are for the education of the children of European Police others. Mr. Stanton is now erecting a school, by the aid of funds supplied in England, for bringing up young Chinese in the principles of Christianity, among the Chinese population.
As nation are generally, a number of individuals of that nation are employed in Hongkong giving the first elements of instruction to the male children of the inhabitants; for females are always kept at home. In the Despatch already quoted above, I have suggested that a Government contribution might have a favorable influence on the feeling of the population.
Under the head of General Trade, I may state that two foreign Consuls, American and Danish, have hoisted their flags at Hongkong; the first having already obtained his Exequatur from Her Majesty. It seems to me in every respect desirable to encourage the resort of all kinds of Trade to this Port, and I shall have great satisfaction in reporting that the Consuls of other foreign States have applied for leave to act.
In spite of the discouragements afforded by the Supplementary Treaty, the Chinese Trade appears to be rather on the increase, and I have the honor to append a Paper by Mr. Gutzlaff on that interesting subject.
The total absence of a Custom House, affording the regular and exact returns connected with such an Establishment, while it encourages trade by holding out the advantages of a Free Port, at the same time renders it impossible to give a very accurate statement.
