at #480, per annum, as was explained in the enclosure to the Acting Governor's Despatch N°332 of the 27th ultimo:

4.

The cost of the Superintendency, on MW. Seth's return to his proper duties, will, therefore, be at the rate of $14,086 per annum as detailed in the margin,

Superintendent : #480 1st Clerk. #1440 2202 3rd 720 4th # Messenger. 600 Allowances. #480 72 Contingencies- 157 $4086 454

but this estimate will have to be revised in expril next, when Captain Thomsett retires from the Harbour Office.

I may add that, when this question was recently considered in the Executive Council, it was the unanimous opinion of The Members that the Superintendency of Imports and Exports should be absolutely joined to the Harbour Department, when the Harbour Mastership falls vacant. This is the case at Singapore
