We heartily commend the ladies of Penrith, for th*ir kindly feeling and active exertions in behalf ef our brave countrymen, and hope they will secure the ready co-operation of all both intown and country.Mr. Eilyett, the hatter, of Southampton, who undertook to send out lint and tinea to Miss Nightingale, despatched a ton and a half, last week. He received parcels from all parts of the country. The South* Western Kail way carried it free, Mr. Matcham, the carrier, conveyed it through the town for nothing, and the Southampton Dock Company declined their dues on it. Mr. Eilyett recsived contributions of lint and linen for Miss Nightingale, and presents to the English regiments in the Crimea, up to Saturday last, and he has cow about a ton on hand, which will be sent away this week. It consists of lint, carpets, rugs, cuffs, stationery, and other useful articles. Amongst the contributors was Lord Palmerston. Mr. Eilyett thinks sufficient lint and linen has been sent to Scutari for the present. He has written to Miss Nightingale, desiring her to mention any article that she may require for the sick, and he will undertake to collect and send her out an ample suoply. ^Contributions of linen for the East have been sent in not only by ladies in Kendal, but also by ladies in the LakeDistrict, Sedbergh, Heversham, c. The quantity despatched will weigh about one ton. The two bales sent last week from Dockray Hall Mills, and which had been received by Messrs. Whitwell, have already left London for the Scutari hospitals. Messrs. Somervell Brothers have sent that committed to their care by steamer for Liverpool. — Westmoreland Gazette.
