JAMES B. HEYWOOD, Secretary to the Treasury. ROBERT J. COLLINS, Assistant Secretary and Aocountant, The foregoing accounts have been examined and found correct, subjeot to the following remarks: — (1.) The " Customs," " Railways," and " Territorial Revenue " receipts are not now examined by the Audit Office. (2.) The Audit Office is unable satisfactorily to verify the reoeipts of gold revenue through the failure of the Mines Department to comply with a requisition for a certified statement of the amounts collectible as such revenue. (3.) The " advances in the hands of officers of the Government " include payments to the amount of £12,751 ss. 4d., though the accounts of the same were received at the Treasury before the close of the year.
