that of an Englishman is appointed to a post in this Colony, he is not liable to this expense of occasional repatriation, and his salary is therefore usually fixed on a somewhat lower scale. Mr. Young Hee's fitness for his post is not questioned, and I presume that these were the considerations which led Sir M. Nathan to refuse the application for increase of salary.

I have the honour to be,

My Lord,

Your Lordship's most obedient,

humble servant,

Sty[r] Governor, &c..
