Din SPITALFIELDS.—At a SPECIAL
MEETING of the COMMITTEE, held at the Rectory.
house, Bishopogate, starch 30, 1826,
The Lord Bishop of CHESTER In the Chair.
I t was resolved that the following Statement should be submitted
to the Public :
The Committee who have been entrusted with the distribution
of the money subscribed for the relief of the distressed Silk
Weavers in Spitalfields, have now the painful task of announcing
to the public, that while the funds placed at their disposal are very
nearly exhausted, the distress which they were intendel to relieve
remains undiminished in extent and severity ; in point of fact, it
may be said to have increased, for the relief which the Committee
has been able to allow to persons with families, has been so small
as barely to support them, and that but scantily, with the neces-
saries of life, leaving no provision for the payment of rent, or of
debts. contracted under the pressure of distress, before the coin-

,
mencernent of the subsctiption.
About seven hundred persons who have received relief, have
now obtained a small portion of work ; but their places have been
more than supplied by those who were at work, and are now wally
out of employ.
The Committee have now been sitting every day (Sundays ex-
cepted; since the slst of January, in the Vestry.room at Sokol.
fields Church. distributing relief ; and nearly sixteen thousand per.
sons have been supported during the whole of that time, and are
still supported entirely, upon the scanty pittance which they have
received from this source. The balance now remaining in the
Treasurer's hands does not amount to the sum rtquired for one
week's distribution.

Under these circumstances, the Committee feel it their duty to
make an earnest appeal to the benevolence of those whom Prot i-
dence has blessed with the means of mitigating the distresses of
their fellow-creatures; and persuade themselves that the foregoing
simple and unexaggerated statement will produce such an addition
to their funds, as may prevent the sudden drying up of those
sources to which co many thousand poor persons have to 1.)ok for
the moans of existence.
Amount of Subscriptions received - .C 13,630 10
Amount expended . - 12.100 0

WM. HALE, Treasurer.

GENUINE SYRUP OF DE VELNOS.—The fol-
lowing Letter is an additional and recent Testimony in
proof of the peculiar benefit attendant on the use of the Syrup :
" Half-Ac►e, Brentford, Jan. 19. 1826.
"Madam,—Fully convinced of the efficacy of your invaluable
medicine, I am induced to make the following case known, for the
benefit of those who may be suffering under similar affliction. My
daughter had a severe attack of Typhus Fever in the autumn of
1824 ; her head was shaved, and immediately after it broke out,
and formed an entire scab (so that her ears were scarcely visible),
at the same time discharging a watery humour all over the head,
with a thick matter out of the hole of each ear. After taking a few
bottles of the Syrup she was restored to perfect health, in which she
still remains; another autumn having passed without the least
symptom of a relapse. In addition to the foregoing, I cannot but
acknowledge that, on several occasions, I have received the greatest
benefit from taking the Syrup, but particularly in the case of an
ulcerated leg, occasioned by a severe blow. I beg to add, if Lean
in any way be serviceable, as a reference, in recommentling the
Syrup. I shall feel it a duty I owe, knowing the efficacy of it in
many instances. I am, Madam, your's respectfully.
W. FRANKLIN.
" To Mrs. Canhain, 52, Berners.street."

The great success of this Medicine in Scorbutic, Sappholone,
and Syphilitic Complaints, Pains and Swellings of the Liver, die-
eased Skin and Glands. and all disorders arising from impure
blood, is now too well known to require a detailed enumeratioS.
As, however, imposture, like envy, too closely follows the heels of '
merit, and pretensions to imitate the Syrup, to improve itlor
have discovered something of similar efficacy, may surprise the un-
wary, and fatally mislead the ignorant, Mrs. Canhsm owes it in
gratitude to the public, to give warning of these dangers, and to
refer to those proofs of the virtues and efficacy of her Medicine, as
be found in her publications, which surpass, in number, respects-
hility, and authenticity, any testimonies of a similar kind that have
been ever produced.
The effects of the Genuine Vegetable Syrup are such as sot to
interrupt either business or pleasure; it operates on the animal
juices, and simply requires the common restraint of moderation In
diet. It is a safe hut powerful substitute for Mercury, and removes
all those diseases which an unsuccessful use of that mineral occa-

slows.
The genuine Medicine has a label affixed to each bottle, with the
signature " M. Canham," in the hand-writing of the Proprietor,

TEOPARDY and ESCAPE ; or, SWINDLING
t Y INGENUITY.
In Blllneeht, where priz'd is the durable fame
Of Warren's Jet Blacking, a fair lady came,
In splendid array, to a dlercer's shop door,
And purchas'd of silks a most valuable store!
The tradesman then ent'ring, with grateful expansion,
Iler carriage, the cash to receive at her mansion,
Arriv'd, for a moment the lady retied,
The drawing-mom suite while the Mercer admied ;
At last his companion's return when invoking—
" She's gone!" said a servant, with cosiness provoking,
" What, gone !" cried the Mercer, " gone oft' with my silks !
" So, thus then it is that a tradesman she bilks !
" This is not her mansion?" " 0, no, Sir," " Whose then ?"
" Be calm," said the servant, " your wildness restrain,
"And know that from reason derangement to wile him
" You now are conlin'd in a Maniac Asylum !"
The Mercer array'd in a pair of bright Boots,
Now rav'd 'gainat the female of swindling pursuits ;
" Yes, yes, I am mad," he exclaim'd. " and my brain
" Shall never its wonted serenity gain !"
Il is feelings of fury now mounted so high,
That measures proceeding at once to apply
/1 rigid coercion, the keepers then saw
Their shades in the Jet of unrivall'd eclat ;
And fix'd as they stood, with amazement aghast,
To freedom the imputed lunatic pass'd
0, fortunate event; the swindler was trac'd,
And thus the rich silks in the shop were replae'd.
The 3lercer adverts to ths. chance with much glee.
That set him from duress and jeopardy free •

the punishment due to their ollenees ; for remedy thereof, be it
enacted, that where any prosecutor or other person shall appear be-

And be it further enacted, that if any man shall happen to be

same, or unto some one on his or her behalf, to be named in such
order by the direction of the Court ; ar,d every such order shall b.:
paid by and repaid to the Sheriff, in the manner hereinbefere men.
tioned.
And whereas the practice of indiscriminately estreating recog.
nizances for ti e appearance of persons to prosecute or give evidence,
' or to answer for a common assault, has been found la many eases
productiveof hardship to persons who have entered into the same;
be it therefore enacted, that in every case where any person bound
by recognizance for his or her appearance, or for the appearance of
any other person, in any court, to prosecute or give evidence ire
any case of felony or misdemeanor, or to answer for any common
assault, shall therein make default, the officer of the court by whom

person was so bound to appear, together with the residence, trade,
profession, or calling of every such person, and shall in such list
distinguish the principals from the sureties, and shall state she

EDIBLE ANIMAI s.—The Morooaas, a people on the fron-
tier between the south of Bengal and the kingdom of Avs
(generally known as the Burman empire), seem to have
abundance of provisions. Hogs, goats, dogs. can, fowl.,
fish, snakes and lizards, form their animal focal. Hoge
and fowls they have in plenty; but they have much dif.
ficulty in preserving the awns from the tigers. That
