CHRISTCHURCH ATHEWEUM. A T a meeting of the Committee, held on -£*- Thursday the 29th ult., which was fully attended, thirteen members being present, the following resolution was adopted unanimously, and ordered to be inserted as an advertisement in the local papers:— " The Committee of the Christchurch Athenaeum having reason to believe that there has gone abroad much misrepresentation of their views and intentions, and anxious to guard, if possible, against misapprehension in this respect on the part of the public, desire to make it generally known that they have no intention whatever—and never have had—of abandoning their undertaking, which has already received extensive encouragement and support, from their fellow colonists, and in the ultimate success of which, they have no reason to entertain the slightest doubt. And they further desire to add that, as m setting it on foot they have been influenced by no feeling of hostility or opposition of the slightest kind to any body of their fellow colonists, so they are determined not to be diverted by any misrepresentation of their motives or intentions from doing their utmost to carry out to a successful issue the one single object they have in view, which is the founding an Institution of an exclusively Literary and Scientific character, in the permanency of which they have the greatest confidence, and which they believe will prove a lasting benefit to the colony long after any little excitement and differences of opinion, resulting from local and temporary influences, shall have passed away and be forgotten." By order of the Committee, Henky Jacobs, Sec. pro tern. Christchurch, July 29,1852. P.S. Number of Subscribers to the present time, 83.
