STARVING PROTESTANTS IN THE NORTH OF

IRELAND

County Tyrone, Dec. 2.
Mw DEAR MR. GROVES,—In acknowledging, with
grateful thanks, the kind and liberal aid you have so
promptly afforded towards the relief of the suffering poor
in this locality. (the amount received by your hands be-
ing now £46,) I am desirous of affording the friends who
responded to your appeal, as well as yourself, the gratifi-
cation of learning that your Christian liberality has
brought joy and gladness to the hearts of several families,
all of whom would otherwise be plunged in despair, with
starvation staring them in the face, and no friendly hand
stretched out to save them. When I first addressed you
a private note, seeking your assistance, I hoped for little
more than would enable me, in some of the most pressing
cases, to satisfy the cravings of appetite for a brief season,
trusting that God would, in His infinite mercy, afford some
means of deliverance from the horrors which seem to
threaten our suffering people. He has indeed graciously
come to our aid already, in sending us, through your in-
strumentality, a sum much beyond our expectations ; and
I am so much encouraged by past success, as to feel can.
guine of yet further means of usefulness being afforded me
from the same source, the merchants of Liverpool, who
are ever foremost in every good work, and, while ready
and willing to aid the starving Roman Catholics in the
southern and western portions of our island, will surely
be found equally prompt in administering out of their
abundance to the necessities of the poor Protestants of
loyal and peaceful Ulster, many of whom are to be found
equally destitute, but with this wide distinction, that
while the peasantry of the outh and west are stimulated
by their deep distress to dads of lawlessness and crime,
the Protestant suffers on in quiet resignation, trusting to
that God whose word he respects, and whose promises he
knows and believes to be sure, that He wil,, in his own
good time, deliver him out of all his distress. Such is the
character, at least, of those on whose behalf I have ap-
pealed to you. They are an industrious, a moral, and
a religious people. On the Sabbath Day our places of
public worship are crowded, many coming four miles, and
the great m rjority of my congregation two miles, t.) hear
the Word of Gud; while, so great is their thirst for mil-
knowledge, that at any time a few hours' notice of a cot-
tage lecture, even in the most remote mountain district,
would be sure to bring together about 100 persons, and
these all the poorer class of farmers and cotters, for of
such alone is my fi ck composed.
I must pray you to pardon my thus digressing from the
more inimethwe object of this letter, which is to acquaint
you in what manner I am turning your remittances
to account. I have for the last fortnight afforded
the means of support to ten families, all of whom, I firmly
believe, would have otherwise been in actual destitution.
From the men and hors of these families I take a return
in labour, having employed them in improvements on my
glebe land ; but where they are unable to work, either
from illness or the severity of the weather, I continue the
support of their families just the same. I have purchased
a quantity of meal, which is given to them at the com-
mencement of each week, in proportion to the number of
their families—either gratuitously or at a reduced price ;
and I now only wait a fall in the markets, and further aid
from Christian friends, to purchase one or two tons of
Indian meal for future support. One of the families con-
sists of nine persons, father. mother, and seven children,
with the immediate prospect of an addition. They have a
wretched bed h scarce'

,oin where all sleep in on, wit►. _.y a
rag to cover them by night or by day. The number of
the families vary, but all are in pretty nearly the same
destitution. To carry on the support of these ten families
would require. I estimate, about £3 per week, and though
some may say what ate these among so many, yet I can-
not but think Ul4 the best principle to act on is to do
what we can, and not to remain inactive because we are
unable to do what we would

I already see good results from my undertaking the
support or these persons ; some of the better class of far-
ood

wing my example, and are giving both
and clothing to the poor around them. I confidently ex-
pect to see this continue, if only I am enabled to perse-
vere, and this I cannot do without further aid. The pub-

nnerCare

cers are pleased to admit. about one in every ten men seek-
ing work, and the meanest of their operations are out of
this remote mountain district, being five miles distant.
The landlords are making great and liberal exertions,

meat to their tenantr

.„, .
but they cannot reach all, and those whose cause I plead
arc not a tenantry, but tenants' cotters, and we must not
expect them to be supported by the tenantry who are in
want themselves. No doubt my case is not a solitary
one ; many similar exist. Let each person then, clergy-
man or layman, use I,is best exertions for his own hnme-
diate ne,gbbours, and Christian charity will .oe called
forth, and the people not be left to starve, while our al-
ready impo*.erished country is to be taxed to support a
staff of engineers, pay clerks, and needy placemen. It is
a time to call forth Christian exertion in the cause of suf-
fering humanity. When the spring corms round, and
the small farmers have consumed the last of their corn,
I know riot what is to become of them. They will then
be as bad as the cutters are at present. Our poor-house
is already full to excess. None more can be admitted.
Let me ask an interest in your prayers that the dancers
which threaten may be averted, and that this chastise-
ment may yield to the people of this unhappy country the
peaceable fruits of righteousness....
..

fam yours faithfully,

P S.—l have added two Roman Catholics to my list.
Mr. Groves, of Rumford-place, we believe, will be

CONCERT.—On Saturday evening the first of a second
series of concerts was given at the new " Clarence Tem-
perance Hail" in Bond-street. for the benefit of that in-
stitution. and went off with much kW. Win. Brown.
Esq. M.P.. and bis lady, and a number of gentlemen were
present. The principal vocal performers were Miss
Whitnall, Mr. H. Dodd, Mr. J. Hornby, and Mr. Ro-
binson, who gave their gratuitous services, and exerted
their utmost, yet apparently easy, efforts to please, and
they fully succeeded. Wm. Brown, Esq., presided, and
votes of thanks were passed to him, and to the siugers

and pianist.
MORE DEATHS FROM BURNING.—OH Wednesday
night, a girl, five and a half years old, named Margaret
Ellen Wet, living in Crown-street, was burned to death,

her night dress, which she was holding to the fire, having
caught the flame. On Saturday, a little girl, named Ellen
Finch, six years and a half old, living in Beau-street, was
burnt to death in the absence of its parents. When
found, she was literally burnt to a cinder. On Sunday, a
little girl, named Maria Thompson, aged four years.
living in Preston-street, died in the Infirmary, from
injuries received from her clothes having caught fire the
Friday previous, when her mother, who is a widow, was
absent.

ANECDOTE OF CANNING.—One peculiarity he pos-
sessed, which is but partially known—his thorough re-
membrance of a voice, and his ability of connecting it at
any interval of time with the party to whom it belonged.
More than one instance of this faculty is remembered at
Hinckley. He was dining with a large party at Mr
Cheshyre's, the medical gentleman before referred to,
when a note was brought in and handed to the host, with
an intimation that the bearer begged to see him for five
minutes. Mr. Cheshyre left his party with reluctance,
and was absent some time. Wi,en he returned, he pre-
faced his lengthy apologies by observing, he " had been
detained by one of the roost remarkable men ofthe day ;"
that the gentleman " was by accident passing through
Hinckley, and could not pause on his route ;" that he
" purpoeed placing one of his family under his (Mr.
Cheshyre's care ;" and that "he (Mr. Chealtyre) was
obliged to listen to ell his arrangements." " I will name
hiM," said Canning, gaily ; " and then drink his health."
" The latter point may be very easily managed ; but ihe
former will, I believe, bailie your acuteness, Mr. Can-
ning." This was said with a degree of tartness ; for
among other affectatiuns which the wealthy quack in-
dulged in was 'that of profound mystery with respect to
the most trivial occurrences. " Your visitor, sir, was
Wilberforce," said Canning, stoutly. " How cent'
possibly discover that !" cried his annoyed host

TH UPS AND DOWNS OF A SCOTCHNIAN.—From the
Tenth Report of the Inspectors of Prisons we make the
following extract:—" A poor fellow named Joseph F—,
committed to Lancaster Castle fur begging, and about to
be discharged in a few days, gave the following singular
outline of his past life :—" 1 was born in Scotland and
brought up a millright. At fifteen years old 1 entered the
32nd Foot, in which regiment I served eleven years. I
was in Spain and Portugal; I was at Quartre Bras and-at
Waterloo. At the former place the duke twice over
placed himself in our square. I received two slight
wounds at Quartre Bras, and two' more, also slight, at
Waterloo. I went to Paris with my regiment, and got
my discharge in 1816. A Polish general engaged me
(through Sir John Rennie) as a millwright, to go to
itoxoaco (Rosienna ?) in Lithuania. I made £l5O a-year
wages for four years, and saved a hundred a-year. I
then came to Warsaw, and learned to brew from a coup.
tryman. I commenced the trade of a brewer in 1821, in
conjunction with two other persons., talso had a mill-
wright concern, and a flour-mill. Some little time atter,
Mr. M'Call, the missionary, came to Warsaw, and I en-
gaged myself to him as interpreter, being able to speak
Rus-ian, German, and Polish. I went with Mr. M'Call
to S . Petersburgh, Moscow, Astracan.' Tobolsk, Arch-
angel, Vi.-nna, 'Rome (where Mr. M'Call dined twice
with the Pope), Naples, Genoa, Sicily;- then through
Austrit into Hungary, Pestb, Brodof (Brod or Brpd ?),
where there are a great many Jews, Cracow, and Wa-
rsaw. During the ten years we were in business the firm
to which I belonged realized about .£30,096, my share
bring £tl.ooo. Then came the bombardatent of War-
saw in 183 U. A child and two of my workmen were
killgd, and all my property was destroyed. I was re-
duc-d to nothing. In 1833 the Emperor Nicholas came
anti 1 sent a petition to him. He granted me an inter.
view, and ertiered are £2OO (in ducats). I afterwards
engaged tmsell as a manager to a brewery ; but the prin.
cipros failed: I then engaged with another e‘tablish-
meat, and made a mere living of it, everything having
been ruined by the revolution. 1 left Warsaw in 1842,
and came to London, where I spent a short time with
Mr. M'Call. Lord Dudley Stuart was kind to me, and
gave me £lO to carry me to the north. I was on my
way from Scotland to seek some friends in Liverpool,
when my money being ail gone I was taken up for bug-
Otg.' This singular story was given in answer to nu.
tnerous questions. - F. does not seem aware that his life
has been more eventfpl than that of other.men."
A large aheet almanac is to be given with the Chronicle
of Saturday next. It contains an original tide-table, and
amaa of important local information. -
