We are requested by the Committee who superintend
the relief for the distress of the silk-weavers, to state that
the reports of the revival of trade in Spitalfields are
without foundation, and that, on the contrary, tlye
number of weavers out of employment is daily in-
creasing. The Committee regret that they are com-
pelled to state they have sow upwards of four thousand
families, comprising about 17,000 people, on their
books receiving weekly relief ; and that the few hands
that are now getting employment are not equal to the
number that are daily turned out of work. Three fourths
of the money subscribed is already distributed; and unless
their funds are greatly increased, they must refuse every
new application, and soon he compelled to discontinue the
relief which it at present affords.
His Royal Highness the Duke of York honoured by his
presence the private view of the splendid elegancies which
are to be aold at Mr. Canty's Rooms, in Pall-mall, this
