SIR —1 shall fevl gfeatly ,:bligeO by your ii,sertirg in

ceived from Colcnel Honner, of the Committee of 13ritish

my correction of its contents, as I am and shall be r,ther.

•• W, dnesday. Fendall's Hotel.
" Sin —lt having been said at our Committee-room,
that y.,u expr,ssed a desire to be of service to any of the
Nriugues.e claimants who may be de.;erving a small pecu-
niary loan until the balance due to them is paid, I have
taken the liberty to give this introduction to the wife of a
sergeant of the Queen's Oar, Ir4ll, who has two children,
;IA is at present in the greatest distress, baring Pawned
vcryrhing she had. She has lately arrived from Lisboar
expecting to receive the balance due to ber husband from
the new Commission, arid I have it not in my power to assist
13,r, and therefore recommend her to apply to you.
•1 Your very obedient servant,
" R lIONN I
I can assure the unhappy disti-essed claimants .that
have never expressed any desire of the kind, as were I to
have done so it would have been the very height of
.absur-
dity, inasmuch as my fortune would not enable me to re-
lieve the distresses of a hundredth portion of them, and
further, by attempting so to do, I should speedily beeoala
poorer than the parties relieved.
It is true that I have done, and am doing what little I
can for them, but this is for the collective and not individual
benefit. Much of my time has been occupied by answer'
ing individual appeals, without having it in my power t('
afford the relict applied for ; some of which havri beer)
from Officers, who, in conskluence of their urgent wantg"
would be happy to avail themselves of the public subscrir
lions now being raised, if reconcileable with their pride
and honour.
One, however, with a wife and family, has begged pie
to make his case and home known. His name is Major
Cotton, now in Lisbon, who lost a leg in the Portuguese
service, and has lately been si;'ported by the voluntari
contributions of the British merchants, whilst the rale
abject destitution, under his helpless position, stares hits sa
the face.
Sincerely hoping that the public will respond to Of
appeal which I have made to raise subscriptions, in era"
to relieve the miseries of the claimants, I have the bon&,
to be, Sir, yours, very faithfully,

MINISTERS WON'T GO!
A TORY'S LAMENT.

" The present Opposition has done everything that alit
Opposition every did, or ever could hue done, towards:
turning out a Ministry ; but notwithstanding the 0,,
notice has been so frequently given, the Ministers WO5
go !"—Morning Post of yesterday.

Tho' hard we strive with might and main
The Whigs to overthrow,
Aid lost dominion to regain—
The Ministers won't go I

As sticks the sub irn limpet race
Fast to the rock, just so
Do Ministers stick fast to place,
And swear they will not go I

We've asked them once, we've asked them twice,
We've asked them thrice ; but, no,
They laugh to scorn ell good advice,
And swear they'vLill not go!

Stanley looks jaundiced with de pair,
Peel black as any crow ;
But what avails their patriot care?
The Ministers won't go !

E'cn Sibthorp's threats appal thew 2G4
Nor Shaw's long phiz of woe ;
Like oaks, they brave our rattling shot,
And swear they will not go !

Last week defeated, one and all,
I thought they'd march; hut, lo
They stuck t'e faster for their fall,
And swore they wouldn't go l

Tho' some of us cried " Shames" and somo
Ejaculated " Oh !"
And others from surprise wero dumb__
'Tomas vain— they wouldn't go !

'Tis my belief, if Satrth's self
(Their patron Saint, you know),
Should say " Be off I" from lust of pelf,
They'd answer, " We won't go !"
