Sarah j. Spencer. Hon. A. G. Riddle, and

impressed the committee that they hast

leave noeffort untried to secure for them
what they asked.
This is good cause and we bespeak for
it hearty support. Mrs. Spencer made the
original and appropriate suggestion that

A New YORK dispatch says that
Mr.. James Gordon Bennett has given
thirty thousand dollars toward the estab-
lishment of soup-houses for the poor Of
that city. The suffering among the
working. classes of the commercial metrop-
oils seems to be very great. Thousands
of poor clerks, male and female, and of
mechanics are out of employment, with
no immediate prospects Of work. Mr..
Bennett has set noble example to the
wealthy men of New York, which, it is
to be hoped, they will not be slow to
initiate.
