DISTRESS in SPITA LFIELDS.—At a Meeting of
the Committee, bolden in the Vestry-room of Christ
Lurch, Spiialtields, September 4. 1826;
The Rev. RICHA RD HARVEY in the Chair;
Ike Committee feel it their duty again to entreat the Public to
tenthsce their Subscriptions fur the Relief of the Distressed Weavers
Spitalfiehls, until at least it can be seen whether there is any
PrVet of a revival in the trade. More than 8,000 persons are
wholll dependent for support on the pittance which the liberality
of the Piddle tnables the Committee to afford them—a pittance
which t& ethausted !We of their funds has compelled them once
?me is tedqee. Many new cases have been sent to them fur re-
lief in the cour,e of the past week, and they are fearful that the
number of persons employed will for some little time continue to
decrease.

The Committee are anxious that at least the responsibility
dmontinuitig the Relief should not rest with themselves, and they
feel assurttl that that feeling of charity, which has induced the
P!lithe to proceed so far in assisting their muttering fellow-creatures,
will excite them to continue it a little longer, in this their greatest
hour of need.
