SUPPLEMENT
TO No. 82.
VICTORIA, HONG-KONG, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 12rá, 1842.
FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT. pakan makanana carens Canton, 9-October, 1843, ~ The Silk market has been opened, by the pur- chase of 260 Bals of new Silk, all that has yet come down, at from 8440 to $470. The parcel consisted of best, right and fair quality Tsatice and will cost in London at the present rate of Exchange about 17 s to 18s per pound, S
Seeing that the supply from hence has been so scant and anticip ated arrivals but inconsiderable, it will pay a fair remittance without doubt.
The Export of Silk, were it of any magnitude from hence, would however bring China Silks down to their relative proportion with other Silks. A position they have not occupied in the English market during the last three years.-The Tsat. lees will home by the Patna which is now load-
go ing.
In TEAs there is not much doing. Imronts gene- raly are drooping. The Cargo of the Quintin Leitch consisted of Congou lbs.755,000Hyson 6,200 that of the Eliza was Congou lbs. 703,546 Souchong 2,185. Pekoe 87,638, do Orange 3,911. Twan- kay 25,864. Young Hyson 10,385. Imperial12,414, Gunpowder 18,736, Total lbs. 864,973,
Chin Chinning YUET. Ou Saturday night prepa rations were made to Chin Chin the moon, in order
•
to prevent a typhoon. Many of the Chinese houses. had poles of from 20 to 40 feet high, on which were lanterns, and all sorts of grotesque figures of dra. gons, men, etc. This
was harmless enough, but the whols length of the Queens Road was disturbed from mor- ning to night by the letting off of Chinese crackers. The noise was bad but the smell was ten times worse, Let the Chinese amuse themselves, that is all fair, but the legs and health of the English Colonists should noi be put in jeopardy by those devotees, firing cannons pistols, guns, and worse than all, aboruinable crackers, on the public highway.
ROBBERIES Kaong Akwei was tried on the 27th ult. for an attempt on West point Barracks, with intent to Steal. The case was clearly proved, and the Bu. ylar sentenced to have 40 lashes, and be banished the Island. A Chinese fisherman named Wong-tse-keu was time for robbery, and false imprisonment of another Chinese, and the case having proved, he was sentenced to receive 60 lashes, 6 months imprisonment, and re- fund the amount of his theft viz, 829,60, Ou the 5th inst. Ching-Asing, and Woong Footsee, were tried for robbery. Case being proved, and that the prisoners had been lately released from jail-they were sentenced, each to receive 50 lashes, two months imprisonment, and then banished the Island. Chun-Atat...for Steal. ing his masters watch sentenced to 30 lashes and 4 months solitary imprisonment.
PIRACY. Three of the crew of Lorcha No. 11 which was scuttled off Chin-Chu, on the night of 9th July, when Dr. Mc.Kinlay, and some other Europeans were murdered, are in custody. The case is before the Authorities here,
The 11th clause in the Customs Act, the 5th and 6th of VICTORIA, chap. 47, to which we have alluded, in our Leader is as follows:-
A
"And whereas goods of foreigir manufacture have been imported into the United Kingdom, and into the British possessions abroad, bearing the names, brands, or marks, of manufacturers resident in the United Kin- gdom,to the great prejudice of such manufacturers; and whereas it is expedient that regulations should be made for the prevention of such importations; be it therefore enacted, that from and after the 5th day of January, 1843, any articles of foreign manufacture, and any packages of such articles, imported into the United Kingdom, or into the British possessions abroad, bearing any names, brands, or marks, purporting to be tho names, brands, or marks of manufacturers resident in the United Kingdoni, shall be forfeited."
