I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your letter No: 648 of yesterday's date, accompanied by a letter from Captain Bruce of Her Majesty's 18th (Royal Irish) Regiment and other Papers connected with complaints against the Master, the "Lady Amherst."

I frequent that you will be pleased to order a Committee to investigate the matter, and I have informed Mr. Queen that this will be done.
