It is earnestly hoped that all in this community, whose hearts have been stirred by the accounts which have been received of the pr various and endurance and noble daring of our brave soldiers and sailors, and all whosympatltise 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 remind the public that if it were not for the assistance afforded by the Patriotic Fuud, very many widows aud families of ojur brave i-oldiera 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 in their affliction. Lady Patkoxlss — Mrs, Wynyard.

AH APPEAL

I To the inhabitants of the Province of Auckland, in behalf of the Destitute Families of British Soldiets and SaHoi j engaged in thi War; and of the Widows and Orphans of such of them as have been, or Jtuty bu i-lam, in Battle, or PerMi in consequence of the Facigues and hardships to which they a)f 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 to waids 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 voluntai y offerings in support of the Widows and Orphans. The other Colonies of the British Empire have vied with each other in liberality. Even England's children, who ha\ c 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 doubtloss 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 £200. 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 moie 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, who'has given us peace within our boiders, and prosperity within our dwellings. And let us not be unmindful of our obligations to our Mother Country ; which, while slid 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 protections It becomes us then, not less as Christians, than as Britons, to exercise with liberal hearts and open hand 1 ?, 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
