is submitted for Your Lordship's consideration.

I shall not trouble Your Lordship with going through the instances of incivility, which have occurred on both sides. No. 20

I part; One of the most unjustifiable. I transmit herewith: but I may say generally that owing to the manner in which it has been conducted by Mr Seales, the Establishment of a regular test office has proved a misfortune, instead of an advantage to this Colony, and considering the vast importance of the subject to the Mercantile Community in China, I trust Your Lordship will urge the Post Master General to put the Establishment here on a efficient footing, and to send out, at his earliest convenience, detailed instructions on the several points before touched on by Sir Henry Pottinger, and on those to which I have ventured to call Your Lordship's attention in this Despatch.

I have the honor to be,

My Lord, Your Lordship's Obedient,

Humble Servant

I beg to suggest that some instructions may be sent out as to the payment of gratuities in China, which forms the subject of the enclosed Correspondence.
