The Caledonian Hotel, Anderson's Bay Road, Danedin, has been taken by Captain Blaney. The house, which is conveniently and agreeably situated, and is in all respects well fitted up, will be conducted in a highly creditable manner under its new management. Some idea of the n ligious indifference and disguised infidelity which abounds in Protestant circles may be gleaned from the fact that a preacher writing to the Christian Advocate of this city, from the Sacramento valley, says : " I can ride for twenty miles, through a thickly settled country, by some of the best farms in the valley, and not pass a home where there is family prayer." If such is the case in t» c country, where people are considered as generally given to leading what the preachers would call " gospel lives." what must it be in the cities, where the worship of the; devil and dollar-getting absorb the attention of the multitude ? Verily, Protestant " decay " is becoming too apparent to be denied.— San Francisco Monitor,
