Mr. NORTON asked them how many there were in
the family ? Applicants replied fourteen in all, but
only nine were living with their mother. They had
two brothers capable of taking situations, having
been educated in Germany, but they were unable to
obtain any.
➢ir. NORTON asked how long their father had left
them ?

They replied six months ' • they had not seen him
three months. He had such a large family he was
unable to bring them up.
Saunders here stated that he had made very strict
inquiries about them, and had ascertained they had
pledged almost everything they could spare to pur-
chase food. They also employed themselves in teach-
ing their younger brothers and sisters.

-Applicants said their father's sister was the widow
of a gentleman formerly on the Stock Excange. She
was well off, but would not assist them, nor even see
any of the family. Their father's brother was also
possessed of considerable property, but he would not
aid them in any way. Their father had lost all bis
property in speculations, and since then his relations
bad turned their backs on them.
_ _

Mr. NORTON asked them whether they could un-
dertake situations as nursery governesses ?
They replied that they could—even anything for
respectable employment. Three of their brothers had
been employed in the Exhibition, but they were dis-
charged at a moment's notice, without any satisfaction.
Saunders said that Mr. Field saw them at the Ex-
hibition, and, knowing their brothers to have been in
trouble, he pointed them out, and i❑ consequence of
that they wen. immediately discharged.
The applicants said they were extremely sorry to
make this public application, but they knew nut what
to do. There were many charitable persons who
might assist them if it met their eye in the public
newspapers.

?SoaTON said it was a very lamentable case,
and one which deserved to be noticed by the press,
so that it might meet the eye of persons wanting
young women of their position in life. He would
allow them a sovereign out of the poor-box for their
immediate wants, and he hoped their application would
be seen by some humane persons who would take
their case up.
Applicants thanked the magistrate for his kindness,
and left the court expressing their gratitude.

THE COUNTRY MARKETS.
WAKEFIELD, SEPT. 26.—We have a moderate arrival

of new barley is offering, and the best qualities are
token at a decline of 2s per quarter. Oats are id per
stone, and shelling is per quarter cheaper. Beaus and
other articles are without alteration.

BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, SEPT. 26.—There is still
but very little business cluing in our market, and the
supply offering is indifferent; prices are not, however,
lower than last week. Refined produce steady, but the
demand is scarcely so active as of late. Rum rather
firmer.—Bristol Mercury.
EZETER, SEPT. 26.—Cattle Market—There was a
moderate supply of every description of stock, and the
demand was tolerably brisk. Beet, of the best quality,
was fully worth 8s per score; inferior sold at from 7s 6d;
cows and calves sold at from 81 to 121 each; steers, 131 w
181 per pair; butchers' calves, 413 per lb; barren heifers,
5s to 5a 6A per score. Sheep were plentiful, and we can
note but little alteration from last week's quotations.
Pork Carcasses—A good supply this morning a. 6a 9d
to 7s 6d per score. Pannier—Turkeys, 5. to 6s 6d each;
geese, 4s 6d to 5s 61 each; ducks, as 64 to 4. 9J per
couple; fowls, 2s 6d to 3s 6d per couple; pigeons, is
each; partridges, 2s 6d to 3s per brace; grouse, 6s per
couple; hares, 2s 6d each; rabbits, 10,1 to is each;
butter, 104 to is per ib; eggs, 16 to 18s for Is; roasters,
4s to 5a each. Wool—ln this article staplers refuse to
give lid per lb, and but little business has been done.
Corn Ezehange—There was a tolerably large attendance
to-day, but not many lots changed hands. Some tine
samples of wheat were shown at 4s 9d to 5s per bushel.
There was some slight difference in old and new—old
being a shade dearer than the new; barley, as 3 1 per
bushel; oats were a trifle dearer, from 2s 3d to 21 4d.
Fine flour from 28s to 29s per sack.
NEWBURY, SEPT. 25.—We have a very large supply
of wheat to-day, principally of the new crop, and mostly
of very fine quality. The long-continued dry weather
has much circumscribed our water-power, h 0 that the
supply far exceeds the requirements of the trade; still
th large quantity changed bands at a decllne of is per
