The following is an extract from a letter received in this town on Monday last from Toronto, in Upper Canada, dated August 26th, only three weeks since:- “The Rev. Mr. Davis and Mr. Dease were here last week on a collecting tour for the Longford Roman Catholic Cathedral. I understand they have collected throughout the States, in the last two years, about forty thousand dollars” (which at 4s. 2d each would amount to 8,333 guineas, 6 shillings and 8 pence.)
