interest from July last, and to be redeemable within thirty-five years. This issue is the first portion of a
loan of £Bll,OOO authorised to be raised for railway
Purposes last year. The 13onded Debt of South Aus-
tralia, including the £400,000 now issued, will
amount to £1,568,000, and is secured on the general
revenue of the colony, which was as follows, accord-
ing to the latest Government official statistics in the
A;mt-General's possession :--1862, £548,709 ; 1863,
£631,700 ; 1864, £775,837 ; 1865, £1,089,128 ;
