FANCY BAZAAS. r rilE public are respecfully informed that a *■ Fancy Bazaar will be held in July next, in aid of tho Patriotic Fund, now collecting for the relief of the Widows and Orphans of our bravo fellow countrymen, who may have fallen or may yet fall in the present war with Russia. Coutributions in Needlework and Fancy Goods of every description, as well as confectionary of all kinds, and such refreshments as will suit tlie occasion, will be thankfully received by any of the Committee. It is earnestly hoped that all in this community, whose hearts have been stirred by the accounts we have received of the pr vations and endurance an<l noble daring of our brave soldiers aud sailors, and all who sympathise with the many thousands of bleediug hearts in our native country, will give what help they can to forward . the objects of the Bazaar. It may be well to remind the public that if it were not for tho assistance afforded by the Patriotic Fund, very many widows and families of our brave soldiers and sailors, who have fallen in tho war, would now be suffering from actual want, in addition to their other sorrows, or would be the inmates of a work house. The object of this Bazaar is to save them from such a disaster as well as to express our sympathy with them in their affliction. The following ladies have consented to act on the Committee :—: — Mrs. Chesney, Mrs. Rough, Miss Falwasser, " Salmon, Mrs. Hamer, " Spicer, '• Law, " Thatcher, u Lloyd, " Webster, •• McDonald, " Whitaker, " Phillips, " Winch. Further particulars will be given in a future advertisement.

' AN APPEAL To the inJidbitants of the Province of Auckland, in behalf of the Destitute I amihes of British Soldiers and Satlon engaged in the War; and of the Widmos and Orphans of such of them as have been, or may be Slain, in Battle, or Perish in consequence of the Fatigues and hardships to which they are exposed. The committee appointed at the Public Meeting, held at the Odd Fellow's Hall, on Saturday the 28th April last, beg to inform their Fellow Colonists, that in accordance with a Resolution of the Committee, a deputation of its members will wait upon the Inhabitants of the Province, at their own dwellings, in order to give each one an opportunity of testifying his admiration and gratitude towards the Sea and Land Forces, by contributing towards the relief of those whom their valour has bequeathed to their Country. Is is hoped that the Inhabitants of the Province of Auckland will shew, by the liberality of their contributions, that they participate in the feelings of admiration and sympathy which have been manifested throughout the British Empire. The heavy taxation to which our fellow countrymen, in the United Kingdom, are subject, has not prevented their voluntary offerings in support of the "Widows and Oiphans. The other Colonies of the British Empire have vied with each other in liberality. Even England's children, who have long ceased to acknowledge her sway, have taken up with enthusiasm the cause of those who are fighting the battles of Freedom and Civilization. New York alone as, it is said, contributed £100,000. And other members of the American Union will doubtless equal New York in liberality. One Individual in the neighbouring Colony of New South Wales has subscribed £1000, several £500 each, many from £100 to £250. The inhabitants of this young Colony cannot be expected to compete with their more wealthy neighbours, in the amount of their subscriptions ; but it is their duty to manifest a like spirit by giving accoiding to their means. It is much to be feared that liberal as the contributions have been, they will fall short of the necessities which have to be provided for. Many thousands have already fallen in battle, and by sickness ; and there is every reason to fear that many thousands more will fall before an honourable and lasting peace can be secured. Let us then each one provoke his neighbour to liberality. Let us testify our gratitude to Aw me providence, who has given us peace within our borders, and prosperity within our dwellings. And let us not be unmindful of our obligations to our Mother Country ; which, while she exempts us from the burdens of the war, protects our commerce, and defends our shores by her fleets ; and even in these times, Avhen she has need of every soldier she can muster for actual warfare, is not forgetful of our internal safety ; but sends fresh detachments of troops to take the place of those who have for so many years afforded us protection. It becomes us then, not less as Christians, than as Britons, to exercise with liberal hearts and open hands, that charity which is doubly blest, blessing those who give as well as those who receive. By direction of the Committee, May 3, 1855. JAMES BUSBY, Secretary
