with the expression of gratitude fur the roe 0,,

with the following observations:—
" But the gratitude with which we acknowledge &chili li..
berality, is out more real than the painfulness with which we
contemplate Irish dratitutioa. The frequency and the unmet-
glibly of our eleemosynary appeals are truly appalling. Who, t
