MOST CALAMITOUS INUNDATIONS IN TILE KING-
DOM OF HANOVER AND ITS VICINITY.
A PUBLIC MEETING will be held on MONDAY
II NEXT, the 28th of February, at the City of Landon Ta.
veto, Rwhorgate.street. the Chair to be taken by his Royal High-
nea the Duke of YORK, at One O'Cloek precisely, to consider of
the best means of affording early Relief to the numerous Sufferers
by the recent destructive Inundations in his Majesty's Hanoverian
Dominions, and in the Duchies of Holstein and Oldenburg.
Never perhaps was there a case that called so loudly for the aid
of. British benevolence as the present, when, by a sudden and over.
whebuing calamity, large tracts of the finest country have been laid
under wirer, great numbers of lives lost, two-thirds of the cattle
destroyed, sad many thousands of our German Brethren rendered
bonniest wanderers, and deprived of their all. When it is con.
sidered how large a pmportion of these must inevitably perish
without speedy and efficient interposition, we feel c.mtident that the
powerful and united efforts of the affluent and humane will be
promptly exerted for the alleviation of such accuunilaml miseries.
By order of the Committee,
