if I mistake not, in one of the notes from the
diary of Hadley Vicars. He was a bold, energetic, bard_
working man, and has ere this joined a glorious company

heathen. R e have had female martyrs in the Pacific from

The following is the letter from Mr. Gordon referred to
by Dr. Turner

"Eromasge, Jan. 3, 1860.
"Reverend dear Brother,—l have only time to write you
a few lines by a vessel just leaving here for New Caledonia.
The most noticeable circumstances here since you left
as. :—War among the natives who met you hare on
the Sabbath ; adlston again of natives here with foreigners,
resulting in house burning and the death of sonic ; the
removal of Mr. and Mrs. Matheson to this island for health,
which they are receiving in • large measure ; arrival of
Makes and his wife and daughter from Niue for health,
which they are receiving hopefully ; the poisoning of our
spring for table water sumo the late disturbances with
foreigners ; cheering prospects of the mission on the east
side of this island, when I now purpose to spend more of
my time. Since I parted with you. I have planted the date
palm seed where Mr. Williansiodei was cut up, and gathered
so me fragments of his sup bones from one of the
three ovens on which his body was placed after it was
cut up. The seed which you planted where Mr. Harris
was first struck is growing finely. After you left us eve
days one of the young men who met you was killed byte
neighbouring chief, and much fighting and mischief hays
been the natural results mums these heathens, to whom
Scripture is fulfilled—" Hateful and hating one another."
I am sorry I cannot give ytzderticulars of the work here.
"Mr. Paton is in great on Teens, May God help him
is his trying and needful our. We have no late aacounte
of matters on the Loyalty Islands and Aneitum. Mrs.
Gordon is quite well, and unites iu kind regards to yourself
and Mrs. Turw.—Yours very truly.

THE TRAMWAY IN LAttarrn.—An excited and
numerously-attended meeting of the Lambeth represents-
ties vestry took place yesterday, to consider a report refer-
'ob the line of tramway in operation in this parish front
Westminster-bridge to Kennington-park. Mr. Roffey, the
clerk, submitted, first, a letter received from Messrs. Wright
and Co., of 9, George-yard, Lombard-street, informing the
vestry that the nal employed was the "Patent Tyre Bar
Rail, patented by Mr. Writ in MA, and ,claiming pay.

that Mr. Wright was the real projector of street railways in
England, and endeavoured by every means to establish them
in London ten years ego. W. &grey next read •
letter from Mr. G. F. Train, setting forth statis-
tics and reasons to prove that, notwithstanding the enor-
mous opposition he had met with, his scheme wits a
decided success. Lastly, a report was read front
the Vestry Street ltatlway Committee, admitting to
a certain extent the s operation of tho line, and
askiug the vestry to pant the Company owning the line the
privilege of constructing another siding. A stormy and
leugthenod discussion ensued between the opponents and
supporters of the scheme, resulting in the adoption of •
resolution by a considerable majority, granting permission
to extend the line as naked for. With regent to the letter
from Messrs. Wright, another resolution was adopted sees.
ron., directing the clerk to state that the vestry had nothing
whatever to do with the matter. Mr. Train, who was pre-
sent during the proceedings, was then called upon to
address the meeting, but some of the members having mimed
an objection, he declined to do so, on the ground that he
came there on that occasion to be complimented, and not
censured, for the great public convenience which it was ad-
mitted by • very large majority of the parishioners he bad
so successfully introduced. The board then adjourned.
THE PEMBROKE DOCK AND TERRY RAILWAY.—
As considerable activity is manifested by the engineers on
this intended line, especially in the neighbourhood of the
terminus at the former place, there is every lemon to expect
an early commencement of the works. The Board of Ad-
miralty are affording the undertaking every oeceseary
&riddance._
