Sine& writing the foregoing remark*., we have been kindly furnished with a list of the division yesterday morning of the Committee appointed to examine this matter, and we find that Messrs. Curtis, Sinclair, Dodson, Wells, and the Provincial Solicitor voted that Mr. Wilkie's section be selected. Ou the contrary, we find the names ofthe same number, Dr. Monro, the. Provincial Secretary, Mr.. Sharp, Mr. Wemyss, and Dr. Renwick. ■ We applaud the modesty of thelast named gentlemanin votinghimself i-800 for a section sold originally afc £50, and upon which no labor has been used or improvements made; a fair assessment would perhaps be £250.
