CUSTOMS. Civil Secretary's Office, Wellington, Bth August, 1853. Sir, — lam directed by Governor Sir George Grey to communicate to your Honour the following financial arrangements, which have been provisionally and temporarily made by His Excellency, with the view of enabling the Provincial Government efficiently to perforin its duties until such time as the General Assembly shall have passed some enactment upon the subject. It appears to His Excellency, from the nearest estimate which can be made, with the means at his command, that the Revenue of the whole colony of the Islands of New Zealand, after the costs of collection and management have been defrayed, will for the present, amount to 62,000 Z. per annum, and that the charges upon account of the Civil List, or those imposed by Ordinances of the General Legislature; such, for instance, as the Interest upon Public Securities, the expenses of Savings Banks, the charges upon account of Education, &c., &c., &c., will amount to a sum of about 21,0001 per annum, or one-third of the net Revenue of the Colony. The Collector of Customs will therefore receive instructions, to make up his account to the close of each week, and then having first deducted the amount necessary to defray the expenses of that Department, to pay over two-thirds of the Balance remaining in his hands, to the Provincial Treasurer, or to the Provincial account at the Union Bank of Australia, and to remit the remaining third of such Balance to the Colonial Treasurer of New Zealand. This mode of adjustment, will not, in every instance, be perfectly accurate, as the Revenue of the Province will, from time to time vary ; as will also, the proportion which the Civil List, and the expenses of the General Government bear to the whole revenue of New Zealand, which may now be expected rapidly to increase; consequently the above arrangement cannot be considered as being final. When therefore, the accounts of the Revenue of each quarter reach the Treasurer of New Zealand, a final account will be made out, showing the gross Revenue of each Province, the charges on account of collection, the proportion of the Balance due to each Province during the quarter; any Balance which may then be found due to any Province, in addition to the two thirds of its Revenue already paid, will therefore be paid over to the Treasurer of the Province, or to the Provincial account at the Union Bank of Australia. In like if from the anticipated increase in the Revenue of the Colony, it should shortly be found that the proportion of the Revenue to which each Province is entitled, exceeds two-thirds of the Revenue collected therein, arrangements will immediately be made for altering the amount to be paid from two-thirds of such sum, as each Province may be found entitled to. I have the honour to be. Sir, Your Honour's most obedient, humble servant. (Signed) Alfred Domett, Civil Secretary His Honour the Superintendent, Province of Auckland,

CROWN LANDS. DISTRIBUTION OF LAND FUND. Civil Secretary's Office, Wellington, Bth August, 1853. Sib, — I am directed by Governor Sir George Grey to acquaint your Honour that, until further provision is made by the General Assembly, the Land Fund will be appropriated in the following manner:— One-fourth of the gross proceeds of land sold or let in the manner stated in the 74th clause of the New Zealand Constitution Act, will be retained for the benefit of the New Zealand Company. The remaining three-fourths of such gross proceeds, together with the proceeds arising from he Rents of Crown Lands, from the Fees on Crown Grants, &c., &c., &c., will be subject in the first place to deductions for the cost of the Land Department, Surveys, &c., as also for such proportion of the Land Fund as the Commissioners may be directed to deduct for the payments to the Aborigines for the purchase of their Lands After these deductions have been made, the balance remaining is to be divided into two equal parts one of which is to be retained by the Commissioner for Emigration purposes, while the other part will be paid over at the close of each month to the Provincial Treasurer or to the Provincial account at the Union Bank of Australia. The General Government will for the present apply the proportion of the Land Fund applicable to emigration purposes, in accordance with the terms of the Proclamation of the 4th of March 1853; but if the Provincial Council of the Province of Auckland would prefer having any alteration made in this arrangement, the Governor will be prepared to consider any representations which you may, in behalf of that body, make to His Excellency upon the subject. It must however, be understood that, if any portion of the Province is proclaimed a Hundred, nothing contained in the foregoing paragraphs will prevent the Governor, under the authority of the Royal Instructions of the 12th of August, 1850, from authorising the application of any proportion not exceeding one-third of the gross proceeds of the sales of Crown Lands within such Hundred, to such purposes as shall be signified to him by the Wardens of that Hundred, I have the honour to be, Sir, Your Honour's most obedient humble servant, (Signed) Alfred Domett, Civil Secretary, His Honour the Superintendent, Province of Auckland.

CROWN LANDS. INCREASE TO SURVEY DEPARTMENT. Civil Secretary's Office, Wellington, 12th August, 1853. Sir, — It has appeared to Governor Sir George Grey that it may often be for the interest of a particular Province, with a view to encourage the occupation of the Land, to undertake Surveys upon a larger scale than the receipts of the Land Fund would at the time justify the General Government in undertaking. In such cases the Provincial Council might feel disposed to make advances from the share of the General Revenue, which they are empowered to administer, for the purpose of increasing the Survey Staff, and expediting the Surveys, relying upon the probable increase of the Land Fund from such a measure for the reimbursement of the expenses incurred in carrying out this plan. The Commissioner of Crown.Lands has accordingly received instructions that if the Provincial Government should, at any time undertake to pay the additional expense of the Suvry establishment, if increased beyond the limit which His Excellency has authorised, the Establishment is to be immediately augmented to such an extent as your Honour may guarantee the expense of. All the costs of the angmeutation to the fixed Establishment must be paid directly by the Provincial Government and not by the Commissioner, even if the Land Fund should increase to such an extent as to enable the extra expense lo be defrayed from it, that officer is not to appropriate it to such a purpose until His Excellency's authority has been received, but must disburse the Fund in the proportions directed by the General Instructions on the subject. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your Honour's most obedient, humble servant, (Signed) Alfred Domett, Civil Secretary. ■His Honour the Superintendent Province of Auckland.

CROWN LANDS. RELATING TO THE APPROPRIATION OF PART OF THE LAND FUND TO EMIGRATION. Civil Secretary's Office, Wellington, 12th August, 1853. Sib, —in reference to the Circular Letter of the number and date quoted in the margin, on the subject of the appropriation of the Land Fund of the Province, I am directed by Governor Sir George Grey, to acquaint your Honour that care must be taken against guaranteeing the payment of half the passage money for assisted passages to such an extent as to incnr at any time a greater liability on this account than can be met by the funds applicable for that purpose at the date of entering into each of such engagements. The Commissioner of Crown Lands has received a communication to this effect, and has been further instructed that as soon as your Honour shall have notified to him that the Provincial Council have agreed to a Resolution to the effect that they are desirous of undertaking the management of that portion of the Land Fund, which, under the present instructions, is applicable to emigration purposes, it will be his duty to pay to the Provincial Treasurer the sum appropriated for those purposes, as well as that portion which is now applicable to Public Works. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your Honour's most obedient, humble servant, (Signed) Alfred Domett, Civil Secretary, His Honour the Superintendent Province of Auckland.

CROWN LANDS. NEW ZEALAND COMPANY'S DEBT AND NATIVE LAND PURCHASES. To the Commissioner of Crown Lands. Civil Secretary's Office, Wellington, Bth August, 1853. Sir, — Instead of paying into the Commissariat Chest the 4th of the proceeds of Land Sales charged by the New Zealand Constitution Act towards the liquidation of the debt due to the New Zealand Company, you will have the goodness to pay such amount into the General Treasury, &c., &c., &c. You will further hare the goodness to pay one fifteenth part of the proceeds of the Bales of any lands purchased from the aborigines previously to this date into the General Treasury, in order that such amounts may be devoted to objects for the benefit of the native race, in accordance with agreements entered into with the owners at the time of the purchase of those lands, I have, &c., (Signed) Alkbed Domett, Civil Secretary.

Colonial Secretary's Office, Auckland, 24th December, 1853. Sib,— , . . I have the honour to forward, enclosed for your information, a copy of certain m■tructionsrespecting advances of money made to the Commissioner of Crown Lands for the purchase of lends, which, by direction of His Excellency the Governor, have been issued to that Officer. I have, &c., (Signed) Andrew Sinclair, Colonial Secretary. His Honour the Superintendent New Plymouth. MEMORANDUM.

A separata Land Purchase Deposit account will be open for the Province. Moneys issued from the Colonial Treasury for the purchase of lands are to be r; paid from th» Provincial Deposit account. If the advances are issued from the Land Fund Deposit account of other Provinces, you will be required, after defraying the first charges on the Land Fund, to remit the monthly balance of the proceeds of Land £'aies to the Colonial Treasury at Auckland, or Sub-Treasury at Wellington, as the case may be, until the whole of the advance from the Land Purchased eposits of the other Provinces has been repaid, making, in the interim, no payments to tae Provincial Treasury, nor making any apportionment either on account of the Province, or Immigration,

POST OFFICE? Extract from letter of Civil Secretary to Postmaster General (l(sth August, 1853,) communicated in a circular to the Superintendents, dated 12th September, 1853. All expenses in the Post Office Department which are now authorised may he continued for the present, under the authority of the Postmaster General. The Postmaster General will decide the proportion of the receipts of the Provincial Departments of the Post Offices, which is to be deducted therefrom, and transmitted to him for defraying the general expenses of the After the expenses of each Central Provincial Office, and the proportion of the general expenses to be paid in the manner above stated, have been deducted from the receipts of the Officers, the balance remaining is to be paid over to the Provincial Treasurer at the end of each month. Any »urplus which may remain in the hands of the Postmaster General at the end of every quarter, will be transmitted by him to the Treasurers of the respective Provinces, in the same proportions in which the gross eds of the Post Office revenue shall have arisen therein respectively. If the Post Office Revenue in any month does not suffice for the payment of the current expenses during that month, the Postmaster General will draw upon the Colonial Treasurer for the amount required to cover the deficiency, and will at the same time forward to the Colonial Secretary full explanation as to the manner in which the deficiency has arisen. And the amount so drawn must be recovered from future Post Office receipts of the Province or Provinces in the proportion in which the deficiency may have ferisen. All sums thus recovered must be remitted to tiie Colonial Treasurer. \ The Postmaster General is authorised to correspond direct with the Superintendent ot any Province upon all subjects connected with the postal arrangements of that Province. If that portion of the revenue derived from any Provincial Post Office which, under these arrangements is to be paid to the Provincial Treasurer, exceeds the expenses of the Department, the Postmaster General is authorised, in concert with the Superintendent of the Province, to extend its postal communications to such an extent and in such manner as the revenue will bear, or to any greater extent, for which the Provincial Council will vote the necessary funds. This regulation will not, how- ver, prevent the Postmaster General from establishing, under the authority of the General Government, any lines of postal communication of apparent utility to two or more Provinces. All existing orders or regulations relating to the Post Office department will, for the present remain in force. (Signed) A. Domett, Civil Secretary,

SUPREME COURT. EXPENSE OF PROSECUTIONS AND ALLOWANCE TO WITNESSES. Civil Secretary's Office, Wellington, 27th August, 1863. Sir, — I am directed by his Excellency the Governor to inform your Honour of the following arrangements made with respect to some particulars in the proceedings of the Supreme Court of this Colony in their relation to the several Provincial Governments which the late changes have rendered necessary. The expense of criminal prosecutions will in future be borne by the Province. A general scale of costs to be allowed for prosecutions will it is presumed, be established by the Provincial Council, as was done by the General Government in a notice in the Gazette of the 3rd March, 1845. But this scale should be submitted to his Honour the Chief Justice for approval. The Law Officer conducting the criminal prosecution will also be paid by tho Province. The amount of allowances for witnesses has already been regulated by the Supreme Court in the Rules attached to the Supremo Courts' Ordinance, Session 4, No. 1. But the funds for this purpose will be provided by the Government of the Province in which the offence under prosecution was committed. On the subject of the custody of the funds arising out of the official administration of Intestate Estates, or otherwise under the control and direction of the Supreme Court, I shall have the honour of addressing you in a separate communication. I have, &c., (Signed) Alfred Domett, Civil Secretary, His Honour the Snperintendent, Province of Auckland,

EXTRACT FROM LORD JOHN RUSSELL'S DESPATCH TO GOVERNOR HOBSON, DATED 20th JANUARY, 1854. As often as any sale shall hereafter be effected in the colony of lands acquired by purchase from the aborigines, there must be carried to the credit of the department of the protector of aborigines a sum amounting to not less than 15, nor more than 20 petcent. in the purchase-money, which sum will constitute a fund for defraying the charge of the protector's establishment, and for defraying all other charges which, on the recommendation of the protector, the Governor and Executive Council may have authorised for promoting the health, civilization, education, and spiritual care of the natives. Such sums, when not immmediately required, must be invested in the best securities which can be obtained in New Zealand or in New South Wales in the name of the governor. If at any future time the fnnd shall be found to exceed every reasonable demand for this service, any ulterior augmentation of it may be suspended, until the want of additional funds for these purposes shall become apparent, oi shall be reasonably anticipated. But generally speaking, the proceeds will be probably expended within tho year,
