CANADIAN SYMPATHY WITH

IRELAND.

A correspondent of the British Colonist (Toronto
paper) writing to that journal, says:—'• Weighing for a
moment tie fearful distress in Ireland, and the Isles and
Highlands of Scotland, relatively with the desire of the
Government to better their condition, it is not to be
doubted that the number of emigrants who will arrive,
during the coming summer and autumn, at the several
agencies, will far exceed that of any previous year. In
the several cities, towns and townships of Canada, every
..xertion has been made,. and is making to all,viate the
dreadful sufferings of our brethren in the United King.
dote, by contributions for the supply of food. While
accomplishing this, it seems to me, that we should not
lose sight of the abject state in which, we have good
<round for the belief, m .rah, of the emigrants will arrive
here during the year 1847. The state in which many
reached here last year, with not more covering than
would hide tfieir n ikedtu impresses me with the
!ea that we should be prepared for yet worse scenes.
_daily of us are every day casting aside what we call old
4arments, but which would be esteemed as velvet'and
rifle linen,' by these poor creatures on arrival,—many of
is still have, in our wardrobes, articles unused, and
virtually cast aside, that would serve to temper the
wind to the shorn lamb.' Could not a joint committee
be appointed to call for, and to receive such contributions
(et a depot to be provided there or), iu anticipation of
tae arrival of our starving" and ill-clothed fellow-coun-
trymen ?"
TORONTO RELIEF COMMITTEE. The committee
state that from letters received by them, from all parts
•)f. Upper Canada, there appears to be scarcely a town-
.hip that has not organised a relief committee, collect.
Ing contributions—sometimes by school districts—some-
Imes by concessions, or other convenient land divisions.
In general, the subscription lists contain:double columns,
one set for the bcottish and the other for the Irish fund,
thereby enabling such subscribers to divide or appro-
priate their mite according to their own judgment or
*melination. In. some places in the country, besides
the double columns for money contributions, there
is a third set for contributions in any kind.
In the Hume District the committee has applied
to millers in various localities, who have
consented to receive and keep in store at their mills
subject to the disposal of the committee, such con-
tributions in kind as may be brought to them in aid of
he general fund. It occurs to the committee that
the millers throughout the province could give most
effective aid in collecting contributions of grain and
provisions, by each putting up a notice on his mill to
that effect, and then communicating with the nearest
relief committee in the district. By this means, it
,night reasonably be anticipated that no inconsiderable
quantity of grain and provisions might be ready
at the various ports on our lakes before the opening
of the navigation. It is of much greater importance
that attention should be directed to this mode of raising
contributions, since it has become known that the
British Government will pay the Atlantic freights, and
there is a well-grounded hope that our colonial farmers
will remit or have their charges on all cargoes intended
t'or the relief of the destitute at home.—Britesh Colonist.
him RELIEF FUND.—The following memorandum
has been sent us for publication, through the secretary
.o the Committee :—'• We understand that the Irish
Relief Committee of this city have sent two gentlemen
to purchase 2,0001. worth of flour at Buffalo, to be
shipped forthwith, yid Boston or New York, through
the British consul, as it can be bought cheaper and
,ran,initteil stieether in that way. They have also
passed a resolution recommending to other committees
,n different parts of the province the sending to Ireland
at once, and without waiting for the opening of the na-
vigation, the donations received, which can be done
in the above manner, as relief will be more seasonable
if given without delay, than hereafter, when the sup-
pliesd from Government and the next harvests would
render relief less valuable or necessary--most certainly
no time should be lost."—lbid.
