QUEEN'S LETTERS.—We have the best authority for
correcting the mis-statement of a contemporary, to the
effect that the Queen's Letter has been withheld in fa-
vour of the collections annually made in churches for
the funds of the National Society and the Society for
the Fropagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts. There
is no foundation for the mis-statement, and the collec-
tions will be made this year in the usual way in the,
churches, upon the Letter formally and officially ad_
dressed to the Archbishop of Canterbury, tae
Primate
of all England.—Obscrver.,
