The Labuan Govt do not want Convicts generally, but a body of about 50 or 60 useful laboring Convicts; on the other hand, the Govt of Hong Kong has not actually in custody any body of Prisoners from whom such a selection could be made. It merely has about 30 fresh Convicts per annum, of whom it is by no means certain that all would be of the description wanted at Labuan. And at all events, 50 men could neither be a relief to one Colony nor acession to the other.\n\nIf the measure were entertained at all, it might be desirable to begin by ascertaining from the Archipelago Company whether they would wish to employ the Convicts. But for the foregoing reasons, I am inclined to think that the Plan may be dismissed.\n\n7.

        "content_text": "dmira \n\nto allow any reductions; partiality will be displayed, or if not actually displayed people will say so, and there would be a consequent discontent. 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.

The unfortunate occupier of Lot 6, was the Mahomedan priest attached to the Mosque, who bid as high as he could to retain his home, and excited competition by his eagerness, which sufficiently accounts for the great advance on that Lot. We presume the purchaser was not aware of the circumstance, as he has since considerately determined, for the poor man's sake, to forfeit his deposit and allow the Lot to be resold, when it will probably be knocked down at the upset price, unless competed for in a friendly way.",

The extremely small population, the scanty means of control, desperate characters are some of the reasons which have led to Convict Establishing elsewhere, but solely under the idea that they might somewhat cheapen the performance of labor.

T. MERCER,\" Colonial Secretary.**  \n\n### POLICE DEPARTMENT, HONGKONG, 14th September, 1855.\n\n\"SIR,-Having yesterday afternoon received intimation from you that His Excellency the Governor desired to have farther information on the subject of certain disreputable houses situated on Lyndhurst Terrace, which formed the subject of your letters to me No. 398*, dated 18th July, and No. 402, dated 19th July-- \n\n\"I have the honor to acquaint you for His Excellency's knowledge that impelled by His Excellency's views no less than by my own desire on the matter I have effectually removed all the objectionable tenants alluded to and taken measures to prevent a re-occupation of the houses in the same manner. My letter to you dated 19th July expressed that when the property was purchased, four months since, the owners clearly made known to every person that their intention was to clear out the bad class of person who had for so long a period inhabited the houses; I now respectfully iterate that statement, and in addition beg to express to you that although I was aware there would be some difficulty met with, I was certain that in a short time I could carry out the intention - it was partially this object which induced the owners to retain in their own hands the direct control of the property, being assured that in the hands of any other it would maintain its old character. I have the honor to be, Sir, your most obedient servant,\n\n**\"C. MAY,\" Superintendent of Police.**  \n\nThe Honorable **W. T. MERCER, Esq.,**  \n**\"Colonial Secretary.”**  \n\n* In error, should be No. 398.\n\nThe Council deliberated—  \n### Finding in Mr. May's case.\n\nThe Council unanimously agreed that Mr. Caldwell had not only failed to substantiate any one of his charges, but that he had no grounds whatever to justify him in bringing these charges against Mr. May.\n\nThe Council were further of opinion that the explanations voluntarily offered by Mr. May in reference to these charges were satisfactory.\n\nAs regards the allegations and insinuations against Mr. May contained in the printed pamphlet published by Mr. Caldwell and called \"a Vindication,\" the Council were of opinion (1) that the allusion at page 22, already referred to, as to wealthy Officers in the Police taking bribes, was calculated to lead to the supposition that Mr. May was pointed at, and that there was no justification for such an insinuation; (2) that the statement at page 23, of Mr. May being a notorious owner of Brothels, ought in justice to have been accompanied by the mention of the fact, that from the date of Mr. May becoming the purchaser of the property in question he had taken the most active measures to dispossess these tenants, and succeeded in doing so within four months; (3) that the account given at pages 24 and 25 as to the escape of the women from Attai's brothel into Mr. May's house was false, and was known by Mr. Caldwell to be false when published by him in his \"Vindication.\"\n\n## [87]\n\nAs regards this misstatement the Council found that Mr. Caldwell had (in the words of the Chief Magistrate) \"sworn before the Justices to a fact which the slightest care would have shown him not only did not take place, but which could not possibly have taken place;\" that such statement was most prejudicial to the character of a brother officer (Mr. May) with whom he (Mr. Caldwell) was on unfriendly terms; that when shown his error he neither corrected his evidence, nor offered any apology to the brother officer whom he had unjustly traduced; and that he subsequently repeated the misstatement, before the Caldwell Commission of Inquiry, and again in his \"Vindication,\" on both occasions knowing, as he now admitted, that it was incorrect.\n\nWith reference to the general question as to Mr. May's conduct in the matter of the Caldwell and Anstey charge, and the propriety of retaining him in the Government employment, the Council found that Mr. May's conduct in the case referred to, had already been made the subject of a very full and searching official investigation before the Executive Council in the year 1858, the result of which was communicated to the Secretary of State in Sir John Bowring's Despatch No. 144 of 1st November 1858.\n\nThis Despatch with all the papers connected with the enquiry in 1858 (printed in the Blue Book laid before Parliament, see pages 243 to 260) having been carefully considered by the Executive Council, as also a letter from Mr. Davies*, the late Chief Magistrate, attached to the Minutes of this day's proceedings, and no new facts as to Mr. May's conduct in the Caldwell and Anstey case and the matter of Mah-chow Wong's Books, having been elicited during the course of the present Investigation,--the Council concurred in the conclusion arrived at by the Executive Council on the 25th October 1858,-that Mr. May greatly erred in furnishing information of an important character to a local newspaper instead of submitting such information to the Government; but the Council considered that the censure then passed was a sufficient punishment for the offence.\n\nAs regards the further opinion expressed by the Executive Council in the Resolution of the 25th October 1858, that Mr. May \"had been actuated by an unfriendly animus in the part he took in the Caldwell Commission Inquiry,\" it appeared to the Council that Mr. Caldwell and Mr. May were on good terms until the year 1857, when bad feeling arose between them, in consequence of the part taken by each with regard to Mah-chow Wong, who was in that year sentenced to transportation for 15 years for confederating with Pirates, and who was at the present time a Convict in Labuan. Mr. May, being firmly convinced of Mah-chow Wong's guilt, zealously and successfully exerted himself to bring him to justice. Mr. Caldwell, on the other hand, (who had been for years the steady supporter of Mah-chow Wong) expressed himself satisfied of his innocence, and exerted himself with equal zeal in his behalf, both before and after his conviction. He denounced Mr. May's exertions in the opposite direction as persecution of an innocent man, and resented them as personal to himself, attributing them to jealousy on Mr. May's part at his (Mr. Caldwell's) having been repeatedly able to obtain, through Mah-chow Wong, information for the Government which Mr. May had failed to procure.\n\nTo this disagreement could be traced all the incrimination and recrimination which subsequently took place between these two Officials, and which, pursued as it was with considerable acrimony, resulted in their private affairs being on several occasions unnecessarily and improperly dragged before the public. Under these circumstances it appeared to the Council unnecessary to enter into any investigation as to the extent of the \"unfriendly animus\" with which any one of these subsequent proceedings was conducted, but they considered it fair to Mr. May to record that Mr. Caldwell appears to have been the assailant in the first instance, and to have commenced by a most unjustifiable attack upon Mr. May in the matter of Attai's Brothel.",

It is right that I should exonerate his Grace the Duke of Newcastle for this supercession, it having taken place during the rule of his Grace's predecessor. In a letter from me to Lord Stanley, dated 19th July, 1858, I applied for the appointment of Governor of Singapore, on a vacancy occurring; the reply to this letter came from Sir Bulwer Lytton, then Secretary of State for the Colonies, couched in these words (No. 43 of 1st October, 1858):-\n\n\"You will inform Colonel Caine that I am aware of the value of the services rendered by him during the long and continuous period of his connection with Hong Kong, and that these will not fail to receive due weight in the event of any arrangement being adopted which would involve his removal from the office which he holds in that colony.\"\n\nOther despatches referring to and acknowledging my services from the Colonial Office are in existence: one was No. 22 of 26th March, 1859. I was instructed by the Colonial Office, in the aforesaid despatch, to send in a Memorial of my services for pension, and, not being a free agent, obedience was imperative, as is shown by my reply 91, of 20th May, 1859, herewith attached.\n\nIt was my duty to obey, and I did so; and I state this fact to show that the act itself was compulsory, but the pension, though full and adequate, has not removed the sting attached to the unjust supercession, or in the remotest manner nullified the stigma thereby adhering to my character to the end of my days. It appeared as if I were doomed to disgrace, notwithstanding that I have on three several occasions expressed to the Colonial Office my readiness to meet any charge prejudicial to my character that might be exhibited.\n\nOn 21st January, 1861, I applied to his Grace the Duke of Newcastle for re-employment in the Colonial Service, volunteering to go to any part of the world he might be pleased to order me (and since that application I have ventured to name \"Western Australia,\" \"Singapore,\" and even \"Labuan\"), a reply from the Colonial Office, dated 22nd January, 1861, is to this purport:-\"His Grace will bear in mind your wish for re-employment, but there are so many old colonial servants seeking employment at the present time, that his Grace is unable to hold out the expectation of being able speedily to avail himself of your services.\"\n\n5\n\nIt is proper that I should here lay before your Majesty communication of mine to the Duke of Newcastle, of which the following is an extract, dated 9th June, 1860:--\n\n\"Having perused in a recent Gazette of Civil Officers honoured with the dignity of knighthood, commencing with the late Chief Justice of New Zealand, I have to submit my name to your Grace's kind consideration for a similar honour.\" \"The honour I solicit would be a full recognition on the part of our most gracious Sovereign of a career embracing more than forty-six years of continued foreign service.\" The reply of the 13th July, 1860, crushing my hopes, states:-\"The Companionship of the Bath which you solicit is an honour intended to be a recognition of peculiar and distinguished services. His Grace does not consider that the civil services which you have had the opportunity of rendering to the Crown under this Department, however meritorious, would justify him in recommending you for that special mark of the Royal approbation; but it would rest with the Secretary of State for War to consider how far your military services may merit such a reward, if you should think it right to bring those services under his consideration.\"\n\nI beg to observe that I did not apply for the Companionship of the Bath. And I would here remark, for the purpose of showing a precedent, and that, too, without the slightest prejudice to the gallant and distinguished soldier in question, Major-General Sir Edward MacArthur, whilst in command of Her Majesty's Forces in Australia, acted temporarily as Governor during the absence of the latter, and received through the Colonial Office, the honour of a Knight Commander of the Civil Order of the Bath.\n\nOn again addressing the Colonial Office, begging his Grace to grant me an audience, I was informed by letter of 5th December, 1861, that \"The Duke of Newcastle is so very much occupied just now with urgent public business, that he is quite unable to see any one except upon public subjects of an important nature. Under these circumstances, he will not, I fear, be able to grant you an interview; but you need not, I think, be under any apprehension that your name will escape his recollection.” And finally, to the last appeal, the private Secretary intimates on the 2nd February, 1864, that His Grace regrets that he is unable to offer you further employment.\"\n\nIt will thus be evident to my Sovereign, that I am now bereft of all hope of honours or future employment through the Colonial Office, and consequently compelled to throw myself upon the benevolent consideration of your Majesty for that relief otherwise unattainable.

        "content_text": "action more closely to that sanctioned by the Chinese Government in the conduct of Emigration from Chinese Treaty Ports. This would in His Excellency's opinion have been a more judicious because a more practicable object to aim at than the impossible enactment advocated in your Memorial, which by going too far misses that which may be attainable.\n\n17. It would no doubt greatly assist His Excellency in protecting Emigrants, if he possessed a power of prohibiting the Emigration of Coolies from this Port unless the terms of their contracts afforded reasonable cause for considering them fair to the Emigrant, and a uniform form of contract might perhaps be settled on terms more just to the Planters than that adopted by the Peking Convention, which has caused nearly all honest and open Emigration to cease, and has thrown the trade into the hands of unscrupulous parties, who care nothing for the Chinese Government or their Convention, thus actually increasing the evils which it was intended to suppress.\n\n18. It might also be useful that the Governor here should have a power to prevent Emigrant vessels clearing for any Country where there might be reasonable ground for anticipating from past experience that the Emigrant would not meet kindly treatment or receive a fair reward for his labor—or where in fact he would probably be regarded more as a chattel or slave than as a man, possessing rights, which the laws and usages of the Country, to which he was emigrating, would enable him to enforce.\n\n19. His Excellency therefore in transmitting your Memorial has suggested to H. M. Government, that a field for useful inquiry and reform is open in the above direction and in doing so has felt that he was really adopting the means most calculated to advance practically the interests of both laborer and employer, which in all parts of the world have so mutual a dependence on one another that any legislation, which does not take into account what is due to both, can be beneficial to neither.\n\n20. His Excellency further believes that he has thereby adopted the only course open to him for securing the object equally desired by him and by you—namely, the greatest amount of justice and benefit attainable for the Emigrant.\n\nI have the honor to be,\n\nGentlemen,\n\nYour most obedient Servant,\n\n(Signed) Henry B. du Halde,\n\nActing Colonial Secretary.\n\nReturn\n\nof Emigrants from Hongkong to the undermentioned places for the\n\nYears 1861 to 1866 inclusive.\n\n  \n    Years\n    San Francisco\n    Australia\n    Vancouver's Island\n    British West Indies (Hired)\n    Bombay (Hired)\n    Jahili (Hired)\n    Dutch West Indies (Hired)\n    Honolulu (Hired)\n    Borneo (Hired)\n    Labuan (Hired)\n    Java\n  \n  \n    \n    Adults children\n    Adults children\n    Adults Children\n    Adults children\n    Adults children\n    Adults children\n    Adults children\n    Adults children\n    Adults children\n    Adults children\n    Adults children\n  \n  \n    1861\n    7096 622\n    264\n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n  \n  \n    1862\n    7266 264\n    977\n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n  \n  \n    1863\n    7169 3\n    146 2\n    $40\n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n  \n  \n    1864\n    2929\n    112\n    851\n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n  \n  \n    1865\n    9501\n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n  \n  \n    1866\n    2130\n    4146\n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n  \n  \n    Total\n    \n    \n    \n    29091 895\n    511 15\n    709s\n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n  \n  \n    \n    Male\n    12379\n    \n    102\n    1970\n    24\n    1416\n    561\n    1337\n    698\n    356/2017\n  \n  \n    \n    \n    6\n    \n    197 9\n    \n    62\n    \n    594/20528\n    \n    58\n    \n  \n  \n    \n    \n    105 39\n    \n    18 2\n    \n    436\n    \n    48\n    \n    7553\n    \n  \n  \n    \n    -56-3872\n    \n    765\n    \n    16 27\n    \n    2870\n    \n    1033\n    \n    950/32945\n  \n  \n    \n    67997 13\n    \n    62\n    \n    105 39\n    \n    18 2\n    \n    436\n    \n    2436\n  \n  \n    \n    30.247\n    \n    7117\n    \n    1581\n    \n    417/112\n    \n    2370\n    \n    1035\n  \n  \n    \n    1295½\n    \n    782\n    \n    You\n    \n    62\n    \n    1541\n    \n    \n  \n  \n    Total of Adults leaving as hired laborers\n    10.306½\n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n  \n  \n    Grand Total of Adults leaving Hongkong from 1861 to 1866 inclusive\n    49,251 ½\n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n  \n  \n    As women\n    Aston\n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n  \n  \n    Harbor Master & Emigration Officer\n    138.945\n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n  \n  \n    Total of Adults paying their own passages\n    2 Children are equal to one adult.\n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n  \n\nChong Khung\n\nJuly 9th 1867.",

The following items are from the Japan Times:—\n\nWe are still unable to give the name of the new port on the West coast. We are glad to find that our fear that Tsurunga would be chosen was unfounded; the foreign Ministers have expressed themselves strongly against it. The Serpent, one of H.B.M.'s surveying ships, is now engaged examining all the apparently eligible harbours on the West coast, and some weeks must necessarily elapse before Captain Bullock can make his report.\n\nOur news from Osaka are by no means satisfactory; they augur anything but ease for the Shingoon and peace for the empire. Consequently, unless existing difficulties can be previously arranged, we cannot anticipate much advantage for ourselves when the ports are opened next year. The combination of Daimios against the Shiogoon, to which we alluded last mail, we have now ascertained to be an actual and threatening reality. They very naturally object to the extension of a trade in which they have no share, and the profits from which only strengthen an able and dangerous rival, whom they shrewdly suspect of a design to become their absolute master.\n\nIt appears that Osaka not being strictly his own port, the Shiogoon, by taking the responsibility of promising that it shall be opened in 1868, has so far committed himself that the Daimios opposed to him have just ground of complaint that they had not been previously consulted. They carefully avoided giving him any opportunity of consulting them, it must be remarked, by steadily refusing to attend the conference which he has repeatedly endeavoured to assemble for the purpose. They declare that Osaka shall not be opened, unless foreign trade is also permitted at certain points in their own dominions, and Satsuma, Chiosiu, Echizen, Tosa, and Kanga have declared that if Osaka be opened in 1868, they will themselves invite foreigners to trade at their own ports. It is difficult to say how this can be prevented with any show of right, and very easy to see that much evil will result from the fulfilment of their threat. Subjects of Powers having treaties with the Shiogoon can be punished for trading at any of his ports not opened by those treaties, but at ports out of his territory, and where his authority is not acknowledged, we can see nothing to prevent traders doing whatever business they can, particularly when specially invited by the Sovereign of that country.\n\nOn the other hand, foreign Powers will certainly never make a number of separate treaties with these individual Daimios, and, consequently, foreign traders repairing to their ports would have to do so on their own responsibility, and would be without the inestimable advantage of consular protection. Probably business trade, by means of coasting vessels, supercargos, and receiving ships, a system the evils and inconveniences of which are manifest. The development of the Japan trade has been so...\n\n#### PASSENGERS OUTWARD.\n\nPer P. and O. steamer Euxine, from Southampton, August 4-To Shanghai: Mrs. Algernon Wright and child.

        "content_text": "## THE LONDON AND CHINA TELEGRAPH\n\n### Aug. 13, 1867\n\nMr. Edward Holdsworth contains, in addition to pro forma invoices and account sales of silk shipped to London, the cost per lb. of China raw and waste silk laid down in London at 58. 6d. to 73. 5d. per tael exchange for raw, and 5s. to 7s. 6d. for waste. The cost per picul of raw silk is calculated in these tables at 200 to 800 taels, and of waste at 5 to 64 taels.\n\nMuch is said in our papers about the losses involved by the Insurance societies during the last year, so that most of them are not able to pay a dividend, whilst some have lost a good part of their capital. It is of too much interest that I should not reproduce what is said about it in a small local paper, because it is worthy to be known generally that during the last year the \"Javasche Zee en Brand Assurantie Maatschappij\" lost its reserve fund and 50,000f. of its capital; the \"Bataviasche Zee en Brand Assurantie Maatschappij\" lost 50,000f. of its capital of 180,000f; the \"Koloniale Zee en Brand Assurantie Maatschappij\" lost its reserve fund; the \"Tweede Koloniale Zee en Brand Assurantie Maatschappij\" (established last year) lost 61,000f.; and the \"Oosterling\" (established last year) 30,760f. of its capital. The very unsatisfactory result of the companies who are represented here is due to the fact that they accept too great risks and insure too large sums upon the several ships.\n\nWe notice that the \"Teping\" was the first of the tea clippers to pass Anjer. She left Foochow on the 3rd June, and passed Anjer on the 21st. The \"Maitland\" sailed two days after her, and the \"Serica\" passed Anjer on the 27th, four days after the \"Maitland\".\n\n### THE CIVIL SERVICE.-Foreign-office\n\nMr. H. B. Bristow has been appointed student interpreter in China or Japan. The Queen has been graciously pleased to appoint William Graham Sandford, Esq., now a Third Secretary, to be a Second Secretary in Her Majesty's Diplomatic Service.\n\n### Parliamentary Intelligence\n\n#### HOUSE OF LORDS\n\n##### POSTAL COMMUNICATIONS\n\n(Aug. 9th.) The Duke of MONTROSE: I beg to lay upon the table a postal convention between this country and the United States, under which the postage between the two countries would be reduced from one shilling to sixpence. We hope that, in addition to this reduction, we shall have a more frequent communication with America; and I have little doubt that in a short time we shall arrive at what, perhaps, we never could have expected—a daily communication with the United States. By means of this convention, we shall also be able to reduce very considerably the postage to Canada. The letters to Canada passing through the United States will be reduced from one shilling to eightpence. We shall also have an opportunity of facilitating the communication with the new colony of British Columbia. We shall be enabled to send letters there in a much shorter time than by the present route by the Isthmus of Panama, and at a very much reduced cost.\n\nI think your lordships will consider that these arrangements will be satisfactory to the country at large. I must say that the United States Government have acted with the greatest cordiality and with the greatest anxiety to facilitate all these communications. (Hear.) I am anxious to take this opportunity of making some remarks on the subject of our postal arrangements with India and China. After long consideration of the subject, a committee of your lordships' House recommended the Government to give notice for the termination of the existing contracts for the purpose of having fresh tenders and a more frequent communication with India. It was proposed that we should have a weekly mail to Bombay, and that a mail should proceed by railway from Bombay to Calcutta and Madras.\n\nWe have followed out the recommendations of the committee. We have given notice to terminate the existing contracts, and advertised for tenders for future contracts to run mails from Marseilles to Alexandria, and from Alexandria to Bombay, China, and Australia. But a very curious idea has got into the public mind on the subject, and it has been alluded to in the other House of Parliament, and in many of the newspapers—namely, that in following out the recommendations of the committee, we intended to give up the control of the postal communication with India, and to throw it entirely into the hands of foreign Governments. This is most entirely and gratuitously a mistake. Such an idea never entered into my mind, or into that of any other member of the Government; and the only ground for it could be that in giving notice for tenders, we did not put into them that we would not contract with any foreign Government.\n\nFrom that, people have taken the idea that we were to contract with the Messageries Imperiales and give up the control of the communication by our own vessels. In the committee of the House of Commons, it was suggested that we should avail ourselves of the Messageries Imperiales in several cases, and even that we should throw it into their hands if they offered a cheaper service than our own countrymen. That is wrong, but I do not say that we shall not under some circumstances avail ourselves of that company, and at present, we send some letters on their way to China by their boats. But these are only supplementary arrangements associated with the boats under our own control. To throw everything into the hands of any foreign country would be extremely impolitic, even though in the first instance, it might enable us to perform the service cheaper.\n\n**COMMERCIAL**\n\n### COFFEE\n\nThe market remains in a very good position, because there was more demand for consumption. For Malang coffee of the last sale of the Dutch Trading Company, somewhat higher prices were paid; the quality was very inferior. Of private imports, white, yellow, and brown sorts are very scarce.\n\n| Type | Quantity | Price |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Ordinary to good ordinary greenish, some brownish, ex Kandeish | 800 bags | different prices |\n| Good ordinary greenish, ex Kandeish | 800 bags | different prices |\n\nImported were 8,144 piculs Java, ex Triton; 1,034 piculs, per Eva Johanna; and 2,612 piculs, ex Landbouw.\n\n### SUGAR (RAW)\n\nThe 38,924 baskets Java which were sold by the Dutch Trading Company on the 24th ultimo realised full May prices for brown and yellow sorts, and f. to under them for white quality. For the result of the sale, a very good impression was made upon the demand, which has been very firm since. Of private imports, 8,500 baskets were sold before and after the sale, of which 3,500 per Eva Johanna at full July prices to f. higher.\n\n| Quantity | Price |\n| --- | --- |\n| 2,221 baskets Java, ex Triton | 293f. No. 11, damp and very damp |\n\nThe unsold stock of Java at the Dutch Trading Company was on the 1st inst. 28,825 baskets, against 49,854 in 1866.\n\n### Continental Intelligence\n\n#### HOLLAND\n\n(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)\n\nAbout the new Minister of the Colonial Department, a deep silence prevails now in the press, only the \"Arnhemsche Courant\" said that Mr. Hasselman accepted the portfolio with the condition that again an Indian ground-rent Bill should be brought in Parliament, whilst in this Bill should be stipulated that the right of possession should be granted to the natives. The assertion may more or less be true, but I cannot warrant it. The same paper also told that the Minister of the War Department has the intention to augment the militia with 25,000 soldiers, so that the budget of war will be brought from 13 to 20 millions.\n\n#### TEA\n\nThe market is unaltered; the quotation is for China Congou, Sloe., 175c.; and for Java do., 65c. to 75c., according to the quality.\n\n#### RICE\n\nThe market is very firm; of uncleaned, 1,896 b. Sourabaya, ex Maassluis were sold at Amsterdam at a little above 8f., and here, 2,500 b. Rangoon Floating, per d'Elmina, at 7f., and 1,000 b. at 7§f.\n\n| Shipment | Quantity | Price |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Rangoon per New Brunswick | 10,200 b. | - |\n| Basscin per John Allen | 9,800 b. | - |\n| Landbouw | 3,000 piculs | - |\n| Eva Johanna | 1,000 b. | - |\n\n#### SPICES\n\nFirm; Nutmegs No. 1, 96c.; No. 2, 86c. to 87c.; Mace D, 108c.; Cloves No. 2, 29c.; Java Cinnamon No. 3, 136c., but cannot be bought now under 140c.; the stock is very insignificant.\n\n| Type | Quantity | Price |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Pepper, Sumatra ex Aletta Augusta | 745 b. | different prices |\n\nThe deliveries in July were as follows: 84 casks Nutmegs, 28 do. Mace, 10 b. Cloves, and 24 b. Cinnamon.\n\n#### TOBACCO\n\nOf Java, the following imports took place: per Surat, 240 ...\n\n#### INDIGO\n\nFor Java, there was much demand, some lots good to fine were sold at higher prices; ordinary quality sells very difficult.\n\n#### COTTON\n\nWith some demand for export; 300 b. were sold at 45c. for middling fair, Dhollerah at 46c. to 47c. for fair, and 49c. for good fair.\n\n#### MANUFACTURES\n\nThe market is unaltered, and the quotation is for 6) Madapollans and Calicoes 5f. to £5.10 each; No 28 Warps, 14jd.; No 14, 13d.; No. 80, Cops, 13l.; No. 16 do., 12d.\n\n#### TIN\n\nFor Banca, the market is quiet; the quotation is 53f. to 52½f; Billiton is quoted 52½f. 100 slabs were sold at 58¼f; and 800 slabs at 58¾f.\n\n#### RATTANS\n\n153,460 b. at auction by the Dutch Trading Company, on the 1st inst., were sold as follows:\n\n| Type | Price |\n| --- | --- |\n| Banjermassing | f.5. to f.8.60 |\n| Padang | 6. to 12.70 |\n| Koetie | +4 to 7.20 |\n\n#### MISCELLANEOUS\n\nOf Preserved Ginger, 350 chests China will be offered for sale; the valuation is from 85c. to 90c. Camphor, firm, but quiet. Cassia Lignea, quiet. Cassia Vera: With some transactions at 35c. for ordinary quality. Cassia-oil: 44f.\n\n### RUSSIA, GERMANY, &c.\n\n(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)\n\n#### HAMBURG, Aug. 7\n\nThe endeavours of Mr. August Behn to emancipate the German and other Continental shipowners from the thraldom of the French Bureau Veritas by the establishment of a \"Germanic Lloyd's\"—of which I gave your readers some account a few months ago—have been crowned with the most signal success, and the full concurrence of the shipowners and underwriters in Bremen and Lubeck, in the Baltic ports and in Denmark, Sweden, Price and the company's agents in the East; also a statement of accounts, and Norway.\n\nThe Association has declared itself \"constituted,\" and is in full operation. The central seat is Hamburg, with branches at the principal ports. The following is a list of the directors: August Behn, J. D. H. ELPHINSTONE,? Shipowner, Hamburg, President: F. H. Bitter, Managing Director of the Hamburg Marine Assurance Company of 1866. Vice-President; A. Beel, Managing Director of the Marine Assurance Company of 1859 at Lubeck; F. Harkort, formerly Captain in the Army, Knight of the Iron Cross of Bravery, Hornbrack, near Dortmund; Franz Paetow, Shipowner, Rostock; Fr. Schuler, Shipbuilder, Stettin; and R. Werner, Captain in the Prussian Royal Navy, and Director of the Royal Dockyard at Danzig.\n\nThe report of the Electric and International Telegraph Company, presented on the 7th inst., shows an available balance of £68,995, and recommends a dividend of 5 per cent. for the half-year, or at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum.\n\n### COMMERCIAL\n\nOn the whole, the produce markets have been quiet since last mail, and there is but little to report. Rice firm. Cassia Lignea continues in good demand, at 11 sch. beo. Pepper is more in request, and among the transactions were 1,500 bags of Singapore, at 3 5-16ths sch. bco. The holders of Spelter will not listen to lower offers, and steadily adhere to their demands of 133 marks banco, both for delivery and in loco.\n\n### SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE\n\n#### ARRIVED\n\n* Grossvater, from Java\n\n#### LOADING\n\n* Padel, for Singapore and Penang\n* Isabelita, for Manila\n* Aldebaran and Energie, for Hong Kong\n* Saturnus, for Shanghai\n* Christine, for Nagasaki and Yokohama\n\n### BANK AND MISCELLANEOUS SHARES\n\n| Company | Paid | Price Aug. 9 | Price Aug. 11 |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Agra Bank, A shares | All | 26 to 28 | - |\n| Do.

No Ship shall clear out or proceed to Sea unless the Master thereof shall have received from an Emigration Officer a Copy of this Ordinance, for which a Fee of $1 shall be payable, and a Certificate in the Form contained in `Schedule C` annexed thereto, nor until the Master shall have entered into the Bond prescribed by Section IV. of the \"Chinese Passengers' Act, 1855.\"\n\nII. No Emigration Officer shall be bound to give such Certificate till Seven Days after receiving an Application in Writing for the same from the Owners or Charterers of the Ship, or if absent, from their respective Agents, specifying the Name of the Ship, her Tonnage, the Number of Passengers intended to be carried, the Port of Destination and the proposed Day of Departure.\n\nIII. After receiving such Application, the Emigration Officer and any Person authorized by him in that Behalf shall be at liberty at all Times to enter and inspect the Ship, and the Fittings, Provisions and Stores therein, and any Person impeding such Entry or Inspection, or refusing to allow of the same, shall be liable to a Fine not exceeding $100 for each Offence.\n\nIV. The following Conditions as to the Accommodation of Passengers shall be observed to the Satisfaction of the Emigration Officer:-\n\n1. The Space appropriated to the Passengers between Decks shall be properly ventilated, and shall contain at the least 9 superficial and 54 cubical Feet of space for every Adult on board; that is to say, for every Passenger above Twelve Years of Age, and for every Two Passengers between the Ages of One and Twelve Years. The Height between Decks shall be at least Six Feet.\n\n2. The Accommodation for Female Passengers between Decks shall be separate from that provided for Male Passengers.\n\n3. A Space of Four superficial Feet per Adult shall be left clear on the upper Deck for the Use of the Passengers.\n\n4. A reasonable Space shall be set apart properly divided and fitted up as a Sick Bay, and sufficient Latrines both as to Condition and Number shall be provided in suitable Parts of the Ship.\n\nV. The Emigration Officer may, in his Discretion, permit Deck Passengers to be carried, upon such Conditions, as may from Time to Time be prescribed under Instructions from one of Her Majesty's Principal Secretaries of State, and until and subject to such Instructions, upon the Conditions following: -\n\n1. A suitable Awning with Screens shall be provided on Deck, sufficient for the Protection of the Passengers from the Sun and from Rain.\n\n2. The Space appropriated to such Deck Passengers shall contain at the least Sixteen superficial Feet for every Adult, that is to say, for every Passenger above Twelve Years of Age, and for every Two Passengers between the Ages of One and Twelve.\n\n3. In Case Deck Passengers shall be carried in Addition to other Passengers for whom Accommodation between Decks shall be provided, the Space to be appropriated for Deck Passengers shall be reckoned exclusively of the Space of Four superficial Feet per Adult required to be left clear on the Upper Deck for the Use of such other Passengers.\n\nVI. The following Conditions as to Provisions shall be observed to the Satisfaction of the Emigration Officer:-\n\n1. Provisions, Fuel and Water shall be placed on board of good Quality, properly packed and sufficient for the Use and Consumption of the Passengers, over and above the Victualling of the Crew during the intended Voyage, according to the following Scale:\n\n| Item | Quantity per Passenger per diem |\n| --- | --- |\n| Rice or Bread Stuffs | not less than 1 lbs. |\n| Dried Salt Fish | 1 oz. |\n| Chinese Condiments and Curry Stuff | 1 lbs. |\n| Fresh Vegetables | 1 |\n| Fire wood |  |\n| Water (to be carried in Tanks or sweet Casks) | 1 gallon |\n\n2. The last preceding Condition as to Provisions shall be deemed to have been complied with, in any Case where by the Special Authority of the Emigration Officer, any other Articles of Food shall have been substituted for the Articles enumerated in the foregoing Scale, as being equivalent thereto.\n\n3. The Passengers may supply their own Provisions for the Voyage and proper Accommodation for the Stowage, and sufficient Cabooses for the Cooking of such Provisions must be allowed.\n\n4. When the Ship shall be destined to call at any Port mentioned in the Emigration Officer's Clearing Certificate for fresh Water or Provisions, a Supply of fresh Water and Provisions according to the Scale hereinbefore contained for every Day of the average Voyage to such Port shall, unless the Emigration Officer shall otherwise direct, be deemed to be in compliance with this Ordinance.\n\nVII. The Emigration Officer shall not give his Certificate unless he shall be satisfied :-\n\n1. That the Ship is sea-worthy, and properly manned, equipped, fitted, and ventilated, and has not on board any Cargo likely, from its Quality, Quantity, or Mode of Stowage, to prejudice the Health or Safety of the Passengers.\n\n2. That Suitable Medicines and Medical Stores, Provisions, Fuel and Water have been placed on board, of good Quality, properly packed and sufficient in Quantity to supply the Passengers on board during the intended Voyage.\n\n3. That all the Requirements of this Ordinance have been complied with.\n\nVIII. The Emigration Officer shall not give his Certificate until he shall have mustered the Passengers, and have ascertained to the best of his Power that they understand whither they are going, and in Case they shall have made any Contracts of Service that they comprehend the Nature thereof; he shall also take Care that a Copy of the Form of any such Contracts, or an Abstract of their Substance, signed by himself, is appended to the said Certificate: If any of the Passengers are in bad Health, or insufficiently provided with Clothing, or if any such Contracts are unfair, or if there is Reason to suspect that Fraud or Violence have been practised in their Collection or Embarcation, he may detain the Ship, and if he shall think fit, may order all or any of the Passengers to be re-landed.\n\nIX. The Emigration Officer may, if he shall think fit, before granting his Certificate, employ any duly qualified Medical Practitioner, Master Mariner, or Marine Surveyor, or other Person whose Professional Assistance and Advice he may require for the Purpose of ascertaining whether the Requirements of this Ordinance have been duly complied with, and the Costs and Charges of obtaining such Assistance and Advice, shall be defrayed by the Owners or Charterers of the Ship, whether the Emigration Officer shall grant his Certificate or not.\n\nX. The Emigration Officer shall from Time to Time fix a reasonable Scale of Fees and Charges to be approved by one of Her Majesty's Principal Secretaries of State, for the Remuneration of any Professional Persons who may be employed by him under the last preceding Regulation, and pending the Approval or Disapproval of such Scale, the Fees and Charges therein specified shall be payable, as if the same had been approved in Manner aforesaid.\n\nXI. The Owners or Charterers of every Ship shall pay such Fees for the Remuneration of the Emigration Officer, as may from Time to Time be ordered under Instructions from one of Her Majesty's Principal Secretaries of State, and until and subject to such Instructions, the following Fees shall be payable in Addition to all Fees chargeable under Regulation X:\n\n| Occasion | Fee |\n| --- | --- |\n| Upon the Application for a Certificate | $25 |\n| Upon the Granting of the Certificate | $25 |\n\nXII. In Case Default shall be made by the Owners or Charterers of the Ship in the Payment of any Fees and Charges to which they may be liable under this Ordinance, the Ship may be detained by the British Consul, or if in Hongkong by the Governor, until such Fees and Charges shall have been paid.\n\nXIII. The Emigration Officer may withhold his Certificate or revoke the same at any Time before the Departure of the Ship, if it shall appear to his Satisfaction that any Particulars contained in the Application in Writing which shall have been made for the same or any other Particulars which may have been furnished to him by or on Behalf of the Owners, Charterers or Master of the Ship in relation thereto, are untrue, and that the Conditions of this Ordinance have not been complied with; and in every such Case it shall be lawful for the British Consul, or if in Hongkong for the Governor, to seize and detain the Ship until the Certificate if already granted, shall have been delivered up to be cancelled.\n\nXIV. The Master of every British Ship shall, during the whole of the intended Voyage, make Issues of Provisions, Fuel and Water, according to the aforesaid Dietary Scale, to all the Passengers except such as shall have supplied themselves therewith, and shall not make any Alteration except for the manifest Advantage of the Passengers, in respect of the Space allotted to them as aforesaid, or in respect of the Means of Ventilation, and shall not ill-use the Passengers, or require them (except in Case of Necessity) to help in working the Vessel; and shall issue Medicines and Medical Comforts, as shall be requisite, to the best of his Judgment, and shall call at such Ports as may be mentioned in the Emigration Officer's Clearing Certificate for fresh Water and other Necessaries; and shall carry the Passengers without unnecessary Delay to the Destination to which they have contracted to proceed.\n\nXV. The Master of every British Ship shall within 24 Hours after his Arrival at the Port of Destination and at any Port of Call, produce his Emigration Papers to the British Consul (if any) at such Port or in Case such Port shall be in Her Majesty's Dominions to any Officer appointed or authorized by the Local Government in that behalf. It shall be lawful for such Consul or other Officer to enter and inspect such Ship, and in Case the Master shall obstruct or refuse to assist him in the Discharge of such Duty, or shall without reasonable Cause fail to produce his Emigration Papers as aforesaid, he shall be liable to a Fine of $500, and the Ship may be detained by the British Consul, or if in Her Majesty's Dominions, by the Local Government, until such Fine shall have been paid, and the Emigration Papers shall have been given up.\n\nXVI.

The number of vessels entered at the ports in the Colony of Hongkong from each country in the year 1870 is as follows:\n\n## Number, Tonnage, and Crews of Vessels ENTERED at Ports in the Colony of Hongkong from each Country, in the Year 1870\n\n| COUNTRIES WHENCE ARRIVED | BRITISH | FOREIGN | TOTAL |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n|  | Vessels Tons Crews | Vessels Tons Crews | Vessels Tons Crews |\n| Great Britain | 97 84,458 2,818 | 1 422 21 | 98 84,880 2,839 |\n| Continent of Europe | 2 1,814 80 | 16 19,790 777 | 18 21,604 857 |\n| United States | ... ... ... | 24 7,796 297 | 24 7,796 297 |\n| Australia and New Zealand | 20 2,181 101 | 1 201 8 | 21 2,382 109 |\n| India and Singapore | 384 59,101 2,241 | 125 45,057 1,528 | 509 104,158 3,769 |\n| Siam | ... ... ... | 9 3,395 173 | 9 3,395 173 |\n| Phillipine Islands | ... ... ... | 2 1,759 81 | 2 1,759 81 |\n| Japan | ... ... ... | 49 49,161 2,911 | 49 49,161 2,911 |\n| South America | ... ... ... | 36 24,001 1,080 | 36 24,001 1,080 |\n| Amoor River | ... ... ... | 2 175 9 | 2 175 9 |\n| Sandwich Islands | ... ... ... | 1 8,970 196 | 1 8,970 196 |\n| West Indies | ... ... ... | ... ... ... | ... ... ... |\n| South Pacific | ... ... ... | 12 9,378 247 | 12 9,378 247 |\n| Macao | 632 76,864 29,765 | 181 86,202 4,816 | 813 163,066 34,581 |\n| Coast of China and Formosa | 632 876,864 29,765 | 181 86,202 4,816 | 813 163,066 34,581 |\n| TOTAL | 1,824 789,576 56,926 | 1,590 208,314 16,540 | 3,414 997,890 73,466 |\n\n6. To this Report I have appended a Comparative Statement of the Trade of the Colony during the several years I have been connected with Hongkong.\n\n5. Of the ships of different Nations arriving at this Port, it will be seen that there is a marked increase in those under the British Flag, consisting of 133 Vessels and 161,520 Tons. The Number and Tonnage of Vessels under the French and American Flags have also increased, whilst those under the North-German Flag, in consequence of the War, have 87 vessels with 26,148 tons less than in the previous year.\n\n7. Some idea can be formed of the necessity for having increased the number of Employés in the Department when it is seen that the Total of Arrivals and Departures, combined, in 1870, is 62,534 Vessels and 5,864,514 Tons as against 2,179 Vessels and 1,164,640 Tons in 1859, or 2,771 per cent more Vessels and 403 per cent more Tons.\n\n8. In my last Report on this subject, I attributed the then falling off of this Trade to the effect of the \"Harbor and Coasts' Ordinance, 1866\" was introduced. But certain it is, that Trade in native bottoms has increased, and now stands at its highest since its introduction.\n\n9. The former opponents of this measure, it is to be hoped, will now rest satisfied that its anticipated baneful effects have not been realised, but that on the contrary, the general trade of the Colony, whether Native or Foreign, is in a highly healthy condition, and Piracy, once so rife in these waters and their neighborhood, is now seldom, if ever, heard of.\n\n10. Under this heading, there is a sensible decrease, amounting to 3,460 men, 1,549 women,  boys and 80 girls.\n\n11. The opposition evinced in the United States of America to the introduction of Chinese labor is having its effect, whether for good or evil remains to be seen.\n\n12. Emigration under Contract is at present prohibited at Hongkong, except to British Possessions, but to these the restrictions and difficulties are so great, that only 70 Chinese left Labuan, during the year.\n\n## Number, Tonnage, and Crews of Vessels CLEARED at Ports in the Colony of Hongkong for each Country, in the Year 1870\n\n| COUNTRIES TO WHICH DEPARTED | BRITISH | FOREIGN | TOTAL |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n|  | Vessels Tons Crews | Vessels Tons Crews | Vessels Tons Crews |\n| Great Britain | 21 20,758 709 | 3 918 44 | 24 21,676 753 |\n| Continent of Europe | 3 3,446 256 | 12 5,485 191 | 15 8,931 447 |\n| United States | ... ... ... | 71 84,801 1,270 | 71 84,801 1,270 |\n| Australia and New Zealand | 98 100,548 7,440 | 2 678 23 | 100 101,226 7,463 |\n| India and Singapore | 67 37,288 1,144 | 8 2,544 161 | 75 39,832 1,305 |\n| Siam | ... ... ... | ... ... ... | ... ... ... |\n| Phillipine Islands | ... ... ... | ... ... ... | ... ... ... |\n| Java and other Islands in Indian Archipelago | 109 68,438 2,809 | 41 23,445 1,857 | 150 91,883 4,666 |\n| Japan | ... ... ... | 50 50,220 2,288 | 50 50,220 2,288 |\n| South America | ... ... ... | 98 60,226 2,852 | 98 60,226 2,852 |\n| Amoor River | ... ... ... | ... ... ... | ... ... ... |\n| Sandwich Islands | ... ... ... | ... ... ... | ... ... ... |\n| Cape of Good Hope | ... ... ... | ... ... ... | ... ... ... |\n| South Pacific | ... ... ... | 26 1,038 50 | 26 1,038 50 |\n| North Pacific | ... ... ... | ... ... ... | ... ... ... |\n| British North America | ... ... ... | ... ... ... | ... ... ... |\n| Macao | 1,187 658,028 53,866 | 384 170,912 6,411 | 1,571 828,940 60,277 |\n| Coast of China and Formosa | 1,187 658,028 53,866 | 384 170,912 6,411 | 1,571 828,940 60,277 |\n| TOTAL | 1,914 291,770 47,980 | 1,521 824,570 60,277 | 3,435 1,116,340 108,257 |\n\nI have the honor to be,\nSir,\nYour most obedient Servant,\n**Se.

        "content_text": "## Report on the Trade and Navigation of Hongkong for the Year 1870\n\n6. To this Report I have appended a Comparative Statement of the Trade of the Colony during the several years I have been connected with Hongkong.\n\n5. Of the ships of different Nations arriving at this Port, it will be seen that there is a marked increase in those under the British Flag, consisting of 133 Vessels and 161,520 Tons. The Number and Tonnage of Vessels under the French and American Flags have also increased, whilst those under the North-German Flag, in consequence of the War, have 87 vessels with 26,148 tons less than in 1869.\n\n### Vessels' Movements\n\nSome idea can be formed of the necessity for having increased the number of Employés in the Department when it is seen that the Total of Arrivals and Departures, combined, in 1870, is 6,257 Vessels and 5,864,514 Tons as against 2,179 Vessels and 1,164,640 Tons in 1859, or 2,771 per cent more Vessels and 403 per cent more Tons are registered now than in the year brought forward for purposes of comparison.\n\n### Junk Trade\n\n9. The former opponents of this measure, it is to be hoped, will now rest satisfied that its anticipated baneful effects have not been realised, but that on the contrary, the general trade of the Colony, whether Native or Foreign, is in a highly healthy condition, and Piracy, once so rife in these waters and their neighborhood, is now seldom, if ever, heard of. But certain it is, that Trade in native bottoms has increased, and now stands at its highest since the \"Harbor and Coasts' Ordinance, 1866\" was introduced.\n\n8. In my last Report on this subject, I attributed the then falling off of this Trade to the effect of the Customs Stations in the vicinity of the Colony. Whether it is that the Officers in charge of them are less zealous in the performance of their duties, or that brighter days have dawned on the Commercial prosperity of the Colony, I am unable to say, beyond, that the latter would seem probable.\n\n### Emigration\n\n10. Under this heading, there is a sensible decrease, amounting to 3,460 men, 1,549 women, 204 boys and 80 girls.\n\n12. Emigration under Contract is at present prohibited at Hongkong, except to British Possessions, but to these the restrictions and difficulties are so great, that only 70 Chinese left, for Labuan, during the year.\n\n11. The opposition evinced in the United States of America to the introduction of Chinese labor is having its effect, whether for good or evil remains to be seen.\n\nThe Honorable J. GARDINER AUSTIN,\nColonial Secretary, &c., &c.\n\nI have the honor to be,\nSir,\nYour most obedient Servant,\nH. G.

The case commenced on the 18th September, and judgment was rendered on the 27th. Mr. F. V. Dickins, Barrister-at-law, appeared for the plaintiff; Mr. Davidson, barrister, appeared for the defendants. The Court gave judgment in favour of the defendants.\n\nIt is not the intention of Government to allow foreigners to lease residences in the city of Yedo. All those who were granted permission are notified that they cannot remain longer than one month from date, and are required to return to Tsukiji.\n\nThe Consuls have just been notified of an important departmental change. All claims of a judicial character, instead of being as heretofore addressed to the Chiji of the Kanagawa Ken, are now to be sent to Mr. Nishi Naromori, Shio Chiu Hanji, the President of the Judicial Department of this ken, which from this date will exist as a separate department. Mr. Hill is appointed its legal adviser, and Mr. Wills to act as interpreter in conjunction with two native interpreters.\n\nIt is some time since Yokohama was visited with an earthquake of such unusual violence as that which occurred yesterday morning. The shocks were both lengthy and severe, in one instance knocking several ornaments from a chimney-piece to the floor, and in another, half emptying some fire buckets of their contents.\n\nIt is reported that Mr. Galy has been appointed to the post of interpreter to the Judicial Department, by the Minister of Justice, and Mr. Ribérolles as principal of the newly-established Law College.\n\nFire-rio kinsetsu, of the new issue, printed on foreign paper, are already imitated, spurious notes being in circulation. The Government asserts that the paper and engraving are correct, but the ink used for Japanese seals is too light.\n\nMr. English, Consul at Niigata, is about being transferred to Osaka, where he was formerly stationed, recent occurrences in that quarter having rendered such a step expedient.\n\nMr. A. M. Shillingford and Mr. W. A. J. Waters have been appointed assistants in the Okura-sho, to Mr. T. J. Waters, Surveyor-General.\n\nA deputation of sixty persons has arrived at Kagoshima from the King of the Loochoos to the Mikado, and may be expected...",

        "content_text": "268 \n\n8 \n\nOr Her Majesty's Government might take on itself the payment of the like sum to a permanent Consular Chancellor or Head Clerk, resident at Manila, whose nomination might be made either (which would perhaps be better) with the concurrence of the Consul-General himself, as to personal selection, or without it. \n\nSupposing the appointment of such a salaried Chancellor or Head Clerk, £100 a-year added to the personal salary of the Consul-General would, I think, be sufficient. \n\nThe appointment above indicated would have a further advantage—namely, that of supplying a Gerent, or pro-Consul, ready at hand in case of the Consul-General's temporary absence from Manila in the provinces or on leave. This, considering the postal distance from hence to England, the want of telegraphic communication, and other circumstances or casualties, would be very desirable. \n\nFurther, and in special view of the last-mentioned considerations, it would be well that the said Consul-General's written instructions should contain a definite authorization, within suitable limits, of visits, necessary or expedient, to be made by him among the provinces and islands included in his jurisdiction. I should be inclined to think that, special and urgent circumstances apart, it would be at once desirable and sufficient that the Consul-General should visit in person the Vice-Consular ports and the open ports within his jurisdiction, as also any particular point or district regarding which information might appear really and truly worth obtaining in view of the Service, once in the course of every three years. \n\nAgain, it would be very advantageous for the more effective discharge of his duties if the Consul-General were, after nomination and before proceeding to his post, placed in official communication, by instructions from the competent Ministerial Departments, with the Governors of Hong Kong, Labuan, and Singapore respectively. The manifold and intimate connection between Manila, both in its British and Spanish relations, on the one hand, and the three above-named Colonies on the other, is evident, and does not require detailed explanation in the present Report. \n\nLastly, I would venture to suggest, as the most essential qualifications for a Consul-General at Manila, the following three—In view alike of the British and of the Spaniards, he should be, in the full sense of the term, a gentleman; in view of both also, but especially of the latter, discreet; in view of his own efficiency and health in this climate, not over forty years of age, or very little over, at his date of appointment. \n\nI now come to the British Vice-Consulates existing in the Philippines. \n\nIloilo, an important post, and likely to become more so. In no distant future a paid Vice-Consul, or even Consul, may be expedient there; for the present a trading Vice-Consul, with an office allowance of £100 a-year, may be held sufficient, though barely. \n\nCebú is next in rank. A trading Vice-Consul suffices; but I think that many reasons render an office allowance of £50 a-year suitable at that port. \n\nSual, an open and not unimportant port, though for the moment, owing to special circumstances, in a kind of abeyance. I should recommend the continuance of the trading Vice-Consulate there established; the office allowance the same as for Cebú. \n\nI may here make the passing remark that public work is seldom efficiently or even creditably done by one who undertakes to do it wholly and unaided out of his own pocket. \n\nTwo other places require notice in view of the British Consular Service in the Philippines. \n\nOne is Sulu. This having been lately declared by the Spaniards a free port, and having besides a tolerably active trade of its own already established with Manila on the one hand, and with Labuan and Singapore on the other, besides being situated on one of the principal ocean British highways between the China Sea and Australasia, can hardly fail to acquire at no distant period a respectable position on the lists of British trade. \n\nOpposite to it, and at no great distance, is situated, on the south-western extremity of the Island of Mindanao, the open port of Zamboanga; its commercial conditions resembling those of Sulu in almost every respect. \n\nAt one or other of these ports a resident British trading Vice-Consul will, it is almost certain, be soon required; and a yearly office allowance of £50 would be well bestowed there. \n\nThe second point worthy of notice is the open port of Legaspi, commonly called Albay, placed at the south-easterly end of the Island of Luzon. The export of \"abaca,\" or Manila hemp, for which, as I have shown elsewhere, the principal demand is the British, is chiefly carried on from this port. \n\nBritish interests in this port and district are considerable already, and the recent opening of a well-promising coal-mine in the neighbourhood may tend to increase them. \n\nYet, for local reasons, I do not think the appointment of a British Vice-Consul necessary here for the present; but it may prove expedient before long. \n\n## Conclusion \n\nBritish trade and enterprise in the Philippines cannot, while the Islands remain under Spanish administration, expect to rise considerably above their present level, which is, indeed, a high one; but neither need they much fear to sink notably below it. However, as a safeguard to British interests and residents against local and administrative caprice, the British Consular Establishment in the Philippines might, it would seem, be advantageously strengthened, and even, in time and measure, extended. \n\n(Signed) W. Gifford Palgrave \n\nManila, September 29, 1877.",

        "content_text": "## 414 THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 22ND SEPTEMBER, 1877.\n\nHe had with prison discipline. The principles I have laid down are well-established principles; they have been proved almost with the accuracy of a proposition in Euclid, and it is no wonder when those principles were not acted upon, that you have an overflowing gaol, and prison offences increasing in this rapid ratio for the last three years,—426, 1,085, and 2,726.\n\nIt has been asserted that the number of prisoners at present in our gaol is actually greater than in prison; his mind as well as his body is affected: he may be physically altered by prison treatment. There is nothing an Executive can so thoroughly make a greater mistake in than in assuming medical knowledge they cannot be expected to have. The Colonial Surgeon of Hongkong has had experience in other parts of the East, and in his first conversation with me, he told me in connection with his Indian experience that there was not a doctor in India who would for a moment countenance the flogging of Orientals on the back with the cat as was in 1876. Here is a return from the Acting Superintendent, Captain Ducat; I find, according to this return, the total number of Chinese and Coloured prisoners in Hongkong Gaol to-day is 382. What was the number of Chinese and Coloured prisoners at this time last year in the prison? It was 430. That is, however, a matter of small importance. The fact that we have fewer criminals in the gaol to-day than on the 17th of September, 1876, is of itself of little moment, for in the first place, the regulations which I hope ultimately to introduce are, except in some urgent but minor points, not yet in force, and the slight changes I have made are trivial compared to those I will have ultimately to propose.\n\nDr. Ayres made a report of great gravity to me with respect to flogging the Chinese on the back in this Colony. In the gaol hospital, I saw one man, an old man, who had been a long time in prison. This man was pointed out to me by Dr. Ayres as being in hospital for incurable lung disease. I attach no great significance, therefore, to the fact that at this date there happen to be fewer criminals in the gaol than at this time last year. The incurable hæmorrhage of the lungs from which this prisoner suffers is entirely due to those floggings. The Colonial Surgeon assured me that this prisoner had been a tall, strong man when he came into prison; now he is on the edge of the grave. He had been punished twenty-three times, including three floggings.\n\nI have mentioned Captain Ducat, and I had not the honour of his acquaintance beyond that of any other gentleman who may do me the favour of coming to Government House occasionally, but I sent to His Excellency the General commanding the troops and asked him to select from the officers under his command a strict disciplinarian, for I wanted a man of the kind to deal with the gaol until Mr. Tonnochy came out. Dr. Ayres gave it as his professional opinion that in every case where a Chinaman is flogged on the back with the cat, symptoms of congestion of the lungs follow, and he says he is never surprised when that congestion passes away and the man is apparently cured at the time from the effects of the flogging that the same man in a few months comes back to the hospital spitting blood. He drew my attention also to the fact of the scars remaining on their backs for the remainder of their lives, so that when liberated from prison and working on a day like this, their backs are seen, and they are branded amongst whatever honest men they may be among. The prisoner carries such punishment with him to the end of his life. The law never intended that.\n\nWith regard to the branding and deportation of prisoners, such as the branding of fifty prisoners in January last, it is not only opposed to all sound principles of dealing with criminals, but Mr. Douglas, a former Superintendent of the Gaol, had pointed out in a minute to one of my predecessors that the branding of a prisoner on the cheek or the neck had a bad effect, because the Hongkong brand is well known at Canton and at Macao. They know the meaning of that mark; and the consequence is that the branded man is hunted away by all honest people; he cannot get employment; he is rendered for life ineligible as an Emigrant, and he is driven back again to prey on the property of this Colony, because he has no other means of getting a livelihood.\n\nSince I assumed this Government of this Colony, the Visiting Justices have sometimes sentenced prisoners to be flogged for prison offences; in every case, I have approved that flogging, and upon the whole, I have approved, I say it with regret, of something over twenty floggings since my arrival; I say it with regret, because on my left (the Acting Colonial Secretary, Mr. Cecil Smith) drew my attention to what a Secretary of State had written to one of my predecessors. He said an indelible mark on the cheek of a criminal is evidently objectionable as fastening on the delinquent a stigma from which he could never be rescued; it consigns him to permanent infamy. Well, I think it must be admitted there is a good deal in what that Secretary of State—it was the late Lord Derby—said. The views Lord Derby expressed to the Governor of Hongkong were subsequently confirmed by the practical experience of Mr. Douglas, the Superintendent of the Gaol.\n\nMy perusal of the prison archives of this Colony—for not a month has passed for many years without its quota of branded prisoners being deported to the mainland—has convinced me that Lord Derby was right. I think the Chief Justice and others will agree with me that the time has come when we may fairly re-consider this odious part of our prison discipline. Mr. Keswick's views and those of the Police Commission have been carried out, and we have a Police force chiefly of Chinese. Not a deported man comes back now but he is very soon known. Formerly, we had all Europeans and Indians, but they could not distinguish the Chinese prisoners one from another; now the Chinese constables could detect without the branding; and if even in a small number of cases we are to be convinced that it prevents men from obtaining honest employment and drives them back to petty crimes, I think we might give up the branding system.\n\nWithin the last few months, I have received some printed despatches in which reference is made incidentally to the gaol system in the Bahamas. The previous Governor differed with me and thought that the negroes could only be influenced by the lash. He said Europeans, Chinese, or Hindoos might deal with in another way, but not negroes. When I went there, Lord Kimberley said to me, \"I am giving you a troublesome post; owing perhaps to wrecking, crime is excessive.\" I endeavoured to see what could be done, and while I applied with strict severity the laws for the protection of life and property, I endeavoured to rectify the prison discipline. I endeavoured to give the prisoners useful labour and had them informed that the only way in which they could regain their liberty before their full sentence expired was by steady good conduct and hard work. That system was carried out, not my system, but the system of the British Government, the system laid down by the Secretary of State, that you must combine the two things, severe punishment with reformatory training.\n\nWhen I visited the gaol for the first time, I found three, five, and seven prisoners in the same sleeping cells, overcrowded in every way. On making inquiry from Mr. Tomlin, I found that it had been even worse in 1876, when the number of prisoners was larger; during the greater part of that year, the Chinese prisoners had only 190 cubic feet of air allowed for each person in the sleeping cells; the Government having over and over again laid it down that only each prisoner ought not to have less than 600 cubic feet of sleeping space. It might be asked, how comes it to pass that the Government have not noticed this, that you had 190 feet only instead of 600 feet?\n\nIn the Blue Book for 1876, in answer to the usual printed question, which comes out from the Colonial Office, \"How many cubic feet of space are there for each prisoner during the hours of sleep?\"—there is this answer: \"The daily average number of prisoners during 1876 was 432, as against 374 in the previous year; the cubic space for each person was 86·4 feet as against 982 feet in the preceding year.\" But it is not only that. Certain gentlemen excel in explaining that the space of passages and corridors had been included in the estimate.\n\n## 415\n\nGentlemen, I have said that Her Majesty's Government have an extensive experience, and there is no doubt whatever that no greater mistake can be made than to imagine the local knowledge of any place can outweigh the universal experience of Her Majesty's Government in dealing with such matters.\n\nGentlemen, ... \n\nI have not gone into full particulars with respect to what was the result? Not a single lash was applied in the Bahamas from that time, and crime declines, and he adds, I am very happy to say that I have not allowed a single case of flogging. That able Governor has carried out, not my system, but the system laid down by the Secretary of State.\n\nThe best attempt at reformation is to keep the prisoners employed at useful labour and let them understand that remission of imprisonment will depend upon that labour and on steady good conduct. Unfortunately, the opposite experiment was tried here; the gentlemen who framed the Gaol Report laid down that reformation was impossible, but also gave up the idea in toto of anything useful. Has he the opportunity of practising that for the good of the State and himself? No; he leaves this prison probably ignorant of the little he knew before going in.\n\nI made the Labuan prison pay all its expenses; and with this, as I have just said, there was no flogging, and crime declined in the Colony. Within the last few months, I have received some printed despatches... It was only the other day a man was brought up before my honourable friend here (Mr. May), or Mr. Russell, for returning from deportation. The constable said, “I knew the man perfectly well without the branding.” \n\nHaving administered Governments in other parts of the world, I can recollect the fact that during the four years I had to deal with the worst classes of Singapore and Hongkong convicts at Labuan, not a single lash was applied. The sixty Chinese convicts that were sent from Hongkong to Labuan, and the hundred Chinese convicts I got from the Straits Settlement enabled me to study for four years the mode of treating Chinese prisoners. I visited the prison every week. I substituted Chinese Turnkeys for Malay Warders. I made your very worst Hongkong criminals amenable to strict discipline. I found that Chinamen could be made to conduct themselves properly and that it was not hopeless to attempt to improve their moral condition. By the aid of your convict labour...",

These difficulties of level, no less than the want of room, will account for the somewhat close juxtaposition of the buildings and the absence of more capacious airing yards.\n\nThere is no doubt the present Gaol is unfortunately placed. Sir HERCULES ROBINSON's plan of having a convict prison on Stone Cutter's Island would have prevented some of the serious evils of overcrowding and association to which it has been my duty from time to time to refer. Looking however to your Lordship's instructions, I have confined myself to considering such alterations only as may be essential in the existing Gaol in the Town of Victoria.\n\nIn the year 1857, Sir JOHN BOWRING was authorized to transport to Labuan sixty of the worst class of Hongkong criminals. Soon after I arrived at Labuan I applied to the Secretary of State for permission to get a hundred convicts from Singapore. With Sir HARRY ORD's co-operation this was done; and I found the comparatively large number of Chinese convicts I then had to deal with, could be managed without much difficulty, and that their work was most beneficial to Labuan. The large wharf on a strongly marked slope, and that once a building site has been levelled and laid out, it is a in the Harbour alongside of which steamers can take in coal, the fish market, the beginning of the railway to Tanjong Kubong, the heaviest part of the overground work at the colliery, the drainage of the land where I put the barracks of the new armed Police Force, all these things were done by the Hongkong and Singapore convicts.\n\nOn the other hand, the arrangement was of manifest advantage at the moment to Hongkong and Singapore. But as the system was not kept up, its benefit to the two larger Colonies soon ceased.\n\nWhat I now propose is that your Lordship should authorize me to arrange with the Governor of Labuan the transportation from time to time of convicts from Hongkong.\n\nTo save time, I have written to Governor USSHER asking him to consider the question and lay his views before your Lordship. I have the honour to enclose a copy of the letter I have addressed to him. The Chief Justice, Mr. Justice SNOWDEN, the Members of my Executive Council and the un-official Members of the Legislative Council, all approve of the idea, and agree in thinking that the transportation from time to time of our worst criminals to Labuan would do more than anything else to put a check to the increase of crime in Hongkong.\n\nI have, &c.,  \nJ. POPE HENNESSY, Governor.\n\n## The Right Honourable The EARL OF CARNARVON,\n\n# [No. 121.] \n## His Excellency Governor Pope Hennessy, C.M.G., to the Right Honourable The Earl of Carnarvon.\n\nGOVERNMENT HOUSE, HONGKONG, 21st September, 1877.\n\nMy Lord, I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt to-day of a Telegraphic Despatch from Your Lordship in the following terms:-- \n\n\"Twentieth, Governor (of) Labuan reports arrangements for despatch of Coolies from Hongkong. Grant all proper facilities.\"\n\nIn reference to this subject I beg to lay before your Lordship copies of the correspondence which has already passed, by which your Lordship will observe that I had long since given instructions that everything should be done in Hongkong to facilitate the despatch of Coolies to work the coal mine in Labuan.\n\nThere is also however another method of assisting the Government of Labuan in developing the natural resources of that Colony, and to this I have referred in my Despatch No. 117 of 15th instant in which I have requested your Lordship to sanction the transportation of Hongkong Chinese Convicts to Labuan. Judging from past experience there can be no doubt that the interests of both Colonies would be promoted by such an arrangement.\n\nThe Right Honourable The EARL OF CARNARVON,\n\nI have, &c.,  \nJ. POPE HENNESSY, Governor.\n\n# The Right Honourable Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, Bart., M. P., to His Excellency Governor Pope Hennessy, C.M.G.\n\nDOWNING STREET, 6th June, 1878.\n\nSIR, I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your Despatch, No. 164, of the 22nd of November, relating to proposed improvements in the Victoria Gaol, and enclosing plans prepared by the Surveyor General for this purpose.\n\n2. I am aware that in drawing these plans, Mr. PRICE has conformed to the instructions contained in paragraph 6 of my Predecessor's Despatch, No. 45, of the 7th of May, 1877, and I fully appreciate the care which he has bestowed upon them, but after due consideration of the subject, I am of opinion that they will not provide the accommodation required.\n\n3. I observe that both you and the Surveyor General refer to the question of the reconstruction of the Gaol as dependent on the project of transporting long sentenced criminals to Labuan. It may be convenient, therefore, that I should at once state that I am not at present prepared to entertain this suggestion, and that any scheme for the improvement of the prison discipline in the Colony should proceed on the assumption that Hongkong will have to provide accommodation for the whole of its own criminals.\n\n4. Keeping this decision in view, it will be evident that Mr. PRICE's plans for the enlargement of the existing Gaol, while they scarcely meet even the present requirements of the Colony, are open to objection on the grounds which he has himself indicated in paragraph 16 of his letter to the Colonial Secretary, viz., that the size of the airing yards, already small, will be still further diminished. Such diminution of the prison yards together with the crowding of fresh buildings on the present site would be highly detrimental both to the discipline and the sanitary condition of the prison, and on this ground, it will be necessary to abandon Mr. PRICE's proposal.\n\n5. It has been suggested as a mode of meeting the difficulty that the prisoners should be divided, and a second prison built outside the town, but as at present advised, I consider it wholly out of the question to establish two separate prisons in so small a Colony.\n\n6. Two alternatives present themselves, the one being to enlarge the existing prison by acquiring and building on additional ground in the immediate neighbourhood: the other to abandon the present buildings and erect a wholly new prison on a different site.\n\n7. As regards the acquisition of additional ground, an extension may apparently be sought either above or below the present site; that is to say, it would seem feasible either to resume the leases of the land immediately above Chancery Lane and carry the Gaol up to Caine Road, (at the same time...",

Rule 83, respecting the cutting of women's hair is at variance with the instructions conveyed in my Circular Despatch of the 22nd of April, 1876.\n\n9. I disapprove the power given by Rule 90 to the Superintendent to refuse to allow a prisoner under remand or committed for trial to see his legal adviser, and the power given by Rule 93 to a Committing Magistrate or Visiting Justice to forbid a prisoner in similar circumstances from seeing his friends; and I have to refer you on this subject to my Circular Despatch of the 27th of April last year.\n\n10. You should consult the Attorney General as to the validity of the power to administer oaths conferred by the 124th Section, and if the power is not effectually conferred by the Rule it should be created by law.\n\n11.

You will gather from my Despatch No. 45 of the 7th of May, that as regards the discipline and dietary of the Victoria Gaol, it is my desire that more should be done than merely \"remedying\" such defects in detail as were incidentally brought to light, and as were capable of immediate \"amendment.\"\n\n3. My desire is that you should take into your early consideration the whole question of Prison Discipline on the basis of the recommendations of the Commission, with the modifications indicated in my Despatch No. 45 of the 7th ultimo.\n\n4. With reference to Mr. Austin's request that I would procure for the Government of Hongkong information relative to the use of Cranks, I have directed the Crown Agents to obtain such information, which will be forwarded to you by an early opportunity.\n\nI have, &c.,\n\n**CARNARVON.**\n\n[No. 117.]\n\n## THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 19TH OCTOBER, 1878.\n\n## His Excellency Governor Pope Hennessy, C.M.G., to the Right Honourable The Earl of Carnarvon.\n\n495\n\nGOVERNMENT HOUSE, HONGKONG,\n15th September, 1877.\n\nMY LORD, I have from time to time furnished your Lordship with information showing that the Gaol is not as efficient an instrument in the suppression of crime as it ought to be, and I have also pointed to what seems to me a grave error in the Administration of Justice, that is, the imposition of repeated Short sentences on old offenders.\n\nBut whilst I hope, in course of time, to make some reforms in those two subjects, there is a third element in the suppression of crime with respect to which I venture to ask for your Lordship's assistance: I mean the establishment of a system of transportation.\n\nIn the year 1857, Sir JOHN BOWRING was authorized to transport to Labuan sixty of the worst class of Hongkong criminals.

I rely on you to review the whole question of Prison Discipline in Hongkong; and to make such proposals as will place the system upon a sound basis for the future.\n\n3. In the letter from the Acting Colonial Secretary, which forms the enclosure to Mr. AUSTIN's Despatch, I observe a direction that the practice is to be discontinued of Turnkeys employing prisoners to cook their meals for them and act as their body servants, \"when their quarters are so situated as to necessitate the prisoners passing outside of the office gates whereby they are enabled to communicate with the outside world.\"\n\n4. I do not know whether any Turnkeys have their quarters within the office gates. If there are any such, then under this letter they may continue to employ prisoners as their cooks and body servants. I consider that they should not be in any better position than those residing beyond the office gates, and should provide for their wants at their own expense. If your experience of climate suggests that it would be expedient to provide them with this assistance from public sources, the boon should be applied equally to Turnkeys residing beyond the office gates, and in some form less objectionable on grounds of discipline than prison labour.\n\nI have, &c.,\n\n**CARNARVON.**\n\n[No. 121.]\n\nGOVERNMENT HOUSE, HONGKONG,\n21st September, 1877.\n\nMY LORD-I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt to-day of a Telegraphic Despatch from Your Lordship in the following terms --\n\n\"Twentieth, Governor (of) Labuan reports arrangements for despatch of Coolies from Hongkong.

Therefore you will all see that there are precedents for the course which I have adopted in Hongkong.\n\nI observed in the address that Mr. Fuse MING-SHAN read, a passage to this effect; you are pleased to say that in my Government I had prized above all things justice and fairness, to the exclusion of all distinctions of nationality. That undoubtedly is true: in doing so, however, I but act in strict accordance with the policy of Her Majesty's Government and the commands of my Sovereign, QUEEN VICTORIA.\n\nHere in this Colony we number only a hundred and forty or a hundred and fifty thousand people. That is a very small number of the subjects of QUEEN VICTORIA, for in the whole of the East, QUEEN VICTORIA has nearly two hundred millions of subjects. Now, the vast majority of that large number of Her Majesty's subjects are in India. Some of you trade with India, and you are all intelligent and well informed enough to know that the Government of India is conducted by the Queen's Viceroy, and by the Governors of Madras and Bombay, with their Councils of Government. Now, in India the Queen has not only thrown open all employments in the public service to every native who has capacity and knowledge fitting him to be so employed, but upon the Viceroy's Council, if you turn to the authentic list I now hold in my hand, you will see the names of distinguished native gentlemen.\n\nNo laws are made for the Government of the Queen's subjects in India, no regulations can be issued, unless those laws or regulations have been passed by a Council upon which native gentlemen are sitting. And these native gentlemen, like you, retain their native customs and religion. Nothing would be more unfortunate than in any part of the British Empire to endeavour to force the manners and customs of England upon the native inhabitants. And therefore in India there is no interference with the religion and lawful customs of the people, nor shall there be any interference with the religion and lawful customs of the Chinese here.\n\nAnd this brings me to a point at which I desire to thank my friend Mr. FUNG MING-SIAN and some of the other gentlemen present for representations they addressed to me in 1878 about the crime of kidnapping. There has been a good deal of talk in the Colony upon this subject, but the first thing that I desire to record is that in \n\n郭松先生是又見有代本港各生理而來者又欣念諸君在此新本部堂意在本港凡有英國輪船者中當推他爲巨擘者其人卽見南北行有將英國貨物運來中土南北各處者數位又見有按代闔港華民而來若現在此向本部堂見有實屬本港商者又堂嘗有數次以爲可洽爾輩言此之意蓋知該紳實代爾輩而爲後數載在別藩地新嘉波總督該土者亦嘗保母黄埔胡玉瑷爲定例局納斯人亦本禧之際頌本部堂因立伍君叙爲定例局紳但未立他以前本部嘗客泰客内解說華人裨益本港者有云香港民數華人十居其九輸之數如之及督憲囘君歟本部堂此日極樂接納爾輩之喜悅蓋知但本部堂不欲自矜乃開港以來創立華人爲定例局紳者蓋曩督斯土者多年前嘗乃部堂之良友也彼此音問往來越十二年矣本部堂亦可言仕新嘉波定例局紳力助多若問幾何則照所指有權可薦紳士者而計目下當以華人爲極衆又前督憲羅亦受地段每輸稅銀十磅已上者有權可薦定例局紳五名該内稱原須做新嘉波法以華人補授巡理府缺或掌法紳士等語但業主多寡之數較前憲包奏請時更變甚八百五十年時嘗言欲任華人贊助國事安奏請朝廷准在本港設立一法使凡買奏朝廷論及華紳一節該事爾輩或亦知之因此咨文業經天印前督憲包於一千紳士也本部堂立之故不但因他品性高潔又不但因他諳練英國語言文字法律乃亦與知他實爲爾輩所信賴者國家忠事皇后未嘗有賢於彼者\n\nTHE GOVERNOR replied, Dr. EITEL interpreting his remarks as he proceeded.\n\nHIS EXCELLENCY said-Gentlemen, I am extremely glad to have the pleasure of receiving you. I know that you represent the Chinese community. I see here to-day friends of mine who are undoubtedly amongst the wealthiest merchants in this Colony. I see gentlemen here of the Nam-pák hongs who are engaged in sending into China from north to south British goods. I see one gentleman here who, I believe, is the largest individual owner of British steamers in this Colony, my friend Mr. KWOK ACHEONG. I see also representatives here to-day of every other important business in this Colony. It is therefore gratifying to me that you should have come at this season--the Chinese New Year--to congratulate me on having appointed Mr. No Onor to a seat on the Legislative Council. Before I made that appointment I had the opportunity of learning your own views about it. I knew that my honourable friend would truly represent you. It was not merely because he is a man of high character, with a thorough knowledge of English language and English law--it was not merely for that reason I appointed him, but I appointed him also because I knew he had your confidence.\n\nBut I do not wish to take too much credit to myself for having for the first time in this Colony appointed a Chinese gentleman to a seat on the Council. One of my predecessors wrote despatches to Her Majesty's Government--you might be aware of the fact for the despatches are printed--in which the question of Chinese representation was referred to, many years ago. Governor Sir Jony Bowing, in 1855, said he should be glad to associate the Chinese with the action of the Government, and he recommended Her Majesty's Government to have a system in this Colony by which every lot holder of £10 rental or upwards would be able to vote for five unofficial members of the Legislative Council. And in the same despatches Sir JOHN BOWRING said that the Chinese, as at Singapore, ought to be put into the Magistracy, made Justices of the Peace. Now, the changes in property that have occurred in this Colony, since the time when Sir Jons Bowring made that recommendation, have been so great that the majority of the electors that he then indicated would at this day be Chinese. Another Governor, Sir HERCULES ROBINSON, in a despatch describing what the Chinese have done for Hongkong, made the remark that the Chinese are more than ninety per cent. of the population and that they contribute a similar proportion to the revenue. Some years after that, in a neighbouring colony, in Singapore, the Governor recommended my old and valued friend, Mr. Ho An Kay Wham--Mr. WHAMPOA--to a seat on the Council. He has been a friend and correspondent of mine for more than twelve years, and I can say this for him, that there never has sat upon the Council of Singapore any non-official member who has been of more assistance to the Government or more...",

This is precisely the course which has been adopted with regard to the Colony of Labuan, the Post Office of which used to be regarded as a kind of semi-recognised agency of this Office. The financial results are, I should imagine, satisfactory to that Colony.\n\n19. A great number of details will require settlement in the event of the acceptance of this proposal, but it is useless to attempt to deal with them at present. I will only say that I know of none incapable of satisfactory adjustment. For the information of the Imperial Post Office, I may add that the almost daily communication between this Port and Shanghai, and the possession by the Chinese Government of a line of steamers will prevent any difficulty as to the conveyance of mails, even if both the English and French mail lines should cease to operate further than Hongkong.\n\n20. The desirability of simplifying Postal matters at Shanghai, where, in a moderate-sized settlement, there are half a dozen different Post Offices, is a point on which I have reported so often that it is needless now to say more about it.\n\nI have &c.,\n\nLister, Postmaster General.\n\nPage 335",

On the other hand, however, it would give an alternative and practically direct route to Hong Kong entirely under British control, a great advantage compared with the existing line which touches French Territory at Cape Saint James (Cochin China).\n\nThe total length of the Cables required would be about 2,500 Nautical Miles, for the most part of exceptionally heavy types owing to the unfavorable nature of the seas through which they would pass - costing about £420,000 consequently, to cover Working Expenses, cost of Maintenance, Amortization and Interest on Capital, a Subsidy of say £41,000 would be necessary.\n\nThe Company would be quite prepared to participate in the financial burden by foregoing a fourth part of the Subsidy, looking to the Traffic that would eventually be developed to recoup itself, and I would suggest that the remaining three fourths of the Subsidy should be borne by the Government.\n\nof Communication at Saïgon, would make up for many qual subsidies of £15,000.\n\nCable communication with Hong Kong would be worth at least one vessel.\n\nThe annual cost of a torpedo-gunboat in Commission is fully £12,000.\n\nYours sincerely,\nBlyth, Brian Al, Brig.\n\nDear Sir Robert,\n\nPage 538\nPage 540\nPage 541",

        "content_text": "*Hongkong Daily Press\" \n\nDecember 31st, 1892.\n\nACTIVE measures are being taken by the Eastern Extension Telegraph Co., we learn, with the view of strengthening their cable connections between Hongkong and Singapore, for which purpose additional lines are to be laid at an early date connecting Manila with Labuan, and Labuan with Singapore. The total length of cable to be laid is about 1,480 miles, each mile costing $1,500. Hongkong will thus secure an alternative route to Singapore, via Manila, and an alternative route to Manila, via Singapore, so that total interruptions of the service will in future be of rare occurrence. Besides this, we will be placed in telegraphic communication with British North Borneo via Labuan, for before very long the Borneo land lines will reach the coast opposite Labuan and will then in natural course be connected with that island by a short subsidiary cable. It will be remembered that some years ago the necessity for a direct cable between Singapore and Hongkong was warmly agitated. That is practically what is now to be given us by the Eastern Extension Co. In the event of England's being involved in a conflict with Russia, in view of the present intimate relations between the latter Power and France, it is possible that communication by the existing cable might be cut off at Saigon. It is unlikely that there would at the same time be an interruption at Manila, but if any apprehension were entertained as to the free working of the service at that point we understand the Telegraph Company has the means on the spot of laying a cable between Hongkong and Labuan and that the execution of the work would take little longer than the time required for a vessel to steam across. Hongkong and Singapore would then be placed in telegraphic communication by means of cables touching only at British territory. The political importance of the new line can therefore hardly be overestimated. That this costly work should be undertaken without any subsidy from either the Imperial Government or this Colony speaks well for the enterprising spirit of the Company and is an evidence of a desire on the part of the Chairman and Board of Directors to leave nothing undone that is likely to result in the efficient and uninterrupted working of the vast network of cables east of Madras.\n\nThe feeling of the mercantile community towards the Eastern Extension Company as well as towards the Great Northern Company has of late been rendered somewhat hostile by reason of the Russo-Chinese Telegraph Convention, the object of which is to keep up rates. The existence of this feeling, however, ought not to be allowed to prejudice the consideration of the enterprise now about to be undertaken by the Eastern Extension. In view of its importance, both politically and commercially it is to be hoped the Government will not withhold from the Company any reasonable privileges it may be able to afford in furtherance of the work, and that should the matter be submitted to the Chamber of Commerce that body will so advise the Government. A community which of its own motion suggested the imposition of additional dues on its shipping in order to provide a light on Gap Rock and establish telegraphic communication therewith might perhaps even be content to sit quiet under the present tariff charged by the Eastern Extension as a return for increased facilities offered by the Company. We quite appreciate the advantages of cheap telegraphy, but it would be a fatal mistake to render the service of the Eastern Extension unremunerative by making exclusive use of the Chinese land lines and so place our communications at the mercy of the Chinese Telegraph Administration. That is a policy which the Government, for political reasons, could not support, and which in the long run would prove disastrous to the mercantile community, to whom reliability in the service is of greater consequence than the cost. If the Eastern Extension Company approaches the Colony in a friendly spirit prepared to conclude a bargain it would be to the interest of the Colony to meet it in the same spirit, not giving a great deal for nothing, but on the other hand not withholding reasonable privileges if the Company on its part is prepared to give increased facilities. The Russo-Chinese Telegraph Convention naturally cannot be regarded with a friendly eye by Hongkong, but when we are dealing with the Eastern Extension Company direct we may be content to ignore any soreness caused by that much-discussed agreement if it appears that our interest lies in making up our quarrel. An alternative route to Singapore, and one by means of which, if necessity arises, the service can be conducted without touching any foreign port, seems to us something worth making a concession for. And it is not certain that the concession will cost us anything, because the chances of securing a reduction in rates would not be materially advanced by placing obstructions in the Company's way.\n\n274",

Not, however, that this means very much, because the prospect of any cable competition in those waters must be of the remotest.",

The Monmouthshire was at anchor when, just before midnight, she was run into by the Miike Maru, an 8-knot steamer. The Monmouthshire was on her way to Hankow to load tea. Both vessels had to go into dock at Shanghai.\n\nThe Manila Slipway Company purposes to pay a dividend of 2½ per cent. for the half-year ended 31st March last, which with the dividend of the same amount for the previous half-year makes 5 per cent for the year.\n\nEpitome of the Week, &c.\n\nLeading Articles :\n\nThe Plague and its Causes\n\nThe Plague and Chinese Opposition to Sanitary Measures\n\nRussia and Korea\n\nThe Water Supply\n\nAnglo-Chinese Convention\n\nTreaty\n\nEntente in Japan\n\nQuarantine...\n\nThe Plague.\n\nThe Plague at Canton\n\nSupreme Court :--\n\nIn re The Chiou Land and Finance Co., Limited.\n\nChai Cha Si v.

But Japan is not unlike England in the quality of its weather, that is to say, eternally variable, though unlike England in the nature of its downpours.\n\nThe report of the Hongkong and China Gas Company shows a net profit, including £1,152 brought forward, of £9,693 for the year 1893, and a dividend at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum is recommended (of which 6 per cent. has been paid as an interim dividend), leaving £2,893 to be carried forward.\n\nThe China Export, Import, and Banking Company at Hamburg distributes for the past year a dividend of 12 per cent., as in the previous year, the net profits amounting to m.94,879. The paid-up share capital amounts to m.500,000; the reserve fund to m.150,000 (against m.100,000 in the previous year).\n\nThe following telegrams, dated 9th instant, have passed between Sir John Pender and the Chairman of the Singapore Chamber of Commerce, on the completion of the cable between Singapore and Labuan :\n\nFrom Sir John Pender, Chairman, Eastern Extension Telegraph Co., to The President of the Chamber of Commerce, Singapore :\n\n\"Please accept my hearty congratulations on completion of alternative cable between Singapore and Hongkong, which not only strengthens and improves your telegraphic communication, but brings Singapore into direct submarine communication with Labuan and Borneo, and will thus materially assist in development of your colony's resources and prosperity.\n\nI would also express the hope that this further justification of the company's enterprise and liberality, involving as it does enormous expenditure, will be fully appreciated and convince them of this Company's desire to meet public requirements as fully as possible.\"\n\nFrom the Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce, Singapore, to Sir John Pender :\n\n\"Singapore Chamber of Commerce thanks you for your kind message of congratulation, and joins in the hope that the opening of the new cable, placing the colony in a more independent telegraphic position, may lead to the stimulation of its trade with Labuan and Borneo and countries farther east.\n\nThe Chamber feels that the traffic generally may surely increase as a result of this new communication.\"\n\nARRIVALS OF MAILS.\n\nThe French mail of the 13th April arrived per M.M. steamer Oceanien, on the 16th May (33 days); the English mail of the 20th April arrived per P. & O. steamer Sutlej, on the 19th May (29 days); and the American mail of the 18th April arrived per P. M. steamer Peru, via Honolulu, on the 22nd May (34 days).\n\nThe plague continues its ravages, the mortality for the week ending on the 22nd inst., being 197. The sanitary precautions taken by the Government have aroused great hostility on the part of the Chinese and on Saturday there was some little disturbance, but the prompt measures taken by the police prevented its becoming serious.\n\nIn view of the objections of the Chinese to having the sick treated by European doctors, the Committee of the Tung Wah Hospital have been permitted to establish a temporary branch hospital at the Glassworks, to which cases may be removed.\n\nEPITOME OF THE WEEK.\n\nAn earthquake shock occurred at Tientsin at six o'clock on the morning of the 14th inst.\n\nM. G. Dubail, Consul-General for France at Shanghai, has received instructions to proceed to Tokyo to act as Chargé d'Affaires, pending the arrival there of M. Harmand, the new Minister.\n\nOn the question of house-to-house visitation, however, to which objection was also taken, the Government has declined to make any concession, holding the measure to be absolutely necessary for the public safety.\n\nAbsurd tales have been in circulation amongst the coolies, in common with the Foreign community, as to the treatment to which the sick were subjected on the hospital ship Hygeia.\n\nA Commission appointed by the Government of Victoria for the purpose of promoting trade and enabling it to take advantage of the coming Exhibition is at present visiting Hongkong.\n\nPage 308\n\nPage 397\n\nPage 398\n\nPage 399\n\nPage 400\n\nPage 401\n\nPage 403\n\nPage 405\n\nPage 406\n\nPage 408\n\nPage 410\n\nPage 411\n\nPage 415\n\nPage 418",

Whereby it is mutually agreed between the said parties as follows:--\n\n1. The said **WILLIAM STANTON** for the consideration hereinafter mentioned, agrees, so soon as thereunto required by the said Crown Agent for the Colonies, to proceed to Hongkong as Constable in the Police Force of the Government of that Colony, and to act in all respects according to the directions and instructions given to him by the Government of Hongkong through its properly qualified officers, and the said **WILLIAM STANTON** hereby agrees that he will faithfully and honestly fulfil the duties required of him by or on behalf of the said Government of Hongkong for the term of five years from the date of arrival in the Colony.\n\n2. And it is hereby further agreed, that in consideration of the services so to be rendered to the said Government of Hongkong by the said **WILLIAM STANTON**, the said Government of Hongkong shall pay the said **WILLIAM STANTON**, the annual sum of four hundred and eighty dollars ($480), in monthly payments of 40 dollars, to be made in Hongkong, such payments to commence and begin from the date of the said **WILLIAM STANTON** embarking from England for Hongkong.\n\n3. And it is further agreed that the said Government of Hongkong will, if the conduct of the said **WILLIAM STANTON** shall, in the opinion of the said Government, have been satisfactory, grant him, at the expiration of ten years, a pension at the rate of 1/3 of his annual salary, and an addition of 1/60 of such annual salary in respect of each additional year of service after ten years.\n\n4. And it is further agreed that the Government of Hongkong will provide the said **WILLIAM STANTON** with quarters free of charge to him, and annually with two suits of uniform complete, also free of charge to him.\n\n5. And it is further agreed that a passage to Hongkong shall be provided for the said **WILLIAM STANTON** at public cost, and the said **WILLIAM STANTON**, if he shall have given to the Captain Superintendent three months' previous notice, in writing, of his intention to leave the Force at the expiration of his five years' service, shall be entitled to a free passage back to England, or in lieu thereof to a sum equal to three months' pay of the rank to which at the time he may belong.\n\n6. And it is further agreed that the said Crown Agent shall pay for and on behalf of the said Government of Hongkong, to the said **WILLIAM STANTON**, after this Agreement has been duly signed, the sum of fifteen pounds by way of bounty, and the said **WILLIAM STANTON** further agrees to refund and repay to the said Crown Agent for the Colonies the said sum of fifteen pounds paid to the said **WILLIAM STANTON** by way of bounty if he the said **WILLIAM STANTON** should fail to proceed to Hongkong when directed to do so.\n\nAs witness our hands the day and year above written.\n\nSigned by the said William Stanton,\n\nin the presence of\n\n(Sd.) C. VANDELEUR CREAGH,\nDeputy Superintendent, Hongkong Police, on leave of absence.\n\nSigned by the said William Charles Sargeaunt,\nin the presence of\n\n(Sd.) L. ADAMS,\n12, Spring Gardens.\n\n(Sd.) WILLIAM STANTON,\n(Sd.) W. C. SARGEAUNT.\n\n## SCHEDULE No. 2\n\n**COLONIAL OFFICE RULES AND REGULATIONS**\n\n### Rule 66\nThe distinction between officers which are, and officers which are not, of considerable rank, trust, and emolument, being in itself vague and indefinite, has been rendered as precise as the nature of the case admits, by the following distinction. Offices are classed under three heads: 1. Those of which the emoluments do not exceed one hundred pounds per annum; 2. Those of which the emoluments exceed one hundred and do not exceed two hundred pounds per annum; 3. And those of which the emoluments exceed two hundred pounds per annum.*\n\n### Rule 83\nThe following Rules, unless the mode of suspension is otherwise provided for by some local law, must be strictly observed in proceeding to suspend from the exercise of his office any public officer who has been appointed by virtue of a commission or warrant from the Crown, or whose emoluments exceed £100 a year.*\n\n### Rule 84\nThe Governor shall signify to the officer, by a statement in writing, the grounds of the intended suspension, and shall call upon him to state in writing before a day to be specified (which day must allow a reasonable interval for the purpose), any grounds upon which he relies to exculpate himself.\n\n### Rule 85\nIf the officer does not furnish such statement within the time fixed by the Governor, or if he fails to exculpate himself to the satisfaction of the Governor, the Governor shall apprise the officer that on a day (to be specified) the question of his suspension will be brought before the Executive Council, and that he will be allowed, and, if the Council so determine, required to appear before the Council and defend himself orally.\n\n### Rule 86\nIf any witnesses are examined by the Council, the officer must be allowed the opportunity of being present, and of putting questions on his own behalf. The officer must also be given a copy of any documentary evidence that is to be used against him, and that has not been already furnished to him.\n\n### Rule 96 (d)\nAn officer who has not been appointed by virtue of a commission or warrant from the Crown, and whose emoluments do not exceed £100 a year,* may be dismissed by the Governor without the proceedings above prescribed but in every such case the grounds of dismissal must be definitely stated in writing, and communicated to the officer, that he may have full opportunity of exculpating himself, and the matter must be investigated by the Governor with the aid of the head of the department (if any). In lieu of dismissal, the Governor, if he thinks fit, may remove the officer to an office of lower rank in the service, or may require him to serve in his original office at a reduced salary, either permanently or for a stated period, or may deduct a portion of salary due, or about to become due, to the officer. Such dismissal or other punishment will not require the confirmation of the Secretary of State, but any memorial from the dismissed officer must be forwarded to the Secretary of State without delay, with a short statement of the grounds of dismissal or other punishment.\n\n*In Straits Settlements, Hongkong, Labuan, and British Honduras the limits are not £100 or £200, or their equivalents, but $600 and $1,200, and in Ceylon and Mauritius, Rs. 1,500 and Rs. 3,000.\n\n## SCHEDULE No. 3\n\n**Ordinance No. 14, of 1897**\n\n(Amended by Sec. 1. of Ordinance 20 of 1890)\n\n### Section 2\nIn this Ordinance the expression subordinate officer shall mean every member of the Police force above the rank of Constable except the Captain Superintendent and clerks, and the word pension shall include any allowance in the nature of a pension or any gratuity on retirement.",

ASHMEAD BARTLETT (Sheffield, Ecclesall),\n\nMr. CHAMBERLAIN said,-I think it would be well if questions on this subject were in future addressed to the Colonial Office, as the Colonial Government have now taken possession of the extension. Telegrams received from the Governor state that the opposition was probably connected with the Triad Secret Society, which is understood to be strong in the neighbouring district, but the flags captured show that the attack included companies of Chinese militia, who were in uniform and armed with guns and rifles. There was a further attack yesterday, when two guns were captured. There was no loss of life on the British side. The hostility shown and the doubtful attitude of the Chinese authorities will necessitate careful reconsideration of the position.\n\nMr. GIBSON BOWLES (King's Lynn)-Were the two guns captured by the Chinese?\n\nMr. CHAMBERLAIN.-No, Sir.

I fear, therefore, that it could not be given.\n\nTuesday, 8. Aug. 1899.\n\n--13664-15000-12-06\n\nConfidential Paper.\n\nMr. Lucas.\n\nTreasury\n\nThe arrangements with the Great Northern Tel.

He had accordingly instituted the prosecution.\n\n3.\n\nThe Harbour Master in his capacity as Marine Magistrate tried the case on the 24th October. The evidence taken was to the effect that until the telegram was received at Labuan, the Officers and crew had no knowledge whatever that the coal was intended for a belligerent port and were under the belief it would be discharged at Manila. The Articles of Agreement pledged the men to proceed to Manila and/or to any ports within 75° North and 60° South, but the contention of the men was that had they been aware that they would be required to carry contraband to a belligerent's port, which had never even been hinted at, they would not have signed on.\n\n4.\n\nUnder these circumstances and in the desire to avoid further local decisions which would embarrass His Majesty's Government, I telegraphed to enquire whether the Law Officers of the Crown had given legal opinion in connection with a case of this description and I requested the Marine Magistrate to postpone delivering his judgment until a reply was received. I have received no reply to my telegram.\n\n6.\n\nOn the 28th ultimo, however, the Master of the S.S. \"Bawtry\" asked permission to withdraw the charge and be allowed to send the men home as Distressed British Seamen. This latter arrangement having been sanctioned in the case of the \"Inkum\" was agreed to in this case and the men, 17 in number, are now in the Sailors' Home pending arrangements.\n\nPage 300\n\nPage 301",

A meeting of the Committee was held on the 27th April 1910. Mr. Tennant presided, and there were also present:\n\nMr. Johnson (Colonial Office),\n\nMr. Kirk (India Office),\n\nMr. Law (Foreign Office),\n\nColonel Macdonogh (War Office),\n\nMr. Mackay (Post Office),\n\nColonel White (Admiralty),\n\nMr. Wilkins (Treasury), and\n\nMr. Brown (Secretary).\n\n2. The Committee considered a proposal which had been made for communication between the projected low-power wireless telegraph station of the Eastern Extension and Marconi Companies at Hong Kong and a similar station to be erected by the Chinese Government on Pratas Island (about 200 miles to the south-east of Hong Kong), for the purpose of transmitting weather reports to the mainland, in order to give warning to shipping of approaching storms. See No. 1 (with enclosures) and No. 2 of the annexed correspondence. See also Report No. 127.\n\n3. Mr. Johnson explained that, before the Governor of Hong Kong had learnt the decision to grant a license to the Eastern Extension and Marconi Companies for a low-power station in that Colony, he had submitted proposals for the establishment of a high-power Government station there (see No. 3 of the annexed correspondence, with enclosures). The question of providing such a station would, Mr. Johnson assumed, depend on the decision ultimately arrived at as to the proposed establishment of a net-work of wireless communication throughout the Empire (see Reports Nos. 134 and 140). This question need not, however, affect the proposed grant of a license to the Eastern Extension and Marconi Companies for a low-power station, as there would, he understood, be room at Hong Kong for a station of each kind.\n\nAs regards the proposal that the lower-power station at Hong Kong should communicate with the projected station of the Chinese Government at Pratas Island, Mr. Johnson said that it had been the intention that the license to the Eastern Extension and Marconi Companies should be limited to communication with ships: but there seemed to be no objection to an exception being made in favour of communication between Hong Kong and Pratas Island, in the same way that an exception had already been agreed to as regards communication between Labuan (Sarawak) and the proposed station of the Eastern Extension and Marconi Companies at Singapore (see Report No. 135).\n\n4. Colonel White said that the Admiralty saw no objection to the proposed communication, and the Committee generally concurred.\n\n(Signed)\n\nGEORGE W. JOHNSON,\n\nH. A. KIRK,\n\nA. LAW,\n\nG. M. W.

I am to inquire whether, if this Station is established, the Lords Commissioners will agree to its communicating with the Naval Station at Hong Kong (as suggested by Vice-Admiral Lambton in his letter to the Governor of Hong Kong enclosed in the above-mentioned letter), or whether their Lordships are of opinion that it should communicate with the new Wireless Telegraph Station proposed to be erected by the Eastern Extension Telegraph Company and the Marconi Wireless Telegraph Company, to which reference is made in the Report of the Cable (Landing-Rights) Committee dated the 27th September 1909 (Serial No. 127). In the latter case the matter will be referred to the Committee to consider the question of thus extending the conditions of the proposed license to the Companies in question, as the Committee recommended that that license should be strictly limited to communication with ships.\n\nI am, &c.,\n\nH. W. JUST.\n\nEnclosure 1 in No. 1.\n\nPeking, 26th November 1909.\n\nIN my despatch No. 170 of 8th May last I stated the reasons which made it inexpedient for me to approach the Chinese Government at that time regarding the erection of a wireless telegraph station on the Pratas Islands, and I added that I might possibly find a suitable opportunity later on of submitting Sir Frederick Lugard's suggestion to the favourable consideration of the Wai Wu Pu.\n\nSir Frederick Lugard having reverted to the subject, I consulted my Japanese colleague and inquired whether, as the Pratas Islands difficulty had apparently been settled with Japan, he had any objection to the proposal. Mr. Ijnouye telegraphed to Tokio, and in due course assured me that there was no objection on the part of the Japanese Government.\n\nIn these circumstances, it appeared to me unnecessary to refer to your instructions, and in a Memorandum of the 19th instant, copy of which is enclosed, I accordingly submitted the proposal to the Wai Wu Pu, and at an interview on the same day I supplemented this by a verbal explanation of all the circumstances which told in favour of the undertaking.\n\nIn their reply of November 25th, copy of which is likewise enclosed, the Wai Wu Pu inform me that the matter was referred to the consideration of the Board of Communications, and that the Viceroy of Canton has been instructed to make the necessary arrangements without delay.\n\nI am forwarding a copy of this despatch to the Governor of Hong Kong.\n\nSir Edward Grey, Bart., M.P.,\n\n&c.,\n\n&c.,\n\n&c.\n\nI have, &c.,\n\nJ. N. JORDAN.\n\n(Signed)\n\nF. J. BROWN,\n\nG. M. W. MACDONOGH,\n\nR. J. MACKAY,\n\nH. S. NEVILLE WHITE,\n\nROLAND WILKINS.\n\nEnclosure 2 in No. 1. MEMORANDUM.\n\nSecretary,\n\n23rd May 1910.\n\nMr. Tennant was unable to sign this Report on account of illness.\n\n19th November 1909.\n\nThe institution of an observation station with a wireless telegraph installation on Pratas Island would be of great advantage during the typhoon season for the forecasting of storms in the southern portions of the China Seas, and a protection to all shipping frequenting the southern coasts of China.\n\nE (33)4685.

        "content_text": "dockyard such as Singapore has become painfully apparent since the outbreak of war.\n\nThe whole strength of the German political and economic position in Singapore before the war lay in their advantageous shipping facilities with Europe, and the control of the more important local shipping services which acted as feeders to the main European line of the Norddeutscher Lloyd. In the early days of the great bid for Eastern trade, it will be remembered that the N.D.L. and other German lines entered upon most strenuous freight wars with their British and other rivals, which were fought out to such a pitch that they eventually forced their way into both the outward and homeward freight Conferences between Europe and the Far East. Having achieved their purpose in this respect, it was comparatively easy to develop their share of the trade. Well-equipped steamers were placed on the run, the greatest attention was paid to the details of the service, particularly in regard to passenger accommodation, and they received considerable support from the travelling British public, and also from British shippers. Under ordinary circumstances, the entry of the German lines into the Conference would have been an advantage both to British steamship owners and also to merchants, inasmuch as it would have maintained reasonable and lucrative rates of freight for the former, and would have insured to the latter a stable rate and equal treatment with their competitors of all nationalities. It is now understood, however, that under the German system of encouraging export trade the shipping lines co-operated with the Imperial State railways in Germany, and granted special rates, which were appreciably lower than those of their competitors for the same length of haulage. In addition to this, an elaborate system of secret rebates was granted by the German shipping companies to their agents, who, in turn, granted favourable rates to their clients among the local merchants. The advantages thus secured by a firm like Behn, Meyer & Co., the agents for the leading German lines, and also the largest individual German merchants and shippers in the colony, will be readily appreciated. These advantages were consolidated by their control of the local feeding lines in the archipelago.\n\nIn the early days, it was decided by the British shipping companies that, inasmuch as Bangkok lay off the main route to China and Japan, the Siamese trade should be attracted to Singapore. Messrs. Alfred Holt & Co., of the \"Blue Funnel line, accordingly formed a nominally separate company to operate a regular subsidiary service between the two ports in order to feed their through steamers.\n\nThis service was run for years until a most advantageous offer was made to the British owners by Messrs. Behn, Meyer & Co., acting at the instigation of Herr Weigand, the former president of the N.D.L., and the whole fleet was sold outright to the Germans, the British Company binding itself not to compete for a term of years, which period has now lapsed. Having secured control of this valuable line (in 1913 the imports from Siam Proper and ports on the east coast of the Peninsula to Singapore amounted to over 4,000,000l., and the exports from Singapore to 1,100,000l.), a portion of the fleet was diverted to British North Borneo, and before the outbreak of war the mail service between Singapore and British North Borneo, two important links in the chain of British Possessions in the East, was conducted by German steamers.\n\nThis control of local shipping was used by the German houses to further their policy of decentralisation, and to stimulate a direct business both outwards and homewards with the smaller stations among the islands, where British mercantile activity was not active, as the British firms concentrated in Singapore and left the collection and distribution of goods in the subsidiary markets to the Chinese and Malay traders. As an instance of this policy, Macassar, the capital of Celebes, was made a port of call of the German-Australian line of steamers, and a considerable amount of produce was shipped direct from that port to Europe. Whether this policy of decentralisation would, in the long run, have proved successful is a matter for grave doubt, as it seriously menaced the hold of the native dealers on the trade. It, however, served to secure cargoes for German steamers, and increased the shipping commissions of their agents.\n\nSince the outbreak of war, an effort has been made by Messrs. Alfred Holt & Co. to regain their position in the Archipelago. Three new steamers have been laid down at the Taikoo Dockyard in Hong Kong, specially constructed for the Singapore-Bangkok service, and an arrangement has been entered into with the Straits Steamship Company, whose capital has been considerably increased, and it is intended that this company shall largely extend its field of operations in the future, and shall act as the feeder to the British lines calling at Singapore.\n\nPage 9\n\nThe general question of international shipping Conferences so far as they apply to the Far East will be dealt with at a later stage in this report. It is advisable at this point to state that--\n\nThe British merchants in the Straits Settlements consider that it will be gravely detrimental to the interests of British trade if the German lines are allowed to re-enter the Eastern Shipping Conference after the war.\n\nAmerican Competition.-Prior to the outbreak of war the United States was not a keen competitor in the import trade of the Colony owing to the high prices and long deliveries asked for her goods, and also owing to the fact that she was not represented on the spot by American merchant houses. During the past two years, however, the cessation of continental supplies and the uncertainty and delay in the execution of orders placed in the United Kingdom have resulted in a very large proportion of the orders for iron and steel of all kinds, bolts and nuts, galvanised and corrugated sheets, nails, copper, and brass being secured by United States manufacturers.\n\nThe United States is carrying on an active advertising campaign, and has supplied comprehensive catalogues of her manufactures to the various Consuls with a view to extending the trade. It is not considered by the local British houses that this competition will survive the resumption of normal conditions, unless the American facilities for distribution, shipping, and finance are very much improved.\n\nThe strong feature of the American trade is the large amount of Straits produce consumed in the States. New York is at the present time a more important market than London for Straits rubber and tin, but the bulk of this business is conducted through the established British houses in the Settlements.\n\nJapanese Competition Japan is likely to become an increasingly severe competitor in the Straits Settlements. Between the years 1902-1912 her exports to the Straits remained almost stationary, but her imports of Malayan produce increased threefold Since the war, however, her trade has expanded rapidly, and Japanese merchants are rapidly extending, throughout the Settlements and also the F.M.S., lines of trade which formerly were to a great extent in the hands of our enemies. The principal articles include matches, enamelled ware, glass and porcelain ware, cotton goods-especially singlets and towels, toys, chemicals, beer, and cement. Japanese packing cases, latex cups, and coagulating trays for use on the rubber estates are appearing in considerable quantities, and a large trade is being developed in insulators, lamp-shades, and other electrical necessities. In order to facilitate the finance of this trade a branch of the Bank of Taiwan has been opened in Singapore since the outbreak of the war.\n\nJapan's strength at present lies mainly in coal and shipping. Japanese coal- whether mined in Japan or in Manchuria enjoys a virtual monopoly in the Straits Settlements. A certain amount of Chinese coal from the Kailan Company's mines in North China is on the market, but the Japanese fuel is the bunker coal par excellence of the Far East.\n\nCoal is mined in Sumatra and Labuan, but only in small quantities, and the price cannot compete with the Japanese. This outward trade in coal is a valuable asset to the Japanese steamship services, and has been a prominent factor in stimulating Japanese shipping in the archipelago. The total Japanese tonnage entered and cleared in Straits ports in 1913 amounted to 2,600,000 tons, and in 1915 this figure had increased to 3,800,000 tons.\n\nJapanese competition, so far, has not seriously affected British commercial interests, inasmuch as the articles handled have been, in the main, low-priced sundry goods formerly supplied by enemy countries. The increase in the imports of hosiery are noteworthy, and with the efflux of time and the extension of the Japanese mills we may expect to see competition in the staple cotton fabrics. Japanese shipping is likely to prove a very serious competitor in the local services, and British merchants view with some concern the almost complete dependence upon Japan for bunker coal. It is suggested that an effort might be made to develop the import of Indian coal. The question is mainly one of shipping facilities.\n\nBanking and Credit Facilities. The banking and credit facilities in the Colony appear to be adequate to the needs of the trade. Branches of the Chartered Bank of India, Australia and China, the Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation, and the Mercantile Bank of India are established both in the Settlements and in the F.M.S., and a liberal policy is pursued. The leading European merchants operate on their own funds, and, in addition, almost always receive a clean overdraft for a considerable amount.\n\nA 2687\n\nB\n\n601",

The cost of meals for passengers is above that of rations for the crew, the operators contend, and the adjustment of the rate because of this \n\nis being discussed by Shipping Board officials and the representatives of the companies concerned. There also has been some discussion of a more elastic allowance to provide for adequate payment where rationing necessitates the carrying of food in launches to vessels anchored midstream or in out-of-the-way \n\nplaces. It is understood that the Shipping Board has decided to permit operators to arrange for minor repairs without the specific approval of the board. Minor repairs in this case considered to be all those costing less than $5,000. The bill in each case is subject to checking up by a representative of the Government.

This of course was an ingenious method of saving face, but not enough to satisfy Billy \n\nHaving thrown his chest once, and not had it burst in, he threw it again and called for unconditional surrender of the union, in the form of an undertaking that there should be no further attempts at job control, either on the Largs Bay or on any other vessel of the line \n\nIt has taken a fortnight to get this well home into Tom Walsh's head, and now the undertaking has been given.

SAMUEL & Co., Limited,\n\nLONDON, E.C. 2.\n\n-3- \n\n37\n\nSection 11 is directed against the actual shipper or importer of the forbidden article, the person, as one might say, who is there.\n\nSection 12, on the other hand, is directed against the master and owner of the vessel, making them responsible for the presence of the article practically irrespective of any question as to who put it there.\n\nThis being so, it may perhaps appear rather illogical that the scope of the presumption in the latter case should be wider than in the former. It might reasonably be argued that it ought rather to be narrower and that the legislature must have intended that it should at least be subject to the same limitations.\n\nBut it is not the business of the Court to criticise the acts of the legislature or to guess what might or might not have been intended. The work of the Court is to administer the law according to the plain meaning of the words used.\n\nThe wording of section 12 is quite clear and complete in itself. It seems to me that any attempt to read into sub-section (3) the words \"within the limits of any port,\" or some such phrase, would be equivalent to qualifying the definition of importation given in section 2 of the Ordinance.\n\n\"Import,\" with its grammatical variations and cognate expressions, means \"to bring into or cause to be brought into the Colony by land, sea, or air.\"\n\nAnd to complete the definition, I turn to the Interpretation Ordinance, under the heading \"Geographical Definitions\": \n\n\"Colony\" includes the several Settlements of Singapore, Penang, Malacca, and Labuan, and all other islands and places for the time being forming part of the Straits Settlements, and all British waters adjacent thereto.\n\nAnother point which I think has rather been lost sight of is that even under Section 11, the offence is not confined to matters within Port limits.\n\nAll it says is that the",

        "content_text": "64\n\n10\n\nrailway receipts were first treated on the basis of net receipts in those Colonies. It was introduced in the Straits Settlements Military Contribution Ordinance in 1899 (see paragraph 4, Class I, above) when it was desired to treat a public telephone system on the basis of net receipts, and the Colonial Office (Colonial Office letter of 5th July, 1899, to the Treasury) stated that the insertion of this provision will remove the inconvenience of having to introduce an amending Ordinance in each case of the establishment of a new productive undertaking and Mr. Chamberlain will instruct the Governor of the Straits Settlements that no new undertaking is to be deemed of a similar character to railways or telephones without previous reference to the Secretary of State, who will then submit the proposal to Their Lordships and to the Secretary of State for War.\" The second portion of the section follows the lines of a provision (see paragraph 5 above) introduced in Ceylon, Mauritius, and the Straits Settlements in 1904 (Treasury letter No. 6103/04 to the War Office of 19th April, 1904, and Colonial Office letter to the War Office of 17th May, 1904) to enable capital expenditure met from revenue to be treated as if the expenditure had been met by a loan deduction for the service of which were provided for in the first portion of the section.\n\nNo such provisions were required in Hong Kong until the construction of the British section of the Kowloon-Canton Railway in 1911 as until that date there were no productive undertakings in the Colony recognized for military contributions purposes. On the opening of the railway it was agreed that the principle of net receipts should be extended to it and an amending Ordinance on the lines of the Straits Settlements Ordinances of 1899 and 1904 was approved.\n\nIt was, however, expressly laid down (Treasury letter No. 15072/11 to the Colonial Office of 12th August, 1911) that “as in the similar case of the Straits Settlements (Colonial Office letter of the 5th July) in the event of any reproductive undertakings other than railways or telephones being established by the Colonial Government, the principle of net receipts to military contribution shall not be extended to such undertakings without previous reference to himself (the Secretary of State for the Colonies), in order that the question may first be submitted to this Board and the Army Council.\" This condition was definitely reported to the Colony in Colonial Office despatch of 19th August, 1911, to the Governor of Hong Kong. The second portion of the section can obviously not be applied unless it has been previously agreed that an undertaking should be treated under the first portion of the section as a productive undertaking.\n\nThe fact is that the section of the Hong Kong Ordinance quoted by the Deputy Treasurer is only of a permissive nature made wide in its terms to obviate the necessity of amending ordinances. It is not general in its application to all productive undertakings in a Colony and neither the whole of the section, nor a portion of it, can be extended to any particular undertaking, not previously approved for treatment on net receipts, without the prior authority of His Majesty's Government. There has thus been no error in law in the past treatment of waterworks receipts in Hong Kong.\n\nWar Office,\n\nAugust, 1931.\n\nNature of Modification.\n\nMare-Aux-Vacoas and other Motor Works (Mauritius).\n\n11\n\nAPPENDIX.\n\n(1) Assessment of Net Receipts.\n\n  \n    Date.\n    \n    Grounds for Concession.\n  \n  \n    1897\n    Penang Public Telephones (Straits)\nPenang Public Tramways (Straits)\nCurrency Note Issue (Straits)\n    Accepted by Imperial Government, under protest, as analogous to railways.\nAnalogous to railways.\nThe Government issue was to supplement issue of notes by banks.

(L)P(451)\n\nAPPENDIX A.\n\nSTATEMENT OF THE CIVIL AFFAIRS POLICY OF HIS MAJESTY'S GOVERNMENT FOR BRITISH BORNEO.\n\n24-2-45 183\n\nParagraph 6 of the charter of the Combined Civil Affairs Committee lays it down that the formulation of policies for the handling of civil affairs in territories previously under the authority of one or other of the Governments represented on the Committee, shall be entrusted to that Government. The United Kingdom Government have accordingly formulated a policy for the handling of civil affairs in British Borneo, the main features of which are contained in the following paragraphs.\n\n1.\n\nPrior to the Japanese invasion, the territories of Borneo having a special British connection consisted of the States of Sarawak, North Borneo and Brunei, and the Colonial territory of Labuan. Sarawak was governed by a white Rajah, Sir Charles Vyner Brooke, and the administrative service of the country was recruited through the Sarawak Government Agent in London. Sarawak was a free and independent State in whose internal affairs H.M. Government did not interfere, but the State enjoyed British protection, and H.M. Government was responsible for the conduct of its foreign relations. The internal and international status of North Borneo was the same as that of Sarawak. The territory was governed by a chartered company incorporated in London (the British North Borneo (Chartered) Company), which was responsible for the recruitment and conduct of the administration. Brunei was nominally governed as an independent State by its Malay Sultan, but he was assisted by a British Resident, who was always a member of the Malayan Civil Service. Labuan, a small island off the coast of North Borneo, was administered as part of the Colony of the Straits Settlements, under the authority of the Governor of the Colony at Singapore.\n\n2.\n\nFor the purposes of military administration, these territories of North Borneo, Sarawak, Brunei and Labuan should be treated as a single territory to be known as British Borneo. The future relations of these territories with each other and the United Kingdom will be the responsibility of H.M. Government in the United Kingdom.\n\n3.\n\nThose portions of British Borneo occupied by Allied Forces should be brought under military administration. To this end, such powers should be assumed by proclamation as are necessary for the administration of the liberated territories. The powers and jurisdiction of all existing courts and tribunals should be suspended and in their place military courts should be set up which will derive their authority from proclamations and (pending the reinstatement of indigenous courts) deal with all offences committed by the civil population. Such courts should administer the indigenous laws modified or supplemented by proclamation as may be necessary for the security of the liberating forces and the maintenance of order.\n\n4.\n\nUntil it becomes possible, having regard to such military requirements, in the whole, or in part, of British Borneo, for civil administration to be re-established, civil affairs should be under a military administration deriving its authority from the Commander-in-Chief, South-West Pacific Area.\n\nRecommendations should be made when conditions enable civil administration to be transferred to the civil authorities.\n\n5.\n\nIn order to assist the Commander-in-Chief South-West Pacific Area (or the military commander designated by him) to carry out the military administration in accordance with the policy of His Majesty's Government, a Chief Civil Affairs Officer, British Borneo, with a nucleus staff of British officers, has been made available and plans have been made for additions to the staff as may be required. These civil affairs officers, so far as possible, have been drawn from the officials of the Governments of North Borneo, Sarawak and other British Colonies and from other personnel who know the country.",
