native population is indispensable, how best to keep them to themselves and preserve the European and American community from the injury and inconvenience of intermixture with them. On General Grant's remarks on the unhealthiness of Hongkong, I will only say that he has named two powerful ingredients, but that both are under legal surveillance and Control, and that all representations made on the subject meet with invariable consideration from this Government.

As the police of Kowloon must be subordinate to the Civil Government of the Colony, it is clear that a purely Military occupation is impermissible, but if this objection could be got over, I should be strongly inclined to advise the setting apart of Stonecutters Island for Military.
