I am directed to transmit, for the information and consideration of the Chamber of Commerce, the enclosed copy of a circular despatch, dated the 11th August last, from the Secretary of State for the Colonies together with a copy of its enclosure.

His Excellency the Governor would be obliged if the Chamber would express its views at an carly date as to whether this Colony should exercise the right of refusing acceptance of the Commercial Arrangement in question.

Your most obedient Servant,

The Secretary.
