Officers: A Lieutenant Colonel who would receive at home about £380, receives here in pay and Allowances £1452 - a major at home £250; here £1000 - a Captain at home £200; here £570.
The Admiral, who on average would receive about £2000 a year at home, receives here £6,000 a year with allowances in everything, except clothes and washing which is fully equivalent to £500 per annum. He rises to either chief clerk, Treasurer, or Book Keeper, in each capacity he will receive £1000 a year.
A manager of a Bank who at home would be satisfied with £2000 a year receives here £2,000 a year with a house and servants found; the subordinate officers of the Banks in the same ratio.
In Commercial Establishments - a Clerk in a Merchant's office or at the Bank of England who in London would receive £100 a year, comes out here on £300 a year, and is found with all expenses of living paid - equivalent at least to £1,300 a year; he is also allowed to trade to a moderate extent on his own accounts, and, eventually, if there be anything in him, he becomes a Partner. So that a Book Keeper or chief clerk in a merchant's Office receives nearly double the remuneration of some of the Heads of departments in the Colonial service. Take also the China Imperial Customs lately established...
