It appears, from a parliamentary return issued
this morning, that the surepte annual receipt on articles

from 1832 to 1881, inclusive, was 821,0351.

The guardians of the Blackburn Union have
unanimously resolved to petition the Poor-law Board
for pecuniary assistance. The guardians request the
central board, by application to parliament or otherwise
(but not by • rat• in aid), to assist them with money
which will be repaid in more prosperous times. From •
calculation of one of the guardians it appears that the rate
of 3s, in the pound, laid in February, and now nearly ex-
hausted, produced 18,0001. ; now, it is assumed, the rime
rating would not produce 12,0001., whilst ••much larger
amount will be required to meet the existing distress.
