Royal volunteers and city ladies aid for voluntary fund
Yesterday Prince of Wales's tram subscriber at the bank boosted voluntary contributions to the fund. The Lady Mayoress heads a mansion house subscription daily for two hours with many city ladies and country subscriptions arriving at the bank. Merchants on the Royal Exchange subscribed 18,000l. Thomas Warner, Receiver General for Oxfordshire, added funds. Mr Russell of Frithsfred paid 400l for one week’s full pay of Scots Greys. A cited paper rumor about Lord Grenville’s vacancy in Ireland is deemed unfounded.
