Sir: I have great pleasure in complying with the request of J. R. Hind, esq., F. R. S. and F. R. A. S., foreign secretary of the Royal Astronical Society, expressed in a letter to the secretary of this legation, a copy of which is herewith inclosed, and to send by the dispatch-bag to-day the box stated to contain the gold medal therein mentioned.
