Tie Monitor seems to think that any concession to the Catholics would be injurious to the party iu power. Lnjurious, perhaps, in the eyes of the Orangemen and other Bigots.

Another clumsy attempt at conciliation is the rumoured ap- |poiatment of the Bishop of Charlottetown and the Vicar General to seats at the Board of Education. His Lordsbip once before refused this appoiutment—it is not likely be will accept it now. Nor is it likely that the Vicar General wil! aceept the distinguished honour—the labours of his extensive Missin afford him but little leisure for visits to Charlotte- town. Of course we cannot say how far his Lordship and the Vicar General wiil appreciate the compliment to the whove Catholie community implied fi the act, that though the | Catbolics number pearly half the population, ¢wo seats at the Beard must be considered quite suffivient for them, hile seven seats are required to represeut the other denominations.

quarter, and the place has been visited by the Lieut. Governor, jtaed Mulgrave, and the Provincial Secretary, Hon.

EMBARKATION OF TROOPS FOR ST. JOUN’S, NUWFOUNDLAND.,

A despatch was received in this city last evening from ¢. St. Johu’s, N. &., by [is Ex-elleney the Lieut. Governor, |

To rue Eprror or tus Examiner,

Sin,—In your issue of the 13th instant, remarking on the Public Accounts, ycu state * there are some grave errors ip the Commissioner’s Accounts,” aud you also give what you deem to be some “ omissions.” | desire plainly to state “there are neither grave errors or omissious,” and would beg your closer examination of the Commissiover’s Accounts, feelivg assured that afcer such further examination. you will adwit their truthfuluess as pudlicly as you have doue their

known to have bee : om Commissioners’ Court by Col. Gray and Mr. Longworth—the

= feewarded af all to the Colonial Ofico ; statement of the Meniior is false. Some members of the As- semb!y adverted to the fact that not one member of the Govern- ment cume forward to advocate the cause of the tenantry be- fore the Commission. Col. Gray—and, if we mistake not, Mr. Longworth both replied—that it would have been highly improper for the Government to take an active part in the enquiry before the Commission, and that neither of them had done so. Col. Gray stated moreover that he appeared there not as a member of the Executive, but in his capacity as a private citizen ; and we know very well that white several of the Liberal members of the Assembly—particularly the Hon. Mr. Coles —l«boured eine in the eause of the tenan- try, during the whole course of the enquiry, neither Col. Gray, nor Mr. Longworth, nor any other member of the Executive, manifested the leastsympathy for the tenantry. The attempt to c'eate @ little popularity Jur Mosers. Gray and Longworth, on this subject, is, therefore, Jike the Commission itsclf, a gross delusion and humbug.

and thiw circumstance gave rise to the complaints that were | 80 frequently made on the subject against the old Tory Govern- ment. From 151 to the autumn of 1857 they were prepared witt great care — there was a vast increase in the amount of information wit! which each volame was stered—and the Book | wae erat home each year within the time specified for its. transmiesion. Jn 1859 it became the duty of the new Colonial | Secretary, Henry Haszard, Esqr., who received his appoint- ee April of that year, to prepare the Biae Book for 1858, | or this work the Legislature voted him the handsome sum of £55 besides his saiary as Secretary, but before he finished the. work W. II. Pope, Eaqr. obtained the office of Secretary, and Mr. Hassard fel! back into his private station. When Mr. Haseard had completed his well paid labour, he wrote a dee- Patch on the sul ject of the Blue Byok for 1858, in which ho |

supposed inaccuracies, Your obedient servant, JOHN ALDOUS, Commissioner.

Office of Public Lands, May 16, 1861.

{Iu compliance with the Commissioner's request, we have made a further and ‘ closer examination”’ of his accounts, and we find that one error we committed was in not giving credit to the Worrell and Lot 11 Estates for a larger amount of money received for Stumpage on those estates than what was stated in our last. Our other statements, from the infor- mation before us, appear to be substantially correct.

With respect to the charge of *‘ grave errors and omissions,” complained of by the Commissioner, we shall adduce two instances only in support of our statement last week. He has charged in his accounts only the very sma | sum of £10 15s as

working expenses against the Solkirk estutc—without making
