TO THE EDITOR OF TILE SUN.

read in your iaper of last evening, a
report of an application to the Worship-street mngis.•
trate, by W. Allen, a gunmaker, respecting what appears
to me, under the circumstances of the case, a most heart-
less proceeding ou the part of the secretary of a loan
society, it occurred to me, that on being solicited, you
would wield your most powerful pen towards raising a
subscription in behalf of the above unfortunate family.
Presuming on your kindness, I have left at your
office, •2s. 6d. towards the above object. —I am, yours, &c.
London, Oct. 3, 1849. D., (A Labourer.)

[Any further assistance had better be forwarded
immediately to the worthy Magistrate, at Worship-
street. The case to which our humane correspondent
refers is really one of peculiar and distressing hard-
ship, and such
.as calls for the aid of the benovolent.
