The private Josses by the late calamity cannot be less, ono way or another, than £5000. Nothing like such a sum" as'that could be raised by subscription on the Thames, in its present povertygtruck condition; but if the canvass was general, the amount could oe easily raised. I recommend thafc a reliable committee be formed at once; let us strike while the iron is hot, and relief for tne losers is certain. The journals erery« where would advocate it.—Yours, &c.
