After receiving this report and

memorandum I requested Mr. Percebois to furnish me with a

report on the working of those branches of the Harbour De-

-partment with which he had been connected for the purposes

of his report on the Junk Traffic; and I will address Your

Lordship in a separate Despatch at an early date on the

subject of the report which Mr. Percebois placed in my

hands.

Mr. Percebois terminated his

connection with this Government on the 31st. of July. His

assistance has been of value,and I have written to the

Inspector-General of the Imperial Chinese Maritime Customs

to thank him for his courtesy in placing Mr. Percebois at

the disposal of this Government.

I have the honour to be,

My Lord,

Your Lordship's most obedient,

humble servant,

S

Officer Administering the Govern-

-ment.
