SUPPLEMENT TO TABLE E.

Showing the particulars of certain other Examinations.

[Note.] These examinations were competitions only in name, the intention being that all of the candidates who showed themselves capable of passing in the prescribed subjects should receive certificates of qualification. Consequently these examinations, though in name competitive, partake more of the nature of test examinations.

TABLE F.--Showing the COMPETITIONS for CLERKSHIPS, &c., held in each of the Years 1856 and 1857 respectively, together with the NUMBER of PERSONS nominated without Competition during the same Time to similar Positions.

The examinations included in the Supplement to Table E. are not taken into account at all in this table.
