NAVAL CHARITABLE SOCIETY,

TRAIT OF CHARITY AND LIBERALITY OP CAPTAIN

SIR PHILIP BROKE.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,---111 am confident that.you wilt ever feel
heart-felt satisfaction in communicating to the
Public such traits as wilt. redound to the honour
and credit of individuals:l'shall make 'oti uo
apology' fir 'requesting you to insert the liollove.
iug exttact'of a letter in The Sun.
1 aul, Sir, your obliged humble servant,
A MEMBER of the NAVAL CHAILITADEE
SOCIETY..

" At the late Meeting of our Society, we re-
ceived from Sir PHILIP BROKE a petition, in fa-
vour of the Widow of his late Purser; svho was
unfortunately killed in the gallant action between
the Shannon and the Chesapeake. Sir PHILIP no
sooner learnt that the Committee had ordered the
poor widow a handsome donation,- than he di-
rected to be paid into the hands of the Society's
banker, ten 'guineas for himself, five guineas for.
Lady B. and five more for 'his mother—and this,
too, in addition to his annual subscription of five
guineas, although the modus for a Captain is but
half a guinea. Thus is it, that courage and li-
berality go almost ever hand in hand."

We are authorised to state very positively, that
Madame CATALANI will contract no engagement
this year at the Opera. At her Concerts., which
commence at the Argyle Rooms on the 24th
instant, and continue once a week during the
three best months of the season, she will sing
several pieces of new music and scenas, from sows
of the most admired Operas.
