Details: The Synod of Australia, alive to the importance of the present crisis as bearing on the religious and moral condition of these colonies, have deputed one of their number (the Rev. William Purves) to visit this country with a view to diffuse information respecting the spiritual wants of our countrymen in Australia, and to awaken more fully the sympathies of the Church on their behalf, and, if possible, to procure additional ministers for various places in Australia. The Committee have had a great deal of communication with Mr. Purves since he arrived in this country, and have been giving him every assistance in their power with a view to carry out the object of his mission. He has called their attention particularly to the following places, where ministers are immediately required - 1. Moreton Bay. 2. Stroud and Dungog, in the districts of Port Stephens and the Williams River. 3. Muswellbrook, in the district of the Upper Hunter. 4. Newcastle. 5. The Bathurst Gold Fields. G. The Braidwood Gold Fields. 7. Sydney. With the concurrence of Mr. Purves, the two first of these places have recently been supplied, by the appointment of the Rev. W. L. Nelson of North Esk, to Moreton Bay, and of the Rev. R. Boag of Belford, to Port Stephens. Various applications are now under the consideration of the Committee and of Mr. Purves; and the Committee hope soon to be able to report, that all the places above-mentioned have been supplied with ministers.
