OCIETYfor the RELIEF of DISTRESS.—This
P•--7 Society derives its origin iron the following cause:—
That, notwithstanding the ope ration of the poor law and
the numerous existing charit: sble associations, human
beings, although within a sto-ao'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 t he recurrence of an evil so
disgraceful to our social system , it is proposed in the first
instance to establish a co-operative system of visiting the
poor, by aiding and increasing -.the power of existing local
Institutions which have this objo 3t in view.
To bring to the notice of paroc'hial authorities such cases
as legitimately lelong to them alone, to aid the police and
the Mendicity Society, to detec t imposture, and to bring to
the care of hospitals, refuges, penitentiaries, and existing
charitable associations those ca sea for which their several
institutions were established.
Special and urgent cases o f distress indicated by the
clergy—ministers of all denor linations, medical profession,
or agents of any existing Soc',ety, will be relieved as far as
possible by the judicious apr )lication of funds entrusted to
district committees and loctil responsible persons appointed
by them for the purpose.
No cases will be relieved by money or otherwise at the
central office.
The promoters of this MOVE ment now come forward, not
fit any spirit of opposition to existing societies, but, on the
contrary, with the strong desire to co-operate with and assist
them in the arduous task in which they, with such praise-
worthy zeal and perseverance, have been so many years
laboriously engaged.
They now claim to be met in the spirit in which they
advance, with the sole purpose of furthering, by friendly
intercourse, the great Chvistian object which all charitable I
associations ha-sc in view,
The following noblemen and gentlemen having combined
to form a Gliarantee Committee, by whom the entire ex-
penses of lannagement are to be defrayed, the Society now
call upon the public to entrust it with the requisite funds,
which slatill be applied, without the smallest deduction, to
the rel:iet of genuine distress.

Every exertion has been made to hurry forward the far-
t:l9Am of the Sc)eiety, which commenced its operations on
the Ist of Jar.uary, 1861, in those districts where, in. the
opinion of tl.te Central Committee, the requisite prepare •
tions had been made.
The machinery will be proportionately increased and
perfected as the operations of the Society extend.

explainedSE•T DISTRESS IN, TRADE
" GOVERNMENT UPON FIRST PRINCIPLES."
The cause is there predicated of the monetary difficulties ex
perienced in 1860. The Crisis is at hand. Anxiety in busi-
ness has now become the grim torture. Purity of motive,
intelligently exercised, must animate all Governments, or all
is lost, All denominations of Conutions are carefully
examined in J. Grossmith's "Government upon First Prin-
ciples."
