The remainder of the revenue of Lower Canada has been expended agreeably to the votes of the legislature, in forming and repairing roads, erecting bridges, light-houses, improving the internal navigation, supporting schools, hospitals, and various institutions; on roads alone, about 40,000l.

There is no distribution of the revenue for 1833, in consequence of the Legislative Council not agreeing to the subsidy bill passed by the House of Assembly.

The expenditure of the revenue of Upper Canada is very unsatisfactorily known. The following scale, as far as it goes, is considered correct, with the addition

There are a great number of others who receive salaries and allowances from the colonial revenue of Upper Canada. The amount of pensions is 5,8411. The following items are paid from the Imperial treasury, in addition to the foregoing, viz. :

The money expended in roads, bridges, schools, light-houses, advanced for canals, and public improvements amounts to about 80,000l. per annum, exclusive of money borrowed on the credit of the provincial revenue.

Upper Canada pays higher for its civil administration than any other part of America.

England is not required to pay one shilling toward its support, as the province is able to bear all the expenses, provided the legislature have the distribution of the revenue.

The revenue of Nova Scotia is expended in paying the expenses of the civil government, and in public works, education, &c.

The revenue of New Brunswick is distributed

much in the same manner as that of Nova Scotia.

The other salaries I have not been able accurately to ascertain. The whole annual civil establishment is stated to be 60,884l.; but the amount must, I think, be above this.

In page 12. of this volume, in stating the amount of quit-rents on lands granted, I have omitted the quantity of those lands escheated, which reduces the amount nearly one half.

The revenue of Prince Edward Island is expended in public works, administration of justice, and miscellaneous outlays. The amount, expended as follows, is still paid by the Imperial government, viz.:
