The Royal Artillery (the finest military corps in the world), out of 135 men and officers, lost in two years 51 by death (of whom 35 died at Hong Kong during the last six months of 1843) and 45 by invaliding. That Hong Kong was the cause of their death will be seen from the fact, that Colonel Knowles' detachment of Royal Artillery went through the whole of the war at Canton and in the Yang-tze-kiang river; the detachment was out here three years, it never landed at Hong Kong; one man was killed, another died of dropsy, but the whole of the remainder of the detachment returned to England, except the commanding officer, Lieut.-Colonel Knowles, who landed at Hong Kong, and died of fever.\n\nThe officers of the Royal Artillery died in the same proportion as the men: out of nine officers who came out with the original detachment, but one escaped disease or death. Last year there were several losses in the ships of war. Her Majesty's ship \"Agincourt\" lost during the sickly season of 1843 60 men, of whom 20 were marines; 40 men were invalided home, of whom few would recover. Since leaving England in May, 1842, the \"Agincourt\" has been obliged to enter 160 seamen from merchant ships. The cause assigned for the severe illness of the marines and seamen of last year was the being obliged to land guards to protect stores at West Point. This year the \"Agincourt\" sends no men on shore or on night duty; and out of 600 men, there are only 23, including slight hurts, on the sick list—a fact which tests the insalubrity of the shore.\n\nSTATIONS.\n\nFevers.\n\nABSTRACT, &c.—(continued).\n\nDeaths per Annum.\n\nPulmonie Affections.\n\nTotal Deaths per annum.\n\nOther Diseases.\n\nDysentery.\n\nCholera.\n\nDropsical ditto.\n\nDiarrhoea.\n\nRheumatism.\n\nHepatites.\n\nDischarged per ann.\n\nTransferred per ann.\n\nOn Sick Leave per ann.\n\n1843.

Many men and officers were obliged to be invalided.\"\n\nHONG KONG,\n\n9\n\nThe deaths in the naval force at Hong Kong and Whampoa for the six sickly months ending October, 1843, were four per cent., while for the same period on shore the deaths among the troops averaged twenty-four per cent.; and even among the European civilians the estimate was ten per cent.*\n\nIn May, 1843, the left wing of Her Majesty's 55th Regiment had 16 officers and 490 men in Hong Kong; from thence to November, 2 officers and 218 men died, and the lives of the remainder were only saved by the prompt, judicious, and humane conduct of General D'Aguilar in immediately embarking the men for England.\n\nThe mortality as yet (July 17) during the present year has not been so great, but the sickness is equally destructive of the efficiency of the troops. Chue Chew, on the south side of Hong Kong, it was hoped would be a healthy station. On the 30th June, 1844, out of 400 men of Her Majesty's 98th Regiment at Chuc Chew, there were 109 in hospital; out of 80 lascars at the same station, there were 30 in hospital†.\n\nIt was supposed that Saiwan, on the south-east side of Hong Kong, would afford a healthy station for the troops: Government expended about 30,000 dollars in preparing and building a fine set of barracks, of two stories, with every view to comfort and health. The officer of the Royal Engineers having reported the barracks habitable, the General Commanding sent a medical board to examine the building and station. The board reported that the station at Saiwan appeared healthy, that there was no apparent cause for disease, and that it was eligible for troops. The General resolved to begin with a small detachment, and twenty Europeans were sent to Saiwan. No sentry was to be mounted during the day, and but one at night. In five weeks five of the soldiers were dead, three more were in a dangerous state, and four were convalescent; one European woman and child were also dangerously ill.\n\n* Captain White, of the \"Omega,\" enumerated to me the following, among his own acquaintance in a brief period :-Captain McCarthy, æt. 36. Never previously ill. Sailor; Captain of ship,—Captain Morgan, Captain of ship.—Mr. Hy. Pybus, æt. 32. Strong healthy man.—Messrs. Elsworthy, Dyer, and Scott, æt. about 24. Healthy men.—Mr. Mercer, merchant. Mr. Langer, architect.—Two Mr. Hights, brothers. One Captain of ship, and the other merchant. Both young men. Mr. Cropper, merchant.—Mr. Stevenson, builder. Had been five years resident in Sierra Leone, and three years in New Orleans. Mr. McEwen, general dealer.—Mr. Disant, æt. 37. Long resident in India.—Fully one-third of those he knew in Hong Kong, intimately, during the first eighteen months, died in Hong Kong.\n\nDuring the year 1845, Chuc Chew—which is almost entirely composed of rotten granite—proved as unhealthy as Victoria. By the last accounts Her Majesty's 18th were dying there rapidly; but every effort is made to suppress such information by those who wish to maintain the delusion at home. The Overland \"Friend of China\" of the 31st December, 1845, states, that the mortality of the 18th Royal Irish, from the 1st March to December, 1845, at Chuc Chew, has been \"nearly twenty-three per cent. The whole of the Europeans have now been removed from this wretched and useless spot, and placed on board the ship 'Sir R. Sale,' in the harbour of Hong Kong, on the Chinese shore; but,\" adds the journal, \"there has been no improvement from the change, and it is probable they will sail for England.\" This very regiment did not lose three per cent. per annum last year at Chusan; now they are almost entirely unfit for immediate active service.",

        "content_text": "52\n\nREPORT ON\n\nthe northern ports against the monsoon has been purposely magnified by those engaged in the opium trade, who have for several years past navigated the whole coast of China, regardless of the monsoon. Captains of merchant-vessels declare they would rather proceed from Hong Kong to Chusan in the north-east monsoon, than they would pass through the English Channel in winter.\n\nA vessel proceeding from Singapore, or any southern port up the China Sea, against the monsoon, can reach Chusan as easily as Hong Kong, and within three or four days of the time, the difference of distance being only 700 miles\". The China coast, as far north as Chusan, and the entrance of the Yang-tze-kiang river, is bold, steep, and skirted with islands, where good anchorage may always be found.\n\nThe harbour of Chusan is superior to that of Hong Kong, more easy of access and egress in all winds, and safer in a typhoon. No gale can raise a sea in Chusan harbour. The holding ground is a tenacious clay; and when the junks are driven on shore, owing to their imperfect moorings, they drive on a mud-bank, from whence they easily get off in fine weather. Sixty sail of British vessels have anchored in Chusan harbour at once; and the adjacent safe and large harbour, termed \"Spithead,\" would contain treble that number of vessels. Excellent anchorage exists throughout the whole Chusan archipelago, which is accessible to vessels proceeding in any direction to or from Chusan.\n\nIt is worthy of note that, for a large part of the year, Chusan is to windward of the adjacent ports and mainland of China, so that ships of war or transports can at any period with certainty enter the Yang-tze-kiang in a few days after leaving Chusan harbour. Naval commanders will immediately perceive the great importance of such an advantage.\n\nCC\n\n* One of the erroneous ideas entertained respecting Chusan was the impracticability of vessels reaching the island against the monsoon. The monsoons only blow in the tropics, and Hong Kong is on their verge. It is true the wind blows for a long period of the year (from Oct. to May) down the Formosa channel; but vessels at this season go outside the channel, but sometimes beat through: for instance, the \"Omega,\" a small schooner commanded by Captain White, one of the most intelligent, enterprising, and skilful officers on the coast of China, left Chusan, June 13, 1843, went to Hong Kong and Macao, delivered her downward and received her upward cargo, and arrived in Chusan harbour on the 29th, being somewhat under sixteen days. This was thought much of at the time; but in June, 1844, answers to letters were received, by sailing-vessels, from Hong Kong, in nine days from the time of their being written in Chusan. In 1843, Captain White made, in less than nine months, seven sailing voyages up and down between Chusan, Hong Kong and Macao, and on two of these occasions proceeded up the Yang-tze-kiang river as far as Woosung, besides, on other occasions, touching at the ports along the coast. During the remainder of the year the vessel was either laying up or being repaired; had she been constantly running, Captain White says he could have made ten voyages with ease. Let it be remembered that this was a trading schooner obliged to take in and discharge cargo each voyage. On May 6, 1843, at noon, the \"Omega\" sailed from Dear island, Chusan, and in sixty-nine hours anchored in the Typa, Macao roads. Small British vessels, brigs and schooners, are now plying the whole year between Macao, Canton, and Hong Kong to Chusan and the northern ports. Under a proper treaty and freedom, there would be a very large coasting trade along the whole shore of China conducted in small British square-rigged vessels.\n\nCHUSAN.\n\n53\n\nMilitary Position.-A glance at the map of China will instantly demonstrate the many advantages which Chusan possesses as a military station. Midway between the northern and southern extremities of this immense empire; at the entrance of the vast Yang-tze-kiang, which divides China into two parts, and by means of the extraordinary canals all centering in this river, affording a cheap and ready water communication with Pekin and all the richest cities and most fertile plains, --sufficiently distant from the mainland to prevent observation, and to guard against a surprise; in a healthy climate, abounding in commissariat supplies, and with the most important maritime advantages, Chusan may justly be termed the key of China.\n\nTwo regiments, a couple of frigates, and two steamers, would be sufficient, if stationed at Chusan, not only to keep the whole of the empire of China in check, but even to act on the offensive, enter the Yang-tze-kiang, occupy the mouth of the Grand Canal, and in one week dictate terms of peace without seeking any reinforcements from India. A flat country, thickly peopled by an unwarlike, effeminate, and commercial race, collected in numerous large cities, can never resist even a small well-organized invading body.\n\nBut our military occupation of Chusan would tend to prevent war, The Tartar Government, conscious of its weakness, and of our superior skill in arms, would dread an encounter, when we were at their door immediately to confront them, and demonstrate that we were not again going to waste our time and strength at the southern extremity of the empire. Our very proximity to Pekin would make the Chinese Government more solicitous for the maintenance of good faith, and for the preservation of a friendly alliance. We have at present nothing to expect from China but through their fear of our military strength; and were that fear removed, I believe they would not hesitate to expel us from every port in China. I will not advert to Hong Kong; my report on that settlement will show that that island can never be viewed as a military position for Great Britain.\n\nIn adverting to the chances of renewed hostilities in China, the probability of the western nations making this coast their battle-field, as was formerly the case in India, should not be overlooked. France or America or Russia might be engaged in war with China, while we were neutrals; the great value of our occupation of Chusan would then be most manifest. Or should China seek and obtain the assistance of England to quell domestic rebellion, or to resist foreign aggression, our position at the centre region of China would be equally useful. Whether England be engaged in an European or a Chinese war, her military and naval occupation of Chusan would be of vital importance, and the saving of many lives and much treasure.\n\nIt is a good maxim, that to be always prepared for hostilities is a sure mode of preserving peace. This rule would be found most applicable to the Chinese; and if our policy be the maintenance and extension of social and commercial intercourse with China, England will not relinquish her naval and military position in Chusan.\n\nConcluding Observations against the Evacuation of Chusan by England.-A careful reflection on the policy of the Tartar Government...\n\n430\n\n1",
