DEPTFORD AND GREENWICH
UNEMPLOYED RELIEF FUND.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE Eii'REAS.

Silt,—The unusual recurr.ence of severe weather,
and the incresubed demands made upon our very reduced
funds, compel us to appeal once more to the generous and
more wealthy of the public for further assistance. We
beg to inform you that the distress in our district is almost
as great as that which prevailed during the winter months.
The many thousands of iron shipbuilding artisans and
others connected with the trade of the Thames able ap-
pear to have no chance of improving their present sad con-
dition, and their wives sod families are still suffering very
great and terrible privations. Up to the present time we have
relieved 10,000 cases, representing 45,000 persons, to the
amount of 4,00 W., with food, coals, loan of blankets,
clothing, t payment of national and other school fees, re•
demptitm of workmen's tools, tv.c. Our committee have
no desire to continue the relief beyond a proper period,
but in the absence of any prospect of employment, and the
prevalence of such inclement weather, they feel that the
demands made upon them are deserving of consideration.
We beg therefore to solicit the support and subscriptions
of the public for a few weeks lunger,iby which tune we trust
that the necessity for further eudeavours will cease to
exist. The Earl of Shaftesbury has kindly consented to
preside at a public mese ing at Blackheath on Friday, the
29th inst., and we beg to direct the attention of the public
to our advertisement in your columns of this day.—We
are, be.,
