Campbell, Esq. W.S. The extremely depressed circumstances of vast numbers of the ntunity, end the necessity of adopting some effectual means for err Irn..rovement, long occupied the minds of the benevolent and llnilanthropl e in 'cotland. Apart from the destitution induced by tratettous criminality, it was evident that much of the distress of the Yu:alder classes aros e o u t o f c i rcumstances over w hi c h they had Iltle or no control. In aggravation of other evils, indigence conti nually drives numbers of the rural mid urban population to occupy pestiferous dwellings where their own health or lives are sacrificed, and whence those of the hither classes also are invaded. Although possessing fields of employme n t cap cultivated, the Highland flsherrnenab a l n e d of remunerating if properly ter destitution, requirieg the intereentien of public a recharityfrequently u t e o n t avert t r i t i actual starvation. Although Scotland boasts a number of eharitable institutions, it no orgsnization for aiding the industrious to raise them sitlye3 from destitution, or to prevent th e i r falling into depressed circumstanced on the failure of employm en t, until a number of in • fluential and benevolent persons, in September, 1546, decant:bed to set upon the principle successfully carried out in England, of fbrminz a great national institution, which should seek to improve generally tt,e oondltion of the labouring classes, by various means adapted to • tbat end, and accordingly the Scottish Patriotic Society was in stituted. The distinguishing features of this society are, IN non-political and non-sectarian character, and its antagonism to pauperising ten dets'eles —its great objects being , to enable the p oor t o hole them selves ; to develop the resources of the land, of the sea, an d of the e°l "ivz and to demonstrate how the labour of the otherwise un employed and Indigent classes may be applied therein, se as to sup- Port and remunerate themselves, thereby indirectly believing and benefiting the whole community. It must be evident, that if agri cultural and similar societies are useful to the intelligent, the *rianization of the Patriotic Society is unspeakably more ueeessary to the uninstructed and destitute. The emergency is great, and the field of exertion a wide one, hut PeP ar !deuce has already demonstrated, that the efforts of the Patriotic society are telling effectually where they are so much needed. .... l+therto the pecuniary means at its disposal have been too limited h enable it to enter so extensively upon its labours as is necessary, (sod Its promoters confidently make the present appeal for extended „._ S ant of usefulness. Every one is more or less directly interested in messes of its attempts to improve the sanatory condition of the f±taabler classes and to raise them from mere paupers and con ni,ra.

Advocate, to the Chair. . The Report and Statements submitted by the Direcfers contained a very satistaeof y account of the progress of the Institution duripg • _ . the year 1847. It was - reported That the number of Policies for Life issiranee issued by the Company from the 15th Novensiser, 1846, to 15th November; 1847, was 621. • . _ . That the Sums Assured during, the, same period,, contained . i these Policies, amounted to 443,578!: 4s. I id. ' • That the number of applications for ,Policies,made to ttii-ton pany, and from , which .the above transactions were selected, was 804, containing proposals for Assurance to the extent Or 591,663/. 8.. Thst the Annual Revenue of the Company, as at 15th November, 1647, was 131,3161. 10s. 7d. • That the whole amount or assurance covered by the Company's " Policies, in force at 15th November, 1847, was 3,24090/. 14s. 10d. The Report then proceeded as follows : " The past year has been marked by the most extraordinary fea tures as regards commercial affairs and general credit ; but, while all elasses of society, especially the mercantile community, and our pablie Institutions connected with the general affairs of commerce, have felt the pressure of the times, the Life Assurance Institutiatis of the country have stood unaffected by the crisis. It °thing can tend more to extend confidence in these institutions than this result ; and It is hoped they will always be found affording protection and dis pensing benefits to all connected with them, unaffected by thoSe periodical changes. - - • . " Notwithstanding the unfortunate positi on of-the country. during the ta.st year, the amount of new business transacted by this Com pany has exceeded to a large amount the business of the previous year. The claims during the year have been greater in proportion than usual , but then the increased mortality throughout the king. dom generally is remembered, the Directors consider they bare reason to be well satisfied with the results." • After the Report and Statements were read, the Chairman con gratulated the meeting on the favourable position of the Company, and its prospects generally, and again brought under notice the , most prominent Latures in the Report. He drew attention to the. ; great imrease of the business, the increase of the •revenue, And the • rapid ae - umulatlon of the Company's Funcle,'• which it appeared HAD BEEN MORE THAN DOUBLED DURING THE LAST FIVE YEARS.

The Society for the Improvement of the Condition of the Labour ing Classes having met with entire success in three different efforts to provide better dwellings for the labouring poor, is now desirous of commencing a new attempt, of, it nay be hoped, a still more inmor ant character. Its past operations have been as follows :- 1. A range of cottages, on a site where cottages only were admis sible, called Model Buildings, in Itagnigge•wells. These are now oc cupied by married couples and aged females, whose rents are paid weekly, with great thankfulness for the cheap and wholesome lodg ings provided. 2. Three houses repaired and thrown into one, in Charles-street, Drury-lane, wherein clean and proper accommodation is found for 80 working men. 3. The Model Lodging-house, for single men, built expressly for the Society, in George-street, St. Giles's. In this house 104 single men are provided with separate sleeping apartments, and every other desirable accommodation, at the charge of 4d. per night. All these establishments are full, the rents are regularls paid, and the inmates are very thankful for t. a advantages they receive. The number of persons nosy tenanting the Society's houses is 320, while in various parts of the coantry their allotment tenants are 556. These throe undertakings, therefore, while they return a fair and adequate rental for the capital laid out, are producing important be nefits to the working classes, and are compelling improvement in lodging-houses generally. But there is a very numerous and Important class, for whose be nefit great efferts ought to be made. The mechanics and other la bourers, occupied in the heart of the metropolis, and having wives and families, who are compelled to dwell in localities where employ ment is to be Minn!, surely demand some consideration. The Committee desire forthwith to make an earnest attempt to meet the wants of this interesting and important class of persons. They at present have in view two sites, in the very centre of the me tropolis, either of which would admirably answer the purpose. They are endeavoering to gain possession of one of them, but it will be necessary, in order to their effecting this object In a proper and Auflielent manner, that they shothi first raise a sum of 5,0001 or 6,000/., which will obviously be required to erect any building of such extent as to to serve as a model for future undertakings. Hence a public appeal must be made, since the whole of the Sociecy's funds have been exhausted in the completion ot the three works above enu merated. The Committee believe that with the Christian public of this coun try no further plea need be used than that of the duty and impor tance of benefiting the poor, especially with respect to their dwellings. Still it cannot be out of place to remark, that while measures her the improvement of the health of the metropolis are urged on every side, there can be ne measure so effectual for this purpose as that of ex changing the wretched abodes, into which the poor are now too often crowded, for well-planned, well-drained, and properly ventilated ha bitations. The Committee believe that this can be done even at a lower rate of charge for rent than that which the labourer is now often forced to pny, and they entreat the affluent and the charitable t.) give them the means of still further demonstrating this important fact by aetual experiment. It cannot be too often repeated, that while our poor are forced , a s at present, to crowd together, all ages d health sex or es in the game sleeping apartment, the preservation of either morals is rendered all but an impossibility.

PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT From the " Hull Advertiser" of FRIDAY, MARCH 11' 1845, We have this week to announce an entire change in the Proprie torship of the " Hull Advertiser." Mr. William B e ttison, the last of a spirited Reform Proprietary, dating from the era of the Re form Bill, ceased to have any pecuniary interest in this Journal from the first day of March instant. This event, usually's° linportant in the social and political life of a community, involves in the future . conducting' of this Paper no change of persons ; no modification of political principles ; no fresh combination of party associations. The late Proprietor had nothing more at heart than that the " Hull Advertiser " should always Ise found the faithful and fearless advo cate of liberal opinions; and the hands to which he has entrusted it have never penned a sentence which a Fox, a Grey, a Romilly, a Mazkintosh, or a Cobden could have objected to as favouring mono poly In trade, inhumanity in law, bigotry in religion, or corruption in Parliament. Be who was the Editor for the last six years , and who, during. the whole of that time, was guided is his treatment of all public questions by the free and undisputed exercise of his own unfettered judgment, is st1:1 Editor, and one of the two Proprietors t ) wh en the Paper now belongs. The other has for acme yet. conducted the pecuniary bushiest of the office, and will continue to confine himself to what the Chancellor of the Exchequer would call " the Ways and Means " department —ac important one in 4 news paper office as well as in a Royal Cabinet. To the general reader, therefore, there will be little at first betides the imprint to remind him of a change which has been ;timed on the late Proprietor by the necessity of extending his regular trade as s brewer. The most satisfactory way of placing this before the puitlic will be to quote the following letter front Mr. Betti-oft to the Editor: " 18, Charlotte-street, Hull, March 21, .I.BiB. "My Dear Sir,—lt will gratify a very natural degree of public curiosity, and relieve me from more personal questionings than I have time to attend to, if you can make it convenient to announce , this week that I am no longer proprietor of the ' Ilull Ad vertiser, and that the sole proprietorship of the paper Is now vested In your self and Mr. Marling. " when, many years ace, I became one of several prop rietors, and in 1844, the sole proprietor of the Hull Advertiser, I made up iny mind never to part with it, unless to some one as strongly devo ted, to the support of true Reform principles as I was myself. The management of newspaper property was far from being as congenial to my habits as the busine^s of a brewer, wh"ch I inherite d ft , m my father ; but I looked upon the ' Advertiser' as a public tru st, which felt bound only to deliver to one capable of carrying out the party. For six ob jects for which it was first purchased for the Reform ' years you have been its uncontrolled, irresponsible Edit or. B y the fearless and able exercise of your talents and your ind ustr y , y ou have obtained for it a larger circulation, and a more co mmanding influence shame it ever possessed before ; and such is my u nbounded confidence in your personal and political integrity, that I believe that I cannot perform a greater service to the Liberal cause than by committing the chief organ of the Liberal party in the East Riding of Yorkshire permanently to your management and direction. You have made the paper a good property, and one with which I should be very loath now to part, but that there is a necessity for very greatly extending my brewing business. My son Samuel, as you know, has become my partner in that business, and It requires that all our energies should be employed in carrying it on with spirit. This Is an age of competition, in which to do one thing well is enough for one establishment. " In Mr. Marling you have a trustworthy colleague, and a safe man of business. During his management of the affairs of the Ad vertiser ethos he possessed, and proved himself deserving of pos sessing, all my confidence. You know his worth, and how to appre ciate it at its true value. " And now, my dear Sir, in severing my connexion as proprietor with the' Hull Advertiser,' it is my earliest wish, as it is that of all my family, that the friendly and affectionate Intercourse which has subsisted between us, without an hour's interruption, since the day of your first appearance in llull, may be continued on the •Id foothig. You can hardly represent yourself as less free from all poli tical influence, on my part, than you ever were. Let us than retain the old intimacy so gratifying to us all. ]'ourself and Mr. Marling have the sincerest wishes of my heart for your Joint success in an undertaking, in which it would be hard to find two men more compe tent for their respective parts. Indeed, I know that your labours must be erowned with success, if merit meets with its due reward. "I ant, my dear Sir, T ou rs very affectionately, " WILLIAM ItETTISO.N. " E. F. Collins, Esq." This letter is all that we could wish—all that the public can rea sonably desire in the way of exp lana. ion of a ehange, which will not be felt either in the politica l tone or in the general management of the "Hull Advertiser." The new Proprietors have few professions to make, and are content to rest thei - success on the extent and Ade lity of their endeavours to deserve it. One promise the editor may make to the people. Tke " Hull Advertiser" will never, under his management, be the tool of any party, or the organ of any clique or faction —political or religious. It wil , never be found supporting corrupt and ambitions men at the expense of great and enlightened principles ; nor att-eking the foundations of law and order to court an ephemeral popularity. Not that we wish the shadow of doubt to the Navigation- Laws Swearing— filcial be felt as to our political principles. We are Liberals in the most general interpretation of that term. W e are the advocates of Free- T ra de—Church Reform—Law Reform —the supporters of an en tre, a n m de s Electoral the u nes ty iV F rar cihel:te—os Tests--o—the the n Capital Punishments—and for the subst it u tion of Pea ce for Military principles in the 'government and control of all the nations of the earth. We are strongly in favour of a s y stem of National Educe ,o a c h k o e l r l y tio o n f tion. and look upon the schoolmaster as the great regenerator of our social system. It will be our peculiar study and our grcalest pleasure to co-ope rate with every movement having for its object the improvement of the social and physical condition of the people among whom this journal more especially circulates. Local reforms are, after all, the things which should ehisfly occupy the constant attention of a pro vincial press. And here we hope to be well supported by our con temporaries of every shape of opinion. We have no jealousy of rival newspapers, and do not propose to ourselves the employment of any means to diminish their profits, or curtail their circulation. We can speak of the success which has attended our own labours without directly or indirectly implying a want of success on the cart of our contemporaries. The great mission of a free press is not fulfilled by the traduction of rival journals, or the vituperative railings and counter-railings of the organs of adverse opinions. The press, as a great intellectual institution, owes a respect to itself inconsistent with those coarse bickerings which are never popular but in a semi barbarous state of society. We trust to be pardoned for observing that henceforth all our in terests are mixed up with the prosperity of Hull. In assuming the proprietorship of this paper, we have aimed as much at making our residence in Yorkshire a permanent one, as In obtaining an organ wherewith to effect some social and political good in our generation. We are happy to say that it would require no increase of our present circitiation to make the engagement upon which we have entered a profitable one. To stand still would be to obtain a remunerative share of success. But, with the blessing of God, we aro not destined to enter upon what, in this ever-advancing world, should be con sidered as a retrograde course. We have arrangements in contem plation, which, when completed, will place us In an advanced posi tion as regards our most enterprising provincial contemporaries. Wherever lurking genius is to be Mum!, it will be our peculiar care to draw it forth, and to enrich the world with its hidden treasures. There is a great abundance of unemployed intellectual wealth in Hull, for which we hope some dar to find profitable in vestment. There is also a vast amount of moral and social evil to be remedied, not entirely beyond the reach of newspaper influence. In the way of sanitary reform there is snore to be done than would suffice to constitute the twelve labour* of Hercules. With these views, and with an earnest determination to do all in our power to redress the real grievan es of every class and party of our fellow townsmen, we enter upon the more extended sphere et' our public duties. We ask from all extens ve support, and generous sympathy and encouragement. The " Hull Advertiser" is most extensively circulated iii Bull, the East Riding of Yorkshire, and North Li nco l ns hire, and is an excellent Advertising Medium for p ro f ess ional gentlemen, agri eulturisls, auctioneers, conatnerelal agents, &c.

Presented at the Annual General Meeting, held at the Society's Office, on Thursday, March 2d, 184 R. Ilaying, at the Meeting held in January, 1847, presented to the Pro rietors and A.sured a very full account of the Society's affairs, your Directors have but little to commuincate on the present oc casion. ..... It may, however, be satisfactory to those now assembled to learn that, notwithstanding the increased and active competition arisifig from the yearly establishment •f many new Life Assurance Offices, the business of this Society still continues to advance. In proof of this, it will be sufficient to state the following facts : I. The Lumber of Policies granted on the lives of Clergymen., a class of persona generally distinguished for longevity, has been greater during the year ending June 30th last (the period compre hended in this report) than In any one year since the commence ment of the society. 11. The Socictyi Income, which was 116,3821. In the year enclitng June 30th, 1846, a , eunted to 122,906/. in the year ending Jutne 30th, 1847. 111. The number of NEW POLICIES issued within the year has been 513, and tha amount assured thereby 257,079/. Being an increase, both in the number of poliei, s and in the sum assured, oTer these of any preceding year.

It is proposed that the Training Institution should immediate superintendence of a clergyman be ender the of the United Church of England and Ireland, as Master. That the inmates of the Institution h s ould consist of three classes :- 1. Thcso under training as probationers. 2. Those who, after p is , ing through the period of probation s tisfactorily, arc admitted as nurses, on condition of their engaginga to continue in connexion with the Institution f ora period of years from their admission. During this period they will bo clothed and maintained, and receive a fixed annual stipend, and in return will be entirely under the control of the governing bod y o f the in stitution. At the end of these five years they will be entitled to receive from the Institution a certificate of their qualification as nurses, and thenceforward to pursue their calling, either in connexion with the Institution, or i n d e pendent of any direct con trol from it. It is be lieved that this will be a very important step towards gradually raising the character of the whole clam. A nurse having this certi cabs will necessarily occupy a higher position than others, will be likely to set an example which can scarcely fail to hare a good effect upon than, and will encourage those who are looking forward to t hi s as their work in life, to follow in the same course, and sub mit them selves to the training of this Institution. 3. In addition to these there will be a class of sisters, which is in tended to comprise persons, of whatever station in life, who are willing to devote themselves to the work of attending the sick and poor, or of educating others for it under an organised system like that which w ill be here provided for them. The management of the Institution will be confided to a Council of twenty-four members, (exclusive of the master, who will be ex officio a member,) belonging to the United Church of England and Ireland, who shall be chosen by the Governors out of their own body. A donation of fifty guineas in one payment, or in several payments within fear years, er an annual subscription of five guineas, will con stitute a Governor. A donation of twenty guineas in one payment, or in several pay ments within four years, or an annual subscription of two guineas, will constitute a Donor.

Sir John Fade, Bart., Depaty-Chairman of the Penin• smiler and Oriental Steam Naviaation Company. Henry Wise, Esq. Bea:seas—Messrs, Wye, Hallifax, Mills, and Co., London. The objects of this Company are to carry on mining, agricultural, arid trading operations in the Eastern Archipelago, and the acquiring and disposing of lands in the Island of Lateran arid the parts adjacent —a region aboundina in mineral wealth, most fertile in all the valu able tropical productions, and very happily situate foie the purposes of commerce. The Island of Labmin has been formally taken possession of by the Crown of Great llritain ; and, by a treaty with the Sultan of gurneo, many highly important advantages are pout :nerdy secured to this country. Piracy in the eastern seas will now be effectually suppressed, and, under the protection of the British flag at Labuan a trees era AS regards those regions, has commenced, which attends the roost fa vourable epportunity fur successfully accumplishing the objects of this Company. To those who are at all acquainted with the Indian Archipelago, it is wholly unnecessary to expatiate on the advantages to be derived from this undertaking. The important discovery of an abundant sup ply of excellent coal ea the mainland of Borneo, in the immediate vi cinity of Labuan, is a circumstance which of itself would render this enterprise pregnant with the most beneficial results. A formal grant of this coal, extending through a district of about 150 miles, has been obtained from the Sultan of Born , o, and is, with the approval of her Majesty's Government, now held by Mr. Wise, with whom arrange ments for its working will he roads. The working of the coal mines will form an important feature in the operations of the Company, The geographical position of the Borneo coal districts in relation to our Eastern possessions, awl to the steam COMMUlliCatiollll which are now earned on, and others which are about to be carried on in con nexion therewith, is a matter of peculiar interest, and even of na tional Importance. The Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company, for instance, disburse more than 130,0001. annually fur of t e: e e l ] ; will u p p b e , g u n ti d v aebrl depots so on a es coal for their steam-vessels, of which sum about 90,0401. are ex pended in coal used to the eastward of the Cape of Good posse. This coal. as well as the requisite supplies for the steam - vessels o f he r Majesty's navy, and for those of the Houourable East India Com pany on the India and China stations, is at present chiefly furnished farm England, at an average cost exceeding 335. per ton ; so that the es penditure by her Majesty's Government, the Honourable East In diareduced Company, and the Peninsular and Oriental Company for the an glee al b th ee e n op e e s r ta a opera lions lto lil item d e n adm i t of t e ions of the Eastern Archipelago Company are sutliciently nurtured of the many Hong-Kong, Singapore, and other places, with coal for the c have use many British and Foreign ate. m-vessels re - orting to those ports. The certain increase in the consumption of coal in the eastern seas, from the ca charm 1 trees already mentioned, and the opening of other e s of demand , cannot fail eventually to augment the use of Borneo coal. Th e and our projected steam communication between Singapore Wile rup ees at o Australian colonies—the probable communication by the merits to the eastward d istant period, between the various British settle of America—. we a ll rd of the Cape of Good hope and the west coast blished in India—. as the system of r a il wa y s now a b o ut to be este immense consumption o ' f eve nts eminently calculated to occasion an Borneo coal, the more so as it Call be sup plied at comparatively moderate rates. Samples of the Labuan and Borneo coal have been brought over to this coun t r y by Mr. Wise, and analysis by competent a (lovernment to a careful examination The Borneo coal has als o been parties, with a mo s t sa ti s f actor y resu l t . Committee, appointed by the Benpgraoln counced Government the Calcutta t. cal best English coal ; and Captain Walhage oin, to be equal to the coal obtained from the seam at Labu an, forthents report on th e su ppli es o f East India Company's steam-ship Nenmsis. dated Sarawak, 10th use of th e H onoura bl e June, 1e47, observes — " I have no hesitation in stating received at Labuan is equal to any English coal ha ve s l tat that the coal steamers in India, anany d decidedly better than seen on b oar d coal worked in India for steam purposes." The portion of territory contemplated fur the first operations of E as t e rn Archipelago Company p ossesses a climate aria a,soi lauli t i r he ably adapted for tine ~ culture of cotton , tobacco, sugar, ~ree, rice, nutmegs, pepper, and other valuable productions, and is most favourably situate, having the advantage of Labuan, now su'ject to British dominion, as a point d'apPui ; nor can there be a doubt of the excellent posltien of the proposed field of enterprise for Ail ex tensive end lucrative commerce. The proximity of Java, Sumatra, Siam, Cochin-China, Hainan, Manilla, Celebes, &c., is not only of great importance in this respect, but also a affording tine m eans of introducing with facility from those places s Chinese ad other eolo rusts, and labourers to any extent required for the service of the Company. Labuan itself will form an essential link in the chain o our eastern settlements, from Penang, Malacca, and Sin: apore to Hong Kong ; and in the district of Sarawak every protection and encouragement will lie granted by Mr. Brooke in fwtherance of the Company's objects. In short, every circumstance justifies the anti et -anon that the late proceedings of the liritish Government relating to Borneo, if followed up with vigour by the operations oh the pre sent Company, will change that which has been heretofore a region of piracy, lawless violence, danger and desolation, into a scene of busy, peaceful, and Iseneticial cernmerce; bringing the advantages of progressive civilisation to a large and fertile tract of the globe, and conferring extensive benefits ou the commerce and manufactures of Great Britain. The philanthropist and the statesman, as we las the merchant, will thus feel interested in this design, which, through the medium of British enterprise, sanctioned and protected by tine wis dom and decision of the Government, promises the amelioration of the condition of the natives of the Indian Archipelago, among whom there exists a disposition most favourable to the development et the resources of those countries. The view here taken of the promising character of the undertak ing is not hypothetical, but is the result of the arduous personal re searches of various individuals, who, in times past, have been de sirous of widening the circle of commerce and civilization, and, among others snore recently, of Mr. Wise, who has for several years devoted his tirae to the closest investigation of the subject. To his patient and indefatigable perseverance for a long period in calling the attention of her Majesty's Government to the importance of Lahuan as the site of a British settlement, may be ascribed the tact, that the protection of our flag is now extendetito countries so important both in a political and commercial point of view. The Queen has appointed Mr. Brooke Governor and (' trunancler in-Chlef in and over the Island of Leman and its dependencies, as well as iron Majesty ' s Commissioner and Consul-General to the Sultan and independent chiefs of Borneo. These measures, and the course of poliay which they indicate, will materially faci itate and advance the objects amid interests of the Company throughout the Eastern Ar chipelago. The Company being incorporated by Royal Charter, the responsi bility of each shareholder is limited to the amount of his subscrip tion.

Ills talents attracted the attention of the weed of de noted t t h h a e t ir fa J v o o u u ri r i a a b l, le h e nd praise to which they considered his merits entitle d . ablest chapter to toi .e autobiography, Messrs. Chambers, o in The life of William Thom has, indeed , combined the vicissitudes of a humble child of the Muses, having formed a scene of trials and die t appointments, accompanied by an overflowing share of poverty and distress. Many of his earliest and best years were passed at the llawkhiil of Dundee—the remembrance of which seemed deeply impressed on his mind ; for thither, to use his own emphatic language, he wished to return, like a bird that flutters round her forsaken nest, to spend his latter days in comparative peace and quiet. this v i s hes were fulfilled, for not many months ago he did return font his wanderings, debilitated and impoverished, and breathed his last on Monday, the 28th of February. Ile has left a widow and three infant children, the youngest but Ave months old, totally unprovided for ; and it huts therefore been resolved to raise a fund, in order, if possible, to afford them permanent assistance. A. Cominitcee has been appointed, who have cheerililly undertaken this duty, and al ready they are happy to announce that their call has been responded to in a prompt and liberal manner. Lord Kinnaird, Lord Jeffrey, Messrs. Douglas Jerrold and Robert Chambers, and many others, have spontaneously sent their contributions ; and it earnestly hoped that the charitable the admirers of native genius and un obtrusive merit will support and encourage the laudable object which the Committee have in view. Dundee, March 10, 1848. Contributions will be received by any of the Members of Commit tee; and at the shops of Messrs. Chalmers, Shaw, and Middleton, Booksellers, and Mr. Mi;lg, Perfumer, Dundee. DEATH OF WILLIAM THOM, TILE INVERURY FOET. (To the Editor of the "Dundee Courier.") __ Dundee, February 39, 1848. Sir,- -The painful task has been deputed to me of announcing to the public the death of William Thom, the Inverury poet. For sometime past he had been i n d e li cate and declin i ng hea l t h ; an d his diseased state of body was d ou btl ess aggravate d b y th e uncer tainty of his circumstances, and the consequent anguish of his honourable mid sensitive mind. Yesterday, in our city, at half past eleven a.m., he departed this life. lie has left behind him something more than a name—some true and beautitul strains. wit!2ll, as " a thing of beauty is a joy for ever," the world will not willingly sutler, like the inscription en the coffin, to he burled In the tomb. Ile has left behind him, alas I something Of yet ten derer and more mournful interest—a widow and three children, th 7 eldest of whom is only four years, and the youngest but a few months old. These are " utterly destitute," and but for the kind ness of one or two private friends, might have been cast out ere this to the charity of the streets. I make no appeal in behalf of the poet himself; " after life's fitful fever he sleeps well." Ile hag found what the most troubled and tempest-tossed wanderer will at last find, and which to him was peculiarly grateful—rest. Nor will I indulge or express any vindictive feelings as to the treatment which he received while yet alive. A true poet, he met with tray poetic usage. lie was caressed, but not fed; as if one could sup on incense, or as if one public dinner could keep a man alive for years ! But I would bespeak general sympathy in behalf of his destitute family. I would implore every lover of literature — every one who has derived pleasure from the departed poet's lyrics, or from the simple story of his life—to prove their pleasure and their gratitude true by some more substantial evidence than ex demotions or tears. I would call especially upon those who saw , hint at our late Watt Festiva, and heard almost hie latest breath given forth in those brief, broken, but thrilling accents—accents how far superior to the measured cadences of rhetoric—to testify by generous deeds their sense of melancholy satisfaction that theirs was the privilege of meeting with and hearing hint far the last time. No time ought to be lost. Indeed, no time has been lost Intima• Hone to the above effect either have been, or are immediately to be, dispatched to Douglas Jerrold, Charles Dickens, Lord Jeffrey, and others But as Dundee has had the honour of containing his death bed, let us follow the start we have acciden'ally gained by instant, active, strenuous efforts In behalf of his widow and his fatherless bairns. Messrs. Chalmers, Middleton, ant Shaw, Booksellers, and Mr. rerthmer, have kindly undertaken to receive donations. The smallest sums will be welcomed I am, Sir, yours truly, GEORGE GILFILLAN. The last verses of the lath William Thom, written shortly before his death: SONG OF THE DWELLERS IN DEAN VALE. Tnne—" Miller o' Dee." While we laugh awl sing, in this happy ring, With a bright and a brotherly glee, May we never forget that tho sun hath set On the homes of misery. For oh I it may be that this chill night wind Sweeps round some fireless hearth, Freezing the heart of the homeless one, With never a friend en earth. Then aye, as we sing, may we closer cling, In our bright and krotherly glee ; Yet never forget that the sun may set On the homes of misery. Man was not made for this world alone. The world was lent to man ; 'Tis a debt we owe to Heaven, yon know, Then pay it as well as you can. Now winter rides mad in his carriage of snow, With his peltiug rain and his hail ; May it never be said that hunger and we. Held abiding in bonny Dean Vale. Then aye, as we sing, may we closer cling. In our bright and brotherly glee, And never forget that the sun may set On the homes of misery. W. THOM.
