The Rev. Mr Mttnro who has been among us fo.- the past tjvo weeks, has expressed a wish to settle in the District, and supply a want that has hitherto existed. Whether we are to have a resident ordained minister rests entirely with the three townships of Cromwell, Alexandra >.nd Clyde ; let us sincerely hope, that, in this instance, a good spirit of fellowship will exist, and that one and all. will put forward their energies, in attaining an object so much to be desired. The intention of Mr Munro, if he meets with favorable support, will be to divide his time and services proportionately between the three Towns'. The most of our readers have had •in opportunity of hearing Mr Munro, and we believe the expression of opinion has been favor. al'le of him. Mr Munro will officiate at Cromwell, on Sunday next. We are given to understand the requisition to Mr Win. Fraser of Earnscleugh Station, to become a candidate for Clyde, was unanimously signed. To our knowledge, no other gentleman has as yet offered himself, but it is rumoured " only rumor' that Major Richardson purposes soliciting the uull'ragcs of the voters cf Clyde. Mr Mouatt again comes before ,] \■■>. constituents of the Goldlields for re-election in the Provincial Council. Wo refer oar readers to his address which appear.-.in ouradvertisie.geolnmiis. Mr Bradshaw and Mr Fuller, we understand will contest the election ; also, Mr M'lntyre, a gentleman who is engaged in mining at the .Nevis. We don't purpose at the present to advocate the cause of any one of the aspirants for legislative boucrs, but fr >m our knowledge of Mr 51 'lutyre, wo think the Mining portion of the community i light look further, and fare worse, in selecting him as their representative ; for many years, in Victoria, he laboured hard as member of a Mining Board for his constituents ; he was also a member of the Mining Board that was established in New Zealand.
