A Committee, consisting of the above named Noblemen and Gen;
flemen has been formed for the purpose of raising funds, to be re-
nate& to the English Consuls in the French ports, and to the authori-
ties In the English ports of arrival, for the benefit of the numerous
British artisans, labourers,
•domestic servants, and others, who are
now daily arriving in this country, having been forced to leave their
employ-meats in France, either by the tyranny of the French mob, or
by the saspension of the establishments in which they were engaged,
:consequent on the recent Revolution.
The Committee some days since placed a stun of money at the
db&POSal of the Foreign-office, to be distributed amongst the British
COnsuls at the different French ports, for the fbgitives. They have
had, the. pleasure of receiving, the following communication: from
her Majesty's Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs :
Extract of a Dispatch from her Majesty's Consul at Calais, dated
March 22, 184 S.
" I am sending off to-night by the General Steam Navigation Com-
Dany's paeket to Londoa, 81 distressed subjects, including children,
I have also received dispatch No. 7, of the 20th instant, transmitting
to me copy of a letter from the Committee established to relieve Bri-
tish Workmen, refugees from France, and communicating to me that
a certain sum will be placed at my disposal for the purposes contem-
plated by the Committee ; and of which I have already, to a small
amount, availed myself in anticipation. For this aid, as well as for
that afforded in the granting of free passages by the Government, I
can assure your Lordships that not only those who receive the bene-
fit, but those who. are awes e—as I and many others are—of the great
Misery which it contributes to alleviate, are deeply grateful."
Upwards of 200 refuge's arrived in the port of London, oa Sunday,
the 19th instant, chiefly from Boulogne, being chiefly Scotch and
Irish. Of these el were dispatched per steamer to Dundee, 112 to
Edinburgh, and 12 to Hull, making in all 205. Many others were
sent to various parts of the provinces. Every adult was provided
with 2s. 6d., and Is. additional for each child, to meet casual re-
quirements,
There was a further arrival in the port of London of El refugees
from Calais, and 70 from Boulogne, on Thursday.
200 morn aro immediately expected from Folkestone and Dover,
and many hundreds may be expected via Havre in the course of a
few clays.

GAS LIGHT—PURE as a BRILLIANT.
METROPOLITAN LIGHT COMPANY.
Gas Fittings anti Golden Gas Burners—Thousands desire Gas-
light—lts simplicity, power of light, and economy recommend it :
but to burn Gas without injury to health is the grand object. Gas
burning from the Fish-tail, Batswing, and Argand Burners is ex-
tremely pernicious—Not one in tea thousand knows its ill effects—
Gas burning from these burners generates an acid which positively
eats holes in steel—What then must it do to the constitution ?—The
Golden and Comet Gas-burners annihilate all difficulties—The Light
Is the gem of light—The obnoxious effluvia arising from Gaslight is
absorbed—Gas and Oxygen are properly united, what more can be
done?—All who regard health will lay aside their present Gas-
burners. Those who require as-fittings can make their choice from
a vast variety of Chandeliers, liall-lanthorns, Brackets, Pendants,
Ste., all ready for immediate fixing with the Golden or Comet
Burners—All Gas Fittings at wholesale charges, 40 per cent. under
the exorbitant charges usually made. Contracts entered into in any
part of the kingdom.
