Our readers must doubtless have notice from the Hone Key Gazette of the 18th instant that the estimated expenditure of this Colony for the year 1658, amounts to £62,677.3.8, the estimated revenue being Dis,355 exhibiting a deficit of over £13,000 for which sum we presume the Governor has made his arrangements to call upon par

It must be borne in mind, that this is quite independent of the Anny and Navy, which are exclusively paid for by the home government. We cannot fancy the laziest man in the House of Commons, excusing himself for not opposing the vote. First he might say, the Governor's salary is pretty heavy! On looking into matters he would find that the Governor gets 4,000 per annum, and of that the Colony only pays one half. Then he might think that the place was troubled with pirates, and required a heavy police force A glance at the "estimate would show him that £3,000 covered that
