Sargeaunt to Rogers (Permanent Under-Secretary)

Referring to my letter of the 21st May last I have the honor
to report, for the information of the Duke of Buckingham and
Chandos, that the Crown Agents for the Colonies have received
the following remittances from the Government of British
Columbia since that date:

Bill matured 23rd June
£1,000

Bill maturing 4th August
1,000

Bill maturing 8th July
1,000

Bill maturing 3rd Septr
1,000

Add amount available on the  15th June last
3,245

Total
£7,245

The liabilities on account of Interest and Sinking Funds on
Loans, including the amount which will be required on the
15th Instant, are

Interest
£4,200

Sinking Fund
6,425

Total
£10,625

By discounting the Bills in hand funds sufficient to meet all
Interest up to the 15th Instant will be obtained, leaving
£3,045 for Sinking funds less the cost of discount, which, at
the present rate, will fortunately be very small.
