QO,CIETY for the RELIEF of DISTRESS.—This
Society derives its origin from the following cause :
That, notwithstanding the operation of the poor law and
the numerous existing charitable associations, human
-beings, although within a stone's throw of the plenty,
luxury, and refinement of this wealthy metropolis, die
miserably of hunger and the want of the common neces-
saries of life.
To prevent as far as possible the recurrence of an evil so
disgraceful to our, social system, it is proposed in the first
mstance to establish a co-operative system of visiting the
Poor, by aiding and increasing the power of existing local.
institutions which have this object in view.
To bring to the notice of parochial authorities such crates
as legitimately telong to them alone, Lc, aid the police and
the Mendicity Society, to detect imposture, and to bring to
the care of hospitals, refuges, penitentiaries, and existing
charitable associations those cases for which their, several
institutions were established.
Special and urgent cases of distress ind'neated by the
lerg7--ministers of all denominations, medical profession,
Pior agents of any existing Society, will be relieved as far as
ble by the judicious application of funds entrusted to
strict committees and local rsponsible persons appointed
by them for the purpose.
No cases will be relieved by nioney or otherwise at the
ventral office.
The promoters of this movement now come forward,
not
in any spirit of opposition to existing societies, but, on the
contrary, with the strong desire to co-operate with and assist
"them
worth in
zeal the arand duous task in which they, with such praise-
laboriouy
sly engag perseverance& have been so many years
ed.
They now claim to be met in the spirit in which they
advance, with the sole purpose of furthering, by friendly
intercourse, the great Christian object which all charitable
associations have in view.
The following noblemen and gentlemen having combined
to form a Guarantee Committee, by whom the entire ex-
Penises of management are to be defrayed, the Society now
call upon the public to entrust it with the requisite funds,
Which shall be applied, without the smallest deduction, to
the relief of genuine distress.

should be employed by the functionaries only solely
when they address the population ; it is necessary
shoat this language should be employed. in all grades,
and a;l ports of the administration of the country.
The Fplish language, we may affirm, is not inferior
in richness to any ; its literature for several centu-.
ries has lacen illustrious in all its branches. Already,
in execution of the Sovereign will, the Minister cif
-;tate, your excellency's predecessor, has even us
reason to antie;oate that our language should be re-
sumed in an the institutions of the country as the
language of institetion, its own ri,,Orts being rk..-
served to the Rut hcniian lan gulags. It is aceordi n giy
permitted us to hope t.ltat t he accomplishment of these
hopes will.fonow closely or, the cire.tlar whicli
your excellency declares- that one of the first duties
of the Government is to leave each of the nations
that compose the empire fa: develope, even in the
highest spheres, its intellectual resources, as the
suro means of seeing them enrich themselves with
all that the other languages contribute to human
knowledge. And since your Excellency makes a
point of declaring that the Imperial Government
purposes to favour in every way the development
of intelligence, you cannot fail to admit that for
our nation to respond to these elevated views it is
above everything necessary that its young people
should receive instruction in their mother tongue.
What wehave just laid before your Excellency
is the summary of our political faith, and the
essence of the public opinion of our country: Its
expression has not been dictated by a vain opposi- ,
tion to resolutions -with which the Government has
riot made us acquainted. Our object is to enlighten 1
the sovereign power at a moment when it is of such
great importance that we explain ourselves frankly.
Deign to examine in a spirit. of good will and to
take into consideration all that we have had the
honour to respectfully submit to you. We dare to
hope that in accomplishing the political work
which the sovereign will has entrusted to you, in
the care which
.you will devote to improving the
lot of our nation, you will always give first place to
what is of all things dearest tons—our nationality.
We hope this, for Austria and Christianity owe
to Poland a service which, at Vienna at least, will
not be disputed.
