CONSECRATION OF CHRIST CHURCH.-- Yesterday a very large and highly respectable congregation gathered from all parts of the district to attend the ceremony of the consecration of the above edifice, according to the rights of the Church of England. The ceremony was performed by the Anglican Bishop of Sydney, assisted by the Rev. Messrs. Sowerby, Druitt, Smith, and Soares. After the consecration service was concluded, the usual Morning Service of the church was conducted by the Rev. Mr. Soares, the first lesson being read by the Rev. Mr. Sowerby, and the second lesson by the Rev. Mr Druitt. The Communion Service was held by the Bishop, assisted by the Rev. Mr Smith. An appropriate sermon was then preached by the the Bishop, and Offertory Service read, and collection made. A very large number of select friends was entertained at lunch in the schoolhouse, at the conclusion of the service.
