At the time when it was imposed we assented to it, as exchange was comparatively high, hat ever since then it has been falling $371,647,50. The burden has therefore became more and more irksome, na we have constantly represented. Now, however, exchange is rising, and the sum which we should have to pay la dollars, if the same arrangement were adhered to, would be becoming less and less. On the other hand, with the proposed new amnagement, the Imperial Government, receiving a fixed sura of 171 per cent in dollars, will naturally benefit by the higher exchange goes.

of the expenditure had already been incurred was among other considerations takan jata sccount, when it was proposed, in Lard Rir Ja's despatch No. B3 of 3rd April last, that the Colony should only pay one third of the net total cost of the Barracks, and if the Imperial Gavernment had agreed to pay the whole cost of the buildings already in hand or completed, it could have only been on the condition that the Colony would
bear a larger proppation than one third of the remaining expenditure. I trust that on further consideration the Members of the Legislativa Council will agree that the proposals of Her Majesty's Government on this subject form a fair and reasonable settlement of the question.
