week.

A meeting of the Committee for raising subscriptions in
aid of the widows and children of the persons who perished
in the Fairy, was held here on Thursday, Lieutenant- Co-
lonel Burton, of the Royal Marines, in the chair; when
it was unanimously resolved that the sum of 701. should
be immediately divided amongst the most necessitous. It
was never intended, as has been erroneously stated, that
the subscription should be exclusively for the benefit of
Mrs. Hewitt, the widow of the gallant Captain of the ves-
sel. The gentlemen who originated this praiseworthy ob-.
ject only contemplated that she should share with the
others; but when this intention became known to the
amiable lady, she stated that she felt grateful for tho
assistance offered, but declined being put on the list, at
there were so many persons who had suffered a similar
loss who hid no other resource to depend upon, and sh,
had made up her mind to be content with the allowance
to which she was justly entitled according to her husband's
services.

ponies against the Rosalie colt ; 20 to 1 would.thave been
taken on Coronation ; 1,000 to 15 was offered by a Lon..
dotter against Hawk's-eye, and the same against Black
