11. You are aware, I trust, under the arrangement laid down in the Secretary of State's dispatches, No.224, of 24th March, 1861, the salaries of the Officers employed at the Postal Agent's offices at the Ports are paid by Imperial Treasury, which meets all other expenses apart from those provided for by the salary.

The total expenditure from Colonial funds on account of the whole of Agencies during the year 1818 amounted to £156:6:0, while the Colony received the sum of £292 from the Conveyance of Ship mails between these places and the sum of £1,236:08:5. It is estimated, however, that in consequence of the improvements about to be made, especially at Yokohama, the cost to this Colony will be increased by about a thousand Dollars per annum.
