This is but a small portion of the contemplated expenditure; it does not include the formation of barracks, and Hospitals in Hong Kong, which (on a moderate scale) would cost about £100,000. It does not include Barracks, Stores, Forts, Arsenals, Dock Yards, Wharfs, &c. all projected, and which would cost several Millions £ before they would be completed. It is unnecessary to press this branch of the service further; sufficient has been said to shew the absurd, and ruinous projects entertained, and the utter failure of the Colony in regard to the nature and extent of its population. Notwithstanding the large sums of money expended, the Governor is now alleged to have a residence which belongs to the late Deputy Governor Mr. Johnston. The Law Offices are in a temporary building which is falling to pieces; The General Commandant has hired an Inn for his residence. There is one small barrack, in Victoria, and it is not only that which has been recently erected; it is not possible to rent a decent house under $150
