PROJECTED VISIT TO NEW ZEALAND. (From Oub Own Corkespondent.) LONDON, March 18. Arrangements for the Mission of Help to New Zealand are now well advanced. The committee which was askvd by the bishops' in New Zealand to organise the mission in England consisted of Bishop Montgomery (chairman), Canon Body, Canon Stuart, Canon Cutken, and Canon Walpole, the Rev. A. W. Robinson, and the Rev. Harold Anson (hon. secretary). The Archbishop of York and the Bishop of Labuan had been on the committee, but on accepting their present positions they had to retire. The committee sent out invitations to a num'bea* of clergy whose qualifications were suited to the purpose in view, and as a result the following 12 have been selected to proceed to New Zealand:— Canon E. A. Stuart, Canterbury. Canon Ivens, Halifax. Prebendarv Henry V. Stuart, Stoke-on-Trent. The Rev. J. C. FitzgeraJd, Mirfield. The Rev. A. B. G. Lillingston, Hull. The Rev. T. Rees. The Rev. A. D. Tupper Carey, Lowestoft The Rev. Cyril Hepher, Newcastle-on-Tyne. The Rev. G. de Cartenet, Greenwich. The Rev. J. J. G. Stockley, Burton-on-Trent. The Rev. C. T. Horan, Holbrooke Hall, Derby. The Rev. H. R. W. Farreivßridport. Most of the missioners will leave England in July, after having had an opportunity of consulting with Canon Pollock and the Rev. H. A. Kennedy, who axe now in the Dominion making arrangements for the mission, which is to last for three months, from September 1. Shortly after he had accepted nomination as a member of the mission Mr Tupper Carey had conferred on him by the Archbishop of York the pre'bendal stall and residentiaiy canonry of York Minster rendered' vacant by the daath of the late Bishop of Hull. It is understood that Mr Tupper Carey will act as canon missioner, and devote himself specially to the work of parochial and foreign missions, and that he will be able to give his whole time to the minster and to the work of the Church inthe diocese.

In the latter year he was appointed head of the Christ Church, Mission, Poplar, where he - remained until 1901, when he was presented to the rectory of Lowestoft by the Bishop of Norwich. He is proceeding to New Zealand on June 16 on the Mission of Hern, and he will resign his living in time to permit of a successor being appointed before his departure. .
