in the study of Chinese Cadets Men's Smith, Townochy, and Deane, and also chinese by the three by Messrs Round and Stolines, two Subordinate Officers of the Government.

I find that Mr Ronald had not been a Teacher receiving the allowance for a year, and that therefore he was sent up for examination through inadvertence.

The progress made by Mr. Holmes was not considered by J. Legge sufficient to justify the continuance of the allowance, which has accordingly been withdrawn. The report as to the progress of the Cadets is entirely satisfactory and there is no doubt that they will all be able to pass their final examination and qualify for Interpreterships in the course of six months.

I propose if possible carrying out J. Legge's suggestion of sending Messrs Jounochy and Deane to Canton for some months, so that they may associate exclusively with Chinese; but as regards M. C. Smith, who is the most advanced in his study of the language, I shall have to detain him here.

Acting Registrar General, that Officer having broken down and being obliged to leave for England on sick leave, as will be reported.
