ARTICLES OMITTED LAST WEEK

The people called Quakers, at their late yearly meeting for New York and Long Island, have recommended to all their inferior meetings to promote a general subscription among their members for the timely relief of the poor in England and Ireland, who have suffered there by the high price of provisions. The money is to be disposed of as the meeting for sufferings in London may think proper to direct. A similar recommendation preceded this at their last annual assembly held in Philadelphia, for Pennsylvania and New Jersey. From the ability of Friends, and their well known liberality upon such affecting occasions, it is thought a very handsome remittance will be made for the above purposes.
