[AUGUST 8, 1857.
I further transmit to you copy of the Mercantile Navy List, which contains the Name and Official Number of every British Registered vessel, as well as her distinctive Code Sigual, as represented by Four Letters and their corresponding Flags,
This List will be found very useful for purposes of reference, and may afford the means of detecting fraud in cases where a Ship's name has been illegally assumed or altered for improper purposes.
It is published by Messrs Bradbury and Evans, of 11 Bouverie Street, Fleet Street, and also by Mr Mitchell, of 54 Gracechurch Street, at the price of Seven Shillings and Sixpence, and will be renewed every year.
You will deposit that List in the hands of the Registrar of Shipping for Hongkong.
I have the honour to be, Sir, Your most obedient Humble Servant,
THE OFFICER ADMINISTERIng the Government of HONGKONG.
