Alexander Munro, an old soldier, discharged after
services in the Peninsula and at Waterloo, applied for
the magistrat4's advice under the following circum
stances :

The applicant said that he had served twelve years
in the 71st Highland Regiment, during which period
he was engaged in several battles in the Peninsula,
and lastly at Waterloo, for which he had the medals.
Being discharged and having fallen into infirm health,
arising from the privations he bad undergone while in
the army, and having no pension fur his services, he
transmitted his testimonials of character while in the
71st Regiment to the Duke of Wellington, in the
hope that his Grace would appoint him to some
humble employment, or place him on the pension list,
so that in his old age he would not be driven to seek
an asylum in the workhouse. Those testimonials he
enclosed to the Duke of Wellington in August last,
but received no answer, and, although he had since
written requesting that his Grace would order the re-
turn of his papers, which were of the utmost impor-
tance to him, yet they were never sent back to him.
The applicant here handed in the copy of a letter he
had transmitted to the Duke of Wellington on the
subject, and requested that the magistrate would
peruse it, and it would prove that it was couched in
terms deserving some consideration. The letter was
to the following effect

" London, Aug. 15.

" My Lord Duke,—From the well-known urbane and
gentlemanly manner which so peculiarly characterises
you ou receiving communications, even from the meanest
individuals, I, as an old soldier, am emboldened to ad-
dress these few lines to you, humbly hoping you will be
pleased to condescend in paying a little attention to my
present appeal.
" I have had the honour of serving under your Grace's
command in the Peninsula and at Waterloo, in the gal-
lant 71st Highland Regiment. Five months ago I took
the liberty of enclosing to you ceritificates of a silver
medal I received from the commanding officer of that
regiment, as a testimony for courage, loyalty, and gene-
ral good conduct, which, with other two medals, is the
only remuneration I have received for ten years' active
service, and two for Waterloo, making altogether twelve
years, but which certificates have not been returned to
me by your Grace's subordinates. I transmitted them to
your Grace to convince you that I was no impostor, and
that, as I am now in the winter of old age, without
friends to succour M 9 or money to support me, that you
will be pleased to extend the hand of benevolence, and
exert your powerful influence in procuring some humble
employment, which may enable me to pass the remnant
of my declining life, if not in comfort, at least aloof
from the workhouse, which is not a fitting asylum for
one who has endangered life and limb in the service of
his country.
" From your Grace's most obedient humble servant,
" ALEXANDER MUNRO,
" Late 71st Highlanders."

The magistrate, Mr. COMBE, said, at the request
of the applicant he had read the letter addressed to
the Duke of Wellington, but that he could give him
no advice, as it related to matters entirely distinct
from those over which magistrates had any control.
The applicant said he was at a loss how to act for
the recovery of his testimonials, and thought the best
plan was to seek the advice of a magistrate on the sub-
ject. He added, he suspected his papers were kept
back from the notice of the Duke of Wellington.

THE COUNTRY MARKETS.

- - -
WAKEFIELD, OCT. 3.—This week we have a good
arrival of most articles. At the country markets during
the week there has been generally shorter supplies, and
some advance in the value of wheat causes more firm-
ness here today, and the full prices of last week are
obtained, and tor soma qualities an advance of is per
quarter is made. But few malaters have yet commenced;
we have a slow demand for barley, and prices are again
cheaper. Very little inquiry for oats and shelling or
beans, and each rather lower.

R OCT.e,
BRISTOL SUGAR MA
KET, 2.—The market con
tiuue very dull, and the transactions of the week are too
limited to notice. Refiners' produce is also in very
limited demand, and prices are lower.—Bristol Mercury.
LIVERPOOL, OCT. 3.—We are still receiving good
supplies of foreign wheat aud flour, but with our present
c miuming power and low prices.we reire them. At
this morning's market a good business wasr transacted in
at an improvement on Tuesday's prices
wheat and flour,
of ld per bushel on the former, and 6d per barrel on
flour. Several speculative investments have been made
in American flour the last day or two, and again to-day,
and more confidence is entertained. There was no
change in the value of Indian corn, nor of any other
article of the trade,
NEWBURY, OCT. 2.—The quantity of wheat pitched
large, and she quality very fine. At the
toop
ednaiyn
gis very
of the market a brisk demand ensued, and a
very large amount of business was speedily done, our
millers generally feeling disposed to get into stock.
Although wo can note no advance in prices, still they
have an upward tendency, and most of the large supply
was cleared off. Barley in good supply; malting in re-
quest at 25s to 28s per quarter; other sorts a slow sale
at barely late rates. Beans, oats, and peas, moderate
supply, and in slow request at late rates.
EXETER, OCT. 3.—Cattle Market—There was not so
large a number of beasts driven in to-day as last week.
The supply, however, was by means small, and prices
generally were well supported. There were some very
fine sheep in the market, which attracted much atten-
tion. :Cows and calves were not plentiful, and sold at
from 81 lOs to 121. Primo beef fetched from 7s 6d to
8s per score; steers, from 181 per pair; barrenners sold
at from 4s to 5s per score; butchers calves, 4d to 4d
per lb. Thre were a few yearling heifers in the market,
which sold at from 51 Ws and upwards. Sheep—
wethers, 4id to 5d per lb; ewes, 4d to 4id. Pork Car-
cases—The market this morning was well supplied with
pigs; prices ranged from 78 to 75 611
par score. Pannier
Turkeys, 4s 6cl to 6s each; geese, to 5s 6d; ducks,
3s Gd to 5s per coupl©;
fowls, 2s 6d to 3s 6d; pigeons, is
sd; pheasants, 6s per brace; partridges, 3s; roasters, 43
to 5s each; rabbits, is 8d per couple; butter, lid to is
per lb; eggs, 16 for is. Corn Exchange—Prices were
about the same as last week, although it was thought
before the market closed there would be a slight increase.
Wheat was quoted at 4s 9i to ss; barley, 3s 3d; oats,
Sis 3d to 2s 4 per bushel. Flour about the same as last
week. Wool—Trade is dull, staplers refusing the give
more than lid per lb.
BANGOR, OCT. 3.—At our market to-day the attend-
ance was pretty good, with an average show of grain
samples. Wheat samples, of this year's growth, offered
at 35s to 365; barley, 24s to 265; oats, 14s to 15e; oat-
meal, 26s per 240 lbs. Transactions on the whole were
very limited.
