CORRESPONDENCE.

Wjk do not hold ourselves respon-iMo for opinions expressed by correspondents. To tiu-:. Idoitojkj Sir, —Through your valuable medium, ] wish, n a behalf dt my f#\ I obv t<Bvn••• nion’ an■ f*mysoJ f, td ascertain sottio partieuUrs respecting the’ “ Ai-clideaeou’s clergyman." About two years airice a committee was formed, in accordance with the wishes of the Bishop or VV aiapn, to procure means tor securing the saryi eek. r>f a clercyrnan fo r this district. Tuo eo iu m it- tee iorrnoci inc-udcu rc?r4*ic*u'c , n i’f'iwrij /Juptuiny r JCovoy and Tunks, and Messrs. Id. T. and fci. Ij. Clarke/ These gentlemen ins tit mod a coUec'dou at the tfttmlnyafiernoon services, and the proceeds., have been' i devoted towards prying the clergyman’spassage and j other expenses incidental to his removes and such a j pro*ractca voyage. xo » certain: extent vve have I coxit.riouted to tins fund, and. would .have ■ -been glad | to have shown a. further, interest, ip,. t,b«. but j ah w<• kii"W’ respecting the gentleman appointed byi fhe liishop s agent is, that he may be expected here shortly and his name Mr,'.Jordan. : ; df the di-cv. Mi*. «iqrdan is not .to be .Archdeacon’s I>j n y curate* nor jefc aid dims tarior*t> Id td ftsw <*cn tieii.ea forming the committee and their- relatives, we presume )m will require for his - his support ; and j countenance the es-i-tum e of. others—church people in the district. Certainly we should have an opportunity of welcoming ban on. hia arrival, and showing that, though publicans ■ and heathens, inhabiting the nether regions of To IPapi, we can sympathise with and support a mmister of Christ in his noble and desirable work.-—I am, &e., \ QCXKK.
