he was "oing to be shot, to stand strong and straight 0 up like a king, for there were a great many Fijimen looking at him. Ten soldiers were told off to fire at him. one out of the ten with blank cartridge. Only one shot took any effect, it knocked him in bis grave, but did not kill him. One of the volunteers standing by perhaps pitied H.R.H. in his fall and agony, so put a ball through bis head and hastened him to his happy hunting ground.

Financial Statement.

I The Colonial Trcasuror (Hon. J.Vogel) mi le I his Financial Statement last evening. The following is but a brief outline of it. The I Treasurer said he had pleasure in being able 'to comixanicate to Parliament information | which would prove that New Zealand had [ never been in a more prosperous condition than at present. The resr't of the financial I operations for 1871-2 proved to be within } £8 300 of what was estimated when he made I his statement last year. The new system introduced in connection with the Treasury j and Audit was workine exceedingly well. The Controller-General "and the Auditor- General were associated as Commissioners of j Audit, and there was really a pre-audit as to j all expenditure, in order that the accounts in the Treasury and those in the Audit Office might be made identical. He had /'-'s year taken into account not the actup'. receipts during the year, but only bo much a. was received at the Treasury at Wellington, up to the 30th of June. Hitherto the Trea sury accounts had been kept open after the end of the financial year, so that all receipts might be included. By the course now adopted £45,000 of the revenue received during 1872-3 wou'd not be included in the year's accounts. The Treasury were, for this year's purposes, losers to that amount, but such a thing would only happen this once, and the practical «am from the new system would be a great one. [ The present total indebtedness of .the colony , for colonial loans was £6,881,231 ; the in debtedness of fne provinces for provincial loans was £3,448,475. The colony was contingently liable for the latter, and it was no doubt open to those who desired to exaggerate the colonial, indebt edness to treat the contingent liability as one required to be met out of cplbmal revenue. But the provincial loans were primarily charged on provincial ordiuance revenues, including the land revenue ;. and there was no room to imticipaio any difficulty in recovering the amounts. Ino risks of the colony, as far as the provincial loans aro con cerned, could certainly bo undertaken for a comparatively small sum. From the colonial , liability of £0,881,201 had to be deducted £415 352 for sinking-fund a.emed, leav ing a net liability of £G,4G5,'J08. Tur ing tho past year thero were £43,u00 of Treasury bills on account of tho de ficit from 1869-70. This was the second instalment, and as it was proposed to pay off another £15,000 during the current year, the deficit would be made good without any addition being made to the permanent debt. It is proposed also to pay <IT £2000 of Treasury bills issuod on account of confiscated lands, thero wbv'd then remain a balance of £500,000 of Treasury bills outstanding. The3o the Government thought could bo paid off during a short term of years, and therefore it was proposed to renew them temporarily, instead of making them part of the per ma-ent debt of the colony. It was esti mated that several thousands pounds per year of. interest might be saved by: Litis course. One matter which he .con sidered of great importance to. the colony was the bold and determined attempt whicli had been made to reduce the rate of interest. All the colonies' had, in fact, gone in the eamo ! direction. New Zealand had issued certain; amounts of 4 per cent, debentures ; the price was fixed, at £90 10s. Of. tho parcel of £.50^000 offered in New Zealand, nearly the wholo had been taken up by tho Trust. Fund Commissioners. In Australia, about £150,000 of the new loan had been sold. The opera tions compared favourably with what had been done by other colonies, and especially by Queensland. That colony issued 4 pel cent, debentures at 86, and the result was really a splendid one, as compared with previous loans at higher rates of interest. After he had called for tenders for these four per cent, debentures in Australiu, he was glad to receive a telegram from the Loan Agents in London, pronouncing their recommendation that in future the late of interest should be made 4 or 4£, and that sinking or drawing funds should be aborished. The agentß expressed their preference for; a 4_- per cent, rate, they had now been in structed to use their discretion in tho matter ; but he (the Colonial Treasurer) had expressed his preference for 4 per cent, instead of __-, The confiscated land hud yielded well during the year, and had enabled a considerable amount advanced with reßpeot to them to bo paid off. Indeed, the receipts during the present month would discharge nearly the whole of the liabilities, excepting the £20,000 of Treasury bills, which would be paid off during the year. The receipts for the year 1872-3, exclusive of the £45,000, which, as already explained, had not been brought to account at the end of the year, sboWed a total of £1,119,402, being an excess ' of £43,402 over the estimates or £111,987 over, the receipts during :the 'year ' 1571:72. The Customs revenue showed an increase of £32,14 i over the estimates, and of £76,960 over the actual receipts of the previous year. After meeting, or pr6vidingfor all thel liabilities, of the,, year, there was a bf'ance of £3,835 left with whioh to commence the current year 1873-_« ' on,e of the most importantimatters to be subn "tted t) the committee was thequesl'on of pro vincial loans for pub.;o works. The Govern ment* were determined to recommend the Parliament to allow the provinces to borrow money for certain public works in a manner similar to that in which the Metropolitan Board oi; Works and certari other local hodiesi in England were permitted to borrow. { The proposr' would be tint f'le pvo\ luces should borrow or'yon specified securities, and ■ that it should be plainly provided that neither ! the colony nor the provinces concerned should be liable beyond the specified security giver. As far as those speci fied securities were concerned, however, the security of a lender would be absolu f ), and there would be a power of law L « enforce it. The works for which it wn proposed that prox incipl borrowing should bo allowed were roads, bridgos, harbour works, reclama tions, 'baildings for ' r iucationj and in some cases for charitable purposes, goldfi.lds works, and Hj-ht branch railways and tramways, The;pob'»yj Could not possibly execute tu6! main arterial works which it had iv charge,, if it was to be liable to borrow also for local works. That thoße works were much w_hted Was ib-no degr.e questioned, only it was saiid that provinces cpr^d better appreciate what' was. needed,^ and should be allowed to borrow for them. It was proposed that the specific securities to be allowed for the works mentioned should be in the shape of tolls and with the approval pi the inhabitants of any district interested, that special rates also be levied, Ju cases of r: rdamation security shall| be over the proceeds from the works, and as regarded buildings for educational or' cheritable purpose*, security'be over revenue from endowments.'; It was further' proposed that the Assembly should in some cnes rllow loams to be raised aga'nst sptecipl blocks of land, pnd that 15 per cent, of the whole of land'revenue be paid into provincial loan re count, and shoi^d afford srmrily for these works. The bill, which it wpt proposed to introduce into the Assembly, would stringently provide' Unit neither the ordinary revenue of ~he jprovihee conorned, not1 tho.e of ;*'.e, [Ifor remmrid*r' of Financial Statement, { fourth page ]
