The book is available on Google Books, titled An Anglo-Chinese Calendar, Volume 2. It is a compilation of the individual publications for years 1845 to 1851 inclusive.

I guess it will be of most use for its List of Foreign Residents, which includes Hong Kong, but here is the full contents page for 1849 to give an idea of what else you'll find:
