Houghing says amounted to $7,000 Dollars, on £18,125 - has not yet reached its sixth year, and the Blue-Book for 1846 shows a total population of 32,453 (exclusive of troops) of which 618 are European, while the Revenue was £37,047.
The question of Climate seems to be set at rest. I have already had to report the rapidly progressive improvement in the health of the European Troops of this garrison, in proportion as they were provided with good general accommodations, and as the drainage of the Colony advanced. The following statement exhibits at one view the extraordinary improvement since 1843.
| Year | Number |
|---|---|
| 1843 | 373 |
| 1844 | 216 |
| 1845 | 143 |
| 1846 | 56 |
The total European force by the Climate. The annual mortality was therefore not more than about 6 per cent. The Colonial Surgeon's report shows that the deaths among Civil Employ all persons in were only 1 in 30.25, or rather more than three per cent, and he concludes by saying, "It thus appears that the year 1846 has been quite as healthy, if not more so than the preceding year."
There are four educational establishments in Victoria, conducted by Europeans. One of these is under the charge of the Colonial Chaplain, and teaches the children of the inferior English population. One is for the instruction of both Europeans and Chinese in the Roman Catholic religion, and under the direction of the Propaganda Society of Italy. Two are for the exclusive education of Chinese in European Knowledge and the Protestant faith, and entirely of a Missionary character.
There are four Chinese Schools in Victoria.
