the liberality of the Meeting, as Well es that of the
public at large, would enable the Committee to
;out an cud to calamities afflicting to iod•viduala
well deserving ail better tale.—(Applouse.)
ony e rancor with Mr. Russel in deploring 1110. e
calshOties,. which are not only afflicting to the indi-
viduals to whom hr alluded, but degraditig to the
character of the country to whose civibzvumt and
improvement those individuals have contributed ;
for what can be more lamentable than that those
should be condemned to want medical aid under the
visitation of disease, or common subsistence, iii the
evening of their lives, who had devoted all their ta-
lent and education

" To teach the young idea how to shoot ;"
or, alas ! too vitro

" To force the churlish snit for breed."
But let us hope that this stain %spun our notional
character will be soon removed by the liberality of
public contributions towards this excellent Institu-
tion, sod that those who apply their 'muds to enable
others to acquire property, shall not themselves be
allowed to suffer absolute indigence.
The subscriptions for the evening, which were
announced by Dr. Kelly, the Treasurer of the
Society, were, we are happy to say. of a very en-
couraging character. The ladies were among the
most liberal contributors, and wherever they are in-
terested, as they very rarely fail to he in the cause
of merit in distress, the heart and purse of the
public are likely to be open and generour.
