I have placed among the Parliamentary grants the two Sums amounting to £20,000 voted in 1857 and 1858 but as they are on account of special objects and not for the ordinary services of the Colony I may state that the Imperial expenditure should be estimated at Nil since 1854, on average over the five years of my Government it amounts to £880 per annum in contrast to an average of £5.

The last year of my predecessor presents an increase of £37,776 or more than 150 per cent.

The total Income of the Colony (including Parliamentary Grants) presents an average augmentation of £11,528, being about 30 per cent, but taking the last year of the two periods, the Difference in favor of the second is £26,561 or more than 70 per cent.

With reference to Population increase it has been 16,340 for the five years preceding.

7. As regards the revenue, the average increase over the five years is 100 per cent. But as returns show it has been doubled during my administration, and the last year of my Government as compared with that during the last year of my predecessor is 36,281 or more than Jan of 1857 and 1858 I am
