THE SUPPLEMENTARY APPROPRIATION BILL,
1883.
The Colonial Secretary-I beg to move the second reading of the Supplementary Appro priation Bill for the year 1883, 8132,353.85. The Supplementary Estimates have been laid before the Finance Committee, together with an
explanatory report by myself which I now lay on the table, and having been carefully considered were passed. In fact the greater part of the sums have already been passed, and the putting in of them in the supplementary estimates is a mere matter of form required by instructions to governorsherefore beg to move the second reading of this bill." -

A like number is being col say: The Countess of Errol, reported ashore a few days ago has made a move of several hundred yards, and there is every hops of her getting off if good weather prevails. FROM recently published statistics we note that there is a large annual decrease of the revenue derived by the British Govemment from excise taxes, amounting last year to $1,500,000, as com- tributes this entirely to the decrease in the con- sumption of beer and spirits, principally among the lower classes. Wegesreave remained about stationary, so that the decrease of drink cannot be attributed to lack of means wherewith to pur- chase liquor, and the only possible explanation is that of the spread of temperance principles.
