Guarantee is for the caring, undertaking, and guarantee for the damage that will occur after Sept. 30.

Lord Elgin has received representations from the Commercial Community urging the retaining of the China Agency. Various representations have apparently been made from the G.P.O. (3869/07).

MINUTE.

Mr. Just, Mr. Antrobus, Mr. Cox, Mr. Lucas, Sir F. Hopwood, Mr. Churchill, The Earl of Elgin.

The view taken by his Lordship is that it is impossible to maintain a staff at Tientsin owing to the cost entailed falling upon the taxpayers of the Colony, and therefore it will be closed at the end of September unless steps are taken to safeguard the Colony against loss. Accordingly, enquiry is being made as to whether their Lordships are willing to agree.
