The following letter has been received from Professor Nees von 

 Esenbeck : — 



" Breslau. 

 " Respected Sir, 



" I have received, with heartfelt thanks, the present of £20, 

 which, nobly sympathizing with my misfortunes, and influenced by 

 feelings akin to my own, you have enclosed in your letter. 



" This truly acceptable present not only supplies the pressing 

 necessities of the outward man, but at the same time administers 

 consolation to the spirit within, and gives it assurance that, although 

 lonely and deserted in the land of its birth, and looking around in 

 vain for sympathy there, it yet receives that sympathy from the home 

 of freedom in the human race. 



" I experience a feeling of deep shame in the neglect I have suf- 

 fered in my own country, as contrasted with the kindness evinced by 

 yours, since it argues that ours is a less noble race, less forward to 

 assist the disti'essed, less powerful in freedom, 



" When, however, the free man, in the spirit of a brother, offers us 



his hand, we press it to the heart, as I now, in thought, do yours, 



thanking and blessing you. Be pleased to convey these sentiments 



to those who have, through you, afforded me this consolation and 



assistance. 



" I am, with sincere respect, 



" Yours most devotedly, 



" Nees von Esenbeck. 

 *' To Edward Newman, Esq., 



" &c., &c., &c." 



As soon as the subscription-list appears to warrant such a course, 

 a second £20 will be forwarded.
