TRINITY CHURCH.

AW. should suppose that with very few exceptions the residents in this district must- feel a sense of gratification at the completion of Trinity Church, the building of which was finally terminated last week, and possession takmi over by the officers of the Church. Tho Church, as it now appears in its finished stale is a credit to all coueerned in its erection : firstly, to those members of the Church of England and of other denominations, who, though few in number yet generous in heart, had the courage to initiate tho scheme of building such an edifice, and secondly to tho contractors, Messrs Lnndon and Conway, tho builders, and Mr Scot I, tho painter, who in tho most faithful manner have carried out the work. On a former occasion wo gave a detailed account of the r ii v is to In according to the pi ms md pea h i tions, and we both u \m sqm ik tin sentiments of all tho ( wuu m ju ! i in such matters win a a e s g th a tin work so planned lie bun u mpl ud in as thorough ant consulntnm i manner as the most i Tu d uu 11 d sire.

Still piety, still poetry remain, And shall remain, whilst o’er the air One chapel*bell calls high and low to prayer— Whilst ever green and sunny churchyards keep Tho dust of our beloved, and tears aro shod From founts which in tho human heart lie deep! Something in these aspiring days we need To keep our spirits lowly, To set within our hearts sweet thoughts and holy.”
