In the first page of today's paper the reader will find a List of
Subscriptions for erecting a Place of Worship in Harrington-street, Cape
Town, in connection with the Colonial Church Society. The situation chosen
is convenient for a dense English and Irish population, among whom the
evangelical labors of the Rev Mr BLAIR, whose piety and earnestness are so
well known, are likely to prove highly beneficial. Such undertakings are
always liberally patronised by the people of this town and neighbourhood,
and it is hoped that with aid from other quarters the sum required for the
completion of this Church will soon be made up.
