British Consulate, Cunton, for December, 1846.

I have to acknowledge the receipt of Your Excellency's Circular to Her Majesty's Consuls, N° 23 of the 30th November,

acquainting with the arrangements

me

made by Mr. Consul Alcock with the local authorities at Thunghae, relative to the return of the import duties on

re

the

- expertation of goods unsateable there. I make no doubt that this concession

is

s of some importance at Shanghae, although the principal advantage-derived from the Bonded Warehouse Tystem, namely, that of deferring the payment of duty until the goods are actually entered for consumption

His Excellency,

Ser Solin Francis Davis, Bart.
