My Lord,
I have the honor to be, with great respect,
Your Lordship's Most Obedient Servant,
CHARLES E. GOLDSMID.

In a despatch dated the 31st July last, Sir H. Pottinger has omitted to forward to Lord Stanley a copy of a communication which he had addressed to the Earl of Aberdeen on the subject of the future establishment of the Chief Superintendent in China and the Governor of Hong Kong, accompanied by Schedules of the Offices which it is proposed to create. He has at the same time referred Lord Stanley himself for any further information on this subject which he might desire to obtain.
I am therefore directed to transmit to your Lordship the whole.
The Salaries and Allowances of the several Offices in Hong Kong and in China are estimated at upwards of $200,000 per annum. Some of these, however, will probably admit of considerable reduction. The reports of the Public Officers on everything connected with Public Works and the Revenue are still in preparation, comparing that the rent of Land and Houses, duties of Customs or of Excise, &c., are matters that require careful consideration.
Hong Kong will be the depot and entrepôt of a population more considerable than that of any other Port on the Coast.
The question of Salaries and Allowances is annually under consideration.
