SPITALFIELDS DISTRESS.

HE COMMITTEE of the SPITAL-
FIELDS and BETHNAL-GREEN ASSOCIA-
TION acknowledge, with heartfelt gratitude and thanks,
' the following benevolent subscriptions, in aid of the unfor-
tunate Silk Manufacturers of this populous district.
• The Committee beg to assure a generous Public that the
privations and misery which upwards of FIFTY THOU-
SAND HUMAN BEINGS now endure, can hardly be
imagined, and were never of a more appalling description.
The number of poor individuals wholly out of employ is
daily augmenting; and even those families who have work
are unable to support themselves without charitable assist-
ance.

The Committee, in 'a particular manner, venture, most
respectfully and earnestly to appeal to the powerful pa-
troage and philanthropic support of the Nobility and
Gentry of this great Metropolis, in the cause of suffering
humanity. The smallest donations will be gratefully ac-
knowledged and discreetly applied in coals, food, and
Clothing to the greatest objects of public bounty.
Subscriptions are received by the Right Hon. the Lord
Mayor, at the Mansion-house ; Sir Wm. Curtis, Bart.,
Roberts and Co. ; and Messrs. Whitmore, Wells, and
Whitmore, bankers, Lombard-street ; Messrs. Drummonds,
at Charing-cross ; and Messrs. Coutts, in the Strand, have
also kindly undertaken to receive whatever charitable do-
' nations may be presented at their respective banking-houses
for the above-mentioned laudable purpose.
Every information will be promptly afforded by the
Churchwardens of Christ Church and Bethnal-green ; or
• by the Secretary, at his Office, 37, New Broad-street, City.
ROBERT BRUTTON, Secretary.
