In consequence of the very unsettled weather prevailing daring his stay, many of the services did not take place. Service was held in the Wealeyan Church, Raglan, on Sunday evening, October 16th, when he preached to a good congregation. Mr Gittos proceeded to the Hot Springs, where it was his intention to hold servicc with the natives on the morning of Sunday last aud with the Europsans on the evening of that day. Steamer. — Tiie N.S.S. Company's Glenelg (Capt. Austin) arrived here from Onehunga on Thursday, morning last, bringing a largo number (fourteen) passengers for this place, besides general cargo. She also brought a large quantity of timber for building operations, proceeding after discharge of c.irgo etc., on her way to Wangaimi, etc. On Monday morning she called in again on her way up to Onehunga.
