He referred to the financial position of the railway and what was being done to facilitate its completion, and, expressed the hope that he would soon be able to inspect the works beyond the tunnel.

The Bill was read a first time. The text of the Bill reads:

The way in which that de- crease was made up was, as regarded the main items, as follows: We lost on the oplum revenue owing to the fact that, for January aud February, the receipts for last year were from (the original Farin and not from the new, which meant a reduction of about 58,000. The Post Office accounted for a loss of $:03,000, due chiefly to the enactments of the recent Convention at Rome, which increased the aimount that could be carried at the then * Draft Estima es of Revenue and Expendi-equivalent rate of postage, while the Siberian ture for the year 19 8.

The Colonial Secretary laid on the table Financial Mioules os. 6 to 4. It was agreed that they be referred to the Finance Commitee.

On the motion of the Director of Public Warks, seconded by the Colani 1-Secretary, the report of the Public Works Commitee (No.1) was adopted.

At the same time, it was proposed to make the new slaughter house more than twice the size of the present one and to add separate sheds for this secon modation of 400 swine and 200 sheep or goals, for which no special provision existed in the present depo. The shed for 'daule, would accommodate 125 bend; being of the sense di mensions as the existing ca'ile shed, which was, however, u lized to a considerable extent for the housing of swine, &.

Moreover, there was no work of sufficient per manent urgency as to demand fresh taxation. With regard to new taxation he had not been sufficiently long in the country to express an opinion on that poit, but it would be his duty before rising to move the Estimates next year to make himself tboroughly satisfied that the Estimates lind, been rightly framed on the basis of existing taxation. It was certainly not A convenient moment to introduce additional Lixation when the Colony had been suffering from a wave of depression as the result of the disastrous Typlison of last year and the decreased issuing of subsidiary coins was an optimist in "these matters and believed that the present depression would vanish ver shortly. Turning to the revenue estimated, the decreases of list year, this year and the prospective decrease of next year ap- peared to show that the sources of revenue were somewhat precarious. In the matter of opium, which formed a very important item of revenue, the new Farm had been decreased by $500,000 as compared with the former. The revenue of $150,000 from subsidiary coins was changed into an expenditure of $36,000 far the demoneti. sition of surplus coins. The Post Office, which in most parts of the world, was aremunerative source of revenue barely- paid its way and thire was also the cust.of the agencies which were supported at the realy ports.
