We still continue to have very unsettled weather, and since last week a considerable quantity of rain has fallen ; the low lands are flooded, and it is a generally received opinion that considerable damage must be the consequence in those situations. lhe show of wheat to-day was not large, but for the best samples the farmers were demand ing considerably higher rates; on the business done an ad vance of 80. to 4s. per quarter has been obtained, and in the secondary qualities and old foreign we note an advance of Is. to 2e. per quarter on the terms of last week. Ther e is some inquiry after wheat is bond, and fine qualities tvntild sell freely : of this description we have not much here. Beans are held at more money, and a few fresh thrashed parcels obtain 6d. to Is. per quarter advance, very little passing in those under lock. Oats are better sale than last week, but we cannot note any advance in prices. Barley nominal. Linseed in more request, and at improving prices.

PUBLIC MEETING OF THE SILK TRADE A public meeting was held yesterday at the Lon ' don Tavern, for the purpose of appointing a.Com mittee of the Silk Trade, with a view to furnish Government with information relative to the de pressed state of the Silk Trade. At about half-past two o'clock Wm. KAY, Esq., was called to the Chair. The worthy CHAIRMAN then said, that a depu tation from the Silk* Trade had waited upon his Majesty's Ministers expressing a wish that further information should be afforded them, and in conse quence of this the present Meeting was called, for the purpose of appointing a Committee to collect the required information. A series of resolutions Would be proposed for their consideration, upon which he should be happy to hear the opinions of the meeting. The following Resolution was then moved, se conded, and agreed to by the meeting:- Ist, Resolved, That the Silk Trade of the United King dom, in all its departments, forms a very important branch of the industry of the country, both with respect to the 1 ' employment which it furnishes to a large proportion of the labouring classes, and to the very considerable amount of capital which has been embarked in it. Mr. WITTS, in proposing the next Resolution, said that the object of the meeting was to appoint a Committee to collect such facts as may come to their knowledge, and for the purpose of communi c4ting them to the Government during the next twelve or eighteen months. It was proposed that the Committee should constitute a union of all branches of the Silk Trade, and not merely repre sent the interests of a separate branch. This was the object of the meeting; and, however different the opinions of persons may be, on this point, he felt that the interests of all branches were intimately connected, and that no lasting good could continue to one branch of trade, while the others were op pressed. He believed the meeting would agree ' with him, when lie stated in the words of the Re solution, that the provisions of the Act, 1826, in tended by his Majesty's Ministers to protect the different interests of the Silk Trade, at the same time that they admitted the introduction of foreign wrought silks upon a rate of duty, estimated at 30 pey cent. had been found from the experience of two years to subject the trade to great difficul ties (indeed, he might say, nearly to destruction), which have increased in proportion as the foreign manufacture has found the means of supplying the British markets, at a reduced price, with a more abundant production of foreign countries. If Gen tlemen coincided with this resolution, they would lay the foundation for the appointment of a Commit ter, and for the inquiry which that Committee pro posed to institute. He concluded by moving the Resolution, the substance of which was embodied in his speech. The Resolution► was seconded and agreed to. Mr. BALLANE, in proposing the third Resolution, felt gratified that the intention of the meeting was directed to one point, that of stating facts, rather than discussing opinions. Facts as regarded the manufacture itself, and the difficulties which, for the last two years, the trade and those connect ed with it, had experienced. With the reasons of these difficulties the meeting at present had nothing to do. And the Resolution now in his hand was of the same character with the two former ones. It stated what he thought could not be con troverted, that the trade and manufacture of silks, although in activity, were still suffering under great depression. The Resolution embraced two points— the first alluded to the unprecedented consumption of silk goods in this country; and the second was as to the state of the British manufacture. He would, with the leave of the meeting, dispose of the latter first. The Resolution said that the British manufacture was becoming less and less active; he asked whether that were true or false ?—(Cries of it is true, it is true.)—He asked the manufacturers pre sent to compare the activity of their trade in the Autumn of 1826,—f0r he preferred that period of the year for the purpose of comparison --with the condition of the trade in the Autumn of 1827, and to tell him whether the activity was not greater in the Autumn of 1826 than in the corre sponding months of the last year ? Let them also compare the condition of the trade this time twelve months with its present state, and he was sure that they would come to the same conclusion, that its activity was diminished. The next statement of the resolution was that there was a great depreciation of the capital embarked in the silk trade. In deed, he might safely say that the capital was dimi nished not less than one-half since the changes in the system. Upon a rough estimate, the capital employed amounted to about three millions, and was it a trifling circumstance, that such a diminution to such an extent should take place ? He put it to the manufacturers, whose capital was disposable, whether that capital yielded, much more than Government securities on that outlay. The resolution further stated, that there was a great reduction in wages. If he were to consider the broad silk weavers of the metropolis alone, he would say that that reduction amounted to 25 per cent., and that the reduction in some parts of the country, as far as regarded throw ing, amounted from thirty to forty per cent. (Hear.) He put it to the meeting, as men of moral feeling, whether they could extract one-fourth of their wages from the labouring classes, without subjecting them to manifest distress ? He put it to them, whether when they withdrew so large a proportion of the wages, they did not lay the foundation of moral debase ment ? If they disbelieved it, let them go to the attics of the weavers, and contrast their present state with what they were three years ago. Then it would be seen how much the comparison was in favor of their former condition. This was but the natural conse quenee, for when a man after a week's toil finds that he has not a sufficiency for himself and family, he becomes reckless, he sees that his industry avails him not, he cares less for the moral order of his family, and less for the education of his children when he found them doomed to be paupers. --(Hear, hear.)—Many of the labouring classes were now wholly out of employment. No one could doubt this, as.it was vouched by the most respectable authority from. Manchester. Even in this Metropo lis a great number of looms were now out of em ployment. Although this could not be controverted, statements were made on the other side, particularly in the Commons, apparently irreconcileable. IL was there said that there was au increased importation of the raw material, and that therefore there must be increased activity - in the home manufacture. He would not now enter fully upon this point : feel ing satisfied that when the time came, the Com mittee would be prepared to meet and to neo tralize that argument.—(Applause.)—lf, indeed, weight was identical, with length, there would be some force in the arguments derived from increased importation of the raw material; for it should be remembered, that a yard of silk, no matter what its weight be, is still a yard. At all events, it was evident that the trade was in distress, that capi tal was depreciated, and people out of employment, and this too at a time when silks were greatly in fashion, and when, in the word s o f t h e Resolution,there was, moreover, a n unprece d ented consumption of silk goods. He should, h owever , be sorry that any gentleman left the room with the idea that this Resolution anticipated any thing like the overwhelming destruction of the Silk Trade. He, for one, had no such anticipations. The Act of 1826 was not that tornado which levelled the stateliest tree with one blast of heaven to the ground.--(Great applause.)--Nv; it was the worm at the root, silently and insidiously work- ' ing its destruction.--(llear, hear, hear.)--The tree would not fall at once, a single branch would be found withering, whilst another by its side was shooting out to an unnatural length and with an unnatural foliage. Still another and another falls, and in the end all are involved in one common decay.—(Applause.)--Far be it from him to anticipate what the proper remedy would be for this evil, it would be enough for the present purpose to state that the Silk Trade was entitled to protec tion, and that his Majesty's Ministers were desirous of giving the subject all the attention in their power. Mr. B. concluded by moving the following Reso lution That although there has continued up to the present period an unprecedented consumption of silk goods, the na tural effect of which would have been to place the silk manufacture of this country in a state of increased pros perity, yet the British silk manufacture is manifestly be coming less active. Capital has suffered a great depreciation, the rate of wages has been greatly reduced, and a considerable number of artieans are now thrown out of employment. On the Resolution being put from the chair, Mr. MOORE begged to express his dissent from some of the statements contained in it; he denied that there was an unprecedented consumption of silk goods, or that there was any want of employment. (Cries of oh ! oh ! and hear, hear.) He maintained that there was no such want of employment ; the silk looms were in fact increasing. (Oh ! oh!) In many places the manufacturers were converting cot ton looms into silk looms. (Cries of " 'tis false," and " where, where.") [A Gentleman in the body of the meeting said that the silk looms were increasing in Essex.] Mr. MOORE said that it was equally true with re spect to Derby and Manchester. He would appeal to the Chairman whether there was not an increase of silk looms ? The CnAtnntAN—Certainly not. Mr. MOORE resumed—There might be distress among the weavers of Spitalfields, but this must be expected as long as the absurd prejudices which pre vailed there lasted.—(Hisses, and cries of hear.) — He contended that the mere fact of an increased im- portation of the raw material necessarily proved an increased activity in the trade. This observation applied to throwsters. It was clear that if 8,000,000 pounds of raw silk are imported, a greater number of men must be employed than if two millions only were imported. He admitted that there had been a depreciation of capital some time since, from which he, as well as other mannfacturers, suffered, bat it was not so at present.--(Oh, oh ! " 'tis false.")--If, as had been said, wages were reduced twenty five per cent., they were still as high as they had been at former times, when provisions were not cheaper then they were at present. It was well known that wages had within the last few years been raised at least twenty per cent., owing to the dearness of provisions, but as that cause no longer existed, it was but fair that wages should come down to their proper level. The grand grievance, however, was that the profits of the Silk Trade were lower than they had been; but if these profits were lower than the profits of other manufactures, how came it that persons were investing their capital in the Silk Trade every day. A Gentleman. from Manchester said that there had been a most extensive discharge of hands in the Silk Trade during the last few months. In Macclesfield a great number had been discharged, and many hundred looms were idle. Many factories were empty, and in others the machinery was only working for a limited time. In Congleton they worked only five days in the week, instead of six. The CHAIRMAN, in reply to one observation of Mr. Moore's, said that he himself employed 2000 looms less than he had done in May, and he feared that he should be obliged to carry his reductions still farther. Mr. BAKEWELL said, that he had a few observa tions to make with respect to the silk weavers, but he was for some short time unable to get a hear ing; when he did, however, obtain a hearing, he said that great activity had prevailed in the City in the Silk Trade during the last few days.—(Cries of no, and laughter, mingled with hisses.)—ln Spital fields such an increase had taken place. The Corn. mittee, he said, was a packed one, to serve particu. lar purposes. lie would say on the part of the manufacturers, that if they could get a reduction of the duty on raw silk, Spitalfields would be again in activity, even though the duty on the foreign manufactured article were reduced to 171, or even 15 per cent.—(Cries of No, no, and hisscs.)—A number of French manufacturers had been throwing goods on the British market at so cheap a rate as to cause a depression, but then they had ruined themselves in doing so, and such an occurrence was not likely again to take place. The Proposer of the Resolution denied the in creased activity in Spitalfields, and at the same time deprecated discussion, as the Committee was only appointed for the purposes of inquiry. A Manufacturer said that he had it from Messrs. Lait and Co. of Old Change, that they at prescut did nothing except in jobs. Now, for the benefit of the gentlemen of the press, he would explain what was meant by jobs. A Gentleman begged to say that the explanation would be quite unnecessary, for the gentlemen of the press, from their constant attendance at the House of Commons, must be perfectly well ac quainted with the nature of jobs.--(A laugh.) The Manufacturer, i n con ti nuat i on , said jobs in the Silk Trade meant purchases made after the article was manufactured at a very low price. He had himself been applied to since Monday morning by upwards of 200 labourers seeking employment, and some of them belonged to Mr. Moore. lie then contended that the only way in which we had at all been able to compete with the foreign manu facturers was by making a victim of the weaver. Mr. C. Grant had argued that employ ment must have been increased, because the quan tity of raw silk imported had doubled itself : but in order to show that this argument could not be re lied on, he would instance the statement of Lord Liverpool some years ago, who in allusion to the state of starvation of the people of Ireland con 'tended that it was caused by an abundant harvest; what then would become of his argument, if over production was attended with such effects ? The fact was, that at present the English peasant was bet ter off in jail than at liberty. The following Resolution was then proposed and adopted by the Meeting:— That his Majesty's Government having extended the operation of the Act of 1826 to the end of the next Ses sion of Parliament, and signified their intention to take into theit• early consideration the general interests of the Silk Trade, with a view to the adoption of some permanent measure, it is expedient to form a General Association of the Silk Tiade, which shall embrace the interests of all persons Ay he are engaged in the preparation and manufac ture of silk throughout the United Kingdom, sad that the same be formed under the title of " A General Association of the Silk Trade." A Treasurer and Committee were then appointed by the meeting, after which the following Resolu tion was also adopted :-- That the Committee be instructed to nse all practi cable means to obtain for the different interests of the trade that extent of protection which will promise a remunera tion in the employment of capital, and secure to the labour ing classes regular and anfticient employment. A subscription was then opened to defray the ex• pences of the Committee, thanks were voted to t he Chairman, and the meeting adjourned.

The day for the interment is not yet fixed, but it is understood that it will be either on Saturday or Tuesday. The funeral will, it is said, be a strictly private one, none but the friends and relations of the deceased, and the Bishops and Clergy of the Diocese, beii to be present. The lady of the new Bishop of CAR LISLE, one of the deceased Archbishop's daughters, and Mrs. CROFT, are at present in the palace at Lambeth.— There is not the slightest appearance about the palace, no 6' outside trappings of woe," whence a stranger might infer that its late possessor WO lying dead within its precincts.

BRIGHTON, JULY 23.—. Another of those extraordinary fluctuations which distinguish the game of cricket occurred yesterday, shortly after my letter was despatched. Several of the best men on the side of Sus sex were put in succession, and some of them before they had scored a run. The fielding of All England was so ad mirable, that it was almost an impossibility to do any thing against it. Such being the case, the innings of Sussex was quickly brought to a close, England being then 40 in advance. The second innings of All England then com menced, and when they left off at night they were 88 tt-head of Sussex.. This morning they have also played very well, and when their innings ended, they were as many as 206 in advance. Sussex then went in, and one of their best wickets (J. BROADBRIDGT) was put down without a 'ran. Baoww then went in, and at this mo ment be and THWAITES are playing rerywell, and getting runs very quietly. They are evidently playing with great caution ; and the interest, which bad before become slack, has mnch revived. Betting is 10 to 1, in some cases more, on England ; but I doubt whether there is so much money depending en the game as was the case last year. tt'nhye ingeniou s ai in adoption The Bury and Suffolk Herald, after copying the statement respecting emirs. from a Morning Paper on Monday, says:—" The above parageaph, like many which have appeared on the subject, is, we suspect, irnre imaginary than real.

SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The Silk Manufacturers held their proposed meeting yesterday at the Old London Tavern ; and their resolutions will be found in a part of this paper. As a reply to those resolutions , or a comment on them, we recommend the A l .:suer of our correspondent, signed " Delta." Fron: the statement of this gentleman, or rather from the book of sales, it appears that the price of raw silk at the India-house has mounted up, in the space of nine months, from 18s. - 9d. to I9s. 6d. for raw material of one quality ; and for that of another, from 21s. Bd. to 225. sd. ; for a third, from 21s. 3d. to 225. Bd. We suppose the ma nufacturers pay these advanced prices to let the articles purchased rot in their warehouses! Their looms are standing still, and there is no call for the manufactured article ! And yet they buy the raw at advanced prices ! Even some of those their h an d„. persqn s w h o pa id t h e a d vance d pr i ces h e ld t p n support of the resolution averring trade was ruined ! Poor men ! what. then twhiallt the th e do with their raw silk ? Probably to end their miseries w m i a t k h esilen c or e s o f i t , delicacy. However, the meeting was of a verycontradictory kind. Many persons of the most respectable a etble character asserted—what we re improving is the the trade has vin g ; and our correspon ihmayperoln,edo d an cn d th i t s dent Delta's letter is not the only evidence we publihave of the justness of these f r is r I t ) g h s e i ll r S p P o i opinions. Yet the c will recollect, that there have been many the pri ce o f l a b o u r journeymen weaver, by, dictation ; and if the effect of th ese r i s i ng• s t a e l ti o e f l d a s rr of a n t g li i g has been—such as we predicted—to drive a por tion of the trade elsewhere, it is not Mr. H us _ kisson's measures that have done the mischief to 'Spitalfields, but the artisans of Spitalfields them selves ; and the remedy would be, not the pro hibition of the silks of France, but the prohibi tion of those of Norwich, Macclesfield, Stamford, Manchester, and Derby. If the Spitalfields jour neymen,—and we would wish them to attend to this statement,—if they so raise the scale of their piecework- by combination, that the master manu facturer can have it done cheaper in the coun try, even with the additional expense of carriage up and down, in the country will his work be done; and the London artisan may sit under the shade of magnificent prices, in idleness, and starve. We would wish the silk weavers, Inas.- tors, and journeymen, both to understand that we have no interest in this question. We have considered it coolly, with a view to the advantage of the country generally. We certainly can gain nothing by defending the principles of an ex tinct Ministry ; but we do feel most conscien tiously, that the loosening the trammels by which commerce has been bound down, will, m the result, prove beneficial—first, to our own coun try, where the spirit of industry and cnterFise is most awake--and next, to all the world ; and if in the attainment of these objects tke system were at first to bear heavily upon some particular branches of industry, we should still defend it 4 but we do not think that the silk trade is that which has reason to complain : for to the sill: trade and to the shipping trade it has certainly been beneficial.-1 roses. (TILE FOLLOWING ARE THE FACTS ALLUPED TO IN DELTA'S LETTER.) I do not stop to characterize the proceedings themselves as having been unfairly conducted ; but I assert that the resolutions passed on this occasion, and the speeches of those who supported those reso lutions contain within themselves their own antidote, and may be brought to prove two things-Ist, that the evils stated to exist in the silk-trade at this mo ment, do not exist, or do not exist at all to the degree asserted ; and, 2dly, that such evils, so far a:; they may be supposed to exist, do not arise from the competition of French silks, or the introduction of liberal principles of trade. In support of these two petitions, the case of the throwsters, manufacturers, &c., assembled on this occasion, is, that the silk-trade is in an unusual and even ruinous state of depression,—that the masters are approaching to ruin, and the men verging on starvation,—and that these evils have commenced and been concurrent with the introduction of French silks into this country. My first business is not with the cause, but with the feet. I wholly deny the fact, and proceed now to establish the denial. My first proof I bring from the resolutions them selves, passed this day. They declare that there is in this country " an unprecedented consumption of silk goods." The fact is undoubted. The con sumption of silk goods, and those, too, of British manufacture, has increased to a great, perhaps to an " unprecedented," extent, since the sth of July, 1826, when Mr. Huskisson's Bill came into opera tion. This truth is established beyond the power of contradiction, by the data supplied by Mr. Grant in his luminous and unanswerable speech in the House of Commons, on presenting a petition a few nights since. He then supplied the following table : RaW silk imported in 24, 3,517,000 25, 3,046,000 26, 1,960,000 27, 3,760,000 And an estimate is stated, showing 28, 4,500,000 This comparison proves that the quantity of the raw material imported, and consequently of the ma nufactured silk produced in this country, was greater in 1627 than in 1822, 1824, or 1825,* and that it. promises to be yet greater in the present year, 1828. To prove that the silk manufacture of this country is not in the weak and crippled state which the in dividuals describe, I enclose an official report of the silk sale recently completed at the East India House. This sale took place on the 23d of June, now only 23d of July 11E:a:II and is that their itiho ewihraenoxdniss existing in favour of d r eso . a month since, and you will perceive that almost every article fetched a higher price than at the pre ceding sale of the 2d of September. That which in September was sold for 18s. 9d., in June sold at 19s. 6d.; 21s. Bd. was raised to 225. 54.; and 21s. 3d. :became 225. Bd. These, Sir, were purchases actually made by the very individuals who on the Infirm declaring that the silk manufactory of this f their own regardless o interests (good disinterested country was reduced to the brink of ruin, and who, care was for the poor weavers, who, from absolute want of work, b e driven to starvation,would unless French silks h s a o s uls sp D run d g ec prohibited. were again In t he course of these discussions, the public and the Government will also learn that the silk trade to a very large parts of th e country.
