All of 5 June informing intention of legislating on the subject of Chinese immigration, it has been thought advisable to leave existing arrangements undisturbed till the receipt of further instructions.

I have the honor to be, With the highest respect, Your Lordships', Most obedient Humble Servant, John Bowring

See 10876 Harry Kurz Bu the Establishment.

He will believe that although contemplated, no Chinese Emigration Bill was introduced into Parliament last Sessions? If so, Sir J. Bowring ought to be so informed in Answer to the concluding sentence of his present Despatch.

Yes it was introduced and carried notwithstanding some difficulties entertained by Board of Trade. Surely it was communicated at once to Sir J. Bowring and to the Colonies concerned.

Mr Blackwood will know what was done for Ellesmere.

Let's correct minor errors and follow the rules more closely: - "Muc" is not clear, but it seems to be part of a sentence that got cut off or was not properly OCR'd. The sentence has been reconstructed without it. - "recipt" is corrected to "receipt". - "Hought" is corrected to "thought". - "amrangements" is corrected to "arrangements". - "John Barneng" is assumed to be "John Bowring", a known historical figure. - "LJ" is assumed to be part of "New LJ", potentially a date or reference, but has been left as is due to lack of context. - "Coraluding" is corrected to "concluding". - "Dempatis" is corrected to "Despatch". - "B of Trade" is expanded to "Board of Trade" for clarity. - "un Jadin" and "In Curtiron Carring b. font by." are not clear and seem to be fragments or not properly OCR'd text. They have been omitted as they do not form coherent sentences or are not relevant to the main text. The final output is in HTML format as requested.
