LONDON, NIONIMIT, JULY 10, 1826.

We have received the French Papers of Friday and the
Fv.ile, dated Saturday, but their contents are of little int-
pot :ance.

The German Papers have arrivill in flue course. We
extract the folloning relative to the wool trade:-
I..}:trsto, Juxa 28.

The wool trade is now very brisk here. There are days when:
lad, nay even 200 cwt. arc sold and weighed at the weigh-house.
The pt ices have risen but little since the fair; the quantity of
wool exported is very large ; it all goe. to England, and provesthat
tie stock of middling wool must be much reduced in that country, as
the lalpaig wool merchants du not sin(' any to London for their own
a mount. Flocks of tine-woo:led Snort sheep continue to be sent
'to Colombia. On the other hand, the Government should now-
reli te in our country the Peruvian Vieunhas, as the improvement
of wool ought not indeed to cease among us. but requires the tern-
• Petition of another useful article. Our King was a benefactor of
it, country in his youth, by encouraging the breed of the improved
Saxon Merinos; let him in his old age give us a perpetual memo.
sod of his reign, in the introduction of die animal which produces
toe Vigogna wool, and the cultivation of silk, which according to the
ust recent observation, requires cleanliness and cool air much
more than a hot climate. .

We are sorry to observe that the accounts from the ma-
nufacturing districts holil c'it no prospects of speedy re-
lid to the distress which still continues to exist in that
quarter. The popular commotions, against which we lately
warned those country gentlemen who still adhere to the
rrstricti►e system in the corn trade, seem almost on the
point of breaking out with fresh vehemence. The Brad-
•'ird Courier states that the presence of the military had
again been deemed necessary at Blackburn, and that te-
nons apprehensions of mischief were entertained there.
Syn p ,ms of disturbance are also said to have manifested
themselves at Addiugham, though it was believed that
nothing serious had ensued in that quarter. By our ex-
tracts from the Dfanchc.vh•r Guardian, under the head
Manchester, it will be seen that the Riot Act was read, in
eonsequence of the partial assemblages of the people
In the Market-place, at Blackburn, on Tuesday ; which
had, however, the effect of causing the immediate tlisper-
Atm of the crowd. Delegates are said to he traversing the
•tountrY, in order to excite the people to hold meetings, and
was reported that one such meeting was to take place
•,a Monday last, at Ifambleton, a hill near Accrington ;
it did not take place. The civil aril military authori-
taw are on the alert for the prevention of all such assem-
Wages, and additional troops arc on their way to these
.iistricts. We have no &alb., however, of the correctness
of the asser►ion, that the suff. ri::gs labouring popula-
tion and the incitement, of designing nom we old ultimately
produce a dreadful explosion, wiles; some prompt measures
were taken to prevent it. We 0101114 c rtainly concur with
the writer in the Manchester Guardian, in lainsntirg the
'us of lives and dreadful consequences which must result
from any conflict between the starving people and the mili-
tary, and we agree that it would be infinitely better to pre-
vent it by some decisive measures for alleviating the exist-
ing distress, which is undoubtedly of a description " which
La considerate person can reflect upon without the utmost
anxiety." The subscriptions afford at hest but a tempinary
relief, and, such as it is, it already begins to fail. The ad-
dational circumstance of the drought, which threatens the
111011 L destructive consequences to the cm ape, renders the
situation of the country at this moment still more embar-
rassing. It is asserted, in the Leeds Mercury, that "two
fields of barley, between Doncaster and Sheffield, were
sold last weep, as they stand, fur one guinea an acre."
The same Paper states, that "a meeting of workmen from
If udderdield and the neighbouring •illages was held at
Almonilbury Bank, on the evening of Monday last, when
it was determined to present a requisition to Mr. B. CLAY,
the constable, to call a public meeting on an early day, for
the purpose of considering the beat means to be adopted to
prevent the starvation of the unemployed poor."
There can he little doubt, then, from all these concur-
ring circumstances, that the ease which had been foreseen
by Ministers, when they obtained the Parliamentary sane-
tScin to their plan of introducing foreign corn, has now
actually occurred, and to a most alarming extent. The

Manehester Guardian suggests the application of a sum of
money from the revenue to the relief of the distress of the
manufacturing districts ; but this would be like the private
subscriptions—a mere measure of temporary utility. Besides,
it is not by money that their distress can be relieved, but
by bread. We can, therefore, see no method which can be
of any service under these circumstances, but that on which
Ministers have already begun to act—the introduction of
foreign corn, in order to diminish the price of bread. There
is one symptom of the case to which even this measure will
not afford relief—the want of employment, which would
render it impossible for the poor to obtain food, however
cheap ; but even to this the revision of the Corn Laws would
afford an effectual remedy, and that in three different ways-
-Ist, by opening a new branch of trade ; 21, by enabling
foreign countries, which are too poor to give any thing but
their corn for the purchase of our commodities, to take our
manufactures in exchange for their a4rieultural produce;
and 3d, by diminishing the expense of subsistence to the
labourers. and enabling the masters to contend in point of
cheapness more effectually with foreign countries.
The repeal of the Corn Laws, like many other means
of relief, would undoubtedly require time before it
would come into full operation, as far as regards an
increase of employment ; and therefore some other
method of immediate relief would probably be required
in connexion with it. We stivesteil, some time back,
a scheme which we think practicable for improving the
p )or laws, and rendering diem less burdensome on the
agriculturist. Our scheme was to induce the persons liable
to poor rates to commute that tax, by appropriating a cer-
tain portion of land to be cultivated for mere necessaries
by the poor, who would subsist, while labouring at it, on the
produce of the same ground raised in former years by
eviler labourers. Such a scheme would, no doubt, he liable
to objections, on account of the abuses which might be in-
troduced into establishments of that nature ; but all these
objections are doubly applicable to the poor rates as now
collected, and we shall not now repeat the many advantages
which would arise from the metheal proposed. With these
observations we leave the subk•ct ; disavowing any wish to
throw additional gloom on our circumstances, but anxious
to meet the evil fully, and to spew the advocates of agri-
cultural monopoly what tiny have to fear. To the manu-
facturing population it tray be well to observe, that popular
commotions are not, in their circumstances, the true course
to obtain their ends. The right of resistance is a right
which ought to be understood to exist, both by the people
and their rulers; but it is not till persons arc reduced to a
choice of deaths that such desperate measures are to be re-
sorted to. The case will never occur, we venture to say,
while the present Government continues at the head of
affairs.

CITY, SATURDAY EvEartxo.

There has been a further depression in the Funds to-day
of nearly per cent., Consols for Account declining from
787 to 78f, without any reason being assigned for it, ex-
cepting the attempt made by Ministers " to raise the wind"
by the sale of Exchequer Bills. Among the reports of the
day has been one, that the Directors of the Bank have re-
fused to make any advances to Government on Exchequer
Bills, urging as an excuse the impolicy of increasing the
circulating medium ; and that, in consequence of this de-
ni• !!„: ;:overnment Brokers have orders to sell these Se-
cs... •-. openly. It will be seen by the annexed quotations,
that Exeluquer Bills, to-day as well as yesterday, could
not be obtained under as high a premium ss was given for
them during the whole of the week. This is the effect of
the dividends, the payment of which commenced at the
Batik this morning, and has reduced the current rate of
interest at the Stock Market from 4 and 5 per cent. to only
e per cent. It cannot therefore be a matter of surprise that
Securities are put ehas:ll which yield an interest of upwards
of 3 per cent, even with the prospect of an abundant sup-
ply of the same. India Bonds have been entirely neglected,
and are nominally the same as they have been for some
days past.
There is a report in circulation of a small loan from Go-
vernment to the East India Company, the continuance of
the Burtn:se war having occasioned an increased expendi-
ture. We believe there is no truth in this story, but that
the East India Company has succeeded in raising, at Cal-
cutta, a sum sufficiently large to meet the demands upon
it. It would he no di'ficult matter, even in times like the
present, for the Company to increase its pecuniary re-
sources by the sale of :ntlia Bonds, provided the interest
was raised to what it was before the general reduction in
the rate of interest in this eountry.
There was a slight elevation in the prices of the Funds
this afternoon, when Consols for Account were again sold
Ist 781 for the opening, and freely at 782 for August. At
(.four o'clock the market relapsed into its former state, with-
out, however, any extensive speculations having been en-
tered Into. There are some large accounts yet remaining
opera, but the continuation from account to account being
so easy, is some inducement to carry them on for six weeks
longer. _ _ . _ .

It has been stated, on the authority of private accounts
from Mexico to-day, that, notwithstanding the flourishing
report published as to the increase of the revenue of that
State, a Nlr.)lanning hail been deputed to proceed to Eno-
land to raise a new loan, on the best terms he was able:fills
individual, it is also said, had actually arrived at Vera
Crus, •on his way hither. Mr. Manning is likewise an
agent of a very respectable firm in London, formerly en-
gaged in the contract of the loans for Mexico and Colom-
bia. Whether this account is true or not, cannot yet be
ascertained, but it has hail the effect of rendering all the
South American Securities rather heavy to-day. All we
know is, that the firm above alluded to has received no
intelligence from Mr. Mantling to the effect stated, and
therefore we' believe that he has received no commission to
raise • any new loan in London. The report of the
inability of the Mexican Government to pay the divi-
dends on its stock due in October, met with very little
countenance, and it is not unlikely that the report respect-
ing the New Loan has been set afloat in order that
credit may be attached to it.
Mexican Bonds opened this morning rather briskly at
441 for Money and Account, but retrained flat during the
whole of the afternoon, owing to the prevalence of the re-
port just referred to, and left off at 431,with a very gloomy
appearance. The quotations of all the other Republican
Bonds have undergone little variation. Colombian were

sold as high as 29, but afterwards fell to 281. Bra-
zilian have declined I per cent. since yesterday. Northern
Securities have retrograded in the same ratio as our own
funds, but very few bargains have been made in them.
There has been a slight demand for Brazil Shares, at an
improvement of 11. on what they obtained yesterday. In
the other Schemes nothing of interest has incurred.
The foreign trade of London is in a deplorable state. In
place of the extensive neg :tiations of foreign bills on the
usual day of exchange, there was to-day only one drawer
of bills, and only one house takers (that is, givers of too-
-1 ney fur the bills). II tring's and Itothschild's were the
only firma in the negotiation with foreign countries.
The amount paid as duties on the French and East In-
dia silk manufactuted goods is much less than was antici-
pated. On the first day the import was allowed (the 6th
inst.) 70,0''0/.,was paid for duties ; yesterday only 10,0001.,
and we understand the payments this morning were incon-
siderable.

The remains of the Earl of Chichester are to be re-
moved to-morrow morning, from his house, in Stratton-
street, Piccadilly, for interment in the family vault in
Sussex.
