| Abstract: | SIR, When, in June, 1880, I accepted the office of Director of Education, I did so under the impression that the Authorities at the Colonial Office had decided upon making such substantial modifications in the Government of Malta, as would give the representatives of the people an efficient control over the administration of their own local and domestic concerns, and the expenditure of their own local revenue, in conformity with the demands that had been made in the Petition which was presented to the House of Commons on the 11 th August, 1879, and on which I commented in the Letter addressed to the Secretary of State for the Colonies on the 31st January, 1880.
