PROCLAMATION.
WHEREAS it has pleased Almighty God to visit this Settlement with a great and grievous calamity, and it is fitting that a public acknowledgment be made of the Divine Power, on whom all the operations of nature and the security of his creatures depend, and that prayers and supplications be offered up to Almighty God to avert the recurrence of any similar visitation :
Now therefore I, Edward John Eyre, Lieutenant-Governor of the Province of New Munster, by and with the advice of my Executive Council, do hereby proclaim and declare that to-morrow, the 20th of October, shall be held as a day of public fast, prayer, and humiliation.
Given under my hand and seal, at Government House, Wellington, this 19th day of October, 1848.
E. EYRE.

ALFRED DOMETT,
Colonial Secretary.
