I must mention here that two other Colonial Officers receive pay from the funds voted by Parliament to the Superintendency, namely the Attorney General who has £200 a year for his services as adviser to the Chief Superintendent, and £200 to the Surveyor General for his trouble in revising Estimates, preparing Plans and rendering other services connected with his department in the Consular Ports. This want will have to be provided for, I imagine, independently of the Colonial Surveyor.

Provision will have to be made for the loss of the services of Gentlemen of the Commissariat who have been employed by the Colonial Treasurer. Within a few days we have had notice that two of these Gentlemen are about to leave.
