From the National IH,siiigenesr.
We had occasion short time repubsh from the
Army and Navy Chronicle article the Loss Of the L.
:. Schooner GrAmpus which, Judging from feel
lns have awakened the breasts Of those who read
the wagmcs emotions OF sympathy for the surviving rc-
uycs OF the Officers aud Crew OF the unfortunate vessel
We happy perceive that the sympathy thus Ncitcd
has not been expended the mere cXptssOn OF regret
but has resulted ~ subscription which meets ready wei
from every any way connected with the Navy.
We wrong, think, the belief. and certainly
in the hope, that TINS noble charity will likewise find much
vita the commercial portion OF people; and that
shipping merchants, insurance offices and merchant
senuen OF every grade, wall come forward with their mic'
of contribution t. tins object.

ish Government surveying ship Fairy, iounderod the
OF England, subscription raised Tor the rre OF the
widows aud orphans u the ships company o $4,000 and

HOrnby and family, the OF PERSONS nearly

Such the feeling manifested by the British Govern
ncnt ana 10y the English people lhe chaIlty was active
and brought comfort the widows hearth and proeisiun
and protection the atherless. That people have
broad and prompt charity any the earth is csan.
But spread over continent, aud Is difficult 10 II hron
