Yesterday a subscription for the sup

was entered into by the gentlemen of the

Some other humane expedients of

The privy council fat again yesterday,
at the castle, to take into consideration
the depressed state of publick credit, and
to resolve upon salutary measures for its
revival.
The council was very full, attended by
all the privy councellors at present in

DUBLIN, May 7. —In consequence of
the failure of two eminent houses in the
cotton branches, and the slackness which
has for some time prevailed in the manu
faaurin^ branches, near 5000 hands, de
pendent on their industry, in those man
ufadures, were thrown out of employ
ment, and reduced to wretchedness and
want.
Instigated by the calls ofhunger, num-]
bers of those poor people came forth to
seek for relief from the publick, and in
their way some of them became riotous,
and took by violence from some huck
sters and bakes shops, quantities of ba
con, bread, &c.
The Lord Mayor, Alderman 7777€/,
Warren, and Fleming, and the two fheriffs,
immediately came forward, attended by
some troops from the garrison, to pre
serve the peace, and by their persuasion
and remonstrance & the impropriety of
their condud dispersed them.
They then divided into groups, and
begged relief from all passengers they
met, but we do not hear of any violence
committed by them.

to take place there.

A poor Frenchman, (one of those
who had taken refuge in this town
from the differs of the Cape, and
who arrived here in a very bad
state of health) walked yesterday
with difficulty to the market to
make some small purchase of pro
vifioni ; he demanded the price
of eggs from a countryman, who
had some for sale ; the r I, de
signing to take advantage of the
stranger's ignorance of our lan
guage, &c. demanded a DOLLAR
per DOZEN ; the Frenchman
thought in dear, but uncertain of
the usual prices of our markets, at
length procured a dozen for three
quarters of a dollar—perhaps the
only sum misfortune had left him.
Such villainy loudly calls for the
interposition of our police.
