M. Merivale.

14 anys-

With reference to my letter of the 5th inst. I am directed by the Lords Commissioners of the Treasury to transmit to you for the Consideration of the Lords Commissioners of the Treasury a despatch from the Governor of Hong Kong reporting the appointment of Her Majesty's Consul at Canton, Mr. Alfred Lockhart, which has not met with my satisfaction.

The Governor states that this appointment was made at a salary of £250, and that it ought not to be a permanent one.

672.

In their opinion, it is not desirable to state that the Extra Allowance should be permanent, for surely with the concurrence of the Governor, Sir John Bowring, the income of £48,000 to £40,000 a year...

Hongkong, 3rd June, 1856.

The Rt. Honble H. Labouchere, M.P.

Received by the Treasury Commission, and urging appointment of Mr. Rienaacker, on the expected vacancy.

Reporting extra assistance allowed.

I should say his return was very inconvenient by his habit of mixing these communications.

A difference of the Treasurer's accounts appeared by the Gridstone, which cannot I presume be considered a copy to Treasury, but the vacancy actually occurs.

the state in which Mr. Rienaacker appeared to be in when he was called here a few weeks ago.
