At the recommendation of the Administration of the Pa. iriotic . rsociety for this district, a number of persons have united, and with consent of the Magistracy, taken openpiem, on the 30th Dec, to collect con. iributions for the support of these unhappy people, sod to provide for the proper application of the mo. Dies therefrom arising, by lodging, boarding, cloth ing, and assisting those who are in want, as much as possible: whilst making application to the benevo. Jence of their fellow-citizens, they deem it needless to specify any motives for giving large benefactions ; the generous and general feeling which reigns among them, having already voluntarily displayed itself in the most touching manner, and the deplorable ob jects which every hour meet the eye, speak more powerfully to the heart than can be done by the most eloquent expressions.
