FANCY BaZAAB.

THE public are respeefully informed that a ' * Fancy Bazaar will be held in the Odd Fellow's Hall, on the Ist of Aueust next, in aid of the Patriotic Fund, now collecting for the relief of the Widows and Orphans of our brave fellow countrymen, who have fallen or may yet fall in the present war with Husbia. Contributions iv Needlework and in Fancy Good.-, o every description, as well as confectionary of all kiutls, and such refreshments as will suit the occasion, will be thankfully received by any of the Ladio's of the Committee. It is earnestly hoped that all in this community whose hearts have been stirred by the accounts which have been received of the pr vationa and endurance and noble daring of our brave soldiers and sailors, and all who sympathise with the many thousands of bleeding hearts in our native country, will give what help they can to forward the objects of this Bazaar. It may be well to lemiiid the public that if it were not for the assistance afforded by the Patriotic Fund, very many widows and families of our brave soldiers and sailors, who have fallen in the 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 iv their affliction. 1 Lady Patronage — Mrs, Wynyard.

AM" APPEAL To the inhabitants of the Province of Auckland, in behalf of the Destitute Families of British Soldiers and Sadois engaged in th TH.r , and of the Widoios and Orpham of such of them us have been, or may be Slain, id Battle, or Perish in consequence oj the Fatigues and hardships to which they ate exposed. The committee appointed at the Public Meeting, h<"ld at the Odd Fellow's Hall, on Saturday the 28th April last, beg to inform their Fellow Colonists, that in accordance tvith a Resolution of the Committee, a deputation of its members will wait upon the Inhabitants oi the Proiince, at their own dwellings, in older 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 vilour has bequeathed to their Country. Is is hoped that the Inhabitants of the Province ol Auckland will shew, by the liberality of their contributions, that they paiticipate in the feelings of admuation and sympathy which have been manifested throughout the British Empire. The heavy taxation to which o\ir 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, v/ho have long ceased to acknowledge her sway, ha\e 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 Kew York in liberality. One Indhidual in the neighbouring Colony of Now 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 according 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 divine providence, j who has given us peace within our borders, and pros- ! perity 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, when 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 libeial 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, Secretaiy
