THE FUNDS-(THIS DAY).

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK
Hobart Town Papers to the 3d of October have been re-
ceived at the North and South American Coffee-house. The
following are extracts :
~ Although the weather has been most favourable to the
prospects of the farmer around Hobart Town, all along the
country under the western tier, and on the northern side of

theisland, there are many parts—as at Pittwater and others--
which have as yet bad but a very partial supply of rain. 011
the whole, however, the season, though perhaps two or three
weeks later than usual, is highly propitious.
" We learn with pleasure that the Lieutenant-Governor, iu
a minute laid before the Legislative Council, signifies his in-
tention to acquiesce in the clause of the propos ed Insolvent
Debtors' Bill, extending the jurisdiction of the Court of Re-
quests to all cases of debt not exceeding 301."
SWAN Rivta.—We have received the .Perth Gazette to the
4th of July. The David Ogilvy had arrived from London.
The contracts for the supply of thr.', Commissariat with flour
were taken at from 40 to 42 potmds per ton--retail price,
51d. per lb. The revenue of Ziwan River for the quarter
ending June 30 was 9981. Is. 11d. ; the expenditure 1,2041

on the Hay River.
The Hobart Town Gazette of the 17th September gives the
following Minute of his Excellency the Lieutenant Governor
to the Legislative Council :
" Gentlemen—ln laying before you the estimates for 1836,
I am desirous of explaining that their consideration in Council,
has been deferred till the latest possible period, in the hope 01
receiving an intimation of his Majesty's Government, in refe-
rence to the ordinances of appropriation for the years 1933
1834. In the absence of this very important information for
my guidance,
_ I have felt that in the preparation of the esti-
mates for the ensuing year, I have acted under accumulated
responsibility." _

This document then proceeds to show that the estimated re-
venue for 1834 was exceeded by the actual collection*
which are annually inrceasing. The estimated revving)
for that year, exclusive of land revenue, was 80,F.3351.9
but the actual collections were 86,7621. Bs. 2d. Tb°
