N. B. — The Accounts of the Receipt and Expenditure of the Grants of Parliament, and of the 

 Bridgewater and Farnborough Funds, in the Financial Year ending on the 31st March 1852, will 

 be prepared and submitted to Parliament immediately after the expiration of the Year to which 

 they relate. The Accounts hitherto presented with the Estimate for the prospective Financial 

 Year, have necessarily been composed partly of actual and partly of estimated Expenditure, 

 owing to their liaving been prepared before the expiration of the period which tliey embraced. It 

 is considered desirable that the preparation of these Accounts should be delayed till after the close 

 of the Financial Year, in order that they may be presented in a more complete shape, and be con- 

 fined to the actual Receipts and Disbursements.
