LONDON, March 21
If the value of a donation is to
be eftiniated by its amount, thefub
i'cription from Eton school claims
pre-eminence. But the merit ot
the gift is enhanced by the promp
titude and sincerity with which it
was given. An hundred guineas to
a charity from school- boys,announc
es such genuine pati iotifm, fucli in
nate and laudable liberality, that
the nation itfelf, high as (he (lands
in the eftituauon of the world, is
honored by the donation. There
is vigor and manhood, as well as
generolity, in the very idea, and
which'none but British Youth would
have conceived or executed.
It is therefore, with a pleasure
bordering on enthusiasm, that we
record the munificent donation of
one hundred guineas given by the
young gentlemen at Eton, to the (b
ciety for the relief f the widows
and children of thole gallant men
who may fall in the lervice of their
country ; and when we cotifider
the spirited connections of many of
thele young gentlemen, and that
they ate destined to the cabinet or
the field, we cannot but feel an hap
py preface, that the British contti
tution'will be tranfmirred pure and
unimpaired to the latest posterity.
Weftininfter, it is said, is follow
ing this example but Eton has the
glory of" having taken the lead on
this, uccafion.
The ladies in Scotland are railing
a fund for the relief of the widows
and'-orphans of such soldiers and
sailors a-s may fill I in battle. The
f'ubfeription is carrying on under
the patronage of the Counters of
