Relief for the Pocr.-we have been fav
ored with the following correspondence, which
We are pleased to lay before our benevolent
public
WASHINGTON, d. C Jan. -, 1857
DEAR SIR: Your appropriate and energetic
appeal to our citizens for the relief Of the poor
has suggested the idea to me, that fine con-
cert could be got up and given for it's benefit,
and in the management of which 1t would af.
ford me great satisfaction to take an active
part, particularly as my friend, Mr. Kieck-
hoefer, has sgreed to co operate with me in
rendering its result in every way as satisfac-
tory as possible.
l should therefore, be very happy to meet,
at as early a moment rs convenient, any two
or three gentlemen who would be willing to
aid in the undertaking, as l feel convinced
that such a concert could be made equally at
tractive and lucrative and with the full ten.
der Of my best services, remain, yours re-
spectfully, W. HENRY PALMER
Mayor Of Washington

President Pierce-In a lee ure recently
delivered in New York, by John Mitchell, the
Irish patriot, on the life Of Thomas Deyin
Reilly, We hnd the following expression OF
opinion in relation to President Pierce
"The presidential term of General Pierce
draws to a close, and it is not the fashion nor
the interest of any body to praise him. He
is tho setting sun ; and wOrshippers OF that
luminary look to the cast Hc is tho dying
lion H.; and jackasses kick at him with their
base heels. The object of my lecture ia by
10 means political but / know no reason
why l should not avOw that the friends of
Reilly are proud of the efficient literary aid
which he brought in support Of one Of whom
the annals of this Republic will record-lOpg
after the jealousies and animosities Of present
parties have ubsided-that he was one of the
purcst magistrates and most accomplished
men that ever sat in the presidential chair "
