the cost of the raw material, which had to under* the
process of throning, dying, weaving. &c. is 18s., it is quite
clear that the difference between these two sums must be
paid to the operatives in the purchase cf labour. What
this amou.tt will rise to on a large capital, even in a single
manufactory, may be readily estimated. Where, we would
'ask, is the labour to be absorbed of the thousands of dis-
culled workmen, that, after three weeks—perhaps less—shall
have passed over their heads, will not know which way to
tarn themselves, nor where to find support for their starv-
ing families, but within the walls of a workhouse ? This
disastrous period, frightful as it is to contemplate, will in-
fallibly arrive, if the period for admitting foreign silks is
not postponed—and postponed, too, fcr a period that will
admit the British silk-weavers to bring their machinery—
I u they are gradually doing—to that state of finished im-
provement which will place them on such a level of skill
as will enable them to contend successfully with foreign
competition. Let the manufacturers be left alone for a few
years, and they will accelerate all those improvements in
the trade, and all those desirable results to its prosperity,
which Government intend in their favour, with better suc-
cess, and with much greater certainty, than they will ever
be effected by any legislative interference, however well
meant it may be, and however much it may promise.
Who are they, after all, that advocate the introduction of
foreign silks, and petition so urgently to Government for a
free trade? Are they the manufacturers or the workmen?
Neither. They are the warehousemen ;—the class of per-
sona who " neither toil nor spin;" who buy from the
manufacturers and sell to the deulars—who, the more ex-
tensive their assortment the greater their chance of pur-
chasers—and who ate therefore anxious to have foreign
silks in their warehouses, in common with British, because,
as tastes ere various, all custotners may be satisfied. If
this class of persons, who maintain no labour—who keep
no looms—w•ho pay no wages--if their interests are to be
consulted, to the exclusion of the artisans and the manu-
facturers—then, though half a million of starving workmen
should he cut upon the world, and the ten thousand looms
which give them bread should be burnt for firewood—the
introduction of the foreign fabric is no doubt the policy
suited to the end. But if it is meant that the Silk Trade
should be made to flourish, and the manufacturer be pro-
tected—these are ends to be accomplished by other meat:.
The projected system leads, we are satisfied, to very op-
posite results.

This important subject opens itself to so wide an extent
of observation, that we are obliged, by want of space, to
defer our further remarks upon it till Monday.

Wtareaulherited to state, that the particulars contained
in the Times of Wednesday respecting the Mexican
Company, and communicated in a letter signed " A Mer-
chant," are wholly untrue. The names of the Directors of
this Company stand too high to require that they should
be defended against any aspersion which this anonymous
libeller would cast upon them. It becomes still less neces-
sary when the slanderous fabrkation is found in a journal
in which any scribbler, If he dots but attack individuals
sufficiently distinguished, may find a ready vehicle for his
scurrility. Without descending to a detailed refutation of
the statement of this pretended "Merchant," we will give
a sample of it, for -- purpose of showing that it is
not unintentionally, false.

upon public grounds it is of consequence to maintain, are
taking the necessary steps to put themselves in a condition
to meet with firmness any exigency that may arise.
About the middle of the day a report was currently sent
forth that the Bank were about to issue 11. and et. notes,
which made, on its first announcement, a favourable im-
pression on Consols. About two o'clock the issues of these
small notes were made. They are old notes, some dated
in 1812, others in 1920 and 1821 ; there not being time,
we should imagine, for engraving fresh plates of the present
date. It is, besides, understood to be only a temporary
measure, for the relief of. the mail-coaches from the im-
mense weight they would otherwise have to carry, if the
same amount of value in sovereigns was forwarded by them.
At this moment the demand for gold or of England
notes is so great in the provinces, that the former, in
sufficient quantities, could not be convoyed 11 the mail-
coaches ; and this temporary expedient has therefore been
resorted to of necessity. It has probably been hastened by
the scarcity of W. notes, there being this afternoon none of
that value to be obtained at the Bank. _ _

In consequence of the heavy transfers, the Stock Ex-
change was .kept open until a quarter past four o'clock.
The Bank is still pursuing its liberal course, and thy issues
of small notes may be considered as a branch of the system
so beneficially pursued by this werful Corporation
during the late crisis, and which has justly raised it so high
in public estimation.

We understand that the merchants and shopkeepers of
Sheffield, Rotherhatn, Chesterfield, and Loughborough,
have met, in conscgnence of the recent stoppages in town,
and have iesued handbills, stating that they shall continue
to take notes of their respective banks to any amount in ex•
change for goods, &c. On Friday remittances in cash to
all the above places were supplied to a very large amount.
At Sheffield the handbills received 600 signatures in a few
hoe vv.

Upon authority that we think we can rely, we have
heard that Everett, Walker, and Co. although they will
pay 20s..in the pound, and be in possession afterwards of.
a very large balance of property, do not intend to continue
their banking ettablialnnent in Mansion House-street.

The Earl of Liverpool and the Chancellor of the Exche-
quer returned to London yesterday morning about half-part
ten o'clock, and in the course of the morning they were
busily engaged with more of the Cabinet Ministers in Lon-
don, anal various public and Official gentlemen. Messen-
gers were despatched in different directions without any
eessati6n, till some of them were quite exhausted. The
consultations were held at the ltous,2 of the Chancellor of
the Exchequer and of the Earl of Liverpool, but principally
at the latter; in fact, the Noble Earl's house was in a con=
stant state of bustle during the whole day, and probably a
more important subject never occupied the attention of any
Minister, especially under such extraordinkry sill unex-
pected circumstances. At two o'clock the Earl of Har-
rowby, Lord President of the Privy Council, arrived
in town in a chariot and four, having travelled with great
spee.l from his seat in Staffordshire. The Noble Earl
alighted at the Foreign Office. His Lordship, after an
interview with Mr. Secretary Canning for some time, went
to the Earl of Liverpool's house, in Whitehall-place, and
joined in the consultation with the Earl of Liverpool,
the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Lord 'Melville, Mr.
Huskisson, and Mr. Secretary Peel. His Lordship re-
turned from the consultation to Mr. Secretary Canning, at
the Foreign Office. At four o'clock in the afternoon a
important meeting tool: place at the Earl of Liver-

Herries and

rison ; Secretary Peel ; the
Governor of the Bank of England; John Pearse, _ i.;
Samuel Thornton, Esq., and another Bank Director ; some
of the Commissioners for the Reduction of the National
Debt; and S. Dighton, Esq., Secretary and Comptroller-
General to the Commissioners. The meeting continued in
deliberation till half-past five o'clock, when the Governor,
Deputy-Governor, and Directors of the Bank returned to
the Bank of England. The Cabinet Ministers and official
Gentlemen remained in consultation till near a quarter
past six o'clock.
We understand that the Directors of the Bank of Eng-
land have, in addition to the very large supply of specie
sent into the country. issued some one-pound notes, to take
the placed the small provincial notes in districts where
the failure of Banks has occurred, being intended as a
temporary measure to relieve the distress in those dis-
tricts.

The public are respectfully informed that Messrs. Bar-
clay, Britton, Bevan and Co., are now the London Corre-
spondents of Messrs. Walkers, Eyre, and Stanley, of the
.11heflield and Rotherham Banks.

We are authorised to state, that the draughts and notes of
Aleuts. Hutton and Co., bankers at Richmond and Ley-
burn, in Yorkshire, and those of Messrs. Forster and Co.,
bankers also, at Carlisle and Penrith, were, immediately
upon the suspension of Messrs. Pole and Co., taken up by
Sir John Perring, Shaw, Barber and Co.' and that all de-
mands upon those firms hare been paid by them.
We are requested to contradict an article which app"arcrl
in dift'erent London Journals of yesterday, copied from a
Country Paper, that the ‘Vinehester Bank of Messrs.
Dean and Littlehales bad suspended their payments.—
That Bank is ready to pay all demands that can be made
upon it, either at Winchester, or at Mr. Bentel'a, broker,
Angel-court, Throgmor ton-street.
