uestitution both to .LAiverpooi and in Ireland,
and the very handsome sum of £B2 14s. was collected ;
which collection will be divided equally between the funds
for Ireland and those of. the District Provident Society.

this division had arisen from ti

circumstance that

starving Irish, and that of 1,080 persons who had received
relief from the district Provident Society within the last
few days, 765 were Irish. •

PRAISEWORTHY GENEROSITY OF 'WORKING MEN.—
The Liverpool Mercury, which seldom omits an opportu-
nity of throwing out dirty insinuations against parties to
whom he is politically onnnsed rpG‘rr-liur last week to a

collection for charitable piirpose's made by the men in tne
employ of Messrs S. and J. Holme, stated that such
collection had been made under the coercion of their
employers for a Church of England Society. Of course,
those who know the character of these gentleTT,Tll be

prepared to find the Mercury's assertion a
The collection, which amounts to £22 55., was
made voluntarily by the men, unknown to the Messrs.
Holme ; and it has not been given to the church society, or
any Society as yet. We believe, as it.emanated from the
sympathy felt by the men for the sufferings of their poorer
fellow-countrymen, that it will be given, one half to the
District Provident, and the other to the Liverpool Chari-
table Society. The effort does honour to a body of men
who, themselves in the employment of good masters,
although in this severe weather many of them must be
temporarily out of work, can recognise the claims of
others who are less fortunately situated.
