the sale of this land as suggested, for if necessary a Battery can be erected here, which will meet all the requirements of the Ordnance officers.

12. As regards Crime I learn from the Superintendent of Police that this has not, as might have been expected, increased in proportion with the augmented population. Still there is an increase as shown in the Police Returns, and a heavy expenditure is incurred on this account.

I am not aware of any further points demanding particular remark, but am convinced that a careful perusal of this Book will induce considerable surprise and satisfaction at the progress made by Hongkong in 1854, and I am glad to be able to state that this progress does not to the present moment show any sign of relapse.

I have the honor to be,
Sir
Your most obedient Servant
Colonial Secretary.
