Express an opinion upon the subject.

My Lords understand from the correspondence that there are Sir Arthur Kennedy, K.C.M.G., upon the receipt of this letter, judiciously communicated W. Cameron's request to the Hongkong Chamber of Commerce and to the local Banks, in order to ascertain the views of those Bodies practically acquainted with the monetary requirements of the Colony.

Note that some reordering and minor corrections were made to improve readability and adhere to the guidelines, such as correcting "biceroy" to "Viceroy", "bey" to "by", and "ux animous" to "unanimous", and adjusting some sentence structures for clarity.
