THE BRITISH PRESS. the cost of the raw material, which had to under* the process of throning, dying, weaving. &c. is 18s., it is quite clear that the difference between these two sums must be paid to the operatives in the purchase cf labour. What this amou.tt will rise to on a large capital, even in a single manufactory, may be readily estimated. Where, we would 'ask, is the labour to be absorbed of the thousands of dis culled workmen, that, after three weeks—perhaps less—shall have passed over their heads, will not know which way to tarn themselves, nor where to find support for their starv ing families, but within the walls of a workhouse ? This disastrous period, frightful as it is to contemplate, will in fallibly arrive, if the period for admitting foreign silks i s not postponed—and postponed, too, fcr a period that will admit the British silk-weavers to bring their machinery— I u they are gradually doing—to that state of finished im provement which will place them on such a level of skill as will enable them to contend successfully with foreign competition. Let the manufacturers be left alone for a few years, and they will accelerate all those improvements in the trade, and all those desirable results to its prosperity, which Government intend in their favour, with better suc cess, and with much greater certainty, than they will ever be effected by any legislative interference, however well meant it may be, and however much it may promise. Who are they, after all, that advocate the introduction of foreign silks, and petition so urgently to Government for a free trade? Are they the manufacturers or the workmen? Neither. They are the warehousemen ;—the class of per sona who " neither toil nor spin;" who buy from the manufacturers and sell to the deulars—who, the more ex tensive their assortment the greater their chance of pur chasers—and who ate therefore anxious to have foreign silks in their warehouses, in common with British, because, as tastes ere various, all custotners may be satisfied. If this class of persons, who maintain no labour—who keep no looms—w•ho pay no wages--if their interests are to be consulted, to the exclusion of the artisans and the manu facturers—then, though half a million of starving workmen should he cut upon the world, and the ten thousand looms which give them bread should be burnt for firewood—the introduction of the foreign fabric is no doubt the policy suited to the end. But if it is meant that the Silk Trade should be made to flourish, and the manufacturer be pro tected—these are ends to be accomplished by other meat:. The projected system leads, we are satisfied, to very op posite results. This important subject opens itself to so wide an extent of observation, that we are obliged, by want of space, to defer our further remarks upon it till Monday. Wtareaulherited to state, that the particulars contained in the Times of Wednesday respecting the Mexican Company, and communicated in a letter signed " A Mer chant," are wholly untrue. The names of the Directors of this Company stand too high to require that they should be defended against any aspersion which this anonymous libeller would cast upon them. It becomes still less neces sary when the slanderous fabrkation is found in a journal in which any scribbler, If he dots but attack individuals sufficiently distinguished, may find a ready vehicle for his scurrility. Without descending to a detailed refutation of the statement of this pretended "Merchant," we will give a sample of it, for -- purpose of showing that it is not unintentionally, false. bet of Audit &hares; the qu: " Each Director," it is . shares, making . .

About the middle of the day a report was currently sent forth that the Bank were about to issue 11. and et. notes, which made, on its first announcement, a favourable im pression on Consols. About two o'clock the issues of these small notes were made. They are old notes, some dated in 1812, others in 1920 and 1821 ; there not being time, we should imagine, for engraving fresh plates of the present date. It is, besides, understood to be only a temporary measure, for the relief of. the mail-coaches from the im mense weight they would otherwise have to carry, if the same amount of value in sovereigns was forwarded by them. At this moment the demand for gold or of England notes is so great in the provinces, that the former, in sufficient quantities, could not be convoyed 11 the mail coaches ; and this temporary expedient has therefore been resorted to of necessity. It has probably been hastened by the scarcity of W. notes, there being this afternoon none of that value to be obtained at the Bank. _ _ In consequence of the heavy transfers, the Stock Ex change was .kept open until a quarter past four o'clock. The Bank is still pursuing its liberal course, and thy issues of small notes may be considered as a branch of the system so beneficially pursued by this werful Corporation during the late crisis, and which has justly raised it so high in public estimation. Consols opened at nil ' • they theft went down to 1111, up to 84, and left off at l buyers. The Reduced Annuities were at SO, 79? I. The Foreign Market was comparatively deserted.

Exalt:quer Bills were 23a. 655. SOs. tits. We understand that the merchants and shopkeepers of Sheffield, Rotherhatn, Chesterfield, and Loughborough, have met, in conscgnence of the recent stoppages in town, and have iesued handbills, stating that they shall continue to take notes of their respective banks to any amount in ex• change for goods, &c. On Friday remittances in cash to all the above places were supplied to a very large amount. At Sheffield the handbills received 600 signatures in a few hoe vv. Upon authority that we think we can rely, we have heard that Everett, Walker, and Co. although they will pay 20s..in the pound, and be in possession afterwards of. a very large balance of property, do not intend to continue their banking ettablialnnent in Mansion House-street. The Earl of Liverpool and the Chancellor of the Exche quer returned to London yesterday morning about half-part ten o'clock, and in the course of the morning they were busily engaged with more of the Cabinet Ministers in Lon don, anal various public and Official gentlemen. Messen gers were despatched in different directions without any eessati6n, till some of them were quite exhausted. The consultations were held at the ltous,2 of the Chancellor of the Exchequer and of the Earl of Liverpool, but principally at the latter; in fact, the Noble Earl's house was in a con = stant state of bustle during the whole day, and probably a more important subject never occupied the attention of any Minister, especially under such extraordinkry sill unex pected circumstances. At two o'clock the Earl of Har rowby, Lord President of the Privy Council, arrived in town in a chariot and four, having travelled with great spee.l from his seat in Staffordshire. The Noble Earl alighted at the Foreign Office. His Lordship, after an interview with Mr. Secretary Canning for some time, went to the Earl of Liverpool's house, in Whitehall-place, and joined in the consultation with the Earl of Liverpool, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Lord 'Melville, Mr. Huskisson, and Mr. Secretary Peel. His Lordship re turned from the consultation to Mr. Secretary Canning, at the Foreign Office. At four o'clock in the afternoon a important meeting tool: place at the Earl of Liver- Herries and • and - of the _ to the Treaattry, . rison ; Secretary Peel ; the Governor of the Bank of England; John Pearse, _ i .; Samuel Thornton, Esq., and another Bank Director ; some of the Commissioners for the Reduction of the National Debt; and S. Dighton, Esq., Secretary and Comptroller- General to the Commissioners. The meeting continued in deliberation till half-past five o'clock, when the Governor, Deputy-Governor, and Directors of the Bank returned to the Bank of England. The Cabinet Ministers and official Gentlemen remained in consultation till near a quarter past six o'clock. We understand that the Directors of the Bank of Eng land have, in addition to the very large supply of specie sent into the country. issued some one-pound notes, to take the placed the small provincial notes in districts where the failure of Banks has occurred, being intended as a temporary measure to relieve the distress in those dis tricts. The public are respectfully informed that Messrs. Bar clay, Britton, Bevan and Co., are now the London Corre spondents of Messrs. Walkers, Eyre, and Stanley, of the . 11heflield and Rotherham Banks. We are authorised to state, that the draughts and notes of Aleuts. Hutton and Co., bankers at Richmond and Ley burn, in Yorkshire, and those of Messrs. Forster and Co., bankers also, at Carlisle and Penrith, were, immediately upon the suspension of Messrs. Pole and Co., taken up by Sir John Perring, Shaw, Barber and Co. ' and that all de mands upon those firms hare been paid by them. We are requested to contradict an article which app"arcrl in dift'erent London Journals of yesterday, copied from a Country Paper, that the ‘Vinehester Bank of Messrs. Dean and Littlehales bad suspended their payments.— That Bank is ready to pay all demands that can be made upon it, either at Winchester, or at Mr. Bentel'a, broker, Angel-court, Throgmor ton-street. .661..bY.%++..,b. . , !
