THE AMAZON AND THE BIRKENHEAD.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE IMPRESS.
SlR,—When the Amazon was lost, meetings were
held, subscriptions were raised, and sermons were preached,
in aid of the widows and orphans; money was even
awarded to those who left their duties to save themselves
(when perhaps three dozen each should have been their
award).
In the ease of the Birkenhead, where four times as many
have met a watery grave, and nearly all of the poorest
class, and consequently leaving those dependent on them in
utter distress, I see no meetings, no royal and princely
donations advertised, save and except the day's pay so
cheerfully and handsomely given by their brethren in the
@marour seaports.
shows plainly how much our sailors and soldiers
en
valued by we who live at home at ease." The same
west of public liberality was evinced in the case of H.M.
alams-frigate Avenger, when totally wrecked in 1847.
