the Colonial Gaol, which was erected only for temporary use, has been attended with much practical inconvenience: but with the arrival from England of an authority to construct more suitable Prisons, the Works have been commenced. I trust their completion is not very far distant.

I have the honor to be,

With the highest respect,

Sir,

Your Most Obedient Humble Servant,

Remarks upon the present state of Native trade with this Colony.

The obstacles which our intercourse with China has to encounter, ought to be pointed out, to effect their removal.

  1. From 1839 until now, there has been piracy along the whole coast, and though the outlaws remained at times quiet, they very frequently appeared again, to strike terror in the peaceful merchant junks. This evil does not merely exist in the neighbourhood of Canton, but extends as far as Tientsin and is most fearful on the Coast of Fokien.

The principal entrances to Hongkong are through passages, where these Ruffians lie in wait, and pounce upon their victims with great Rapidity.
