Thanks to Mr Berry's lectures such a movement had been set on foot in Lincolnshire, and hundreds of the best class of settlers— men with capital and ex perience — were looking to New Zealand as their future home, waiting for the reports of their delegates (Messrs Grant and Foster.) That these gentlemen would re ceive a hearty welcome from all persons in the colony he felt certain. The Rev.
