November have been received, which state that ‘• the
season of the year, usually denominated the hurricane
months, has passed over without the slightest cause of
alarm to the inhabitants of this island. We have to be
thankful, too, for the cessation of drought, and the •
tiful showers which have, from time to time, fallen en
our land. We regret, however, that this favourable
weather has not of late continued throughout the island,
many parts of which are suffering now foe want of rain. '
On the whole, however, agriculture is in a favourable
state, and with some good rains now things would V ell
very well."

Mary Arthur and Ann Arthur, sisters, the former 14
years of age, and the latter 12, both of them intelligent
girls, and very decently clad, were brought before
Hardwick, by by 'police constable No. 92 A, whom they
t
in the street last night, and stated they were in utter
destitution, and had been refused admission to St.
tin's workhouse.
In answer to questions by Mr. HAnnwics the elder
girl stated that her father %las a native of Dublin, Ana br
tilde a gunsmith., He had for a considerable time b_veeen
working at Bristol, where her mother died about seha
months ago. About a month since her father brefini

until Monday last, when he left them standing:l: was.,
street opposite to a public-house where he said "u ed
going to get some porter ; he, however, never rort!

any money in their pockets, the eldest girl took her hair
combs out and sold them for 6d. and was directed where
to procure a lodging for,the,m4;ast, velidelf and
on the following day she procured food and a shelter
for the night by disposing of part of her clothes. Yes-
