFAIRS BY LAND.

pro-

be made of the same to the Harbour-master within twelve hours from the time the perty was found. Then the magistrate, or the man of rank shall make accurate record of said property, and then wait for further information. As to the owner, let him hasten to find his lost property, inquiring for it of all the village officers for a month, let this not be prolonged beyond a month. And whoever shall have taken the property, or whatever magistrate, or village officer, or man of rank, shall have received the property, or whoever has been informed of the property lost, shall inform the owner of the pro- perty which he seeks: and then examine carefully the settlements of the owner, and the record of the property made when received. Having thus ascertained that the property truly belongs to him who seeks it, let it be delivered up to him. But if there be any doubt, let the matter be postponed until other claimants shall be examined.

If any one, having taken property adrift as defined above, conceal it, and do not report it to a magistrate or village officers, or some other man of rank, within the of twelve hours, he shall, when arrested, be treated as a thief.

If a

space f any one assist in

taking property adrift with the view to deliver it to the owner, and inform a magis- trate, or village officer, or man of honor: and when the owner comes, and finds his property, and would take possession of it, and he who assists in saving it requests that he may have a reward for his services, this matter shall be arranged between the owner, the assistant and the nobleinan.

LAWS TOUCHING AFFAIRS BY LAND.

Assault and Battery.

Art. I.-Thero is an old royal law of Siam touching crimes of assault and battery, comprising many articles, of which a compend is hereby re-enacted as follows

　　　　If any person getting into a quarrel, use abusive language, lead on their comrades with clubs, brickbats, or arins, beating, reviling, cutting, and stabbing one another going even into the homestead of a man who was dwelling quietly at home, his house, his shed, his stall, his boat, or his floating house, and cause him to be wound ed, the assailant who inflicted the wound, shall be fined double for his crime; and his associates whose hands were not in the blow, shall each be fined half the amount

If said householder shall beat and stab the assailant even unto death, no punish-

ment shall be inflicted upon him.

and the vanquished party flee within the limits of a third party's home, and his an street, tagonist pursue him thither, it shall not be accounted a case of assault on the the assault be continued there, it shall be accounted a case of assault.

and

　　　　Again,-if any person shall with innocent intent, go to visit another, on whatever business, or shall go to purchase something at the place of another, and then and theer fall into a quarrel, it shall not be regarded as a case of assault, because the affray had

its origin then.

Seizing Refugee Servants or Debtors.

Again,-in case a master or creditor shall go to seize a servant or a debtor, and find him wherever he may, and while pursuing him, the servant or debtor flee into the home of another party, or into his own home, and the master or creditor thither, and seize him, this shall not be accounted as assault. which the servant or debtor has fled] be a palace of a Prince, or the home of an officer And if the place [to pursues him

of government, or the residence of a foreigner, the pursuer shall first duly inform the householder of his business, and then the latter shall deliver up the refugee to his pursuer.

And now this revised compend of law [touching assault and battery] is to the intent that all persons, both natives and foreigners, shall understand, that if any one shall assault and invade the home, the house, the shed, the stall, the boat, or the floating bouse of another, and the householder or lord of the place, shall pound, beat, or wound the

assailants severely, even unto death, and complaint be made of it to a magistrate, and he after due examination, shall find that the case is truly one of assault and battery, no punishment shall be inflicted upon him who wounded or killed the assailing party.

Concerning the Shooting of large Guns.

　　　　　　　　Art. II.-It has been a custom in Siam, and an old law there is supporting it, that person shall discharge a large gun, whose report can be heard beyond one hundred sen, two and a half miles], as on occasions of festivals, or at other time, according to the party's own pleasure, without giving the reasons why the guns are fired. And when any one shall discharge large guns within the limits of Bangkok, and does not inform the proper officer of the government of his purpose, and obtain permission; or if any one in any of the provinces of Siam, [would discharge such guns], and do not inform the Governor of the provinces and obtain his permission, and hence transgress this law, he shall be liable to punishment. The reason of this is that the report of large guns, whenever heard without the cause being made public, will produce alarm among the people, leading them to think that a conflagration has taken place or some other notable event. Because it has been appointed in the city of Bangkok that the report of a large gun shall be the signal of the morning forty-eight minutes before daylight, when four guns are fired daily, for the purpose of waking up all who must arise early, and for the pur- of giving a uniform time for the public. And a large gun is also fired at the pose Palace of the second King at 8 o'clock every evening, and one forty-eight minutes before daylight, at the quarters of the soldiers belonging to the Palace of the second King, for their guide. If a large gun is fired at other times, it is for the purpose of giving an alarm of fire.

If the fire be far from the Royal Palace, four guns are fired. If it be near, eight guns are fired. And when the people hear the report of these guns, they are given to know that fire is far or near, according to the signal, that they may come together and assist in extinguishing it.

Firing on Holidays.

　　　　　　　Again, whenever there is to be an offering of firing large guns, on days held as auspicious by the Kings, or on occasions of the exchange of salutations by firing, or the firing of guns on some festival days, and whenever there is to be a trial of the strength of large guns at sundry times, on all these occasions, there is a custom to publish beforehand, giving all the people and their magistrates to understand, that on such and such a day, there will be firing for such and such purpose. And this is done to prevent the people from becoming alarmed.

When the war vessels which brought Sir John Bowring came hither, to negociate a new treaty, and a salute was to be fired according to English custom, public notice was given beforehand of the salute, and then the salutation took place. After this, people coming from without, not knowing [the customs of the country], and seeing that large guns are allowed to be fired from men-of-war, and that such guns are allowed to be fired in honor of festival days of their own country, they have fallen into the practice of firing large guns without previously informing the government of such intention. Or it may be one party has informed the government, and has obtained permission to fire; another party hearing the report of their guus, joins in the chorus. Consequently the citizens of Bangkok, seeing that foreigners frequently fire their guns in sport, are emboldened to think that such things are probably not forbidden, and hence they fire their large guns without any previous appointment; consequently the former custom of notifying the government has been neglected.

When and how Guns are allowed to be fired.

Because of this, it is requested that the old law be renewed, forbidding the free firing of cannon, from the guard station at Paknam inward. But if any one belonging to the country, or any foreigner, has any cause why he should fire cannon-as on occasion of cutting hair, or on occasions of saluting after the custom of foreigners, or on occasions of religious festivals as do the Roman Catholics, or at other times, once annually,-it is not forbidden. But the head of the temple, or of the house, or of the ceremony, shall first give a written notice of such a desire, to Krom-mahathai, or to Krom-P'ra-Kralahome, or to Krom-t'a, or to Krom-muang, three days beforehand. Whereupon the Lord

336

SIAM-LAWS TOUCHING AFFAIRS BY LAND.

Mayor of Bangkok will publish this, so that the people may understand, that on such and such a day, such and such a party will fire cannon for the purpose specified. Thus doing, the Royal servants, and all the people will not have the occasion to be in doubt

of the matter.

Again,-if any one would fire small arms in the vicinity of the palaces of Princes, or at the dwelling of the officers of government, great or small, for the purpose of training children, grand-children, and other relatives or servants to shoot at a target, it is allowed. But a written notice must in every instance first be given to one of the officers above-named, of the purpose of such an act. This notice may be given on the same day that the exercise is to take place. An officer of the military departiment will then be sent to examine the target, to see that it is out of the way of the people passing; so that when the exercise takes place no person shall be shot.

Shooting Game with small Arms.

　　　　　Again,-if any one would shoot birds, or other animals, he may do it in the woods, and in the fields, where there is no temple or village, or home (for man), and where there is no thoroughfares for the people. As regards shooting on temple grounds, or in villages, or the homes of men, or by the thoroughfares; sometimes the persons engaged are trusty persons; sometimes they are drunken, and will sometimes, unawares shoot and wound of kill persons. And when the person who did the deed is taken and brought before the court for trial according to law, he pleads that he had no intention of doing it; and consequently long disputes arise, so that it is very difficult to settle such questions. Such fire arms are instruments of death, and will kill at a long distance, and beyond the reach of the eye of him who uses them, as when bushes or the siding of a house intercepts the vision where the ball can enter and kill.

When and where it is not allowed to shoot Game.

For this cause a law has been made forbidding to shoot small fire arms by the temples, or villages, or homes of the people. Even in the field and woods it is forbidden to shoot at elephants, horses, cattles, buffaloes, and other animals, which their owners are feeding. If a man disregard this law, and wilfully shoot at random, he shall be fined a sum not less than one hundred and sixty, and not more than four hundred

Ticals, according as he shoot little or much.

And moreover, if he kill an elephant, a horse, or ox, or buffalo, or other animals which their owners are nourishing, damages shall be estimated according to the worth

of the animals killed.

Shooting men by Accident.

　　　　If a Siamese subject shoot a person, wounding or killing him, he shall be adjudged according to the old law of the land. If a foreigner shoot a person, and wound or ill him, the Consul to whom the man belong shall adjudge the case according to the law

of his own country.

Sailors not allowed to go ashore with Arms.

serang

Art. III.-Masters of vessels and merchants who come to live in Siam, shall for- foreigners, white or colored, to take with them instruments of death, as short or long guns, or knives, when they go about on the rivers, or canals, or on land. If these servants have business leading them to make purchases, they shall not take weapons of death with them, but they shall go with hands free from all these. And when they go, let a seran or comprador of the employer go with them to watch over them. In case a master of a vessel, or merchant do not enjoin this upon his sailors, or his other servants, Siamese, Chinese, or other foreigners, white or colored, and leave them to go about the rivers and canals, with instruments of death about their persons, in the day time or night time, and they fall into contentions, and an officer of Government or a householder shall assist in seizing said offenders for the purpose of delivering them over to their Consuls for adjudication, and they do not allow themselves to be seized without re- sistance, and a fight ensue between them, and wounds be made upon their persons of whatever kind, no punishment shall be inflicted upon those who seized them. If they shall wound or kill (any of the party who seized them) the Consul to whose jurisdic- tion they belong shall adjudge the case according to the law (of his own

country.)

Sailors robbing Orchards and Gardens.

337

　　　　　　　　Again, cases where sailors, in mooring their vessels, coming up the river or dropping down with the tide, stop in their way, and go ashore, and pick fruit from orchards to eat and the owners thereof forbid them doing so, and they do not regard the prohibition, but draw their knives, and pursue, striking and stabbing the owners, as frequently occurs, should it be ordained that the owners shall seize the sailors, and deliver them to their Consul for punishment, it so happens that the persons who watch the orchards, are but few in number, being only one or two they would not be able to seize the transgressors. Hence it is ordained that the captains of vessels and merchants shall peremptorily forbid their men, whether sailors or servants, going ashore and picking the fruit in the gardens or orchards of the people, owners, or occupants. In case any person go and take fruit unlawfully from orchards, and the owners, guards, or occupants thereof shoot at them with "Bow balls," and they consequently be lacerated, broken, sick, or in pain of whatever kind or degree, no punishment shall be inflicted upon such owners, guards, or occupants. But if the other party cause the owners, or occupants to be wounded, or to die, the Consul to whom the sailors belong shall adjudicate the case, according to the laws of his country.

Art. IV. It is forbidden persons to go about within the walls of the King's palace, or to go up into, or down from the Royal house at the landing of either the Senior or Junior King's palaces, or at the country palaces of the Kings, viz.:-Nat'a-udayan, and Wangsuan-Sapra-t'uma-wan, where there is an officer in charge, and a keeper of the gates. It shall not be lawful to enter, until the said officer or gate-keeper shall give his permission, and conduct him within. With such permission one may go in. In case the prohibition be disregarded, or the transgressor go up and down on those Royal landings on the river, or at those garden palaces above-named, and the officer or gate- keeper

should seize him, and resistance be made, and the consequence be the death of the offender, no complaint shall be made against the said officer or gate-keeper. If the officer or watchman be killed, the Consul of the man who did the deed, shall adjudicate the case according to the laws of his own country.

　　　　　　　These laws have been published both in the Siamese and the English languages, this being the third edition. When causes of complaint shall arise in the future, not provided for by these laws, then will additions be made, as may be found necessary.

And now unto all priests and nanes, and to all the servants of the Government, both military and civil, and to all the officers of Government in the provinces of the first, second, third, and fourth grades, both in the south and north divisions of the Kingdom, and to all people and merchants of the country, and to all foreigners of all languages who come hither to trade in both small and large vessels, going on the canals or on the rivers, to each and all, let these laws be known universally. Let all observe them in every particular.

CHINA.

Constitution and Government.

　　　　　　The form of government of the Chinese empire is strictly patriarchal. The sore- reign, called "Ta-hwang-ti," or the Great Emperor, is regarded as the father of his people, and has unlimited power over all his subjects. The fundamental laws of the empire are laid down in the first of the "Four Books" of Confucius, which prescribe the government of the state to be based upon the government of the family.

　　　　　Reigning Emperor.-Ki-tsiang," High Prosperity," commonly called Tung-chi, formerly Prince Tsai-sung, born April 5, 1855, the eldest son of the Emperor Hienfung, "Perfect Bliss ; " succeeded to the throne at the death of his father, August

22, 1861.

　　　　　The present sovereign is the eighth Emperor of China of the Tartar dynasty of Ta-tsing, "The Sublimely Pure," which succeeded to the native dynasty of Ming in

the year 1644.

The Emperor is spiritual as well as temporal sovereign, and, as high priest of the religious ceremonies. No ecclesiastical hierarchy is maintained at the public expense, the great

nor any priesthood attached to the Confucian or State religion.

The administration of the Empire is under the supreme direction

　　　Council Chamber, comprising four members, two of Tartar and two of Chinese origin, besides two assistants from the Han-lin, or great College, who have to see that no- thing is done contrary to the fundamental laws of the Empire, contained in the sacred books of Confucius. These members are denominated Ta-hyo-si, or Ministers of State. Under their order are the Le-poo, or six boards of Government. They are: 1. The board of civil appointments, which takes cognisance of the conduct and administration of all civil officers; 2.-The board of revenues, regulating all financial affairs; 3.The board of rites and ceremonies, which enforce the laws and customs to be observed by 5.-The board of public works; and, 6.-The high tribunal of criminal jurisdiction.

Revenue and Population.

The estimates of the public revenue of China vary greatly, and while they are stated by some to exceed 100 millions sterling, are held by others not to come up to half that Official returns of the Chinese government-intended for a special public use, and as such not very reliable-which were published in 1844, give the revenue as follows:-

accounts published in the Peking Gazette, it would appear that there are almost constant deficits, which the governors and high officers of provinces must make good by loans or extraordinary taxation.

The public revenue is mainly derived from three sources, namely, customs duties, licences, and a tax upon land. The customs duties fall more upon exports than im- ports; their total produce at the thirteen treaty ports open to Europeans amounted to Tls. 8,691,817, or £2,897,272 in 1863, and to Tls. 9,425,656, or £3,141,885 in 1868. To the amount collected in 1868 the foreign trade contributed Tls. 8,002,751, or £2,667,584, while the portion paid by Great Britain and British colonies in the same Besides this sum, the year was Tls. 6,706,365, or £2,235,455, or above 83 per cent. British trade paid transit duties to the amount of £1,117,727 in 1868, so that the total contribution of the same to the Imperial Exchequer was £3,353,782.

The population of China is very dense, but nothing accurate is known respecting the number of inhabitants, although official enumerations of the same are stated to have taken place at intervals since the year 703, or for more than eleven centuries. One of the causes of uncertainty regarding the population of the empire is that its limits are underfined, the imperial government claiming the allegiance of the inhabi- tants of many of the neighbouring territories, which appear to be more or less independent. According to the most reliable estimates, together with Chinese official returns, the area of the empire and its dependencies, real and asserted, may be set down, in round numbers, at about 200,000 geographical square miles, with a popula- tion of nearly 390 millions, distributed as follows:-

　　　　　　　The standing military force of China consists of two great divisions, the first formed by the more immediate subjects of the ruling dynasty, the Tartars, and the second by the Chinese and other subject races. The latter, the main force upon which the imperial government can rely, form the so-called troops of the Eight Banners, and garrison all the great cities, but so as to be separated by walls and forts from the population. The Chinese forces are said to be composed of 600,000 men, scattered over the surface of the empire. The soldiers do not live in barracks, but in their own houses, pursuing as chief business some civil occupation, frequently that of day-labourers, and meeting only on certain occasions, pursuant to orders from the military chieftains.

It will be seen that the commercial intercourse of China is mainly with the United Kingdom and the British colonies. To the aggregate imports and exports of China in the year 1868, Great Britain contributed Tls. 66,519,679, or 47 per cent. ; the colony of Hongkong Tls 24,642,974, and India Tls. 26,362,615, being a total of Tls. 117,525,268, or 83.8 per cent, of the whole commerce of China, and leaving only 16.2 per cent. for all the other foreign nations. Among the latter the United States take the first rank, with a trade, in 1868, of Tls. 7,416,069, or 5-3 per cent. of the commerce of China.

The first attempt on the part of Great Britain to open a trade with China was made in 1637, when four merchant vessels arrived at Macao; but through the intrigues of the Portuguese there established, the enterprise failed. Afterwards the East India Canton. In 1792, Lord Macartney's embassy attempted to put the trade on a mort liberal basis, but with little success.

In 1816, Lord Amherst's mission for a similar

purpose also failed, though the English trade continued for the next twenty years. In 1834 the exclusive trade of the East India Company with China terminated, and the country was thrown open to general traders. The opening thus made was followed by a commercial treaty, signed on August 29, 1842, by the plenipotentiary of the Queen of Great Britain and the Emperor of China, by the terms of which five ports of the empire were opened to European trade. The five ports comprised those of Canton, Amoy, Foo-chow-foo, Ningpo, and Shanghai.. To those five ports were sub- sequently added nine others-namely, Swatow, Tientsin, Chefoo, Hankow, Kiukiang,

Chinkiang, Newchwang, Takow, and Tamsui.

The relative importance of these fourteen gates of Chinese commerce is shown in

JAPAN.

Constitution and Government.

The system of government of the Japanese empire is as yet but imperfectly known. The supreme bead of the State is an hereditary Emperor called Mikado, or "the Venerable," whose name is said to be known only to the princes of the Imperial family, and who appears to be considered of semi-divine origin. At his side stands a second Emperor, the Ziogoon, "Great Lord," or, as commonly styled, the Tycoon, whose office also is hereditary in his family, and who represents the central executive. But neither the Mikado nor the Tycoon seem to be possessed of absolute authority, extending over the whole State. The government of the country is partly vested in a number of feudal princes, or Daimios, proprietor in their own right of a more or less extensive territory.

There exists no regular law of succession to the throne, but in case of death of the Mikado, or of his abdication-the latter extremely frequent in modern times- the crown devolves generally, not on his son, but on either the eldest or the most distinguished member of his house. It is not uncommon that palace intrigues settle the choice, the only condition of legality of which is that the elect should be member of the Shi sinwo, the "Four Imperial Relatives," or Royal Families of Japan. The throne can be, and has frequently been, occupied by a female, who, however, is not allowed to remain single, but must seek a consort within the limit of the Shi sinwo.

　　　　　　　The administration of the empire is carried on by two Councils of State, the first, called the Gorogio, composed of five members, and the second, the Onwakado-uchisri, of seven members. Over the first council, which more immediately represents the executive authority, persides the Gotario, or prime-minister, who occupies the post of regent of Japan, in the event of minority, or during the temporary illness of the Tycoon. The Gotario is elected by the two Councils of State and the principal Daimios of the empire, from among the latter class.

　　　　　　　The Daimios form among themselves the Great Council of the empire, and in order that they may be known to the people, an official list of their names is published periodically at Yedo, the capital. The list gives the family name and genealogy of each, as well as the fullest particulars of his family, his wife, the names of his sons' wives, and his daughters' husbands, the number of his residences, the extent and value of his territorial and other property, the uniform of his retainers, the design of his coat of arms, the flag carried on his ships, and the shape and colour of the leather covering of his spears of state, carried before him on visits to the Mikado and the Tycoon. A list of Daimios published at Yedo in 1862, stated their number at 266, with incomes varying from 10,000 to 610,500 koban, or from about £15,000 to £915,500. The territory of each Daimio forms a sovereignty within itself, governed, in the case of the more powerful magnates, by a Secretary of State, called Karo, and a number of assistant ministers going by the title of Byshing, who are often persons of high rank. It is reported that "some Byshing are wealthier men than the majority of the Daimios, dwelling in splendid castles, and recognised by the Yedo government."

346

JAPAN.

Each of the great territorial magnates called Daimios being absolute lord within his own territory, and having power of life and death over all his subjects and dependents, certain districts only are under the immediate control of the central Government, and their revenues are assigned to the maintenance of the sovereign rulers of the State, the Mikado and the Tycoon. The influence of the former rose greatly after a short civil war, which came to an end at the commencement of 1869, and the consequences of which seem to tend to the establishment of a monarchy in Japan. Army and Population.

　　　　　The armed force of Japan is composed of two distinct elements:-1. The troops maintained by the Daimios, and destined for the defence of their domains. 2. The troops kept by the Tycoon, and constituting the imperial army. The number of Daimios who have troops in their service amounts to 200, and they together maintain an effective of 370,000 infantry, and 40,000 cavalry, forming the Federal army, and placed at the orders of the Tycoon when the independence of the country is threatenel. The imperial army, placed under the command of the Tycoon, reaches the nominal figure of 100,000 infantry and 20,000 cavalry, but its actual force does not exceed half of that amount. The late Tycoon reorganised the force in 1865-66, and it is said to comprise 80,000 men, infantry, cavalry, artillery, and engineers. The infantry is formed into regiments, manoeuvring like the French soldiers, and armed on the same model. A number of Japanese officers and sub-officers were instructed by French military men at Yokohama in 1866-69.

　　　　　The total area of Japan is estimated at 156,604 square miles, with a population of 35,000,000, or 229 per square mile. The empire is geographically divided into the thrée islands of Nippon, the central and most important territory; Kiushiu, "the nine provinces," the south-western island; and Sikok, "the four states," the southern island. Administratively, there consists a division into seven large districts, called "Do," or roads, which are subdivided into sixty-three provinces.

The number of foreigners settled in Japan is as yet very small. At the end of the year 1862, the foreign community at Kanagawa, the principal of six ports of Japan open to aliens, consisted of fifty-five natives of Great Britain; thirty-eight Americans; twenty Dutch; eleven French; and two Portuguese; and in the latter part of 1864 the permanent foreign residents in Kanagawa had increased to 300, not counting soldiers, of which number 140 were British subjects, and about 80 Ame- ricans, and 40 Dutch. At Nagasaki, the second port of Japan thrown open to foreign trade by the government, the number of alien settlers on the 1st January, 1866 amounted to 166, of whom there were-British subjects 70; American citizens 32: Dutch 26; Prussian 19; French 14; Portuguese 3; Swiss 2.

　　　　　A third port opened to European and American traders, that of Hakodadi, in the north of Japan, was deserted, after a lengthened trial, by nearly all the foreign merchants settled there, it having been found impossible to establish any satisfactory intercourse with the natives. Hukodadi is situated on an island where there is little or no cultivation, separated from the continent of Niphon by the Sangar Straits. No Japanese can enter Hakodadi or have commercial intercourse with any foreigner, without permission from the officials, who claim a large percentage on the business

transacted.

Fines are seldom im-

　　　　　There is an edict of 1637 still in force in the whole of Japan, which makes it a capital offence for natives to travel into other countries.

Japanese seamen, even when accidentally cast on foreign shores, are on their return subjected to a rigorous examination, and sometimes imprisonment, to purify them from the supposed pollu- tion contracted abroad. The laws of Japan are very severe. posed; banishment to the mines, imprisonment, torture, death by decapitation, and impaling on a cross, are ordinary penalties of crime, the shades of which are little distinguished. It frequently happens, also, that the courts visit with punishment not only the delinquents themselves, but their relatives and dependents, and even strangers who have accidentally been spectators of their crimes. The prisons are gloomy abodes, containing places for torture and private executions, besides numerous cells for solitary confinement.

　　　　　　　The Japanese police is extremely strict in the maintenance of order, and the punishment of delinquents. It is also charged with the registration of births, deaths, and marriages.

Trade and Commerce.

The commercial intercourse of Japan is carried on mainly with two countries, the United Kingdom and the United States of America; the former absorbing more than two-thirds of the whole. The extent of trade with the United Kingdom is shown in the subjoined table, which gives the value of the total exports from Japan to Great.

The trade of Japan with the United Kingdom has been of late years, as will be seen from the preceding table, constantly on the decline. It is generally stated that the diminished intercourse, particularly striking as regards the exports from Japan, was due to the influence of the Daimios, though this is contradicted by the best authorities. "Those who have most narrowly watched the progress of foreign inter- course with Japan," wrote the British Consul at Kanagawa, under date of March, 1864, "have long suspected that much of the antagonism to foreign countries, attri- buted by the Tycoon to the semi-independent Princes, was fictitious rather than real; that foreign trade as between the two parties was a struggle-on the Tycoon's side- to open the door leading to the outer world, of which he was lucky enough, in his representative capacity, according to the traditions and established institutions of Japan, to possess the key, at the highest price-on the side of the Daimios, to get cheaply through the carrier, and part with as little as possible of their profits."

　　　　　　The internal trade of Japan is very extensive, and a variety of regulations are in force, the object of which is to protect and encourage home industry. The prices of goods are not enhanced by imports of any kind; and communication between the great markets and all parts of the empire is facilitated by numerous coasting vessels and well-maintained roads. Foreign commerce, however, so far from being encouraged, is vigorously opposed by the Government. Nevertheless, by the treaties made with several European Governments-with the United States in March, 1854; with Great Britain in October 1854; with Russia and the Netherlands in 1855; with France in 1859; with Portugal in 1860; with Prussia and the Zollverein in 1861; with Swit- zerland in 1864; with Italy in 1866; and with Denmark in 1867-the six Japanese ports of Nagasaki, Kanagawa, Niegata, Hiogo, Osaka, and Hakodadi where thrown open to foreign commerce.

HONGKONG,

(From the "Colonial Office List.")

　　　　　　　Hongkong is one of a number of islands called by the Portuguese "Ladrones," or Thieves, from the notorious habits of the old inhabitants; it is situated off the south- eastern coast of China, at the mouth of the Canton River, about 40 miles east of Macao, between 22 9/ and 22 1/ N. lat., and 114 5 and 114 18/ E. long. This island is an irregular and broken ridge, stretching nearly cast and west: its broken and abrupt peaks rising sometimes to a great height above the sea level. Its length is about 11 miles, its breadth from 2 to 5 miles, its area rather more than 29 square miles. It is separated from the mainland of China by a narrow strait, known as the Ly-ee-moon Pass, which does not exceed half a mile in width. The opposite peninsula of Kow-loon has been ceded to Great Britain by a Treaty entered into by Lord Elgin in 1861 with the Government of China; it now forms part of Hongkong. The general aspect of the Colony has been described as extremely beautiful. In possesses one of the most magnificent harbours in the world, surrounded by picturesque hills rising between 3,000 and 4,000 feet high, and offers a coup d'œil which blends the wild scenery of Scotland to the classic beauty of Italy, and just enough of the tropics to heighten the effect. The annual range of the thermometer is said to be from 40° to 93 Fahr., but it is probably greater.

　　　　　　　The Colony was first ceded to Great Britain in January, 1841; the cession was confirmed by the Treaty of Nankin, in August, 1842; and the charter bears date 5th April, 1843. But Hongkong perhaps comes more properly under the designation of a great commercial depôt than that of a Colony; it is valuable to Great Britain mainly as a factory for our commerce with China, and as a military and naval station for the protection of that commerce; it possesses an excellent harbour, affording convenient, safe, and commodious anchorage for shipping; its distance from Singapore is about 1,520 miles.

　　　　　　　The occupation of Hongkong at its outset was effected at considerable cost to Imperial funds, the vote from Farliament in the year 1845 being nearly £50,000, in additional to military expenditure.

Hongkong may be considered to have paid its local establishments since 1854. The Government is administered by a Governor, aided by an Executive Council com- posed of the Colonial Secretary, the Officer Commanding the Troops, the Attorney- General, and the Auditor-General. The Legislative Council is presided over by the Governor, and is composed of the Chief-Justice, the Colonial-Secretary, the Attorney- General, the Treasurer, the Auditor-General, and four unofficial members, nominated by the Crown on the recommendation of the Governor.

　　　　　　　There is a large Police force in the Colony, numbering 649 men, of whom 129 are European, 383 Indians, and 137 Chinese, and 100 Sikhs added in March, 1867.

Hongkong is the centre of trade in many kinds of goods. Amongst the principal may be noticed opium, sugar, and flour, produced in Tungkoon. Salt, earthenware, oil, amber, cotton and cotton goods, sandalwood, ivory, betel, vegetables, live stock, granite, &c., &c. The principal transactions in the Tea and Silk trade are also con- trolled by firms residing in Hongkong.

As it is a free port, it is impossible to give a correct return of import and exports. A Stamp Tax was introduced by the Government in December, 1866, and is now in operation.

Annual average rain fall, 81 inches.

Hongkong pays £20,000 a year to the Imperial Government as a Military Con-

tribution.

Trade and Commerce.

The commercial intercourse of Hongkong-virtually a part of the commerce of China-is chiefly with Great Britain, the United States, and Germany, Great Britain absorbing about one-half of the total imports and exports. There are no official re- turns of the value of the imports and exports of the colony, from and to all countries, but only mercantile estimates, according to which the former average four, and the latter two millions sterling.

The value of

The imports from Hongkong into the United Kingdom have been registered only since the year 1861, being formerly included with those of China. these imports amounted to £137,864 in 1861; to £154,721 in 1862; to £1,288,907 in 1863; and to £2,881,929 in 1864. In 1865, the imports suddenly fell to £773,068; in 1866 to £282,288; in 1867 to £183,373; and in 1868 to £235,804.

The subjoined table gives the value of the exports of British and Irish produce and manufactures from 1848 to 1868, exhibiting separately the exports to China and to Hongkong, and jointly to both, so as to show the share of Hongkong in the com- merce of the Chinese empire:

GEOGRAPHICAL AND STATISTICAL.

351

It will be seen that the British trade with Hongkong underwent great fluctuations in the twenty years from 1848 to 1867, but which corresponded throughout with the general Chinese commerce, differing only in so far as showing a trebling in the value of the Exports sent direct to China during this period, and little progress in those sent by way of Hongkong.

(From the China Pilot.)

　　　　　　　Hongkong Island. About 9 miles long, N.W. by W. and S.E. by E., 2 to 5 miles broad, and with an area of about 29 square miles, lies between Lamma Island and the main, from which it is separated by a narrow channel a quarter of a mile wide, named Ly-ee-moon pass. The appearance of the island is somewhat picturesque, but on the whole it is generally barren and unprepossessing. It consists for the most part of rocky ranges, on the highest summit of which, Victoria Peak, 1,825 feet above the sea level, at the north-west part of the island, is a signal station, which communicates with the town of Victoria on the north and the ocean on the south. The island was first ceded to Great Britain by the treaty of Canton, in January, 1841, and again by the treaty of Nanking in August, 1842. The British settlement of Victoria is on its north side, nearly abreast of Kowloon point, the extreme of the peninsular of the mainland which forms the west side of Kowloon bay and which was ceded to Great Britain by the treaty of 1860. Water abounds everywhere, and is supplied to shipping by tanks: each valley of the least pretension sends its stream to the cultivated grounds near the shore, where a portion is retained for irrigation and the remainder is permitted to find its way to the sea.

　　　　　　　The population of Hongkong, in 1841, was only 5,000, but in 1861 it amounted to 119,321, of whom only 1,557 were European, and the remainder Chinese. In 1860, the total number of vessels entered was 1,534, amounting to 875,199 tons, of which 272 vessels, 160,410 tons, were in ballast. The native boats frequenting the island. import sugar, alum, sulphur, nut-oil, provisions, &c.; taking in exchange opium, manufactured goods, and saltpetre.

　　　　　　　The shores of Hongkong, are indented by numerous bays, of which the most con- siderable arc on its south-east shore. There is good anchorage throughout the entire channel between the island and the main, except in the Ly-ee-moou pass, where the water is deep: but the best anchorage is in Hongkong roads, in front of the settlement, where the depth is from 5 to 9 fathoms over good holding grouud. During the Typhoon months the anchorage in the northern part of the roads is considered preferable, in consequence of the shelter afforded by Kowloon peninsular to the north-east, the point from which the wind blows hardest. The inner anchorage in Victoria bay is in 6 and 7 fathoms water, about half a mile off shore, abreast the ordnance jetty, where a vessel will be sheltered from the eastward by Kellett's Island and the rocks off east o Matheson point, and be out of the strength of the tide.

Aberdeen Dock.--Aberdeen or Shekpywan harbour is a narrow inlet formed between the south-west shore of Hongkong and a small island off it named Aberdeen or Taplichau. On the Hongkong shore of the harbour is a private graning granite dock, with caisson gate 60 feet wide. The dock is 310 feet long on blocks, and 334 feet at top, 42 feet wide at bottom, and 71 feet at top, and depth on sill is 18 to 18 feet at springs, and 15 to 16 feet at neaps.

From October to January inclusive the average is 183 feet at springs, and about 17 feet for the remainder of the year.

A new granite dock called the "Hope Dock," in honour of Admiral Sir James Hope, was opened on the 15th June, 1867, by H. E. the Governor, Sir Richard Graves lacDonnell. The length is 425 feet, breadth 90 feet, caisson gate 70 feet wide, depth over sill 21 to 24 feet.

The patent slip laid down in 1847 at East or Matheson point, on the northern shore of Hongkong, was at that time capable of taking vessels of 600 tons, but now only those of 400 tons.

Tides. It is high water, full and change, in Hongkong roads at 10h. 15m., and springs rise about 4 feet. The tides around the island are irregular, flowing and ebbing without any apparent change of direction at the surface, and sometimes there appears to be only one tide in 24 hours.

352

HONGKONG.

　　　　　　Directions.-Hongkong road is generally approached by sailing vessels from the westward, on which side it is protected by Green Island and Kellett Bank, which extends nearly 1 miles northward from the latter island, and carries a depth of 3 fathoms. It is sometimes approached from the eastward through the Ly-ee-moon Pass during the N.E. monsoon, but the winds are generally baffling under the high land.

When abreast Green Island, if the vessel be of heavy draught, keep the peak of Lamina Island (Mount Senhouse, 1,140 feet high) open westward of Green Island S. E. until Devil's Peak (on the mainland near Ly-ee-moon Pass) is in the line with the White rock on the south point of Won-chu-chau, or Stone-cutter's Island, when a S.E. by E. course will lead northward of Kellett Bank, and direct for the anchorage.

　　　　　Vessels of proper draught can proceed over Kellett Bank or through the 4 fathoms channel between Green Island and the south part of the bank, by passing about 1 cables northward of the Island, and then steering for the road.

The narrow channel between Green Island and Hongkong, may be taken if a fresh fair wind blows right through. Many sailing vessels have used it, amongst which were H.M.'s ships Modeste, Wellesley, and Vernon. It has depths of 10 to 12 fathoms in the middle, shoaling to 8, 6, and 44 fathoms after passing the small islets eastward of Green Island.

　　　　　Tytam Bay and Harbour.-There are several small bays on the southern shore of Hongkong, all of which are safe for small vessels; but at the south-east part of the island is a deep inlet, named Tytam bay, 2 miles deep, 1 miles wide at entrance, free from danger, and carries a depth of 10 to 16 fathoms. Tytam head, the western point of entrance, is a high luff, with 13 and 14 fathoms near it; from thence the western shore of the bay trends about N. by E. three-quarters of a mile to a small sandy bay, with a rocky islet fronting the beach. About half a mile northward of the islet the land forms a round projecting point, and northward of this point is a large bay, with a sandy beach, in which is Tytam village.

Tylong head, or Cape D'Aguilar, off which are two green islets, forms the eastern point of entrance to Tytam bay, and from thence the eastern shore of the bay bends round to the northward for 2 miles, and terminates in a small inlet, called Tytam har- bour, carrying 4 to 6 fathoms, but its head, to the northwest, is shoal and rocky. This bay would be useful to a vessel in the event of her being near Wag-lan at the close of the day, with the probability of a dark and tempestuous night, for by ruuning in she will at any rate be snug, even if there should be a typhoon during the night.

　　　　　Water. At the head of Tytan harbour there is a rivulet of fresh water, which, however, cannot be procured without inconvenience when the tide is low. be obtained at Tytam village, on the western shore of the bay.

Water may

Tides.-There is little tide in Tytam bay, and, like all the places hereabouts, it is difficult to fix the time of high water, owing to the variety of channels, and the wind greatly influencing the tidal streams; but the rise and fall is about 7 or 8 feet at springs, and about 3 or 4 feet at neaps.

The ebb sets to the eastward between Lo-chau and Hongkong.

HISTORICAL NARRATIVE.

(From Dungstedt's "Historical Sketch.)

A few years later (1560) Europeans settled at Macao; by what right is a topic of contention. At the arrival of the Portuguese, there issued from innumerable islands, rocks, and creeks, along the sea-coast of China, a daring set of adventurers, less intent on exercising lawful industry, than bent on plundering peaceful, industrious inhabitants. Merchants were peculiarly molested, because a successful attempton them insures to the chief and his crew a valuable booty, to be shared among them. That the trade might be uninterrupted, the Portuguese determined to annoy and exterminate, if possible, this race, almost as vexatious to them as to the Chinese. Having clearing the gulf of China of the free-booters who had infested it, the Portuguese sought a quarrel with a Regulo, or potentate of the island Heang-shan. The grievances that provoked the war are not men- tioned, nor is it known when the hostilities began, how long they continued, nor even the particulars of their termination. It is maintained that, after a vigorous resistance, the Regulo was subdued, the island conquered, and the victors putin possession of their share. As no covenants or treaty of peace ever appeared in public, it remains an absolute im- possibility to determine the ultimate limits of the conquest the Portuguese pretend to have made on that island. A rock towards the south-east, constituting the boundary of Heang-shan, was of course comprehended in the conquest. On that, the Portuguese fixed their abode, being particularly well suited for the carrying on of domestic and foreign trade. A town, called Cidade do nome de Deos de Macao, rose by degrees on the peninsula; not by the grace and concession of any of the Emperors of China, for such as denied, but by the success of the chivalrous arms of Portugal. The above is copied from a ministerial memorandum, drawn up fifty years ago. It is contradicted by the subsequent assertion. Chinese chronologists have noted down that in the 30th year of the reign of Kea-tsing (1535) one foreign vessel appeared, and in 1537 another, on the coast of the gulf of China. The merchants required and obtained permission to land and to raise a few huts for temporary shelter, and the drying of goods, which had been damaged on board the ships. That this accommodation was granted between 1522, when the Portuguese were driven from San-chan, and the time taken up for negociation a reconciliation, is by no means unlikely. During the lapse of eighteen or twenty years (1527 to 1557), the Chines and the Portuguese met again, it seems for trade, either at Tamaoor Lampacao. In 1557 the parties concurred at Macao, because the Mandarins permitted strangers to fix them- selves on a desert island then known by the denomination of Amangao. Such is the state- ment Fernao Mendes Pinto has given us in his peregrinations or voyages. This asser- tion is not contradicted by any of the contemporary authors, who wrote of the first exploits of their countrymen in China. The gentlemen to whom the terms could not be unknown were Jesuits, for a few of them came hither in 1562. With thein, Mathew Ricci, coming (1528) from India, spent some time, and must have been intimate; being a man of learn- ing and of an enquiring spirit-a Jesuit-he naturally enough asked on what footing foreigners stood in respect to China. Had they been settled by right of conquest, he would undoubtedly have recorded it in the Italian Journal he kept, the cause of the war, and the articles of pacification. Trigaulo, who gathered from it many interesting notices, contained in "Christiana expedition apud Sinas," adverts merely to the im pression the fleet under the command of Fernao Peres d'Andrade left on the mind of the Mandarins, whose duty it was to protect the coast from foreign invasion. John de Barros, who never saw Asia, wrote three Decades of Asia, a work continued by Diogo de Couto; both of these historians speak of the progress the Portuguese made in India and

364

MACAO.

China. Alvaro Semedo, who governed in 1621, a Roman Catholic Church at Nan- chang-foo, in his "Relatione de la China," and Manoel de Faria e Souza, in his "Asia Portuguesa," allege that the Portuguese obtained permission to inhabit Macao, be- cause they had cleared the island of pirates. Diogo de Couto came in 1556 to India; he had served eight years in the army, visited Lisbon, and came back to Goa. Phillipe I., proclaimed in 1581 King of Portugal, commanded him to continue De Barros' Asia, making him Royal Chronicler of India. The silence of Diogo, an accurate engineer, proves evidently the fallacy of the above allegation. According to De Guignes, in his "Voyage to Pekin," the pirates were vanquished in 1563, an epoch at which the Por- tuguese had been six years in possession of Macao. The mighty sea-rover, denominated by him and others Chang-si-lao, kept the provincial capital, Canton, besieged, when Kea-tsing was on the throne-according to other writers during the reign of Kang- he. May not Chang-si-loa be a corrupt and foreign pronunciation of Chin-chin-lung* the father of Chiu-chin-kiang or Hoxinga, by changing Chin to Chung, chi to si, lung to lao? For in the historical abridgment by Duhalde of these sovereigns, the men with whom either one or the other must have been contemporary is not mentioned. However, one of these two Emperors rewarded, it is pretended, the Portuguese, by whose valour and victory the siege of Canton was raised, the pirates destroyed, and their chief slain, granting to them in perpetuity the island on which Macao is actually standing. But as no authentic act of donation ever was produced, the cession, resting merely upon traditional presumption, shall we not be justified in agreeing with Frigauld, that the Chinese, having by degree overcome the panic at first sight excited by the tremendous Portuguese ships, petitioned the emperor to grant to foreign merchants a residence on a peninsula, or rather a rock, constituting a part of a greater island. "To this proposal the sovereign acceded, stipulating that the strangers should pay tribute or ground-rent, and duties on their merchandise." Of this opinion are both the Chinese and Tartars. Neither a few chops-official documents-suspended in the Senate house, nor those two hundred which Jesuits translated at Goa, by command of Mar- quis de Alorso, who governed Portuguese India in 1744, prove anything to the con- trary; we therefore willingly side with La Clede, who, in his "Ilistoria de Portugal," avers the "the Portuguese demanded leave to move to a desert island, called Macao, is was granted, and sometime after liberty to built a few houses;" and we likewise agree with the opinion of Dom+ Alexandre da Silva Pedroso Guimaraens, bishop of Macao, who, as acting governor, wrote (1777) to the Senate, "by paying ground-rent, the Portuguese acquired the temporary use and profit of Macao, ad libitum, of the emperor." Unwilling to deprive its natural subjects of the advantages of trade, and still more unwilling to expose them to the violence of rapacious and unruly guests, the government resolved (it appears from the concession) to place the strangers in such situation that they may feel their dependence on the empire, without forcing it a third time to the e termination of men and the destruction of property. In my opinion it is safer to ascribe the possession of Macao to imperial bounty rather than to conquest; for the conquerors would be compelled to give up the place, were the Chinese government but to command the tradesmen, mechanics, and servants, to leave off their business and retire, and there- upon issue an order not to furnish the inhabitants with provisions. The first settlers where in a less precarious state, if it be true that many of ther held, in the conquered part of Keang-shan, landed property, for its produce rendered them (the Portuguese) independent of China, so far as the supply of the necessaries of life went. By whose hand the earth was cultivated is not mentioned in the memorandum we have noted; but it blames the owners for supineness, in not strenuously opposing the Chinese when they began to encroach upon the domain of Portugal. The intruders appropriated to them- selves not only the whole of this fruitful island, but they likewise drew across the isth- mus that separates it from Macao, a wall-it was constructed in 1573 for the protection of the country, and to prevent their children from being kidnapped.

barrier is a door of communication, called porta do cerco, guarded by a few Chinese soldiers and an officer, that no stranger may pass this boundary. In the beginning the door was, according to Dominio Navarette,* opened but twice a month, then, every fifth day for selling provisions to the secluded; at present it opens at daylight.

Topographical Description.

　　　　　　　Macao is situated 22 deg. 11 min. 30 sec. north latitude, and 113 deg. 32 min. 30 sec. east of Greenwich, on a rocky peninsula, renowned, long before the Portuguese settled on it, for its safe harbour; then by foreign writers denominated Ama-ngao, port of Ama, in reference to an idol temple near the Bar Fort, the goddess of which is called Ama. In 1583 the Portuguese gave it the name "Porto de nome de Deos," and "Porto de Amacoa," the etymology of Macao: later it was also called "Cidade do nome de Deos do porto de Macao," at present it is Cidade do Santo nome de Deos de Macao." The Mandarins, I am told, designated the use of the port by the character Gauo-mun, and that of the city by Gaon-king; Aou-mun is a provincial pronunciation of Gaou- mun. This hilly settlement is dependent on the Keang-shan-keen, city of the third class, in the province of Kwang-tung, but separated from the large island Heang-shan by a wall drawn across the neck of land from shore to shore. Two principal ranges of hi'ls, one running from south to north, the other from east to west, may be considered as irming an angle, the base of which leans upon the river or anchoring place. Its level ground, with the exception of a few habitations of European architecture, is filled by the Bazaar, and a great many Chinese shops for tradesmen and mechanics: the traveller's attention is roused by a variety of public and private buildings, raised on the declivities, skirts, and heights of hillocks. On the lofty mount eastward, called Cbaril, is a fort, enclosing the hermitage of Na. Sra. de Guia; westward is Nillau, on the top of which stands the hermitage of Na. Sra. de Penha; entering a wide semi- circular bay, which faces the east, on the right hand we have the fort S. Francisco; on the left, that of Na. Sra. de Bom Parto; and before us, on landing, a broad, airy, spa- cious quay-" I'raya Grande," and many pretty houses, among which is the residence of the Governor, and that of the Minister. To the east of the town is a field, " Campo," which stretches itself out to the very boundary wall that closes the prison of Macao. The territory is scarcely eight miles in circuit. Its greatest length, from north-east to south-west, being under three miles, and its breadth less than a mile.|| The Portuguese estimate the Peninsula at a little more than a league in length; its mid-breadth at less than a mile. The first geometrical delineation of Macao was undertaken and executed by Manoel de Agote, chief factor of the royal Spanish Phillipine company in China, and Mr. De Guignes the younger. You will find Agote's map inserted in the collection of drawings appertaining to the "Account of the embassy of Lord Macartney to China," and that of De Guignes in his "Voyage a Peking." In 1808, by command of the Supreme Government, a map was made by Joaquim Bento da Fonceca. The peninsula is nearly surrounded by sheets of water, subject to the influence of ebb and flood from the gulf of China. The regular inonsoon-winds, the streams of salubrious water, burst- ing out at the foot of Charil and Nillau, and the benefit of a well stocked Bazaar, render Macao wholesome and comfortable, though now and then-but seldom-it is shaken by the convulsive motions of earthquakes; it is oftener visited by dreadful typhoons, a species of hurricanes.

MANILA.

　　　　The Capital of Luçonia, the largest of the Philippine Islands, and the principal settlement of the Spaniards in the East, is in lat. 14° 36' 8" N., lon. 120° 53 E. Po- pulation about 100,000, of whom from 4,000 to 5,000 may be Europeans. Manila is built on the shore of a spacious bay of the same name, at the mouth of a river navigable for small vessels a considerable way into the interior. The smaller class of ships anchor in Manila roads, in five fathoms, the north bastion bearing N. 37 E., the fishery stakes at the river's mouth N. 18° E., distant about a mile; but large ships anchor at Cavite, about three leagues to the southward, where there is a good har- bour, well sheltered from the W. and S.W. winds. The arsenal is at Cavite; which is defended by Fort St. Philippe, the strongest fortress on the islands. The city is surrounded by a wall and towers, and some of the bastions are well furnished with artillery.

　　　　Though situated within the tropics, the climate of the Philippines is sufficiently temperate; the only considerable disadvantage under which they labour in this respect being that the principal part of the group come within the range of the typhoons. The soil is of very different qualities; but for the most part singularly fertile.

They are rich in mineral, vegetable, and animal productions. It is stated in a statistical account of the Philippines, published at Manila in 1818 and 1819, the entire population of the islands amounted to 2,219,852, of which 1,376,222 belonged to Luçonia. But this return is believed to have been under-rated; and the population having increased very con- siderably in the interval, it is now estimated at about 4,000,000. There are some, but not many, Chinese settlers, and but few Europeans. The natives are said to be the most active, bold, and energetic of any belonging to the Eastern Archipelago. people," says a most intelligent navigator," appear in no respect inferior to those of Europe. They cultivate the earth like men of understanding; are carpenters, joiners, smiths, goldsmiths, weavers, masons, &c. I have walked through their villages, and found them kind, hospitable, and communicative; and though the Spaniards speak of and treat them with contempt, I preceived that the vices they attributed to the Indians ought rather to be imputed to the government they have themselves established."-(Voyage de M. de la Perouse, c. 15.)

　　　　The trade of the Philippines has increased very rapidly of late years. The imports principally consist of cotton stuffs and yarn, iron and hardware, woollens and wor steds, machinery, wines and spirits, furniture, arms and ammunition, apparel, slops, &c. By far the largest portion of the imports is supplied by the United Kingdom; but owing to the high discriminating duties in favour of goods imported on Spanish bottoms, a large proportion of the British goods are brought in Spanish ships from Singapore. In 1856 the imports of British produce were valued at £1,575,000, and the exports of Philippine produce on British account at £1,370,000. The Americans export produce worth about £1,000,000; and as their imports are a mere trifle, the balance is extinguished by drafts on London. Manila has also an extensive and increasing trade with China, Singapore, Java, Australia, India, &c.

　　　　The quantity of rice and paddy shipped to China from the islands cannot be ascertained with any degree of exactness; what goes from Manila is very small, because, before arriving there, it has, by its transport expense added to the price at which it is obtained in the districts where it is produced, which, of course, prevents its being shipped from the capital. Probably, however, about a million coyans, each of which, one with another, weighs about a China picul, or 183 lbs., may be annually exported. The export is regulated by the supposed scarcity or abundance of food in the country.-M'Micking's Manila, p. 270.

But the exports have increased very greatly since 1850. Thus, the exports of sugar to England and Australia only amounted in 1856 to 626,075 piculs, the whole exports of the year having exceeded 50,000 tons. The export of Hemp during the same year amounted to 21,986 tons, of which by far the largest portion went to the United States.

Port Charge. On foreign vessel, 2rs. per ton, and one-half on such as neither load nor unload cargo, besides fees amounting from $5 to $15, according to the size of vessels.

Import Duties.-Spanish commodities, by Spanish vessels, pay 3 per cent. ad valorem, and 8 by foreign. Foreign commodities, by foreign vessel, 14 per cent. and 7 by Spanish; the general being 8 per cent. under national flag from Singapore, and 9 from China. Spirits and strong liquour, produce of Spain, by Spanish vessels, 10 per cent., and 25 by foreign; if they be foreign produce, by Spanish vessels, 30 per cent. and 60 by foreign. Cider and beer, produce of Spain, Spanish vessels, 3 per cent., and 10 by foreign; if they be foreign produce, by Spanish vessels 20, and 25 foreign. All Spanish wines, by national vessels, 3 per cent. and 8 by foreign. Foreign wines, by Spanish vessels, 40 per cent. and 50 by foreign, except champagne, which pays, by Spanish vessels 7 per cent., and 14 by foreign. Cotton twist, grey, black, blue, and purple-knives, or bolos, such as the natives use-ready made clothes, boots, shoes, preserved fruits, confectionery and vinegar, by Spanish vessels 20 per cent. and 30 by foreign. British and other foreign cotton and silk manufactures, made in imitation of native cloths, chiefly stripes or checks of black, blue, and purple colors, Madras and Bengal grey, white, and printed cottons, towels, table-napkins, and table-cloths, 15 per cent. by Spanish vessels and 25 by foreign. Biche de mer, rattans, diamonds, tortoiseshell, mother-o'-pearl shell, and birds nests, 1 per cent. by Spanish vessels, and 2 by foreign. Machinery of all sorts for the promotion of the industry of the country, cotton twist of red, rose, yellow, and green colors, gold and silver, coined or uncoined, plants, and seeds, free. Tropical productions similar to those of the Philip- pines, also arrack and gunpowder, are prohibited. Opium is only admitted to be deposited for re-exportation. Swords, fowling-pieces, muskets, pistols, and warlike stores may

be deposited for re-export, and cannot be introduced without the special licence of government; but cannon and dress swords are admitted.

Export Duties.-Commodities and produce of every description to Spain, by national vessels, pay 1 per cent. and 2 by foreign. Elsewhere, 1 by Spanish vessels, and 3 by foreign. Hemp, by national vessels to whatever destination, I per cent. and 2 by foreign. Rice, by Spanish vessels, free, and 4 per cent. by foreign. Manufac- tured tobacco, and cordage of Manila hemp, free by all flags. Gold dust, gold in bars, and silver in bars, free.

　　　　　　　Entrepôt Duties.-One per cent. ad valorem, and 1 per cent. at the exportation, with 1 per cent. more if the commodities should be kept there more than twelve months, two years being the longest time allowed for it.

Port and Custom-house Regulations.-Vessels newly arrived are not to com- municate with the shore until having been visited by the port captain's boat; and within thirty hours after this visit, a manifest must be presented, stating packages, marks, and numbers, but the vessel may retain her cargo ten days in transit without stating whether for consumption or deposit, and without being obliged to land or in- curring any charge on the same, except gunpowder, pocket pistols, and forbidden arms. Terms for Sales and Purchases.-Sales and purchases made, duty paid, at three to five months credit, occasionally at 24 per cent. discount, for prompt payment, and exports are bought for cash.

The principal currency of Manila consists of Spanish dollars of 8 reals and 96 grains, but South American dollars are also current. The weights in use are the Spanish lb., which is nearly 2 per cent. heavier than the English; the arroba=25} English lbs. nearly; the quintal=102 lbs. ; and the picul of 5 arrobas or 1 cwt. English. The coyan is a measure for rice, &c., varying from 96 to 135 lbs.

Considering the great fertility and varied productions of the Philippines and their peculiarly favourable situation for carrying on commerce, the limited extent of

their trade, even with its late increase, may excite surprise. This, however, is entirely in consequence of the wretched policy of the Spanish government, which persevered until very recently in excluding all foreign ships from the ports of the Philippines, confining the trade between them and Mexico and South America to a "Provisions," says single ship!-even ships and settlers from China were excluded.

　　　La Perouse, "of all kinds are in the greatest abundance here, and extremely cheap; but clothing, European hardware, and furniture bear an excessively high price. The want of competition, together with prohibitions and restraints of every kind laid on commerce, render the productions and merchandise of India and China at least as dear as in Europe" Happily, however, this miserable policy, the effects of which have been admirably depicted by M. de la Perouse, has been materially modified of late years. The events of the revolutionary war destroyed for ever the old colonial system of Spain; and the ships of all nations are now freely admitted into Manila and the other ports in the Philippines. An unprecedented stimulus has in conse

　　　　　　been given to all sorts of industry; and its progress will no dobut become more rapid, according as a wider experience and acquaintance with foreigners make the natives better aware of the advantages of commerce and industry, and disabuse them of the prejudices of which they have been so long the slaves.

ILOILO.

OBSERVATIONS ON THE TRADE AND NAVIGATION OF ILOILO.

By Nicolas Loney, Esq., Her Majesty's Vice-Consul.

Vessels bound from Manila, or from Ports to the Northward, during the N.E. monsoon, safely proceed towards Iloilo by the Maricaban passage, between Luzon and Mindoro, and through the chain of Islands off N.E. coast of Panay. For this route, the charts of the Spanish "Commission Idrogafica," complied by Don Claudio Monteros in 1857, would be useful. After passing Tablas and Remblon (which latter island possesses an excellent harbour, much frequented by coasting vessels as a port of refuge and for obtaining supplies,) steer for the group of small islands called collectively the "Silanga," lying off the N.E. of Panay, a good mark for which is the high conical island called Pan de Azucar, or Sugar-loaf, which is visible from a great distance. In approaching these islands during the N.E. monsoon, vessels should pass between the islets of Jintotolo and Zapato-Major, and during the S.W. monsoon more in towards the Panay shore, between Olutaty and Zapato-Minor. After lea- ving the Zapato, the course is to the south of the Gigantes, and the channel through the group of islands is generally entered between Snogon and Calanan, from whence the route is continued between Culebre and the main Pan de Azucar and Malangaban, inside Ygbon Bulabadingan and Tagubanhan islands. Through the passage between these islands there is safe anchorage. The Estancia affords ex- cellent anchorage and shelter at all times, and at Apiton opposite Yogubanham, there is also good anchorage in both monsoons. In the S.W. monsoon there is safe an- chorage between Pan de Azucar and Sobrero islands, and in the bay of Malagonoes. In the N.E. monsoon, in addition to the Estancia and Apiton, there is good anchor- age under Pan de Azucar, in the small bay or indent looking S.E. At Bacauan, or La Conception, is the residence of the Commandant of the district, and from hence assistance and supplies may be had, if needed, and at the place marked Apiton (Aguada) on the charts, good water is easily obtainable.

The broader channel between the islands Panay and Negros, although apparently good, and though formerly adopted by several ships bound to Iloilo, is now found not to be safe, there being large patches of shoal water with coral, imperfectly surveyed, extending off the Batayan and Negros shore. Vessels have occasionally touched in coming through this passage, and it should not therefore be taken.

After passing Tagubanhan and Apiton, and emerging into the broad channel between Panay and Negros, the best course is to steer direct for the highest land visible on the island of Guimarás, care being taken to ciear Pepinas rocks, which lie some distance off the shore and are awash.

Leaving the Calabazas islets and Patitas, the route after making the small block-house near Banate, is due south, until a group of seven remarkable rocks, which lie between the N.E. end of Guimaras and Panay shore, called the Siete Pecados, are sighted. On opening the channel between Guimarás and Panay and getting the Siete Pecados to bear W. N., steer direct for the passage between these rocks and the Panay shore. This course will clear the Iguana Bank, lying to the S.E., of the Pecados, with 1 to 2 fathoms of water on it, and Point Dumanges to the N.E., the shoal water off which extends to a considerable distance.

370

ILOILO.

The lead is a good guide through the Siete Pecados channel, giving 4, 7, 8,11 and 15 fathoms until the Pecados are passed to the southward, when the water deepens to 18 and 19 fathoms. The channel between these rocks and Guimaras is not good. On passing the Pecados the south shore should be kept on board, to avoid the shoal water on the Panay side. When the fort, which is half-a-mile to the west of the river Iloilo, bears W.S.W., steer for it, anchoring as convenient in 10 to 12 fathoms, a little more than a quarter of a mile off shore to the eastward of the river.

　　　　　Though the northern passage just described is safe and convenient in the northerly monsoon, and is always used by coasters in both seasons, strangers will probably prefer the route along the west coast of Panay, making Iloilo from the south. This route should always be adopted in the S.W. monsoon. Making the western coast of Panay from the Mindoro Strait, this coast, comprising the province of Antique, should be closed, Es the westernly monsoon is not very regular, and does not often blow strongly between the Cuyos Island and Panay, or the north of Basiland. It may be approached with safety anywhere to the southward of the islands of Barbatan and Maralison, which latter has a reef to the east and west. Barbatan, which is very steep, affords, with Lipata (under this latter point), the only available anchorage on the Antique coast during the S.W. monsoon, but in the N.E. monsoon the harbour of San José de Buena Vista is quite safe, and affords good supplies of provisions and water, being not unfrequently visited by whalers for that purpose.

The south coast of Panay is free from dangers till near the town of Otong. The coast of Guimaras to the north of Point Balingasag, or the north of Port St. Anna, is likewise safe. This port is capable of admitting vessels of large tonnage, and affords shelter under almost any circumstances. The Bights along the coast have deep water and vessels can work close in shore, or from point to point, with perfect safety; but generally there is no good anchorage, as the coast is steep and the holding-ground not good.

In passing the S. W. point of Panay during the night, the island of Juraojurao and Nogas should not be closed, as both have reefs round them to the southward. When clear of these islands on rounding the S.W. point of Panay, vessels may safely steer N.. by E. 33 miles without any danger, but after running that distance they should heave-to during the night, or if the night is very clear run towards the Panay shore, keeping the lead going, and when the water shoals, anchoring till daylight, as by keeping over to the Guimaras shore (particularly in the N.E. monsoon) they will find no anchorage, and will lose ground.

It is necessary to follow the above instructions carefully, because the Otong Bank extends more to the west and south-west than is shown on the present published chart, and is yearly increasing, and also because the tide runs very strongly on both sides of it. With the flood tide (against the N.E. monsoon), vessels can easily work up in short tacks under the Guimaras shore.

The Otong Bank in 8 miles in length N.E. and S. W., by 23 miles N.W. by W.. and S.E. by E. at its broadest part. It is of fine sand, with depths varying from to 3 fathoms. The edges is some places are steep, and the others shoal gradually. To avoid this danger, vessels should, after closing Guimarás, keep that shore on board, and be careful in beating up not to close the Panay side to less than four fathoms, and not to stand further from the Guimaras shore than half-a-mile, until point Cabalig bears S. by W. W. 2 miles, when they should stand across and open the port of Iloilo clear of Point Bonduyan, which kept open will clear the Guimaras Bank lying between Points Cabalig and Bondulan.

Care should be taken in standing across towards the Otong Bank, to tack as soon as the water shoals to 6 fathoms, as the Bank is steep-to. A passing Point Bondulan, the fort should not be brought to the eastward of N.E. by E. Guimarús Bank, with 11 feet on its shoalest part, extends in a N.E. by E., and S.W. by S. direction a little over a mile, and about three cables east and west, with deep water all round. The S.W. head bears from Point Bondulan N.N.E. E. 1; miles. Iloilo fort kept open of Point Bondulan will clear this danger.

　　　　　These banks have been recently surveyed, in May 1864, by the officers of the Spanish "Hydrographical Commission," but the charts have not yet been published.

GEOGRAPHICAL AND STATISTICAL.

371

At foot is a note of the position in which it is intended to place two lights, which will greatly facilitate the entrance from the south.

Anchorage.-The island of Guimarás forms in front of Iloilo a sheltered passage, running nearly N. and S., about 2 miles broad, with deep water and good holding ground except immediately to the eastward of the fort, where the sand is loose. In mid-channel the depths exceed 20 fathoms. The best anchorage, least exposed to the sweep of the tides, is to bring the Bantay (guard house), off the south point of the river to bear N.W. N., with the fort bearing S. W. W. Here a ship is out of the strong- est current, with the advantage that cargo-boats can easily reach her and return.

　　　　　　　　TO ENTER THE RIVER AND INNER PORT OF ILOILO.-Although the land is low at the entrance, the mouth of the river is distinctly seen, being marked by beacons on the port and starboard sides. On entering keep the port beacon close on board, after pas- sing which and the watch house, steer for the second point on the starboard hand, giving it a berth of forty feet. The east bank, with 16 feet, should be closed to this distance until after the first sharp bend of the creek is passed, and then the port side to the wharf or anchorage. Vessels usually bring up at jetties, about half-a-mile to one mile from the entrance, and have the advantage, if of moderate size, of discharging and loading at the stores without employing boats. The creek, or rather tidal river, varies in breadth from a quarter to half-a-mile, and reaches beyond the town of Melo, meet- ing the sea again near Iloilo; and another branch continues as far as Otong.

DEPTH OF WATER.-The depth at the entrance to the river is nearly 5 fathoms at low water, but at a short distance within it decreases to 15 feet, and then deepens. The rise of tide being 63 feet, vessels drawing 16 to 18 feet can easily enter and leave; and when, as is proposed, a dredging-machine is employed to clear away the mud which has been allowed to accumulate, vessels of almost any draught will be able to complete their cargo inside. Ships of 1,000 tons register have loaded part cargoes alongside the jetties. The custom is to load to 14 to 15 feet in the river and complete loading outside.

TIDES. It is high water at Iloilo, full and change, at noon; springs rise 6 feet. The stream runs at springs quite 3 to 4 knots through Iloilo. The flood sets to the northward. The ebb tide to the north of Petitas rocks runs to the eastward, but to the south of these rocks, to the westward.

VARIATION ON THE COMPASS, 1° 15 E.

PROVISIONS AND WATER.-Fresh beef is cheap and good. Good water can always be got a little to the north and south of the village of Pilator Buena Vista, on Guimarás. It is best to take up the casks at high water on the beach, and with the aid of the natives fill them, so as to be ready to go off with the following tide. Take care to leave a little before high water, so as to be sure of reaching the ship, as the tide changes suddenly, and runs down with great strength.

REPAIRS. The river of Iloilo affords considerable facilities for heaving vessels down. At the fine port of Santa Anna, on the island of Guimarás, is a building-yard.

PORT DUES.-On foreign vessels arriving and leaving in ballast, 12 cents per ton, with cargo inward or outwards, or both, 25 cent per ton. Payment at one port clears for the other open ports of the Philippines in a proportional extent.

　　　　　　　MANIFEST.-This document must be certified by the Spanish Consul at the port from which the vessels arrive, under penalty of a fine of $200. This also applies to vessels in ballast.

MONEY.-The currency is confined to Spanish and South American dollars and subdivisions, and to the $1, $2 and $4 gold pieces coined in Manila.

WAGES -The wages of labourers for shipping average from 25 to 30 cents a day;

Carpenters 31 to 50 cents; Caulkers 37 cents.

372

ILOILO.

WEIGHTS AND MEASURES.-The picul of 110 catties, or 140 lbs. English; the quintal of 4 arrobas, or 100 lbs. Spanish, equal to 100 lbs. English; the arroba of 25 lbs. Spanish.

　　　　　　PRODUCE. The country round Iloilo and in the province and islands generally is very fertile and extensively cultivated. It is well peopled, and there are towns of 18, 20, 30, and 40 thousand inhabitants in the vicinity and interior, and on the coast. Nearly all tropical productions can be grown on the island, but the chief articles of export are Sugar (which is at present the most important), Tobacco, Sapanwood, Rice, Hides, Hemp (imported coastwise), Cattle, and a large quantity of available native textures, made of the fibre of the pineapple leaf, Silk, Hemp, and other fibres. These textures are mostly for native consumption in the Archipelago. The quantity of sugar has increased rapidly since the opening of the port to direct foreign trade.

　　　　　　At the fine island of Negros the planting of cane is being much extended. The bulk of the plantations is owned by natives, but a number of Europeans have formed estates there, and several steam mills for crushing cane have recently been erected. Very productive land, in good positions, is to be had; labour is not scarce; convey- ance of produce by sea to the Iloilo market is safe and expeditious, and intending planters could scarcely fine a more eligible district.

COFFEE.-Thrives well, but is not yet cultivated on a scale to allow of export.

　　　　　The population of the province of Iloilo is now 595,000; that of the island of Panay 863,000; Negros 140,000.

　　　　　　Direct imports from Europe have recently taken place at Iloilo, and the amount of European goods consumed is becoming important.

Additional Note, regarding Lighthouses to be erected at Iloilo.

Two lights are to be placed by the Spanish Government in the south-western entrance of the port of Iloilo. One, a third-class light, is to be situated at the point marked G in the plan of the recently made survey, a mile S. 30 W. of Point Cabalig. The other will be of the fourth-class, and placed at the fort in the port of Iloilo. The point marked G is of rock, about 160 bears N. 85 W., consequently any vessel entering the port from the south, by keeping well in to the Light before taking up that course towards the north, will completely clear the bank.

The south point of Panay bears from the point G, S. 70 W. The light of the Iloilo fort determines by its position all the S.E. edge of the Otong bank, and by it vessels can pass safely through all the channel formed by the bank and Guimarás coast, with the advantage that it (the light) gives, also the N.W. edge of the Guimaras bank, in the south of Point Bondulan. On this account a vessel beating up

should not lose sight of the south light.

POST OFFICE NOTIFICATION.

It is hereby notified for general information, that henceforward Letters containing coin posted in the United Kingdom addressed to Hongkong, or posted in Hongkong addressed to the United Kingdom, on which the Fee for Registration has not been paid, will be compulsory registered and charged on delivery with a double Registra- tion Fee; and further, any Letters having the word "Registered" written upon them, which may be posted without Registration, will be forwarded, charged in like manner with a double Registration Fee.

In the event of a Letter being supposed to contain coin and being consequently thus treated, and proof being afterwards afforded that the Letter did not contain coin, the amount charged will be refunded.

F. W. MITCHELL, Postmaster-General.

General Post Office, Hongkong, 24th October, 1867.

POST OFFICE NOTIFICATION.

It is hereby notified for general information, that henceforward Correspondence intended to be forwarded to the United Kingdom in the mails by the French Packets, may be posted at the British Post Office at Shanghai and Yokohama, and that the same will be forwarded in closed Mails to London.

F. W. MITCHELL, Postmaster-General.

General Post Office, Hongkong, 27th November, 1867.

LETTERS, &c., ADDRESSED "LONDON" ONLY.

Many persons are in the habit of addressing Letters, &c., for well-known Firms and Individuals, to "London" only; but this practice not unfrequently occasions delay in such Letters, &c., reaching their rightful owners. In all cases, however well the Firm or Individual for whom a letter is intended may be known, it is most essential, to ensure its correct and prompt delivery, that the streets in which they reside, and the number of the house, should form a part of the address.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　F. W. MITCHELL, Postmaster-General. General Post-office, Hongkong, 31st January, 1866.

CIRCULAR.

The undersigned solicits the Bankers and Mercantile community to post all Letters, &c., as early as practicable, especially when sent in large numbers, as facility is given to the Post Office in the discharge of its duties, and greater security afforded to the public by such a course: whereas great inconvenience, and frequently, confusion, occurs, though the whole of the correspondence from many of the large Firms being sent to the Post Office at the last moment before closing the mails for Europe, by both the English and French Packets.

F. W. MITCHELL, Postmaster General.

V.-Applicants for Money Orders must furnish, in full, the surname, and, at least, the initial of one Christian name, both of the remitter and the payee; if the remitter or payee be a Peer or a Bishop, his ordinary title will be sufficient, if a firm, the usual designation of such firm, such as "Baring Brothers" will suffice, but the mere term Messrs., such as "Messrs. Rivington," or the name of a Company trading

as "Carron Co.," is inadmissive.

VI. The remitter on stating that the Order is to be paid only through a Bank, to have the option of giving or withdrawing the name of the payee, in such case, the Order will be crossed in the same way that Cheques are commonly crossed when they are intended to be paid through a Bank.

　　　　　　VII. When an Order is presented through a Bank, a receipt by any person will be sufficient, provided the Order be crossed with the name of the receiving Bank, and be presented by some person known to be in the employ of such Bank.

　　　　　　VIII. The signature of the payee of a Money Order to be affixed on the Order in the place provided for the purpose. If the payee be unable to write, he must sign the receipt by making his mark in the presence of a witness, who must sign his name with his address in the presence of the officer who pays the order.

　　　　　　IX.-Should the payee of a Money Order desire to receive payment in the country in which the Order was issued, at some other office than that in which the Order was originally drawn, the transfer will be granted, provided the Order be inclosed to the Postmaster of the office in which it was drawn. In such case a new Order will be issued, the commission chargeable upon which will be deducted from the amount of the new Order.

X.-In the event of a Money Order miscarrying or being lost, a duplicate will be granted on a written application from the payee, (containing the necessary particulars, and accompanied by an additional commission) to the office where the original Order was payable.

　　　　　　XI.-On the receipt of a similar application, orders will be given to stop payment of a Money Order, or to renew a lapsed Order. The additional commission in the last case will be deducted from the amount of the new Order.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　Lapsed Orders must be presented with the application for a new Order.

XII.--But when it is desired that any error in the name of the remitter or payee should be corrected, or that the amount of a Money Order should be repaid to the remitter, or that a lapsed Order should be renewed for payment in the country in which the Order was originally drawn, application must be made to the Chief Money Order-office of such country.

This application must be accompanied by

an additional commission, unless it have reference to a lapsed Order, in which case the commission will be deducted from the amount of the new Order.

XIII.-Repayment, whether of an original, or renewed or a duplicate Order. will not be made to the remitter, until it has been ascertained that the advice has been cancelled at the office on which the Order was originally drawn.

XIV.-Payment of an Order must be obtained before the end of the sixth calender month after that in which it was drawn; for instance, if drawn in January, payment must be obtained before the end of July, otherwise the Other will become lapsed, and a new Order (for which a second commission, to be deducted from the amount of the Order, will be charged) will become necessary.

　　　　　XV. If an Order be not paid before the end of the twelfth calendar month after that in which it was drawn,-for instance, if drawn in January, and not paid before the end of the following January-all claim to the money will be forfeited, unless, under peculiar circumstances, the Post-office of the country in which the Order was

drawn think proper to allow it.

XVI. After once paying a Money Order, by whomsoever presented, the paying

RATES OF POSTAGE.

385

office will not be liable to any further claim. If a wrong payment, however, be made, owing to negligence on the part of any officer of the Post-office, the Postmaster- General of the country or colony in which the negligence occurs will, if he see fit, require the officer in fault to make good the loss.

XVII.--No Money Order will be paid unless the advice has been previously received. XVIII.-Additional rules for greater security against fraud, and for the better working of the system generally, will be made as occasion may require.

　　　　　XIX.-Should it appear that Money Orders are used by mercantile men, or others, either in the United Kingdom or at Hongkong, Shanghai, or Yokohama, for the transmission of large sums of money, the British or Colonial Post-office, as the case may be, will consider the propriety of increasing the commission, and will exercise the power of wholly suspending for a time the issue of Money Orders.

HONGKONG & CHINA GAS COMPANY,

LIMITED.

WORKS AND GENERAL OFFICE, WEST POINT. Fitting Department, Hollywood Road, corner of Cochrane Street.

GAS SUPPLIED AT $1 PER 1,000 CUBIC FEET.

REGULATIONS OF THE COMPANY.

The Company supply Meters, which may be purchased by the Consumers, or lent to them at a monthly rental. The Meter is to be kept in good working order, and not to be unconnected without permission having first been obtained from the Office. The Meters will be examined and adjusted monthly, and the Company's Officers are to have free access at all reasonable hours to examine and inspect the same together with the fittings.

　　　　　　　Any Meter receiving damage beyond fair wear and tear, to be repaired at the expense of the Renter.

　　　　　　　The accounts will be rendered monthly and interest at the rate of 12 per cent. will be charged on all remaining overdue beyond the expiration of the month in which they are rendered.

　　　　　　The account is to be paid according to the Meter's registered quantity, as the Meter is moved by the Gas itself passing through it, and cannot indicate a greater quantity of Gas consumed, than the quantity so allowed to pass through it. As no deductions can be made, the Renters are solicited to watch the Index of the Meter weekly, or as may be convenient; the consumption of an Argand, Bat-wing, or Fish- tail Burner will not usually exceed 5 to 6 Cubic Feet per hour of its use. In the event of the Meter ceasing to register, notice thereof is to be given to the office, a new Meter will then be forwarded, and the charge made for Gas during the previous period, will be proportionate to the previous months.

　　　　　　　Renters wishing to discontinue the use of Gas, must send a written notice of that effect to the Office.

　　　　　　　In case of removal, the incoming Tenant is requested to see the Company's Receipt to the previous Tenant up to that date, or to retain the unpaid arrears in his own hands; also to give written notice to the Office of his intention to continue the Gas before he commences using it, as in the event of not doing so the new occupant will be held responsible for all accounts due by the previous tenant.

　　　　　　　The accounts are collected monthly, and the Engraved Receipt of the Company can only be recognized.

Upon breach of any of the above Regulations, the Company are at liberty, without previous notice, to discontinue the supply.

　　　　　　　If, without the Gas pass through the Meter, any person should surreptitiously procure a supply, clandestinely increase it, or supply any other person with Gas, such proceedings will subject the party to a Prosecution.

Fittings erected by the Company will be kept in a state of efficiency for 12 months from date of completion, provided that such repairs only become necessary in the course of fair wear and tear.

All letters and complaints (which must be in writing to ensure attention) to be addressed to the MANAGER, Office, West Point.

ENGLISH AND CHINESE DICTIONARY,

WITH THE

PUNTI AND MANDARIN PRONUNCIATION.

AN ANGLO-CHINESE DICTIONARY, by the Rev. W. LOBSCHEID, published at the Daily Press Office, Hongkong.

FOR

scope and practical service this Work stands unrivalled. All the new words which the Chinese have of late years been com- pelled to coin to express the numerous objects in machinery, photography, telegraphy, and in science generally, which the rapid advance of foreign relations has imposed upon them, are here given in extenso. Each and every word is fully illustrated and explained, forming exercises for students of a most instructive nature. Both the Court and Punti pronunciations are given, the accents being carefully marked on the best principle hitherto attained. The typography displays the success of an attempt to make the Chinese and English type correspond in the size of body, thereby effecting a vast economy of space, achieving a clearness not previously attained, and dispensing with those vast margins and vacant spaces which have heretofore characterized Chinese publications.

The scope of the work is so great, and its utilitarian purposes so complete, that a reference to its pages enables a person who understands English to communicate effectively with natives who understand nothing but Chinese. In this respect the work will be found indispensable to all Europeans residing in China, and to the natives themselves it explains subjects fully with which very few indeed of them are perfectly acquainted. To parties resident in England and interested in China it cannot but be invaluable occasionally.

It comprises upwards of two thousand large quarto pages.
