I requested the Lords of the Committee of Privy Council for Trade
               to give directions for the purchase and transmission to 
Vancouver Island
               of the Stores required for the use of the Lighthouses in the Colony for
               which you applied in your despatch No. 105 of the 
7th of December last,
and
               and their Lordships have apprized me that they have been shipped on
               board the "
Countess of Fife," which ship sails for 
Victoria on the 
24th
                  instant.
