.liar satisfaction the anniversary of that anipicions day,
which, in the glorions, the unrivalled Field of Waterloo, hai
given Peace to Enrope.

noured names, which have paid with life, the price of Vic-
tory—the Committee hare loolied,with amtious,„solicii ode to

dispensable duty. The fatherless children next el:limed their

In •the early'progress of the Subscription, the Committee
wertt necessarily incompetent to form any conjecture ax to its..
final onootht, and they were equally ignorant of the number .
of each Oaks which Might eventually claim ther attention ;
.whilst. the knowledge of these facts a'as obviously requisite
to the ultimate formation of a scale of distribution. But the ,
.necessity of immediote assistance in miimerous eases, re- •
chided the idea of delay : the Committee therefore trans-
mitted money by one of their,hlemberi, to the Army zbro::.l,
and sit the some time dispensed relief to the most pressing;
cases at home.
- They liave subsequently investigated with the greatest di-
ligence and attention, each claim presented to them ; and j-IT
the performance of this lahr.eirms task, they took intq
denition various plans of distribution.
Foreseeing the incalculable evils which might result from
an indiscriminate payment of money—;from improyiuent ma-
nagement, ,or train other tnitises) which to the parties midst
be. productive, rather, of injury Oak of benefit, and instead
of ividing to the sum of human happiness,,might tend to di-
its anionut, the Ctimmittee resoled on a -certain
principle of. distribution the best adapted, du their apprelte4r.
sion; to shield the orphan from neglect or oppressionr-to
rear to maturity in moral and industrious habits, the Chi!.
don of the killed—to guard the weak against the dangers of
tikie`Own imprOvidenee, and to secure the unprotected Wi-
doW against Oie.impositions of fraud.
These considerations led tha Committee to a getnital pre-
ference in favour of Inalienable Annuities.

It is intended to grant to the Widows generally, Life Au-
unities.

To their children, annuities to the age of seven, and from
seven to fourteen an increased moonlit, adequate to their:
maintenance and education. A gratuity also,: on attaining

'MRS. MARDYN.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Ss a,. Arundel-street, Stiand.

Accept,l beseech you, every feirent aetinowledgment which
the heart can dictate, or an unpractised pen express, for the,
protection which your columns have volunteered to a defence-.
less and calumniated woman:

Por several months past, my feelings have been harassed,
otid my spirit depresse) almost into' despair, by a persecution,
the most unprovoked and unifecountable that the rtcurds of
slander can supply.
Witliot one accidental error, nay, without one equivocal
:circumstance in 'My conduct, my trami has becn.associated,
;inder every ernel twiety Of inventive Malire, with the recent
- domestic diAagreements of a Noble Family. t cannot expa:-
nate on so delicate a subject. Respect for the (et:hugs of
my superiors would willingly impose upon' me ithsolute
silence ; but there is a regard which even the huniblest
indi-
ridtial owes to its own moral character, and to the opinion
of siietet;'-osaratiount to all other considerations. It is this
imperious sentiment which now compels me to protest; in the
most sacred as well as public manner, that the Nobleman
eluded to never mitt me but within the walls of Drury-lane
Theatre. That about twenty sentences would comprise the
total of conversation with which I was honoured by him, and
that these sentences were .cleliveted, molt probably within
hearing, and mast certainly within view, of the *bole as-
sembled Green-room !

This plain statement, which even the hardiest malevolence
Cannot contradict, will, I trust, be considered as a sufficient
explanation from me on so embarrassing a subject. I feel,
most isainfully fed, the cruel indelicacy of the,sittiation into
which my persecutors have driven me. To obtrude myself its
a private capacity upon the public attention, is an apparent
presumption, which I would have embraced almost any mi-
sery to have avoided. 'Phis coarse has, however, becoMe sit
last inevitable to me. My farther silence under injurious re-
port would have bean construed into sin admission of its
truth." How, whence, or wherefore, slander, so utterly un-
provoked, has thus preyed upon my name, I wish not even to
guess, but will merely a►dd, that my situation in society, while
it exposes meta every insult, denies mu the power of resent-
ing one; and that I arn a friendless, unprotectt;d Female, 'MO.
tirely dependent on the public estimation. fur my.support.
This at.knoWledgment of my helf►lessne.ss will, I am con-
vinced, be my future strength with all generous and feel.
ing minds.
I have the honour to subscribe myself,
