Fro the Singapore Chronick.l
Among the novel objects which the natural history of
this island offers to the scientific observer, stakes are
amongst the most curious and interesting. Frei» forty to
fifty distinct species have already been collected, among
which many are believed to be entirely new. • The Malays,
who are particular to redundancy in small matters, have a
name for every one of them. Among them is the Python,
or Ular Sawah, improperly called, the Boa COnsttietor,
although we have met with none of extraordinary magni-
tude, and two curious species of hooded snake. In so
great a variety six poisonous species only have been found ;
nor is the bite of these in the highest degree venomous. cc
the worst of them seldom destroy a fowl in less than Mi.(
en hour, and we hare not yet heard of a Beath from their
bite among the inhabitants. The mischievous or worth-
less part of the creation is not less numerous than varicur
in Singapore, so that a naturalist is presented with daily
opportunities of observing their habits and manners. We
may notice two examples of these habits which fell under
our own observation. The most poisonous of the whole is
a green snake, spotted black and yellow, with a triangolar
shaped lead, and a pair of formidable fangs on each side
of the mouth. This animal, in its habits, is so sluggislt
and so little irritable, that we have seen the Malaya
sport with it in their naked bands, without the fangs being
extracted. We have seen the same animal die in three
hours from the bite of a hooded snake, to which it bad
offered no resistance, although the most poisonous of the
two. Two days ago a Malay brought to a gentleman a
couple of snakes of different species, tied by the neck and
body to one pole, the largest about six feet long, .and the
smallest about four. In this situation the former took the
head of the latter in its mouth, soil there held it fast,
being unable to swallow his prey from the tightness of the
ligature round the neck. As soon as this was undone,
however, he commenced the process of deglutition, and by
slow means swallowed the whole in about half an hour,
not in the least disturbed from its purpose by the preseners
of a number of persons, nor by being frequently handled
and moved, his whole beastly existence being apparently
absorbed in the one aOpetite of satisfying Isis hunger.

AT a numerous NIF.ETING of the SILK MANU-
FACTURERS, SILKMEN, and THROWSTERS of
MACCLESFIELD and its Neighbourhood, held on Mondays
January 30, 18%;
JOHN BROCRLCHURST, Jun. Esq. in the Chair;
It was unanimously resolved,
lit, That the Silk Trade is depressed to an extent unknown at
any former period.
21, That although the manufacturing interests generally are in a
ewe of stagnation, at no turner periods of general distress has the
Silk Manufacture, from its peculiar circumstances, been depressed
In the same proportion, and that, in addition, this manufacture
being principally one of taste and fashion, has been, at all other
times of general distress, in a certain state of activity at this season
of the year, in preparation for the Spring Trade.
3d, That so far front this being the case at present, more then
half the working population of this town and neighbourhood are
unemployed, and the others working not more than three or four
days per week, and at a reduced rate of wages.
4th, The chief causes to which this state of things can be attribut-
ed are the measures proposed by his Majesty's Ministers to make a
further reduction of 2s. bd. per lb. in the duty on Foreign Thrown
nilk, and the prospect of the importation of Foreign Wrought Silks
in the month of July next, which deters purchasers from coming
into the market, from a conviction that the goods of foreign manu-
facture will be produced at a price against which the British manu-
facturer cannot compete.
sth, That the relative circumstances of this country, and those
from which competition is to be apprehended, are such as to pre-
clude the prospect of our competing with any chance of success,
and that such must have been the feeling of Parliament, who con-
sidered a duty of 30 per cent. necessary for our protection.
6111, That such cannot be made effective, as is admitted by all
those who have had any experience of protecting: duties, as well as
Ly his Msjesty's Ministers themselves.
7th, That the Silk manufacture has made great progress both in
event and in the improvement of its fabrics; and, according to the
Renoir! of the horde' Committee in 1821, employed a population of
Eoo.ntil souls, since which it has been very considerably increased,
and a vast addition has been made to the capital employed In it ;
progress has been effected untltr an absolute prohibition of
the import of Foreign wrought goods, and a high protecting duty
upon Foreign Thrown Silks.
3th, That those protections are still necessary to avert total ruin
to the Throwsters and hlanufacturers, and starvation to the great
body of operatives unemployed by them.
Bth. That a Petition, founded on the foregoing Resolutions, be
immaliately prepared, and presented to both Houses of Parliament.
loth, That there Resolutions be advertised in the two Maccles-
field Papers, and in two London Papers.
JOHN BROCELEHURST, Jun. Chairman.
ft was afterwards resolved,
That the thanks of this Meeting be given to the Chairman for
his able sod impartial conduct in the ('hair.

Sheweth—That M a public meeting of riband manufacturers, held
in the city of Coventry, on the thirteenth day of November last,
your memorialists were deputed respectfully to represent to his
Majesty's Onvemment the present alarming state of the trade, and
the great injury that will be occasioned to property generally, in
that city and neighbourhood, by the coming into operation of the
recent Statute which authorises the importation of foreign wrought
silks, from and after the fifth day of July next.

That from Information lately obtained of the actual state and ex-
tent of the trade in France and Switzerland, your memorialists are
convinced that those countries alone would be able to supply the
English market with a much greater quantity of wrought silks
than will be required to meet the whole of the consumption and de.
mand in this country.

REGENT.STHEET. NEAR PALL-MALL.
TO LINENDRAPERS, SIM-MERCERS, WINE-MER-
CHANTS, UPHOLDERS.
And others requiring extensive Premises in a first-rate Situation.
Ilv Messrs. DAWSON and CAFE,
Peremptorily, by order of the Proprietor, on the Premises, on
TUESDA Y. Feb. 21, at 12.
THE substantial LEASEHOLD PREMISES, situate
on the east side of the Promenade of Regent-street, being
No. 23. between Pall-mall and Piccadilly. The Premises com-
prise five bed-chambers, and closet fitted up with cistern ; a lofty
drawing-room. fitted up with marble chimney-piece, 20 feet 9
inches by 16 feet 6 inches ; and six sitting.rooms ; a spacious lofty
show.shop, two parlours, and private entrance ; housekeeper's
room, kitchens, excellent cellanng, and every accommodation ;
held for a term of twenty-one years from the 4th day of June, 1820,
at a low rent.

That owing to the numerous advantages possessed by the foreign
manufacturer over the English, it will be impossible for the latter
to compete with the former in the present state of the home trade ;
and if the importation of foreign wrought silks shall be allowed to
take place at the period now fixed, not only will the English ma-
nufacturer be compelled to dispose of the stock that will remain on
hand at a very great loss, but he will be rendered incapable of
prosecuting the improvements which have been suggested in
the machinery employed in the manufacture, and must finally
abandon the manufacturing branch of the trade altogether to
foreigners.

SPIT'ALFIELDS.—DISTRESS of the SILK
WEAVERS. Fcb. 6,18!5.
At a MEETING of the COMMITTEE held this day in the
Vestry-room. Spitaldelds,
IV M. HALE, F Aq. Treasurer, in the Chair ;
Re‘oired. That owing w the very many applicants foe relief,
shirt' up to this day have mehed the number of three thbuund
cases. and averaging foueto a family, amount to twelve thousand
ielsons, the demands on their funds have been so great that the
C,maiittee are under the necessity of stating, that unless the Fund
pl it d at their disposal be promptly and considerably augmented,
the Committee will be compelled not only to refuse all fresh ap-
'.on•, but todiscont int: e aflurding a further relief to the distress.
mg cases that have been already aubmittLd to their consideration.
Resolved, That some of the public papers having misstated
the amount of relief granted to the applicants, the Committee
think It right to lay before the public the scale which they have
adopted :

That under this impression, and foreseeing the consequences
that must inevitably result from the introduction of foreign silks,
many of the most respectable houses in the trade have already be-
gun to tliseharge their workpeople, and your memorialists are per-
suaded that their example will be quickly followed by all the rest
of the manufacturers.

That of nine thousand seven hundred looms at present employed
in Coventry anti its neighbourhood upwards of seven thousand live
hundred are the property of the operative weavers—the far greater
number of whom will be reduced to absolute want by the imme.
diate introduction of foreign goods.
That your memorialists have ascertained thatiilk can be wrought
Into riband by the foreign manufacturer at an average of three
pence three farthings per ounce, whilst in this country the cost of
producing the like description of goods is one shilling and two pence
three farthings per ounce, making the cost of labour in wader,
turing sixty-three ounces of silk into ribands in this country, three
pounds seventeen shillings and five pence, whereas the foreign ma-
nufacturer can produce the same quantity at a cost of one pound
and four pence.
That assuming such calculationa to be correct, it will be obvious
to your Honourable Board that if silk be sent from this country,
be manufactured abroad. and be re-imported in its manunictured
state, it could still be sold, after paying the duty of thirty per cent.
at a fair profit, and at a lower inlet, than the same goods could
have been sold if manufactured in this country.

That notwithstanding the present state of. commercial credit,
which is severely felt at Coventry, and must inevitably produce
great embarrassment and difficulty among a numerous class of ma.
nufacturcra, your memorialists and others rill not only retain their
own werkpeople, but will endeavour to give work to such as at this
critical period may be thrown out of employ, should his Majesty's
Government, after taking the circumstances of the ease into consi.
deration, be disposed to afford to them that protection which can
alone prevent this important branch of trade from being wholly lost
to the nation.
