cease at Hongkong. There are two obvious and efficient remedies. One is that in each department, and especially in the office of the Colonial Secretary, there should be here, as in other Colonies, an Assistant Secretary, or Chief Clerk, capable of acting temporarily, in charge of the office during the absence of his principal. An arrangement of this kind would lead to real economy of public funds, as well as to the prevention of confusion in the public service. With respect to the second remedy alluded to above I propose to address Your Lordship in a separate despatch.
