The extremely dep resse d c i rcums t anc es of vast numbers of the r community, and the necessity of adopting some effectual means for - ••• - ` r 101 Provernent, long occupied the minds of the benevolent and. Philau throple in Qeotland. A art from the destitution induced by gratuito us criminalit y , i t was evident p that much of the distress of.the humbler classes arose out of circumstances over which they had little or n nn or drives numbers of th 0 control. In aggravation lon o d f uorthwernepovilspui, lontdioignentocer, e tt :mra pestiferona dwellings where co ccu n p ti 3 - , health or lives are sacrificed, and whence those of the blidie classes own also are invaded. Although possessing fields of employment capable of remunerating if properly cultivated, the highland fishermen and crofters are freq uentl y in destitution, reuring the actual starvatio q n. i intervention of public charity to avert Although Scotland boasts a number of charitable institutions, it possessed no organization for aiding the industrious to raise them selves from destitution, or to prevent their falling into depressed circumstances on the failure of employment, until a number of in fluential and benevolent persons, in September, 1846, determined to act upon the principle successfully carried out in England, of forming a great national institution, which should seek to improve generally the condition of the labouring classes, by various means adapted to that And, and accordingly the Scottish Patriotic ,Society was in stituted. The distinguishing features of this society are, its non-political and non-sectarian character, and its antagonism to pauperising ten dencies—its groat objects being, to enable the poor to help them selves ; to develop the resources of the land, of the sea, and of the colonies ; and to demonstrate how the labour of the otherwise un employed and indigent classes may be applied therein, so as to sup- Port and remunerate themselves, thereby indirectly f elieving and benefiting the whole community. It must be evident, that if agri cultural and similar societies are useful to the intelligent, the organization of the Patriotic Society is unspeakably more necessary to the uninstructed and destitute. The emergency is great, and the field of exertion a wide one, but experience has already demonstrated, that the efforts of the Patriotic Society are telling effectually where they are so much needed. Hitherto the pecuniary means at its disposal have been too limited to enable it to ent e r so ex t ens i vely upon its labours as Is necessary, and its promoters confidently make the present appeal for extended Means of usefulness. E very one i s more or less direct l y i n t er ested i 1 the success of its attempt s t o i mprove the sanatory con diti o n of the humbler classes and to raise them from mere paupers and con sumers, into the successful and self-supporting producers cr f„ood, as it is impossible f or th e S oc i e t y t o e ff ec t sanitary Improvements in the dwellings of the humbler classes, and to augment the produce of the country, without benefiting the 9144. 041 3041 Th, Oten Immo the victims of pestilence, and , 74 3 ,¢ 94( / NO. 17,328.] LONDON, MONDAY , ,t ---- rou,t, without such industrial improvements, submit to pay hither prices for food, consequent upon numbers having to be supported in idleness out of the general stuck. That the tendency of the means adopted by the Patriotic Society is to effect these Improvements, is beyond all question, and it solicits the investigation of the intelli• gent community, the principles involved, not being matters of indif ference, but lying at the very foundation of national prosperity and safety.

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 dwelliegs fur the labouring poor, is now desirous of commencing a new attempt, of, it may be hoped, a still more impor ant character. - Its past operations have been as follows :- 1. A range of cottages, on a site, where cottages only were admit sible, called Model Buildings; in Bagnigge-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 ibr the Society, in George-street, St. Giles's. In this house 104 single into are provided with separate sleeping apartments, and every other desirable accommodation, at the oharge of 4d. per night. All these establishments are full, the rents are regularly paid, and the inmates are very thankful for the advantages they receiv.i. Tile number of persons now tenanting the Society's houses is 320, while in various parts of the country their allotment tenants are 556. These three 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 g • eneraly. 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 found, 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 endeavouring to gain possession of one of them, but it will be necessary, in order to their effecting this object in a proper and sufficient manner, that they shorld first raise a sum of 5,0001 or 6,0001., 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 of 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 for 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 pay, and they entreat the affluent and the charitable to give them the means of still further demonstrating this important fact by actual experiment. It cannot be toe often repeated, that while our poor are forced, as at present, to crowe together, all ages d sexes in the same sleeping apartment. the preservation of either health or morals is rendered all but an impossibility.

We have this week to announce an entire change in the Proprie torship of the " Hull Advertiser." Mr. William Bettison, 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, utmally.so important 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; ne fresh combination of party associations. The late Proprietor had nothing more at heart than that the " Hull Advertiser " should always be found the faithful and fearless advo cate of liberal opinicns; and the hands to which he has entrusted it have never penned a sentence which a Fox, a Grea , a Hominy, a Mackintosh, or a Cobden could have objected to as favouring mono poly in trade, inhumanity in law, bigotry in religion, or corruption in Parliament. Ile who was the Editor for the last sax years, and who, during the whole of that time, was guided In his treatment of all public questions by the free mid undisputed exercise of his own unfettered judgment, is stil Editor, and one of the two Proprietors to whom the Paper now belongs. The other has for some years conducted the pecuniary business of the office, and will continue to confine himself to what the Chancellor of the Exchequer would call " the Ways and Means " department—an important one in a 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 forced on the late proprietor by the necessity of extending his regular trade as a brewer. The most satisfactory way of placing this before the public will be to quote the following letter from Mr. Bettison to the Editor:— " 18 . Charlotte-street, Hull, March 21, 1843. "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 ' Hull Advertiser,' and that the sole proprietorship of the paper is now vested in your self and Mr. Marling. " When, many years ago, I became one of se veral proprietors, and in 1844, the sole proprietor of the Hull Advertiser,' I made tlf, my mind never to part with it, un l ess t o some one as stro n g l y devo ted to the support of true Reform principles as I was myself. The management of newspaper property was far from being as con g enial to my habits as the business of a brewer, which I inherited from my father ; but I looked upon the Advertiser' as a pu blic trust, which I felt bound only to deliver to one capable of carrying - out the ob jects for which it was first purchased for the Reform party. For six years you have been its uncontrolled, irresponsible Editor. By the fearless and able exercise of your talents and your industry, you have obtained for it a larger circulation, and a more commanding influence than it ever possessed before ; and such is my unbounded 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. Illy son Samuel, as you know, Ms-become my partner in that iinsiness, and it requires that all our emerges should be employed in carrying It on with spirit. This is sewage of :competition, in which to do one thing well is enough for one establishment. " In Mr. Marling yon have a-trustworthy col'eague, and a safe man of business. During his management of the affairs of the Ad vertiser office he possessed, and proveit 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 earnest 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 Hull, may be continued on the old footing. You can hardly represent yourself as less free from all poli tical influence, on my part, than you ever were. Let us then retain Ike old intimacy so gratifying to us all. Yourself 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 mere compe tent for ttrir respective parts. Indeed, I know that your labours must be crowned with success, if merit meets with its due rewar d. "I am; my. ear Sir, "Yours very affectionately. " WILLIAM BETTISON. " E. F. Collins, Esq." This letter is all that we could wish—all that the public can rea sonably desire in the way of explana.lon of a change, which will not be felt either in the political tone or in the general management of the "Hull Advertiser." The new Proprietors have few professions to make, and are content to rest their success on the extent and flde lity of their endeavours to deserve it. One promise the editor may make to the prop's. The " 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 will never be found supporting corrupt and ambitious men at the expense of great and enlightened principles ; nor attocking the foundations of law and order to court an ephemeral popularity. Not that we wish the shadow of doubt to be felt as to our political principles. We are Liberals In the most general interpretation of that term. We are the advocates of Free- Trade—Church Reform—Law Reform—the supporters of an ex tended Electoral Franchise—of the abolition of the Navigation- Laws—the University Tests—the mockery of Official Swearing— Capital Punishments—and for the substitution of Peace for Military principles in the "goNernment and control of all the nations of the earth. We are strongly in favour of a system of National Educa tion, and look upon the schoolmaster as the great regenerator of our social system. It will be our peculiar study and our greatest 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 chiefly 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 part of our contemporaries. The great mission of a free press is not (ulna 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 bickcrings 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 circulation to make the engagement upon which 'a e have entered a profitable one. To stand still would be to obtain a remunerative share of success. But, with the blessing of God, we are not destined to enter upon what, hi 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 found, 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 day 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 more to be done than would suffice to constitute the twelve labours of Hercules. With these views, and with an earnest determination to do all in our p ower to redress the real grievances of every class and party of our fellow townsmen, we enter upon _the more extended sphere of our p ubli c duties. We ask from all extensive support, and generous sympathy and encouragement. The " null Advertiser" is most extensively circulated in Hull, the East Riding of Yorkshire, and North Lincolnshire, and is therefore an excellent Advertising Medium for professional ge ntlemen, agrl culturis's, auctioneers, c ommerc i al agents , kc.

CLERICAL, MEDICAL, AND GENERAL LIFE 'ASSURANCE SOCIETY. REPORT OF T tiE DIRECTORS. Presented at the Annual General Meeting, held at the Society's Office, on Thursday, March 2d, 1848. Having, at the Meeting held in January, 1847, presented to the Pro,,rietors and Assured a very full account of the Society's affitirs, your Directors have but little to communicate on the present oc casion. It may, however, be satisfactory to those now assembled to learn that, notwithstanding the increased and active competition arising from the yearly establishment of many new Life Assurance Offices, the business of this Society still continues to advance. In proof of this, it wUI be sufficient to state the following facts : I. Tho number of Policies granted on the lives of Clergymen. a class of persons 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. H. The Society's Income, which was 116,3821. In the year ending June 30th, 1846, a i owned to 122,906/. in the year ending June 30th, 1847. 111. The number of NEW POLICIES issued within the year has been 513, and the amount assured thereby 287,079/. Being an increase, both In the number of policits and in the sum assured, over those of any preceding year. In conclusion , the Directors are happy to inform the Proprietors that the Society has net ill any degree suffered from the great mor tality which has prevailed of late throughout the kingdom, the claims, both in the course - of the year ending June 30, 1847, and also within the six months ending with December last, not having equalled either in number or amount those of preceding years.

TRAINING INSTITUTION FOR NURSES FOR HOSPITALS, FAMILIES, AND THE POOR. All who are prsfessionally conversant with the condition of oar Hospitals complain of the inadequate supply of well-trained nurses as an evil seriously interfering with the efficient discharge of their du ties. They cannot trust to their orders being executed by the nurses, and they find that the patients suffer from faults of those on whom, in their state of helplessness, they are almost entirely depen dent; and it is obvious that any defects in the tempers and charac ters of those who are constantly with the sick must exercise a hurt ful influence upon the state of their minds, and must tend to neutral. ze the effect of the religious instruction and consolation which they receive while In the hospital. It is also natter of general notoriety that great difficulty is found in ninf-neor i n it wn rol. a a n n d d w at it t families,n obtaining well qualified nurses to attend on patients in private p its tryingaiThdepraelisrpofulkdenutolefs. effectual, upa t en h rg o bh dtaehpyeso sick ihfcteknh nurses isf m e yta i h d eew d ffi middle rh e e oc respectiveat ua Shall effectual, a, lowerlremedybt pa classes; a s sgr taught for ere:so: theseas looknn dd parochial clergymen feel the want of competent persons on whom administering to their bodily wants. l e i m a p m ta in t d a u re nde n :s e t n an m di self-control, their work as a religious one, to undertake it with habits of The w and it . . preparedordOrders for n f has been felt in other countries as well as understanding f o ul m l t persons devoting themselves to the sickexisti Roman Ca tholic countries : anl . visiting Institution of Deaconesses" has been found useful in Prussia ; a recent attempt to improve the respectability of professional nurses h tration whi • as worked beneficially in England. The Insti ch it is proposed to foundunder name of " the name Training Institution for Nurse," will be based on the doctrine and discipline of the Church of England; not by and it will seek to accomplish its object, selecting the self-devoted few who are permitted by freedom from other duti es to give themselves entirely to this, but by endea vouring to act, b ot h directly and indirectly, I y, upon the whole body of o persons who are pursuiug this as raise the character of the class b y offering to its members a training which shall qu a lif y them for their professional work, and be at the same time essentially a religious training; Iwho are justified in seeking for it, the to 'old out, to those .o w ba position than they could otherwise obtain of a hig o he a r ff p o r r ofessi afford also to l n ; and t those who are ready (without hope of any earthly reward) to give themselves to this work as one of Chri • stian love a legitimate field cf labour: these are the means which, as they I in forming the high character of th e clergy ilve bee i n su o c f ce E ss h ful land, may, it is hoped, be new instrumental, an under God's blessing, in raising that of a body which is at present so much in want of improvement. •It is proposed that the Training Institution should be under the immediate superintendence of a clergyman of the United Church of England' and Ireland, as Master. That the inmates of the Institution should consist of three climes 1. These under training as probationers. 2. Those who, after passing through the period of probation sa tisfactorily, are admitted as nurses, on condition of their engaging to continue in connexion with the Institution for a period of five years from their admission. Daring this period they will be cloth e d and maintained, and receive a fixed asinuai stipend, and in return will entirely tHaler the control of the got emiltig body of the In stitution. At the end of these five years they will be entitled to recei ve f rom the Institution a certificate of their qualification as nurses, thenceforward to pursue their calling, either in connexion with th e Institution, or independent of any direct .control from it. It i s be lieved that this will be a very Important step towards gradu a ll y lass. A having this raising the character of the whole h c osition nurse than others, will certi- be cats will necessarily occupy a hig likely to set an example which can sc re arpcelay looking forward to this fail to have a good effect upon them, and --vitt encourage those who as their work in life, to follow in the same course, and submit 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 system like poor, or of educating others for it under an o r g anised that which Al ill be here provided for them. The management of the Institution will be confided to a council of of twenty-four members, (exclusive cf the master, who will 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 ono payment, or in several payments within four years, or 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. The Lord Bishop of London has sanctioned the plan now sub• mitted to the public, and has kindly consented to become President of the Institution. It has also received the approbation of the Lord Archbishop of York, and the Bishops of Liehfleld, Salisbury, Gloucester and Bristol, Ripon, and Norwich. The Rev. C. Wordsworth, D.D., George Frere, Esq., and Dr. Latham, have kindly consented to act as Trustees to the Insti tution. henry Sykes Thornton, Esq., has consented to act as Treasurer.

The objects of this Company are to carry on mining, agricultural, and trading operations in the Eastern Archipelago, and the acquiring and disposing of lands in the Island of Labuan and the parts adjacent —a region abounding in mineral wealth, most fertile in all the valu able tropical productions, and very happily situate for the purposes of commerce. The Island of Labuan has been formally taken possession of by the Crown of Great Britain ; and, by a treaty with the Sultan of Romeo, many highly important advantages are permanently 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 new era as regards those regions, has commenced, which affords the most fa vourable opportunity for successfully accomplishing 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 on 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 Borneo, and is, with the approval of her Majesty's Governtaent, now held by Mr. Wise, with whom arrange ments for its working will be made. 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, and to the steam communications which are now carried on, and others which are about to be carded on in con nexion therewith, is a matter of peculiar interest, and eves of na tional importance. The Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company, for instance, disburse more t: an 130,0(101. annually for coal for their steam-vessels, of which suns about 90,0001. are ex pended in coal used to the eastward of the Cape of Good Hoe. This coal. as well as the requisite supplies for the steam-vessels of her Majesty's navy, and for those of the Honourable East India Com pany on the India and China stations, is at present chiefly furnished from England, at an average cost exceeding 335. per ton ; so that tho expenditure by her Majesty's Government, the llonourable East In dia Company, and the Peninsular and Oriental Company for the sin gle item of coal, will be considerably reduced as soon as the opera tions of the Eastern Archipelago Company are sufficiently matured to admit of pelt' supplying_the several depots which have begn esta blished at Hung-Kong, Singapore, and other places, with coal for the use of the many British and Foreign ste. m-vessels re7orting to those ports. saute means at no distant I . istr a 1 i a d i Ti s lc e o a e l t t o e p t a i It - , : n l i t eo e four e rc e o r Aa t l ain increase in the consumption of coal in the eastern c se b it a s 4 aa o s ni a tli d e Ta. e r. ag an s d e , s a c l , r i e ja ad at y f i a l l en e t v lo e i i i i e t t l an ly d ta th a e ag o a p ic e i t i fi t n t g be of u o s t e he o r f period, steam er_d t,I o probableiii betweentti :l t i e communicationt various h o eutsw Britishee n Singapore b, satthe talents t the east of Amerrica—as ward of the Cape of Good Hope and the west coast blished in s 3 e settle of t 1 e - imbawell as the system of railways now about to be esta 'turnery.° consult-1p T o re events eminently calculated to occasion an plied at comparatively n moderate br rates.

The proximity of -I - ava, Sumatra, Siam, Cochin-China, Ilif.nan, Manilla, Celebes, &c., is not only of great importance in this respect, but also as affording the means of introducing with facility from those places Chinese and other wit,. 'lists, 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 Singapore to Hong Kong ; and in the district of Sarawak every protection and encouragement will be granted by Mr. Brooke in fu , therance of the Company's objects. In short, every circumstance justifies the anti ciration that the late proceedings of the British Government relating to Borneo, if followed u; with vigour by the operations of 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 beneficial commerce; bringing the advantages of progressive civilisation to a large and fertile tract of the globe, and conferring extensive benefits on the commerce and manufactures of Great Britain. Tile philanthropist and the statesman, as wel as the merchant, will thus feel interested in this design, which, through the medium of British enterprise, sanctioned and protected by the 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 cf 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 t.f commerce and civilization, and, among others more recently, of Mr. Wise, who has for several years devoted his time 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 Labuan as the site of a British settlement, may be ascribed the fact, that the protection of our flag is now extended to countries so important both in a political and commercial point of view. The Queen has appointed Mr. Brooke Governor and C. mmander- In-Chief in and over the Island of Labuan and its dependencies, as wei as her Majesty's Commissioner and Consul-General to the Sultan and independent chiefs of Borneo. These measures, and the course of policy which they indicate, will materially facilitate and advance the objects and 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. The charter provides for the execution by the shareholders of a Deed of Settlement, to be approved by the President of the Board of Trade.

SEClETkitlf—Mr. William Boyack. The Committee appointed to raise a fund for the relief of the Widow and Family of the late William Thom, the gifted but unfor tunate Poet of Invertuvbeg leave briefly but earnestly to appeal to the Public, more especially to the Public of Scotland, in behalf of the trust which has been confided to them. The name and genius of Thom are well known and universally ac knowledged ; many of the feeling and pathetic effusions of his muse have been brought before the public, not only in a combined form, but in various periodicals. Ills talents attracted the attention of the ablest Judges ; and the Messrs. Chambers, in their Journal, have de voted a chapter to his autobiography, and to that favourable meed of praise to which they considered his merits entitled. The life of William Thom has, indeed, combined the vicissitudes of a humble child of the Muses, having formed a scene of trials and dis appointments, accompanied by an overflowing share of poverty and distress. Many of his earliest and best years were passed at the Hawkhill 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. His wishes were fulfilled, for not many months ago he did return from his wanderings, debilitated and impoverished, and breathed his last on Monday, the 28th of February. He has left a widow and three infant children, the youngest but flvd months old, totally unprevided for; and it has therefore been resolved to raise a fund, in order, if possible, to afford them permanent assistance. A Committee has been appointed, who have cheerfully 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. Deuglas Jerrold and Robert Chambers, and many others, have spontaneously sent their contributions ; and it is earnestly hoped that the charitable and 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.

DEATH OF WILLIAM THOM, THE INVERIIRY POET. (To the Editor of the "Dundee Courier.") , 29 148. Sir,—The painful t as k h as been deputed to me Februar of announcing to the public the death of William Thom, the Inverury poet. For some time past he had been in delicate and declining health ; and his diseased state of body was doubtless aggravated by the uncer tainty of his circumstances, and the consequent anguish of his honourable asd sensitive mind. Yesterday, in our city, at half past eleven a.m., he departed this life. He has left behind bins something more than a name—some true and beautiful strains. which, as " a thing of beauty is a joy for ever," the world will not willingly suffer, like the inscription on the coffin, to be buried in the tomb. He has left behind bins, alas! something of yet ten derer and more mournful interest—a widow and three children, th 7 eldest of wkom 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 beets 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." He has 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 truly poetic usage. He 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 clamations or tears. I would call especially upon those who saw him at our late Watt Festival, and heard almost his 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 him f.,r the last time. No time ought to be lost. Indeed, no time has been lost. Intima• tions 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 accidentally gained by instant, active, strenuous efforts in behalf of his widow and his fatherless bairns. Messrs. Chalmers, Middleton, and Shaw, Booksellers, and Mr Mills, Perfumer, have kindly undertaken to receive donations. The smallest sums will be welcomed I am, Sir, yours truly, GEORGE GILFILLAN. The last verses of the late William Thom, written shortly before his death:— SONG OF THE DWELLERS IN DEAN YALE. Tune —" Miller o' Dee." While we laugh a'id sing, in this happy ring, With a bright and a brotherly glee, May we never forget that the sun bath set On the homes of misery. For oh ! it may be that this chill night wind Sweeps round some tireless hearth, Freezing the heart of the homeless one, With never a friend on earth. Then aye, as we sing, may we closer cling, In our bright and brotherly 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, you know, Then pay it as well as you can. Now winter rides mad in his carriage of snow, With his pelting rain and his hail ; May it never be said that hunger and woe Held abiding in ttormy 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. TH02.1.
