6. As soon as he is declared by a Board of Examiners to have acquired a competent knowledge of such languages as he has been directed to study, and has passed such an examination as may be prescribed in Law, Colonial Regu. lations, and Government Orders, he will be temporarily employed in such of the Departments as may require his services, at a salary of $1,800 per annum, and will be considered eligible for appointment, as vacancies may occur, to offices in the Civil Service, the salaries of which range from $2,400 to $6,000 per anu, with a few special appointments at higher rates.
7. The progress of the Cadet will be tested by periodical examinations, and he will be liable to be dismissed without further pay if he does not pass a final examination in one or more of the languages within such time as may be fixed, or if at any time his progress or conduct shall be considered by the Government to be so unsatisfactory as to render such a course desirable. The Government will decide, having regard to the ground of dismissal, whether the Cadet shall be sent home at the public expense, or shall be left to find his own way home.
8. Subject to the necessities of the service, leave of absence ou half salary may be granted after a period of six years' resident service without any special grounds. It may be given before the expiration of that period in cases of serious indisposition, or of urgent private affairs. In the absence of special grounds, the leave in such case must not exceed one-sixth of the officer's resident service; on special grounds it may exceed that period by six months. In addition to the above, vacation leave on full pay may be granted, if no inconvenience or expense is caused thereby, not exceeding three months in any two years.
9. The present rule as to superannuation is that in the case of ill health an officer may be allowed to retire on a pension after ten full years' resident service; otherwise he must have attained the age of 55. For ten full years'. resident service fifteen-sixtieths of the average annual salary of the retiring officer's fixed appointments for the three years prior to retirement may he awarded, to which one-sixtieth may be added for each additional year's service; but no addition will be made in respect of any service beyond 35 years. For pension purposes absence on vacation leave counts as full service, and leave on half
pay as half service.

The Exchange value of the dollar varies from time to time, but an emer Exchange Compensation allowance is granted to every European member of the Civil Service (including Cadets) to bring one-half of his salary up to the value of 3s. the dollar.
