COMPLIMENTARY.
The Montreal Herald, after giving the inhabitants of Canada a gentle hint for not having come forward to the relief of the Irish, winds up with the following handsome compliment to the citizens of New York
It will be seen that the good people of New York have called a meeting to devise measures for relieving the distressed Irish. As Britons we yield them our unqualified thanks, for this act of spontaneous and genuine philanthropy. Such acts are above 'all Greek, all Roman fame,' and will be remembered when mere deeds in arms shall be forgotten. We should be glad to see so excellent an example followed by these provinces.
