New-York, October 8. On Tuesday last, the Corporation for
the Relief of the Widows and Children of Clergymen in the
Communion of the Church of England in America, met in this
city; and on Wednesday a well adopted discourse, warmly
recommending the charity, was preached in Trinity Church, to
a very large and respectable audience, by the Revd. Dr.
Auchmuty, one of the members of the corporation, from 2
Kings iv. 1.2. Upon this occasion, several pieces of
cathedral music, with extracts from Handel's celebrated
oratorio, The Messiah, were performed, and a very liberal
contribution was collected for the benefit of this
benevolent institution. . . [24 more lines]
