• We have been much interested this morning,
,and trust we shall be able to interest our Readers,
especially those in and about London, in favour
of a numerous class of labourers who are at this
momentliterally in a state of starvation. That
this calamity is evideutly temporary, and requires
only immediate relief without imposing any per-
manent liurthen, will be a strong inducement to the
humane and charitable to exert the:mates iu Walt

it this season assembled in great Numbers round
the 'Metropolis, and who, owing to the uaseasoa•
able weather, have been prevented from earning
an'honest livelihood by their own industry.

It is almost incredible to what extent of distress
.these 'unfortunate persons have been reduced.---,
Tbey are willing to 'work, they have come
from. great :distances to toil at the hay-harvest
in the Home Counties, ,and it is only from
twforseen and extraordinary causes that the t are
!secluded fromi fulfilling their commendable pur-
pose. Here, then, is a case worthy of relief.--
`l'hese are not waggon drawers, travelling about
to levy contributions. An' example will suffice to
that while they suffered the utmost priva-
tions, they conducted themselves in a_ resigned
and peaceable manner, which, though' highly to
their credit; was hardly to be expected ilOlll their

lituation.

Gentleman, whose benevolence in other re.
spects we have bad occasion, to notice,. and whose
name yve will now, out of respect to his teelingsi
retrain from mentioning, having ascertained the
dreadful truth that in' the vicinity Of his seat
.(near Barnet) . many of the poor hay-makers were
netuaay without bread, and had been destitute for
several days, went himself to the market house of
that town, and calling all the strangers of this dem
scriptiou about Imn,,listributed a half-quarters loaf
to each, of about- a hundred and fifty individuals.
The next day, yesterday, the number of am*.
...cants for this bounty amounted to. three hundred
and oinoty-eight, and this morning seven hundred
and seventy-six 4.turving
,creatures were relieved it
Barnet alone. To the honour `of that Parish we
ought to say, that its Hector immediately on learn.
log what bad been done by the worthy Geutlemaa
to whom we have alluded, called a Meeting of the
Inhabitants, where it was agreed to add a dons•
tins of Cheese and other aid, to his liberal gift of
Bread. This has been shared accordingly, and
to-morrow morning another distribution will .0o
Made.

While we indulge in a nationalpride at record.
ing these honourable acts of prompt humanity, Wf
must not forget that our object is to• point then
out as patterns 'for other . places. ^ At the hour
e write the weather, thank Heaven, looks more
favourable ; but still it is dreadful to think un the
hardships. to Which . these our wretched fellow
Beings 1,11,4 been exposed. We have no doubt
this notice' will procure them relief, for we address
it to a Noble. People. All we have then to say
to hint at discretion in its application, for indls..
criminate Syr ill-judged prOdisallti 'Will do-bares its
the pursuit

The succour ought to be given in the same-
manner, or nearly the same, as at Barnet.
Bands of bay-makers begging in the streets of
London ought to be discouraged`; or at' least
passed to some place of general relief, instead of
being the objects of private charity.
Persons from distant ►arts are more destitute
than those who have parochial settlements, awl
therefore require more aid.
Let these matters be considered, and we recom-
mend the unfortunate hay-makers to the moll °f
our Readers.

CARLSRV Ilk, JULY 9.—A letter from Viiilipsbnrg of the 7th,
contains the following passage :—" Last night our re9t,
which we so intieli needed, after 'natty days. incessant la-
bour to keep the Rhine within its hounds, was ,disturbed
in a distressing manner. The ringing of bells. and the
sound of cannon, as signals- of distress, -anapnneed the
dreaded breach of the dyke, Where the Saalhach falls into
the Rfhine. Thu dawn of 'the day chewed a lake of tunny
hundred acres, where The finest corn-fidds and meadows al e
destroyed by the Hood. The distress of the inhabitants, who
suffered su much last year by the quartering of troops aril
supplying the magatittes, is tarry great. All the neigtiboat-
itig districts suffer more or less from similar-causes.
