" That mercy we to others show,
That mercy show to us 1"
should be the leading motive of the Christian.
And where has that Divine principle been more
generally acted on than in this great metropolis,
where people of all opinions are even proud to
ink worldly differences, and shake hands on
he altar of benevolence ? This is the true exem-
•lifica,tiun of charity ; audit is in this Christian
pirit we hope to ;witness it manifested for the re-
ief of those whom pinching hunger and the
larkening inclemency of the season doom to
alzery and death.
It were useless here to suggest any course of
proceeding—a good cause needs no prompter
but the heart. Great as is the distress in several
parts of the metropolis, it is not beyond the
?ower of mitigation, perhaps of relief, for
-‘ where there's a will there's a way," and the
mited energy of a few has often saved many.
in this principle we think that stirring Commit-
:ees in certain districts would, by their combined
Laivity, do wonders, by stimulating their fellow-
nen to go and do likewise. No man is too low 1
o do good ; and no man, however exalted,
hould be above following a good example. The
?r•ess of London, always alive to the wants
if the poor, will, we are confident, step forward
with its powerful advocacy in the cause of suffer-
ng humanity. The lady of rank or wealth
•annot sit comfortable in her silken attire, and
•effect that the hand which fashioned her gor-
;eous dress is pining in want, with a famishing
'aridly around crying for bread. No, no !—the
'cry impulse of our nature prompts to
:indness, and deeds of mercy!—the heart
hat feels opens the hand to relieve, and the con-
ciousn ess of good acts returns in after days, when
air own privations may be soothed by the re-
jection that, when opportunity offered, we were
lot unmindful of those of others.
What we have humbly but fervently
;übmitted to the good feeling of the
aetropolis, is equally applicable to other
places throughout the country, where large
;ommunities are suffering. Lamentation is
X no avail without endeavour; people must
work as well as pray; and the benefit even tu-
lly will be in proportion to the energy of the
ne, and the sincerity of the other.

active and untiring benevolence of the gentlemen
who have taken up their cause, among whom

morning on the LORD MAYOR, who received

Alderman PIRIE went further (we hope shortly

DISTRESS IN LONDON
AND MORE PARTICULARLY
SPITALFIELDS

The distress which has recently afflicted severa_
-but more cepecially the
parts of the metropolis,
large and populous district of Spitalfields, is, we
are concerned. to learn, on the increase ; so much
so, indeed, as to call generally for public sym-
pathy and relief.
Deeply alive to the suffering of their fellow.
men, we understand that several Members in the
City, who so generously assisted the poor and
expatriated Poles, have now turned their atten-
tion to the necessities of tneir own countrymen,
whose distress was not so apparent before.
The City of London has long been famed
for its liberality—hut far more for its bene-
volence and charity—the band-maids of virtue.
Acting on this noble impulse, what can
be more honourable to the Citizens of London
than to take advantage of the present ornamental
and attractive state of Guildhall, by giving a
grand Metropolitan Ball in aid of the poor—the
destitute--arid it may be, the dying of starvation
and want ? Sure are that the LORD MAYOR,
whose meritorious career has taught him to feel
" for others' woe" (and relieve it too), will be
happy, if appealed to by his fellow-citizens, to
give his high sanction and countenance to se
pyaiseworthy a manifestation of public feeling.
The Court e erm en, too, will lend their power-
ful aid; and
no one who knows the public spirit
and kinda - f esso Sheriffs can doubt fee a moment
th.:tir cordial cooperation in so good a work.
Alderman MAG •- N, is esteemed by the poor in
his own Ward •
7 and we know that the liberality
of Mr. Sheriff ROGERS is only surpassed by his
modesty in LeStOWiL", it.
Nor will the .
bankers and merchants of London
be appepled to •
in vain when the minister of
charity supplicate • s for their bounty. Of all
nations in the rld •
it is alone the boast -of
Englishmen that they never ask for the charity
of strangers on the contrary, their generosity

The master manufacturers, the Anti-Corn-lav

Committee in so good—so praiseworthy a
cause ! Really this is true charity, and does
more honour to Mr. PIRIE'S heart, than all the
dignity of London could confer on the First Ma-
gistrate of the first metropolis in the world !
The CORPORATION of LONDON have also taken
up the cause as their own ! Nor are
the SHERIFFS as we anticipated, behind-
hand with their fellow-citizens. Heart and good
will are the order of the day. The only
wonder with them all is, that they had
not thought of it before. But better late than
never; and now they are setting about it
in earnest, as if anxious to make up for
lost time. Certainly everything looks very ans.
picious, and the public Press will cordially fan
the flame which benevolence has awakened in
the heart of pity.
But while time flies, the poor starve. Acting
on this maxim, we understand that a preliminary
meeting will be held to-morrow at the London
Tavern, at which that modest but generous phi-
lanthropist, Mr. Sheriff ROGERS, has handsomely
consented to preside, in order to make arrange-
ments for a general meeting of the citizens of
London, and the friends of the poor throughout
the metropolis. We heartily wish their bene-
volent endeavours the most distinguished suc-
cess. " Whogo giveth to the poor, lendeth to
the LORD."

One of the reasons on which the Pro-Corn-law
men resist the abolition of the Corn-law is,
that it would lower wages. If we are to believe
the Herald, Standard, and Post, there never
was in the world such a feeling and humane race
as the landlords. Their whole souls are filled
with an enthusiastic desire to protect the labour-
ers from the grinding tyranny of the cotton
lords, and, regardless of unpopularity—regard-
less of the abuse of a bold and wicked press—
they uphold the Corn-laws to keep up the wages
only
o
of spinners and weavers. The mill•owners, it is
'aid,r
s toinsist on demanding the repeal of the
Corn-laws
beat down the wages of their
workmen, which the kind-hearted landlords will
on no account allow. The Tory press is unani-
mous in describing the mill-oww:Ts as grinding
tyrants, whose sole object it is to beat down
wages, and, for the sake of their own workmen,
tie disinterested and humane landlords maintain
the Corn-laws.

own trade aid increase their own profits. At
the same time they accuse the landlords of be-
