If any reductions are made, some unreasonable selfish men will think they have claims to abatement, when in point of fact they have not the slightest, and the result will be pretty general dissatisfaction.\n\nIt may be questioned whether it is not politic to reduce all the rents—taking 25 to 50 per cent from the whole of them—and offering the unsold land on the same terms in order to encourage settlers. But we doubt whether this would answer immediately; for some years a shortcoming would result, and if we must pay the civil establishment, taxes would be levied on articles of consumption. The land rates will not deter merchants from building, if the place offers other advantages; many of them do all their business in Canton, and a house at Macao or Hongkong is a mere luxury to them, not an essential. If driven from Canton, they must settle down in Hongkong like a hive of bees; £50 more or less of rent will not have the slightest influence. It is much the same with the Chinese; our suicidal law ordinances, our petty monopolies of articles of traffic, the corruption of the police, and the arbitrary disposition of the government, were the means of driving many decent people away, and deterred others from settling. They had no confidence in the government, nor will they feel secure from oppression until some of our old officials are removed. Sir John Davis is gone; but his evil advisers are still here, their presence has a worse effect, as regards the Chinese, than the land rents.\n\nAs a financial scheme reduction would be a dangerous experiment at present; five years ago the colony was in a better position, and we are inclined to think that with a liberal, just Executive, and sound commercial policy, it would then have succeeded. The people were harassed by local ordinances, and their trade crippled by the introduction of antiquated fiscal laws—monopolies, poll-taxes and a variety of other injudicious measures. The colony has somewhat improved no doubt, and would improve still more were the retail farms knocked on the head, but a reduction in ground rent will certainly take a heavy slice out of the revenue for years.\n\nWe read comparisons between the rate of land in Hongkong and the \"choicest and most exclusive sites in Mayfair.\" That the price is high for a new colony is unquestionable, but it is a mere trifle to what land sells for in large cities at home; it is not a third of the cost of good building allotments in Sydney N. S. Wales—a town of some sixty years' growth.\n\nIf our ground rent, and consequently house-rent is high, we are favoured in other ways. Our wines, our malt, our tea, coffee, sugar, tobacco and a number of articles of daily consumption are all untaxed. We have but one assess tax—a heavy one however—in England people have the pleasure of paying half a dozen. Ships pay neither port charges, light money, nor any of the imposts which are levied elsewhere. For the support of the government, commerce is not burdened in any one way (always excepting the retail monopolies), and take it all in all, if a local revenue must be raised, there is no fairer way than by putting it on the building ground. It thus falls upon everybody,—heaviest upon those who must keep up a genteel appearance on a limited income, and upon others who require expensive premises upon which they conduct a small business—but these are the people who grumble least. Englishmen in China have got into an expensive way of living; if they paid the government two or three shillings for every cork drawn at their sideboard, many of them would be less free with their wine—such will be the inevitable result of a serious reduction in the land rent. If people wish to live altogether free of taxation, they must seek the wilds of some barbarous country and associate with savages. Taxation is the price paid for civilization and no money is invested to greater advantage.\n\nOverland China Mail.\n\nHONGKONG, THURSDAY, 29TH NOVEMBER, 1849.\n\nBIRTH.

On cote le plus généralement les fers marchands et ceux à plancher 170 à 175 francs en forge, pour les demandes courantes; et 165 francs pour marchés; les petits fers à cercles, 240 à 245 francs; la grosse tôle, 230 à 240 francs, à l'usine.\n\nDes petits fers marchands classés dans les 3 et 4 classes nous ont été demandés en abondance. Cette spécialité, qui ordinairement est demandée aux forges de l'Est, nous a donné lieu d'espérer une prochaine reprise.\" Nous espérons que les producteurs maintiendront leurs prix, ce qui leur permettra d'élever leurs prétentions en cas de reprise bien marquée.

Si on déduisait du nombre des balles qui ont passé à la condition celles qui forment l'objet de contrats antérieurs, on arriverait à un total tellement minime que l'on comprendrait facilement combien il est actuellement impossible de fixer les cours et de mesurer exactement les degrés de la baisse. Celle-ci a pourtant fait de nouveaux progrès, et l'on peut évaluer à 5 francs la nouvelle dépréciation survenue dans la dernière huitaine.\n\nCette dépréciation a surtout marqué les derniers jours de la semaine qui a précédé celle où nous sommes.

Ces affaires, quoique isolées et par cela même ne constituant pas des cours réguliers, semblent servir de base aux transactions en projets et provoquer un peu plus de demandes.\n\nNous cotons, comme cours pratiqués: 105 francs pour les organsins de Piémont, premier ordre, précédemment vendus 130 francs; 100 francs pour trames d'Italie, bonne livraison, précédemment vendues 125 francs; grèges Toscane, premier ordre, 9/11, 100 francs, précédemment vendues 125 francs; grèges de Chine Tsatlee 5, 63 à 65 francs, précédemment vendes 74-76 francs; grèges de Japon Mybashi, 2 1/2 à 3, 70 francs, valant précédemment 91 à 92 francs.\n\nÀ ces prix, disons-nous, il y a preneurs pour d'assez grosses parties; mais la marchandise n'est pas offerte et nos détenteurs importants de tous genres semblent vouloir attendre quelque temps encore avant de souscrire à ces prix, qui peuvent bien se pratiquer isolément, mais ne sont pas, à l'heure qu'il est, généralement acceptés.\n\nCes faits indiquent que la confiance dans l'avenir des prix de la soie n'est que partiellement ébranlée et que les gens les mieux placés croient toujours à un retour en hausse avant la fin de cette campagne.\n\nMais la seule rareté relative de la soie ne nous semble pas pouvoir déterminer ce retour; il faudrait pour cela une éclaircie dans la situation politique et surtout un réveil dans les affaires en étoffes. De ce côté, il n'y a aucune amélioration à noter. Les petites commissions qui se donnent çà et là sont des plus réduites et la vente sur banque est presque nulle. L'acheteur ne se laisse tenter que lorsque le fabricant consent à subir des prix bien inférieurs à ceux de la matière première.\n\nEn attendant, le stock de la marchandise fabriquée, comme celui de la soie, s'accumule sur notre place.\n\nLa fabrique réduit sa production ainsi qu'en font foi les relevés des ateliers de teinture, qui ne font que les deux tiers ou la moitié de leur travail ordinaire.\n\nLes arrivages de soies asiatiques sont plus importants qu'ils ne l'ont jamais été. Les magasins généraux ont en dépôt entre Lyon et Marseille environ 18,000 balles des soies de cette provenance. Les magasins particuliers sont loin d'être dégarnis. Les hauts prix du mois de septembre ont fait converger vers Lyon presque tout le stock disponible du monde entier. Mais, si important que ce stock puisse paraître aujourd'hui, il ne faut pas oublier qu'il est destiné à alimenter la fabrication pendant sept ou huit mois, et que les suppléments qui pourraient arriver d'ici à la fin de la campagne ne sauraient être bien importants.\n\nSAMEDI 2 DÉCEMBRE 1876.\n\nNous avons répété à satiété que les filatures en Europe tirent à leur fin et ne produiront plus grand'chose.\n\nDans l'extrême Orient, il y a toujours un stock qui ne laisse pas d'être considérable, mais qui ne contient plus des réserves pouvant alimenter utilement notre marché. La question est donc de savoir si les détenteurs en Europe sont décidés à attendre tranquillement un réveil d'affaires qui, selon toute probabilité, ne peut avoir lieu qu'en janvier et février; et même s'ils veulent escompter les chances de la récolte de 1877 en vue du retour de la hausse dont nous parlons plus haut, ou bien si, par prudence ou nécessité, ils se décideront avant cette époque à souscrire aux sacrifices que la fabrique et le moulinage semblent vouloir demander pour retourner franchement aux achats.\n\nSur le marché de Milan, le calme est complet, la marchandise courante très-offerte et la belle marchandise bien tenue.\n\nÀ Marseille, nullité d'affaires avec peu de stock. Les cocons de bonne qualité se paient encore de 25 à 26 francs, prix bien supérieurs aux cours actuels des grèges.\n\nÀ Londres, peu d'affaires, quelques petites transactions en soies de Chine avec 2-6 à 3 sh. de baisse sur les prix les plus hauts pratiqués les Japon semblent presque invendables à Londres il est vrai que ce marché a reçu, cette campagne, le rebut de la production japonaise. Les soies de bonne qualité et de filature européenne ont été dirigées directement sur le continent.\n\nSur les marchés orientaux, le marasme est complet; il ne s'y fait presque rien. L'Éléphant bleu était coté, le 29 novembre, 550 taels, à Shanghai; mais il est probable, nous télégraphie-t-on, que l'on pourrait traiter à 525-530 taels, Le change était remonté à 7.05.\n\nÀ Yokohama, la bonne marchandise devient de plus en plus rare. On a payé, ces jours-ci, 1,000 piastres pour les bonnes filatures à l'européenne. On cote: 775 piastres les Mybashi no 2. Change 5.25. Nous manquons de détails sur l'exportation totale des graines. Mais, jusqu'au 18 de ce mois, 400,000 cartons seulement avaient été expédiés, dont plus de la moitié par la dernière malle.\n\nLE HAVRE, 30 NOVEMBRE 1876.\n\nNous avons eu beaucoup d'animation pendant trois journées sur les cotons et de bonnes affaires en cafés, cuirs et bois, le tout à des prix très-fermes. Un peu de faiblesse sur les saindoux.\n\nCOTONS, --Notre marché cotonnier a ouvert dans de meilleures dispositions vendredi, et les affaires ont été plus suivies. Elles sont encore plus animées par la suite, sur le reçu de dépêches annonçant une grande raideur sur les prix aux États-Unis. Lundi, le marché est resté très-actif avec hausse de 2 francs sur les cours de vendredi, tant pour les Louisiane que pour les Surate. La demande s'est un peu calmée mercredi. On clôture dans ces dispositions, les grosses recettes continuant en Amérique et les dépêches de Liverpool étant plus froides. Le livrable a également débuté avec plus d'animation et de fermeté, et il donne lieu à des affaires excessivement importantes à des prix en hausse dans les journées de samedi, lundi et mardi. Un grand nombre des opérations traitées pendant ces trois jours, n'ont pas été cotées à terme. On est vendeur de Louisiane sur mois éloignés à fr. 76 les 50 kilos.\n\nJOURNÉES.\n\n \n \n \n A LIVERPOOL.\n \n \n AU HAVRE\n \n \n \n \n \n \n 3.924\n 23.000\n 48.000\n \n \n \n \n \n 9.835\n 20.000\n 15.000\n \n \n \n \n \n 7.880\n 45.000\n 12.000\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n €2.000\n 40.000\n \n \n Fr.\n \n \n \n B.\n \n \n \n Fr.\n \n \n \n B.\n \n \n \n B.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n 1.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Vendredi (soir).\n 1.900\n 77.50\n \n 12.000\n 40.000\n \n \n Samedi\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Lundi\n 5.225\n 77.50/78\n \n 13.000\n 40.000\n \n \n \n 12.756\n 78,50\n \n 9.253\n 79\n \n \n \n 3.242\n 78.50\n \n 1.447\n 79.50\n \n \n \n \n \n 30\n \n \n \n \n Vendredi (matin)\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n H\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Morks 23 nov.\n 151.000\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Totaux, huitaine\n 3.223\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Contre en 1876\n 477,000 (20.430\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n 97.000\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n 75.000\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Mardi.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Mercredi\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Jeudi\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\nCAFÉS.

Depuis nos derniers avis, des affaires importantes ont eu lieu sur nos vins de 1876.

That Section 22 refers to Section 283 of the Imperial Act of 1894. Section 283 refers to a Master receiving on board an excess number of passengers and Section 22 of the Act of 1906 provides that passengers found on board shall for purposes of Section 283 be deemed to have been received on board at the place where they are found.\n\nSection 283 was apparently purposely altered to suit the requirements of the Colony, and there therefore seems to be no good reason to introduce this amendment of Section 283.\n\nA further point in connection with Section 12 of the Principal Ordinance is that there is apparently no such thing as a passenger certificate. Under the provisions of Part III the Certificate which a passenger ship requires is a certificate of survey see Section 10 (3) and (10). This certificate mentions the number of passengers as one item only among many others, as some confusion might arise between this passenger certificate and the passenger licence required under Ordinance 1 of 1899 and that required under Sections 37 and 38 of the Principal Ordinance, it would be as well to read in Section 12 (1) and (4) \"Certificate of Survey\" for \"Passenger Certificate\".\n\na Passenger Ship Certificate. It might be called\n\nSubstitute \"penalty\", which is used in the Ordinance, for \"fine\" which is borrowed from the Act. But perhaps in view of Section 41 (4) this sub-section (9) might be omitted.\n\nSection 14 (1) reads \"all British or Colonial Ships registered in the Colony”. There is no reference to British Ships registered elsewhere. The Sub-section might read \"All Ships (except ships.. .\")", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-356 - Governor Sir Lugard - 1909 [4-6].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 442929, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-400 - Governor Sir May - 1913 [3-4]", "page_number": 497, "title": "CO129-400 - Governor Sir May - 1913 [3-4]", "content_text": "# \n\n## \n\nJ90 \n\nCARE ALL STOL putiko „rijoo, da buot .

Some of these replies were translated, but there does not appear to be anything of material interest in them.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-400 - Governor Sir May - 1913 [3-4].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 449680, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-414 - Governor Sir May - 1914 [10-11]", "page_number": 362, "title": "CO129-414 - Governor Sir May - 1914 [10-11]", "content_text": "861 Avenue - 852 Avenue 8., Leadenhall Street, E.C.
