to send

Majesty's Government. I beg

: your Lordship Copy of my letter to

the Bishop of Victoria and of Lordship's reply.

I beg to mention that a sum

amounting to £1,000 in all has been

paid to St. Paul's College,

up to the present time and that not a single pupil

has been trained for the Public Service

nor has that Service derived

any, the slightest benefit from the outlay.

It appears to me that if the

grant is to be continued it must be

placed on grounds wholly distinct

from those on which it was originally

made.

I shall at His Lordship's request send a Copy of this correspondence to the Secretary of State for the Colonies. I am disposed to think that if

an allowance of money be made to St Paul's College it should be from Colonial and not from Parliamentary funds.

I have, &c.,

(Signed) John Bowring.

(True Copy)

Colonial Secretary.
