No. 10

I have duly received your Grace's Despatch No. 27 of the
29th September, on the subject of establishing an Assay Office
in British Columbia, and transmitting for my information, copy
of

a correspondence between the Treasury and the Colonial Office,
shewing the arrangements which it is intended to adopt for
carrying the measure into operation.

2. I have the honor to inform your Grace that it is my
intention to proceed with the erection of the necessary buildings,
furnaces, &c &c, as 
soon as I am furnished with plans of
the same.
