THE PORT CHALMER'S CHURCH.

To the Editor of the Bveninq Star. Sir, —I bare read a letter in this evening’s paper with the above heading many times, in the hope that I could gather from it, what your inquiring cone-pondent wishes to know, and am obliged to confess, that in my opinion he is suffering from bile, and has read your report of the social gathering in connexion with the Church of England Building Fund with a jaundiced eye. _lt must be well known to any one in possession of ordinary intelligence that the local giving an account of the proceedings was not a full report, aud if your reporter chooses to condense a gentleman’s speech, the speaker cannot be considered responsible for what he is made to say. Therefore, 1 hops that before your correspondent publishes his strictures (on these genealogies) he will obtain a ver: batim report and an English grammar, I have just finished another reading of the latter, and fancy I have obtained a clue to the ideas which have actuated Mr Scrutator. He means to be funny, but his wit is of that description which is only lit to chronicle small beer, and drink it. I am, &c,, ZOOTOMIST, Port Chalmers, August 27th; 1870.
