The many friends of the Rev. Father Costello, formerly of Gisborne, will regret to hear of his continued ill-health, in consequence of which he intends to take a trip to Europe early in March. His congregation at Westport are arranging to give him a good send-off. v. Captain Reginald Barter, the captain of the Cornwall, which left with the Sixth Contingent, is one of the youngest commanders in the service of the Federal line. He is quite on the right side of thirty, and yet possesses some very high qualifications. He is a lieutenant in the Boyal Naval Reserve, and a duly equipped pilot, having passed all the necessary examinations at Trinity Honse. He is strikingly- youthful and Napoleonic in appearance, and has a most attractive personality. For the past twelve months he has been engaged with the Cornwall in carrying troops to South Afrtca, and in this capacity has maintained his reputation as a careful aud highly competent commander.
