SIR,—I have the honour to inform you that, at a poll taken on the 2nd instant, upon a proposal for a special loan of £5,000 for the City of Nelson, as published in the Evening Mail of the 9th May, 1885, the number of votes recorded for and against the proposal was as follows:—

As the number of votes given for the proposal (584) exceeds one-half of the total number of burgesses (492), I have declared the resolution in favour of the proposal carried; and I now forward this notice for publication in the New Zealand Gazette, pursuant to section 145 of "The Municipal Corporations Act, 1876."

Despatch.—Altering Boundaries of Chinese and Australian Naval Stations.

Colonial Secretary's Office,
Wellington, 9th June, 1885.

THE following despatch from Her Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for the Colonies is published for general information.

P. A. BUCKLEY.

Downing Street,
11th April, 1885.

(New Zealand, No. 16.)

SIR,—I have the honour to acquaint you, for the information of your Government, that the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty have proposed to so revise the boundary of the Chinese Station as to draw the limit south of the Pelew Islands, St. Andrew's, and the adjacent islands, and thus transfer them from the limits of the Australian Station. This step would be taken with a view to facilitating more frequent visits to these islands by vessels of war, as they can be more readily visited from time to time from ships stationed in the China Seas.

I have acquainted their Lordships that I concur in the course proposed, and the Commanders-in-Chief on the China and Australian Stations have accordingly been informed that the change will take place from the 1st July next.

From that date the north boundary of the Australian Station and the south boundary of the China Station will be as follows:—

From 95° E. longitude by the parallel of 10° S. latitude to 130° E. longitude; thence North to 2° N. latitude, and along that parallel to 136° E. longitude; thence North to 120° N. latitude, and along that parallel to 160° W. longitude.

I have, &c.,
DERBY.
Governor Sir W. F. D. Jervois, G.C.M.G., C.B., &c.
