4 The Officer Administering the Government informed the Council a short time since that the. probable balance on hand at the end of this year would be $461,619 but since this announce ment was made the colony has been called upon to pay a larger amunt than was anticipated as representing the sum of £116,000 voted for Defence works. About $20,000 will therefore have to be deducted from the $461,629. But on the other hand the improbability of all the smount estimated for Extraordinary Expenditure being spent will more than likely make up for this deficiency.

Leach helped Blair to take the total to 74, when the latter's masterly innings was closed by his playing a ball of Smith's on to his wicket. Davidson and Platt put on 15 runs while together, but on Lowson resuming the bowling the innings came to an abrupt conclusion, 11 being all that the tail could scrape together.

5. The Council is aware that one of our principal items of revenue arises from the Opium monopoly, which acen ding to present arrange ments is to produce $477,600 a year. But an Item of this nature being actually realized must necessarily depend upon certain contingencies, and it is therefore our duly not to rely too impli- citly upon auch a source of income.

It is a biographical account and history of Adelina Patti, De C ux, and Nicolini. It has been written by the son of a well-known impressario, with the assistance of a number of opera managris and artists. It is full of sensational details of the life of the cele.. brated diva, with anecdotes by well-known personages, to whom her most private life has has been known in France. England, Russia and the United States. The story bow Nicolini cut out De Caux and finally married Patti is given in full.

A sum of $2,000 has been provided for the up-keep of the Epidemic hulk now in course of construction..

The expenses of the Police Department have been somewhat increased in consequence of the reccat changes which have been made in con section with it, while some additional cost has been proposed for the Gaol Department, with view of obtaining men from England to do duly as turnkeys.

But the greatest increase on expenditure is caused by that estimated as necessary for Public Works.

-

As a proof of the continued increase of expendi- ture under this head it is worthy of remark that In the year 1875 the amount expended on the Surveyor General's Department, an Public Work and Buildings, Roads, Streets and Bridges amounted to $169,643, whereas for 1891 the estimated sum for the Surveyor General's, the Water and Drainage and the Sanitary Departments amounts to no less than $320,379, while the total amount ́estimated for the con- struction of such public buldings as have actually been commenced or are in contempla tion is $2.540,237, which will have to be further increased should a new gael be constructed.

As these evil spirits, cannot find entrance to the palace to call the Imperial Ruler's attention to this little oversight of his, they disturb the peace of bis father, not only causing him many painful days, but even seizing hold of 'his attendants and preventing them from assisting him.
