— You will be glad to learn that Mr. Wynter has felt himself authorised to suggest Mr. Maddock, the Rector of Kington in Herefordshire, for the Bishop. Wynter considers him very signally eligible; and I take for granted that he will accept the offer if it be made to him.

There is no so pressing want for the whole undertaking as the nomination of the principal clergy. Till that shall be done, sincerely religious people of all shades will be afraid of the predominance of some strong party-spirit in the settlement adverse to their own theological views. My brother meets this fear everywhere, and finds it a most serious obstacle to the enlistment of good colonists.
