Details: Correspondence – To the Minister and Churchwardens of Christ Church Cathedral at Newcastle – Gentlemen – I desire to bring under your notice the disgraceful conduct of certain parties as shown during service on last Sunay evening – conduct the more unbecoming, emanating as it did from those who, in the vanity of this life, wish to be known under the appellation of what is termed vulgarly speaking, Swells or Pure Merinos. Could not some plan be devised for the temporal punishment of these persons who visit Church only, it appears to me, to indulge in their shameful exhibitions of dumb show and laughter etc., I remember in olden times, in the mother country, the sexton of the Church administering a sound knock upon the head of any one misbehaving themselves with a rod he carried about for the purpose, Could such a course be adopted here, I have no doubt these individuals would conduct themselves with more propriety, and the shame attending the blow would to their sensitive natures be quite sufficient temporal punishment – Yours etc. - Pewholder

Details: To-morrow, His Excellency the State Governor; Sir Harry Rawson, will visit Newcastle, and open the temporarily completed Anglican Cathedral, which occupies a magnificent site in Church- street, and commands an excellent panoramic view of the city and its environs. The history of the Cathedral Church at Newcastle is among the most interesting and important antiquities of Australia. As early as the year 1812, there appears to have been erected on the site occupied by the present edifice a temporary building. In this little church, services were conducted till 1818, when it was replaced by a quaint but substantial building that remained till 1885. The stone that was over the main entrance door, which faced the east, has recently been discover- ed. It is much broken, and bears the date 1817. At first the building had an ambitious spire, which the fierce Newcastle gales defeated, and in 1822 it was pronounced unsafe. Gradually it declined from spire to tower and pinnacles, then to a small belfry till in 1882 the structure was very squat and odd-looking, being, in addition, very unsafe. The Pro-Cathedral was built on the opposite side of the street in 1884. The antiquated little Cathedral was soon afterwards demolished. The Pro-Cathedral, which since 1884 has served as the Cathedral Church, will after the opening of the temporarily finished Cathedral be converted to a Parish Hall
