to be good enough to forward to Lord Brassey the letter enclosed therein. I am to add and to state, for his Lordship's information that the death rate in Hongkong, (as quoted from memory in Sir James V. Cowen's letter,) is higher than the actual death rate for the last two years, which was given at about 23 per 1000 in the Reports of the Registrar General of Hongkong, not 28 per 1000,
transmitted for the information of the Royal Commission on Opium in the letter from this Office of the 19th of October last.
