" MT DEAR SlR—Had 1 been aw■re of the meeting of
Monday last, 1 shook, have been present, in order to testify
my hearty coucurre•ce in the object fur which it was •aarm-
bled. The ashore of t►e distress in Ireland jastalme the
contribution of every Rae who can &Beliefs its sawing
emseequencew The d•atrurtioe of the potato crop ammo
to have been a visitation of Providence, and the inability of
the other classes of the natives to give them relief appears
to be a roping f the ►eturn to a metallic standard by
the Act of 1819, railed Peel's Bill. It is impossible to con-
ceive that the Parliament will coatinue to sanction the
collectioa of titles, rents, and tithe., its • currency which
it takes twenty per cent. more of all commodities to ob-
tain, and it may be expected that no future call will be sada
by our unfortunate fellow subjects. Uudoubtedly the *s-
ere..e of bemetrokiice may be impaired by the belief that our
charity is • gift to the absentees, temporal and spirituel, of
that hitherto wise d country ; but it is some !ICUs( to
the political economist, in giving elect to bus emotions of
commission, to recollect that their eapatriatio• has been
partly effected by the omen of the &dish sod Irish Par-
fleineuts.

" Perhaps a Puor Law is indispeosable where prop►ietor,
are mot resodeol, because the overseer would Crisis ma. of
t►s property of the country, to 111,0 those who partly give to
property itevalse, its utility, and its existence, from the lass
of that share of it whieb ke.p.l thew, hum starvation.

" Were •o other breeds to be derived from our sobserip-
lieu thee the petite& of the people of Ireland to the people
of Britain, it world probably be a sufficient cosnrasation;
it would at least chew that the errors of the State, and out
the feelings of she ustioa, were answerable for she horror*
with w►ich they are sarrounded; and a. the g meat of
all eouutries must sooner or suer yield to ibis desire of t►w
public, the famishing native who outlives these awful timer
way eouteusplate the doemtiuue we seed as the harbiagen of
a happier era.

• :to the diffusion or the Gospel. t►e eataaeipatiow of
ogee% sad to ouc► charities as yours, we may ascribe the
wawal aseendsecy w►ic► God allows as to hold over Esau.
