Public Notices. TEW CHURCH, TE AEO. The existing Anglican churches of St. Paul and St Peter being now insufficient for the increasing population of Wellington, attached to the Church of England, a series of meetings of the vestries and members of those churches, separately and collectively, have been held with a view to provide an additional church in the Te Aro district. The congregations of St. Pauls and St. Peter's have each of them guaranteed a moiety of a stipend of .£3OO, for the present year, to a clergyman who will labor to draw together a congregation while the church is -building. The services of one already experienced in*he Colony, and lately returned from England, have been secured. The Provincial Government have granted an acre of land adjoining Sussex Square, and in the neighborhood of the new College, at a moderate price, and this site for a church and parsonage has been purchased by the Standing Committee without involving cost to the proposed new parish. This site will be easily accessible to a large portion of the present parish of St. Peter, and will serve the district which it may be anticipated will be rapidly built upon along and adjacent to the Adelaide Road; it will be available for such of the pupils of the College as may board there, or in its neighborhood; and while it will greatly relieve the church of St. Peter, it will stand in a district of its own, instead of competing with the latter, as it might do were it to be placed nearer to it. Finally, at a meeting of all persons interested, called by public advertisement, and held at Messrs. Bet'mme and Hunter's offices, on the 11th inst., the following gentlemen agreed to l act as a General Committee to promote the work : His Excellency the Governor. His Lordship the Bishop.
