The daily average number of prisoners confined in Victoria Gaol during 1876 when Sir Arthur Kennedy was at the head of the Administration, was 532, or two more than the number given by Mr Hennessy as being in the Gaol at the present time, and 42 less than the number given by His Excellency as being in the Gaol in November 1876, Mr Nelson, & Visiting Justice of the Peace, stated, at the recent publio meet ing, that he had noticed “the other day" the number of prisoners had gone up from 342 to 545 or 646, and that he had remarked on this in a book kept at the Gaol for the purpose, and suggested that some action should be taken to enquire how it all came about."

the many virtues of His Excellencz, or to any decrease in crime, but to the inefficiency of the Police Force, in failing to apprehend offenders.
One of the reasons given by His Ex.. cellency on Monday why crime might be expected to Increase here was the continued cheap fares from Hongkong, We have always rogarded, this as a well. founded reason for a certain increase of crime in the Colony, Sir Arthur Kennedy, and the members of the Legislative Council, held the same view, It is only lately, however, that. Mr Hennessy appears to have looked at the matter in a similar light, for one of His Excellency's argutente,. in prov ing, on his arrival, the deplorable state of crime into which this Colony had fallen, was that the cheap fares on the Canton steamere could not be held at countable for the increase. Speaking at the Legislative Council on the 17th September last year, Mr Hennessy said i "The increase of serious crimes in 1876- cannot be explained by the reduction of fares on the Canton river steamers in the

It seems reasonable enough to believe that if the influx of criminals into this Colony HONGKONG, WEDNESDAY, NOV. 13, 1878. be encouraged by cheap fares, and ban. dreds more of Chinese of all classes do consequently arrive here weekly, orimé must became more rife here, although these statistics would lead one to believe that the increased arrival of loafers, thieves, and the other classes found in a Chinese crowd, tend to decrease crime.
THE CHINA MAIL.
THE second speech of His Excellency the Governor at the meeting of the Le- glalative Council on Monday was no doubt intended to be a sort of indirect reply to the charges made against the present Administration at the public gathering on the 7th of last month. His Excellency's points, although ap parently made in a very off hand and incidental manner, were introduced with We understand that the steamer Kinshan remarkable adroitness. "Remembering
