His excellency also fixed the sites for a chapel and

for a lotrial-place. His excelleLey having completed
Pere arrangements for our future convenience and com-

Town." His excellency ails attended un this occasiota by
the Rev. Mr. Cartwright, the Rev. Mr. Red.lall, and the

It must be extremely gratifying to the friends of Chris-
tianity to learn, that the foltlid4tiun stone of a new chapel
(Wesleyati) was laid on Thursday last, at Parantatta, by
the lieu. Mr. Lawry. It will be sommiting larger than

place of public worship, is considered of the most
eligible situations in Parmatia, heing in Macquairc-
