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 adapted 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. . . [18 more
