OTAHUHU AND PENROSE CAMPS.

[FROM OUR OWN CoRItI.SPOSDKNT.J October 29, 1854. BoTa these camps are very full at this time. At Ouhuhu various detachments, I pre-miae, are merely temporarily there, waring orders. The Penrose camp consists entirely of that most useful and important body, the Commissariat Transport Corps, who may, perhaps, have from 500 to 600 there, and aiiove 600 horses. . , u . Divine Service.—lt is i gular that with this bo ly of men, and c-ntered pre'tv much in one spot, no provision is made by our church for holding divme eervice on Sunday, although such services are held up the country to bodies of thirty, forty, or fifty men. The men themselves complain .hat there is no opportunity given them of atteit iinsjf divm- worship, with the exception of an officer reading a few hurried prayers on Sunday morning. Who Uto b'ame for this ? , . ~ , , Mount Smart Road— Ileal y this bt of road, perhaps not above a mile in length, is a disgrace both to our Provincial Council, our ltoal Surveyors Department, and all connected with it, I verily believe that £SO would greatly improve it, anl reidor it much more serviceable. The tratiie on th* roa lis great to->, and it ought to be put into proper rcprir.
