with the Ottoman power, and especially in 
the recent transactions within the island of 
Scio, where a-great part of the. inhabi- 
tants, while conducting themselves peace- 
ably and submissively, were massacred in 
cold blood by the Turks, and the remain- 
der thrown into captivity, or obliged to 
seek for safety by flying to foreign shores 
with the loss of all their property.—That 
a subscription be immediately opened for 
the relief of those Sciots who survive that 
massacre, and of such other Greeks as may 
be placed in similar circumstances.”

4 IRELAND. 
The gentlemen deputed by the London 
Tavern Committtee to ascertain the ex- 
tent of Irish distress, have made a report 
on the poverty and wretchedness which 
still pervade the Jrish peasantry. In no 
place, they assert, does there exist such ac- 
eumulated and unprecedented misery as 
in the county of Galway, Some mani- 
festations of outrage and illegal combina- 
tion have re-appeared in the vicinity of 
Tretand, &¢. 
Lixnaw, and between that village and 
Listowell ; though in no other part. of. this 
country, which, with this trifling excep- 
tion, is perfectly tranquil. The grievances 
are, tithes, high rents, &c.; and, unless 
some-effectual remedy be applied, we shall 
not be surprised to -hear of further 
breaches. L t~ 
. The assizes.in the several counties have 
exhibited dreadful lists of crime, but dis- 
tress and starvation are evidently the ge- 
neral parent of all. ii

TO CORRESPONDENTS. ' 
We agree with Candidus, that the case of a pretended HONORARY Secretary of a 
very urgent Charity receiving a salary, wnder the rose, of 3001. is very proftigate, 
and cannot be too much exposed ;—we agree with him, that ‘the assumption of the 
title is always supercilious, and that its abuse in this manner as hnavish ;’—but the 
details of connivance, §c. Sc. which he describes, are better adapted to the columus 
of a Newspaper. 
W. D. of Sleaford, will find a Letter at the Post-Office—For answers to several 
Letters complaining of the non-delivery of our Supplements, we must refer the par- 
ties to their Booksellers. The Supplements, particularly the last, are among the 
most interesting Numbers of our Series.—T he length and paramount interest. of the 
Portugueze Biography, and of Mr. Griffith's Patent, have obliged.us to defer our 
usual article on Foreign Literature, as well as the second Number of “the Social 
Economist.” 
On account of the intense interest created in regard to our last Number, by 
the article on Boring for Water, and the fine Engraving of the Suspension Bridge, 
we feel it proper to state, that the Number may be had, to order, of any Bookseller. 
That Number was the first of a new Voliiine, and it is due to ourselves and friends to 
say, that we have seldom commenced a Volume under the auspices of a greater in- 
crease of new Subscribers. 
An Engraving of the Suspension Pier erecting at Brighton will ornament our 
next Number.—G. is informed that the plate of Nicholson has been accidentally 
omitted by the binder—MR. PAaRKER’S gratuitous drawing will be accepted—MR. 
B. Coox’s valuable Paper will be given in our next. 
Several questions, the answers to which may be obtained by consulting Rees’s 
Cyclopedia, Tomlin’s Law Dictionary, Mortimer’s Commercial Dictionary, or 
Robinson’s Theological Dictionary, are laid aside.
