No. 9, Miscellaneous

I have the honor to forward for Your Grace's information the Report
of a Journey to Fort Simpson, Queen Charlotte's Island, the Nass River, and other parts of the North West Coast, performed in the
summer and autumn of 1859, by R.W. Torrens late Captain in Her Majesty's 55th Regiment, giving interesting descriptions of the
Countries visited, with an account of their auriferous and mineral
productions.

2. Mr Torrens is not in the service of, nor in any way connected
with the Government; but has kindly placed his Report at my disposal
for the information of Her Majesty's Government, for which he has
received my warmest thanks.
