Tut Maximum. CHURCH AT C&WEPORIE. From
letters received from Calcutta It smarm that by the
good offices of the bishop an arrangement has been
mete with respect to the application of the funds
muscled for the Memorial Church at Cawnpore. The •
general feeling in fedi.i was in favour of erecting it on
the site of Sir Hugh Wheeler's entrenchments, but as
this was too distant from the city to serve as • mission
church the following proposal was made and adopted :
—That the government should make over to the Society
for the Propagation of the Oospel, Christ Church, which
Is situated in the centre of the town of Cawnpore and
close to the too celebrated well, for missionary uses, and '
that in return OA society should pay over the money it
had received for a memorial and mission church to the
general fend raised in India for the erection of a
memorial church on the site above referred to. Christ
Church has accordingly been transferred to the society,
and the Archbishops of Canterbury and York, and the
Bishop of London have appointed the Rev. 8.13. Burrell,
M.A., senior missionary of the society in Cawnpore, to
be the officiating minister.
