The latter is consigned to the waste basket; while the five reasonable docu. ments are translated, put in proper shape, and forwarded to, the Governor, and an intelligible answer is obtained by a sensible and rational mode of proce dure. If this all important duty be transferred to the Public Offices or more likely, to His Excellency's private bureau-what will be the result? Cer tainly half of the staff of the Queen's Road Department might be transferred to that which sagely rules over the Public Offices; a special translator will have to be employed to perform the duty for which Mr O.
