Mr. SLR: v. Ist 860 read his monthly reportfrom which we

" Tne coutiuued depression in the trade of the district has
still (tenser reduced the amount ot employment afforded
by the aillr aril manufactories to the cotton operatives.
Tne nest unfortunate feature In the present condition of
the outtou famine is the arrival of a time long foreseen, when
others be-iii, the operative clime have begun to feel its c in-
sequeaci •. betweeu the Ist and Mgt October no fewer than
nuty•ei_ Lit epinners and manufacturers, almost entirely the
latter. nave Peet. compelled to suspeovl payment; and in
this ouui tier iaity are nut included woo, by private arraoge-
menta. this o icon enabled to prevent their didicultiea being
publicly stoics. 13y these failures it is estimated that at
least I d,i;i operatives will be or have been
for the time entirely thrown out of employment.
The increase of indigence has of necessity been considerable,
and obit's.. tic date of trade changes for the better much
more rapidh tuau is anticipated, therein every reason to fear
that ne st redith there will he a still further increase in the
somber, relieved. From inquiries made I find that the
guardises I elleVed in the last week of October 8,144 able-
bodied we a. mud the local committees 4,72'2, making a total of
1.2„ono. vi tuoise relieved by the guardians men, and
of those us tie local committees 4,112 are reported as being
fit for tin ph:yawn& on public works, making a total of 8.372
stated to Le aoitaLle fur such employment ; but it is only
right to add that considerable numbers of these persona,
wbetuer •45 the books of the guardians or local committees,
are iu zeaiipt of short-time wages, and consequently
there is ,n to expect they will be among the first
so chtisio fail and regular employment in their own
branches of industry ; wetly also are resident in districts
where uo puidic works base been enabled to be carried out.
I beg to call the attention of the committee to the system
still odiptel in opposition to the resolution of the com-
mittee passel on the I:db August, restricting the supple-
menting of the guardians' relief by local committees to
unions wl.ere the pouptrisni exceeds 5 per cent, on the popu-
lation. Ttie ISAliegtoo, Chaslderton, Holliowood, Hyde,
Littielioroogh, Rot tou, Shawfortb, Swinton, Whitworth,
and W:;ais con,n;ittees are still adopting this unsound
seethe ! if relief, and in their cases there can
be no es -.is, that the pressure on the rates requires it. I
trust t a•.-ek, as an appendix to this report, to be able
to lay Le fore sou s statement in continuance of one pre-
sented time last year ,Lowing the whole expenditure
since 1,•.1 for the relief of the poor both by the guardians
and heal colemittees. In conclusion, it is satisfactory to
state that bow inquiries made float the various petty
sessional d;vnions of the county the amount of crime con-
tinuis rather oii the decrease than otherwise, and it is with
LO say.vfactioa that it can be stated that so far
during the wuute period of the cotton famine no perceptible
moral evil revels has been the consequence of such a crisis.
Mr. Corbett has informed me, in reply to my inquiries, that
during the t. rst nine mouths of the present year the health
of the pe• stion if the district was, according to the re-
torts if tie union medical &rdent, satisfactory. And
ulthou ;ii this 1, the period when fever and other epidemic
corn t 2.•l'endly make their appearance, that with ords•
nary care on tue part of the authorities, there is no reason
to fear any es es, iD Loose diseases generally considered as
belougin4 to toe preventible divas of disorders."
