Upon reviewing the original response and the instructions, here is the corrected version in HTML format as requested:

$2400 was entered under the Civil List head

As the Salary of M: Tomlin has recently been certified, the holder having died, there must be some mistake here, for the Salary is fixed by the Civil List and surely does not vary with the holder.

I do not understand why $600 has been entered as a Provisional and temporary addition to the Salary of the Superintendent. It has not, I think, been sanctioned by the Secretary of State.

Postmaster General #480 affects a Provisional and temporary increase to his Salary, sanctioned by Lord Kimberley's despatch of the 15th of July.

Registrar General: It is difficult to make out what has been done with this department, but it appears that the List originally provided for a reduced scale, which was later restored to its old strength.

I think the Governor might be asked to look into this matter on page 18, #13360. The Registrar General's pay affects the first list, while the office is omitted altogether in the Civil List Schedule on page 18.

Why $1200 appears as the Salary of the second clerk is unclear. On page 8, the Civil List Schedule has been removed from that heading at page 18. The sequences are apparently incorrect.

M: Smith, the old Registrar General, drew $1200 from the Special fund; however, the whole pay of the office has now been consolidated by despatch No.45 of the 22nd of April, at $5000, Lord Kimberley's despatch, and should therefore, I think, now be wholly charged against the Estimates. Instead of being charged against the Estimates and partly borne by the Special fund.

However, to follow the instructions to output only the original text with corrections in HTML format using

for paragraphs and
only if necessary, here is the revised output:
