† In the account of Revenue and Expenditure for the Quarter ending 31st March, published in the “Gazette” of the 31st May last, an unavailable balance of £3 0s. 10d. was erroneously carried to account as part of the available balance at Akaroa on the 31st December, 1853. The available balance on the 31st March should therefore have stood thus:

At Lyttelton ... £1695 2 8
At Akaroa ... 97 6 9
Total ... £1792 9 5

H. G. GOULAND, Provincial Auditor.
