to you the following in-

The Meeting in the City of London, on the subject
of raising a Subscription for indemnifying Sir ROBERT
Yasos for the injury inflicted on him, is postponed,
in consequence of the present thinness of the Metro-
Pits, and of the wish expressed by several Noblemen
Tild Gentlemen to attend, in manifestation of their
respect of that meritorious Officer. In the meantime,
the generosity of the British Public keeps pace with
their love of justice. Very nearly £3OOO are already
s?bscnbed, and we have no doubt that the day of the
City Meeting will be signalized by the production of
the whole sum required to compensate the loss of the
gallant Officer.
