THE SUPERIORESS of the ITALIAN THE

CONVENT relying on the well known kindness of the Benevolent Friends of the Institution begs to APPEAL to their Charity for assistance on behalf of a poor destitu Woman, a native of Mauritius, with f children, of tender age, that had beed led t deceit to the interior of China, where they han. suffered very ill treatment, resolved to escape to this Colony, and came to the Convent in the most miserable and distressful craving a shelter.

condition

It is more than a year that the Superioress kas kept them under her care for want of means to send them back to Mauritius, but, as the poor woman is longing to be once more Amongst her own people and as there will be a steamer for Mauritius on the 14th instant, the Superioreas hopes that her earnest petition will be kindly attended.

The Charity of the kind benefactors will certainly be amply rewarded by the Merciful Father of the abandoned.
