Sir:
In reply to your communication of the 11th inst. I am directed by the Assistant Commissioner to say that those who have already expressed a desire to enter your Institution, and have furnished the necessary recommendations &c. should be admitted, but that it is his opinion no others should be encouraged to come until it is seen whether the number now and about to be admitted has not reached the limit already fixed,- seventy five-.
The Assistant Commissioner is clearly of opinion that those children living in localities where there are no advantages for education should be preferred. Six, or more students, will be sent from this place, on the six o'clock train this P.M.
