Interested the Colonial Surgeon, the TELEGRAM S. days ago, Palins and Benares fetching ten zapren Director of Public Works, the Registrar General and others--and the Council and community have a right to know in what way the matter has been represented In England and on what ground the Secretary of State has sanciloned the radical change now proposed in the con- stitution of the Board. If there was any probability of those gentlemen or any of them being Induced to stand up in Council and openly state their opinions on the sending five thousand men to the Cape as soon subject and their reasons in support, so that there could be a full and fair debate on all the points in contest between the publle and the Government, then the cor- respondence would be of little limportance. But the "Dummies" won't speak and cannot be made to speak, and the measure will be carried by a silent vote of the official members of Council under the pro- tection of the Secretary of State's instruc- tions. If there is one thing more than another that the members of the English Civil Service hate it is publicity of any kind. The official despatches on the subject of the Sanitary Board would be found to be very amusing reading, no doubt, but they would also be found to be, on many peints, very unrellable guldes, Hence, no doubt, the refusal to make them public.
