DISTRESS hi the MANUFACTURING D2ST,RICTS.•

OL,tsoow.—in eonsequence of the letter which unrested in our
paper of the 30th, some documents were sect to London; and the
following further communication has since btenycreived In Olaa•

gow " Manufacturers' Relief Corn nittee,

"My Lerd,—l am dirczted by the Committee to adtnowledga

to promote the object in view.
" The Conmittee further desire me to state that they have, in
addition to their former grants. toted the sum of i.eour. in aid of

a'so made a donation of 291. The receipt of 54/. 10i. 2d. from the
officers and men of the 17th Regiment, shows how British soldiers
can sympathize with their distressed countrymen.
The labouring classes owe a debt of lasting gratitude to our
Provost, Mr. Farquharson, and Mr. Wylie, our County Fiscal.
Early and late we have had occasion to observe these gentlemen
moat strenuous in their endeavours to lighten the pressure of cola.
tufty. Such indeed have been their exertions. that we should
imagine they must hare interfered materially with t!:eir private
avocations. A more disinterested, active, and unwearied spirit of
berevotence, ei.played on any one public emergency, it has never
been our lot to witness.

BURNLEY —The distress for want of employment prevails to a
great extent in this town and neighbourhood, and it is apprehend( ci
that what little work is now inued to the weavers, or furnished in
the cotton mills, will, unless better prospects ensue, be wholly
withdrawn. It is truly melancholy to see the numbers of able,
bodied men rambling about the street without work ; the poor-
rates are almost treble their former amount, notwithstanding the
aid received front Lniulon, and the very generous subscriptions of
the inhabitants, which are now distributed in food to the distressed
applicants every Friday. In some of the adjoining townships, the
pour-rates now collected actually exceed the rental of the propei tv,
and the result is that the farmers are relinquishing at once their
farms, and, to pay their rents, are obliged to ma their cattle, &c.
Indeed several instances have occurred of farmers in previous ma-
derate circumstances being now obliged to seek that parish. relief
(iu consequence of the severity of parochial taxes upon their pro-
perty), which they themselves lately dispensed to others.

ECCLESHILL.—This village, situate about three milec frntrit
Blackburn, which has, till lately, been in a very thriving condition,
and within a few years Its. much improved in external appearance,
is row the scene of considerable distress. We have been favoured
with a statement, from which we gather the following particulars :
The toial population of the village is 607 trolls. of whom IN are
children under rine years of age; of the residue 302 are unemploy-
ed, and the remainder are more or less employed-9d at weaving
and 48 at oilier trades. The number of familie. row upon the pa-
rish books, es paupers, is 93, comprising 354 persons-44 of these
families receive weekly allowance, and the remainder have employ-
mem afforded them by the township. Thi■ 'firemen' must alona
be aufficient to convince every one of the great distress that races.
'tardy prevails in this village, where there are few or no residtne
landowners.

H ASI I KODEN.—A gentleman who has property in Haslingden,
the rental of which amounts to 7001. per annum, attended the last
flay day, to receive his hall-year's rents, and the whose sum paid
him was not more than 171.
COVEN Tier —There is a good deal of distress in this city among
the riband wearers, but the trade is certainly improving, and the
alarm about French competition has very generally subsided.

An accident recently befel the !lon. Gustavus Talbot.
fifth son of Lord Talbot, at I ngestrie, near Shrewsbury. Illyrian,
gentleman was driving a horse, unaccustomed to harness, through
the Park, in a low carriage on lour %heels, when the animal set oil
at full speed. and attempted to kap a gate. The consequence gra,.
that the shafts broke, and the )(lung gentleman falling forwards,
had his thigh forced with such violence between the front of the
carriage and the gate, that it received a severe fracture. The pa-
tient is doing well.

their reception by a supply of live police men. and additional means
of defence in Captain Cotter and six or seven other individuals. In
