I enclose a copy of a letter I received 28th inst: from the Nippon Yusen Kaisha. It will be observed that the passage fares from home to Hong Kong have not yet been fixed; also that a reduction of ten per cent will be allowed on the amount already paid in advance for the voyage from Hong Kong to London. Towards the £161 mentioned, myself contributed £92-16-3. Ten per cent of this amount is £9-5-7¼. I submit respectfully that I am entitled to the benefit of this £9-5-7¼, while the Government receives the balance, £6-16-4¼.
