The New Military College

Every day lines of soldiers are seen passing our compound on their way from the camps east of the city to the south suburb, where they are engaged in making mud brick for the erection of the new Military College, which is to be located in that suburb. It will have a very nice situation on high ground just inside the suburb wall, quite as desirable as the site which has been selected for the Provincial College in the south-west. suburb.

The Contemplated Provincial College.

This latter, however, is a magnificent piece of ground, covering, I believe, some twelve English acres, high and well drained, and lying just outside the wall of the suburb, but within easy reach 0° the South-west Suburb G: Plans are being made to go on he new buildings next year and, meantime, in order to accommodate the new class which will enter next winter, some additional dorritories and class-rooms are to be erected within the inclosure of the old Shu Yuan, where the college now holds its sessions.
