Circular.] Treasury, Auckland,
4th September, 1858.
Sir,—I have the honor to inform you that in consequence of the necessity of making provision during the current year for Military Services, the General Government has been compelled to relinquish for the present its intention of increasing the rate of the advances to the Provinces on account of the surplus Revenues of the year ending 30th June, 1859.

These advances will therefore for the present be continued at the same rate as during the past financial year, namely three-eighths of the gross Customs receipts in the several Provinces.

I have, &c.,
C. W. RICHMOND.
His Honor the Superintendent,
New Plymouth.
