Sargeaunt to Elliot (Assistant Under-Secretary)

Referring to my letter of the 1st instant I have
honor to transmit to you for the information of the Duke of
Newcastle copy of a letter (received on the 13th instant)
from the Colonial Secretary of British Columbia forwarding
Bills to the amount of £1500; this remittance will enable
the Agents General to pay the interest due on the 1st
proximo on the Loan of that Colony.

Pending his Grace's instructions the Governor has not remitted the amount appropriated for the formation of a Sinking Fund.
