SIR,—

With reference to the printed "Deci-
sions" of Her Majesty\'s Commissioners, which
have already reached your Excellency through
the Secretary of State for the Colonies, I am
now instructed to enter into some further
explanations, for the information of the gentle-
men, in the Colony under your Government,
who may undertake the duty of forming a
collection for the International Exhibition in
1862.

In the first place, it would facilitate the
arrangements here if the appointment of the
Commission or Central Authority referred to
in the Decisions" were to take place at as
early a period as practicable.
