My Loeds, —I beg leave to report to your Lordships that, in accordance with your directions, I have inspected the accounts of the Canterbury. Settlement for the year ending 13th of November last, and I enclose the Balance-sheet of the Association for that period. The sums expended in the Colony, as mentioned in my last year's Report, have not yet been brought into account; but all the money received from Land Sales has been appropriated to the proper Funds, in accordance with the Charter; and I have met with nothing calling for your Lordships' interference. I have the honour to be, my Lords, % Your lordships' obedient Servant, (Signed) Hensleigh Wedgwood. HORTICULTURAL EXHIBITION.
