19th May 1858.
My Lord
The accompanying letter is the duplicate of one previously forwarded. The news by the last mail from Frazer River, fully confirms the previous rumours respecting the extraordinary richness mediumof New Caledonia as a gold region, from private and pretty accurate sources. I may observe that I am tempted to believe that it will exceed in that respect anything heretofore known
I remain
