Hong Kong, January 4th 1883.
Sir,
I have the honour to enclose the usual annual Returns of Stamp Revenue for 1882.
Although these Returns shew a decrease of nearly $13,000 as compared with those for 1881, they cannot but be regarded as of an encouraging nature. The decrease in question is caused by a falling off of $18,534 on conveyances, due no doubt to the collapse of the deplorable land mania, and another falling off of $5,276 on Bills of Exchange and Promissory notes. But not only are these two decreases amounting as they do to nearly $24,000
