The Literary Association of the Friends of Poland are about

to make another effort to obtain time means of relieving the necessities of the gallant and unfortunate victims of Russian tyranny. It is intended to have a ffte on Friday at the Beulah Spa, the proceeds of which will be devoted to the Polish exiles. The public humanity and generosity is appealed to, without reference to the political dissensions so apt to pre- vail among banished men, and from which the Poles in England have not been free. Let their gallantry and their distress alone he remem- bered; or if political considerations have any influence, let Englishmen reflect upon the barrier which Poland independent might have raised against the encroaching and intriguing spirit of Russian ambition, had she not been deserted by England in her hour of need.
