• ENGLISH CHARITIES.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sta,—Observing in your paper a letter, in which public attenti•n
has been very properly drawn by Mr. George Robins, in respect of a
recent rescue from death of a drowning man at Leith, by the prompt
exertions of a brave man, named James Carnie ; from this round
unvarnished tale, it should seem that it is alone to the bravery and
kind-hearted feeling, and at the peril of his life, that a human
being has been thus saved from death ; yet this is one of the
many cases that are daily occurring throughout the country. We
hear of them and coldly compliment the intrepid ' man who
has risked. and in very many cases lost, his own life in the humane
endeavour to save that of a fellow-creature. But this in not all ;
the poor man himself, or the widow and children whom his kind
heart has thus reduced to poverty and mental distress not easily
imagined, and certainly not to be described, are left to deplore his
loss—his bravery and accompanying sacrifice is reported in the
papers as an every-day occurrence, and in one single week
the poor but brave fellow is altogether forgotten. Now, in
a country like this, where charity holds a higher place
In public feeling than any other throughout Europe—where
ingenuity seems almost to have been puzzled to and out what is left
undone or wanting to render still more of benefit to our distressed
brethren, it is not a little singular that it has never occurred to the
benevolent that there needs a stimulus to induce a man to risk his
life in the hope of saving another, at the peril of losing his own. I
know full well that Scripture is full of quotations, and comfort to re-
ward the good men who are ready to encounter such fearful risk and
sacrifices, and I also know thatithere are many of the really good who
will repose on this thought alone, and seek nothing beyond it. Now I am
of opinion an institution is loudly called for to which all such cases
should be submitted, and from whose funds every one will find a
cheering, a pecuniary solace, a little more substantial than the cold
reward of having done a perilous duty. If the Baron de Rothschild,
or Mr. Baring, or Mr. Hannan, or a hundred others included in the
term millionaire," would only propose an Institution of this kind, it
would be adorned by such a list of subscribers as would amply testify
there are in great abundance those who will willingly encourage the
brave and kind-bearted by something snore substantial than praise.
February 15. HUMANITY.
The brave fellow (Carrie), whose case is above alluded to, in ad-
dition to his bravery, seemg actuated by no small degree of gratitude.
He thus writes to Mr. G. It—:—‘4 The success of my attempt was of
itself a rich reward, and the spontaneous sympathy, the kind feeling,
and the knowledge that soy exertions have been so greatly and
immediately responded to, will act as a powerful incentive to re-
newed exertion, should I be again placed in similar circumstances."
