CORRESPONDENCE.

THE LAMBETH CONFERENCE. We have been requested by tlie Very Uβ?. the Dean to publish the ioHowing letter received by him by the Panania mail from the Bishop of Chris)church. The address referred to in the letter has, we understand, not come at hand yet: — Malvorn Link, Ootober 1,1867. My Dear Dean, —I enclose, in the "Standard " newspaper, a copy of an address to the mc .ibers of the Anglican Communion from the Bishops assembled at Lambeth. ~ I should wish that this address should be read in the churches of the diocese, including those ia Otago and Southland, and shall be obliged if you will undertake to write to the several clergy forwarding to them copies of the address, with my request that they should read it to their respective congregiitiona. You will also, I hope, give what publicity you can to it by having it published in the papers. The mail goes out from hence to-dajr, and my time has been so fully occupied up,tQt\\\S present moment that I am unable to tell you more of ihe results of the Conference than whit you will gather from the address. The resolutions agreed to will be published, but not soon enough for this mail. I ehall reserve, therefore, my comments upon these and such explanations as may be noedful to make them and our proceedings intelligible to you until I can forward them to you. I believe I may say that all the assembled bishops feel that they have not attended the Confereneein vain. Some may wish that more might have been done, but all are entailed that the Church of the Anglican Communion has been greatly advanced thereby towards more perfect ecclesiastical organization and active co-oporation, and that very much has been done to bindise together in the bonds of brotherly love. I ehould mention that though reporters were admitted, they were so under a promise to divulge nothing but what the Conference might agree to have published ; the speeches therefore will not be published, but the resolutions and the reeult, with such reinarteas might be thought desirable by a committee appointed for that purpose. Tho address it to be translated into Latin, and circulated. Believe mc to be yours, rery faithfully, H. J. C. GhbistcottbcitV With the exception of the first Sunday, I have been preaching, chiefly for the 9. J?. GK» every Sunday, and have engagements for sermons up to Christmas. lam juet going to the Wolverhampton Congress. To the Very Rev. the Dean of Christcliurcb, Canterbury, N. Z.
