The Committee regret to state that there has been as yet no di minution in the distress of the Spitaifields Weavers. Their re sources, however, are almost dried up, and if the public do not continue their liberality, the pittance which the Committee have hitherto been enabled to afford to these suffering fellow-creature must be stopped. There are now thousands wholly dependent for their maintenaneelon the money which the liberality of the Public enables them to afford, but they have only sufticier.t for their sup. port during another week. The Committee are now personally visiting the cases of this distressed, but respectable. class, anti, as far as they have gone, they can bear mimesis to the severe pressure under which they arc suffering, and the exemplary patience with which they bear It. Under these circumstances, they are sure this fresh appeal to the charity of the British Public will not be in vain. Amount before advertised . .C 24,103 15e. 11d. E. s. X. a.

To Noblemen, Gentlemen, Coach Proprietors, Post-masters, Livery Stable-keepers, Brewers, and Others. lIIHE PREPARED LINSEED, as a Stopping for 11 Horses' Feet, has for years been used in the Stable Depart ment of his Majesty, and it is highly approved in all cases of irri tation, inflammation, sand cracks, or injured frogs. The application of the prepared Linseed will be found invaluable. See 11r. Good win's Publication, Ist and 2d Edition, pages 272 and 340, on the treatment of Horses' Feet. in which he particularly recommends the Prepared Linseed, in preference to any other stopping, for keepins the foot and hoof in a cool and healthy state ; where the hoof is shallow it is paricularly serviceable, as it tends to increase the growth of it. In fact it only require. to be known, wketidoubtless It will become a requisite in the stable department of every noble man and gentleman in the kingdom. Mr. G. also ewes in hi.

IiIiTLER'S VEGETABLE TOOTH POWDER has so long been in general use, that it is almost unnecessary to offer any further recommendation of it. Composed of Vegetables, without the admixture of any mineral or pernicious ingredient whatever, it is free from the usual objection against the use anther Dentifrices. Its detersive power is just sufficient to annihilate those destructive particles which adhere to the Gums and the inter. sties of the Teeth ; healing it.juries in the former, and promoting a new enamel (where it has been injured or corroded) on the latter. It likewise -imparts a firmness and healthy redness to the Gums ; and if regularly used, will preserve the Teeth in a sound state to old age. Sold in Boxes. at 2s 2(1., by Butlers, Chemists, 4.

The only cause brought before the Court was the King against William Sutliff, a mulatto, for maltreating a female slave, his own property. Mr. Smith, the police officer, Mated that, some time about the beginning of last year, a complaint was made to the Sitting Magis trates by Mr. Rennie, who lived next doer to Suthff, of his being continually annoyed by his flogging a negro girl, who we under stood was kept in chains in the yard. Two constables were sent up to bring her down, hut they were not athnitted into the house ; he WWI then directed to call himself and see the parties: lie did an, and, except the marks of a workhouse flogging. he did not conceive her appearance at that time called for the interference of the Magis trates, hut advised Mr. Sutliff to be more moderate in his conduct towards her. In the month of May, the girl came herself before the Sitting Magistrates, and showed marks of punishment on va rious parts of her body, and cuts about hi r head, and in fact was a picture of (Dames. Sutliff acknowledged he had cut her with a knife, because she had brought him a dirty plate. The Magis trates took her out of his possession, and sent her to the workhouse, to be fed at his expense, but rot worked. Witness was desired to inquire amongst the neighbours for evidence to prosecute him, but he could not get any to come formed ; during this time, the owner made rep ..:tied applications for hie slave, but was always advised to dispose of her. In August she was given up to hie, oil this express condition, that she was immediately to be disposed of; indeed it was understood she was already sold. Verret this time wit-.ess heard no more of her, until the 21.kh of Jiolpirf hot, • when the mother of the girl came to witness, deseriVrilt the state In which her daughter then was, in the house of SOW. 'Witness brought ti.e mother before the Sitting Magistrates, Messrs. Yates and Dry. don, who, on hearing het recital, Sent immediately for the girl ; her appearance them was wretched; site bore the appearance of starve don, her bones nearly coming through her skin, •naked, except a rag, thrown round her body, and spree and marks of flogging all over her body; three sores on the head were full of matter; never saw such a picture of distress and itl usage before. After leaving her. and going home, reflecting on the cuts on the head, and not knowing their depth or their nature. sent a note to Dr. Chamber hinet requeatisg hint to call at the Ositeed-house and look at her, which he did. She was the !motley sent to the workhouse, and on the following Monday brought before the Common Council, who ordered the prosecution. Dr. Chamberlsine said he was requested by the police of to call at thegluard-house, and sec the negro belonging to Mr. Sutliff: She was a shocking sight, starved and naked, with wounds smi bruises on several parts of her body, three wounds on her head,• the largest on the front, apparently made by a blunt instrument. Mr. Yates was Sitting Alderman of the week, when Rebecca was brought before him ; would not now know her to be the same person ; she was thegreatest object of distress he had ever seen. Mr. Lyon, supervisor of the St. Andrew** workhouse.—Mr. Sutliff brought the girl Rebecca to the workhouse in August, and saw her get thirty-nine lashes: directed hex to he kept there at hard labour ; in October she became sick, ani witness advised her to he taken out, which was done. Jeffry (a black) lives next door to Sutliff, and has heard and seen bins daily, from the time Rebecca came last from St. Andrew's workhouse, flogging hir. sometimes with a hunt ing and sometimes with a horsewhip at all times she was made to go about the house and yard naked, with a chain I round her waist, frequently made to drink urine, and flogged until she did so, lie telling her that was made for negrocs to drink; witness has frequently remonstrated with Sutliff for his cruel conduct; he always replied be did not care ; she was his property, he paid his money for her, and he would do with her as he liked; and even if they should take her from him again, a few doubloons given to any one of them fellows (meaning the li~acistrates) would soon get her back again. David Ross (bleat) lives near Sutliff, and from his own yard can see into the house and yard of traverser; has daily w;i named his cruel treatment of Rebecca since her last coming out of Halfway-Tree workhouse, flogging her more than ten tiniest' a-day, and frequently in the morning pouring the urine out of the chamber-glass into a wash-hand basin, and flogging her until she drank it; never told this to any ow until called open by the girl's mother. who begg.d him to' go with her to Mr. Smith, he having told her to get some free persons to tell what Mr. Sutliff did to her daughter. Mr. Alowatt—Lives next door to Sutliff; has frequently heard him threatening that he would punish any one who came to give evidence against him, particularly that d—.—d rascal, Robert Smith, the police officer, and the whole of them—even the Lawyers, too, were rogues ; at one time heard him telling his housekeeper what she was to swear to on the trial, but .she seemed to refuse so to do ; soon after he heard a flogging and a female 'greenling; believes it was the housekeeper.—Case for the Crown closed. One or two evidences were called on behalf of the traverser, but the Court told his Counsel unless they oassant to disprove the facts sewed by the evidences of the Crown. they need not bring them up. The Counsel, Meusri. Rennana and JgAqs, replied tbq were aware of that—they had not one word to say. The Jury instantly re turned their verdict Guilty : SutlifTwas ordered into•the custody 'of the Marshal, and taken away so gaol, followed by an immense crowd, of all colours, re joicing that he was about to receive his deserts. This inhuman wretch was himself formerly a slave, and. while in that situation of life, was kindly treated by his owner, till he at length obtained his freedom. In 1814, after having wrought for some years at the saddlery business, he offered himself as a servant to attend a gentleman of this city, who was going to England, and having scraped an acquaintance while in London with Mr. Tilly, an eminent saddler, he obtained a loan of fifteen pounds sterling from the gentlemen lie went With to purchase some articles in that line from Mr. T. who gave him a small quantity of goods on credit in addition, and fur some years afterwards sent him some shipments, consigned to the late James Turner Harris, Esq. of this city, who was so friendly t•iwards him, that lie frequently gave him bills of exchange to remit for them, and indulged him as suited his convenience for the payment of them. The return he made for these acts of kindness was, within the last few years. to insult Mr. William Harris, the brother of the deceased gentleman, for per. forming his duty as a Magistrate, when his case had come before him. HIGH COURT OF JUSTICIARY. EDIN URG lI,MONDAT, Jut: •3. James Martin, late a soldier in the 88th foot, and now a labourer, residing in the Castlehill, was put to the bar, on • charge of murder, in so far as lie did, on the sth April last, in or near Craw ford's Close, Castlehill, attack and assault Jane Young, residing in the Castle Wyril, and give her several kicks and blows on the breast and side, which broke eight of her ribs on the left side, of which she died four days after in the Royal Infirmary. The prisoner pleaded Not Guilty.

Lord PIT MILLY—Are you sure that you cannot speak English a Yes, Sir. (Great laughter.) James 51‘Donald was called as an interpreter, and after being sworn to interpret faithfully and truly, the questions put to the witness and the answers, he administered the oath to the wit , neas in Gaelic. Witness lives in the Castlehill, near to Craw. ford's Close; was at her own door on the morning of the sth of April last, between the hours of five and six, when she observed dece ised and pannel both miming up the stair in which she resides ; they were chasing one another; observed deceased have some stones in her hand, but did not see her throw any of them ; heard pannel and deceased speaking violently together, but did not under. stand what they were saying. Cross-examined—Deceased was foremost when witness saw her and pannel running up the stair. The declaration of the deceased, emitted in the Royal Infirmary, was then read, by which it appeared that she was 47 years of age. [The facts, as stated in the declaration, were at variance with the evidence in many points, and seemed evidently dictated by jealousy, resentment, and revenge.] Elizabeth' M'Donald or Cameron, examined—Witness resided in Crawford's Close in April last; knew Jane Young. the de. ceased, who at that dins lived in the adjoining close, which goes by the name of the Water Company's Close; knows the panne' at the bar by sight; has seen him about Young's house; recollects deceased coming into her house, the door of which was standing open, on the morning of the sth April, between the hours of five and six ; deceased appeared to be agitated, and was followed by the pannel; they struggled for a few minutes with one another; deceased said, she would stone pannel to death if he did not keep away from her; pannel quitted deceased, and went out of wit ness's house followed by the deceased, but in a few minutes they both came running into the house again, the deceased entering first, and a violent struggle tank place between them ; saw no blows given, and did not observe any marks of violence on deceased's person at this time; saw no stones in deceased's hand; did not think pannel or deceased drunk at this time ; they struggled toge ther for a few minutes in the house, after which both went out, and witness shat her door and did not see them afterwards. William) Hunter, examined—ls a surzeon in the Royalj Infir mary; recollects the deceased being taken into that establishment on Sth April last, but as it was one o'clock, and after the daily visit was over, witness (lid not see her till next day ; considered her life to be in the greatest danger from the great pain the deceased felt ; they did not minutely examine the extent of the injury ; she died on the Ptii, and the day after the body was opened. [Here the Witness read a very full medical report of the case.) Has no doubt that the deem of Jane Young was occasioned by these in juries. The following witnesses were then examined in exculpation. Eliza Haig—Pannel left some bags of coals at witness's house on the evening of the 4th, and he came for the bags next morning be. tween six and seven ; on coming in he sat down, appearing to be in desplir, and said that he could not go about his master's business for a blackguard woman murdering him with stones witness con siders the pannel to be an holiest and peaceable man. Rebecca Stewart corroborated the above witness. IVIr. ALISON, Advocate-Dmpute, addressed the Jury for time Crown, and remarked, that although the indictment charged the pannel with tile crime of murder, it was in the power of the Jury to return a verdict of culpable homicide. He would leave the case in their hands, fully sensible that they would return such a verdict as the evidence which had been led would enable them to form. Mr. CAR LYLE: for the panne!. addressed the Jury at great length. lie admitted that the deceased was killed by violence, nay further. that she met her death through his instrumentality, but coupled with circumstances which would render it impossible to re turn a verdict of murder, end even difficult to find him guilty of culpable homicide ; as it was clear, from the evidence, that it was jealousy which prompted the deceased to use the provoking lan guage and threats towards the panncl when he wan going on his law ful business, which led to such melancholy results. Under these circumstances, he did not know how they could find the pannel guilty of culpable homicide without strongly recommending him to mercy. The Jury, after retiring a few minutes, returned a verdict, find , ing the panne' Guilty of culpable homicide. Lied Pr T3ll LLY-1 certainly think that you have done perfectly right in leaning to the side of mercy, where there was any doubt, as In the present case. Lord Macimerrzte—My Lords, we have now this unfortunate man charged with the crime of murder, on which the Jury, taking a merciful view of the case, have returned • verdict of culpable homicide; but we cannot but look upon it as a very aggravated ease, and required very erring provocation indeed to prevent it heing a case of murder. The woman was in that state of violence from jealousy, and the panned in that state of perturbation and fear. which, if it did not justify him, it at least rendered him less cri. minal ; but still, making all p ssible it is impossible for me to think, considering that the sufferer was a woman, that any provocation., however great, could hire caused the panne! to mike such an atrocious attack on the deceased. Although lie did not even at the time intend to commit any enormous bodily injury, still, whatever were his intentions, they discovered the greased and most ontrageoas violence. Under such circumstances, I would not be doing my duty to your Lordships were I to propose a less punishment than transportation for fourteen years. In this opinion Lord A LLOWAV shortly concurred; and, after en address from Lo rdl'i T L the pannel was sen tented accordingly. " SEPARATE MEETIFG" OF ROMAN CATHOLICS. A "Separate Meeting" of Roman Catholic Gentlemen took place at the Cora-ncehange, Dublin, on Wednesday, Mr. Bric in the Chair. 31r. I reorirXELL addressed the Meeting at length. Ile came, he said, to read hit recantation upon the subject of the forty-shit. ling freeliold.wing. (Cheers.) And now he conceded, that in the opinion he had given op that subject. he had been in error. lie had, for the wike• of preserving unanimity. heretofore assented to the general wish of the Catholic Body, but had still reserved his own right of private judgment on that subject. He conceded that he had been wrong. His judgment was no longer on that sub ject what it had been—he was totally, changed. Ile need not advert to the mine which have recently occurred throughout Ireland t the forty-shilling freeholders have everywhere eman cipated themselves from their political thraldom—they have burst through those bonds and fetters which have hitherto held them in sla'very. He, • therefore, felt he would be doing them a great wrong, and ininking his own judgment, if he did not return them his thanks for the boundless patriotism, the love of country and religion which they exhibited everywhere. They dis played a heroic example. worthy the imitation of those in the more elevated walks of life. The delusion tinder which he had laboured is gone for ever. The error, he confessed, was purely his own—the merit was entirely theirs. lie, therefore, now solemnly declared, that he would not accept of Emancipation in any way in return f,ie the slightest infringement on ihe eleciive franchise, or coupled with what has been termed "the .P)eehold wing." Mr. O'Connell now , briefly adverted to the great effort( wluefrhad been made at Water- I ford, Westmeath, !ninth, Alonaghari,- And Armagh. These facts had totally blotted from his mind what he would term the miscon struction he erroneously put upon this branch of the elective fran chise. He now only found fault with this valuable privilege in its not being more extensive; although not is. love with the detail, he concurred most heartily in the principle etf % the forty-shilling free- holders. He now considered emancipation not worth accepting, if coupled with any initingtment on that franchise. He moved, therefore— " That we deem it our ditty, publicly and solemnly to declare, that we will net accept of Emancipation, accompanied by any in fringement whatsoever on the tlective franchise of the forty-shilling freeholders." Mr. N. P. Gon MAN Baia, he would allow no man to second that resolution but himself. (Loud laughter ) A gentleman observed, " You need not fear while you hold that stick.' Mr. SIIIEL said, when certain of the Irish Catholics who were employed to negnciate the Ithertiea of Ireland assented to a modi fication of the elec . ive franchise, they formed an csimate of the Irish peasant, which great events had proved to he erroneous. Mr. Peel and Mr. Foster, and the rest of the advocates of the forty.shilling freeholders, were in the right. More Lberal and enlightened Statesmen, who asserted the rights of the lower orders with such unaffected and disinterested strenuousness. may appeal with pride to the great national incidents which havi re cently taken place, and which afford so powerful an illustra tion of the soundness of their reasoning, in defence of those privileges, at whose expense it was proposed that Roman Catholic Emancipation should be purchased. The election of Louth, for example, will supply Mr. Leslie Foster with more arguments in opposition to any Bill which may be in troduced with a view to the disfranchisement of his tenantry. Be may inform the House, that preferring the dictates of their con science to the suggestions of individual interest, the peasastry of Louth revolted against the Protestant aristocracy, and that while he had only a majority of five beyond Mr. Fortescue, the popular Candidate was returned by a majority of three hundred votes, and left them behind at an ignominious distance. (Hear, hear.) It must be owned by the warmest admirers of Mr. Plunket and Sir Francis Burdett, that the Orange party in the House of Commons are supplied with facts which must close the mouths of their adversaries, and that the purity, the integrity, the firm ness, and determination of the forty-shilling freeholders are now unequivocally and incontrovertibly established. (Much cheering.) But, Sir, let me lay the language of mockery aside, and turn, in the spirit of seriousness, which becomes events of so much importance, to the great illustration of the moral and political feelings of the people, which recent incidents have supplied. A simultaneous and universal revolt against the aristocracy has taken place—lreland has been to a certain extent revolutionized. flow has this come to pus ? Bow has this extraordinary change been effected ? Through what means has this transformation been produced? Not very lo tg ago the peasanty lay in abject prostration before their landlords. They were driven to the hustings as the beasts to the shambles. They were placed, in a relation as base and as inglorious as the serfs or "villains" of the feudal law, and as they drew their breath, so they gave their voices at the will of their Lords. But upon a sudden these de graded, these wretched and servile beings, who seemed to have nothing of humanity but its shape, started into the dignity of manhood, threw off their debasements and dependence, and rose up to the level of full and independent citizenship. A ge neral resurrection took place. The energy of the country that had so long lain dead was resuscitated. The trumpet sound ed and it awoke. (Cheers.) And whence did that voice, which has called up the vigour, the energies, and the virtue of Ireland into animation and Into life, whence did that voice proceed? I do not exaggerate when I say, that we behold, in the events which are passing around us, the results of the Catholic Asrociation. We! (I tine the went emphatically.) we have accomplished all these great, these glorious, and useful things—we have roused this most potent and indomitable spirit—we have awakened the people to a noble consciousness of their religious and political duty—toe have taught them " how to know their rights"—and after having im pressed them with a just sense of their value, we have instructed them " how to maintain" those noble privileges, of which we had instructed them to form a lofty estimate. (Coati cheering.) It Is not with any feelings of shame that I confess, but I avow with a lofty pride, that we have kindled this great, this wide ex pansive flame, which envelopes the country. We have applied the torch, which has set the popular passions on fire. (Cheers.) Let them, if they will, snatch the torch from our hands—let them take from us the means of exciting the national mind—let them pass Catholic Emancipation. (Cheers.) It is from the Penal Code that all our power is derived. We drew our political influence from those passions, which the systtem of disqualification has pre pared, and which it requires so little art to kindle. The agitators, the incendiaries, or whatever else they please to term the men who have manifested such indefatigable zeal, and such an inexhaus tible alacrity, in the work of national excitement, would be flung into . instantaneous insignificance, and be not only deprived of the faculty, but be cured of the inclination, of rousing die pas sions of the people. Catholic Emancipation will sentence every demagogue to political annihilation. But if the Legislature have not the wisdom to see this, and persevere in the system of die qualification which has had the effect of marshalling and confeder ating seven trillions of the Irish people, the cons, quence will be, that instead of confining the ascendancy of the Protestants, the su periority of the Roman Catholic will be ultimately produced —we shall be mamas of the representation of Ireland. (Cheers.) We have already beaten the Orange faction out of their strong holds, and improving upon our success, having acquired a confidence in our resenuces—having learned what union and organization can effect, we shall not leave a single Orange Representative in Ireland. Look for example at Louth. In forty-eight hours' none' we bent the whole Protestant Aristocracy to the ground. I am not given to boasting, but this I may venture to assert, that however unconnec'. ed with the county, I could without any considerable exertion, nay almost with the more of my finger, have thrown Mr. Leslie Foster out of the county. 1 forbore to make any vigorous exertions against him, in the hope that he may turn the lesson which he has re ceived to good account. But if lie does not—if he is determined to bid defiance to the people—if he is dead to all admonition, he never shall represent Louth again. And litre, Sir, I cannot refrain from • ' expressing my regret, that however much we may have done, re ahnuld li•tve accomplished more. How disgracefuicia it to ti e Catholics of M'eafottl that la , rl Stoprord aholtld represent that county. Had Mr. Chiclicatcr relied a 'little snore • upon Om popular feeling. instead of calculating the effect of that in gluttons coalition which halt been efficted between Xt. Carew and the Orange Member, he would have superseded tpe heir to the House of Courtown. I trust. however, that his error will be speedily repaired, and that neither Wexfor I nor any other county in Ireland, will he degraded by an Orange Representative. The first prayer is this—that Catholic Emancipation may peas, and put an end to the furious animosities by which we are separ^•^ o from each other. But if It Mall not pasw--if the Legislature t..ic withhold that great national boon, then, let the consequences be what they met', ler the passions of the people have their scope. It is not our fault if the fountains of' bitterness are still left unaealgd and it will sca'recly be our • care to check them in their abundance, and to restrain - their flow. And how (that Is a question *bleb I wish to put to every sober-minded Protestant), how, in the name of God, In all thic to end ? Does any man imagine that political events will mak , : a stand, and come to a halt? Does any man think that nothing, of any serious consequence will aria, from all that we behold ? It Is not any mere temporary and evanescent exhibition which we have attested. The displ ay of national resolre is not a mere ehullitiorrof popular instability. The tide of public emotion will not fall beirk and ebb away from the height to which it has • mended. It will not undergo any refine, but will con tinue to roil on and Oh ground with every breaker. It has no I subsiding quality—ft will net retreat—it IX-- • Like the Pontic sea, Whose icy current, and compulsive course, Neer feels returning ebb. The Resolution was carried. A vote of thanks wax pooled to the liberal eleotors of England, who have en powerfully relived the" No Puptry" cry: Seconded by Mr. LAW I.FSS. A resolution congratulating the Catholic electors of Ireland, more especially the forty-shilling freeholders, on their disinterested and patriotic exertions to put down the advocates of bigotry and.opprea mon in Ireland. was then passed. Alm. a vote of '• Most respectful thanks to the Catholic Clergy of Ireland for their patriotic devotion to the cause of their country." Mr. O'Cosrynt.r. adverted to the new Catholic and patriotic campaign. The Generat Catholic Petition ohould be placed on the table of Parliament the tir,t day of the Session. The Provincial. County, and Parochial Meetings to be held-throughout Ireland. and a book to be opened id which gentlerhen would enrol their names, pledging themselves to make every effiirt' to promote the above objects. Mr. O'DwYnn addressed the Meeting at some length. Mr. Brie then vacated, and Mr. O'Dwyer was called to the Chair, when, after the customary vote of thanks, the Meeting ad.. journed to Friday. ~d N .„, . , t t I : II i ) 1 ; ,i• 1 ; " lb 1 r i 1 ,I i ; • ~ : 4 1. 11 d e 1 I 11 ', . i 1 1 74 I 1 I MANUFACTURING DISTRfCTS. DISTRESS IN LANCASHIRE. The To 'lowing is an extract from a letter written by Mr. Na thaniel Itrowobill, of Charley, a gentleman whose respectable character is a sufficient guarantee of the truth of the statement his communication contains. IVe respectfully submit it to the co ‘- s id era tmo of th e committee who have the distribution of the fund raised in Liverpool in aid of the suffering mechanics of Lanca shire, &c.

On all sides we hear of mills bring put to work shorter time, or altogether shut up, and nevertheless prices, both of goods and yarn, seem to get lower and lower.

During the present week, alarming rumours have been circulated in this town, of expected riots in the neighbourhood of Blackburn, rte. where it was said large meetings of the unemployed Weaver's had taken place. We are happy to learn, however, that no dis orderly proceedings have occurred. On Tuesday evening, there were partial a,sem blies of people in the market-place at Blackburn, and the Magistrates thought it nece.sary, in consequence. to read the Riot Art, on which the crowd immediately dispersed. have been informed. however, on very good authority, that person,. calling themselves delegates, and coming chiefly from the distrie: to the eastward of Blackburn, have for some time past beep travers ing the country in various directions, urging the people to Fold meetings for the purpose of considering what ineasuresehey shall adopt to improve their condition; and Informing them than meetings would beheld at different periods which they mentioned:Mendel was one of the days spoken of, and the place pointed out was flunblerom, • hill, not far from Accrington; but we believe no muting, at least none of any consequence, took place. We wish we could ex press a well-grounded hope that no such assemblages will occur, and that the peace of this important manufacturing district will be preserved; but it is greatly to be feared that the extreme sufferings of the labouring population, and rite incitements of violent and de signing men, will ultimately produce a dreadful explosion. unless some very prompt measures are taken to preveru it. The civil and military authorities, we are happy to say, are on the alit. in every quarter; and it will be seen. from another paragraph in our present publication, that additional troops are on their route towards this district ; so that any tuninhuous movements would. no doubt, be immediately put down. It is lamentable, however, to reflect on the loss of lives, and the other disastrous consequences which must re sult from to.y conflict between the starving people and the military ; and it would be inlinitely better to prevent it by sonic decisive mea sures for alleviating the existing distreu. That there is no imme diate prospect of any such improvement in trade as will be likely to furnish employment to the thousands who are at present destitute of it, every one will now admit. In feet, the number of persons out of work is stated to be locreasing every day. It is equally clear that neither poor-rates nor charitable contribu tions will long suffice to support the immense number of persw .s now dependent upon them. What then must be done? Time only resource appears to be in the interposition of Goverument. and the grant of a liberal sum from the public revenue. Ministers, we are aware, have urged that such a measure would afford a dangerous precise-lent in future periods of distress. This may be true ; but every case must be argued on its own merits ; it is the duty of tio vernnaent--a duty paramount to almost all other considerations—to prevent the people from starving to death, and to rescue them front that military execution. which, we are greatly apprehensive, must ensue, unless their sufferings meet with some prompt alleviator , . We tear, however, that Ministers are by no theme well informed of the red situation of the manufacturing districts. and specially of the north-eastern part of the county of Lancaster : if they were, we think they would see the absolute necessity of doing something to mitigate an extent of distress, which no hnmane person can con template without shuddering—no considerate one reflect on without the most painful anxiety. - - CAUTION TO Barumus.--On the With ult. at eliorltoo - an Inquest was held on the body of Widnon Brun. drett.
