Three weeks ago the country
was startled with the news of a
great calamity. Two hundred hu-
man beings were immured alive,
and after six days Of agonizing sus-
pense, in which the whole country,
from the Queen to the humbIest OF
her subjects, thrilled with a COM
mon emotion, it was found all had
perished, leaving upwards of 400
widows and orphans deprived OF
their natural protectors. No soon
er was this known than the flood
gates of charity We're opened. In
the immediate neighborhood OF
the calamity something like syste-
matte collection Of contributions
was adopted. and the result las
fully equalled the most sanguine
expectations. In this metropolis,
removed by more than 400 miles
from the scene, the result has been
still more striking. = fortnight
ago q working man sent to the
Lord Mayor a quarter, the price OF
q dinner which he had forgone
that he might have the satisfaction
Of subscribing his mite to alleviate
the sufferings of those bereaved by
this sad catastrophe. His L)rdship
thereupon simply intimated his
Willingness to receive other contri
buttons and they have ever since
continued to flow into the Mansion
house at the average rate of $4,000
per day. On the ninth day the
Lord Mayor made second an
nouncement, that, as he had re.
ceived $4,000, and 100000 would
be ample to relieve the present and
prospective wants of the sufferers,
he thought the time had come for
the people to hold their hands. 1t
was in vain, however-the stream
of benevolence still continues to
pour, in scarcely diminished vol
ume, ~ na-
