A considerable damp has just been thrown over
the commercial classes at Leeds. by the failure
of • large house in the general commission line,
which has excited apprehensions fur the fete of
others, which we hope will not be realised. There
have also been some recent disturbances in that
ueighbourhood, particularly at Dew-green, Body'
Heckmondwike, and Dewsbury. occasioned by at-
tacks made by some of " the Clothiers' Union"
men upon the workmen called " Blacks"—that is,
workers uuder the statement prices. In conse-
quence of these disturbances, these townships have
applied for a military force.
There is • statement handing about, evidently
derived from an official source, 'hewing en
iis-
crease in the Excise up to the 7th of this month, of
about 300,000/. as compared' with the correspond-
ing quarter of last year, and from this statement
attempts are made to produce a conviction
upon the uninformed, that the revenue is im-
proving. To act. fairly, the paper should have of
the seine side a statement of the decline in the Cus-
toms, and slat • memorandum, *hewing that the
ratio of 3,190,000/. new taxes would produce more
than 300,0001. within the time, consequently the.
there would be uo increase, even if the Customs had
not declined. But this would not be the whole
truth ; for if the Cuancitt.Lon of the EICHEQUIIR
be correct, the whole amount of new texts re-
ceived within the six months preceding the sth of
January last. would be no more thou half a million ;
therefore, the receipts now must be in an increased
mini, mid ought to *hew sa excess of 600,000/. up
to the 7th February, over the corresponding quar-
ter of last year: all below that is decrease, and the
sth of April will furnish the proof.
