To the Editor of the Sydney Gazette SIR, In my letter to you from Newcastle, dated 5th Aug. last, and inserted in the Gazette on the 15th of the same month, I omitted one particular which I now think ought not to pass unnoticed, as it is an article of information which I conceive may not be unacceptable to some persons of the present age, and may perhaps be interesting even to future generations : it is this - the first stone of the Church at Newcastle was laid by the Commandant, Captain James Wallis, of H. M. 46th Regt. on the 1st January 1817, and on the Christmas Day next following, the said Officer having assembled the people for Public Worship, read to them the Divine Service

On a list of 35 prisoners to be sent to Newcastle penal settlement on the Lady Nelson. In correspondence to the Commandant he was described - as being bred up as an officer in the Navy, but whose pretensions to any thing like the character of Gentleman are certainly on as low a scale as any of those with whom his crimes have destined him now to associate. This young man who only arrived here per the Lord Eldon on the 30th of September last and who had on account of his former rank been immediately indulged with a Ticket of Leave has been busily employed almost from the day of his arrival in forming plots for the cutting out different vessels from the Harbour. In two cases it has been ascertained that he was the ring leader of a gang of pirates who were prepared to effect their purposes by the most sanguinary means. From all these circumstances the Governor desires that you will cause this man to be strictly observed and that he be wrought in irons
