The WILLIAMS CHILDREN.-Yesterday
morning we published an article informing the
public that Captain Williams the brave com
mander of the ill-fated Oneida lett several
children whose support comes upon relatives
who are willing but scarcely in pecuniary
condition to do so. Mr.. r. d. Forbes of Bos-
ton has been raising fund for that purpose,
and has requested Capt. Geo. I'll. Preble, U. s.
N, to select gentlemen in other cities to re-
ceive subscription papers. Capt. Preble has
appointed Alderman William Senter, of the
well-know firm of Lowell & Senter, for Port
land, and the papers have been placed in the
Merchants Exchange, where we hope hard
some sum will be subscribed. Small donations
are thankfully received along with the large
ones and we trust that the native State of the
brave seaman will make a noble contribution.
