The PeoR OF RIcHkoxp.-The Directors Of
the Relief Committee In this city have recon-
mcnded that the citizens assemble on Satur-
day afternoon next. at four O'Clock, at the
CITY Hall, for the purpose Of organizing Re-
lief Association. We trust there will be 4
universal response to this call. It Is true that
our people are generally impoverished, but
there are few who, by self DENTAL, cannot spare
a small amount for the relief of their suffer
ing brethren. Over two thousand persons in
this city will be left In absolute want by the
withdrawn Of the Government rations, and
unless something is done for their relief, freez-
ing and starvation are their horrible fate.
There are others, not included in this calcula-
ton, who are living in the most straitened cir
eumstances, not knowing one day where they
are to look the next for bread, and destitute Of
the common comforts of life. A good many Of
these sufferers are the widows and orphans OF
soldiers who have perished on the fields
or in hospitals, and not few have been reduced
from competency, and, in some cases. from
sfiuence, to their present miS6fAh3e condition.
We are sure that, reduced in fortune as many
of our community are, they will freely give Of
their little to mitigate such Distress and will
avail themselves of this Christmas season to
exercise the essential Christian virtue Of Cha.
rity.

MRxIco.--It is a matter of difficulty to OBJ
tain reliable intelligence concerning Mexican
affairs At one and the same time both the Inn
perialists and the Republicans are represented
rs carrying everyt before them. The latest
intelligence direct from Mexico, represents
the Imperialist cause in a bad way, and we are
told that NAPoLEoS is preparing to abandon
MACMILLAN. The news from Mexico, ria
England, warrants a different conclusion
The London Observer undertakes to say that
NAPOLEON has prevailed upon the Mexican
Minister at Paris to proceed to Mexico and en-
deayor to dissuade MAxIMILIAN from abdica-
ting.
If the public expect any cue from journal
lists which of the conflicting stories from Mex
leo to believe, we have only to say, in the
words of the Snowman, when asked by the
lady which was the zebra and which the gi-
raffe, Whichever you please, my dear"
The ways Of potentates and politicians are
unfathomable. We are inclined to suspect.
however, that if NAPOLEON intends to with
draw the French troops, it will be at such a
time and in such a manner as will avoid a
compromise Of the national pride.
