I have the honor

to state for the information of The Right Honorable the Secretary State that on the arrival of Sir John Bowring at Hongkong. I received a Despatch from His Grace the Duke of Newcastle, dated the 16th February, enclosing copy of a Letter which His Grace сору had addressed to Sir John Bowring and stating that Her Majesty's Gov. would be glad to avail themselves of any suggestions that my experience ste at

I have no

to the effect, that amongst

other

reasons which led me to consider

M. Almada è Castro not a proper and fit person to be Colonial Secretary was that by the Charter ( the Colony or by the Act of

of Parliament it is laid down that should the office of Governor of Hongkong become vacant, it is to be filled by the theat Governor and in the event of there being Sieut Governor, then by the Secretary of the Governments W. d'Almada
