The Committee appointed to raise a fund for the relief of the
Widow and Family of the late William Thom, the gifted but unfor-
tunate Poet of Inverury, beg leave briefly hut earnestly to appeal to
the Public, more especially to the Public of Scotland, in behalf of the
trust which has been confided to them.
The name and genius of Thom are well known and universally ac-
knowledged ; many of the feeling and pathetic effusions of his Rinse
have been brought before the public, not only in a combined form,
but in various periodicals. Ills talents attracted the attention of the
ablest judges ; and the Messrs. Chambers, in their Journal, have de-
♦eted a chapter to his autobiography, and to that favourable meed of
praise to which they considered his merits entitled.
The life of William Thom has, indeed, combined the vicissitudes of
a humble child of the Muses, having formed a scene of trials and dis-
appointments, accompanied by an overflowing share of poverty and

distress.
Many of his earliest and best years were passed at the Hawkhill
of Dundee—the remembrance of which seemed deeply impressed on
his mind ; for thither, to use his own emphatic language, he wished
to return, like a bird that flutters round her forsaken nest, to spend
his latter days in comparative peace and quiet.
llis wishes were fulfilled, for not many months ago he did return
from his wanderings, debilitated and impoverished, and breathed his
last on Monday, the 28th of February. He has left a widow and three
infant children, the youngest but flue months old, totally unprovided
for ; and it has therefore been resolved to raise a fund, in order, if
possible, to afford them permanent assistance. A Commitcee has
been appointed, who have cheerfully undertaken this duty, and al-
ready they are happy to announce that their call has been responded
to in a prompt and liberal manner. Lord Kinnaird, Lord Jeffrey,
Messrs. Douglas Jerrold and Robert Chambers, and many others,
have spontaneously sent their contributions ; and it is earnestly
hoped that the charitable and the admirers of native genius and un•
olstrusive merit will support and encourage the laudable object which
.the Committee have in view.

DEATH OF WILLIAM THOM, THE INITERLTRY POET.
(To the Editor of the "Dundee Courier.")

I)mndcc, February 29, 1648.
Sir,--The painful task has been deputed to me of announcing to
the public the death of William Thom, the Inverury poet. For
some time past he kad been in delicate and declining health ; and
his diseased state of body was doubtless aggravated by the uncer-
tainty of his circumstances, and the consequent anguish of his
honourable aid sensitive mind. Yesterday, in our city, at half-
past eleven a.m., he departed this life. Ile has left behind him
something more than a name—some true and beautiful strains.
which, as " a thing of beauty is a joy for ever," the world will riot
willingly sutler, like the Inscription en the coffin, to be buried in
the tomb. lie has left behind him, alas I something of yet ten-
derer and more mournful interest—a widow and three children,
th 7 eldest of whom is only four years, and the youngest but a few
months old. These are " utterly destitute," and but for the kind-
ness of one or two private friends, might have been cast out ere
this to the charity of the streets. I make HO appeal in behalf of
the poet himself; " after life's fitful fever he sleeps well." He has
found what the most troubled and tempest-tossed wanderer will at
last find, and which to him was peculiarly grateful—rest. or will
I indulge or express any vindictive feelings as to the treatment
which he received while yet alive. A true poet, he met with truly
poetic usage. He was caressed, hut not fed ; as if one could sup
on incense, or as if one public dinner could keep a man alive for
years ! But I would bespeak general sympathy in behalf of Ills
destitute lamily. I would implore every lover of literature—
every one who has derived pleasure from the departed poet's
lyrics, or from the simple story of his life—to prove their pleasure
and their gratitude true by some more substantial evidence than ex-
clamations or tears. I would call especially upon those who saw
him at our late Watt Festival, and heard almost his latest breath
given forth in those brief, broken, but thrilling accents—accents how
far superior to the measured cadences of rhetoric—to testify by
generous deeds their sense of melancholy satisfaction that theirs was
the privilege of meeting with and hearing him for the last time.
No time ought to be lost. Indeed, no time has been lost. Intima-
tions to the above effect either have been, or are immediately to be,
dispatched to Douglas Jerrold, Charles Dickens, Lord Jeffrey, and
others. But as Dundee has had the honour of containing his death-
bed, let us follow the start we have accidervally gained by instant,
active, strenuous efforts in behalf of his widow and his fatherless
bairns.

Messrs. Chainlero, Middleton, and Shaw, Dookmaterei, and Mr
Mills, Perfumer, have kindly undertaken to receive donations.

The smallest sums will be welcomed
I ROI, Sir, yours truly,
GEORGE GILFILLAI.C.
The last verses of the late William Thom, written shortly before
his death :

SONG OF THE DWELLERS IN DEAN VALE.
Tune—" Miller o' Dee."
While we laugh aad sing, in this happy ring,
With a bright and a brotherly glee,
May we never forget that the sun bath set
On the homes of misery.
For oh I it may be that this chill night wind
Sweeps round some fireless hearth,
Freezing the heart of the homeless one,
With never a friend on earth.

Then aye, as we sing, may we closer cling,
In our bright Sid brotherly glee ;
Yet never forget that the sun may set
On the houses of misery.

Man was not made for this world alene,
The world was lent to man ;
'Tls a debt we owe to Heaven, you know,
Then pay it as well as you can.

. Now winter rides mad in his carriage of snow,
With his pelting rain and his hail ;
May it never be said that hunger and woe
Held abiding in bonny Dean Vale.

Thin aye, as we sing, may we closer cling,
In our bright and brotherly glee,
And never forget that the sun may set
On the homes of misery.

SOUTHAMPTON, TUESDAY. —The Ocean Steam
Navigation Company's new steamer Hermann arrived
at Cowes this afternoon, at half past four o'clock. Her
mails, with what passengers she brought for England,
were immediately transhipped on board the Ruby
steamer, which boat had been waiting her arrival, and
conveyed to i his port. There were about eight or ten
passengers brought by the Ruby, and about the same
number proceeded on to Bremen, the Hermann proceeding
thither immediately on the mails and passengers being
put on board the latter. The Hermann left Halifax on
the 29th ult., after having undergone some repairs to
her machinery, which got deranged in a heavy gale. She
is a fine-looking boat, after the Washington model, and
made the passage from Halifax in good style. Her
mails will be forwarded by the midnight train. The
intelligence is of the same date as that brought by the
Cambria.

The Observer of Sunday, April 9, gave twelve
folio columns of Chartist movements, including upwards
of three columns of the Saturday proceedings of the
National Convention. Mr. Feargus O'Connor's speech
at length, preparations of the Government, and all the
latest particulars of the intended demonstration. It
may be asked, why is the Observer enabled on every po-
pular occasion to do so much better than other journals?
The reply is, that the establishment of the Observer is
equal to that of all the other Sunday papers put toge-
ther; so far as regards editors and reporters, the Observer
is on an equality with nearly all the daily newspapers.
The Observer gave a column of Saturday's proceedings
at a meeting of surveyors at Freemason's Tavern,
Saturday's Marylebone Vestry, &c. &c.—Price of the

ARREST OF A MAN IN POSSESSION or SOME OF
TEE CROWN JEWELS OF FRANCE.—The ilioniteur Beige
of the 10th inst. says :—" The/Vouvelliste of Flanders
says that the police have arrested a man, named Van
Doorne, whose wife and family lived in Flanders, but
who was himself a workman in Paris, and occasionally
visited them. In February Van Doorne was in Paris,
but reappeared at Bruges in the beginning of: March.
Contrary to his usual custom, he sported a good deal of
money, which he distributed among some workmen.
This excited the attention of the local police, who kept
an eye upon him. Last Saturday the Commissioner of
the Police was informed by a M. do Voss that Van
Doorne had called upon him and requested him to buy
some jewels. The Commissioner instantly repaired to
the dwelling of Van Doorne, and, after a search of several
hours, succeeded in discovering a small box containing
diamonds of the crown of France, of great value. Among
the jewels was the eagle of the imperial crown, several
stores of which had been already removed. Van Doorne
declared that he had not stolen these jewels, but had
picked them up in the court of the Tuileries."
AVEYNIOUTLI.—A large piece of silver, weighing
about sixty ounces (called by the Portianders Duckey
Stone), was found a few days siric.? On the Portland
beach, by a poor man. A number these lumps of
silver have been found there at various times. It is
thought that there are a great many still left, the re-
mains of a wreck many years since.
