With reference to my Despatch No. 117 of the 
23rd of April last on
               the subject of certain Hay and Oats which were shipped on board the "
Thames City"
               in 
1858, for 
British Columbia, but are stated to have been
               afterwards unshipped at Gravesend by 
Colonel Moody's direction, I have the honor to transmit to you a copy of a letter from the Board
               or
               Treasury and to request that you will communicate it to 
Colonel Moody
