There arc q great many suffering poor
ia our city. They may DO met at every
corner, and sometimes begging bread.
Hence but those benevolent ladies and
others, whose sympathies are moved,
and who attend to such matters, know a
1.-THE Of the truth. We hear from n
lady who had rather relieve the distress
Of the deserving poor than TO enjoy any
other luxury which wealth, affords, and
who knows by experience that there is
no luxury equal to that Of INDUCING a
passion for true beneyolence,) OF a
case in which she found poor woman
sick In n wro,ched howell, without
bread a. fuel, and in rags-her three or
four helpless little children without a
bed, and shiveriug over the embers Of q
fire made from the last chair and bed
stead, which had been burned up, This
was in the coolest weather Of the winter,
and we know not how many may have
died from such exposure, which some
sys,ematized plan of relief might have
avoided. Who will initiate such a plan Z
We are glad to see that Mr.. Robinson
donates the proceeds of his circus for to-
morrow night to the relief of the poor OF
the city. The ladies who have taken the
matter in hand, aud will sell the tickets
and receive the money for this purpose,
will see that it is faithfully distributed
They request us to say that, although
they are associated with particular
benevolent Institution connected with the
Episcopal Church, the fund thus raised
will be universally distributed according
to the intent of the donor. We hope the
amount will largely augment the fund
previously procured by contributions
taken up last Sunday in the different
churches. A great relief, we trust will
thus be afforded TO many distressed and
deseryinp objects

WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, February 28.-The fol-
lowing is the bill as agreed upon by the
| Committee on Foreign Affairs yesterday,
as a substitute for the bill heretofore re-
ported:
WHEREAS, The right of expatriation is
natural and inherent right of all people,
and is indispensable to the enjoyment OF
! rights, life and liberty, and in the pursuit
of happiness, for the protection oil
which the Government of the United
States was established; and
WHEREAS, In the recognition OF this
principle this Government has freely re-
ceived emigrants from all nations, and
invested them with rights of citizenship
and
WHEREAS, 1t is claimed that all such
American citizens, with their descend
ants, arc subjects of foreign States, ow-
ing allegiance to the governments there
of; and
WHEREAS, 1t is necessary to the main
tenance of the public peace that this
claim of foreign allegiance should be
promptly and finally disavowed there
fore
Be ii enacted, etc., That any declara-
ton of instruction, opinion, order, or
decision of any of the officers
of this Government which de-
MES, restricts, impairs or questions
the right of expatriation is hereby de-
clared inconsistent with the fundamental
principles of government, and therefore
null and void.
SECTION 2. All naturalized citizens Of
the United States in foreign states shall
be entitled to and receive from this Gov
eminent the same protection of person
and property accorded to native-born
citizens in like situations.
SECTION 8. That whenever it shall be
duly made known to the President that
any citizen of the United States has
been arrested and is detained by any
foreign government, in contravention OF
the intent and purposes of this act, upon
the allegation that naturalization in the
United States does not operate to dis
solve this allegiance to his native SOW
ereign; or if any citizen shall have been
arrested and detained, whose release on
demand shall have been unreasonably
delayed or refused, the President shall,
and is hereby empowered to, arrest and
detain in custody any subject or citizen
of such foreign government who may be
found within the jurisdiction of the
United States; and the President shall
without delay give information to Con-
gress of any such proceeding under this
| act. nj
