cannot close This letter without expressing my ad-
miration OF the excellent arrangements made for the
public and for the press generally. Captain Eldeton,
of the royal engineers, conducted this part of the
ecutIve with great courtesy and attention. The men
composing the corps of sapPeTs and miners, who had
been employed in arranging the articles, almost
the only persons who could direct to find what
wanted but their attention and civility deserve no
tce. 1t is computed that 45O,OOO were received by
the sale of tie tickets which, added to the
sums subscribed, will make about 4l3O,OOO. The
cost Of the executive will be, it is said, about 200,
900 at least. There is scarcely doubt but that suf-
fcien funds will be raised to make it entirely self
supporting.
