tho Consolidated F"nd, including revenue assets of the year, showed an increase of £233,276. TIIK LAKD KUSD. The receipts from tho Land Fund during the year (exclusive of gold duty) were £1,039,242, 0r'£419,000 more than the average for the pre ceding seven yn.vs. Since the Ist .January, saitl the Colonial Treasurer, when the Financial Arrangements Act came into force, the receipts . have been £511,154. The estimate was £322,610, so that the estimate was exceeded by £221,884, but although there is a very large increase, on the whole the deficiency is larger than was pro vided for by the Financial Arrangements Act. The sales in Canterbury show an enormous excess, while those iv Auckland, Taranaki, Hawke's Bay. Nelson, and Otago, have proved to be less by £83,000 than the sum estimated. In consequence of this the whole of the Treasury Bills authorised under the Financial Arrange ments Act, amounting to £150,000. have been issued, and an additional sum of £53.005 has had to be advanced from the Consolidated Fund in aid of f,he Land Fund.

POST-OFFICE SAVINGS' HANKS, ETC

The business done by tho Post-office Savings' Banks had teen satisfactory, and the deposits remaining on June 30th were £720,000, and the year's transactions in the Annuities and Assur ance department had been most satisfactory, and reflected great credit upon all connected with the department. It was intended to bring in a Bill to establish aboard of management, in stead of leaving the direction in the hands of a Commissioner.

EXPENDITURE,

The proposed total expenditure for the year 1377-7S was £3,109,751.' The cast of most of the departments had been reduced through amalgamation and simplifying, though the work hai in many cases nearly doubled. He regretted that more had not been done in this direction, owing to want of time, inconsequence of the enormous amount of work which had fallen upon the Government through constitu tional changes it had been their business to in augurate during the recess.

SUBSIDIES,

Under the head of "public debts" £30,000 was included for hospitals and charitable aid. I his was meant to provide the subsidies which would probably be payable under the Charitable Institutions Act. Authority would be askeo. to deduct from the subsidies of the different Counties, Boroughs, and Road Boards a suttl cient sum to maintain Hospitals, and tor charitable aid, in districts which declined to adopt the Act, or in which it proved insufficient. MILITIA, VOLUNTEERS, AXD CONSTABULARY. \ lar^e increase amounting to £10,989 had been found necessary in the vote for JUilitia and Volunteers, but it was chiefly on account of stores and ammunition, and capitation for the increased number of Volunteers. The saving aifected by the amalgamation of the Police and Armed Constabulary was equal to £33,000 a year.

WAYS AND MEANS FOR THE CURRENT YEAR.

Referring next to ways and means for the current year, the Colonial Treasurer said : As I have just shown, wo have, to provide for an aggregate expenditure of £3,109,751 12s 9(1 for the year. Of this £2,394.546 12s 9d is charge able on the consolidated fund, on tht gold re venue, £72,000, and £613,208 upon the land fund, being such charges only as each fund should support. Now, if all the charges placed upon the land fund of each district could be re covered, the consolidated fund would be in a position to bear its legitimate burdens! without difficulty. As a matter of fact, however, I do not think that more than £560,030 of that sum will be practically recoverable.

THE LAND FUND,

The Land Fund in certain districts being insufficient to meet its liabilities, it will therefore be necessary either to supplement the consolidated revenue or to relieve it of some of the charges I have proposed it shall bear. He dismissed as undesirable the plan of charging such services as police and education upon the land fund of! districts able to bear them. They properly belonged to the_ Con solidated fund. But to meet unavoidable expenditure it would be necessary to help the consolidated revenue. After discussing the advisability of a property and income tax. he concluded that the present time was inopportune for dealing with such a subiect. When our trunk railways are approaching com pletion, when we have time to consolidate and settle ..down, and are able to better niind our real requirements, than the whole incidence of taxation must be considered; but to deal with it now, in a fragmentary way, would be a s°rious mistake. He ventured' to hope that the income from railways, and the improved value of colonial securities under our inscribed stock, would enable the colony to avoid additional taxation altogether. He agreed with the prin ciple that the land fund should be localised. The meaning, sir, which he attached to the term localisation was that the money received for the sale of the Crown lands within a defined district should be spent in opening up and peopling that district. Most honourable mem bers will go with me so far : that the proceeds of the land should bo applied to Hie land, that those who pay the most should receive the greatest facilities for occupation, and that to treat Land Fund as ordinary re venue is thoroughly bad in principle. But the consolidated fund had paid £'j55,139 on account of charges which properly belonged to land fund. ITe'rccognised that at the present moment the refund oi these charges is beyond the immediate power of the less wealthy dis tricts, but, as respects the Provincial Districts of Canterbury and Otago no such argument can be used, and we propose to charge the Land Fund of Canterbury with a sum of £SS,C'JO. and that of Otago with it sum of £109,000, being in each case one moiety of the amount by whi:;h the Land Fund of those districts has been aided. With the exception of a small debt, the charge of 2 per cent for railways, the subsidies payable to Counties and Road Boards, ruid the cost oi' survey and administration, tl.c land revenue of Canterbury is absolutely free, and, in view of the fact that a sum of £250.000 of the surplus Land Pund has been distributed within the dis trict during the past six months, and that a further sum of £! 03,003 is now ready for d istribu tion, we propose to deduct her contribution from the sum in hand. The case of Otago is somewhat different. The district has a very large estate, but it id burdened now with leases just expiring, and which it would be a waste of public money to cancel. We propose, therefore, to raiss the amount required to meet its contribu tion, together with (iie sum of £36,031) advanced last year in aid of the; district, kind fund, treat ing the debt its a nrovi.'ieial liability, and making the interest and sinking fund a permanent charge upon its future land fund. The whole land fund of the Otago district for the year will then be free, excepting only the 2 per cent under the Financial Arrangement Act, the interest on its provincial debentures, the cost of surveys, and land administration. The iclief to the Land Fund under the proposals of the Government is very considerable.

Tllfi REVENUE. The estimated total revenue of the colony for 1577-7S was £3,3D2,G35. This total comprised £2,263,10!) of Consolidated Revenue, 316/,000 of refunds from Canterbury and Otago land funds, £72,000 goldfields' revenue and gold duty, and £390,525 from land sales, licenses, rents, &c. The Customs' revenue was put down at the amount yielded last year, and on other items there was a slight increase. Railway receipts were estimated at £GOi,ICO, and the year's profit on the work done by the railways was set down, after very careful consideration, at £170,000. Adding to the estimated revenue the surplus with which the yeai- was begun. £113,220, there would bo a total of £3,510,005. Deducting then the total estimated ospf-nditurc there appeared a surplus of £131,150. Of that sum, £32(J.o0!) was distributable among the Counties as surplus Land Fund, and there would remain a balance of £101,781 available to meet possible dciiciencics of the Land Fund in certain districts.

EXPENDITUBE OS PUBLIC WORKS. The total proposed expenditure for the year on public works would be £1,796,151. Immigra tion services were estimated to require £121,182, and there were provincial liabilities to be met, amounting to £25:),5M. These sums made ;.i total of £2,ISO,IS'J, and after allowing for the balance to credit of the Public Works' account. £1,200,000 would remain, for which ways and means would have to be provided.

ANOTHER LOAX

It thes i proposals were approved, authority to raise, a loan of £2,300.000 would have to be asked for. The Government could not recom mend that any of the works which would be included in the i'ubiic Works Statement should be delayed, but. if the House should resolve to reduce the expenditure upon public works by, say, one-half," then the agreement with the Bank of New Zealand would probably a^oid the necessity for going- upon the London market for another 18 months, and next session a com plete scheme of works could no doubt be sub mitted. JJut this, he repeated, was a course which the Government could not recommend the House to adopt.

FJEROKATTOX. The Colonial Treasurer in his peroration ex plained why the Government thought it most desirable the country should have time and rest for the complete development of the Public Works system, and should not at present be troubled by proposals i'ui- increased taxation, or by questions oi' Constitutional changes, or the incidence of existing taxes. The proposals of the Government would secure this state of things, and lie asked for them early and most careful consideration. The House adjourned about 20 minutes after 9 o'clock. ___________

THE DUNEDIN FOOTBALL MATCH.

The arrival of the Dunedin Football Team is likely to take place nearl.y a fortnight earlier than expected. We were given' to understand that the team would not leave Duuedin until about the middle of this month, which would have brought them here about the 25th, but it now seems that an earlier departure has been arranged. The following arrived among last nighth press agency telegrams: —"Mr Carroll, secretary to "the Dunedin Football Club, lias written a circular to the Northern clubs, intimating that as the team that will leave here on Sunday, the sth proximo, will be a Dunediu, anil in no sense a provincial team, they expect to meet local fifteens in each place. The team will arrive in Cluistchurch on the 6th, and play on the Sth ; arrive at Auckland on the 13th, and play on the 15th ; play at Nelson on the 20th ; and play in Wellington about 25th ; Temnka on '27th, and Timaru on 2Sth." From this it is evident that unless our men

bustle themselves during the interval be tween this and the 13th, they will be caught only half prepared. The Selection Committee should lose no time in deciding upon the Auckland players, and when the team is settled, continual practice should be the order of the day. We understand it has been arranged that the match shall take place on the Ellerslic race-course ground. Mr H. Keane has obtained the contract for supplying the refreshments on the ground, and also for providing a dinner for the two teams.

WASTE LANDS BOARD.

At a meeting of the Waste Lands Board' yes terday plan-* and schedules were laid before the Board of certain confiscated lands. Mr Tole then read the letter, and submitted the docu ments. The total area of land composed 01,600 acres, SOOO of which were surveyed. After some discussion, it was resolved that the Govern ment be requested to pla ;& the land under the administration of the Board.—The Chairman said the amended terms on which the Board had decided to make an additional grant of land to Mr George Vesey Stewart, had been ap proved by the Governor. A letter had also come to hand instructing the Board to deal with the land under the special clauses of the Waste Lands' A ct of 1874. fiThe Board thereupon passed the necessary resolutions in relation to the land. Five Tenders had been received for the right to dig for gum iv the dis tricts of Tairua and Ohinenmri. —Mr Tonks considered the sums offered as ridi culous, and moved that the tenders bo not accepted, which was carried. The report of Mr Campbell, surveyor, was read in relation to Urawhao Block, stating that a portion was good, and a portion swampy, but which could be remedied by draining. Mr Percy Smith confirmed this opinion. The Board resolved, " That the land should be offered for sale in lots of 300 acres each: that a voad should be laid out throughout the block, and provision made for drainage by two cross roads,"

Thames Settlement Association. — A com munication was read from Mr Davis, Chairman of this Association, respecting a number of suitable blocks of land, for which a previous application had been made. As the Hoard could not deal with the matter at present, the Chairman was desired to write to Air Davis, ex plaining the circumstances. SUNDRY Matters. —The remaining business consisted in reading letters from Mr Balk, of Monyonui. respecting- compensation in land; Messrs Waller and Co., asking that land at Muddy Creek might be put up for sale, which was granted ; a^d respecting the dangerous state of Mount JKden gravel pit. With respect to the latter, the Board resolved that endeavours Should be made by prison labour to put it in a safe condition. It was also resolved that the Governor be desired to reserve Mount Hobson as an ornamental pleasure ground.

CATTLE ON RAILWAY-LINE.

IX the case of Police v. Grant heard at Papakura on Monday, defendant asked the Bench to amend the information, that it might specifiy in precise terms what con stituted the offence. His Worship .having agreed to this, the information set forth that Public Works Act, 1876', had been violated by defendant "allowing certain cattle to wander on a part of the railway which railway is fenced on both sides" Lyons, ganger on the line, proved that the cattle were on a part of the railway at Pukekohe where there was a thorough good fence on both sides, which no one could object to just where he saw them. Cross < : imined : He did not know whether i -.'endant owned land that was not fenced

; •.■ig s the line. i. Ie by his

Supposed that the crossing gang fer defendant

v. -.a where defendant's land was. 'i he line was not fenced there on either side. Defendant's cattle could get from the land there, along the middle of the line, to where he found them. Did not know whether the cattle would prefer going on the scoria, or on tlie grass alongside. Mr Crosbie gave similar evidence, to the effect that there was a good fence on both sides where the cattle wera found, but that the line was so fenced through only part of de fendant's land. It answer to defendant, witness stated that there was nothing to hinder cattle from wandering along the line, from where it was not fenced to where the eight cattle were reported as tresspassing. This being all the evidence for prosecution, His Worship said the case had fallen through. Sub-InspectorPardy,for the police, said he felt obliged to concur in the decision that there was no case. Mr Grant applied for costs. "Certainly the polico shall not pay costs," said His Worship.—CORRES PONDENT.

CHRISTCHUECir, this day.

Messrs Lightyand, Allen, and Co., write to the " Times," this morning, denying that they locked out their hands with the view of affecting a reduction in wages. They also say that having had four years experi encc of their "Trade Union," we have found not the slightest disposition on the part of the men to fall in with any idea whatever that mean change in the system of work even when such change did not affect their interest in the smallest degree. We recently imported English find American machinery, and a few weeks ago put on two or three hands on weekly wages, with the idea of ascertaining its capacities, and intended eventually to fix the price for piece work in connection with the machin ery. We don't at all object to the piece work system. The " (Jnion " drove those men off the premises under "threats," and from that time we thoroughly made up our minds not to recognise their " society " any longer. The letter further says it was intended to adopt a system by which the men could earn better wages than else where, and that men were not locked out for a fortnight, but, so far as the old mode of working was concerned, for ever. The Acclimatisation Society has sent to San Francisco for prairie hens. An application from Melbourne for song birds was refused by the Society.

Councillor Goldie proposed and Council lor Brett seconded, that the letter be received.

His Worship thought the matter should be held in abeyance until Mr Machattie's rent shall be due on the sth, but if the rent was not forthcoming, the Council might deal with it.
