CLAMPETT’S PROJECTED RETURN TO NEW ZEALAND. According to latest advices (says the Lyttelton Times,) Clampett is expected to return to the Colony ,by the E.M.S.S.'Kuapehu, due on Aug. 15. Some of our readers will probably be interested in the following letter received by a lady in .this Colony nol long ago. Comment would only spoil Mr Olampett’a effusion, which is ae follows: — “ Tavistock Hotel, Covent Garden, London, Jan. 25, 1890. i *• Beloved Sister, —What a dreadful time I have had. lam surprised you have not heard of my death long since, I managed to get through the Con tinent and come to England, because the papers were full of my fall in all shapes. English papers are also full of the same, and no matter how penitent lamit is no use: all doors are shut against me. I must go back I was raving with drink from the moment I left McGregor till I reached Chicago, where I had D.T.’s. Ever since I am endeavouring to live to God, Pray for me ! Ask Mrs —— to praj for me. lam going back in a few months, and I want you to send me 8 subscription towards my passage. The were no use whatever, and never will be. Such is life! lam going tc plough the same ground again, ard the clergy who endeavoured to crust me will have something to dream of I tell you; make no mistake. The Lord will smash system, and His name alone will be magnified. I will march again into Christchurch as fearless as possible. I am going in God’s strength I have lots to say, but will reserve all “ Affectionately yours, “ AbtHUB G. CIiAMPETT. “ Beloved Sister, —Remember I am Jiving in a bad way ; because I have refused to resort to anything worldly, notwithstanding my failings. I need not say I am hard up ; but if you cannot in the least way assist me ] will be obliged to return steerage, which I believe is a most uncomfortable route, Wbat lies have been told of me! I must return. I must have been tight when the Auckland Star reporter interviewed me. I do not recollect a word of it. I waa surprised when I read it.” There is actually a syndicate of religious people got up in Christchurch to run Clampett. There will be some fun. COMMERCIAL. AUSTRALIAN MARKETS. Sydney, July 1.
