M. SOYER.

A few friends of Mons. Soyer, in testimony of the
estimation in which they hold him for his private
worth, and more particularly in admiration of his phi-
lanthropic exertions to ameliorate the sufferings of the
starving Irish peasantry, purpose inviting him to an
entertainment, to take place at as (early a period as can
be found practicable. Those of his friends who may
desire to act as stewards, will be kind enough to com-
municate with Mr. Absolon, No. 2, Haymarket, Hono-
rary Secretary.
