the proposal of my Government to abstain from making further remittances to the Crown Agents as he anticipates making a requisition on the Crown Agents this year for $200,000.

2. With reference to the 3rd paragraph of the Despatch under reply, desiring me, in the event of the local balances being unexhausted at the end of the present year, to stop selling out investments in England, and to recommence remitting, I have to state that I am advised by McLister, Colonial Treasurer, that he does not consider a considerable surplus will remain over at the end of the present year.

3. It is the almost unanimous desire of the Legislature and public of the Community to supplement the present inadequate supply of subsidiary coins.

The payment for arrears of Postal Contribution will amount to at least $100,000 by the end of the year.
