any of your time and attention to the starting of a subscription for a testimonial of respect to and regard for Mr. Turton? You will I an sure sympathize with us in the loss of our friend Mrs. Devenish who from the effect of a fall she had on Thursday last which shook her before weakened frame and so completely prostrated all the functions of her body that she did not again rally and died on Saturday. Poor Mr. Hood's friends are daily looking for his death, though his attenuated frame still tabernacles his better self. He is I am informed quite resigned; and is I trust looking peacefully forward to the conclusion of his journey when his heavenly parent shall receive him to his eternal home. Mr. H. Halse I know has informed you of every particular concerning the Native affairs in this district. When shall these unhappy quarrels cease?
