The mortality amongst the European Troops was 5.7 per cent, being an increase over that of 1852, when it was 3.6 per cent. The number of Deaths amongst the native Troops (Malays and natives of India) was at the rate of 5.3 per cent, being a decrease of nearly 50 per cent on the Mortality during 1852, when it amounted to 10.02 per cent.

7. Education

No remarkable change has taken place in the number of the local schools, and as to the progress of the Native ones receiving Government aid, I would refer your Excellency to the annexed Report of the Education Committee entering fully into the subject.

8. Trade

The information under this head, from the unwillingness of the parties Concerned to afford it (Hong Kong being a Free Port), may still be held to be as defective as in former years; but from the Acting Harbour Master's Returns annexed to the Blue Book, it will be perceived that 1103 square-rigged vessels, carrying altogether 447,000 tons, arrived in Victoria Harbour during the year 1853; of these Vessels, 201 imported, and 1574 exported goods.
