All papers of a general nature or expressly relating to Hong Kong, have, since I received the instructions No. 3579, been sent to that Colony.
I have the doubt that the Governor has already received the papers for which he applies.
The accompanying is a list of the Papers sent to Hongkong with the dates of transmission.
1. Report of the Engineer's Commission 1859 - sent March 1860

3. Blue Book Reports for 1858
4. Colonial Military Defences
5. Eight Consular Reports - Annual Report

8. Decimal Coinage
9. Gold coined at Sydney Mint
10. Establishment of Mint
11. Gold Exported

Sent to Sir F. Rogers 22 Aug.
Inform the Governor that all Papers of a general nature expressly relating to Hong Kong have, since the date of Sir E. Lytton's despatch of 7th Jan. 1859, been sent to the Colony.
