Dea, Sir II did not, nor do In
tend being lead into controversy in regard
to Public Schools, yet must Say from The
tenor Of your article in the Comet Of the
10th inst, one would have supposed for a
moment yeu had dreamed nj the time Of 10
Gliding in the quarterly erperllonment, by
the State Supt. all the muneY expended
by the city OF New Oreans,P and from
what they obtain from the Stale, the amount
for q fuel &c . individual subscriptions, y
amount" given by the Legislature 10 phi
vate Institutions &c. Had YOU not as well
include the amount spent in issuing the
Comet. as part of the expenses OF Public
instruction, IL order to make il out Such
statistics are not Supefiniended in this Of
fee. Aud as for tb figures you wish me
TO give they were furnished in my note,
published in this mornings Comet. All
other necessary figures, will be furnished
YOU next January in official form
In haste, Yours, Respectfully
A. N BoorH, Clerk.
No Sir. We think the Comet ought
not to be included, unless it change its
name and character become a fixed
star and takes its place in the constel-
laiion to which " Sirius helongs-the
centre of the system, We do think
however that in making up the sum
of the expense incurred by the State
for educational, and enlightenment pur-
poses, that as an item, the funds ex-
pended by individual patriots (or the
time being representing herr out OF
their own private pocket books, should
be included. We think after this fash
ion, because we feel that the people
the great the good the honest people,
would relapse into ignorance and alb
soluto Know Nothingism if it were
not for the sblrt-spittiug eloquence of
certain gentlemen, who ride over the
country with the light Of truth and
virtue shining before them into the
benighted regions like a halo of glory.

We learn that Count Nesselrode,

having compelled his matrimonial ar
rangements at Hollywood, will be in
town in few DAYS. His friends will
be gratided to know this If BeaI,
hasany adequate and suitable equipage
