Acknowledgment of the Colonial Chaplain, the Consular Chaplains at Canton, Shanghai, and Foochow, and the local Missionary or Acting Warden of St. Paul's College, may be mentioned;
(4). Of the above-named, the Colonial Chaplain is appointed by Her Majesty's Government and draws his salary from the Colony. The Consular Chaplains, appointed by the Foreign Office, draw their salaries (as I am informed) half from the Imperial Treasury and half from local subscription, whilst the local Missionary is appointed and salaried by the Church Missionary Society.
(d) The Churches in this Colony under the Bishop are two in number, the Cathedral Church of St. John and St. Stephen's Native Missionary Chapel in Victoria West. The property of the former is vested in six Trustees, of whom four are annually appointed by the Colonial Government, and 2 elected by the seat-holders, in terms of Ordinance No. 2 of 1847.
The four nominated by Government are usually Government Officers, and the two elected are Merchants resident in this city. At present the list stands as follows:
Honorable John Dent, M.L.C.; Wilberforce Wilson, Esquire; Cecil Smith, Esquire, Registrar General; Norman R. Mason, Esquire, Acting Auditor General;
