P.R. IN IRELAND.

[To the Editor of the SPECTATOR.] SIR,—The figures of votes polled in the Irish election which were given in my letter published on the 15th inst were quoted from the Irish Press, but by an error in transcription, which is regretted, the Government total was stated to have been 441,704 in place of 411,704. Your correspondent, Rear-Admiral Wade Caulfeild, will find that with this alteration the calculated proportion of the seats for the various parties is correct as shown.—I am, Sir, &c.,

ALFRED J. GRAY, Assistant Secretary, The Proportional Representation Society.
