TO THE EDITOR OF THE SU\

feel it my duty to acquaint you, in proof of
the severe distresses of the poor at this inclement season,
that five of the fifty men now employed by charitable
contributions in cleansing the Strand, were obliged, !al-
though paid two shillings a-day, to leave their occu-
pation, as their emaciated conditto” was unable to
contend against the severe cold of Thursday.
One poor man actually fell down in the street from
utter exhaustion.-1 remain, Sir, yours obediently,
