        "content_text": "\nCORRESPONDENCE RELATIVE TO \n\nBefore such a system, therefore, becomes apparent, I consider it most expedient for us to concentrate our force at Chinhae. As to eventually (permanently) retaining Ningpo, it would be a clog to us, even were it prudent to contemplate the measure. The question then is, what is the best course to pursue on evacuating the place?\" A settlement of the Chinese question can only be obtained by the Emperor's acceding to the terms proposed by the British Government; by the overthrow of the present Chinese dynasty; or by the expulsion of the British naval and military force; this latter case no Englishman can contemplate; in viewing the other two, it must be borne in mind that there is as much a pro- spective as an immediate object to be gained, and I think that the spirit of Lord Auckland's very luminous despatch of the 10th of May points out the great im- portance of encouraging a friendly feeling with a view to future commercial intercourse; his Lordship, it is true, applies this principle to the provinces of Canton and Fokien, but I feel confident that, were his Lordship in possession of facts connected with our present position, he would desire to apply it equally to this province, and possibly to the whole of China. The idea of pressing the Chinese Government through the medium of the people, has in my opinion proved fallacious; the whole system of Chinese policy shows that whatever may be the feelings of the Emperor towards his subjects, the Mandarins and all the Government officers are indifferent to their welfare, further than suits their own purposes; and I believe that you would inflict no greater annoyance upon the Chinese Government than by opening the eyes of the people to the fact, that the British character has been foully belied, and that we are not only a brave, but a just and honourable nation. It is therefore, I confess, my most anxious wish not to seize the private property, whether placed in shop, who has remained upon the spot. It must be remembered that Ningpo offered no opposition; that the inhabitants threw themselves on our protection, or pretended to do so; and that a number of Ningpo men have been taken up as traitors to their own country, merely because their townsmen held friendly intercourse with the British. I would, therefore, having now remained six weeks amongst them without the occurrence of a single act of oppression on our part, seek to leave a strong impression of our forbearance, our moderation, and our justice; and I am confident that by our alone seizing or destroying Government property, and taking a duty of 10 per cent, on all imports and exports, except from places in our own possession, that desirable object would be effected. \n\nIn this point of view, it appears to me, that the course above-mentioned would be the most judicious policy; and, considering also the importance laid on the expeditious proceeding to the Peiho next spring, I would suggest the expe- diency of husbanding the troops as well as the naval force this winter as much as possible, to prepare them for the ensuing campaign to the northward. By this time, in all probability, 800 recruits from England have arrived at Hong-Kong, and 1 would therefore beg leave to suggest that the \"Jupiter\" be sent down as soon as practicable, to bring up the 26th regiment from Hong-Kong and Amoy. I will instruct Major-general Burrell to retain the recruits of the 49th and 55th regiments, amounting to 520 men, to replace the wing of the 26th, and to send on the recruits of the 18th (160), with any recovered men belonging to the five companies of that corps at Amoy, to that station, to replace there the detachments of the 26th (150) under Major Johnstone; this will give us by the end of January at farthest, a reinforcement of about 600 well-drilled acclimatized men, which, with the force that I can collect during the winter at Chinhae, will enable us to proceed at the very first change of the monsoon to the entrance of the Gulph of Pechele, and take up some defensible position where the reinforcements from India could join us, on the Shou-tung promontory, say at Tin-tehro-foo, or one of the Minatan Islands, or possibly on one of the islands higher up the Gulph. \n\nMILITARY OPERATIONS IN CHINA. \n\n- No. 22.- \n\nEXTRACT of a LETTER from Rear-Admiral Sir William Parker to Lieutenant- General Sir Hugh Gough, dated 2 December 1841. WHENEVER the troops remove to Chinghae, I propose to place a sufficient Sir William Parker \n\nNo. 22. force of the squadron to support the garrison, and to employ the remainder at to Sir Hugh Goughb, Chusan, or where they may be most required, with a view to the public service, 2 December 1841. and our expected operations next season. \n\nBefore your Excellency's letter reached me, I had made preparatory arrange- ments for despatching the \"Jupiter\" to Hong-Kong to receive the troops from the transports, \"Carnatic,\" \"Earl of Hardwick\" and \"Tartar,\" having been informed by the Plenipotentiary that they will be on heavy demurrage if the men are not removed as soon as they arrive. She will be ready to sail shortly; and I will take care to instruct Mr. Fulton to embark and bring up the men, agreeably to the details you have transmitted, or any alteration you may devise. \n\nI seriously hope that further reinforcements will arrive to enable us to go to the northward as early as possible next year. But I much doubt whether it will be advisable to proceed until the main body is assembled, for reasons which I will explain when I have the pleasure of seeing you. \n\n- No. 23,- \n\nEXTRACT of a DESPATCH from Lord Stanley to the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty. \n\nDowning-street, 4 February 1842. \n\nNo. 23. \n\nI ASSUME, that the operations of 1841 will have been limited to the successful Lord Stanley to the attack upon Amoy, the occupation of Kulungsu, and the re-occupation of the Lords Commis Island of Chusan. \n\nsioners of the 4 February 1842. Admiralty, \n\nI assume, that the forces available for 1842 will be an army of 9,000 to 10,000 men, of which there will be five British regiments, amounting to about 4,000 men, and a company of British Artillery, combined with a naval force of three ships of the line, and a fleet, including thirteen or fourteen steamers, of about forty sail. \n\nIt will, of course, be necessary to provide for the maintenance of Hong-Kong, of the Island of Kulungsu, and of Chusan. The remainder of the force, naval and military, will be available for such operations as it may be deemed most advisable to undertake, with a view of producing such an impression on the court of Pekin, as to lead to a speedy compliance with the terms which Sir Henry Pottinger is instructed to require. \n\n-No. 24.- \n\nCOPY of a LETTER from the Right Hon.

In these letters, copies of which are enclosed, for the information of Her Majesty's Government, I have communicated to the Military and Naval Commanders-in-Chief the manner in which the forces under their command are to be employed. \n\nIt occurred to me as not impossible that no instructions will have been sent from China to Singapore to the address of Lord Saltoun, commanding the rein- forcements on their way from England, to await his Lordship's arrival at that port, and I have therefore addressed a letter to that officer, a copy of which \n\n596. \n\nD 4 \n\nis",

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

        "content_text": "\n\nNot received at \n\nCORRESPONDENCE RELATIVE TO \n\nKin-shan, which lies at the mouth of the Grand Imperial Canal; that you should fortify that island as strongly as you can, and give to it an ample garrison, and a sufficient supply of provisions, so that in the event of your Excellency being induced to leave it for a time to its own resources, it may be able to defend itself against any force the Chinese may bring against it, until your Excellency may return to relieve it. \n\n26. From this place, so made secure, your Excellency will carry on such operations as you may deem advisable for interrupting altogether the whole trade of the Chinese Empire, which is carried on by the Imperial Canal, and thus forcing the Chinese Government to accede to such terms of peace às Her Majesty may think fit to demand. \n\n27. For information relative to the Yang-tse-kiang and the island of Kin-shan, I refer your Excellency to the papers numbered 7 and 8, which are annexed to this letter; and for the views entertained by His Grace the Duke of Wellington, with respect to the operations to be carried on, to the extracts from a memorandum 9 and memorandum 10. \n\n28. I have further annexed to this letter (No. -) three copies. of a sketch made by an the Colonial Office. officer attached to Lord Amherst's embassy, of the Yang-tse-kiang, from Kin-shan to \n\nNankin. \n\n29. To the statements contained in the memorandum upon that island and its vicinity, I should add, that the part of the town of Kwatchoo (opposite Kin-shan) which is on the east bank of the Grand Canal, is on high ground, and commands the other part of the town from which it is divided. \n\n30. I conclude that your Excellency must be in possession of the report of Captain Bethune upon the Yang-tse-kiang, but I think it safer to annex it likewise (No. 12.) to this letter. \n\n31. Your Excellency will understand, that it is upon operations carried on in the neigh- bourhood of, and upon the Grand Imperial Canal, and interrupting the internal commerce of the Chinese Empire, that Her Majesty's Government rely for an early and satisfactory termination of the war. Her Majesty's Government, earnestly desirous that the war should be so terminated, have at great cost and with great sacrifices, placed an amply sufficient. force for coercing the Chinese Emperor, at your Excellency's disposal; and they entertain no doubt that your Excellency, acting with your accustomed vigour and ability, will so apply that force as to effect the sole objects they have in view,--the vindication of the honour of Her Majesty's Crown, and the establishment of peaceful commerce with the Chinese nation upon a secure and permanent basis. \n\n32. It is the conviction of Her Majesty's Government that the continued application of a sufficient force to the complete interruption of the internal trade of the Chinese Empire carried on by the Grand Imperial Canal, must necessarily compel the submission of the Chinese Emperor to Her Majesty's just demands. Your Excellency will therefore confine yourself to such measures as may, in your opinion, most certainly lead to the accomplish- ment of that purpose, and will either evacuate or occupy any points on the Chinese coast as you may think most conducive to the attainment of it, making all minor considerations yield to that of succeeding in the great enterprise with which your Excellency is intrusted. \n\n33. Your Excellency will, however, in whatever operations you may think it expedient to carry on, always bear in mind that it is the decided opinion of Her Majesty's Government that the military and naval forces employed in the expedition should, at all times, be placed in such positions as may secure their easy and constant communication with each other. The equipment furnished to the troops under your Excellency's command is not such as to enable them to carry on with security and effect any operations at a distance from naval support; nor is it desired that such should be their character. Without incurring any such risk, your Excellency may, by operations within the reach of the fleet upon the commercial communications of the Chinese Empire, effect all the purposes which Her Majesty's Govern- ment have in view. \n\nI send a copy of this letter to the Naval Commander-in-Chief, whom I, at the same time, address in a separate letter, of which a copy is enclosed for your Excellency's information. \n\nGins. \n\nMILITARY OPERATIONS IN CHINA. \n\n26 Alligator, ordered to be fitted as a receiving ship at Trincomalee. 26 Herald. \n\n26 Conway. \n\n26 Calliope. 20 Nimrod. 18 Pylades. 18 Modeste. \n\n18 Favorite. \n\n18 Larne. 18 Hyacinth. \n\n16 Cruizer. \n\nNo. 2. \n\nGuns. \n\n16 Childers, \n\n16 Pellican. \n\n16 Clio. \n\n10 Algerine. \n\n10 Camelion. \n\nSulphur,Surveying vessels ordered Starling, \n\nJupiter, \n\nhome. \n\nRattlesnake, Troop ships. \n\n10 Britomart, at Australia. \n\n4 Beagle, Surveying vessel at Australia. \n\nRETURN of Ships ordered out to the East Indies, with the Names of the Ships they are intended to relieve. \n\nGuns. \n\n36 Cambrian, to relieve 42 Thalia \n\nGuns. 44 Druid. \n\n26 Herald. \n\n26 North Star \n\n26 Conway. \n\n18 Dido \n\n26 Calliope. \n\n16 Hazard \n\n16 Siren \n\n16 Harlequin \n\n16 Serpent \n\nBelleisle \n\n\" \n\n>> \n\n18 Modeste. \n\n18 Favorite. \n\n18 Larne. \n\nApollo Troop ships.

But failing this, such of the above questions as contemplate individuals repaying themselves by stoppage out of wages are inserted, and at \n\npassage any rate the colonies could hardly be expected to make a free gift of the home, \n\nEnclosure 2 în No. 12. \n\nMEMORANDUM respecting Chinese Immigration into the West Indies. \n\nboth out and \n\nBlackbrook, Monmouth, September 1, 1843. \n\nTHE Chinese within the Straits settlements, that is, Singapore, Maland, and Penang, amount probably in all to about 50,000, but to these must be added those in the Dutch settle- ments of Rhio, about 60 miles from Singapore, and who, as far as emigration is concerned, are just as available as those living under our own rule, for there is a daily uninterrupted inter- course between the parties, and in fact no distinction. I do not think these are fewer than 20,000. These Chinese settlers are not, as represented in the extract of a letter, all from Amoy, that is from the province of Fokein or Hokein; but from this province and that of Cantou, and the great majority from the latter. They were of course chiefly from the maritime ports of these provinces. A good many are from the island of Hainan, a poor but populous place. From the localities from which they issue, a great proportion are boatmen and fisher- and the kind of agricultural labour that the emigrants have been used to in their own country is the rearing of culinary vegetables and the culture of rice. The artizans among them consist in general only of carpenters and blacksmiths. They become hucksters, shop-keepers, and merchants only as colonists, and I fancy few of the emigrants have been of this class in China. Nearly all of them can read and write, and many are expert accountants with the aid of the San-pan. I know one very enterprizing merchant who had been for years a common porter. Having lived handsomely he died the richest man in Singapore. \n\nmen; \n\nChildren and women never leave China, in fact never leave their own localities, even when the men emigrate from one province or district of China to another. All the men are in the prime of life. No man brings capital any more than Irish labourers coming to England. Most of the emigrants come by the junks, and I have known a single junk bring 800. The number of junks which arrived at Singapore (they never go to Penang or Malacca) from the 27th of December to the 20th of April, 1843, and this embraces the whole season, was 111 of 17.000 tons burthen, and they brought 6,391 immigrants. Eighty-eight junks of 14,580 tons had the year before brought 6156 immigrants. Now these junks come from no less than 19 different ports of China, and nearly every one brought passengers, which indeed constitutes the most valuable part of the outward investment. European vessels occasionally bring \n\n16 Chinese immigrants, but the number is inconsiderable. In my time, some \n\nyears ago, the number of junks coming from China was about 12. The great increase has taken place since our occupation of the island in the bay of Amoy. \n\nThe Chinese settlers form matrimonial connexions wherever they go, and whenever they can, and in those countries to which they have been long accustomed to resort, as Java, Siam, and Cochin-China, a very considerable mixed population has been the result. These in the Malay language are called Peranakan, the nearest translation of which, although not quite a correct one, is Creole.\" All the Creoles are brought up as Chinese, and intermarry either with Creoles or genuine Chinese. They are considered as somewhat less industrious than the true Chinese, but over those they have the advantage of knowledge of locality, and the pos- session of two languages. \n\nAt Prince of Wales Island and Singapore there are a few sugar plantations in which the Chinese are the labourers; but to get labourers who will cultivate the cane, manufacture sugar, and distil rum, will not be a matter of the smallest difficulty, for the Chinese may be described as a sort of ambidextrous people who can turn their hands to anything. The provinces from which the immigrants chiefly come, Canton and Fokein, are the chief sugar producing ones of the Chinese empire. Besides this, the large sugar cultivation of Java, of Cochin China, and of the Phillipines, is understood by them. In Siam, and, I suppose, in the other places also, very high wages are occasionally given to foremen skilled in claying sugar, as much as 1000 dollars a-year, that is 2251. In the Straits' settlements generally, the culture of pepper is wholly in their hands; and at Singapore and the Dutch settlements the culture and manufacture of gambir, that is, a kind of terra japonica, which is largely produced for a masticatory among the eastern islanders, and of late years still more largely for exportation to this country to be used for tanning and dyeing. The same may be said of the manufacture of sago in the shape in which this article is now brought into the European market. Indeed, pearl sago was the discovery about twenty-five years ago, of a Chinese of Malacca. Now the cultivation and preparation of every one of these three articles is unknown in China, and they are consequently acquisitions made by the Chinese as colonists. In the same way they have become miners of gold to a large extent in Borneo, and of gold and silver in Tonquin; and both miners and smelters of tin in the Archipelago, of which last article the annual produce is at present probably equal to that of the mines of Cornwall, while it is a good deal better in quality. \n\nFrom the teeming population of China there can then be no difficulty in getting labourers in the prime of life, unencumbered by families, and fit to turn their hands to any employment, and this to any extent. But then comes the most difficult part of the subject; how their ser \n\nCHINESE LABOURERS TO THE WEST INDIES. \n\nvices are to be secured and remunerated. In the \"Extracts of Letters \"* their character is very correctly represented. They are a sober, diligent, industrious, intelligent, and money-loving people, without being a miserly one. From all the inconvenient prejudices of Hindostan they \n\nare wholly free. They like to make money, but they have not the faculty of hoarding it that distinguishes the penurious Hindoo, for they live more comfortably, and, when they can, more luxuriously than any other Asiatic people that I am acquainted with. They must be paid the full value of their labour, or otherwise there will be no making anything of them. In a word, they must be treated with the same consideration as any class of British labourers; if they are not, they become inevitably discontented, disorderly, and roguish. \n\nIn Singapore a Chinese labourer will earn as much as two natives of Coromandel, as three Bengalese, and as four Malays. In my time the wages of a Chinese day labourer, finding everything, used to be about 15 Spanish dollars a month, which, at 4s. 4d. per dollar, is 65s., or 321. 10s. a-year. But the labour market is now far better supplied, and wages are consi- derably lower. I shall suppose that good labourers may now be had at 10 dollars a month, which is equal to 211. 2s. 4d. a-year. Can the West Indian planter pay such wages? By one of the agreements contained in the \"Extracts of Letters,\" I perceive that a Chinese labourer engages to serve for two years at the average wages of 5 dollars a month; this is about 137. s. 4d. But we have to add lodging, suli fish, salt, and 45 lbs. of rice a month, with 20 dollars of passage-money and loss of labour during sickness. But all this is for the Mauritius, and not for Guiana or the West India islands, three times as far from the Straits of Malacca, and where the principal article of subsistence, rice-must be higher priced. \n\nI confess I entertain considerable doubts of the expediency of hiring Chinese labourers for the colonies, on the principle of an apprenticeship. My notion of the Chinese is, that they are industrious and diligent only when they are working for themselves, and see profit in the face at every \n\nhour of their labour. An experience of their character in this respect, hinders them from being employed on fixed daily or monthly wages in the Straits settlements, wherever it can be avoided. The Chinese labourer, who, working on his own behalf, or by job work for another, would earn 15 dollars a-month, I am confident would not produce to an employer 10 dollars a-mouth on day wages. But the experiment has been tried, or is under trial in the Mauritius, with 1000 labourers, and the result will be worth all the opinions on the subject that ever can be given. \n\nThere is another drawback against the employment of the Chinese in the colonies, or at least one that will exist for a number of years,--the want of a common language for commu- nication, and the necessity for employing interpreters. There are two distinct languages spoken by the Chinese ordinary colonists, not mutually intelligible. These are the languages of Canton and Fohkien, and in our courts of justice in the Straits settlements we must have two interpreters. These are always Creole Chinese, and communicate with us through the easy Malay, a language known more or less to all resident foreigners. In the West Indies there can be no such channel of communication, and until the Chinese shall have acquired a smattering of English, as they have at Canton, the expense and incumbrance of interpreters cannot be got rid of. \n\nI perceive by the Extracts of Letters\" that the cost of an emigrant's passage from the Straits of Malacca to Guiana is estimated at about 127., which is about 57 Spanish dollars. Now, to the best of my recollection, the cost of a passage in a Chinese junk from Canton or Amoy, which in the right season is usually made for the one in seven or eight, and from the other in ten or twelve days, is not above five dollars. It is evident therefore that the Guiana planter in some shape or other, must pay the difference. Filial attachment is one of the most laudable qualities of the Chinese; indeed it is a religious and political duty. All those who quit China as emigrants, do so in hopes of returning to their families, and to the tombs of their fore- fathers, although but a small proportion do so. In all the countries in which they have here- tofore settled, they have the easy means of doing this, of hearing from their families, and of remitting funds to them through the junks. Of those facilities they must necessarily be deprived in the West Indies. \n\nThe Commissioners are of course aware that the experiment of Chinese labour was once tried at Trinidad about 30 years ago and failed, but this was during the period of slavery and in war time, when it was impossible that the experiment could have had in any respect a fair trial. Chinese labour was then much higher than it is now, and the means of procuring labourers not comparable to the present. \n\nI \n\nagree entirely with one of the opinions which seems to be implied by the Commissioners in their queries, that by far the most eligible plan will be for the Colonial Governments to take the matter wholly into their own hands, paying the passage money of the emigrants and leaving them on their arrival in the colony at perfect liberty to engage in any kind of labour, and on any terms they think proper. It is not necessary that the whole expenditure made on this account should be sacrificed. Each emigrant before embarkation may be called on to sign a personal bond payable within a reasonable stated time, for reimbursement of at least a portion of the fund advanced for his passage. As to the Government or private parties paying for the return passage, I think such an arrangement, except in very peculiar cases, will be inexpedient. The Chinese will certainly in great numbers, should the project as a labour scheme succeed, settle permanently in the West Indies, and a passage-money of 101. or 12. \n\n* Letters submitted by the West India Committee to Lord Stanley. \n\n† When pepper was extensively cultivated on Prince of Wales Island, the European owner of the land had the forest cleared by contract, and the vines planted by contract, and when the vines came into bearing, the plantation was farmed to the Chinese from year to year, on payment of a specific quantity of pepper. Any other plan would have ruined the capitalist.. \n\nCHINESE LABOURERS. \n\nH",

Sir, The vast importance of the Chinese Tariff requires that it should be reduced to English weights, measures, and monies, for the use of British merchants, and not having yet observed that this has beca done, I beg to trouble yon with such s table, toge- ther with a few observations upon the standard to be observed. \n\nThe definition and determination of the Chinese tael is ex- preased in several different ways. 1st. It has been generally in England taken to be one third of the pound sterling, or Gs. 8d., or 80 pence, making the mace its 10th, S., and the caudareen its 100th part, 8-10ths of a penny. This simple relation to our own money would be a great advantage to English merchants if it were fully established, but some, as Beawes, make the candareen Ed., reducing the tael to 62. 3d. \n\n2ndly. It is now, however, for the most part compared with the Spanish dollar. Thus the latest and perhaps the highest sathority, that of Mr. Pope, in the Yearly Journal of Trade for 1843, states 72 taels to be equivalent to 100 dollars. The Spanish dollar is commonly estimated at 4s. Gd., but her Majesty's proclu- mation (Yearly Journal of Trada, 1840, p. 391), issued for the West Indies, makes it equivalent to 48. 2d. The tael, therefore, will be 6s. 3d, if we take the former, and 58. 94d. if the latter, for our guide. \n\n3rdly. It was originally compared with the Chinese silver coin called mace, and their copper coin called cash, but the mase has been long disused; 1000 cash were once equivalent to one fuel, but the depreciation of these coins by deterioration of the metal and reduction of their weight, so amply illustrated in the highly interesting and most authentic work of Mr. Davis, has now rendered the tael equal to a much greater number of cash. By Sir Henry Pottinger's Hong Kong proclamation of the 29th of March, 1842, 1200 of them are declared equal to one dollar. In weight I have found them vary from about 85 graina troy to twice as much. Du Halde says that the French sou is equivalent to the 100th part of the tael, that is to the caudareen, and also that it is equal to 6 cash, instead of 10. \n\n4thly. The Chinese tael is a weight, and has its value expressed by European weights, either avoirdupois or troy, and this is the truest mode of determining its equivalent in fine silver, seeing that the references to English money do not agree, that dollars differ materially in value, and that the Chinese cash are still more different from each other in their weight and quality. Measra. Gordon and Crawfurd, in their admirable treatise upon Chinese commerce, give a table stating the tacl is equal to 1 1-3 ounce avoirdupois, or 579.84 grains troy. These, unfortunately, do not agree neither, for 1 1-3 oz. avoirdupois contains 437.5 and 145.8 1-3 grs., or 583.3 1-3 grs, troy, and not 579.84. Again, Beawez in his \"Lex Mercatoria,\" states that the tael was 1 oz. 2 dr., of course troy weight, which in 480 and 120, or 600 grains. The editor of \"Mortimer's Commercial Dictionary,\" in his “Universal Commerce,\" p. 64, says 100 taels should weigh 120 oz. 10 dwts. troy, or 57840 grs., or the single tael 5734, which is less than any of the above. He says, also, that 100 Spanish dollars should weigh 68 13 dwts.; that is, 42,552 grs., of which we take the 72nd part, according to Mr. Pope, the tael comes out 591 grs. Now, 16 taels make a catty, and 100 catties a pecul; all autho- rities, I believe, concur in making the pecul 133 1-3 ib. avoirdu- pois, or the catty I 1-3 B., for which reason I prefer taking the tael as 1 1-3 oz., or 183 1-3 grs. The English crown piece, or N. is so nearly an avoirdupois ounce that if we could make this the standard the tael would come out as at first 5a, and 20d., or 6s. 8d., or 80d.; but in China all silver coin is taken as bullion, and the duties of course will be paid in fullion. The real value of the tael must, therefore, be sought in the market price of stan- dard silver. This, at the present time, I find to bo da. 1110. per ounce troy, which is almost exactly 48. 6d, the ouuoo avoirdupois, or 6s. the tacl; and I have accordingly made this my standard in the following table, wherein I have reduced the Tariff to English weights and monies. I prefer this to taking the market price of the dollar, whether Mexican or Spanish, new or pillar, and using the multiplier 1,204, because I consider that the term \"syees” means \"perfectly pure.\" This word I believe to be originally Chinese, although the characters used by the Chinese to express it do not indicate its proper etymology. I have no doubt that it was originally, in the orthoepy of Morrison, \"tsuh sih,\" or \"full quality;\" but the characters commonly used for it mean \"fine silk,\" expressive of what minoralogists would call it's \"lustre sating.\"* \n\nI cannot conclude without suggesting that, at the present low price of copper, 1000 tona, costing 70,000Z. or 80,0007., might advantageously be coined into Chinese cash, weighing each a 1-3 gra. This would greatly relieve the distress of the neighbourhood of Swansea, and supply Hong Kong and the Chinese with a good currency during the present and the next generation; for, if neatly executed, it would be universally coveted and hearded up in abundance, and would be a good payment for tea, instead of opium. On one side of the coin I would have the words \"Victoria Regina,\" and on the other, as usual, “perforated token,\" with \"Iong Kong\" instead of the Emperor's name. \n\nBristol, Oct. 14. \n\nI am, Sir, your obedient servant, \n\nSAM.

The Heeptoi has for two or three years past been required to reside as much at Kowlung as at Typoong; and there is ordinarily a civil officer, deputed by the provincial government, residing there with him.. \n\nThe following list comprises all the places on the is-- | land of Hongkong; the names being written as they are pronounced on the spot.

His jurisdiction, though necessarily limited in extent, yet embraces all depart ments of the government: he is collector as well as ma- gistrate, has charge of the public works and charities, presides over educational affairs; and though he pos- sesses no military authority, it must be remembered that the military in China are placed very much in subordina. tion to the civil power. The magistrate's power is often delegated, at important points (as at Macao) to assistant Chun-hum, Deserted fishing hamlet. magistrates called Tsotang, whose powers are nearly \n\n淺水灣 Do.

But, whether for police Shelt-pae, H or other purposes, the villages are usually left under elders chosen by the people themselves (though assisted and watched sometimes by petty police officers), and to these elders is committed the care of collecting the taxes due from their villages, and for preserving order therein.

        "content_text": "\n19. \n\nHongkong, January 1st, 1842. \n\nIn January, 1841, Hongkong was ceded to the British crown, and the island was taken possession of on the 26th; but nothing was done for its improvement nuti! May, when a chief magistrate was first appointed, and shortly after a Road was commenced under the superin-- tendence of the corps of engineers belonging to the Chi nese expedition. From May to August, the population increased most rapidly, and an extensive bazaar shortly followed this congregating of people.-though it received several severe checks from tyfoous and fires.-After the departure of the Chinese expedition to Amoy and Chu- san in August, permanent public buildings were com- menced on the side of the island facing the present au- chorage, which is called by the natives \"Kwun-tai-loo.” \n\nCommencing from the westernmost part of the present settlement there are at this date, independent of the tem- porary barracks which afford quarters for the Bengal Vo- Junteers, one of a permanent nature for about 60 men, nearly completed,-a stone store-house of considerable dimensions ready for use,--and another smaller one in a state of forwardness. A road runs from these buildings: to the bazaar, a distance of about one mile and a half, ou the side of which some private buildings have been com- menced, while in and about the bazaar itself some 20 permanent shops are in different states of completion. From this latter point to the residence of Mr. Gillespie, a distance of about 2 miles, is the present scene of great. est activity; and on both sides of the road permanent buildings of some importance, both as to size and num- ber, have been aud are in progress of construction; white a little higher up Magistracy-hill, we see 3 or 4 perma- nent houses already finished and inhabited, overlooked by the Magistracy and Prison itself; and on about the same elevation, but more to the east on Government-hill, a public office to serve as a temporary residence for the head of the government is just finished having a guard house at no great distance from it, where at present are quartered an officer and more than 60 men of the 55th foot. Near to this is the residence of the land-officer, and a small public building at present used as a post- office. Pursuing the road to the east, one arrives at Cantonment-hill, ou which a barrack is nearly finished for the Madrus Native Infantry, with a powder magazine a liule way behind it. At the foot of this hill a sinall bat- tery is about to be commenced. \n\nArrived at Mr. Gillespie's, the road crosses a granite bridge aud ascends rather suddenly to a gap cut through a hill, from which one commands a view of the whole valley and village of Wong-nei-chung,\" and the road to \"Tai-tun\" winding up it until lost to sight among the hills in the centre of the island. If instead, however, of pursuing this road, the branch which crosses the valley and goes on east is followed, one at length arrives at the village of Soo-koon-poo,--at present a sequestered, well wooded, and very pretty part of the island. It is from the western end of this village that a point runs out into the sea, whercon an European building has already been commenced, and off which lies Kellet's island, where the government are constructing a battery. The road to the east terminates at the village of \"Soo-koon-poo;\" bat about three miles farther is the fishing village of \" Soo- ke-wan,\"--a place with a large migratory population' \n\nA \n\n}",

        "content_text": "having in its neighborhood some vast stone quarries.- From \"Soo-ke-wan\" a native foot-path, sufficiently good to ride on, leads to \"Tai-tam,\" which is at present a place of little note-though situated at the head of an ex- tensive and deep bay of that uame. \n\n: \n\nOn the west side of the southernmost point of \"Tai- tam\" bay there is a little cové called \"Chek-chu,\" the resort of large fleets of fishing boats, and the site of a con- siderable town with a population of about 2000 souls,~ having a very good bazaar, an expensive rope walk, and shops well stocked to supply the wants of Chinese sea- faring people. \n\nIt is at this place the government have determined on erecting a barrack for two or three hundred men, and where one capable of holding a hundred is now in an advanced state towards completion. A branch of the \n\nTai-tam\" road will lead to this town. \n\nTracing one's steps westward as if continuing round the island, one at length comes to \"Heongkong\" proper, a small agricultural village situated in a remarkably pret ty, and the most extensive valley on the island. \"Shek- pae-wan,\" often called by the Chinese \"Heongkong, Shek-pae-wan,\" would seem to be the sea port of Hong- kong proper, and to have once been a more flourishing place than it now is. There is here, on an isolated spot the largest Chinese temple to be found on any part of the island. The port of \"Shek-pae-wan,\" though small, is nearly land-locked; and having both a northern and a southwestern entrance, it is pretty easy of ingress and egress. An island of about two miles in circumference, called \"Tap-lee-chow\" protects it from southwest to north, and the island of Hongkong completes the circle. There is abundance of water for a line-of-battle ship, and is only fault is in being too small as an anchorage for many European vessels, yet there may be nearly as much anchoring ground in it as in the Inner Harbour of Macao. There is at present a small detachment of the Madras native iufantry with two officers and one doctor stationed at this place; and the road has been projected and parti- ally finished, from \"Kwun-tai-loo\" to it across the hills, \n\n■ distance of 3 to 4 miles. \n\nThere are other villages on the island, but as no pub- lic works are carrying on, at or near them, at the present date, it has not been thought necessary in this short sketch to make mention of them. \n\nVarious materials have been used in building. At the commencement no one thought of anything better than houses constructed of fan palm leaf, called by the Chinese kwai, the next stage, was having them boarded and made with doors and windows that could open and shat; then occasionally was found one room of brick, and the rest of the house of the aforementioned description. The first who set the example of a stone and brick house, was Mr. Matheson; government soon after commenced the magis- tracy and prison, others followed in their train, and now few Europeans think of a palm leaf house, except with cer- tain forebodings of fever and ague. \n\nSome wooden houses have been imported from Singapore, and are at present being erected upon a lower story of stone; but for large buildings such as barracks, where space and solidity (should no objection on the score of wholesomeness exist) are the principal considerations, a material made of the common soil or disintegrated rock of the place, sifted and mixed with lime, and then pounded between >trong boards into solid walls, seems to be as good as any- thing else, and costs about half what brick or stone would do. From the great thickness of the walls, also, this ma- terial is better adapted for keeping out the heat in suru- mer and the cold in winter; but it must be covered in- side and out with a thick coating of plaster. This being well done, and care taken in having the material well mixed and pounded together, there is every reason to expect that a building so constructed will last a very long time, and indeed attain additional solidity the older it becomes. \n\n| \n\nrope. \n\nmaterial is called ni-cheun by the Chinese at Hongkong, taipa by the Portuguese at Macao, and the manner of making it answers to the description of the pisé of Eu- Stone is, however, best adapted for building near the sea, and it will be found to cost as little as brick. \n\nSome wood has been brought from Singapore and Manila, but as it is dearer than Chinese wood now, and requires much more labour to work it, the latter seems to be preferred. Nothing but cheapness would induce one to use the Manila and Singapore wood for other purposes than floorings, as it is excessively heary; and for roofs the Chinese timber will last as long as the tiles. \n\nThe productions of the Island are at present not very numerous. Round most of the villages both on the northr and the south side of the island are found very fine Mango trees. The \"Lichee,\" the Longan,\" the Orange, and the Pear-trees seem also to thrive very well, the soil being deep between the rocks, and, (according to the opinion of some of the gardeners from the gardens near Canton) of an excellent quality for trees of every sort, some of which have been already planted. There is not much rice-cultivation on the Island, and what there is, being only on the level parts, is likely soon to be discontinued for the cultivation of vegetables more sought after by Europeans, or to be purchased and turned into spots for building upon. \n\nSweet potatoes, and a few of the other Chinese vegetables are likewise grown; and, doubtless, when the agricultural part of the inhabitants begin to find a demand for other than Chinese vegetables, others will be produced. Some small additional patches of ground on different parts of the Island, previously unproductive, have since its occupation by the English been brought into cultivation. Fish is abundant, and much of it is cured at \"Chek-chu,\" as well as at other fishing villages. \n\nOwing to the Roads and paths that have already been eut, parts of the Island are now easily got at where for- merly it was difficult to go; and the dry coarse grass and fern which abounds in the bills is brought down in large quantities, and with such facility as to render it cheaper, combined with other circumstances, for Chinese boats to careen at Hongkong, than at any neighbouring places. The grass and fern are need by the Chinese for killing the insects that have eaten into the bottoms of their boats. \n\nMany little arts are now practised among the working portions of the population, which three months ago were not known at Hongkong. Every house that is building of stone gives employment to an itinerant blacksmith, who is required to point the stone cutter's tools. Mattrass- makers may also be seen cleansing their cotton with their oddly constructed bow-and hawkers of every description ahound, as well as the various sort of fortune-tellers, jugglers, quacks, and actors, that are seen in all well populated Chinese towns. \n\nLime-kilns have necessarily increased, and there are many places where the soil is adapted for bricks, so that we may some day see the art of brick making introduced. Tanning is likewise carried on pretty extensively, and the cattle that are consumed by the European classes. afford the hides. \n\nThe Population has often been estimated at about 15.000 souls, and it is probable this number is by no means an over-estimate. Until the population, however, gets regularly fixed, it will not be easy to obtain a censur. They are bard-working, industrious, and cheerful, as the Chinese usually are; and they appear to be too much en- gaged with their own affairs to have time for idleness and graver crimes--which of late have been anything but of frequent occurrence among them.. \n\nThere are not more than a dozen horses un the island, \n\nand one carriage; a few small flocks of sheep and some goats, Cattle for the consumption of the Europeans are easily obtained, and some of the cows have been found to afford rather a good supply of rich milk, when taken care of and fed with grain. \n\nThe ancient houses at Macao as well as the Many of the complaints about excessive heat, and ex- walls of the city are made of this material; and the Chi-cessive cold and dreadful uuhealthiness, are being for- \n\nnese may occasionally be seen, when it is required to gatten, except among those who have little else to occupy pull some part of one of them down, cutting out bits of it their attention-amidst the general bustle and activity of with wedges and pickaxes, as if it were stone.

The Colony and all is in its infancy.\n\nThe people — those who come to trade and traffic — are not very wealthy personages, and the remainder are employed in manual labour and are poor and have no dependence. Many idlers are mixed up with them. Hence there are robbers and murderers and wretches who belong to this brind. Society amongst them; and this is the cause that all along Hong Kong, so frequent losses (theft) occur.\n\nIt is my humble opinion, that these people, resembling weeds, transgress at their homes the laws of China, and at Hong Kong sin against the British regulations. It is therefore a matter of great joy to send them beyond the seas, there to die of age and never to return. They are, however, fellows of a violent and stubborn disposition, and having combined in considerable numbers together they have pledged each other to create disturbance. They consider themselves not subjects of China, and are not willing to observe the English laws, and I am therefore apprehensive that the multitude will not willingly submit to it.\n\nThe land and naval forces of your Honorable Country are more than sufficient for keeping them in cheek, but still we must guard against an unexpected event. It is moreover a provision of the Supplementary treaty that the subjects of China should be judged by Chinese Mandarins.",

The work was consequently undertaken by the Land Office with the view of reclaining a large portion of ground as well as to make a good Road over this space, and the estimated Amount for its completion, placed in Warrant No... viz. £3389-13-9 was during the absence of Your Excellency in the North by Major-General d'Aguilar the Lieutenant Governor of the Colony.\n\nIn executing the work, the Surveyor General was induced to alter his original plans for contracting the embankment and adding two feet more to the height of it, in order to secure the ground's being properly reclaimed.",

About 500 tons are annually dried at Macau.\n\nSams is not able to give any positive information as to the cultivation of the island, but as the south side, where the district available for this purpose is chiefly situated, is now rendered accessible by the roads in progress, there is every reason to expect that, as soon as they can be surveyed and divided into small allotments, the wants of the population here may be supplied to a great extent by the production of the island itself, and a source of revenue be at the same time created.

The suggestions of the Major were adopted, with the exception of the direction of the Road, which it was deemed preferable to carry to the south of the village, as more conducive to the object above mentioned, of opening out building sites.\n\nI have the honor to enclose the report and estimate for this service received from the Surveyor General, amounting to Dollars 2,970 for draining, and 1795 for the Road.

Corrected spelling errors: \"win\" -> not corrected as it might be part of a larger context not provided, \"notorie\" -> \"notorie\" is likely \"notorie\" is a misrecognition, could be \"notorious\", \"han thesame\" -> not corrected due to lack of context, \"Metoria,& Hongkong,\" -> \"Hongkong\" is an old spelling of \"Hong Kong\", \"Ne10b Legislatives\" -> not corrected due to lack of context, \"heme\" -> not corrected due to lack of context, \"introme\" -> likely \"introduction\", \"bey\" -> likely \"buy\", \"Lovin\" -> likely \"Love\", \"Dear hi\" -> likely \"Dear Sir\", \"four mat\" -> not corrected due to lack of context, \"Rus?\" -> not corrected due to lack of context, \"Roge\" -> likely \"Roger\", \"herewik\" -> \"herewith\", \"N23\" -> \"No.23\", \"Stonything\" -> \"Hongkong\", \"brieff\" -> \"Snuff\", \"beast\" -> \"best\", \"Ye Ye, ye,\" -> not corrected due to lack of context.\n2. Fixed spacing issues and hyphenation.\n3. Rejoined broken sentences.\n4. Restored paragraph breaks.\n5. Indicated missing words with \"...\" where necessary, but in this case, it was not necessary.\n6. Formatted the text in HTML as per the instructions.\n\nHowever, some parts of the original text were unintelligible or lacked context, so I had to make educated guesses or leave them as is. The original text appears to be a historical document, and some of the OCR errors may be due to the quality of the original scan or the font used.",

I have been able to effect a reduction of ten Men,\n\nfive Europeans and five Chinese, in the permanent establishment of the Police of the Colony.\n\nIt appeared to me that the Military force\n\nat Stanley could always afford protection in the event\n\nof a piratical attack, and that the provision under Ordinance XIII of 1844 for Native Peace Officers\n\nwas\n\nsufficient for the Chinese population of that place.\n\nI accordingly directed the Chief Magistrate to withdraw the present police from Stanley, filling up vacancies at Vietnia with the Europeans, and dismissing the Chinese portion.\n\nThe Right Honorable,\n\nW. R. Gladstone, M.P.,\n\netc.\n\netc.\n\nPage ...\n\n(There are no clear indications of \"Page XX\" with exactly 6 lines, so I didn't add any page numbering)\n\nHowever, to follow the exact output format requested (HTML using  for paragraphs), the corrected and formatted text is as above. I made the following corrections:\n1. Corrected \"Castions\" to no alternative as it might be a specific term, but \"Commissioner\" seems out of place; however, I left it as is due to lack of context.\n2. \"Subpil.- Jane\" seems incorrect; possibly should be \"Supt.- Jane\" or another title, but I left it as is.\n3. \"N47.\" could be a file or report number.\n4. \"30 July 10946.\" is likely a typo and should be \"30 July 1946.\"\n5. \"1th May\" is likely a typo and should be \"1st May.\"\n6. \"enclozed\" is a spelling error and should be \"enclosed.\"\n7. \"macancies\" is a spelling error and should be \"vacancies.\"\n8. \"Vietnia\" is likely a place name and is repeated; it might be a typo or an old name for a location.\n9. \"Houghing\" seems out of place and might be an error or an unrelated term.\n10. \"W. R. Gladstone, M. P.\" is correctly formatted as it refers to a historical figure.\n\nGiven the context and rules, the text has been corrected for spelling, spacing, and some minor adjustments for clarity while preserving the original content and structure as much as possible.",

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.

Davis was informed at the same time that though it did not recede from their objection to contribute not more than 2/3rds of the expense, those persons were not satisfied that their final judgment on that matter depend on their being satisfied that such a contribution would not be disproportionate to the merits of the case & the accommodation likely to be authorized afforded - and he was instructed to prepare the ground preliminary preparations for creation of the work provided the Church authorities should proceed in the disposition inhabitants should willingly contribute what would be required beyond the amount to be given by the Government.\n\nSir S. Davis's despatch of 22 May 1846\n\n352\n\nis the answer to this communication. He reports that McHardwick's plans are too difficult of execution for the Workmen in Hong Kong, and sends home other plans prepared by the Clergyman and calculated to cost £8,300, with subscriptions to the amount of £2,726.18.11 of which £1,379.19.9 has been paid. The sum already subscribed is, therefore, rather more than a fraction of 1/3 of the whole estimated expense. An expectation is held out that it might be increased to £3,000. If, therefore, the Govt is now prepared to contribute 2/3rds of the whole expense, provided it did not exceed £5,000 the Church might be proceeded with. It seems quite evident that a Church cannot be built in Hong Kong under £8,000.\n\nThe first step would be taken",

Obvious OCR errors have been corrected (e.g., \"offerers\" remains as is due to lack of context, \"Sapartment\" could be \"Department\", \"Reelived\" to \"Received\", \"23th\" to no correction as it might be a specific date format, \"Vice --\" to \"Vice...\", \"No.\" added for \"31\", \"Sist\" remains as is).\n3.

No translation or rephrasing has been done.\n6. File references and page numbering have been kept intact where identified.\n\nHowever, a detailed analysis shows that the original text is quite fragmented and contains several unclear or incomplete sentences and words, likely due to the quality of the OCR output. A more thorough correction would require a better understanding of the context or the original document. \n\nFor instance, some sentences like \"This offerers to close this authent\" or \"Sist Your Most Obedient,\" are unclear. Without the original document or more context, it's challenging to correct these accurately.\n\nThe output is in HTML format using `\n\n` for paragraphs as requested.",

However, where the ground is very steep, the conical plug might be used with advantage; but instead of the chain, I think an iron bar hooked to the plug and upper and locked to the wall, the Key to be Kept by Police.\n\nAs it might be advisable not to let the entire quantity of the water Run off, a plan should be arranged to insure the plug going back into its place when Required or prevented from being drawn completely out.\n\nI have added to the estimate the sum I think sufficient for these, and whichever is most suited to the locality, might be used.\n\nThe gates for the Culverts, if well made, I do not imagine will require leather as the pressure of water will be sufficient to insure them against any material leakage, but this service being so small may be fully defrayed out of the Contingencies of the Estimate if it should be found desirable.\n\nI fully concur in the Remarks relative to the private wells, most of which are as stated totally insufficient, but this has been caused in a great measure by the expense which in many parts of the Town would be very considerable, and the generality of small house holders do not like to incur an outlay of $200 or 300 for that Service.",

That the box marked 130 is not one of those in which the Treasure was packed at the Canton Consulate, because it does not agree in size or shape with the two original boxes produced; - it has not the same Chinese marks; the nails used to fasten it are English and not Chinese as in the others; the wood is of a totally different description from, and much heavier than that of the others; stowage wood (as found in it) was not put into any of the others; the ropes forming its handles are English, and those attached to the others are of Manila hemp; the ink with which it is marked is different from that found on the others; the size and shape of the letters on its lid vary from those found on the others, whereas all the genuine boxes were marked through a tin plate cut for the purpose and therefore necessarily tallied exactly.\n\nThe figures 1, 3, 0, have been painted after the box was filled and nailed up, as the 0 is contracted and brought close to the iron binding, and part is shown under the binding, whereas in the others the figures are partly hidden under the binding, thus proving that their numbers...",

All such sureties shall be diligently and strictly examined by the Court, or by the Registrar under the direction of the Court, as to their sufficiency, and shall be required to make oath that they are severally worth the sum for which they are about to enter into security.

AND IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, That if there be no Will, and the Widow or Widower, or next of kin, shall apply for Administration, he or she shall file an affidavit (Form No. 1.) in the Supreme Court, as directed by the first rule, stating the death of the Intestate, and that the deceased left property within the jurisdiction of the Court; and shall move for a citation and commission of Appraisement as above directed, which shall thereupon issue. The Citation and Commission being returned and no opposition being made to the party applying for Letters of Administration, or if being made it shall be overruled by the Court, the person so applying shall give security and take the oath as also directed, whereupon Letters of Administration shall issue.\n\n6. AND IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, That if there be no Will, and no Widow, Widower, or next of kin, appear, it shall be the duty of the Registrar, on receiving notice of the death of such person, to obtain and file an Affidavit of such death, and of the time and place thereof as above directed, from some person acquainted with the facts; whereupon the citation and commission of appraisement shall issue as before, but the commission shall give authority (Form No. 11) to the Appraisers, care being taken in all cases that the Appraisers are respectable and trustworthy persons, to take and keep possession of the property till further orders. And in case of a Stranger to the Colony dying suddenly therein, or in any other case in which the property might be endangered by delay, the Court, on being informed thereof as hereinafter directed, or otherwise, shall forthwith issue a commission to such appraisers to take charge of the property, without waiting for the Affidavit of death, or for any other preliminary form of proceeding. Such citation and commission being returned, and no Widow, Widower, or next of kin appearing within the time limited, Letters of Administration shall be granted to the Registrar of the Supreme Court, or to such other person as the Chief Justice shall appoint as above directed.\n\n7. AND IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, That the Registrar of the Supreme Court, when appointed Official Administrator as aforesaid, shall with all convenient speed inform himself who are the persons entitled to the residue of the Estate, and shall as soon as possible inform such persons of all such circumstances and particulars relative thereto as it may be necessary for them to know, in order to their availing themselves of their rights to the same; and in case the Registrar shall not be able to discover who are the next of kin, or shall see reason to doubt concerning the same, he shall cause an Advertisement to be inserted in one of the Local Newspapers calling on the next of kin to appear for their interest, and shall cause a similar Advertisement to be inserted in one or more of the English Newspapers if the deceased was a Native of England, or in one of the Edinburgh Newspapers if he was a native of Scotland, or in one of the Dublin Newspapers if he was a Native of Ireland.\n\n8. AND IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, That the Registrar of the Supreme Court shall, either on receiving his appointment to that Office, give good and sufficient security, to be approved of by the Chief Justice, for the true and faithful administration of all estates which shall be committed to his charge; or if he do not furnish such general security, he shall, before Letters of Administration are granted to him in any particular case, enter into Bond with good and sufficient securities, as is provided by the 4th rule with respect to ordinary administrators, for the true and faithful administration of such estate. Which Bond shall be executed in favor of Her Majesty, Her heirs and Successors, and shall be put in suit by Her Majesty's Attorney General, when directed by the Court so to do.\n\n9. AND IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, That the Registrar of the Supreme Court, when appointed Official Administrator, shall be allowed to charge a Commission of five per cent, as well on property not sold but retained by the heirs, as on property sold by him, on cash found in the Estate, and on property specifically bequeathed to legatees.\n\n10. AND IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, That in order to give more general force and effect to this branch of Jurisdiction, it is directed that all Coroners, Constables, and other officers on whom that duty would properly fall, shall give immediate notice to the Registrar of the Court of all deaths which shall occur within their respective districts, under pain, in default thereof, of such punishment as the Court shall consider adequate to the neglect. And if the person so dying shall be a stranger or shall leave no friends or relatives in the place at which he shall so die, such Coroner, Constable, or other officer shall call in another officer, or some creditable person, and they shall together inventory and seal up the property so left, or otherwise secure it, for those who may ultimately be declared entitled to the same, or until further orders.\n\n11. AND IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, That in cases in which the deceased has left no will, or executors are not named, or have renounced their trusts, and no person has applied for administration, any creditor or creditors who shall satisfy the Court by his or their statement, supported by documents or the affidavits of other persons, that the deceased was really and truly indebted to him or them, may apply for and obtain the usual citation and commission of appraisement; which being returned, if no next of kin shall appear, or even if such shall appear and the Court shall in such latter case be satisfied that the debts so established or sworn to amount in all to more than the value of the appraised property, in such case the Court shall and may, at its discretion, grant Letters of Administration to one or more of the principal creditors, on his or their giving good and sufficient security (Form No. 12), that he or they will duly administer the estate, and pay the debts fairly and justly, according to their respective degrees, without partiality; or in equal proportions, if the estate should prove insufficient to satisfy all the debts in full; and on his or their taking the oath of Administrator. Provided that no creditor, receiving Letters of Administration as creditor, shall be entitled to any percentage or commission on his Administration.\n\n12. AND IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, That if a person shall die leaving property within one or more of several ports or places other than that in which he shall have been domiciled before his death, the Consul of such port or place where the goods so left are situated shall take charge of such property until the same shall be claimed by the Executor, Administrator, or other person lawfully entitled to demand the same.\n\n13. AND IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, That if it be intended to oppose a Will, a Caveat must be entered before Probate is granted, and allegations, verified by affidavit or affirmation in support of the opposition, must be filed within one month after entering the Caveat; in default of which, proof of the Will shall be received as in ordinary cases.\n\n14. AND IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, That if an Executor or Administrator shall fail to file his Inventory or Account within the time prescribed by his Bond or by his Oath, the Registrar shall, immediately after such default made, report the same to the Court, and an order shall issue to such Executor or Administrator to appear on a day certain, and either file such Inventory or Account or show good and sufficient cause why he has not done so: and in default of so filing or showing cause, he shall be liable to such penalty as the Court shall think fit, and the Court may also direct such Bond to be put in suit by the said Registrar. Nor shall any prolongation of time be allowed for filing Inventories or Accounts, unless on strong grounds shown to the satisfaction of the Court.\n\n15. AND IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, That every Inventory and Account shall be delivered into Court one week at least before it is sworn to, in order that the Registrar may examine the same. Every such Account shall state distinctly the dates of all receipts and disbursements, and shall in all other respects be clear, distinct, and full. If such Inventory and Account shall be in proper form, and if such Account be correct, the Executor or Administrator shall be sworn to such Account as the case may be.\n\n16. AND IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, That if the Registrar observes any incorrectness or inaccuracy in such Account, he shall point it out to such Executor or Administrator for correction; and if they disagree upon any point, it shall be referred to the Court, which shall decide the same.\n\n17. AND IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, That if any Executor or Administrator shall fail to pay over to the Creditors, Heirs, Legatees, or other persons, the amount to which they are respectively entitled, within one year after Probate or Administration granted, such Executor or Administrator shall be liable to pay Interest out of his own funds, for all sums which he shall retain in his own hands after that period, unless he can show good and sufficient cause for such detention.\n\n18. AND IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, That if any person shall die, leaving any child or children under the legal age of majority, without any natural guardian, and without having, by Will or otherwise, provided for such guardianship, the Chief Justice shall, in the exercise of the authority vested in him by law in that behalf, select and nominate such person to be guardian of such child or children, and of his, her, or their estate, as he shall consider most fit and proper for that office; reference being always had to the age, sex, and condition of such child or children; and taking good and sufficient security (Form No. 13.) from such guardian, proportioned to the value of the estate, for the faithful and just execution of his office.\n\n19. AND IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, That every Guardian of Infants, whether appointed by the parents of such infants, or by the Court, shall be required to file in Court, twice at least in each year, and oftener if there shall appear to the Chief Justice good reason for calling on him to do so, an account of his administration of the estate; and at the same time to submit for the inspection and consideration of the Court all mortgages, bonds, or other securities on which the monies belonging to the said Estate and under his charge shall have been lent or placed out; subject to the same examinations and objections by the Court in case of incorrectness and to the same penalty for non-compliance, as is provided by the 14th and following Sections respecting accounts of executors and administrators.",

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. M. MARTIN, Hong Kong, November 26, 1844.\n\n1. Examination of our financial state in Hong Kong, with several detailed statements.

        "content_text": "51\n\nREPORT ON\n\nment at Pekin, and a minute examination of the occurrences in China during the last few years, will lead to the conclusion that, although the people, especially those of the northern and central provinces, are not adverse to us, but, on the contrary, are eager to trade with us, according to the extent of their means, yet that their Tartar rulers view us with alarm and fear, are anxiously desirous of keeping us at the very extreme part of the empire, and would gladly adopt any means, either of fraud or force, which might secure our entire expulsion from China*. This is quite natural, when we consider that a mere handful of semi-barbarians, but brave and crafty men, hold sway over three hundred millions of people, whose varied and ancient dynasties they, as conquerors, have displaced, and who must feel that, notwithstanding two centuries of occupation and imperial despotism, they are still an isolated race among myriads who submit by compulsion to their sway, as they would to that of any other foreign power, but who, nevertheless, anxiously hope for the restoration of a sovereign of Chinese origin, identified with the inhabitants by all those strong but indescribable ties which characterize persons of the same blood, lineage, and nation.\n\nOn the 12th October, 1842, very shortly after the signing of the treaty of Nanking, an imperial decree was issued from Pekin, respecting \"the extermination of native traitors,\" &c., of all who had in any manner assisted or countenanced the English during the war. The plans for their destruction, or police supervision, are laid down in this document, and they are a clear violation of the treaty of Nanking. The document fully evinces also the readiness of the Chinese Government to break any agreement which it might suit their policy to adopt.\n\nThe functions of the most petty mandarins, and the deliberations of the Imperial Cabinet at Pekin, are equally interwoven with intrigue, which constitutes the every day business and pleasure of official life in China. Since the treaty of Nanking, it has been seriously discussed in the cabinet at Pekin, whether the time was propitious for breaking with the English. Dr. Gutzlaff states that the majority of the cabinet were in favour of an immediate rupture, which was only prevented by the sagacious Emperor requiring the belligerent ministers to raise the required forces, to head them, and to leave their wives and children as hostages for the success of the proposed measure. It has been truly stated to Lord Aberdeen, in an official memorandum, dated China, 22nd November, 1844, that “one uniform course has always been pursued by the Chinese Government towards foreign states - if obsequiously submissive, contempt and contumely; if resisting, arrogance; if victorious, perfidy. There are no exceptions to this policy.\" We have, in fact, no real security for peace, but the possession of an island like Chusan, which is the key of China; as an efficient means of preventing war, our possession of this island is of the utmost value to the Chinese themselves.\n\nThe following observations are in illustration of this:--On the commencement of our war with the Government of China, the greatest personal hatred was expressed by the Tartars; but the Chinese party in the Pekin Government, with Swanshegan at their head, were silent. Six months before the treaty of Nanking, whoever dared to speak of peace was deemed worthy of death. Keshen (a Tartar) was considered to have sold his Government, and declared a traitor. Lun, for his opposition to us, was viewed as a great patriot - as the guardian patriot of the country, whom the Government at Pekin believed capable of deciding the great national question with the sword. There was general regret at his degradation; and his restoration to high power is now hoped for.\n\nThe Governor Lin, in a memorial to the Emperor, said if we were allowed to settle near the central districts of China, the poorer classes would join us. The Government itself stopped all maritime trade, in order to starve the barbarians.\" Yupon-Yuan, a generalissimo, urged the extermination of the barbarians; but Elepoo, subsequently his colleague in the Nanking Commission, with a foresight of the danger the Tartars were exposed to, strongly advised his sovereign never to give to...\n\n*.......\n\n431",

The reduction of the duties on commerce and of the port charges on small coasting craft, and the regulations respecting junks trading with Hong Kong, require further modification; and a satisfactory\n\nbeen following us, and increasing in numbers, from the building known to foreigners as the Five-storied Pagoda. 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. M. MARTIN, \"Treasurer at Hong Kong, and one of H. M.'s Council in that Colony.\n\n\"R. B. JACKSON, \"H. B. M.'s Vice-Consul at Canton.\n\n\"VINCENT STANTON, \"H. B. M.'s Chaplain at Hong Kong.\"\n\n\"Articles of which the restitution is required :--A watch, capped, and double cased in gold. A watch, double cased in silver. A gold chain and gold seal, with armorial bearings. A gold pencil case, cornelian top. A bunch of keys. Two small keys. A silver-mounted walking cane.

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": "88\n\nBRITISH POSITION\n\nPainful, however, as it is to contemplate the mistakes of the past policy, and the defects of our present position, there is much to cheer and encourage the efforts of the statesman, if efficient measures be vigorously and promptly adopted for their remedy.\n\nOur mistakes appear to have had their origin in a misplaced leniency, in the manifestation of a magnanimity which was misunderstood, and which conveyed no real and permanent benefit on the conquered. A proud and corrupt Government, like that of China, inflated with the highest ideas of self-importance, viewed honourable and humane concessions as indications of timidity or folly; and where it could not oppose force by force, it would naturally resort to the weapons of the weak,—dissimulation, cunning, and perfidy.\n\nWhen, therefore, we found ourselves the victors of China, it was our duty, while carefully abstaining from doing aught to diminish the control of the Chinese Government over its subjects, to have adopted such measures, and to have taken such precautions, as would have prevented the grievous necessity of another war, by retaining an island or position, as a guarantee, which would command peace; by the establishment of a permanent British embassy at Pekin; and by securing perfect freedom of intercourse for British subjects with every part of China, internal or maritime. This would have been sound policy, and at the same time merciful towards both the Chinese Government and people. The former would probably be saved the disastrous calamity of another war, which may end in the subversion of the ruling dynasty, and the latter, as an imitative and tractable people, would have received the great benefits of unrestricted commerce with a more civilized nation, capable of turning to full advantage the qualities of an industrious and peaceable race, in a country improved by art, and favoured by nature to a high degree.\n\nKeying, a high minister, imperial commissioner, and viceroy of the provinces of Kwang-tung and Kwangsi, respectfully presents this duly prepared memorial to the throne. I, your minister, find that the Christian religion is that which the nations of the western seas venerate and worship,—its tenets inculcating virtue and goodness, and reprobating wickedness and vice. It was introduced into, and has been propagated in China, since the times of the Ming dynasty, and for a period there was no prohibition against it. Afterwards, because natives of China, who professed to follow its maxims, frequently made use of it to commit mischief, the authorities made examination, and inflicted punishment, as is on record.\n\n\"In the reign of Kia-kin, a special clause was first enacted in the penal code, for the punishment of this offence, and hence the natives of China were in reality prevented from committing crime,—the prohibition not extending to the religion which the foreign nations of the west worship.\n\n\"It now appears that the present envoy, Lagréné, has requested that those Chinese who follow his religion, and are in other respects blameless in the eye of the law, be held free from punishment for so doing; and as this seems what may be carried into effect, I, your minister, accordingly request that hereafter all who profess the Christian religion be exempted from punishment, and looking up, beseech the imperial grace. If any should walk in the former ways or commit other offences, they will be adjudged according to the established laws.\n\n\"With reference to the subjects of France, as well as of all other foreign countries who follow this religion, they are to be permitted to erect churches for worship only at the five ports open for foreign trade; and they are not to presume to enter the interior, to propagate their doctrines. If any disobey this regulation, and rashly exceed the fixed boundaries (of the ports), the district authorities will at once apprehend them, and deliver them over to the nearest Consul of their respective countries, to be restrained and punished: they are not to be precipitately punished with severity, or killed. By this will tender compassion be manifested to those from a far, as well as to the black-haired race, the good and the bad will not be confounded together, and by your Majesty's gracious assent, will the laws and principles of reason be displayed with justice and sincerity:—and this is my petition, that the practice of the Christian religion may henceforth entail no punishment on those who are good subjects.\n\n\"Wherefore, I respectfully prepare this memorial, and looking up, I beg that your imperial grace do cause it to take effect. A respectful memorial.\n\n\"On the 9th day, 11th month, 24th year of Taoukwang, the imperial reply was received, assenting (to the petition),”\n\n\"RESPECT THIS.\"\n\nThe above mandate was received at Suchau, on the 25th day, 12th month, 24th year of Taoukwang,\n\nShanghai, 1845.\n\nJ. Mc D.\n\nAND PROSPECTS IN CHINA.\n\n89\n\nIn order, therefore, to accomplish the important objects which it appears desirable should be attained by England, for the sake of China as well as for our own interests, the following points are submitted for consideration:—\n\n1st. The final cession of Chusan to the British Crown. (a) Failing this cession, the island to be placed under the protection of Great Britain, like the Ionian islands. (b) This not being granted, Chusan to be made a free port, open to all nations, with perfect freedom of residence, &c.\n\n2nd. In consideration of the Chinese ceding Chusan to England, we might agree to withdraw our Consular stations from Amoy, Foochoo, and perhaps from Ningpo.\n\n3rd. If the Chinese Government refuse to cede Chusan, then we ought to demand the permanent establishment of a British minister at Pekin, with a guard of honour from a ship of war, to be constantly stationed in the Peiho, and that all official intercourse be carried on at Pekin.\n\n4th. We ought also to require that British subjects be permitted to reside in any part of China, with perfect security for life and property, for the free enjoyment of their religion, and for the prosecution of any lawful and proper business.\n\n5th. That other ports be opened to British commerce, viz., those in the Yang-tze-kiang river, and to the northward; and that it be permitted us to navigate any river in China.\n\n6th. That one of the other islands of the Chusan group, viz., the populous and cultivated island of Lowang, twenty-six miles in circumference; or the island of Tehinsauna, eight and a half miles long from east to west, with good anchorage in both monsoons on the north-east part of the Chusan group or archipelago, be ceded to us. By the adoption of such a system of definite policy, we should be establishing a physical and moral power in China of the utmost consequence to us as a nation, and pregnant with beneficial results of the highest magnitude.\n\nIt is the duty of statesmen to legislate and act for the future as well as for the present. The prescient mind can discern in the vista of coming events a period when the peninsula of Hindoostan will claim that right of self-government for which we are now educating the Anglo-Indian people. We ought to be preparing for such a change, and to be now engaged in the formation of a controlling and directing power in ...",

        "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.

And whereas, for the purpose of giving greater facility to the carrying out the intentions of this Ordinance, it is necessary and expedient that all the houses in the Colony of Hongkong inhabited by Chinese be numbered: Be it therefore enacted and ordained, That every Chinese Householder shall cause to be affixed to his house a painted Number of such description, and in such manner as the Registrar-General shall direct, under a penalty not exceeding Forty Dollars.\n\nV. And be it further enacted and ordained, That for the benefit and protection of the well-disposed and honest Chinese Inhabitants of the Colony, every such Householder shall receive a Ticket in English, signed by the Registrar-General, containing such particulars as the Registrar-General shall deem expedient, which ticket shall be produced when required, under a Penalty not exceeding Twenty Dollars.\n\nVI. And be it further enacted and ordained, that every such Householder shall cause to be hung up and exhibited in some conspicuous part of his house, a Board inscribed with a true and accurate List of all Persons resident therein, and shall deliver to every person so residing or living in his house, a ticket sealed with his seal, and containing such particulars and of such form as the said Registrar-General shall direct, under a penalty of not more than Twenty Dollars, and which said ticket shall be given up to and cancelled by such Householder, whenever such person or persons so residing or living in his house shall cease to do so; and the possession of such ticket by any person whomsoever shall be prima facie evidence of its delivery by such Householder; and if any such Householder shall deliver any such ticket to a person of notoriously bad character, or if any person while resident in the house of such Householder without such Ticket, shall be convicted on the oaths of one or more credible witnesses of felony, then and in any or either of such cases, such Householders shall be liable to a penalty of not more than Twenty Dollars: Provided always that the penalty last above mentioned shall not be levied where such Householder shall bring, or use his best exertions to bring, the offender or offenders to Justice.\n\nVII. And be it further enacted and ordained, That every such Householder shall at all times give the said Registrar-General such information as he may require of him for any of the purposes of this Ordinance; and shall also report to the Chinese Officer of the District in which he shall reside, all marriages, births, deaths, and every change connected with any person or persons whatsoever arriving in or departing from his house, under a penalty of not more than Twenty Dollars.\n\nVIII. And be it further enacted and ordained, That for the benefit and protection of the European Residents of this Colony, every Chinese domestic servant, artificer, or workman residing on the premises of and employed by Europeans, shall, on producing to the Registrar-General a certificate from his employer or employers, and having obtained Chinese security to his or their satisfaction, be furnished with a Registration Ticket by the Registrar-General containing such particulars as may be expedient, and that the absence of such Registration ticket after the tenth day of service, shall render such domestic servant, artificer, or workman liable to a Fine of Twenty Dollars.\n\nIX. And be it further enacted and ordained, That every such Chinese domestic servant, artificer or workman having obtained a Registration Ticket as aforesaid, shall deliver the same to his master or employer, and the said registration ticket shall be returned to him duly endorsed by the master or employer whenever the term of service shall expire; Provided always that if such domestic servant, artificer or workman shall leave his master or employer without permission, or shall so misconduct himself as to be dismissed, then the said master or employer shall deliver the servant's Registration Ticket to the Registrar-General with the cause of such domestic servant, artificer, or workman leaving his service endorsed thereon.\n\nX. And be it further enacted and ordained, That after the date of the passing of this Ordinance it shall not be lawful for any person or persons to hawk Goods or Wares of any description whatsoever on the streets or roads of the Colony under a penalty of not more than Twenty Dollars, unless specially permitted to do so by the said Registrar-General, who shall enquire into the character and receive proper security for the good conduct of such hawker, before such permission shall be so granted, and that the said permission may at any time be forfeited on conviction of any offence before a Police Magistrate.\n\nXI. And be it further enacted and ordained, That every Chinese Boat, or Vessel plying for hire within the waters of this Colony, or carrying passengers between this Colony and the neighbouring ports, shall obtain from the Registrar-General a certificate of such form and under such security as to him shall seem fit, upon payment of a fee according to size as in the Schedule hereunto annexed marked A, and while in the waters of this Colony such Boat or Vessel shall carry on each Bow and on the Stern the Number of Registry number of its Register Ticket, painted on wood or tin, which Ticket to be affixed number shall be supplied by the Registrar-General; and if any person being owner or master of such boat or vessel shall let to hire or ply, or cause to be let to hire or plied, any such boat or vessel within the waters of this Colony, without having first applied for and obtained such Certificate of registry, or having obtained such certificate, shall not have affixed the number thereof on the bows and stern of such boat or vessel as aforesaid, or shall shew a false Certificate of Registry, or one granted to another vessel, or shall permit or connive at the said certificate being made use of for any other vessel, or shall paint or exhibit a false number on the said boat or vessel, or shall refuse to shew such certificate of registry to any person when so required, he or they shall in any or either of such cases for every such offence forfeit and pay a sum not exceeding Fifty Dollars, and be liable to confiscation of the boat on non-payment of the fine; Provided that these provisions shall in no case apply to Vessels visiting the Colony for the purposes of Trade.\n\nXII. And be it further enacted and ordained, That from and after the passing of this Ordinance any person who shall reside or continue to reside on the Crown Lands in this Colony without permission from the Registrar-General, or shall erect any Dwelling-house, Mat-shed, or other Building thereon, shall be liable to a penalty of not more than Fifty Dollars and the removal of his House or Shed, in accordance with the provisions of Ordinance No. 14 of 1845, called \"An Ordinance to Repeal Ordinance No. 5 of 1844, entitled 'an Ordinance for the Preservation of good Order and Cleanliness within the Colony of Hongkong and its Dependencies,' and to make other provisions in lieu thereof.\"\n\nXIII. And be it further enacted and ordained, That it shall and may be lawful for any Police Magistrate to cause any person being a Chinese who shall be brought before him, to find reasonable security for his appearance at any time within twelve months, whenever he may be required to give evidence in any Judicial Proceedings, or answer any Charge that may be preferred against him; and in case such person shall fail to find such security, and shall not be a permanent resident in the Colony, such Police Magistrate may order such person to leave the Colony and not return thereto, under a penalty of not more than Fifty Dollars or three months' Imprisonment with or without hard labour.\n\nXIV. And be it further enacted and ordained, That every Chinese who shall not possess a Registry Ticket in conformity with the provisions of this Ordinance, or shall wilfully conceal or falsify the particulars of any information required of him for the purposes of this ordinance, or shall give a false name, or description, or shall transfer or lend his registration ticket to any other person, or shall wear or shew the registration ticket of another as his own, for the purpose of evading the provisions of this Ordinance, or shall in any way infringe the provisions of this Ordinance, he shall, where no other penalty is hereinbefore specially provided, be liable to a penalty not exceeding Fifty Dollars for any and every such offence; Provided that nothing herein contained shall apply to any trader or other person coming to or going from this Colony for any lawful occasion, should he be able to give a respectable reference if required.\n\n61",

To start, we need to identify coherent sentences and paragraphs.\n\n## Step 2: Identify and correct spelling errors.\nUpon closer inspection, there are numerous spelling errors, such as \"Rite\" instead of \"Right\", \"Anghel\" possibly being a name or word that is not clearly recognizable, \"cc.\" likely being an abbreviation, and \"dif e\" likely being \"differ\".\n\n## Step 3: Fix spacing issues and rejoin broken sentences.\nThe text has several spacing issues and broken sentences. For example, \"I have women doubts\" should likely be \"I have some doubts\", and \"the M. cc. & dife feel\" should be \"the M. C. C. & differ feel\" or more likely \"the Magistrate and Council feel\".\n\n## Step 4: Restore paragraph breaks and indicate missing words.\nThe original text lacks clear paragraph breaks. We need to identify natural breaks in the text to separate it into paragraphs. Missing words should be indicated with \"...\".\n\n## Step 5: Format the text in Markdown and adhere to the given rules.\nHeaders, bold text, and tables should be formatted according to Markdown syntax. File references should not have spaces inside parentheses.\n\n## Step 6: Re-examine the text for newspaper reordering and data in tables.\nThe text does not clearly indicate a need for newspaper reordering or reconstructing tables.\n\n## Step 7: Finalize the proofread text in HTML format as requested.\nThe final output should be in HTML format using `` for paragraphs.\n\nHere is the rewritten response in HTML format:\n\nI am directed by Saul Grey to transmit for the Consideration of the S.

And I do not think it likely that...\n\nPage 59\n\nI infer that the time for pronouncing any censure upon him is not yet.\n\nCopy 2.\n\nLonger term, the changes ought to be considered from... Untrue. And regarding the despatch from Aberdeen, I thank you for kindly sending it to me.\n\nHelene C. — Junewound.\n\nAs for the rest of the text, it appears to be a jumbled collection of words and phrases that do not form coherent sentences or paragraphs, likely due to OCR errors or text being from different contexts or columns. A more detailed reorganization or correction is needed for these parts, following the rules for newspaper reordering and handling Chinese writing direction if applicable.\n\nGiven the constraints and focusing on the initial parts that can be somewhat corrected:\n\n...\n\nhas been transformed into a more readable format with some corrections. However, a significant portion of the text remains incoherent and may require additional processing or manual correction to be fully understood or to be made readable. \n\nTo fully adhere to the instructions and given the complexity and the state of the provided text, a more detailed step-by-step manual correction or reorganization might be necessary, especially for the latter parts of the text.",

For collating this his Papers together I have, indeed, trouble in collating them with each other.\n\nYou describe Mr. Hulme as a Political drunkard, and state that you have yourself witnessed and deplored that fact. You designate him as \"Filonus\" and contrast this value with the value of his services.\n\nThis is a difference which I am at a loss to understand between the language of which you term \"the officious or complacent though this vigilant accused\". A conclusion or inference which you have drawn from the testimony of others, and not as a matter of fact which you had yourself witnessed.\n\nInstead of sticking to this charge of habitual drunkenness you have now alluded to what's related at \"the Complaint\" (whatever that may be) and some accusation which took place on the one occasion of Keying's last visit to Hongkong (a circumstance that may have been). You appear to admit that the alleged habit has been abandoned since the arrival of Mr. Hulme's Family from England; and you speak of it as a \"habit which occurred when his Family were absent.\"\n\nWhether I am to understand that you are still adhering to your original declarations that the Chief Justice was a habitual drunkard - that\n\nPage 6\n\nDe van Persie of the 28th\n\nJm\n\nAr\n\nof tin 284\n\n6-\n\nValmerston\n\nobten.\n\nde her Bache: of the 22nd May you speak of your own conclusions with regard to Mr. Hulme, as though they had been advanced by you.\n\n \n62 tishning\n\n \n στ \n\n\" which a sober judge w. uender.\n\n \nhis services. \n\n \nconlast this vahe with the value of \n\n \nbecomes redundant after re-organisation. \n\nChanges made:\n1.

Removed extra spaces and added missing spaces to improve readability.\n4. Corrected hyphenation and line-break artifacts.\n5. Rejoined broken sentences.\n6.

The number plying to each particular port is regulated by the traffic and transit of passengers, which seems to have neither materially increased or fallen off during a period of upwards of two years past, in which I have received lists of these boats furnished periodically by the native police officers, and continues the same.\n\nThe second class, which I have named \"Casual visitors,\" consists chiefly of junks on their way to Canton or the western coast; a few large Singapore traders with cargo for Amoy or further in the Yellow Sea, which on occasion of rough weather outside or through want of water or provisions, or at times while waiting for a favorable wind, come to anchor in this harbour. There are also Portuguese lorcha boats, and occasionally freighted from Macao to Canton by Europeans, besides a few Chinese junks bringing flints, saltpêtre, camphor, alum, coarse cloth for the consumption of the poorer classes, crockery, fire-wood, oil, charcoal, and sundries, from various districts on the coast, and they purchase opium in return.\n\nLarge boats putting in with sugar from the district of Toong koon and Tin-pak, and other ports on the western coast, have lately increased in number. The sugar trade promises to become one of much importance to the Colony; some of these boats, I understand, are regularly employed since the establishment of the trade, in the transport of sugar, and might perhaps be more properly included in the class \"Regular traders.\" The only other description of vessels in this class which may be deemed worthy of mention, is the fishing craft which swarm on our coast, making the villages of Stanley and Aberdeen, the latter particularly, their winter quarters. I have frequently seen several hundreds of large junks, and in one or two instances probably from twelve to fifteen hundred fishing boats of all sizes congregated there.\n\nDuring the winter months, the population...",

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.

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.

        "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. D'E. PARKER,\n\nCoroner.\n\nAND. SHORTREDE, Foreman.\n\nJOHN CAIRNS.\n\nJOHN G. MORISON.",

The preceding Tables have been compiled from the Consular Returns of the British and Foreign Import Trade at Canton for the year 1846. They do not include, however, the goods sold outside the district of custom-house.\n\nThe weights and measures stated are those in use at Canton. 1 catty is equal to 1⅓ lb. avoirdupoise; hence 1 picul of 100 catties corresponds with 133 pounds in England. 1 chang is 4 English yards nearly.\n\nThe value given has been computed upon a moderate estimate, according to the average prices of the year in the Canton market, including the duty and other charges.\n\n(Signed) FRANCIS C.

The inclosed abstract contains an account of shipments made since January. The sugar exported is not the produce of this island (where, however, there are some mills), but brought hither in Chinese junks.\n\nThe entire absence of all port-charges and of every tax upon com- merce, the non-existence of any custom-house, and the shelter of the magnificent harbour of this colony, must all tend to create at no distant period, a flourishing commerce at this port. Indeed, the tonnage returns in the last blue book appear to prove that no inconsiderable amount exists already.\n\nThe harbour-master informs me that a cargo of 400 or 500 tons of sugar is now ready for shipment to England as soon as a vessel can be procured.\n\nI have, &c. (Signed) J. F. DAVIS.\n\nInclosure 2 in No. 2.\n\nExport-Sugar.\n\nABSTRACT of Sugar exported from Hong Kong from 1st January to 31st July, 1847, in 10 vessels, of the burthen of 4,095 tons.\n\n  \n    No. of Bags.\n    No. of Tons.\n    Value.\n    Destination.\n  \n  \n    188,33\n    962\n    £12,046 0 0\n    Sydney-New South Wales.\n  \n  \n    2,500\n    156\n    1,499 O 0\n    \n  \n  \n    3,900\n    192\n    3,650 0 0\n    Hobart Town-Van Diemen's Land.\n  \n  \n    \n    \n    \n    Bombay.\n  \n  \n    18,075\n    1,157\n    15,838 0 0\n    London.\n  \n  \n    \n    \n    \n    Bombay.\n  \n  \n    4,178\n    278\n    2,269 0 0\n    \n  \n  \n    47,486\n    2,745\n    35,302 0 0\n    \n  \n\nMemorandum.-The above Abstract does not include 999 boxes (or tubs) of Sugar Candy, the value of which is unknown.\n\nVictoria, Hong Kong, August 3, 1847.\n\n(Signed)\n\nWILLIAM PEDDER, Harbour-Master.\n\nPage 60\n\nPage 61",

No 143. of November. from Your Lordship requires me to furnish such observations as occur to me on the statements made by Mr. Parker respecting the course to be pursued in Canton.\n\nIn regard to Mr. Parker's two principal propositions seem to be these. First, a mere Blockade of Canton (in lieu of receptivity) instead of more active measures; and secondly, a differential duty on the tea shipped at Canton.\n\nHowever, the initial response directly output the text in HTML without fully adhering to the step-by-step correction process due to the complexity and uncertainty of some OCR errors. A more detailed correction would involve:\n\n1. Correcting \"Cou\" to \"Council\", \"Boar\" to \"Board\", \"Trad\" to \"Trade\", \"ingructions\" to \"instructions\", \"He Harber\" to \"Herber\", \"Lir\" to \"Sir\", \"вир\" remains as is due to being non-English and potentially incorrect OCR, \"ytheis\" to \"thesis\", \"aquaint\" to \"acquaint\", \"Preacups\" to \"Precautions\", \"Juny\" to \"June\", \"Bm\" potentially to \"Bombay\", \"gay\" to \"from\", \"Pectoris\" is unclear and might be part of a date or location, \"Deapott\" to \"Despatch\", \"Rovember\" to \"November\", \"No. Racker\" to \"Mr. Parker\", \"hoking\" to \"course\", \"recepity\" is unclear, \"Rochlity\" to a potential \"receptivity\", \"Dea's\" potentially to \"tea's\".\n\n2. Ensuring proper spacing and rejoing sentences.\n\n3. Converting the corrected text into HTML.\n\nThe final output is a simplified HTML version.

It should be impressed on the authorities that if Prisons are associated they should be under constant and effective control and with this view it is essential that officers should not only be present with the men in the large rooms during the day but that they should sleep in each floor to prevent communication and disorder during the night .. It might be possible in the verandah in the suggested external gallery or verandahs of Gaol A to construct a small sleeping room for an officer having an inspection into the rooms ..\n\nI cannot say how far it might be suitable in such a Climate to divide the large rooms into small separate sleeping apartments one to each man (Sham Shui Po has adopted this plan at Pak Sha Wan with the best effects and they have it at Shaung Hing Ring also) to be submitted for approval ..

        "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",

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.

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": "Appendix.\n\nReport on the Tea Trade,\n\n[66]\n\nled to the craving desire for opium as a counter stimulant, is deserving of consideration; certain it is that strong coffee (coffeine) among the Turks, Persians, and strong tea (theine), (coffeine and theine are similar in their elementary qualities) among the Chinese are followed or preceded by the use of opium or similar deleterious stimulating narcotics. It is stated that in the manufacturing districts of Great Britain, where tea is very largely consumed at all meals, opium is now being introduced.\n\nThe statesman is bound to watch apparently minute and remote causes in their operating influence on the character of a nation, and to look more to the preservation of the physical strength and moral power of a people, than to any imaginary increase of revenue or trade from one branch of commerce. Since the commencement of the present century tea has increased in consumption per head in Great Britain more than sugar, wine, tobacco, &c., and it now amounts to more than 20 oz. per annum for each man, woman, and child. 28,000,000 people in the United Kingdom consume double the quantity of tea that is used by the whole population of Europe (including Russia), North and South America, Africa, and Asia (exclusive of China and Japan), although the duties in these countries are low, or, as in the United States, nil.\n\nIt is asserted that if the Government reduced the duty on tea, a diminution of price would follow and cause a still larger consumption of tea in England. But low prices (if such be desired) would probably not be obtained by any reduction of the Government revenue. Other causes will operate in the reduction of price. Competition among the European merchants at Canton, and the necessity for selling cotton goods and other manufactures for which tea is received in barter, has tended to maintain for that commodity high prices, but it is expected that the opening of ports contiguous to the tea districts will materially reduce the prime cost. Mr. Consul Alcock informed me at Foochow foo, that he ascertained tea could be shipped from that port at 20 per cent. less than the Canton prices. The commercial prospects of this capital of the Fokien province will be found under its distinctive head. Some tea has been shipped from Ningpo, and several cargoes from Shanghai direct for England (see Shanghai Consulate). The shipments from the latter-named port will probably increase in return for the large quantities of British manufactures sent thither. Competition will thus take place with the Cantonese, and the sale price be lowered materially. Considerable efforts have been made by the Chinese and former Hong merchants at Canton to confine the foreign tea trade to that city; and in this they have been aided not only by the possession of large capital, enabling them to make contracts with and advances to the tea cultivators and manufacturers, but also by an extensive credit which assists them to take off and dispose of a considerable quantity of our manufactures, and by the routine of old established channels which are not easily changed, and also by the promulgation of official documents and edicts arising partly from the Imperial policy of keeping foreigners at the extremity of the empire, and partly from a fear of losing the transit and other duties which tea pays during its conveyance from Fokien and Chekeang to Canton. Tea will ultimately be shipped from the most convenient port near to the place of growth, when our merchants are permitted to carry on a free and unrestricted intercourse with China, which would be far more beneficial for the Chinese than for ourselves. Chusan produces considerable quantities of superior tea, which is sent manufactured to Ningpo and other places for the use of the mandarins. Were Chusan or some contiguous island a British possession, tea would be brought from different ports of the adjacent sea coast, and thus shipped for England at a reduced cost. It is not our policy or interest to maintain the tea trade at Canton; on the contrary, we ought to promote this valuable commerce in the northern ports.\n\nThere has latterly been considerable fluctuations in the price of tea, in consequence of extravagant speculations. About the mouth of June 1839, when the intelligence of Commissioner Lin having issued prohibitory edicts against opium smuggling reached England, speculation began in tea, and was principally sustained by the operations of a wealthy retired opium dealer. Congou rose from 1s. to 1s. 5d. per lb., and this description of tea became the regulating price for all other teas.\n\nOn 1st August, news of trade being stopped at Canton reached London, and Congou advanced to 1s. 8d.; in October to 2s. in consequence of Captain Elliott's order that no British ship should go up the river to Canton. On 2d December Congou rose to 2s. 7d., it being known that hostile measures were to be forthwith adopted towards China. The stock of tea on hand in England, 31st December 1839, was 52,500,000 lbs., and the quantity delivered for 1839 was 32,366,412 lbs. On 16th January 1840, the speech from the throne announced that Her Majesty's Government considered the dispute with China national, and the price of Congou rose to 3s. 2d. per lb. The rumour of a treaty being arranged by Captain Elliott brought down prices to 2s. 9d., but on the refusal of Lin to ratify it, they rose to 3s. 2d. On the arrival of tea taken out of American ships at Hong Kong, and permission to land it, prices fell to 2s. 8d., but rose on 11th March 1840 to 3s. 2d., on rumour that a declaration of war against China had been issued by the Governor-General of India, in the name of the British Government. When it was known that no declaration of war had been issued, prices fell to 2s. Thus the fluctuation proceeded, affected by every true intelligence or false report artfully promulgated.\n\nAt the close of 1840 the stock on hand was 46,500,000 lbs., and the quantity delivered for home consumption during the year, 35,136,232 lbs., the highest prices during the year, 3s. 3d., lowest 1s. 11d. per lb. Throughout the year 1841, the speculations were continued, almost every day producing a new rumour and a rise or fall. On 17th August a dated letter was inserted in second edition of the Herald and Chronicle, which was said to have been received from Man, 27th April, and put on board the Bombay steamer after the mail and other despatches had been embarked. In this letter it was asserted that the Emperor had ordered the destruction of all teas, and that the order was rigidly obeyed, that hostilities had recommenced, and that\n\n[67]\n\nAppendix.\n\nReport on the Tea Trade.\n\nnot 1,000 chests of tea had found their way to the outer coasters by smuggling. This fraud rose prices immediately, but they fell again on the discovery of the forgery. On 31st August the stock in the United Kingdom was reduced to 29,000,000 lbs., the lowest which had taken place, and this aided the rage for speculation. The siege of Canton, its evacuation, the local truce, indemnity of $6,000,000 caused large operations in what were termed \"time bargains.\" A gambling called \"puts and calls\" arose, one person purchasing from another the right of buying or selling to him at a certain price, a defined quantity of tea on a given day. The announcement that although we were pushing the war on the east and north coasts of China, the truce was to exist with Canton, and trade to proceed as usual, almost entirely checked the speculation in November and December 1841. On 31st December 1841 the stock on hand was 36,000,000 lbs., and the quantity delivered for home consumption 32,262,905 lbs.\n\nPrices ranged for Congou from 1s. 4½d. to 2s. 9d. During 1842 speculation was slow and cautious, but the market nearly resumed its usual steady operations, and prices fell to 1s. 5d. on the arrival, 22d November, of the treaty of Nankin. The quantity consumed for the year was about 36,000,000 lbs., and the stock in hand 34,000,000 lbs.; range of prices, 1s. 5d. to 2s. per lb. for Congous.\n\nProbably at no period since the celebrated Mississippi scheme was there ever greater and more prolonged speculation in one article. Expresses were established between Marseilles and London; large sums paid for early official information; newspapers were fed for promulgating false intelligence. At Garraway's the speculators continued this gambling in tea throughout the evening, and for a part of the night. Monied interest was transferred from the Stock Exchange to the Jerusalem Coffee-house and to Garraway's Mart. The mania spread into the country among wholesale and retail dealers in tea, and fortunes were lost and made with marvellous rapidity. The usual results ensued; the steady pursuit of trade was abandoned for the wildest gambling. Men who rose wealthy in the morning were beggars at night, and suicide, bankruptcy, and ruin to many a hearth and home closed the scene.\n\nIt behoves the Government to avoid interfering with the routine into which the trade has now subsided. Some persons still hold inferior teas, almost rubbish, that were purchased at enormously high prices during the speculation. Their only prospect of sale is a reduction of the duty, and an alteration in the mode of levying the duty, by admitting inferior teas at a lower customs rate. These persons and their agents are therefore very clamorous for an alteration in the duty to suit their purposes; but Government can look only to the public interests, and these were considered as best served by an uniform rate of duty on all teas entered after 1st July 1836.\n\nIt was attempted in 1834, when the trade with China was thrown open by the abolition of the monopoly of the East India Company, to levy ad valorem duty of 1s. 6d. per pound on Bohea, 2s. 2d. per pound on Congou, 3s. per pound on Souchong, &c. This was deemed preferable to the mode adopted previous to 1834, viz. 96 per cent. on all teas sold at or under 2s. per pound, and 100 per cent. on all teas sold above 2s. per pound; but the levy of a discriminating duty on Bohea, Congou, &c. was, after two years' trial, found impracticable, and in 1836 the uniform rate of 2s. 1d. per pound on all descriptions of tea was levied, which, with the additional five per cent. imposed in 1840, makes the total duty now levied per pound 2s. 2¼d.\n\nThe present system of an uniform duty on all teas was adopted at the urgent request of the tea brokers and tea dealers in England; and it is impossible to examine impartially the evidence taken before the Select Committee of Parliament, appointed 6th May 1834, to inquire into the expediency of establishing one fixed rate of duty, without seeing the justice of such a proceeding, no less for the interest of the public than for the advantage of the revenue.\n\nSir George Staunton, who was on that Committee, and possessing the largest information, truly observed that he believed the present system of a rated duty had not the support of a single individual who ever was in China. Moreover, any rated duty as to quality or price would exceedingly disturb the simplicity with which the tea trade is now conducted at Canton, where the merchant is unfettered in his purchases by any other consideration than the intrinsic goodness of the leaf he is buying. If two or more rates of duty were levied in England, inferior qualities of tea would be produced, whereas when the duty is alike on all teas, good or bad, the merchant finds it his interest to export only the good.\n\nThe consumption of tea in the United Kingdom being estimated at 45,000,000 lbs. yearly, and sold at an average price to the consumer of 4s. 6d. per pound, the money expended for tea is £10,125,000.\n\nThe expenditure of this sum is distributed as follows:\n\n  \n    Net cost of 36,000,000 lbs. at 1s. 5d. per pound, or about 25 taels per picul, 717 taels to 1,000 dollars, or about 70d. per tael exchange dollar of 4s. 2d. to 4s. 3d. picul 133 lbs.\n    £2,250,000\n  \n  \n    Export duty in China, $3.37 per picul, or 1¼d. per pound, about\n    £280,000\n  \n  \n    Shipping charges, &c. in China'\n    £25,000\n  \n  \n    Freight, &c.

        "content_text": "To Sen, Viceroy of Canton.\n\nThe Council of Government of the Province of Macao, Timor, and Solor, received on the 18th instant the Despatch which your Excellency addressed to them on the 14th, announcing that an individual suspected of the murder of the Most Excellent Governor João Maria Ferreira do Amaral had been apprehended by the Mandarin of Shon-tak, and that the head and hand of the illustrious deceased, which had been discovered at Sain-tin, a village of the same place, were entrusted by your Excellency to a deputed officer to be delivered to this Council: also that your Excellency, having personally examined the criminal, a copy of whose confession, unauthenticated, was enclosed in the Despatch, had ordered him to be executed, and his head to be delivered to the same deputed officer, to be conveyed to Macao, and exposed at the place where the crime was committed, as a warning to others.\n\nThis Council had intended deferring their reply to your Excellency's Despatch until after the receipt of the head and hand of the illustrious Governor, but as they have not been delivered up to this date, which is exceedingly strange, after your Excellency had positively stated that they had been sent on the 16th, the Council has judged it proper not to delay their answer any longer, chiefly because it behoves them on this occasion to condemn the unheard-of manner in which your Excellency has thought fit to treat this affair, and to protest against the fresh insult which has been conveyed to the Portuguese Government in the aforesaid Despatch, as will be better perceived in the course of this reply.\n\nIn the first place, it behoves this Council to insist in the most positive manner on the prompt delivery of the head and hand of the late Governor, the detention of which can never be justified after the official declaration made by your Excellency in your Despatch, in the face of which the delay that has occurred must certainly be regarded as most extraordinary and inconsequent.\n\nAs to the treatment of the unfortunate man Sen-chi-liang, who, it is said, declared himself to be the real assassin, no one should lament it more than your Excellency; inasmuch as the proceedings having been illegal, but rather in opposition to the laws and customs observed in all civilised countries, without excepting even the Empire of China, where trials in similar cases are conducted on a very different principle, and which in this instance were evidently altogether disregarded, the deviation that took place in the present case tends greatly to aggravate the position of the Chinese authorities in relation to it.\n\nOn whatever side the proceedings adopted towards this unfortunate man are regarded, a precipitancy is conspicuous, which reveals immoderate anxiety on the part of those who condemned him summarily to remove him from the scene where he occupied so important a position.\n\nIt is publicly notorious that the outrage of the 22nd August was committed by seven Chinese: and even admitting that one man was capable of attacking two persons on horseback, it would have been impossible for one person, on that occasion at least, and in the short space of time which that atrocious act occupied, to consummate it so completely and with so much barbarity as those who have seen the mutilated body of the ever-lamented Governor can attest. It being therefore evident that Sen-chi-liang, if he really was one of the assassins, had accomplices, and the criminal having confessed his crime, it was the duty of the authorities, before ordering him to be executed, to discover and identify not only his accomplices, but those also who were cognizant of the crime; and the necessary inquiries and other formalities indispensable, as required by the Law, should have been proceeded with, not only in order to arrive at an exact knowledge of the truth, and for the satisfaction of the party offended, but in the present case, even for the interest and dignity of the Chinese authorities, as this was the only method of removing from themselves the responsibility which still attaches to them. And finally, if the allusion made by your Excellency in a previous Despatch, and which is repeated in the confession of the criminal, viz., as to the possibility of the assassins having been bribed by Portuguese, was not calumnious, this was the occasion for your Excellency to justify it, and if the opportunity was not taken advantage of, it is not the fault of this Council, on whom it is incumbent to protest, as they do, against all these violations of rights transgressed, and more especially that of Her Majesty the Queen of Portugal, to whom entire and complete satisfaction is due.\n\nTo the paper which came enclosed in your Excellency's Despatch, and which your Excellency wishes us to regard as the confession of the criminal, this Council will merely here allude for the purpose of declaring to your Excellency, that besides its not possessing any character of authenticity, it is deficient in all the proper forms necessary to establish its validity, notwithstanding your Excellency personally interrogated the criminal; and furthermore, between this paper and the first despatch from Your Excellency, such an identity of ideas, language, and even of style, is perceptible, as lends to the supposition that either both those productions were from the same pen, or that advantage was taken to reiterate in the confession the insults and outrages of the Despatch; and under this supposition, the Council repel them, renewing their former protest; and they demand from Your Excellency the withdrawal of the order which is said to have been given for the exposure at Macao of the head of the executed man, under the assurance that the Portuguese government will never consent that such an exposure should be made in their territory.\n\nIn conclusion, this Council would observe, that the proceedings taken by your Excellency, far from diminishing, aggravate your responsibility in the case of the assassination of the illustrious Governor of this Province; and that instead of being a reparation for the laws and rights transgressed, or a satisfaction to outraged justice, they appear to set at naught all laws and rights, and to outrage justice still further, which can never be satisfied with similar subterfuges, as unworthy in themselves as they are derogatory to those who make use of them.\n\nIn the last place, this Council have to declare again to your Excellency, that reparation being due to Her Majesty for the offence committed against her, this Council reserve to their Sovereign, free and intact, the right of taking that satisfaction which may seem good to her in her wisdom, the Council confining themselves, as their strict duty compels them, to protest to your Excellency.—1st against the unjustifiable detention of the head and hand of the illustrious Governor, which should be delivered without delay;—2d, for the apprehension of the principal and accomplices in his assassination, for which your Excellency is duly responsible since the apprehension of the above-mentioned Sen-chi-liang, which must have enabled the competent authorities to discover them; and 3d, against the intended exposure of the head of that unfortunate man at Macao, holding your Excellency answerable for the consequences which may result in default of compliance.\n\nMacao, 23rd September, 1849.\n\nJURUNINO, Bishop of Macao—Joaquim Antonio de Moraes Carneiro—Ludger Joaquim de Faria Neves—Miguel Pereira Simões—Joze Bernardo Goularte.\n\nMANUEL PEREIRA.",

        "content_text": "CORRESPONDENCE\n\nBETWEEN\n\nTHE COUNCIL OF MACAO\n\nAND\n\nTHE MANDARIN OF THE DISTRICT.\n\nThe Mandarin Tro-lang, Wang; to the Procurador... ». The Mandarin Teo-tang, Wang, &c. I make known to the Council of Government, that I have received a Despatch from the Mandarin of Caza Branca, in which he states that he has received from Gan-cha-su another Despatch informing him that the Mandarin of Shon-tak had seized a criminal and discovered the head and hand of the noble Governor, all of which he had taken to Canton to be examined:\n\nThat the Lieut-Governor, after trying and sentencing the assassin, had ordered his head to be taken to Macao by a deputed officer, there to be exposed to the public, and at the same time to deliver the head and hand of the noble Governor!\n\nThat the three men, the soldier Sem-fong-liong, Bi-lin-pin, and Tang-to-shen, should be first surrendered, in order to show good faith.\n\nUnder these circumstances, I address this Despatch to the noble Council, that they may order the immediate delivery of the three men, Sem fong-liang, Si-lin-pin, and Tang-to-shen, that I may make it known to my superiors; and as soon as the deputed officer arrives, I shall again address you. Taukwang, 29th year, 8th moon, 4th day, (20th September, 1849).\n\nThe Procurador to the Mandarin Teo-tang, Wang. I, the Procurador, &c, make known to the Mandarin, that having laid before the Council your Despatch of this date, they direct me to inform you, that they have already received a Despatch from the Viceroy of Canton on the subject, stating that a deputed officer has been despatched to deliver up the head and hand.\n\nIt is necessary, therefore, that they be given up immediately without any clause or condition whatever, so that after being identified as the real ones, they may be received, and in default, the Council will not answer for the consequences.\n\nThe Council further direct me to inform you, that they will never consent that the head of that unfortunate wretch who was executed be exposed at Macao. Finally, they order you to be advised, that it is not your place to correspond with the Council, and that you are well aware of the course to be followed in this respect, and no further correspondence will be received by them from the Mandarins of the District.\n\nMANOEL PEREIRA.\n\nMacao, 20th September, 1849.\n\nThe Mandarin Tro-tang, Wang, to the Procurador, The Mandarin Tso tang, Wang-In reply to the last Despatch of the Procurador relative to the murder of the noble Governor Amaral, —\n\nI proceed to communicate to you, that in a case of this nature His Excellency the Viceroy of Canton could not fail to use diligence for the apprehension of the culprit and discovery of the head and hand, which he in fact obtained; and, as has been already intimated, a deputed officer will bring the head to be delivered to the Portuguese Government.\n\nThe deputed officer is expected at Caza Branca in the course of the day, of which I inform the Procurador, that you will let me know the hour to-morrow on which the reception is to be made, in order that when the deputed officer arrives, he may make the delivery at the appointed time.\n\nWith regard to the three men belonging to the Barrier gate, it would be convenient, when you are about to give them up to me, that I also should receive previous notice, in order that I may report the same to my superiors.\n\nAs to the head of the criminal, as the Portuguese Government does not wish it to be exposed at Macao according to the laws, I will select some other place to expose it to the public. As soon as the deputed officer arrives, I shall again address you.\n\nTaukwang, 29th year, 9th moon, 9th day. (25th Sept.)\n\nThe Mandarin Wang, Tso-tang, to the Procurador. Wang, Tso-tang, &c.—I make known to the Procurador, in consequence of your answer to me stating that the reception of the head and hand of the noble Governor will take place at the Barrier gate, and that I should inform you of the arrival of the deputed officer, in order that you might fix a day for the reception, that the deputed officer has already arrived with the head and hand of the noble Governor; and I hope that the Procurador will let me know when the reception will take place, in order that the said deputed officer may go and deliver them up.\n\nI hope so that you will inform me when you will surrender the three individuals belonging to the Barrier gate, as this is necessary.\n\nTaukwang, 29th year, 8th moon, 10th day. (26th Sept.)\n\nThe Procurador to the Mandarin Tee-tang, Wang. I the Procurador, &c., make known to the Mandarin, that having laid your despatch of this date before the Council of Government, they direct me to communicate to you that o'clock on the morning of the 27th instant is the hour fixed for the reception of the head and hand of the most Excellent deceased at the Boundary Gate, when the delivery should be made at the appointed hour.\n\nMANOEL PEREIRA.\n\nMacao, 26th September, 1849.\n\nThe Mandarin Teo-tang, Wang, to the Procurador. The Mandarin Tao-tang, Wang, &c.-I make known to the Procurador that you having addressed me several times requesting that when the deputed officer should arrive, I would let you know, for the reception of the head and hand of the noble Governor Amaral; you however have never mentioned the three individuals belonging to the Barrier gate, and even yesterday, when you stated that the day and hour for the reception had been fixed for 5 o'clock in the morning,you did not allude to those individuals. As the orders given by His Excellency to the deputed officer were, that the head should be given up after the three individuals had been delivered to him, therefore, as these have not been surrendered, he cannot answer to His Excellency, and as a deputed officer from the Imperial Commissioner, how can he dare to deliver them of his own accord? I therefore address the Procurador that you may deliver without delay these three men, when the head of the noble Governor shall be immediately given up; and if you are not going to deliver them, it is unnecessary to fix the hour for its reception.\n\nI have thought proper to communicate this to the Procurador.\n\nTankwang, 29th year, 8th moon, 10th day. (26th Sept.)\n\nThe Procurador to the Mandarin Teo-tang, Wang. I, the Procurador, &c, &c., make known to the Mandarin Tao-tang, by order of the Most Excellent Council of Government, that a long time having already elapsed since the hour fixed at your request for the delivery of the head and hand of the Most Excellent the deceased Governor of this Province, the Councillor Amaral, which delivery has not taken place, owing to the non-appearance on the spot appointed for that purpose, of the person charged to give them up, in grave violation of the consideration due to the Portuguese Government, and of the good faith with which it has a right to be treated, the Council direct me to intimate to you that such a proceeding on your part, which would have been very reprehensible in other circumstances, is intolerable in the present case, as it is in opposition to what was communicated to the Council by the Viceroy of Canton.\n\nYou were well aware, for you had been informed, that the delivery was to be unconditional; and therefore I am charged by the Council to repeat to you that they do not admit any other terms or condition than that the delivery be made before 4 o'clock this afternoon, the latest period the Council can fix; and if at that hour the head and hand are not effectively handed over to the persons entrusted by the Council to receive them, the Council will not hold themselves answerable for the consequences that may ensue, owing to the excitement of all the Portuguese people, justly irritated by such a proceeding.\n\nWhilst writing this (10 o'clock A. M., I received your chop of yesterday, stating that the deputed officer, having orders from the Viceroy not to make the delivery until after receiving the three Chinese, who, not being criminals, are only detained here until the conclusion of the necessary investigations, cannot avoid complying with them. The Council, before whom I immediately laid your communication, desire me to inform you that the Viceroy, in his chop to the Council, clearly and explicitly says that he was about to send the head and hand of the deceased Governor, to be delivered to the Council, without taking any condition.\n\nThe Council could neither accept them with any conditions whatsoever, nor the Viceroy impose any without compromising himself gravely: and if in the beforementioned chop he alluded to the release (and not to the delivery) of the said three individuals, it was evidently to make it dependent on the restitution of the head and hand of the Illustrious Governor, which is due to the Government of Macao as the most sacred of all rights, and which the Council cannot renounce, but which it is indeed their duty to maintain, as they are decided to do at all risks.\n\nHaving adverted in your previous chops to the delivery of the aforesaid three Chinese, inquiring when they would be given up, you only now think of invoking the name of the Viceroy to insist upon it as an\n\n226",

Tive tambem participação deste sucesso, da estação de Hian-Xan, e do Mandarim de Macao, acompanhada da copia do Edital do Conselho do Governo. Neste Edital, pois vejo que os aggressores não podiam ser gente pacifica e negociante de Macao. Logo não haviam de ser os indigenas que commettessem esta aggressão, mas sim os de fóra. Sendo pois assim como é que com tanta pressa se pode saber?\n\nO Nobre Governador como em vida foi de genio assás cruel, quem sabe se os da propria nação, que lhe tinha aversão aliciassern gente para lhe fazer este mal, a fin de satisfazer o seu odio! O dizer que em Cantão ter havido pasquins e proclamações, e que as Authoridades Chinas deviam sabe-lo; segue-se então que este assassinio fosse obra das Authoridades -De mais é preciso que prandam os assassinos para se saber onde estão a cabeça, e a mão; sem isso donde é que lhas poderei entregar? E' por tanto fóra de toda a razão o que n'Officio vem exposto.\n\nA Lei sobre o assassinio está clara; é necessario que as indagações se façani, tanto por um como por outro lado, para se vir no verdadeiro conhecimento do facto. a fim de poder julgar e sentenciar. A vida do homem é devida aos Ceos, não se deve por tanto lançar confusamente juiso neste ou naquelle. É quanto tenho a responder ao Conselho do Governo de Macao 10 da 7a. Lua do anno 29 de Tau-kuang, 27 de Agosto de 1849.-Traduzido por mim abaixo assignado\n\nJoao Rodrigues Gonsalmes.\n\nAo Siu Vice-Rei de Cantão.\n\n-(C)-O Conselho do Governo de Macao, respondendo ao Offi-cio de V. Exa, de 27 do corrente em resposta ao que este Conselho The dirigio em 23 deste mez, tem de dizer a V. Exa., que em resultado do exame e averiguação a que eale Governo mandou proceder, sobre o attentado atroz e cruel commettido na tarde do dia 22 deste mez ficou evidentemente provado.\n\n1. Que aquelle barbaro e brutal acto foi perpetrado por Chinas á luz do dia, á vista e á pequena distancia do posto da Porta do Cerco, que estava guarnecido por Soldados Chinas, sendo isto attestado por testemunhas de vista.\n\n2. Que os assassinos, depois de consummado o crime, se dirigiram, levando a cabeça e a unica mão do Exmo. Governador, para a Porta do Cerco, por onde passaram incolumes, como attesta a declaração por escripto do Cabo China de guarda daquelle posto; constando tambem, que os assassinos ali se demoraram algum tempo e fizeram sacrificios e libações ao Pagode, o que é comprovado por uma cabaia ensanguentada que ali se achou, e pelos vestigios de sangue, que se encontraram ainda de fresco em varias partes do edificio.\n\n3. Que o attentado não foi simples obra de assassinos e salteadores é evidenciado pelo facto de se terem sido levadas a cabeça e mão do Illustre Finado, o que mesmo V. Exa. talvez sem o querer, reconhece no seu Officio, e uma vez que é certo que os assassinos levaram consigo as provas do seu crime sem receio algum, não é natural a presumpção de estarem elles protegidos pela segurança e certeza da sua impunidade quando commetteram o crime? e esta presumpção não somente é bem fundada, mas cada dia está sendo confirmada pela morosidade e mesmo negligencia com que as Authoridades China se tem havido neste negocio, não obstante ser elle tão grave, e de tão serias consequencias: e quem não vê, dos que tem conhecimento da actividade e recursos da Policia Chineza, que o pouco que ella tem adiantado no presente caso, é a consequencia de algun calcullo a cujos fins talvez não seja muito difficil atingir?\n\n429\n\nA vist do exposto verá V. Exa. quão mal cabida é a asserção de ser fóra da razão quanto este Conselho expoz no Officio que escreveu a V. Exa. em 22 do corrente; e com quanta justiça poderia agora este Conselho fazer boa applicação do termo ao Officio a que está respondendo; do qual se vê claramente qual é o designio das Authoridades da Provincia a que V. Exa. preside; e o Conselho vem de novo declarar a V. Exa. que similhantes evasivas e tergiversações não somente são indignas e aviltantes ao character de funccionarios da cathegoria de V. Exa. e de quem alardea principios de Justiça e boa razão, mas ja mais poderão servir ao fim, que talvez se tenha em vista de evadir a responsabilidade no presente caso; porquanto o Conselho reiterando agora o protesto que enviou a V. Exa. em 23 do corrente, renova a reclamação que então fez da prizão dos criminosos, e da restituição da cabeça e mão do Illustre e sempre chorado Governador, pondo a cargo e responsabilidade de V. Exa, todas as consequencias que puderem resultar de não ser prompta, e cabalmente satisfeita esta reclamação, ficando livre e salvo o Direito de Sua Magestade Fidellissima A Rainha de Portugal, Offendida na Pessoa do seu Representante.\n\nO Officio de V. Exa. é concebido em termos de tanta indeferença quanto ao facto accontecido, e tão offensivo ao character do Illustre Finado, e ao credito de todo este bom povo portuguez, que este Conselho o não pôde ver seuão com espanto e indignação; e ao mesmo tempo que repelle a maligna insinuação, que V. Exa. se não pejou de lançar em um papel official assignado do seu proprio punho, o Conselho protesta a V. Exa. contra este novo insulto e ultraje por V. Exa. feito á memoria do Illustre Represente de S. Magestade Fidellissima o fallecido Governador, e á dignidade e bom nome da Nação Portugueza, representada pelos Habitantes desta Cidade.

Amaral em vida mandou affixar numeros europeus em todas as lojas em Macao, e exigio taxas.\n\nTambem exigio dinheiro de cada embarcação, e o gastou; e aquelles que lhe não annuiam á exigencia, mandava-os logo prender, e depois de accoitados, mandava-os conduzir para a cadeia.

Que aos 5 da 7a. Lua, então, ouvindo elle dizer aos mesmos portuguezes de Macao, que Amaral havia de sahir de tarde ao passeio a cavallo, sem levar muita gente, elle declarante fez espera no caminho, e pela volta das 6 horas, quando Amaral passou a cavallo, vendo que à occasião era favoravel, deitou-o do cavallo a baixo, e com a espada curta (taifó) que trazia escondida, lhe cortou a cabeça e mão, e levou-as a sacrificar aos manes dos seus antepassados, e depois fugio immediatamente; e como depois ouvisse dizer, que se estavam fazendo diligencias para prender o assassino, elle se foi occultar; mas a final pôde ficar preso pelos meirinhos e soldados. Que a cabeça do Amaral enterrou elle n'um lugar chamado Sam-Tim. Que se elle assassinou o Amaral foi por este ter destruido as suas sepulturas, e por nenhum \n\n(a) Campo das Amoreiras,\n\nmotivo mais; e por tanto pedia se lhe fizesse a graça; asseverando que tudo o que disse era verdade.-Tradusida por mim abaixo assignado. João Rodrigues Gonsalves.\n\nA SIU VICE-REI DE CANTÃO. (F)-O Conselho do Governo da Provincia de Macao, Timor, e Solor recebeo em 18 do corrente o Officio que V. Exa. lhe escreveo em data de 16, participando-lhe que tinha sido preso, pelo Mandarim de Shon-Tac, um assassino do Exmo. Governador João Maria Ferreira do Amaral, e descobertas em Sam-Tin, aldea do mesmo lugar, a cabeça e a mão do Illustre Finado, que V. Exa. remettia nessa mesma occasião por um Commissario, encarregado de as entregar a este Conselho; e bem assim que, tendo V. Exa. inquirido pessoalmente a esse criminoso, cuja confissão veio remettida, por copia não authentica, com o dito Officio, V. Exa. o mandara justiçar, e ordenara, que a sua cabeça fosse entregue ao mesmo Commissario para ser trazida a Macao, e exposta no mesmo lugar em que foi commettido o crime, para escarmento dos outros.\n\nEste Conselho havia reservado responder ao sobredito Officio de V. Exa. para depois que tivesse recebido a cabeça e a mão do Illustre Governador, mas não se tendo até esta data verificado a sua entrega, o que é summamente estranhavel depois de V. Exa. haver dito positivamente que havia feito a remessa no dia 16, o Conselho julga não dever differir por mais tempo esta resposta, muito principalmente por que lhe incumbe nesta mesma occasião repellir o modo insolito por que V. Exa. achou conveniente tratar este negocio, e protestar contra o novo insulto, que no referido Officio foi dirigido ao Governo Portuguez, como melhor se verá no desenvolvimento desta resposta.\n\nEm primeiro lugar cumpre a este Conselho insistir de modo o mais positivo na prompta entrega da cabeça e mão do Finado Governador; cuja retenção não pode já mais justificar-se depois da declaração official por V. Exa. feita no seu supradito Officio, á vista da qual é de certo muito para estranhar, por extraordinaria e inconsequente, a demora que tem havido.\n\nQuanto ao procedimento havido para com esse infeliz denominado Sen-Chi-Leong, que se diz, declarara ser o proprio assassino, ninguem o deve lamentar mais do que V Exa. mesmo; por quanto, não havendo elle sido legal, antes em opposição a todas as leis e praticas observadas em todos os paizes civilisados, sem exceptuar o mesmo Imperio da China, onde o processo em casos taes seguem mui differentes tramites, e que neste foram evidentemente atropelados, o desvio que no presente caso houve tende muito a aggravar a posição das Authoridades Chinezas em relação a elle.\n\nPor qualquer lado que se olhe o procedimento havido para com aquelle desgraçado, se ha de forçosamente notar uma precipitação, que revela um demasiado empenho, da parte de quem tão summariamente o condemnou, em o fazer desapparecer da scena, onde elle tinha \n\nde\n\nÉ publico e notorio, que o attentado do dia 22 d'Agosto foi com-",

        "content_text": "mettido por sette Chinas e, ainda admittida a hypothese de haver um capaz de accommetter a dois homens montados, já mais era pos-> sivel a um só, naquella occasião ao menos, e no curto espaço do tempo que durou aquelle acto atroz, o consumma-lo tão completa. mente, e com tanta barbaridade, como o podem attestar todos quan- tos viram o cadaver dilacerado do sempre chorado Governador. 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. a justificar, e se ella se não approveitou não é culpa deste Conselho, a quem só incumbe protes- tar, como protesta, contra todas estas violações de Direitos offendi- dos, e mais especialmente do de Sua Magestade a RAINHA de Portu- gal, a Quem é de vida inteira e cabal satisfação.\n\nAo papel que veio incluso no Officio de V. Exa., e que V. Exa. pertende seja tido como confissão do réo, este Conselho ha de ape. nas alludir neste lugar para declarar a V. Exa, que alem de elle não ter character algum de authenticidade, carece de todas as formas le- gaes para poder ser valido, não obstante ter V. Exa. pessoalmente interrogado ao réo; e de mais entre este papel e o primeiro Officio de V. Exa. nota-se tal identidade de ideas, de lingoagem, e mesmo de characteres, que induz a supposição de que ou ambas aquellas produções procederam de uma mesma penna, ou que se quiz appro- veitar a occasião para reiterar na confissão os insultos, e as affron- tas do Officio; e nesta supposição o Conselho os repelle, renovando o seu protesto anterior; e elle tem de exigir de V. Exa. a revogação da ordem que diz, dera para ser exposta a Macao, na certeza que o Governo Portuguez ja mais ha de consentir, cabeça do justiçado em que em territorio seu se faça similhaute exposição.\n\nEm conclusão dirá este Conselho a 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. Mesma Senhora para haver a satisfação que lhe é devida, como me- Ihor Lhe aprouver na sua alta sabedoria, limitando-se este Consello, como the incumbe o seu rigoroso dever, a protestar a V. Exa. 1.° contra a injustificavel retenção da cabeça e mão do Illustre Gover- nador, que cumpre sejam entregues quanto antes-2. pela prisão dos authores, e cumplices do seu assassinio, pela qual V.

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.

        "content_text": "(2)\n\nHong Kong is a desirable and convenient locality to be made the fulcrum of this moral lever. Although the spoken dialects are very dissimilar in different districts, the written characters—being the symbolical representatives of ideas, and not alphabetic combinations of sounds—are everywhere the same. The Holy Scriptures and Christian Books, translated into the Chinese character, will therefore be understood everywhere by the educated portion of the Chinese. The ability to read is very general in Chinese cities; and none but the poorest classes neglect the education of their male offspring.\n\nBoth these objects, however, the Christian Press, and oral instruction by living teachers, must, as far as possible, be blended together in their due proportions.\n\nIn the rural districts it is a common circumstance to find the great majority of the villagers sunk in abject poverty, and unable to read. That class of our fellow-heirs of sin and sorrow, to whom the Gospel was designed to be preached as well as to ourselves, are consequently shut out from a most important channel of Religious Instruction. An extract from the writer's published volume on China may here be appropriately introduced to explain his views on this part of the subject:-\n\n\"During the Author's journeyings and residence in the northern ports, the following facts were impressed constantly on his mind:-1. The very partial prevalence of education among the bulk of the lower classes of people in the villages, though in the towns the ability to read was much more general; 2. The consequent importance of direct preaching to the people; and, 3. The expediency of providing means for the systematic preparation of Native Evangelists to accompany and assist European Missionaries in the work of oral instruction. These considerations point out the importance, at some future period, of a good 'Anglo-Chinese Missionary Institution,' in which an able Missionary should devote his principal endeavours to the work of imparting the benefits of a first-rate education to a limited number of youths of promising talent and disposition. At present there is a want of materials for such an Institution, as the first elements of education have to be previously imparted in common Schools, before any Seminary or College can be raised. To reverse the order of these two distinct kinds of Educational Agency, is to confound the natural course of things. Such materials, though not existing at the commencement, may ere long be raised up about the families of Missionaries, and among the children of Converts. A proficiency in the more elementary branches of Education, conveyed to them through the medium of books composed by Missionaries, in the Chinese language, and a lengthened test, under the eye of Missionaries, of the mental powers and moral disposition of individual pupils, will in due time point out proper subjects for receiving the more solid advantages which a thorough education in the science and theology of the West, through the medium of the English language, will confer on Native Youths in their endeavours to diffuse the Gospel among their fellow-countrymen. For this higher course of education it may be expedient to form a Missionary Seminary at a distance from the place of their nativity, where a few pupils of promising piety and ability may be collected together in one place, from the several Stations on the Coast of China, and at the same time be detached from the unfavourable influences of kindred and home. Hong Kong, though replete with dangers from European intercourse and the inconveniences of distance, yet may possibly hereafter afford the greatest facilities for carrying out such a plan.\n\n\"The system of Central Education is generally open to objections; but the circumstances of the China Mission are regarded as being peculiar, and dissimilar from other Missions. A Missionary, occupying the post of Principal of such an Institution, might hold daily Family Services, and occasional Public Services, at his own house, for the benefit of such Chinese as might be induced to attend. The youths thus carefully educated and trained, with a view to personal dedication to the work of evangelizing their countrymen, might, on the completion of the necessary course of instruction, return to the Missionaries on the Continent of China; where, by the Divine Blessing on the means employed in their preparation, they might become valuable and efficient aids to the European Missionaries.\"-Pp. 520-522\n\n(3)\n\nThe Institution, of which, in 1846, the writer gave the afore-mentioned outline in prospect, is now about to be realized, under more favourable circumstances, and on a larger scale, than he then was authorised in contemplating. An Episcopal College, of which the Bishop of Victoria is to be ex-officio Warden, is now about to be established at Hong Kong. The Special Committee of the China Bishopric Fund having succeeded in raising, from voluntary sources, the necessary endowment for the newly-constituted See, have also directed their attention to this important object, and have taken initiatory measures for obtaining Contributions towards the Episcopal College. The commencement of such an Institution already exists, in a School erected under the superintendence of the Rev. Vincent Stanton, the Colonial Chaplain, at an expense of nearly £3000, to which he himself contributed the munificent sum of £1000. Stanton having been informed of the probability of a Bishop being speedily nominated for Hong Kong, has recently written to the Trustees in England, in whom the building is vested, expressing his wish that it might be made the foundation of the proposed Episcopal College. He states that the ground and building are in every respect excellent; that there is abundant room for separate buildings, or an enlargement of the present building; and that the house is well situated for the present residence of the Bishop.\n\nThe opportune transfer of this building is a valuable commencement; but increased funds will be required to enlarge it to the scale contemplated. A debt of £643 is due on the present building; and £3000 more, at least, will be required to erect apartments for the Tutors, and for an increased number of Students. The needful sum, therefore, for originating the Institution, and supporting its current expenditure for the first year or two, cannot be estimated at less than £5000. Independent of this Building Fund, there will be required a permanent Sustentation Fund, in the form of Annual Subscriptions. For a portion of this annual expense the Founders of the College look to the liberality of British Residents in China, who have never shown themselves reluctant to support any charitable object which has commended itself to their approval. It is also deemed no premature nor unreasonable expectation to hope that Her Majesty's Government will assist, with an annual pecuniary grant, an Institution which will have an important influence in improving the tone of international intercourse between the subjects of the two countries. But it is believed that the support of the College will mainly devolve on Christians residing in Great Britain.\n\nThe China Mission is as yet in a state of infancy, and the course of education pursued in the Institution will necessarily, for some little time, be of an elementary kind. For a few years Missionary Labours at Hong Kong will be to a great extent a work of preparation; and the present generation of Labourers may be privileged only to plough the soil, and sow the seed, of which the next generation may reap the harvest. The writer deems it expedient to content himself with this general exposition of his views, and to leave further details to be modified according to circumstances and corrected by future experience.\n\nAs no Public Society is likely at present to undertake a Mission of the Church of England at Hong Kong, the scale of operations in the proposed College must be altogether adapted to the amount of Voluntary Contributions. It is, however, the earnest desire of the Bishop to take with him to China at least two Clerical fellow-labourers in the College, as Sub-warden and Tutor, to be associated with him in the blessed work of preparing the future Native Evangelists of China. He will also gladly attend to the proposals and cherish the offer of any zealous and well-qualified Labourers, who, with their support guaranteed by a Public Society, or by friends at home, may be desirous of consecrating themselves to the service of God abroad, and of being sent forth as Ordained Ministers of our Church, to labour among British Seamen and Soldiers, or among the Heathen in China.\n\n287",

Davis's having sanctioned it (if he did, to which I think it does not clearly appear) will make no difference as he had no authority to do so.\n\nThe rules of the public service show that the accommodation required for the good of the service has been increased.\n\nIf it comes before the Governor, it will be a good ground for making either an additional payment or a yearly allowance.\n\nI fear that the information it contains is so very important to render...\n\nPage 215\n\n...\n\nUpon re-examining the original text and following the instructions:\n\n1. Corrected spelling errors.\n2. Fixed spacing issues.\n3. Rejoined broken sentences.\n4. Restored paragraph breaks.\n5. Indicated missing words with `...`.\n6. Formatted in HTML using `` for paragraphs.\n\nThe original text appears to be a historical document, possibly related to the governance or administration of Hong Kong, given the mention of \"Hong Kong\" and \"Governor Bonham.\" The content discusses official correspondence, remuneration, and the rules of the public service. The text has been corrected and formatted according to the provided guidelines.",

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",

The first step is to correct these 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 labels.\n\n## Step 3: Correct spelling errors and fix spacing issues.\nCorrecting spelling errors and fixing spacing issues are crucial. For example, \"wick Short he completist\" could be corrected to \"With regard to the completion\" based on context, but since the instruction is not to rephrase, we'll correct obvious errors like \"desciable\" to \"desirable\".\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 instructions.\nIf a word is clearly missing, `...` should be inserted. File references should have no spaces inside parentheses.\n\nGiven the complexity and the errors in the original text, a corrected version in HTML format using  for paragraphs is provided below.

Lena, who was appointed Treasurer at Hong Kong, & discharging the duties of Registrar there having died in 1852, Lord Grey appointed Harry ... as Registrar General. Whilst, for the sake of convenience, the Registrar General performs the duties of Treasurer. In 1850, the Treasury here did not seem to have clearly understood the state of the case, suggested that the salary of the Office should be raised from £300 to £200 per annum.\n\nI was disposed, I think on good ground, to doubt the propriety of this reduction, and therefore the opinion of the Governor was called for. But no answer has been received. In the meantime, Mr. Masson obtained this appointment. I was not apprised of any reduction being contemplated. On his arrival in the Colony, the then Governor & his Council regarded the question as already decided by Lord Grey's despatch of 1850, and the Salary fixed at £200. This evidently is a mistake, for the proposal by Lord Grey had not been answered, and consequently no decision pronounced on it.\n\nWherefore, I think the local authorities have been premature in depriving Mr. Masson of any of the Salary of the Office. My own opinion is that £300 a year is not too much for an Officer who, bearing an inferior title, has to perform the duties of his Superior. For the sake of economy, that Superior has combined with his own office that of Treasurer.\n\nThat any augmentation of pay; & considering the intention expressed to Mr. Masson by Lord Grey, that rate of the situation, which led him to accept the place, it would probably be only right to decide at once to give him £300 a year.\n\nPage 363\n\nPage 363\n\nPage 363\n\n...\n\nPage 364\n\nPage 364\n\nPage 364",
