RELIEF OF THE CITIZENS OF MADEIRA
The subscriptions in Boston to purchase a
cargo OF food, to send by the barque Maui
titus, to the STRIVING inhabitants Of the
island of Madeira, have been pretty success
full. Over $4,000 have been raised. Nine
gentlemen subscribed 800 each, aud many
others $50 and $35 each. At the relief
meeting held in New York. the other eve
ming, John Van Burcp stutes that he had
spent som four months in the Island of
Madeira; the people there ARE honest, sim
pie, independent and industrious; they ac-
cumulate but little property, and, owing to
the peculiarly Of the climate, require but
little. BY changing their location from one
part Of the island TO another, they caH al
ways be in climate where no houses, und
but light clothing is required. The crops Of
the vineyards have never failed before IN
200 years. This last season the vineyards
have entirely failed. This is the only
means they have for support, and. unless
they should receive foreign aid, many ot
them must stnrve.

Tense. But, oh Lord. we could not enter in
