At the Government House, at Wellington, this

Present:
HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR IN COUNCIL.
WHEREAS by "The Public Revenues Act, 1868,"
it is enacted that it shall be lawful for the

Governor in Council from time to time to alter or
rescind any regulations made under the authority of
"The Public Revenues Act, 1867," or of "The
Public Revenues Act, 1868," and to make other
regulations not inconsistent with "The Public Reve-
nues Act, 1867," in the place thereof, and that all

1868, make and order certain regulations, the second
section of the fourth of which regulations is as
follows:-"Every Receiver whose office is in a place
where there is no branch of a Bank, and who shall
not be authorized to retain fees received by him by
way of salary, shall transmit his collections to the
Bank at Wellington, by Post Office Order or by
Registered Letter, upon the last day of each month,
with forms of Bank Receipt prepared in duplicate,
and the Bank will transmit one copy of the duplicate
Bank Receipt to the Receiver by return of post, and

Now, therefore, His Excellency Sir George Fergu-
son Bowen, the Governor of New Zealand, in pur-
suance and in exercise of the powers and authorities
for that purpose vested in him, doth hereby, with the
advice and consent aforesaid, make and ordain that
the said fourth regulation shall be amended by
inserting after the word "salary" the words "shall
when so directed in writing by the Colonial Treasurer,
transmit his collections to the nearest branch of the
Bank, or if not so directed," so that the said clause
when amended shall read thus:-"Every Receiver
whose office is in a place where there is no branch of
a Bank, and who shall not be authorized to retain
fees received by him by way of salary, shall, when so
directed in writing by the Colonial Treasurer, trans-
mit his collections to the nearest branch of the Bank,
or if not so directed, shall transmit his collections to
the Bank at Wellington, by Post Office Order, or by
Registered Letter, upon the last day of each month,
with forms of Bank Receipt prepared in duplicate,
and the Bank will transmit one copy of the duplicate

THE following Letter from Commodore Rowley
Lambert, C.B., on Mr. Woods' Survey of the
New Zealand Coasts, is published for general infor-
mation.

E. W. STAFFORD.

H.M.S. "Challenger,"
at Wellington, 22nd February, 1869.
SIR,-With reference to your Excellency's letter of
the 11th instant, and my reply thereto, I have the
honor to acquaint you that I have seen Mr. Woods,
examined his surveys and plans of the New Zealand
Coasts, and compared the same with the Admiralty
Charts.

The survey is projected on reliable data, and
appears to have been executed with great care and
accuracy; and the sketches of the different headlands
in water colours render them more distinguishable
than in the pen and ink etchings usually marked on
the Charts.
