I RISK DISTRESS.

A Meeting was held yesterday in the Parish of Cripplegate,
to receive the report of the Treasurer on the sums collected in
aid of the Subscription for the Relief of Ireland.
The Rev. W. HOLMES, Vicar, was called to the Chair, and
stated, that from the books placed before him, he was happy 7
to inform the Meeting £l7O had been collected. The Chair-
man then read some communications that had been transmitted
to him by the Honorary Secretaries of the Dublin Committee,
detailing their proceedings.
Mr. JOHN ATKINSON said, he could not refrain trom con-
gratulating the prOmoters of this laudable subscription on the
success their exertions had been crowned with, and when
the burden of their own poor was recollected, it was gratify-
ir.g to the benevolent mind to find that so large a sum should
have been collected in their parish in little more than one day.
It was certainly a matter of regret that the public assistance
had not been sooner called into action, for he recollected, so
long back as February last, the Editor of a respectable Even-
ing Paper (he alluded to THE Sus) had received information
of the approrching distress, and had, with an alacrity the most
praiseworthy, set on foot a subscription, but which unfortu-
nately had not been rupported j• others of the Public Press.
He had received pleasure from the communications that had
been read to them by their Rev. Chairman, and as he con-
ceived much public benefit would be derived from the London
Committee coming as early as possible to some resolution as to
the cause of the existing distress, to the recognition of some
remedial principle which would prevent its recurrence, and to
the suggestion of such measures for the consideration of the Le-
gislature, that the I oplation of Ireland may in future enjoy
those advantages they are entitled to from their Union with Great
Briain, he should therefore conclude by offering to their consi-
deration a resolution, embodying the substance of the observa-
tions he had made.
Mr. EBENEZEIt TAYLOR commented on the resolution
proposed with considerable ability, and suggested some altera-
tions, which were agreed to, and the following Resolution was
unaninuntsly adopted :
" That this Committee are highly gratified that the Dublin
Committee have so judiciously given their attention to the im-
portant inquiries relative to the causes, extent, and best means
of remedying in future the present alarming distress in Ireland,
and they earnestly recommend to the London Committee to co-
operate with them for the purpose of discovering correctly the
results thereof, and giving publicity to the same."
The Vicar, Churchwardasis and Mr. ATKINSON, were de-
puted to attend the London dommittee, with the above Reso-
lution, and the balance of Subscriptions.

Yesterday, a General Meeting of 'the Subscribers connected
with the Association for the Relief of the Manufacturing and
Labouring Poor, was held at the City of London Tavern,
Bishopsga te-str eet.
Lord Dortovarr took the Chair, assisted by Lord Suffield,
Right Hon. J. C. Villiers, Mr. Mortlock, S. Bosanquet, Esq.
Joshua Watson, Esq. W. G. Parker, Esq. Bodkin, Esq.
&c. &c. &c.
The object of the Meeting was stated to take into considera-
tion whether any reserve should be made from, the remaining
fund of the above Institution, for the general purposes of the
Committee; or whether the balance of the fund should be di-
vided between the Mendicity Society, and the Subscription for
the Irish Poor.
After some conversation the Question was put by the CHAIR-
MAN, when it was determined on to call a Public Meeting for
this day fortnight, to consider of the propriety of voting the
sums alluded to, to the objects mentioned, on which tbe Meet-
' ing broke up.

NEXT WEEK.--The Birth Day of our late
revered Monarch, Next Tuesday, is the day
fixed on for drawing the State Lottery • and as
the whole is to be decided in One Day, the
Two grand Money Prizes of Twenty Thousand
Pounds, and all the other Money Capitals and
small Prizes, must be drawn that day. Bisu's
Offices appear to be the favourites ; perhaps
this is because he sold in Shares both the Two
last Prizes of T wenty Thousand Pounds ever
drawj.
