I have also satisfactory testimonials from gentlemen unconnected with the Royal Mint, for the melting and Assay departments, but they also require explanations on the points referred to by Mr Macdonald.
Under these circumstances, I conceive it advisable to communicate with you without delay, and ask for further information as it is at present impossible to propose any period for the deportation of these officials, as that must depend on the report from Hong Kong.
I still think it highly desirable, from the difficulties already experienced, to secure gentlemen for these offices as opportunities offer.
On the receipt of Mr Macdonald's letter, I consulted with Mr Graham, and it was considered desirable to leave the systems adopted by the Peninsular and Oriental Company, the Banks, and Messrs Dent & Co.
The Secretary of the Peninsular and Oriental Company, as well as the Manager, who has recently returned from China, informed me that the salary of Superintendents, in positions of trust, is £1200 per annum, and their principal assistants have £700 per annum.
