THE WHISTON FUND

THE Press has so unanimously supported Mr
WIIISTON in his triumphant efforts for Cathedral and
Educational Reform, and its voice has so repeatedly insisted
upon the obligation of the Public to reimburse the expenses
incurred in his protracted litigation and the loss inflicted upon
him by the unjust and cruel deprivation of his salary f,Jr up-
wards of three years, that his friends think the time has arrived
to make an Appeal for that purpose, and thus to show the sense
entertained of his invaluable exertions, by which all Cathedral
establishments must become, ere long, what they were designed
to be—great and substantial benefits to the community.

The expenses and losses of Mr. Wit ISTON in his contest with
the Dean and Chapter of Rochester amounted to upwards of
1,500, and it is confidently believed by those who have as-
sisted him from the first, that the Public will not only not
suffer him to be a loser by his exertions in the cause of Educa-
tion, but will further show in some suitable manner their
sense of his services. About '6OO has already been received,

ing Gentlemen :
