CHARITIES AND CoRREcrIoSs.-We learn that
the Commissioners of Charities and Corrections
have had fewer applications from poor persons for
aid this season than in many years pa.t Since the
Winter get in there has been given out by Dir. hel-
lock- Superintendent OF Outdoor Poor, II, 3o3 APP
pli,rtiour which consist OF a variety of questions
relative 10. the condition. family, &c., &c. OF he
applicant. OF there, 1921 have been returned TO
tie Office with the queries answered. They are DIS
tribnted among the wards, ana clam tue attention
of The " yisItors," who if they fnd the applicants
really in need, furnish them with certificates
upon which they receive coal or small amount OF
money. Many oj these poor people have received,
appropriations made for the relief of The families OF
volunteer, and such persons not aided by the Com
mssi0uers. There are, however. all sorts OF subier-
fuges resored in order TO obtain money from both
sources and the visitors called upon to be ex-
ceedingy strict in their examination IN order to save
Themselves from deception.
The heaviest sufferers this Winter are domestic !
servants, many OF whom have been thrown out OF
employmeat by the decrease in the nuCber OF fam !
il es keeping house, and the retrenchment which
Others have found 1t necessary to make III thelr
domestic economy. TIE Intelligence Offices about
the city are hronged daily, but macy of these even
have been compelled to close their doors, from OBJ
yiOus reasons.
From all that we can learn, however, there is by
no means the amount Of restitution in New-fork
this Winter that we had reason to expect IN war
time.
Tie weekly statement Of the Commissioners shows
that there were remaining in the several institutions
on the nth inst. 100 persons. Admitted since,
| 81; died 81; discharged, ,l95; sent to Black
wells Island, 23S; sent to State Prison, 2; number
