TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN,

Sin,—ln your report of the banquet, yOu state "The next
toast was the Prince Consort, Prince of Wales and the
rest of the Royal Family.' The Chairman, in proposing
it, expressed a hope that the Prince of Wales, in his next
tour, would pay a visit to one of the great colonies of Eng-
land." (Loud cheers.) His Grace, the noble chairinan,
could mean none other than Canada, on the opening of
the Victoria Bridge. " The Victoria Bridge is without
exception the greatest work of the kind. in the world.—
Year Book of Facts, 1858." p. 18. " England's Duty,"
therefore, is not to forget the last words of " the man" by
whose military genius that colony was conquered on the
" Plains of Abraham," Sept. 13, 1759—" Now God be
praised, I die happy."

I am sir, your obedient servant,
London, July 22d, 1550. W. H. ATTREE.
