THE "SPECTATOR" AT THE OUTPOSTS OF CHURCH AND EMPIRE.

[To THE EDITOR or THE " SPECTATOR29 SIE,—I hope I have not too long delayed expressing my heartfelt thanks with some joyful surprise at the prompt and ample response to my appeal on behalf of Church mis- sionaries for read Spectators. It was more than gratifying to see by Mrs. Maconachie's letter a fortnight later that it had been so liberally responded to. With her I trust that the Spectator may gain at least as many new subscribers elsewhere as new readers abroad. I may perhaps add, partly in excuse for my delay, that I am still a link in the chain of Spectator readers between the same literary lady and Jamaica friends, only, alas! the increase of price and postage makes the chain longer than it used to be in the good old days of cheapness.—I
