He is usually tardy in making amends for an injury done in that way, but I presume will ere this have suitably apologized through your columns for so grave a wrong to an un- offending institution like ours. The correct hgures are given in the report, from which he professes to quote, and he was in honor bound when trying to ride roughshod over the backs of sister institutions, to bestow at least the usua! care upon what he accredited them with. The figures, which if correctly given by him, would have shown the pro- gress made by the Canada in thirty-four years, and the Sun in ten years.

Prince of Wales College and Normal Schogl.
Sir,—In your issue of Friday last, there is a letter anent the Prince of Wales’ College and Normal School, and signed “« Elector,” which in this age of reason and intelligence is a marvel of downright stupid- ity. The first half of ‘‘Elector’s” letter is so confused as to be ‘‘past findingout.”” There- fore it is only necessary to confine oneself to the latter part, in which he sets forth some tigures having reference to the annual cost of the above Institution to the Province, which are so misleading that they require to be corrected. ‘‘Elector’’ estimates that,at the very lowest, $8,000 are required per annum to keep it in operation. Is this true? Let us see :— Salaries Principal College and Nor-
mal School...ov00c.0+0++sccccecccesooese.- 1,000 Salary Ist Professor....+-..cccceeeeeees 1,100
Salary 2nd Professor........0cccseeeeess+ 800 Salary 3rd Profess0r.....+.+-reeserseeess 700 : $4,100
Other Expenditures...cssecesreee..-. 400 $4,500
Now, there are, independently of the students studying for a teacher's license, about thirty-three other, who have no such object in view, and who are charged a yearly tuitional fee of $10 each. Here, then, isarevenue of $330, which, if de- ducted from the $4,500, will leave, instead of $8,000, a total annual cost to the Prov- ince of $4,100. Then ‘‘ Elector” says the annual outlay per head for the students attending this Institution is $242. How far this is correct we will see. Last year there were over ninety-three students in attendance. By dividing this number into $4,170 we find that, instead of being $242, it is only about $43, or a difference of almost $200. It would be well for ‘‘Elector” if, in the future, he would make an effort, even though it be a difficult task, and one requiring considerable self- respect, to confine himself to truth and accuracy, when he attempts newspaper cor- respondence.
Yours, etc., Fact.

Six,—I see by THE EXAMINER of yester- day, that Theo. L. Chappelle says I strive to convey the impression that he 1s the author of the letters signed ‘‘ One Per Cent.” Now, sir, in my letter in THe Examiner of Saturday, I unhesitatingly asserted, and I now repeat the assertion, that he is responsible for the letters
uded to.
“ another letter signed ‘‘One Per Cent,” also in your issue of yesterday, he tries to make it appear that * Citizen” and ** An Elector” is one and the same person. Now, Mr. Editor, you know this to be false, and to use his own words, *' simply shows his complete failure as a ‘ guesser.’” He says he is ‘* a tax-payer, and ashamed to admit, assisted in electing the men who now com- ose the majority of the City Council.

A despatch from Saigon, dated the 26th, says that Capt. Riviere was reconnoitering with 400 men and landing parties from French vessels, when attacked. The pariy was assaulted, when 400 kilometres from Hanoi, by a strong body of the enemy, principally pirates, and was compelled to retreat. The total loss is 26 killed and 51 wounded Saturday’s telegram, giving the number of killed and wounded, referred only to the loss among the sailors. The troops subsequently occupied the position. Additional troops are being hurried for- ward from Saigon aboard merchant vessels.
Ip the French Chamber of Deputies, on Saturday, M. Brun, Minister of Marine, read a telegram from Tonquin stating that 14 were killed and 20 wounded in a sortie. Hanoi is surrounded by a numerous force of Annamites. Two companies of French troops have been sent from Taigon to that place, and other troops will speedily follow. M. Brun also announced that a transport with troops on board, which was in readi- ness at Toulon, has been ordered to sail for Tonquin. He stated that reinforcements would also be sent to Cochin China. M. Perin, for the Radicais, declared that his party would vote for credit for the Tonquin expedition, as it was necessary to avenge the death of Capt. Riviere, and to save the honor of the French flag. M. Delafasse, on the part of the Right, made a similar statement. Credit was then carried by a unanimous yote.
