PUBLICATION OP THE CHRISTIAN RECORD.

♦ In reply to a maniacal screeching which was published on Wednesday evening last simultaneously in both the Dunedin papers, we have no hesitation in stating that a copy of the Christian Record was .left at this office on Wednesday evening, the 12th instant, by a person to whom it had been given by a gentleman connected with that paper. It •was forwarded from here to Bishop MoßAN,who only sees the publication alluded to when his attention is called to some particular passage in it by our editor,' and who knew nothing whatever about how the pai>er had come here, whether through the post or otherwise. We may add that, as a rule, we receive the Christian Record early on Thursday afternoon ; it reached us on Thursday, 13th inst., at 2.30 p.m., and the first batch of the Tablet sent out on that evening by our publisher did not arrive at the post office until 5.30 p.m. The rest of this letter signed " Veritas," no longer of South Dunedin, does not require any answer ; it is frantic. It is, however, better these 'worthies should qualify for a strait- waistcoat in the English of Chadband and the " Shepherd," than occupy themselves in murdering Latin grammar for the purpose of calumniating their neighbours. We may further add that they have gained rather than Irpt by the haste in which Bishop Moran's reply to them was written ; had his Lordship deferred the task a few days, he would most probably much more completely have exposed their ignorance and presumption. In conclusion, no man in his reason can expect that Bishop Moran will condescend to notice an impertinent letter, addressed to his Lordship by name through the public prints by a cowardly anonymous writer,
