Referring to my letter of the 
12 ultimo I have the honor to
               report for 
Earl Granville's information that the 
Crown Agents
               have received from the Government of 
British Columbia bills
               amounting to £3500 which the Bank of England have been requested
               to discount for the purpose of providing the necessary funds to
               pay interest on 
British Columbia Debentures due on the 
1 instant.
