as that life peenat appal is heel exclusively upon motives
of humility. At the soma tams, while they ~..inim mpg
object of a polliCioel character, they cannot possibly&my
that their desire to omit in relierine the °knurlier la
imams& by the consideestioo of those oinnaosemaose
haveltTaY led to the present ceteetrophe.
The Baal meth of forty yeas of determined mistime to
the semis of Russia is the deportatio• of the three pincipal
tribes of the Western Ornomme. The resources of their
country having Poems exhaisted, and the energies of he
population wore out by the mtrectod Ample, they have at
last submitted to as overwhelming amenity, and are now
and man% the palatal process at erpulsioa from the mem-
try to which they have shown themselves so peculiarly st.
niched. We may, indeed, measure the degree of pepsine
ands which they an migrating to Turkey by the vigour
with which thew hem resisted the socroachnitoots of their
eationes through this Wag course of years.

As there lino circulaing medium in Circanda thole
mountaineers arrive at the coast utterly destitute. Ship
provided by the Turkish government convey them to I
Trebtroade and other ports oo the northern shores of Asia
Minor. The mortality during this short voyage ham been
in many inassoes fearful, and typhus fever end smallpox
have already swept off thousand, of man women, and chil-
dren. The government has takes most soergetic
steps to mitigate this misery, and we sea credibly assured '
that a sum of 50,0001. has been devoted by the Sultan him-
self to conveying the Ctromidans to Constantinople, housing
them when there in ranges sad &aphid& and sending
them in small colonies as settlers into the interior. The
necomitisa of a whole nation, however, tax the charitable
reeonroes of Turkey beyond what they can bear. It is,
therefore, earnestly hoped that the public, in the trite spirit
of our saloon' generosity, will contribute towards helping
the Circassian to reach the land provided for them by the
Turkish government, and towards keeping them alive until
they can work for themselves. As these poor people have
hese reduced to their present oconditioa by no fault of their
own, but, on the cootrary, are suffering in consequinee of
the very seal and ardour of their patriotism, se they have
so choice left them a. to their fate, but are compelled to
face pestilence and starvation, and as their only daire is to
find that peace elsewhere which ham hitherto been &clad
them in their own country, and to earn their bread by
honest industry, they have the highest claims upon our
charity.
It is calculated that in the course of the next two
months a population of 300,000 souls, a large proportion of
whom are women and children, will be cast, starving and
half oaks& upon the shores of Asia Minor.
The committee trust that the circumstance that this
nation is obscure and little known in this country will not
deprive it of the sympathy of the pudic. Nor should the
fact that the misery in on such a gigantic scale dishearten
us in our attempts to relieve it. Whatever money is col-
lected and subscribed in Ragland will be applied to the
relief of the most urgent cases of suffering. The late Sultan
himself set us an example which we might now gracefully
follow when he subscribed 1,0004 oat of his own pores to
a fund which hat been raised in this country to relieve a
distress in Ireland almost as vast io it. &manioc&

Subscriptions will be received by Messrs. Ran-
som and Bouverie, 2, Pall-mall East; Messrs.
Smith, Payne, and Smith, Lombard-street, City;
and Mews. Roars and Co., Fleet-street.
