FAMINE RELIEF FUND for the DIS-
TRESSED DISTRICTS of IRELAND and SCOTLAND.
TO THE 3.7081L1TY, GENTRY, CLERGY, AND COMMONALTY

OF THESE REALMS.
The Famine with which it has pleased Almighty God to visit the
sister Kingdom, is now beginning to be felt there in all its
dread reality.
The Government, with an a. tivity and energy that do honour to
its humanity, is anxiously applying itself to the task of alleviating, as
far as may be, this most fearful of visitations, by providing for the
people the means of employment ; but such measures, of necessity,
demand time, meauwhile the people perish.
In this frightful emergency, the Committee of the National Club,
appeal earnestly to all, of whatever station, age, creed, party, or per-
suasion, to come forward and rescue their fellow-creatures from the
must horrible of deaths.
By o we►l-considered and matured system of organisation, which
they propose to adopt, a check will, on the one banal, be provided
against Imposition on the part of the applicants for relief; while, on
the other, security will be ensured for the due administration of the
public bounty ; the want of which precaution was on a former and
somewhat similar occasion so deservedly complained of.
The Committee, in conclusion, pledge themselves to a rigid
scrutiny into all claims upon the fund—to its Immediate, judicious,
and Impartial distribution, without regard to religious or political
distinctions—and to the fullest publicity as to the expenditure of
every shilling.
Since the foregoing was drawn up, the accounts received from the
Highlands of Scotland are such as to have determined the Committee
to Include them in the contemplated measures or relief.
By order of the Committee,
(Signed) RICHARD NUGENT, Hoe. Sec.
