My Lord,
I am directed by their Lordships of the Committee of Privy Council for Trade to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 12th Inst., transmitting by direction of the Earl of Clarendon, for their Lordships' consideration, a copy of a Report from the Emigration Commissioners upon the subject of the Chinese Passenger Act of last Session (18 & 19 Vict. c.104), together with a Despatch from H.M.

Let's correct and reformat according to the given rules and compact knowledge. First, correct obvious OCR errors: - "Jam" -> "I am" - "Fust" -> "Inst." (as it refers to "instant") - "да" -> likely a misrecognition; the correct word should be "the" or another appropriate word, but given the context, it seems "the" is the most plausible correction. - "counderation" -> "consideration" - "Commufrovers" -> "Commissioners" - "Passenger set" -> likely "Act" or another related term; the correct term is "Act" as per the context. - "18 £19." -> "18 & 19" - "d. Wodehouse" -> "Mr. Wodehouse" The corrected HTML output is as above.
