thereto a quarterly Memoranda and other documents it seems account. From certain probable that an account of this description was rendered to the 31st December last, but No Copy of it can be found in the office. The Book Kept with regard to the intestate Estates of deceased Seamen shows several receipts during the December Quarter and various loose papers and receipted bills show likewise disbursements, but the balance I cannot ascertain, and I would recommend that applications should be made to the Board of Trade for a Copy of the missing Return, should it have been rendered.

There are also other sums occasionally received by the Harbor Master on deposit for discharged seamen, or in order to pay Hospital expenses when seamen are to be left behind through sickness. I can trace at least four receipts of this description since December last amounting together to two hundred and forty-two dollars thirteen cents without however finding corresponding disbursements and Mr Lording, the Acting Second Clerk, through whose hands this money apparently passed, states that in each case it was paid over to our Newman.

Excluding therefore from consideration the Intestate Estates of deceased Seamen, of which it is impossible to judge - there is a deficiency of twelve hundred dollars on account of Emigration Brokers Licenses and of at least two hundred and forty-two dollars thirteen cents of sums deposited to the credit
