OF THE METROPOLIS.

IMPRESSED with sentiments of the deepest grati-
tude fur the assistance already so generously bestowed, the
Committee most sincerely lament the necessity which impels them,
a second time, to address the Public in behalf of the UNEM-
PLOYED PRINTERS OF THE METROPOLIS. The
Printing Business, which has for many months suffered an almost
unexampled depression, still exhibits but little, if any, signs of a
favourable change; the wretched situation therefore of those who
have for so long a period been deprived of the means of providing
for the urgent wants of their Families, may easily be imagined;
their sole support being derived from the Contributions of the Be-
nevolent, and the Subscriptions of suck of their Fellow-workmen
as remained in partial employment. Should this resource fail,
which the present exhausted state of the Fond renders more than
probable, they can anticipate nothing front the approaching Winter
but the extremity of human misery. To avert, if possible, this
impending fate, the Committee again most urgently appeal to the
humanity of a British Public, trusting, that under such circum-
stances, further assistance will not be withheld.

In thus urging the claims of their Distressed Brethren, the Com-
mittee cannot deny themselves the gratification of adverting to the
Important and inestimable benefits which the PRINTIIII, by the
exercise of his Profession, has conferred upon civilized society ;
when it is considered how much the Art of Printing contributes
to the amusement and instruction of mankind—and that, without

the instrumentality of THE PRESS, the sublimest efforts of the
human mind would, in a general sense, have been written in vain
—they venture to indulge a hope that the feeling which such re-
Sections are calculated to excite in the minds of all in the least de-
gree attached to Literature, will, of itself, prevent the possibility of
an educated and respectable bedy of men, being utterly abandoned
to poverty and despair.

The Committee think it their duty to state, that since the date
of their first Appeal to the Public, needy SIR HUNDRED
INDIVIDUALS have received Relief from the Fund—the sum
awarded Weekly to each Person was proportioned to the number
of his Family—ranging from 3s. 6d. the allowance of a single man,
to 10s. the highest sum that could be extended to the most severe
and complicated case of distress. Though ►mall* this relief has
proved most serviceable; and the Committee can with pleasure
say, that it has rescued many worthy men, and respectable Fa-
mines, from the lowest degradation of poverty.

The Committee thankfully announce the following Donations
and Subscriptions received during the last Two Weeks
