The number ofwemon and girls detained der ing the your under Part II of Ordinance 11 of 1890 was 241 This is a large increase on the number detained in the previous year. The au Lur of girls under the protootien of the olien un- dor Lotion 19 of the Ordinansa is 37. 67 women, and girls were reported to the l'o Lena Mt. L.

The following is the, estimate of the number of the population of the Colony for the 30th JuneBritish and Foreign community, 12,703 Chinese, 226,710; total 29,419 It is based on the preliminary returns of B casus which was taken on the night, of the 20th January, 1827. An estimate based on the inorusso al the population rinse the year 1857 is evidently not to be depended upon. Oza Band on the unmber of entrels slaughterad for food during the year, dne regard,boiug paid to the price, might lead to a foldzer approximation to the truth. According to this method the population at the end of last year was estimated at 235,000

The subjects which have probably attracted greatest attention among the Chinese daring the last year are the Light and Pass system, and the enquiry into the Tang Way Hospital..
With regard to the Light and Pass syskan, a strong objection seems to exist among many Chinese residents to norrying a light at night
