Pilots. \n\nWHENEVER a British merchantman shall arrive off any of the five ports opened to trade, viz., Canton, Foochowfoo, Amoy, Ningpo, or Shanghai, pilots shall be allowed to take her immediately into port; and, in like manner, when such British ship shall have settled all legal duties and charges, and is about to return home, pilots shall be immediately granted to take her out to sea, without any stoppage or delay. \n\nRegarding the remuneration to be given these pilots, that will be equitably settled by the British Consul appointed to each particular port, who will determine it with due reference to the distance gone over, the risk run, &c. \n\nII. Custom-house Guards. \n\nThe Chinese Superintendent of Customs at each port will adopt the means that he may judge most proper to prevent the revenue suffering by fraud or smuggling. Whenever the pilot shall have brought any British merchantman into port, the Superintendent of Customs will depute one or two trusty Custom-house officers, whose duty it will be to watch against frauds on the revenue. These will either live in a boat of their own, or stay on board the English ship, as may best suit their convenience. Their food and expenses will be supplied them from day to day from the Custom-house, and they may not exact any fees whatever from either the Commander or Consignee. Should they violate this regulation, they shall be punished porportionately to the amount so exacted. \n\nIII. Musters of Ships reporting themselves on arrival, \n\nWhenever a British vessel shall have cast anchor at any one of the above-mentioned ports, the Captain will, within four and twenty hours after arrival, proceed to the British Consulate, and deposit his ship's papers, bills of lading, manifest, &c., in the hands of the Consul; failing to do which, he will subject himself to a penalty of two hundred dollars. \n\nFor presenting a false manifest, the penalty will be five hundred dollars. \n\nFor breaking bulk and commencing to discharge, before due per- mission shall be obtained, the penalty will be five hundred dollars, and confiscation of the goods so discharged. \n\nThe Consul, having taken possession of the ship's papers, will imme- diately send a written communication to the Superintendent of Customs, specifying the register tonnage of the ship, and the particulars of the cargo she has on board; all of which being done in due form, permission will then be given to discharge, and the duties levied as provided for in the Tariff, \n\nIV. Commercial Dealings between English and Chinese Merchants. \n\nIt having been stipulated that English merchants may trade with whatever native merchants they please,--should any Chinese merchant fraudulently abscond or incur debts which he is unable to discharge, the Chinese authorities, upon complaint being made thereof, will of course do their utmost to bring the offender to justice; it must, however, be distinctly understood, that if the defaulter really cannot be found, or be dead, or bankrupt, and there be not wherewithal to pay, the English merchants may not appeal to the former custom of the Hong Merchants paying for one another, and can no longer expect to have their losses made good to them. \n\nV. Tonnage Dues. \n\nEvery English merchantman, on entering any one of the above-men- tioned five ports, shall pay tonnage-dues at the rate of five mace per register-ton, in full of all charges. The fees formerly levied on entry and departure, of every description, are henceforth abolished. \n\nVI. Import and Export Duties. \n\nGoods, whether imported into, or exported from, any one of the above-mentioned five ports, are henceforward to be taxed according to the Tariff as now fixed and agreed upon, and no further sums are to be levied beyond those which are specified in the Tariff; all duties incurred by an English merchant-vessel, whether on goods imported or exported, or in the shape of tonnage-dues, must first be paid up in full; which done, the Superintendent of Customs will grant a port-clearance, and this being shown to the British Consul, he will thereupon return the ship's papers, and permit the vessel to depart. \n\nVII. Examination of Goods at the Custom-house. \n\nEvery English merchant, having cargo to load or discharge, must give due intimation thereof, and hand particulars of the same to the Consul, who will immediately dispatch a recognized linguist of his own establishment to communicate the particulars to the Superintendent of Customs, that the goods may be duly examined, and neither party sub- jected to loss. The English merchant must also have a properly qualified person on the spot to attend to his interests when his goods are being examined for duty, otherwise, should there be complaints, these cannot be attended to. \n\nRegarding such goods as are subject by the Tariff to an ad valorem duty, if the English merchant cannot agree with the Chinese officer in fixing a value, then each party shall call two or three merchants to look at the goods, and the highest price at which any of these merchants would be willing to purchase, shall be assumed as the value of the goods. \n\nTo fix the tare on any article, such as tea; if the English merchant cannot agree with the Custom-house officer, then each party shall choose so many chests out of every hundred, which being first weighed in gross, shall afterwards be tared, and the average tare upon these chests shall be assumed as the tare upon the whole; and upon this principle shall the tare be fixed upon all other goods in packages. \n\nIf there should still be any disputed points which cannot be settled, the English merchant may appeal to the Consul, who will communicate the particulars of the case to the Superintendent of Customs, that it may be equitably arranged. But the appeal must be made on the same day, or it will not be regarded. While such points are still open, the Super- \n\nC 2 \n\n",

        "content_text": "Encl. in No. 24. \n\nCORRESPONDENCE RELATIVE TO \n\nis also enclosed, informing his Lordship of the arrangements made in India for reinforcing the army in China, and directing him how to regulate his proceedings, in the event of his not receiving instructions from the Commander-in-Chief in China. \n\nWith reference to your letter to the President of the Board of Control, of date the 3d of January, I have the honour to state, that all particulars regarding the supply of provisions to be forwarded from England, for the use of the expedition in China, were sent from hence to the Secret Committee by the mail of January. I presume that the copy of the document containing these particulars has been communicated to Her Majesty's Government. \n\nEnclosure in No. 24. \n\nI have, &c. (signed) \n\nEllenborough. \n\nCOPY of a LETTER from Lord Ellenborough to Lieut.-general Sir Hugh Gough, c.C.B. \n\nSir, \n\nFort William, Government House, 6 March 1842. I HAVE the honour to inform your Excellency that I arrived here on the 28th ultimo, and immediately took upon myself the office of Governor-general of India. \n\n2. I collect from your Excellency's letter of the 24th November 1841, to the Earl of Auckland, my predecessor, that on that day your Excellency calculated that of the European infantry, then under your orders, your Excellency would have disposal for operations to the northward early in the spring: * \n\nOf the 18th Royal Irish \n\nditto \n\n26th Cameronians 49th 55th ditto \n\n1,025 \n\n3,145 \n\n3. The reinforcements which will arrive at Singapore about the middle of April will consist of, I believe, nearly 800 recruits, for the 18th, 26th, 49th and 55th regiments, and of the 98th regiment, which will be about 700 strong. \n\n4. It may be assumed, therefore, that your Excellency will have at your disposal for the campaign of this year, an effective force of 4,500 European infantry. \n\n5. Her Majesty's ships of war will be able, I conclude, to furnish a battalion of at least 500 seamen, and another battalion of 500 marines. \n\n6. Your Excellency will be thus enabled to raise the European force of infantry at your disposal to 5,500 men. \n\n7. Measures have already been taken for sending from India to Singapore, where they will arrive about the middle or end of April, the 2d, 6th and 41st regiments of Madras Native Infantry, and a strong regiment of volunteers from Bengal. Of these measures, your Excellency is already apprized. \n\n8. Orders have now been given to sending likewise to Singapore, and thence to China, the 14th Madras Native Infantry, at present at Moulmein, and for sending on from the Straits to China, the 39th regiment of Madras Native Infantry. \n\n9. These several measures will place at your Excellency's disposal six complete regiments \n\nof native infantry, comprising an effectual force of 5,100 men. \n\n10. I understand that your Excellency will likewise have furnished to you, as a reinforce- ment from Ceylon, two companies, or 200 men, of the Ceylon (Malay) regiment. \n\n11. Your native infantry will thus amount to 5,300 men, and your total force of infantry to 10,800 men. \n\n12. The force of European artillery at your Excellency's disposal consists-First, of about 30 men of the royal artillery, who will be reinforced by 100 men of the same corps, who will arrive at Singapore in April, with the recruits for the Queen's regiments in China and the 98th regiment. \n\nSecondly, of a detachment of the Madras European artillery, stated in the distribution return of the troops of that Presidency, dated the 1st January 1842, to amount to 176 men ; and, \n\nThirdly, of sappers and miners, belonging to the same Presidency, stated in the same distribution return to amount to 247 men, who will be reinforced by 200 men of the same army. \n\n13. From \n\nMILITARY OPERATIONS IN CHINA. \n\n13. From Madras your Excellency will likewise receive a troop of horse-artillery, 100 strong, with 30 horses (four for each gun and six spare), a troop of foot-artillery of the same strength, and 500 gun Lascars. \n\n14. The force of European artillery, under your Excellency's orders, will therefore consist of 450 effective men, and the force of native sappers and miners of about 350 men, \n\n15. As your Excellency has already a small force of gun Lascars (57 men in the Madras distribution return above referred to), I trust that you will, when reinforced from Madras to the extent I have mentioned, have 500 gun Lascars effective. \n\n16. Your Excellency has been already informed of the quantity of guns and ammunition \n\nto be sent with the royal artillery to Singapore. For the facility of reference, however, \n\nI annex (No. --) to this letter a statement of the guns and ammunition to be so sent; and Not received at the likewise of the guns and ammunition to be transmitted from hence, and from Madras. \n\n17. I further annex to this letter (No. 1.) a statement of the naval force destined by Her Majesty for the services in the China and Eastern seas during this year, and of the steamers (No. 2.) belonging to this Government, which will be at the disposal of the Naval Commander-in-Chief. \n\n18. Great care has been taken in the selection and fitting up of the transports. Ample space has been given to the men to be embarked; their comfort as well as their health has been provided for; and the endeavour has been made, not however with all the success I should have desired, to obtain a considerable proportion of Europeans among the crews. \n\n19. The memorandums annexed (Nos. 4 and -) will show your Excellency and his Excellency the Naval Commander-in-Chief, what has been hitherto done towards making a provision of coals, of medical stores and hospital necessaries, and of articles of comfort and convenience for the men. \n\n20. The memorandum (No. 5.) will show your Excellency what has been done for pro- visioning the force. These measures may be considered as securing a supply of provisions for the European and native troops till April 1843. \n\n21. On referring to your Excellency's letter, above adverted to, of the 24th November 1841, I observe that your Excellency then calculated on retaining the 37th Madras Native Infantry, and the two companies of Bengal Volunteers, then under your orders. Your Excellency has since received instructions to send back those troops to their respective presidencies. I therefore omitted them from the enumeration of the force, to be at your disposal for this year. I have likewise omitted the Rifle company of the 36th Madras Native Infantry, which it is likewise requested that your Excellency will send back to Madras, \n\n22. It is of essential importance that native troops employed so far beyond sea should be regularly and frequently relieved. \n\n23. It appears by the same letter that your Excellency, in the event of your removing to the northward early in the season, proposed to leave garrisons at the several points of Hong- Kong, Kulungsu, Chusan and Chinghae. The total force of which would amount to \n\nEuropean Infantry \n\nArtillery \n\nNative Artillery \n\nSappers and Miners Native Infantry \n\n1,100 \n\n1,078 \n\n2,343 \n\n24. Should your Excellency, and his Excellency the Naval Commander-in-Chief, deem it expedient to continue to occupy all these four points on the coast of China, still, after deducting this amount of forec stated to be required for their occupation from that above enumerated, there will remain for operations of an active character \n\nEuropean Infantry \n\nSeainen \n\nMarines \n\nM \n\nNative Infantry \n\nEuropean Artillery - \n\nNative Artillery and Sappers \n\nGun Lascars \n\n3,400 \n\n4,224 \n\n9,759 \n\n25. It is the instruction of Her Majesty's Government, that this force shall be employed on the river Yang-tse-kiang, and that your Excellency should possess yourself of the island of \n\n596. \n\nE \n\nKin-shan, \n\nColonial Office. \n\n: \n\nJ",

When I came into the room he was sitting in one of the chairs with his bead hanging over the fuck of the chair. I supported hun in my arms and spoken to him, but received no answer, his lips moved as if to spek but he could not do on, and his pulse was scar- cely perceptible, I called up a servant and he took hold of hie zal i went and fetched a Doctor. The deceased did not recognise one when I came up. \n\nAr J W. Beaned, Re-examined, A day or two before the deceased went to the Hos. pitul he complained to me of sickness and a pain in Jus heal. I administered to him an Emnetic which gave him considerable relief: the eruption afterwards appearing on his body, I advised him to go to the os pital. \n\nJamce Satchell, Surgeon, Sworn-The deceased was in the Hospital under my charge from the seventh to the eleventh instant.

I consider the immediate enese of death to have ben the pressure of a very considerable \n\nquantity of serum found at the case of the brain, on that órgin (in other words) that it was a rese of serious upo, lexy. He must have enjoyed very irregular health Prom the state of the liver. \n\nf \n\n(Signed) \n\nCHARLES ALEXANDER WINCHESTER, \n\nActing Colonial Surgeon.

        "content_text": "REPLY OF THE IMPERIAL COMMISSIONER. \n\nKeying of the Imperial Family, High Commissioner, Guardian of the Heir Apparent, Viceroy of the Two Kwang provinces, &c., &c., hereby sends this official reply. \n\nThe Honorable English Consul having officially stated to me, that the American merchant Coolidge bad sent in a petition to be transmitted through him, (the Consul) of which the following is a copy (here follows a copy of Mr. Coolidge's petition); and this coming before me, it behoves me now to give the following reply: \n\nThe now Regulations for commercial intercourse just agreed upon and settled, clearly state, \"That the \"Hong Merchants are to be done away with, and that henceforward the English merchants are to be allowed \"to deal with whatever native merchants they please; there will be no occasion for officers of Government \"to interfere in the matter;\" or words to that effect, which places the present commercial intercourse on a very different footing from what it was previously, when government merchants carried on the trade in beloof of the foreign merchants of all nations. As regards the question of renting hongs and go-downs, the Plenipotentiary of your honorable nation already communicated with us officially upon that subject, and we gave an official reply, commanding the ci-devant Hong Merchants to rent such hongs or go-downs at just and fair prices, (both parties being agreed thereon), as is recorded. \n\nBut now the said merchant Coolidge having set forth in his petition the various difficulties of his position, and his inability to extricate himself, if I, the said High Commissioner, were to abide by the strict letter of the Regulations and do nothing for him, it would not be acting upon a proper principle of kindness; and yet the Hong Merchants being abolished, these people are not now under the same constraint that they were when government merchants; if they like, or do not like, to buy or sell-if they choose, or do not choose, to rent their hongs and go-downs, it depends entirely upon their own will and pleasure; they are exactly in the same position as English merchants who may, or may not, trade with whom they please. \n\nIf we were to use any compulsion in the matter, not only would that be contrary to every principle of reason and justice, but it would no less be attended with great inconveniences; it would set the Chinese merchants and English merchants at variance, and would throw infinitely more difficulties in the way of your commerce. Therefore, the utmost we can do under present circumstances, is to depute a special officer to call upon the late Hong Merchants, and admonish them on the subject; and farther we shall issue a Pro- clamation showing both the late Hong Merchants and the new free-trading merchants that they should on one and the same principle, proceed to do business, hoping thereby to widen the door of communication. \n\nForasmuch I, the Imperial Commissioner, now reply to the Honorable Consul, that he may act in con- formity, and at the same time impress upon the English merchants that the principle of trading depends entirely upon a mutual willingness; if a field of profit is to be reaped there is no occasion to beg people to go to reap it, they will certainly reap it of their own accord. The English merchants and others must carry on their business with our native merchants in a spirit, and according to a sense, of justice, laying their plans for a long continuance of beneficial intercourse, and thus it is to be hoped that day by day the aspect of affairs may brighten, and all kinds of goods expand in their cousumption. Although I have no means of looking after such matters in behalf of the foreign merchants, yet I, the Imperial Commissioner, do really day and night, indulge in the fervent hope of an improved commercial intercourse, beneficial to all parties. An important official reply. \n\nTo Mr. Lay, H. B. M.'s Consul at Canton. \n\nTaoukwang, 23d year, 7th intercalary moon, 22d day. (September, 15th 1843). \n\ntion of such sweeping innovations and changes in the commerce of any country, and more especially in one like China--which has not, from causes which it is needless to dilate upon, kept pace in advancement with the other nations of the earth-must be attended with unforeseen difficulties and trouble, must call for the exercise of great patience and forbearance on both sides, and amongst all parties, and must only be expected to come into full and beneficial operation when the government of China shall find, from actual experience, that the new system is better, more simple, and more profitable to the revenue than the one it has superseded. I am therefore prepared to expect delays and causes for reference at the outset of your duties at Canton, but I rely on your meeting those drawbacks with calmness and firmness, and not allowing any interested persons, whether English or Chinese subjects, to bias your proceedings, or dictate, or even advise you as to what you should do.\" \n\n(True extract.) \n\nRICHARD WOOSNAM. \n\n(True Copy) \n\n(A true translation,) (Signed) RICHARD WOOSNAM. \n\nROBERT THOM. \n\nEXTRACT. \n\n\"The General Regulations for Trade and the Tariff appear to me to combine all the advantages of conciseness and perspicuity, with provision for every possible contingency that can arise in the common course of trade; and I confidently trust that in due season, their practical application will realize the hopes I have formed of them.

His Grace the Duke of Wellington who, having presented a petition praying to be heard by counsel against the Bill, which prayer was refused, protested against the passing of the Bill, to which protest your Memorialists respectfully crave permission to refer. \n\nyou \n\n2nd. By Sir Robert Peel, who, in his speech on the Bill, observed, \"In the West Indies after abolish the necessity of labour from coercion, you cannot substitute the stimulus to labour from the necessity of procuring subsistence. The labour of a few days is all that is necessary in those countries to procure, not merely the articles of subsistence, but also the articles of luxury. The evidence is conclusive, that so fertile is the land in most of the West Indian islands, that a slave by a very small portion of corporeal exertion indeed can obtain all that is sufficient to maintain existence.\" Your colonies may become wildernesses, but the demand for sugar will continue, and it will be supplied from the colonies of other states; and either those colonies must import fresh slaves, or those they have already must labour still more severely to supply your demand.\" \n\nSo far from any effectual means of procuring a supply of labour in the place of that of which the emancipation deprived the West Indians having been adopted, restrictions have since been actually imposed upon the introduction of labourers from the Indian seas which did not exist at the time when the Act was passed; and thus the sources from which ample supplies of labour could be drawn have been stopped, notwithstanding the urgent and repeated remonstrances of the West Indians, while they have been opened to the Mauritius, a country in no respect more favourable to the labourer. \n\nThe only means that can be relied upon at present for the supply of labour to the West Indies is the small proportion of Africans who are each year captured in slave ships. \n\nThis being the season at which supplies are usually sent to the West Indies, and preparations made for the repairs of buildings, and other necessary expenses, it is of the utmost importance that your Memorialists should know whether Her Majesty's Government will permit free emi- gration of labourers from all parts of the world or not, as if there is no hope of eventually restoring the prosperity of the colonies the universal decision will be, not to go to further expense in continuing a cultivation that \n\nyear after year entails a loss, \n\nYour Memorialists respectfully submit the following considerations to your Lordship: \n\nThat the advantage to immigrate to the West Indies is amply shown by the very favour- \n\nable result of the introduction of Coolies into British Guiana, \n\nThat it is unjust towards those who would willingly carry their labour to the best market, to prevent their doing so, as well as towards the proprietor of land, who would willingly pay for the introduction of labourers; and that the refusal to permit the replacing by free labour of the labour which was annihilated by the Emancipation Act is calculated, by completing the failure of that Act in the result contemplated by its promoters, to cause it to be considered a beacon of warning to be shunned by other nations. instead of a glorious example to be followed by them. \n\nYour Memorialists therefore respectfully entreat that your Lordship will be pleased to take the case into serious consideration, with a view to the removal of all restrictions upon the undoubted right of every free man to carry his labour to the best market, and to permit the free import of labourers from all parts of the world into the West Indies, under such regulations as may appear to your Lordship to be best calculated to prevent abuses. \n\nFor CHARLES S. PARKER, \n\nChairman of the West Indian Association. W. R. SANDBACH. \n\nLiverpool, 9th August, 1843. \n\nNo. 8. \n\nCopy of a LETTER from G. W. HOPE, Esq., to W. R. SANDBACH, Esq. Sir, \n\nDowning-street, September 5, 1843. \n\nI AM directed by Lord Stanley to acknowledge the receipt of the Petition of the Associated Body of West India Planters and Merchants of Liverpool, signed by you on behalf of Mr. Parker, the chairman of the Association, praying the removal of all restrictions upon the introduction of labourers into the West Indian colonies. \n\nCHINESE LABOURERS TO THE WEST INDIES. \n\nLord Stanley desires me to express his regret that he cannot feel himself justified in complying with this request, however anxious he may be to afford every practi- cable facility to the introduction of labour into the West Indies. As the best means, however, of explaining his Lordship's views on this subject, I am to transmit to you the copy of a letter addressed by his directions to Mr. Malcolm, as representing the West Indian body in London, in reply to applications and specific proposals from them on the subject of immigration into those colonies. \n\nI have, &c. W. R. Sandbach, Esq., Liverpool. \n\nNo. 9. \n\n(Signed) \n\nG. W. HOPE. \n\nCOPY of a LETTER from CHARLES I. PARKER, Esq., to G. W. HOPE, Esq. \n\nLiverpool, September 6, 1843. \n\nSir, \n\nI HAVE the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 5th instant, addressed to Mr. W. R. Sandbach, which, with its enclosure, I have this day laid before a meeting of the West India Association, specially convened to con- sider the measure to which these documents relate. \n\nI am instructed to request you to convey to Lord Stanley the best thanks of the meeting, as well for the prompt and explicit communication with which he has honoured the West India Body, as for the proposed measure of Chinese immigra- tion, the importance of which they duly appreciate, as the only relief which Her Majesty's Government find themselves at present in a position to grant in answer to the prayer of their petition. \n\nG. W. Hope, Esq. \n\n&c. \n\nMy Lord, \n\n&c. \n\nI have, &c. \n\n(Signed) CHARLES I. PARKER, \n\nChairman of the Liverpool West India Association. \n\nNo. 10. \n\nCOPY of a LETTER from W. BURGE, Esq., to Lord STANLEY, \n\nPaper Buildings, Temple, September 14, 1843. I HAVE the honour to acknowledge the receipt of a copy of the letter of the 4th inst., which Mr. Hope, by your Lordship's direction, addressed to Mr. Malcolm relative to the introduction of Chinese labourers into the West India colonies. I shall lose no time in transmitting it to my constituents. \n\nIt would be a subject of great regret to me if any observations made either at the conference or in the written communications to which Mr. Hope refers led your Lordship to doubt that the West India Body were fully sensible of those difficulties with which emigration had to contend, and the anxious and unceasing attention which your Lordship has directed to the removal of such restrictions as were not required by the existence of those difficulties. I should not adequately express my sense of the views entertained by your Lordship on this important subject, and the measures already adopted to carry them into effect, if I did not disclaim any participation in them. \n\nI should have postponed addressing your Lordship on the details of the plan proposed in Mr. Hope's letter until I had heard from my constituents, if I were not aware that a communication will be made to your Lordship on the part of the West India Body here for a material deviation from one of your Lordship's important suggestions. Your Lordship is of opinion that parties claiming bounty should show that the amount decided upon as the maximum or rate had at least been expended, and that they should not be entitled to make any pecuniary profit on the introduction of these labourers. Concurring entirely in the considerations on which your Lordship's opinion proceeded, and being satisfied from my own experience, and that of others, that the parties could have no difficulty in supplying themselves with the requisite proof, I felt myself bound to express my dissent from that part of the communication which urges that no such proof should be required. It is obvious, however, that one uniform rule must be adopted for all the colonies, because if such proof were required on the introduction of labourers into Jamaica, and not upon the introduction of them into the other colonies; the effect of this distinction would operate as a bonus for the introduction of them into those colonies, and as a discouragement of the introduction of them into Jamaica. \n\n2 M \n\nI \n\nCHINESE LABOURERS. \n\nPage 249. \n\nNo. 9. \n\nNo. 10. \n\n",

Secoudly. I purposely abstain from entering on the discussion, whether at a future period the claim to bounty should cease to be restricted, as at present pro- posed by your Lordship, to those interested in the West Indian colonies, and who have made special application to the Secretary of State for permission to introduce these labourers. \n\nThe discussion is not only now premature, but must be conducted much less advantageously than at a future period, when it will be assisted by the experience of the working of the present plan. But my principal objection to it is, that this subject belongs more especially to the consideration of the Colonial Legislature. If your Lordship's restriction should be withdrawn, the Colonial Legislature must pledge the colony to defray the expense of immigration to an unlimited extent. If the colony limits the amount applicable to the expenses of immigration, there is the risk that persons may import Chinese labourers on the faith of receiving a bounty, but on their arrival find that the whole sum appropriated by the Legislature has been exhausted by the number who had previously imported. Neither of these evils can arise, if the bounty can be claimed by those only who have obtained the permission of the Secretary of State. \n\nI have stated these objections to the few gentlemen who were present when the communication to your Lordship was the subject of discussion. \n\nOf that number \n\none gentleman only had any interest in Jamaica, which was united, however, with a greater interest in British Guiana. \n\nThere is another point which well deserves consideration by those in the colony who may be enabled to make the provision, if it be practicable, I allude to the possibility of subjecting the party receiving the labourer on his abandonment of his original contract with the importer, to the reimbursement to the colony of some portion of the bounty which the colony has paid the first importer. But that could only be reached by some legislative provision, if it obtained your Lordship's \n\nsanction. \n\nYour Lordship will, I believe, shortly receive an application from Mr. Malcolm for permission to introduce Chinese labourers into Jamaica. \n\nI have, &c. \n\nThe Right Hon.

Sir, \n\nDowning-street, October 3, 1843. \n\nI AM directed by Lord Stanley to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 14th ult., relative to the communication addressed by Mr. Hope on the 4th ult., to Mr. Neill Malcolm, respecting the introduction of Chinese labourers into the British West India Colonies. \n\nThe points on which you are desirous of receiving further information, or with respect to which you seek for a modification of the scheme, as laid down in the letter referred to, appear to be the following:- \n\n1. As regards the mode of fixing the bounty-On this point you dissent from the West India Body, who are desirous that a fixed and uniform rate of bounty should be substituted for the existing arrangement, which fixes a maximum payment subject to the production of their accounts by the parties claiming it. Lord Stanley is, however, inclined to think, on a full consideration of the conflicting opinions and arguments on this subject, that if sufficient information can be obtained to enable Her Majesty's Government to fix upon a proper rate of bounty, there would be no objection to a modification of the rule in this respect. His Lordship pro- poses communicating with the Colonial Land and Emigration Commissioners on the subject. \n\n2. As to the persons who should be permitted to take advantage of the bounty. -The question of extending this permission is one which his Lordship agrees with you, must be reserved for future consideration. Lord Stanley adheres at present to the restriction which limits the conduct of the emigration to those who shall have made special application to the Secretary of State. \n\n3. With respect to your suggestion that the party who receives the labourer after \n\nCHINESE LABOURERS TO THE WEST INDIES. \n\nthe abandonment of his original contract with the importer, should be rendered liable to the colony for the reimbursement of some portion of the bounty paid to the first importer, Lord Stanley desires me to state that he fears this would not admit of being successfully carried out in practice, and that he thinks it will be the best course, on the whole, that the colony should pay for those immigrants whose services are open to general competition. \n\n4, Although the question of contracts is not referred to specifically in your letter, I am to acquaint you that Lord Stanley has intimated to the West India Body, in answer to an application on the subject, that his Lordship has no objection to make the contract with the Chinese labourer binding for six months; but the importer must at the end of each period be entitled to a proportionally diminished rate of bounty. For instance, he will be entitled to claim four-fifths, but not the whole, at the end of the first period, and so on, with a proportionate reduction of one-fifth for each succeeding period of six months. \n\nI have, &c. \n\nJAMES STEPHEN. \n\nW.

HOPE, Esq. \n\nColonial Land and Emigration Office, September 8, 1843. \n\nIn reference to your Letter of the 11th ultimo, acquainting us with the pro- posal to effect an immigration of Chinese into the West Indies, we have the honour to report that we communicated personally on the subject with Mr. Matheson, M.P. for Ashburton, and another gentleman well acquainted with China, and endeavoured to learn such particulars as might be useful in considering this question, and in maturing any future plans upon the subject. We have also the honour to state that at the suggestion of Mr. Matheson, as well as of some of the gentlemen inter- ested on behalf of the West Indies, we addressed some enquiries to Mr. Crawfurd, who is peculiarly qualified to speak to the habits of the population frequenting the China seas. \n\nWe now beg leave to enclose a copy of our queries, and of a paper with which Mr. Crawfurd has been so good as to furnish us in answer, containing a large amount of information on the subject to which his attention was thus requested. We presume that copies of this paper will be supplied to the gentlemen interested in the West Indies, with whom the question originated. \n\nBut having obtained and furnished this information, we propose to abstain from entering into the details of any scheme for carrying on the proposed emigration of Chinese labourers from the Straits of Malacca; for this part of the subject having been under constant discussion at the Colonial Department, and being now nearly advanced to a conclusion, we apprehend that any detached suggestions here would be superfluous, and could only complicate the question. \n\nG.

Is it likely that agricultural labourers could be picked up among the Chinese emigrants, \n\nor does a large proportion of them consist of artizans and small bucksters? \n\n2.

What may be the risk that the Chinese would not be persuaded to work kindly with \n\nnegroes? \n\n4. Women not being exported from China, besides the expense if they were, what weight should be attached to the fear that Chinese labourers would grow dissatisfied when they find themselves in a country where there are no women, either Chinese or Malay, but only those of African race? \n\n5. Might it be expected that they would understand and practically carry out in the sequel an agreement for a fair stoppage of wages to repay the planters the cost of their passage? \n\n6. Would they be likely to stipulate for back passage, which must entail a corresponding abatement of wages, or prefer saving the means of it out of their own earnings? \n\n2 M 2 \n\nCHINESE LABOURERS. \n\nNo. 12. \n\nEnel. 1 in No. 12. \n\n",

After the most deferential consideration of this opinion, the West India body do not see reason to entertain any doubt upon either of these points, if free intercourse were permitted. Agreeing with your Lordship as to the important moral effect which may be produced by even a limited immigra- tion, they have not confined their expectations of relief to any definite addition to the agricultural population. They have always contemplated the general influence of a continuous immigration as the principal means to which they could trust for restoring beneficial cultivation, and they conceive that desirable object might be speedily attained. But for the prohibitions laid upon proprietors, it would probably have been already accomplished by their individual exertions; and still more cer- tainly if a system of immigration, combining limited contracts and modified bounties, had been early adopted. The only colony in the West Indies which has received a regular influx of suitable immigrants, though they have come chiefly from the other islands, is Trinidad, and there the consequences have been remarkable, The decline of the cultivation has never been nearly so great as in Jamaica or Guiana; and according to the progressive accession of labourers has been the progressive restora- tion of production. As regards the expense of procuring this accession, it will be found that the colony has actually received in augmented revenue alone, arising from duties on exports and imports attributable to the immigrants, more than the amount of bounties paid for those whose labour can be included in the estimate. It is nevertheless true that Trinidid still suffers severely from an insufficiency of labour. The first effect of immigration is, of course, to stay decline; but, even after it has been extensive enough to cause a partial recovery, the expense of cultivation \n\nmay, as in this case, absorb all the produce, and no clear income can be expected to accrue until the available population and fixed capital shall be brought into just proportion, and competition for employment made to take the place of competition for labour. In Mauritius, the only colony to which emigration from India has been again per- mitted, this transition seems about to be completed, and confidence restored. \n\nThe West India body never imagined that the social revolution from which they have so grievously suffered could be accomplished without inconvenience; but they confidently trusted that the influence of Her Majesty's Government would be vigo- rously exerted to preserve the value of their property; that not only would the eman- cipated slaves be encouraged, by all practicable means, to apply themselves to the cul- tivation of the staple products of the colonies, but that every possible facility would be accorded for the purpose of obtaining substitutes for those who might withdraw from field-labour, or engage in other occupations. \n\nAlthough this reasonable expectation has been hitherto disappointed, and the object which it was the undoubted wish of your Lordship to effect has not yet been attained, they would fain hope that redress will no longer be withheld; and that your Lordship, as the public guardian of their interests, will at length enable them to realize the promised benefits of freedom, and thus avert the disastrous conse quences which must otherwise ensue. \n\nI have, &c. \n\nThe Right Hon. Lord Stanley, \n\n&c. Sze. \n\nSir, \n\n&c. \n\nNo. 18. \n\nCHARLES CAVE, Chairman. \n\nCory of a LETTER from G. W. HOPE, Esq., to CHARLES CAVE, Esq. \n\nDowning-street, November 6, 1843. \n\nI AM directed by Lord Stanley to acknowledge the receipt of the letter which, on behalf of the West Indian body, you addressed to his Lordship on the 19th ultimo, on the subject of emigration to the West Indies; and in reference to your statement that the Order of Her Majesty in Council of the 4th of January last, allowing contracts to be entered into with the free coloured people of North \n\nCHINESE \n\nCHINESE LABOURERS TO THE WEST INDIES. America has been rendered ineffective, in consequence of the officers to be appointed for its execution not having been nominated, am to inform you that on the 1st of LABOURERS. March last Lord Stanley addressed Despatches to the Governors of Canada, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick, directing them to appoint one or more members of their governments to grant certificates to the parties applying for them, on pay- ment of a small fee. Although no official notification has been received of the appointment of these officers, Lord Stanley cannot doubt but that had application been made to the respective governments in those colonies, no difficulty would have been experienced by any parties in obtaining the necessary certificate. I am further directed to express Lord Stanley's regret that the perusal of the evidence taken before the West African Committee has left upon his mind an impression directly opposed to the conclusions you draw from it, as to the degree of freedom possessed by the lower class of Africans in the native states, and the practicability of carrying on, from thence, a bond fida free emigration. \n\nLord Stanley further regrets to learn that, notwithstanding the caution by which the first announcement of the permission of Coolie immigration into the Mauritius was accompanied, as well as the frequent explanations and repetitions of the state- ment then made that the step was to be considered experimental only, he has been unsuccessful in guarding Her Majesty's Government against the inference that all restrictions, as regards the West Indies, ought to be removed at once, and without even awaiting the result of the experiment in progress in the much less difficult case of Mauritius. \n\nCharles Cave, Esq. &c. &c. \n\nNo. 19. \n\nI am, &c. \n\nG. W. HOPE. \n\nCopy of a LETTER from CHARLES CAVE, Esq., to Lord STANLEY. \n\nWest India Committee Rooms, 12, Old Jewry, \n\nNovember 15, 1843. \n\nMy Lord, \n\nI HAVE the honour to acknowledge the receipt of a letter from Mr. Hope, written by direction of your Lordship, under the date of the 6th instant; and, hav- ing communicated the same to the Committee of the West India body, I am desired to express the extreme disappointment it has occasioned, intimating as it does your Lordship's intention to maintain, for an indefinite period, the restrictions under which the West India proprietors have so long suffered; or, at least, that the con- cessions of their just claims may still be postponed to other, and inferior, considera- tions. As they cannot doubt that your Lordship is sincerely disposed to promote the prosperity of the West India Colonies, and that you must feel an especial interest in the complete success of emancipation, it seems to this Committee impos- sible that Her Majesty's Government can be fully acquainted with their real condi- tion, and yet continue to withhold the only remedial measures by which these objects may be attained, especially as, if they were even now granted a consi- derable time must necessarily elapse before they could become effective. The West India body are indeed aware, from the Despatches published by the Colonial Department, that some years ago (as particularly shown by one addressed on the 15th of February, 1840, to the Governor of Guiana,) the great decline in the production of sugar, and even the possibility of its utter extinction, were regarded with indifference, if not with complacency; and that it was deemed a secondary question\" \"how to maintain the natural prosperity of our West India Colonies, promote the cultivation of products for which the climate is adapted, and keep up, if not increase, the consumption of British manufactures.” They have also observed that certain Governors and other functionaries, thus countenanced, and concerned also to make their own administration appear suc- cessful, have constantly reported the colonies in which they are placed as being in a state of prosperity, though it was notorious that their cultivation was sustained at a great sacrifice. While these opinions prevailed with Her Majesty's Govern- ment, it was impossible to expect that any measures comprehending the interests of all classes, proprietors as well as labourers-should be considered without prejudice. But this Committee cannot ascribe to your Lordship sentiments so much at variance with the views expounded in your Despatch to the Governor \n\nNo. 19.",

E. SHELLEY, \n\nClerk of the Councils. \n\nJOHN FRANCIS DAVIS, Governor, &c. &c. \n\nHONGKONG.-Published by Authority. \n\nPrinted by Jous CarK. \n\nIn 230 H tong \n\nTo His Excellency the Governon \n\nof Hongkong and its Dependencies and the the Colony Honorable Members of the Legislative Coun- cil of Hongkong. HONORABLE SIRS-We respectfully beg to address you with reference to Ordinance No. \n\n17 of 1844 entitled \"An Ordinance for Esta- blishing a Registry of the Inhabitants of the \"Island of Hongkong and its Dependencies.\"-- passed the Legislative Council the 21st August last and published for the first time in the Friend of China of the 19th October to come into force the 1st November. \n\nTho it may not be strictly within our pro- vince to question the Policy of the publication of any ordinance, whether urgent or unimpor tant its principles and details, not taking place until within the short space of twelve days of the period of its coming into operation we cannot but express our regret that an Ordi- nance so materially affecting both public and private interests, which appears to have been passed so for back as the 21st August last, should not have been made known to us un- til within so short a period of our being called upon to acknowledge it as law-thus depriving as the opportunity of making that due \n\nrepresen tation of our opinions against such enactments as may appear to us to bear hard upon our in- terests: a privilege, which as being unrepre- sented in the Legislative Council, we think is our due considering the important interests we have at stake in the Colony. To these cir- cumstances we pray you to attribute the la- teness of our present address and not to any indifference to the subject at issue. \n\nWith these preliminary observations, we desire, therefore to represent to you Excellency and the respective Honorable Members of your Council the unfeigned, and extreme repugna- nce with which we have read the Ordinance in question and to enter our formal and de- clared Protest against the Principles that it involves. \n\nPrinciples-We do not hesitate to say as unjust as they are arbitrary and unconstitutional taxing British subjects unrepresented in the most iniquitous of forms, authorizing the most unheard of inquisitorial proceedings, without appeal or remedy, and placing the very power of residence to British subjects whose name may have hitherto been unsullied and unsus- pected in the hands of any one individual. \n\nFurther-We consider that the Law in question is opposed in its details to one of the great objects struggled for during the late was with the Chinese Empire, and against which special provision was made in the Treaty of Nankin-namely, the unchristan principle of bolding one men responsible for the acts of another. \n\npur- \n\nAgain-We would represent that the effect of this enactment if carried out will interfere with the labor and consequent prosperity of the Colony-inasumch, as many of us have entered in o contracts upon the faith of chases wale from your Government at enor- mous rentals, which must now either be broken or delayed from the demur that the contractor will make to introduce laborors for their fulfil- ment whiltst the despotism that is apparent in this act, will induce many respectable Chinese who have now sufficient difficulty in paying \n\nthe heavy house rent in this Colony entirely to abandon the place, and deter others from taking up their residence amongst us. And, Moreover-We give it as our unqualified opinion that the carrying out of the details of this Ordinance will be found impracticable, as well as inefficacious for the object sought to be in attained, that the principle that it in- volves is even more stringent than has ever yet been applied to a penal settlement and we confidently assert is repugnant to the feelings of every Honorable British subject. \n\nWith the above representation of our views of and ↑ Protest against this Ordinance we would pray your Excellency in Council either to modify its details so as to remove the intollerance of the principles that it gives law to, or to cause the operation of it to be sus- pended until reference can be made to the Home Co- vernment as we cannot suppose that such a measure can receive the sanction of Her most gracious Majesty. \n\nT.

Pilots. \n\nWHENEVER a British merchantman shall arrive off any of the five ports opened to trade, viz., Canton, Foochowfoo, Amoy, Ningpo, or Shanghai, pilots shall be allowed to take her immediately into port; and, in like manner, when such British ship shall have settled all legal duties and charges, and is about to return home, pilots shall be immediately granted to take her out to sea, without any stoppage or delay. \n\nRegarding the remuneration to be given these pilots, that will be equitably settled by the British Consul appointed to each particular port, who will determine it with due reference to the distance gone over, the risk run, &c. \n\nII. Custom-house Guards. \n\nThe Chinese Superintendent of Customs at each port will adopt the means that he may judge most proper to prevent the revenue suffering by fraud or smuggling. Whenever the pilot shall have brought any British merchantman into port, the Superintendent of Customs will depute one or two trusty Custom-house officers, whose duty it will be to watch against frauds on the revenue. These will either live in a boat of their own, or stay on board the English ship, as may best suit their convenience. Their food and expenses will be supplied them from day to day from the Custom-house, and they may not exact any fees whatever from either the Commander or Consignee. Should they violate this regulation, they shall be punished porportionately to the amount so exacted. \n\nHII. Masters of Ships reporting themselves on arrival. \n\nWhenever a British vessel shall have cast anchor at any one of the above-mentioned ports, the Captain will, within four and twenty hours after arrival, proceed to the British Consulate, and deposit his ship's papers, bills of lading, manifest, &c., in the hands of the Consul; failing to do which, he will subject himself to a penalty of two hundred dollars. \n\nFor presenting a false manifest, the penalty will be five hundred dollars. \n\nFor breaking bulk and commencing to discharge, before due per- mission shall be obtained, the penalty will be five hundred dollars, and confiscation of the goods so discharged. \n\nThe Consul, having taken possession of the ship's papers, will imme- diately send a written communication to the Superintendent of Customs, specifying the register tonnage of the ship, and the particulars of the cargo she has on board; all of which being done in due form, permission will then be given to discharge, and the duties levied as provided for in the Tariff, \n\nIV. Commercial Dealings between English and Chinese Merchants. \n\nIt having been stipulated that English merchants may trade with whatever native merchants they please,-should any Chinese merchant fraudulently abscond or incur debts which he is unable to discharge, the Chinese authorities, upon complaint being made thereof, will of course do their utmost to bring the offender to justice; it must, however, be distinctly understood, that if the defaulter really cannot be found, or be dead, or bankrupt, and there be not wherewithal to pay, the English merchants may not appeal to the former custom of the Hong Merchants paying for one another, and can no longer expect to have their losses made good to them. \n\nV. Tonnage Dues, \n\nEvery English merchantman, on entering any one of the above-men- tioned five ports, shall pay tonnage-dues at the rate of five mace per register-ton, in full of all charges. The fees formerly levied on entry and departure, of every description, are henceforth abolished. \n\nVI. Import and Export Duties. \n\nGoods, whether imported into, or exported from, any one of the above-mentioned five ports, are henceforward to be taxed according to the Tariff as now fixed and agreed upon, and no further sums are to be levied beyond those which are specified in the Tariff; all duties incurred by an English merchant-vessel, whether on goods imported or exported, or in the shape of tonnage-dues, must first be paid up in full; which done, the Superintendent of Customs will grant a port-clearance, and this being shown to the British Consul, he will thereupon return the ship's papers, and permit the vessel to depart, \n\nVII. Examination of Goods at the Custom-house. \n\nEvery English merchant, having cargo to load or discharge, must give due intimation thereof, and hand particulars of the same to the Consul, who will immediately dispatch a recognized linguist of his own establishment to communicate the particulars to the Superintendent of Customs, that the goods may be duly examined, and neither party sub- jected to loss. The English merchant must also have a properly qualified person on the spot to attend to his interests when his goods are being examined for duty, otherwise, should there be complaints, these cannot be attended to. \n\nRegarding such goods as are subject by the Tariff to an ad valorem duty, if the English merchant cannot agree with the Chinese officer in fixing a value, then each party shall call two or three merchants to look at the goods, and the highest price at which any of these merchants would be willing to purchase, shall be assumed as the value of the goods. \n\nTo fix the tare on any article, such as tea; if the English merchant cannot agree with the Custom-house officer, then each party shall choose so many chests out of every hundred, which being first weighed in gross, shall afterwards be tared, and the average tare upon these chests shall be assumed as the tare upon the whole; and upon this principle shall the tare be fixed upon all other goods in packages. \n\nIf there should still be any disputed points which cannot be settled, the English merchant may appeal to the Consul, who will communicate the particulars of the case to the Superintendent of Customs, that it may be equitably arranged. But the appeal must be made on the same day, or it will not be regarded. While such points are still open, the Super- \n\nC 2 \n\n",

Sir,-As it entails upon the commercial community immense inconvenience to have the packets of ships arriv ing at Macao (and the master of almost every merchant vessel first reports himself here to the consignee) sent over to Hongkong (where none but H. M. servants reside), to be opened by you, we have to request you will be good enough to appoint so he person to do the needful here. \n\nThe Madagascar is a case in point, for the packets by her, though landed at the Hotel, could not be opened in consequence of a recent order of yours to the contrary, but were sent to Hongkong and returned here four days after. wards; the City of Palaces having in the meanwhile left for Calcutta, by which, had the steamer's letters been dis. tributed on arrival, we should have been able to forward \n\nWe have the honor to be, Sir, replies. \n\nYour most obedient servants, \n\nDENT & CO. \n\nMACVICAR & Co. \n\nLINDSAY & Co. \n\nBELL & CO. \n\nTo Messrs. Dent & Co. and others, \n\nH. M. Subjects at Macao. \n\nMacao, Monday, 20th September, 1841. Gentlemen,- yesterday received your letter without date respecting the arrangements that, with some pains, I have made to insure the safety of all letters coming to this country to the address of the Postmaster at Hong- kong. These arrangements have not been made unadvi- sedly, but are the result of some observation and experi- ence: and believe they will be found in the long run to insure better than any other, my main object, as well as expedition in the delivery of the majority of the letters coming under my consideration. \n\nI am sorry that part of the English commercial com. munity residing at Macao should not receive their letters so expeditiously as they wish. But, although I am anxions to facilitate all commercial operations wherever they are carried on, 1 at the same time must not lose sight of other public interests, and I do not at present see that I can obtain my object by any other means than those I have adopted. \n\nI think the power to prevent much of the inconvenience you complain of is in your own hands: for those who like it can always appoint an agent at Hongkong to receive their letters, and to send them over here by any opportu. nity they may prefer, if they are not satisfied with allowing them to be sent over here for them to the Superintendent's office. \n\nIt is likewise in your power, Gentlemen, to instruct yourr respective agents at the different places from which you are in the habit of receiving letters not to have them made up in the packets addressed to the Postmaster at Hong- kong. \n\nIn order that there may be no mistake on this subject, I request you will be so good as to have this correspon. dence made as public as it is possible, either by publication in the newspapers, or by any other means that you may think most desirable. I have the honor to be, Gentlemen, \n\nYour Obedient Humble Servant, \n\nA. R. JOHNSTON, Deputy Superintendent. \n",

        "content_text": "in compliance with Your Excellency's instructions incorporated in one statement the whole disbursements and receipts for the quarter, but I have separated the disbursements and receipts of Mr Stewart and Mr Coffin from those made by me, and put in such vouchers as have been rendered me by those Gentlemen in support of their accounts. As regards Commissary General Liffin I have been obliged to give him receipt for the sums of £132.14.7 disbursed for the Colonial department, and for £50.6.9 disbursed for the Superintendent of Works' department; and for which I obtained Warrants from Your Excellency. As regards Mr. Stewart's portion of the June account, that Gentleman will be responsible direct to the Audit Board in London: (see letter of Auditor Gen.). I have had nothing whatever to do with his payments or receipts.\n\nIn conclusion I beg to submit to Your Excellency the propriety of diminishing to the lowest scale the Colonial Quarterly advances on Imprest, which in the June account amounts to £1708.11.17½, and which in the September account have increased to £6157.1.3.\n\nI have, &c.,\n\nR.M. Martin.\n\n(true copy)\n\nFrederich W. A. Boney,\n\nTreasurer.",

I shall have the honour of embodying the other subjects mentioned in Mr. Martin's letter in my Report when I transmit the accounts after they have been audited. I shall therefore only remark in the second place, upon a subject which Mr. Martin is already reporting upon Your Excellency's verbal instructions, that \"the proposed change in the method of making advances on Imprest should have a retrospective effect, and is refusing cash against the 3rd month's expenditure, for the 1st Quarter, which have been issued to and by Your Excellency and upon the payment of which the Accountants have calculated.\n\nThis venture to assert is productive of unnecessary inconvenience, and if Mr. M. Macpherson's suggestion, that departments should only draw for two months' Imprest is to be acted upon, I submit for Your Excellency's consideration that the alteration should be only prospective. But upon the question altogether I beg leave to differ entirely with the Honourable Treasurer as in my opinion, the change would be an improvement, and all changes in Government accounts are to be deprecated.\n\nI have been informed that though Major Aldrich's instructions expressly forbade his advancing Imprest money, he has found it impossible to carry on his Military works without doing so and he has therefore not complied with his instructions in this respect.",

Formatted the text into paragraphs using HTML  tags.\n\nHowever, upon closer inspection, it appears that the original text is quite damaged and some words are not clear. To follow the rules precisely, I have not made any changes that involve guessing the original text. The output is in HTML format as requested.",

Martin alludes to a form of the June Quarterly Account he purposed to draw up which he left behind him in the Office. I enclose M. Mercer's Memorandum to shew that such form was found by him in the Office (marked 8R).\n\nAs to the fifth paragraph of Mr Martin's letter I have already shewn that his assertion as to the non-registry of the documents forwarded with Mr Mercer's Account to England is unfounded. As to the difficulties alluded to in this paragraph I beg to refer you to numerous Reports and Memoranda of that date and also to enclose Letter from the Hon. The Colonial Secretary on the subject of Imprest Warrants (marked 9. R) referring Your Honorable Board at the same time to the numerous Memoranda drawn up by the Colonial Secretary which have been already forwarded to you merely observing that the plan which has been adopted to relieve him from much of the difficulty which he experienced was suggested by the Colonial Secretary and after meeting with M. Martin's entire concurrence was ordered by this Letter to be acted upon.\n\nAs to the sixth paragraph respecting Mr Martin's circular letter M. Mercer has been good enough to furnish me with a Memorandum which I have already enclosed (marked 8R) this with the Copy of the letter of the Chief Magistrate (enclosed in M. Martin's letter A) will make the ill-judged conduct of the Treasurer at once apparent and further as to the drawing up of the Warrants in my office (for they never were drawn up any where else at that time with my knowledge) Mr. Martin was acquainted with that part of the Auditor's Instructions which direct the amounts passed to be placed in Warrant by the Colonial Secretary but as the Colonial Secretary's Office was at that time overwhelmed with work he then saw the propriety of my drawing them which however has for months past been discontinued Mr Frotter one of the Secretary's clerks having been appointed to this service (inter alia) since October last.\n\nOn the remainder of his letter I would observe that as soon as Mr Martin had sent in the Heads of Departments to adopt in rendering their accounts in reply to the Colonial Secretary's letter No. 465 of 19th Decr 1844. Instructions were given for carrying out his wishes and Your Honorable Board will be able to judge from the tone of the Colonial Secretary's letter whether the Imputation which Mr. Martin attempts to cast upon other departments that they did not assist him to the utmost in every respect is justifiable or not.",

Mr. Fearon having arrived in England has reported that he has been acting as an Assistant in the Offices there, and receiving a salary according to the established regulations.\n\nI am directed (M.

        "content_text": "4.10.05. H.Hmy. \n\n77 \n\nTHE RIGHT HONORABLE \n\nLORD STANLEY \n\nH. M. PRINCIPAL SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE COLONIES, \n\n&c. \n\n&c. \n\n&c. \n\n\" \n\nMy Lord, \n\nTHE period has at length arrived, when, as Owners of land and property at HONGKONG, we can no longer refrain from addressing ourselves direct to H. M.'s Government, in the confident hope, that a plain statement of facts will induce H. M. Advisers, to sanction a material modification of the System, which has hitherto been in operation, occasioning results alike injurious to the interests of the mercantile Community, and the real and essential interests of the settlement. \n\nIt will scarcely be necessary for us, in the first place, to submit, that shortly after the Island was first ceded, or taken possession of by H. M. Plenipotentiary in China, in the early part of 1841, a public sale of land was held, at which it was stipulated, that the \"terms and tenure of all property would hereafter be defined by H. M. Government.\" \n\nBut in a letter of H. M. Plenipotentiary, dated 17th June, 1841, copy of which is hereunto annexed, an expectation was held out, that the lands would be granted in fee simple, for one or two years purchase at the rates paid at the public sale; or that they should be charged only with a nominal quit rent, if that form of tenure continued to obtain. \n\nThis suggestion on the part of H. M. Plenipotentiary, originated in the well known fact, that the very limited quantity of ground, available for Building purposes on the proposed site of the present Town of Victoria, was the occasion of great competition, and the eventual payment of a Scale of Rent, which that Officer naturally and truly apprehended, would, if enforced, be detrimental to the progress and prosperity of the settlement. \n\nDuring the time which intervened between the occupation of the Island by H. M. Government, in March 1841, and the Treaty of Nankin, in June 1843, a period of upwards of two years, the Local Government of Hongkong used every endeavour, both by facilities temporarily offered to early occupants of land, and the threat of penalty of forfeiture of their purchases to all who did not commence building, to induce the British Merchants to remove from Macao to the new Settlement, and nothing was, up to that date, said or done, to induce holders of land to apprehend, either that the promises of H. M. Plenipotentiary would not be strictly fulfilled, or that they would be placed in a more unfavorable situation, than parties similarly circumstanced in other British Colonies. \n\nLarge sums were consequently expended in the erection of Dwellings and Warehouses in the New Town of Victoria, to an extent, which would have rendered it injurious to all, and ruinous to many, to be compelled to abandon their property; and it was not until the early part of 1843, that it was notified: \"That H. M. Government did not see it to recognise sales or Grants of land, that had been made by or under any Authority whatsoever, up to the period of the exchange of the ratification of the Treaty of Nankin.\" \n\nBut as H. M. Government must have been well aware, that the Colonists had acted with perfect reliance on the good faith and justice of their Government, this order was so far qualified, that on 23d August 1843 it was notified: \n\n\"That an Enquiry should be instituted into the Equitable claims of all holders of land to a confirmation either permanent or temporary of their Titles, so far as they could be confirmed consistently with a just regard to the interests of Society at large.\" \n\nIn the early part of 1844 we were, for the first time, made acquainted with the terms on which the Crown Lands were to be held, and Sir Henry Pottinger, then Governor of the Island, published the forms of the Leases required to be executed. \n\nThe conditions of these Leases were universally considered so unusual, and so certain in their operation to be ultimately injurious, not only to the holders of Land, but to the future welfare of the Colony, that we were compelled to protest most solemnly against them in a correspondence with the Governor, dated in March 1844, from which correspondence we beg to subjoin the following extract: \n\n33 \n\n\"We may be allowed to point out to Y. E., that an adherence on the part of Government to the proposed terms of Lease would be eventually the means of placing those, who first commenced improving their property in Hongkong, and who from the sums already expended cannot withdraw from the occupation of their Buildings without ruinous loss, on most unfavorable terms, compared with others, who have the option of resorting to places where land can be bought, or rented, on much more moderate conditions; and we submit, that it can never be the wish or intention of H. M. Government to place the early occupants of Land in such a position.\" \n\n5. \n\nNo redress has however been granted; and disregarding the future prosperity of the Settlement, in the desire to raise a comparatively large temporary revenue, the Local Government has persisted in forcing unusually hard conditions on the Land holders, who had been led into a large expenditure of money, owing to their faith in the promises, under which the",

        "content_text": "Land was originally sold ; (promises, which were at any rate tacitly acknowledged by the Government, and not repudiated until after the lapse of 3 years); while at the same time it is no exaggeration to state, that had the existing regulations been promulgated before, instead of after the outlay of their funds, not one British Merchant would have been found willing to become a resident in the Colony.\n\nWe have deemed it necessary and due to ourselves, to enter thus at length into some account of the formation of the Colony and its progress hitherto, with the view of shewing: First, the nature of the inducements under which we were led to abandon our Residences at Macao and Canton, where both House rent and Taxation are very light; which we may illustrate by the fact, that the Ground rent alone of most of the eligible sites in Hongkong is (without including rent or interest of money) a heavier charge, than all payments, rent inclusive, required of the Tenants of Houses in Macao;\n\nAnd Secondly To prove that the very onerous terms, on which we have been compelled to occupy our property in Hongkong, have been forced on us, not only against our urgent remonstrances, as a question of justice and equity, but in opposition to what we have always considered and represented to be the true interest of the Colony.\n\nSince the enforcement of these Leases, the measures of the existing Government of the Island have still further aggravated the evils under which we have been suffering, by making in a place, nominally declared to be a free Port, every description of commerce and Trade a Subject of Taxation, or source of revenue, or of Monopoly sold to the highest Bidders, thus driving away, instead of encouraging Trade in an infant Settlement: and lastly we have now to complain of the promulgation of an ordinance, which we submit to be unconstitutional and illegal, empowering Government Assessors arbitrarily to value all Household Property, with the view of raising a new tax, ostensibly for payment of a Police force, there being no Municipal Body of any kind in the Colony to determine whether such tax be necessary, or equitably levied and appropriated.\n\nThe result of the System actually in operation for the last two years; commencing with the proceedings in Land Sales and Leases under the administration of the first Governor, and continued by the financial arrangements of his Successor, is sufficiently exemplified in the present state of the Colony: for owing to the heavy rents and unsatisfactory tenure of property, the continued arbitrary taxation and impediments to Trade of all kinds, and the entire want of confidence, as well on the part of the Foreign Community in China, as of the Chinese themselves, as to the establishment of a better course of policy, there is, at this moment, after 4 years occupation of the Island, scarcely one foreign Resident, except Government Officers, and those British Merchants and Traders who commenced Building before the enforcement of the Leases; there are no Chinese Merchants, or even Shop-keepers, with any pretension to property; there is neither an import nor export Trade of any kind; and as will be seen by the public papers, even now, when many private Dwellings are temporarily occupied by the Civil and Military Officers of Government, pending the completion of the Public Buildings, several Houses have been untenanted for months past; and the value of all property is daily on the decrease.\n\nIt is necessary to bear in mind, that the Trade of this part of China has long been accustomed to flow through other Channels, that the Island of Hongkong has no natural productions, or consumers of imports, beyond the mere wants of the Colonists themselves, and is even dependent for its daily supply of food on the main land: and that a place so circumstanced, especially in a Country like China, proverbially averse to sudden change, can only be expected very gradually to acquire a Trade by facilities and encouragement, instead of being subject to ceaseless and heavy taxation, charges, from which places in its vicinity are moreover exempt.\n\nWe trust therefore, we shall not be deemed presumptuous in submitting to H. M. Government our urgent entreaty, that they will be pleased to direct the abolition of the Opium Farm, Auction Duties, and other harassing Taxation recently imposed, which have already had the effect of deterring many Chinese from settling in the place, and driven away several, who were already established, and been in fact utterly destructive of our incipient Trade. If this be not conceded, many of the European Residents will also be compelled to quit a place totally without Commerce, but more heavily taxed, in Ground rents alone, than any other part of China, and remove to those Ports where the Trade is actually carried on, abandoning properties on which many have expended their whole fortunes.\n\nWe further venture to suggest that the system adopted in other colonies may reasonably be extended to this distant settlement; and that it is hoped Government will be pleased to authorise the formation of a Municipal Body, vested with the usual power of deciding on the appropriation of the monies raised for Local purposes.\n\nWe cannot in conclusion refrain from urging, that such a settlement as Hongkong was never actually required by the British Merchants; and that it has become even less so since the opening of the five Chinese Ports, where the Foreign Residents are free from all taxation, and where the rent of Land and Houses is generally very moderate.\n\nWe submit therefore, that it will be found as inexpedient in principle, as under existing circumstances we consider it would be unjust in practice, to call on the Civil part of the Community for any large proportion of the expenses of a Colony which is held rather as a Military and Naval Station, giving Great Britain the Command of these Seas, and as the Residence of a few Merchants, occupied in extending British Commerce along the Coast of China, and keeping up an active correspondence with the rest of the World, than a place which under any circumstances can be expected to possess an extensive Trade, or afford any considerable revenue towards the payment of its own expenses.\n\nVICTORIA, 13th August, 1845.\n\nHughesdon & Co., George R.

A. Bruce \n\nRECELS \n\nTEB 2 \n\n10246 \n\nTo the Editor of the HONGKONG REGISTER. \n\nSIR,I was much amused by reading in your last number as I have before been amused by listening to the views of Mr. MoNTGOMERY MARTIN, respecting the cause of the unhealthiness of Hong-kong, and the gases evolved from decayed granite. It seems not a little strange that one educated to the Medical Profession should sport such views, and had I not heard them from his own mouth, I could scarcely have believed, notwithstanding the internal evidence, that the article in the Gentleman's Gazette was his production. I know not whether it was customary in former days to give Medical diplomas to Gentlemen who had not attended a Chemical class, but if he did attend one, he must have been in the predicament of a certain mathematical student I have heard of, whom his Professor complimented on his honesty when leaving this class, expressing his belief that he had taken nothing away. \n\nGranite is well known to be composed of quartz, mica and felspar. Quartz consists of nearly pure siliceous earth; mica of silica, lime and alumina; and felspar of the same materials in a different proportion, with the addition of a small quantity of potass. All these substances no doubt contain oxygen gas as a component part joined to a metallic base; but to separate that gas is one of the most difficult operations in Chemistry, and if separated it would improve and not deteriorate the atmosphere. The mere circumstance of disintegration however will make no change on the materials as Mr. MARTIN would have us believe, misled apparently by the terms decayed granite, rotten rock and other such names applied to it, and drawing his conclusions from the same terms as applied to animal and vegetable substances. Now in these there is a total change of substance attendant on decay. Putrefaction takes place, new combinations are formed and a copious evolution of gas follows. But no such thing is the result of decay in granite, and to whatever cause the sickness of Hongkong may be attributed, some other source must be looked for than the gas proceeding from rotten rock. \n\nI am, &c., \n\nAN AMATEUR GEOLOGIST. \n\nP. S.-I leave you to deal with the political and commercial view of the question, but surely you might have something to say about the base insinuation against Sir HENRY POTTINGER, as being influenced by those about him from mercenary motives to prefer Hongkong to Chusan. Whatever the faults of late Plenipotentiary, he ever showed a high-minded and honorable spirit, joined to an integrity of purpose which Mr. MARTIN might well take as a pattern, whilst these qualities were joined to an indefatigable industry and application to the duties of his office, which did not, so far as is known to the public, characterise the late Colonial Treasurer. \n\nOUR Correspondent \"AN AMATEUR GEOLOGIST\" has called our attention to some points in the article from the Bombay Gentleman's Gazette, which we omitted in our former notice. We fully agree with him in considering the insinuation against Sir HENRY POTTINGER, Most unjust and unfounded, and that the writer of that article whoever he is would do well to imitate the high-toned integrity which ever characterised the late Plenipotentiary. \n\nThere are several other points in his communication deserving farther remark, more especially as we find it has been copied by most of the Indian Journals, and unless contradicted will be received at home as deserving of credit. \n\nThe occupation of Hongkong he says was first brought about by the Opium speculators who thought it a fit place for their traffic; and such it was and is. The latter part of this statement we have already said is unfounded, and the former is no less so. The occupation of Hongkong was the voluntary act of the Plenipotentiary of the day, whose attention was naturally attracted by the best harbour in the South of China, situated within a convenient distance of the port, which then was, and still continues to be the great emporium of the China trade. We do not doubt the rising prosperity of Shanghai, and consider it not improbable that it may one day surpass Canton. But notwithstanding the great success that has attended the opening of this Port, a success that has exceeded the expectation of many who were sanguine on that point, the trade of Canton has not fallen off, but on the contrary continues to show a steady increase. If the traders of Hongkong have not sufficient confidence to land their treasure but keep it on board receiving vessels, it is not so much a reproach against the capabilities of the place, as against the Government which was so tardy in establishing an efficient police. Since that was established property is just as secure here, and loaded pistols as rarely to be found under the pillows of the inhabitants, as in many parts of the East; and this change must have been well known to the writer, if he had found it would answer his purpose to publish it. If no respectable Chinese have come to settle among us, we must look to the same quarter for the cause. No one in China is ignorant that several highly respectable China merchants were most anxious to settle here. The illiberality of Government in granting land at first deterred them; and at a later period, when our present rulers were disposed to boast that they had overcome previous obstacles, when a grant of land was made and the boundaries marked out, their narrow policy in imposing restrictions upon trade, and imposts upon the inhabitants, a second time deterred them. It is said the population of Hongkong amounted to 19,000 in July last. We have been informed on the best authority that the same number were found early in 1844, by Mr. GUTZLAFF, and there is no doubt that there has been a great increase since that period. It is very singular that while the example of Singapore is dunned into our ears whenever it can be brought to sanction the imposition of a tax or any other illiberal measure, whatever is praiseworthy in the Government there is carefully avoided. Thus at Singapore statements of the revenue and expenditure are regularly published, but who that is not initiated, knows anything of those of Hongkong. At Singapore the result of the census was recently published, with the number of the different classes of inhabitants; but though it is well known that a census was taken here last year, the result is withheld for no other reason that we can imagine, but that its publication would be a departure from the close system, that is one of the chief characteristics of our present rulers. \n\nAnother instance of the unfairness of the writer is the selection of the year 1843 for a comparison of the salubrity of Hongkong and Chusan. Why not take 1844, unless that the result would be more favorable for the former, or 1842 which would have told equally against the latter. It is true he tells us the bad food sent from Calcutta is now admitted to be the cause of the mortality at Chusan in 1842; but it would not suit his purpose to say that other causes are also admitted to have been active in producing the sickness of 1843 in Hongkong. Need we do more than merely allude to the miserable huts in which the military were crowded, in which no one would place a favourite dog, and that too after just arriving from the Yangtszekeang, where the seeds of disease had been implanted in their constitutions. This too was felt on board H. M. Ships in the harbour, the crews of which are falsely represented to have suffered as much as those on shore,\n\nPage 332",

COMMANDING THE TROOPS SERVING IN CHINA.\n\nVICTORIA, 14TH OCTOBER, 1844.\n\nWith a view to the more effectual preservation of our amicable relations with China, the Major General Commanding has received the instructions of Her Majesty's Government, to impress upon all Officers and Soldiers and others serving under his orders the great desirability of respecting on all occasions the usages and Institutions of the Country, and of studying the wishes and feelings of the Chinese Authorities and People.\n\nThe Major General has no reason for supposing that any one under his Command has been wilfully deficient in respect for the Higher Classes or in kindly treatment of the lower, but it must be obvious that in a Country so peculiar as China, actions indifferent in themselves, or which among European Nations would lead to little or no inconvenience might produce an impression highly unfavorable to the British character.\n\nIt is under these circumstances the Major General desires to impress the utmost circumspection of Conduct, while he calls upon all under his orders to refrain even from things indifferent if likely to give occasion for misinterpretation.\n\nHer Majesty's Government have expressed their determination to discountenance any proceedings offensive to the Chinese Authorities and People, and if necessary to visit with the severest displeasure any persons under their immediate Control against whom Complaints of this kind should be substantiated; but the Major General is convinced that the Officers and men in this Command require no motives to determine the nature of their intercourse with the natives of China, so strong as those which are founded on their own sense of propriety and justice; and after the high reputation acquired by the Troops in the Field, he feels confidently assured, that they will be the last to detract from it, by any deficiency in those qualities of Courtesy and Kindness which give a permanence and a value to all amicable relations.\n\n(By order,)\n\nT.M. EDWARDS, Captain,\n\nAssist. Adjut. General.\n\nPrinted by JOHN CARR.\n\nPage 36",

Imielin.\n\n[Registered] I.F. Davis.\n\nPUBLIC NOTIFICATION.\n\nHis Excellency the Governor, Her Majesty's Plenipotentiary and Superintendent of British Trade, having been informed by the Officers of the Chinese Government, through the chief Magistrate by the annexed letter, of certain most disgraceful outrages committed at Kowloon by some soldiers or other persons at present unknown, is pleased to publish a reward of Fifty Dollars for any information leading to the conviction of the delinquent or delinquents. His Excellency draws the attention of Her Majesty's subjects to the severe penalties already enacted against this description of offenders, who at once disgrace their country, violate the provisions of the subsisting Treaties, and oppose the wishes and intentions of the Home Government, so often made known; and he is determined, by the most summary enforcement of those penalties against all persons indiscriminately on conviction, to put a stop to abuses calculated to abridge the liberty, hitherto enjoyed by those who conduct themselves properly.\n\nBy order, FREDERICK W. A. BRUCE, Colonial Secretary.\n\nVictoria, Hongkong, 13th January, 1845.\n\nA SECOND COMMUNICATION.\n\nMy Second, Major Yé stated, that several Englishmen on a previous day entered into the Fort. Your humble Officer treated them with politeness, because there exist peace and friendship between our two countries. Who would have thought, that the said Englishmen would have gotten drunk in the public place, and afterwards talked madly, fired their guns, doing everything which was disgraceful. On the 4th day inst, (11th January) there came again seven British Soldiers from the Barracks to the fort, The garrison at that time prevented their coming in, but the English soldiers pointed their guns at them and threatened, as if they wanted to strike them. The soldiers of the fort therefore seeing that matters went on in this manner, let them come in.\n\nThe English military then entered, produced their liquor, and after having become intoxicated, went out of the fort, and perceiving the pigs and dogs of the people, as well as their tame pigeons, fired at them at random, just as they pleased.\n\nIn Kowloon first is the office of Major Ye, where he drills the soldiers, and the order therefore ought to be strict. The people rear the dogs, pigs and pigeons, and these ought not to be hunted.\n\nI therefore would request my elder brother to direct the Soldiers of Your Honorable Country, that whenever they come in future to Kowloon to walk about and to shoot birds, they ought not to go into the fort and injure the domestic animals of the people. This would be no trifling proof of neighbourly friendship.\n\nI inform you of this, and hope you will cast your glance on it. Without fail.\n\nReceived 12th January, 1845.\n\n(Signed)\n\nTrue Translation, CHARLES GUTZLAFF, Chinese Secretary.\n\nPage 93",

Page numbering is kept as is, assuming \"Page 241\", \"Page 242\", \"Page 243\" are the intended page numbers, though they were not exactly as described (three lines at the top and three at the bottom).\n\nHowever, upon closer inspection, it appears the original response already meets many of the requirements directly or indirectly. The main adjustments made were in formatting the output into HTML as requested. Some parts of the original text (like \"3 x 2\", \"腔\", \"Янамере\", \"3 Manal\") are left unchanged due to the rules not to alter unclear or non-English text without clear context or instruction on how to handle them.",

Much of that person's time has been occupied during the last half year, with the \"House valuation\" and Police rate assessment - which has entailed more difficulty than is anticipated again.\n\nBesides having to act as attorney for the Crown in getting in arrears of ground rent from the Chinese holders of Marine Lots, and also in the same capacity in the ejectment causes instituted by Mr. James White, he was deprived of his Services for a portion of the previous half year.\n\nIn the Deed Registry Department 65 Memorials have been registered by Europeans, 18 by Chinese, and 48 by others. The preparation of the latter is the duty of Mr Tarrant as all Leases being translated into Chinese, it is a necessary consequence that the deed of sale or transfer of the land must be executed in the same manner.\n\nMr Gutzlaff prepares the general terms of the agreement, and from that the Memorial is prepared in the manner required by the Ordinance. This then, together with its translation into Chinese, is made out in duplicate by Mr Tarrant, and the Clerk Keokitcheong.\n\nThe Leases remaining are a few of the purchasers at Capt. Elliott's sale, who have been repeatedly called upon to execute them but decline; they are the following, Messrs Lindsay 76, Pent 16, Turner & Co., Tex Hawson & Co., Macpherson M., I. Larking, Robertson, and others. The reasons alleged bear reference to certain correspondence.",

A more thorough correction would require a better understanding of the context or the original document. \n\nFor instance, some sentences like \"This offerers to close this authent\" or \"Sist Your Most Obedient,\" are unclear.

This despatch, in the same manner, was put aside to await that fuller Report - but hitherto no such report has been received.\n\nIn his present despatch marked \"Confidential\", Sir J. Davis repeats his objection to the union of the Offices of Secretary & Treasurer, but to the want of the promised report.\n\nMr. Gladstone's Despatch was dated 9 January without a reference to the Secretaryship.\n\nIn April a Despatch was received from Sir J. Davis dated 26 Feb. & written of course before he received Mr. Gladstone's Despatch, proposing the union of the Auditorship, stating that the present Acting Registrar, Mr. Caine, would be willing to undertake both the Treasurer's duties. It seems not unlikely that this may be the reduction of the Salary of the Treasurer.\n\nPage 439",
