and the Governor of Hong-Kong for that object. The application was favourably received; and letters of recommendation to the Governor of Hong-Kong were given him, in consequence of which the site was ceded to the Mission free from all liabilities, on which it was built by public subscription. It has been supported by voluntary contributions, and numbers 60 inmates, and has already shown abundantly good results since the death of the former superior, the Rev. Louis Ambrose, which took place in March 1867.
The Mission has been in exceptional pecuniary difficulties, owing to the debts incurred in building boys and girls schools (capable of holding 500 Europeans and Chinese of different religions), in which education is given to the poor; and also in founding and maintaining Orphanages and Refuges for young Children, directed by the Sisters of Charity of the same Order in Hong-Kong.
The present superior of this Mission and his colleagues again appeal to the generosity of the Colonials to obtain kind and effectual assistance for their Institutions from the benevolence of the present Governor of Hong-Kong, who has already shown himself disposed to give them his encouragement and moral support; so that they may be enabled to obtain from him some help in carrying on their work of benevolence to humanity and to the social and moral welfare of the Colony.
Such would be exemption from taxes (amounting to $800 a year) of the houses belonging to the Mission, and the granting to the schools pecuniary assistance on the same conditions as is given in England.
