NEWCASTLE.

The offices of the Royal Commissionersof the " Patriotic
Fund" are, for the present, at No. 16a, Great George-
street, corner of Parliament street, Westminster.
The hour' of attendance will be from 11 a.m. till 4 p.m ,
daily. . . . .

The "Commissioners in Aid " of the "Patriotic Fund"
are earnestly requested, without further notice, to take
immediate steps for giving publicity, within their several
j erisdictions, to the Royal Commission, in order that Local
Committees be formed wherever practicable with the least
possible delay.
" Local Committees" will, according to their discretion,
obtain contributions to the " Patriotic Fund," either by
public meetings establishing subscription lists, or other-
wise.
The acknowledgment of individual donations, where
obtained through the " Commissioners in Aid," or by
"Local Committees," must, in all cases, to avoid error
and expense, be left exclusively to the " Local Commit-
tees."

Local Committees are requested to make up their first
subscription lists or accounts in or before the first week in
December next, and to remit the amounts in or before the
following week by drafts payable to the "Patriotic Fund,"
crossed " Bank of England," to the Secretaries of the
Cdtnmission, or direct to the Bank of England.
Total amounts only, as transmitted by Local Commit-
tees, will be acknowledged at fixed periods in two London
daily newspapers.
Donations, subscriptions, and contributions to the " Pa-
triotic Fund," other than those paidito Local Committees,
will be received by the Secretaries at the offices of the
Royal Commission as above, at the Bank of England, and
by all London bankers. Acknowledgments of the receipt
will appear, from time to time, in the London papers above
mentioned ; but it is hoped, that no separate receipts or
acknowledgments will be required from the honorary
secretaries, whose duties will be otherwise sufficiently
laborious.
