Governine t, which h d upd. make!' to complete it. and
it was then estimat..d that 12.0001 would b required to
complete the base ; 8,0001. had been already voted ;
2.000/. was asked from the House now, and he thought
that 2,000/. more would cover the rest of the expenses.
Mr. P. BORTHWICK thought that this country was
v..ry unfortunate in its publx monuments. He com-
p,ained of the present one on the ground that it was
entirely out of proportion.
The vote was then agrued to.
The sun. of 4 0541. was th«,n voted to defray thechargea
of the civil establishment at the Bermudas.
The vote was th(n agri.ect to.
As was alspi a vote for the sum of 3,070/. for the like
purpose at Prince Edward's Island.
A sum of 4001. was also vot.-d to defray the charges of
the civil establishments at Sable Island.
The following votes were also agreed to :
The sum of 13.680/. for the civil establishments on the
Western Coast of Africa.
11.5001. for the charges of the coal establishment at
St. Helena.

7.212 L for the charges of the establishment of Western
Australia.

A sum of 1.2401. was also voted to defray the charges
of the settlemei I at Port Essington.
The sum of 5.500/. was next proposed in order to de-
fray 'h. charges of the civil establishments at the Falk-
land Islands.

Att-r a few words from Mr. Hume, Dr. Buwring, and
Mr. Hawes, this vote was also agreed to.
The sum of 36 000/ was then proposed to defray the
charges of the civil estabnzhment of New Zealand.

Mr. HUME objected to the votes, on the ground that
the island hiving now a government of its own, it ought
to bear its own expenses.
Mr. HAWES said that the Act had not yet come into
force which gave a local government to that country.
After a tew words from Dr. BOWRING and Lord Is-
GESTRIE,

The vote was agreed tn.
10,0231. was next agre.d to for the Helignland Islands;
as also 18.394/. for the West Indian colonies ; 11,578/.
for the E -clesiastical expenses of the British North
.kmtric3n colonies ; and 15,000/. for the Indian depart-
ment of Canada.

23,815/. was next proposed to defray the expenses of
.he C 4 lonial Land Emigration Board.
Mr. V. SMITH complained that a gentleman who had
formerly been assintant-secretary to the board, had been
appointed one of the Commissioners, at a salary of 1,0001.
a year. The sx,lanation to the vote was this—that
?here were or;ginally three salaried Commissioners, and
that the increase of business had rendered the appoint-
ment of a third Commissioner necessary. This, bow-
vver. was not the case, as ti 0 of the gentlemen who 1;31
tott-d as Commis-inners held other offices, and were not
paid exclusively for their duties as commissioners. He
thought but two commissioners were 1.. cltir‘d.
Mr. HAWES said it was essential that there should
be three commissioners in order that disputes might
.ettlA which two could not well deal with, and Mr
R'gers, the gentleman appointed, having had consider-
able PXpetience, was thought a proper person to appoint,
' and he was accordingly nominated.
Mr. HUME said that this was a palpable attempt to
magnit) the labours of the commissioners. They (lid
not in any degree assist the emigration of the persons
who departed this country, for they emigrated to thu
colonies unaided and unassisted. He thought with his
Fin. Friend that a toes of 1,0001. was incurred to
the country by the appointment of the third commis-
sioner.

Mr HAWES considered that as additional labour
was imposed, there should be an additional commis

Mr. BORTHWICK thought that question should
rec,•ive consideration from a full House.

The vote was agt,:ed to.
On the vote for the estimate of 15,790/. for defraying
'he expenses of the functionaries employed in the cote-

ides,
Sir GEO. CLERK made a few observations which
were inaudible,
Mr. HUME said that this qu.stion certainly required
,oine consideration.
Mr. WILLIAMS said he would press the House to
s division on this vote.
After some conversation it was agreed that Mr. Green
should report progress.
The House then resumed, and the report was ordered
to be brought up on Monday next.
The NeWfouodland Government Bill, and the Borough
Police (Scotland) Bill. were read a second time.
The House then adj- urn. .d at One o'clock.
