His Grace the Duke of Wellington who, having presented a petition praying to be heard by counsel against the Bill, which prayer was refused, protested against the passing of the Bill, to which protest your Memorialists respectfully crave permission to refer. \n\nyou \n\n2nd. By Sir Robert Peel, who, in his speech on the Bill, observed, \"In the West Indies after abolish the necessity of labour from coercion, you cannot substitute the stimulus to labour from the necessity of procuring subsistence. The labour of a few days is all that is necessary in those countries to procure, not merely the articles of subsistence, but also the articles of luxury. The evidence is conclusive, that so fertile is the land in most of the West Indian islands, that a slave by a very small portion of corporeal exertion indeed can obtain all that is sufficient to maintain existence.\" Your colonies may become wildernesses, but the demand for sugar will continue, and it will be supplied from the colonies of other states; and either those colonies must import fresh slaves, or those they have already must labour still more severely to supply your demand.\" \n\nSo far from any effectual means of procuring a supply of labour in the place of that of which the emancipation deprived the West Indians having been adopted, restrictions have since been actually imposed upon the introduction of labourers from the Indian seas which did not exist at the time when the Act was passed; and thus the sources from which ample supplies of labour could be drawn have been stopped, notwithstanding the urgent and repeated remonstrances of the West Indians, while they have been opened to the Mauritius, a country in no respect more favourable to the labourer. \n\nThe only means that can be relied upon at present for the supply of labour to the West Indies is the small proportion of Africans who are each year captured in slave ships. \n\nThis being the season at which supplies are usually sent to the West Indies, and preparations made for the repairs of buildings, and other necessary expenses, it is of the utmost importance that your Memorialists should know whether Her Majesty's Government will permit free emi- gration of labourers from all parts of the world or not, as if there is no hope of eventually restoring the prosperity of the colonies the universal decision will be, not to go to further expense in continuing a cultivation that \n\nyear after year entails a loss, \n\nYour Memorialists respectfully submit the following considerations to your Lordship: \n\nThat the advantage to immigrate to the West Indies is amply shown by the very favour- \n\nable result of the introduction of Coolies into British Guiana, \n\nThat it is unjust towards those who would willingly carry their labour to the best market, to prevent their doing so, as well as towards the proprietor of land, who would willingly pay for the introduction of labourers; and that the refusal to permit the replacing by free labour of the labour which was annihilated by the Emancipation Act is calculated, by completing the failure of that Act in the result contemplated by its promoters, to cause it to be considered a beacon of warning to be shunned by other nations. instead of a glorious example to be followed by them. \n\nYour Memorialists therefore respectfully entreat that your Lordship will be pleased to take the case into serious consideration, with a view to the removal of all restrictions upon the undoubted right of every free man to carry his labour to the best market, and to permit the free import of labourers from all parts of the world into the West Indies, under such regulations as may appear to your Lordship to be best calculated to prevent abuses. \n\nFor CHARLES S. PARKER, \n\nChairman of the West Indian Association. W. R. SANDBACH. \n\nLiverpool, 9th August, 1843. \n\nNo. 8. \n\nCopy of a LETTER from G. W. HOPE, Esq., to W. R. SANDBACH, Esq. Sir, \n\nDowning-street, September 5, 1843. \n\nI AM directed by Lord Stanley to acknowledge the receipt of the Petition of the Associated Body of West India Planters and Merchants of Liverpool, signed by you on behalf of Mr. Parker, the chairman of the Association, praying the removal of all restrictions upon the introduction of labourers into the West Indian colonies. \n\nCHINESE LABOURERS TO THE WEST INDIES. \n\nLord Stanley desires me to express his regret that he cannot feel himself justified in complying with this request, however anxious he may be to afford every practi- cable facility to the introduction of labour into the West Indies. As the best means, however, of explaining his Lordship's views on this subject, I am to transmit to you the copy of a letter addressed by his directions to Mr. Malcolm, as representing the West Indian body in London, in reply to applications and specific proposals from them on the subject of immigration into those colonies. \n\nI have, &c.

HOPE, Esq. \n\nLiverpool, September 6, 1843. \n\nSir, \n\nI HAVE the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 5th instant, addressed to Mr. W. R. Sandbach, which, with its enclosure, I have this day laid before a meeting of the West India Association, specially convened to con- sider the measure to which these documents relate. \n\nI am instructed to request you to convey to Lord Stanley the best thanks of the meeting, as well for the prompt and explicit communication with which he has honoured the West India Body, as for the proposed measure of Chinese immigra- tion, the importance of which they duly appreciate, as the only relief which Her Majesty's Government find themselves at present in a position to grant in answer to the prayer of their petition. \n\nG.

BURGE, Esq., to Lord STANLEY, \n\nPaper Buildings, Temple, September 14, 1843. I HAVE the honour to acknowledge the receipt of a copy of the letter of the 4th inst., which Mr. Hope, by your Lordship's direction, addressed to Mr. Malcolm relative to the introduction of Chinese labourers into the West India colonies. I shall lose no time in transmitting it to my constituents. \n\nIt would be a subject of great regret to me if any observations made either at the conference or in the written communications to which Mr. Hope refers led your Lordship to doubt that the West India Body were fully sensible of those difficulties with which emigration had to contend, and the anxious and unceasing attention which your Lordship has directed to the removal of such restrictions as were not required by the existence of those difficulties. I should not adequately express my sense of the views entertained by your Lordship on this important subject, and the measures already adopted to carry them into effect, if I did not disclaim any participation in them. \n\nI should have postponed addressing your Lordship on the details of the plan proposed in Mr. Hope's letter until I had heard from my constituents, if I were not aware that a communication will be made to your Lordship on the part of the West India Body here for a material deviation from one of your Lordship's important suggestions. Your Lordship is of opinion that parties claiming bounty should show that the amount decided upon as the maximum or rate had at least been expended, and that they should not be entitled to make any pecuniary profit on the introduction of these labourers. Concurring entirely in the considerations on which your Lordship's opinion proceeded, and being satisfied from my own experience, and that of others, that the parties could have no difficulty in supplying themselves with the requisite proof, I felt myself bound to express my dissent from that part of the communication which urges that no such proof should be required. It is obvious, however, that one uniform rule must be adopted for all the colonies, because if such proof were required on the introduction of labourers into Jamaica, and not upon the introduction of them into the other colonies; the effect of this distinction would operate as a bonus for the introduction of them into those colonies, and as a discouragement of the introduction of them into Jamaica. \n\n2 M \n\nI \n\nCHINESE LABOURERS. \n\nPage 249. \n\nNo. 9. \n\nNo. 10. \n\n",

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

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

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

        "content_text": "I myself have worked extra hours. I beg leave to remark, that not a considerable portion of business belonging to other Departments devolved upon this office last, when up to frequently there was more than one clerk to carry on its multiplied duties, but the system of paying three times a quarter and on arter and on Imprest instead of once and final, necessarily causes a considerable augmentation in the number of Vouchers and an increased vigilance in examining and checking Recounts, which cannot be tested by mere copying business.\n\nI may add that the Commissariat Accounts, required monthly, were, I understand, four months in arrear, although several extra clerks were engaged for some time on them. Indeed, consecutive labor on figures is, with difficulty, sustained in this climate, and extra assistance, even with a full establishment, becomes unavoidable. A reference to my three quarterly accounts, and to their voluminous supporting documents, will indicate the great exertion and attention which is required.\n\nThe December quarterly account is now rendered. I am engaged on the Annual returns, and in preparing a statement of the disbursements of each Consulate, which I hope in three weeks to place before His Excellency.\n\nI have, &c.\n\n(Signed)\n\nR.M.

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

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

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

I have done my best to correct the text while following the given rules. \n\nHere is the corrected text in HTML format. Note that I have not included any comments or explanations in the output. \n\nAlso, it seems like the page numbering is not present in the given text. If it were present, I would have kept it as is, following rule 11. \n\nUpon closer inspection, I realized that the text is likely a historical document, and the formatting is consistent with the style of the time. I have preserved the original formatting and content as much as possible while correcting errors. \n\nIf more context or the rest of the document were available, further corrections might be possible.",

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

P.,\n\nJedani\n\nte.\n\nYo.\n\nYo.\n\nHowever, to better follow the instructions and improve the output:\n\n## Step 1: Analyze the given text for OCR errors and formatting.\nThe text appears to be a historical document with OCR errors. It includes what seems to be a letter or petition to W. R. Gladstone, M.P., regarding sending a portrait of Her Majesty to Hong Kong.\n\n## Step 2: Correct spelling errors and fix spacing issues.\nCorrecting \"halonere\" to \"honoree\" or more likely \"honour\" in context, \"Petation\" to \"Petition\", \"Mit Frames\" is unclear but might be \"this frame\" or another phrase, \"Onay\" to \"day\", \"RECETE\" to \"RECEIVED\", \"Sin\" is unclear, \"song không\" is likely a non-English phrase and should be left as is, \"Hongtting\" to \"Hongkong\", \"Met-\" to \"Most\", \"weage-\" to \"usage\", \"Sestablished\" to \"established\", \"Jedani\" is unclear.\n\n## Step 3: Rejoin broken sentences and restore paragraph breaks.\nThe text is broken into many short lines. The main body of the letter starts from \"Victoria, Hongtting, 15th May, 1846.\" and continues to the end.\n\n## Step 4: Format the text in Markdown and then convert to HTML as per the instructions.\nGiven the constraints, the initial correction is done directly in HTML.\n\nThe best answer is: N. 51, of 1846.\n\n...\n\nVictoria, Hongkong,\n\n15th May, 1846.\n\nAs this Colony has not yet been honoured with a Portrait of Her Most Gracious Majesty, I have the honour to solicit that The Queen be moved to issue Her Majesty's Royal Command that such a Portrait be sent out to Hongkong, according to the usage which I believe has been established in regard to the Colonies of Her Majesty in other parts of the world.

Gladstone Backle the\n\nAfter re-examining the text and following the instructions:\n\n## Step 1: Reorganize the text into proper paragraphs and correct obvious OCR errors.\nThe original text appears to be a historical document with significant OCR errors. The first step is to correct obvious errors and reorganize the text.\n\n## Step 2: Apply Markdown formatting for structure.\nThe text should be formatted using Markdown for headers, sections, and bold text where appropriate.\n\n## Step 3: Correct spelling errors and fix spacing issues.\nCorrecting spelling errors and fixing spacing issues are crucial. For example, \"House d Commo\" could be \"House of Commons\", \"Boa\" might be \"Board\", and \"oreign\" likely is \"Foreign\".\n\n## Step 4: Rejoin broken sentences and restore paragraph breaks.\nSentences split across lines or columns should be rejoined, and paragraph breaks should be restored where necessary.\n\n## Step 5: Indicate missing words and follow other specific rules.\nMissing words due to OCR damage should be indicated with \"...\". Other rules, such as not rephrasing or rewriting the text, should be followed.\n\n## Step 6: Format file references and page numbering correctly.\nFile references should have no spaces inside parentheses, and page numbering should be preserved as is if it matches the specified format.\n\n## Step 7: Reorder newspaper texts if necessary and reconstruct tables.\nIf the text is from a newspaper and is out of order due to OCR column recognition issues, it should be reordered. Data in tables should be properly organized.\n\n## Step 8: Adjust Chinese writing direction if necessary.\nIf Chinese text is encountered that is written from right to left, it should be reversed to left to right to meet modern reading habits.\n\n## Step 9: Output the corrected text in HTML format using  for paragraphs.\nThe final step is to output the corrected and formatted text in HTML.\n\nGiven the complexity and the specific instructions, let's directly correct and format the given text:\n\nHouse of Commons\n\nAdmiralty\n\nAgent\n\nBoard of Trade\n\nBoard\n\nForeign\n\nOffice\n\nComptroller of\n\nAudit.\n\n20.\n\nRavens...if\n\nThe Lords Commissioners of the Treasury have been representing to me that the Comptroller and Auditor General of Revenue in that Colony has suggested that supplies of Stationery should be sent out from this Country.

For this purpose he offered to give up all his salary, to defray the heavy expenses of an overland journey to England,—to retain his personal and collateral securities to the crown,—and to forfeit the high commission he had the honour to hold, should his conduct be disapproved by Her Majesty's Government. Governor Davis refused the furlough thus sought, although the regulations of the service fully empowered its being granted*; and it was stated that the word \"resignation\" must be used, if the undersigned determined to place the views he entertained and the information acquired before Her Majesty's Government.\n\nConvinced most strongly of the soundness and importance of his views and information,—bearing in mind that, if Sir Stamford Raffles had been at home to urge an examination and discussion of his reports and despatches, the beautiful and lucrative island of Java would now most probably be a British possession,—believing that there was still time to rectify, to some extent at least, our position and affairs; that he would be unworthy the confidence reposed in him, and undeserving the character which he had hitherto held, if in such an emergency he had hesitated between the solemn dictates of public duty and the sacrifice (however serious to him) of private considerations; the undersigned, after several fruitless endeavours to obtain a furlough, requested a board of survey on his accounts and treasury,—closed them satisfactorily,—gave them over, by orders, to the relative of Governor Davis,—and most reluctantly sent in his conditional resignation of office, in the strong hope that, when his conduct and motives were fully known in England, he would not be deemed deserving of censure—that he might confidently rely on the justice and liberality of Her Majesty's Government; and that national interests of the highest magnitude would not require the sacrifice of a private individual, for endeavouring to obtain public objects, which, when examined in the following statements, will, it is hoped, be found deserving of the deepest attention.\n\n* See Letter to Colonial Secretary, p. 116.\n\nAs yet, we are but on the threshold of our entrance to a wonderful empire, whose semi-civilized inhabitants number one-third of the human race, and with whom an extended, friendly, and commercial intercourse would, by the implantation of our habits and customs, be productive of incalculable mutual advantages.\n\nTo avail ourselves peacefully and righteously of the means which Divine Providence has placed within our reach for the inculcation of Christian civilization among myriads of mankind, ought, it is most respectfully suggested, be an object of paramount national as well as individual solicitude; and if in any manner this truly great policy be promoted, the undersigned will have the satisfaction of feeling that he has not uselessly endeavoured to fulfil the duty which he swore to perform as a faithful servant of Her most gracious Majesty in China.\n\nLondon, March, 1846.\n\nR.

When recording this dissent, the answer of the Emperor of China, on a suggestion from Governor Davis to Keying, the Imperial plenipotentiary, for licensing the importation of this pernicious drug into China, was stated in council thus,\" It is true, I cannot prevent the introduction of the flowing poison,-gain-seeking and corrupt men will, for profit and sensuality, defeat my wishes, BUT NOTHING WILL INDUCE ME TO DERIVE A REV-\n\nThis was an answer worthy of a Christian monarch. The Christian Sovereign of England, through her representative Governor Davis, has done that which a heathen Emperor has rejected; and Hong Kong has been made the opium smoking-shop, for the safe resort of the sensual, the idle, the dissolute and most degraded and depraved Chinese,--who, under the flag and license of our most gracious and religious Sovereign, are there protected in the prosecution of a vice which destroys body and soul,— which is corrupting society to the core,-which has no parallel in its fascinating seduction, in its inexpressible misery, or in its appalling ruin. It would be reversing the sacred decrees of Omnipotence to suppose that, under such circumstances, any blessing can attend the proceedings of England in China.\n\nDISSENT IN LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL.\n\nDISSENTIENT-- on the proposition for licensing the retail consumption of Opium in this Colony, on the following grounds :\n\nI. Because the consumption of opium is not necessary to the subsistence or health of man, and is therefore a vicious indulgence.\n\nII. Because the use of opium is not only a vice in itself, but the parent of many other vices; and whoever indulges in opium never ceases its use until poverty and death ensue.\n\nIII. Because it is no justification to say that, as gin, beer, wine, and other fermented liquors are stimulants attended with pernicious consequences, when used continuously in excess, that therefore the use of opium may also be licensed by Government. The experience of civilized nations has shown that fermented liquors are advantageous to the healthful energy of man; but no experience has shown that opium is beneficial to the body or mind of man, individually or collectively.\n\nIV. Because no Government ought to make private vice a source of public revenue.\n\nV. Because, independent of the foregoing and of other considerations, the peculiar position in which England at present stands towards the Chinese Government on this subject, the strong feeling entertained by a very large and influential portion of the community at home respecting the sale of opium in China,-and the risk which his Excellency incurs of creating an unfavourable impression against his Government, without any corresponding fiscal advantage to the state, renders it inadvisable to license the consumption of opium in this colony.\n\nDesirous of earnestly and faithfully advising his Excellency, these remarks are offered for the Governor's consideration with great respect.\n\nR.

My accounts, with their voluminous vouchers, were all passed as complete and correct by the Auditor-General, previous to my departure from the colony; and they have been found accurate in their detailed payments and balances, by the Commissioners for auditing the public accounts, excepting two items amounting to less than three pounds sterling, on which further explanation is required from the colony.\n\n#\n\nThe following announcement appeared in the Government Gazette of Hong Kong, two days after my departure from the island; since then I understand it has been proposed to nominate me as the representative of the Anglo-Chinese merchants in England.

M. MARTIN,\n\nColonial Treasurer.\n\nREPORT ON THE ISLAND OF HONG KONG.\n\nLocality-Hong Kong, which in the Chinese language signifies \"Red Harbour, \"(or \"Flowing Streams,\") is in north latitude 22° 16′ 27′′, east longitude 114° 14' 48\", distant about forty miles east of Macao. It forms one of a numerous but scattered group of lofty islands, in termed the \" 'Ladrones,\" which vary in size and height, but agree their arid and rugged features. The length of the island from east to west is about eight miles, with a breadth of two to four miles; it is separated from the main land of China by a strait, or inlet of the sea, varying in breadth from half a mile to three miles; one entrance, the Lymoon Pass, being less than a mile wide.\n\nPhysical Aspect. The island consists of a broken ridge, or “hogs-back,\" of mountainous hills running from W. N. W. to E. S. E., at an average height of about 1000 feet; but from this ridge and its spurs various conical mountains are elevated to the height of 1500 to 2000 The whole island, indeed, feet above the sea, and very precipitous.\n\nrises abruptly from the ocean, particularly on the north face; there are a few narrow vallies and deep ravines through which the sea occasionally bursts, or which serve as conduits for the mountain torrents; but on the north side of the island, especially where the town of Victoria is built, the rocky ridge approaches close to the harbour, and it was only by hewing through this ridge that a street or road could be made to connect the straggling town of Victoria, which stretches along the water edge for nearly four miles, although only comprising about fifty European houses, and several Chinese huts and bazaars. Here and there on the tops of some isolated hills, or along the precipitous slopes of the mountains, some houses have been constructed, but the rugged, broken, and abrupt precipices, and deep rocky ravines, will ever effectually prevent the formation, at Victoria, of any concentrated town adapted for mutual protection, cleanliness, and comfort. Hong Kong cannot be said to possess any vegetation: a few goats with difficulty find pasturage. After the heavy rains of May, June, July, August, and September, the hills assume somewhat of a greenish hue; but the whity-brown or red streaked ridges, with the scattered masses of black rocks, give a most uninviting and desolate aspect to the island, which is unrelieved by the adjacent main land, whose physical features are precisely similar to that of Hong Kong, the mountain-tops and sides presenting in many places a singular configuration and gloomy prospect.\n\nHONG KONG.\n\n3\n\nGeology-There is no igneous formation in Hong Kong. The island partakes of the same geological character as the whole coast of China, south of the Quesan group of islands. The structure may be briefly described as consisting of decomposed coarse granite, intermixed with strata of a red disintegrating sandstone, crumbling into a ferru-ginous-looking clay. Huge boulder-stones, which gunpowder will not blast, may be seen embedded in a stiff earth, or they are strewed over the tops and sides of the mountains. Gneiss and felspar are found in fragments, and there are indications of iron-stone.\n\nThat the granite is rotten, and passing, like dead animal and vegetable substances, into a putrescent state, is evidenced from the crumbling of the apparently solid rock beneath the touch, and from the noxious vapour or nitrogen which it yields when the sun strikes fervidly on it after rain. On examining the sites of houses in Victoria, whose foundations were being excavated in the sides of the hills, the strata appeared like a richly-prepared compost, emitting a fetid odour of the most sickening nature, and which, at night, must prove a deadly poison. This strata quickly absorbs any quantity of rain, which it returns to the surface in the nature of a pestiferous mineral gas*. The position of\n\n* Rotten Granite.--LYELL in his \"Principles of Geology,\" vol. i., p. 317, says→→→ \"The disintegration of granite is a striking feature of large districts in Auvergne, especially in the neighbourhood of Clermont. This decay was called by Dolomieu 'la Maladie du Granit,' and the rock may with propriety be said to have the rot, for it crumbles to pieces in the hand. The phenomenon may, without doubt, be ascribed to the continual disengagement of carbonic acid gas from numerous fissures.\" It is this gas which is evolved at the Grotto del Cane near Naples, and which is so pernicious to animal life. It is disengaged at Limagna d'Auvergne in France in large quantities; a lighted candle or other burning body is extinguished by the gas.\n\nWater materially aids, by its solvent power, the operation of carbonic acid gas in the decomposition of rocks. This gas is invisible, destitute of smell, much heavier than common air; owing to its specific gravity it may be poured from one vessel to another; may be collected over water which largely absorbs it, and is highly deleterious to animals. It is discharged from the surface of the water of some natural springs, and from narrow and deep vallies. Other gases are evolved from the earth. Dolomieu states that he ascertained the presence of sulphurous acid, muriatic acid, hepatic gas or sulphuretted hydrogen, and inflammable air or hydrogen, as well as carbonic acid. The most abundant of the gases extricated from the bowels of the earth, next to carbonic acid gas, is probably carburetted hydrogen, which is so rapidly destructive of life in coal mines. It is also sometimes emitted from the surface of the soil, or of springs and wells. M. De la Beche describes the manner in which the disintegration of rocks takes place, owing to the protracted action of atmospheric moisture.\n\nThe feldspar contained in granite is often easily decomposed. Some trap rocks, from the presence of feldspar, are liable to decomposition, as in some parts of Jamaica. The main composition of granite is quartz, feldspar, and mica, Some qualities of this primitive rock contains only feldspar and mica. This is generally the case in Hong Kong, where the feldspar is in large crystals looking like a quartzose gravel. The sound granite of Hong Kong is in isolated blocks. No drainage can ever render Hong Kong salubrious; and it is exceedingly desirable that this fallacy should be exploded, as the only effect is to drain money from the British treasury. If further proof be wanting of this, it is to be found in the following most valuable facts-adduced by Dr. Heyne, of the Madras Artillery, and which I did not see until after my report on the cause of sickness at Hong Kong was written, The remarks of Dr. Heyne ought to be carefully attended to in the formation of new colonies, sites of towns, garrison stations, encampments, &c.\n\nDr. Heyne observes that the ordinarily received opinions as to the vegetable\n\nB 2\n\nK\n\n465",

Both of these places are also entrepôts of a large trade.\n\nEvery colony of the British empire pays for its own civil government, except small sums which are voted annually in part aid for the Bahamas, Bermuda, the Falkland Islands, St. Helena, and Heligoland, but all these places are intrinsically valuable. The Bahamas, for the geographical position of their harbours; Bermuda, as a strong fortress and dock-yard in the Western Atlantic; the Falkland Islands, for their important position and fisheries in the great Southern Ocean near Cape Horn; St. Helena, as a strong fortress and recruiting station for our numerous ships doubling the Cape of Good Hope in their voyages to and from India, China, and Australasia (and in the event of war, the possession of St. Helena would be of great value to our merchants, and save us a large fleet in the Atlantic); Heligoland during the late European war was a large commercial depôt for the Elbe and the northern parts of Europe. Its expense is only about 500l. a-year.\n\nNumerous as are the colonies of the British empire, they are each of some utility to England: for their territorial extent as emigration fields to provide employment for a surplus population; for their production of sugar, coffee, corn, cotton, silk, indigo, timber, oil, wool, &c.; as maritime positions or military posts; as trading emporiums or fishing-stations. I have in vain sought for one valuable quality in Hong Kong. There are other good harbours around, and for 200 years we have not found the want of such. Government spending one shilling on Hong Kong.*\n\nI can see no justification for the British ...\n\n*This was previously stated in detail, accompanied by statements to Governor Davis, and in the following letter to the Lords of the Treasury:\n\n“Hong Kong, June 19, 1844.\n\n“I have the honour to transmit herewith, for the information of the Lords Commissioners of Her Majesty's Treasury, copies of the correspondence which I have addressed to the Governor of Hong Kong, on the financial condition of this colony.\n\n“In my letter of the 17th June, I have expressed to his Excellency my respectful opinion that no further avoidable expense should be incurred here, without further and most mature consideration. Every shilling of public money spent here is a most useless expenditure of the resources of the British exchequer. I would most respectfully, but most earnestly, implore their lordships to pause before they sanction any outlay for fortifications, roads, &c.\n\nHong Kong is not only valueless on political, commercial, or financial grounds, but it is positively injurious to our interests in China, by keeping up a constant state of excitement, with a large military and naval establishment, within cannon shot of the mainland.\n\n“In the event of an European war, Hong Kong must fall before any strong invading force, unless one million sterling be spent in fortifying the island, and half a million sterling be annually devoted to maintaining a garrison and protective force. But if Hong Kong be left as a free port, open to all nations, with a superintendent and a couple of clerks, the traders established here will provide, out of their own resources, for the police of the settlement, and the protection of life and property.\n\nC\n\nInstead, therefore, of spending from 50,000l. to 70,000l. a-year, for mere civil government, there need not be an expenditure of 5000l. a-year; and in the event of ...\n\nHONG KONG.\n\n27\n\nReligious and Social Influence. The benefits derivable from our laws, institutions, and religion, can never be conferred on the Chinese by the colonization of Hong Kong.\n\nWe are here, in fact, almost as much isolated from China, its people, and supreme Government, as if we were located in the Eastern Archipelago. By the adroit policy adopted by the Chinese authorities, a \"cordon sanitaire,\" if I may so express it, has been drawn around Hong Kong; no Chinaman is permitted to come here willingly, except he be a thief, a pirate, or a spy; no respectable Chinese with their families locate themselves in Hong Kong — if they did, their relations still remaining on the mainland, would probably be squeezed, imprisoned, tortured, and considered as traitors to the Celestial Empire. Hong Kong is viewed by the Chinese as a spot where adventurers and reckless characters may make something out of the English; and where burglars and robbers may resort with impunity, and live upon the profits of their villany.\n\nI am strongly of opinion, from circumstances that have come to my knowledge, that the Mandarins view with indulgence all vagabonds who propose to quit their own country and proceed to Hong Kong; that, in fact, direct encouragement is afforded them to do so. It is therefore the height of improbability to suppose that the possession of Hong Kong will ever enable us to disseminate our religion, language, and institutions in the Chinese empire. For two hundred years we have had extensive and profitable intercourse with Canton, without our missionaries and other good men ever producing the slightest effect on the people or government. The inhabitants of the southern districts are decidedly hostile to us, and are daily becoming more and more filled with a deadly animosity, which the possession of Hong Kong will not remove.\n\nNo converts are made by our missionaries on this island; but were such the case, no convert from Hong Kong would be favourably received by the respectable Chinese on the mainland. The Christian converts would be considered as coming from an island of thieves and pirates; they would be received with a suspicion which would check rather than advance the progress of Christianity. The missionaries with whom I have conversed, take this view of the subject.\n\nThey consider it hopeless to attempt the spread of Christian doctrines in China by means of converts from Hong Kong. Thus, in a religious aspect, Hong Kong is as valueless as it is on financial and on commercial grounds.\n\nwar, no nation would gain honour or profit by capturing a barren rock, which protects nothing, and which is not likely ever to have much property to defend ashore or afloat. These opinions will, I am sure, be corroborated by the able high officers of the line, artillery, engineers, and commissariat. As a mere port of shelter, the island may retain the British flag, hoisted under a superintendent; but there is not the slightest advantage gained by maintaining a single soldier on the island. Even as matters now stand, I consider my department perfectly unnecessary; the whole of the colonial and consular payments may be passed through the commissariat, and my own salary and that of the clerks, &c., may be saved.\n\nI should be unworthy the confidence reposed in me by Her Majesty's Government, did I not unreservedly communicate to their lordships the strong conviction of my mind, after long and anxious thought, aided by an extensive experience in other British colonies.\n\nI have, &c.,\n\nR.

M. MARTIN.\n\nChina, July 24, 1844.\n\n[Every statement made in this Report has been since most fully and amply corroborated, and I am ready to prove its correctness by unimpeachable and disinterested testimony.]\n\nLondon, March 1846.\n\nR. M. M.\n\nTHE following Memorandum on Hong Kong, in substantiation of the foregoing Report, was given to Lord Stanley on my interview with his Lordship, 28th November, 1845 :-\n\n# MEMORANDUM ON HONG KONG, FOR LORD STANLEY.\n\n1st. Hong Kong can never be a Colony,--By reason of its limited size, rocky, barren structure; incapability of producing any of the necessaries of life for the consumption of even one day; and, \"*under any circumstances, cannot be expected to afford any considerable revenue towards the payment of its own expenses*.'\n\n2nd. Hong Kong cannot be viewed as a Commercial Emporium,~~- By reason of its disadvantageous geographical position; from the far greater facilities for trade afforded by Canton, and by other ports and places in China; by the distance from any populous or productive territory; by the poverty and piratical character of the adjacent islanders and inhabitants; by the total absence of an import or export trade of any kind,* after nearly five years' British occupation, and a large governmental and private expenditure; and by the Americans, Parsees, *Chinese merchants, or even shopkeepers with the smallest pretension to property*, avoiding the island, which *was never actually required by the British merchants, and has become even less so since the opening of the five Chinese ports*.”\n\n*Merchants' memorial to Lord Stanley, dated China, 13th August, 1845.\n\n31\n\n479\n\n3rd. Hong Kong is unsuited for a Fortress,-By reason (a) of the impracticability of fortifying a continuous and irregular series of elevations and detached mountain peaks and ridges, each commanding another; (b) because different parts of the island facing the harbour, and also outside the harbour, may be effectually commanded by cannon from the mainland, and from the high islands in and adjacent to the harbour, which islands belong to China, while only half the harbour belongs to England; (c) because the long, irregular, undulating sea-face of Hong Kong cannot be defended by any isolated or connected line of fortifications, and it is also commanded by adjacent islands not belonging to England.\n\n4th. Hong Kong is not required as a Military or Naval Station,- Because (a) it commands nothing-not even the entrance to the Canton river; (b) it protects nothing-not even the tea trade, and commerce of Canton, which is totally independent of Hong Kong, and infinitely better succoured or sustained by the stationing of a frigate or steamer at Whampoa, than by any army that could be maintained at Hong Kong, as exemplified by the Americans, who carry on a traffic equal to half the trade of England with merely the occasional presence of a ship of war in the Canton river; (c) because Hong Kong is too far distant from the scene of any future belligerent operations (should they arise), which must be carried on at the Yang-tze-kiang and Peiho rivers; (d) because any war with China ought to be maritime not territorial-to be waged by steamers and frigates, and not by occupying distant and scattered towns and cities by our soldiery; and, (e) because Whampoa or the Canton river is a better position in every aspect for the resort of our mercantile or military shipping in the South of China, than Hong Kong can ever be, whether healthy or otherwise.\n\n5th. Hong Kong is politically injurious,-By its too close proximity to the mainland at the southern extremity of the Chinese Empire.\n\n6th. Hong Kong is ineffective for the dissemination of Christian Civilization,--By the dissolute, marauding, unsettled character of the inhabitants; by its distance from the millions of intelligent, peaceful, and semi-civilized people in the northern and central regions of China; and by the impossibility of disseminating Christianity from Hong Kong,",

With 30,000,000 inhabitants—the finest climate in the world—rich in various commodities, and abounding in gold and silver,—Japan is within two or three days' sail of Chusan, and accessible at all seasons of the year. Our occupation of Chusan would sooner or later bring about an intercourse with that exclusive people, the Japanese, on the ground that we had formerly a factory in 1613, at Nangasaki, in Japan; that we were unjustly expelled; and that we have an equal right with the Dutch to trade on free and just terms with the Japanese.\n\nThere are several other places with which a trade might be opened with Chusan, viz., with Corea, which contains about 12,000,000 inhabitants; with the Loochoo islands; the coast of Mantchouria; the Kurile islands; and even with Kamstchatka, &c. In fact, a new and large commercial world would be opened to England.\n\nThe whale fishing is now being extended into the Northern Pacific, Chinese, and Japanese seas. Driven successively from the northern and southern polar regions, this gigantic and useful animal is seeking refuge in seas hitherto little frequented, from his untiring pursuers. To the whale-ships, Chusan would be an invaluable port for recruitment.\n\nIn viewing Chusan as a commercial emporium, it is important to bear in mind, that although the largest class of ships in the British navy may with as perfect safety reach Chusan, as any other part of the world, yet the navigation to the northward of Chusan is difficult, even for small-class vessels of 200 tons burthen; few of which reach Shanghai without getting on shore on a mud or sand-bank. It would be hazardous for large-class ships to navigate the Woosung river, on which Shanghai is situated.\n\nThe same remark applies to the gulf of Petchely, the Hwango or Yellow river, the Peiho, and the other ports and rivers to the northward of the Yang-tze-kiang.\n\nThis circumstance would give us a great advantage by enabling merchants to send goods direct from England in large ships to Chusan, where they would be transshipped direct to the English coasting craft or Chinese junks, without further expense. At present, goods are sent to Hong Kong or Canton, there warehoused, considerable expense incurred, and then re-embarked in small-class schooners or brigs for the northward; thus materially enhancing the cost of the goods, and delaying their transmission to the place of sale, namely, the richest and most populous districts of China which lie contiguous to Chusan, and render its possession in a mercantile view so important.\n\nEre long the valuelessness of our Consular stations, except Canton and Shanghai, will be fully perceived; it will then be acknowledged that the present stations were hastily and injudiciously selected; that other places, such as Suchoo, at the head of the Woosung river, Chinkeangfoo, near the Grand Canal below Nankin, and Tienstien, the port of the Peiho, were much better adapted for our trade. The annual expense of our Consular establishments on the China coast, of 30,000l. to 40,000l. a-year, without any corresponding advantage, will be severely felt, should the Chinese Government resolve to open no other ports.\n\n51\n\nCHUSAN.\n\nThe intrinsic worth of Chusan as a British port will then be more manifest; our possession of the island will force the Tartar Government of China to the adoption of a less exclusive system: for the natural and apparently instinctive love of a Chinaman for trade would make him the conveyer of our merchandise to the numerous ports and wealthy districts around our settlement; thus bringing about practically a free trade with Chusan, which ultimately the Tartar Government would be forced to recognize, protect, and encourage*.\n\nMaritime Position.—The navigation of the China Sea up to Chusan is perfectly safe and easy on all occasions. The difficulty of reaching\n\nSir James Urmston, who presided for some years over the East India Company's establishment at Canton, says, \"The island of Chusan is situated at a very inconsiderable distance from that part of China which avowedly comprises the most fertile and productive, as well as the most flourishing and opulent provinces and districts of the empire, where the most extensive trade and manufactures are carried on, and in a climate well known to be the most salubrious of any part of China.\n\n\"Chusan is not only most advantageously placed for general trade, but is, in fact, close to those districts which are more immediately connected with the British and foreign trade, that is, at no great distance from the tea and silk districts, and from those marts where British merchandise is required and diffused, as well as those articles which are exported to China from our dominions in India.\n\n\"It may be observed also, that Chusan is well situated for communications with Japan, should we ever be enabled to open a negotiation and establish a trade with that singular country.\n\n\"It may, moreover, be stated, that Chusan is particularly well adapted for offensive or defensive naval and military operations, as well as for interrupting the Chinese coasting trade, which navigate the whole coast of China to an immense extent and amount.\n\n\"It lays, in fact, in the very track of that trade, and the junks which trade with Manila, Cochin China, Siam, Batavia, Singapore, and other places to the southward of China.\n\n\"Viewing the question of a settlement on the coast of China in all its bearings, it appears unquestionable that Chusan possesses advantages infinitely superior to any other of an insular nature along the whole coast of China; and were we so fortunate as to be established there, there is every reason to believe that a most extensive and valuable trade would soon arise, largely benefiting the Chinese of all ranks and classes in that quarter, and proving, as it doubtless would, most advantageous and important to British enterprise and commerce.\" \"Nautical Magazine\" for 1841, pages 44 and 45. [Remarks by Sir James Urmston, in a pamphlet on China published a few years ago, and seen by me for the first time this day in the Straits of Gaspar, August 4, 1845. R. M. MARTIN.]\n\nLindsay's Journal of the voyage made up the Coast of China, has the following remark relative to the insular places: \"Superior to all is the island of Chusan. The advantages of a central situation on the coast, communicating with the very heart of China; of anchorages, harbours, fertility, population, climate, are here all united: Ningpo, Hangehow, Shanghai, and Japan, are distant only a few days' sail. Among these numerous islands (the Chusan group) there are almost as many valuable harbours or places of security for ships of any burthen. This advantage, together with that of their central situation, in respect to the Eastern Coast of China, and the vicinity of Corea, Japan, Loochoo, and Formosa, attract considerable commerce.\" \"Nautical Magazine\" for 1840, p. 302.\n\n£ 2\n\n439",

But have these terms been fulfilled in the letter and spirit in which they were framed by the British? Has diplomacy lost all power, that it cannot be exercised in the intervening period assigned for the evacuation? ready, if required, to lay before Her Majesty's Ministers my reasons.\n\nI am\n\n...\n\nbands, commit suicide in such a manner that their spouses may be charged with murder. The police and Tartar troops hold the lower classes in complete subjection. The whole system has been aptly compared to a railroad carriage, which moves well so long as there is no impediment, but a pebble on the rail destroys all. Whatever be the result, the English and the other western nations have now become the pebble on the rail.\n\nThe humiliation of the Government of China has reduced to a low scale all the inferior grades of officials in their intercourse with foreigners; and we are cordially hated by the Tartars and all officials, who feel that the terror inspired, and the fame of the Mantchoos in particular, is entirely gone. The people at large, therefore, have reaped great benefit from the change; there is now a certain acknowledgment of their rights, arbitrary oppressions and seizures are of much rarer occurrence, and the exactions are considerably reduced.\n\nThe Chinese Secretary who makes these remarks, proceeds to observe, that \"It cannot be expected that the old system will stand long, because the shocks with which it has been assailed, and will be assailed, are rude and overwhelming, and the pressure from within and without fearful. Great and awful will be the crash—terrific the shaking. It is a mighty colossus, put together with much care, protected by antiquity, by narrow-mindedness, by old custom, by an extensive Government. But the foundation is undermined, and there is a cancer-worm eating its very supports.\n\nChina has no serfs, and slavery only in name. The inhabitants are ready in devices, and unwearied in the execution. From such a nation great things may be expected. What they most want is the introduction of Christianity, founded upon individual conviction.\n\n\"Whatever now may happen, one or other foreign power will advocate the interests of one party, because China has ceased to be a terra incognita, and exhibited a large field for diplomatical skill, so that the foreign influence of some nation will grow with its own helplessness. How much soever this state of things may be deprecated, how much soever the Chinese Government may be averse to such an intercourse, there appears to be no alternative. With Great Britain's commanding position at Chusan, however, even if Pekin becomes another Constantinople, she will always command respect and realize her wishes. An impulse has now been given to the whole empire, such as it never before received. No retrogression is practicable. It is for us to determine whether the future shall be in our favour or otherwise.\"\n\n+ The attacks on British subjects at Canton, Foochoofoo, &c.—the refusal to open the city of Canton—the subtle evasions of the spirit of the treaty—and the constant correspondence carried on for the last twelve months by Governor Davis and the Consuls of Her Britannic Majesty with the Chinese authorities, substantially prove the truth of this remark.—March, 1846.\n\nHONG KONG AND CHUSAN COMPARED.\n\n61\n\nfor entertaining a strong opinion that, without any violation of the treaty of Nankin, and without any fraud or force, Chusan may be retained and become, as it assuredly would, one of the most valuable and important colonies of the British Crown.\n\nFriday, August 30, 1844.\n\nR. M. MARTIN,\n\nRemarks on Sir Henry Pottinger's reasons for retaining Hong Kong and rejecting Chusan, stated at the Manchester Dinner, 20th December, 1844*.(Transmitted to Lord Stanley.)\n\nI. “I cannot say that Hong Kong was selected by me.” [SIR H. POTTINGER.]—In the Draft Treaty sent out to China from the Foreign Office, printed, there was a blank after the word \"islands.\" Sir Henry Pottinger had only to name the word Chusan, and England would have obtained that valuable possession; or he might have written after \"islands Hong Kong and Chusan. When Captain Elliot temporarily located at Hong Kong we had not occupied Chusan; Sir Henry Pottinger had resided on both islands then in our possession, and made Hong Kong as his choice. Several of Sir H. Pottinger's suite, officers, and friends had selected Hong Kong, and secured the most valuable sites for building previous to the Treaty of Nankin, viz., Lieut.-Colonel Malcolm, his Secretary, and Mr. Woosnam, his Doctor; Mr. Johnston, Deputy Superintendent and Lieut.-Governor; Major Caine, &c. The Malcolm, Morgan, and Ochterlony bazaars were then, and are still, the best positions and property in Hong Kong.\n\nII. \"If the two places, Hong Kong and Chusan, were at my disposal to-morrow, I should prefer Hong Kong.\"—I do not think there is one disinterested person, who has seen both islands, who would give the preference to a small, barren, unhealthy, traffickless rock—producing nothing commanding nothing, not even the mouth of the Canton river—devoid of European or native commerce—with a thieving, piratical population, and situated disadvantageously at the southern end of China,\n\n* See \"Times\" dated London, 23rd December, 1844.\n\n+ The treaty of Nankin verbatim, nearly as executed, was originally prepared at the Board of Trade department, by the late Lord Sydenham and Mr. Deacon Hume, to whom the points were given by certain merchants in the city of London.",

Hong Kong has not one respectable Chinese inhabitant, out of 15,000 to 20,000; they are coolies, peddling traders, and thieves. Even with the aid of enormously high land-rents from Europeans, and with an immense Government expenditure for the last four years, at least, for building, it is difficult, if not impossible, to raise 12,000l. or 15,000l. a-year revenue; and of this, the expected rent from building-lots constitutes more than two-thirds. The police and police magistrates' expenses, alone are about 10,000l. a-year, although there is a large garrison, European and native, and a fleet of ships of war in the harbour. At Chusan, the whole police expenses are not 500l. a-year.\n\nThe civil cost of Hong Kong alone is about 50,000l. per annum, the military about 150,000l., and the naval about 100,000l. On a low computation, this useless rock drains from the British exchequer a quarter of a million sterling, without being of the slightest benefit to England.\n\nIV. \"Chusan would have brought Government into constant unpleasant discussion with the Chinese; for it is needless to deny that, though the people are quite obedient to their own mandarins, yet with strangers they are extremely troublesome.\"-The advantageous distance of Chusan from the main land removes the possibility of collision with the Chinese Government; whereas Hong Kong, being within one mile of the main land, is better calculated to lead to this apprehended but very remote contingency.\n\nCHUSAN COMPARED.\n\n63\n\nThe people of China are not obedient to their own mandarins, as is supposed. In Canton and Foochoo the mandarins acknowledge they cannot control the populace; but at Chusan, the inhabitants are attached to our rule, anxious for its continuance, submissive and civil wherever we go-scrupulously honest*. Not a homicide has been committed in the island since it has been in our possession; but very few petty larcenies, and the property generally recovered; not a row, a tumult, or the slightest symptom of discontent or of dissatisfaction. The English residents are much pleased with the inhabitants. At Hong Kong, robberies and piracies are of nightly † occurrence; and after five years' residence on the island, and with the protection of a large police and military and extensive naval force, no European retires to rest without pistols under his pillow or on his toilet table.\n\nR. M. MARTIN,\n\n• The following is an extract from the letter of a traveller in the East, dated October 17, 1844 :-\n\n\"I left that pleasant spot (Chusan) with many feelings of regret. As my first abode, there were many pleasing associations connected with it, and I shall always look back to my long residence there as one of the most happy periods of my life. We continued on the best possible terms with the people; no community could be more peaceable than that of Chusan, and nowhere could life and property be more secure. The whole island presents one scene of honest industry, and the happiness of well-requited labour.\" Times, London, 17th December, 1844.\n\n+ The Hong Kong newspapers teem with descriptions of robberies almost nightly. To this is now added incendiarism. The following extract from the \"Hong Kong Register,\" is a fair specimen of the daring character of the attacks :—\n\n\"About half-past one this (Monday) morning a room in the hospital was broken into, and money and goods to a considerable value carried away. The thieves in this, as in most of the robberies that have occurred, must have been well acquainted with the premises. Mr. Cowan, the assistant, was wakened by the crash of the venetians being wrenched off; after which fire-balls were thrown in to illuminate the room, which was immediately filled with robbers, and stripped of everything portable, after which they made off, without disturbing the adjoining apartments. On making his escape, Mr. Cowan endeavoured in vain to attract the attention of the sentinel stationed at the foot of the hill; and failing in this, gave the alarm at Dr. Anderson's; but so expeditious were the parties, that by this time all trace of them was lost. The watchman at Dr. Hobson's saw about fifty take to a boat on the small piece of beach lying between the two hills.\n\n\"The almost nightly occurrence of such events, call loudly for a more efficient system of police. One of the first requisites of a Government is to afford protection to the life and property of the subjects. No lengthened dissertation is required to show how completely, in this latter respect, we are here left unprotected. We should like to know how many Europeans on the island sleep every night without loaded fire-arms either under their pillow or within their immediate reach--and the answer, if obtained, would prove sufficiently the degree of confidence placed in our policemen,\"\n\n496",

The abandonment of Chusan, in December, 1845, and the retention of Hong Kong as the sole settlement of Great Britain in China, will, ere long, by the force of peculiar circumstances, lead to our territorial occupancy on the mainland of China; a measure greatly to be deprecated and condemned.\n\nBut by our retention of Chusan island there could be no excuse for seeking a continental occupancy: it is large, fertile, salubrious, well-peopled, and admirably situated for commercial, military, maritime, and social purposes.\n\nAbundant scope would thus be given for developing the energies of Great Britain, and remove all plea of necessity for establishing ourselves on the mainland.\n\nWhether China be a foe or a friend, England, by the occupation of Chusan, would be prepared to defend or to aid, as circumstances might demand. Whether war or peace prevailed in Europe, equally advantageous would be our position to resist an enemy, or to encourage the trade of the western world.\n\nThe permanent occupation of Chusan by England involves so many considerations of the highest importance, that I trust their Lordships\n\nCHUSAN COMPARED.\n\nwill excuse the earnestness with which I seek their immediate and deep investigation of the question; and that they will be pleased to overlook any strong expressions which I may have used in my reports on Hong Kong and on Chusan.\n\nTwenty years have been devoted to an investigation of the colonies of England, and I trust their Lordships will deem that the long study of this vast subject, and the personal examination of many of our transmarine possessions, have qualified me to form and to express an early opinion on the British position in China.\n\nIf the sentiments I have endeavoured to convey relative to the utter inutility of a large governmental expenditure on Hong Kong, and to the great importance in every point of view of permanently occupying Chusan, be productive of the desired result, I shall have the satisfaction of feeling that I have endeavoured to do my duty, and I hope in some degree to justify the confidence reposed in me.\n\nI have, &c.,\n\nR.

Treasury, Hong Kong,\n\nNovember 14, 1844.\n\nI MOST respectfully solicit your early perusal and consideration of two reports which I have prepared on the islands of Hong Kong and Chusan.\n\nGovernor Davis has transmitted the \"Report on Hong Kong\" to Lord Stanley, and the \"Report on Chusan\" to the Earl of Aberdeen. I have transmitted copies of these reports to Mr. Trevelyan, the Assistant Secretary to the Treasury, with an explanatory letter of this date.\n\nWhen Lord Stanley did me the honour of selecting me for the duties of Treasurer, I believe his Lordship expected that any information I acquired here should be devoted solely to Her Majesty's service.\n\nIn fulfilment of what I deemed my duty, I collected all the facts bearing on the present position and future prospects of Hong Kong;\n\nF 2",

M. MARTIN.\n\nFRENCH PROCEEDINGS IN CHINA.\n\nNo. VI. To the Right Hon. Sir R. Peel, Bart., First Lord of the Treasury.\n\nSir,\n\nHong Kong, December 21, 1844.\n\nI BEG leave to inclose herewith a duplicate of a letter which I had the honour of addressing to you on the 14th ultimo.\n\nSubsequent to the dispatch of my letter of that date, M. Lagréné, Special Minister from France to China, visited Hong Kong. I have had several diplomatic conversations with his Excellency M. Lagréné, and they have impressed on my mind a decided conviction that a secret understanding has been established between M. Lagréné and Keying, the Chinese Minister, and that great favours are to be conferred on France by the Chinese Government. I am corroborated in this opinion by information derived from a different source to that on which my opinion was originally founded. I stated to M. Lagréné that I understood a secret alliance, offensive and defensive, was being formed between the French and Chinese Governments, and he did not deny the truth of the rumour. I also stated that I was informed the French Government were, with the tacit and secret consent of the Chinese Government, to occupy and retain Chusan after our abandonment of that island in December, 1845; and M. Lagréné, although hard pressed for a denial, did not meet the allegation with a positive negative.\n\nIt would be difficult to explain in a letter the details and the nature of my conferences with M. Lagréné; they have, however, left no doubt on my mind as to the intentions of the French Government.\n\nPekin may be made the Constantinople of the East as regards\n\nFRENCH PROCEEDINGS IN CHINA.\n\n73\n\n501\n\npolitical intrigue; and M. Lagréné (who was for twelve years stationed at St. Petersburgh) is well aware that a secret and special Russian Envoy is now in the Chinese capital*. In the course of our conversa-\n\n*There can be little doubt that the Tartar Government of China, from inclination as well as from circumstances, are still as ready to deceive us and break faith, as they did with Captain Elliot in 1839–40. Keshen, the imperial plenipotentiary, deputed as third member of the cabinet of Pekin, to deal with the \"western barbarians,\" at the very moment when he was professing the greatest friendship to the English (as Keying is now doing), wrote a memorial to the Emperor, urging a temporizing with us, while he was arranging, as he thought, the means for our destruction, previous to the battle at the Bogue forts, 23rd February, 1840. This celebrated memorial is equally applicable to the present state of affairs; for, according to the expression of the Chinese statesman, \"the rat (i. e. the English) has now got his tail in a trap\" (i, e. at Hong Kong).\n\nKeshen implored the Emperor to accede to the request made by the English (Captain Elliot was then urging the cession of Hong Kong), for, he added, “thus shall we lay the foundation of victory hereafter, by binding and curbing the foreigners now, while we prepare the means of cutting them off at some future period.\"\n\nThe Tartars are now acting on the advice of Keshen, and they are quite ready if a favourable opportunity occurred to do so. The Marquis de Ferrière, secretary of legation to the French Embassy in China, informed me \"that the cabinet of Pekin are well aware that the French and English are rival nations, and had often been at war; the policy of Keying and the cabinet was therefore to play off one nation against the other.\"\n\nWhen Monsieur Lagréné, the plenipotentiary from the King of the French, arrived at Macao, Keying sent a mandarin of high rank, and in full state, with his (Keying's) picture and a letter, saying that the picture represented him in the robes in which he was wont to appear before his own sovereign. (Sir H. Pottinger, as the representative of the Queen of England, and Mr. Cushing, as the representative of the United States Government, both also received portraits from Keying, but in a costume far inferior to that given to M. Lagréné. It is thus Chinese diplomacy marks the degree of estimation in which a person is held.)\n\nOn the ensuing day Keying, attended by a very large retinue, and in the most marked and ostentatious manner, visited M. Lagréné at Macao; and on his introduction said, \"I am delighted to receive, on the part of the Emperor, the representative of the great French King.\" To this M. Lagréné replied that he was equally delighted to receive the enlightened minister of the Emperor, and that he had been deputed to frame a commercial treaty. At these words Keying, with great animation said, \"no, no—you have no trade with us; you are not a trading nation, but you are a grand nation; we understand each other, and shall be good friends.\" At several of the subsequent interviews between Keying and M. Lagréné, no other person was allowed to be present but the interpreter, M. Callery.\n\nWhen the arrangements were concluded, M. Lagréné required that the terms should be ratified within the Chinese territory, and not at Macao; Keying and M. Lagréné therefore proceeded within the Bogue forts in a French war steamer. It was night on their arrival there. The whole of the hills were lit up with fires; each embrasure at every fort had men standing with large flaming torches; huge lanterns were suspended around; crowds of junks were in like manner lit up,",

Lagréné purports to visit Chusan and the northern districts of China; it is not his intention to leave this coast until after we have evacuated Chusan.\n\nWe have committed several errors in our colonial system, as illustrated by the evacuation of Java and of Manila; these, however, were commercial and territorial, rather than political, mistakes; but the abandonment of Chusan in December, 1845, will, I have no doubt, cause us much trouble and disaster, and at no distant day another war with China, which it is our duty, as well as our policy, by every just and reasonable means, to avert.\n\nI have, &c.,\n\nR. M. MARTIN.\n\n... illumining the horizon; incessant salvos of artillery from the numerous forts reverberated from hill to hill; and the whole scene had a most dazzling and surprising effect.\n\nKeying, who sat on the deck of the French steamer, between M. Lagréné and his beautiful and accomplished wife, surrounded by a brilliant and numerous suite of French diplomatic and naval officers, preserved, for a long time, a thoughtful silence, and appeared much depressed. When the signing of the documents was concluded, he at length said, \"See! the heavens and the earth rejoice at the compact.\" Keying then relapsed into taciturnity, and remained so for half an hour, as if pondering in his mind the part he had been playing, or the step about to be taken, as one of a very serious nature, and totally different from a mere commercial treaty. Then turning to M. Lagréné, as if in continuation of some mental thought, he said with considerable emphasis, \"The people may be dissatisfied, but the two Governments must do their duty at any hazard or sacrifice.\"\n\nAn idea has been adroitly instilled into the mind of Keying and the Tartar Government, that France is an intellectual power, animated by the purest and noblest ideas; and that England is a trading country, whose chief object is gain—a character that stands very low in the estimation of the Chinese Government and people. M. Lagréné, in addition to a large naval force of some of the finest frigates and steamers in the service of France, had an able, numerous, and brilliant corps diplomatique in his suite, and was most efficiently supported by Admiral Cécille, an officer of high repute, most engaging manners, and who accompanied our fleet to Nankin (as a neutral) in his own frigate. The French mission to China is also accompanied by shrewd, intelligent representatives of the cotton, linen, wool, silk, and other trades. The Chinese mandarins were surprised at the beautiful and choice specimens of glass, tapestry, house-paper, bijouterie, and Parisian manufactures of every description. Artists with the daguerreotype, electrotype, &c., astonished the mandarins; and every effort has been made, with great tact, to induce the Chinese to view France with admiration. On the other hand, Keying, the Chinese plenipotentiary, and Wang, the Governor of Canton, have endeavoured to magnify China in the eyes of the French; and a negotiation was commenced for the introduction of French engineers into the service of the Emperor of China, to work the mines under a contract. It was also proposed to have a French ambassador stationed permanently at Pekin, to which M. Lagréné offered to proceed in 1844, if Mr. Cushing, the American minister, would accompany him.\n\nSir,\n\nEXAMINATION OF POLICY NECESSARY.\n\nNo. VII.—To his Excellency J. F. Davis, Her Majesty's Plenipotentiary.\n\n75 532\n\nH. M. Treasury, Hong Kong,\n\nApril 19, 1845.\n\nANXIOUSLY solicitous for the welfare and perpetuity of the British empire, and accustomed for several years to examine the policy of England with foreign States, I have been induced to prepare a minute on the \"British Position and Prospects in China.\"\n\nThis minute I have now the honour to lay before your Excellency, with my respectful request that you will be pleased to transmit it along with this letter to the Secretary of State.\n\nIn this minute, as well as in my reports on Hong Kong and Chusan, I have ventured to impugn the policy pursued in China by the predecessor of your Excellency. Whatever effect this free comment and exposition of public acts may have on my personal interests is of little moment compared with the evil which, in my opinion, a non-rectification of those acts is capable of inflicting on England.\n\nNeither as a servant of the crown, nor as a private individual, can I surrender my right of judgment on the public conduct of any public man; nor do I think that any personage, however exalted, or however infallible he may be deemed, can claim an exemption from that fair and open criticism which is the privilege and advantage of a free State. I do not think that the high character for manliness and integrity which Sir H. Pottinger is reputed to possess, would make him wish to stifle an examination of his policy, if the object of that examination be, as mine has been, the advantage of the common weal.\n\nThe impartial examination and discussion of a line of public policy, operating at a distance of 15,000 miles from the seat of Government, is essentially necessary to enable Her Majesty's Ministers to form a ...\n\n* These observations were made in consequence of Governor Davis having censured me for venturing to impugn, in my Report on Hong Kong, the policy pursued by Sir Henry Pottinger,—as \"Her Majesty's Government had expressed their high approbation of the several details and representations with which they had been furnished by Sir H. Pottinger, connected with the colony, and some of the expressions in my report might be construed into reflections on that distinguished officer.\" I believe there is not an English merchant in China who dissents from the opinions I have expressed in my reports, and I know there are many in England who now entertain very different ideas respecting our position in China, from those with which they were imbued a year ago.",

The result was soon manifested: England, much against her inclination, was compelled to declare war against the Government of China; the Chinese, whether by sea or by land, were everywhere easily discomfited; the momentary fight was soon converted into an indiscriminate slaughter*; fire and suicide completed the dreadful havoc; the\n\n*This is shown in the following table, where it will be seen that the total number killed of our soldiers (Europeans and sepoys), of our seamen and marines,\n\nPage 77\n\n503\n\nPage 511",

At first they commenced with throwing stones, which endangered our lives, and by some of which we were struck. This attack was aided and encouraged by a number of Chinese, who followed us along the top of the city wall, hurling large stones, which, if they had struck, would have killed those at whom they were aimed. Mr. Jackson was first attacked, by men brandishing swords and daggers; his arms were pinioned, and his gold chain snatched from his neck. The Reverend Mr. Stanton and Mr. Martin perceiving that Mr. Jackson was not following, returned to aid him, and were themselves seized; one of the assailants thrust a dagger at Mr. Martin's breast, two endeavoured to throw him on the ground, and whilst struggling with them, his pockets were rifled. The same course was pursued with Mr. Jackson and Mr. Stanton. The latter lost his watch, the former still retained his, but everything else was taken. The assailants then left us; but the persons on the wall followed us for some time, hurling large stones, and using menacing gestures, and opprobrious language.\n\n\"Proceeding southward beneath the wall to reach the river side, we were again followed and attacked by another party; Mr. Jackson received a violent blow on his chest, and a roof was torn up to furnish large sticks to the assailants. In this attack Mr. Jackson was deprived of his watch; our clothes were torn; and at one time the people were disposed to strip us. No resistance was offered, it was hopeless to have attempted it, not only by reason of the numbers and weapons of the multitude, but also on account of the attack on us from the watch tower and along the walls.\n\n\"The outrage was entirely unprovoked; our own official character, and the presence of a minister of religion, was a guarantee for peaceful conduct; and had his presence not restrained Mr. Jackson and Mr. Martin, bloodshed might probably have ensued. Reaching a more populous part of the suburbs, we rested a moment and then proceeded home; but not unfrequently hearing opprobrious epithets, mingled with cries of \"kill them, kill them.\"\n\n\"From no nation in Europe would British subjects suffer this treatment; there can be no excuse for tolerating a continuance of such conduct towards us in China; and we think there cannot be a doubt that the Chinese Government have it in their power effectually to put a stop, not only to the personal insults which the English daily experience, but also to prohibit effectually the repetition of the injuries we have experienced. By the prohibition to enter the city of Canton, the lower classes of the Chinese are encouraged to regard us as inferiors, and to treat us with marked contumely. No measures, that we are aware of, have ever been taken by the authorities to prevent the constant insults to which the British community are subjected; and which, instead of diminishing by time, or being subdued by acts of kindness, seem to become more frequent and more virulent,\n\n\"Anxiously desirous to maintain peace, and to promote amity, we make this representation, believing that unless the Chinese authorities remedy the evils complained of, the most serious consequences must inevitably and ere long ensue.\n\n\"We have, &c., (Signed) \"R.

The cession of Hong Kong to the British crown, was no gain, in any one point of view, to England; on the contrary, its occupation has caused a great destruction of valuable life, and a considerable waste of treasure; while the retention of the island, even with the most rigid economy, must involve an annual sacrifice, unattended with any beneficial results. We made no arrangement for the revision of the treaty at the end of seven or ten years, when the working of its provisions would have been tested by time and experience; and no stipulations for the protection of those professing the Christian faith. Both these points were conceded to the Americans and French as soon as asked, and we are indebted to foreigners for concessions that ought to have been obtained by ourselves.\n\nHaving briefly reviewed the past, it may now be inquired what is our present position and policy? Do we feel secure of continued peace with China? Do we possess any commanding political position, the retention of which, by a moderate naval and military force, may arrest the direful calamity of another war? Have we any check to exercise over the Chinese, which may compel them to keep peace? developing, by precept or example, any moral control or influence which may surely, though slowly, establish our power, and win the respect and attachment of the Chinese Government and people?\n\nAre we\n\nThese important questions cannot, it is to be feared, be answered in the affirmative. The frequent expression of men of all classes of society is \"another war with China is inevitable; affairs are not yet settled.\"\n\nOn the evacuation of Chusan we shall have no position in China capable of dictating peace; and by the final abandonment of that island in January next, we shall have adopted the most effectual step that could be taken for the encouragement of a bloody, and perhaps disastrous, conflict, of which it is impossible to see the termination, and which it is very probable may engender deep and bitter feelings of national hostility to us, unquenchable by time or circumstances.\n\nAs a Government, we are doing nothing for the inculcation of our language, or for rearing a corps of useful and honest interpreters, European or Chinese; we are not merely negative, but prohibitory, as regards the dissemination of true religion*, although there is no point on which the Chinese Government and people are more indifferent; and on other points we are equally unmindful of our permanent interests.\n\n* The Christian world is indebted to the French mission in China for a revocation of the former imperial edicts against Christianity, and for the promulgation of the following edict, granting toleration and protection to the Christians. A Russian religious and scientific mission has been established at Pekin since 1728, under the sanction of a treaty. The mission is changed every two years. The French have, under the able auspices of M. Lagréné, obtained, I understand, other concessions relative to religion and literature. The \"Journal des Débats,\" in November last, had four columns of a triumphant article on the Christian conduct of France in China, and in eulogy of the now prevalent idea in France, that her mission, or destiny, is the promulgation of Christianity in the distant regions of the globe. M. Lagréné is, I understand, a lay jesuit of high standing. Whatever he be, however he deserves great credit for procuring the following \"edict.\"--\n\n508",

        "content_text": "90\n\nBRITISH POSITION AND PROSPECTS IN CHINA. China, which will compensate for our loss of the United States and of Hindoostan.\n\nChina in a remarkable degree seems destined by Divine Providence to be the next great arena for the development of British civilization*. The vast extent of territory favoured by every variety of climate, and yielding almost every vegetable and mineral product; the great length of sea coast with numerous excellent harbours; the large rivers flowing far and deep into the central land; abundance of coal and iron for steam navigation and transit: canals for traffic in all directions; a population numbering, it is said, one-third of the inhabitants of the earth†—industrious, peaceful, skilled in husbandry and various branches\n\n*\n\nThe third report of the \"Society for diffusing useful knowledge in China,” held at Canton, 20th November, 1837, contains a review of the existing literature of the Chinese, and an enumeration of the \"catalogue of works contained in the imperial library at Pekin.\" It concludes with these remarks :-\n\nA\n\n\"From this cursory review which we have taken of Chinese literature, we are enabled to perceive what is the range of existing knowledge in this country. philosophy, which, leaving alone all speculations concerning the origin and future state of man, confines itself wholly to the relations between man and man in this life, occupies one fourth portion. A history and a geography, almost exclusively national, occupy another fourth portion; while the existence of other nations, and the practical lessons to be learned from the rest of mankind, are almost wholly forgotten. With the exception of agriculture and weaving, the useful arts of life find hardly any place in Chinese literature. Mechanic and chemical sciences are scarcely thought of. Medicine we know to consist, for the most part, of mere quackery. Astronomical and mathematical sciences are chiefly derived from Europeans, and the knowledge of them is confined to a very few persons; while the vagaries of astrology and divination find a place not only in their literature, but also in the arrangements of government. Natural history is regarded only as an adjunct to medical science, if the practice of medicine among the Chinese can be dignified with the name of science. Seeing that so many are the defects of Chinese literature, it becomes our imperative duty to exert our utmost energies to supply their lack of knowledge.\"\n\nAs regards their philosophy, the committee observe-\n\n\"Several of the classical works, which form the foundation of this first department of Chinese literature, have already, by means of translations, been placed within the reach of the European public. From these we are enabled to perceive to how low an elevation in philosophy the most esteemed sages of China have attained.\"\n\nIn the geography of even their own country they are almost as deficient as they are of that of foreign countries. A map of the province of Fokien, which I saw at the viceroy's residence at Foochoo, would have disgraced the New Zealanders, or any other barbarous nation. It had no bearings—no divisional lines—no proportions; and that part which we know, the Min river, was entirely incorrect. Yet this map was kept a secret; and our Consul at Foochoo could only procure a copy, by paying a Chinese largely for copying it by stealth. In astronomy, music, surgery, medicine, chemistry, military and naval science, fine arts, &c., they are utterly deficient.\n\n† EXTENT\n\nGeographical Position.\nProvinces.\nProvincial Capital.\nArea in square Miles.\nLat.

        "content_text": "114\n\nCORRESPONDENCE\n\nSoon after my arrival in this island, I observed that there had been a large and unnecessary expenditure of the public money here, which had been greatly facilitated by the power of arresting portions of the Chinese indemnity money, in its transit to the home exchequer.\n\nPerceiving that the disbursement was daily augmenting, I felt it to be my duty, even at the hazard of losing, what I much covet, the confidence and support of your Lordship, to state openly my opinions to my superiors, and to substantiate them by facts, relative to the true nature and value of Hong Kong, and to its necessary concomitant—the British position and prospects in China.\n\nThe reports, minutes, and papers, written in support of these opinions were transmitted either to your Lordship, to the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, or to the Lords of the Treasury, and as I understood they were producing some effect at home, by suggesting various inquiries, and causing a check to be put upon the expenditure here, I resolved, although my health and constitution have been much impaired by this climate, to await the result of those inquiries, and the correction of errors which time and circumstances generally induce.\n\nHaving, however, recently ascertained that Governor Davis is proposing for your Lordship's sanction a further expenditure of half a million dollars for civil works here†, irrespective of the, I think, entirely unnecessary extent of outlay incurred, and projected in the military and ordnance departments; believing that Her Majesty's Government must be under great misapprehension relative to Hong Kong, and to our affairs and position in China; and understanding that it is intended to evacuate Chusan in February or March next, without any attempt at negotiation for the retention of that most valuable and important island (worthy of being an Anglo-Chinese colony), I applied to Governor Davis for six months' leave of absence, on public grounds, in order that I might bring the whole subject under a complete and unbiased investigation, and thus, if possible, timely correct what are deemed primary errors of national importance.\n\nIn order to place the question on high grounds, I offered to give up all my salary; to incur my own expenses to England; to continue my bonds of pecuniary security to the Crown; and to forfeit my commission in Her Majesty's service, should my application for leave of absence be disapproved of at home.\n\nThe Governor refused the leave sought, on the plea that I was not dying and requiring change of climate; a decision, as shown in the accompanying correspondence, contrary to the obvious meaning of the Governor's instructions (chap. iv. p. 25), and which, if thus interpreted,\n\n• Governor Davis declared that he was \"determined to spend as much as possible of the Chinese indemnity money, in its transit to England; because, after that supply ceased, the grants voted by Parliament would be jejune indeed.” The necessity of the expenditure was a subordinate consideration. The leading idea of many governors is to create a favourable impression of having made great progress in public works, roads, &c. This used to be frequently done by grants from the home exchequer, and, as in the case of Hong Kong, totally unrequired by local circumstances.\n\n+ I only ascertained this on my return from visiting the northern Consulates in June, 1845, and immediately took steps to try and check this utter waste of the public money.\n\nON RESIGNATION.\n\n514\n\n115\n\nwould make every colonial servant of the crown an exile for life, or subject to the caprice, favouritism, or vindictiveness of any colonial governor.\n\nThe yet unsettled state of the British affairs in China; the very short time intervening for their imperatively-required better arrangement, previous to the evacuation of Chusan, when our expenditure of every description ought to undergo the most careful revision and retrenchment; the desire to prevent the contemplated expenditure of half a million dollars for civil works, and of other unnecessary projected outlays; a conscientious belief that, as a sworn servant of the Crown, I am bound to lay all the information I have collected here, before Her Majesty's Ministers, and that I can only effectually do so, without further loss of time, in person; have compelled me to adopt the only alternative in my power, namely, to place in the hands of Governor Davis my resignation as Her Majesty's Treasurer for the Colonial, Consular, and Diplomatic services in China, in order that I may at once bring the whole matter under the full and fair consideration of your Lordship, and be on the spot in case of necessity for reference.\n\nI will not advert to myself, personally, to any treatment which I have experienced, or to any misinterpretation of my motives and conduct; these are points of comparatively little moment. But I do confidently hope that the newness and vast importance of our position in China; the still partial blending of colonial, diplomatic, and commercial affairs here; the possible imperfections of individual judgment, arising from natural causes and various interests; and the advantages consequently derivable to the State, from a minute examination and exposition of our affairs in the most distant, most complex, yet least understood settlement and relations of the British Crown, may induce your Lordship to grant, under the peculiar circumstances of the case, and on public grounds, a court of inquiry, previous to the acceptance by my Sovereign of the responsible commission with which Her Majesty was graciously pleased to invest me.\n\nSir,\n\nI have, &c.,\n\nInclosure 3 in No. XV.\n\nR.

Treasury, Hong Kong, June 18, 1845.\n\nIn my recent Minute on the British Position and Prospects in China,\" I ventured to indicate, according to the best of my judgment, the mistakes committed during our past negotiations with the Chinese authorities, to demonstrate the apparent defects of our present policy, and to point out in some respects the course which it seems advisable to pursue previous to the evacuation of Chusan in February next.\n\nHaving devoted twenty years to an investigation of our colonial and commercial relations, I believe that my opinions thereon receive some attention at home: and that when Her Majesty's Government,\n\nI 2",

That I draw no salary for these six months. 2nd. That I defray my own expenses to England.\n\n3rd. That if Her Majesty's Government decide there were no justifiable grounds for this application, that I resign my present office.\n\nBy granting my request, no detriment whatever can accrue to the public service. The treasury accounts are closed up, the books daily balanced, and all the required returns will be made on the 30th June.\n\nI believe the payments on account of public works will be comparatively small for the next six months (or until final orders from home); and I am certain that, with ordinary care, no delay or embarrassment can arise in the colonial treasury.\n\nConfiding in the importance of the information which I believe it to be in my power to convey, and in the probability of its being duly appreciated by Her Majesty's Ministers, I ask permission to forego all my salary, to incur considerable expense, to destroy, perhaps, my remaining health by travelling during this hot and adverse season; further, I propose to risk my commission in Her Majesty's service, in order that I may have an opportunity of communicating personally to the authorities at home the result of my inquiries in this country.\n\nI have, &c.,\n\nSir,\n\nInclosure 4 in No. XV.\n\nR. M. MARTIN.\n\nTo the Hon. F. W. A. Bruce, Colonial Secretary.\n\nH. M. Treasury, Hong Kong, June 24, 1845.\n\nI HAVE the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 19th instant, conveying to me the refusal of his Excellency the Governor to grant my application for six months' leave of absence, on the following grounds:——\n\n1st. That the regulations by which the Governor is bound as to leave of absence are clear and peremptory, confining such leave to cases of serious indisposition, requiring change of climate.\n\n2nd. That his Excellency does not feel justified in incurring an act of responsibility by the substitution of another person in my place.\n\n3rd. That by granting the leave sought, his Excellency would materially depart from the usages of the service.\n\nIn reply, I beg to observe that,——\n\n1st. The words of the regulations (ch. iv. p. 25) are, \"Leave of absence should be confined as much as possible to cases of serious indisposition, requiring change of climate.\" The regulations then proceed to state when leave should be granted on private affairs. A fortiori, leave may be granted on public affairs.\n\n2nd. By granting the leave sought, no responsibility whatever would be incurred by his Excellency, as my sureties would stand good during my absence, as well as those of my locum tenens.\n\n3rd. By the usages of the service, colonial officers frequently obtain leave of absence to proceed to England irrespective of sickness.\n\nBut, even were the regulations clear and peremptory against leave of absence being granted, except in cases of imminently fatal illness, I venture to think that the novel and peculiar position of Great Britain in China, the nature and prospects of this island as a new settlement, and the many years which I have devoted to the study and personal examination of other colonies, and to the investigation of the commercial and financial relations of England, might have rendered my application an exception to the general rule, more particularly as my temporary absence would be no detriment to the public service, and as I offered to take upon myself all the responsibility of my proceedings.\n\nI put aside entirely the question of my health, although it has been materially shaken by my residence and mental labours here; life or death is of little moment, compared with the great interests which England has at stake in China. These interests are too vast and pressing to be affected by individual considerations, or by the ordinary usages and proceedings of the service which are applicable to every-day occurrences.\n\nWhether I am right or wrong, I have endeavoured to demonstrate in my reports and minutes that our affairs in China require immediate and special reconsideration and revision; that time and experience have made manifest several mistakes, which, if not rectified previous to the evacuation of Chusan in March or February next, will be a subject of deep regret and serious injury; and that our policy and proceedings are not productive of the extended beneficial results which the British nation has a right to expect in China, and not commensurate with the large expenditure incurred on this coast.\n\nFeeling strongly on these points, as of great national importance; believing that, however humble my situation in Her Majesty's service, it is my bounden duty to my Sovereign to bring them under the early serious consideration of Her Majesty's Ministers; and deeming that my...\n\n117\n\nON RESIGNATION,",

Treasury, Hong Kong,\n\nJuly 8, 1845.\n\nSir,\n\nTHE decision of his Excellency the Governor on my letters of 19th and 24th ultimo*, refusing me leave of absence for six months on public business, and with a view to what I deem the public good, compels me, most reluctantly, to adopt the only alternative of requesting his Excellency to receive my resignation as Her Majesty's Treasurer for the colonial and diplomatic services in China, until I can bring the subject, through the Secretary of State for the Colonies, under the consideration of my Sovereign, who was graciously pleased to appoint me to the important office and trust which I have now the honour to place in the hands of his Excellency.\n\nMy quarterly accounts are made up to the 30th June, 1845, declared before a magistrate, and passed by the auditor.\n\nI beg that a board may be appointed to receive from me the monies under my charge, and that his Excellency will state to whom I am to transfer the accounts and books of my department, and the vouchers for payment made by me since 30th day of June last.\n\nIn order that I may be enabled to pass my accounts in England, and receive for myself, and for my sureties, the exchequer quietus, I have the honour to request that a copy of my day cash book be furnished me from this office.\n\nI have, &c.,\n\nR. M. MARTIN.\n\n* The reply to my letter of this date was a mere reference to the previous decision of the Governor, who, I was informed, would only permit me to proceed to England by my putting the word \"resignation\" into my letter. I tried in vain to avoid this; but each draft letter was rejected by the Governor, to whom it was submitted by Mr. Shelley, then acting colonial secretary. Mr. Shelley told me that the Governor insisted on my resignation, and that he would appoint his relative, Mr. Mercer, to my situation.\n\n119\n\nNo. XVI. To the Right Honourable Baron Stanley, Her Majesty's Secretary of State for the Colonies.\n\nMy Lord,\n\nBombay, September 3, 1845. DESIROUS of placing immediately before your Lordship, the accompanying paper of \"Points for the consideration of Her Majesty's Government on the British Position in China,” previous to the evacuation of Chusan,--and of sustaining those points, as they can only be done verbally, I closed my accounts for the half-year ending 30th June last at Hong Kong, and embarked in the fastest sailing vessel in China for Bombay, hoping to reach the mail steamer departing thence for Suez on 27th August.\n\nIn this I am disappointed, after considerable labour and expense, the mail steamer having left this four days before my arrival here.\n\nI deem the obtainment of Chusan of so great national importance, on political, commercial, financial, and religious grounds, and the rectification of our position in China (at Canton especially), of such moment previous to February next, that I am resolved to proceed through Persia, or by any route which will enable me to reach England before final orders have been issued by Her Majesty's Government for the evacuation of Chusan.\n\n\"Minute on\n\nI therefore beg to transmit these \"Points,” and the appendices, to your Lordship by post, lest any accident befall me; and I venture to express a hope that the facts I have adduced therein, as well as my previous reports on Hong Kong, on Chusan, and the British Position and Prospects in China,\" may be found sufficient to authorize Her Majesty's Government to hold Chusan, if only for a time, and to prevent, if possible, the French occupying that island, which intention I heard confirmed at Java on the 6th August last, the French Ambassador having just then quitted Batavia for China. Perceiving from the public journals, that Sir R. Peel is much pressed for a reduction or alteration in the tea duties, I beg to transmit herewith a section of a “Commercial Report on China\" which I am preparing for your Lordship. The section (No. VI.) relates to the \"Rise and progress of the tea trade.\" There are some tables which cannot be completed until I reach England, but I trust the section will be found of use to Her Majesty's Ministers.*\n\nThis elaborate section is now at the Board of Trade.\n\nMarch, 1846.\n\n14",

I have only to entreat that your Lordship will suspend decision on the case until I reach England. The inclosed \"Memorandum\" of some of my services in China, although I was suffering during a great part of my residence there from climactic disease, will I trust be some proof that I laboured diligently to do my duty; and I can conscientiously aver that an anxious solicitude to be of some use to my country, and to deserve the support of your Lordship, has been the paramount and sustaining feeling of my mind.\n\nI have, &c.,\n\nR.

A negotiation with the Chinese Government for the retention of Chusan, on the grounds stated in my \"Minute on the British Position and Prospects in China,\" dated April, 1845, and in my paper of \"Points submitted for the consideration of Her Majesty's Government,\" addressed to Lord Stanley, 3rd September, 1845.\n\n2nd.

An amelioration of the humiliating and comfortless condition of the British merchants at Canton.\n\n* The islands in the harbour and those which lie around, commanding the island of Hong Kong, ought not to be left as neutral territory. Captain Haines, our able Political Resident at Aden, judiciously stipulated that the whole harbour of Aden, and a slip of land five miles deep along the harbour, should be ceded with Aden to England, together with all the islands in the harbour: and that the waters around, within reasonable soundings, should belong to the Aden territory. was proper diplomacy.\n\nThis\n\nOF GOVERNMENT.\n\n121\n\n5th.

The establishment of a Consular port up the Yang-tze-kiang river at Chin-kang-foo, or at Nankin.\n\n8th. The abolition of the English prohibition of British ships or subjects going beyond the 32nd degree of north latitude in China.\n\n9th. The formation, if possible, of a Consular port at the Peiho river.\n\nAll these points I am prepared to prove are of the utmost value to the British interests in China, and may be obtained by negotiation with the Chinese Government without any violation of the treaty of Nankin.\n\nR. M. MARTIN.\n\n[Inclosure in letter to Lord Stanley of 3rd September, 1845.]\n\nPOINTS SUBMITTED FOR THE CONSIDERATION OF HER MAJESTY'S GOVERNMENT ON THE BRITISH POSITION IN CHINA.\n\n1st. An immediate negotiation with the Chinese Government for the permanent occupation or continued retention of Chusan, and for the improvement of our position at Canton, &c., on the grounds stated in the accompanying paper marked A. (See paper of \"Grounds\" A.) 2nd. A reduction of the civil and military expenditure of Hong Kong, and a simplification of its Government. (See paper marked B Government establishments of Hong Kong, &c.)\n\n3rd. A revision and retrenchment of the Consular and Superintendency of Trade departments in China. (See accompanying scale.)\n\nThe \"Report on Chusan\" explains the grounds for the retention of that island; namely:\n\n1. As the most efficient means for preserving peace with China, by reason of its central and commanding position near the Yang-tze-kiang river, the great artery of the empire.\n\n2. As pre-eminently adapted for a commercial emporium by its contiguity to the richest and most populous districts in China, and by its proximity to Japan, Corea, Mantchouria, Formosa, the Loochoo islands, &c.\n\n3. As a colony, whence the Christian civilization of England may by precept and example be extended throughout China; its salubrity, fertility, peaceable industrious population, various valuable productions, extent, and fine harbours, rendering Chusan peculiarly eligible for a British possession.\n\nNone of the considerations which render Chusan so eligible for an English colony apply to Hong Kong, as shown in the report thereon, and in the \"Minute on the British Position and Prospects in China.\" Hong Kong does not command anything, not even the Canton river;\n\nit can never be a commercial emporium by reason of its un-\n\n517",

M. MARTIN.\n\nPAPER A, IN POINTS SUBMITTED FOR CONSIDERATION, &c.\n\nGrounds and Reasons for Negotiation with the Chinese Government respecting Chusan.\n\n1st. The spirit and meaning of the Treaty of Nankin, in accordance with the proclamation issued by Sir H. Pottinger, in the Chinese language, when entering the Yang-tze-kiang river, June, 1842, was, that the English were to have an island adapted for a residence, suitable for a commercial emporium, and as a security against future war.\n\nIn no but one of these three points of view can Hong Kong be considered; they all apply to Chusan in a pre-eminent degree. It is not to be supposed that the Emperor of China, in ceding Hong Kong, knew that he was giving us a mere rock; incapable of producing sufficient food for the sustenance of its inhabitants for one day; almost uninhabitable for men a brief period, by reason of its insalubrious climate; totally inadapted for commerce; and by its inutility and expensiveness, affording an excitement to, rather than a guarantee against, another war.\n\n2nd. The great distance of Hong Kong from the seat of the Imperial Government, and from our increasing trade and interests in the central regions of China, require our having a minister resident at Pekin, with an attendant ship of war in the Peiho, unless we had Chusan for our residence.\n\n3rd. By the possession of Chusan fewer of our people would require to settle and establish themselves on the mainland, and abundant scope being thus afforded for British energy, enterprise and industry, there would be no possibility of continental aggressions or encroachments, which is likely to be the case when the English find themselves cooped up in a small barren, unhealthy rock, without trade, and devoid of any of the advantages which render life useful or agreeable.\n\n4th. The English are entitled to residence in and free ingress and egress to and from the city of Canton. This has been hitherto denied: neither are they enabled to dwell in cool, healthy places in the surrounding country, or to take exercise; but they are confined to a few feet of ground in the suburbs, amongst the lowest class of the Chinese, and subject to daily insult and annoyance, All this is contrary to treaty.\n\nWe will waive the right of entry and residence in the city of Canton, in consideration of obtaining Chusan for our residence.\n\n5th. The Imperial Government desire to restrict the residence of Europeans to as few places as possible on the mainland. In consideration of obtaining Chusan, the English might consent to retire from Ningpo, Foochoo, and (if necessary to the obtainment of our object) Amoy.\n\nThere are several other points which can only be discussed verbally, but it is confidently felt that if the above five points were properly explained and urged, the Imperial Government would cede Chusan to England.\n\nR.

SUPREME COURT.\n\nAverage expense of salaries, contingencies, special disbursements, amounting to £8,500 or £10,000.\n\nThis establishment is upon a scale quite unsuited to a position like Hong Kong. Governor Davis said he expected the fees and fines would defray the charges of the department; they will not exceed £500 or £600 a-year.\n\nWith a few exceptions the civil and criminal business of the court has consisted of petty cases, which would be decided by the smallest bench of magistrates, or in many instances by a single police magistrate in England.\n\nThe formation of a bench of unpaid magistrates to act in ordinary criminal matters with the chief magistrate for chairman, and as a court of request for sums under £100 with the Colonial Secretary (a barrister) as chairman, would be an ample minor judicature for Hong Kong.\n\nThe Recorder at Singapore might have Hong Kong placed within his jurisdiction, and circuit made quarterly or half-yearly, as necessity arose, in the large monthly mail steam-packets.\n\nThe chief population at Singapore is Chinese.\n\nOur merchants in Canton have long been in the habit of settling their differences by arbitration.\n\n7. POLICE FORCE.\n\nPolice Superintendent, and Chief Magistrate, £9,000 to £10,000 a-year.\n\nA bench of unpaid magistrates, aided by the chief magistrate and Colonial Secretary would of course aid in supervising the police. The expense and management of this force ought to be transferred entirely to the inhabitants assessed to a police rate.\n\nIt is supposed there are 1,000,000 dollars invested in buildings liable to assessment. Many of these were constructed in the hope that Hong Kong would become a commercial emporium; and now that these ideas are proved to have been visionary, the value of this sunken property has been and will be considerably deteriorated; indeed it is rumoured that some houses will be left uninhabited.\n\nEstimating the assessable property so high as 800,000 dollars at 5 per cent., this would yield about £8,000 a-year, for which a large police may be maintained. Time, however, can alone determine whether any police will prevent burglary, robbery, and piracy in Hong Kong. Judging from past experience the countless ladrones of China having numerous and almost untraceable and inaccessible haunts on the surrounding islands and the main land, will ever render property insecure in Hong Kong; and now that incendiaries are at work, and they are organising in bands with fire-arms, it is very probable life itself will be held in constant jeopardy and alarm.\n\n8. HARBOUR-MASTER, AND MARINE MAGISTRATE DEPARTMENT. Average expense, about £2,000 a-year.\n\nSo long as there was a large fleet, with transports and other vessels rendezvous in Hong Kong during the war, the duties of this department were onerous and well performed. But now, when very few ships resort to Hong Kong, and the majority merely \"look in for orders,\" the maintenance of an establishment on this scale is unnecessary.\n\nThe duties of marine magistrate ought, as in other colonies, to be performed by the usual police and magisterial authority. The present harbour-master and marine magistrate has worked hard for nearly four years, and would make a useful officer at the Cape of Good Hope or Australia. His assistant is well acquainted with Hong Kong, Canton, and the neighbourhood, and if made harbour-master, with an efficient boat's crew, the charges might be reduced one-third their present amount.\n\n9. REGISTRAR GENERAL.\n\nEstablishment about £1,500 per annum. This department is perfectly unnecessary. The registration of the Chinese inhabitants is a measure of police, and by that department it ought to be performed. The yearly census of the fixed inhabitants may be made in one week by the police superintendent; registration has not checked in the slightest degree, the resort of all descriptions of lawless vagabonds, thieves, and pirates, from the contiguous main land; neither has it tended to aid in the discovery of criminals or of stolen property, notwithstanding the large expenditure for police.\n\nNo fee is levied on registration. This £1,500 a-year department ought not to have been created*.\n\n10. COLONIAL SURGEON.\n\nSalary £600, Contingencies, ordinary and extraordinary £200, Averaging per annum £800.\n\nThe diminution of the Government establishments would require the abolition of this office.\n\nThe present and late colonial surgeons at Hong Kong, dearly earned their salaries, visiting the numerous sick in a burning sun, and at all hours.\n\nThe former surgeon resigned from ill health, being unable to sustain the requisite labour in such a climate; the present excellent man is also much deteriorated in health, and deserves removal to some healthy colony.\n\n11. COLONIAL CHAPLAIN.\n\nSalary £700, Contingencies £50, Averaging per annum £750.\n\n* Within the last month this very department has been confirmed by the Secretary for the Colonies, and gazetted; although the above remarks have been in the Colonial Office for several months.-R.

Alas! from the very commencement of the Government at Hong Kong, religion in principle or in practice, in even its mere outward ordinary observances, has scarcely been a matter of subordinate or secondary consideration.\n\nThe English missionary, the American Baptist, the Italian Jesuit, the Indian Moslem, the deistical Chinese, have each a substantial and characteristic stone structure, for the celebration of the religion they profess; but the Divine service of the Church of England is still celebrated in a mat shed, the chaplain is grudgingly paid a stipend of which a considerable portion is expended by him in charity and education, a small allowance for house-rent has been recently stopped, (it was even suggested that he should provide and pay for a clerk,) candles were denied for evening service, and, had it been possible, the pittance accorded for performing the rites of Christianity, would have been diminished or cancelled altogether.\n\nA sacred responsibility devolves on England in respect to her colonies: they will be either the instruments of her prosperity and pre-eminence, or of her ruin and downfall.\n\nIt is fearful to see how soon the best moral principles are obliterated in a colony where the Governors and those in high authority and position in society pay little or no regard to religion, and how quickly a virtuous and rightly educated youth becomes dead to every Christian attribute. Inordinate pursuit of gain, isolation from domestic associations, and the demoralizing habits of what is termed \"colonial life,\" sap, corrupt, and finally destroy many a gifted and guiltless mind.\n\nBetter for England to be deprived of every colony, and contracted to her own insular limits, than to neglect in the outposts of her empire those principles, and that Christian conduct to which alone, under the special favour of Divine Providence, she owes her peace and happiness at home, her power and prosperity abroad, and her dominion throughout the world.\n\nR.

An attempt to form a commercial communication with Japan, containing about thirty million civilized inhabitants, whose Government, being aware of our successes in China, are now better disposed to enter into friendly negotiations with us.\n\nBefore this feeling has passed away, we ought to avail ourselves of its existence.\n\n[I was assured at Java, in August last, that the Japanese Government were in expectation of a visit from the English, and that the Government at Jeddo would now receive an amicable commercial mission.]\n\n2nd. The arrangement of commercial treaties with Siam, Cochin China, and the adjacent rich countries, containing an estimated population of fifty million, hitherto neglected. These countries abound in gold and silver, and are rich in valuable mercantile products. Their Governments have also heard of our successes in China, and would be disposed, under their present feelings, to admit us on fair commercial terms to their ports, which the Americans and French are now visiting.\n\n3rd. The establishment of a Trading station (not an expensive colony) on the peninsula of Corea, or on Quelparts island, at the southern extremity of the peninsula of Corea. Corea belongs neither to China nor to Japan; it has a fine climate, good agriculture, timber, fruits, &c.; it has a population of about twenty millions, and we ought to establish a commercial intercourse with them. A Trading post in this neighbourhood would soon produce commerce with all the large surrounding regions, including Mantchouria, Northern China, the Kurile islands, Japan, &c., and be an excellent station for our whaling-ships, or for intercourse with the western coast of America.\n\nR. M. MARTIN.\n\nLONDON: HARRISON AND CO., PRINTERS, ST. MARTIN'S LANE,\n\nME AND PROSPECTS IN CHINA.\n\n97\n\nIt is impossible to survey this vast territory, teeming with millions of industrious, skilful, intelligent, but still semi-civilized people, without feeling a deep interest in their advancement, and an anxious desire that England should fulfil the important duties so mysteriously assigned for her performance.\n\nThe opinions stated in this Minute have been expressed in different parts of China by men of far-seeing minds, engaged in various pursuits.\n\nThere never has been a question presented to my understanding on which I have felt a stronger conviction than that the evacuation of Chusan in February next, without any change in our present negative policy, will be the prelude to great misfortune, which we shall in vain endeavour to retrieve.\n\nI have not spoken to one disinterested person in China--no matter his rank, grade or profession--on the contemplated evacuation of Chusan, who has not expressed alarm or regret at such a measure, and none more so than the Americans, whose Consul at Canton, Mr. Forbes stated to me that the American Government were very apprehensive of the French getting possession of Chusan, as it would be a prelude to political intrigue and disturbance; that he, Mr. Forbes, understood the French intended to settle on Chusan soon after we gave up the island; that he was of opinion there were some secret negotiations going on between his Excellency M. Lagréné (who ranks high as a Jesuit) and Keying, who had offered the French the valuable and commanding island of Chuenpee, near the entrance of the Bogue, thus completely commanding the Canton river, but which M. Lagréné rejected, in the expectation of getting Chusan; M. Lagréné, indeed, remarked to me in November last, that Chusan was the only island on the coast worthy the acceptance of the French Government, and that the English would have no right to complain of the French occupying Chusan, as they might have retained that island, but that they preferred Hong Kong for a British colony.\n\nDaily experience has more and more confirmed the opinions and strengthened by corroboration the facts contained in my Report on Hong Kong.\n\nIt is still totally devoid of European or native commerce (excepting some smuggling trade in salt and alum). The harbour is almost deserted by shipping, there being only a few opium vessels in the bay; and the merchants who have built large houses are regretting their",

The establishment ought to be reduced to the above-mentioned extent, and the existing civil officers be removed to equivalent situations in other colonies.\n\nBy the early adoption of the proposed minor establishments, and leaving Hong Kong as free as possible from legislative ordinances (which frighten the Chinese, and render the Europeans discontented), the British Government will give this island some chance of rising above its present depression, and thus ascertain whether, in the course of some years, it may have any trade. I have gathered the opinions of many of the leading merchants connected with the island, and they are unanimous in recommending the reduction of the Government establishments, and the abstinence from excessive, superfluous, and constant legislation for a small, intrinsically poor, and hard-struggling infant colony.\n\n----2\n\nIn suggesting this reduction I beg to observe, that the views I am now expressing are in unison with the opinions expressed to his Excellency the Governor of this colony, in my Report on Hong Kong,- report which has never yet been refuted or proved incorrect, and in which I have endeavoured honestly and faithfully to fulfil my duty as a servant of the crown, irrespective of my personal interests.\n\nSir,\n\nI have, &c.,\n\nR.

Treasury, Hong Kong,\n\nApril 25, 1845.\n\nAt the risk of being deemed importunate or pertinacious in my views, I venture to entreat your perusal of a \"Minute on the British Position and Prospects in China,\" which I recently laid before Governor Davis, and which has been transmitted, along with my accompanying letter, by Mr. Davis, to the Earl of Aberdeen. In fulfilment of what I deemed my duty, I have transmitted a copy of this Minute to the Lords of the Treasury, with an explanatory letter. Although much debilitated by the noxious climate of this island, I could not remain passive on perceiving the great mistakes we have committed in our Anglo-Chinese policy, and the more so because some of those mistakes may be remedied before we propose evacuating Chusan in January next.\n\nAND PROSPECTS IN CHINA.\n\n101\n\n525\n\nThere is not now, I believe, in China one disinterested individual who does not most fully acknowledge the great value of that beautiful, healthy, and highly-important island.\n\nThe American Consul and merchants in China are very desirous of our occupation of Chusan; for if we do not retain the island they assert that it will be taken possession of by the French, or be ceded to them privately by the Chinese Government, and that it will become a focus for political intrigue and machinations very detrimental to peace and to commercial pursuits. These opinions are also entertained by the British community.\n\nI do not hear a second opinion in China on the imperative necessity of our retaining Chusan.\n\nThe island is of no intrinsic value to the Chinese Government, neither as regards its extent, population, or productions, especially when compared with the vast empire to which it is appended; and in the hands of an unwarlike nation and Government like the Chinese, as a post of military defence, it is perfectly useless to them. To us, one of its chief points of value would be the complete power of permanently preserving peace on the most economical scale of expenditure of life or of treasure, and in the most effective manner, as shown in my Report on Chusan.\n\nOne of the modes by which the Chinese Government may be induced to offer us the island is, by requiring the permanent establishment of a British Minister at Pekin. This, in reality, is indispensable if we do not occupy Chusan; and I am assured that the Chinese Government would far prefer our retaining Chusan to conceding the point above mentioned, and which, by the law of nations, we have a right to demand and to obtain.\n\nTrained in the political school of that truly great statesman, the late Marquis Wellesley, I was ever taught by my lamented and revered friend to attend to the future as well as to the present; and in all my thoughts and actions, to consider the permanent, although distant, as well as the immediate consequences.",

Treasury, Hong Kong, April 3, 1845.\n\nI HAVE the honour to transmit herewith, for the information of the Lords Commissioners of Her Majesty's Treasury, my account current as Treasurer of this colony, from the 8th May (the period of my arrival here) to 31st December, 1844; and also a copy of my quarterly account for the quarter terminating the year, as passed by the Auditor. I have as yet been unable to obtain the accounts of the Consulates for the past three quarters, but hope soon to obtain them. Scarcely any final vouchers have yet been rendered to me for £20,1867. 14s. 11d., the amount which I have transmitted to the different Consulates in China from the 8th May to the 31st December, 1844.\n\nI have also the honour to transmit two statements which I prepared for his Excellency the Governor, showing the total revenue and total disbursements of the colony, from the 1st January to the 31st December, 1844. The quarterly accounts current have been transmitted to the Auditor of the colony.\n\nAs there has been considerable and important deviations from the instructions of the Lords Commissioners of Her Majesty's Treasury, relative to the mode of making payments, and as the accounts of sums paid by Mr. Stewart, late treasurer, and by Mr. Commissary-General Coffin, have been in some measure confounded with my accounts, thereby causing considerable delay and some confusion, I have the honour to solicit that the Lords Commissioners of Her Majesty's Treasury will be pleased to call for copies of all correspondence which has passed between me and his Excellency Mr. Davis, the Colonial Secretary, and the Auditor, on the subjects above referred to. This correspondence is voluminous, and I have no clerks to make copies; I, however, transmit copies of several letters which will sufficiently indicate the necessity of the Government here complying with the required forms.\n\n103\n\nWITH THE TREASURY.\n\nIn my letter of the 6th January, 1845, to the Colonial Secretary, I urged a compliance with the instructions of the Lords of the Treasury, and begged that the Governor would reconsider his orders, in the following words: \"I venture to solicit his Excellency's reconsideration of the directions conveyed in your letter of this date before they be carried into effect. We are now at the commencement of a new year, and it is extremely desirable that the forms of accounts and the manner in which disbursements are to be made and vouched be in strict conformity with the instructions furnished by the Lords Commissioners of Her Majesty's Treasury. These instructions are simple, clear, and of easy execution; a deviation from them causes, as has been already experienced, a very large amount of unnecessary labour, a delay in preparing the periodical returns, a want of perfect clearness, and an increased pecuniary responsibility on my part, which I do not feel justified in incurring.\n\n66\n\nBy the adoption of the instructions conveyed in your letter of this date, I shall be justly chargeable with violating the instructions of the Lords of the Treasury, and which in my opinion may, without difficulty or disadvantage to the public service, be, from the commencement of the present year, carried into effect.\n\nBy making payments three and four times during the quarter, instead of once to the heads of departments, double the present establishment of clerks will be required in the treasury; a complication of accounts will necessarily ensue, unless my account current was rendered monthly instead of quarterly, and I should incur an increased responsibility and risk, by reason of the augmented number and preservation of vouchers, which I do not feel justified in subjecting my securities to, (particularly in this unhealthy and sickly climate,) unless the Governor be pleased to release me from the obligation which the securities entered into with the Queen impose.\"\n\nI earnestly entreat the attention of their Lordships to this correspondence; I feel confident they will not subject me to blame, either for the delay which has occurred in transmitting the quarterly accounts, or for any deviation which may have taken place in the prescribed forms.\n\nI submitted the case to Commissary-General Coffin, and to Deputy Commissary-General Miller, and both these gentlemen said it was\n\n526",

However, by hiring clerks myself, and refusing at last to pay any more money without proper vouchers, I succeeded in compelling some attention to forms.\n\nMy offer to submit the subject to Commissary-General Coffin and Deputy Commissary-General Miller, was rejected. Both these gentlemen said they did not see how accounts could be rendered from the manner in which money was drawn. My quarterly accounts were, considering their nature, completed as early as those of any other department in China. Mr. Miller who has examined them, thinks they are \"done in a masterly manner,\" although for a long time I had but one working clerk—a mere copyist and an Anglo-Indian; and at present my three clerks—head, second, and third—are all ill and absent, yet I am ready to produce all my books, and to show them made up and balanced, daily, at 3 o'clock. I have announced this to the Governor, the Colonial Secretary, and to the Auditor, to prevent continued misrepresentations.\n\nI have not yet been able to obtain all the Consular accounts* complete for the past year, although a letter which I inclosed to you in a former communication stated, by the command of the Governor, that they were \"all passed and found correct to December, 1844, and deposited in the safe keeping of the auditor.\" I have reason to know, that at the time this letter was written the Consular accounts were not and never had been in the auditor's possession; and that Mr. Elmslie, the officiating secretary to the Chief Superintendent, was the only person who had examined the Consular accounts. This has been communicated to me also by Mr. Elmslie, who states that the auditor had refused to examine or have anything to do with the Consular accounts; and it is confirmed by the auditor refusing even to retain in his office the Consular vouchers duplicates transmitted with my quarterly accounts. To this moment I have not received the Consular accounts for Shanghai and for Ningpo, for the year ending 31st December, 1844, and I am informed, on application to Mr. Elmslie, that he has not received them from Shanghai and Ningpo in a fit state to send them to me. I have not been able to obtain one of the Consular accounts for the present year.\n\nI am still unable to induce the auditor to carry into effect the instructions from the Lords of the Treasury. Some of the departments draw their money whenever they like, on what are called \"imprest warrants;\" others draw it monthly, on salary abstracts and final warrants; and instead of the quarterly payments not being made until after the termination of the quarter, the Governor has ordered me to pay all the departments before even the termination of the quarter for which the salaries and wages are due.\n\nI beg that these facts may be communicated to the Colonial Office and Audit Board, in order that I may not suffer from misrepresentations and official letters containing insinuations and inuendoes, which are kept secret from me.\n\nNothing but an anxious desire to fulfil the duty entrusted to me has enabled me to remain at my post, under the daily suffering of a lingering...\n\n* \"To A.

By the instructions from the Earl of Aberdeen, I apprehend it will be found that the Consular accounts, after being passed by the auditor and returned to you certified as to their correctness, are to be transmitted to me, to be appended as a sub-account to my quarterly account. For the past six months I have repeatedly applied to you for these accounts, and my applications being fruitless, I was compelled to address his Excellency yesterday on the subject. But, independent of these instructions from the Foreign Office, a mere access to the receipts granted by the Consulates for the full amount of their salaries, while they have only drawn bills on me, under your directions, for the net amount of their salaries, would not, as I have long ago acquainted you, enable me to recover the sums due for income-tax and superannuation fund, and give them credit for the amounts in my books.\n\n\"I have the honour, therefore, to request that his Excellency will be pleased to reconsider my letter.\n\nI have, &c.,\n\n\"R.

The Governor is fearful of driving away the few ships that now call here for orders, by the imposition of a tonnage duty of only 6d. per ton. He has therefore declined to enact this regulation, which is a complete answer to his extraordinary statement that “Hong Kong would supersede Canton!”\n\nI inclose a return showing the whole of the monies I have collected since I have arrived, namely, for one year; to which I have appended explanatory details, as laid before the Governor on the 16th instant. A large part of these monies consists of arrears due for preceding years. My payments for the colony alone in its civil departments have been about 72,000l. I inclose an estimate laid before the Governor for the ensuing year.\n\nI see no prospect of collecting more than 10,000l. or 12,000l. during the ensuing year, from the existing or from any future sources of taxation. The absence of trade; the despondency of those who have built houses here; the depreciation of house property, which will necessarily ensue on the completion of the barracks, whereby a large military house-rent will be avoided; the non-existence of further available building land, even if there were purchasers; the throwing up, and even forfeiture of ten per cent. paid on many lots of land, rather than build and pay an annual rental; these, and other circumstances, forbid the just and reasonable hope of realizing the amount of revenue which the Governor expects, viz., nearly 20,000l. But in making this estimate, he takes the amount of land sold nominally, as if it would yield for certain the prices agreed to be given; whereas the land officer assures me that a large number of lots will be forfeited. Then the Governor expects that the fees and fines of the supreme court will nearly pay the cost of that department; whereas the fees and fines realized from 1st October, 1844, to 31st March, 1845, (the best half the year, and when it was alleged there were many cases awaiting the opening of the court,) have amounted to only 282l. It is not probable they will reach this sum in the present half-year; there is very little legal business, and 500l. a-year will probably be the maximum receipt of fees and fines from the supreme court for the year, while the cost of the department is about 7000l. to 8000l.\n\nWITH THE TREASURY\n\n109\n\nThis is a fair sample of the exaggerated notions that have been entertained and sedulously promulgated respecting this place.\n\nMy March quarterly account, although including vouchers for two quarters, to the extent of 46,480l., is very complex, by reason of the departure from the Treasury instructions, and containing numerous vouchers (some of which were with difficulty obtained after the termination of the quarter), was declared before the Governor on 17th April; and although I was absent part of the time from ill health during ten days at Canton, and my chief clerk ill and absent, yet it was balanced, with forty-eight dollars, which, in accordance with the accompanying letter, I paid into the treasury chest, with the full concurrence of the Colonial Secretary and Auditor, who formed the Board of Survey, and who acknowledged that notwithstanding the difficulties I had experienced, my quarterly account was “perfect, and creditable to me.”\n\nWithout the slightest boasting, I think my accounts will bear contrasting with those of any other colony, as to accuracy, and, as far as practicable, consistent with the deviation from the Treasury instructions by the Governor and Auditor, as to form. I hope, within a week after the termination of the June quarter, to have that account rendered; and I will endeavour to incorporate with it as many of the Consular accounts as I can obtain.\n\nSir,\n\nI have, &c.,\n\nR.

The auditor acknowledged it to be a most complete account, and passed it, after four days careful examination, without calling for any documents or objecting to the smallest item. The whole of my accounts have been found perfectly accurate in their detailed payments and balances by the Commissioners for auditing the public accounts in London; and I shall have no hesitation in placing them in comparison with those of any other department in the British empire.

Martin\n\nCol Treasurer to the\n\nColonial Secretary tendering Conditional Resignation\n\nThis office.\n\nMy dear Hawes,\n\nI send you the substance of the case of Mr. Martin, which I couched in such a manner as did not think that the addition of the words \"his foreign\" &c. to the despatch to the Colonies, under the circumstances, would be considered as binding upon Mr. Martin. The Colonial Secretary requested me to receive his resignation \"without condition\" although he said, in the letter of resignation, that it was made in order to enable himself to go to Europe, but it was an absolute (that is, as binding as Mr. Martin's) resignation.\n\nThe substance of this question is, whether Mr. Martin's resignation was absolute or conditional. I cannot see that this latter affects, in any way, the interests of this Colony or the Public Service in China. He then wrote his letter of resignation.\n\nLord Stanley was, I think, very clearly of opinion that this conditional resignation was quite indefensible.\n\nI do not think it would be regarded as of any value to raise a verbal dispute about the terms \"Conditional\" and \"Absolute\". I think it would be better to follow the substance of the matter, which is that he asked leave to go home in such a manner as would make it improper that he should be permitted to return thither in the Public Service. If I am right in my understanding, I conceive that it might be perfectly well done by remarking that his declining to continue in the correspondence clouded and disturbed the Public interests.\n\nJuly 21.\n\nI think it may be as well to tell him that his coming home having been refused on leave of absence must be considered as intimating a relinquishment of his office, & that he was absolute in his resignation, not conditional.\n\nHis predecessors regarded it as absolute.\n\nAtt.",

M. Martin having in 1844 hazarded some crude opinions regarding the settlement, thinks it necessary to maintain them still. He states that the total expenditure on account of Hongkong for one year was £500,000. I have just shown that the Civil Expenditure for 1847 was £50,959, and the Revenue £31,078, leaving only £19,881 chargeable to the Home Treasury. I will let him make out the rest of the half million himself.\n\nIn drawing a distinction between the use of spirits and the use of opium, Mr. Martin states that spirits are not deleterious; \"spirits contain the element of life; opium does not contain those elements.\" What that element or those elements of life may be, forming a component part of spirits, Mr. Martin did not inform the committee. I must state that the Emperor never appended the answer attributed to him by Mr. Martin, to any Paper.",

In the spring of this year, I was engaged by Kwo-kin, a junk-owner of the Town of Pil-ke, to enter on board his junk as net-thrower at the rate of four dollars per quarter; I tsenen-ching or Kintsenen-shing, as I cannot read or do not know whether the junk's name was Kin-write; I only remember the junk's name by sound, tell the number of the junk. and do not know the characters of it; neither can I\n\nWe had on board crew of 24 men and four boats. We set sail from Pih-ke on the 3d day of the 3d month, (6th April,)\n\nThe following morning, the 23, I went on board the [captured fishing junk; examined her and found that nearly everything moveable had been taken out except two boats. The hatches were lifted up, and a few tubs of live fish alone remained. I observed bound for Chin-hae to fish, where we arrived in the 4th month. We had papers from the Tacping Custom-house, and had our fishing tackle on board. We were armed with 2 matchlocks and 2 small guns about an inch in diameter and three feet long, as a means of defence against pirates. The Junk was above 900 piculs burden. The owner Kwo-kin was on board. During the last month we made two trips\n\nOne shot struck\n\nThe examination of JOHN CHARLES PITMAN, Esq., Commander of Her Britannic Majesty's Sloop of war Childers, taken on Oath this Twenty-ninth day of June, on the Year of Our Lord One Thousand Eight Hundred and Forty-eight, before me, Rutherford Alcock, Esquire, Her Britannic Majesty's Consul at Shanghae aforesaid, in the presence and hearing of Mariano Alvesto, native of Manila, Juan Nasieu, to the fishing ground off Poseu, the tides being favourable twice in a month for that purpose. On the 19th day of the 5th month (19th June) we again left Chin-bae in company with other fishing boats to the number of some twenty or more; but on account of our junk being larger than the other boats, they outsailed us, and we were left behind. On the 21st or 22d day (21st or 22d June) when sailing alone under Yung-shan, we suddenly saw a foreign vessel astern, which was coming up hailed us; we did not understand what they said, but we answered that we were a junk from Chin-bas, belonging to a Hong there, as we could prove to them if they followed us in. We said this, being fearing that they might think we were pirates, and might attack us.\n\nI then went to the Spec, and I told the master to muster the crew and shew the articles. The prisoner who now answers to the name of Ephraim Francis did not answer to any name in the articles.\n\nI saw being only one of the crew, I do not know the name of it, though I know the parties conducting it by sight. I asked what had become of the crew of the fishing junk and he answered, they were in the fore-hold. I ordered them on deck, and they were brought up, some of them with their hands tied; several were badly wounded: these I examined with the Surgeon of the Childers. I asked Mr Cole if he had examined the papers of the junk? He and the [Chinese] pilot pointed out the master of the junk, who produced the papers sewn inside his jacket. I told Mr Cole I should take as many [of the junk's crew] as he wished on board the mandarin junk, and recommend him or his mate to be present and hear the evidence. Everything was taken down in writing.\n\nWe had heard that two foreign pirates, but beyond that knew nothing about them. vessels were employed to protect the fishery from\n\nI asked the crew of the fishing junk what had become of the cargo, their clothes, &c. they answered, The rice, arms, and several boxes, had been taken on board the Spec, and Mr Cole pointed several out as the property of the junk. I asked if they had been plundered? They said, Something had been taken on the junk. I asked if they had been ill treated? They said, Five had been killed, and some thrown overboard. They then rushed below, made all of us fast, and passed us up on deck. I saw them throw overboard Kwo-kin's dead body. Kwa-nae, being in great agony, was calling for some one to put him out of his pain, and I saw one of the foreigners thrust at him with a sword and throw him overboard.\n\nI also saw the foreigners take up Kwo-fun in order to throw him overboard, but he struggled with them, caught hold of the bulwarks of the Junk. They then cut him down and threw him overboard, and among others [one] who is now here, having received injury from a grape shot in the foot. He stated that if this man in his feverish state was left on board and that his life would be in danger. I therefore said he should be removed to Shanghae, and brought him on board.\n\nI told Mr Cole to pick out two of the men of the junk, and either come himself or send his mate; he sent the mate the pilot of the Spec and Dr Rogers round among the prisoners, he pointed out the prisoner answering to the name of Ephraim Francis, and said I am certain this is the man.\" [R.A.] Two others of the crew, Kwo-wei-tow and Kwo-ming, are missing, but I do not know what became of them. Before throwing Kwa-kin overboard, they took from his neck a silver chin. After having thrown the bodies overboard, they searched the vessel and took away a box-pillow belonging to Kwo-kin which contained his opium and smoking apparatus. about six stone of rice, of which they afterwards returned two, and\n\nHe asked the junkmen a great many questions— pronounced them to be innocent, and wished them to be released. I asked what should be done with the arms, if I should return them to the junk? he said they had a right to a certain number for their own protection; that half should be given back to the crew and the other half he would keep. He requested that the junk and any property belonging to them which might be on board the Spec should be restored to the liberated men, and asked them where they would go? and they replied, To Chin-hae direct, to represent their case to the authorities. I told him that I should take the Spec to Shanghae.\n\nI asked if he had any complaint to make against the Spec? He said she had no right there no right to fire into the junk, and that English vessels were constantly doing the same. I stated that I regretted it exceedingly, that it was contrary to the laws of England, and if he could point out any other vessel similarly engaged, I should feel it my duty to take her. In reply he stated he was equally sorry for it, but it was a very bad affair.\n\nOn the morning of the 22d June, standing up for the Ruggeds in H. M. Sloop Childers, I observed a schooner in company with a Chinese junk standing in for the south end of the Ruggeds,—it falling calm we were obliged to anchor between two or three miles from the schooner. The schooner and the junk anchored in a bay where there were three men-of-war junks; the schooner afterwards went alongside the junk and began discharging every thing out of her; a quantity of useless things, such as planks, matting, &c., floated past for several hours, and was reported to me by the officers. I weighed about 4 P.M. and proceeded to where the schooner was at anchor, and I immediately sent an officer on board the schooner, Mr Berkeley, to desire the master to come on board with his log and papers. Mr Cole, now present, came, I asked him if he was the master of the schooner Spec? He answered, For the time being; also asked him what he was doing there, and what reason he had for molesting the junk? He then stated that he had taken her the evening previous; that she was a pirate. I asked him what authority he had for doing it? He answered, None, but the Pilot had told him she was a pirate. [I asked him as he sailed so well why he did not go alongside of her, instead of going ahead as he stated and firing into her, as it was well known a Chinese junk would not have escaped, and that he ought to have hailed her and said he wanted to examine her.—R.A.] He voluntarily stated that several [of the crew of the junk] had been killed and wounded by their shot.\n\nI asked him if he was aware of the serious consequences of what he had done? and he said, No—that he saw no harm in it, that the same thing had been done before. I asked him repeatedly if the junk had in any way molested or interfered with or fired at him? He distinctly said, No. I asked him why, if the junk was a piratical vessel, he had not called upon me or the Chinese war junks to take it, as I had been in sight more than 14 hours? He said he did not know.\" I asked him were he had captured her, he said a short distance from where we had anchored in the morning to the Westward. I asked him why two boats were alongside? and he answered they had been assisting in towing her in. Those two boats immediately saw us approaching, sailed away towards the Chusan Group—they had obviously been taking the plunder from the junk. As the ship's company for several hours saw the more valueless contents float past,\n\nI told Mr Cole that he had committed a very serious offence, having by his own account killed and wounded several Chinese subjects, and that it was my duty to detain him. I asked him where he was from? He stated from Ningpo. Where he was bound? he answered, Nowhere he was going to look for his consort the Dido. to supply her with Powder and Shot. I asked him if he did not know that he could not be sailing about without being bound for some port: he said. He did not. Asked whether he had put in for stress of weather? and he said, No. I then referred to his articles, and asked him why his name was not there, as he represented himself to be the master of the vessel? He stated he was only there for a time while some one was sick.\n\nI then said I should examine his ship the following morning, and asked him if he had any papers to shew what brought him there? He said he had one.\n\n*The names of the Seamen are so illegibly written, that we are by no means certain all of them have been correctly deciphered.—ED. C.M.\n\nI then returned to the Spec, and saw part of the arms of the Junk returned in one of the Spec's boats. I told Mr Cole that the junk's papers were all perfectly correct, that the men were innocent men, and they with their property must be immediately sent on board their own vessel, Mr Cole then turned to the pilot and said, \"What a nice mess you have got me into;\" and I then asked the pilot if he had said she was a pirate, and he replied, No—that he had only wanted to examine her. I asked Mr Cole who paid him? He said he did not know, believed he was put on board and paid by some Chinese merchants.]\n\nThe men of the Junk afterwards sent a complaint that everything had been taken out and the shot-holes were visible through their sails.\n\nthe few cash I had in it. These things I saw them take, but I cannot say of my own knowledge whether they took anything else. They then directed us to accompany them to Yung-shan, and when we approached the land, two boats from the foreign man-of-war boarded us, and asked for our papers which we shewed them, but they, not understanding them, took them on board the mandarin's junks of which there were several anchored under Yung-shan. One of the men-of-war boats returned again, and took two of our men, one a helmsman and the other a sailor, on board the mandarin's junk to be interrogated. in his cap, asked them when we had left Chin-hae, with what Hong we were connected there, what places we had been to, and what fish we had caught? These questions being answered, he then returned them the papers of our Junk, and told them they might depart, and that we might return again to our fishing. The two men were brought back on board our Junk in the man-of-war's boat; we then prepared to return to Chin-hae, but I was taken on board the man-of-war, where they told me that I should go with them to Shanghae, and that my wound would be attended during the time I was on board. I was treated with the utmost kindness to there.\n\nTrue Interpretation,\n\nHARRY S.

I went on board the Schooner Spec by Commander Pitman's order on the 23d instant. \"I saw three wounded Junkmen, one of them the witness recently examined, Ching-ke, and the other two had only received contusions and the injuries were slight. I asked how the injury had been received? The prisoner present, William Cole, said he thought it was by a grape shot. I heard William Cole say that he had fired into the Junk. I considered it necessary that Ching-ke should be removed for treatment, as the consequences of such wounds are frequently dangerous. I heard the answer of the Admiral interpreted to Captain Pitman, that the Junk in question was a proper Junk, by which I understood not a piratical vessel.\n\nWILLIAM ROGERS, M.D., Surgeon.\n\nTaken before me, &c.\n\nShanghae, &c.\n\nThe examination of JOSHUA BERKELEY, Esq., mate on board H.

I returned with this answer, and was again despatched with orders to the master to be on board H. M.'s S. Childers with his Log and papers within half an hour.

The English vessel did wrong to take her; she has a right to carry arms. If the Chinese Admiral likes, the arms shall be returned to the junk—Part of them.\n\nIf he likes, remainder shall be sent to him or thrown overboard?—To be sent to him. Which was done.\n\nCaptain Pitman then told the junkmen that their junk, rice, and part of their arms, would be returned to them, and they would be allowed to go on with their fishing. They said they would return to Chin-hai.\n\nCaptain Pitman told the Chinese Admiral that the English schooner Spec had fired into the junk and wounded 3 men, and that one of the wounded men would be sent to the Shanghae Hospital for medical treatment. He said it was a bad affair, but was much obliged.\n\nAre you now quite satisfied that the junk is not a pirate? Yes, she is a fishing Junk of Chin-hae.\n\nI, John Charles Pitman, Commander of Her Majesty's Sloop Childers, do solemnly declare that the above is a true statement of my Questions and the Answers made to same, &c.

At six o'clock on the morning of that day, the Childers being then about\n\nPage 365\n\nfive miles from the shore, I saw a schooner and a Chinese junk was in company with her; looking with the glass I judged the junk to be almost a quarter of a mile from her, but it was impossible to judge correctly at that distance; the junk was standing into a bay, in the same way as the Spec (afterwards found the schooner to be) The junk and the schooner between 8 and 9 that morning anchored in a bay there close to each other; in the bay were three mandarin junks and some fishing-boats. It was calm, and we were obliged to anchor at A. M. between two and three miles of the schooner. During the forenoon we observed the schooner and junk apparently alongside of each other. I saw that some things were being discharged from the junk into the schooner, and refuse, floated past the Childers; from the direction in which they floated I supposed they had been thrown over from the junk; the tide flowed in a right line between the junk and the Childers. At 4 P. M. that day I weighed and made the Childers down to the schooner. I anchored about half a cable from her, and found the junk about half a cable's length nearly astern of her. I found the schooner to be the Spec. In consequence of a message sent by me on board the Spec at 5.30 P. M. that day, prisoner Cole came on board the Childers, bringing a Log-book and some Ship's Articles (witness produces them) which he affirmed to be the Log-book and Articles of the Spec. He said that he was acting as master of the Spec for another person who was absent at Ningpo. I asked him what he was doing there and what he was doing with the junk; he said he had captured her. I asked him if he had had any communication with the Mandarins, and what he had done with the people belonging to the junk; he said No to the first question, and to the second that the people were on board the Spec. I then asked him why he had not taken these men to the Mandarins, or brought them to me, as I had been in sight of him all day; he said he did not know. It was getting late and I told him that I should examine his vessel in the morning. He said in reply to any questions that he had not put in for stress of weather: that he was from Ningpo, and did not know any place in particular to which he was bound; that the junk had not fired at him or molested him, but that the pilot had told him that she was a pirate. I asked him why he had hailed her. He did not reply to this, before nine o'clock next morning I went on board the junk and examined her; I found that everything had been taken out of her excepting some nets and some small tubs of fish for bait. There were several shot holes in her hull that might have been caused by sound shot from a three or six-pounder gun; then I went to the Spec and mustered the Spec's crew. I found the articles were incorrect. Prisoner Cole said that the Chinese crew of the junk were in the fore hold of the Spec. I saw them brought on deck from the fore hold; their hands were tied together; seven of them had wounds about them; one of them was so severely wounded that I sent for the medical officer to examine him. I asked Cole how these wounds had been received, he said by shot from the Spec. I asked Cole if he had papers of the junk, he said. No; I then asked for the head man of the junk. One of the Chinamen came forward and produced some papers that had been sewn up in his clothing, and which by the interpretation of a Chinese from the Childers were pronounced to be the junk's papers. I conveyed to the\n\nPage 366\n\nhanded them over to the Chinese Mandarins. When subsequently questioned Cole about it, Cole said that the wound was caused by a grape shot from the Spec; and prisoner Ephraim Francis added that he thought it must have been caused by a grape shot. I subsequently released the crew of the junk, excepting the man who was badly wounded, and who was sent on board the Childers to be under medical care. I went to the Mandarins, and the crew of the junk (that is two of them) were examined before them. The Mandarins, as the interpreter explained to me, wished the crew of the junk to be released, as their papers were good. By their request I also handed over to them half the arms of the junk, handing the others to the junk's crew. The junk was a fishing junk of the ordinary class fishing thereabouts,\n\nThe quantity of arms belonging to the junk was not unusually large; the crew said she had them to protect herself against pirates. I found in a list of the arms belonging to the junk as detailed to me by Cole. Between 4 and 5 P. M. on the 22d June last I saw two Chinese boats alongside the junk; shortly afterwards as we\n\nJ. C.

The prisoners said that they were willing to become evidence. The Governor told me to offer this free pardon, I have not seen the depositions taken at Shanghae since they were taken. The mandarin said he considered the junk had too many arms, as she was only allowed to carry a certain number, which number he did not know, so he kept a portion of them.

Cole replied, that he was there for the protection of the fisheries under orders from Mr Davidson.\n\nWILLIAM ROGERS———AWON.\n\nI am Surgeon of Her Majesty's ship Childers.\n\nI was on board on 23 June last: she was then off the Rugged Islands; the Spec was lying not far from her.\n\nAt about 10 a.m., I went on board the Spec by Captain Pitman's order to see some wounded Chinamen.\n\nI saw three wounded Chinamen on board the Spec.

        "content_text": "4) Junks. I could not distinguish the men in the junk, it was Su Jark. After this first stone was thrown, the gentlemen spoke again to the junkmen; the only words that could understand that the junkmen said were that \"sti pow\" (small gun) but I cannot say whether this was said before or after the stones were thrown, but told the gentlemen that the junkmen said \"They keep small gun fire.\" Some of the gentlemen wanted to go on board the junk. Mr May took the helm to steer the boat to the junk. Two of the gentlemen did not want to go to the junk; there was only one man pulling at the time; and the other boat-people went into the stern of our boat, as we were afraid. We were close enough to these junks to enable me to recognize them again. I saw about twenty men on board the junk; I only saw the upper parts of the men's bodies; could not say if they had pikes in their hands. After this we came ashore at Gibb's wharf; in our boat were two men, one woman, and a boy. There were no junks within fourteen feet of these two junks. When I came ashore I came with Mr Muir to the Police Station; Mr Muir got the Policemen, and went down to the Bank wharf; I went in the Police-boat with Mr Mair; we went to the two junks, the same junks which threw the stones at us. We got within about seventy feet of the junks; the Lukong in the Police-boat said something in the Pokeen or Tib-tchieu dialect. The Lukong said at the time he spoke in Tila-tchien. The Police-boat had a light which she showed; there were no Chinese characters on this lantern. The junkmen did not say anything; they were making a noise on board the junks; the junkmen then threw more than ten stones at us; we then returned, and Mr Mair and two other gentlemen came off again with me in a Chinese boat; the Police went before us.\n\n(11)\n\nmy boat next. Mr May's boat had no interpreter in her. I heard the men in the junks sing out \"Pha, p'ha.\" I called out as loud as I could (for fear of the junks being Pokeen boats and strangers) \"Do not fire.\" The breeze at this time was fresh, and we were to leeward of the junks; my boat showed a lantern. The junks then fired single shots; I could not say by the report if the guns were loaded; our boats returned the fire. Mr May's boat got alongside; I saw something go over the bows of Mr May's boat, and someone said, \"There's a man overboard.\" Mr May's boat backed down, and told us to cease firing; the men in the junk still continued to use the words \"Lo hu-p'ha, p'ha,\" \"Police devils-fight, fight,\" (or beat, or strike); we then dropped astern, and waited for May's return from the Cambrian. While waiting, an English boat pulled up; found it was a guard-boat. The officer asked me what was the matter; I told him; he returned to the Cambrian. When Mr May came the junks and then we followed; I came ashore in a man-of-war's boat, and on landing wanted to take the Chinamen's tails together that came ashore in her, and found only one or two had tails. I asked, \"How is this?\" when one of the sailors said, \"Here's one of them,\" pulling out a tail from the breast of his shirt. The two men who died at the Station were not any of those men I came ashore with. One of them was brought by a Police-boat, the other man was found the sailors bringing up the Queen's Road; he was quite naked; and seven other prisoners were with him. I escorted them to the station, and took the wounded man to the station Hospital; the boat he came in was one of the cutters; there was an officer in charge of the boat.\n\nD. R. CALDWELL.\n\nDANIEL RICHARD CALDWELL re-examined.--When Mr May left me to go to the man-of-war, he told me to wait till he came back, and watch the boats; he did not give me any other orders.\n\nD. R. CALDWELL.\n\n(16)\n\nJAMES HANWAY PLUMRIDGE sworn,--I am senior officer of H. M. Naval forces in China. On Sunday evening last I was informed by the officer of the watch that Mr May came on board the Cambrian, and made a complaint that some junkmen had been assaulting one gentleman; that his authority was called in question; and that the junkmen would not allow him to come on board; and threatened to fire, and did fire, at him. I sent for Captain Morris, and told what I have stated, and told him to get the boats hoisted out and prepared. He proposed to send a boat or two; I told him No, to send all the boats; not to take the large guns, but to see that they were all armed. These boats I ordered to go in three divisions--the launch, pinnace, and barge; the two cutters and Jolly boat were astern of them and a boat astern of each large boat. I sent for Lieutenant Lloyd, told him of the nature of the complaint that was made, and desired him to back the police, and take any or all of the men on board of the junks and give them in charge of the police. The reason of my sending so large a force was to prevent a loss of life, that the Chinese might submit without resistance when they saw the force. I finished by saying to Mr Lloyd,\n\nWhen you get to the junks, you will divide your boats in two divisions, and you will board on the quarter and opposite quarter; you will board sword in hand; if there is any doubt about the junks, bring them off, and we will anchor them one under each bow of the ship. After the boats had gone, after some time, one boat returned with six Chinese; I told them to take them ashore to the Police, not to let them on board. The reason of my wish for the boats to board was for fear the junks should have cut their cables and gone away; to prevent which I had guns trained aft, and would have fired into them had they attempted to get away. I gave an officer a couple of blue lights, and told him to burn them, in case they did not receive a resistance was made. This signal was not made, because they did receive a resistance was made.\n\n...\n\n(17)\n\nJ. HANWAY PLUMRIDGE.\n\nANDY WILLIAM CHAPMAN WISE sworn,--I am Acting Second Master on Board H. M. S. Cambrian. On Sunday evening last, I was in command of the second cutter under Lieutenant Lloyd. [Gives similar evidence to Lieutenant Lloyd as to the attack and boarding.] When I boarded I saw no Chinese; but I saw our men leading up some prisoners from below. The first men were passed into the second cutter; there were seven of them. I did not see any cutlasses or bayonets used on the deck of the small junk; do not know what took place below. I saw several Chinese jump into the water; there was one that I went after; he was wounded in the shoulder when I picked him up; he was swimming; I think he had a pair of trousers on; I secured his hands and laid him down in the bottom of the boat; I think this man's wound was from a musket bullet. I took the prisoners first on board the Cambrian, and was then told to take them to the Station. There were no shots fired from my boat at any Chinese in the water. After the boarding I heard firing; also heard firing down into the hold of the junk, from her deck. I was in the cutter at this time. I landed the prisoners down to the westward. I saw one or two shots fired either by the Police or our men from the junk at the men in the water.\n\n(18)\n\nW. C. WISE.\n\nROBERT ELLIOT sworn,--I am a midshipman on board H. M. ship Cambrian. On Sunday evening I was in the pinnace under the command of Lieutenant Lloyd; we had the second cutter in tow, and were to board the outward of the two junks after the two signals as previously agreed on were fired. All the boats cheered and gave way alongside; the Chinese fired four or five ginjals, and some small arms; immediately they fired we fired about twenty muskets; we fired in the direction where we saw fire from the junks;\n\nQuestioned by Mr Shortrede--In the junks after we boarded, I saw no Chinese cut down with cutlasses. After we boarded, I heard about eight or nine shots fired at the men in the water; cannot say whether they were fired by the Police or our boats. The reason of the large force I took was in consequence of what I heard the first time from the Police, and after consulting with the Commodore. I did not know at the time that any of the men had their tails cut off. I have since heard such was the case. When I boarded the junk and heard the firing at the people in the water, I sang out as loud as I could to cease firing. None of my men were wounded with shot.\n\nHENRY LLOYD, Lieutenant R.N. H. M. S. Cambrian.\n\n(12)\n\nJOSEPH HENRY JOLLIFFE sworn,--I am first Lieutenant of Marines on board H. M. S. Cambrian. On Sunday evening last, I heard firing ashore. Shortly after Mr May came alongside in the Police-boat; he came on board and spoke to Mr Pulling, the master. In consequence of what he said the boats were ordered out; there were six boats altogether; between twenty-five and thirty marines went in the boats; they had muskets and bayonets; I was in the launch under the command of Lieutenant Lloyd. After we boarded the two junks, some shots were fired from the small junk at something in the water; I was almost certain it was at a man in the water; this shot was fired either by our men or the Police. There were twelve men from the junks put into one of the cutters; Mr Pulling and I were in charge of this cutter. A second cutter under the command of Mr Wise took some more Chinese ashore, and landed lower down than we did; we landed at Mr Bowra's wharf. The Chinese that we brought ashore had blood about them. Coming ashore I saw another Chinaman in the water; we saw him when we shoved off from the junks; I heard one shot fired at this man; there may have been more; this shot either came from a police or man-of-war's boat. Some of the men had their tails cut off; one was cut off in the launch; another I saw cut off in the junk. A seaman cut off these tails in each case; one sailor cut off a tail with his clasp knife; this was in the launch. The prisoners were first handed into the launch and then into the cutter. While the Chinese were in the cutter coming ashore, none of their tails were cut off. I heard on board the vessel that several Chinamen's tails were brought on board the Cambrian; I saw one with Mr Elliot, a midshipman.\n\nQuestioned by Mr Shortrede--After boarding I saw no wounds inflicted by cutlasses. There was nothing said to the junkmen before we boarded them.\n\nJ. H. JOLLIFFE.\n\n(13)\n\nour shot, if any missed, would have gone in the direction of Jardine's. I saw one Chinaman in the water; a Policeman in our boat fired at this man; he struck him; we took the man into the second cutter; I am not positive that the shot was fired from our boat. I got a Chinaman's tail from one of the men on board; he found it in one of the boats.\n\nR. ELLIOT.\n\nJOHN RICKETT sworn,--I heard a ring on Sunday evening last off the Tower Bazaar; went out in the verandah, and just as the last gun was fired, I heard the word \"Lum-chi\" (water-thieves) called out. The sound came from where I heard the ring; the same sound was repeated. After that I went to bed. I was afterwards disturbed, and was told there was firing; after that I thought I heard cheering.\n\nQuestioned by Mr Shortrede--I have been in command of a vessel. Suppose you were in a harbour where a boat came alongside your vessel showing a bright light, and addressing you in a language which you did not understand, would you allow these men, or any of them, to come on board? Certainly not.--Would you, if you thought it necessary to prevent their coming on board, fire at them? I considered that they were thieves and a strong party, and that I could resist them by firing, I would.\n\n1st Lieutenant R. Marines.\n\nWILLIAM BUCHANAN ALEXANDER sworn,--I am a midshipman on board H. M.'s Frigate Cambrian. I was in the launch with Mr Lloyd on Sunday evening last. After I boarded the junks, I saw some shots fired from the junk at some men in the water; I heard, I think, four shots fired either by our men or the police. The jolly-boat under charge of Mr Victor was to look after the men in the water. I saw a Police-boat following me in the water; can't say whether they fired at this man. I did not see any of the Chinamen's tails cut off.\n\nW. B. ALEXANDER, Midshipman.\n\nBy Mr Cairns.--Supposing you were in a part the language of which you did not understand, and that a boat with a light came alongside of your vessel in which an individual speaking a language partially known to you gave you to understand that they were Policemen, would you make the same resistance? No, I should be doubtful what I should do in that case.\n\n(14)\n\nJACOB PHILLIPS sworn,--I live in one of Mr Oswald's houses close to the water. I heard the firing on Sunday evening; it was about three or four hundred yards from my house; this was about eight or quarter past eight. About 11 o'clock we heard another volley, and then a second. I went down to the Pier, and heard the shouting of men, but could not say what it was. I then went down with some friends to Acqui's wharf; heard a shouting of Europeans on board a Chinese vessel, and some shots fired, I think at some men in the water. From the time I heard the volleys until we heard these shots was about half an hour; I heard several balls whistle over my house after the second volley was fired.\n\nJ. PHILLIPS.\n\n(15)\n\nDANIEL RICHARD CALDWELL sworn,--I am Deputy Superintendent of Police. On Sunday night I went with Mr May in the Police-boats to the two junks to take the crews in custody. Mr May's boat was first.\n\n[do in that case]\n\nBy Mr Shortrede--If you had understood that in that part boatmen calling themselves policemen, and in the guise of policemen, were in the habit of boarding such vessels as yours and robbing them, would you resist under these circumstances? I certainly would.\n\n(20)\n\nJNO. RICKETT.\n\nThursday, 19th October.\n\nCHARLES MAY sworn,--I am Superintendent of Police. On Sunday evening last, Deputy Inspector Ryan informed me that Mr Mair and some other gentlemen had been to the Station and made a complaint, that while passing in a small boat in the harbour, a junk threw stones at them. Mr Ryan said he sent a Police-boat with two European Constables and a Chinese interpreter, Poon-chow, in order that the head-men of the junk might be brought to the Station; and came from this boat for further orders, as the Police had stones thrown at them--which orders Mr Ryan came to me to receive. I came to the Station and made more particular inquiries about the case, and ordered two other boats to be manned.\n\n...\n\n297",

        "content_text": "238\n\nand officers, amounted to 26, 11 of whom were Europeans; 6 or 7 Europeans had carbines, and I think about half of the remainder had muskets; there were likewise 4 or 5 cutlasses. Before leaving I gave out rounds of ammunition, and I believe the Police had 20 rounds more. I placed Mr Caldwell in charge of one boat, Mr Ryan in charge of another; I went in the third; in my boat there were 8 in all. Two junks were pointed out to me as the two junks from which the stones were thrown at the Police-boat; mine was the nearest in-shore to the junks; my boat was the outside one. Mr Caldwell's boat was in the rear of mine; the other boat was in-shore. I steered alongside the outward junk. I felt the boat kept back; I could not get her wholly broadside on to the junk before arriving alongside. The people in the junks had fired large and small guns, I mean ginjals and matchlocks. I heard shots strike the water. This fire was returned by all the Police boats. I heard Mr Caldwell speaking in Chinese very loud, and answers apparently made from the junks. Finding the other boats did not get alongside, and that a determined resistance was made, I ordered my boat to be shoved off, and told the other two boats to fall back. After leaving the junks, they continued firing 5 or 6 shots from ginjals; I told the Police not to return the fire, and ordered them out of reach of the fire from the junk. Some of the Police had no ammunition this time; they asked me for some, as they were anxious to return and make a second attack; a European in my boat had no arms. At this time I was not aware of any accident happening to the Police force; I had seen a man in the water when alongside the junk, but believed him to be one of the junkmen; I had an idea of picking him out, but on looking round, found he had either sunk or was taken on board the junk. The time I was alongside I was about half a minute; my impression was that my boat was kept back either by spears or bamboos from the junk; I could not see them, as it was remarkably dark, the wind strong, and the sea high. I determined to go to H.M.S. Cambrian for assistance, and ordered all but four rowers into another boat; before going, I directed Mr Caldwell to go as near the sterns of the junks as he could with safety, and request them to give in; and that if they did not, I was going to the man-of-war, and they would run the risk of being shot. Mr Caldwell called to me from his boat, that the junkmen were determined to resist. I then pulled to the Cambrian. The two junks were pointed out to me by the third Police-boat that remained near. I had no Chinamen in my boat; nothing was said to the junkmen from my boat. I heard Mr Caldwell calling out loudly to the junk people before any firing. I had a lantern in my boat, which I shewed; the three boats were to leeward of the junks; my boat may have been about 100 feet from the junks while Mr Caldwell was speaking; lights were shewn from one Police-boat to another while directions were given by me. When I arrived on board the Cambrian, I saw an officer, and asked if he was officer of the deck; he answered, \"Yes.\" I said, as nearly as I can recollect, \"I am the Superintendent of Police, and have come to apply to the Commodore for assistance to capture two suspicious junks which had fired upon and hustled off the Police-boats.\" The officer asked me if that was the firing he heard; I told him it was, and he desired me to accompany him below. He went into the stern cabin, and shortly after came out saying assistance should be rendered; I remained on deck till the boats were nearly ready, and then went into my own boat and guided the men-of-war's boats to where the junks were lying, pointing them out to the officer who was in command of the party. When I arrived near the junks, being ahead of the men-of-war boats, I saw the two Police-boats lying within 150 yards of the junks; the Police were rowing in the direction of the junks. I ordered them to keep to the rear of me, and not to fire. It was lighter by this time; it was now about 12 o'clock; I saw the navy boats go alongside the junk, and heard the people in the junks as if cheering or making a great shouting; before the navy boats touched the junks, they were fired into. A volley was fired by the navy boats, and afterwards there were about 20 straggling shots, but cannot say exactly whether they were wholly from the navy boats or some from the junks; after these shots were fired the navy boats cheered and boarded; the noise on board the junk was when I first got near. I boarded after the man-of-war's men; nearly all the sailors and marines were in the junks; they were very crowded. I saw some powder thrown overboard, and heard the plunging as of something heavy into the water; none of the junkmen at this time were to be seen; many of the sailors were below searching; it was dark below; Police lanterns were got; I did not see the sailors using their cutlasses; I saw no Chinamen in the water. I sent Mr Caldwell's boat to pick up some men who I heard in the water. Constable Smith was, I think, in the boat. I should say that the first fire from the Police-boats (before the navy boats came) did not take effect on the junks, as I heard no cries from the junk after the fire. I told the officer I would take charge of the junks, and that if he would lend me a boat to take the prisoners on shore, I would take charge of them. He ordered boats for this purpose, and directed all his men to go into the boats and leave the junks, which they did. I remained about half an hour after this on board; I had a thorough search made in and round the junks. Boarding nettings were triced up in the junk; they were the ordinary make of fishing nets. I examined the boats in order to satisfy myself whether the boats were piratical ones or not; and I believe they are not piratical boats; one had a cargo of molasses, and grain, and physic; the other boat, the large one, was empty. I found 4 matchlocks and 3 ginjals in the two boats; one of the watchlocks was burst; there were more lanyards and ropes for other ginjals.\n\nQuestion by Mr Shurtred—Mr Caldwell does not speak the dialect of the junkmen, but he understands a little. I was about 100 feet from the junks at the time Mr Caldwell spoke to them; his boat was to the rear of mine about 10 feet; the wind was high; we were to leeward of the junks; my belief was, and is that the junkmen understood and answered Mr Caldwell. We have 11 men now at the Station from these junks—nearly all were wounded—21 were brought to the Station from the junks, and one was picked up dead on Monday. I consider I have power under clause 7 of Ordinance 14 of 1840, to board any vessel whatever in the harbour, either day or night—of course having a reasonable object in view. The Superintendent and Inspectors of the Metropolitan London Police have exactly the same power. I have frequently exercised this power both day and night.\n\nQ. Under all the circumstances of this case, considering the trivial nature of the original charge, and the slight resistance the junks could have afforded to such a force as you took with you, did you feel yourself fully authorised to call in the assistance of the man-of-war without a Magistrate's Warrant? A. I conscientiously believe that under all the circumstances of the case, notwithstanding its slight origin, that no other proper course was open to me. With reference to my authority to get the assistance of the Navy, any Constable has power to demand assistance in carrying out his duty. As regards myself, I am authorised as commanding the Police to apply for the assistance of the Naval power on such occasion. I considered an overpowering force would effect the object of capturing the junks without any resistance or consequent bloodshed. I was not consulted with reference to the force from the man-of-war. When a person makes a complaint at the Station, it is a matter of course that immediate attention shall be paid to the complaint, so that the parties offending may be forthcoming to answer it. It was not consistent with the Inspectors' duty to allow Mr Muir's complaint to stand over till next day without taking immediate measures to apprehend the offenders, or otherwise secure their attendance next day.\n\nQuestioned by Mr Cairns.—When you applied for assistance from the Naval Commander, did you consider these were trading junks or pirates?—My impression was that they were piratical junks, because I could not account for the resistance they made but under such supposition.\n\nBy Mr Shortrede.—Whose duty is it to board and examine these junks when they anchor in the Harbour?—I do not consider that any government officer considers it his duty to Board Chinese vessels in this harbour, with a view of ascertaining their characters generally, unless upon especial information or suspicion; and in such a case it is my duty.\n\nQ. Does it consist with your knowledge that men dressed as policemen, or with badges upon their arms calling themselves policemen, have scurried and robbed junks in the Harbour? A. There have been none to my knowledge since the increase to the water-police 18 months ago; before that there were two instances of robbery by violence in the Harbour by persons representing themselves as policemen, and two cases of extortion by threats by Chinese in the employ of the government. A case occurred in April 1847—there was an attack made by a lorcha manned by Chinese and Portuguese representing themselves as policemen, who robbed a junk off Jardine's of a considerable amount of property.\n\n(21)\n\nCHARLES MAY.\n\nFriday 20th October. Al-Tew states, was in charge of the largest of the two junks; the crew consisted of ten men altogether; there were no passengers. My vessel came from How-tong; we were here about 20 days; we brought salt and live pigs. On the evening of the 19th, Chinese month, about dark, while my boat was lying alongside of a small junk, a small boat came near the junks; I was in the cabin at the time, and heard a cry of thieves from the small junk. I came on deck; did not see the small boat, as it was so dark; the small boat went away; I then returned to the cabin, and did not come out of the cabin until 2 or 3 boats came near the junks; they came about half an hour after the first. I did not hear anything said by the people in these boats; the small junk fired 2 or 3 shots, I think at them; it was very dark at this time; the small boats fired at the small junk. After this a great many boats came; these boats fired at the small junk, and the people in them came on board and threw me and the other men into the boat. My tail was cut off by one of these men.\n\n(22)\n\nEDWARD COHEN sworn, I am an assistant at Messrs Phillips, Moore & Co.'s, in Victoria. On Sunday evening last, I heard firing on the water near our place; did not know what it was at first; but went down to the window below Aequi's in the Lower Bazaar. I saw several shots fired from or at a junk a short distance from the shore. The only expression I could hear was, \"See, a man overboard,\" or \"Here's a man overboard.\" I immediately heard a shot fired. Previous to this there were one or two volleys fired, and I could hear the balls whistling round our house.\n\nE. Cohen.\n\n(23)\n\nROBERT MCKENZIE sworn,—I am a constable; I was left in the boat with Sergeant M'Lean lying off the junks on Sunday night when the men-of-war's boats came, in order to pick up any Chinese we might see in the water. I saw no Chinamen in the water. I was in the boat, and a dog was thrown overboard from the small junk; I was about five or six yards from the junk; the dog was black; a shot was fired at it by a marine—saw his belt—the shot killed it. If there were any Chinamen in the water near the boat, I would have seen them. I heard firing on board the junks; by the sound it was firing down into the holds of the junks; we were then under the bows of the junk. The sampan was looted overboard from the junks either by the marines or sailors. I heard one of the officers tell the men to cease firing—this was after the firing into the hold.\n\n(24)\n\nR. MCKENZIE.\n\nTHURSTAN DALE sworn,—I was with Messrs Devan and Muir, and others on Sunday evening in their boat coming from the Tam o'Shanter; we left the vessel about half-past six in the evening; our boat, the wind being strong, came within about ten yards of two junks; we had to go past them to get ashore; the men in the junks made a noise; it sounded to me not as if they were pulling up their anchor or anything of that kind but seemed as if they meant it for us to keep off; that at least was my impression, although I did not know the language. One of our boatmen replied to the junk people; there was then a shout, or hurrah, from some of the party in the boat—I was in one, two, or three, may have joined in the shout; boatmen did not join in the shout.\n\nAfter this the junkmen I think called out something, after which a stone struck one boat. We then pulled ahead of the junks, and Mr Bevan wished to go on board the junks, to see what the stone was thrown for; He took hold of the boat's tiller, and put the boat's head towards the junks. The boatmen refused to go; I said it was no use—that it was better to come ashore. While this was going on, several stones were thrown at the boat; I don't remember that any of the stones struck our boat. We then came ashore, and I came up to the Police Office with Messrs Muir and Roose. I went down afterwards to my boat to see what the Police boats did; I waited for some time, did not see any of them, and came away and went home.\n\nExamined by Mr Morison.—The discussion that took place between Mr Bevan and myself about his going on board the junks was sufficiently loud for the junkmen to hear.\n\nTHURSTAN DALE.\n\n(25)\n\n[Lie-kip-ty, and Che-yeuk, both sworn in as interpreters, they having a knowledge of the Tin-chien dialect.]\n\nPoon-Chow sworn—I am a Lukong. On Sunday evening last some gentlemen came and made a report at the Police Station. I went with them and the police in the boat; Mr Ryan told me to go and tell the Captain of the junk to come up to the Station, to see why stones were thrown at the gentlemen. I went in the boat about thirty feet from the junk—this was about 7 o'clock in the evening, and spoke to them in Chinese [Here the witness was asked to say in Chinese what he said to the junkmen. The witness's answer was rendered in English by the two interpreters,\n\n\"Friend, I got something to say: I wish the Captain to come Ashore.\" (The original words were spoken in the Pokéen dialect) Further he said, \"This is a mandarin boat come to talk to him; and not to be afraid\" (This was also said in Fokeen. When I first spoke to the junkmen, I was as far from them as this is from Mr Holdforth's house (a distance of about two hundred feet.) [The witness here corrects himself, and says this was in reference to his second visit to these junks.] The junkmen the first time did not say anything to me; they then threw stones at us. First when I went, there was not much wind. [The witness is asked to point out, if he can, the distance he was at from the junks when he first spoke to them; and he points to a house distant about fifty yards.] then returned to No. 1 Station, and waited there. I went again in the Police-boat to the junks; and stood about a 100 feet from them. At this time there was not much wind; I do not know in what direction it was blowing. I spoke again to the junkmen this second time the same as I did on the first occasion. The people in the junk said to me, not to come near; if we did, they would fire. They said nothing else to me; I said no more to them, and then came ashore. They threw stones at us; none of them struck the boat. The first time stones were thrown—that is, when I went in the first boat—some of the stones struck the boat, and some of the crew were struck. I then came on shore, and waited in the boat. When Messrs May and Caldwell came, I went back in the boat again to the junks; Mr May's boat was first, next to the junks; I was in Mr Ryan's boat. I did not on this occasion speak to the junks; I do not know if anything was said in the other boats. At this time, the boat I was in was 16 or 18 feet from Mr May's boat and Mr Caldwell's boat was between us; I did not hear anything said from Mr Caldwell's or Mr May's boat to the junkmen. It was then blowing hard; there was no interpreter in Mr May's boat; we were then about 400 feet from the junks; they were making a noise on both the junks. The only words I heard were \"Kuk-chang p'la,\" which means \"Take gun and fire.\" My boat was close to Mr Caldwell during all this time; anything that was said by the junkmen I must have heard as well as Mr Caldwell. Each boat had a light, which they shewed to the junk. I then heard shots fired from the outward junk—they only fired at Mr May's boat; the boat I was in then fired. After the shots were fired, the junkmen said nothing to the Police. I then retired, and Mr May told us to wait until he went to the man-of-war; Mr May did not tell us to do anything while he was away, but to wait. Nothing was said either from Mr Caldwell's boat or the one I was in to the junkmen while Mr May was away, nor was anything said to the junkmen until the men-of-war's men fired. I did not go on board the junks until the sailors of the men-of-war left them.\n\n(26)\n\nKoo-CAP sworn.—By Mr Cairns—I never was in Hongkong before. I belong to the small junk. By Mr Shurtrede,—[The words which Poon-chow stated he used on Sunday evening to the junkmen he now repeats in presence of Koo-cap, who being asked through the interpreter, says \"I never heard these words before\" and being asked the meaning of the words, he says, they mean \"Friend, is the Captain on board?\"\n\n(27)\n\nWILLIAM PEDDER sworn,—I am the Harbour Master of Victoria, and Marine Magistrate.\n\nExamined by Mr Shortrede.—Do you recognise this Proclamation, (producing a Proclamation in Chinese, initialed by the Coroner.)—I fancy I do from the Stamp; it bears the Seal of the Marine Magistrate's Office. I do not read Chinese or understand it.\n\nDo you know the import of the Proclamation?—I think I do.\n\nCan you tell its import?—Yes; it is a proclamation from His Excellency the late Governor of Hongkong to all trading junks anchoring in the Harbour.\n\nFrom whom did you receive instructions to issue this proclamation?—From Mr Shelley for the Colonial Secretary, by letter dated 28th May 1846. I hold in my hand the letter I allude to; I produce the letter handed in the letter, which, at the request of the jury is read; as also the copy of the Proclamation accompanying that letter, the copies are annexed] Examined by the Coroner.—I distributed these Eighteen Copies of the Proclamation. After they were all gone I obtained more from Mr Gutzlaff the Chinese Secretary, by whom I presume they were originally prepared. I went on board the junks myself when I distributed them. I was requested to make them public, and left some copies at the Hong where the junkmen frequent, as also gave some to persons who traded with them; and made it as generally known as possible. I had it explained to the junkmen if people molested them, to secure them and bring them to me, or the Chief Magistrate, but not to hurt them.\n\nBy Mr Shortrede.—Has any subsequent proclamation upon this subject been issued to the junkmen by you?—No. I may add that it was the habit of boarding junks to ascertain if they have been molested by any body. My Chinese boatmen interpreted for me; I cannot say they were understood, but I should think they were, as the junkmen always seemed pleased.—I do not think I went on board either of these two junks in question.—On my visits to the junks I never heard any complaints.\n\nWILLIAM PEDDER.\n\nColonial Office, Victoria, Hongkong, 28th May, 1846.\n\nSIR, I am directed by His Excellency the Governor to transmit to you 18 Copies of the Chinese Translation of the enclosed Proclamation, and to request your compliance with the instructions therein contained, by occasionally boarding and furnishing each junk anchoring in this harbour with a copy of the same, for the information of the Masters and Crews. A few Copies should be posted up for general information.\n\nI have the honour to be, sir, your obedient servant,\n\nA. F. SHELLEY,\n\nfor the Colonial Secretary.\n\nLieut. W. PEDDER, R.N., Harbour Master.\n\n(True Copy,)\n\nWILLIAM PEDDER, Harbour Master, Marine Magistrate.\n\nHis Excellency the Governor directs, that the Harbour Master board all trading junks on their anchoring in the Harbour, and that a proclamation be issued to the following effect, and communicated to the masters and crews thereof:\n\nThat the port of Victoria is open to all junks and vessels without any anchorage fees or other dues; that they are at liberty to stay in it as long as they choose, and to depart when they like, without any molestation.\n\nThat the crews and passengers are at full liberty to communicate with the shore, and to deal in all articles with any person whom they may choose; but that they are not to buy Opium in a smaller quantity than one chest from any one but the Retail Dealer licensed by the Government. When they buy a chest of Opium, or any larger quantity, they may purchase it from any person.\n\nThat no person except the Harbour Master can board a junk or vessel without the consent of the master, unless he is armed with a warrant and accompanied by a constable.\n\nThat all complaints against persons unlawfully boarding or molesting vessels are to be made to the Harbour Master or the Chief Magistrate; and that the attempts of persons to extort money, or represent themselves falsely as possessing exclusive privileges of trade, and thereby interfere with the freedom of the port, are contrary to His Excellency's orders, and will be visited with severe punishment on being duly represented to the authorities above mentioned.\n\nColonial Office, Victoria.\n\nHongkong, 23d May, 1846.\n\n(28)\n\nJAMES LEGGE sworn,—I am a Doctor of Divinity, and attached to the London Missionary Society.\n\nExamined by Mr Shortrede.—Do you understand Chinese?\n\nCan you read this Proclamation? (producing the one identified by Mr Pedder. Yes.\n\nIs it the same I sent you yesterday?—Yes.\n\nHave you read it over?—Yes, I have done so carefully.\n\nHave you consulted any Chinese who are scholars as to the import of the third Regulation in this Proclamation? I have.\n\nWill you have the goodness to state your interpretation of the third Regulation alluded to, as well as the meaning attached to it by the persons you consulted?—This regulation consists of two parts. The first says the Harbour-master, and persons carrying Warrants, and Policemen, have power to board vessels. The meaning of the second part is not so plain; it was because I could not make it out satisfactorily myself, that I consulted Chinese scholars. Literally, it runs, \"If there be men, and the Captain does not want them to enter the vessel, then he may be able to obstruct and stop them.\" The difficulty lies from the form of the Chinese sentence in determining who are intended by the word \"men.\" I suppose it intended to mean \"other men\"—different from the Harbour-master and others mentioned above; but this is by no means clear, and a Chinese, in my opinion, would rather identify the word \"men\" with the Harbour-master, &c. Seeing the difficulty last night, I consulted a Chinese who at once knows his own and the English languages very well—Tsin-shen, an assistant in our Mission. He took the same view of the intention of the writer as myself, and laughed heartily at the composition. This morning, I consulted two other Chinese as to the meaning. The first is Sew-tsai, (that is, a literary graduate of the first degree,) and was the first in his class when he took the honour at his county examination in the Canton province in 1833. He supposed that the regulation empowered the Captain of the Vessel to resist the Harbour-master, the Warrant-bearers, and the Policemen; at the same time he did not seem to see the connection between the two parts of the regulation. The second person consulted is a respectable Chinese, who can read and write in his own language tolerably well, but makes no pretensions to being a scholar. He interpreted the clause in the same way as the other, and added,—\"So then the Chew-chow (this is the Canton sound of Tib-tchien) men, when they resisted the boats, had right on their side;\" but then he added—\"To be sure, when the boats came in the dark, it was according to regulation to resist them.\" I mention this last remark, because it confirms my own view of the composition of the regulation, that while Chinese naturally interpret it as those two men did, there is still something wanting to make that view of it certain, if it was the intention of the composer to convey that the word \"men\" was to be identified with the Harbour-master, &c. The meaning of this clause is not plain.\n\nJAMES LEGGE.\n\nCHARLES MAY further examined on the 21st,—To the best of my belief I never saw the Chinese notice (the one alluded to by Mr Pedder in his evidence) now exhibited to me, and I am certain I never saw any translation, or any letter of instructions on the subject in accordance with the Colonial Secretary's letter of instructions now read to me. (Here the copy of the letter of 28th May 1846, and instructions, annexed to Mr Pedder's evidence, is read to Mr May.) This is the first intimation I have had of Mr Pedder's instructions as to boarding junks in the Harbour. I know that there is a Police-boat attached to the Registrar General's Office, that daily boards Chinese vessels in the Harbour, under the Registration Ordinance No. 7 of 1846, sec. 2. If anything came to the Registrar General's notice as to any suspicious boats in the Harbour, the Registrar General, as joint Superintendent of Police, would consult with me on it. I did not hear anything about the two junks taken on Sunday evening, until Mr Muir made the charge against them.\n\nCHARLES MAY.\n\n(29)\n\nVERDICT.\n\nAn inquisition indented taken for our Sovereign Lady the Queen, at the House of the Central Police Station situate in Wellington Street, in the Colony of Hongkong, on the sixteenth day of October, in the Year of our Lord 1848, before Norcott D'Esterre Parker, gentleman, the Coroner of our said Lady the Queen for the said Colony, on view of the body of Niu-achiu and U-afon, then and there lying dead, upon the Oath of Andrew Shortrede, Foreman, John Cairns, and John Graham Morison, good and lawful Men of the said Colony, duly chosen, and who, being then and there duly sworn, and charged to inquire for our said lady the Queen, when, how, and by what means the said Niu-achiu and Uafoo came to their deaths, do upon their Oaths say, That U-ufoo and Niu-achiu, Chinese junkmen, came by their deaths between Sunday night and Monday morning the 15th and 16th of October 1848, from gun-shot wounds inflicted by certain seamen and marines unknown, acting under orders of their officers, who were instructed by the Senior Naval Officer on this station to aid the Police in capturing two junks anchored in-shore in the Harbour of Hongkong, the crews of which junks had been alarmed by boats coming alongside after nightfall, and resisted the authorities and others, under the impression that they were thieves; and such resistance as was offered on this occasion appears to the Jury to have been justified by the necessity for trading junks protecting themselves from being boarded by strangers and pretended policemen, as well as by the existing regulations of the Hongkong Government, issued to junks anchoring in the Harbour.\n\nThe Jury have considered it to be their duty to pursue the inquiry into several matters not immediately connected with the deaths of these two men, but the investigation of which may tend to prevent the recurrence of such disasters, and seems of importance to the reputation and prosperity of the Colony.\n\nIn witness whereof, as well the said Coroner as the said Jury have hereunto set their hands and seals this 21st day of October 1848, the day to which the Inquest was finally adjourned.\n\nN.

I know the man now lying dead-his name is Barker Ally; he was a first-class Indian Policeman.\n\n+\n\nIn consequence of the other Inquest not being over, and likely to be for two days more, this inquest is adjourned to Saturday next at 4 o'clock in the afternoon.\n\n(2)\n\n---\n\nSaturday, 21st October.\n\nWILLIAM MORRISON, Colonial Surgeon, sworn,—On the 18th instant I inspected the body of Barker Ally. I found on the back of the left side of the chest a wound inflicted by a spear, which penetrated the cavity of the chest, wounded a large blood vessel; from this there was great effusion of blood into the chest; in addition to which, on the right side of the face there were 3 gun-shot wounds-separate wounds, as if inflicted by slugs-one in the eye, another in the cheek, and another in the chin. I am of opinion that the spear wound was a mortal one, and the gun-shot wound in the eye also mortal. The man bore the appearance of being in the water some time. I do not think the gun-shot wounds were made by carbine balls.\n\nExamined by Mr Anderson. The spear wound was not inflicted after death-the others may have been.\n\nWILLIAM MORRISON.\n\n(3)\n\nSALEM SWORD, I am a Police Constable. On the 18th instant I went with others in consequence of information received, and found the body of Barker Ally floating in the water opposite the Naval Stores here. I had the body brought ashore. I do not know how he came to be in the water.\n\n+\n\n(4)\n\nCARRIM sworn,-I am a Police Constable. Last Sunday evening I was in the Police boat with Barker Ally; we were going alongside a China vessel, when something was fired from the vessel; immediately after the shot Barker Ally fell overboard; he rose a little in the water and fell overboard, he rose once, and went down again; I cannot tell for certain if anything else happened or occurred to Barker Ally. I was on the same thwart with Barker Ally; the boat was very crowded; I was not pulling in the boat; I was armed with a musket; I cannot say whether there was a Chinaman in our boat or not; it was Mr May's boat I was in. We all spoke in Chinese to the junkmen. We only spoke a little; it was Hongkong Chinese, we said \"mow tai, mow ladrone\" to the junkmen; they only said \"t'ai t'ai,\" I did not know what I was going in the Police-boat for; it was extra duty. There was a light in the boat, but cannot say if it was shown or not; I remained afterwards and saw the firing between the junk and the men-of-war's men; I did not hear Mr May say anything to the junkmen. There was a number of stones thrown at the boat. I did not see Barker Ally wounded with a spear.\n\n+\n\n(5)\n\nJOHN LEWIS sworn.-I am a Police Constable. I was in Mr May's boat on Sunday evening; Barker Ally was in the boat; I was in the bow; Barker Ally was next to me aft. We went down to two junks, to go on board and see why they threw stones at the other boat. I think our boat hailed the junks, but cannot swear to it exactly; I heard talking on board the junks, but do not know what was said. It was not very dark or light at this time. There was some wind, for the boat was taking in water at the bow, I think there was a lantern in the boat, but cannot say that I saw it. We came within 30 yards of the junks, when they began throwing stones; they then fired at us, but none of the shots struck us. We then went close to the junk. Barker Ally was next to me; he was standing up. I heard him say \"Oh,\" and he turned round; as he turned round, there was a spear run into him. I think a shot struck him. Barker Ally either fell or was shoved into the water by the spear.\n\n(6)\n\nJOHN LEWIS.\n\nTHOMAS SCOTCHBURN Sworn,-I am a Police Constable. On Sunday evening last I went in Mr May's boat down to meet the other Police-boats. Mr May gave some directions to the boat, and we pulled away to the junks; Mr May's boat went on the larboard side and put her bow on towards the junks. I was sitting near Mr May. I do not recollect anything being said from our boat to the junkmen. I do not know whether there was a lantern in our boat; I think there was. We went close to the junks; the men cried out \"t'ai, t'ai.\" I did not hear anything said in reply from the boat I was in. The junk, I think the small one, we attempted to board. I do not remember any stones being thrown at us; there were two or three guns fired; I saw no balls strike the water from these guns; I should think they were shotted guns-I mean ginjals and smaller firearms. Some of the men in the bows attempted to board and were driven back. I fancy I saw a man in the water, but am not sure; several spears were thrust down in the direction of the boat; I did not hear any of them strike the boat. When the junks fired again, I saw a shot strike the water near the Police-boat.\n\n(7)\n\nT. SCOTCHBURN.\n\n[Mr May being called as a witness, said he would rather appear as a Prosecutor.]\n\nCHARLES MAY sworn,-I am Superintendent of Police. On Sunday evening the 15th about half-past 7, from information received from Mr Deputy Inspector Ryan that men in a Police-boat had been stoned by men from a junk while in the execution of their duty, I ordered two additional boats to be manned, and to act in consort with the first boat with a view of boarding the junks and inquiring into the matter; in the three boats were twenty-six men including officers and rowers, most of whom were armed, and who had fifty rounds of ammunition. On arriving near the junks I gave orders for the three boats to board simultaneously, two on the larboard, one on the starboard. My boat was in advance, and steered to the stern of the outward junk. Mr Caldwell was in a boat about ten feet to the rear of my boat. I heard him hail the junks in Chinese, and heard the apparent answers from the junks. Before arriving alongside there was firing from the junks from large and small arms, which I afterwards knew were ginjalls and matchlocks. The boat in which I was was half the length broadside into the junk. I imagined the boat was kept back by bamboos. I did not see the bamboos, it was very dark. I saw a man in the water; on looking round to save him, I did not see him; at this time I was not aware he was lost from my boat. Finding the other two boats did not get alongside, and seeing a determined resistance made, I ordered the men to back water, and directed the two other boats to keep back out of the range of fire; the two junks continued firing after our leaving. There were two Police lanterns in my boat, the light of one of which I turned on myself. I consider myself empowered by Ordinance No. 14 of 1845 clause 7 with any force I consider necessary to board any vessel by day or night in the Harbour-of course having an object in so doing; the Police-boats are in the habit of visiting boats day and night, formerly with regard to arms, in the day time with regard to the Registration, and generally to carry out the regulations of the Harbour, which devolves upon the Police, and of all incidental cases requiring Police interference. Up to Sunday last I knew of the Registrar General having power to visit boats; but not of any other person. Since then-this morning-I saw a letter of instructions to the Harbour-master directing him to visit all trading junks, and leave a copy of a Proclamation and instructions to Chinese as to their general conduct in the Harbour; which Proclamation, I may observe, is not the law, or in force by any Ordinance. These two junks are, as far as I can ascertain, Fokien boats. I subsequently examined these two junks and saw nothing that would induce me to believe them other than trading junks: one had a cargo of molasses, grain, and medicines; the other was empty. In the two vessels I found three ginjalls and four matchlocks, and evident signs of the ginjalls having been used. I heard some heavy substance thrown overboard from the junks.\n\nExamined by Mr Boura.-Our people returned the fire. The junks fired first.\n\n(8)\n\nCHARLES MAY.\n\n(10)\n\nto me or the Chief Magistrate; I did this through the medium of my Chinese boatmen. To my knowledge I have not boarded the particular junk in question; it would be impossible to distinguish one junk from the other.\n\nWILLIAM PEDDER.\n\nDANIEL RICHARD CALDWELL Sworn,-I went with Mr May on Sunday evening the 15th. I was in another boat astern of Mr May's boat; it was dark, and Mr May's boat pulled up on the outward side of one junk, the junks fired at Mr May's boat; previous to this the junkmen were making a noise as between fear and determination. I called out that we were policemen; we were about 120 feet to leeward of the junks at this time; it was blowing rather fresh, and the wind was against us. I dare say I was 20 or 30 feet from Mr May's boat. The junkmen said, as well as I could make out, that if we were police, they would beat or strike. When Mr May's boat was alongside, I saw several spears pointed into her and something fall overboard. Some one called out that a man was overboard; Mr May then backed down and told us to cease firing. I do not know if anything was said from Mr May's boat before the firing. When we first went, the junk people were quite quiet-no fighting on board. We went to the junks to take the Captain for assaulting some Europeans and resisting a Police-boat that went before. Mr May then went on board the man-of-war for assistance. I hailed the man in a broken dialect; they answered in the Chin-chew dialect. From their answer I think they knew we were police.\n\nExamined by Mr May.—I considered the junks were prepared to resist any attempt made to board them by the police or robbers. There were no junks near these two. It is common, if an attack of robbers is made, for all junks present of the same description to assist in repelling it. There were other junks anchored near these vessels; these two junks were burning papers at the stern and stern; this they would do after escaping from any danger.\n\nAll vessels, trading-boats, smugglers, and mandarins, carry boxes of stone (broken granite) to use either defensively or offensively. These junks had not a greater number of men than usual; I have heard, and believe them to be trading junks.\n\nD. R. CALDWELL.\n\n(11)\n\nVERDICT.\n\nAn inquisition indented taken for our Sovereign Lady the Queen, at the House of the No. 1 Police Station situate in Wellington Street, in the Colony of Hongkong, on the 18th day of October, in the Year of our Lord 1848, before Narcott D'Esterre Parker, gentleman, the Coroner of our said Lady the Queen for the said Colony, on view of the body of Barker Ally, then and there lying dead, upon the Oath of Charles Woollett Bowra, William Hayles Franklyn, and John Anderson, good and lawful Men of the said Colony, duly chosen, and who, being then and there duly sworn, and charged to inquire for our said Lady the Queen, when, how, and by what means the said Barker Ally came to his death, do upon their Oaths say, That Barker Ally was killed on the evening of the 15th instant by a certain person or persons unknown, in a certain Junk, while alongside the said Junk, in a boat under the orders of the Superintendant of Police, Owing to the conflicting orders regarding the boarding of junks in the Harbour, we consider the junkmen acted in this instance in resisting persons boarding them; and that in consequence their acts were excusable in resisting their Junk being boarded. In witness whereof, the said Coroner and the said Jury have hereunto set their hands and seals the 24th day of October 1848, the day to which the said Inquest stood adjourned.\n\nCHAS. W. BOWRA. Foreman.\n\nN. D'E. PARKER,\n\nMICHAEL RYAN sworn,-I am a Deputy Inspector of Police. On Sunday evening the 16th, Mr Muir lodged a complaint that some junkmen threw stones at him and some other gentlemen while in a boat. I asked him if anything previously took place between them; he said, No, that there was not the slightest provocation. The other gentlemen with him (two or three) all said much about the same; this was about half-past 7; the Police-boat under Sergeant M'Lean was going on duty; I sent two additional hands in her, and gave Sergeant M'Lean instructions to go and apprehend the Captain and officers of the junks, but not all the crews. I sent an interpreter with him, and instructed him to let the junkmen know who they were; half an hour after, Police constable Wills returned and informed me stones were thrown at the boat; I told Mr May, who told me to go to No. 1 Station and join M'Lean's boat, and to wait till he came down when we saw him, to pull out towards him. I went and pulled round the junks; they were not fighting on board the junks or making a noise at this time. I waited till Mr May came; when he came his boat was first, and went next the junk; he was within about ten yards of the junk when the junk fired; I cannot say if the gun was shotted or not. I did not hear anything said from Mr May's boat to the junk before the shot was fired; my boatmen were making a great noise. I ordered my men to fire when I heard the first shot from the junk; no one gave me the orders; it is at my discretion according to the nature of the case to fire or not. I saw Mr May's boat going from the junks, and heard a cry of \"Go back.\" When the junk fired there were stones thrown I think. After this Mr May went to the man-of-war. After Mr Muir made his complaint, he was at the door of the Station disturbing.\n\nM. RYAN.\n\nWILLIAM PEDDER sworn,-I am Harbour Master and Marine Magistrate. I hand in a copy of a letter I received from the Colonial Secretary on the 28th May 1846, which is a correct copy of the original. I distributed the Proclamations. After these were gone I distributed others; I gave some of them to the merchants and to the Hong where they frequented. I have been in the habit of boarding junks within the Harbour.\n\nExamined by Mr Boura.-When did you distribute the last Proclamations?—I can't exactly state.\n\nBy Mr Anderson.-Are you aware of any other officer boarding junks?-No; indeed by this Proclamation I thought I was the only person to do so.\n\nBy Mr May. Have you distributed any Proclamations within the last six months to the Chinese Junkmen? I cannot answer that question exactly; I kept a record at first, but do not do so now; there have been at least 40 Proclamations distributed among the junkmen. Did you in the boarding of the junks give any verbal instructions besides the Proclamation? I endeavoured as far as I could to explain the Proclamation, that is, if people molested them to bring them to me or the Chief Magistrate.\n\nCoroner.\n\nW. H. FRANKLYN.\n\nJ. N. ANDERSON.\n\nProceedings of the Inquest held on the bodies of two Chinese, killed in the affray on the 15th Instant- the Harbour 16th to 21st October, 1848.",

Davis to Lord Stanley.\n\n1 May 1845.\n\nI was absent once\n\n2\n\nCORRESPONDENCE RELATIVE TO THE RESIGNATION\n\nUnder the circumstances stated by Mr. Martin, I can have no hesitation in directing you to accept his resignation of his office, should he repeat to you the offer of it; but he must distinctly understand, that it will not be in my power to offer him another situation elsewhere.\n\nIn the event of his resignation, you will offer the appointment of treasurer of Hong Kong to Mr. C. Stewart, who, I understand, discharged the duties of the office under an appointment from Sir H. Pottinger, previously to the arrival in the colony of Mr. Martin.\n\n(No. 49.)\n\nNo. 3. —\n\nI have, &c. (signed) Stanley.\n\nCopy of a DESPATCH from Governor Sir J. F. Davis, Bart., to Lord Stanley.\n\nMy Lord,\n\nVictoria, Hong Kong, 1 May 1845.\n\nOn the receipt of your Lordship's despatch, No. 63, of December 6th, relating to the subject of Mr. Treasurer Martin's proffered resignation, I communicated its purport to that gentleman, from whom the enclosed reply has been received, stating his wish to continue in his present office, as long as his health enables him to discharge its duties.\n\nI need scarcely observe, that repeated recurrences of absence on account of ill health, similar to those which Mr. Martin has already applied for, would produce the most serious embarrassment, from the great difficulty and responsibility that must always attend the providing a substitute.\n\nEncl. in No. 3.\n\nSir,\n\nColonial Treasury, 29 April 1845.\n\nI HAVE the honour to acknowledge the receipt, this day, of your letter, No. 182, requesting to be informed, \"without loss of time, whether I still wish to be relieved from the situation of treasurer of this colony.\"\n\nWhen suffering from severe illness and depression in July last, I wrote to Mr. Under-secretary Stephen, and to the best of my recollection expressed a hope that Lord Stanley would be pleased to relieve me, as I found the climate of this island destructive to my health, and as I did not see there was any useful object gained by retaining me here.\n\nBy the advice of the colonial surgeon I made a voyage to the N. E. coast of China for six weeks, which temporarily recruited me, but the recurrence of warm weather has produced a return of the symptoms of the disease under which I suffered last year, with aggravated indications, threatening the breaking up of my constitution.\n\nI am unwilling, however, from any personal considerations to abandon any duty, as it appears to be the determination of Her Majesty's Government to maintain a distinct Treasury department for the civil establishment of this island; I shall, therefore, so long as my strength lasts, endeavour to the utmost of my ability to fulfil the trust reposed in me.\n\nI have, &c. (signed) R. M. Martin.\n\nThe Hon. F. W. A. Bruce, Colonial Secretary.\n\n(True copy.)\n\n(signed) Frederick W. A. Bruce.\n\nOF MR. M. MARTIN, TREASURER OF HONG KONG.\n\n3\n\nNo. 4.\n\n—\n\n(No. 97.)\n\nCopy of a DESPATCH from Lord Stanley to Governor Sir J. F. Davis, Bart.\n\nSir,\n\nDowning-street, 25 March 1845,\n\nWITH reference to my despatch of the 17th December last, No. 66, transmit to you herewith, the copy of a further communication addressed to my Under-secretary of State by Mr. Montgomery Martin, repeating in very strong terms his arguments against the retention of Hong Kong as a British colony.\n\nI have to request you to report to me your opinion of the accuracy of Mr. Martin's facts, and the inferences which he draws from them; I must also request you to inform Mr. Martin, that it will be impossible for me hereafter to take cognizance of any communications from him, unless sent according to the official regulation, through yourself; and that I regret that it is not in my power to hold out to him the prospect of employment in any other part of Her Majesty's dominions.\n\nI have, &c. (signed) Stanley.\n\nEnclosure in No. 4.\n\nDear Sir,\n\nHong Kong, 20 November 1844.\n\nSINCE I had the honour of addressing you in July, I have been severely afflicted with fever and diarrhea, and nearly at the point of death.\n\nIt has pleased an ever-merciful Providence to spare my life, and I returned to Hong Kong from Chusan and the N. E. coast in the beginning of September, with my health somewhat improved, but my frame very debilitated, and I fear my constitution much impaired, at least for a continued residence in a tropical climate.\n\nThe sickness here this season has been very great, but excepting the numerous deaths among the troops, the mortality has not been so extensive as last year.\n\nThe Governor was unwell before he went to Chusan, in September; the Chief Justice was given over, and is now but slowly recovering; his eldest daughter is dead, and his son is going home an invalid.\n\nThe Colonial Secretary, Mr. Bruce, was almost despaired of, and is still a convalescent on board Her Majesty's ship \"Castor.\"\n\nThe Auditor, Mr. Shelley, has had fever twice, and is now on sick certificate at Macao.\n\nThe Surveyor-general is absent on sick leave; his assistant is nearly as ill as his chief; and the Civil Engineer has had fever twice, and obliged to go to Macao for his health.\n\nI have had two chief clerks since my arrival, one is dead, the other dying, and I was unable to get continuous work for a week out of either.\n\nThe official accounts and official correspondence of all the departments are in arrear, in consequence of the incapability of the clerks to stand the effects of the climate, which sooner or later undermines the most robust frame, and after a severe illness renders a man utterly unfit for a longer residence in Hong Kong, if mental or bodily labour be required.\n\nThe troops have suffered and are still suffering (although cold weather has set in) dreadfully.\n\nThe returns to the Horse Guards, and the letters of the commanding officer, Major-general D'Aguilar, present a melancholy picture; General D'Aguilar reports, that three years' residence in Hong Kong suffice to destroy, by death, an entire European regiment.\n\nFor some time the deaths in Her Majesty's 98th regiment have averaged one man every day; last week six deaths occurred in 24 hours; the strength of the men not in hospital is so reduced, that they are unable to wear a knapsack on parade, and at guard-mounting, the General does not require the troops on the ground to stand with shouldered arms.\n\nI have been in the most sickly countries, but never felt anything equal to the depressing influence of the climate of Hong Kong, whose unhealthiness is proverbial to the Chinese on the adjacent mainland.\n\nWhen Lord Stanley honoured me with the offer of treasurer of this colony, I was unwilling to appear even ungrateful of his kindness, and resolved under any risk to fulfil the duty assigned me, and to the best of my ability to place his Lordship in possession of such information as might be useful to Her Majesty's Government.\n\nWith this object in view I prepared (with perfect disinterestedness) a \"Report on Hong Kong,\" and a \"Report on Chusan,\" which I laid before Mr. Davis, with a respectful request that he would transmit these reports to Lord Stanley.\n\nMr. Davis has transmitted the \"Report on Hong Kong,\" to Lord Stanley, and the \"Report on Chusan,\" to the Earl of Aberdeen.\n\nI pray your early and serious consideration of those reports; I beg your oblivion as to who the writer may be, and that you will view the facts and reasonings therein contained with the comprehensive and far-seeing eye that you possess.\n\nWhatever of public reputation...\n\nPage 426\n\nPage 426\n\nPage 427\n\n...\n\nPage 427\n\nPage 428\n\nPage 428",

I am supported in the views I have taken by Major-General D'Aguilar, by Rear-Admiral Sir Thomas Cochrane, by Brigadier Chesney, by Commissary-general Coffin, by Colonel Campbell, of Her Majesty's 98th, by the chief medical officer, the principal Military Engineer, and by the frank avowal of the French Admiral, and by the United States special Ambassador, that Hong Kong was valueless as a trading emporium, as a military post, or as a colony of any European nation. That Mr. Davis, first opposed my views as to Hong Kong, and that he has thus expressed himself to Lord Stanley; in this he was supported by the Colonial Secretary and Auditor, connected with Government to prevent the recurrence of their desire.\n\nI believe but since Mr. Davis visited Chusan in September, his views of that place have materially changed, and since the recent illness of Mr. Bruce and Mr. Shelley, their sentiments are much altered. Almost every one here has bought building allotments, or own houses, from which they derive a large rental, and they are therefore very adverse to any diminution of Government expenditure, or to any transfer of the seat of Government to Chusan. My letters to Mr. Trevelyan (which I hope he will show you, as the closing post leaves me no time for detail) will indicate the danger we are in of another war with China.\n\nThe war party are now the cabinet at Pekin; Muchangah, the person most opposed to Europeans, is prime minister; and one of his first measures was the degradation of Keying, on account of his having betrayed the interests of the Chinese Empire to \"Barbarians.\" I have shown, I think, how the possession of Chusan would save the fearful calamity of another war.\n\nIf no effort be made to retain Chusan permanently (although I feel confident it can be done without any breach of treaty), then I respectfully submit there can be no necessity for the British Government expending 100,000l. per annum for mere civil purposes on this barren rock, while the utmost amount of revenue to be raised cannot exceed 10,000l. a year. If any great future object is to be attained, then let the present large expenditure of blood and treasure go on, and I, for one, will submit to be a cheerful victim for my country's welfare. But I am prepared to prove there can be no justifiable grounds for spending here nearly half a million sterling from the resources of the British Exchequer, and if I do not prove this, let the loss of my official position in Her Majesty's service be the penalty.\n\nWith the view of placing before Lord Stanley the information I have obtained, I respectfully solicit from his Lordship leave of absence to proceed overland to England, the leave not to exceed six months, and the journey to be defrayed at my own cost. Should I not demonstrate to his Lordship's complete satisfaction, that I was perfectly justified in soliciting this leave, let me be dismissed from Her Majesty's service. My duties may be performed by the Commissariat during my absence, as they were before my arrival, or Mr. Mercer, the Governor's private secretary, shall receive half my salary as locum tenens.\n\nI am aware of the labour, risk, expense, and above all, the danger I incur of Lord Stanley's displeasure; but confiding in the justness of my views, I will gladly submit to any penalty which may be the forfeiture of my failure. It will add to the obligations you have conferred on me, if the answer to this request be transmitted by the ensuing mail which leaves England for China after your receipt of this letter. General D'Aguilar, and the Attorney-general, are favourable to my being permitted leave of absence for six months, to lay my statements before Lord Stanley; but General D'Aguilar is of opinion that Mr. Davis would not grant me the leave I seek, as I would be enabled then by viva voce, to substantiate my own views; for this reason, I have not applied to Mr. Davis, with whom, however, I am on the most friendly terms.\n\nThe treaty provides for the cession of Chusan to the Chinese Government on 25 December 1845; there is therefore no time to be lost on the subject. But if I receive an answer to this letter in April or in May, I would be able to reach England in time to allow of instructions being sent to Mr. Davis, not to restore Chusan until the final decision of Her Majesty's Government be known.\n\nI have little doubt that Mr. Davis will become convinced that Chusan alone can be the depository of the British power in China.\n\nShould Lord Stanley not be pleased to comply with my request for six months' leave of absence, and that Chusan be restored to the Chinese, then there can be no necessity for retaining a treasurer here, and incurring a charge of several thousand a year, when the whole of my duties may be transferred to the Commissariat Department. The abolition of my office may with public advantage take place.\n\nI say this in perfect sincerity, as I have never permitted my own interests to interfere with what might be conducive to the advantage of the State. I shall therefore have to rely on Lord Stanley's goodness, and entreat his transfer of me to some other position. Here, as a mere cashier of the sums required by the Colonial and Consular services, I could be of no use to Her Majesty's Government, and I cannot conscientiously receive 1,200l. per annum, when I am incapacitated by my position from serving the Crown, or of doing aught which may be creditable to myself.\n\nI remain, &c. (signed) R. M. Martin.\n\nOF MR. M. MARTIN, TREASURER OF HONG KONG.\n\n(No. 44.)\n\nNo. 5.\n\nEXTRACT of a DESPATCH from Governor Sir J. F. Davis, Bart., to Lord Stanley; dated Victoria, Hong Kong, 25 April 1845.\n\nNo. 5.\n\nIN despatch No. 66, of the 17th December, your Lordship desires me to furnish a report as to the points on which I dissent from the views stated by Mr. Martin, in a paper of observations which I forwarded at that gentleman's request.\n\nBy His objections to Hong Kong are founded on an apprehension of its peculiar unhealthiness, the improbability of raising a local revenue, and its inutility as a Colony, or as an entrepôt for trade; I shall endeavour to show that his statements were exaggerated and partial, and I am still of opinion that Mr. Martin wrote under a feeling of strong prejudice, founded in apprehensions for his personal health, regarding which he is remarkably sensitive, and on account of which he has had more leave of absence than any individual in the service. Your Lordship will have observed in that gentleman's paper, that he suggests the expediency of his being provided for in some other colony.\n\n(No. 85.)\n\nNo. 6.\n\nCOPY of a DESPATCH from Governor Sir J. F. Davis, Bart., to Lord Stanley.\n\nVictoria, Hong Kong, 24 June 1845.\n\nMy Lord,\n\nWITH reference to your Lordship's despatch, No. 97, of March 25th, forwarding copy of a letter from Mr. Martin to the Under-secretary of State; I beg to observe, that my despatch No. 44, of April 25th, will have anticipated much that I might have said in answer to that letter, although the nature of some of its statements requires a specific notice.\n\nMr. Martin commences with the climate, observing, however, that \"the mortality has not been so extensive as last year.\" Among the victims to sickness before he wrote, he enumerates myself, whom your Lordship may deem competent to deny the fact; and to add, that I never for a single day was unequal to my work.\n\nIt is singular, that of a list of other official persons whom he enumerates as labouring under attacks that render persons \"utterly unfit for longer residence, if mental or bodily labour be required,\" the whole number are now at their duties. These are, the Chief Justice, the Colonial Secretary, the Auditor, the Surveyor general, and the Clerk of the Works.\n\nMr. Martin, not being able to obtain a sick certificate, addressed to me the enclosed application for leave of absence on other grounds, which by my answer also enclosed, I informed him, did not justify the abandonment of his duties without leave from home.\n\nThe Colonial Regulations are quite clear on this point, as your Lordship is aware.\n\nMr. Martin has altogether misunderstood his position, as I have endeavoured to show him in my reply to his letter enclosed herewith. A steady adherence to his own duties as Treasurer would have prevented that restlessness which has kept him moving perpetually between this and one or other of the points on the coast, with no other result than the accumulation of arrears in his work, and the creation of such crude theories as these scampering visits of a few days could afford.\n\nI have before observed to your Lordship, that a comparison between Chusan and Hong Kong is mere loss of time, unless the former place were still at our disposal. Mr. Martin has not yet explained how it could be retained without a breach of treaty, after all the Chinese indemnity shall have been received.\n\nIt would have been well had Mr. Martin taken less liberty with others' opinions as the alleged supporters of his own. He even states that my views had changed after a visit to Chusan, a place with which I was perfectly well acquainted before. He very improperly observes, that the sentiments of Messrs. Bruce and Shelley on a public question had been altered by \"a recent illness;\"\n\nPage 743\n\nNo. 5.",

But it is plain that such is not your own case, as among the personal sacrifices which you state you are ready to make for the public benefit, is the probable injury to your health, in quitting Hong Kong at the commencement of the hot season, to proceed to England.\n\nLord Stanley having appointed you to the responsible office of Colonial Treasurer, the substitution without absolute necessity, of any other person in your place, is an act of responsibility on his own part which the Governor does not feel justified in incurring.\n\nGiving you full credit for all that you claim for yourself in the letter under reply, the Governor is bound to state that he has not received the slightest intimation from Her Majesty's Government (which alone can authorize his acts) concerning your employment in the ways which you mention. Every paper, however, that you thought fit to offer has been forwarded home to the Colonial and Foreign Offices, and the same mode of communicating your sentiments, in the fullest manner in writing, is always open to you. At each of the five consulates, a gentleman bearing Her Majesty's commission as Consul, has been placed for the express purpose of supplying the fullest and most careful information, and it is the duty of the Governor, as Plenipotentiary and Chief Superintendent, to report this to Her Majesty's Government, with a previous experience of Chinese diplomacy and commerce not inferior to your own.\n\nUntil, therefore, a stronger case of necessity can be made out than the one conveyed in your letter, the Governor, with the unanimous concurrence of the Executive Council, regrets his inability to sustain that degree of responsibility which must always attach to his acts where they deviate materially from the plain course indicated by his instructions and the usages of the service.\n\n9\n\nFeeling strongly on these points as of high national importance, and believing that, however humble my rank in Her Majesty's service, it is my bounden duty to my Sovereign to bring them under the early and serious consideration of Her Majesty's Ministers, and deeming that my personal attendance is indispensable to answer questions on the spot, and to explain various points which, even if time permitted, could not be done by a lengthened and tedious correspondence, I have resolved to undergo the responsibility of proceeding to England, to bring the whole question under the immediate attention of Her Majesty's Government; and I cannot help entertaining a confident hope, that when the magnitude and pressing exigency of the case is fully seen and understood, and the motives in which my conduct has originated been explained, I may rely on the justice and liberality of Lord Stanley and Her Majesty's Ministers.\n\nMy accounts are made up, and the monies under my charge ready to be transferred, on the half year ending 30th instant, to whomsoever his Excellency may be pleased to direct to officiate as Treasurer.\n\nThe Honourable F. W. A. Bruce, Colonial Secretary.\n\nEnclosure 4, in No. 6.\n\nI have, &c. (signed) R. M. Martin.\n\n428\n\nEncl. 3. in No. 6.\n\nR. M. Martin, Esq., Colonial Treasurer, &c. &c.\n\nI have, &c. (signed) Frederick W. A. Bruce, Colonial Secretary.\n\nEnclosure 3, in No. 6.\n\nColonial Treasury, Hong Kong, 24 June 1845.\n\nI HAVE the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 19th instant, conveying to me the refusal of his Excellency the Governor to my application for six months' leave of absence, on the following grounds-\n\n1. \"That the regulations by which the Governor is bound, as to leave of absence, are clear and peremptory, confining such leave to cases of serious indisposition requiring change of climate.\"\n\n2. That \"his Excellency does not feel justified in incurring an act of responsibility by the substitution of another person in my place,\" &c.\n\n3. That \"by granting the leave sought, his Excellency would materially deviate from the usages of the service.\"\n\nIn reply, I beg to observe that, 1st. the words of the Regulations (c. iv. p. 25) are \"leave of absence should be confined as much as possible to cases of serious indisposition requiring change of climate.\" The regulations then proceed to define when leave of absence should be granted on private affairs. A fortiori, leave may be granted on public affairs.\n\n2d. By granting the leave sought, no responsibility whatever would be incurred by his Excellency, as my sureties would stand good during my absence, as well as those of my locum tenens.\n\n3d. By the usages of the service, colonial officers frequently obtain leave of absence to proceed to England, irrespective of sickness.\n\nBut even were the regulations clear and peremptory against leave of absence being granted except in cases of imminently fatal illness, I venture to think that the novel and peculiar position of Great Britain in China, the nature and prospects of this island as a new settlement, and the many years I have devoted to the study and personal examination of other colonies, and to an investigation of the commercial and financial relations of England, might have rendered me an exception to the general rule, particularly as my temporary absence could be no detriment to the public service, and as I offered to take upon myself all the responsibility of my proceedings.\n\nI put aside the question of my health (although it has been materially shaken by my residence and mental labours here). Life or death is of little moment compared with the great interests which England has at stake in China. These interests are too vast and pressing to be affected by individual considerations, or by the ordinary usages of the service, which are applicable to every day occurrences.\n\nWhether I am right or wrong, I have endeavoured to demonstrate in my reports and minutes, that our affairs in China require immediate and special reconsideration and revision; that time and experience have made manifest several mistakes, which if not rectified previous to the evacuation of Chusan, in February or March next, will be a subject of deep regret and serious injury; and that our policy and proceedings are not productive of the extended beneficial results which the British nation has a right to expect in China, and not commensurate with the large expenditure incurred on this coast.\n\nESTIMATED REVENUE OF THE COLONY OF Hong Kong, from 1st April 1845 to 1st April 1846.\n\n  \n    From June 1841\n    Crown Rents.\n    Sold to June 1844\n    Sales in July 1844\n  \n  \n    Will not be paid\n    £. 2,323\n    550\n    \n  \n  \n    Sales in December 1844 to Chinese\n    290\n    \n    \n  \n  \n    Ditto to Europeans\n    $4,130\n    \n    \n  \n  \n    in the\n    Will not be paid\n    939\n    $3,191\n  \n  \n    2.

Davis to Lord Stanley. 8 July 1845.\n\n8 July, No. 1.\n\n8 July, No. 2.\n\nEncl. 1, in No. 7.\n\nCORRESPONDENCE RELATIVE TO THE RESIGNATION\n\n(No. 93.)\n\nNo. 7.\n\nCOPY of a DESPATCH from Governor Sir J. F. Davis, Bart. to Lord Stanley.\n\nMy Lord,\n\nVictoria, Hong Kong, 8 July 1845.\n\nI HAVE the honour to enclose, for your Lordship's information, a copy of Mr. Martin's letter tendering his resignation of the office of Treasurer; which resignation I have accepted according to your Lordship's authority before conveyed to me.\n\nIn my reply, also enclosed, I have informed Mr. Martin that, although I could not sanction his proceeding home without a sick certificate, nor recognize those pleas which he had advanced for leave of absence on points which had no concern whatever with his official duties, I was at liberty to accept his resignation, by which he quits his office on his own responsibility.\n\nMr. Martin has been directed to deliver the cash in his charge to a Committee of Survey, composed of the Auditor, Mr. Mercer and Mr. D'Almada. There is no person to whom I can entrust the office of Treasurer, thus vacated, except Mr. Mercer, who will hold it pending Mr. Stewart's arrival, or your Lordship's further commands, having produced abundant security as I before had the honour to report. Mr. Martin proceeds home immediately overland.\n\nI have, &c. (signed) J. F. Davis.\n\nP. S.-I beg to draw your Lordship's attention to the concluding paragraph of my reply to Mr. Martin, in which I inform that gentleman that I cannot, without authority from home, comply with his request to be furnished with copies of voluminous public documents, and I accordingly await your Lordship's instructions for my guidance on this and other similar occasions.\n\nJ. F. D.\n\nEnclosure 1, in No. 7.\n\nSir,\n\nColonial Treasury, Hong Kong, 8 July 1845.\n\nTHE decision of his Excellency the Governor on my letters of 18th and 24th ultimo, refusing me leave of absence for six months on public business, and with a view to what I deem the public good, compels me most reluctantly to adopt the only alternative of requesting his Excellency to receive my resignation as Her Majesty's Treasurer for the Colonial and Diplomatic services in China, until I can bring the subject, through the Secretary of State for the Colonies, under the consideration of my Sovereign, who was graciously pleased to appoint me to the important office and trust which I have now the honour to place in the hands of his Excellency.\n\nMy quarterly accounts are made up to the 30th of June 1845, declared before a magistrate, and passed by the auditor.\n\nI beg that a Board may be appointed to receive from me the monies under my charge, and that his Excellency will state to whom I am to transfer the accounts and books of my department, and the vouchers of payments made by me since 30th day of June last.\n\nIn order that I may be enabled to pass my accounts in England, and to receive for myself and for my sureties the Exchequer quietus, I have the honour to request that a copy of Day Cash Book be furnished me from this office.\n\nThe Honourable F. W. A. Bruce,\n\nSir,\n\nColonial Secretary.\n\nEnclosure 2, in No. 7.\n\nI have, &c.\n\n(signed) R. M. Martin.\n\nColonial Office, Victoria, Hong Kong, 8 July 1845.\n\nIn reply to your letter, tendering your resignation of the appointment of Treasurer, I am directed by his Excellency the Governor to state, that although he could not authorize your absence, without a sick certificate, from your duties (a step which would have rendered himself responsible for their performance), his Excellency has been duly empowered by Lord Stanley to accept your resignation, if tendered, (as you have already been informed,) and he accepts it accordingly.\n\nThe only person at present in the colony whom his Excellency can appoint to the office you have thus vacated is Mr. Mercer. That gentleman, together with the Auditor and Mr. D'Almada, will receive from you the monies under your charge, and to Mr. Mercer you will transfer the Colonial Accounts, with the vouchers for payments made by you since June 30th.\n\nYou must be aware that the few hours that will elapse previous to your embarkation in the \"Lanrick\" would, under any circumstances, be insufficient for transcribing the voluminous book of which you request a copy; but as his Excellency entertains doubts as to its being within the limits of his discretion to allow copies of public documents to be withdrawn by any officer on his departure, he will refer your request for Lord Stanley's decision by the present despatch.\n\n(No. 95.)\n\nI have, &c.\n\n(signed) A. E. Shelley, Acting Colonial Secretary.\n\n(True copy.) A. E. Shelley, Acting Colonial Secretary.\n\nNo. 8.\n\nCOPY of a DESPATCH from Governor Sir J. F. Davis, Bart. to Lord Stanley.\n\nMy Lord,\n\nVictoria, Hong Kong, 9 July 1845.\n\nI AM sorry to trouble your Lordship with another despatch relating to Mr. Martin, but that gentleman, after his embarkation yesterday, caused to be conveyed to me this morning the enclosed copy of a letter to your Lordship, in breach (as it appears to myself) of the following section of the Colonial Regulations (page 49) :-\n\n\"The practice which has in some instances been adopted of addressing memorials direct to this office, and only sending copies of them to the Governor on the eve of the departure of the vessel which is to convey them, will not be recognized as a proper course of communication, and must not be repeated.\"\n\nThe sub-enclosures in Mr. Martin's letter (which has no date of the month, and being sent from the ship is headed \"Colonial Treasury,\") have already been forwarded with my previous correspondence (Nos. 85 and 93) in relation to that gentleman, and your Lordship may, therefore, not wish them to be repeated in the duplicate of this despatch, as they would, in fact, constitute quadruplicate copies.\n\nI need not occupy your Lordship's time by dwelling on the enclosed letter of Mr. Martin, as it merely repeats his previous statements as to the necessity of retaining Chusan, &c. His assertion as to having \"recently ascertained that Governor Davis is proposing for your Lordship's sanction a further expenditure of half a million of dollars,\" is disproved by a simple reference to my despatch No. 79, of 14th June, where the following is the total amount proposed :-\n\n  \n    Schedule 1\n    31,312\n  \n  \n    Schedule 2\n    30,937\n  \n  \n    \n    £. 62,249\n  \n\nI could not grant Mr. Martin leave of absence without incurring an uncalled-for degree of responsibility, as he had been only a year in the colony, enjoyed such health as precluded the possibility of obtaining a medical certificate, and had been appointed by your Lordship to an office involving pecuniary liabilities. He has had more leave of absence by far than any other member of the colony, not one of his numerous applications to proceed to the north, to Canton, &c., having been denied. His allusions, therefore, to harsh treatment are hardly justified.\n\nI need not observe, that his resignation of office and his departure to England are the most perfect acts of free will, and that the public reasons which he assigns for quitting his post without leave, as far as they are intelligible, have no concern whatever with his proper duties as Treasurer.\n\nI have, &c. (signed) J. F. Davis.",

Montgomery Martin, Esq., to Lord Stanley.\n\nMy Lord,\n\nColonial Treasury, Hong Kong, 8 July 1845.\n\nI HAVE the honour to solicit your Lordship's perusal of the enclosed correspondence with Governor Davis, and a consideration of the following statement.\n\nSoon after my arrival in this Island I observed that there had been a large and unnecessary expenditure of the public money here, which expenditure had been greatly facilitated by the power of arresting portions of the Chinese Indemnity Money, in its transit to the Home Exchequer.\n\nPerceiving that this disbursement was daily augmenting, I felt it to be my duty, even at the hazard of losing what I much covet—the confidence and support of your Lordship—to state openly my opinions to my superiors, and to substantiate them by facts relative to the true nature and value of Hong Kong, and to its necessary concomitant, the British position and prospects in China.\n\nThe reports, minutes and papers, written in support of these opinions, were transmitted either to your Lordship, to the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, or to the Lords of the Treasury; and, as I understood, they were producing some effect at home, by suggesting various inquiries, and by causing a check to be put upon the expenditure here; I resolved, although my health and constitution have been much impaired by this climate, to await the result of those inquiries, and the correction of errors which time and circumstances generally induce.\n\nHaving, however, recently ascertained that Governor Davis is proposing for your Lordship's sanction a further expenditure of half a million dollars for civil works here, irrespective of the unnecessary extent of outlay incurred and projected in the Military and Ordnance Departments, believing that Her Majesty's Government must be under great misapprehension relative to the value of Hong Kong, and to the present state of our affairs in China, and understanding that it is intended to evacuate Chusan in February or March next, without any attempt or negotiation for the retention of that most valuable and important island (worthy of being an Anglo-Chinese colony), I applied to Governor Davis for six months' leave of absence on public grounds in order that I might bring the whole subject under a complete and unbiassed investigation, and thus, if possible, timely correct what are deemed primary errors of national importance. That the question might be placed above personal considerations, I offered to give up all my salary, to defray my own expenses to England; to continue my bonds of pecuniary security to the Crown, and to forfeit my commission in Her Majesty's service, should my application for leave of absence be disapproved of at home. The Governor refused the leave sought on the plea that I was not dying, and requiring change of climate, a decision as shown in the accompanying correspondence, contrary to the obvious meaning of the Government Instructions (ch. 4, p. 25), and which, if thus interpreted, would make every colonial servant of the Crown an exile for life, or subject to the caprice, favouritism or vindictiveness of any colonial governor.\n\nThe yet unsettled state of the British affairs in China; the very short time intervening for their imperatively required better arrangement, previous to the contemplated evacuation of Chusan, when our expenditure of every description ought to undergo the most careful revision and retrenchment; the desire to prevent an intended expenditure of half a million dollars for civil works, and other unnecessary projected outlays; a conscientious belief, that as a sworn servant of the Crown, I am bound to lay all the information I have collected before Her Majesty's Ministers, and that I can only effectually do so, without further loss of time in person, have compelled me to adopt the only alternative in my power; namely, to place in the hands of Governor Davis my conditional resignation as Her Majesty's Treasurer for the Colonial and Diplomatic service in China, in order that I may at once bring the whole matter under the full and fair consideration of your Lordship, and be on the spot in case of necessity for reference.\n\nI will not advert to myself personally, to any treatment which I have experienced, or to any misinterpretation or misrepresentation of motives and conduct; these are points of comparatively little moment.\n\nBut I do confidently hope that the newness and vast importance of our position in China, the still partial blending of colonial, diplomatic and commercial affairs here, the possible imperfections of individual judgment arising from various interests and from natural causes, and the advantages consequently derivable to the state from a minute examination and exposition of our affairs in the most distant, most complex, and yet least understood settlement and relations of the British Crown, may induce your Lordship to grant, under the peculiar circumstances of the case, and on public grounds, a court of inquiry previous to the acceptance by my Sovereign of the responsible commission with which Her Majesty was graciously pleased to invest me.\n\nI have, &c.\n\n(signed) Robert M.

Montgomery Martin, Esq.\n\nSir,\n\nDowning-street, 31 January 1846.\n\nI HAVE laid before Mr. Secretary Gladstone your letter to me of the 13th instant, in which you state that \"Lord Stanley informed you by letter, that in compliance with your request he had not formally accepted your resignation,\" and you add, that \"on the 28th November last his Lordship observed, that he could not discuss with you the statements you transmitted on Hong Kong, as it had been resolved to make them a subject for the deliberation of the Cabinet.\"\n\nOn perusing this letter, Mr. Gladstone directed me to write to Lieutenant-colonel Wilbraham, who had acted as Lord Stanley's Private Secretary, to ascertain whether it was in his power to throw any light on the contradiction between the statements I have thus quoted, and the documents remaining in this office in Lord Stanley's hand-writing.\n\nOn the 27th instant, Colonel Wilbraham addressed to me his answer to that inquiry in a letter of that date, a copy of which, by Mr. Gladstone's direction, I enclose for your information. Mr. Gladstone desires me to add, that he must consider this statement from Colonel Wilbraham as closing the discussion respecting the resignation of your office as Treasurer of Hong Kong; and that he must regard that resignation as having been finally, and therefore irrevocably accepted by Lord Stanley.\n\nI have, &c. (signed) Jas. Stephen.\n\nNo. 12. James Stephen, Esq. to R. M. Martin, Esq.\n\n31 January 1846.\n\n27 January 1846.\n\nNo. 11.\n\nR. Montgomery Martin, Esq., to Mr. Secretary Gladstone.\n\n13 January 1846.\n\nCopy of a LETTER from R. Montgomery Martin, Esq. to Mr. Secretary Gladstone.\n\nSir,\n\nPolloe, near Glasgow, 13 January 1846.\n\nIn reply to Mr. Under-secretary Stephen's letter of 7th instant, I beg to refer to my correspondence with Governor Davis of 18th and 24th June and 8th July last, by which it will be seen that the tendered resignation of the office of Treasurer of Hong Kong was constrained, conditional and dependent on the information I laid before Her Majesty's Government being deemed insufficient to justify my coming to England.\n\nIn my letter to Lord Stanley from Hong Kong of 8th July last, I asked his Lordship to suspend decision until he had personally heard my statements, and to grant an inquiry previous to accepting my resignation.\n\nLord Stanley informed me by letter, that \"in compliance with my request, he had not formally accepted my resignation,\" and on 28th November last his Lordship observed, that he could not discuss with me the statements I transmitted on Hong Kong, as it had been resolved to make them a subject for the deliberation of the cabinet.\n\nUnder these circumstances, it is submitted, that I was fully justified in coming to England in July last to make what have been deemed important representations to Lord Stanley, Lord Aberdeen, Mr. Goulburn and the Lords of the Treasury, previous to the treaty of Nankin settled in January or February 1846; and it is consequently respectfully suggested, that I do not deserve to forfeit my commission, and be deprived of employment in Her Majesty's service, after having usefully, zealously and at no inconsiderable hazard and sacrifices, done my duty as a faithful servant of the Crown in China, whither I am again prepared to proceed when ordered.\n\nRelying on your equitable consideration, and with the request that as my official statements have been made the subject of cabinet discussion, so also will be this letter, and my removal or otherwise from Her Majesty's Service.\n\nI have, &c. (signed) R. M. Martin.\n\nMy dear Sir,\n\nEnclosure in No. 12.\n\n55, Portland-place, 27 January 1846.\n\nIn answer to your letter of the 21st instant on the subject of Mr. Montgomery Martin's resignation of the treasurership of Hong Kong, I beg to say, that the only communication with him that I am aware of, was a letter which I wrote to him from Lancashire on the 13th November last, by desire of Lord Stanley, and which I presume he refers to in the extract of his letter of the 13th January last, which you have sent me, where he states that \"Lord Stanley informed me by letter,\" that \"in compliance with my request, he had not formally accepted my resignation.\"\n\nThe words of my letter of November 13th, after saying that Lord Stanley would on his return to town give him the interview he requested, were \"Colonel Wilbraham is desired by Lord Stanley to add, that in compliance with Mr. Martin's wishes, he has delayed the formal acceptance of his resignation of the Treasurership of Hong Kong, though he considers the resignation as final.\n\nWith reference to Mr. Martin's statement, that at the subsequent interview Lord Stanley \"observed, that he could not discuss with (him) the statements (he) transmitted on Hong Kong, as it had been resolved to make them a subject for the deliberation of the Cabinet;\" I am desired by Lord Stanley to say, that Mr. Martin must have greatly misunderstood him, as his expression to Mr. Martin was, that the matters on which Mr. Martin had written to him, such as the evacuation of Chusan, &c., were such as he could not discuss with Mr. Martin, they being properly subjects for the consideration of the Cabinet; an expression which bears a very different meaning from the construction which Mr. Martin appears to have put upon it.\n\nLord Stanley has further desired me to observe, that at the interview, Mr. Martin did not say a word to him about the confirmation or otherwise of his resignation; but expressed himself to the effect that he knew he had committed faults, and must bear the penalty of them.\n\nJas. Stephen, Esq.\n\n&c. &c. &c.\n\nI remain, &c. (signed)\n\nE. B. Wilbraham.\n\nEncl. in No. 12.\n\n-No. 12.-\n\n743-\n\nB 4\n\nNo. 13.-",

These were all transmitted officially to Governor Davis, with accompanying letters, and were forwarded by the Governor to Her Majesty's Ministers. \n\nAs I have been kept nearly three months in suspense in England, an early reply will add to the obligations conferred on, Sir, \n\n- No. 14. \n\nYours, &c. \n\n(signed) \n\nR.

Montgomery Martin, Esq, to James Stephen, Esq. \n\nSir, \n\n29, Bloomsbury-square, 3 February 1846. \n\nI AM favoured with your letter of 31st January, enclosing copy of a letter from the Hon. Lieut.-colonel Wilbraham, and informing me that Mr. Gladstone considers the correspondence closed as regards my resignation of the Treasurership of Hong Kong. \n\nI am equally unwilling to prolong this correspondence, and regret having caused so much already; but I cannot, in justice to myself, avoid the reply I now make, without, however, seeking from Mr. Gladstone any alteration of the decision at which he has arrived. \n\n1st. I never said a word to Lord Stanley respecting Chusan in my interview of 28th November; I referred solely to Hong Kong, which was in his Lordship's department, and on which I sent that morning a memorandum offering to prove in detail that Hong Kong could never be a colony, a commercial emporium, a military post, or a political station. Lord Stanley, holding that memorandum in his hand, said (as I understood him) \"I cannot discuss this with you, as it has been resolved to make your statements a subject for the consideration of the Cabinet.\" On hearing this I remarked, \"then I have nothing more to say.\" \n\n2d. Lord Stanley misapprehended me, if he supposes I said, \"I knew I had committed faults, and must bear the penalty of them.\" \n\nThe words I used were, \"I fear I have incurred your displeasure, Lord Stanley, in coming to England, but I feel assured that had your Lordship been placed in my situation, and seen the waste of public money, and our impolicy in China, you would have acted as I have done. If I am to pay a penalty for this fault, and make a sacrifice which I cannot afford, let me at least have the satisfaction of knowing that the sacrifice will produce some good to the country.\" \n\nI declare on my honour that these were as nearly as possible the words used; and I certainly did think that, if my views respecting the British position and prospects in China were worthy the consideration of the Cabinet either in part or in the whole, that I would not be required to make the (to me) great sacrifice of forfeiting my employment in Her Majesty's service. \n\nThe best proof I can give of a conviction that I do not deserve the penalty inflicted is, by reiterating my earnest solicitation that Mr. Gladstone will permit me to have my Reports, &c. laid before Parliament, \n\nI cannot conclude without expressing my misfortune at having misunderstood Lord Stanley, and of being misapprehended by his Lordship. May I beg you will do me the favour of placing this explanatory letter before Mr. Gladstone, who I fervently hope will not add to my penalty, by denying me the means of justifying myself before the public. \n\nI have, &c.

M. Martin, Esq. been laid before him. In answer to your inquiry whether Mr. Gladstone will 6 February 1846. sanction there being laid before Parliament your Report on Hong Kong of the 24th July 1844, your Report on Chusan of the 30th August 1844, and your Minute on the British Position and Prospects in China of the 19th April 1845, I am directed to inform you, that Mr. Gladstone cannot ascribe any official character to any report made by you, excepting only as far as such reports related to the discharge of the duties of your office as Treasurer of Hong Kong, in which capacity alone you were employed by Her Majesty's Government. Mr. Gladstone thinks that he should establish a precedent full of inconvenience, if he concurred in the production to Parliament, and the printing, at the public expense, of reports or minutes drawn up by you on subjects with which you had no official concern, and on which you were not invited by Her Majesty's Government to enter. For these reasons, any motion for the production of those papers to either Houses of Parliament would be resisted by the Ministers of the Crown. \n\nSir, \n\n-No. 16.- \n\nI have, &c. (signed) Lyttelton, \n\nCOPY of a LETTER from R. Montgomery Martin, Esq. to S. H. Northcote, Esq. \n\n29, Bloomsbury-square, 2 March 1846. \n\nNo. 16. In reply to your communication of 27th February (just received), stating R. M. Martin, Esq., that Mr. Gladstone would wish me to reserve any request for an interview to S. H. Northcote, until after I had placed before him \"a statement of my conduct in China Esq and present circumstances, irrespective of the general discussion which I thought 2 March 1846. \n\nI am, \n\nit my duty to raise with respect to Hong Kong,\" I beg to forward herewith an \"Abstract of my proceedings in China,\" which I confidently hope will, on a detailed examination, prove that I was a faithful and diligent servant of the Crown, and an honest steward of the important trust reposed in me. therefore, anxious to have the most searching scrutiny into my conduct in every point of view, public and private; and this I earnestly solicited from Lord Stanley previous to his acceptance of my resignation, in a letter of 8th July last, which I requested Governor Davis to forward to his Lordship. \n\nWith reference to the second point-my\" present circumstances or position, I beg to state, that it will be seen in my correspondence with Governor Davis in June and July last, that the tendered resignation of my office was in obedience to what I conscientiously believed to be an urgent sense of public duty; that the resignation was constrained, because Governor Davis refused me six months' furlough (which it was in his power to grant) although I offered to resign all salary, and yet preserve my heavy securities to the Queen; and that my resignation was conditional, and dependent on my conduct being disapproved in England. \n\nThe acceptance of a resignation thus compulsorily wrung from me without any inquiry or investigation, may be deemed tantamount to a declaration that my conduct, and the motives in which it originated, did not justify the step which I felt compelled to take. I am, therefore, subjected to a severe pecuniary loss, which I cannot afford, after an untiring devotion of 20 years in laborious and expensive exertions for the national weal (as shown in the accompanying memorandum); and, what is of still greater consequence to me, my conduct in China is rendered questionable. \n\nI respectfully entreat Mr. Gladstone to permit a committee of three gentlemen to examine the whole of my proceedings in China, to scrutinize, so far as human beings can do, the originating motives for my conduct, and to report \n\n743- \n\nC \n\nwhether \n\nPage 12.\n\nPage 12.\n\nPage 12.",

The mere mechanical expenditure on these works for printing, paper, engravings, &c., has been upwards of 20,000l. sterling.\n\nTo defray these heavy charges, to pay assistants, and to provide for personal expenses during 20 years' unremitting toil, and costly labour and travel, not the slightest aid has been furnished by Government; but relying solely on his own energies, and out of his own limited resources, Mr. Martin has prepared the first complete \"History of the British Colonies,\" and by his unceasing exertions, has awakened an interest in the public mind for our trans-marine possessions, whose extent and condition were heretofore imperfectly known, and their intrinsic value inadequately appreciated.\n\nIn addition to the preceding mentioned labours, Mr. Martin has zealously contributed to promote various useful objects. The \"Colonial Society\" of London was consequent on his works, and he has endeavoured to advance its laudable objects. The \"Central Agricultural Society\" by which the landed interest was united for the protection and encouragement of agriculture, at a period when it was threatened with destruction (1835-36), had its origin mainly in his exertions, and for two years he acted gratuitously as one of its honorary secretaries. He also co-operated as honorary secretary with the \"Society for the Protection of Domestic Industry,\" which was superintended by a committee of 21 Members of Parliament, whereof E. S. Cayley, M.P. was chairman, and which had for its leading object the union of all classes engaged in land, manufactures and trade.\n\nIn order that he might obtain an accurate view of the working of our banking system, Mr. Martin made a tour throughout England and Scotland, to the extent of 2,500 miles, during which he visited nearly every public and private bank in the kingdom; and for 12 months he officiated as honorary secretary to the \"Commercial Bank of London.\" The \"Bank of British North America\" was planned, and its preliminary proceedings were organized.\n\n743.\n\nC 2",

The \"Bank of Asia,\" for conducting exchange operations between England, India and China, was framed in its plan and principles by Mr. Martin, and its organization was begun and completed by him; 8,000 shares, of the value of 100l. each, were subscribed for in a few days on its first announcement in London, and 6,000 shares of equal value were applied for in India.\n\nThese observations demonstrate that Mr. Martin's labours have not been restricted to those of a merely literary character. He has visited several times the manufacturing and commercial districts of the United Kingdom; and since his return from the colonies he has traversed a large part of the continent of Europe, including Germany, Switzerland, Belgium, France, &c., and examined the progress of their trade and manufactures. Mr. Martin is one of the few surviving officers of the disastrous surveying and exploring expedition of Her Majesty's vessels \"Levin\" and \"Barracouta,\" employed under W. F. W. Owen on the coasts of Africa, and on the shores and rivers of the Eastern and Southern Hemisphere, and for his services he received the marked commendations of the distinguished Commander of the squadron.\n\nDuring the last four years, Mr. Martin has been an active member of the General Court of Proprietors at the East India House, where he has disinterestedly assisted to obtain freedom of commerce for British India; to procure the adoption of a permanent moderate settlement of the land-tax, and to promote the social and Christian improvement of 100,000,000 of our fellow subjects. He has been several times examined before Committees of Parliament on financial and mercantile measures; and in 1840 he was nearly three weeks under a strict interrogation on the commerce and relative condition of India and the Colonies.\n\nIt has proved a source of sincere gratification to Mr. Martin, that his conduct abroad and at home was deemed deserving the gracious approval of his Sovereign William 4th, who was pleased to command the dedication of the \"History of the British Colonies,\" and the \"Marquess Wellesley's Despatches,\" and his presentation at Court; and to express to the Colonial Office the Royal desire that he should be employed in that department of Government, stating that \"His Majesty took an interest in Mr. Martin's welfare.\"\n\nHer most Gracious Majesty Queen Victoria has also vouchsafed Her Majesty's benign commendation of Mr. Martin's efforts for the welfare of his country.\n\nOne of the greatest statesmen who have shed lustre on this or any other age (the most Noble the Marquess Wellesley) has conferred the much prized boon of his friendship on Mr. Martin; and this brief but unavoidably egotistical detail of public services may well be concluded by annexing a copy of a letter from the noble Marquess to the Secretary of State for the Colonies, of which Mr. Martin may justly feel proud, as it emanates from a mind of the most lofty, generous and enlightened character, and pre-eminently distinguished for an ardent patriotism, which, for more than half a century, has been efficiently devoted to the maintenance of constitutional liberty—to the extension of Christian civilization—and to the preservation and permanent prosperity of the whole British empire.\n\nMy dear Lord,\n\nKingston House, Knightsbridge, 17 November 1840.\n\nYOUR Lordship's uniform kindness and obliging attentions induce me to trouble you with a request, in the success of which I am deeply interested, from motives of gratitude and friendship, as well as from a sense of public duty.\n\nSeveral respectable friends of the present Government, from the same sentiments, have already expressed their concurrence in my opinion, and have declared an anxiety equal to mine on the same subject.\n\nOur object is to see Mr. Montgomery Martin (a gentleman well known to your Lordship and to the public) employed in some station in which his eminent talents and extraordinary industry and diligence, and extensive information, might be rendered useful to the empire.\n\nMy friendship for Mr. Martin is founded on no light basis. I entrusted him with the publication of the documents connected with my administration of the British empire in India; a work which he has completed to my entire satisfaction.\n\nThis work necessarily involved the most confidential communication and intercourse, by which I am enabled, with the most perfect certainty, to pledge my honour to the integrity, ability, honest zeal and indefatigable spirit of industry by which this worthy gentleman has obtained so high an eminence in public estimation.\n\nMr. Martin has made the affairs of the British colonies and of India the more especial objects of his laborious studies; but he is also better informed on the interesting subject of Ireland (more particularly on the operation and result of her Legislative Union with Great Britain), than any person I have ever conversed with. Generally his knowledge of statistics is most extensive and most practically useful.\n\nMy gratitude towards this gentleman renders me most anxious for his welfare; but I would not recommend him to your Lordship, if I were not satisfied that his active employment in the public service would be beneficial to the empire and honourable to himself and to your Lordship.\n\nThe Right hon.

He apprehends, that having resigned your office at Hong Kong, and your resignation having been accepted, you no longer stand in any official relation to the Government; and Her Majesty's Government do not deem it convenient to enter into any discussion with you on the questions of Chinese policy, to which your several communications to them relate.\n\nI am,\n\n&c.\n\n743-\n\nc3",

(signed) Lyttelton.\n\nCOPY of a LETTER from R. Montgomery Martin, Esq., to Mr. Secretary Gladstone.\n\nMansfield House, Iver, near Uxbridge,\n\n7 April 1846.\n\nTHE City article of the \"Times\" of yesterday, contains the following remarks: -\"Hong Kong has quite lost caste as a place for mercantile operations. Many of the merchants had already abandoned the island. Since the beginning of the present year, two firms have given up their establishments; two more of old standing had expressed their determination to quit the colony; and others were hesitating about following their example, or at most of leaving a clerk in possession to forward goods or letters.\"\n\nI believe the foregoing to be a true statement; it is an ample confirmation of my \"Report on Hong Kong,\" dated July 1844, which was transmitted by Governor Davis to the Colonial Office; and it is, I respectfully submit, in justification of my having come to England to bring this and other equally misunderstood and misrepresented portions of our affairs in China, under the immediate and serious consideration of Her Majesty's Government. Yet, for thus acting in accordance with what I deemed an urgent and responsible public duty, I am now subjected to severe punishment, and all inquiry into my conduct, or the means of self justification in public estimation, and which I have so earnestly solicited, is denied me.\n\nI have, &c. (signed) R. M. Martin.\n\nCopy of a LETTER from Lord Lyttelton to R. Montgomery Martin, Esq.\n\nSir,\n\nDowning-street, 15 April 1846.\n\nI AM directed by Mr. Secretary Gladstone to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 7th instant, calling his attention to the \"City Article\" in the \"Times\" Newspaper of the 6th instant, on the subject of Hong Kong, which you consider to be a justification of your having returned to England to bring the state of the colony under the consideration of Her Majesty's Government. Mr. Gladstone desires me to observe in answer, that, whether the statement in the \"Times\" Newspaper be accurate or otherwise, he cannot acknowledge that it was the duty of a subordinate officer of the Government of Hong Kong to repair to this country without the consent, or rather after the dissent of the Governor, to lay those facts before Her Majesty's Government.\n\nNo. 22.\n\nI have, &c. (signed) Lyttelton.\n\nCOPY a LETTER from R. Montgomery Martin, Esq. to Mr. Secretary Gladstone.\n\nSir,\n\nMansfield House, Iver, near Uxbridge, 8 April 1846.\n\nI AM this day honoured with Lord Lyttelton's communication of 6th instant, wherein his Lordship states, that you are \"not at present aware there is any question depending between Her Majesty's Government and myself, which could be made the subject of discussion at a private interview, or of any inquiry in or out of Parliament.\"\n\nPardon my saying, that I think you are still imperfectly informed of the causes of my conditional resignation of office, which was not tendered until I had vainly endeavoured for more than twelve months to check what I viewed as an utter waste of the public money to a serious extent, as testified in the accompanying correspondence; wherein, at page 17, it will be seen that on 19th June 1844, I recommended, in proof of my sincerity, the abolition of my own office, with the hope that the attention of Her Majesty's Government would thus be awakened to the true state of affairs at Hong Kong; and on 14th November 1844 (page 65), I even stated that I \"could not conscientiously continue to receive my salary and remain silent when I perceived that a great error had been committed,\" which it was not too late to rectify; and (at page 72), that \"any suffering or degradation would be preferable to witnessing the pursuance of an erroneous course of policy fraught with great injury to England, which may be averted by prompt, judicious and timely measures.\" Her Majesty's Government had incurred, and were still incurring a very large expenditure on Hong Kong without having had any detailed report on the place; I thought I should have neglected my duty, had I not endeavoured to remedy this defect. My \"Report on Hong Kong,\" was therefore completed 24th July 1844, and forwarded by Governor Davis to the Colonial Office. I am ready to substantiate the truth of every statement contained in that report, which, however, from some motives was unheeded, as were also my urgent representations for a reduction of the public expenditure in China, although these views were forcibly sustained by Commissary-general Coffin, and Deputy Commissary-general Miller, in their reports to Mr. Trevelyan at the Treasury.\n\nUnderstanding in July last, that it was in contemplation to expend a further sum of several million dollars on a barren useless rock, which the British merchants declared to Lord Stanley (13 August 1845), \"was never actually required for the purposes of commerce,\" and which they are \"now abandoning\" (Times, 6 April 1846), I sought six months' leave of absence, offering to resign all salary, to retain my securities to the Crown, to defray my expenses overland to England, and to resign my commission should my conduct be disapproved of at home (see page 114). The leave thus sought was refused, as Governor Davis was aware of my determination to carry out what I thought was correct, and was as I believe desirous of conferring my appointment on his relative Mr. Mercer. Conceiving that a servant of the Crown is a steward of the public interests, that he is bound by his oath and by Christian morality to incur any sacrifice rather than permit the continuance of what he considers to be seriously prejudicial to the national weal, and in the hope that Her Majesty's Government would ultimately appreciate my conduct, I was constrained to tender my conditional resignation, until I could bring the whole subject under the full and unbiassed consideration of Her Majesty's Government (see pages 111 to 118).\n\nPrevious to my departure from China, and likewise since my arrival in England, I explained the amendments and retrenchments which appeared requisite, and on 13th November last, I gave to the Chancellor of the Exchequer at his request, the details of a plan by which 250,000l. a year might be saved in China.\n\nLord Lyttelton informs me, that the tendered resignation of my office having been accepted, \"I no longer stand in any official relation to Government, and that Her Majesty's Government do not deem it convenient to enter into any discussion with me on the questions of Chinese policy to which my several communications to them relate.\"\n\nIn other words, after devoting no inconsiderable portion of the most valuable period of my life to the service of the Crown with industry, honesty and zeal, as evinced in the accompanying reports, after incurring considerable expense in obtaining useful information of which Her Majesty's Government have derived the benefit, and while still engaged in preparing an elaborate commercial report on China for the Board of Trade; am informed, that I have forfeited my position in Her Majesty's service, while those who preferred their emoluments to the public good retain their offices in Hong Kong.\n\n743-\n\nC4\n\nI am\n\nPrinted Pamphlet.",

Martin, Esq. 20 April 1846.\n\nNo. 24.\n\n24\n\nCORRESPONDENCE RELATIVE TO THE RESIGNATION\n\nI am unwilling to believe, that Her Majesty's Government really mean to treat me thus—that they intend to deprive me of employment in Her Majesty's service because I refused to be silent when silence would have been a crime; because I preferred risking office rather than not timely endeavour to correct errors of great national consequence; because I deemed integrity and a vigilant watchfulness to prevent waste and mismanagement ought to be a paramount consideration in a public officer, especially in a distant and novel portion of the empire. I therefore, respectfully ask the application of the principle of justice to me, as if I had been the steward of a trust confided to me by a private individual.\n\nR. M. Martin, Esq., to Lord Lyttelton.\n\n16 April 1846.\n\nShould this unfortunately be denied me, I have to express an earnest hope that you will not refuse me permission to justify my conduct in not having hastily resigned the commission with which my Sovereign was graciously pleased to invest me, and to enable me to demonstrate, that I am not deserving the censure which an acceptance of a resignation thus tendered may by implication convey.\n\nAnd as you desire to be apprized in a more definite manner of the nature and proposed aim of my intended application to Parliament, I beg to state, that the motion which it is proposed to submit to the legislature is, that there be laid before Parliament copies of the correspondence connected with my resignation of the office of Her Majesty's Treasurer for Hong Kong.\n\nI humbly hope that this not unreasonable request will be conceded, and which is made without the slightest intention of attempting to embarrass Her Majesty's Government.\n\nNo. 23.\n\n—\n\nI have, &c.\n\n(signed)\n\nR.

PERMIT me to remark, in reference to the observation of Mr. Secretary Gladstone, contained in your Lordship's letter of 15th instant, that I most fully acknowledge the principle, that \"it is not the duty of a subordinate officer to repair to this country without the consent of the Governor;\" yet, as every rule has its exception, I venture to hope, that on further examination and reflection, it will be seen a departure from the principle in the present case was not only justifiable, but rendered imperatively necessary, from my strong conviction that national interests of the highest importance required immediate and serious investigation, which could only effectually be done by my repairing to England; and that I was bound by the highest obligations to risk even life itself for the accomplishment of the great objects in view.\n\nSupposing,\n\n25\n\nOF MR. M. MARTIN, TREASURER OF HONG KONG. Supposing, however, that the exception to the rule be not admitted, I trust that the motives which influenced the procedure, and strenuous exertions for 25 years, to promote the public good, as exemplified in the accompanying memorandum of services, will have their due weight with Her Majesty's Government.\n\nNo. 25.\n\nI have, &c.

M. Martin, Esq. to this country from Hong Kong without the consent of the Governor; and 22 April 1846.

Martin, Esq., 20th instant. All hope of inducing Mr. Secretary Gladstone to consider my to Lord Lyttelton. resignation of office as an act which it was imperatively the duty of a trustworthy servant of the Crown to perform being now at an end, it is not my wish or intention to prolong this correspondence.\n\nI beg to return my thanks to Mr. Gladstone for granting my request respecting the production before Parliament of the correspondence connected with my resignation; and as my \"Reports on Hong Kong and on Chusan,\" transmitted to Governor Davis, formed the basis of my resignation, and were enclosed with the correspondence, there will not, I presume, be any objection to their production before Parliament. I am not aware that any of my correspondence involves \"injustice to individuals.\"\n\nI have stated openly that the leading Government officers of the past and present administration in Hong Kong had private and personal pecuniary interests at total variance with the public welfare relative to Hong Kong, the true nature of which is now in the course of being fully evinced by the intelligence received by the last mail from China (27 February 1846) stating that the merchants are abandoning the settlement, which is rapidly hastening to \"ruin.\" I am ready to prove the truth of every portion of my reports on Hong Kong and on Chusan; and I may here be permitted to observe, that my earnest entreaties for the retention of Chusan, even after the payment of the last instalment of the Chinese indemnity money, and until the completion of the treaty of Nankin, have now been adopted.\n\nI therefore respectfully submit, that I have stated nothing which can by publicity in the slightest degree be \"prejudicial to Her Majesty's service,\" or be unjust to individuals.\"\n\nMy quiescence for the last five months in England, proves that I have not the slightest idea of doing aught that may embarrass Her Majesty's Government; and my whole conduct shows, I trust, that the public good has ever been the paramount motive of my actions; but I cannot forget there is some degree of justice due to myself, and that it is my duty, in the fulfilment of an important trust, to enable my friends and the public fully to examine into the whole of the causes which compelled me to tender my resignation.\n\nI therefore confidently hope that Mr. Gladstone will, in the full meaning and spirit of the concession contained in your Lordship's letter of the 20th instant, not object to my \"Reports on Hong Kong and on Chusan,\" or to any other documents which may not be really prejudicial to the public service, being laid\n\n743-",

I beg the favour of your Lordship's perusal of the accompanying documents, which have been printed for their more easy reference. I ask earnestly for inquiry into the correctness of my statements.\n\nIt is true that for many years I have been seeking colonial reform. On the 5th December 1837, my petition for an amended administrative colonial department was favourably received by the House of Commons, but its consideration was voluntarily suspended by me, when the Canadian rebellion broke out, rather than embarrass Her Majesty's Government.\n\nThis petition, and the efforts I have made on the subject generally, may have operated to my prejudice in the Colonial Office, but the justness of my views are now pretty generally acknowledged, and it is respectfully submitted, that 20 years untiring exertions, and a heavy expenditure for the public welfare in a most important but hitherto neglected department—that of our colonies—are worthy the favourable consideration of Her Majesty's Government.\n\nI have, &c.

Montgomery Martin, Esq. to Earl Grey.\n\nMy Lord,\n\n29, Bloomsbury-square, 8 July 1846.\n\nI HAVE the honour to solicit a consideration of the following circumstances. In January 1844, I was requested to undertake the duties of Her Majesty's Treasurer at Hong Kong. The office was unsolicited, and it was stated that I was entitled to higher employment, but that as our affairs and prospects in China were of great interest, my proceeding thither would be advisable; I therefore gave up my occupations at home, and fulfilled the duties enjoined.\n\nSoon after my arrival in China it appeared to me that we had committed ourselves to an erroneously restrictive policy; that a most ill-judged selection for a British colony had been made, and that we were incurring a large expenditure without any commensurate advantage.\n\nBelieving it to be my duty, as a faithful servant of the Crown to aid in procuring an examination by Her Majesty's Government of the British position and prospects in China, I framed from time to time several reports and minutes on the subject, but perceiving that these reports produced no effect; aware that there were several influential persons in England as well as in China whose interests were in opposition to any correction of our errors; and believing that no further time was to be lost for the rectification of our affairs previous to the intended evacuation of Chusan in January 1846, I applied for six months' leave of absence, offering to resign all salary, to defray my own expenses to England, to retain my personal and collateral securities to the Crown (amounting to nearly 10,000l.), and to forfeit my position if Her Majesty's Government deemed my views erroneous; or that I had erred in seeking leave to lay before them the information I had collected in every accessible part of China.\n\nGovernor Davis thought it right to refuse the leave sought, was therefore compelled to resign, and my appointment was conferred on his relative, Mr. Mercer.\n\nI acted in accordance with the solemn dictates of my conscience, and hastened to England, where I laid before the Colonial, Treasury, Foreign and Trade Departments various information which was deemed useful. I laid before the Board of Trade a voluminous report on the commerce, internal and coasting trade, government, population, revenue, &c. of the vast Chinese Empire, with special accounts of each consulate; of the commerce of each foreign nation, and detailed statements of the Tea and Opium Trades, &c.\n\nI submitted to the Colonial Office and Exchequer the plan of a reduction of expenditure to the amount of 200,000l. a year, and I laid before the Foreign Office and Board of Trade propositions for opening a commerce with Japan, Corea, Siam, Cochin China, &c., regions abounding in various and valuable commodities, and containing a population estimated at 100,000,000.\n\nFor thus acting I have lost my position in Her Majesty's service, and have been, during the last 12 months, devoid of income; after having devoted a considerable period of the best portion of my life, and a large sum of money, to the promotion of the public good; while those who have acquiesced in what was nationally injurious, have been rewarded and advanced.\n\n-- No. 33.\n\nCopy of a LETTER from B.

The peculiar grounds on which my resignation was given in, or rather forced from me, have therefore never yet been considered; and I earnestly pray that Earl Grey will, as an act of justice to me, authorize that inquiry into my case for which I have in vain petitioned my Sovereign, and which I have never ceased to seek for the last twelve months.\n\nI am ready to resume my duties at Hong Kong, and to fulfil those of Colonial Secretary there, should it be the intention of Her Majesty's Government to unite the two offices.\n\nI state this, to indicate that the unhealthiness of the climate will not prevent my pursuing any duty which may be prescribed by Her Majesty's Government.\n\nSir,\n\nEnclosure in No. 36.\n\nI have, &c.

M. MARTIN, TREASURER OF HONG KONG.\n\ntendered to the Governor of Hong Kong a conditional resignation of your office as Treasurer of that colony.\n\nIn reply I am to inform you, that Lord Grey must consider your coming to this country, after having been refused leave of absence by the Governor, as in itself a resignation of your office; and that you could not be allowed to alter the effect of such a step, by describing your resignation as conditional only. His Lordship, like his predecessors, must regard that resignation as final, and must consider the correspondence with you on this point as now closed.\n\n---No. 38.-\n\nI have, &c. (signed)\n\nB.

The three subsequent parts will be ready on the 1st of each succeeding month.\n\nI still venture to hope that your Lordship will grant me the inquiry which I have earnestly sought during the last eighteen months; the more especially as every mail from China demonstrates the correctness of the views which I came to England to bring under the early consideration of Her Majesty's Ministers.\n\nI am ready to prove before a Committee of Parliament, or before any impartial tribunal, that I have done nothing to forfeit my position in Her Majesty's service; on the contrary, it can be shown that I am entitled to commendation; and I have reason to think that if my case had been fully and impartially placed before Lord Stanley, his Lordship would have seen that my resignation was \"conditional,\" and that I was at least entitled to a hearing before I was condemned to the sacrifice of my appointment.\n\nIt is painfully humiliating to be thus an importunate beggar for justice, which would not be denied to a criminal; but I am desirous to exhaust every means before I appeal to Parliament, as I am unwilling to do aught in opposition to Her Majesty's Government.\n\nSurely, my Lord, by conceding the boon of inquiry, no detriment would accrue to the public service; and your Lordship (to whom I am, personally, a stranger) can have no cause to permit the continuance of the injustice I am now enduring, and which I feel assured, if you were in possession of the whole facts, you would not hesitate to redress.\n\n- No. 39.--\n\n(signed)\n\nI have, &c.\n\nR.

The formation of a colony at Hong Kong, containing the most dissolute Chinese, is decidedly a discredit to us, and operates injuriously in our relations with the Chinese government.\n\n18 May 1847.\n\n3910. Is it necessary to maintain the present civil and military expenditure at Hong Kong, as a protection to our China trade ?-By no means, I think. I have addressed a report to Her Majesty's Government on Hong Kong, in July 1844, which I beg to submit to the Committee. I have connected with it a suggestion for the reduction of the governmental establishments there. I believe it is the best means of affording the merchants a prospect of carrying out their views in the island, by reducing the governmental establishments and diminishing the taxation required. (The report was delivered in. Vide Appendix.) The substance of that report is to prove the inefficiency of Hong Kong as a station for a commercial emporium, as a military station, and as a colony; and it contains suggestions for diminishing the expenditure in the different departments. I find that the estimated charge for Hong Kong for one year, 1846, was nearly 500,000l. The estimate transmitted to England for civil buildings, roads, and drains, amounts to 135,050l. for the year ending 31 March 1846. The Ordnance estimate laid before Parliament, dated 16 February 1846, for buildings and barracks, amounts to 124,000l. The civil salaries, wages, and contingencies, to 41,000l. The established military pay, provisions and charges for two regiments, about 150,000l. Victualling navy, stores, and advances to the navy, 50,000l., making the total cost of Hong Kong for one year, 500,000l., and this irrespective of the share of the cost of a line of battle ship, two frigates, three steamers, two gun brigs, and irrespective of the consular and superintendent of trade charges, amounting to 40,000l. The revenue received for the year 1845, was 15,221l. I cannot therefore omit this opportunity of stating, that I consider such an expenditure a waste of the resources of the British treasury, and that a single frigate or steamer at Canton would be more effective for the protection of our trade than any garrison or fleet that we can maintain at Hong Kong.\n\n3911. That expenditure of 500,000l. was for one year?—Yes.\n\n3912. That will not be continued?-No; but the estimated civil expenditure for 1847-48, for roads, drains, and bridges, is 24,302l., and for works and buildings, 4,150l, making together, 28,453l. The total estimate, colonial and consular, 1847-48, is 107,755l. When it is known that for a small island like that, the Governor costs 7,000l. a year, and the Lieutenant-governor 4,500l, and others charges in proportion, it is not to be wondered at that there has been great dissatisfaction on the part of the merchants there at the endeavour to raise a revenue to meet such charges. That expenditure is still going on, and the taxation proportionately increasing. The General's house alone will cost 70,000 dollars; the officers' quarters, 110,000 dollars; the hospital, 187,000 dollars; the barracks, about 250,000 dollars; and forts are also constructing to protect an island which produces nothing, and which protects nothing.\n\n3913. Are there any means of deriving better results from the colony of Hong Kong ?-I consider that it is due to the merchants who have laid out such a large capital there, to free the place as much as possible from taxation, to grant them their lands in perpetuity, to reduce the rents levied on those lands, and to leave the place perfectly free, giving ample security for life and property. A few years will then determine whether it be possible to produce any commercial results from the place. I have no impression that it will, but I think it is due to the merchants to give the experiment every advantage.\n\n3914. During your residence in China did you visit all the consular stations, and collect materials for a commercial report on China ?-I visited all the consular stations, and the island of Chusan; and I laid before Her Majesty's Government a full Report, any part of which can be produced before the Committee. My object in doing so was to endeavour to expand our trade with China. I consider that by opening other ports, and by getting a commercial station at Nankin, and at the Pei Ho, and other commercial stations in China, we should materially improve our trade, and get freer access to the interior of the country.\n\n3915. Do you think there is any chance of getting a commercial station at Nankin or the Pei Ho ?-I think it would be worth the consideration of the Government\n\n[ 3 ]\n\nGovernment to open a negotiation with the government of China, to point out R. M. Martin, Esq. that a mistake has been made in the selection of the present occupation, and to offer some equivalent advantages for having some other commercial stations\n\n18 May 1847.\n\nopened to us, and generally to revise our treaty, which has been an extremely unfortunate one. It was originally prepared by Mr. Poulett Thompson and Mr. Deacon Hume at the Board of Trade, and sent on shore at Nankin without any alteration whatever; and its provisions were subsequently materially restricted by means of the supplemental treaty, which isolated Hong Kong from all the surrounding ports.\n\n3916. Do you think that our commerce with China is capable of increase, either as regards exports or imports ?--I think a more free intercourse with China would develope resources that at present we are unacquainted with. I think China possesses large quantities of precious metals, which if worked would afford a considerable means of remittance to this country. I understand that sugar might be made an article of commerce and export from China; and if our East India ships were permitted, on proceeding to Amoy and other places, to load with sugar for England, although they have Lascar crews, it would be a means of furnishing return freights to this country irrespective of tea. If those ships were permitted to come to England with sugar, which the existing navigation laws prohibit in consequence of their being manned with Lascars, it would benefit the trade of China. I particularly wish to see the coasting trade carried on more extensively by English vessels.\n\n3917. Have any other means occurred to you of extending our trade with China; is there any other article that China can send us besides tea and silk ?-I have mentioned sugar; hemp is another article. There are various branches of manufactures, though small in amount, that might be extended.\n\n3918. Do not you think that probably the result of our intercourse with China will be something the same as the result of our intercourse with India, namely, that we shall undersell their manufactures and take their raw produce in increased quantities in return ?-In cotton manufactures we can undersell them all; probably also in some of their silks of a lighter description; but there are commodities of different kinds in China, I have no doubt, with such an immense population, which would be discovered by greater freedom of intercourse.\n\n3919. From your recent intercourse with China, what conclusions have you been led to draw as to the present state of the Chinese empire ?-My present impression is, that it is in a state of decadence, and has been so for two or three centuries; that it is extremely loosely held together, and its government exceedingly weak; and that by a proper representation on our part to the authorities at Pekin, we could obtain freedom of intercourse with other parts of China, and freedom of intercourse with the interior; that it would be for the benefit of the Chinese as well as the English that a freedom of intercourse should be established.\n\n3920. Would it, in your opinion, be practicable to open a negotiation for the establishment of a British resident at Pekin ?-I think so. The Russians at present have an establishment there; we might, I understood, have had it or anything else at the time of the treaty of Nankin, if we had applied for it.\n\n3921. Do you think that the Chinese government would be adverse, on religious grounds, to a more intimate intercourse with Europeans ?--I think not; there has been recently an edict granted by the Emperor tolerating Christianity, and ordering the restoration of the temples that were formerly confiscated. Any hostility that might be experienced would be principally from the Tartars, not from the Chinese. In all the northern cities of China we are received in the most friendly manner. The only hostility manifested has been at Canton, and to some extent at Foo Choo Foo, where a Tartar garrison has been established.\n\n3922. Why are they more hostile to us ?-Naturally as being a handful of people holding despotic control over China.\n\n3923. Do the Chinese government feel any indisposition towards this country in consequence of the opium trade ?-My impressions upon that subject are very strong with reference to the injurious effects of it nationally. I have made a report thereon to Her Majesty's Government, and with great reluctance refer to the point, because I have the misfortune to differ from several English merchants connected with the opium trade in China; gentlemen of high character and standing. I do not wish to make use of my position before this Committee",

        "content_text": "I \n\nT \n\n443 \n\n18 May 1847. \n\n[ 4 ] \n\nR. M. Martin, Esq. mittee to state the injurious effects of opium, as I believe it does not come particularly within the province of the Committee. If they require it I will do so, but I am unwilling to state anything in opposition to the proceedings of gentlemen for whom I entertain respect. I think that the extensive use of opium in China diminishes the possibility of selling our manufactures. Mr. Norton, in his evidence before this Committee, has put the case very clearly, by showing the balance of trade, which is against China, and paid for in precious metals. I inquired of the Toutai at Shanghai what would be the best means of increasing our commerce with China, and his first answer to me, in the presence of Captain Balfour, Her Majesty's consul, was, \"Cease sending us so much opium, and we shall be enabled to take your manufactures.\" I think there cannot be a doubt that if we could supply the Chinese with three to four millions of manufactures instead of opium, they would have better means of purchasing than if they expended the money in buying opium.\n\n3924. Would you propose, on the part of this country, an absolute prohibition of the importation of opium into that country by any of our subjects?- I would, on the same ground that the slave trade is prohibited. I think we are bound by the relations in which we stand to China, not to persevere in carrying on that trade at Hong Kong, for the abolition of which the government of China are particularly anxious.\n\n3925. Would not your reasoning apply to trading in spirits, or any other deleterious article?-Spirits are not deleterious; spirits contain the element of life; opium does not contain those elements. Every nation that has yet made any advance in civilization, uses spirits.\n\n3926. Ought not the Government of this country therefore to interdict the introduction of opium into this country?-It is not used to an excess.\n\n3927. But it is used?-Only I believe as a medicine; at least, its use otherwise is a very rare occurrence.\n\n3928. Are you not aware that it is used in this country for other purposes besides medicine?-I have examined the Custom-house returns, and I have seen no greater increase than the augmentation of the population would warrant.\n\n3929. In fact you would interdict the introduction of opium entirely into China by our subjects?—I think we are bound to do so by our treaty with China. I would disconnect Her Majesty's Government with it.\n\n3930. Mr. Harcourt.] Do you suppose that in the opinion of medical men, the use of spirits is not deleterious to health?-In moderation it is beneficial to health, and the best proof of that is, that every nation that has advanced in civilization uses fermented liquors, but every nation that used opium has gone to decay; witness Persia, Turkey, and China.\n\n3931. Do not you imagine that opium may be used medically as well as spirits?-The medical use is altogether a different thing; the impossibility of maintaining moderation in the use of opium is admitted.\n\n3932. Mr. Ewart.] If the use of opium were restricted to medical purposes, how are you to prevent its coming in under that name to a great extent?- In this country it would not be necessary to restrict it, because the moral habits of the people are adverse to such a deleterious drug; in China its prohibition has been found necessary as a moral question, and partly as a financial. There is no doubt of the sincerity of the Chinese government in their efforts to put down opium, for when Governor Davis drew up a paper with great ability urging the legalized introduction of opium into China, that paper, on being submitted to the Emperor, had this answer appended to it: \"It is true I cannot prevent the introduction of the flowing poison; gain-seeking and corrupt men will for profit and sensuality defeat my wishes, but nothing will induce me to derive a revenue from the vice and misery of my people.\"\n\n3933. Do you think it would be possible to prevent the introduction of opium into China?-I do, by the concurrence of the governments of England, America and France.\n\n3934. And of other countries?-Those three countries would do it efficiently, I think.\n\n3935. Would not Holland be important?-Holland has very little trade; if those three countries made it a prohibition they would entirely put it down. With regard to the question as to the use of opium, I felt bound, as a member of the council, to dissent from its introduction into Hong Kong, and I should be glad to put on record my dissent; it states some of the grounds on which I dissent.\n\n3936. Sir G. Staunton.] Did you propose that the opium trade should be left entirely free?--I objected to the Queen's Government being in any way identified with the opium trade in Hong Kong; merchants in their dealings therein would act according to their private consciences.\n\n3937. Mr. Ewart.] Then you did not propose to interdict the trade on the part of the merchants?-Not at all. I object on the ground that the Queen of this country, as a Christian Sovereign, ought not to sanction the opium trade.\n\n3938. Do you extend that to a company like the East India Company, who cultivate the article as a monopoly?-Quite so.\n\n3939. Sir G. Staunton.] Would not the effect of that be rather to give greater facility to the opium trade?-Granting even that it does, it disconnects the Government of a Christian country with what I consider to be a vice. I do not think that any government professing Christianity should be connected with a vicious means of indulgence.\n\n3940. You do not contemplate any positive prohibition at Hong Kong?- Had I the power, I would. I was not called upon to propose such.\n\n3941. Mr. Ewart.] You merely spoke as a Government officer?-As a member of Her Majesty's Council. I put in a dissent which was written a few hours before carrying it into the council; I will deliver in a copy of it.~-~ (The same was delivered in. Vide Appendix.)\n\n3942. In what respect do you think the opium trade injurious to us, in our relations with China?-Politically, with reference to our position with the government of China. Had France, or America, or Russia, granted us an island on their coast, as a commercial station, and had they prohibited the use of opium, believing it to be injurious, we dare not in that case have made it a smoking shop for the empire; and I would not act to the Chinese government in a different manner than I would act to a government in Europe. Then, socially speaking, I believe it is the duty of this Government to uphold moral principles, and to disseminate religious truth, and she cannot do that with one hand, while on the other she is introducing into China an amount of opium which furnishes 17 grains a day to each of three millions of people, and which, in the language of Mr. Lay, Her Majesty's late consul at Amoy, is 'hamstringing the nation;\" that was the expression of Mr. Lay. I think it is desolating China, corrupting its government, and bringing the fabric of that extraordinary empire to a state of more rapid dissolution. Commercially speaking, it is injurious to us, because it prevents the extension of our manufactures in China. Four or five mercantile houses are engaged in that traffic, and derive a large amount of income from it; but the trade in England is materially cramped, by the extension of opium consumption in China, to the extent of at least four millions sterling.\n\n3943. Viscount Jocelyn.] Do you believe that our Government refusing to have anything to do with the opium trade, would tend to put a stop to it?— I do not think it would immediately.\n\n3944. Would it put a check to the trade?-It might have some effect upon the consciences or moral feelings of men if there were general opprobrium thrown on it by the Government; though, of course, a few individuals for gain, might always afford means of obtaining it.\n\n3945. Do not you think that it would lead to an unhappy state of affairs if there were a perpetual war going on between the people bringing opium to the shores and the Chinese government?-It was not so when Commissioner Lin took the steps that he did; there was not a possibility of selling a chest of opium along the coast. The compradors that went ashore at different ports were seized, and it was known that the opium that was taken possession of at Canton could not be sold, and that that was a great benefit to the English traders in opium.\n\n3946. Do you believe that at that period there was no opium sold along the coast of China?-I understood from the persons engaged in the traffic, that there was a complete cessation of it; they could not sell the opium.\n\n3947. Mr. Ewart.] But you cannot speak from your own personal knowledge?-I speak from the evidence of captains of ships, and those engaged in opium vessels.\n\n3948. But you cannot have seen all the captains of ships who traded along the coast?-I think I consulted seven, if not eight.\n\n3949. Viscount Jocelyn.] Would not you allow that if such a state of things\n\nB\n\nwas\n\n18 May 1847.\n\nPage 450\n\nPage 451",

Martin, Esq. was likely to arise, it would be more injurious to our trade with China than the Government to a certain decree acknowledging the trade—Certainly not; our main trade at present is in tea, and the Chinese are as much dependent upon the sale of tea as we are upon the purchase of it. During the war, when we were capturing their cities, the tea trade went on as usual; therefore the efforts of the Chinese government to put down the opium trade would not affect our trade.\n\n3950. You do not think that a state of things which would lead to a piratical system in China would be injurious to our trade?—I do not perceive that it would have that effect.\n\n3951. You admit that the people would have opium; then if the government did all it could to suppress the opium trade, must not the result of their carrying out their views be a piratical state of things?—It would lead probably to severe contests, as in the recent melancholy case, where two vessels were cut off at Chimmoo Bay; but probably the Government of this country would be bound to interfere to prevent its flag being used for the purpose of smuggling opium into China against the laws of that empire.\n\n3952. Mr. Ewart.] Have any other means occurred to you of extending our trade with China?—I think a great deal may be done by opening collateral intercourse with the nations surrounding China. The first country to which I would beg the attention of the Committee would be Japan; we had formerly a factory in Japan, and in 1613 the Emperor of Japan granted a treaty of privileges to this country of a most favourable nature. I have discovered in the British Museum a copy of that treaty, a translation of which I beg to give in. It is written in the Firogane character, and gives us perfect freedom of access for all goods to Japan. We were ultimately compelled to abandon that factory by the aggressions of the Dutch, but for many years the Japanese government retained the English factory for them. I think it is possible to re-open our intercourse with Japan on the basis of this treaty, and that a mission, undertaken as Great Britain ought to undertake it, would be effectual in obtaining for us even better terms than the Dutch now have at Nangasaki. I will hand in the translation of the treaty. (The same was delivered in. Vide Appendix.)\n\n3953. This original writing is still intelligible to the Japanese?—Yes.\n\n3954. And therefore this instrument might be the basis of a negotiation with them?—Yes; the Japanese are very strict in adhering to promises.\n\n3955. How has the treaty been translated?—The translation is along with the original in the British Museum. A letter was also written from the Emperor of Japan, accompanying that treaty, to the King of Great Britain. There is an old translation of that, of which I will hand in a copy. (The same was delivered in. Vide Appendix.) The position of Japan, as evidenced upon this skeleton map (producing a map), shows how advantageous would be the intercourse with reference to China, and to the intermediate peninsula of Corea. Corea is a peninsula of about 500 miles long and 200 broad, with a fine climate, an excellent soil, and an industrious people; it would afford to us a considerable outlet for our manufactures. A harbour named Chosan, near the south-east extremity of the peninsula, has been visited recently by Sir Edward Belcher. It is a harbour to which the Japanese resort for trade with Corea; and as Corea does not belong to China, but has merely a ceremonial of investiture on the accessions of its sovereigns, it would be perfectly free for us to enter into commercial arrangements with Corea without any negotiation with the Chinese government. On Lord Macartney's mission in 1792, he was instructed to open a communication with Japan, Cochin China, and all countries, but the state of affairs prevented it. The French have recently sent a mission to Japan, but more complimentary than for the purpose of any commercial intercourse. The Americans have recently sent a mission, but they have been refused intercourse, for they are viewed as inferior in rank to the English, and probably it would not be deemed courteous to give the Americans access to Japan, when England has not yet applied. I learned at Java recently, from a Dutch gentleman who had returned from Japan, that the Japanese were expecting a mission from England, that they had translated the whole account of our war with China, and that it would be a favourable opportunity to make an impression upon the Japanese authorities, and to obtain commercial intercourse with Japan. Those islands may be termed the Great Britain of the China seas; they contain about 35,000,000 of inhabitants far more civilized than the Chinese, whom they hold in contempt; in fact they only permit six Chinese junks a year to visit them at one port, Nangasaki.\n\n[ 7 ]\n\nthan the Chinese, whom they hold in contempt; in fact they only permit six R. M. Martin, Esq. Chinese junks a year to visit them at one port, Nangasaki.\n\n18 May 1847.\n\n3956. And only one Dutch ship?—Two is the number now.\n\n3957. Have you examined the past and present intercourse between Holland and Japan?—I have reported on it to Her Majesty's Government.\n\n3958. Can you give the Committee any further information as to our former relations with Japan?—We had a factory there, and we were exceedingly well received.\n\n3959. For how long?—From 1613 to 1623. We were then expelled by the conduct of the Dutch, which was somewhat similar to the massacre at Amboyna, and they obliged our people to retreat from Japan.\n\n3960. What is the result of your inquiries into the trade between Holland and Japan?—The trade with Holland has diminished latterly, in consequence of the monopolizing spirit of the Dutch government; they are restricted to a single port at Nangasaki; but if we had free intercourse with the capital, with Jeddo, I think a very large trade might be carried on, not only with Japan, but intermediately with the adjacent places.\n\n3961. When did the ship called the \"Morrison\" go there?—I think the date was 1837; she went there on a mission from Canton, but was unsuccessful; no efforts were made to prosecute it. There is an island marked on that map, called Quelpaart's Island, which is worthy of attention as a trading station.\n\n3962. Is Quelpaart's Island, which is south of the peninsula of Corea, a good trading station? It is. The circumstance of its geographical position renders it most advantageous for a trade with Japan, with Corea, and with China. I understand that the country is fertile, and is covered with cattle; some of our ships visited it during the war, and obtained supplies there. If it were made a commercial trading station under the protection of a 10-gun brig, not expensively established as a colony, I think it would afford the means of trade with all the countries around, and time would indicate its value.\n\n3963. What is its relation to China?—It has no relation to China; it is connected with Corea.\n\n3964. Is it under a kind of feudal investiture?—No, it is a mere appendage to the peninsula of Corea.\n\n3965. Corea you state to be a country connected directly with the crown of China?—Only so far directly that the sovereign of Corea receives his investiture on coming to the throne, and sends annually some present to Pekin. The Coreans carry on trade at Pekin, but they are perfectly independent in their relations, and have been at war with China and with Japan.\n\n3966. Is it something like the Pacha of Egypt and the Turkish government?—It is probably so. It would be a great advantage to our merchants if they had Corea open to them for their traffic.\n\n3967. Quelpaart's Island would be a good position, having on one side China and on another the peninsula of Corea, and as a third side the Japan Islands?—Yes; I am not speaking of it as a colony, but as a trading station.\n\nAfter a few years it might be seen what advantages were realized; but in order to carry on a trade with the northern regions, it would be necessary to repeal the Act which prohibits British ships or subjects going beyond the 32d degree of north latitude.\n\n3968. Is that part of the present stipulation with China?—Not at all; it is a gratuitous Act, restricting ourselves. I never could understand what was the object of preventing British merchants seeking to push their wares into the northern regions. It is an Hong Kong Ordinance, No. 1, of 1846, creating penalties for any ship going beyond the 32d degree of north latitude. Ordinance was founded on an act of the Privy Council here originally.\n\nThe\n\n3969. And not based upon any understanding with the Chinese government?—Upon no treaties. There is another region to which a collateral trade might be carried on, and that is the region of Siam and Cochin China, extending South of China.\n\n3970. There are also the Loo Choo Islands?—They are small; Manchouria would form a station for our coasting traffic. Siam and Cochin China it is estimated contain a population of 50,000,000. We have a treaty with Siam, but it is so imperfect, that it has never been acted upon. It requires ships to take their guns out, &c. It appears to be subject to restrictions which would prevent",

That treaty, I believe, is not known at the Foreign Office; I obtained it at the India House.\n\n3971. Was Mr. Crawfurd agent at the time it was made?-Mr. Crawfurd was agent.\n\n3972. Was it between the King of Siam and the East India Company?— Yes. But it is held valid by the Crown of England.\n\n3973. Would not it go to the Board of Control, under Mr. Pitt's Act?—Yes, the Board of Control, certainly. There is a treaty between the United States of America and Siam on the 3d of March 1843, which is an excellent treaty, and is in operation. A considerable trade is now carrying on under it. I will hand in a copy of this treaty. (The same was delivered in. Vide Appendix.)\n\n3974. Do the Americans carry on any trade with Siam now?-They do, and are endeavouring to do so with Cochin China; and there is a large supply of sugars, &c. to be obtained in those countries.\n\n3975. Have you any remarks to make upon the trade between Singapore and China?—I have some Returns prepared of the trade between Singapore and China for 10 years; it is an increasing traffic.\n\n3976. What does it consist of principally-In what is termed Straits' produce, which consists of rattans, rice, drugs, dried fish, birds' nests, and various commodities. These Returns have been prepared for me by the Governor of Singapore, which will illustrate the trade of China and Singapore; they contain both the values and the quantities. (The same were delivered in. Vide Appendix.) I obtained from the collector of customs at Bombay the official Returns of the trade between China, Bengal, and Bombay, giving the quantities and the values. These are the official Returns transmitted to me by the collector of customs at Calcutta and Bombay. (The same were delivered in. Vide Appendix.)\n\n3977. Is the cotton trade increasing now from India to China?-The cotton trade has diminished. The Americans have been pushing the trade in raw cotton from the United States.\n\n3978. Is that an increasing trade-It has fallen off the last year; but for several years it had been slowly increasing. The quantity of cotton twist that goes to China diminishes very much the importation of raw cotton from India.\n\n3979. The quantity of cotton twist imported into China increases ?—Yes.\n\n3980. From whence?-From England and from the United States.\n\n3981. The supply of China itself, of raw cotton, and cotton twist, for its manufactures, is insufficient I should think so; the importations have increased very largely.\n\n3982. Do not they grow very fine cotton there -Yes; but insufficient for the population. In the northern districts of China, the people are clad in sheep skins or cotton quilt.\n\n3983. Have you any means of judging of the extent to which we might push the trade in woollens with China?-If we had stations to the northward, they would be advantageous for that purpose. In the southern districts the people are clothed in cotton.\n\n3984. Does not Shang-hai, by opening more communication with the north of China, enable us to send our woollens to the northward?-Yes; but not so well as if we had a station at Tientzin, the port of Pekin,\n\n3985. Would not the Chinese object to our coming so near the capital?- The Tartar government might object to that, but there is in some of the Chinese statesmen a desire to cultivate relations with England.\n\n3986. Have you prepared a report upon the tea trade?-I have prepared and submitted to Her Majesty's Government a report on the tea trade. On proceeding to China, it was stated to me, that any information which I could collect, and any reports which I could make, would be acceptable to Her Majesty's Government, and I prepared this Report and this Table, a copy of which beg to lay before the Committee. (The same were delivered in. Vide Appendix.) I should state that I have the misfortune to differ from the opinions which have been promulgated before this Committee with reference to the reduction of the duty. The evidence of that Table is to demonstrate that the tea consumption has increased in this country irrespectively of the duty levied by the Government. In the last five years there has been an increase of 10,000,000 of pounds, therefore, showing that it is not the rate of duty which impedes the consumption. If the Government could afford to give up a portion\n\nof\n\n[ 9 ]\n\nof the 5,000,000 l. of duty levied upon tea, it would be an experiment; but I do not believe it would reduce the price of tea, or benefit the commerce of the country.\n\nR. M. Martin, Esq.\n\n18 May 1847.\n\n3987. Would it not increase the consumption of tea?--I do not think it would. I think tea is a very peculiar article as to its consumption; that it is out of the category of sugar and other commodities, and that mere cheapness of price will not cause an increased consumption. I am prepared to offer evidence to show that in different countries in Europe, where tea at one time was largely consumed, yet though no duty was levied, the consumption entirely fell off.\n\nIn the United States\n\n3988. Owing to what causes?-Change of taste. latterly there has been no duty, and the consumption of tea has not increased in any proportion whatever; and therefore the duty, which must be maintained by the Government for its revenue, may as well be levied on tea as on other commodities. I, for one, would rather see the people of this country possessed of the means of obtaining malt liquor free than tea cheap; it would be more beneficial to the working classes to have beer cheap than to have very cheap tea. I consider the excessive use of tea injurious. In the case of our factory population living on vegetable diet, the using tea largely produces a very deleterious effect upon them.\n\n3989. Have you any other observations to offer upon our trade with China? -Not beyond this; that it would be exceedingly advisable for Her Majesty's Government to dispatch a mission to China for the purpose of obtaining a modification of the treaty, perfect freedom of intercourse, and the opening of other ports to the northward.\n\n3990. And you believe that such an attempt would be successful?—I believe that if properly conducted it would be highly beneficial, and would be met with a feeling, if not of very cordial amity, yet at least of a desire to hold friendly intercourse with us.\n\n3991. Sir G. Staunton] Do you consider that the present decay of trade at Hong Kong arises from unavoidable circumstances, or that there is any change of system which the Government could adopt that might restore it to a state of prosperity ?—I have no desire to avoid giving an answer to that question, inasmuch as I think there have been strong expressions against the existing mode of government in Hong Kong. I believe that the Honourable Baronet who is at the head of Her Majesty's government in China, is a gentleman of great intelligence, of good business habits, and not indisposed to carry out the most beneficial measures for the interest both of the government he represents, and of the community over whom he presides; I think the difficulties that have arisen have been difficulties arising rather from the nature of the place, than from the measures adopted. I very much regret that Sir John Davis did not more directly look in the face the very great difficulties which he had to contend with, instead of endeavouring by a system of taxation and legislation to raise up the place to what was expected. I think it has been unfortunate for himself, and has caused a great deal of the disappointment that has ensued. I entertain for Sir John Davis in many regards a respect, and though I had the misfortune to differ with him upon the question of opium, and was compelled to resign my position in Her Majesty's service because I was refused by him six months' leave of absence, I think Sir John Davis under other circumstances would have made a good governor.\n\n3992. Supposing that in raising the present revenue he acted under instructions from home, you do not see how a similar revenue could be raised in any other manner more satisfactorily to the colony-Had the Governor used his discretion in representing that it was not possible to raise a revenue without diminishing the commerce or injuring the merchants in their endeavours to make the place more available for trade, I think he would have exercised a sound discretion. It was an endeavour to realize the representations which had been made. For instance, Her Majesty's Government were informed that Hong Kong would be the Carthage of the east. In another communication they were informed that it would have a population equal to ancient Rome. On another occasion, Governor Davis informed Lord Stanley that he believed Hong Kong would ultimately supersede Canton; and the constant endeavour to realize those expectations led to a continued system of taxation, an unfortunate desire for legislation, and an unnecessarily expensive system of government.",

        "content_text": "Be\n\nf\n\nTY\n\n446\n\nR. M. Martin, Esq., examined.\n\n18 May 1847.\n\n[10]\n\nThis produced irritation on the part of the merchants, who, smarting under their losses, felt more irritable at every transaction; and thus there has been produced an unfortunate state of feeling between the community and the Governor.\n\n3993. But supposing this revenue is required to be raised, you are not aware of any other manner in which it can be accomplished with satisfaction to the colony?—It is impossible to raise a revenue from such a place. The endeavour to squeeze as much as possible out of a poor struggling settlement necessarily causes irritation. There is not a respectable Chinese inhabitant in the island, and never has been. A person engaged in the opium trade, named Chinam, built a hong there, and shortly after quitted the place; but no respectable Chinaman will live at Hong Kong.\n\n3994. What you would recommend, would be to abandon the design of raising the present revenue at Hong Kong?—I would not attempt to raise any revenue beyond a moderate amount of land rent, and give security to life and property.\n\n3995. The registration system has been stated to be very objectionable; do you concur in that opinion?—I objected to the registration system in the first place, as regards Europeans; I did not think they ought to be placed like ticket-of-leave men at New South Wales. I objected to it secondly, as levying a tax upon the Chinese. And I particularly objected to the most obnoxious proposition of branding them upon the cheeks.\n\n3996. And which has been abandoned?—Yes. But the registration system has been ineffective, even with those modifications.\n\n3997. And therefore you recommend the entire abandonment of it?—Yes.\n\n3998. And you think that could be done consistently with the security of persons and property in the island?—There has been little security, and there is still less at present. The very last mail shows that individuals cannot walk outside the town unarmed.\n\n3999. Would you suggest any remedy for that evil?—I would give the Chinese shopkeepers there somewhat the management of their own people. There is an excellent municipal local system in every town in China, and I would endeavour to make the Chinese in Hong Kong supervisors of their own people, and give them some little rank of office, in order that they may exercise a surveillance over their own people.\n\n4000. You think an effective police may be constituted upon that principle so as to control the evil-disposed population, and at the same time not to discourage the respectable population?—Yes; I would leave it as much as possible in the hands of the Chinese themselves. At present the police are composed of Europeans and Lascars; the gentleman at the head of the police is an efficient officer from London, Mr. May; and though I have heard observations made respecting the police squeezing the inhabitants, my impression is that that gentleman is a most trustworthy character, and would be the last to sanction such a proceeding; but I would have some Chinese police.\n\n4001. You do not think it necessary to have any registration for persons visiting the island?—It is impossible, from the contiguity of the island to the mainland; it would be like an attempt as between one side of the Thames and the other, with boats going constantly backwards and forwards.\n\n4002. Viscount Jocelyn.] Do you know anything of the village administration in China?—It is maintained by a system of head-men. Their municipal system appears to be almost perfect, and to be one of the means by which that vast empire is kept together.\n\n4003. It is very similar to the village system in India?—Yes.\n\n4004. Do you think you could get respectable Chinamen to take the office of head-men in the villages?—There are shopkeepers and inhabitants of that kind in Hong Kong to whom I would entrust the power. I would constitute them a petty bench. I think such an arrangement would be popular, by showing a disposition to grant the Chinese power, and to make them respect themselves.\n\nI beg to add, that it is much to be regretted that we have not retained possession of Chusan, and if any negotiation were opened with the Government of China, it would be very desirable to retain possession of that settlement, one of the most advantageously situated islands which I have seen in that part of the world. If we had the power of placing an island in any part of the globe, which for political and commercial objects would be an eligible position for England, we could not place it in a spot equal to that of Chusan.\n\n18 May 1847.\n\n4005. Sir G. Staunton.] But you do not consider, that under the provisions of the treaty, it would be possible to retain it?—Quite so. Lord Aberdeen informed me, that Chusan should not be evacuated till Canton was opened; but nevertheless Chusan has been evacuated, but Canton has not been opened.\n\n4006. Viscount Jocelyn.] Do you believe that for commerce it would have been important to have kept the island of Chusan?—Probably not as regards the Yang-tse-kiang; but with regard to other places, Japan, Corea, Mantchouria, all the northern districts of China, and Formosa.\n\n4007. Do you remember whether, after Shang-hai was opened, the trade of Chusan did not nearly cease?—That was because no vessel was allowed to go to Chusan; it was not within the terms of the treaty. A vessel could not come from one of the other ports in China to Chusan.\n\n4008. Before Chusan was given up, immediately that Shang-hai was opened, what was the effect upon the trade at Chusan?—The trade at Chusan was drawn off to Shang-hai. The reason that there was none at Chusan was that Chusan was not permitted to be included in the trade which we were then carrying on. It was held merely as a guarantee.\n\n4009. Mr. Harcourt.] We have been told by witnesses that it would have required a considerable employment of troops to have retained possession of Chusan. Do you agree in that?—Not at all; the very reverse. First with regard to the police. The police did not cost 100 dollars a month. There was not a homicide in the island while we possessed it; and the value of all the property stolen did not exceed that stolen in a single night at Hong Kong. Secondly, with regard to troops, it is more easily defended than Hong Kong; and the inhabitants being ordinarily of the agricultural character, required less means of keeping them in order. There is a fort called Joss House Hill, which, with a few troops, would give complete protection; whereas, with regard to Hong Kong, we never could defend it: half the harbour does not belong to us, and no garrison we could keep there could defend it. At Chusan I believe a frigate and a single regiment would be a sufficient protection.\n\n4010. Mr. Ewart.] Do you think that while access is allowed to the towns on the main land, it is likely that an island at some distance would become a depôt of commerce?—I spoke of its being a depôt from other places; but with regard to our access to places on the main land, it is as if a Chinese merchant were allowed to come to Gravesend, instead of London; to Pill, instead of Bristol; to Greenock, instead of Glasgow; we are only at the very outskirts of the Empire, not in the commercial cities.\n\n4011. With what commercial cities do you think we should open further communication?—Soochoo, of which Shang-hai is the port; Nankin, Tching-kiang foo, Tientzin, Kiang-sing, and Tchang-foo, of which Amoy is the port, and the cities above Canton. There are two large cities on the river above Canton to which we should have access.\n\nAPPENDIX",

Montgomery Martin, Esq., and referred to in his Evidence on 18 May 1847.\n\n(1.)\n\nREPORT on the Island of Hong Kong, by R. Montgomery Martin, Her Majesty's Treasurer for the Colonial and Consular Service in China, and a Member of Her Majesty's Council at Hong Kong. Transmitted to Governor Davis for Lord Stanley, 24 July 1844.\n\nLocality-Hong Kong, which in the Chinese language signifies Red Harbour, or Flowing Streams, is in north latitude 22° 16' 27\", east longitude 114° 14' 48\", distant about 40 miles east from Macao. It forms one of a numerous but scattered group of lofty islands termed the \"Ladrones,\" which vary in size and height, but agree in their arid and rugged features. The length of the island from east to west is about eight miles, with a breadth of two to four miles; it is separated from the main land of China by a strait or inlet of the sea, varying in breadth from half a mile to three miles; one entrance, the Lymoon Pass, being only about a quarter of a mile wide.\n\nPhysical Aspect. The island consists of a broken ridge or \"hog's back\" of mountainous bills running from W.N.W. to E.S.E. at an average height of about 1,000 feet; but from this ridge and its spurs various conical mountains are elevated to the height of 1,500 to 2,000 feet above the sea, and very precipitous. The whole island indeed rises abruptly from the ocean, particularly on the north face. There are a few narrow vallies and deep ravines through which the sea occasionally bursts, or which serve as conduits for the mountain torrents; but on the north side of the island, especially where the town of Victoria is built, the rocky ridge approaches close to the sea, and it was only by hewing through this ridge that a street or road could be made to connect the straggling town of Victoria, which stretches along the water edge for nearly four miles, although only comprising about 60 European houses and several Chinese huts and bazaars. Here and there, on the tops of some isolated hills or along the precipitous slopes of the mountains, some houses have been constructed, but the rugged, broken, and abrupt precipices and deep rocky ravines will ever effectually prevent the formation at Victoria of any concentrated town adapted for mutual protection, cleanliness, and comfort. Hong Kong cannot be said to possess any vegetation; a few goats with difficulty find pasturage. After the heavy rains of May, June, July, and August, the hills assume somewhat of a greenish hue, like a decayed Stilton cheese; but the whitey-brown or red-streaked ridges, with the scattered masses of black rocks, give a most uninviting and desolate aspect to the island, which is unrelieved by the adjacent main land, whose physical features are precisely similar to that of Hong Kong, the mountains' tops and sides presenting in many places the appearance of a negro streaked with leprosy.\n\nPage 12\n\nGeology.There is no igneous formation in Hong Kong; the island partakes of the same geological character as the whole south coast of China, excepting that it seems of older formation. The structure may be briefly described as consisting of decomposed coarse granite intermixed with strata of a red disintegrating sandstone crumbling into a stiff ferruginous-looking clay. Here and there huge boulder-stones, which gunpowder will not blast, may be seen imbedded in a stiff pudding earth, or they are strewed over the tops and sides of the mountains. Gneiss and felspar are found in fragments. That the granite is rotten, and passing like dead animal and vegetable substances into a putrescent state, is evidenced from the crumbling of the apparently solid rock beneath the touch, and from the noxious vapour or nitrogen which it yields when the sun strikes fervidly on it after rain. On examining the sites of houses in Victoria whose foundations were being excavated in the sides of the hills, the strata appeared like a richly prepared compost, emitting a fetid odour of the most sickening nature, and which at night must prove a deadly poison. This strata quickly absorbs any quantity of rain, which it returns to the surface in the nature of a pestiferous mineral gas. The position of the town of Victoria, which may be likened to the bottom of a crater with a lake, prevents the dissipation of this gas, while the geological formation favours the retention of a morbific poison on the surface, to be occasionally called into deadly activity. There is no extent of marsh on the island capable of generating miasm, but the heavy rains are annually washing large portions of the mountains through deep ravines into the bay, and thus continually exposing a fresh rotten surface to the sun's rays, and preserving a focus of disease which will finally become endemic. Vast quantities of the silt from the hills are being deposited along the shores of the harbour; owing to this circumstance, and to the rapid receding of the tides from this coast, the bay is becoming shoaler every day; the average depth is only four to five fathoms, except in the stream, where there is six to seven fathoms. In no great interval of time the harbour of Hong Kong will be too shoal in many places for large vessels.\n\nPage 13\n\nClimate. It is difficult to convey by thermometrical registers an accurate idea of the climate of any place. The range of the thermometer will not indicate the pressure of the atmosphere; the barometer in or near the tropics is of little utility as an index; the hygrometer imperfectly shows the quantity of rain which is in solution; while the height of the surrounding land, its configuration, the nature of the soil, the extent and quality of the vegetation, the exposure to the sea, and the prevailing winds, all influence what is comprised under the word \"Climate.\" In some respects the whole coast of China partakes of the climatic characteristics of the opposite coast of the American continents, particularly as regards the extremes of temperature, and its depressing influence on mental or bodily exertion.\n\nFor six months in the year, April to September, the heat varies from 80° to 90° F.; but occasionally during the other six months the heat is also very great, the thermometer having been known to stand at 80° F. on Christmas-day. The island being on the verge of the tropics, is subject to the extremes of the torrid and temperate zones. Even on the same day the range of mercury in the thermometer is very great, and the vicissitudes are exceedingly trying to the European constitution.\n\nBut neither the range from heat to cold, nor the quantity of moisture in the atmosphere, will adequately convey an idea of the effects that this climate is capable of producing on the human frame.\n\nDuring April and part of May, when the sun is approaching rapidly from the Equator, there is a dry, burning heat, with a cloudless sky; but towards the end of May, and throughout June, July, August, and part of September, the rain descends in torrents, with a force and continuance, such as I have never seen in India, Africa, Australasia, or any other part of the world. The clouds pour down one vast sheet of water, washing away hills and rocks, surrounding the island with deep ravines, and saturating the soft, porous, putrescent strata, to the extent of many feet, with daily renewed moisture. In the intervals of rain a nearly vertical sun acts with an intense evaporating power, and a noxious steam or vapour rises from the fetid soil, yielding a gas of a most sickly and deleterious nature, exactly such as I experienced on the coast of Africa in 1824, when I was seized with an \"earth fever,\" while in H. M. service, from the effects of which I, with great difficulty, recovered, but of which most of my brother officers perished. This morbific gas does not arise from vegetable or animal decomposition. There is none on the island of any extent. Decomposed mineral substances yield an aëriform poison, under some circumstances, of a but more deadly nature than either of the other kingdoms of nature. This gas does not rise more than a few feet from the earth; it slowly mingles with the surrounding atmosphere, and when not causing immediate illness produces a depressing effect on mind and body, which undermines and destroys the strongest constitutions.\n\nMilitary and naval men who have served in Africa and India feel the effects of the sun in Hong Kong in a manner never before experienced. Even at Macao, only 40 miles west of Hong Kong, Europeans may walk about the whole day in the month of July, when to do so at Hong Kong would be attended with almost certain death. Neither the Indian Sepoys, Malays, nor Chinese can endure the climate so well as Europeans, whose stamina they do not possess. The Chinese deem it a dangerous experiment to prolong their abode in the island beyond a certain time. They have ever viewed Hong Kong as injurious to health and fatal to life. The Europeans who survive a brief residence in this climate, generally get a lassitude of frame, and an irritability of fibre, which destroys the spring of existence. A malign influence operates on the system in a most distressing manner, which is not removed by a return to Europe; on the contrary, the sufferers frequently die in England soon after their arrival.\n\nDiseases and Mortality.-The prevailing disease of Hong Kong is a fever combining the character of the African and West India fevers. It was at first supposed to be epidemic, but it has now become endemic, and may be assumed to be the fixed malady of the island. Diarrhoea and dysentery form the next most immediately fatal class of diseases; but intermittent fever or ague destroys health gradually. Last year the strength per annum of European and native troops was 1,526, and the number who passed through the hospital in year amounted to 7,893; thus on an average, each man went through the hospital more than five times in the year. Of the diseases with which they were afflicted, 4,069 were fevers, 762 diarrhoeas, 497 dysenteries, and 180 were pulmonic complaints. The total number of deaths, out of 1,526 men, was 440, or 1 in 3¼. The fatal fever cases were 155; ditto, diarrhoea, 80; ditto, dysentery, 137. The destruction of life since our occupation of Hong Kong has been enormous. Last year the deaths among the troops in the island amounted to 1 in 3; at Chusan, to 1 in 29; and at Koolungsoo, to 1 in 12. Her Majesty's 98th Regiment lost at Hong Kong, in 21 months, 257 men by death. But in this and other regiments, it is not merely the deaths which indicate disease and a pernicious climate; it is the great number of men invalided, and constantly unfit for duty. One half the men of a company are frequently unable to attend the parade; out of 100 men there are sometimes not more than five or six men fit for duty.",

If this be done, a few years will determine whether it be possible to create any trade, or induce any resort to Hong Kong. Large Government establishments, and an immense outlay of the public money for the last three years have produced no beneficial result; but the opium traders, and those who choose to resort thither, have a voice in the management of the affairs of the colony. There can scarcely be less general trade, less prosperity, less security to life and property, than now exists, with a large garrison on shore and a fleet in the harbour.\n\nIf there were any one advantage, political, commercial, financial, or religious, present or prospective, derivable to England from the existing establishments at Hong Kong, there would be some justification for the expense now being incurred, and for the great annual sacrifices of life; but when such advantages do not exist, it is worse than folly to persist in a course begun in error, and which, if continued, must eventually end in national loss and general disappointment.\n\nHong Kong, July 1844.\n\n(2.)\n\nR. M. Martin.\n\nDISSENTIENT on the Proposition for Licensing the Retail and Consumption of OPIUM\n\nin this Colony, on the following grounds\n\n*\n\n1st. Because the consumption of opium is not necessary to the subsistence and health of man, and is therefore a vicious indulgence.\n\n2d. Because the use of opium is not only a vice in itself, but the parent of many other vices; and whoever indulges in opium never ceases its use until poverty and death\n\nensue.\n\n3d. Because it is no justification to say, that as gin, beer, wine, and other fermented liquors are stimulants, attended with pernicious consequences when used continuously in excess, that therefore the use of opium may also be licensed by Government. The experience of civilized nations has shown that fermented liquors are advantageous to the healthful energy of man; but no experience has shown that opium is beneficial to the body or mind of man individually or collectively.\n\n4th. Because no Government ought to make private vice a source of public revenue.\n\n5th. Because, independent of the foregoing and other considerations, the peculiar position in which England at present stands towards the Chinese government on this subject, the strong feeling entertained by a very large and influential portion of the British community at home respecting the sale of opium in China, and the risk which his Excellency incurs of creating an unfavourable impression against his government, without any corresponding fiscal advantage to the State, renders it unadvisable to license the consumption of opium in this colony.\n\nDesirous of earnestly and faithfully advising his Excellency, these remarks are offered for the Governor's consideration with great respect.\n\n26 November 1844.\n\n(3.)\n\nR. M. Martin,\n\nTRANSLATION of a GRANT OF TREATY of PRIVILEGES conceded by the Emperor of Japan to the English, A.D. 1613.\n\n[Original in the Firogane or Cursive character.]\n\nImprimis.-Wee give free licence to the subjects of the King of Great Britain, viz., Sir Thomas Smith, Governor and Company of the East India merchants and adventurers, for ever safely to come into any of our ports of the Empire of Japan, with their shippes and merchandize, without any hindrance to them or their goods; and to abide, buy, sell, and barter, according\n\n[ 25 ]\n\naccording to their own manner, with all nations; to tarry here as long as they think good, and depart at their pleasure.\n\nAppendix.\n\nTranslation of a\n\nItem the 2d.-Wee grant unto them freedom of custom for all such merchandize as either\n\nGrant or Treaty of\n\nnow they have brought, or hereafter shall bring into our kingdom, or shall from hence transport to any foreign part; and do authorize those shippes that hereafter shall arrive and come from England, to proceed to present sale of their commodities without further coming or sending up to our court.\n\nItem the 3d. If any of their shippes shall happen to be in danger of shipwreck, wee will our subjects not only to assist them, but that such parts of shippe and goods as shall be saved be returned to their captain, or Cape merchant, or their assignees; and that they shall or may build one house or more for themselves in any part of our empire where they shall think fittest, and at their departure to make sale thereof at their pleasure.\n\nItem the 4th.If any of the English merchants or others shall depart this life within our dominions, the goods of the deceased shall remain at the dispose of the Cape merchant; and that all offences committed by them shall be punished by the said Cape merchant according to his discretion, and our laws to take no hold of their persons or goods.\n\nItem the 5th, Wee will that yee our subjects trading with them for any of their commodities pay them for the same, according to agreement, without delay or return of their goods again unto them.\n\nItem the 6th. For such commodities as they have now brought or shall hereafter bring, fitting for our service and proper use, wee will that no arrest be made thereof; but that the price be made with the Cape merchant, according as they may sell to others, and present payment upon the delivery of the goods.\n\nItem the 7th. If in discovery of other countries for trade, and return of their shippes they shall need meat or victuals, wee will that yee our subjects furnish them for their money as their needs shall require.\n\nItem the 8th. And without any other passporte, they shall and may set out to the northward upon discovery of Yead Yo, or any other part in or about our empire.\n\nFrom our Castle at Surunga, this first day of the ninth month, and in the eighteenth year of our dairy, according to our computation.\n\nSealed with our broad seal and underwritten,\n\n(4.)\n\nMinna Mouttano, Yei.

Martin,\n\nHer Majesty's Treasurer, China.\n\n(9.)\n\nREPORT on the TEA TRADE, transmitted to Her Majesty's Government from China, in July 1845.By R. M. Martin.\n\nTHE traffic in an innutritious herb, grown almost solely in one district of Asia, and in a country hitherto isolated from the western nations, is one of the most remarkable illustrations of the enterprise and energy of modern commerce. A trade involving British capital to the extent of about 10,000,000l. sterling, furnishing regular employment to about 60,000 tons of first-class English-built shipping, contributing nearly 5,000,000l. sterling of annual revenue to the Exchequer, and influencing materially the morals and sobriety of the nation, deserves investigation in detail, as regards its rise, progress, and present condition.\n\nThe tea plant, although found in different parts of the eastern hemisphere, is probably indigenous to China, or Japan, where it is extensively cultivated. The earliest record to be found of the use of tea is in the records of the Moorish historians and travellers in the end of the eighth century, at which period the Mahommedans had free ingress and residence in China, subject to very few restrictions.\n\nIbn Batuta mentions that the emperor received the revenues from salt; that paper money, bearing the government stamp, was current in the country; and that the general drink of the people was prepared by immersing the leaves of a small plant in hot water, which was used medicinally as well as for correcting the bad properties of the water.\n\nSoliman, an Arabian merchant, who visited China, A. D. 850, describes \"sah\" (tea), as the usual beverage of the people.\n\nTexeira, a Spaniard, in 1600, saw dried leaves (of tea) at Malacca, which were in use among the Chinese. Olearius, in 1633, found the use of tea pretty general among the Persians, who procured it from China by means of the Usbeck Tartars. The Russian ambassador (Stawkaw) to the court of the Mogul Chau Shau Attyn, partook of tea, and at his departure he was offered it for the Czar Michael Romanoff, which he refused, not knowing of what use it would be in Russia.\n\nOf the first introduction of tea into Europe we know but little. In 1517, Emmanuel, King of Portugal, sent a fleet of eight ships to China, and an ambassador to Pekin, who obtained permission to open a trade; but it was not until after the formation of the Dutch East India Company in 1602, that the use of tea became known on the continent, and although the enterprising Hollanders paid considerable attention to it, as an article of commerce, the consumption increased but little, for in 1670 it was unknown in Dort.\n\n[ 5 ]\n\nThe Dutch, in their second voyage to China, bought a good deal of tea, at from 8d. to 10d. per pound (the price at the present day), which, although of a middling quality, sold in Paris for 30 livres a pound; and for some years the best Japanese tea, esteemed as much better than that of China, brought from 100 to 200 livres per pound in France, until the use of coffee and chocolate became fashionable and general.\n\nThe first authentic notice to be found of tea in England, is in an Act of Parliament (12 Car. II, c. 23) A. D. 1660, by which a duty of 8d. per gallon was laid on all tea made and sold in coffee-houses; and by an Act framed in the same year the duties of excise on malt liquor, cyder, perry, meal, spirits, or strong waters, coffee, tea, sherbet, and chocolate were settled on the king for life. In the diary of Mr. Pepys, secretary of the Admiralty, there is found under date 25th September 1661, the following memorandum relative to tea \"I sent for a cup of tea, a Chinese drink, of which I had never drank before.\"\n\nIn 1662, Charles the Second married the Princess Catherine of Portugal, who it is said was fond of tea, having been accustomed to it in her own country, hence it became fashionable in England. Waller, in a birth-day ode on her Majesty, ascribes the introduction of the herb to the queen in the following lines:\n\n\"The best of queens and best of herbes we owe\n\ndid show\n\nTo that bold nation who the\n\nway\n\nTo the fair region where the sun doth rise, Whose rich productions we so justly prize.\"\n\nThe same poet attributes an inspiring power to the Chinese leaf:\n\n\"The muses' friend, tea, does our fancy aid,\n\nRepress those vapours which the head invade.\"\n\nIn 1660 tea was sold in England at three guineas per pound. The following copy of an advertisement in 1680, shows the price of the leaf, and the mode of vending it to the public:\n\n\"These are to give notice to persons of quality, that a small parcel of most excellent tea is by accident fallen into the hands of a private person to be sold; but that none may be disappointed, the lowest price is thirty shillings a pound, and not any to be sold under a pound weight, for which they are desired to bring a convenient box. Enquire at Mr. Thomas Eagle's, at the King's Head, in St. James's Market.”—London Gazette, 16 December 1680.\n\nIn 1666 Lords Arlington and Ossory brought a quantity of tea from Holland; its price in England then was 60s. per pound. About this period, the East India Company being desirous of presenting a rarity to his Majesty, procured 22 lbs. of tea, which was thought a valuable offering to royalty.\n\nHeretofore the small quantity used in England was obtained from the Continent; for in 1634, some English ships having visited Canton, a rupture took place between our seamen and the Chinese, and trade was for some time interdicted; but in 1668 the Court of Directors, in the despatch to their factories at Bantam in Java, ordered them to send home by their ships 100 lbs, weight of the best tea they could get. And accordingly, in 1669, the East India Company's first invoice of tea was received, amounting to two canisters of 143 lbs. Such was the commencement of a trade which, by the most judicious management, has now risen to an importation of upwards of 50,000,000 lbs. weight. That a careful proportioning of the supply to the demand was absolutely necessary, will be evident from the following fact, which at this early period operated as a warning to the Company, and has since proved highly beneficial to the commerce. In 1678 the East India Company imported 4,713 lbs. of tea; but this then large quantity completely glutted the market, for the imports of tea during the ensuing six years amounted in all to only 318 lbs. In 1680 the Company opened a direct trade with China.\n\nIn 1689 the old mode of levying the duty on tea, viz. by the quantity made in the coffee-houses, being found very uncertain as well as vexatious, an Act of 1 Gul. & Mar., sess. 2, c. 6, fixed a custom duty of 5s. a pound, together with the former sum of five per cent. on the value.\n\nFor some time the consumption of tea slowly increased in England, in consequence of the high rate of duty, which was sometimes as high as 200 per cent. on the sale price.\n\nA considerable degree of smuggling arose, which was only put down by lowering the taxation. During the years 1697, 1698, and 1699, the East India Company imported on an average 20,000 lbs. of tea annually. In 1700 the importation was augmented to 60,000 lbs. a year, the average price of tea being 16s. per pound. In 1721 the importation of tea into England exceeded for the first time 1,000,000 lbs.; and at the September sale in 1728, the quantity put up for sale was 769,104 lbs., the duty on which amounted to 153,820l. sterling.\n\nThe bill of cargo of the Cæsar, which arrived from China 17th May 1726, has entered in it 358,000 lbs. of tea, the duty on which was 71,620l. sterling. Since the commencement of the present century the annual consumption of tea in the United Kingdom has increased by upwards of 20,000,000 of pounds, while its use during the same period has been decreasing in Europe and America. In the space of 100 years, from 1710 to 1810, there were sold at the East India Company's sales 750,219,016 lbs. of tea, the value of which was 129,804,595l. sterling. Of this quantity of tea 116,470,675 lbs. were re-exported. Since the commencement of the present century, 1,385,949,566 lbs. of tea have been sold in England,",

        "content_text": "J\n\nit. I identified it as the remains of the late Captain Da Costa. I myself took a walk on Sunday evening. I went in a westerly direction from Stanley towards Wong-ma-kok.** My way lay along the beach. I must have been within 800 or 900 yards from the spot where the spear-heads were found above referred to. I did not then see anything to attract my attention, except that I observed two large boats with boarding-nettings up. They appeared to keep aloof from the other small boats about. The Stanley people had noticed these two boats, and were at a loss to account for their appearance there.\n\n(6)\n\nTHOMAS MACDONNELL, Lieutenant Ceylon Rifle Regiment.\n\nERM-AYAK, Wong-I, was table-boy to the late Captain Da Costa. Unimportant—knows nothing.]\n\n(7)\n\nJUNG ACFORT, groom—I was horsekeeper to the late Captain Da Costa. I accompanied Dr Tweddell on Sunday night to look for my master. I visited the village of Wong-ma-kok. On returning from said village, when about as far as the Stanley barracks are from the village of Stanley, I picked up a three-pronged spear. I cannot say that it had marks of blood on it. I did not notice that the turf was stained with blood near where this spearhead was found. The night was dark. I do not think that cries of distress could have been heard from the spot by the villagers. I have lived with the late Captain Da Costa for three months. I have never been in the village of Wong-ma-kok before Sunday last.\n\n(8)\n\n3d March, 1849.\n\nCHARLES MAY Sworn, a Superintendent of Police. Having received intelligence on Monday morning the 25th of February, that Captain Da Costa and Lieutenant Dwyer were missing from the quarters at Stanley, I proceeded thither with a party of Police and Soldiers accompanied by Mr Caldwell. A soldier of the Ceylon Rifles mentioned that he had seen some drops of blood on a footpath. I accompanied him and perceived the blood distinctly on a path which I subsequently found led from the village of Wong-ma-kok to a fishing hut on the west side of the peninsula. I requested Assistant Superintendent Caldwell to trace the path downward, and I proceeded upward, and early observed the track of blood in single drops at average intervals of a yard apart for above 400 yards—in three or four places three or four drops were close together. The track of blood ended where the path entered between two low stone walls, leading to, and about 100 yards from the village. I searched carefully right and left, and in the path, but saw no blood. I then proceeded through the village, and at the east corner perceived several drops of blood on a stone. A path continued by this stone to the place where two spear heads were stated to me to have been found; this was about 200 yards on the east side of the village. For about 100 yards along this path near to the village there is a thick jungle, and a fire was then burning from the jungle to about thirty yards of the spot where the spear heads were found, and extended backward for more than one mile. I searched on each side the path and round about where the spear heads were found, but discovered no traces of blood, or of a struggle. Before I had entered the village I saw a man on the hill above, to whom I beckoned, and he came to me. I took him into custody, and ascertained his name to be Lo-asee-zoong. I examined his person and found a wound on the right side of the head—such a wound as would be caused by a heavy blow from a stick; had been recently inflicted, as upon pressing it, blood oozed out. On the string or band fastening up his trousers [string produced] I saw several marks of blood; also several spots of blood on his ankles, near the heels. He represented, by words and action, that this wound was occasioned by his falling on a stone. I and Mr Caldwell searched the village, and in three houses we saw wearing apparel hanging up, as if recently washed; they were scarcely dry. A piece of cloth used as a towel was hanging up in the house at the east corner; I saw spots of blood upon it, and evident signs of blood having been nearly washed out.\n\nThe next morning I landed at the fishing-hut accompanied by the Chief Magistrate Mr Hillier. We saw the lowest drop of blood on the footpath before mentioned, and examined another path diverging to the left. On this path I saw three drops of blood at some distance apart: the path led to a cave formed by large rocks resting on each other, in which several bundles of bedding and clothing, and a box containing clothing and some silver ornaments were found by me. A bundle containing clothing was found by Mr Hillier on the top of the rocks; and upon Police Constable Crevy examining it, a jacket on which were visible several marks of blood was found. I then proceeded up the path leading to the village before mentioned, and on which, about 90 yards in length, the track of blood was clearly seen. A very minute examination was made, and in front of the houses in the village three spots of blood were seen by me; and in the path leading from the village to the place where the spears were found I saw several drops of blood. I received information that blood had been seen on some rocks near the water, and upon proceeding there, found the spot to be about 300 yards from the fishing-hut; the path diverging from the path leading to the village, led by the place. There were large marks of blood in four or five places, as if a body had lain there some time, and on one prominent point of rock, there were marks of a body being dragged over.\n\nThe party were about leaving the place, having previously had a search made by means of boat-hooks in the sea near, when a broken spear found at the village fell from the Police-boat into the water: the boatmen were endeavoring to recover this, when the body of Mr Da Costa came to the surface and was brought ashore. When I arrived at Stanley on the morning of Monday the 26th February, three persons had been apprehended, and upon being questioned through the interpretation of Mr Caldwell, the first examined, Lo-akow, stated, that he lived in the village of Wong-ma-kok with his father; that he was at home the previous day. He did not see any Europeans, or any strangers in the village. I showed him some spears and spear-heads which had been found, and some broken sticks or handles. He identified a spear with a single blade as belonging to Tay-apo, but that it was kept in his father's house, a three-pronged spear as belonging to Chea-asam, who resided in the village, and a knife or clipper as belonging to Chea-thing.\n\nThe second prisoner, Lo-yet-show, stated, he lived in the village, but was from home fishing until dark; he did not see any Europeans or strangers that day near the village. He said the two spears exhibited to him were the property of Chea-asam, the knife or copper the property of Chea-apo, and the spear-ends to belong to Chow-asam.\n\nOne we found a towel on which were marks of blood, but it had been washed; there were several pieces of wet clothing found in one or two houses. On arriving at the village I found Lo-asee in custody of Mr May. I observed a wound on the right side of his head, which, on being questioned by me at the request of Mr May, he stated he received in falling upon a stone on the hill. The following day, having been informed that blood had been seen on some rocks near the water, I went with the Chief Magistrate and Mr May, and saw four or five spots† of blood on some rocks a short distance from the water. We made strict search, both on shore and in the water by means of boat-hooks, but discovered nothing. As we were about embarking, a portion of a bamboo pike on being passed into the boat fell into the water, and the man in the bows with a boat-hook trying to recover it, hooked up something white. I desired him to lift it up higher, and on his doing so I found it was the body of Captain Da Costa; I immediately called out. The swell being rather high, I went a short way into the water to secure the body; a rope was passed at it, and it was taken out of the water. I was requested by Mr May to question two boys and an old man whom we found in custody at the barracks on the morning of the 26th; the two former gave different statements as to whom certain spears and spear-heads, which were shown them, belonged. They all three denied having seen any Europeans in their village on the 25th.\n\nWhen the body of the late Captain Da Costa was taken out of the water, I felt for his watch, but it was not on his person, nor had he any rings on his fingers. On Monday, when I arrived at Wong-ma-kok, I observed that a fire was raging immediately behind the village. A spot was pointed out to me where some spear-heads were found a short distance from the village; the grass around was on fire. When I arrived at Wong-ma-kok, Mr May had an old man in custody, named Lo-Assee; he had a cut on his head, which he said he received in falling against a stone. I saw marks of blood on his waist-band, and also on his neck. The five men seized in the fishing-hut or boat might have seen the body of Captain Da Costa thrown into the water from their boat, but I think not. If it had been done in the day time, but I think not. If it had been done in the night time.\n\nI acted as Interpreter to Mr May when he questioned several prisoners that had been seized on Sunday at the village. I have heard the statement made by Mr May, and fully corroborate it, as to the questions put, and answers given by the Chinese.\n\nD. R. CALDWELL.\n\n(11)\n\nMR CALDWELL further states, that the following prisoners had been seized before his arrival at Stanley, and were landed eventually to the Police,—Lo-akow, Lo-yet-show, Chui-assey, Lo-assee alias Lo-yang-ghing. The following five men were seized in a fishing-hut near Wong-ma-kok,—Cauchi fook, Chuw-fook-tong, Cheng-keen-ee, Chan-we-tong, Chun-no-fat, Lo-lee-shi; the wife of Chai-apo, was brought into Victoria on Thursday night last by Police Constable Mars; Woog-sannie was brought into Victoria yesterday (Friday) by an Indian Constable.\n\n(12)\n\nLO-YANG-SHING alias Lo-asse, is arraigned as a prisoner.\n\n(Mr Caldwell on the request of the Jurymen is sworn in as Interpreter.\n\nThe nature of the preceding depositions are explained to him. He is duly cautioned, being informed that whatever he may say, it may be taken down in writing, and used as evidence against him at any future time.] He now states,—I am a native of Namchong, in Kwang-sheen. I am a husbandman, and have resided for many years in the village of Wong-ma-kok, on the island of Hongkong. On the 3d day of this month (corresponding with our Sunday the 25th February,) two English Officers came to the village of Wong-ma-kok about dark. They went into my house; myself was there, my wife was cooking, and my daughter-in-law was keeping the door up. One of the officers, the shorter one of the two, embraced my daughter-in-law, made motions with my hand for him to desist. The girl cried out; my wife went up and pulled the officer away. I also begged them to go away, when the tall officer struck me with a walking-stick on the head—a common stick. [produces a cicatrix on the right side of the head, which seems to be the result of the blow inflicted.] The villagers hearing the cries of my daughter-in-law, came in, and tried to get the officers away. As the villagers came into my house, they were struck by the officers. My head at this time was bleeding; blood came into my eyes; I could not see. A villager standing next door to me, named Chui-apo, with six of his men, came in; they armed themselves with spears; a conflict ensued between these men and the English officers. When it was dark. I could not see the issue of the encounter. The disturbance arose principally because Chui-apo and his men would not submit to the treatment displayed towards my daughter-in-law.\n\nI did not interfere. I think that was wrong. The names of Chui-apo's men are as follows,—Chow-ping, a native of Kwai-shien. Chui-abing, native of Nautow, Cheng-asam, from Kweishen, Chui-assey alias Chung-kek-sing of [illegible]. The names of the others I do not know. Chui-apo has lived in the village for 1 year; he was a sailor, and returned to his native place, San-chuen in Kwei-skeen. Hoy-yeen-ping has been in the village but one month; he has a license from the Government to make gunpowder there. Some of the others have been residents of the village for two or three years. They did not till the ground. They eat grass, and sometimes go out fishing. They are not regularly employed by Chui-apo. Seven or eight hundred took part in the scuffle with the English officers. It first began in my house; 5 or 6 men first entered. Their names I have given before. I do not know the others by name. The English officers did not fall in my house, but they were wounded there. I did not see any blood on the ground in my house. The officers rushed out of the house, but were pursued by the assailants. The name of my daughter-in-law is Lo-chow-sing; she is aged 18 years. She was taken from the village on Sunday night—at all events I have not seen her since. The officers used to visit the village usually. I never knew them to converse with my daughter-in-law during any of these visits. The two men on Sunday, before coming into my house, had entered Chui-apo's, where they had interfered with women, but they were driven out. In the house, during the struggle, the tall English officer wrested a spear from Chui-apo, knocked him down, and kicked him. In aiming a blow at Chui-apo, the spear broke. I do not know whether Chui-apo was wounded.\n\nI can identify the spear that was seen, who had been away from the village fishing for the day. [Several spears are then shown to the prisoner, and he identifies the broken one.] He identified a broken stick which he said belonged to Chow-chong, who broke it in beating a cow shortly after it had calved; he accounted for several spots of blood upon the handle from the latter circumstance.\n\nThe third prisoner, Chuy-see, said he foretold good and bad weather; he had been at the village of Wong-ma-kok lying with the Lo family about one month; he was in the house all day, and saw no Europeans or strangers. The village of Wong-ma-kok is situated on a level space of about five acres, near the top of the peninsula between Stanley and Ty-tam bay. There are four families living there, the heads of which are named respectively, Chou-sheeng, Tau-agar, Tai-apo, and Lo-see. These latter particulars I ascertain from the Assessment Return for Police Rate. I have compared the head of a spear found on the east side of the village by Police Constable Marshall, with the handle of a spear found by Lieutenant Maxwell 95th Regiment, and find the broken parts to correspond; on the handle there are marks of blood.\n\nWhen the body of the late Captain Da Costa was taken out of the water, there was not any watch on his person, nor had he any rings on his fingers.\n\nCHARLES MAY.\n\nWILLIAM ROWLAND MAXWELL being sworn, states.—I am a Lieutenant in H. M. 95th Regiment. On Tuesday last, the 27th February, I visited Wong-ma-kok. In the village I found the shaft of a spear, apparently had recently broken. I found it thrust into a bundle of hay. The shaft now produced is the one I found; it bore marks of blood.\n\nWILLIAM ROWLAND MAXWELL, 95th Regiment.\n\n(10)\n\nwas found by the party of Dr Tweddell, a 3-pronged spear.] it was after the spear was broke that the officers shed out. When I was wounded, my wife shouted out, \"Help, help. save my life.\" The villagers then rushed in, but they did not come armed; they pulled the officers out, and in attempting to do so, they were struck with sticks. The villagers then got spears. The officers did not make any resistance before the conflict ensued and before the spear was broken to escape. In the house of Chui-apo there were two women, one aged 16, a married girl, daughter-in-law of Chui-apo; the other was an old woman his wife. I overheard the result of the conflict, nor do I know what has become of the officers. The Stanley officers set fire to the grass. Late on Sunday a party of officers and men came to the village and enquired what had become of the two officers. I replied that they had been interfering, and a disturbance had taken place, but that I did not know where they had gone to.\" I suspected that the two English officers had been killed, from the way they were fighting, but I was afraid to say so to those that came in search. My eldest son was outside my house during the conflict; he afterwards returned, but did not say anything. I have not had communication, nor yet seen any of the villagers who took part in the conflict.\n\n(13)\n\nLo-yang-sing, after having been duly cautioned in a similar manner to the last deponent, states,—I am a son of the last deponent, and reside at the village of Wong-ma-kok. On Sunday last, I remember two English officers coming to the village; at the time I was not in my father's house, having out-door occupation. I saw them going into several houses looking after women, and into my father's house amongst the rest. On my entering my father's house, I saw one of the officers embracing my sister-in-law; my father interfered, and desired him to desist. He would not; my father tried to pull him away, but could not. The villagers then came in; they were not called, they came of their own accord. They were then armed with spears and knives. They fought with the officers in the house. A spear was wrested from Chui-apo by the tall officer. I did not see any wound inflicted by this officer. I saw him aim a blow at one of the villagers.\n\nDANIEL RICHARD CALDWELL Sworn, states,—I am Assistant Superintendent of Police. On the morning of the 26th ultimo (Monday), in consequence of information received at the Station that two officers were missing from Stanley, I accompanied Mr May to that place for the purpose of making search. One of the men of the Rifles having stated that he had observed spots of blood on a footpath, he took us to it. I was requested by Mr May to trace westward, that is down the hill towards Stanley bay. I observed single spots of blood along the footpath, about the distance of three and four feet apart. In some places several spots were together. I traced the blood to within about 50 yards from a fishing-hut, and about 100 yards from the water. I went to the hut, which I examined. I found Chinese there, whom I took into custody and sent to the barracks in charge of some of the Rifles. I afterwards examined a sampan in the water close to the fishing-hut. I examined it, but found nothing suspicious about her. I then retraced the footpath, and observed the single spots of blood all the way to within a short distance of the village of Wong-ma-kok. I searched the houses with Mr May. In one house I had been frequently at the village.\n\nQuery—Swears—Ed.C.M.\n\n11\n\naway, saying it was improper for them as other relatives with the villagers.

G. BONHAM. \n\n(Signed) \n\nCarried forward 32,371–71—2- \n\n146",

From His Excellency Mr Bonham, to Sü, Imperial Commissioner.\n\nVICTORIA, HONGKONG, 20th September, 1849.\n\nI have already upon several occasions addressed Your Excellency regarding Pirates; but as long as they remained at a distance and did not interfere with British vessels, I did not consider myself bound to interpose. Lately, however, acts of piracy have been more than ordinarily frequent in the vicinity of this Colony one Junk, the property of a British subject, has been seized off Hainan, and there have been rumours that a British vessel, long missing, had been captured by the Pirates in that neighbourhood. A vessel-of-war was in consequence despatched to make search; and on the 5th September, in Tinpak bay, fell in with a fleet of Pirate Junks, of which she destroyed five. Upon her report, a second vessel was scut upon the 8th, which also destroyed five. These vessels were undoubtedly piratical, and formed part of the fleet of Shap-'ng-tsai. They were pointed out as such by some of the Chinese whom they had detained at the above place, and the Chinese authorities on the Coast, who are all much gratified at our success, also made a statement to that effect.\n\nIt is clear that your Naval Authorities have not the power to destroy, or disperse, these marauders. Now that they have come to the vicinity of this Island, I have determined to take steps for the despatch of vessels to scour the seas in all directions, more especially as I understand that Tsu-a-pò, who murdered two English Officers in the month of March last, is a leading man amongst them. I have twice called Your Excellency's attention to this outrage, committed by one of your own countrymen, who afterwards fled from my jurisdiction. He must now be in that of Your Excellency; nevertheless nothing appears to have been done towards his apprehension; and if, in the attempts which I myself am making to arrest him, accidents should happen through ignorance on our part, the blame of these must attach to Your Excellency, for not having earlier caused this miscreant to be apprehended.\n\nI am aware that there may be some difficulty in effecting his capture; but I feel sure that, if Your Excellency would take the usual steps to secure him, it would be in your power to send him to me to be tried and punished.\n\nThis murder took place 5 months ago; but it is still fresh in my memory, and will remain so until satisfaction has been afforded for so abominable an outrage.\n\nAccept the assurances, &c.\n\nS. G. BONHAM.\n\nto silperde, and if possible to des destroy, this Band of marauders, you would be rendering very useful servico of this the interests. to the Colony as well as to the cause of Humanity.\n\nI have Ac.

She arrived at noon on the 28th, found that they had sacked the village, and gone to! Tysami,* off which place she saw them about 11 P. M.-fourteen sail in all the village at this place was also smouldering. The brig continued to chase them the whole night, but the wind was light and she was long in approaching them, until, on the morning of the 29th, an English merchant steamer coming up, towed her close to a large junk, which, going into shoal water, the brig's boats attacked and boarded. Two forts on the shore also opened fire upon the junk; and her crew, as soon as she was boarded, blew her up, destroying some 90 of themselves, while a British officer and 3 seamen were killed, and seven seamen injured. Of the pirate's squadron, three vessels, abandon- ed by their crews, were rendered useless by our people; the remaining ten got away and were pursued by the brig. On the 30th, the wounded were sent back in the merchant steamer to Hong- kong, with a report of all that had taken place to the Naval Commander-in-Chief, by whom orders were instantly given to a large man-of-war steamer to proceed to the spot and assist the brig. These two vessels returned to this harbour on the 4th instant, and announced the total annihilation of Tsu-á-po's fleet, consisting of 23 piratical Junks, averaging 500 tons in burden, and mounting from 12 to 18 guns.\n\n350 Guns had been also destroyed; and two new Junks, on the stocks, at a place in the vicinity; as also two small Dockyards, and a large supply of Naval Stores had been burned. There were besides some 400 pirates killed, and the rest, some 1400, dispersed with arms, indeed, but without any means of continuing to exercise their dangerous vocation.\n\nAs regards Tsu-a-pò, who, as I mentioned in my letter of the 20th ultimo to Your Excellency, I had reason to suppose was a leader amongst these pirates, it is stated by a wounded Chinese who was picked up in the water, that he had been wounded in the encounter and carried off by his followers. There would therefore be, I should imagine, little difficulty in discovering him; and the local authorities of the Coast districts will, I trust, receive immediate orders to search for and seize him; and to lose no time in following up this successful attack upon his band, and utterly exter- minating them.\n\nI have much satisfaction in communicating these particulars to Your Excellency, and take the opportunity of remarking once more, that our success in completely putting down this nuisance, which is even more hurtful to you than to ourselves, would be sure, if I could prevail upon Your Excellency to concert with me those measures of cooperation, the advantage of which I have so often pressed upon your attention, In my communication of 20th ultimo, above referred to, I said \"that I was determined to take steps for the despatel of vessels to scour the seas in all directions;\" and I shall only add that, whether Your Excellency is pleased to cooperate with me or not, I shall accordingly miss no opportunity of destroying these common enemies of mankind, wherever they are to be found in these waters; that the spreading of this evil may be effectually put an end to.\n\nAccept the assurances, &c.\n\nHis Excellency Sü, &o., Imperial High Commissioner, So, &c.\n\n*Probably Shan-mi or Sán-mi.\n\nS.

From information received there, I determined to proceed to Hoi-how in Hainan, inside the shoals, and through the Junk passage, for I found good pilots, and junks with 14 ft. draught going through, and we drew little more than 15 ft.; moreover Shap-ng-tsai had boasted he would go where English ships dared not follow him. This vaunt I determined to belie. We reached Hoi-how on the 13th, and found the Governor General (Ho) whom I visited at the Capital, in great fear of the Pirates, and with a most friendly feeling to the English nation. He immediately ordered a Mandarin named Wong to proceed with me, taking with him 8 War Junks, and I gave him a passage, to prevent delay, on board the Fury.\n\nOn the 16th we reached Chook-shan, which the Pirate Fleet had left 5 days before, and we found the same sad story of towns destroyed, men murdered, and women taken away, that mark his track along the Coast. We fell in with one of his look-out Vessels, which having got into shallow water, was overtaken by the Phlegethon, and destroyed by her boats under the command of Mr Simpson, 1st Officer.\n\nOn the 19th we reached Hoo-nong, his reported haunt, and found he had gone about 12 miles further, and I feared we had lost him; but that invaluable Officer Mr Daniel R. Caldwell impressed me so strongly with the correctness of his information, that I decided on a reconnaissance in the Phlegethon in spite of our shortness of fuel; and proceeding into Chokeum for that purpose, on Saturday morning the 20th, saw 37 of the fleet under weigh. From 7 until 4 P.M., like terriers at a rat-hole we hunted for the Channel. Then a pilot managed to escape from the shore. I proceeded in Phlegethon, with Fury astern, Columbine in tow, over the Bar 14 ft. (mud), and at 4.40 had the pleasure of finding all the ships warmly engaged. At 5.5 Shap-ng-tsai's Junk blew up with a tremendous crash, and at 5.30 they had ceased firing. Before 8 o'clock 27 were in flames, and the squadron in position to blockade the river.\n\nOn the 21st October, the Steamers and Boats destroyed 24 more; and nine of them gave Lieutenant George Hancock in a Paddle-box boat of Fury, assisted by Captain Moore, R.M. and Mr Close, Acting Mate, with Mr Leao, an opportunity of distinguishing himself. Two large Junks turned to bay, to defend the retreat of the rest, but Mr Hancock so handled his boat and her gun, that after an hour and twenty minutes he had beaten them from their guns, and carried them by boarding without loss, and then pursued and destroyed the other 7.\n\nMr Hancock's boldness in attacking, and correct judgment in managing this affair, are worthy of the highest praise; and Captain Moore, R.M., Mr N. N. C. Leao, a Brazilian Lieutenant, and Mr F. A. Close, Acting Mate, gave him the greatest assistance.\n\nOn Monday the 22nd, I proceeded in Phlegethon and Boats to destroy all that were left. We found that the Mandarins had destroyed 4, and we finished 2 others. The low flat islands at the mouth of the river were at times covered with men deserted from the Junks, yet afraid of the Cochin Chinese, who had assembled in great numbers to attack them. The Ships' boats and small-arm men harassed and destroyed many by constant fire of shell and grape, whilst the Cochin Chinese destroyed and captured the rest.\n\nFrom the best information it appears that the Fleet consisted of 64 Vessels of War, which may be classed as follows:-\n\n  \n    Class\n    No.\n    Guns\n    Crew\n  \n  \n    1st\n    1\n    42\n    120\n  \n  \n    2d\n    16\n    28 to 34\n    75 to 80\n  \n  \n    3d\n    42\n    12 to 19\n    40\n  \n  \n    4th\n    5\n    6\n    30\n  \n  \n    Total,\n    64\n    1224\n    3150\n  \n\nOf these, 2 small of the 3d class and 4 of the 4th have escaped with Shap-ng-tsai, but without much ammunition; and the Mandarin assures me he will shortly destroy him—now an easy prey. He took with him about 400 men, so that 1700 having been killed, about 1000 more remain to be finished by the Cochin Chinese, who have already sent some prisoners to the Mandarins.\n\nI shall now proceed to Hongkong with all despatch. I have the pleasure of mentioning the exceeding good conduct of the Officers and Men during these laborious and hazardous operations. Their unanimity, willingness, and cheerfulness have made it a most pleasant service, and no plunder, rapine, or misconduct, has tarnished their honour.\n\nMajor General Wong, the Mandarin, proved himself a gallant, active, and efficient ally, and I trust his own Government may reward him for his good services. To have Commander Willcox with me, is, I feel, to have success. As a friend and an officer he is unequalled, and his ship is in such good order that I believe there is nothing he could not do. His judgment and gallantry are on an equal footing.\n\nMr Niblett of the Phlegethon has handled his ship in a bold and determined manner, and has given me every assistance. As I was frequently obliged to be in the Steamers, the command of this Sloop has devolved upon Lieutenant J. H. Bridges, Senior Lieutenant, and he conducted her in action on the 20th with much ability.\n\nLieutenant Darnell, Senior of the Fury, in command of her boats, has also rendered good service. Captain Moore of the Hastings's marines has assisted me most materially in command of that body. Lieutenant Hancock, and Mr Chambers, Acting Mate, in command of the respective detachments of Hastings's men, have given me much satisfaction, and Mr Rathbone, Midshipman of the Fury, has brought himself into notice for his zeal.\n\nI have also to notice the name of Mr Algernon Wootton, Midshipman, a most promising young Officer, who has acted as my Aide-de-Camp, and been very useful on every occasion.\n\nI have the honour to enclose a List of the Officers employed in the boats*, who I have no doubt would equally have distinguished themselves if they had had the opportunity.\n\nI enclose a Journal of my Proceedings since leaving Hongkong, together with some Hydrographical Remarks compiled by Mr Thomas Kerr, Acting Master of this sloop, which will, I trust, be of service to commerce and navigation in the Gulf of Tonquin, hitherto so little known. Mr Kerr, during all this very hazardous navigation, has proved himself a careful and judicious Officer.\n\nMr D. R. Caldwell of the Police Force has again proved his talent as a linguist, his intimate knowledge of the Chinese character, and the thorough correctness of his information. To him in a great measure our success is to be attributed.\n\nMr Soames, Master of the Hongkong Company's Steam Vessel Canton, did his work well as Pilot, as far as he was acquainted with the Coast.\n\nI have the honour to be, Sir, Your most obedient humble Servant,\n\nJOHN C. DALRYMPLE HAY, Commander.\n\nHis Excellency Rear Admiral Sir FRANCIS A. COLLIER, C.B., K.C.H., Commander-in-Chief, &c., &c., &c.\n\n* See next page,\n\nPage 300\n\nPage 301",

Majestade Fidelíssima para exigir a satisfação que é devida à Sua Soberania atrozmente ofendida, e ultrajada, na pessoa do Seu Representante em Macao. Ainda assim ficava a este Conselho a obrigação de fazer patente todo o procedimento odioso das Autoridades Chinesas, em relação àquele deplorável acontecimento, a fim de estabelecer clara e evidentemente a sua responsabilidade, e fazer ver a má fé, que desde o princípio tem caracterizado sua conduta; porquanto, posto que a ofensa, que dos seus atos resulta, seja mais diretamente dirigida à Soberania de S. Majestade Fidelíssima, por haver sido o atentado cometido na Pessoa do seu imediato Representante na China; ela é com tudo da natureza daquelas, que, por atentatórias do Direito Público das Gentes, não podem deixar de ferir também os interesses não só das Nações que têm relações neste Império, e que são nele representadas, mas os de todas as mais que gozam do benefício da civilização.\n\nOs princípios ofendidos são de eterna razão, e a causa ultrajada, a da humanidade inteira, na qual em geral são diretamente interessadas todas as Nações civilizadas do Mundo inteiro. E pois em desempenho daquela obrigação que o Conselho do Governo da Província de Macao, Timor, e Solor vem hoje publicar o presente Manifesto, com o qual é seu intento oferecer à consideração dos Representantes das Potências estrangeiras na China,—dos Governos de todas as Nações Amigas e aliadas de S. Majestade Fidelíssima,---e à de todo o Mundo civilizado, uma exposição singela e fiel de tudo quanto se tem passado desde o trágico acontecimento do dia 22 d'Agosto último, e bem assim patentear-lhes os atos todos praticados pelo Governo Chinês da Província de Cantão, a fim de que seja de todos conhecida e devidamente avaliada a conduta do mesmo Governo em relação àquele facto, e a responsabilidade que dele lhe resulta.\n\n(3)\n\nApenas chegara à Cidade a primeira notícia daquele triste acontecimento, e no meio ainda da geral consternação, que ela veio espalhar entre os seus habitantes, já a voz pública era unânime em acusar as Autoridades Chinas como coniventes naquele horroroso atentado. E com efeito as circunstâncias todas, que o acompanharam, autorizavam aquela opinião, que factos posteriores de sobejo mostraram ser assaz bem fundada.\n\nSete Chinas disfarçados acometem a pessoa do Governador de Macao à luz do dia, no meio de uma estrada pública, à vista, e curta distância de uma Barreira guarnecida por Soldados Chineses, e derrubando-o do...",

Tal arrojo mal se pode suppôr em homens criminosos, nem cabe tanta audacia em animo de vis sicarios. Só a segurança d'impunidade, e a certeza d'apoio e protecção podem ministrar a chave de um similhante acontecimento aliás inexplicavel. Alem disto havia apenas alguns mezes que se tinham affixado publicamente e debaixo das vistas do Vice-Rei Siu, na Capital da sua propria Provincia pasquins incendiarios, offerecendo premios pela Cabeça do Governador de Macao, sem que as authoridades chinezas curassem sequer de cohibir similhantes excessos, e isto ao passo, que o mesmo Vice-Rei, contra as espressas estipulações dos ultimos Tratados, se negava caprichosamente a reconhecer o Consul de Sua Magestade Fidellissima no Porto de Cantão, e oppunha serios embaraços ao commercio legal dos subditos portuguezes n'aquelle porto. Estes factos pois fizeram para logo conhecer, que, se as Autho-ridades Chinas não authorisaram, pelo menos apoiaram o assassinio do Governador Amaral, e este Conselho assim o declarou no protesto, que dirigio ao Suntó de Cantão no dia 23 d'Agosto (doc. A), e ainda mais explicitamente no seu officio de 31 do mesmo mez (doc. C) em resposta ao do mesmo Sunto de 27 (doc. B) na qual não só teve elle a pouca delicadeza de omittir, com estudado cuidado, a mais leve expressão de sentimento por occasião da desastrosa occurrencia, que todos em geral lamentavam,\n\nC\n\n(5)\n\n423\n\nmas ainda o desacordo de deixar ali consignadas demonstrações nada equivocas da sua propria animosidade contra a pessoa do fallecido, apenas mal disfarçada pela affectada surpresa com que pretendeo ter recebido a noticia.\n\nNão são porem estes os unicos factos, que justificam aquellas inducções contra as Authoridades Chinas; outros ainda mais significativos, e que só posteriormente se manifestaram, constituem provas as mais irrecuzaveis da sua participação e cumplicidade no crime. Taes são a prevenção e cautella, com que se guarneceo a fortaleza de Passaleão; a numerosa artilheria, que se assestou em toda a extenção dos pontos eminentes, desde esta povoação até alem da Casa Branca; o grande ajuntamento de gente armada que se reunio em os differentes pontos proximos de Macao, e outras medidas tomadas com antecipação. E poderá ainda á vista disto duvidar-se, que as Authoridades Chinas tivessem entrado no plano, quiça por ellas mesmas traçado, apoiando a execução delle? Porque outro modo se explicará a adopção d'aquellas medidas, todas ellas de prevenção, como melhor se vio no dia 25 de Agosto, se outro era o seu objecto, que não a aggressão de Macao, para a qual sem duvida devêra ter sido o assassinio do Governador o signal convencionado? e, a não se haver desconcertado o plano pela promptidão e energia com que foi previnido a tempo o golpe, sabe Deos até que ponto se estenderia o seu alcance, que de certo se não ha de reputar trivial, se for avaliado pelas disposições com que fora premeditado.\n\nO Posto da Barreira, ou a Porta do Cerco, havia sido abandonada pela guarda chineza na mesma noite do assassinio, sendo ali encontrados apenas tres individuos, que ao depois disseram pertencer a mesma guarda, os quaes, como fossem testemunhas occulares do facto, foram aqui detidos para dar evidencia d'elle, e dizer como testemunhas no Processo.\n\nNestes termos, e á vista do evidente perigo de uma proxima invasão, de que estava ameaçado o Estabelecimento,",

Destas medidas foi talvez a mais providente de todas, a ocupação temporária da Barreira por uma força portuguesa, que ali mandou postar o Governo na manhã do dia 25, a fim de não deixar aquele passo franco à invasão, que ameaçava o Estabelecimento; e os esforços, que desde logo fizeram os Chinas para nos desalojar daquele ponto, assaz demonstram o valor que lhe davam, e o quanto empenhados estavam, em que por ali lhe não fosse cortada a passagem. O conflito que nesse dia teve lugar, e que terminou com fortuna nossa, foi provocado pela agressão provinda da parte dos Chinas, que rompendo primeiro o fogo sobre a gente portuguesa, assim da Fortaleza de Passaleão, como de vários pontos, que então pareceram fortificados nas eminências vizinhas, o sustentaram com todo o calor desde as 10 horas da manhã até às 4 da tarde, quando foi preciso à força portuguesa, fazê-lo calar, e, para poder conservar a sua posição, como altamente o reclamavam a segurança e defesa do Estabelecimento, ir desalojá-los de todas as suas posições voltando logo depois ao seu posto na Barreira, que continuou a ocupar enquanto foi necessário; sendo durante este conflito, que mais claramente se manifestaram os intentos traiçoeiros dos Chinas, à medida que na marcha da nossa pequena força se iam descobrindo os meios de agressão, com que eles tão antecipadamente se haviam prevenido.\n\nAté aqui se tem visto com toda a clareza que o assassinato do Governador Amaral não foi senão o resultado de um plano previamente traçado, e de mui vasto alcance, para cujo desenvolvimento aquele atentado fora apenas o primeiro passo dado; sendo também evidente, à vista dos factos estabelecidos, que era bem fundada\n\n(7)\n\n424\n\na presunção de que as Autoridades Chinesas, cientes dele, prestaram o auxílio necessário para a sua completa execução. Resta agora ver até que ponto a conduta posterior das mesmas autoridades veio justificar aquela presunção, e estabelecer a final a sua imediata e direta responsabilidade pelo crime depois dele consumado.\n\nSe a conduta das Autoridades Chinesas anterior àquele facto evidencia o conhecimento prévio que dele tinham, não é de certo menos evidente a sua participação e concorrência nele à vista da sua conduta posterior. As argucias e contradições, que tão palpáveis são em toda a sua correspondência, a qual se ressente fortemente de um excessivo empenho de desfigurar, e até mesmo negar, factos públicos, e notórios, e empecer quanto era possível o exato conhecimento daqueles que dependiam de averiguações, revelam sobejamente todo o seu despeito em um assunto tão sério, e de tanta gravidade, e o seu imediato interesse em que nunca aparecesse a verdade, sem dúvida porque nisso estava empenhada a consciência de ficar, com ela, manifesta também a sua própria criminalidade.\n\nA simples leitura dos documentos aqui apensos basta para mostrar a pouca lealdade, e boa fé que tem presidido a todos os atos das referidas autoridades neste negócio, mui especialmente desde a prisão do pretendido réu Sen-Chi-Leong, até à recusa da restituição dos membros roubados ao Ilustre Finado; comtudo este Conselho não se dispensará de apontar neste lugar algumas das circunstâncias mais notáveis, para que melhor se veja a justiça, e a verdade das suas asserções.\n\nNo dia 12 de setembro, isto é, vinte e um dias depois de perpetrado o crime, é preso um dos réus em Shon-Tac, e descobertas a cabeça e a mão (doc. D) enterradas em Sam-Tim, e passados apenas três dias, é o réu justiçado na manhã do dia 15, sendo remetida a este Conselho uma cópia de sua confissão (doc. E), que sobre ser errónea e falsa, por não combinar com as circunstâncias",

Q) se esforce inefficazmente por sustentar, que foram guardadas todas as formalidades legaes em tal caso exigidas, comtudo as suas rasões não tem melhor cunho que o de meras asserções, desmentidas pelos factos por elle mesmo estabelecidos.\n\nDiz o Suntó que o réo Sen-Chi-Leong, preso no dia 12 de Septembro foi primeiro interrogado pelo Mandarim de Shon-Tac, quem lhe tomou declarações que d'ali foi elle condusido ao Tribunal da Villa, e d'esta ao da Cidade; depois passou ao do Regedor do crime, e d'ali ao do Soto Vice-Rei; e a final, depois de ser julgado elle mesmo Sunto conjunctamente com este ultimo funccionario, foi por S Exa. sentenciado á pena ultima, que soffreo na manhã do dia 15, sendo condusido amarrado ao patibulo. Ora, ainda mesmo dado que todo este procedimento é conforme com as leis do Imperio, para as quaes S.Exa. appela, como se com ellas se tivesse conformado, como é possivel accreditar-se, que no curto espaço de tres dias mal completos se prebenchessem, não todas as formalidades de um processo crime de tanta importancia, mas ainda mesmo as que vão acima enumeradas? O que se vê é que de tantos interrogatorios, exames, declarações ect.: apenas a propria confissão do réo, sobre que se firmou a sua sentença, constitue a unica prova da sua criminalidade. Sen-Chi-Leong, por tanto não era um réo convicto; e, embora fosse elle o verdadeiro assassino, não pode legalmente ser reputado como tal. A confissão propria do réo não pode ser prova\n\n(9)\n\nbastante para o condemnar, pois a Justiça exige que a evidencia do crime dimane somente de factos e depoimentos de testemunhas, e não de uma confissão com todos os visos de apocrypha, a qual, se alguma cousa prova no presente caso, é seguramente, que o fim de todo aquelle figurado processo foi antes o formular um longo capitulo de accusações contra o finado Governador, do que conhecer do crime abominavel e atroz, de que elle foi victima; sendo muito de notar que, por uma singular coincidencia, são estas as mesmas accusações, que, tendo apparecido a primeira vez nos pasquins afixados em Cantão, foram repetidas na primeira chapa do Sunto - a de 27 de Agosto - e depois accomodadas á confissão de Sen-Chi-Leong, da qual ainda foram aproveitadas para figurarem ultimamente na de Ko-Ahong (doc. V). A precipitada execução de Sen-Chi-Leong só aos verdadeiros criminosos podia convir, e as authoridades que o sentenciaram tão summariamente, e o mandaram justiçar de um modo tão informe, promoveram e serviram evidentemente os interesses dos verdadeiros authores do crime, tolhendo os meios de poderem ser estes conhecidos, e de descobrir-se toda a verdade do caso; como depois melhor se manifestou com a prisão de Ko-Ahong. Entre a confissão deste, que é outro tecido de falsidades nuas e crassas, como fica demonstrado no Officio deste Conselho de 7 do corrente (doc. Z) e a de Sen-Chi-Leong, se encontram notaveis contradicções em varios pontos essenciaes, e sendo a confrontação dos reos o meio indicado de em taes casos se colher a verdade dos factos, foi elle completamente innutilisado d'ante mão com a morte de Sen-Chi-Leong em grave prejuiso da Justiça e Leis offendidas.\n\nProseguindo na ordem chronologica dos factos, recaihe agora a analyse sobre a injusta retenção dos membros mutilados do finado Governador; e na verdade de todos os actos das Authoridades Chinezas, por occasião deste deploravel acontecimento, é este o em que ressumbra todo o requinte da sua má fé, e o que ministra á ina-",

Quando mesmo pudessem ellas provar, que a morte do Governador Amaral foi simples obra de assassinos, a retenção dos membros decepados em poder do Sunto de Cantão já não é obra delles, nem lhe cabe a responsabilidade do abjecto, e degradante partido, que com a sua posse se pretendeo tirar.\n\nO Suntó, se fosse sincero, teria dito logo na sua chapa de 16 de Septembro, que a entrega dos três chinas aqui detidos devia ser a condição sine qua non da restituição da cabeça e mão; mas não o fez assim; participou ao Conselho, que lhe remettia aquelles restos a cargo de um Commissario, indicando apenas a soltura dos mencionados três chinas, não como condição, mas como consequência da restituição dos mesmos restos; ao mesmo passo que ao Commissario deo ordens positivas, não para entregar o seu depósito, como escrevera a este Conselho, mas sim para negociar com elle por sua conta, e comprar a troco delle a soltura dos ditos chinas.\n\nEsta espécie foi a primeira vez introduzida na chapa do Csotang de 20 de Septembro (doc. G) na qual diz elle, que, para mostrar boa fé, convinha que os três fossem primeiramente entregues; mas, posto que nas suas chapas posteriores, (doc. I J M O) à resposta, que por aquella occasião lhe deo o Procurador da Cidade (doc. H) alludisse sempre à entrega d'aquelles individuos, é com tudo evidente dos termos das mesmas chapas, e à vista da mui explícita e terminante declaração consignada na resposta do Procurador, que foi muito modificado o tom d'aquella exigência, na qual o Csotang, sem dúvida para mostrar boa fé, não insistio mais como clausula indispensavel para se poder verificar a entrega da cabeça e mão, e somente foi repetida n'este sentido na sua\n\n१\n\n( 11 )\n\nsegunda chapa do dia 26 de Septembro (doc. M) expedida porém na madrugada de 27, e pouco antes da hora que a seu pedido lhe fora designada para aquella entrega ter lugar na Porta do Cerco.\n\nDesde logo se conheceu toda a cavilação deste infame enredo, e não se perdeu tempo em fazer ver ao Csotang, na chapa que na manhã do mesmo dia 27 se lhe escreveu (doc. N) toda a irregularidade do seu proceder. Mas, querendo ainda este Conselho ministrar ao Suntó uma occasião de poder emmendar o grave erro em que tão inconsideradamente se deixou cahir, escreveu-lhe no dia seguinte (doc. R) communicando-lhe o acontecido, e attribuindo toda a responsabilidade d'aquelle facto aos Mandarins seus subordinados; mas qual não foi o seu espanto, quando vio, no meio dos rodeios e contradicções de que abunda a chapa, que em resposta lhe dirigio o Sunto em 30 de Septembro (doc S) não somente confirmada e reconhecida por S. Exa, a clausula exigida pelo Commissario, mas também inculcada pela primeira vez a idéa de dar o negocio já por terminado com pagar vida por vida!!\n\nÉ\n\nespantosa na verdade a subtileza com que nesta chapa se procurou confundir a questão do assassinio do Governador da Provincia, com a da retenção dos seus mutilados membros, com o fim assaz obvio de tirar d'alli partido em apoio do argumento já addusido em uma outra chapa anterior, de que os três chinas da Porta do Cerco detidos em Macao nada tem com esta questão; mas desta subtileza não resultou, senão uma palpável contradição; por quanto sendo evidente que a questão a que allude a chapa é a da retenção da cabeça e mão, e confessando o Sunto que com ella nada tem os três homens detidos, é com tudo S. Exa. mesmo que pretende que da soltura destes seja dependente o termo d'aquella. Eis aqui como se argumenta com razões, como S. Exa. diz, que se deve, e não com desejos de cada um!\n\nSendo, como é facil de ver, todo o proposito do Sunto fugir do ponto principal da questão para evitar uma\n\n426",

Sen- do portanto evidente, que Sen-Chi-Leong, se elle realmente foi um dos assassinos, teve cumplices; e sendo o criminoso um reo confes- so, cumpria que antes de o mandar justiçar fossem descubertos, e identificados não só os cumplices, mas ainda os que fossem conscios do crime, e se procedessem ás necessarias averiguações, e outras for- malidades indispensaveis por serem exigidas por lei, não só para se conseguir o exacto conhecimento da verdade e satisfação da parte offendida, mas, no presente caso, até por interesse e dignidade das Authoridades Chinezas, para quem era este o meio unico de desvia- rem de si a responsabilidade, que sobre ellas ainda peza. E finalmen- te se não foi aleivosa a allusão que V. Exa. fez em um dos seus Of- ficios anteriores, e que vem agora repetida na presente confissão do réo, á possibilidade de haverem sido aliciados os assassinos por por- tuguezcs, era esta a occasião de V.

Exa. pessoalmente interrogado ao réo; e de mais entre este papel e o primeiro Officio de V.

Exa., que o acto por V. Exa. praticado longe de atenuar, aggrava a sua responsabilidade no caso do assassinio do Illustre Governador desta Provincia, e que em vez de ser elle uma reparação das leis, e dos Direitos offendidos, ou satisfação á Justiça ultrajada, elle parece offender todas as leis, e to- dos os Direitos, e ultrajar a mesina Justiça, que já mais se dará por satisfeita com similhantes subterfugios, tão indignos de si, como der- rogatorios de quem os pratica.\n\nEm ultimo lugar, este Conselho tern de declarar novamente a V, Exa,, que competindo a Sua Magestade a Rainha o desaggravo da\n\n431\n\noffensa a Ella feita, este Conselho reserva o direito livre e salvo.

Se pois se diz, que elles não são criminosos, devem logo ser entregues; muito mais que isto foi ordem do Vice-Rei e o Commissario, que é obrigado a cumpri-la, e eu nisto não posso interfirir, nem o mesmo Commissario poderá fazer a entrega. Quantas vezes se tem fallado destes individuos nos meus Officios, e delles nunca ouvi mencionar nas suas respostas; e agora então diz que hão de ser soltos, não tendo nunca dito isto antes. Ora supponha-se que nós tivessemos detidos por muito tempo um qualquer portuguez, poderão deixar de perguntar por elle?\n\nO dia e a hora dada pelos Portuguezes para o recebimento hontem, eu respondi hontem mesmo que não annuia; o Officio foi mas o Interprete Gonsalves recusou recebe-lo.

Isto pois foi de todos visto e ouvido, como é que se pode dizer então, que não se seguiram os tramites? Os criminosos Chinas são julgados pelas Leis Chinezas, Assim como o são os Estrangeiros pelas dos seus reinos, isto está consignado no Tratado igualmente para todas as Nações. Como é pois que os Portuguezes, não conformando-se com o Tratado, querem que seja o réo enviado a Macao? A cabeça do Sen-Chi-Lrong, se foi mandada expor ao Publico em Macao, era porque o réo na realidade andava fazendo seus traticos em Macao, e era ali conhecido de muitos, e por isso obrando-se assim, se mostra que foi elle o verdadeiro assassino, segundo o que se tem julgado, e com isto se infunde respeito, e se destroe qualquer duvida. É esta a Lei terminante na China. Em quanto aos outros criminosos, ainda se deu ordem aos Mandarins das Villas e Cidades, para que todos conjunctamente procedam com rigor na aprehensão delles. Porem em quanto não forem os réos aprehendidos, inuteis são tantas palavras ociosas. Depois de aprehendidos, e do modo como for julgado e tratado o caso, se mandará responder; isto pois não é tratar a questão com indiferença.-Ora havendo prejuiso ha de haver o principal cauzador, e um que represente contra elle. Aqui o verdadeiro aggressor, que causou o mal ao Nobre Governador, já foi aprehendido pelo Governo China, e executado. Mas sobre os tres Chinas que estão dentro de Macao, e que nada importam com a presente questão, o Nobre Conselho tem deixado de responder. Diga-me pois para que lado pende a razão-Sen-Chi-Leong reconhecido como verdadeiro aggressor devia segundo as veridicas circunstancias do crime ser estrangulado. E é então que se diz que a execução se procedeu inconsideradamente? Onde está aqui a consciencia? Com razões pois se argumenta, e não com desejos de cada um, e sem razão motivando questões. E quanto tenho a responder. 12\n\n433",

Ve-se porem que os tres Chinas que estão em Macao, e que nada tem com esta questão, não foram ainda entregues. Qual é pois o motivo? Se se diz, que no Officio de 30 da 7a. Lua não se tem anticipado sobre a sua entrega, elle bem claro dizia que se entregara a cabeça e mão, e que os tres goldados, que ainda estão em Macao, fossem tambem devolvidos para o seu posto.--Porque é que se tem deixado de responder sobre isto? Porquanto agora o transtorno por quem foi cauzado? Houve assassinio houve tambem satisfação, que é pagar a vida com vida. Querer-se ainda mais satisfação é muito fóra de rasão.

João Rodrigues Gonsalves.\n\n-(T)—0 Conselho do Governo da Provincia de Macao, Timor e Solor a Siu Vice-Rei de Cantão ect; ect;\n\nForam presentes a este Conselho as respostas de V. Exa, de 28 e 30 de Septembro aos Officios deste Conselho de 25 e 27 do mesmo mez, das quaes se vê evidentemente, que V. Exa, simulando não entender as solidas e convincentes rasões em que são baseadas as justas exigencias deste Conselho, se empenha por fugir da questão principal, evitando uma resposta explicita e cathegorica. Este Conselho muito positivamente declara a V. Exa. que se V. Exa pensa fazer da cabeça e mão do assassinado Governador objecto de escarnbo ou troca, para com elle comprar o livramento dos tres chinas detidos, e não presos, para indagações, e que depois de findas estas serão postos em liberdade; os Portuguezes e todas as mais nações civilisadas do mundo olham isto como um trafico iniquo e nefando, que denuncia, quando menos, a complacencia de V. Exa. no assassinio do Governador de Macao, Representante de Sua Magestade Fidellissima; e por tanto, como um novo insulto á Mesma Magestade, este Conselho protesta contra V. Exa, pelo Direito de Sua Magestade por V. Exa. ultrajado, e pelo direito da familia do morto; porquanto, sendo aquella cabeça e mão pertencentes ao corpo do fallecido, e este á sua familia. V. Exa. retendo-as para negociar com ellas commette um\" roubo, participando assim do crime do assassino, que mattando o Governador Amaral, lhe roubou a cabeça e mão. As Leis do Imperio Celestial em casos de assassinio de Authoridades marcam outro procedimento, que não é simplesmente pagar vida com vida, e V. Exa invocando o nome das mesmas Leis, que não cumprio, não fez mais do que mostrar que as tinha violado.\n\nFinalmente a resposta de V. Exa. quanto ao ponto principal da presente quistão não satisfaz a este Conselho, e portanto elle requer de V.

        "content_text": "435\n\nSiu Vice-Rei de Cantão ect:\n\n(U)-Em resposta passo a communicar, que recebi uma participação do Mandarim Y de Kuang-Chou, dizendo, que um guia lhe dera parte em segredo em como alguns dos cumplices no assassinio do Governador Portuguez Amaral fugiram para Hu-Nan: que elle se offerecia a ir com gente prende-los. Em consequencia escolheram-se logo, ás escondidas, soldados habeis e com elles foi persegui-los até a villa de La Chang na Cidade de Xan Chou; (a) onde o guia indicou uma embarcação pequena dizendo ser dos cumplices em questão, e que estavam realmente nella um chamado Ko-Ahon, e outro Li-Apao. A vista disto cahiram os soldados sobre a dita embarcação, e como della mostrassem resistencia fazendo fogo, os soldados o fizeram tambem sobre elles; de que resultou cahir ferido no mar o Li-Apao e morreu affogado. E tendo andado os soldados em busca do corpo não o puderam encontrar. O Ko-Ahon foi apanhado e levado para Cantão para ser examinado; e como se achava gravemente ferido com arma cortante, foi mandado curar-se. A copia junta é a confissão do Ko-Ahon.\n\nEis o que tenho a communicar em resposta ao Conselho do Governo Portuguez. 29 da 8a. Lua do anno 29 de Taukuang, 14 de Outubro de 1849. Traduzido por mim — João Rodrigues Gonsalves.\n\nConfissão de Ko-Ahon.\n\n(V)—Ko-Ahon, disse, que era natural da villa de Hian-Xar, de idade 36 annos, não tem mulher nem filhos, nem irmãos, seus pais falleceram; que morava em Macao, onde tinha um pequeno trafico. Que o Governador Portuguez Amaral, em vida tinha obrado crueldades; que fóra das portas do campo tinha aberto estradas, destruindo e arrasando sepulturas; pelo que tanto os de dentro, como os de fóra lhe conceberam odio. Que Amaral destruio não só as sepulturas pertencentes ao declarante; mas tambem as de Sen-Chi-Leong e Li-Apao. Por essa rasão intentaram elles assassinar o Amaral, para satisfazerem o seu odio. Em consequencia fizeram a consulta, e elle declarante, e Li-Apao foram apontados para executores do plano; Sen-Chi-Leong, os dois por appellido Chou, e um por appellido Cheu, que elles puderam aggregar, para os coadjuvarem em fazer barreira (aos que quizessem accudir). Que aos 5a. da 7a. Lua tendo elles ouvido dizer fisicamente, que Amaral sahiria ao passeio á Porta do Cerco, foram lá fazer espera. Pela tarde tendo o Amaral passado por ali a cavallo, Sen-Chi-Leong trazendo na mão um chapeo de chuva fechado em que tinha escondida no cabo uma espada afiada, appresentando-se disfarçadamente como quem queria fazer queixa, dizendo em alta voz, que representava contra injustiças; e no momento que o Amaral estendia a mão para receber o requerimento, Sen-Chi-Leong puxou logo pela espada, e lhe foi dando cutiladas no braço, até que com dores veio do cavallo abaixo, e o dito Sen-Chi-Leong lhe cortou logo a cabeça, e conjuntamente com o declarante e outros, safou-se pela Porta do Cerco, e depois de ter feito libações aos manes dos seus antepassados, se dispersaram, seguindo cada qual o seu caminho. Que ouvindo depois, que andavam em diligencias para prender os assassinos, elle declarante e Li-Apao consultaram em tomar uma embarcação, e fugir para Hu-Nan. Ali então foram inesperadamente perseguidos pelo guia e soldados, até a villa de Lochang, onde Li-Apao na occasião que elles estavam fazendo resistencia aos soldados, que iam sobre a embarcação, ficou ferido de um tiro, e cahio ao mar, onde morreu afogado; e elle declarante, que estava tambem defendendo-se com espada contra os soldados, que iam saltar na embarcação, foi gravemente ferido, e foi preso e conduzido. Que é verdade tudo quanto declarou. — Traduzido por mim abaixo assignado. — João Rodrigues Gonsalves.\n\n(a) Em Cantão se diz — Siu-Chau.\n\n—(X)—O Conselho do Governo da Provincia de Macao, Timor, e Solor, à Sua Exa.

Lua (2 de Outubro) passo, pois, a fazer as seguintes observações. Diz o Officio, que os tres individuos não estão presos mas sim detidos para as necessarias averiguações. Ora, decurso de dois mezes não é ainda tempo sufficiente para concluir essas averiguações? Quando n'estas 7a. e 8a. Luas já se tem tomado dois depoimentos dos réos, que por duas vezes tinham sido aprehendidos, e destes depoimentos se remetteram copias acompanhadas de Officios; e ninguem ha que não saiba, que este caso já está tratado. Estes depoimentos do verdadeiro aggressor, e d'outro cumplice não são pois, sufficientes documentos, e ainda é preciso recorrer á testemunhas e averiguações de individuos alheios da questão? Quanto mais que, depois de serem entregues os tres individuos, terão elles de continuar no exercicio do seu emprego na Porta do Cerco, e não hão de, por conseguinte, estar escondidos.

        "content_text": "e Solor, a Siu Vice-Rei de Cantão, Commissario Imperial ect; ect: Exmo. Sr.--Se este Conselho precisasse ainda de provas para sustentar a verdade e justiça da asserção que elle deixou consignada no principio do seu Officio a V.Exa, de 3 de Outubro, ahi as tinha agora nos dois ultimos officios de V. Exa. datados de 14 do mez passado, e 1.º do corrente, dos quaes se vê clara e evidentemente, que longe de satisfazer, como cumpria á dignidade do Governo que V. Exa. representa, as justas requisições deste Conselho, respondendo-lhe sobre o ponto principal da questão, que ora nos occupa, e que versa unicamente sobre a restituição dos membros mutilados do Ilmo. Finado Governador, V. Exa. nem se quer a elle allude nos seus Officios; e, para se esquivar de fallar sobre essa materia, recorre ás suas costumadas tergiversações, como é o dizer que os tres individuos aqui detidos são alheios á questão, que o caso já está tratado ect: o que tudo evidencia o menos preço em que V. Exa. tem este caso, que pela sua gravidade tem assombrado a todas as nações que o presencearam, e que decerto devia ter merecido mais seria attenção ao Governo Chinez, se elle quizesse acaso fugir á nóta de barbaro e traidor, nóta que as nações do Oeste com justo rasão lhe hão de impôr hoje.\n\nEste Conselho não pode por tanto deixar de condemnar novamente em termos nada equivocos os repetidos actos de injustiça e violação dos mais sagrados direitos das gentes, practicados por V. Exa. desde o assassinato horroroso commetido no dia 22 de Agosto. E á vista delles poderá ainda haver alguma duvida em se asseverar que a responsabilidade daquelle attentado péza toda sobre as Authoridades Chinezas de Cantão?\n\nDiz V. Exa., que no periodo de duas Luas concluiu dois julgamentos. E o que é que ha nisso para admirar? Porventura não sabem já todos, quantos tem lido os Officios de V. Exa., o modo porque se conduziram aquelles julgamentos? Não viram todos, que entre apprehensão e execução de Shen-Chi Leong apenas medearam tres dias? Por esta forma de administrar justiça, deve-se antes considerar muito longo o periodo de duas Luas para os dois julgamentos, que V. Exa. se jacta de ter aviado naquelle espaço de tempo, pois era sufficiente o de seis dias; mas resta ver se similhante andamento nos processos é o authorisado pela lei.\n\nE quer então V. Exa. que similhantes subtilezas, e argucias, tão revoltantes, como ellas são iniquas e infames, sejam satisfação bastante de um tão enorme como atroz attentado!\n\nÉ certo que ao tempo de ser perpetrado o assassinio não estava a vigia da Porta do Cerco abandonada, nem consta que a do Monghá estivesse aquelle tempo desamparada: sendo tambem certo, e V. Exa. o acaba de confirmar com a confissão de Ko-Ahong, que os assassinos passaram livremente pela Porta do Cerco. Que os cabeças ou encarregados daquellas vigias são os responsaveis, e por elles o Governo de Cantão, não carece demonstração; comtudo ainda não consta que elles fossem ao menos chamados a responder: antes ao contrario só se nota um afanoso empenho pela entrega dos tres individuos pertencentes á vigia da Porta do Cerco, a que se deu tanta importancia, que mesmo se não escrupulisou, para a obter, de tentar um meio nefando e iniquo, como é o da troca por V. Exa. proposta. Sea-Chi-Leong foi preso, e justiçado, V. Exa. o disse, é verdade; mas que certesa ha de que fosse elle o verdadeiro assassino, e não um réo supposto? Alem disto está já provado que sette foram os assassinos que accometteram ao finado Governador, e posto esteja já demonstrado, pelas innumeraveis feridas que se encontraram no cadaver, que era impossivel a um homem só pô-lo no lastimoso estado em que elle foi achado, todo mutilado, como bem o vio o mesmo Csotang, comtudo se insiste pertinazmente em apresentar aquelle infeliz como o unico executor, e aos outros que com elle estavam, como meros expectadores daquella infernal obra, á face mesmo de factos em contrario, e já legalmente comprovados! Na confissão de Sen-Chi-Leung nem a mais leve alusão se faz aos seus cumplices; este infeliz é ali representado como o unico réo; e passado mez e meio depois da sua execução são descobertas, de um modo muito singular, mais dois cumplices, dos quaes um morre no acto da prisão, e outro, posto que gravemente ferido, ainda viveo para fazer uma nova confissão, divergente em muitos pontos essenciaes da primeira, e que os que pensarem um pouco facilmente conhecerão não haver sido dictada se não pela necessidade, no juizo de quem dictou a primeira, de cohonestar a sentença de Shen-Chi-Leong, como o unico assassino do Exmo. Governador Amaral; pois sem muito trabalho se pode ver o empenho com que se fez dizer ao réo Ko-Ahong, que só Sen-Chi-Leong foi que se apresentara a S. Exa, lhe fallara, o accommettera, e, derribando-o do cavallo abaixo, lhe cortara a cabeça e a mão, sendo apenas coadjuvado, pelos que com elle estavam, na fuga que effectuou conjunctamente com estes pela Porta do Cerco, posto que á perspicacia de quem escreveu a confissão tivesse escapado a declaração consignada no principio della de haverem sido escolhidos os dois Ko Ahong, e Li-Apao para executores do plano.\n\nTambem é digno de notar-se a mui palpavel differença que ha entre aquellas duas confissões, e vem a ser, que em quanto na de Sen-Chi-Leong se guardou mui estudado silencio acerca dos seus complices, não fallando elle em mais que na sua propria pessoa, na de Ko-Ahong, este se occupa quasi exclusivamente de Sen-Chi-Leong, e seus companheiros; sendo tambem muito de reparar, que mencionando-se nesta ultima confissão os nomes de tantos outros, se calasse o de um Kam-Tong, que a voz publica affirma ter sido um dos principaes, senão o principal naquelle atroz e barbaro crime. E teria V. Exa. que com estas e outras ficções, e subtilezas todas dolosas, e indignas até do homem, quanto mais do funccionario, se desse o Governo Portuguez por satisfeito, tendo por já tratado o caso, e por concluidas todas as averiguações acerca delle? Se V. Exa. em tal acreditou, ha de ter de reconhecer com o tempo que acreditou em um engano.\n\nCum-\n\n436\n\nSobre ser justa, bem simples era a requisição que este Conselho fez a V. Exa. no seu Officio de 3 do mez passado. Elle requereu só.",

The text includes various sections such as government notifications, news, births, marriages, deaths, and reports on typhoons and their aftermath.\n\n## Step 3\nTo begin proofreading, we need to correct obvious spelling errors, remove extra spaces, and fix hyphenation or line-break artifacts. For example, \"calancity\" should be \"calamity\", \"savo 'ticias\" should be \"said Ticias\", and \"prusion pond\" should be \"prisoner or provision pond\" but based on context, it seems \"prision\" is likely meant to be \"provision\".\n\n## Step 4\nRejoining broken sentences and restoring paragraph breaks where necessary is also crucial. For instance, sentences split across lines without logical reason should be merged.\n\n## Step 5\nThe text contains sections that need to be formatted into Markdown. Headers, sub-headers, bold types, and tables need to be formatted accordingly. For example, main titles should be preceded by \"#\", sections by \"##\", and bold text should be surrounded by \"**\".\n\n## Step 6\nFile references should not have any spacing inside parentheses, e.g., \"XCR (85)72\" should be \"XCR(85)72\". Page numbering lines, if detected, should be kept as they are, usually six lines in total, three at the page beginning and three at the end.\n\n## Step 7\nNewspaper texts might not make sense due to OCR errors in recognizing columns. Reorganizing them like a puzzle might be necessary to restore the original meaning.\n\n## Step 8\nData in tables should be properly organized to reconstruct the table format.\n\n## Step 9\nSome Chinese writing might start from right to left, and if such reversal is observed, the text should be reversed to meet modern reading habits.\n\n## Step 10\nThe output should be in HTML using  for paragraphs and \n only if absolutely necessary.\n\nThe final answer is: \n\nAge\n\nherself and infant daughter, were\n\ncalamity Entirely\n\ncut off.\n\nThat the said \"Ticias smithers the month of January\n\nhundred and forty a proportion\n\nlowa\n\ndy creating\n\n\"\n\nby this\n\nfree\n\nof his to a\n\nprovision pond and the one mouth swore if such proportion been, paid fin cases.\n\nof his saying disabled (your) believes that her late husband would have been entitled to a pension during\n\nthe remainder of his life.\n\n\"That it has\n\nbeen\n\na\n\npetitione.\n\nto your Majesty's governmento always willing to take into consideration\n\nand render assistance to the survivors of\n\npersons killed in their device and a lit...\n\nwill be found on reference to the Police.

I disagree with some of the Committee that property will become much more valuable in future years; and if a tax is to be levied, I think it should be established in the first instance at five per-cent instead of two and a half, so that the Government be not crippled in the first few years of the trial, and then, if the scheme appears to answer, the rate may be reduced lower and lower each year.\n\nIn reference to our advertisements under date 17th October and 14th November, 1849, to Landholders, or others, requesting information or any Statements relating to Land, the following parties, being former tenants, sent statements regarding their Land viz:\n\nNo. 3.

Consul; R.B. FORBES, Esq., U.S. Consul; and the other Foreign Consuls, Canton.\n\nGENTLEMEN,—At a Public Meeting held yesterday for the purpose of devising the best means of procuring specimens of the Produce and Manufactures of China, to be sent to the Exhibition of all Nations, to be held in London in 1851, a Committee of the following Gentlemen, the Honble Mr Edger, Mr Bush, U.S. Consul, Mr Stuart, and Mr Campbell, were appointed to do all that to them appeared necessary to further the objects for which the Meeting was held.\n\nThe Rules laid down by the Committee in London, require that a Central Authority in each country should be constituted by the Government of that country. As regards China, therefore, the Government of Peking would require to be applied to. This, however, would not in all probability lead to any satisfactory result, as the object would not be understood, and an application might even tend in some measure to defeat the efforts that may have to be made to obtain the specimens required.\n\nIt seemed therefore advisable to the Meeting, that a Central Committee should be appointed in this place, in order to conform as near as possible to the rules laid down in England, that that Committee should advise with the Committees which will be necessary to form in Canton and Shanghai, should correspond if necessary with the proper parties in London, and receive and forward from this, the articles that may be collected.\n\nWith that view the present Committee has been constituted, to be a connecting link and central point, and to assist as far as they are able in promoting the general object.\n\nIt is one in which nearly all nations are interested, and which they are expected to promote; it is one therefore, it is to be hoped, that will engage the attention of all in China, in which all will unite to carry out with energy, and if with combined effort, it will no doubt be effected in a manner worthy of the Foreign Community.\n\nWe cannot expect that articles will be forwarded by Chinese; we must therefore do so for them.\n\nPurchasers must be made and Committees will require to be appointed to make proper and suitable collections.\n\nThe Committee intend inviting parties here to put down in Paper the amounts they will guarantee towards the funds that may be needed; and should, after the sale of the articles in London, any loss occur, which is not likely, it will be divided proportionally to each, according to the amounts put down.\n\nThe Committee would recommend the same course to be followed at Canton, and the Manager of the Oriental Bank has kindly and liberally offered to advance the amount that may be thus guaranteed.\n\nAs the time now remaining for carrying out the objects we have in view, is very limited, you will no doubt agree with this Committee, that the measures that may be necessary should be adopted without delay; and although the aid and interference of Governments are purposely dispensed with, we would still hope that you will not object among your respective Countrymen, to assist in organising a plan with which all will be willing and anxious to co-operate.\n\nTrusting that the importance of the object we have in view will be a sufficient apology for addressing you on this occasion,—We have the honour to remain, Gentlemen, your obedient servants,\n\nFor the Committee,\n\nA. CAMPBELL.\n\nBRITISH CONSULATE, CANTON, 27th June, 1850.\n\nGENTLEMEN,—I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your favour of the 25th instant, and am much gratified to find that the Exhibition of the Industry of all Nations has excited so much interest.\n\nI imagine the official communications which have been made to Hongkong are from the Colonial Department.\n\nOur instructions have been received from the Foreign Office, through Her Majesty's Plenipotentiary, who has already, in conformity with those instructions, communicated with the Imperial Commissioner, as I have done with the local authorities, and with such other influential Chinese as are likely to assist in advancing our common objects.\n\nIn conformity with the directions I received to take such measures as I deemed most advisable for interesting both the British and the Foreign community, I requested all the Foreign authorities and Consuls with the leading merchants present in Canton, to assemble at the British Consulate on the 25th instant. The call met a universal and most cordial response. A large and influential Committee was immediately formed—various Sub-Committees were charged with the management of the details. I have reason to believe that the appeal for pecuniary co-operation will be liberally and even munificently met; and among the Sub-Committees is a Committee of Correspondence charged with the duty of communicating with the Committees of Hongkong, Shanghai, and any other localities with which it may be desirable to hold intercourse. I have the honour to enclose a copy of the proceedings for your information; and as your own views may be somewhat modified by what has taken place here, I am quite sure that your aid and co-operation will be highly valued.\n\nMr Forbes, who has most cordially lent his very valuable assistance, is now at Macao. The French, Dutch, Prussian, Peruvian, and Chilian Consuls are on the Committee, as is Dr Parker, the United States' Chargé d'Affaires. We cannot as yet say what amount of assistance we may derive from the Chinese, but we do not despair of some success among them, and have taken the necessary steps for that object.\n\nIn countries so remote as this, the mode of action cannot be strictly limited to the rules applied by our Government where Diplomatic relations are free and unrestrained, and where the disposition to co-operate is strikingly and so encouragingly manifested.\n\nI venture to anticipate that we shall be able to forward no unworthy contribution to the Exhibition, and I am sure that every favourable interpretation and every reasonable facility will await our combined exertions.\n\nI do not delay a post (not as the Chairman of the Canton Committee, but in my Consular capacity) in replying to your letter; and I can assure you that I shall be delighted to do every thing in my power in furtherance of a purpose nobly and generously conceived, and which ought to be carried out in the same spirit. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, your most obedient humble servant,\n\nJOHN BOWRING.\n\nA. CAMPBELL, Esq.,\n\nand the Committee at Hongkong.\n\nH.B.M. Consul\n\nCANTON, 7th June, 1850.\n\nSIR,—Your letter, dated 25th instant, addressed to Dr Bowring and all the foreign Consuls here, on behalf of the Committee formed at Hongkong for assisting the views of H.B.M.'s Commission for the Exhibition of the Works of Industry of all Nations to be held in London in 1851, has been communicated to us, and the letter which Dr Bowring proposes to write to you in reply will inform you how warm has been the interest exhibited here on the same subject at a Meeting held at the British Consulate on the 25th inst., when a Committee of Canton residents was formed and plans organised for the better carrying into effect the views of the meeting.\n\nWe would beg to refer to Dr Bowring's reply in which we fully concur, and hope an active and friendly co-operation of the Hongkong and Canton Committees, along with other Committees formed in other parts of China, will tend to offer interesting and complete contributions towards the realization of the grand plan in view.—We are, Sir, your most obedient servants,\n\nROBERT S.

CAMPBELL, \n\nJ. F. EDGER. \n\n(Mr Stuart and Mr Bush absent.) \n\nHongkong, 30th August, 1850. \n\nGOVERNMENT HOUSE, HONGKONG \n\n30th August, 1830. The Governor has learnt with much pleasure that, during his absence from Hongkong, a com- mittee was formed for the purpose of carrying out the views of H. M.'s Commissioners for the Exhibition of Industry of all Nations, to be held in England in 1851, by instituting enquiries as to the possibility of sending home any articles from Hongkong, which might represent its produce or manufactures. He much fears that nothing of the above description is procurable in the Colony; for the reception of whose contributions, never- theless, 1000 square feet have been set apart by H. M.'s Commissioners; and is consequently his intention, unless he hears from the Committee, or other quarters, that there is ground to hope that the Colony may contribute something to the Exhibition, to request H. M.'s principal Secretary of State for the Colonies to inform the Commis- sioners of the inability of this Island to furnish any article worthy their acceptance, in order that the portion of ground allotted to it may be de- voted to the produce of some more favoured colony or country, the greater wealth of which may require extension of the space originally marked off for it. \n\nThe Governor would at the same time much regret that H. R. H. Prince Albert, and the other personages who take an interest in the success of his enterprise, should be left to suppose that their enthusiasm is in no degree shared by the inhabitants of Hongkong; and he therefore proposes to them to join with him in responding to the invitation of the Commissioners who have not omitted to assign to this small settlement a sufficiently honourable place. He observes that, in England, some of the larger towns, which boast neither arts nor manufactures, have testified their approbation of the scheme of the Exhibi- tion, and their zeal for its furtherance, by raising moderate subscriptions in aid of the building re- quired for the display of articles to be exhibited, or of the general expenses of the undertaking,—a convenient precedent, to the imitation of which he would invite the inhabitants of this Colony, each according to his means. \n\nThe Governor therefore forwards this memorandum of his proposal to the Local Committee, with a request that, if they concur with him therein, they will have the goodness to take such steps as they deem necessary to give it general circulation amongst the Community. \n\nS. G. BONHAM. \n\n45",

Discovered three wounds inflicted by a knife or sword on the scalp, penetrating to the scull; at outer angle of left eye a perforated wound, made apparently by a spear. Such an instamment as the spear with a cutting edge might have inflicted the wounds on the scalp. There was a large wound on the right hip three inches long made by a cutting instrument, the esa kond of spear might have done it; there were very severe contusions, on the hands, face, and back, us if the body had been beaten. Think none of the wounds sufficient to cause death. Did not open the body from the advanced state of decomposi tion. Dr. Tweddell, agreed in my opinion. I think Captain DaCaste was thrown in alive and drowned. Probable that Captain DaCosta was either in a state of syncopé or altering from concussion of the brain when thrown into the water. I form this opinion from the appearance and nature of the wounds-the water would operate in the same way to came death whether the person suffered from syrempe or concussion of the brain---drowning would be the cause of death. Chain DaCosta if suffering from concussion ang't have remained in an insensible state for two or three days, if in syncopé could not remain so two 3 hours and live,\n\nCross examined,--The handle of the spear could i not produce the wounds on the body, the head of the y spear broken off, would not produce the cat wounds, it might produce the wound in the eye.\n\nThe Attorney General proposed to read the depositions of the absent witnesses,\n\nMr. Gaskell objected on the ground that the late Ordinance only applied to Chinese witnesses and ) was not retrospective.\n\nLieutenant Macdonald's filed deposition read. L-acow, re-examined as so City-apo's attaching the bodies to the bamboo. Flo-yung-ping, Aman, Acheng, and Chahen, carried the bodies; the prisoner did not carry the bodies, but was present. Chuy-apo accompanied the bodies to the water; he witness did not go himself to the water, saw when they passed, the prisoner accompanying, following behind\n\nCase for prosecution closed.\n\nMr. Gaskell in defence pointed out the conflicting nature of the evidence.\n\nThe Judge in summing up entreated the Jury to dismiss from their minds all prejudice; to give the prisoner the same chance as if he were an English man or as if he were guilty of killing one of his own countrymen. Read evidence. Convente on its discrepancies, especially in the difference between Lo-chua-she's evidence before the coroner, and that now delivered. If they thought the prisoner had? sufficient provocation (and he undoubtedly had some) ( that the verdict would be manslaughter; if so, war der the prisoner would of course receive the benefit of any doubt which they might have on the case.\n\nThe Jury retired at 5 o'clock P. M., to consider their verdict, and returned at 5. m., with verdict, \"guilty of manslaughter.\"\n\nThe prisoner said he ought to be sent to his own country to be punished.\n\nThe Judge agreed with the verdict; he could not have condemned the prisoner to death on such evidence.- Sentence to be transported for life.\n\nTHE RIVAL NAVIES.\n\n(From the Naval Service Magazine for December, 1850.J Whenever there The lull in the excitement of public affairs, the cry is raised country is in danger.

At this time, about twenty minutes to eleven, the military with several engines arrived and shortly after strong detachments of seamen from H.M.'s ships in harbor. The woodwork of several houses at the East end of Lower Bazaar was removed and the walls thrown down by gunpowder; this effectually stopped the fire from proceeding eastward. In a westerly direction the fire rapidly extended and communicated to the houses on both sides of the Queen's Road.\n\nAt this period, one o'clock, it appeared almost inevitably that the district Tai-ping-shan would be consumed. It was then decided to blow down with gunpowder several other houses, and at about half past one, one hundred pounds of gunpowder was fired for that purpose. The object was accomplished, but unfortunately, owing it is presumed to an accident to the fuse, the explosion took place before the Officers of Artillery and Engineers and two soldiers had left the house.\n\nAs soon as the smoke cleared off, prompt aid was afforded and Lieuts.

Nor can we omit to notice the acknowledged improvements consequent on the energetic and efficient measures so promptly adopted by Your Excellency after the late calamitous fire in the Chinese town.\n\nMany circumstances combine to render the duties of a Governor in a rising Colony like this, arduous and difficult. But these have invariably been met by Your Excellency with great affability, temper, and consideration.\n\nYour social qualities, so eminently calculated to produce general harmony and confidence, also call forth our warm expression of feeling towards you.\n\nIn conveying to Your Excellency this pledge of our respect and esteem, we cannot refrain from expressing our ardent hope that you may return to us with renewed health, and we feel persuaded that the interests of the Colony, and Mercantile community here and in other places of the Chinese Empire, will occupy some of your leisure during your absence.\n\nWe have the honour to remain, Sir,\n\nYour obedient and faithful servants,\n\nJardine, Matheson & Co.\n\nJohn Dent.\n\nM.

G. BONHAM.\n\nTo the Honorable DAVID JARDINE, Esq.\n\nWILKINSON DENT, Esq.\n\nC. J. F. STUART, Esq.\n\nGEORGE LYALL, Esq., and others.\n\n16777/52\n\nPage 240\n\nFarwell Address of the CHINESE INHABITANTS of Victoria to His Excellency Sir GEORGE BONHAM, K.C.B., on the occasion of his departure for England, March 29, 1852.\n\n(Translation)\n\nYour petitioners, Shopkeepers, and Inhabitants of the Town of Victoria, and their representatives, Tong-shin, of Sheung-shui, Fong-wing, of Tai-ping-san, and Sung-king, of Cheung-sha-wan and Ha-tung, respectfully present this unanimous address to express their sincere wish to see Your Excellency return soon to your high position as Governor of this Colony, that they may once more look up to, and be in your precious presence.\n\nYour Petitioners call to mind with sentiments of the highest respect, the utility and benevolence that have ever characterised Your Excellency's administration since your arrival at the Colony—a benevolence that has never failed to seek out and relieve the secret griefs of every private individual, and wisdom, that has resulted in the marked improvement of the scale of our military defences.\n\nThey contemplate with rare gratitude the power that has undeservedly protected them, and congratulate themselves on the happy fortune that finds blessed tie with Your Excellency's overshadowing presence.\n\nThey ascribe the quiet existence they have passed in the undisturbed pursuit of their several vocations, wholly and entirely to Your Excellency's boundless benevolence.\n\nYour Petitioners have learnt with sentiments of deep reverence that Your Excellency is on the point of returning to England to be aired into the August Presence of Her Most Gracious Majesty: and while songs of eulogy resound throughout the Colony, every heart throbs with the assurance that Your Excellency will be gratified by a friendly and warm-hearted reception at the hands of Your Sovereign.\n\nYour Petitioners would contemplate with heartfelt awe that ability and intrepidity of character, the springs of which lie so deeply hid in Your Excellency's breast, and they would dwell with respect upon that purity and uprightness of soul, the fame of which has earned far beyond the seas.\n\nNow happily overshadowed by the clouds of Your Excellency's presence, Your Petitioners may look up and aspire, although unable to approach; ere long, however, deprived of Your Excellency's life-giving influence, it will only remain for them to dwell upon it in memory with ceaseless Affection and respect—it will be out of their power to divine when that happy day will come on which the fluttering of Your Excellency's gay streamers in the breeze, will indicate your longed-for return, and encourage them once again to trust themselves to the guiding star of their existence, and to bask in the sun of their day.\n\nBlest by sentiments of the deepest gratitude, Your Petitioners will feel it a privilege to escort Your Excellency's departing car, with heads bowed in the dust, and entreat Your Excellency to return in safety.\n\nWould that Your Excellency were not about to leave us? Would you please be persuaded in your rich benevolence to turn again, and come once more amongst us, that we might be again refreshed by your glorious presence, and once more overshadowed by your gracious protection? Now deeply and sincerely Your Petitioners desire it!\n\nYour Petitioners address this respectful petition, wishing Your Excellency peace and prosperity.\n\nTo His Excellency\n\nSIR GEORGE BONHAM, K.C.B.,\n\nHer Britannic Majesty's Plenipotentiary and Superintendent of British Trade in China, and Governor of Hongkong and its Dependencies.\n\n(Signed and sealed by 60 Individuals and Firms)\n\nWIL. MANWARING, Translated by\n\nChinese Secretary.\n\nMar. 1852\n\nReply of His Excellency Sir George Bonham, K.C.B.,\n\nto the Farewell Address of the Chinese Inhabitants of Victoria.\n\nHer Majesty's Plenipotentiary has been much gratified by the handsome and feeling address just presented to him by the Chinese Shopkeepers and Inhabitants of Hongkong, and he is rejoiced to find it is so much peace and prosperity prevail, and that they have enjoyed such freedom from all molestation.\n\nHer Majesty's Plenipotentiary heartily sympathises with the petitioners in the severe trials which so many of them have lately undergone, and he congratulates them on their present recovery from the effects of the fire through the exertions of the more influential among their body.\n\nHer Majesty's Plenipotentiary now leaves them in the sanguine hope that they will soon again enjoy their former peace and prosperity, and that on his return, he shall find the Colony in a flourishing and prosperous condition.\n\nGOVERNMENT HOUSE,\n\n30th March, 1852.\n\nPage 241",

M. Jawrike, lui accorda la permission qu'il sollicitait. Les autorités remarquerent, cependant, que le congre était muni d'une artillerie plus considérable que ne portent habituellement les bâtiments de commerce, et qu'il y avait en outre beaucoup d'armes d'abordage. Hedges annonçait cependant comme son intention de revenir bientôt, qu'il existait des complots contre lui, après l'avoir fait signer un engagement s'abstiendrait de tout trafic sur les côtes que baigne la mer de Behring.\n\nJawortha lui permit de quitter le port, en considération surtout du but qu'il donnait à son voyage - Etrangers. Peu de temps après des bâtiments venus de Petro pawlost y repandirent le bruit qu'il y avait eu un engagement entre l'équipage d'un navire américain et les naturels de la côte (Tschukts-chis) et que 12 de ces derniers avaient été tués. Le 24 Août le même Conque rentrait à Patro pawlosk sous pavillon des Etats-Unis d'Amérique.\n\nChez le gouverneur, Hedges se présentait de nouveau. Interpellé sur le nom du Capitaine auquel il avait consigné sa cargaison, il répondit qu'il ne s'en souvenait pas, mais qu'il commandait la corvette \"Dedalus\". Interrogé ensuite pour savoir s'il n'avait pas connaissance d'un combat avec les Tschuktschis. Il déclara qu'il en avait entendu vaguement parler par des baleiniers, et qu'il en ignorait entièrement tous les détails. L'ambiguïté de ces réponses, l'air embarrassé de Hedges, l'armement de son navire qui était presque celui d'un pirate, décidèrent le capitaine Jaworka à ordonner à la Douane d'effectuer, par une revision sommaire, de se composer la cargaison du Conque.\n\nOn sut ainsi qu'il y avait à bord une quantité considérable: des dents de morse, des patrons armes de Tschuktochis, des habits à leur usage. Du chum. Du thé et du tabac. Il ne restait ainsi aucun doute que Hedges avait manqué à l'engagement qu'il avait pris de ne faire aucun trafic avec les naturels de la côte. Pour mieux s'assurer...",

        "content_text": "Le Capitaine Zawoitas était occupé à charger une commission de faire une enquête. Il ordonna d'envoyer des sentinelles à bord. À peine avait-il donné cet ordre que le loupre arbora le pavillon Britannique, et qu'un certain Stratten se rendit à terre, qui déclara être le capitaine du navire \"La Marthe\". Et produisit des papiers de bord qui établissaient en effet la nationalité anglaise de ce bâtiment.\n\nL'enquête eut cependant lieu. Le capitaine du port en chargea le sous-lieutenant Goubareff. Cet employé était assisté de M. Khamiakoff et de l'auditeur supérieur Soltyshoff.\n\nNous avons joint à ce rapport les pièces de cette enquête.\n\nCes pièces montrent que, d'après les lettres de mer, le navire \"Martha\" du capitaine Stratten, jaugeant 153 tonneaux, appartient à Mr John Armstrong, marchand anglais habitant le port de Victoria de l'île de Hong Kong. Qu'il est confié au commandement de Stratten, et que sa destination est pour les îles Sandwich et autres de l'océan Pacifique.\n\nHedges n'est point porté sur les rôles de l'équipage. Stratten déclare que celui-ci était à bord, comme subrécargue, et qu'il lui avait momentanément confié le commandement à cause de sa connaissance des côtes du Kamtchatka.\n\nLes déclarations écrites de Hedges et Stratten, en réponse aux questions qui leur furent adressées par la commission d'enquête, n'expliquent aucunement les circonstances mystérieuses et le véritable but de l'apparition du navire sur nos côtes.\n\nLe relevé de la cargaison qui se trouvait à bord du navire, et dont la liste est annexée, semble offrir quelques renseignements sur son expédition.\n\nIl apparaît que le navire était engagé dans un commerce illicite avec les naturels de la Côte, et que l'armement qu'il portait indique que non seulement il avait été fait dans la prévision des dangers que courait le navire, mais peut-être dans des vues d'agression.\n\nUne quantité de dents de morse, d'habits et d'ustensiles qui étaient à bord prouvent la pratique du commerce avec les naturels, mais que l'espionnage n'était pas incompatible avec les intentions des étrangers, qui de tout côté étaient signalés à nos autorités.\n\nPage 91",

Ditropawlork, interprétant trop largement l'article XI de la convention de St. Pétersbourg du 10 Février 1828, conclut avec Cafrands Aretaque la permission de reprendre la marchandise confisquée par le Général de la Sibérie Occidentale des faits qui résultaient de sa poursuite.\n\nLe dossier de l'enquête qu'il a présenté contient la copie des papiers de bord présentés par ledit capitaine et certifiés conformes.\n\nEn vous transmettant de nouvelles copies que j'en ai fait tirer, ainsi que des questions posées par la commission d'enquête à ces deux individus, je prie V.E. de vouloir bien les communiquer à M. l'Ambassadeur de S.M. Britannique à St. Pétersbourg et lui demander d'une part de faire constater si le navire \"La Martha\" appartient réellement à la marine nationale Anglaise, et de l'autre, après avoir établi que le délit de commerce illicite a été commis en liaison avec les naturels, obtenir la position des coupables.\n\nSi nous avons peut-être le droit de reprocher aux autorités d'un port de mer militaire d'avoir donné une interprétation trop large au dit article, qui même ne se rapporte pas à nos établissements sur la côte de la Sibérie Orientale, le Gouch. Bertache de son côté jugera sans doute qu'il en résulte d'autant plus l'obligation d'appliquer les principes de la justice avec impartialité.\n\nVous voudrez bien, M. le Ministre, appeler l'attention sur l'armement suspect de ce navire qui fait peser sur lui le soupçon de livrer à la piraterie. L'amirauté Anglaise qui s'efforce à l'avenir d'établir partout la sécurité des mers, ne manquera pas, sans doute, de faire rechercher quel but \"La Martha\" poursuivait en transportant 5 pièces de canon et une quantité considérable d'armes qui peuvent servir à l'abordage.\n\nElle trouvera probablement utile de faire soumettre les hommes de l'équipage à un interrogatoire propre à constater s'ils ont eu un engagement sanglant avec les naturels, habitants de nos côtes, et si ces derniers ont été punis.\n\nIl se trouve à bord de \"La Martha\" un citoyen des États-Unis d'Amérique, le médecin Royle, qui a délivré un certificat, et que le natif a précédemment rapporté avoir vu.\n\nJ'ai l'intention d'inviter M. Rodine à recommander au cabinet de Washington de faire de son côté des recherches sur tous les faits dont je viens d'entretenir.\n\nJe joins à cette dépêche une copie de la lettre que j'ai écrite à M. l'Ambassadeur de S.M. Britannique à St. Pétersbourg, en le priant de sous-expédier sa réponse, également ouverte, en donnant tous les renseignements qui pourraient vous être utiles.\n\n92",

Voilà six ans que je ne cesse de réclamer, non pas mes terres, mais mes diamants, qui m'ont été saisis en 1846, à St. Pétersbourg. On m'a offert 100,000 fr., on m'a même donné de misérables à-compte, comme le font des gens insolvables. Lorsque j'estime mes joyaux à plus d'un million, vos agents m'ont fait proposer une pension de 500 fr. par mois, si je voulais renoncer à tous mes droits. Je suis trop bon gentilhomme pour marchander, et, sans débattre la valeur de mes diamants, j'en demande la pure et simple restitution, en désirant seulement que vos agents ne substituent pas en route de fausses pierreries.\n\nSire, il ne me reste pour défense que l'opinion publique; pensez au discrédit qu'elle rejettera sur votre règne en faisant savoir que vous sanctionnez un acte que toutes les lois punissent sévèrement et que la morale de tous les peuples réprouve. Vos agents m'ont dit que vous pouviez faire tout sans qu'on trouve mauvais quoi que ce fût. Ce n'est point là, Sire, ce que pense l'histoire, qui heureusement a peu de faits à reprocher aux princes, dans le genre de celui dont j'ai été victime. Je sais qu'en politique on s'alloue des États, mais on ne s'approprie pas les diamants d'une famille qu'on détrône et qui formeraient pour elle l'unique moyen d'existence, dans l'exil dont vous avez bien voulu me frapper.\n\nC'est avec l'estime qui est due à Votre Majesté que j'ai l'honneur d'être,\n\nLondres, 19 Oct. 1852.\n\n(Signé)\n\nLÉON,\n\nPRINCE SOUVERAIN D'ARMENIE.",

The course of instruction has been, that half the day has been devoted to the study of the Scriptures and books composed under the superintendence of foreigners, and half to the study of the Chinese Classics.\n\n3. A work on geography, published by Mr. Muirhead, at Shanghai, at the expense of Mr. Lancelot Dent, has been introduced into the schools with considerable advantage; and two Chinese pupil teachers, from St. Paul's College, have, since the month of May last, attended the Victoria and Wongneichoong schools once, and latterly, twice a week, for the purpose of teaching English, in which the boys have now begun to show some progress.\n\n4. During the year, there have been several applications, by boys, for admission into St. Paul's College; but one pupil only, from the Wongneichoong school, has been admitted, (but see par. 8).\n\n5. Two of the schoolmasters have died during the year. There were many candidates for the vacancies, and selection was made of those who appeared to have had most experience in teaching, and to be otherwise best fitted for the office.\n\n6. Two members have been added to the committee, the Rev. Mr. Odell and the Rev. Dr. Legge; and this addition may, it is hoped, secure for the schools better supervision, though those in out villages must necessarily be left much to themselves, owing to their distance from Victoria, the difficulty of access to them, and the more important occupations of the members of the committee, which do not permit them to leave the town frequently.\n\n7. Two school-houses have been commenced by the surveyor general; one at Victoria, on a site adjoining the European part of the town, yet overlooking and adjacent to the Chinese part; the other at the village of Wongneichoong. Great improvement will doubtless result from the erection of these buildings, and we trust that his Excellency will see fit to sanction, during the coming year, the erection of similar buildings at the three other villages--Aberdeen, Stanley, and Hong Kong, in lieu of the apartments now used as schoolrooms, which are confined, incurably dirty, and altogether unsuitable.\n\n8. On 4th instant an examination of the scholars was held at St. Paul's College, and prizes were distributed in accordance with the suggestion made in our letter of 13th September last, and approved by his Excellency. After the examination, seven of the most promising scholars were selected by the Lord Bishop of Victoria, and transferred, with their entire satisfaction, to the college, to receive a better course of instruction. Four of these were from the Wongneichoong school.\n\n9. A request was made during the year by the residents at West Point, that a school might be established in their neighbourhood. A similar request was made by the residents of Sookunpoo; and at the outlying village of Sheako, where the population is agricultural and stationary, a school might be set on foot with great benefit to the villagers, who are for the most part too poor to obtain this advantage without assistance.\n\n10. We think that the study of the English language should in this, an English colony, be encouraged as much as possible, not merely in regard to its utility as a mental exercise and a means of obtaining what is valuable in English literature, but in regard to the effects to be produced by such a knowledge in preventing misunderstanding, and establishing a bond of union between the many thousand Chinese who have made this place their residence and the handful of Europeans by whom they are governed.\n\n&c.\n\nHon.

M.'s Plenipotentiary, &c., &c.\n\nGOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.\n\nThe Subjoined Message from Her Majesty The QUEEN to both Houses of Parliament, together with two Supplements to the London Gazette, are hereby published for general information.\n\nColonial Secretary's Office, Victoria, Hongkong, 25th May, 1854.\n\nBy Order,\n\nW. T. MERCER, Colonial Secretary.\n\nMessage from the Queen to both Houses of Parliament, March 27, 1854.\n\nVICTORIA REGINA,\n\nHER Majesty thinks it proper to acquaint the House of Lords that the negotiations in which Her Majesty, in concert with her allies, has for some time past been engaged, with His Majesty the Emperor of All the Russias, have terminated, and that Her Majesty feels bound to afford active assistance to her ally the Sultan against unprovoked aggression.\n\nLords\n\nHer Majesty has given directions for laying before the House of Commons copies of such papers, in addition to those already communicated to Parliament, as will afford the fullest information with regard to the subject of these negotiations. It is a consolation to Her Majesty to reflect that no endeavours have been wanting on her part to preserve to her subjects the blessings of peace.\n\nHer Majesty's just expectations have been disappointed, and Her Majesty relies with confidence on the zeal and devotion of her faithful Commons:\n\nHouse of Lords and on the exertions of her brave and loyal subjects, to support her in her determination to employ the power and resources of the nation for protecting the dominions of the Sultan against the encroachments of Russia.\n\nTUESDAY, MARCH 28, 1854.\n\nDECLARATION.\n\nV. R.\n\nIt is with deep regret that Her Majesty announces the failure of Her anxious and protracted endeavours to preserve for Her People and for Europe the blessings of peace.\n\nThe unprovoked aggression of the Emperor of Russia against the Sublime Porte has been persisted in with such disregard of consequences, that after the rejection by the Emperor of Russia of terms which the Emperor of Austria, the Emperor of the French, and the King of Prussia, as well as Her Majesty, considered just and equitable, Her Majesty is compelled by a sense of what is due to the honour of Her Crown, to the interests of Her People, and to the independence of the States of Europe, to come forward in defence of an Ally whose territory is invaded, and whose dignity and independence are assailed.\n\nHer Majesty, in justification of the course she is about to pursue, refers to the transactions in which Her Majesty has been engaged.\n\nThe Emperor of Russia had some cause of complaint against the Sultan with reference to the settlement, which His Highness had sanctioned, of the conflicting claims of the Greek and Latin Churches to a portion of the Holy Places of Jerusalem and its neighbourhood. To the complaint of the Emperor of Russia on this head, justice was done; and Her Majesty's Ambassador at Constantinople had the satisfaction of promoting an arrangement to which no exception was taken by the Russian Government.\n\nBut while the Russian Government repeatedly assured the Government of Her Majesty that the Mission of Prince Menchikoff to Constantinople was exclusively directed to the settlement of the question of the Holy Places at Jerusalem, Prince Menchikoff himself pressed upon the Porte other demands of a far more serious and important character, the nature of which he in the first instance endeavoured, as far as possible, to conceal from Her Majesty's Ambassador. And these demands, thus studiously concealed, affected not the privileges of the Greek Church at Jerusalem, but the position of many millions of Turkish subjects in their relations to their Sovereign the Sultan.\n\nThese demands were rejected by the spontaneous decision of the Sublime Porte. Two assurances had been given to Her Majesty; one, that the Mission of Prince Menchikoff only regarded the Holy Places; the other, that his Mission would be of a conciliatory character.\n\nIn both respects Her Majesty's just expectations were disappointed.\n\n136\n\nDemands were made which, in the opinion of the Sultan, extended to the substitution of the Emperor of Russia's authority for his own, over a large portion of his subjects; and those demands were enforced by a threat: and when Her Majesty learnt that, on announcing the termination of his Mission, Prince Menchikoff declared that the refusal of his demands would impose upon the Imperial Government the necessity of seeking a guarantee by its own power, Her Majesty thought proper that Her Fleet should leave Malta, and, in co-operation with that of His Majesty the Emperor of the French, take up its station in the neighbourhood of the Dardanelles.\n\nSo long as the negotiation bore an amicable character Her Majesty refrained from any demonstration of force. But when, in addition to the assemblage of large military forces on the frontier of Turkey, the Ambassador of Russia intimated that serious consequences would ensue from the refusal of the Sultan to comply with unwarrantable demands, Her Majesty deemed it right, in conjunction with the Emperor of the French, to give an unquestionable proof of Her determination to support the Sovereign rights of the Sultan.\n\nThe Russian Government has maintained that the determination of the Emperor to occupy the Principalities was taken in consequence of the advance of the Fleets of England and France. But the menace of invasion of the Turkish territory was conveyed in Count Nesselrode's Note to Rechid Pacha, of the May, and re-stated in his Despatch to Baron Brunnow, of the ... which announced the determination of the Emperor of Russia to order his troops to occupy the Principalities, if the Porte did not within a week comply with the demands of Russia.\n\nThe Despatch to Her Majesty's Ambassador, at Constantinople, authorizing him in certain specified contingencies to send for the British Fleet, was dated the 31st May, and the order sent direct from England to Her Majesty's Admiral to proceed to the neighbourhood of the Dardanelles, was dated the 2nd of June.\n\nThe determination to occupy the Principalities was therefore taken before the orders for the advance of the combined squadrons were given.\n\nThe Sultan's Minister was informed that unless he signed within a week, and without the change of a word, the Note proposed to the Porte by Prince Menchikoff on the eve of his departure from Constantinople, the Principalities of Moldavia and Wallachia would be occupied by Russian Troops. The Sultan could not accede to so insulting a demand; but when the actual occupation of the Principalities took place, the Sultan did not, as he might have done in the exercise of his undoubted right, declare war, but addressed a Protest to his Allies.\n\nHer Majesty, in conjunction with the Sovereigns of Austria, France, and Prussia, has made various attempts to meet any just demands of the Emperor of Russia without affecting the dignity and independence of the Sultan; and had it been the sole object of Russia to obtain security for the enjoyment by the Christian subjects of the Porte of their privileges and immunities, she would have found it in the offers that have been made by the Sultan. But as that security was not offered in the shape of a special and separate stipulation with Russia, it was rejected. Twice has this offer been made by the Sultan, and recommended by the Four Powers, once by a note originally prepared at Vienna, and subsequently modified by the Porte, once by the proposal of bases of negotiation agreed upon at Constantinople on the 31st of December, and approved at Vienna on the 13th of January, as offering to the two parties the means of arriving at an understanding in a becoming and honourable manner.\n\nIt is thus manifest that a right for Russia to interfere in the ordinary relations of Turkish subjects to their Sovereign, and not the happiness of Christian communities in Turkey, was the object sought for by the Russian Government; to such a demand the Sultan would not submit, and His Highness, in self-defence, declared war upon Russia, but Her Majesty nevertheless, in conjunction with Her Allies, has not ceased her endeavours to restore peace between the contending parties.\n\nThe time has however now arrived when the advice and remonstrances of the Four Powers having proved wholly ineffectual, and the military preparations of Russia becoming daily more extended, it is but too obvious that the Emperor of Russia has entered upon a course of policy which, if unchecked, must lead to the destruction of the Ottoman Empire.\n\nIn this conjuncture, Her Majesty feels called upon by regard for an Ally, the integrity and independence of whose empire have been recognized as essential to the peace of Europe, by the sympathies of Her people with right against wrong, by a desire to avert from Her dominions most injurious consequences, and to save Europe from the preponderance of a Power which has violated the faith of Treaties, and defies the opinion of the civilized world, to take up arms in conjunction with the Emperor of the French for the defence of the Sultan.\n\nHer Majesty is persuaded that in so acting she will have the cordial support of Her people; and that the pretext of zeal for the Christian religion will be used in vain to cover an aggression undertaken in disregard of its holy precepts, and of its pure and beneficent spirit.\n\nHer Majesty humbly trusts that Her efforts may be successful, and that, by the blessing of Providence, peace may be re-established on safe and solid foundations.\n\nWestminster, March 28, 1854.\n\nDECLARATION.\n\nHER Majesty the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, having been compelled to take up arms in support of an Ally, is desirous of rendering the war as little onerous as possible to the Powers with whom she remains at peace.\n\nTo preserve the commerce of neutrals from all unnecessary obstruction, Her Majesty is willing, for the present, to waive a part of the belligerent rights appertaining to Her by the law of nations.\n\nIt is impossible for Her Majesty to forego the exercise of her right of seizing articles contraband of war, and of preventing neutrals from bearing the enemy's despatches, and she must maintain the...\n\n89",

Several times since the beginning of last year I have strongly urged Mr. Michell to obtain leave of absence and return to England as early as possible fearing that delay might postpone his recovery.

Molsworth\n\nBest M\n\nChich scository for th Clonies.\n\nt.\n\nAny 23/54\n\nTHE following Testimonials from the Judges of the Superior Courts in Ireland, the most distinguished members of the Irish Bar, and the Senior Fellows of the University of Dublin, have been presented to Robert Foster Mullins, Esq., Barrister-at-Law, of Great Charles-street, Dublin, one of the Crown Counsel on the Munster Circuit:-\n\nFrom the Right Hon. D. R. Pigot, Lord Chief Baron of Her Majesty's Court of Exchequer in Ireland.\n\n89, Leeson-street, 20th February, 1850.\n\nMY DEAR MULLINS-I most readily give you the attestation of my knowledge of you, which you desire, since you are of opinion that you may possibly find it useful to refer to it. I am sorry that this is all I can do towards aiding you in your present views; but, as I mentioned to you, I do not interfere in the distribution of Government patronage. I say this although you made no request of me to do so, because from the footing on which we have stood towards each other, you might very fairly expect that if I had the power to serve you I would exert it.\n\nWe went the Munster Circuit together for several years, and from an early period of our acquaintance I watched your career in the profession with an interest which it was natural that I should feel in the career of a friend of Sir Michael O'Loghlen. I was prepared to think highly of your talents and attainments, and what I saw of you, both on circuit and in town, more than fulfilled that expectation.\n\nI have not the least doubt that you would fill with efficiency, ability, temper, and credit, any legal situation, ministerial or judicial, to which you may be appointed in any of our dependencies. You appear to me to have studied the profession well; and I regret that you should deem it more advisable to look abroad for advancement than to seek and await it at home.\n\nWherever you are it will give me sincere gratification to hear of your welfare, and with best wishes for your prosperity and happiness,\n\nI remain, dear Mullins, very faithfully yours,\n\nIreland.\n\nD. R. PIGOT, Chief Baron.\n\nRobert Foster Mullins, Esq., 17, Great Charles-street.\n\nFrom the Honorable Justice Torrens, Senior Puisne Judge of Her Majesty's Court of Common Pleas in\n\nGrenville-street, Dublin, March 23rd, 1852.\n\nMY DEAR SIR-I have great pleasure in responding to your request to add my testimony to the many distinguished persons who have certified their opinion of your professional merits. Having had the satisfaction of witnessing your method of conducting business, both on your circuit and in the superior courts, I feel no difficulty in giving it as my opinion that I consider you well qualified, from your time of life, standing at the bar, and from your experience and practice, to fill a judicial or legal official situation in some of our Indian presidencies, or in some of our principal colonial possessions. Your distinguished course in our University, and the succession of its honors which you obtained, guarantees to the public the appointment of a scholar, whilst your professional attainments, founded on the basis of diligence and learning, give a well-founded assurance that in your judicial or official capacity you will fulfill the expectations of your friends.\n\nI regret that the depression of all legal business in this country, owing to the calamitous times we have experienced, should induce you to seek for professional advancement elsewhere than in your own country.\n\nBelieve me, dear Sir, with earnest wishes for your welfare and success,\n\nYours faithfully,\n\nROBERT TORRENS,\n\nSenior Puisne Judge of the Court of Common Pleas in Ireland:\n\nTo Robert Foster Mullins, Esq., Barrister, Dublin.\n\nFrom the Right Hon. John Richards, one of the Barons of Her Majesty's Court of Exchequer in Ireland\n\nCastle Park, Dalkey, January 23rd, 1850.\n\nDEAR SIR-In reply to your application to me, I feel that you are entitled to an expression of my opinion, such as you desire, if you consider that such a matter can be of use to you. In compliance, therefore, with your wishes, I shall, if applied to, be at all times ready to state that I have seen you employed professionally on the Munster Circuit on different occasions, and that I always considered that you conducted your business in a very creditable manner.\n\nI am, dear Sir, yours very faithfully,\n\nJOHN RICHARDS.\n\nTo Robert Foster Mullins, Esq., Barrister-at-law.\n\nFrom the Right Hon. N. Ball, one of the Justices of Her Majesty's Court of Common Pleas in Ireland.\n\nStephen's-green, February 10.\n\nMY DEAR SIR-Having been requested by you to state what I know of your qualifications for an appointment connected with your profession of the bar, I feel gratified in being able to say, that from the experience I have had of your practice on the many occasions when I have gone the Munster Circuit, I consider you fitted for any position to which capacity and knowledge of his profession entitle a barrister to be appointed.\n\nR. F. Mullins, Esq.\n\nI am, my dear Sir, most faithfully yours,\n\nN. BALL.\n\nFrom the Right Hon. Richard Moore, one of the Justices of Her Majesty's Court of Queen's Bench in Ireland.\n\nMarch 25th, 1852.\n\nMY DEAR SIR-As you seem to think that the expression of my opinion of your professional and private character may be of service to you, I with pleasure comply with your request. When I filled the office of Attorney-General for Ireland, you were recommended to me by Mr. Bennett, the leader of the Munster Circuit, as a fit person to be appointed one of the Counsel to Prosecute for the Crown, and acting on that recommendation, and the result of my own inquiries, I appointed you to that office. I have since had judicial opportunities of witnessing your professional conduct, and I willingly bear testimony to your ability in the discharge of your duty on circuit and in town, and also to your gentlemanly character and deportment.\n\nBelieve me, dear Sir, very truly yours,\n\nTo Robert Foster Mullins, Esq., Great Charles-street.\n\nRICHARD MOORE,\n\n513",

Francis Blackburne, Ex-Chief Justice of Her Majesty's Court of Queen's Bench, and also Ex-Chancellor of Ireland.\n\n1st February, 1851.\n\nFrom the testimonials of the very eminent members of the Munster Circuit in favor of Mr. Mullins and from my knowledge of his character, I have no hesitation in saying that he is eminently qualified to fill the office of Professor of Law, for which, as he informs me, he means to be a candidate.\n\nF. BLACKBURNE, Chief Justice,\n\n[The above testimonial was received from the Right Hon. Francis Blackburne, then Chief Justice of the Court of Queen's Bench, and afterwards Lord Chancellor of Ireland, when Mr. Mullins intended to offer himself a candidate for the Professorship of Law then vacant.]\n\nFrom Master Murphy.\n\n24th January, 1850, Chancery Office, Four Courts.\n\nMY DEAR MULLINS-I am happy to be called upon to state my opinion of your professional and private character.\n\nThis I am fully enabled to do, from a long and perfect acquaintance with both having been for many years a fellow-laborer with you on circuit, during which time, as well as since my appointment to my present office, our friendship has always been intimate and uninterrupted. With these means of knowledge, and uninfluenced by any partial impressions which they might naturally create, I can safely undertake the responsibility (for such I do consider it) of strongly recommending your claims to a professional appointment.\n\nYour practice at the bar has, as far as my observation and information can reach, been marked by zeal, diligence, and ability; and, moreover, by gentleman-like bearing, and a high sense of honor and self-respect-I have said information, because I have several times, in your absence, heard the Judges on circuit, and the leading members of our bar, who practised in the Criminal Court, speak in the very highest terms of the manner in which you have conducted the cases entrusted to you; and I know that there were very few persons of whom my lamented and admirable friend, Sir Michael O'Loghlen, entertained a higher opinion, or for whom he felt a more sincere regard.\n\nI am old-fashioned enough to think that literary and classical acquirements may, even in our practical day, have some influence in the selection of persons to fill public appointments when combined with adequate professional knowledge; and if so, your high college reputation, of which you can have no difficulty in procuring testimonials, ought to be of use to you. I will conclude by saying, most sincerely, that upon every ground, public, professional, and personal, you have my earnest wishes for your success in obtaining a suitable appointment, and that you are at liberty to make use of this letter in any way in which you or your friends may deem beneficial.\n\nYour's truly,\n\nJEREMIAH JOHN MURPHY, M.C.\n\nTo Robert Foster Mullins, Esq.\n\nFrom Montifort Longfield, Esq., LL.D. and Q.C., one of the Commissioners for the Sale of Incumbered Estates in Ireland.\n\nFitzwilliam-square, February 25th, 1850.\n\nMY DEAR SIR-I feel much pleasure in observing that your success in your profession, and the high opinion entertained of you by our legal brethren correspond with the expectations which your distinguished career in the University led your friends to entertain.\n\nFrom your general attainments, I feel no doubt that you will honorably fill any legal post to which you may be appointed either at home or in one of the Colonies.\n\nI am, dear Sir, your's faithfully,\n\nM. LONGFIELD.\n\nTo R. Foster Mullins, Esq.\n\nFrom Sergeant O'Brien.\n\n22nd January, 1850, 92, Stephen's-green.\n\nMY DEAR MULLINS-I understand that you are about applying for some legal appointment, and I feel great pleasure in stating my opinion of your qualifications for promotion.\n\nOur acquaintance has been one of many years, and the various intercourses I have had with you enable me to add my testimony to that of others as to your legal knowledge and ability, your uniform diligence in your profession, and the correct and honorable manner in which you have acted in the discharge of your business. I am sure your promotion would be a source of gratification to many of your professional friends, and that upon trial you would justify the opinion we have formed of you.\n\nBelieve me, your's sincerely,\n\nJAMES O'BRIEN.\n\nFrom George Bennett, Esq., QC, the Leader of the Munster Circuit.\n\nMerrion-square, 10th January, 1850.\n\nMY DEAR MULLINS-In reply to your wish expressed that I should state my opinion of you as a barrister and gentleman, I have great pleasure in stating that having known you on my circuit for above twelve years,\n\nI can certify to your gentlemanly conduct, your professional diligence and ability, and your correct and efficient discharge of your business, and should feel happy to recommend you for any situation in your profession to which you may look. Indeed I have already given a specimen of my high opinion of you when I recommended you to be employed as one of my assistants in the Crown prosecutions on the Munster Circuit, which I did about four years ago, as well as I recollect. You are quite at liberty to refer any person whatever to me to give you my recommendation, which I will feel a pleasure in doing.\n\nI remain, my dear Mullins, faithfully your's,\n\nGEORGE BENNETT, Q.C., Father of the Munster Bar:\n\nTo Robert Foster Mullins, Esq.\n\nFrom Jonathan Henn, Esq., Q.C.\n\nUpper Merrion-street, 15th January, 1850.\n\nMY DEAR MULLINS-As I have gone the Munster Circuit ever since you joined it and have had ample opportunity of observing your conduct, I feel happy in bearing my testimony to your diligent attention, and to the ability with which you have uniformly discharged your professional duties. I assure you it will give me great pleasure to hear that you have been appointed to some really good situation. I mean such a one as may gratify your own honorable ambition, and as your merits in my opinion entitle you to expect.\n\nBelieve me, very sincerely your's.\n\nJ. HENN.\n\nTo Robert Foster Mullins, Esq.\n\nFrom Henry Martley, Esq., Q.C.\n\n15, Harcourt-street, 25th January, 1850.\n\nMY DEAR MULLINS-You are fully entitled to call upon me for my opinion as to your professional character and qualifications, though it cannot be of any service to you in furthering the object which you have in view-of obtaining a professional appointment from the Government.\n\nI have had the pleasure of meeting you in professional intercourse for many years, and it may be sufficient to say that my experience of your legal attainments and personal character fully accords with the high testimonials you have received from Mr. Bennett and Mr. Henn-men whose good opinion, whatever may be your fortunes in life, you may be justly proud of having acquired.\n\nI have no doubt you will discharge the duties of any office to which you may be appointed with efficiency and advantage to the public, and I regret that I can contribute to your success only by my good opinion and good wishes.\n\nBelieve me, my dear Mullins, your's very faithfully,\n\nHENRY MARTLEY.\n\nTo R. Foster Mullins, Esq.\n\nFrom Gerald Fitzgibbon, Esq., Q.C.\n\nJanuary 25th, 1850.\n\nMY DEAR MULLINS--I have had the pleasure of knowing you at the bar, both as a friend and a lawyer, almost since you were called to the profession, and have been concerned in cases with you. I should feel it much easier to express the opinion which I entertain of you to any other person than yourself. I can very truly say that I know very few of your standing at the bar, better qualified as to professional acquirements, and none superior in moral and gentlemanly deportment to you. It is due to you, and to those who have to select from our profession, persons of ability and integrity for public offices to express the result of my intercourse with you, and I do so with perfect confidence, that you will do credit to the judgment of those who may appoint you to any office requiring legal ability and moral integrity in the person filling it.\n\nI am, my dear Mullins, very sincerely yours,\n\nGERALD FITZGIBBON,\n\n29, Upper Gloucester-street.\n\nTo Robert Foster Mullins, Esq.\n\nFrom the Hon. John Plunket, Q.C.\n\n30, Upper Fitzwilliam-street, January 19, 1850.\n\nMY DEAR MULLINS-I am very glad to hear you are likely to get promotion, and with great pleasure add my testimonial to the many you have already got of your qualifications as a lawyer and a gentleman.\n\nThe very great distinction with which you passed through the University is the best evidence of your abilities, in addition to which, from twelve or thirteen years acquaintance at the bar, I can answer for your continued attention, good temper, and good sense. I have no doubt that you will perform the duties of whatever office you may get with credit to yourself, and in every respect to the satisfaction of those who may appoint you. With best wishes for your success believe me always,\n\nVery truly your's,\n\nJOHN PLUNKET.\n\nTo Robert Foster Mullins, Esq., Barrister-at-law.\n\nFrom the Rev. Thomas Luby, D.D., Regius Professor of Greek, and Senior Fellow of Trinity College, Dublin.\n\nTrinity College, Dublin, December 17th, 1849.\n\nI have had the pleasure of knowing Mr. R. F. Mullins, Barrister-at-law, for many years during his course through College.\n\nFROM THE BEGINNING TO THE END HIS COLLEGE CAREER WAS MARKED BY DISTINCTIONS OF THE HIGHEST ORDER. He obtained first place at entrance, several First-Class Classical honors, FIRST OF THE UNIVERSITY SCHOLARSHIPS, and A GOLD MEDAL AND ETHICAL MODERATORSHIP AT HIS DEGREE EXAMINATION. His character, religious and moral, always appeared to me quite unexceptionable, and his conduct most gentleman-like and exemplary.\n\nI feel assured from my knowledge of him, that in whatever official position he may be placed, he will discharge its duties with ability and efficiency.\n\nTHOMAS LUBY, D.D., Senior Fellow, Trinity College, Dublin.\n\nTo R. F. Mullins, Esq., 17, Great Charles-street.\n\nFrom the Rev. George Sidney Smith, formerly Fellow of Trinity College, Dublin.\n\nDecember 13th, 1849.\n\nI had abundant opportunities of knowing the conduct and character of Mr. Robert Foster Mullins (now a member of the Irish bar), having been his College Tutor during his residence in the University of Dublin, a period of seven years.\n\nHe distinguished himself from the first by obtaining the highest honors. His place at entrance marked him as the most prominent Classical Scholar of his Class; this character he maintained by carrying off successive prizes until the Scholarship Examination, when he achieved the high distinction of the first Scholarship.\n\nSubsequently he obtained a Moderatorship and Medal at his Degree Examination in Logical and Ethical Science.\n\nI have pleasure in adding that the conduct of Mr. Mullins was marked by great diligence, regularity, sobriety of deportment, and moral principle during his honorable College career.\n\nGEORGE SIDNEY SMITH, D.D., formerly Fellow and Tutor of Trinity College, Dublin.\n\nTo R. F. Mullins, Esq., 17, Great Charles-street.\n\nFrom the Rev. James H. Todd, D.D., Senior Fellow of Trinity College, Dublin.\n\nI have had the pleasure of knowing Mr. R. F. Mullins during his residence in the University, where he distinguished himself by obtaining many of the highest Undergraduate honors.\n\nHis character as a gentleman, and as a religious and conscientious man, won him the esteem and respect of all who had the pleasure of his acquaintance.\n\nJAMES H. TODD, D.D., Senior Fellow of Trinity College, Dublin,\n\nTo R. F. Mullins, Esq., 17, Great Charles-street.\n\nFrom the Rev. S. Butcher, D.D., Regius Professor of Divinity, and Fellow of Trinity College, Dublin.\n\nTrinity College, Dublin, December 24th, 1849.\n\nI have had the pleasure of a personal acquaintance with Mr. R. F. Mullins, Barrister-at-law, since the period when he first entered the University of Dublin.\n\nHis University career has been one of very eminent distinction. At the Entrance Examination he obtained the first place; at the subsequent Term Examinations he was equally successful, having obtained several Classical Honors of the First Class.\n\nHe was the first of the University Scholars in his year, and at his Degree Examination came out with an Ethical Moderatorship of the highest Class, and a Gold Medal.\n\nHis moral conduct I have always regarded as most exemplary, and in his deportment I have always found him most strictly correct and gentleman-like.\n\nFrom all that I know of his attainments and character, I feel satisfied that the duties of any official station in which Mr. Mullins might be placed, would be discharged by him with credit to himself and advantage to others.\n\nS. BUTCHER, D.D., Fellow and Tutor, Trinity College, Dublin.\n\nTo R. F. Mullins, Esq., 17, Great Charles-street.\n\n519",

I can see no reason why the line should not be altered, thus reducing the area to be filled up in front of these two lots, but also reducing considerably the expense of building the sea-wall, since in the depth of the water the difference is very considerable at that point.\n\nI must further remind you that some time ago a Petition was presented to Government by holders of Lots in the River Bazaar, who wished to extend their boundaries, and are ready to do so at their own expense, and pay rent for the ground obtained: Amongst them were some, who now, as holders of one or other of the 18 lots, object to the Proposal.\n\nI have been induced to lay my opinions on this subject before you, because His Excellency, the Governor, has more than once expressed a wish that I should do so.

        "content_text": "24\n\n1855.\n\nMemorandum of Is It is also the first year in which a surplus, sufficing to the undertaking and completion of the great work, has been declared in the Colonial Treasury. The more pressing among the other works contemplated by Sir Henry Pottinger, and enumerated by Mr M. Martin as improbabilities or impossibilities, have by succeeding Governors been, one by one, accomplished. If the Praya be now commenced, the project cannot be said to have slumbered in the interval, pending (No. 14.)\n\nNeither can it with truth be said that anything ever occurred to disabuse the public mind of the belief which Hongkong Blue Books from 1846 was certainly there in 1843 and 1844, as to the intentions of Government. Vague and ambiguous assertions to the effect that the Government always led the Marine-Lot-holders to believe that they were at liberty to reclaim seaward for themselves, have been freely ventured—but these, wholly unsupported by even the attempt at proof, by degrees narrowed themselves, first to the period of the first formation of the Colony,—and, when that was proved to have been impossible, then to the period of the first issue of Crown Grants, and so from period to period, until at length they have dwindled down to two dubious cases, which are said to have occurred during the Governorship of Sir George Bonham,—one in the Year 1854, the other at a date not stated to us. It is only with specific instances like these that it is possible to grapple; and the particulars of these two instances will be found not undeserving of a brief passing notice, independently of the fact that they are the only cases adduced before us to prove anything like an official \"encouragement\" having been ever given to any purprestures on the part of Marine Lot-holders, past or present. \nEvidence of Andrew Shortrede, Esq., p. pend. 1.\nEvidence of the Honble Mr Edger, in Append. I.\nAntrobus, Esq., and Y. J. Murrow, Esq., in Append. I.\nMr Antrobus's evidence, in Append. I.\nIbid.\nEvidence of R. C. Autrobus, Esq., in Append. I.\n\nA gentleman who has confessed a purpresture committed by himself in 1854, and who had more than once asserted, with some emphasis, the existence of a \"general understanding that lands reclaimed would not be interfered with by Government, nor the parties' rights of access to the Sea prejudiced by the Act,\" was at length asked to state the circumstances which had produced that impression, so far as he and his firm were concerned.\n\nHis answer is a curious illustration of the proneness of these gentlemen to deceive themselves. It appears that the present Surveyor-General, Mr Cleverly, and the late Governor, Sir George Bonham, gave him, in 1854, a verbal assurance that he would not be prosecuted or called to account for his encroachment, \"They gave me,” he adds, \"no further assurances.\" This mere indemnity against punishment, if it be even that, he at once interpreted into a renunciation or waiver of a Crown right! Another witness, also a Marine-Lot-holder, was perfectly satisfied, he said, that he had received very recently an encouragement from the Governor himself to encroach upon the sea-shore in front of his lot, and reclaim it. On being requested to condescend to particulars, he stated that the Governor in question was Sir George Bonham,—that Sir George Bonham had told him, in answer to his questions, that he had no power to authorize his intended purpresture, or to make him any \"title\" to the land when he should have reclaimed it,—that all that he (the Governor) could say was, that, unless his (the tenant's) neighbors complained, Government would not prosecute him for the encroachment, and that, in his (the Governor's) \"private opinion,\" the tenant would be \"all right;\"—but that the tenant must understand, that what he might do would be done at his own risk, and that he (the tenant) must hold himself responsible for the consequences. It is difficult to appreciate the amount of “encouragement\" contained in these words of Sir George Bonham.\n\nOne useful suggestion may be gathered from this mass of incoherent asseveration and unsupported pretension, and it is, that the representatives of Her Majesty in this island cannot be too careful to avoid even the appearance of concession of Crown rights, lest perchance it be turned against the Crown at some distant day, into evidence of acquiescence in favor of a larger or more general one. In this point of view alone we would strongly advise Your Excellency, in the matter of the application of Messrs Lindsay & Co., referred to us for our opinion, not to take it into consideration until the plan of the Praya has been finally approved and made public, and the work commenced. \nLetter of Messrs Lindsay & Co., applying for Sea-frontage, and Mr Duddell's counter memorial, both of which were referred to the Commission by His Excellency, in Append. II, (No. 17.)\nEvidence of Mr Murrow and Mr Duddell, in Append. I.\n\nIn considering whether any indulgence ought to be shewn to the Marine-Lot-holders, beyond the not unreasonable one of overlooking the encroachments already committed, and of allowing as well those offenders as the holders in general to become purchasers, without competition, of the reclaimed lands fronting their respective Lots, it is surely a very important fact that, with the exception of Mr Murrow and Mr Duddell, who approved of the Government Notification of the 10th November last, Mr Pustau, who attended the Meetings of Marine-Lot-holders, but took no part either way \"in the proceedings which ended in the too liberal proposals of Government contained in that Notification being rejected by a very large majority of the Marine-Lot-holders, the Hon Mr Edger, who did not attend the meetings, but appears to have approved of their result, and R C. Antrobus, Esq., of the firm of Messrs Lindsay & Co. (the only one completely identified with the majority of that class of Crown tenants, and their Notification of the 10th November, 1855, in Append. I, (No. 15.) not one has either presented himself to be examined, nor acceded to our invitations to that effect. One gentleman, indeed, who, with Mr Antrobus, distinguished himself as one of the most active promoters of those meetings, and who represented his firm there (that of Messrs Dent & Co.), at first consented to come and be examined on a day specially named to suit his convenience; but he neither appeared, nor excused his non-appearance. On this subject we beg to refer to our Minutes, and will merely add, that the general unwillingness of the Marine-Lot-holders, who profess to apprehend loss or injury to themselves by reason of the formation of the Praya, to afford any evidence in illustration of their asserted claims to equitable consideration, ought of itself to deprive the claimants of all expectation that their supposed claims will receive any consideration at all.\nEvidence of Mr Pustau, in Append. I.\nEvidence of the Honble Mr Edger, in Append. I.\nMinutes of the 8th, 9th, and 10th March, 1856, in Append. I.\n\nIt cannot be supposed that their mere allegations are to be taken as proofs. We have been thus far minute in tracing the real history of the Marine-Lot question, because it is the only key to the solution of the Second Question referred to us. Those Marine-Lot-holders who have hitherto reclaimed portions of the Crown's domain without title from the Crown, and have converted the lands so reclaimed into their own tenement and farm,\" an offence in itself for which they are even now liable to punishment, cannot, as it seems to us, stand in a better position than those Marine-Lot-holders whom the Crown may think fit to admit into occupancy and enjoyment of those portions of the Crown's domain, which will, by or at the expense of the Crown, be reclaimed hereafter. In either case a full rent ought to be received—and we think that the rate payable upon ordinary Crown lands, sold in Lots for building purposes, affords a very moderate criterion whereby to determine the amount.\nEvidence of Mr Murrow, in Append. I.\n\nIt is, we think, a mischievous suggestion that some deduction should be made in favor of those who have reclaimed but not built houses to let, nor derived profit in the shape of toll or otherwise, or of those who, being hereafter admitted into occupation of lands to be reclaimed by the Crown, shall content themselves in like manner with the mere enlargement of their borders, not seeking therein their own pecuniary advantage. It would be a difficult distinction to establish in the proof;—and, were it ever so well established, still there remains the objection, well put by another witness, that it is not the inclination of the tenant to use his holding in this or that manner, but that of the use and occupation in whatever manner, that imposes the liability to rent. We may add that, in either case, the detriment to the public is the same. The land is equally withdrawn from public use. The Crown is but the Trustee for the Public.\nEvidence of Mr Duddell, in Append. I; and compare Evidence of Mr Murrow and the Honble Mr Edger, in Append. I.\n\nAnother distinction, which has been rather hinted at than suggested, would deserve to be called puerile, but that the consequences to which any recognition of it must lead, are of frightful moment. It would seem that there are those who distinguish \"China houses\" from \"European houses,\" and apply a different rule to the one and to the other. It is admitted that the holder of the property, however unwilling to build, has the right to, change his mind, and build and let to tenants; and one witness goes so far as to say that such a case may be considered a reason for an enhancement of his rent. But as to \"China Houses,\" there appears to be no doubt. The witnesses say that these have already, in proportion as they have been erected upon the reclaimed lands, injured the rentals of the houses in the Queen's Road, and tended to convert it into a back street. They ought therefore to be heavily assessed; not so the European houses so erected. Their cost is great, and the risk enormous; they have a strong tendency to disappear into cavities formed by the wash of the sea,—and, whilst they last, they are used as Offices and Stores, and not for Chinamen's dwellings.\nMr Shortrede.\nIbid.\nEvidence of Andrew Shortrede, Esq., Append. I.\n\nIt appears to us that the mere enunciation of this theory suffices to shew its folly and injustice. Nor can we in any way accede to the opposite opinion, advanced by one respectable witness, that in assessing these rents, a distinction should be made in favor of Chinese Crown Tenants.\n\nAn absolute equality of rights and duties, without regard to colour, to creed, or to condition, is the only sound basis of all government. In this remote part of the British Empire, inhabited by a handful of Europeans and 70,000 Asiatics, it would be above all impolitic to do anything which might seem to call that truth in question;—and we must strongly protest against every such attempt, in whatever interest it may have been ventured.\n\nUpon a general review of all the considerations to which we have adverted, we think that the Government will not be justified in allowing any distinction whatever between lands reclaimed by intruders, and lands reclaimed by the Crown, in assessing the amount of rental. In either case the rate of rent should be one, uniform and equal.\nLetter of Mr Rienecker of the 5th January, 1856, in Append. II, (No. 16.)\n\nIf Mr Rienecker's computation of £3031, as the sum total of rent to be received from the frontage of the existing eighteen Marine Lots, be approved by Your Excellency, the rate of Assessment by which it is to be levied will be one of 15s. to every 100 superficial feet. But whether that or a more moderate revenue be anticipated from the lands in question, the rate by which it is to be assessed ought to press equally upon all who have to bear it.\n\nWe conclude our observations upon this branch of the subject matter of reference, by reminding Your Excellency that it is perfectly optional with the Government, either to sell to such as will bid for them any reclaimed lands in which the holder of the Marine Lot in the rear may decline to take, or to proceed under the resumption clause of his lease, and oust him from the Lot itself. In the latter case, it rests with the Surveyor-General alone to decide the question of his compensation;—and on that point again we have to remark a very extraordinary error which appears to exist as to the duty of Government, and which is stated—erroneously perhaps by one witness, who labors under the delusion, to have been produced, so far as he was concerned, by a conversation with the late Acting Attorney General.\nEvidence of Y. J. Murrow, Esq., in Appendix I.\nEvidence of Andrew Shortrede, Esq., in Appendix I.\n\nA witness, whose opinions deserve all attention, considers that the co-operation of the willing Marine Lot-holders with the Crown as representing the unwilling, will tend to the more easy, cheap, and expeditious execution of the proposed work. He also thinks that Your Excellency's Government has not the means at present to bear so large an outlay, and that it will therefore be an improvement upon the plan proposed in the First Question, if the modification suggested by the Third be adopted. In that case, he thinks, the Government might advantageously agree with the Lot-holders, on executing their portions of the Praya to the satisfaction of the Surveyor-General, either to repay them their outlay, or to remit their rent of the lands reclaimed by them, for a period proportioned to the amount of expenditure incurred. On the other hand, we have been assured by a Marine Lot-holder who takes an active part against the Government plan in any shape, that he believes that the Marine Lot-holders never will co-operate with the Government in the execution of a work to which they are, upon principle, most hostile. Every other witness who has been examined dissents from Mr Shortrede's view, and agrees with Mr Antrobus in the opinion that the decision of this question is, in fact, involved in that of the First Question; the reasons by which they are to be determined being in fact the same, if not in degree, at least in principle. We confess that such is also our opinion.\nEvidence of R. C. Antrobus, Esq., in Append. I.\nEvidence of Mr Duddell, in Append. I.\n\nThe Bonham Strand portion is regarded by those witnesses, who are familiar with the locality and the peculiarities which belong to it, as the portion least open to animadversion, and as one which ought, if the arrangements of the Government permit, to be begun and accomplished with all possible despatch. Concurring thoroughly in that opinion, we would direct Your Excellency's especial notice to the evidence of a gentleman by whom the Praya has been considered in a sanitary point of view, and to that of another gentleman by whom it has been similarly regarded in its relation to a proper system of Police, and which have left no doubt in our minds that, if any Section of the work ought to be begun or finished before the residue, that Section is precisely that which Your Excellency describes as the Bonham Strand portion of the Praya.\nEvidence of Messrs Antrobus, Murrow, Pustau, and Duddell, in Appendix I.\nEvidence of Mr J. Shortrede, Ibid.\n1856, in Append. II, (No. 18 & 16.)\nEvidence of Mr Duddell in Appendix I.\n\nSome diminution appears to have been long going on in the depth of water at the several wharves and landing-places. The recess or wash of the sea is a probable cause, and to this the large accumulations of earth and rubbish brought down by the drains and sewers, particularly in the rainy season, are certainly to be added. What was the line of low-water mark at the formation of the colony, is said to be that of the present high-water mark. It is an evil more likely to increase than diminish; and, far from agreeing in the strictures contained in the Colonial Treasurer's Plan and Letter of the 5th January 1856, as to the too great extent of the plan of the Surveyor-General (Mr Cleverly), we think that it may be well worth His Excellency's consideration whether some further extension of the plan may not be advisable to be adopted. One intelligent witness indeed is of opinion that the Praya ought to be carried so far into the sea as \"to enable large steamers and ships to lie alongside, and passengers and goods to pass to and fro without being obliged to employ boats.\" The point deserves all consideration. But whether the Praya can be carried to that depth seaward is a question of ways and means, which Your Excellency alone can determine.\nPlan and Letter of the Surveyor-General of the 28th December, 1855; and also Letter of Mr Rienecker of the 5th January 1856.\n\nThe arrangements for enabling the public to enjoy their rights of access to the sea, for the purpose of shipping and landing, embarking and disembarking, are described as having been from the early days of the colony altogether inadequate. There can be no doubt that they are now palpably and disgracefully so. All persons, except the owners of private wharves, suffer enormous inconvenience and damage from this state of things. It is probable, too, as related by one witness, that the unfortunate Chinamen, ignorant of their rights and our duties, are the principal sufferers, and that the facility thus afforded of \"squeezing\" their traders, by extortions in the name of \"toll thorough,\" is a temptation which some Marine Lot-holders have not had the virtue to resist.\nEvidence of Mr Murrow, Mr Duddell, and Mr Antrobus, in Append. I.\nEvidence of Andrew Shortrede, in Appendix I.\n\nPrivate wharves are of course private property, and the owners do what they will with their own. It is stated that they are, generally speaking, now anxious to accommodate the public with the use of their wharves, whether for goods or passengers; but, if this be true, it is a truth hard to be reconciled with their own theory, that the loss of privacy, consequent upon the formation of a Praya, can be either a \"nuisance\", or an \"annoyance\", or an \"injury\" to those gentlemen in their business. One and the same contradiction pervades their entire case. At one moment they are represented as persons who have been forced to encroach on the sea in order to get landing-places for the community; and as having reclaimed ground, constructed sea-walls, and built wharves for the common use of the public, not merely for their own. At another moment we are told, on the same authority, that they do not want any Praya at all, that they do not want any land to be reclaimed,—and that they object to be made to occupy and pay rent for it. It is quite clear that the sooner these contrarieties are smoothed, and an intelligible and broad rule of law laid down whereby to adjust the hitherto violated common law rights of the Crown and the public with the personal interests of the leading Merchants, the better alike for the few and for the many. We think that the claim to erect and maintain private wharves is a privilege, and as a privilege that it ought to be jealously regarded. The enjoyment of it must not be suffered to operate to the common annoyance of the subjects, or to the prejudice of the Crown. The fullest access to and from the Praya, seaward and landward, is a matter of public right. We think that the suggestions appearing in our minutes of evidence on this head are useful—but we forbear to express any opinion as to their sufficiency, a matter which may be thought doubtful. Neither are we prepared on our own part to add to the recommendations which have been laid before us, some which have occurred to ourselves, but which, so long as the port is unprovided with a system of police, we think impracticable. Otherwise we might have offered a few words upon the expediency of providing drainage and other conveniences of the kind at moderate but adequate rates of remuneration to the Government, and of establishing by stringent regulation the order of embarkation and disembarkation at the public wharves. But as we heartily concur in thinking that the whole and sole supervision of the work whilst in progress, and the conservation of it when finished, ought to be vested in the Surveyor-General, with full powers to carry his instructions into effect, we also think that these details of his general duty may be safely confided to the security which his official responsibility affords. We also think that, until the Praya is completed, as little as possible should be conceded to any Marine Lot-holder in addition to his existing sea-frontage, in order that the existing accommodations at the command of the public, for landing and shipping of goods and passengers, miserable as those accommodations are, may not be further diminished.\nSee the application of Messrs Lindsay & Co., in their letter of referred to the Commission by His Excellency.\n\nIn concluding our Report, we hope to be allowed to mention a fact which has occasioned all of us the greatest satisfaction in the discharge of the onerous and important duties with which we have been charged. We have been enabled to conduct our Enquiry in public, so far at least as regards the taking of evidence. It is impossible to overrate the great addition which the publicity of the examination gives to the authority of the evidence. But this is not the only advantage. We close our Enquiry in all certitude of being free from the reproach of partiality and injustice, as we are unquestionably free from the kindred one of concealment.\nSee the Notification of the 5th March 1856, published in the Friend of China of that date, in China Mail of 6th March 1856, and the Hongkong Government Gazette of the 8th March 1856.\n\nAll which we humbly certify to Your Excellency.\n\nCouncil Room, Government Offices, 24th March, 1856,\n\nTo HIS EXCELLENCY\n\nSIR JOHN BOWRING, LL.D.,\n\n&c., &c., &c.\n\nT.

Jardine, Matheson & Co.'s office and godowns; and they seemed to have had a good many friends who cried out sufficiently loudly on the injustice of condemning innocent men to death to induce Sir John Bowring to give the men a second trial before himself and the Executive Council.\n\nAfter a lengthened examination of witnesses during two days, we are informed by eye witnesses that the guilt of the men was, if anything, made more apparent.\n\nThe Governor has, however, in deference to popular clamor, seen fit to remit the punishment of death.\n\nBoth in the new trial and in the commutation of punishment, Sir John Bowring has acted in an exceedingly improper manner.\n\nHer Majesty has instituted an Order of Valor to be called the \"Victoria Cross,\" which is only to be conferred during acts of signal bravery before the enemy.\n\nAs to the trial, we have said that we have been informed by eye witnesses that the guilt of the men was, if anything, made more apparent.\n\nThe fire on board the Fiery Cross made such speedy work with the coin that Captain Thoms has to regret the loss of the whole of his cabin furniture and clothes.\n\nThe mail to 11th February is very strong as to the peace congress in Paris, and that is the sum of the news--all else is \"leather and prunella.\"\n\nThe Levant, of 382 tons, for Australia, formerly an American (U. S.) vessel but now flying the Hawaiian flag, was seized by orders of Sir James Stirling for a breach of the Chinese Passenger Act.\n\nThe offence committed is that she had not the requisite papers from the Emigration Officer.\n\nIf she had 320 passengers on board, as stated, she also committed a breach in carrying an excess of passengers.\n\nBut, in addition, she has no ship's papers--all of which, or even two of which, may be considered a good ground for proceeding to the utmost extremity of the law--forfeiture of the ship, and fine and imprisonment of the parties engaged.\n\nBut then arises the question--What are the passengers to do?\n\nWe have heard it stated that the charterer, or owner, or whatever character he holds, has received from 30,000 to 35,000 dollars for passage money, while it is asserted that the value of the ship at the outside is not 10,000.\n\nIt is not an agreeable position for the government to find themselves in, having deprived 320 men of their passage of the value of 30,000 say, and to find themselves with only 10,000 towards reinstating the unfortunate wretches in their former position.\n\nIt looks to us as if the \"Chinese Passenger Act\" is bad, or that it is badly administered; perhaps a little of both, but most likely more of the latter.\n\nIn the first place, the supervision of the ship is not compulsory on the part of the Government.\n\nSecondly, it is only to begin on the application of the Captain to the Emigration Officer.\n\nWas it not advisable to have interfered earlier?\n\nWe desire the death of no man, but so long as the statute book affixes death as the punishment of the highest order of crimes, so long ought these crimes to be punished with death.\n\nAnd we know no greater crime than that of armed gang robbery, where the life of the defenders of property is taken.\n\nIn the case of the Levant, the vessel came into harbor on 16th March, was laid on for passengers, and even when seized on the 23rd ultimo, had been given to the Emigration Officer.\n\nPROCLAMATION.\n\nJOHN BOWRING.\n\nGovernor and Commander-in-Chief of the Colony of Hongkong and its Dependencies, and Vice-Admiral of the same.\n\nThe Sentence of Death recorded against Wong-AKUT, convicted of murder at the last Criminal Session of the Supreme Court, is commuted to that of Transportation for Life; the Sentence of Death passed on Chan-Wah-Kong, Tam-Kut-Heng, Lo-Ah, Cha-Anboon, and Luk-AuH, also convicted at the above Sessions of the same crime, is commuted to that of Transportation for Life; and a Free Pardon is granted to Tam-AKUT, similarly convicted on the same occasion.\n\nBy His Excellency's Command\n\nW. T. MERCER,\n\nColonial Secretary.\n\nGOD SAVE THE QUEEN.\n\nGiven at Victoria, Hongkong, this 26th Day of March, 1856.\n\nLately there have been numerous desertions from the ranks of the 59th Regiment, and many more would doubtless have occurred and the means of getting from the island been as direct as they were when we had more whale-ship recruiting here than we have lately had.\n\nIt being suspected that a number of deserters were secreted on board the American whaler Canton Packet, Inspector Jarman with a party of police proceeded on board that vessel on the evening of the 27th, when nine were ferreted out of their hiding places.\n\nAbout three o'clock yesterday morning, it was noticed that the steamer P&O'slun, which has been lying here for the last five months undergoing extensive repairs, was on fire.\n\nTHE PUBLIC SCHOOL.\n\nThe Annual General Meeting of the Subscribers to the new Public School was held in the Agricultural Society's room on the 24th ultimo.\n\nA Statement showing the Progress and Attendance at \"St. Andrew's School,\" during the year 1855-6.\n\nApril ........ 16\n\nMay ........ 30\n\nJune ........ 36\n\nJuly ........ 38\n\nAugust ....... 37\n\nSeptember ..... 35\n\nOctober ...... 33\n\nNovember ..... 32\n\nDecember ..... 30\n\nJanuary ...... 28\n\nFebruary ..... 26\n\nMarch ....... 25\n\nTotal ....... 62\n\nAverage Attendance 16\n\nPresent: Messrs.

That the Public School established at a meeting of Subscribers on the 3rd March, 1855, be styled \"St. Andrew's School, Hongkong.\"\n\n2. That the School be conducted, as originally established, for the education of Children of every Nation, Religion, or Denomination.\n\n...\n\n8. That the Directors of the School shall be exclusively Laymen, elected by Subscribers at the Annual Meeting.\n\n...",

On turning to the Governor's despatch No 7 Jan. 1856 it will be seen that the Revenue roll of the Colony has had an addition of £3800 and that there was then a surplus of £15,000 put out to the credit of the Victoria Government by the Rt. Honble H. Labouchere, M.P. on 19 July, 1856. Houstons,\n\n1 Inclosure. No117. Received 19 July 1856 and Estimate to Forwarding Report, unterest in the Oriental Bank. Assuming this to be correct, and that it has not been absorbed in any way, there we seem to be money enough to pay for this & the other Contemplated works (by which are to be understood those that are to follow this) than (1.). But the Governor throws some doubt over the notion that he has sufficient means for his project, for he says he is not actually at present in a position to Expend the sum named in the Estimate. He may be so when the time arrives for undertaking it. On the whole therefore I come to the conclusion that it would not be proper to object, altogether to the work submitted by him to the sanction of the Secretary of State, but that he should be required to show how he stands in a pecuniary point of view - now & prospectively - as we can tell at least – and that if his means are proved to be sufficient the Govt will then consider & decide upon Application.\n\nFor Ball if permitted very Confidentially Zomer pune alh. fun, then ABS. 20 Sep. senstein 冷 7 6. plad ། the wik L chrys & sanction further work likely f, H.

Her owner hearing of this in Macao came over to get all the information he could and reported the same to the Police on the 18th, but as he then knew not where his Lorcha was taken to by the Pirates, of course nothing could have been done to recover the same.\n\nHe went back to Macao and arrived there on the 28th where he learned all the particulars of the capture of his Lorcha by ...\n\nsterious circumstances--but perhaps by relating the same it will speak for itself, and bring to light the case of the Lorcha No. 71 above mentioned.\n\nOn the evening of the 27th January the Portuguese ...\n\n1--Par.

For example, \"Wongkong\" should be \"Hongkong\", \"sh. 1000j€rawa\" should be \"sh. 1000\", and \"Brit. bk 670 Dod\" should be \"Brit. bk 670 Dod\" (no change needed here, but \"Brit.\" is an abbreviation for \"British\" which is correct). \"Dut. 764 ric\" should be \"Dut. 764\", and \"Earl of Windeer\" should be \"Earl of Windsor\".\n\n## Step 3\nNext, we need to fix spacing issues. For instance, \"XCR (85)72\" should be \"XCR(85)72\", and \"GR 1178/1922/32 (III)\" should be \"GR1178/1922/32(III)\".\n\n## Step 4\nWe also need to rejoin broken sentences. The text contains many lines that are split due to OCR layout errors. For example, sentences that are broken across lines without a logical reason should be merged.\n\n## Step 5\nRestoring paragraph breaks is another crucial step. The OCR output may have incorrectly merged or split paragraphs. We need to format the text into proper paragraphs based on the content and logical breaks.\n\n## Step 6\nIndicate missing words with \"...\" if a word is clearly missing due to OCR damage.\n\n## Step 7\nThe text should be formatted in standard Markdown. This includes using headers (#, ##, ###), sub-headers, bold-type (**bold**), and tables using Markdown table syntax.\n\n## Step 8\nSince the text is a mix of different documents, including newspaper articles and court transcripts, we need to be careful not to rephrase or rewrite the content. The task is to correct errors and improve formatting without changing the style, tone, or word choice.\n\n## Step 9\nNo translation of text is required, and file references should not have any spacing inside parentheses.\n\n## Step 10\nPage numbering lines, if detected (usually six lines in total, three at the page beginning and three at the end), should be kept as they are, as they were originally used during scanning to delineate page metadata.\n\n## Step 11\nThe output should be in HTML using  for paragraphs and \n only if absolutely necessary.\n\nThe final answer is: \n\n324\n\n25\n\n[NO. 6.

That is my reason, another is, that although I told all the Government Contractors and Chinese to make known the terms of the new Ordinance they have done so, still no notice has been taken by the Chinese of infringing it, thirdly, because under section 11, the heavier would be the penalty upon him I formed that opinion from reading the paragraph in question.\n\n(Signed) William Cowper Acting Surveyor General\n\nThe Sessions resembled having by a majority of four to one considered that works in any way commenced prior to the date of the ordinance do not come under its operation dismiss the Complaint:\n\n(Signed) J.

True, but Clause 44 applies the word distinctly to Clause 3, and thus connects Clause 3 with Clause 11.\n\nNow, as spoken when I spoke to you Eng. my opinion, some time back, a house of which the building has been in continued progress for 3 months to date of Complaint is not a nuisance under Clause 11, as not \"commenced, resumed, prosecuted or finished in contravention of\"",

PEEL AND THE FOREIGN PRESS. The French papers are much amused with Sir Robert Peel's speech, and give copious extracts from it, together with translations from the comments of the London journals. The Assemblée of Saturday devotes an article of four columns to the matter, but it is only remarkable for the feeble attempts made to translate the Yankee expression \"soft sawder.\" The redacteurs of the Assemblée, who probably put their heads together and consulted their dictionaries, give the result of their learned researches in the following note:-*** It is all soft sawder, an expression more American than English, and one which it is impossible to translate literally, sawder' leans a sawyer who handles his saw lazily, and does but little work. A 'soft sawder' is what, in the language of working people, is called un lambin, un grande iche, une poule mouillée.\" Having by this lexicographical process obtained a choice of epithets, the Assemblée selects lambin as the most appropriate, and nervously in the text of the article it is represented that Sir Robert Peel, instead of saying that the grand duke's frankness and cordiality was all \"soft sawder,\" called him a \"great drené\" (lambin.)\n\nIn the matter of the Asiatic Marine Insurance Office. NOTICE is hereby given that by an Order of this Court the shareholders of the said\n\nASIATIC MARINE INSURANCE OFFICE\n\nare required to pay the further sum of Company's Rupees Two thousand\n\non or before the following dates, that is to say the shareholders resident in Calcutta or the suburbs on or before the tenth day of March next, the shareholders resident in Hongkong and Bombay on or before the tenth day of May next, and the shareholders resident in Great Britain and all other places not mentioned in the said Order on or before the first day of August next. And in default thereof the defauling shareholders be adjudged to have committed an Act of Insolvency according to the provisions of the Indian Insolvent Act.\n\nDENMAN, HATCH, & DAVIS. Attorneys for the Official Assignee.\n\nBARRERS Fresh GALLEGO FLOUR, revolved\n\nthe late writer on the brain, says, in a late clinical lecture on the frightful and formidable malady, softening of the brain, would caution you a student to rest, from excessive use of tobacco and smoking, and I would advise you to disabuse your patient's mind of the idea that it is harmless. I have had a large experience of brain disease, and I am satisfied now that smoking is a most noxious habit. I know of no one other cause or agent that so much tends to bring on functional disease, and through this, in the end, to lead to organic disease of the brain, as excessive use of tobacco,”—Dublin Medical Press.\n\nTHOMAS HUNT & Co., Hongkong, March 26, 1857.\n\nFOR SALE.\n\nTHE undersigned has this day established himself as Shipping Agent at this port, in conjunction with PALMER, 3, 10 AM YAN DER HOEVEN of Canton, under the Firm of VAN DER HOEVEN & KOP.\n\nA.

The Jury, a special one, awarded the Plaintiff $1,010, it will be remembered, subject to the Judge's decision on the low point raised by Defendant's Counsel; and our readers, no doubt, are desirous of knowing what has been the result of the matter, and how the disputed point has been arranged. But though, as we have remarked, it is upwards of a month since the trial was reported, from that day to the present we have not heard a word of the threatened kroviment;---so, as the time allowed for the mo time was for some time expired, the verdict of the Jury stands. So much for the verdict whether the award will be forthcoming, or whether we shall obtain even a refund of the costs out of pocket \"are problems the solution of which has yet to be told of \n\nThe Editor of the China Mail, in strictures exhibiting the most extraordinary feeling of sympathy for a suspicious character it has ever been our lot to read, has told the world that, owing to the unjust confinement to which Ah Lum has been subjected, being unable personally to look after his office--he, Ah Lum, is now declared to have become Bankrupt and will have to pass through the Insolvent Court\" and, adds the Editor with an evident hug of gratulation, there will possibly (the italics are ours) be some \"difficulty in recovering the amount of damages.\" Possibly there may--but, at all events, we are placed, by the verdict of one of the most respectable juries ever empanelled in this Colony, in a position to challenge the Insolvent's Balance sheet; and should it be, as we shall not be surprised to find, that Ah Lum's bankruptcy is due as much to his very proper stoppage at business here as to some astounding malversation in the shape of lawyer's fees, or payment of hireling scribes the facts will duly be made patent to the public, and, it will be hoped, produce a salutary effect that the Jury's award will not be altogether lost \n\nThe arrival of the mail prevented the intention of noticing in our last issue a very interesting letter in the Hongkong Register of Tuesday, signed a Catholic Missionary, and of which the intelligent Redacteur of that paper thus remarks.--- \n\nWe publish better from a Roman Catholic Missionary. in reply to some observations by a contemporary as to what ought to be the course of the French in China in his opinion. We don't of course agree with the remarks of our contemporary but we entirely agree with the letter which we publish. Neither the fact nor the spirit are in good taste, and an easy answer could be time to both were worth while which is not. \n\nWhether the letter in question is a reply to our observations--whether it is \"bad taste\" (as one reverend Father disclaims it)--or whether the subject is worth while to notice are all points on which we shall leave our readers to form their own opinions. Here is a translation of such parts of the letter necessary to an understanding of it, and appended is an extract from the speech of His Lordship the Bishop of Victoria, on the 5th of May last, the spirit of which, it rejoices us to find, is entirely in consonance with the honestionsa which May last, the spirit of which, it rejoices us to find, is not our contemporary does not think it worth while to notice. \n\nTranslation, \n\nReferring to the Anglo-French alliance on the China question--the author of the article accuses the French of a desire to impose their religion on Canton by means of bayonets, amusing it (religion) to serve their ambition.\"This alliance so surely desired by Great Britain rests, it is true, on different interests.

Let the owners of water pay 3 cash per load for the water man's wages.\n\nFire—Hongkong ought to put up a reward or prize for any who shall seize a water or miscreant in any Mandarine's employment; and when masters of these shall be convicted under evidence, let a reward of hundred dollars be given to the informer.\n\nAlso, should any shop or dwelling house for want of care allow fire to kindle, let the offender be taken up and receive a thrashing of one hundred blows, made to carry it for three months correction, for not being careful against fire and the sin of involving others. Thus by the establishment of such a rule, men would certainly be careful against the grievous accident with catching animosity.\n\nBarbarians—At present the Mandarines of China have laid an embargo on Hongkong—prohibiting intercourse. Vessels going and passing boats from the neighboring places around perhaps come, perhaps not; perhaps several unite in coming together, to guard against the sea pirates they thus unite. Now the Mandarines have put out a proclamation prohibiting the Chinese from coming to Hongkong, but permitting their return home. We hear it stated that the Mandarines have thus fixed the time to the 1st month of next year—February 1857—before which none are to go or come; if they do they are to be seized as transgressors, and dealt with accordingly. Now although the hoted time has not arrived, still all the vessels that arrive at Hongkong, whether from city or village, should be carefully examined by some trusty conductor of a government boat, as to their business, whence from, name and surname, their age and appearance, and where they intended going in Hongkong; of which write in a book by which there will be a means of examining into the matter. Also, let each vessel examined for soldiers, implements of war, or other suspicious instruments. Examine the oven on board, whether they have anything suspicious in their appearance, and search their persons to see if they have any daggers about them, or any traitorous letters or clues of wicked devices, instantly examining everything on board, after which allow them to go on shore. As the present is a time of war, if there are traitors among the people of Hongkong, many of them rebels taking refuge; besides the men without employment will be many, poor and it is difficult for these to accept to any other occupation. The thieves, though numerous, will be found willing to observe the Laws, and will certainly not be the disturbers of the peace. Their machinations are at war, and it will be found exceeding difficult to effect a translation—apparently the subtle proclamation broadcast over the English were to select a crew of sturdy lads among those who frequent the brothels dispersed over the City. These are principally boasted above spies. Whichever is virtuous, without reference to his claracter, enrolling him as an assistant with $7, $5, $3, implements, the patriotic and bold, and act in unison leader, as actor, may take lodgings in them. No. suppose at and finds; for certain there are such among these, the same time was set above state everywhere capable of leading forward the past to the conquest where there are prostitutes, as the sign.

Recently Dying had planned trend been shut the city, been pleased intercourse, Tell the officials of the English by respectfully writing them to warn again pointing being foreigners, and perhaps, ad agato traži; and trade. into the wells of Hongkong. Suppose the Mandarines and gentry should secretly and in concert at a given time to set fire to the prostitutes' houses, poison the wells, and make an united attack both from the kind and out.\n\nMoreover, they would break the Embargo, placed on Hongkong and also in cutting off supplies, we fear all the dire that like an hell become a reality.\n\n| Jan.

        "content_text": "## Trial Proceedings\n\n### Witness Testimonies\n\n**Mr. McKenzie** deposed: I have a letter written in the Chinese language found on the Prince. I was present at a conversation between De Bridges and Alum which took place in The Gaol. Alum said Ala Friher had a letter, and he gave it me once when asked for by me. This letter is the paper now produced in Court. Neither Mr. De Silver nor Alt Terrant were present at the time, and never are any bread the Eighteen days before in my custody.\n\n**Mr. Foster** deposed: I am connected with the firm of R-se de Co., & Agent. I carry on business on my own account. This is the letter I now produce that I received from Mr. De Saver on the 17th January.\n\n**Tung-se** deposed: I am Alum's servant in Esing's bakery. I served a wooden steamer. The witness recognized most of the prisoners as belonging to Esing's shop.\n\n**Mr. Robinet** deposed: I am a merchant of this city. Both classes are barricaded. The first class pays $2, and the second $1. The bread that came from Esing's shop on the 15th of last month, I was very sick shortly after having partaken of it.\n\n### Trial Continuation\n\nThe Attorney General requested that the witnesses might be kept in Court. Mr. Wade was sent for.\n\n**Mr. Wade** deposed: I am a Clerk to the Colonial Secretary, assisted Mr. May at the investigation. The witness stated that Alum and told him that Alum had made part of his bakery over to Drinkers.\n\n**Wong-a-hee** was placed in the witness box, and Mr. Wade's evidence was read over to him by Mr. Caldwell, but he still persisted that his former evidence was correct.\n\n### Further Witness Testimonies\n\n**Mr. Mockaboonway** deposed: I am Steward of the Shamrock. I was in the habit of purchasing bread from Esing's shop.\n\n**Gourgu Dudceli** deposed: I was formerly proprietor of the biscuit bakery. I know nothing of the prisoners.\n\n**Mr. Antonio Gonnives** deposed: I am Chief Officer of the steamer Shamrock. After 9 A.M. on the morning of the 13th of January, the hour from Esing's shop, I received some bread.\n\n### Defense\n\n**Dr. Bridges** addressed the Court in behalf of the prisoners. He said it was his duty first to apologize to the Gentlemen of the Jury for declining to proceed last night with the defense.\n\nThe learned Counsel said he did not wish to deny that a most diabolical attempt had been made to poison the Foreign community in Hongkong.\n\n### Further Proceedings\n\nThe Judge asked Dr. Bridges if he was ready to go on to-night with his defense. Dr. Bridges requested Thursday at noon.\n\nThe Court adjourned till Thursday at 2 o'clock.\n\n### Thursday Proceedings\n\n**Dr. Bridges** continued his defense, stating that the evidence against Alum, the chief prisoner, was hardly worth noticing.\n\n**Mr. Murrow** deposed: I know the 9th prisoner, Alum. On 14th January, I tendered from the Commissariat department to supply 200,000 lbs. of biscuit for 1 month.\n\n**R.A. Dander** deposed: I am aware of the fact of Alum's having been accepted. Alum had to sign the tender in the first place, and the agreement afterward.\n\n### Further Witness Testimonies\n\n**Mr. Speedon** deposed: I am the United States Consul. I know the 9th prisoner by the name of Alum. I have had contract for bread with him over several years.\n\n**Mr. Agabeg** deposed: I am Agent for the steamer Shamrock at Macao. I remember the 15th January, and the Shamrock arriving at the Praya Grande.\n\n### Friday Proceedings\n\n**The Attorney General** addressed the Court, stating that he had heard with pain Dr. Bridges's declaration that he had visited the prisoners in the Gaol.\n\nThe Court adjourned for 15 minutes.\n\n**Cheong-Ayo** deposed: I am Clerk to Esing's bakery. I was at the bakery on the night of the 14th. A man of the name of Alum was the other overseer.\n\n### Verdict\n\nThe trial concluded with the Judge's instructions to the Jury. \n\n## Sentence\n\nThe Judge sentenced Alum to six months' imprisonment with hard labor.",

Que la introducción de colonos asiáticos, á más de no convenir al país por ser una raza degradada, va degenerando en una especie de trato de negros, que no puede continuar sin ultraje de la humanidad, ni violación de los principios de libertad é igualdad proclamados por el Gobierno. \n\n2o. Que las contratas celebradas son refractarias del art. 1635 del Código Civil, puesto que sin invertirse en provecho de los colonos, sino de la empresa, la crecida cantidad que el patrón desembolsa, se comprometen á prestar sus servicios por largo y determinado tiempo en favor de patrones con quienes no contratan y cuya servidumbre les es vedado variar; \n\n3o. Que el excesivo número de hombres embarcados en buques menores, y la escasez y mala calidad de alimentos han ocasionado la muerte por lo menos de una tercera parte de los colonos; y la llegada al puerto de los restantes con peligrosas enfermedades; \n\n4o. Que algunas veces el rigor empleado en los buques, como un medio consiguiente al engaño y á la violencia con que se hacen estas criminales especulaciones, ha ocasionado repetidas catástrofes que es necesario evitar; \n\n5o.

SOR.-El Fiscal dice: que declarar V.E. que un apoderado puede ir á la China á contratar colonos para sus poderdantes, sería proceder contra lo expresamente dispuesto en la parte resolutiva y considerativa del Supremo Decreto de 5 de Marzo del presente año; que los colonos vengan siquiera, y que desembarcados adopten la industria que les plazca, es el espíritu y la letra del decreto; pero que el apoderado los contrate en China para patrón que no conocen, es quitarles la libertad de que habla el Art. 2o. del decreto; es autorizar el desorden y los males que quiso evitar dicho decreto y es querer, en fin, que V.E. sea contradictorio en sus mejores disposiciones. \n\nEl Fiscal es pues de opinión, que V.E. declare sin lugar esta solicitud; teniendo entendido, que en el Perú, según el decreto citado, no se permite la introducción de chinos de otro modo, que como pueden ingresar á sus puertos cualesquiera otros extranjeros de libre y espontánea voluntad, y solamente con contratos directos ó personales. Sin embargo, V.E. resolverá lo que estime más conveniente. \n\nLima, Octubre 3 de 1856.—VILLARÁN. \n\nLima, á 13 de Octubre de 1856. \n\nPor las razones que expone el Fiscal de la Corte Superior; y estando terminantemente prohibida, por el Art. 1o. del Decreto de 5 de Marzo último, la introducción de colonos asiáticos por medio de contratas; se declara, que solo podrán ingresar en la República los asiáticos que vengan por su espontánea voluntad. Publíquese-Rúbrica de S.E-MAR \n\n(Peruano, No. 26 Tomo 31.) \n\nMas, como las anteriores órdenes no pueden hacerse extensivas á las expediciones iniciadas en el Perú ó en China, antes de expedirse en la República ó de promulgarse el tiempo bastante para que se tenga de ellas conocimiento en esta costa, S.E. el Presidente del Perú, con fecha 7 de Noviembre de 1856, dispuso, que las expediciones ya en vía pudiesen llevarse á cabo sujetándose á las formalidades decretadas anteriormente en la materia; rebajando á solo doce reales ($1.30 cent.) los derechos del Cónsul en China por la certificación duplicada de cada contrata: y quedando, de otro modo, aquellas en el caso de las anteriores resoluciones; esto es, en plena libertad los emigrantes á su ingreso al Perú. \n\nHongkong, Enero 30 de 1857. \n\nNICANOR TEJERINA, Cónsul del Perú en China. \n\n### No. 3.-Lima, á 5 de Marzo de 1858-Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores, &c.-Circular á los Cónsules de la República en China.- \n\nS.E. el Presidente, atendiendo á que los intereses generales de la humanidad y los del comercio peruano exigen, que mientras termina el privilegio concedido para la importación de Colonos Chinos, se adopten todas las precauciones posibles para evitar que se presenten en los buques con bandera nacional los casos de rebelión y de asesinatos que se ha visto en algunas expediciones, ha resuelto que los Cónsules en los puertos de donde salgan las expediciones, autoricen precisamente las contratas que se hagan con dichos colonos; negando su firma cuando estos fueren conocidamente viciosos é enfermos; y examinen también, que los buques se hallen bien provistos, pertrechados y ventilados: y que no se embarquen más colonos que los que puedan transportar sin riesgo en tan larga navegación. Lo comunico á Vd. para su puntual cumplimiento. Dios guarde á V.-JOSE MANUEL TIRADO. \n\nES Copia-Hongkong, Enero 30, 1857. \n\nNICANOR TEJERINA.",

We have a lively recollection of your residence among us in past years. We remember you as the kind friend and neighbour, and the honest, impartial, and faithful magistrate. Borne down by the tide of adversity which overflowed this country in the disastrous year of '47, and subsequently, you, like many others, were forced to yield and try your fortune in a distant land. You have had our heartfelt sympathies in your trials and reverses, and now that, in more prosperous times, you are once again among us, we offer you, from us all, without distinction of creed or class, from your brother magistrates with whom you have acted, from the clergy of all persuasions by whom you were respected, and from the people generally by whom you were beloved, this expression of our welcome and feelings towards you. You have our earnest wishes and prayers for success and happiness.\n\nFebruary 15, 1856.\n\n445\n\nVentry, Burnhamn House, Dingle.\n\n* **D. B.

Be assured, that amid the difficulties with which I had to contend in a distant land, where, borne down by circumstances over which I had no control, I sought to improve my position, I have ever had before me a lively recollection of the happy days I spent among you. And I beg to assure you that, wherever my future lot may be cast, or in whatever position I may be placed, I shall be cheered and gratified by the flattering testimony of continued kindly feeling and regard with which you have honoured me.\n\nWith feelings of gratitude and esteem,\n\nMarch 1, 1856.\n\ni\n\nI remain, my Lord and Gentlemen,\n\nYours most faithfully,\n\n**JAMES J.

Murrow for libel N. 13 54 182 February, and reporting trial and conviction \n\n### Acknowledging Despatch \n\n7 July \n\nAnnex draft (helsy \n\n> \n\n### Inclosure in Desp. St. 59 of 1858. \n\n**The China Mail.** \n\nHONGKONG. THURSDAY, 22D APRIL, 1858. \n\n**SUPREME COURT OF HONGKONG, CRIMINAL SESSIONS.** \n\nThis was all the evidence adduced, and after the libelous article was put in and read, Mr Day addressed the Jury for the defendant, and in a very ingenious speech expatiated largely on the liberty of the press, and the rights of our forefathers, and earnestly begged the Jury not to forego their rights, by their verdict. It was impossible to bring the Government of this colony into contempt, as the indictment alleged; everybody knew it was contemptible enough, without the aid of the defendant. It was notorious that the Government had not dared to indict them, but similar articles had appeared in all the local journals, and had not pounced upon his client. He was sure the Jury would establish their privileges by acquitting the defendant.\n\nMonday, 19th April, 1858. Jury—Messrs R. Deacon, A. Serrys, A. Gutierrez, F. Schirley, H. G. Stuart, W. Hyatt, and E. Thomas. **YORICK JONES MURROW,—Libel.** This case, which was postponed from the last Sessions on the alleged illness of the defendant, came on in order of trial. John Day, Esq., appeared as Counsel, and Mr E. K. Stace, Solicitor, for the defendant. The Honourable the Attorney General stated the case to the Jury, and said the defendant was charged with publishing a malicious libel, reflecting on the character of H. E. Sir John Bowring, in his capacity of Governor of this island. The libel itself consisted in an article which appeared in the **Daily Press**. (The learned Attorney here read the paragraph):— \n\n\"It is well known that our Governor has a near relative in one of our eminent houses. The **Phœbe Dunbar**, a ship consigned to that house, was chartered by government, without any tender having been advertised, at an unheard-of rate. The same thing occurred in the case of the **Lancashire Witch**, also consigned to the same eminent firm. The steamer **Ava** was detained (at least it was so alleged on the authority of General Ashburnham) in order to enable a steamer belonging to the same firm to reach Calcutta first with important advices upon the Opium market. The same influential establishment has enjoyed the exclusive privilege of having a special agent at Canton during the late occurrences, where they secured extensive premises before any rival could be in the field to compete with them. The notices of the removal of the blockade and regulations of trade, although placed in The Governor's hands to be made as public as possible, were on one occasion suppressed until after the departure of the mail, and on another issued on the day subsequent to the date of the Gazette. We shall find the sequel will be, jobbery, favoritism, and dishonesty riding rampant, clean hands being wanted to interpose a salutary check on practices usually considered mercenary and disreputable.” \n\nThe Court addressing the Jury said, first, that they must consider if the article was libelous, and was calculated to bring Sir John Bowring's conduct into contempt, and reflected on his private as well as on his public character; and secondly, was the defendant the author. If they were satisfied of this, they would find the defendant guilty; if, on the other hand, they believed the publication of the article not calculated to injure Sir John Bowring's character, or bring him into disrepute, they would return a verdict of not guilty. The Jury then retired, and returned in fifteen minutes with a verdict of **Guilty**, unanimously.\n\nThe defendant was then called up for judgment. His Lordship, in a feeling address, said he feared the defendant's pen had been emboldened by the reluctance of the Government to prosecute such scurrilous and defamatory articles as sometimes emanated from the press in this colony, and further, that defendant's pen had been emboldened by the very lenient sentence passed in a recent case before the Court—a simple fine, which was raised by subscription, thus setting the law at defiance. He had a painful duty to perform, but he should not shrink from it; he was determined to vindicate the law, and put a stop to the unmeasured abuse of public individuals. He therefore felt compelled to sentence the defendant to **Imprisonment for the period of Six Calendar Months**, and further that he do pay a **Fine of One Hundred Pounds** to the Queen, and be further Imprisoned till such fine be paid.\n\n**LUIZ J. DE JESUS**, Sworn. I was in the employ of Mr Morrow, as Printer of the **Daily Press**. The article in question was sent to me from Mr Murrow; it was in the handwriting of Mr L. E. Murrow, the defendant's brother. I received a letter from the Crown Solicitor, which induced me to write to the defendant, and in reply he acknowledged the article in question to have been dictated by him, though written by his brother. [Cross-examined by Mr DAY,—I cannot produce the note or the manuscript; all manuscripts were destroyed as soon as printed.]\n\n**The Hon. JOSEPH JARDINE**, Sworn. I have read the paragraph in the **Daily Press**. It refers to the Government, Steamers, and Merchants. There is a sentence which refers to the Blockade of Canton river. Our house is one of the firms mentioned. We have a son of Sir John Bowring, a partner in our firm. My impression after reading the article, is, that a serious charge of corruption is preferred against H. E. Sir John Bowring, as Governor. The **Lancashire Witch** and the **Phœbe Dunbar** were consigned to our firm; the former vessel was chartered to the local government; the **Phœbe Dunbar** was chartered to the Admiral. It is entirely false that the **Ava** was detained to enable our firm to send important advices per **Lancefield**, so that that vessel could reach Calcutta first. The steamer **Ava** was in the employ of Government. The cause of the delay was this: I had to attend a meeting of the Legislative Council, and when there, I found the **Ava** was advertised to leave the next morning with a mail for Calcutta. I then told Sir John Bowring, that I could not stop, having business to transact before its departure; and His Excellency replied that he would ask General Ashburnham to detain the steamer till 4 P.M.—if that would do. I said 2 P.M. would suit. After the Council we went to General Ashburnham for leave to delay the steamer till 2 P.M., when General Ashburnham said it was quite immaterial to him, and he would delay her till 9 A.M. the next day. [By Mr Day.] The Captain of the **Phœbe Dunbar** sent in a formal tender to the Government, which was accepted by Mr Mercer, the Colonial Secretary, for the Government. She was to go to Hainan with deported Chinese. She was to have £1 per ton for the first six months and 18s. per ton afterwards. This was the ordinary rate; other ships were getting an equal rate. It was never for a moment contemplated by us that the detention of the **Ava** was to enable one of our steamers to reach Calcutta first with advices relating to our Opium Market. There is not a shadow of truth in the assertion that it was for the purposes of jobbery that the steamer was delayed.",

        "content_text": "# MINUTES OF MEETINGS OF A COMMISSION\nHeld at the Council Chamber, commencing on the 27th May, 1858.\n\n## FIRST DAY, Thursday, 27th May, 1858, at 11 a.m.\n\n### PRESENT:\nThe Hon. C. ST GEO. CLEVERLY, Esq., Chairman, Hon'ble, H. T. DAVIES, Esq. J. SCARTH, Esq., J.P. Hon'ble GEORGE LYALL, Esq. A. FLETCHER, Esq., J.P.\n\nThe Registration Ordinance was in Committee, and I was preparing to attend it, when a letter was placed in my hands from Mr May, stating positively that Mr Caldwell was the owner of licensed brothel No. 48, as appeared by the fact that the lot 241 B, on which it stood, belonged to him. Not, as falsely stated in the semi-official article, influenced by relations good or bad to Mr Caldwell, but for two reasons, which I will mention, I determined to state it that morning in the Legislative Council. The 1st was, that I knew it was perfectly hopeless sending in any report to the Executive Government, as Mr Caldwell was always held up as quite necessary to the administration of the colony. My second reason was, that I wished to induce the Legislative Council to do with the Registration Ordinance what they had neglected to do with the Brothel Ordinance, and insert a clause disqualifying Mr Caldwell and his family from deriving any pecuniary benefit in the exercise of his functions with regard to that measure. On going into Committee, accordingly, I was moved that clause, and the Committee adopted it without a division. The Governor and the Acting Colonial Secretary appeared however much opposed to it, the Governor treating the charge as ridiculous, and the Acting Colonial Secretary as impossible.\n\n**THE ATTORNEY GENERAL**, being asked if he had any information to give the Commission, stated that the charges in the `List of Charges` were not his, and accordingly read his letter of Protest of 24th May (4), to the Acting Colonial Secretary.\n\nRead, `Warrant of Commission` and `List of Charges`.\n\nHe was then requested to state what evidence he had to produce with reference to Charge 2.\n\nThe Attorney General. The evidence which I had to offer to, and I suppose examined by, the Executive Government, for they gave their decision on it in a very unmistakable manner, and such as to oblige me to present my appeal, on the 17th instant (B), to Lord Stanley, Secretary of State. The nature of that evidence and of that decision was stated in my Letter of the 13th instant (C), which I request may be read. I have here a Letter of the 18th May, No. 280 (D), from the Acting Colonial Secretary, and my reply of the same date (E); also the Acting Colonial Secretary's Letters (F and G) of the 17th May, Nos. 272 and 276, and my reply to both (H); and the Acting Colonial Secretary Letter of 15th May, No. 269 (I), and reply to the same (K).\n\n[The Attorney General states, that he places these letters before the Commission in conjunction with the protest of 24th May, referring to charges Nos. 2, 5, 14, 15, 17; and reads part of letter of 13th May, to Acting Colonial Secretary, regarding these charges.\n\nThe Attorney General handed in to the Chairman a paper containing the names of two witnesses to be summoned at once]\n\nDr Bridges stated himself to be professionally aware of the fact that Mr Caldwell had parted with every inch of land he possessed in the colony before he became Licenser of Brothels, and that he had acquired none since. I protested of course against this mode of dealing with a charge which I said I had made upon my liability to punishment if it was untrue. Then Mr Cleverly (the Surveyor General) expressing his concurrence with Dr Bridges, (the Acting Colonial Secretary) proposed to go down and examine his books, and returned with the statement that the lot 241 B was registered in the name of Mr D. R. Caldwell; on which the Governor apologised to me for having doubted my statement.\n\nSome one suggested that perhaps the Crown-rent might not be paid by Mr Caldwell, but by somebody else, to which the Colonial Treasurer Mr Forth said, he had just examined his books, and his clerk Mr Gilmour, who was present, could tell that the money had been paid by Mr Caldwell's own hand; to which the clerk assented.\n\nI beg leave to state to the Commission what the conduct of Mr Caldwell was upon the charge being made.

        "content_text": "(10)\n\nMr Dixson, I believe she was then a keeper of a brothel, but I am not certain. I do not think that she is any relation of Ma-chow Wong.\n\nMr Gilmour,—Yes. Paid by Mr Caldwell on account of another man-not in his own name: D. R. Caldwell on account of Lum Ateen, &c., for Lots 179, 241 B, 241 C, 242 B, and 262, £8, 14s. 7¼d.; on account of Cheu Alai, £2, 2s. 5d.\n\nChairman,-Have you ever heard that either Mr or Mrs Caldwell have been adopted by Ma-chow Wong?\n\nMr Dixson, I have heard that Mrs Caldwell was. I cannot produce any one who has told me.\n\nChairman, Do you believe that the brothel was kept by his supposed sister-in-law, or by a person of her name?\n\nMr Dixson, I believe it was kept by herself. Chairman, Will you give her name?\n\nMr Dixson, I do not know the name. I do not know her as Shaplok. Chun is the family name; Chun Atai, I think.\n\nIt was proposed by Mr Lyall, seconded by Mr Scarth, and carried unanimously, That the Chairman do communicate with Mr Day on the subject of the first resolution, and do make such arrangements with him as he may think necessary.\n\nThe Commission then adjourned.\n\n## THIRD DAY\n\nTuesday, 1st June, 1858, at 11 a.m.\n\nPresent,-All the Members.\n\nThe Chairman opened the Proceedings by stating that Mr Day had been engaged by the Commission as their Legal Adviser: that he had been instructed to conduct the inquiry neither for nor against Mr Caldwell, but with a view to elicit the truth. Mr Day would be happy to receive suggestions from any person at his Chambers as to the parties it might be desirable to summon, and the evidence they could produce. And further, that no person but Mr Caldwell would be allowed to make any remark except in answer to questions put to him as a witness. It was also proposed to investigate those charges only which referred to Brothels and Brothel Licenses, &c., comprised in Nos. 2, 5, 14, 15, 16, and 17.\n\nJ. SCOTT,\n\nCalled and examined.\n\nI am Acting Clerk of Deeds Registry. This return (M) is made by me from Books in Land Office, and I verify it as a correct return of the items found in those books.\n\n[The correctness of the return admitted by Mr Caldwell.]\n\nDAVID GILMOUR,—Called and examined.\n\nMr Day,—What situation do you hold?\n\nMr Gilmour,—I am employed as temporary Clerk in the Treasury Office.\n\nMr Day, Do you produce any books from that Office?\n\nMr Gilmour, I produce the counterfoils of the receipts of Ground-rent.\n\nMr Day, Do you see any entry of payments made by Mr Caldwell, on account of Ground-rents?\n\n| Lots        | Name        | Amount      |\n|------------|-------------|-------------|\n| 238 C, 240, 250 | Chun Atsew | £7, 17s. 6d. |\n| 204, 381, and 382 |             |             |\n\nfor Lots 238 C, 240, 250; on account of Chun Atsew, £7, 17s. 6d., for Lots 204, 381, and 382.\n\nMr Day, When made?\n\nMr Gilmour, All made on 26th February, 1858.\n\nMr Day, On respect of Crown-rents due on 31st December, 1857?\n\nMr Gilmour, Yes. There are some lots paid for on 18th February, on account of Mr F. Woods by Mr Caldwell, on Inland Lots 206, 263, 264, 551, amount £4, 11s. 3¼d.; on account of Sin On Wo, 5th March, £9, 16s. 2¼d., for Marine Lot 33 D; and D. R. Caldwell on account of ... 4d. for Lot 552. Those are all I know of.\n\nJANUARIO A. DE CARVALHO,—Called and examined.\n\nMr Day,—What is your situation?\n\nMr Carvalho, I am employed in the Treasury Office as Accountant.\n\nMr Day, Will you look at that book-payments on 26th February, 1858?\n\nMr Carvalho, I received one amount on 5th March, on account Sin On Wo £9, 16s. 2¼d. On the 4th the Chinaman came himself, and on the 5th came accompanied by Mr Caldwell. He could not understand me regarding encroachments made on his Marine Lot; he therefore came next day with Mr Caldwell, and paid the money.\n\nMr Day, Did Mr Caldwell have any conversation with you respecting the Lot?\n\nMr Carvalho, I told Mr Caldwell the reason why for this half year an additional sum was wanted, which Mr Caldwell explained to the man.\n\nMr Day, Was the money then paid?\n\nMr Carvalho, Yes, by the Chinaman.\n\nMr Day, Is this entry \"received from Mr Caldwell on account of Sin On Wo\" correct?\n\nMr Carvalho, Yes.\n\nMr Day, Were you present when Mr Caldwell made any other payments to Mr Gilmour?\n\nMr Carvalho, I think I was.\n\nMr Day, Do you remember any conversation that passed on the subject?\n\nMr Carvalho, I do. Mr Caldwell said that he paid merely as agent. I can't recollect what number he referred to.\n\nMr Day, Did he say for whom?\n\nMr Carvalho, He gave the names of Chinamen which [on reference to memo.] are I think Lun Ateen, Chun-Alai, and Chun Atsew.\n\nMr Day, Did he make any request as to whose names the receipts should be made out in?\n\nMr Carvalho, He desired they should be made out in the names of those parties. I did not hear him say anything else.\n\n(11)\n\nLUM ATEEN,—Called and examined.\n\nCross-examined,—\n\nMr Day, Regarding the payment of 5th March, for lot... My name is Lum Ateen; I live at the Toong Hap shop, in the Sheong Wang-am a doctor, and keep a Drug-gist's shop at the entrance of the Western Market; have lived there since the third moon of last year. The medicine shop has only been open for a few months; have practised as a physician before that, and had a shop near Lee Kip-tye's house; have practised here as a physician for about 12 years.\n\n95th December last,\n\nMr GILMOUR,\n\nRecalled.\n\nMr Day, Can you find any further receipts of payment amongst my friends. Have attended Mr Caldwell's children, principally the children and the servants, also Mrs Caldwell. About seven years ago went to California, and was away eight months employed as a Ship's doctor; took medicines with me to sell-they cost about $300; took no money beyond a few dollars.\n\nMr Day, When the payments were made on 26th February, by Mr Caldwell, did he state anything?\n\nWhile in California practised as a physician. The result in a pecuniary point of view was good, I made upwards of $2000; brought back the money in Gold Dust which I sold in Canton 170 taels at $20 per tael, (say $3,400.) On my return I renewed my acquaintance with Mr Caldwell. Two years ago I had some transactions with Mr Caldwell regarding the steamer Eaglet. I acted as a sort of agent between some of my relations and Mr Caldwell; I had no share in the steamer. I left the money earned in California at interest with friends in Canton, in the first moon of the second of Hienfung, and got it back in about a year afterwards. I bought a lot of clothes, ear-rings, &c., to send to California by my young brother, who was coming and going from and to that country. My brother came back sick. I heard that the speculation had been a good one, but only got back $1,000. Invested only about $1,000. With the remaining money I lent out some at interest, and with some I bought shops from Mr Caldwell. I remember when Mr Caldwell became embarrassed.\n\nMr Gilmour, He told me to make them out as in certain names. I don't recollect that he gave any reason for so doing; he spoke to Mr Carvalho before he came to me.\n\nMr Day, Did he say in what capacity he made the payment?\n\nMr Gilmour, No; not to me.\n\nMr Day, With reference to the payment on 18th February, on account of Mr Woods. Does the same remark apply to it?\n\nMr Gilmour, I don't recollect about that payment. I could not have put in Mr Woods name unless desired to do so. Mr Woods was not present.\n\nCross Examined, Did you overhear what Mr Caldwell said to Mr Carvalho?\n\nMr Gilmour, I fancy that I heard him, on the 26th February, say that those lots were not his: that they were to be transferred, or had been transferred.\n\n[Mr Caldwell was asked to produce his Register of Brothels.]\n\nMr Caldwell, This is the Register of Brothels, and is at the disposal of the Commission, and will be handed into the Colonial Secretary when required. I acknowledge that I have been neglectful in keeping up this book. It has been impossible to keep the book up on account of numerous changes in the Brothels, which would take all my time to note.\n\nIt appears on reference to the book, that Brothel No 38 on the ground floor of lot 206, and that the keeper's name Wong Angun; Brothel 76 is on the upper floor of lot 306, keeper's name Ho Amoy; No 77, is on lot 206, keeper's name Leu Ayee; 78, Lee Wing Wo; 79, Lew Yee.\n\n| Brothel No | Location        | Keeper's Name |\n|-------------|-----------------|---------------|\n| 38          | Lot 206, ground floor | Wong Angun    |\n| 76          | Lot 306, upper floor | Ho Amoy       |\n| 77          | Lot 206         | Leu Ayee      |\n| 78          |                 | Lee Wing Wo   |\n| 79          |                 | Lew Yee       |\n| 48          | Lower Lascar's Row, Lot 249 B | Chun Wun Yow  |\n\nIn the 1st Registry of Brothel 48 there is an entry, \"Brothel 48; Number of house, 203; locality, Lower Lascar's Row; name of the keeper Chun Wun Yow; Number of Prostitutes, 6; Number of Lot, 249 B.\" In the column of Remarks this license is stated to be cancelled. There is an interlineation above it of another License Number 48, House 15; locality, upper street; name of keeper, Sow Atseen; no entry of Number of Lot.\n\nThere are a great many deficiencies in the Registry, the number of the lots, the name of the landlord or lessor, and the name of the Crown lessee being inserted in very few instances.\n\nHe owed me $2,000 for which I was getting interest. $1,500 was lent by me (as agent for a friend) to Mr Caldwell without interest. The $2,000 were lent at the rate of interest of $50 per month. I was told last year by Mr Caldwell, that he was going to sell off all his property, for the benefit of his creditors. He sent for me in the fourth month of last year, and told me that all the creditors were willing to arrange; that the interest of the money was to cease at the end of the previous month, and that I was to go to Siemssen & Co., to get my proceeds of property sold. I was asked to sign a paper stating that I was agreeable to the arrangement. Mr Caldwell informed me of the value of the property, and that the houses had been valued. The value stated was $4,700, and I was told the value of each house. I wanted to take ten houses, and set off the value against the money due to me; but Mr Caldwell said that the creditors would not agree to that; I afterwards bought ten of the houses for $2,200. I paid the money to Mr Caldwell at his house in Gough Street. Of the $300 I paid $150 to Mr Caldwell, and for...",

        "content_text": "## 488 \n\n(72) \n\nany \n\n+ Re-examined,—I went from here to Canton in a lorcha belonging to Ma-chow Wong, in October or November 1856. About a week after I was evidence for a man named Leong Ahee, who was charged with piracy. Mr Anstey allowed me to be examined, and afterwards told the Court my evidence could not be taken. I was a passenger on board this lorcha, belonging to Ma-chow Wong. I never sailed or served in a vessel which I knew to belong to Mr Caldwell or Ma-chow Wong, or in any vessel in which to my knowledge they had any interest or share. Beaver was in command of the lorcha at that time. The first time I saw Mr Caldwell was about three years ago in this place. I have known Mr Grand-Pre for about the same time. I have never been intimate with either of them. I am better acquainted with Mr Grand-Pre, because when I came down from Shanghae I had a good deal to do with him at the Police Station. I know Mr Tarrant the Editor of the Friend of China. I do not recollect his asking me two or three years ago about Ma-chow Wong and the Eaglet. I may have had some conversation with him on that subject, but have forgotten it, it is so long since.\n\nMr May, who replaced it in the tin-box in which it was found, asked me a great many questions, and in a ridiculous manner. It was not handed to the Jury, but a piece of calico with some Chinese figures on it was. I gave Beaver an order to get it when he was discharged from Gaol. I gave him an order to get all the papers which I had when arrested, but do not know whether he got possession of this paper. I believe he did. I was told so by a short sentence prisoner. I got this paper from Beaver himself; it was not his intention to give it to me. We were in two separate boats, and I sent on board his boat for some cigars, and at the bottom of the box which he sent me I found this paper. I could not say in whose handwriting it was, and that is all I know of it. I might have said in the Supreme Court that it was as likely to be in Mr Caldwell's handwriting as in anyone else's, but I could not have said that it was in Mr Caldwell's handwriting, for I do not know Mr Caldwell's handwriting. The paper did not mention Mr Caldwell's name, nor do I recollect the name \"Samkwei\"; it was addressed to \"Charles Peapa.\" The paper I first alluded to is that which was produced at the Supreme Court. There were several papers, but the one I read in Court was that which I am speaking of. The one which I wished taken particular care of was one concerning my own business, nothing concerning Mr Caldwell that I know of. If anyone stated that I said that I had a paper which was of the very greatest consequence, and could get me out of trouble, such statement is wrong. There was a paper of great consequence but concerning only my own affairs. I don't think that the paper produced in Court recommended Ma-chow Wong to the notice of the pirates for the purchase of provisions and other articles from him. The paper did not mention Ma-chow Wong as being Mr Caldwell's brother.\n\nI knew the Eaglet, which Mr Caldwell used to command. I was never in any way connected with her. I have only been on board once, when I went on board of her in Hong-kong to see Mr Stone the Engineer. I have not sailed in her company, nor under her convoy. I have seen her several times outside, but I cannot say that she was engaged in any piratical expedition. I cannot say whether Ma-chow Wong was part owner of the Eaglet, or whether he was connected with her in any way.\n\n[Read a condensed report of what Eli Boggs said on his defence at the Supreme Court, concerning Mr Caldwell's and Ma-chow Wong's connection with the pirates.]\n\nThis is always what I understood to be the case, but I could not swear positively to it. My knowledge on these points is derived from what I have heard spoken by the Chinese. If I mentioned the names of individuals who could give evidence on the subject, I don't think that you would be able to find them now. I remember going into Mr Scarth's office with a Chinaman; I wanted Mr Scarth to interest himself in the case of six men, who had been wrongfully taken up for piracy. Mr Scarth told me that the man I came with was one of the greatest rascals unhung, and that I would do well to avoid his company. He had been brought to me by a Chinese merchant, to interpret about another person. I believe this man had very considerable dealings with Ma-chow Wong.\n\nI saw the Eaglet outside several times myself. I understood from the pirates there that she had been sent out by Mr Caldwell. I saw her the last time out by the island of Taiwan, about eight miles from here. On these occasions, she did not hold any communication with them, or bring provisions. On the occasion at Taiwan, I did not see what she was doing. We were on one side of the island, and she on the other.\n\nLyons was up in the Gaol one day, and asked me if I knew where the paper which I had read at the Supreme Court was. I told him I saw it put back in the box at the Supreme Court. I believe he asked me a few questions. He might have asked me who had written the paper, but I could not have told him that it was written by Mr Caldwell, for I do not know, and cannot say that I have any reason for thinking that it was written by Mr Caldwell. I believe he said something to the effect that if he was brought up, he would like to be able to produce this paper, to show that Mr Caldwell was connected with that sort of people. I said that I had the paper at one time, that I did not know if I could produce it then, that I was in trouble myself, and did not wish to meddle with other people's business.\n\nAs far as Ma-chow Wong is concerned, I am pretty confident that he levied black-mail on the pirates. My conclusion that Mr Caldwell participated in this is drawn from what I have heard said. I have seen refreshments come on board, which the pirates said came from Mr Caldwell. I have known money going away from the vessel, which they stated was going to Ma-chow Wong and Mr Caldwell; but I cannot say whether it was true. I understood from the pirates outside that they had to give Ma-chow Wong money to give to Mr Caldwell, otherwise vessels would be sent out to take them. I know it to be the case.\n\n(73)\n\nI believe that 'Ng Tai-sin's title was 'Ng Man-sui; he had another name, 'Ng Sing-ying.\n\nThat persons, whether pirates or not, who offended Ma-chow Wong, or failed to comply with his terms, were denounced to the Police and brought to trial and conviction. In the instance of Leong Ahee, in which case I was a witness, I afterwards found out that Ma-chow Wong demanded $500 from him and on his failing to give him this, had him taken up to the Court. There was a man of the name of 'Ng Tai-sin, from whom Ma-chow Wong wanted $500; and on his not paying it, he was arrested for something, I think as a suspicious character, and kept in Gaol for some time. He told me of the demand while in Gaol. My impression is, that those pirates who paid black-mail sailed their ships on the supposition that Mr Caldwell and Ma-chow Wong would assist them, and not act against them.\n\n## Wednesday, 2d June, 1858.\n\n### JOHN HAMILTON RANDALL,-Called and examined.\n\nI know Mr Caldwell. I first knew him in 1851, and first had business relations with him in 1855 as Chief Officer of the Steamer Eaglet, which belonged to and was commanded by Mr Caldwell. I knew George Stone; who was Chief Engineer and brought the Steamer from Calcutta, prior to my joining her. I remained on board the Eaglet as Chief Officer from July 1855 to September 1856. I left my situation, and came down accordingly. Mr Caldwell commanded her himself from July 1855, till about April 1856, in every trip she made. From April till September, Captain Toms, at present of the Cana Family Receiving Ship, commanded her. The Eaglet was ostensibly employed in the Convoy Trade, and in carrying passengers and cargo.\n\n| Role        | Name        | Period                          |\n|-------------|-------------|---------------------------------|\n| Commander   | Mr Caldwell | July 1855 - April 1856          |\n| Commander   | Captain Toms| April 1856 - September 1856     |\n| Chief Officer| Randall     | July 1855 - September 1856      |\n| Chief Engineer| Stone      | Prior to July 1855              |\n\nShe was in the habit of convoying sometimes lorchas and sometimes other Chinese vessels. When first I joined her, she had no guns on board; about the beginning of August, she took in 8 guns from 4 to 9-pounders. She was at times in the employment of the Government for the suppression of piracy, in connection with the naval forces. On one occasion coming from West Coast, she was asked by the mandarins to go and protect some junks, which had been attacked by a lorcha, and two other small Chinese craft.\n\nWe had gone from here to Hoihow with convoy and cargo, and were requested by the mandarins of Mamee. I do not know whether the mandarins made any arrangement for remuneration. We went as requested in chase of these pirates, and we got as far as the Westward of St John's Island, where we saw the lorchas and junks steering in for Shatái. We steamed and made sail after them. They got into the bay first before we could get in; the lorcha got behind the rocks, and the two smaller vessels ran ashore. The lorcha commenced firing at us as soon as we got into the harbour. The other two smaller boats, which had been taken from Mamee by the pirates, ran ashore and were abandoned. We lowered the boats and brought them out, and anchored them close to the ship—the lorcha still firing. We tried to take the lorcha, but she was too strong for us. One of their shots struck the hull of the vessel at the water's edge, and a great many passed over the steamer. We left the bay towing the two boats, and anchored for the night to the Westward of St John's. Next morning we got up steam, and in the afternoon arrived at Mamee, with the boats in company. The boats were identified by people of the place and given up to them. They contained only damaged potato flour, and a trifling quantity of rice.\n\nI was sent down from Ningpo to Hong-kong by Sir John Bowring, for the purpose of giving evidence relating to a fleet of pirates with whom I had been imprisoned for about four months and a half. I was told His Excellency sent word up there, that he would give me a reasonable remuneration for my lost time and expenses if I would come down. I remained here about 24 months. I came up to the Government Office, occasionally to see Mr Mercer, and was up once to see His Excellency. I received $108 or $110 altogether from the Government. Mr Rienaecker, who was Colonial Treasurer at the time, has the account.\n\nI have had no correspondence nor communication with Mr Caldwell on the subject of this inquiry. I spoke to Mr Grand-Pre when he came to see me about this inquiry. I asked him what he thought of it, and what I had best do if called on to give evidence. He said he had no advice to give either one way or the other; that a man would do best to act by his own conscience, and that he had nothing to do with it. When I say that the other papers found on me when arrested do not refer to this case, I mean that they do not refer to the present inquiry. I first learned what the enquiry was about from the newspapers. I believe that Lyons said something to the effect, that he wished to get the paper to be able to produce it, if brought up himself, against Mr Caldwell.\n\nMy reasons for believing the paper to have been written by Caldwell, were that Ma-chow Wong being in connection with Mr Caldwell, it follows as a natural conclusion, that Mr Caldwell might write that paper for him. I have heard Beaver several times say, that the lorcha in which he was, belonged partly to Mr Caldwell, and partly to Ma-chow Wong. The conclusion I came to regarding the name being spelt wrong, was that the person who wrote it had got the name, Pea-pa from Ma-chow Wong. The note was written well, and every other part of it properly spelt. It appeared to be written by a person who did not know the name of the person to whom it was addressed. The Chinese pronunciation of Beaver would be something like Pea-pa. For instance, they called De Alai for Eli.",
